Chapter 649 Huaihe Navy: We surrendered!
Chapter 649 Huaihe Navy: We surrendered!
In another timeline, Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, heard that Sheng Yong had been easily outmaneuvered, and his anger burned ever brighter!
Is he an idiot? How could so few people cross the river so easily? Does he really think that having a navy will allow him to defeat the Yan army?
It seems that without He Fu, Sheng Yong's strength has been greatly diminished.
I originally thought that Huang Zicheng and Li Jinglong would make people laugh, but I didn't expect there would be an idiot on his side!
At this moment, Emperor Jianwen, burning with rage, forgot about the past.
Throughout the entire Jingnan Civil War, many people still died for him or chose to remain loyal to the imperial court.
"The fact that the Yan cavalry successfully outflanked the enemy shows that Sheng Yong, who was completely unprepared, is not as good at fighting as He Fu. Moreover, it is hard to say whether his remaining troops can deal with the Yan army, which is in high spirits."
"After crossing the river, the small team advanced rapidly toward their target—the Shengyong court army—until they reached their destination and charged at the court army."
"In terms of scale, the small team sent by the Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaoxu, was outnumbered. The central army had at least tens of thousands of men, and they could probably hold out for a while. But after the initial charge, the imperial army behind them collapsed very quickly."
"Immediately afterwards, the morale of the entire army collapsed, and they all retreated. They couldn't win in a fight, so Sheng Yong immediately thought of running away. However, in such a chaotic situation, riding a horse might not be fast enough to escape, so he chose a small boat."
"Taking a few guards with him, they jumped onto a small boat and, in their desperate escape, rowed with all their might, as if they were being chased by crocodiles."
During the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin sneered, "This Sheng Yong, his escape was far too pathetic! He's almost as pathetic as Zhao Gou back in the day!"
Zhu Yunwen was equally indignant: "He can run so fast, let's just call him Sheng the Runner!"
Li Jinglong praised online, "The Prince of Yan is truly insightful, foreseeing this moment and sending the right people!"
Zhu Yunwen: That's enough, I'm still here!
Feeling quite pleased with himself, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Sigh, I didn't expect this either. My subordinates are really good; they're obedient and know how to fight!"
Upon hearing this, the other officials present thought to themselves: "If we only follow the orders of the Prince of Yan and dare to fight, we can be promoted and ennobled. This junior is too good; he takes on one task without making a sound."
Old Zhu took in their expressions. Hmph, they acted as if he, their boss, was some kind of harsh boss!
.......
"The imperial army, which had originally planned to operate both by land and water, has now shattered its dream. The Huai River Navy also did not expect that the imperial army would collapse so quickly. If you had told me earlier that you were not up to the task, I would have abandoned the Ming Dynasty and joined the Yan Dynasty."
"Of course, it's not too late now. So, the Huai River Navy, feeling hopeless, surrendered without any burden."
Huai River Navy: What are you fighting for? We're from the Yan Army!
Zhu Yunwen: Who told you to vote like that?! I'll lose face if word gets out!
"The Yan army won the Xuyi campaign without any pressure and crossed the Huai River smoothly. Upon hearing this news, the Jianwen court became anxious, as the old generals that Zhu Yuanzhang had left behind either defected to Yan or died."
"Although a little bit can still be squeezed out, it's easy to see that the pressure is entirely on the people of the Ming Dynasty. The monarch's desperate gamble is on an impossible future, but the consequences will be borne by others."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared fiercely at his eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen and said coldly, "My Great Ming Dynasty almost perished after only two generations. It was all your doing, you bastard!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled awkwardly, not daring to reply, thinking to himself: He won't have a chance to do it now.
"However, compared to Liu Bei, who was condemned as a tyrant for mobilizing the entire nation to resist the Xiongnu, or Emperor Yang of Sui, who was known for abusing the people's labor, later Jiangnan literati, when writing about Zhu Yunwen, still embellished his image!"
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: ?_?? ? ?
"In their writings, Zhu Yunwen was actually alright, with a good temper. On the contrary, the Prince of Yan had a fiery temper, reminding people of his father."
"Of course, whether it's glorifying or smearing this uncle and nephew, writers have all used their pens to criticize them, so there's no need to argue about who's right or wrong."
Zhu Di & Zhu Yunwen (disgusted with each other): Which bastard wrote this? We'll find him and give him a good beating!
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Eighth Prince of the Ming Dynasty: "......"
