Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 8 Why don't you ask Su'er again?

Feeling Hu Weiyong's sinister eyes, Liu Bowen could only smile wryly.

How could he not know what Hu Weiyong was thinking?
But at this moment, he was really worried about the imperial court's Northern Expedition situation, and he had no intention of caring about the factional disputes in the imperial court that could not be put on the table.

If the entire army of the Northern Expedition was wiped out, Daming would be in dire straits in an instant.

What's the point of these people, even if they are fighting to the death in the court?
This Hu Weiyong... is really short-sighted.Han Gonggong was such a forward-looking person before, but now he is also old.

He actually acquiesced in Hu Weiyong's party attacking dissidents...

Liu Bowen lowered his head, and did not refute Hu Weiyong with only a few words.Zhu Yuanzhang still frowned deeply, and the doubt in his heart still remained undiminished.

Seeing that Liu Bowen stopped speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Hu Weiyong, are you so sure that our Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty will not be in danger?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Weiyong consciously refuted Liu Bowen with a complacent expression.Lost for a moment, he said: "I would like to use the head of the item as a guarantee!"

"Haha, there is no need to have a head on the neck." Hu Weiyong was so sure that it made Zhu Yuanzhang let go of the big stone in his heart.With his underage son Xiong on one side and his capable minister on the other, he naturally trusted the minister more.

And he also believed in Xu Da. In his opinion, Xu Da was indeed not someone who would abandon his strategic deployment and underestimate the enemy.

Lao Zhu let go of his worries, and the heavy atmosphere in Jinshen Hall suddenly relaxed.Only then did Old Zhu notice the faint morning light outside.It's still early, and the sky is only white.

"We were worried all night, and after being relieved by Hu Qing, we felt sleepy." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. "I'm sorry to bother you. It's still early, so go back and catch up on sleep."

All the ministers didn't even dare to say.They saluted one after another and exited the Jinshen Hall.After Hu Weiyong was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, he only felt elated, and the resentment that he had just crawled out of the concubine's bed in a hurry disappeared.

Several people came out of the hall, said goodbye to each other, all yawned profusely.Only Liu Bowen lagged behind, still frowning, looking worried.Everyone ignored him and was about to step down the steps of the Jinshen Hall when they saw the light of a torch from a distance, which was particularly eye-catching in the imperial city that was not yet bright, and was galloping towards the Jinshen Hall.

"Urgent report from the front line! Please open the gate of the palace!" Faintly heard, there were internal officials reporting the news layer by layer.

"Xuan!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard it at some point, and strode out of Jinshen Hall.His voice is like a bell, and his whole body looks like a lion.

Hongling, who was riding a horse, hurriedly came to the front of the Jinshen Hall, and the two tigers went up to meet him, took the battle report in his hand, and presented the battle report to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu opened the battle report, and a servant immediately brought a palace lantern.With the light of the palace lantern, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully looked at the battle report from the front line, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

"Your Majesty." Liu Bowen bowed. "May I ask how the battle is going on the front line?"

"Bastard!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly roared, throwing the battle report to the ground.

"Tiande, Tiande misled me!"

Startled, Liu Bowen hurriedly picked up the battle report on the ground.Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others also ignored the party affiliation, and came over to inspect it one after another.

I saw the battle report read: "On the sixth day of May, Duke Wei led his army into Lingbei, and was captured by Yuan generals Wang Baobao and He Zongzhe."

"This..." Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others turned pale!

"...This!" Hu Weiyong was even more startled.He only felt a chill in his neck, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was furious with some guilt.

Your Majesty, he wouldn't take what he just said seriously and really take my head?
……

"Your Majesty! The matter has come to this, soldiers should be recruited immediately, and the Great Wall should be reinforced to prevent the Yuan court from counterattacking!" All the ministers left and returned in the hall.Liu Bowen came forward and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so!" Li Shanchang also stood up. "I was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the war was peaceful, and the localities were not yet stable. At this time, soldiers are recruited again to increase the Great Wall, which will definitely cause turmoil in the world!"

"But if Meng Yuan crosses the Great Wall with the momentum of a great victory, half of the country in the north will be overthrown immediately!" Liu Bowen said anxiously.

