Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo did not go too far, they just came to the top of the city wall.
At this moment, the city walls were already brightly lit by countless torches.
The Ming army officers and soldiers on the city wall were also on the alert, and no one was lazy or passive in their preparations for battle.
The main reason for this is naturally inseparable from the work Zhang Wuji does on a daily basis.
Ever since the uprising against the Yuan Dynasty at Guangmingding, Zhang Wuji has been at the forefront of everything.
The officers and soldiers saw this and naturally followed suit.
In addition, most of the current generals of the Ming army are basically from the Mingjiao period.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. In addition, those people in the Mingjiao period were all extraordinary, and the Mingjiao's teachings of saving the world had long been firmly engraved in their hearts.
Therefore, when commanding soldiers, the generals would naturally use the teachings of the Ming Cult to restrain their words and deeds, and would often teach them to take it as their responsibility to save the people of the world.
Therefore, the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty now know why they are fighting.
After the Hexi area fell into Zhang Wuji's hands, he made it prosperous in a very short period of time. Although Hexi is a little poor, at least the people can now live and work in peace and contentment.
These signs of revival were seen by all the soldiers.
…
When she was about to walk to the soldiers, Zhou Zhiruo deliberately moved closer to Zhang Wuji.
If it were Zhao Linger and Yu Fei, when they were not with Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo would not do these things that made her feel shy, and she would not hold hands with Zhang Wuji in front of the soldiers.
But today, Zhou Zhiruo had to do this with her own little thoughts in mind.
She just wanted to show off her love for Zhang Wuji in front of the soldiers.
Let the soldiers see that she, Zhou Zhiruo, is still irreplaceable.
Of course, Zhang Wuji could never have imagined these little thoughts of Zhou Zhiruo.
Now, Zhang Wuji just thought that Zhou Zhiruo was caring about him.
They had not taken a few steps when they were discovered by the soldiers on the city wall.
The soldiers were very surprised when they saw Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo.
They quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Madam Zhou."
Before Zhang Wuji could speak, Zhou Zhiruo said softly, "Soldiers, there is no need to be so formal. We are on the battlefield and there is no need for such cumbersome etiquette."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Did you hear that? What my wife said is what I say. Let's all get up. It's hard enough for the soldiers to keep watch at night, so let's skip all these cumbersome formalities."
Zhang Wuji held Zhou Zhiruo's hand and continued to walk forward. When passing by the soldiers, Zhou Zhiruo said again: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
This was the first time the soldiers had heard Zhou Zhiruo's compassionate words.
At this moment, the soldiers became full of energy. To receive Madam Zhou's sympathy was far more difficult than to receive the gold and silver rewards from the Empress and Madam Yu.
Not only did those soldiers hear Zhou Zhiruo say such words for the first time, but even Zhou Zhiruo herself felt that it was the first time she said such words.
In the past, Zhou Zhiruo was always serious in front of the soldiers and her words were always harsh and critical.
But today, Zhou Zhiruo overturned the soldiers' perception of her.
Wherever Zhou Zhiruo passed by, she would say a few words of concern to the soldiers, neither too casual nor too serious.
So many Ming army soldiers could not believe it was true.
Several Ming army officers and soldiers were still whispering, "Hey, was that person just now still Madam Zhou?"
"In the past, Mrs. Zhou didn't scold us, which meant she was taking care of us."
"But did you see it just now? Mrs. Zhou seemed to smile at me."
Another Ming army soldier said: "Don't worry, I also felt that Madam Zhou smiled at me, but that smile was most likely given to His Majesty for his face."
"His Majesty has always been good to us. Today, he held Madam Zhou's hand and came to the front of the battle. Even if Madam Zhou has a vicious heart, she has to give us a smile."
"Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to our Majesty."
The soldier on the side said: "What you said makes some sense, but the word "vicious" you used just now was not the right one."
"If Mrs. Zhou hears this, she will dig up your ancestral grave."
…
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji were sympathizing with the soldiers on the top of the city wall, while Zhu Wenzhen on the other side also began to prepare.
Zhu Wenzhen divided the tens of thousands of pounds of black fire given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang into five parts.
He planned to blow up the city walls of Dadu in five directions.
He also gathered together thousands of elite soldiers.
Zhu Wenzhen said to the more than ten people who were in the lead: "My brothers, my uncle lost more than 200,000 soldiers and generals in the battle for Yuan Dadu, and even General Chang Yuchun was killed in the battle."
"But this capital was taken away by the villain Zhang Wuji."
"This is even more hateful than the hatred of having my father killed and my wife stolen."
"Think about it carefully, if your biological father was killed by Zhang Wuji, would you be angry?"
The people around said in unison: "Angry."
Zhu Wen Zheng then asked: "If your wife was harmed by Zhang Wuji, would you be angry?"
The people around said in unison: "Angry."
Zhu Wenzhen smiled and said, "It's right to be angry."
"This great capital city is our biological father and our biological daughter-in-law, but it is now occupied by Zhang Wuji. Are you angry?"
Lan Yu, who was not far away, said: "Angry, of course we are angry."
He walked slowly to Zhu Wenzhen and said to the soldiers in front of him in the same indignant tone: "Brothers, we now have the hatred of Zhang Wuji for killing our father and stealing our wife."
"Of course, Zhang Wuji's father is dead, so we can't avenge his father's murder."
"However, we must avenge the great hatred of having our wives taken away from us."
"Zhang Wuji's wives are not good people. After we take over Dadu, we will make sure to let Zhang Wuji's wives know how powerful we are."
…
After several days of fighting, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers had already seen the appearance of the ladies around Zhang Wuji.
Even compared with the former empress Zhao Min, she is not much inferior.
Lan Yu glanced at the soldiers in front of him, and from their eyes, Lan Yu knew what they were thinking.
Lan Yu said: "Brothers, the time has come to avenge the loss of my wife."
"First, you go and blow a few holes in the city wall of Dadu. After that, I will personally lead thousands of troops into the city."
"When the time comes, you will be the first to avenge the hatred of having your wife taken away."
"After you have taken revenge, I will take revenge again."
