Chapter 413 Pray for the Father, Attack!

The main hall of the imperial palace.

The great scholar Song Lian is giving a lecture in front.

Qihuan and Zhu Yuxiu are sitting side by side near the door.

Zhu Yuxiu pretends to read a book seriously while curiously observing Qihuan with her peripheral vision.

She wonders, ‘What’s wrong with Zhu Qihuan? ’

Zhu Qihuan was not like this before.

She always listens carefully in class.

Once the teacher says the get out of class is over, she will be the first to run out of the classroom, like a little lunatic, without any etiquette of a royal lady, playing wildly outside.

At first, the teachers in the main hall wanted to teach Zhu Qihuan a lesson.

Some teachers would test the content of the class.

Zhu Qihuan always answered.

Mr. Song Lian praised Zhu Qihuan for being able to concentrate on studying and to have fun when playing, which was great!

There were also a few teachers who wanted to punish Zhu Qihuan.

But she was protected by her eldest brother.

The teacher reported to the emperor’s grandfather.

It is said that the grandfather said: As long as our granddaughter studies hard in class, you should not interfere outside of class!

Let those teachers who want to find faults have a good meal.

In the end, Zhu Qihuan became the most special one in the hall.

...

But in class today.

It would be fine if Zhu Qihuan didn't listen carefully.

She even secretly copied Buddhist scriptures.

Is the fourth uncle's most precious little cotton-padded jacket going to become a nun?

Moreover, Zhu Qihuan's face is not right.

Very pale.

Her eyes are slightly red.

What happened?

Zhu Yuxiu saw Song Lian holding a book, shaking his head and walking past him, and walked to the back. He immediately leaned in front of Qihuan, gently touched Qihuan's elbow with his elbow, and whispered: "Sister, why are you copying Buddhist scriptures? Are you going to go to a nunnery to become a nun when you grow up?"

Qihuan's hand trembled slightly when she was touched.

A drop of ink from the brush tip dripped onto the half-written words, dissolving instantly and smearing the words.

"Zhu Yuxiu, what are you doing!"

The angry voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned, and the next second, they looked in the direction of the voice...

Little Qihua stood up, her small body swaying slightly, her face pale, her eyes red, and filled with tears, "Zhu Yuxiu, you compensate me for the Buddhist scriptures! You compensate me for the Buddhist scriptures!"

Zhu Yuxiu was startled.

All the princes, princesses, and grandchildren in the classroom were frightened.

Qihua has a carefree personality.

It's not that there is no noise when a group of children get along.

But Qihua has been an optimist since she came back.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Qihua in astonishment, grabbing Zhu Yuxiu's collar, with red eyes and tears, shouting "compensate for my Buddhist scriptures".

'Is this crazy girl crazy? '

Snap!

Song Lian came back to his senses, slammed the ruler on the edge of Zhu Quan's desk, and shouted angrily: "Zhu Qihuan!"

"Little sister."

Yong Ming hurriedly ran to Qihuan.

Xiong Ying followed closely behind.

Others also stood up.

"Little Qihuan, what's wrong? If you have any grievances, tell your big brother."

...

Little Qihuan turned and looked at Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yongming, "Big brother, brother, I, I copied the Buddhist scriptures for my father, was, was..."

Before she finished speaking, Qihuan's face suddenly turned red, her body swayed, and she fell to the side.

Yong Ming and Xiong Ying quickly grabbed her.

Yong Ming turned around and was about to carry Qihuan, but was stopped by Xiong Ying, "Big brother, come!"

While speaking, he grabbed Qihuan's hand and his face changed.

It's so hot!

Then, he picked up Qi Huan and ran out, shouting, "Quick! Call the imperial physician!"

...

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang was also alarmed.

Inside Kunning Palace.

In the small bedroom that Ma Xiuying had specially vacated for Qi Huan, a group of people crowded in.

Other concubines in the harem rushed over after hearing the noise.

"What's wrong!"

"What's wrong with Qi Huan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry, and he didn't even bother to lift up the heels of his shoes. He rushed in hurriedly, stepping on the heels of his shoes.

Everyone made way for a passage.

In front of Qi Huan's bed.

Ma Xiuying, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Yongming looked at the unconscious Qi Huan, who was being diagnosed by the imperial physician, nervously and worriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang approached and came to Ma Xiuying with care. Seeing the little Qihuan with red face and pale lips, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He glanced coldly at the people standing not far away and whispered, "What's wrong? Who bullied Qihuan?"

Who harmed Qihuan!

He wants to kill all ten clans!

There is no news about the fourth brother, and someone dares to take advantage of Qihuan and Yongming?

Instantly, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with murderous intent.

