First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 47

Zhu Biao led Liu Jin and others back to Chengqian Palace. Zhu Biao suddenly stopped in front of the door and instructed Liu Jin, "Go and invite my cousin to the East Palace tomorrow."

After Liu Jin bowed to his promise, Zhu Biao stepped into his residence and lay down in the golden silk quilt under the service of a group of people. There were four little eunuchs watching the night at the door. When he coughed at night, someone would come in to wait.

The next morning, Zhu Biao got up and put on a red Panlong robe with narrow sleeves, a crown of Wusha Yishan on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and white jade boots under his feet.

He got up in high spirits and went to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace to pick up a book and read for a while. After the court meeting, Liu Jin led a tall man in.

Zhu Biao stood up with a smile, and the visitor hurriedly bent over and handed over his hands: "My minister, Li Wenzhong, sees the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Biao walked out from behind the desk and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Brother is too polite, please take a seat."

After he sat down with a few polite words, Zhu Biao returned to his seat and said sincerely: "Yesterday I discussed it with the royal father. When I plan to go out with the army next year, I specially invited my brother to ask for advice this time."

Li Wenzhong frowned and said with concern: "Prince Prince, what kind of identity are you, how can you take such a big risk, this battlefield is dangerous, victory or defeat is unpredictable!"

Zhu Biao held a white tiger pendant in his hand and said, "Bengong grew up in the mansion since he was a child, but he knows how fierce the military is, but he does have some considerations. I think that next year, my brother will also lead the army, and I would like to ask my brother for guidance."

Li Wenzhong stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you must know that our generals can be defeated, but as the crown prince, you are absolutely invincible."

"Otherwise, your reputation will be irreparably damaged. The public minister is your vassal, and the private minister is your cousin. Therefore, the minister dares to be bold. Please, His Royal Highness, please think about it."

Zhu Biao also got up and said softly: "My brother said that this palace will keep it in my heart, but I have some thoughts about this matter, and my father agreed."

Li Wenzhong understood as soon as he heard it, this is to let the prince make military exploits. He thought that his uncle must be very sure that he would send his prince to the battlefield.

Seeing the momentum, Liu Jin quickly stepped forward to help Li Wenzhong and let him sit down: "Doctor Rong Lu is the leader of the generals who has been praised by His Majesty for his bravery and skill, and he is also a relative of His Highness, so the Crown Prince specially let him Slaves, please come to discuss."

Li Wenzhong also sat down and said to Zhu Biao above: "Since the prince has made up his mind, then the minister Li Wenzhong should lead the horse and whip for His Highness to serve his life!"

After a few polite words, Zhu Biao chatted with him about affairs in the army. Li Wenzhong has also fought for many years, and he is still a relative.

Not long after, officials from the Ministry of War sent a report of the Northern Expedition, which was also mixed with the needs of the Northern Expedition for supplies.

Zhu Biao opened it, and there was also a note from Lao Zhu: "Think carefully, the most important thing in the army is logistical supplies. The supplies are unstable, how to stabilize the morale of the army, and how to make the soldiers go to war with peace of mind."

Several chiefs of the Ministry of War stood respectfully at the start, quietly waiting for the prince's inquiry.

From this day onwards, Zhu Biao was invited to practice cavalry and archery every morning. After two hours, he began to deal with the logistics supplies for the Northern Expedition with the people from the Ministry of War. In the afternoon, various generals who stayed in Yingtianfu came to tell him about the military system rules.

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), in the seventh month of the leap, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the horse and boat divisions from Linqing to the north along the canal, connecting Dezhou and Tongzhou.Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Kaiping, Shangdu, with his concubine and prince.

On August [-], Xu Da and Chang Yuchun captured Dadu in one fell swoop and changed it to Beiping Prefecture.

Mongolia's rule in the Central Plains ended, and the Ming Dynasty gained the right to rule the area within the Great Wall!

The Northern Expedition army is like a rainbow, ready to retake the sixteen states of Yanyun that have been lost for more than [-] years in one fell swoop.

However, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, received an order from Zhu Yuanzhang directly, except for the necessary stay, so the general was not allowed to continue to pursue!Immediately set off for the class teacher to return to the court. "

Although they all want to continue the pursuit and expand the results of the battle, but the emperor's life has been given, naturally no one dares to play anything that will make the emperor's life suffer. The lesson from ancient times is that most people who dare to play this hand will not end well.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun naturally did not dare, and Chang Yuchun had already received a secret letter from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he wanted the teacher to return to the dynasty more urgently than anyone else.

In this way, since the two military leaders are willing to return to the DPRK, the following people are naturally not qualified to have any objections.

After Zhu Biao heard the news, his face turned red with excitement!This is really a bit shameless. It is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang wants his son to retake the 400-year-lost Yanyun Sixteen States with his own hands, and make this great achievement.

The founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became independent, and asked the Khitan for help.The Khitan sent troops to support the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Liao Taizong and Shi Jingtang were about father and son.

In the third year of Tianfu, Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan in accordance with the requirements of the Khitan, which extended the territory of the Liao Kingdom to the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to fully recover.

The strategic significance of the sixteen states of Yanyun made the Northern Song regime in the Central Plains feel threatened for more than 160 years. Once the sixteen states of Yanyun were lost, the northern frontier defense was almost impossible to defend. , the Yellow River can be drunk day and night.

Because of this, the cession of the sixteen states of Youyun has become a major event affecting the political structure and historical process of China. In the following four hundred years, the restoration of the sixteen states of Youyun has become the dream of every Han dynasty.

Even if Zhu Biao is not a prince, but a general, his meritorious deeds in recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun are enough to be remembered in the history of history.

After Zhu Biao calmed down, he thought about the impact of this. After all, in history, the Northern Expedition army directly recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, but now they have only captured Dadu, and the rest are still in the Yuan court. hands.

It seems that the matter of the title can no longer be dragged on. If the generals of the Northern Expedition Army spit out such a big mouthful of meat, it must be compensated.

If you want to come this time, Zhu Yuanzhang will give awards to the generals of the Northern Expedition!Cover their mouths with titles.

This is politics. Compromising with each other can make the dynasty go further, otherwise what good is it for them to make trouble?

As long as they don't want to kill, they can only be appeased, otherwise what will they do when they get angry?They don't feel bad for the imperial court, how did they come from the rat bogeyman?
