King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 198 Bet with Lan Yu, Ping Tongzhou
After the words fell, everyone was shocked.

"The Ming Dynasty went on the Northern Expedition again? How long has it been? How many people did they come this time? Who did they come for?"

Togu Si Timur said calmly: "20! They want to attack Jinshan!"

After the words fell, the expressions on everyone's faces were relaxed.

Jinshan, isn’t that in Liaodong?

It seems that Ming's first choice is Kaiyuan King Nahachu.

That's okay
Togu Si Timur looked at everyone's expressions with a sneer on his face.

snort!
Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has carried out so many Northern Expeditions, and most of the real heroes are already dead!

Those who survive are all cowards!

When they heard that the Ming army was attacking Nahachu during the Northern Expedition, there were actually some expressions of joy on their faces!
This is really unreasonable!

Togu Si Timur's face was full of anger and he slapped the seat next to him.

"Isn't Jinshan the land of our Dayuan, and isn't King Kaiyuan an official of our Dayuan? The Ming army came to fight our Dayuan! They didn't go to fight Naha! Can't you even recognize this?"

Everyone looked at Togu Si Timur with a shy expression on their faces.

There were also some people with deep thoughts who looked even more shocked.

They could not imagine how the once submissive and timid emperor suddenly looked like a descendant of Genghis Khan again.

In fact.

In these years, Togu Si Timur was also very painful.

Generally speaking, the successive emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were not very good.

Of course, the lifespan is also short.

Either die of alcoholism, coup, or assassination.

Counting from the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were actually 90 emperors in the short 11-year history. Among them, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, occupied it for 15 years, and Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuohuan Timur, occupied it for 35 years.

The remaining emperor will be replaced every three years.

It can be said that there are many foolish kings.

Emperor Yuan Shun was just an exception.

When he was young, he was exiled to a small island in Korea and was not even allowed to approach the mainland.

And when the political struggle in Yuanting ended, he miraculously became the emperor again.

After that, Emperor Yuan Shun endured for a long time, making full use of all the resources in his hands, and finally changed from a puppet emperor to an emperor with real power.

At that time, Emperor Yuan Shun was very high-spirited and wanted to work hard to revive the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the system of the Yuan Dynasty was really too weak, and the court's control over the entire place was extremely weak, and it could even be said that there was no control at all.

This also led to frequent natural and man-made disasters. No matter how capable Emperor Yuan Shun was, he would not be able to completely change all this in a short period of time.

In the end, the frustrated Emperor Yuan Shun chose to live in a state of intoxication.

Of course, his lie-down attitude eventually earned him the title of King of Subjugation.

Then Yuan Zhaozong spent his whole life fighting against the Ming Dynasty, hoping to use the last bit of information left by Yuan Ting to restore Mongolian rule over the Central Plains.

However, the final result was that almost everyone lost their home.

If Wang Baobao hadn't defeated Xu Da during the Ming army's fifth Northern Expedition, the Ming army would have suffered heavy losses.

I'm afraid Yuanting has long ceased to exist.

But in fact, from Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty to today's Tuogu Si Timur, three generations of people can be called wise.

It's just time and destiny.
This is where Togu Si Timur suffered.

Obviously he wanted to be a hero, but he never had the chance. He even had to be submissive and forbearing in order to get a chance to survive on this prairie.

Fortunately, today he finally had a chance to display his ambition.

Togu Si Timur walked to the middle of the big tent.

With a cold face, he looked calmly at every minister in front of him who had despised him before.

With the lessons learned from Ha Lazhang, no one dared to be rude to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in front of him.

Togu Si Timur's steady and deep voice echoed throughout the tent.

"Princes and ministers, I am a descendant of the Golden Family, the direct descendant of Genghis Khan, the co-owner of the prairie, and the master of this world!

Today, we, the Mongolian people, have ended up in such a situation, which has brought the illustrious military achievements of our ancestors to dust. This is really unfilial to our descendants!

We have all considered a remote place like Mobei, but Ming Dynasty still won’t let us go.
They are even still pressing us step by step, trying to turn our descendants of Genghis Khan into their servants. How can we tolerate this humiliation! "

His words were full of passion and power, and every word seemed to be tinged with fire.

"It's time to rise up and resist, for our freedom, for the freedom of our descendants, and for the supreme glory of our ancestors! We have to resist, because there is no retreat! If we retreat any further, we will be exterminated!
Today, I also tell you something.

