Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 239 He is too anxious
"Arutai, right?"

Zhu Ming looked at the grassland man in front of him, hesitated, and said, "How about I chop you down?"

Arutai was immediately shocked and exclaimed: "Prince Daming, don't you want me to surrender? We can surrender. Today's Great Khan of the Grassland is foolish and foolish. Not only did he kill his own brother, but he also took the pregnant His sister-in-law was included in the account and became his wife. This kind of thing is intolerable even on our grassland."

Zhu Ming had heard Shen Rong talk about this matter, and it seemed that it was because of this incident that he incurred the dissatisfaction of the tribes near the pass.

"Moreover, he also appointed Batula (Mahamu), the son of Haohai Dayu, as the prime minister and ordered him to command the four tribes of Wala. This made the great lord of Wala, Ugeqi Hashiha, deeply dissatisfied. So he rebelled against the Great War in anger. sweat."

"My lord Bo'er Zhijinyuelu Timur (Gui Lichi's real name) is an ancestral son of Wokuotai concubine (Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty), so naturally he cannot sit idly by and ignore it. As long as the Ming Dynasty court is willing to send troops to help my lord put down the chaos in the grassland, we will Willing to be a vassal and pay tribute."

Arutai panicked. Regardless of whether he was greedy for life or afraid of death, the key was that he saw a glimmer of opportunity and hope from the identity revealed by Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen, on the other hand, had another idea.

Subconsciously raising his legs, Zhu Zhen put a hand on his chin and gently rubbed the smooth skin without a beard. He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

He heard it from the news revealed by Arutai.

Today's grassland is really in complete chaos.

It seems that Beiyuan has completely perished, and the grassland forces will also be divided.

Although Zhu Chu didn't know much about Mongolian history, he could still tell.

The current Great Khan of the Grasslands is Elbek, who has caused a lot of dissatisfaction because of his various tricks.

In particular, the great lord of Navarre, Ugqi Hashha, has declared rebellion.

As for Arutai and Guilichi, also known as Yuelu Timur, they actually belong to the Tatar tribe.

In Arutai's words, Guilichi is the legal heir, so how dare you, Ugeqi Hashiha, to rebel?

Similarly, the Tatar tribe was also deeply dissatisfied with the Great Khan, so they planned to take the opportunity to seize power in the grassland.

On the contrary, the Great Khan is now sitting on wax and has to pay the price for what he has done.

Now neither the Oara tribe nor the Tatar tribe are convinced by him, and now it has become a conflict between the Oara tribe and the Tatar tribe.

Everyone wants to gain power and become the new overlord of the grassland.

Zhu Ming winked at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu immediately understood and asked people to take Arutai down.

"Everyone, this is a God-given opportunity for us," Zhu Zhen said excitedly.

Tang Jie was the first to nod in agreement and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I didn't expect that conflicts would break out among the tribes in the grassland. In this way, Ningxia Town can repair the city wall calmly."

"Can you put aside your broken city wall first?" Zhu Zhen said angrily: "You only want to repair the city wall? And then wait until the day they come to capture it? Are you kidding me?"

Tang Jie was stunned, what else could he do?
"Attack, take the initiative. The grassland is in chaos, and they themselves are going to be divided. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to drive them all out? Wei Qing and Huo Qubing can drive the Huns to the depths of Mobei, can't I drive these Tatars Drive out of the grassland?" Zhu Zhen stood up, opened his hands, and expressed his ambition.

The four commanders in the room took a deep breath.

Drive people out of the grassland?

God, do you know how big the grassland is?Moreover, people have lived on the grassland for generations.

Do you know why the past dynasties have been helpless against these grassland nomads?
Because the grassland is so big, once they want to hide, they can come and go like the wind, and they can't be caught or found.

Once the war is delayed for too long, there will be problems with the supply of the army, and in the end they will have to return without success.

The reason why Lan Yu's military exploits were outstanding was because he somehow found the fishing sea, which happened to be the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at that time. As a result, Lan Yu captured them all in one fell swoop.

In fact, until now, no one knows how Lan Yu did it. At that time, the Ming army had lost contact with the court. Who would have thought that when they got the news about Lan Yu again, this guy had already smashed most of the Beiyuan army to pieces. Even the royal family at that time was arrested.

