Chapter 24 At the Celebration Banquet
But Chang Mao's mood became even more difficult to control next.
After He Xi reluctantly sat down. Feng Sheng added, "The third hero is Master Nahachu."
When Naha heard this, he was shocked. He couldn't believe why Feng Sheng said this.
Why did Feng Sheng say this? It was just to comfort him.
Feng Sheng still has an overall view. Not to mention, although Naha surrendered. But Naha's men were followed by hundreds of thousands of people. This is his strength. In this era, there was a huge population gap throughout the north. Many places are completely white. The influence of hundreds of thousands of people is considerable.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts on Qian Yuan also changed. Four years before Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to exterminate the former Yuan Dynasty. Only by exterminating the previous dynasty could he prove whether the current dynasty was Zhengshuo or not.
It can be said that the outcome of the Battle of Lingbei is uncertain, but for strategic purposes, Xu Da still retreated. Although the army was saved, from this point of view, it was still a failure. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought about destroying the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Changed approach. From eradicating this imperial eclipse, it has turned into encroaching step by step. It also goes from hard to soft on the wrist. It is said that Wang Baobao is a strange man in the world. And asked King Qin to marry Wang Baobao's sister as a concubine. That's right. It is the prototype of Zhao Min in Yitian Slaying the Dragon.
He just wanted to use gentle means to divide Mongolia. They were also very kind to those who surrendered to Mongolia.
Now Naha has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to surrender, which has huge influence. It can be said that Feng Sheng was sure that Naha would not lose his status as a prince when he went out to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. Naha is older. Maybe his achievements will not be good in the future, but his son and grandson may be Jin Rixi of the Ming Dynasty.
Not talking about things that far away, it is just to appease the people and make hundreds of thousands of people feel at ease as Ming people. Feng Sheng also needs to give Naha a good thumbs up.
It's just that Naha has a new recruit, and it's really a sensitive period now. When Feng Sheng said this, I first wondered if there was some conspiracy. Is there any hidden method? Or flattery. He immediately stood up and said, "The country is subjugated and it is a lowly prisoner who dare not praise him as the Duke of the country."
Feng Sheng said: "The Yuan Dynasty has been dead for more than ten years. Emperor Shun and his son have also died one after another. The one who is on the grassland today is not the official leader of the Yuan Dynasty. My lord, you have insisted on ministerial loyalty for more than ten years, and your loyalty is consistent with the sun and the moon. Who in the world can People don’t know. It’s just that times have changed. Now that I have joined the new dynasty, everything starts again. All the things of yesterday, such as death yesterday, and all the things of today, such as birth today. Everything before has been wiped out. Now that you have brought hundreds of thousands of people to the court, they must be counted. The people of a large county have a deep understanding of righteousness and avoid the pain of disputes. How can it be considered a great achievement? I, Feng Sheng, am not a blind person."
While talking, Feng Sheng walked down, took Naha Chu's hand, and pressed Na Ha Chu on the seat.
After Naha was revealed to be Mu Huali, it can be said that generations of ministers, under the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, repeatedly rose up, and it was not just a matter of ability. He is not an idiot in terms of tactics, so he can naturally see Feng Sheng's purpose.
When Feng Sheng did this, Naha knew that he had to take the move even if he didn't want to. So for a moment, Naha burst into tears and said respectfully: "Sin, I didn't know that the heaven is so generous and only came to surrender today. It's really unfair." I am so ashamed that I swear to my ancestors that from now on I will be loyal and loyal to the heaven. If I violate this promise, my ancestors will not be able to live in the underground. I will have no descendants."
"My son." Naha said.
Naha's son, Chahan, immediately came out.
Naha led him to kneel down in front of Feng Sheng and said: "I have nothing but this son, who still has some courage. Please listen to me in front of the official's account."
Feng Sheng quickly helped Chahan up and said, "He is a warrior. I, the Emperor of Heaven, value warriors the most. I cannot use such a warrior. Are you willing to go to Nanjing and meet the Emperor in person?"
Chahan said, "My father said that Your Majesty is the greatest hero in the world, with a mind as big as the grassland and kindness as great as the earth. Being able to see Your Majesty is a blessing I have cultivated in three lifetimes, and I am naturally willing to do so."
