The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 207 Is Xiaojuzi in danger? Lao Zhu conceals the truth, and Ma Xiuying is furious!
Liu Bowen took the military report from Zhu Yuanzhang and looked at it carefully.

"Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly..."

Liu Bowen couldn't help but say,
"Xu Da was blinded by the successive small victories and thought that the Yuan army was vulnerable. In fact, this was Wang Baobao's deliberate show of weakness to lure the enemy deeper into his territory."

"In the final analysis, it was caused by underestimating the enemy. His Royal Highness King Wu's initial analysis was correct. The entire army was full of arrogant soldiers! Arrogant soldiers are most likely to rush forward recklessly! They think that a surprise attack can end the war, but in fact, what awaits them is a huge trap."

"Your Majesty, the battle report also said that it was the 10,000 personal guards under His Royal Highness the King of Wu who fought hard to rescue the main force of the central army and enable them to withdraw. I think if it weren't for Your Highness's clear mind and correct decision, this trap carefully designed by Wang Baobao would probably have cost me tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"

"Hey……"

Mu Ying and Zhu Biao also sighed and remained silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's analysis, picked up the military newspaper again and read it again, his face extremely gloomy.

"Underestimate the enemy, underestimate the enemy!"

"As for Wang Baobao, we have said that he is not an ordinary person. How can we look down on him?"

"Xu Da is a veteran, but he still made such a low-level mistake and fell into the opponent's trap! Can't you tell the difference between a real defeat and a fake one? Stupid!"

"We lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers! Nearly 30% of the troops were wasted. How can we defeat the enemy in the future?"

More than ten thousand elite soldiers!
It hurts just thinking about it! That was a good girl that he had carefully selected!

Not counting Zhu Ju's 10,000 personal soldiers, Xu Da only had 50,000 soldiers in total! Losing so many soldiers at once meant that his strength was greatly reduced!
“Although this disastrous defeat caused heavy losses, it also made the entire army wake up.”

Zhu Biao had no choice but to console him.
"If we fight again, we must be cautious and careful. The Yuan army will not be able to gain any advantage at that time."

"I still believe in Uncle Xu's ability to command troops. He will definitely find another opportunity to attack and kill Wang Baobao!"

Mu Ying and Liu Bowen also nodded.

The emperor is angry now, so we can't provoke him. We have to say something that can comfort him.

"Attack and kill? It's a blessing that he can protect himself now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the sand table and said coldly,
"The Eastern Army and the Western Army are still fighting on their own, and they are having a great time fighting against the Yuan army's small forces! They are still a long way from the Central Army!"

"Xu Da is now alone in deep territory! After the disastrous defeat, the morale of the army is shaken and has plummeted! How can you ensure that Wang Baobao will not take advantage of the victory and attack him?"

"If they flee in panic, there must be some mistakes in their formation! Since they can set a trap, they must have thought of a series of links long ago. Maybe Xu Da has been attacked from both sides now!"

The military reports we receive now are news from several days ago.

No one knows what the war situation in the northern border is like right now, and Zhu Yuanzhang always prepares for the worst!

He even thought that it didn't matter if the army was destroyed, but nothing must happen to Zhu Ju and Zhu Di!

Letting them go to the war is to let them observe and gain experience, not to become the fat sheep as Wang Baobao said!
"Dad, I think you still have to trust Uncle Xu."

Zhu Biao was relatively calm at this moment and said,
"He is the God of War of our Ming Dynasty! If he is defeated in one blow, he is unworthy of this title!"

"I think Uncle Xu should withdraw his troops now, gather his troops and defend like an iron barrel, and enter a stalemate with Wang Baobao. Given his character and ability, I think this is the most likely thing to happen."

"So, you don't have to worry too much. The war is not over yet, and nothing is possible yet. There are many wars in history where people turned defeat into victory. Maybe this defeat will give us some opportunities?"

If Zhu Yuanzhang was a pessimist, then Zhu Biao was clearly an optimist.

Of course, he must also be optimistic and give everyone psychological comfort.

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense."

Liu Bowen nodded in agreement.

“In defeat, you can also seek victory.”

"After this defeat, perhaps the Yuan army has become a bunch of arrogant soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Mu Ying also nodded.

The current situation is unclear, so we can only assume this.