Why are the positions of the Great Khan so intricately interchanged now?

For example, as a descendant of Ali Buge, Yesudiel took over the throne of the descendants of Kublai Khan. However, as Yesudiel and his son Enke died suddenly, the current Great Khan Elbek was actually freed from the throne. The second son of Gustimur, and Gustimur was the one who was exhausted to death by Yesudier with a bowstring.

It is equivalent to saying that the throne of Khan has returned to the hands of the descendants of Kublai Khan.

Yesudier's work was all in vain, as both father and son were short-lived.

But since the battle of Yuerhai, the Northern Yuan royal family has suffered heavy losses, and now Elbek has lost the support of the people, which will lead to chaos in the grassland.

Once the bloodline of the Golden Family is cut off, wouldn't anyone be able to become the Great Khan?

But Zhu Chu actually wanted to drive people out of the grassland, which was too exaggerated.

Even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty existed in name only, it was about to split into a period in which Oara and Tatar were in charge of their own affairs.

That's not something you can just deal with with more than 1 people.

"I think this matter is of great importance, so we should ask the imperial court and His Majesty's will," Tang Jie said conservatively.

Even Peng Yue and others looked solemn.

They all know that this matter is very important, but the more it is, the less they dare to make the decision easily.

"You are really as cowardly as a mouse," Zhu Zhen was so angry that he wanted to yell: "The so-called success is now. Will there be such a good opportunity in the future? If you miss this opportunity, God will punish you."

"If this were in my fiefdom, I would have led an army across the territory."

When he was in Yunnan, wasn't it just that he was extremely happy fighting in the north and south?
But now these commanders have actual military power, which makes Zhu Ming feel helpless.

"Your Highness, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet," Tang Jie advised.

As a result, Zhu Chu broke the defense on the spot. Did you do it on purpose?Or are you also a time traveler?
Of course, Tang Jie is not a time traveler, but the atmosphere just happens to be here. Seeing that Zhu Zhen is so anxious, he still advises him not to worry.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved," Zhu Chu waved his sleeves and left.

It's a pity that his python robe has been scrapped, and now he only wears the clothes and armor of ordinary Ming soldiers, which are not even as gorgeous as those commanders, so the effect of rolling his sleeves is not very good.

Wang Fu and a group of guards naturally followed closely behind.

Tang Jie and the others looked at each other, then smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dian is brave and decisive, and extremely resourceful. From just a few words of Alutai, we can analyze the current situation in the grassland. It can be said that this is indeed a great opportunity for us," Tang Jie is older after all. Da, commonly known as senior, spoke up at this time and praised Zhu Chu very much.

"But it's a pity that His Highness is only the vassal king after all," Niu Sheng said suddenly.

"Silence," Qian Shu was shocked. This guy really dared to say anything.

What a pity it’s just a feudal king?What's the meaning?Is this a pity?Isn’t that a pity?Could it be?
Several people didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Peng Yue coughed dryly and said, "In any case, this matter is serious and must be reported to His Majesty."

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted: "Oh no, His Royal Highness the King of Dian has gathered troops, captured [-] war horses, and is leading [-] soldiers to rush outside the city. .”

Because the battlefield had just been cleaned and the people in the city had not returned yet, the entire army was concentrated in the city.

After Zhu Chu came out of the government office, he looked at the soldiers on the street, and after thinking about it, he didn't even talk to a few commanders, and he actually commanded the troops to take action.

The four commanders were all shocked. Is there such a showy operation?
Your Highness, do you want the entire army to mutiny?

Are you going to rebel?
"No, if His Highness is allowed to act like this, once the news reaches His Majesty, not only will we be guilty of dereliction of duty, but His Highness will also be guilty of transgression. We must stop His Highness," Tang Jie exclaimed and hurried outside.

But at this time, the streets were deserted. How could there be any sign of the 5000 troops before?
"Where are the people?" Tang Jie roared: "Where are the people who were crowded before?"

Peng Yue and the other three people who followed behind rolled their eyes. Do you want to make your dislike of us more obvious?

Someone with Tang Jie nearby said with a complicated expression: "His Highness has led the troops out of the city, and he also took away the captive Arutai. His Highness also asked us to tell some adults that he was just going to take Arutai first. The tribe of others has been conquered, so don’t worry yet.”

