Chapter 136: Kuidong responds to asking for the moon
Zhu Youlang's expedition this time is quite a bit amazing.
It is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.
Before the troops moved, food and grass were carried out first, and Wen'anzhi was responsible for raising food and grass.
According to Zhu Youlang's plan, it is necessary to raise at least three months of food and grass for the army.
If there is more, it is best.
Anyway, this time I am attacking by water, so there is no need to worry about food and grass transportation.
Then there is the military mobilization and adjustment.
Bai Wenxuan and Dou Mingwang need to be replaced, and the Chengdu garrison must also be adjusted.
Then there is the problem of the navy warship.
When the last time they attacked Chongqing, many Ming army naval divisions were temporarily in a hurry, resulting in a lot of small boats mixed in the army.
This time I have to go down the river to attack Huguang, so naturally I can’t use these small boats anymore.
Fortunately, after the revival of Chongqing, the Ming army had enough craftsmen to build ships, and the ships built could have a place to store. In addition, the warships seized from the Qing Navy had already included hundreds of large river ships, which could accommodate nearly 100,000 troops at the same time.
Zhu Youlang immediately ordered the navy to mobilize to Fengjie, and he was preparing to lead a large army from Chengdu to fight.
On September 19, 13th year of Yongli, Zhu Youlang, wearing armor, surrounded by famous generals such as Jin King Li Dingguo, and then left the city.
Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan, cabinet chief Wen Anzhi and others sent the sage outside the city.
Zhu Youlang killed the white horse and sweared, and he would never return if he could not win this battle!
From the capital to Fengjie, it was the control of the Ming army, and the Ming army could obtain a certain amount of food and grass supplies.
After the Fengjie Festival, you can make another big addition.
Then we entered the Kuidong area.
Zhu Youlang did not expect to get food and grass support from the Thirteen Kuidong families, but only hoped that they could bring their own dry food.
The food and grass consumption of more than 100,000 troops is extremely high, so we cannot all rely on Zhu Youlang.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
Before leaving, Wen Anzhi bowed to Zhu Youlang and said sincerely.
"Don't worry, Wenqing, you will be able to eat the fresh fish from Yiling in not long."
Zhu Youlang said confidently
"What, Your Majesty is going to fight east?"
Wushan Liu Tichun was the first to get the news among the Thirteen Honors. He danced with excitement like a child.
At this moment, Yuan Zongdi was still in Wushan, patted Liu Tichun on the shoulder and said, "Erhu, it's almost the same. Do you want to be ashamed of your face in front of the child?"
Liu Tichun suddenly realized that when he saw Liu Xingming standing beside him and laughing secretly, he glared at him angrily and said, "Why are you laughing at me!"
Liu Xingming quickly stopped laughing and hid behind Yuan Zongdi.
"Look at you scared the child."
Liu Tichun seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a deep voice: "Old brother, since Your Majesty will pass through Wushan this expedition, you should ask for a hundred guns directly, so I won't provide it."
Seeing that Liu Tichun turned against him faster than reading, Yuan Zongdi quit.
"Hey Liu Erhu, we agreed that you can give me thirty guns, how can you go back on your word?"
Liu Tichun laughed and said, "Aren't you not unaware of Your Majesty coming at that time? Not to mention the bird gun, I heard that there is a new type of musket called the flintlock gun in Your Majesty. It is more powerful than the bird gun, but it is not many. If you really have the ability, you can care about Your Majesty coming."
Yuan Zongdi rolled his eyes and said, "One code is one code, you must do what you promised me. I will find another way to do it."
"Old brother, we are all poor people, can't you let me go to the big eater?"
Seeing that Liu Tichun was playing a scoundrel, Yuan Zongdi was helpless.
He knew very well the character of this old brother.
Be good at making a living, the more you get along with the hob, the more you can cheat on you.
Alas, it seems that those thirty bird guns are hopeless.
"Since that's the case, I have to go back to Dachang to prepare quickly. I can't let Your Majesty wait for me."
Although Dachang is not too far from Wushan, it will take several days to go back and forth.
The imperial navy army must have to go through the Yangtze River through Wushan, and Liu Tichun is a must-pass place. Yuan Zongdi had to go back quickly to bring the army here.
"Then I won't give it to my brother."
After saving thirty bird guns in vain, Liu Tichun said with a big mood.
Yuan Zongdi shook his head and walked away helplessly.
"Dad, the emperor really wants to fight in person?"
Liu Xingming approached and asked.
"What do you mean? You don't have any jokes, can you still regret it after you have issued the imperial edict?"
"Then Dad has to show off his good performance. He may not be able to be the king if he makes contributions to this Eastern Expedition."
There are quite a lot of kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty today.
King Li Dingguo of Jin will not talk about it, what is King Qingyang Feng Shuangli, King Gongchang Bai Wenxuan, King Yanping Zheng Chenggong
Liu Xingming thought to himself that his father is now a Duke of the State. Will he be able to become a prince if he goes further?
Everyone looked forward, and Liu Xingming did not think his father was worse than these kings of different surnames.
Liu Tichun thought that Liu Xingming wanted to say something, but it turned out that he was thinking about the king's title.
This bastard really can't pretend to be a big deal.
"Is this kind of thing the minister should miss? Do you understand it if the thunder, rain, and dew are all thunder, rain, and dew?"
Liu Xingming said with a look of shame: "Then we have to fight for Yulu, right? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your son!"
Seeing his incompetent look, Liu Tichun suddenly became angry.
It turns out that this kid hopes to inherit the throne in the future and become a prince!
"You think the title of the Ming Dynasty is a leek, so you can sign it if you say it! Our Kuidong families are not dukes or uncles now. If your father is given the title of king by Your Majesty, what should you do if you call other brothers? You might as well force Your Majesty to be the title of king?"
What Liu Tichun said was a very realistic thing.
When Yongli was crowned kings to the remaining troops of the Western Army, he was granted a vote.
King Li Dingguo of Jin, King Liu Wenxiu of Shu, King Sun Kewang of Qin, King Ainengqi of Yan'an, King Bai Wenxuan of Gongchang, King Feng Shuangli of Qingyang
If the Kuidongs were given the title of King again, the title of the Ming Dynasty would be worthless.
Besides, from the perspective of distance, closeness and distantness, the former Western Army headed by Li Dingguo is also closer to the former Shun Army, such as the Thirteen Kuidong families.
It is reasonable for the emperor to be the king of Li Dingguo and others, but to Liu Tichun and others to be the duke of the king.
It is impossible to really serve a bowl of water.
But he couldn't just tell his son these words. Otherwise, his son's big mouth would have been known to everyone?
In Liu Tichun's view, whether it is a king or a duke, they all belong to the top of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as they can help the emperor to revive the world, their family will inevitably have wealth and glory. Why bother to care about the king’s reputation?
There must be some time in your destiny, but don’t force it if you don’t have any time in your destiny.
Liu Tichun is not a person who is calculating for the death.
In the matter of being a king, he wanted to let it go, rather than threaten the emperor to issue an order.
