Hu Ye once said that he wanted to write all the things he saw in the Ming Dynasty into his records of Ming Dynasty's experiences. Isn't this the original intention of his decision to write such a book?

This book is already very thick now, to be precise, there are already two books, because one book can’t be finished.

Before, Hu Ye did write a lot of things, such as how shameless Zhu Di was, how ignorant Zhu Neng was, how brave Zhang Fu was, and even wrote in the missing Buddhist bead of Monk Daoyan.

But a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang panicked and deceived everyone in the world. Finally, when Hu Ye knew about this lie, he finally did not write down the lie about Zhu Yuanzhang. This may be the respect for an old man.

So Hu Ye has broken his rules, and once there is a first time, there will be a second time. This is not. Hu Ye is considering whether to write down the underground passage in Nanjing.

So far, only he and Ruan An know about this matter. If he writes it down and lets others read it, the problem will be big.

"If there is really another one, there will be another two."

Hu Ye finally didn't write this up. Since history is a puzzle, let him become a puzzle.

After closing the Ming Dynasty's experiences, Hu Ye came to the window, looked at the weather of the New Year outside, and murmured, "Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, this is what I promised your grandfather, so you can do it yourself in the future."

"Ah Yeh!"

In the palace, Zhu Yunwen suddenly sneezes.

"Who is talking about me again?" Zhu Yunwen rubbed his nose until he rubbed his nose red before stopping.

"Emperor, Duke An Guo is in Cui Jun's ration again." Qi Tai stepped forward and said.

"Military rations? Didn't we allocate 50,000 s of military rations last month? Why did we need them again so soon?"

Zhu Yunwen was a little annoyed. Over the past year, Yun Zichen was asking for military rations all the time, even once a month, the treasury was about to be emptied.

"Emperor, Duke An Guo is now leading more than 200,000 troops. He will block the Yan army in Shandong. That is more than 200,000 mouths. 50,000 stones of food are not enough." Huang Zicheng murmured.

"How much surplus food is left in the national treasury?"

Zhu Yunwen asked loudly.

"When the emperor was in war last year, except for the large amount of grain paid in the water towns in Jiangnan, there was no such thing as the northern part of the country." Wang Chun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, replied.

"I'm asking how much surplus grain is!" Zhu Yunwen said unhappily.

Wang Chun's face changed, and he said for a moment, "Your Majesty, the surplus grain is less than 500,000 stones, and it is just over the end of the year. There are still several months before the next harvest. If it is used, I'm afraid..."

"Allocate 100,000 stones to Duke An Guo and tell him that this is the last military ration. If the King of Yan cannot be pacified, there will be no military ration in the future!"

Zhu Yunwen is very angry now, for three years! It has been three years! Not only has Zhu Di's rebellion not been quelled, but the scope is getting bigger and bigger. Not only has it controlled Peiping, but it also controlled nearby Hejian and Datong.

During this year, Yun Zichen could only guard a place in Shandong and could not go out of the city to meet the enemy. Because once they left the city, whether it was heavy cavalry or fast-reacting infantry, they had no resistance in front of Zhu Di's Shenji Camp.

Because the Shenji Camp has now grown to a scale of 2,000 people, every time Zhu Di attacked cities and villages, the Shenji Camp took the lead. A rain of bullets and bullets came, and a large part of the city wall was cut off. If the walls in Shandong were not high and thick, they would have been taken down by Zhu Di, and Yun Zichen and the others would have been unable to resist for a year.

But hundreds of thousands of dollars have to eat and drink. In the past two years, Shandong and Henan have been in war again, so Yun Zichen could not go to the local people to ask for food, so he could only let Zhu Yunwen send military rations.

What's even more terrible is that Zhu Di often dispatched hot air balloon troops to install gunpowder. If he found the southern transportation force, he would blow it up with gunpowder. Moreover, it flew so high that Yun Zichen could only sigh at the ball.

So when Yun Zichen saw Zhu Yunwen's last imperial edict, his face looked ugly. The 100,000 stones of grain would not last long. Will Zhu Yunwen really not give food at that time? Now there is no food at home in Shandong people. Do you want to ask the people for it?

If there is no food to eat, how can the army fight? Then wouldn’t Zhu Di’s army pass through Shandong and head straight to Nanjing?

He didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was thinking, did he have doubts about himself? Do he think he was fighting passively? Do he think his men could destroy Zhu Di?

He once had this strength and almost did it, but if Zhu Yunwen had not sent the third prince to the army, Zhu Di would have now become a pile of bones.

But now he can't do it. Not to mention destroying Zhu Di's troops, it would be difficult to defend the city. If Zhu Di's army had not had many, he would have taken crazy attacks, cities in Shandong would not be able to stop it.

Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan both knew Yun Zichen's difficulties and began to look for local tyrants and gentry in various parts of Shandong to ask them to pay for their money and food, so that the army could be fed, so that they could resist Zhu Di's army.

