onto the nearest large carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Ming army was accustomed to bringing large carts for field battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were just enough carts available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu knew the terrain of Liaodong well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was different from the Han lands of the Central Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The north naturally had little water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Liaoxi Corridor bordered the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how they attacked with water, it could never achieve the terrifying effects seen in the Central Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, these river waters would rush into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just five or six hours after all the Ming soldiers had climbed onto the large carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water at their feet began to show signs of receding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this

wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after the water receded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu immediately ordered each unit to gather firewood and build fires nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the great flood had struck, nearly everyone's clothes had been soaked through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These imperial clansmen, accustomed to lives of luxury, soon began to shiver uncontrollably in the cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this was not the most terrifying part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the flood, the entire Liaoxi Corridor sank into a quagmire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mud mixed with ice shards froze the Ming army's large carts firmly in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the camps, war horses froze to death almost every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ice gradually thickening on the wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Youjian had entrusted to him was now complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a battle that cannot be won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the distant foothills, the shouts of the Jurchens driving their warhorses could already be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the wind to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the ice on the road to grow thicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that their warhorses might run more freely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in another spacetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, his hair standing on end in fury, was glaring at the assembled generals of Great Ming and unleashing his thunderous rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still no solution?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do I keep you all for?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you not even devise a way to preserve the division?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, every time Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang read the summaries from Fu Kong Youde and the others, his blood pressure soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to preserve the division was not to fight this battle at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best possible outcome would be a few thousand returning alive, and that only if Lan Yu were possessed by the spirit of a god of war...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventy-four: If the Han do not know shame, they are invincible once they do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the officials before him, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time since Zhu Biao's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no fault to be found in the Zhu family protecting the Zhu family's realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang feared most was that his own children and grandchildren would fight until they nearly wiped out his entire lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morale of Great Ming's army had still collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realm of Great Ming had still perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the futile death of the Zhu descendants that enraged Old Zhu the most!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at these silent officials before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of Su Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of the composure Su Qiao had displayed when being thrown into the Imperial Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this lad truly not fear death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did this lad know the method to defeat the enemy and was deliberately concealing it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang immediately grew suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong with Su Qiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because of this crime of Su Qiao's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted it far too readily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the hearts of Fu Kong Youde and the others before him suddenly skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was about to suffer misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fu Kong Youde and the others had clearly worried for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang merely summoned Commander Commander Jiang Huo into the rear hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After whispering a few words to Commander Commander Jiang Huo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the ruler and his minister quietly left the Qianqing Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's retreating figure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Kong Youde and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Imperial Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on a wooden bench by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Commander Jiang Huo, we know you have a good relationship with Su Qiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo looked at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang with a mournful expression and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, you flatter me; this subject, this subject does not know him at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would dare to be close to Su Qiao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last person who got that close to Su Qiao, Ru Taisu, had already been frightened into losing three sizes of clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little old man, who was already small, now looked as if he had just crawled out of a grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was there any semblance of a living person left in him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you talk so much nonsense to him when you were at the Eastern Palace?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo smiled bitterly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, this subject was just making idle chatter; it's a professional habit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't care about any of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you will go on our behalf to test Su Qiao's words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will be listening right beside you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Commander Commander Jiang Huo could only shut his mouth and walk toward the cell where Su Qiao was imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, inducing confessions was one of the essential skills of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having walked halfway,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo suddenly remembered to order a table of wine and dishes to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang nodded did Commander Commander Jiang Huo re-enter the prison cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying bored on the straw, Su Qiao lifted his head, looked at Commander Commander Jiang Huo with confusion, and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Commander Commander Jiang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo slapped a wine gourd down in front of Su Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Su, we are on duty in the Imperial Prison tonight; having nothing better to do, we came to chat with you for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiao paid it no mind whatsoever, not even lifting his eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came empty-handed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo's face instantly filled with black lines as he raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jailer behind him immediately brought over two roasted chickens and a plate of peanuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the aroma of the roasted chicken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiao lazily climbed up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo slapped a pair of chopsticks down in front of Su Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who enters the Imperial Prison, whether they are founding generals or Grand Secretaries, shows us nothing but utmost respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet you, Lord Su, show us no fear at all; you are even more arrogant here than you are outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the aroma of the roasted chicken, Su Qiao clicked his tongue disdainfully and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not fear death; how can you threaten me with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Su Qiao say this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huo could only grab a roasted chicken and start gnawing on it with a chagrined expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is true enough, but regarding that matter you mentioned earlier, Lord Su, is there really no solution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are those imperial clansmen of our Great Ming two hundred years from now truly so useless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Qiao immediately realized what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Commander Commander Jiang Huo with a bright smile and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to trick me into talking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did His Majesty send you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Commander Jiang Huang never expected Su Qiao to expose his intentions the moment he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it left Commander Commander Jiang Huang at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Qiao did not care in the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tearing off a chicken leg, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. For the sake of this roasted chicken, ask away. This official will tell you everything he knows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were already scheduled for execution after autumn,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiao had set his mind at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Su Qiao with confusion, Commander Commander Jiang Huang asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Su, if the dragon sons and grandsons of our Great Ming truly... you know what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people's hearts will surely be just as you anticipate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what of the army's morale?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you truly know nothing about military strategy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even on the battlefield, the death of a Regional Commander can throw an entire army into chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let alone thirty feudal princes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if the army's morale collapses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even lifting his eyelids, Su Qiao gnawed on the roasted chicken, his face shining with grease, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That collapse is exactly what we want. If their morale doesn't collapse, wouldn't these people have died in vain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment these words left his mouth, Commander Commander Jiang Huang instantly froze on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was one supposed to respond to that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the adjacent cell, the sound of Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang fiercely grinding his back teeth immediately rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brat has truly tricked Us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that sound, Commander Commander Jiang Huang instantly grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the adjacent cell with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qiao, however, was completely unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Director Commander Commander Jiang, don't take it to heart; I'm used to it. Your Imperial Prison is fine in every way, except there are far too many rats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Su Qiao casually picked up a chicken bone and immediately threw it at the green brick wall in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scram quickly, and stop making such a racket here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you make any more noise, do you think Director Commander Commander Jiang won't stew you and peel your skins off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Su Qiao did not forget to look at Commander Commander Jiang Huang and say,\u003C\u002Fp>",1996,"2026-06-15T23:33:58.699Z","2026-06-16T00:02:23.775Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","9e445cdb479bdc67d3e994236fee1828053bd0a749da6944680624db8e3fb039","great-ming-i-die-daily-remonstrating-becoming-th-chapter-74","great-ming-i-die-daily-remonstrating-becoming-th-chapter-72",125,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-ming-i-die-daily-remonstrating-becoming-th-cover.jpg"]
