Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 348
Zhu Su can be so confident because he never thought that the confrontation between Mongolian and Han in the Yuan army has reached such a sharp point.

Even in the prisoner camps of the Ming army, when the Ming army clearly favored the prisoners of Chinese origin, the Mongolian generals still dared to boss around the Han soldiers and plundered them at every turn.

What about normal times?Are the Mongols more arrogant and domineering in the face of Han soldiers and Han people?
The solidification of class will inevitably lead to oppression and humiliation.From the time of the founding of the country, from the time when the four ethnic classes of Mongols, Semu people, Han people, and Nan people were established, the Yuan Dynasty has already planted a pile of gunpowder under the foundation of its own rule that may explode at any time.After all, oppression will inevitably lead to resistance, and this kind of resistance from the people at the bottom is often earth-shattering and absolutely difficult to extinguish.

The "Southern people" who were set as the lowest class by the Yuan Dynasty have now successfully resisted, established the Ming Dynasty, and expelled the Great Yuan Temple and Sheji from the Great Wall.And the "Southern people" who used to be at the bottom, but now they are the "Han people" who are at the bottom of the oppression, how much dissatisfaction have they accumulated towards the Mongols?

Historically, because Naha led his troops to surrender, the dissatisfaction of these Han people was brought into the Ming Dynasty before their dissatisfaction broke out.And now in this timeline, Zhu Su is looking forward to whether the seed he planted in advance can bring unexpected harvest to Daming.

The oppression in the prisoner camp disappeared temporarily. Because of Chang Mao's suppression, the conflict between the Han and the Mongols did not break out again as before.The two groups of people are repairing the city wall of Changli County in peace for the time being, as if the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.But anyone could see the unusual aura of tension between the two groups.

One after another, refugees from all over the world heard that there was a group of Ming troops stationed in Changli County, and they brought their families with them to seek refuge.Zhu Su did not refuse anyone who came, and resettled all these refugees in the county.

"Fifth brother, I can't take in any more refugees." It was the fourth brother Zhu Di who spoke. These days, Zhu Di has been responsible for appeasing the morale of the army and boosting morale. "Now there are more and more refugees in the city looking for their names, and the military rations I have allocated far exceed the amount consumed by the army itself."

The number of refugees who have come to seek refuge in the past few days is unusually large. It is obvious that someone deliberately drove the refugees to the vicinity of Changli County.Who can do this, except for Naha who is stationed near Yongping Mansion as the main force?Deliberately driving the people away was an almost instinctive tactic used by the nomads to deal with the Central Plains regime.

Guo Xing, who was stationed in the Jianchang camp, responded by closing the camp and refusing to help the refugees.Although it sounds immoral, it is the most appropriate way to face such tactics.

"It's obvious that it's Naha's plan to consume our Ming army's rations. If this continues, before General Zhang He can bring food and grass from the sea, I'm afraid I will run out of rations first, and the army's morale will be broken." Zhu Di was a little anxious He patted the armrest of the chair, "Fifth brother, brother knows that you have a heart of benevolence and love for the people. But, don't be too benevolent as a woman!"

"If there is no food in our army, how will the soldiers fight the enemy bravely? When the city is broken, the people will still be the same, and will end up being slaughtered?"

"Fourth brother, do you think that Naha has played such tricks, does it mean that he is going to send troops to attack us?" Zhu Su touched his chin and answered the wrong question.

Zhu Di was stunned, and had no choice but to follow Zhu Su's words: "Yes. Now the banner of our three brothers has been floating in Changli County for so many days, and Naha's sentry should have discovered it long ago."

"Guoxing and Yongping Mansion's troops are scarce after all. Although they are restrained by them, the ability of Naha to send a partial division to attack us is still there."

"Now that his way out is cut off, he urgently needs to open a new way out. Then he will probably choose to take our brothers."

"That's all right." Zhu Su closed the folding fan in his hand, and smiled at Zhu Di: "We are short of food, and Naha must be even more short of food. He has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he will certainly not be able to rely on looting alone." Obtain enough food and grass to support the army. Now, they are just sitting and eating."

"Although we consume a lot of food, it must be no more than the more than [-] troops sent by Naha. It should be Naha who is in a hurry, not us. Before their army rations are exhausted, Naha and us will have a battle .”

"Needless to say that we lost, but if we can win, Naha, who has no chance of winning, must withdraw from the encirclement and flee far away. By then, the extra rations in his hands will be useless. Why don't we use it to help a few more people at this moment?" people."

"And." Zhu Su patted the folding fan in his hand. "Here, there are other ways to get food."

"You mean, Jieliang..." Zhu Di was stunned, dumbfounded by his brother's bold idea.

That is an army of more than [-], and my brothers actually want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

While Zhu Di was shocked, he also trembled with excitement.

Just as he was about to ask, Di Meng hurried in from outside. When he saw Zhu Su, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, Fourth Highness. There is an urgent military situation."

"A division of 5 people from the Naha Station came to attack us. Now, we have reached twenty miles to the north of the city!"

"Oh, say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here." Zhu Su stood up, "Fourth brother, shall we go and see?"

"Let's go!" Hearing that the battle was coming, Zhu Di became excited. Seeing Zhu Su's invitation, he immediately stood up and rushed to the north wall with Zhu Su.

Outside the city wall to the north, the sky was filled with smoke and dust, and the sky was covered by flags.Zhu Su put down the binoculars in front of him, and asked Di Meng, "Have you found out who is leading this army?"

"Lieutenant Shao has sent people to find out that the leading general is Naha's confidant, Pingzhang Guantong." Di Meng said.

"Guan Tong..." This is a name that Zhu Su has heard about. In history, when Naha led the troops to surrender, it was Guan Tong who was frightened by the Ming army gathered at the border and took the lead in defecting to the Ming army. .Moreover, this Guan Tong later became the leading party of the Ming army, leading Lan Yu's troops all the way across the desert and the vast sea, and successfully entered the royal court of Mobei.

"A general with a weak will..." Zhu Su made a conclusion for this confidant of Naha's subordinate in his heart.Since he is a general with a weak will, as long as his confidence is defeated, his [-] army will naturally be defeated.

"Old Wu, do you already have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Looking at the 5-yuan army in the dark, the soldiers of the Ming army in the city were not battle-hardened men after all, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. stand up.Seeing the confident look on his brother's face, Zhu Xi was overjoyed and asked immediately.

"Trick?" Zhu Su smiled deliberately. "There are only a few yuan troops in the area, what kind of strategy do we need? It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block them, and water to cover them."

"Second brother, don't worry, our army has more than [-] people, and we have a city wall to rely on, so we won't be captured by these Yuan troops so easily." He turned his head and said loudly to the surrounding soldiers on purpose: " Come, prepare tea! The three of my brothers will sit on the top of this city tower and watch the kings repel the invading enemies for my great Ming!"