"Biao'er!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,

"Draft an imperial edict for me. Don't be polite. Give Xu Da a good scolding!"

"Let him clear his mind! He must first seek stability! Then seek victory! He must know what he is shouldering in this battle! If he doesn't understand this truth, he can just go back and be a rich man!"

"Write!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"father……"

"Uncle Xu must be depressed after suffering such a great defeat. If you continue to insult him, it will not only be of no help to the war, but will make him even more uneasy."

"I think... scolding is fine, just reprimand him, mainly as a warning."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy face and remained silent.

"Dad, I also think that a reprimand is enough, and you shouldn't be too emotional."

"Unless you decide to change the coach."

Hearing Mu Ying's words, Old Zhu's expression froze slightly.

"Change of coaches?"

"Yes, change the coach!"

He said in a deep voice,

"I will issue an imperial edict to reprimand Xu Da, and then issue another decree, saying that Xu Da underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to the army's defeat. He will be stripped of his position as the General of the Northern Expedition. Deputy Commander Zhu Ju has come to protect him properly. He will temporarily lead the central army and be in charge of all matters!"

"Xu Da ranks below Zhu Ju. Whether fighting or retreating, attacking or defending, he must obey Zhu Ju's command!"

Zhu Biao: “?!”

Mu Ying: “?!”

"Dad, this..."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but say,

"Leave the entire army to Little Orange?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. Besides, Uncle Xu is still..."

boom!
"What nonsense! He didn't banish him after losing the battle, and you still want us to reward him!"

"Write! Write quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Zhu Biao any chance to speak and gave the order directly.

Zhu Biao had no choice but to pick up the blank imperial edict and begin drafting it.

It seems that Dad is really angry.

Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, how could you make such a fatal mistake?
As he drafted the imperial edict, he was thinking...

Although he has been stripped of his position as general, Xiaojuzi should still obey his father-in-law's orders, right?

An order of reprimand and an order to change the commander were finally completed with the joint efforts of Zhu Biao, Liu Bowen and Mu Ying.

Zhu Biao's tone was relatively gentle, and contained many words of encouragement, encouraging Xu Da to be prudent and look for another opportunity to fight.

"Dad, please take a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to even look at it, and waved his hand and said:

"No need to look, send it!"

Zhu Biao nodded and walked quickly towards the outside of the Huagai Palace.

As he was walking along, he saw the imperial carriage coming towards him.

"Your Highness, please stop!"

Cuizhu reminded.

The prince was walking so fast that he almost bumped into her!
"oh oh……"

"It's green bamboo..."

Zhu Biao raised his eyes and saw that it was an old acquaintance. He nodded at first, but then his expression suddenly changed.

He looked up and saw Ma Xiuying sitting on the imperial carriage, looking at him with some confusion.

"Biao'er."

"What are you doing, you rash fellow?"

"Your father has a decree for you to convey?"

She saw the two imperial edicts in Zhu Biao's hand and asked casually.

"Yep……"

"I will go to the Secretariat to convey your order..."

When Zhu Biao saw his mother at this moment, his heart skipped a beat and he involuntarily clenched the imperial edict in his hand.

You can't let mother know the news here!

Otherwise, she would definitely worry about Xiaojuzi to the point of not being able to eat or sleep well!
"The Secretariat?"

Seeing that Zhu Biao looked a little unnatural, Ma Xiuying immediately showed doubt and said,
"You still need to deliver the imperial edict from the Secretariat in person? Can't you just ask a eunuch to do it?"

"What's the urgent decree?"

"Is there another famine somewhere?"

She is very familiar with her own son.

At this moment, Zhu Biao looked sneaky and guilty...

"Bring it to me and see."

Ma Xiuying simply stretched out her hand and gave the order.

Zhu Biao: "!!!"

What would happen if someone saw this?!
"Mom, let's just forget about it now in public..."

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,
"I'll tell you when I finish my work."

"It's nothing, actually. There was a disaster in the area, and dad was anxious, so he asked his son to urge the Secretariat to dispatch disaster relief supplies and food."

Ma Xiuying narrowed her eyes.

As the queen, she really could not interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty in public.

You can say whatever you want in private, but the rules in public cannot be broken.

However, she was still skeptical about Zhu Biao's words and did not believe them completely.