Ma Xiuying felt it, raised her hand, and handed a stack of manuscripts in her hand to Zhu Yuanzhang, "This was found in the bedroom of little Qihuan. The maid reported that little Qihuan did not sleep last night. The maid wanted to come in to check, but was strictly stopped by little Qihuan..."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the manuscript.

On it, there were small characters written very seriously.

It was the Diamond Sutra.

He used to be a monk.

He learned to read in the temple.

So it can be seen at a glance that this is a Diamond Sutra.

"Before Xiao Qihuan fainted, she cried and said that she copied this for Silang. The little girl should have copied the Diamond Sutra to pray for Silang..."

The cold air surrounding Zhu Yuanzhang dissipated a little.

After a quick look at the Diamond Sutra without a single typo or correction, his eyes shifted to Xiao Qihuan.

There were no typos or corrections.

It can be seen how serious and pious Xiao Qihuan was when copying.

Did she copy all night last night?

Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved and distressed while thinking.

The imperial physician stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stared and asked: "What happened to our little Qihua!"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered: "Your Majesty, the little princess has been worried too much. At such a young age and staying up late, the evil cold invaded the body. It was discovered in time and there is no serious problem. I will prescribe a cure for the evil for the little princess. A comprehensive prescription to relieve cold and relieve stagnation will be effective. Before using the medicine, I will give the little princess acupuncture to wake her up from her coma..."

"Hurry up and get ready!" Zhu Yuanzhang urged the imperial doctor before he finished speaking.

The concubines in the harem all breathed a sigh of relief.

The way His Majesty looked at them just now was so terrifying!

It seems that as long as they doubt them, they will kill!

After Xiao Qihua's acupuncture, a trace of blood gradually appeared on her pale and bloodless lips, and she faintly woke up.

"Xiao Qihua."

Ma Xiuying sat down by the bed and touched the little girl's forehead lovingly.

What a sensible little cotton-padded jacket.

He was so young that he actually copied the Diamond Sutra and prayed for the fourth child.

Filial piety!

The fourth child's pain was not in vain.

Ma Xiuying asked softly and kindly: "Tell Grandma Huang, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and waved.

The concubines, princes and daughters of the harem were dismissed.

"Royal Grandmother!"

Little Qihua hugged Ma Xiuying and choked up: "Qihua had a nightmare last night, dreaming that her father was covered in blood..."

Xiao Qihua was choking while telling the story.

Everyone finally understood.

Xiao Qihua dreamed that her father was covered in blood.

When Zhu Di went out before, Xu Miaoyun copied the Diamond Sutra and prayed for Zhu Di. The little guy noticed it since he was a child.

This time I dreamed that Zhu Di was covered in blood and woke up from the nightmare.

Just make a promise quietly.

I have to copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times in order for my father to come back safely.

Last night, I started copying.

"Royal Grandma, Qihua only copied the scriptures five times and defiled the scriptures. Does it mean that the promise has no effect? ​​Will the gods and Buddhas still punish Dad?"

Ma Xiuying felt the back of her hand was cold. When she saw little Qihua crying, she hurriedly comforted her: "No, sincerity is what matters. Our little Qihua's sincerity has been seen by the gods and Buddhas."

"Really?" Xiao Qihua looked up with tears on her face.

"Really!" Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly nodded and said domineeringly: "The Emperor's Grandfather is the Supreme Being! Even gods and Buddhas have to give three cents of face, the Emperor's Grandfather told them!"

"Sister, my mother said that dreams are reverses. If you dream of nightmares, something good will happen."

puff!

Yong called out "Sister", and Xiao Qihua was immediately amused.

…

The storm finally subsided.

Yong Ming stayed to take care of Qihua.

Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the dormitory.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned the detailed story of Dabentang from Xiongying's mouth.

Nodding, "That girl Yuxiu must be frightened. She can be regarded as meritorious in this matter."

If this girl hadn't messed up Xiao Qihua's copying of the Diamond Sutra.

Let Xiao Qihua have a seizure.

Then he fell into a coma.

Xiao Qihua may have to wait until how long in order to finish copying the Diamond Sutra a hundred times!

"You go back to the East Palace and go to the Beauty Palace on behalf of your grandfather to give a few words of encouragement to Yuxiu."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and suggested: "Grandpa, Xiao Qihua is fine, so don't alarm the fourth aunt. There has been no news from the fourth uncle for so long, and the fourth aunt must be worried too. If we alarm the fourth aunt again..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with joy and nodded, "Okay, we will listen to Xiongying on this matter."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and turned around, "Grandfather, my fourth uncle will be fine, right?"

"No! Definitely not!" Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly, with deep worry flashing in his eyes.

…

News that Qihua is ill.

Soon it was spread to six departments.

