The troops and horses led by Bai Wenxuan were indeed very strong. Even after two years of fighting, the number of troops was greatly reduced due to injuries and other reasons. When he finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, more than 400 officials and 4,000 soldiers surrendered with him.
There are more than 3,260 horses and 12 war elephants.
It's a pity that Li Dingguo can't lead his troops to the meeting. He is the most powerful general in Zhu Yongxing's heart, enough to defeat Zhang Yong. As for what kind of tactics to use, Zhu Yongxing did not consider it in detail. After all, his professional expertise is not military, and he is not interested in historical records.
It is normal for famous generals to have admiration or fear. What's more, in today's war where hot and cold weapons are mixed, he dare not try to do what he wants.
Facing the famous Qing general Zhang Yong, Zhu Yongxing adopted the most error-prone tactics based on danger, fortified the stronghold, and fought stupidly. He also relied more on his familiarity and understanding of similar historical events, and placed his hope in the rainy season.
The arrival of the Qing army made the Qing army retreat in the face of difficulties. As for retreating to Tengchong, luring the enemy deep, and then using their own tricks to defeat the enemy, it was obviously a last resort, and whether it could succeed was still in doubt.
Perhaps Bai Wenxuan's arrival with his troops would be the decisive factor for the smooth implementation of the plan. Zhu Yongxing recovered his thoughts and smiled as he greeted several Ming generals and ministers who had dismounted from their saddles and hurried over.
"The general will wait to see His Highness who is staying behind."
Bai Wenxuan had met the original Crown Prince Min several times, and the impression was there, but not very deep. After all, Crown Prince Min had no real power and was not an outstanding figure. But after all, Zhu Yongxing was a royal relative of the clan, and now he had a left-behind son.
His name is equivalent to the representative of the emperor and the court. Even if Bai Wenxuan is newly promoted as a prince, he must be somewhat respectful in attitude. Moreover, the incense case is right in front of him, which makes it clear that Zhu Yongxing wants to perform the responsibilities of an angel.
"Your Highness Gong is polite." Zhu Yongxing nodded politely, and did not immediately go to help Bai Wenxuan. Instead, he took out the forged edict, walked to the incense table in two steps, and read aloud: "Bai Wenxuan accepts the order!"
Bai Wenxuan lifted up his official robe and knelt down to Zhu Yongxing in front of everyone and bowed: "I am here."
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict:...Bai Wen selects people who are loyal to the emperor and have the courage to serve the country. He is specially promoted to be the king of Zhao...I admire this!"
Bai Wenxuan bowed his head and said: "Blessings to Tianan, long live, long live, long live."
"Sacred peace."
After hearing this, Bai Wenxuan stood up and knelt straight, paused for a second and then kowtowed again: "Thank you for your grace, long live, long live, long live."
"God's grace is mighty."
Repeating the movements of kneeling up and prostrating once again, Bai Wenxuan bowed his head and responded to the order: "Yongfu resigned, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Yi Li Nai Cheng."
After the third cry of long live the mountain, Bai Wenxuan finally completed the whole process of receiving the edict. When he stood up, Zhu Yongxing stepped forward and held the edict in front of Bai Wenxuan with both hands. He smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness Zhao."
.”
"Thank you, Your Highness Min." Bai Wenxuan was promoted to a prince. He was happy in his heart and felt more cordial towards Zhu Yongxing. He bowed and thanked him: "I will obey the order and only stay behind to watch."
Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to help Bai Wenxuan, then glanced at the ministers beside him, and said loudly with a smile: "My dear ministers, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and turmoil shows loyalty. I can see so many loyal ministers and generals today, it can be seen that Ming Zuo
It is not over yet, but there is hope for ZTE. I am very relieved and very happy."
"His Royal Highness stayed behind to report the decree to enter Yunnan, so that the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty will not fall, and the name of the anti-Qing Dynasty will be preserved. This is really a wise thing for the emperor and a blessing for the country." Bai Wenxuan saw that Zhu Yongxing had a friendly attitude and appropriate words. He couldn't help feeling secretly and complimented him first.
One sentence, but it also includes praise for Yongli.
Zhu Yongxing smiled indifferently, cupped his hands towards the south, and echoed: "The emperor is wise and has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. I dare not not do my best to repay the emperor's kindness."
"His Royal Highness led the army to fight against the Qing army and won consecutive victories, which is admirable." Bai Wenxuan felt that the polite words were enough, so he began to ask about the war, "I don't know what the current situation is. Although our army is exhausted, it can still come to help in the battle.
.”
Zhu Yongxing looked pleased, stretched out his hand to indicate, and led everyone to a nearby camp. The place he chose to meet Bai Wenxuan was at the horse station at the southern foot of Gaoligong Mountain, which is also an important place leading to Tengchong. With Zhang
The Qing army led by Yong Yong faced off. Before finalizing the battle strategy with Bai Wenxuan, he did not dare to stray far from the defensive position on the front line. This was made into a defensive point and was guarded by Dingshuo General Wu Sansheng and his troops.
Bai Wenxuan and others in Tengchong had heard Wu Zisheng and others describe what Zhu Yongxing had done before and after he entered Yunnan, and of course they had exaggerated praise. In addition to their astonishment and admiration, they also had a strong curiosity to see this man who was said to have been granted divine power.
What does the reborn royal family look like?
Zhu Yongxing looks very similar to the late Prince Min, and after such a long period of running-in and recognition, he is no longer as timid as he was at the beginning. Not only is his speech and behavior natural and appropriate, but he also exudes confidence and dignity. In addition,
He was wearing a military uniform, his face was weathered, and even the small scar on his cheek was not only innocuous, but actually showed a bit of heroism.
Is it really Ming Zuo and God's favor that led to the emergence of a royal family member like His Highness Min who seemed to be quite upbeat? Almost everyone has raised such questions, but it is better to have hope than to be disappointed, the Emperor.
The fact that the Ming clan could personally lead the soldiers to fight on the battlefield was enough to impress these civil servants and generals.
In times of crisis, the spirit plays an even more decisive role. If the spirit is broken, even if there are elite soldiers and generals, they will have no fighting spirit; if hope still exists, they can overcome difficulties and persevere. The emperor abandoned the country and was disappointed at home and abroad. Zhu Yongxing was able to respond at the right time.
It will undoubtedly become the hope for many people to realize the great cause of ZTE.
If people have such hope in their hearts, they will naturally think about it, and the affirmation will continue to strengthen in their hearts. Even if Zhu Yongxing did not perform any outstanding deeds, people would still be willing to go to Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty as a clan member.
Place your hopes on him. After all, in the minds of the people at that time, the Ming Dynasty, the country and the royal surname Zhu were inseparable.
Precisely because people still adhere to this feudal concept of family and world, Zhu Yongxing, a royal relative of the clan with a left-behind status, is more attractive than King Li Jin, who has great military exploits and is famous far and wide.
