The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 235 Zhu Yuanzhang’s identity was exposed by Wang Baobao, and Mr. Ye praised the emperor as comparable to a smelly ditch!
At this moment, Ye Qing remembered the battle report that came back from the East Gate battlefield.

General Chen clearly pointed out in the battle report that it was Mr. Guo's idea to send back the more than 1000 frightened heavy infantrymen.

There was no such number one general on the Ximen battlefield. General Wang, the commander of Nie Yingwei who was the commander-in-chief of the defense, went out of his way to kill even the defeated general.

"Not to mention, Mr. Guo is really quite capable!"

"People who have hung out with Zhu Yuanzhang are just different. Their hearts are dirtier than a smelly ditch!"

"."

Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly felt a bit like him, and even recorded a contribution for General Guo Shen in his credit book.

It's one thing for his family to be rich, but he, Ye Qing, must distinguish rewards and punishments!
When the war is over and he is asked to get out, he will still be rewarded!
This credit is not insignificant. With more than 1000 frightened Beiyuan soldiers returning alive to spread panic, Wang Baobao must have a sad face.

It is impossible to kill more than 1000 people in the army. If he dares to do this, he will lose without fighting.

But if he wanted these people to stay alive and shut up, and to completely eliminate the influence of panic in the army, he would definitely not be able to do it within five or six days.

If he can do it in five or six days, it must be considered that Wang Baobao has the ability!
Therefore, they had another five or six days to have a good sleep, and they also succeeded in delaying the time and reducing casualties!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing went directly to his private bathroom. He must take a bath tonight and then sleep peacefully.

In the bathroom, Ye Qing Anxin took a bath in the wooden barrel and closed his eyes to relax.

At the same time, his opponent was being besieged by the generals of the Beiyuan army from the east and west.

Six miles outside the central gate of Yanmen Pass, there were many soldiers standing outside the commander's tent of the main army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In the eyes of the soldiers, the bright pearl light directly caused everything inside to be projected on the tent cloth like a shadow puppet show.

They only saw a dozen big men holding scimitars, surrounding the commander's tent, and they all asked Wang Baobao for an explanation.

A general with naturally curly hair and a beard pointed at Wang Baobao's nose and roared: "Expanded Timur, you bastard!"

"I just said that you have been losing to Xu Da, how could you win last year?"

"It must have been a conspiracy with Xu Da. Xu Da must have lost to you on purpose so that you could build up your prestige and then bring us together and lose everything here."

"Then, you can comfortably become a relative of Ming Dynasty!"

Immediately afterwards, one after another generals began to use Wang Baobao's sister Guanyinnu (Wang's family) to marry Qin Wang Zhu Ping.

It was precisely because of this relationship that they talked more and more enthusiastically, and even said that he only remembered his Han name Wang Baobao, but not his Mongolian name Timur.

At the end of the conversation, they even pulled out a small amount of the scimitars from their waists.

Seeing this scene, Nai'er Buhua immediately protected Wang Baobao and put his hand on the scimitar at his waist.

Next to Nai'er Buhua, Wang Baobao, who was still sitting firmly on the throne, still had a calm expression on his face, showing no sign of anger.

Because it’s really no wonder these leaders and generals from various tribes!
After all, it was their clansmen who died. After all, they lost too completely. They just threw huge sums of money into the pool and couldn't even hear a sound!

He, Wang Baobao, had been defeated many times in his life, but he had never been defeated so completely.

Coupled with the in-law relationship between him and Zhu Yuanzhang, suspicion is really the appropriate reaction!

But even so, he couldn't let them doubt him at this moment, let alone let these generals bring their doubts about him back to the east and west armies.

In order to quickly eliminate the suspicion, he directly asked Nai'er Buhua to call his personal soldiers in.

Then, he looked at the first person among the generals to call him a bastard.

He just made a gesture of wiping his neck, and two soldiers attacked the general at the same time, and then dragged him out.

These generals, who were also leaders in various grassland tribes, were immediately stunned.

They never expected that His Highness King Qi, who usually loved soldiers as much as his son, would actually kill people in front of them, and he did so calmly.

"You, you actually killed the son of the Great Khan of the Torgut Tribe?" (Torghut Tribe: one of the four major tribes of the Oara in the later period)

"."