"Have you heard that Zhu Qihua is sick?"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know! I just know that even His Majesty was alarmed, and His Majesty issued a hush order to everyone present, so I don't know exactly what happened."

"Zhu Silang has done all the bad things, is this retribution coming to the child?"

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

…

Zhu Di was surrounded by Lin Waicheng.

There was a lot of commotion in the palace and Jinling, and all kinds of news spread randomly.

Horqin's right front flag.

The middle section of Daxinganling.

Zhu Biao's main force, the three armies of the left, middle and right, met here.

The western foothills of Daxinganling.

The tents are one after another.

In the handsome tent.

Zhu Biao sat on the commander's seat, surrounded by generals.

Hu Weiyong is making a report.

…

"To sum up, after advancing with great successes, our troops from Zhang Bei had a total strength of 370,000 before setting off, and a total of 90,000 cavalry and infantry were deployed at supply points along the rear. In continuous battles, we lost 50,000, and were not acclimated to the climate. More than 10,000 people were reduced due to illness. Among them, the New Army in the four towns was taken advantage of by the Yuan army due to weather conditions. They lost a total of ten artillery pieces and 9,000 soldiers..."

"Today, the total strength of our troops arriving here is approximately 220,000."

"We are only six days away from Yuerhai!"

After saying that, Hu Weiyong closed the folding paper.

The vague pride in his eyes flashed away, and he looked at everyone.

After making suggestions along the way, he helped the middle army commanded by the prince to win consecutive battles.

He has been trusted by the prince and has been appointed to join the army and serve as a military advisor!

As long as he assists the prince and destroys the Fishing Sea King's Court, he will be able to gain a firm foothold by the prince's side!

I cannot be an official or hold power for the time being.

But the person who will become the prince is already certain.

Bang bang bang...

Roaring applause broke out immediately.

"Prince, we have rested for three days and can fight again."

"The last general invites you to fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

…

The generals stood up excitedly and asked for battle.

Victory is at hand.

After being pushed and crushed all the way, all it took was one last shudder.

Tang He frowned slightly and looked at the generals.

He knew very well that some of them wanted to capture Yuerhai before Lao Si captured He Lin.

in this way.

In the face of the main force's brilliant victory.

Lao Si's achievements in capturing He Lin will be eclipsed.

But this kind of arrogant atmosphere is unacceptable!

"Let the soldiers rest for another day or two." Zhu Biao spoke directly and rejected the generals' proposal.

He has conducted in-depth interviews every day over the past few days regarding the situation of the soldiers.

It was clear that after several months of fighting, the soldiers were tired.

Especially since the beginning of spring, after continuous rain and strong winds, many soldiers have developed symptoms of dysentery and fever due to acclimatization and had to withdraw from the battle order.

The number of staff reductions in this department alone is as high as 10,000!

Get enough rest before attacking the fishing sea.

At the same time, Lao Si also said that the closer the decisive battle is, the more pressure must be placed on the soldiers.

The tiger is trapped in a cage, and when he suddenly opens the cage, his momentum is instantly released, and his fighting power becomes stronger.

The generals sat down angrily.

Tang He looked at Zhu Biao and nodded imperceptibly.

…

Zhu Biao turned to look at Ji Gang, "Ji Gang, is there no news about King Yan's partial army?"

Everyone looked at Ji Gang.

Ji Gang stood up, shook his head and said: "Prince, we have not received any news about King Yan's partial army yet. However, the commander has personally led the Jin Yi Guards to go out to the Three Gorges mouth to search for traces of King Yan's partial army. I believe there will be news soon. "

Many people breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

He secretly cursed, ‘It would be great if something happened to Zhu Silang! ’

…

After the military meeting ended.

Zhu Biao left Tang He, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and Fu Youde alone.

Worried: "Lao Si has been away from home all the way. There has been no news for such a long time. Is something going to happen?"

"Impossible!" Lan Yu smiled and shook her head: "Everyone knows King Yan's ability to lead troops. I don't think anything will happen to King Yan."

Tang and others also nodded with smiles.

Only then did Zhu Biao smile, "This will make me feel at ease. I will rest for two more days and after capturing the fishing sea, I will immediately send troops to Mongolia to cooperate with Laosi to conquer Helin!"

…

Ahead, fifty miles away from Zhu Biao's camp.

In the tent of Gusi Timur's march.

It's also very lively.

"The new army of the Ming Dynasty will be completely blind as long as it is windy or rainy, but that's all!"

"We consumed at least 50,000 to 60,000 Ming troops along the way. We had sneak attacks on the Ming Dynasty's new troops in the capital. The cavalry rushed into formation and killed at least 4 to 5,000 Ming Dynasty's new troops in one battle!"

