Chapter 114 My Tiger Son
Eight hundred miles urgent?A great victory in Yunnan?

All the civil and military officials in the court were quiet, some had puzzled and confused expressions on their faces, and a few familiar people looked at each other in disbelief.

But no one was excited or happy.

This is obviously the good news of a great victory.

Not only is it a good news, it is a great victory.

Why is there silence in the entire court?

In fact, there is a reason for this.

It turned out that although Mu Ying knew that the situation in Yunnan was urgent before, she did not dare to send an emergency report that was eight hundred miles away. This resulted in a time difference and information gap.

Equivalent to Mu Ying's subsequent eight-hundred-mile expedited message, which was the successful report of the Yunnan victory at this time, it had not been five days since his previous information.

Not to mention five days, not even three days.

We were talking about Yunnan being in crisis earlier, but now we are talking about a great victory?

Which one should I believe?
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who reacted and said: "Summon."

That is the meaning of summoning.

Immediately a young eunuch ran outside, and not long after, he sent an order and summoned a dusty post rider who followed him to the court.

However, as a Yiqi, he naturally did not have the qualifications or opportunity to meet Emperor Hongwu in person. He did not even come in. Instead, he knelt down and waited outside the main hall of the court.

The little eunuch took a thick memorial from the post rider and was secretly surprised. It was almost like a book.

He did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly trotted to the vicinity of Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair, and first offered it to the eunuch manager with both hands, and then the manager came and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang put the memorial on the case.

I need to make a digression here. Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair is different from those in movies and TV series. There is no copywriting in front of him, but a wide case is set on the deputy of the dragon chair.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting directly facing the courtiers, so that he could clearly see the expression changes or small movements of everyone below.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also had to bear tremendous pressure from Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and seemed to be a little cautious as he opened the first page of the memorial.

It's funny to say it, but what Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about is whether this is a good news or a situation that Yunnan has already lost, which is the most unacceptable situation.

Or, has Zhu Zhen died in Yunnan?Did Mu Ying gather an army to block Silunfa's troops?

Whether it was Zhu Yu's failure or Yunnan's failure, it was not what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw Mu Ying's handwriting, and he raised his hand and slapped the case with a loud bang.

All civil and military officials in the court were startled, and even lowered their heads, secretly exclaiming, "Did Yunnan be lost?"

Even Xu Da raised his head. At this time, he was the only one who dared to raise his head to carefully observe the changes in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. Even Lan Yu and Fu Youde lowered their heads.

Xu Da paid attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, but found that Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry or annoyed?

Even after Zhu Yuanzhang trembled all over, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, I have a tiger son, and the Silunfa traitor has been destroyed."

what?
Everyone was shocked, and the first thing that came to their mind was, it's impossible.

"Impossible," I don't know if someone was so shocked that they accidentally said what they were thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly lowered his head and looked at the person who shouted the impossible words with a calm expression, but said nothing more.

Others were secretly sweating.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is already old, the older he gets, the more no one dares to offend Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty.

Again, even Li Shanchang, the first hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China, was executed by his family last year. Who dares to compare with Li Shanchang?Aren't you afraid of death?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste any time. He directly picked up the memorial and threw it down, saying, "Xu Da, come and read it." Xu Daxin said, was this good or bad?Why just throw it down?

However, he quickly bent down to pick up the memorial and held it in his hands. He was shocked just by reading the content on the first page.

"Your Majesty, this," Xu Da raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

The literal content is really too scary and fantasy. If he hadn't recognized that it was Mu Ying's handwriting, Xu Da would have lost his composure and not believed it was true.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I don't think Mu Ying dares to lie to us, right?"

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang believed in Mu Ying. He would rather distrust Zhu Ming than trust Mu Ying.

And this was written by Mu Ying herself, so after Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked at first, he was very happy to take pictures of the dragon case, and threw his head up and laughed again, which can be said to be a little abnormal.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had not been so happy for a long time, Prince Zhu Biao came to Xu Da's side curiously and looked at the memorial.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw this, Zhu Biao was shocked at first, and then he turned his head and knelt down, shouting: "Father, my eighteenth brother actually wiped out the two rebels, Silunfa and Aziz?"

Eighteenth brother?Min Wang Zhu Xun?And completely destroyed?

Just a few keywords caused some commotion in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang also showed a proud expression again, and said dissatisfiedly to Xu Da: "Xu Da? Are you too old-sighted? Why don't you read quickly?"

Xu Da smiled bitterly, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was complaining about his procrastination and wanted to let the civil and military officials of the court know the content of the victory report as soon as possible, so as to save them from being suspicious.

So Xu Da no longer delayed, coughed slightly and began to recite: "Long live my emperor, I wish you holy peace."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be greatly comforted and said: "Good morning."

This is a very common greeting from a courtier to the emperor in a memorial.

If the eunuch delivers the edict, he will say "Sheng Gong'an", which means the emperor is in good health.

Here Zhu Yuanzhang answered the question himself and said hello.

These are all trivial matters. Everyone is looking at Xu Da, waiting for the next content.

Xu Da did not whet his appetite any more, and then said something astonishing: "My minister Mu Ying has been favored by His Majesty for a long time, and he should have guarded the peace of Yunnan, so as to live up to the emperor's favor. However, Silun rebelled against the traitors and attacked Jingjing first. Dong forced the chieftain Otao to retreat and fled to Baiyachuan, and then took advantage of Ming Dynasty's unpreparedness to continue to invade Dingbian."

"My minister Mu Ying neglected his duties and did not dare to act rashly. However, His Highness King Min was wise and powerful. He led fifty thousand kings and guards to send troops from Dali City that night. Although they did not attack Huanglong directly, they lost several camps overnight and cut off countless people. There were as many as 14 enemy troops, which severely dampened the vigor of the thieves."

"Then King Min led his ministers and others to merge into one place, a total of 15 people, and launched a full-scale decisive battle with the enemy at the foot of Kunming City. They even annihilated Silunfa's 16-strong army and captured 20 prisoners."

"The thieves led by Silunfa and Aziz have been defeated. Your Highness personally investigated the crimes and captured all the rebellious chieftains, big and small, and completely conquered the hearts and minds of the 20 natives."

"Your Highness is mighty. Yunnan has been pacified in this battle. No chieftain tribe dares to cause chaos anymore. There will be no more wars in Yunnan."

This is the first page of the memorial. You can tell from the thickness that Mu Ying only told the general outline and results of the incident, and later described the entire Yunnan battle in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with great excitement: "I didn't expect that that bastard could actually be quite capable of commanding? There will be no more wars in Yunnan in this battle. It's a great good thing."

Civil and military officials throughout the court knelt down and shouted long live.

Only Xu Da curiously looked at the content at the back of the memorial and found out that what Mu Ying said was actually true?Moreover, Mu Ying also described Zhu Min's entire marching and combat process in great detail.

But Xu Da raised his head in surprise and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, His Royal Highness King Min seems to be only 12 years old this year?"

The court hall suddenly became silent again.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da dumbfounded. Even he wanted to forget that he, the eighteenth son, was only 12 years old now.

The 12-year-old feudal king defeated 15 enemies with 50 troops?

If this memorial was written by Zhu Zhen himself, Zhu Yuanzhang might not even believe it to be true, because the difference in military strength was so huge and Zhu Zhen's record was so amazing.
