Chapter 609 Wind Magic Instructor

"It can be said that Prince Yan Zhu Di was in a desperate situation. He kept withdrawing troops, and the soldiers in his army were fighting desperately in the front, rear, left and right. They were also constantly being attacked. The appearance of Qu Neng and his son meant that the front and rear armies of the Yan army were on the verge of collapse."

"At this moment, Qu Neng and his son attacked together. Having served in the army since childhood and possessing rich combat experience, and being father and son, their teamwork was impeccable. The group surrounded Zhu Di and began to beat him up."

The "Records of the Pacification of Fengtian" further describes how Qu Neng and his son were brave and skilled in battle, driving Zhu Di into a desperate situation where he had no weapons or horses and was almost about to meet his father.

"But at the critical moment, Zhu Di's second son, Zhu Gaoxu, appeared before his father as if by divine intervention."

Zhu Di said, "Who doesn't have a son? His son Gao Xu is incredibly tough and skilled in fighting!"

During the Yongle era, Zhu Gaochi was utterly bewildered. Who gave him the nickname "Golden Bean"?

Zhu Gaosui, somewhat gloating, leaned close to his second brother with a grin and said, "Oh, second brother, who gave you this name? It's so funny!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaochi with disdain and said, "Big brother is called Zhu Pangpang, and I'm called Jin Douzi. Third brother, guess what your name is?!"

Zhu Gaosui: !!!

……

"Remember this Zhu Gaoxu. Although he also has a good nephew, he is also very brave in battle. His eldest son led thousands of elite cavalry to heroically rescue his father!"

Judy: ??(ツ)? My big son is riding on a colorful cloud, coming to wreak havoc!

"Looking back at the overall battle line, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi's combined forces numbered only a few thousand elite cavalry. Every other defensive line was under attack from the opposing generals. In other words, Zhu Di's success or failure could very well hinge on this one battle."

"Therefore, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu joined forces to break out from the left flank and rear of Ping An and Wu Jie, and then they circled around and set fire to the rear of the government army commander Li Jinglong."

"That's right, it's a fire attack. After all, we can't outnumber them. A regular plan might not be as effective as using fire. It's better to be lucky than good. A gust of wind blew by, and the fire instantly became fierce. Because of this wind, Zhu Di was jokingly called the 'Wind Magic Master'."

"During this period, the evil wind had a follow-up effect, which was that it broke Li Jinglong's command flag, and as a result, the hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed."

"But that's not scientific. Li Jinglong's banner was still some distance from Zhu Di's. The enemy and our side together had hundreds of thousands of men, and they were locked in fierce fighting. The probability of other people noticing it was actually very low."

Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Is it possible that he could have won even without this evil wind?

"Therefore, Zhu Di's success was definitely not what many later accounts say, because this strange wind was by no means the far-fetched idea that the military generals and nobles of the early Ming Dynasty collectively let the country go, but rather the reason that Zhu Yunwen heavily relied on scholars."

"Because these military officers and nobles fought for the court and Jianwen during the Jingnan Campaign, they fought to the last moment. Many of the military officers left behind by Zhu Yuanzhang showed their loyalty with their deaths. No one held back; they fought to the death!"

In another timeline during the Hongwu era, as Lin Ke's voice faded, the silence of the crowd was deafening.

What the hell! Giving up the water! That's ridiculous! If everyone had really sided with the Prince of Yan, would the Jingnan Campaign have taken four years?!

What kind of historical materials could lead later generations to have such a mistaken understanding?