Feng Sheng said: "Master Naha, are you willing to let your son be the messenger of victory?"
Feng Cheng was afraid that Naha would not understand the deeper meaning, so he said, "As a rule, anyone who reports victory will be rewarded in front of His Majesty."
It is similar to folk customs. When reporting good news, there must be a reward.
Naturally, Feng Sheng was not just a small favor offered by Naha. At the same time, it was also to let Chahan go to Nanjing as a hostage, but he just changed his name to a nice one. Of course, if Naha comes out, he will be peaceful in the future. His son will definitely be heavily rewarded. Even rising to prominence.
This is Feng Sheng's judgment based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding.
What else could Naha say at this moment, it was just to thank him.
Feng Sheng finished the political activities at the celebration banquet, and it was naturally time for the banquet. Naha contributed some singing girls. Drinking here, these generals on the battlefield are all very capable of fighting. But below the battlefield, all kinds of debauchery are not described in detail.
In short, after three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the banquet became noisy.
He Xi also used a few chopsticks to roast mutton. It's just that in He Xi's opinion, the mutton is a bit old. Little did they know that the sheep that had just spent the winter had lost all the fat on their bodies. Naturally, he is old and useless. Moreover, the celebration banquet looks like a big fish and meat, but in fact the dishes are very monotonous. That is, cattle, sheep and some game, and it is easy to make.
He Xi was about to leave the table. After all, Feng Sheng is no longer here. As a leader, many people can't let go of him here. And Fu Youde has also left.
But at this time, I suddenly heard a roar. He Xi turned around and saw Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng, coming over with a wine pot. Pointing at Naha's nose, he said, "Who are you? Why are you sitting on top of me?"
For a moment, Chang Mao's voice overwhelmed all the sounds of punches.
He Xi saw that Chang Mao's face was red and he smelled of alcohol, so he knew he had drank too much. And Naha Chu was sitting next to He Xi. Not to mention, He Xi knew that the most important moment for Naha to appear was. If he hadn't just been comforted, he would be slapped in the face here.
He Xi stood up and said: "Zheng Guogong is drunk, and he still doesn't help Zheng Guogong to rest."
But he didn't know whether Chang Mao was really drunk or just acting drunk. He pointed at He Xi and said, "Get out of here, you have nothing to do with me here."
He Xi's face suddenly froze.
To be honest, after He Xi arrived in the Ming Dynasty, many famous generals and ministers were close to He Xi after all, such as Ruo Tang He, Xu Da, and Feng Sheng. Even those who are hostile will not reach the level of Chang Mao. He Xi didn't react for a while.
He thought to himself: "Am I being scolded?"
Naha came out and said: "Zheng Guogong, I don't know where the villain has offended the Duke. I am here to apologize to the Duke."
Chang Mao burped and said, "Yes. You should apologize with your head. Why are you surrendering? You should just stick out your neck and let me chop it off, but it's not too late now." ." He said while touching the knife.
In fact, Chang Mao expressed the thoughts of many people in the West Route Army coming from the direction of Daning.
These people hate Naha to death. Naha surrendered. They had been preparing for such a long time to gain military exploits, but it was gone.
Many people can't stand it.
It's just that they all know what they can only think about but not say. The wood is ready. Many people are drinking alcohol at the moment. But only Chang Mao, a fool, dared to say it. As soon as this statement came out, many people suddenly changed their minds.
First up is Naha.
Naha was in a place of suspicion when he appeared. He was almost always careful not to offend anyone. And it's extremely sensitive, if this was said by an ordinary person. Naha Chu may not believe it, but who is Chang Mao? Duke Zheng of the Ming Dynasty, he is a rare duke of the Ming Dynasty. He is Chang Yuchun, the son of Chang Shiwan.
Can such a person speak freely?
Is this a drunken gaffe, or a drunken utterance?
Also changing color is He Xi. One person from Naha was responsible for hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops and hundreds of thousands of women and children. Once there are changes, hundreds of thousands of people who could have been saved will suffer changes.
You can eat food indiscriminately, but you must not talk indiscriminately.
He Xi scolded sternly: "Zheng Guogong, be careful what you say."
At the same time, a voice came from behind He Xi, saying: "Shut up."