You actually said I'm anxious but don't be anxious first?
Let’s see who is anxious this time.

I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet.Zhu Zhen's counterattack came too quickly.

"What should we do now?" Peng Yue asked Tang Jie.

"How about we catch up and follow His Highness to kill together," Niu Sheng said with anticipation.

"Shut up, are we following His Highness in the rebellion?" Qian Shu was already going crazy. This Niu Sheng is just like a cow, doesn't he have a brain?

Does the vassal king have the power to command the army?They had been able to persist for so many years under the hands of King Qin Zhu Ping. Isn't it because even King Qin Zhu Ping did not dare to act too wantonly.

Otherwise, they would not be able to continue their work long ago.

Therefore, it can be said that Zhu Zhen was not just a trespasser, but more serious, he could even be said to have rebelled.

"I can only play it to Your Majesty," Tang Jie sighed. What else could he do now?

So the four major commanders had no choice but to go back to the government office and jointly wrote a memorial, asking the Yiqi to rush to the capital at full speed.

Moreover, when this post cavalry was passing through Xi'an, they met Xu Miaojin head-on.

Xu Miaojin was so anxious now that she went into battle lightly. She just focused on her journey and rushed from Yingtian to Xi'an in about three days.

At this time, it was only a week since Zhu Chu finished the battle in Ningxia Town.

I'm afraid she will be able to reach Ningxia Town in three days, or even none at all.

"Zhu Miao, if you dare to die first, I will never spare you. Even if it is the underworld, I will chase you." Xu Miaojin gritted his teeth and only showed his identity as Wei Guogong's daughter at the Xi'an Station to provide some simple supplies, and then went again On the road.

The last time she ran away from marriage and ran away from home, she spent all her money because of gluttony, and ended up being trapped in Hongdu, where she almost starved to death.

But this time, she only carried three to five days' rations with her, which was hard dry food, and only a few bags of water. She had traveled such a long way, eating and sleeping in the open.

If she had rushed to Yunnan with such momentum, she might have arrived long ago.

And although Xu Miaojin is alone, she is not afraid of the possibility of being threatened by bandits. It is better to say that she is wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and there are weapons hanging on the left and right sides of the horse's belly. Even if a bandit does encounter it, she should be worried about the safety of the bandit. yes.

Then Xu Miaojin continued to set off quickly from Xi'an and headed straight for Ningxia Town.

A few days later, when the court received the report from Tang Jie and others, Zhu Yuanzhang almost fainted on the spot.

"This bastard, what did he do? He actually went deep into the outside of the Great Wall alone?" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious in the court, and shouted: "You are a traitor, you are a traitor, you are a traitor, you are a traitor."

The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty had different expressions, especially the faces of many civil servants, who showed joy.

Your Majesty finally realized the arrogance and misdeeds of the King of Dian, and your Majesty finally decided to punish the King of Dian.

Some people were even moved to tears.

I remembered that Zhu Zhen once pointed his nose at them in the court and scolded them as dogs and unruly people. He even said that they all deserved to be killed.

Let’s see who deserves to die this time.

Even Zhu Yunwen was excited and was about to speak.

But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang curse angrily for a while, he turned around and rushed to Xu Da: "Where is Feng Sheng? Where is Fu Youde? Where are they? Send someone to inform them, go directly to the outside of the customs, and find that brat for me. Come, there must be no mistakes.”

Xu Da has been getting better in the past few days, but his expression is not as good as before. Especially when he learned that Xu Miaojin was going to find Zhu Chu, he almost lost his temper and went westward like this.

When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he frowned and said, "But Your Majesty, how can we raise troops and food in such a hurry?"

"You know it too," Zhu Yuanzhang said in an ugly tone: "But how come that bastard doesn't understand? The soldiers and horses have not yet moved the food and grass. What's more, he only has 5000 troops and no logistical supplies of food, grass and baggage. What is he going to do? Fighting? He is going to die."

"No matter how desperate Bei Yuan is, even if the grassland tribes are divided. But the skinny camels are bigger than horses. Even I have to hesitate again and again to send troops to Bei Zheng outside the Great Wall. I also have to worry about mobilizing troops, so I can only do it every few years. That’s why we had this plan.”