However, all this preparation was futile because they no longer had to deal with Zhu Di's army head-on.

In May of the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di finally gave up his plan to attack all parts of Shandong, but instead made a big detour, bypassing Jinan, Dongchang, and directly attacking Peixian and Xuzhou.

At the beginning, even Yun Zichen couldn't believe that Zhu Di was so bold that he bypassed their Shandong army and directly conquered Nanjing to attack. Didn't he know that there were still 100,000 remaining troops in Fengyang Prefecture near Nanjing?

If they and Fengyang's remaining troops attacked each other, Zhu Di would not die?

So when Yun Zichen first heard this news, he didn't believe it was true. He thought it was Zhu Di's plan to attack the east and west, so he asked him to lead his army south to rescue, and the army took the opportunity to occupy Jinan.

But when Pei County and Xuzhou were captured by Zhu Di, Yun Zichen woke up. The war over the past year had already made him feel a little slow to react.

Who is Zhu Di? Is that the one who can stick to the rules? Do people who stick to the rules dare to rebel? With a team of more than 10,000 people, they have grown to 100,000. If it weren’t for the loss of troops and generals in the battle of Dongchang, they would have already come to the city of Nanjing.

Now that Jinan knows that the defense is very strict, he bypasses Jinan Dongchang and attacks Peixian and Xuzhou. I have to say that he is very bold, but the effect is also immediate.

At this moment, Yun Zichen had to lead a 100,000 army southwards, and the remaining troops in Fengyang also sent troops northwards after hearing this, trying to attack Yun Zichen's army forward and backwards, hoping to eliminate Zhu Di in Xuzhou.

When Zhu Yunwen heard that Zhu Di's army had already gone south to Xuzhou, his face turned green and began to order Nanjing to martial law and order the kings of the world to serve the king, but there were not many vassal kings who obeyed his orders.

Thinking about it, those vassal kings who listened to Zhu Yunwen's words either died of ** or were raised in Nanjing like pigs.

If they sent troops to help Zhu Yunwen defeat Zhu Di, what will happen after that? Could it be that Zhu Yunwen will be cut again? They are not fools. Now Zhu Di has reached Xuzhou, only a few hundred miles away from Nanjing, and the situation will soon become clear.

Once Zhu Di's army had an absolute advantage, they would respond to Zhu Di's call to kill Qi Huang and clear the monarch. Once Zhu Di's army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated in a mess, they could advance to defend the king and quell the rebellion.

When Zhu Yunwen heard the news about these vassal kings, he directly issued an order to cut off their numbers and let local commanders control the vassal kings.

The first person to contact Zhu Di's army was Fengyang's 100,000 remaining troops. They had never had any experience in fighting with Zhu Di. They still followed the habit of fighting with the Mongols decades ago. They first shot a round of arrows, then the heavy armored cavalry charge, and finally the infantry harvested the heads.

This tactic is not effective when dealing with Mongolian heavy cavalry, and it will only be effective when dealing with the remaining Mongolian soldiers.

Therefore, it was useless to deal with Zhu Di's army. Two Thousand Shenji Camps stood in front, and thousands of heavy cavalrymen had all fallen before they rushed up.

It was time for the Duoyan cavalry to make contributions. The heavy armor directly ignored the arrows and rushed around the army.

So the Fengyang Left Resident Army collided with Zhu Di's army on the first day and returned home, losing 20,000 people, but less than 100 people were killed.

In this battle, the Fengyang left-behind army was frightened. They believed that they were not facing humans at all, but the devil who harvested human heads.

When the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen sat down. Could it be that Zhu Di's army was so powerful? Is Fengyang's left-behind army so vulnerable?

After the battle was over, Yun Zichen's army arrived in Pei County, but was blocked by Zhang Fu, who was left in Pei County, because now the only army that the court threatened Zhu Di was the only one of Yun Zichen.

As long as Yun Zichen's army is blocked north of Pei County, Zhu Di can lead his army to attack Nanjing. After taking Nanjing, Yun Zichen's army will not be enough.

Pei County could not capture it for a long time, so Yun Zichen had to give up Pei County and learn from Zhu Di to go out of Linyi in the east, went straight to Yangzhou, and prepared to return to Nanjing.

However, this trip took hundreds of miles and wasted time on the road.

In the Nanjing crisis, Zhu Yunwen had to send a general to command the Fengyang remaining troops, because that was the last barrier in Nanjing. If the remaining 80,000 troops did nothing, Zhu Di would really go straight to Nanjing.

However, there are no generals available in the court now, only Li Jinglong, who was recalled a year ago. Now Zhu Yunwen said that he could not use Li Jinglong, and it is already a great favor to not kill him.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen had to use Xu Huizu. He had never dared to use it because of his relationship with Zhu Di, but now he doesn't care about so much. (To be continued...)
