Five hundred and fortieth chapters no choice
At night, the sun gradually set from the horizon to the west of Hengzhou City. Zhu Gaoxu only left the city and came to the 50,000 surrendered military camp under Wang Bin.
There were more than 100,000 more people in Hengzhou City today. The barracks left by the official army in the city were not enough to live in; there was no time for the army to arrange more houses that day. So some people camped near the schoolyard outside the city, including the surrendered soldiers captured after the Battle of Baoqing Prefecture.
These troops, generals above the Guard Commander, were replaced; but there were too many soldiers who were surrendered, and many soldiers belonged to the Beijing camp, which have not been reorganized so far.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to the military camp with his guards. Many soldiers around him stood up and looked here.
After a while, the convoy carrying pigs and sheep and wine from behind also went outside the camp. These things were things prepared by Hengzhou Chenggongya to reward the army; Zhu Gaoxu ordered some to be divided into the surrendered army camp.
Some generals from various military camps rushed over after hearing the news. After everyone greeted him, they welcomed Zhu Gaoxu into the camp gate.
"Take the wine!" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and ordered.
Everyone rode their horses to the outside of the camp gate, and a wooden cart with a wine jar also rushed over. The soldiers brought iron cups and bowls and poured wine. Seeing that there was wine, more and more soldiers were gathering around. Everyone talked more and more, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.
Zhu Gaoxu did not issue military orders, and picked up a bowl of wine in the crowd casually and said directly: "Brothers!"
"Damn!" The generals who brought the wine bowl and the cup all agreed. The sound of the wine drinking looked very sweet in the mouths of the soldiers.
Zhu Gaoxu drank first without saying a word. At this time, he put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked back and said, "You are all military households of my Ming Dynasty. Some of them were brothers (Beijing camps) who fought side by side with me during the 'Jingnan Battle'. No one was outsider, and I was also a general who led the army, so I opened my words!"
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and everyone was watching Zhu Gaoxu's attitude.
Zhu Gaoxu paused and said directly: "Brothers, don't worry, I will never be clear about the generals of the pseudo-official court! I also think everyone is wrong, let alone guilty! It's just that you obey the military orders above. Following the military orders is the duty of the generals, so what's wrong? The one who is wrong is the treacherous ministers in the capital who are greedy for power and greedy for profit!
I understand that the brothers from all camps in the capital are all in Zhili. I don’t make things difficult for everyone. They were transferred to Guizhou and Sichuan for a while. Once the "Battle of Crime" is over, you will return to the capital to reunite with your family."
Some of the generals were thinking about something, and someone quickly said, "Thank you, King Han, for your tolerance..."
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I promise to fight to the capital soon. I will not wait too long when I go home and reunite!"
There were many discussions everywhere, and the noise was buzzing. Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that the surrendered soldiers would still have doubts, so he explained seriously: "When will the Ming Dynasty have to be strong in the country, and when will the war be carried out, the brothers are really elite and innocent, and the country can use you in the future."
People echoed, and a general even shouted: "We all support the King of Han as the emperor!"
Everyone was upset. After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he pretended not to hear it. He continued to say loudly: "Brothers from military origins in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Huguang and other places, each of whom willing to join the anti-crime army will stay; if they are unwilling, the Han Palace will give the food home and report to the local garrison office.
Those who are not in the above-mentioned places will stay in the military camps first; when I occupy the place where your military is located, you will be voluntarily. The pseudo-dynasty has gone, and if you go back, you may be recruited and killed. It is better to wait first!"
A military general not far away said, "Your Highness, the brothers of the military households in the garrison are not bad, we only regret not following the King of Han to raise an army..."
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Each camp has divided the pigs, sheep, wine and water, have a good rest!"
"Thank you, King Han!" said the generals one after another.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at it. Chen Dachui quickly led the horse over. Zhu Gaoxu turned over the horse and walked out of the military camp surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
When I returned to Hengzhou City, the sun had completely set; there was still light between heaven and earth, but the light was gradually dimming.
The Huguang War ended for many days, and Zhu Gaoxu calmed down from his ecstasy at this time. In addition, there were many aftermaths after the war, he was a little busy and almost forgot to celebrate.
Before the war, he thought about finding a hundred beauties to repair the car, but he was temporarily unable to get what he wanted. Zhu Gaoxu often slept in the open air in the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, so he could only find villagers and girls, but he could not get a hundred beauties at all.
In recent days, he has even gradually become a little nervous...
We all support the King of Han as the emperor! The words of a strange warrior were recalled by Zhu Gaoxu again.
Zhu Gaoxu understood his goal more clearly: lead his army to advance to the capital as soon as possible and ascend to the throne and become emperor!
Zhu Gaoxu knew nothing about how to rule such a large territory, a population of 100 million, and how to become an emperor! He didn't really want to be an emperor before, but if he hadn't been destroyed, he would rather be a vassal king.
But now that things have come to this point and have reached this point, he has only one choice: he must be called emperor.
Whether he is willing or not, whether he is ecstatic or uneasy, he can only do that! Either rule the world or die sooner or later, there is no third way... If there is any other royal family that can be called emperor, the biggest goal is to eradicate Zhu Gaoxu; his threat is too great!
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu understood the reason for his panic: because he did not hold the throne firmly for one day, he would still be in danger for one day. He had to seize that authority quickly so that he could sleep peacefully.
As for how to stabilize the throne and govern the world in the future after having authority, he was confused. Zhu Gaoxu now doesn't believe anything about wise and sage kings and how to be kind and kind, how noble morals are.
However, after so many years of charge and the experience of setting up battles, Zhu Gaoxu still learned a lot from the war.
He felt that whenever he did a big thing, it might be similar to fighting a war... From the selection of soldiers, food and grass, and generals to wait for the early preparation, the winner was already brewing; it was definitely not the one who suddenly decided the winner at the last moment of the battle.
The matter was not done well at the beginning, and when the defeat on the battlefield appeared, almost all the coaches were powerless and could only watch things fall into the abyss.
