Chapter 409 The Overheard Zhu Yuanzhang
After Zhu Biao thought for a while, he replied:
"Although father organized the Northern Expedition many times and built the Great Wall, he didn't rush for quick success, but planned it slowly!"

Bai Lixiu was also noncommittal about Zhu Biao's words. Although Zhu Yuanzhang started the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he accepted it as soon as it was good and did not pursue it fiercely. The combat command was very targeted!
Historically, during Zhu Yuanzhang's 31-year reign, he launched a total of 31 Northern Expeditions. Of course, what is more interesting is that although Zhu Yuanzhang's 35-year reign is recorded in the history books, there are [-] years of Hongwu!

As for why this is so, it is mainly because Zhu Di did not recognize the legitimacy of Emperor Jianwen in history. After all, the throne can only be passed on to his sons, and how can it be passed on to his grandsons, so he assigned the four years of Emperor Jianwen to Zhu Yuanzhang. Emperor Wen didn't give him the year title, and he still considered himself the second emperor of Ming Dynasty in the history books.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's first Northern Expedition was the third year of Hongwu, because Yuan Huizong stayed in the border area of ​​the Ming Dynasty after fleeing north to Shangdu, trying to accumulate strength to regain Dadu.For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng and other troops to divide into two groups, one to attack Shanqian and Shanqian remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other to go out to pursue Yuan Huizong. In the end, both groups of Ming troops won great victories.

The second Northern Expedition was Hongwu five years. After a certain degree of recuperation, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty began to commit crimes in the south again. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng to lead [-] troops each, and divided them into three northern expeditions. Da and Li Wenzhong led troops to take Helin, the gathering place of the remnants of the Northern Yuan forces, while Feng Sheng sent troops to Gansu to attract the attention of the Yuan army.As a result, in this battle, Xu Da of the Central Route Army was defeated, Li Wenzhong of the East Route Army had equal gains and losses, and only Feng Sheng of the West Route Army achieved certain results.

It is precisely because this time that Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Bei Yuan is still very powerful, so after this defeat, Zhu Yuanzhang went through eight years of cultivation.

That is, the third Northern Expedition was carried out in the 13th year of Hongwu. In order to attack Beiyuan Guogong Tuohuochi and Privy Council Aizu who were stationed in Helin, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xipinghou Muying to lead the Shaanxi Ming Army to the Northern Expedition. After detecting the movement of the Yuan army, he rushed seven days and nights to launch a surprise attack on the Yuan army. The Yuan army hurriedly fought and was defeated, and both Chi and Aizu were captured.

The fourth Northern Expedition was the 14th year of Hongwu. In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Naierbuhua invaded the south. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Tang He, and Fu Youde to lead the army. The troops were divided into two groups to launch the Northern Expedition.

The fifth Northern Expedition took place in the 17th year of Hongwu. Thousands of households in the North Yuanhai Road also first Timur rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. Liu Lin, a hundred households, led his troops to suppress the rebellion and died in battle. There are nearly 2 people including Timur and Wu Guogong.

The sixth Northern Expedition was the first month of the 20th year of Hongwu. Naha, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, came out with hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied the area north of the Songhua River, posing a great threat to the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. After the threat to the north of the Ming Dynasty was basically lifted , Zhu Yuanzhang took Feng Sheng as the general who conquered the captives, and Fu Youde and Lan Yu as the deputy generals, led an army of 20 to conquer Nahachu, and finally defeated his troops, forcing Nahachu to surrender. Liaodong has since become the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

The seventh Northern Expedition was in September of the 20th year of Hongwu. In order to completely disintegrate the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that had been repeatedly attacked and retreated northward, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Lan Yu to lead 15 troops to the Northern Expedition again. Timur was in the north of Yuyuerhai, so he led his troops to launch a surprise attack. The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty rushed to fight and were defeated. More than 7 people were captured, and another 8000 horses, more than [-] camels, [-] cattle and sheep, more than [-] vehicles, as well as Beiyuan seals, books, gold and silver seals, etc. were captured. Although Timur escaped, he was hanged and killed by Ye Sudie'er soon after, and the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty completely collapsed.

The eighth Northern Expedition was in the 23rd year of Hongwu. After the death of Tuo Gusi Timur, various parts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fell apart, and many tribes went south to harass them again. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Jin Wang Zhu Yan and Yan Wang Zhu Di to divide into two northern expeditions. Yan Wang Zhu Di defeated and forced Taiwei Naier Buhua to surrender, but Jin Wang Zhu Di had nothing to gain. This shows Yan Wang Zhu Di's ability to lead troops.

The ninth Northern Expedition took place in March of the 24th year of Hongwu. After the death of Togusi Timur, Mongolia continued to divide and conquer, and many Mongolian tribes went south to surrender. Many tribes rebelled again, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde to lead Guo Ying and others to crusade against them. The battle lasted for several months and many gains were made.

The tenth Northern Expedition took place in September of the 24th year of Hongwu. In August of that year, Hami invaded the border. The governors Song Sheng and Liu Zhen were ordered to lead troops to attack Hami and captured more than a thousand people including its prince Bie Bieqi.

No. The 11th Northern Expedition was in the 25th year of Hongwu. After killing Tugusi Timur, Yesudieer established himself as the emperor of the whole Mongolia. During the crusade, under the continuous pursuit of the Ming army, the Yuan army suffered heavy losses.

No.12 The Northern Expedition was in the 28th year of Hongwu. The Ming Dynasty conquered the land of Liaodong. Seeing that the Ming army was powerful, all the local tribes joined them one after another. Harassment.In that year, Zhou Xing and others led their troops to Kaiyuanwei. Knowing that Xiyangha was in the black pine forest, they ordered the Ming army to attack everywhere. But when the Ming army arrived, they found that Xiyangha had already crossed the Songhua River. Had to return without success.

No. 13 times: In March of the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that there was a Beiyuan army in the north of Daningwei, so he ordered Zhu Di to lead his troops to Daning, defeated the Beiyuan army, and captured Suolin Timur and other dozens of people. And pursued all the way to Wuliang Hatu City, and defeated the Northern Yuan general Harawu.

During the reign of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, although he launched as many as thirteen Northern Expeditions, except for the proactive attack in the early stage with the intention of completely disintegrating the Northern Yuan rule and solving the border troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the later Northern Expeditions were actually more motivated by Defensive in nature, it is a punitive attack on the border disturbances of Mongolian ministries.

In addition, among the thirteen Northern Expeditions, except for the seventh "Battle of Yuerhai", most of them revolved around the northern border of the Ming Dynasty and did not go deep into the grasslands. , expelling Beiyuan from the Monan area, which relieved the pressure on the northern frontier to a certain extent, but did not cause a devastating blow to the various tribes of Mongolia.

But fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang knew how to recuperate, and he didn't exhaust the water, so although he launched thirteen Northern Expeditions, there were only a few large-scale ones.

So what Zhu Biao said was very pertinent, but Bai Lixiu also said:
"That being said, there is no way to completely wipe out the Huns on the grassland with such small fights. Of course, if the prince can let the emperor of Ming Dynasty adopt my method, not only can the Huns be completely wiped out, but also the vast grassland can be included in the Ming Dynasty. The territory! It is not impossible to even surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

In the middle of Bailixiu's words, she looked at the screen behind the living room calmly!

Therefore, in Bailixiu's perception, someone has already come behind the screen. Obviously, this person is probably the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty.