Wang Baobao looked at the generals who stared wide-eyed but dared not speak out. He just said seriously: "I killed the generals who disturbed the morale of our army. I was practicing military law. I was right."

"I suggest that the generals sit down and listen to what I have to say for a few words before deciding whether to continue to doubt me."

The generals were very unconvinced, but they still released their scimitars from their waists and sat down cross-legged in front of Wang Baobao.

"You also know that I have sent spies many times to investigate Yanmen's military situation, but found nothing."

"I also believe that your people have also dealt with Ye Qing's special agent team, and they will probably never return and gain nothing!"

"Even if you have never interacted with him, the businessmen of your tribe should have told you about this magistrate who made Yanmen County rich in just three years!"

"What is his special agent brigade protecting? It's these cannons he made privately, which made us completely defeated in the first battle!"

"I didn't know about this cannon beforehand, and you didn't know about it either?"

"So, please believe me. Next time I go to war, I will definitely be able to formulate tactics that can effectively target his cannons."

"As for the identity of this king, there is no need to doubt it."

"When we were defeated, my sister did not have time to escape, so she fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. He did this to win over me, but also to make you doubt me."

"What, do you want to fulfill Emperor Zhu's wish?"

"."

Finally, the generals of the east and west armies stood up and once again gave Wang Baobao a standard Mongolian and Yuan military salute before leaving one by one.

After Nai'er Buhua made sure that all the generals had left, he asked: "Your Majesty, are they really no longer suspicious? Why do I feel that they are still somewhat suspicious!"

In his eyes, Wang Baobao was just looking at the landmark of the county government in the sand table, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

Wang Baobao said in a low voice: "My words will certainly not completely eliminate their doubts, but I am also willing to give me another chance."

At this point, Wang Baobao just closed his eyes and said sadly: "Do you know what the Central Plains Dynasty wants us to do most and what we are most worried about?"

Nai'er Buhua shook his head and said, "I don't know the end."

Wang Baobao sighed and said: "For thousands of years, what they hope most is that we will not be united and continue to fight against each other as tribes, and we will not be able to grow bigger."

"But they don't want us to give birth to a great hero who can unify the grassland while we are attacking each other!"

"After Genghis Khan, there has never been such a figure. Now I have become such a figure, but this kind of unity is short-lived and can be broken at a glance!"

"The reason why I can unite all the ministries again is because Xu Da and Ye Qing have helped a lot."

"Last year, I defeated Xu Da, and now I have the prestige to unite all tribes!"

"And Yanmen County under Ye Qing's rule is a piece of fat that they all want to take a bite of. They followed me here. Do they only want to recover Dayuan and then fight back?" "I'm afraid most people , all I want to do is get a share of the pie and make a fortune!"

Having said this, Wang Baobao looked at the landmark of the county government and became expectant again: "This Ye Qing is really a talent. He knows the current situation of the tribes in the grassland. He wants to use his sudden cannon to crush Their trust in me."

"Now, if I want to regain their absolute trust and even make them regain their determination to fight back to the Central Plains, the only way is victory!"

"It must be an overwhelming victory!"

"So, this king has one and only one chance, a chance to fight for the kingdom!"

When Nai'er Buhua heard this, she knelt down on one knee, hit her left chest hard with her right hand, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you say how to fight, I will follow you forever!"

Wang Baobao didn't speak in a hurry, he just stood up and helped Nai'er up and said, "I'm impatient and can't eat hot tofu."

"Let's go out for a walk with this king!"

Under the full moon and stars,

Wang Baobao looked at the lights above the city gate and said, "Have you noticed that there are experts on the battlefield at the east gate of Yanmen Pass?"

Wang Baobao looked at Nai'er Buhua, who looked confused, and gave him a look that said, "You're still good enough to learn." He stopped being pretentious.

He continued: "The news coming back from the Ximen battlefield is that the entire army was wiped out and all fifteen thousand soldiers were lost. But for this kind of defeat, this is not a bad thing."

"Because the fleeing army will spread terror among the army, and the harm it will cause is unimaginable!"

"And the news coming back from the East Gate battlefield is that more than 1000 baggage soldiers came back alive. Their cannons can shoot so far. Can more than 1000 people really withdraw safely from the [-] steps outside the city?"

"Faced with a fleeing army, even without cannons, we can quickly annihilate them if we catch up!"