"The north has been plagued by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty for a long time. There are no people in ten, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Even if it is really overthrown, you can come to Japan to plan it!" Li Shanchang retorted. "Furthermore, the battle report did not mention that the Yanming Central Route Army was completely wiped out. Besides, there are still [-] elite soldiers in the Eastern and Western Route Army. How would you know sincerity that these two Route Army will not get the news and go back to defend the Great Wall? "

"The desert is vast, and it's hard to hear. Once the Central Route Army is defeated, the East Route Raiders are no longer useful. It's only a matter of time before they are encircled by the Yuan Army." Liu Bowen shook his head dejectedly. "If you are encircled in the desert, how difficult it is to break through! I'm afraid there will be no luck. The same is true when the central army is ambushed. As for the western route, it is used for containment, and it penetrates deep into the enemy's rear. Undefeated It's a great fortune, how can I return to help in time?"

"If the Central and Eastern Routes are wiped out, our Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

"Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong are both famous generals in the world, how could they be wiped out so easily?" Li Shan said long.

"You and others thought that Wei Guogong would definitely defeat Wang Baobao in this battle, so what now?" Liu Bowen scolded. "How can we place our hopes on the event of a major event in the world?"

"Enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, and Liu and Li, who were fighting with their swords, were startled. They immediately bowed their heads and bowed their hands, waiting for the crime.

Lao Zhu did not continue to scold the two of them.He only felt that his temples were throbbing, and his head hurt badly.Weakly waved his hand: "Go back first. Let's think about it."

"Your Majesty." Liu Bowen took a step forward and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, prepare for the worst!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes angrily, but what he saw was Liu Bowen's urgent and worried expression.

"...We got it. Mr. Berwin, let's go back first."

The ministers bowed and exited the Jinshen Hall again.They were communicating outside the hall, their eyes full of fear and worry.

If the Northern Expedition Army is really wiped out, then...

Daming's sky, I'm afraid it's about to change!
……

"Tiande misled me, Tiande misunderstood me!"

In Kunning Palace, Empress Ma who just got up was drinking porridge with pickles, when Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly rushed in, looking angry.

"Chongba, what's the matter?" Empress Ma stood up, suddenly thought of something, her face froze. "Could it be..."

"Frontline battle report, on the sixth day of May, Tiande was ambushed because of his audacity..." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.With a sweep of his sleeve, he swept all the breakfast on the table on the ground. "I'm afraid that our Ming army will be completely wiped out!"

"This……"

Empress Ma's complexion suddenly turned pale.She waved her hand, causing the maids around her who were so frightened to kneel to hide quickly.Then he helped Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down and helped him caress his back. "You mean, Su'er's prophecy is really..."

"Heaven's virtue, heaven's virtue!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care less about prophecy at this time.He patted his knee angrily, with a look of mourning his misfortune and angering him. "It's good that Tiande is defeated. His entire army has been wiped out. We, the Northern Frontier of the Ming Dynasty, will definitely receive a full blow from Meng Yuan!"

"In order to raise the funds needed for this Northern Expedition, the imperial court has already tightened their belts. If so many elites are lost, if they want to defend the Mongolian Yuan, they will have to recruit soldiers."

"I was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it is time to recuperate. At this time, the conscription, I am afraid that there will be people's grievances everywhere in the north and the south. Within a few years of my Ming Dynasty, there will be no more days of peace!"

"Tiande, Tiande, I hope you can hold on to the defeat, and don't be completely defeated..."

When Empress Ma heard Zhu Yuanzhang praying to the sky, she was speechless for a while.She is not an ordinary woman, so she naturally knows Lao Zhu's difficulties.If Daming lost those hundreds of thousands of elites, he would have to pay a huge price if he wanted to stabilize the situation again.

The point is, the current situation is unknown.And the battle situation on the front line is changing rapidly.If the court is hesitant to increase troops to defend the border and misses the opportunity, Meng Yuan will take the opportunity to go down in one fell swoop, and then everything will be over.

However, if the imperial court had spent a lot of effort to increase its troops, Xu Da's side would have stabilized the defeat and kept the elite of the Ming Dynasty.Didn't the imperial court cause public grievances and panic for no reason, but it had no effect at all?
"Heavy eight." Empress Ma suddenly blessed her heart.

"Why don't you ask Su'er again, what's the next development of the battle?"

　That...is anyone watching?If there is something, can you say a word and give Xiaobai author a little confidence...

　　Also, does anyone know how to cast inside?Just post here, will there really be an editor to sign the contract...
