"Break the golden tent and capture the pseudo-Yuan Emperor alive!" Wang Bi picked up the reins, swung the sword in his hand towards the golden tent, and roared suddenly.
The sound reached the ears of the Ming army officers, and everyone looked in front of Wang Bi. When they saw the golden tent, everyone's eyes turned into a golden red, which complemented the brilliance of the golden tent.
"Broken golden tent..."
"Capture the pseudo-Yuan Emperor alive..."
"Kill! Kill! Kill..."
With the pseudo-Yuan Emperor as a hatred amplifier and morale multiplier in front, the morale of the Ming army instantly increased several times and became completely unstoppable. The Yuan army collapsed at a faster speed.
Wang Bi took the lead in attacking the golden tent, followed by the soldiers behind him, and then other soldiers. Everyone was searching every corner of the golden tent with red eyes, trying to find the pseudo-Yuan Emperor.
Lan Yu also arrived here quickly, and before she went in, she saw Wang Bi coming out.
Facing Lan Yu's questioning gaze, Wang Bi replied with some dejection: "The Pseudo-Yuan Emperor is not here, he has escaped."
"Chase!" Lan Yu didn't hesitate at all and immediately sent out elite cavalry to pursue.
After going through all kinds of hardships and going deep into Mobei, although they defeated the Yuan army, if the pseudo-Yuan emperor was gone, even this time the credit would be reduced by more than half.
All the achievements here are not as good as a pseudo-Yuan emperor!
Unfortunately, the sun set quickly and the grassland became pitch black. The cavalry chasing the pseudo-Yuan Emperor couldn't tell the direction at all, and it didn't take long before they completely lost sight of the pseudo-Yuan Emperor.
When the sun rose again the next day, the Ming army was already clearing the battlefield.
In the evening, the cavalry chasing the pseudo-Yuan Emperor also retreated. Judging from their dejected looks, it was obvious that they had gained nothing.
With regret in her heart, Lan Yu had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing to pursue the pseudo-Yuan Emperor and focus on the gains in front of her.
Wang Bi came to him with a rough list and handed it to Lan Yu: "A great victory, a great victory! We beheaded thirty-three thousand people and captured the slaves, concubines, and princesses of the second son of the pseudo-Yuan Emperor. There are more than a hundred people below, including Wu Wang Duo'erzhi, Dai Wang Dalima and 3,000 officials and subordinates below Pingzhang, more than 77,000 men and women, as well as precious seals, talismans, gold and silver seals and other items, horses, camels, cattle , there are more than 150,000 sheep, and there are countless armor, battles, and baggage.”
Thirty-three thousand people were beheaded. This was probably the most beheadings in the Northern Expedition since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There are still so many gains, including the capture of the second son, concubines, and princesses of the pseudo-Yuan Emperor. This can be regarded as catching up with the pseudo-Yuan Emperor and his family, except for the pseudo-Yuan Emperor and the crown prince Tianbaonu.
They also captured Wu King Duo'erji, Dai Wang Dalima and 3,000 people from Pingzhang and below. This was considered to have wiped out all the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. From today on, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has ceased to exist in name only.
Although the pseudo-Yuan Emperor and Prince Tianbaonu were not captured, even the current gains were enough to make Lan Yu smile and leave his name in history.
"Good news, send the good news to the emperor quickly!" Lan Yu shouted repeatedly.
Of course, the emperor must be the first to know about such an unparalleled achievement. Firstly, it makes the emperor happy, and secondly, since Lan Yu has made such a great contribution, how can the emperor not reward him heavily?
Lan Yu was already thinking about the scene when he was made the Duke of the country.
"Don't worry, General. As soon as we are cleared, we will send a horse to report to the capital."
Wang Bi also smiled happily.
...
Capital.
On a spring morning, a mist spreads. The sun fell on the slightly moist stone slab, and the water quickly evaporated.
After the morning court, Lao Zhu rarely dealt with the memorial. Instead, he stepped down from the dragon chair, walked outside the hall, stood up and looked up to the north.
This unusual reaction made Zhu Biao, who was following him, tentatively ask, "Are you worried about the war in the north?"
Lao Zhu didn't look back, just nodded slightly.
Zhu Biao saw it and quickly comforted him: "Ying Guogong, Lan Yu and the fourth brother are all brave and capable generals. This time the Ming Dynasty sends 300,000 troops to the north, they will definitely win a great victory. Please also pay attention to the dragon." Body, don’t worry.”
Zhu Biao's consolation had no effect on Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu shook his head slightly and sighed: "In addition to Lan Yu's 150,000 troops, Fu Youde's 60,000 horses are just Han people from Liaodong who have just surrendered, and Lao Si Although there are many people and horses with us, Han Du’s Shanzi camp has never entered the grassland, and I don’t know if the fourth child can protect Han Du.”
Seeing his father mention Han Du, Zhu Biao couldn't help but criticize him even though he was completely obedient to his father. After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips and asked: "Since father is worried about Han Du, why do you let him go to the grassland?"