"According to past rules, when we enter July, there will be the most windy and rainy days in the Yu'erhai generation. In this battle, the God of Immortality will favor us!"

…

Togu Si Timur allowed the generals to discuss.

After a moment, he raised his hand and pressed it.

The voice gradually died down.

Tuogusi Timur looked at Zhang Yu.

This is an unstable card.

It should also be typed out.

If you let him stay with you.

Once Zhang Yu really betrays Bei Yuan during the encirclement and suppression of the Ming Prince, the blow to them will be fatal!

"Zhang Yu!"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, "The general is here!"

"Zhang Yu, next, your troops will hide in the Daxingan Mountains. After the main force of the Ming Prince has passed and received the order from this Khan, I will cut off the Ming Prince's retreat and force the Ming Prince to send troops back for reinforcements..."

In this way, he can test whether Zhang Yu is loyal to Bei Yuan.

It doesn't matter if you are not loyal to Bei Yuan.

When he gave Zhang Yu an order.

It must be the main force of Zhu Biao, the Ming Prince, approaching the fishing sea.

At this time, even if Zhang Yu wanted to reinforce Prince Ming, it was too late.

"We will have a decisive battle with the Ming Prince Zhu Biao at the Yuyuer Sea. Your main task is to cut off the Ming Dynasty's supply lines and not allow a grain of rice to be sent to the Ming army. In addition, you are not allowed to approach Yuyuer without the order of this Khan. Hai, if you disobey this Khan’s order, it will be a conspiracy!”

Zhang Yu's eyes raised slightly.

Not daring to think too much, he loudly accepted the order: "I will obey my order!"

…

After the military meeting ended.

Zhang Yu took Zhang Qu and Zheng Shilong out of the sweat tent and led the troops out of the camp.

Zhang Yu, riding on horseback, turned to look at the sweat camp, his brows furrowed.

Zhang Qu whispered: "General, why do I feel strange? The closer we get to Yuerhai, the more excited Togu Si Timur, Arutai and others become."

"Don't tell me, I feel the same way. Why do they think that with 300,000 Ming troops versus 200,000 Ming troops, they can win? Everyone can see the Ming army's combat effectiveness along the way!" Zheng Shilong touched With a big bald head.

Zhang Yu shook his head.

In fact, he felt this way too.

I can’t figure out where the confidence of Togu Si Timur and others came from.

But one thing is for sure.

Thugus Timur did not trust him.

Send him out before the war comes.

He is not allowed to get close to Yuerhai.

Once he gets close, he will be conspiring against him, and the Yuan army near Yuerhai can attack him!

"Let's go. No matter what, we are safe. We'll see what happens."

What plan Togu Si Timur has is about to be exposed.

Prince Zhu Biao has 200,000 elites on his side, so it is impossible to defeat him, right?

Instead, he was more worried about the fourth child.

…

He Lin!

Dong dong dong...

Woo woo woo...

In the afternoon, the sound of war drums and horns continued.

Zhu Di, accompanied by Tan Yuan and others, was inspecting the city defense.

The passage leading to the inner city, which was bombed into a deep pit, a section of the outer city.

The soldiers had urgently used the sacks of military rations to take soil and build a section of fortifications.

Sending one team was enough to guard the passage.

"Prince, the brothers, according to your request, all the sacks are filled with soil for fortifications. All the passages from the south city to the inner city are blocked, and the remaining sacks are arranged on the east and west sides..."

Zhu Di listened and watched, nodding from time to time.

After Tan Yuan finished speaking, he asked, "How many artillery pieces of the Yuan army were knocked out during the artillery exchange at noon?"

Tan Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not many, only five artillery pieces of the enemy were knocked out. The city garrison commander Hai Tong immediately ordered to hide the artillery pieces urgently. They should be behind the parapet, but we don't have many bullets to carry, so we can't bombard the inner city parapet piece by piece."

Zhu Di nodded.

The projectiles of artillery pieces are different from those of muskets.

They are big and heavy.

In order to be fast in the raid, not many were carried.

One base number is fifteen.

In order to capture the outer city last night, more than one base number had been fired.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and ordered, "Send a message to the artillery camp, and don't waste the artillery pieces. Their main task is to keep an eye on the Yuan army's artillery pieces. Once the Yuan army's artillery pieces sound, knock them out as quickly as possible!"

The inner and outer walls are about a hundred steps apart.

At this distance, the Yuan army's artillery pieces are too threatening to them.

…

Wow…

Zhu Di, along with Tan Yuan and others, had just returned to the city gate.

Urgent horns sounded simultaneously inside and outside the city.

Everyone understood that the real attack had begun. Now, everyone had to hold on to the city walls until the main force arrived!

Asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

I will finish writing the two chapters of Attacking Helin tomorrow.
