LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 23
23: Zhu Gaoxun’s army! Shocked group members!
“Um……”Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,”During the Chongzhen reign of Zhu Youjian, the Ming Dynasty was in a state of corruption. There were bandits roaming around and rampant inside, and Tartars were eyeing the country covetously outside. The country was already in danger.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang’s words were short, Zhu Biao heard a strong message.
But among these, internal and external troubles were not as serious as the consequences of corrupt officialdom.
The consequences of corrupt officialdom involve whether the country can function normally and whether the court can win the hearts of the people.
Although Zhu Biao often advised Zhu Yuanzhang against his harsh methods, this did not mean that he thought that all civil officials in the world were trustworthy.
On the contrary, Zhu Biao’s understanding of human nature was far beyond that of ordinary people.
He knew that in this situation, collusion between officials, gentry and even profiteers would only leave the people with no way to survive…….Eventually, the court lost the support of the people, leading to uprisings everywhere.
This process is cumulative, and the final result is almost irreversible.
“Fortunately, there is the Emperor Chat Group……”Zhu Biao pondered and said,”Otherwise, the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty will surely perish.”
“That’s right.” Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:”Not only is the administration of the Chongzhen Dynasty corrupt, but even the famous generals are still descendants of the Hongwu and previous dynasties. Zhu Youjian has almost no ability to judge people.”
“He had never received any imperial education, and was forced into doing things in a hurry. He made more and more mistakes, which led to a rapid deterioration of the situation!”
“The most ridiculous thing is that this guy actually wanted to hang himself after the bandits attacked the capital…….”
After hearing this, Zhu Biao realized how incompetent this young man named Zhu Youjian was.
He smiled bitterly and said,”He has not received any education from an emperor, but he has achieved such a level. It is not bad. And he is a man of honor for hanging himself to die for his country.”……”
“”What a brave man!” Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:”If this guy really has bravery, he should rebuild the country and revive the Ming Dynasty instead of hanging himself when he encounters a problem that he cannot solve.”
“Father, you also said that it is a difficult problem that cannot be solved.” Zhu Biao said with a smile:”His ability is limited. We can’t expect him to be able to turn the tide.”
“well……”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said,”We all know what you said, Biao’er. We are just angry at him for not fighting back.”
“In such a time of great strife, the emperor was a man who had no sense of judgment and was fickle…….Even if we can help him temporarily, we can’t help him forever.”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao’s mind was slightly moved.
Since Zhu Youjian is not useful, why not replace him with a capable one?
But this idea flashed through his mind. He didn’t understand the situation of the emperor’s chat group. He had to wait until he figured it out before making any plans.
“so……”Zhu Biao pondered and said,”It was you, my father, my fourth brother, and Zhu Gaoyi who went to Chongzhen to provide assistance?”
“That’s right.” Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:”This time when I come back, in addition to recuperating your mother’s health, the most important thing is to assist the Chongzhen Dynasty.”
“How many reinforcements?”
“Ten thousand”
“this……”Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said,”Father, you also mentioned it when you talked about the situation in the Emperor’s chat group. During the Chongzhen period, the Tartars outside the Great Wall were strong in both military and military, and even had those red cannons…….”
“Let alone 10,000, even if there are more people, this situation may not be easy to handle.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the emperor chat group earlier, he mentioned the power situation of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Let alone the Tartars have red cannons, even if they don’t, the three dynasties combined only have 30,000.
With this number, let alone a war with weapons, even a cold weapon war cannot be said to be a sure win.
“We know!” Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little discouraged,”But we still have Gao Xun, this kid promised that he can solve it, we can only believe him.”
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, how to believe it? Could it be that he could use the immortal method to kill the enemy!?
Anyway, Zhu Biao did not believe that Zhu Gao Xun had any means to reverse the situation.
The military strength was too large, and the gap was obvious. It could not be solved by some tricks.
Ma Xiuying was angry when she saw that the father and son did not think highly of Zhu Gao Xun. At this moment, her favorability towards Zhu Gao Xun increased greatly. She personally witnessed the magic of the Yibu Dan. She believed that Zhu Gao Xun should have other means.
“The fight hasn’t even started yet, and you don’t trust Gao Xun anymore.” Ma Xiuying said angrily,”Since Gao Xun has given his word, it must be true!”
“Yes, yes, sister, you are right.” Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the meal and fed her personally,”Don’t think about those things, just eat.”
While Ma Xiuying was eating, the father and son looked at each other, both of them helpless….
Three days passed in a flash.
In the Emperor chat group, the atmosphere was very lively.
【Zhu Di: Father, I have prepared 7,000 soldiers from the Shenji Camp, plus 3,000 Imperial Guards, and we will make sure that the bandits will not return!】
【Zhu Yuanzhang: Come on, you bastard, why are you showing off in front of me? No matter how powerful your Shenji Battalion is, can it be as powerful as the Tartars’ red cannon?】
【Zhu Yuanzhang: By the way, Gao Xun, you said you have absolute confidence, are you kidding! ? 】 In just two days, emperors of several dynasties have become extremely proficient in using chat groups.
After discovering that the emperor chat group can contact other group members at any time, Zhu Di was the most excited, and he was almost always in the group. He had to talk about court meetings and military assemblies, and he said almost everything that could and could not be said in the group.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Gao Xun very annoyed, and finally they had to let the single block Zhu Di, only receiving his messages but not prompting him.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Gao Xun did not reply, so he @ed Zhu Gao Xun…….
During the Tiancheng period, Zhu Gaoxun, who was gathering his soldiers, heard a”ding dong” sound beside his ear and knew that someone was @ing him.
He clicked on it and saw Zhu Yuanzhang’s words.
Zhu Gaoxun thought about it, turned on the recording function, recorded a video of the 10,000 people in front of him and threw it into the group.
The group chat, which was still in constant dialogue, suddenly became quiet.
After a while, the group was boiling.
【Zhu Di: @Tiancheng Emperor Zhu Gaoxun, Gaoxun boy, what kind of weapons are those soldiers holding? They look very strange!】
【Zhu Yuanzhang: @Tiancheng Emperor Zhu Gaoxun, why do your soldiers carry barrels and strange backpacks?】
【Zhu Youjian: Is this a flintlock rifle? It doesn’t look like one…….】