"When a war reaches a certain level, it's easy to become red-eyed, especially a completely victorious army, just like the generals at the Ximen Battlefield."

"But at the East Gate battlefield, they chose to let them back deliberately. Someone must have spoken in time to remind the guarding general when the soldiers were killing him."

"I have to say that this expert who was on the battlefield at the east gate really defeated my army. More than 1000 of my troops fled. It doesn't matter if I kill him or not."

"If you want to completely eliminate the impact, the only way is to sink the boat!"

"The spies in the pass reported that the official road to Yanmen County was destroyed due to floods, and Xu Da's army was forced to take a detour. It will not be able to come before November."

"It just so happens that during this period, our soldiers can eat and drink freely. Five months of military rations, cattle and sheep, can be eaten by me within one month."

"Nearly a month is enough time for them to forget about panic!"

"It will definitely snow at the end of October, and the military rations will be exhausted. The only way to survive is to fight through the customs. By then, people's will will be made of iron."

"Don't his cannons shoot far and have great power?"

"I have gathered together more than 20 troops and used them all to attack the central gate of Ma Pingchuan. Let's see how many of his cannons can kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baobao, with firm and cold eyes, decisively turned around and walked back to the camp.

Nai'er Buhua suddenly realized that this was a tactic of breaking the cauldron and adding a sea of ​​people. He was very motivated just by imagining that scene.

"Your Majesty, I will lead the charge when the time comes."

The next moment, Wang Baobao whipped his horse and said, "You are my direct descendant, is it your turn to lead the charge?"

"Just let the east and west armies come over and charge forward!"

"."

After returning to the commander's tent, Wang Baobao was still looking at the county government landmark on the sand table and thinking.

He just felt that this 'master' who reminded the general at the East Gate battlefield looked like an old acquaintance.

"Xu Da used his troops quite openly, and Marshal Zhu of the former Red Scarf Army used his troops."

Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head and smiled, indicating that he was overthinking.

How could the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang do such a stupid thing that involves his own body?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang's head was kicked by a donkey, it would be absolutely impossible!

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished washing and returned to the guest room, sneezed several times in a row.

Empress Ma asked with concern: "Chongba, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his nose and said, "Someone must be scolding us. It must be the boss who is scolding us while reviewing the memorial this late at night."

"This treacherous son scolds us after working hard for a while. Let's see how I deal with him when I get back."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked in the direction of Yingtian Mansion. He really missed his sons.

Of course, the main thing is to beat my son for fun.

"No, where did you get the feather duster?"

Empress Ma waved the feather duster in her hand and said, "I borrowed it from Miss Shen. It's okay. If you continue to say harsh words about beating the boss, I will continue to dust the table."

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and took away her feather duster, and then started talking about business.

Zhu Yuanzhang first talked about everything he saw on the battlefield today, and Empress Ma talked about everything he saw in the command room. After that, the two of them had a more three-dimensional understanding of Ye Qing's commanding ability.

At the same time, the two people also had relatively obvious looks of horror in their eyes.

And there was a hint of fear in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes!
In this way, Ye Qing's crime of "the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade" silently worsened in his heart!
And Queen Ma next to him also guessed the thoughts in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart that were not conducive to Ye Qing.

But again, there was nothing she could do to persuade his family on this matter!
What she can do now is to change the topic and talk about it after everything is over!
Empress Ma smiled softly again and said, "Chongba, as soon as you mentioned the boss, I felt that we should give him peace of mind."

Zhu Yuanzhang just held Queen Ma's hand and replied gently: "Sister, don't worry!"

"There is no need for us to report that we are safe. The people who reported that we are safe have already left the city."

"Boss, this kid was trained by us, he's reliable!"

"Not only will he have people watch the battle on the Great Wall, but he will also have soldiers and horses from Datong, Taiyuan, Pingyang, and Yan'an to be ready for nearby support at any time."

"As long as Yanmen Pass is in danger, they will come over before the city is broken."

"It's just that the result of this first battle was beyond everyone's expectations!"

"In a few days, Ye Qing will be remembered by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty because of this battle, especially his new Hongwu cannon, and he will become famous in one battle!"

"Not to mention, we really want to see the reaction of those guys when they find out about this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, his eyes full of expectation! .