The richest business gang in the Ming Dynasty was also the richest business gang in the Yuan Dynasty, the Shanxi merchants! They have become our strong backing and have sent us abundant supplies - ironware, tea bricks, salt and grain. This year, our people will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and can devote themselves to this war! "

He paused for a moment to let everyone digest the shocking news, and then continued:
"Shanxi merchants also brought us the Ming Dynasty's firearms, including muskets and artillery. Those firearms that once made us bleed and sweat have now become our help. What should we fear from the Ming Dynasty's army!?"

Togu Si Timur looked around and saw the excitement and anticipation on everyone's faces. He knew that the time had come.

"Today, I summoned the bravest tribes on the entire grassland. Our coalition forces have exceeded 200,000. Next, we will join forces with Kaiyuan King Naha, and the total strength will reach 500,000! The Ming army is only 200,000 strong. We will definitely win this battle!"

"With this battle, we will fight for a hundred years of peace for future generations! With this battle, we will make the Ming Dynasty no longer dare to look northward! After this battle, we will march southward and vow to recapture the capital of the Yuan Dynasty! That is our true home and our place of glory!”

The words of Togu Si Timur echoed in the tent, and every word struck people's hearts like a drum.

At this moment, Togu Si Timur finally became the master of the entire prairie, and finally regained the glory of being a descendant of the Golden Family. All the officials respected him!

soon.

Prime Minister Tuo Huochi knelt on one knee with one arm across his chest, looked at Tuogu Si Timur and said in reverence: "Your Majesty, I, Tuo Huochi will defend the glory of the Yuan Dynasty to the death! Long live my emperor! !”

The words fell.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the entire tent, whether they were tribal leaders, court officials of the Yuan Dynasty, or ordinary guards, all knelt on one knee and expressed their sincere gratitude to the emperor Tuogu Si Timur!
On that day, a 25-strong army was assembled in the Mongolian grassland, all fully equipped, and marched towards Jinshan with high morale.

Chief Envoy of Shanxi Province.

Datong.

at this time.

The Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, and the King of Jin, Zhu Fan, have organized an army of 50,000.

Fu Youde looked at the many soldiers in front of him and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! The Mongols have always come to sneak attack us and hit our grass valleys! Today, it is finally our turn to retaliate against them! It is spring now, and the grasslands are everywhere They are all lambs and horse cubs! The tribes on the grassland have to spread their strength to serve these animals!
This is also a good opportunity for us to take revenge on them! This time, His Highness the King of Jin and the general of our country will personally take you across the Mobei grassland to eradicate these grassland tribes that have harmed our Ming Dynasty one by one, kill their parents, wives and children, and take away their cattle and sheep property! "

The words fell.

Fu Youde waved his sword.

Fifty thousand troops marched out of the fortress together!

The sword points to the grassland!

the other side.

Feng Sheng led Wuding Hou Guo Ying, Yongchang Hou Lan Yu, and a group of princes to go to war.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, the son of the King of Qiyang and the God of War Li Wenzhong, followed him to the battle.

Zhu Tan was riding a horse and sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Feelings are so small in Peiping now.

The first target of the army to conquer turned out to be Tongzhou!

Who would have thought that Tongzhou in later generations would still be on the Sixth Ring Road of Beijing?
It’s still outside the Great Wall now! Zhu Tan and Zhu Di were riding forward together.

Suddenly, Yongchang Hou Lanyu came over on horseback and stood side by side with several people.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Tan and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, how does it feel to be on the battlefield for the first time?"

Zhu Tan sighed and said: "It hurts my butt, nothing else."

Lan Yu laughed and said: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, has always been well-dressed and well-fed, and he is able to withstand the hardships of the battlefield. This is really admirable to the general!"

Zhu Di looked at Lan Yu and sneered.

"If you have anything to say, Marquis Yongchang, just say it! There's no need to try to get close to us! Besides, even if you talk to get close to us, it's like mocking others, which will offend them even more!"

Sapphire:.
He laughed dryly, looked at Zhu Tan, and said: "Tongzhou City is five miles ahead! There are 5 Yuan troops stationed there, and I plan to personally lead troops to attack there! However, I would like to ask, His Highness King Lu Are you interested in competing with me? Let’s see who can take down Tongzhou City first! Let’s see if the humble King Lu can still be that strong on the battlefield.”

Zhu Tan smiled when he heard this.

He shouted to a general not far away: "Command the peace officer!"

The words fell.

soon.

A young general in his early thirties came over on horseback.

This person is the commander of King Lu's guard assigned to Zhu Tan by Zhu Yuanzhang, Ping An.

Ping An saluted Zhu Tan and said, "I will see His Royal Highness King Lu at the end! His Highness King Yan, Marquis of Yongchang!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Commander Ping, Marquis Yongchang told me that Tongzhou City is not far ahead, with a total of 30,000 Yuan troops stationed. He wants to compete with King Lu's guards to see who can break the city first! I will leave this matter to Commander Ping!"