"But Xu Da, look at it, is this something a human can do? I won't be able to spare him when he comes back."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry.

The Northern Expedition beyond the Great Wall was a major event. How could we not mobilize troops and mobilize the masses?
Even if it is not supported by the whole country, it requires careful preparation for a long time and requires raising a large amount of manpower and material resources. Not only does it require a huge army, but also countless supplies, among which food and grass are the top priority.

Because the grassland tribes come and go like the wind, once the army cannot find the enemy, it will travel to the grassland.

But the question is, if the troops eat horse chews, don’t they need a lot of food and grass?

This brat is the ultimate bastard.

"Xu Da, tell us, can this kid come back alive?" When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his heart was bleeding and his hands were trembling.

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in confusion. Listening to this, it seems that Your Majesty has no intention of sanctioning and punishing the King of Dian?Why are you still worried about the safety of the Dian King?
Xu Da thought for a while and said: "Judging from the meaning expressed by Commander Tang Jie and others, His Highness should be planning to use the captive Arutai as a guide to first find the tribe of Arutai and others, and then kill them all in one go. .As long as we use some means to make Arutai submit, we should be able to conquer many tribes soon."

"In this way, there is no need to worry about the supply problem of His Highness's troops. As long as His Highness does not take advantage of the situation, he will be able to return to Ningxia Town with a large amount of loot within a few days."

"So don't worry, Your Majesty. Maybe you will get good news in a few days."

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xu Da's analysis, he took a breath and his expression became much more relaxed.

"You said you want us not to be anxious? Xu Da, Xu Da, you don't know him. That bastard is exactly the same as us. Before the Battle of Poyang Lake, when they heard that Chen Youliang was going to fight us, many people were frightened. I have to be frightened and uneasy."

"Some people even tried to persuade us to surrender, and some wanted us to flee to Zhongshan. But we never thought that we would lose to Chen Youliang, so we relied on Liu Ji's strategy and the bravery of all the soldiers in the army. Below, there are hundreds of rooms (Li Shanchang’s cousin).”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paused, and the civil and military officials also had different expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lonely, and then said: "In the battle of Poyang Lake, our Ming army defeated the Han army and wiped out Chen Youliang in this battle. He still wants to be emperor? How worthy is he?"

At this time, although Zhu Yuanzhang was old, he was still high-spirited, as if he had returned to the days when he was riding a horse to conquer the world.

Moreover, Chen Youliang can be regarded as a tycoon of his generation and a prince.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, he didn't take it seriously at all.

This is the magnanimity of an emperor.

So what if Chen Youliang's power once far exceeded that of Zhu Yuanzhang?
In the end, it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who established the Ming Dynasty.

After taking a breath, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again and said slowly: "Xu Da, Xu Da, do you know what we are most worried about now?"

The whole civil and military court was completely silent. No one dared to interrupt at this time. They only listened to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers.

Xu Da said without thinking, "Your Majesty is worried that His Highness will continue to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland, and will take this opportunity to wipe out all the grassland tribes in one fell swoop, and even kill the current grassland Khan with his own hands."

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Is the King of Dian so fierce?

But Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "My tiger son looks like me and is my son. Unfortunately, he looks too much like me. This is not the decisive battle of Poyang Lake. Why are you anxious? We have the entire Ming Dynasty to back him up. , why the rush? Even if we are given three to five months, if he is really so determined, what if we give him an army of 50?"

Zhu Yunwen raised his head, his eyes full of shock, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

Grandpa Huang, I am the Crown Prince.

But if the King of Dian is given an army of 50, you might as well personally direct him on how to rebel.

Even if Yingtian is the capital master, the imperial forest army can only be considered as twelve guards.

The imperial army of the Ming Dynasty was divided into the Beijing Camp that guarded the capital and the Shangzhi 26 Guards Guards that guarded the imperial city. However, when the Shangzhi 26 Guards Guards were first established, they originally had only twelve guards, but they were restructured and expanded to 26 guards after Yongle.

There are five houses for one guard, which means more than 5000 people.

It is equivalent to say that the twelve guards are an establishment of 8 to [-] people.

An army of 50, good fellow, Uncle Eighteen, just launch the Xuanwumen Revolution. This prince is not the right one.