Only then did Lao Zhu turn around and glance at Zhu Biao. He moved his fingers to tell the people around him to step back, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Actually, you should also be able to see that I left Han Du for you."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly. Ever since his father granted Han Du the title of Marquis, no matter how much contribution Han Du made, his father would rather confer the title on Han Du's family than continue to reward Han Du. Zhu Biao already knew his father's intentions.
"I don't want to make Han Du the Duke of the country, just because I want to leave this opportunity to you. You will personally decree the title of the Duke of Han Du, so that he can wholeheartedly assist you in governing the country." Lao Zhu paused for a few breaths when he said this. .
After that, he continued: "How can an important minister of the auxiliary country have never been to the grassland, don't even know what Meng Yuan is like, and don't even know how to fight against Meng Yuan? Because of this, I cannot Even if Han Du is not allowed to go, he has to go!"
"Thank you, Father. It's my son's incompetence that makes Father worry about it." Zhu Biao felt Lao Zhu's kindness and couldn't help but said.
Parents love their children, and they really have far-reaching plans. Lao Zhu was heartbroken because of Zhu Biao.
Seeing the self-blame on the face of his chosen prince, Lao Zhu looked into his eyes calmly and said seriously: "No, you are very good! Although you are too kind, you can always be kind to people and things. You are extremely generous, which is not in line with my wishes, but judging from your ability to govern the country, you are very good. I am very relieved that you will inherit the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Lao Zhu nodded heavily and looked at Zhu Biao with certainty.
Zhu Biao was surprised by his father's words. This was the first time he heard his father express dissatisfaction with him.
Seeing Zhu Biao's confusion, Lao Zhu had no choice but to explain: "If you are an ordinary person, there is no problem with your generosity and kindness. But as a king, you must not be blindly kind, and of course you cannot be blindly domineering. Only by combining hardness and softness can you They complement each other.”
Domineering~
This was the first time Zhu Biao heard his father describe himself in this way, and he was shocked.
Lao Zhu sneered at Zhu Biao and said, "Do you think I don't even know who I am and what I am doing?"
"But since my father knows that this... is not good, why would he still..." Zhu Biao was even more confused. Originally, he thought he had seen his father clearly, but now he realized that, He actually knew nothing about his father. No matter how hard he tried to see his current father, he could not see clearly through a thick layer of fog.
Lao Zhu put his hands behind his back and turned towards Fengtianmen. His eyes spread from his feet to Fengtianmen and then to the whole world. "I founded the Ming Dynasty, and there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized. If I expected you to be as kind and generous as you are now, then I don't know how many people in this world would be called orphans, and how many people would be destitute.
But you are different. Your reputation for kindness is known all over the world. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will immediately gain the support of everyone in the world. I have been harsh on the people of the world for so many years, and it’s time for them to relax. "
"Keep this in mind, I will definitely live up to your father's expectations." Zhu Biao took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to his father.
Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao indifferently: "Don't be too happy too early. I have said that you cannot govern the country just by relying on kindness. Therefore, I must leave Han Du to you. This boy is insidious. He is cunning, and no conspiracy can be hidden from his eyes. Only with him helping you keep an eye on the civil and military affairs of this dynasty can I rest assured."
As he said that, Lao Zhu said directly: "Originally, I would never worry about someone like Han Du. Fortunately, he married An Qing, and now Han Jingyun has become the princess, so I can safely keep him here." for you."
Lao Zhu did not say how he would deal with Han Du if Han Du did not marry An Qing and Zhu Biao did not marry Han Jingyun.
But Zhu Biao just thought about it briefly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and his palms became sweaty because he was worried about Han Du.
"Now, do you know why I asked Han Du to go to the grassland?" After Lao Zhu finished saying this, he glanced at Zhu Biao lightly.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
At the same time, a fast horse from outside the capital came straight to the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city couldn't stand this behavior of not slowing down at the city gate. They have no control over running wildly in other places, but not under the emperor's feet anyway.
The soldiers guarding the city were about to step forward to stop him, when the man on horseback suddenly took out a command flag and shouted.
"Hurry up for eight hundred miles, the general will win a great victory in Yu'erhai, and the Yuan Dynasty will be defeated and captured without any calculation..."
When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they immediately felt as if they were being scalded by the air in front of them. They immediately stepped back and hurriedly cleaned up the debris at the city gate so that they could quickly enter the city.
The soldiers and civilians rushed past the cave entrance like a horse. Countless people were shocked by the news they heard.
They couldn't believe their ears...
"General, great victory in Yuerhai..."
"It is useless to destroy Yuan Ting and capture..."
The people may not know who the general is, but they only need to know that the Ming Dynasty defeated Bei Yuan, and it was a great victory.
Even the court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.
When was the last time the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated? That was when Xu Da conquered Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty and Meng Yuan completely retreated to the grassland.
It was the first year of Hongwu, and the Ming Dynasty had just been founded!