Hearing this, Ping An frowned and asked: "Hou Yongchang, I wonder if Song Guogong knows about this?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu snorted a little embarrassedly and said, "Of course I know."

In fact, Feng Sheng did not want Lan Yu to lead the troops in this battle. Instead, he preferred to use Lu Wangwei.

After all, that artillery, that musket.
If they really fight, it is estimated that the 30,000 yuan army will be defeated, but King Lu Wei will not suffer any losses!

But after Lan Yu heard it, she was instantly unhappy.

No matter what, you must seize the position of the pioneer officer.

Feng Sheng finally had no choice but to agree.

Lan Yu took the vanguard position, but was still not convinced by Zhu Tan's Lu Wangwei.

He proposed to Feng Sheng that he should compete with Lu Wangwei to see whose offensive efficiency was higher.

Feng Sheng was happy to agree.

Anyway, he has an army of 200,000 to suppress the battle. No matter what they do, the 5,000 people led by Lu Wangwei and Lan Yu can't do anything.

Ping An's brows furrowed even more when he heard Lan Yu's words.

"How can we bet on national affairs? The Duke of Song and the Marquis of Yongchang are really..."

Lan Yu suddenly felt unhappy when she heard this.

When I was fighting in the north and south and killing people, you still peed on the mud!
Why are you pretending to be loyal here?
Do not know why.

Zhu Di looked at the serious Ping An in front of him and felt a little disgusted.

Without waiting for Lan Yu to speak, Zhu Di said: "Commander Ping! This is the army! Subordinates must obey the orders of superiors! Since Duke Guo of Song and Marquis Yongchang have given orders, His Highness King Lu asked you to compete, so you still push three times. What are you doing? Are you a qualified Ming soldier?"

Hearing this, Ping An was speechless.

He could only nod his head and said: "Okay! Then when will we start competing?"

Lan Yu smiled and said: "Let's set off now! Let's clear an obstacle for the army first!"

Today's Ming Dynasty is strong and confident.

Even if there are fewer people, I still feel that I am the sure winner.

That's why Lan Yu dared to lead five thousand people to attack Tongzhou City, which was defended by thirty thousand people.

soon.

Lan Yu set out with five thousand fine cavalry and rushed towards Tongzhou City quickly!
the other side.

Ping An also led Lu Wangwei to rush towards Tongzhou City like crazy!
Tongzhou city head.

The guard was Liaoyang Ping Zhang Sai Yin Timur.

He has been here for six or seven years.

Although it was very close to Peiping, Sain Timur was not worried.

The main target of these Ming people was Yuanting, located in Mobei.

He was a subordinate of Naha, and they only had conflicts with the Ming army on the Liaohe River side.

But my place has always been on the same level as Damingjing.

Commonly known as black shit under the lamp.

however.

At this time, Saiin Timur was looking at the generals in the tent with a sad face.

"Everyone, the Ming Dynasty is coming! There are hundreds of thousands of people! There is no way for us to survive here! There are only three ways now, either wait for death, escape, or surrender! What should you choose? Say it?"

In fact, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the surrender of the Mongols was not a big deal.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's banner was to inherit the legal tradition of Dayuan.

And the Great Yuan originally included the Mongols. Now it is reasonable for the Mongols to surrender to the successor dynasty of the Great Yuan, right?

Moreover, when there was a national uprising in the Yuan Dynasty, it was not the Han people in the south who started the uprising.

Compared to the south, the Mongols, who were trapped by the bizarre military household system, rebelled even more fiercely!

When the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was finally besieged, it was actually done by the cooperation between the Han uprising army and the Mongolian uprising army!

Therefore, the Mongols did not have much hatred or resistance towards the Ming Dynasty.

When everyone heard what Sain Timur said, they all expressed their opinions.

Some said surrender, some said escape, and some said they would rather die than surrender.
Sain Timur looked at it and shook his head.

He had planned to escape.

suddenly.

a voice sounded.

"General! My opinion is, surrender, but not immediately!"

Saiin Timur looked at the person and his eyes lit up.

This person's name is Zhao Ning, a Han nationality. He passed the Jinshi examination at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He once served as the prefect of Yuanting. He has always been loyal to the Yuan Dynasty.

Since Emperor Yuan Shun fled north, he came to Tongzhou and was regarded as a think tank in Tongzhou.

Sayin Timur paid great attention to his opinions.

After all, the only ones who can compete with these Han people are the Han people.

The Mongols were okay at fighting and killing, but in other respects they were too honest.

He smiled and asked: "Master Zhao, tell me, why do you want to surrender but can't surrender immediately?"