This kid is indeed a bit abnormal.

"...Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

Ma Xiuying finally nodded and waved her hand.

Zhu Biao ran away as fast as he could as if he had been pardoned.

"Empress, the Crown Prince seems a little strange today."

Cuizhu suddenly said.

Ma Xiuying nodded slightly.

"If you find it strange, then there must be something wrong."

"Let's go to the Huagai Palace instead. I'll go find Chongba and ask him and we'll know."

she ordered.

She originally went to visit Concubine Sun, but now... she decided to raid Zhu Yuanzhang along the way.

The imperial carriage continued to move forward, all the way to the Huagai Palace.

……

Inside the Huagai Palace.

Liu Bowen and Mu Ying went to deal with government and military affairs respectively, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang alone standing by the sand table with a sullen face, staring intently.

In his mind, he was constantly calculating and deducing, trying to take into account all the possibilities of war!

At this moment, he actually wished he could go to the battlefield and kick the useless Xu Da aside!
The war situation at the front is now unclear... It's really worrying!

"Jungpachi."

"What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly appeared, breaking the silence in the Huagai Hall.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the word "Zhongba", his heart was suddenly startled!
I was just thinking about how to hide this news from the girl... and here she comes!
He was even considering forging a military report! After all, a copy of the Central Army's military report would be sent to Kunning Palace every time. If there was no military report for a long time, given the girl's personality, she would naturally become suspicious.

"… We have nothing to do, so let's look at the sand table and simulate the war."

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously much calmer than Zhu Biao. Although he was feeling agitated, his face did not show any change and he looked quite normal.

"What are you here for?"

Old Zhu glanced at Ma Xiuying and asked back.

"I was passing by and came to take a look."

Ma Xiuying observed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and asked,
"Just now I saw Biaoer hurriedly leaving with two imperial edicts."

"What urgent decree did you issue? I asked him, but he didn't have time to answer me and just left."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh...nothing."

He waved his hand as if nothing had happened.
"There is a major case that needs urgent supervision, and many people have died... Why are you caring about these things?"

His words were as vague as Zhu Biao's.

In times like this, the more vague you are, the better, so that when you are asked in detail and need additional details, there will be no contradictions.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that his beloved sister had already set a trap for him.

boom!
"fart!"

Suddenly, Ma Xiuying slammed the table and ordered,

"You are such a good storyteller, Chongba! Now you are going to lie to me, right?"

"Tell me what's going on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about! Who is lying?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you about such a small matter? You really are...what's wrong with you today?"

he argued.

"Still quibbling, still quibbling!"

Ma Xiuying raised her voice an octave higher and shouted angrily,
"Biao'er said that the local area needed disaster relief, but you said that there was a big case!"

"You two are talking about heaven and earth respectively. You are being inconsistent. Do you think I am a fool?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

Hearing this, he secretly thought that this was not good.

It's bad! I was tricked by the girl! She only came because she asked!
It’s equivalent to interrogating them separately to find loopholes!
But Lao Zhu was not an ordinary person. At this moment, he did not panic, nor did he confess directly. Instead, he snorted coldly and said:
"What an inconsistency!"

"Didn't you see that he was holding two imperial edicts in his hands? One was for disaster relief, and the other was for supervising a major case! It's just that Biao'er said one and we said the other!"

"What's wrong with you today? You're asking about this trivial matter from the past, and you're so impatient! Is there any need for me to argue with you about such a small matter?"

"Really!"

Ma Xiuying: “…”

This rebuttal left her speechless.

Two imperial edicts, two things...it seems that there is nothing wrong with them.

"…You really didn't lie to me?"

Ma Xiuying was still somewhat skeptical.

I always feel like there's something fishy going on here, even though Chongba's reasons are pretty good...

"What's wrong with you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and scolded,
"Should we call Biaoer back and ask him to show you the two imperial edicts in person?"

"How about I give you the throne of the emperor? I'll let you take charge of everything from now on?"

Ma Xiuying felt a little unhappy after being scolded.

But at this moment, he also realized that he had gone a bit too far.

It was just a small matter, but she was suspicious about it, which was a bit out of character for her.

"...Forget it. I don't want to bother with your trivial matters in the court."

Ma Xiuying curled her lips and said,
"I just came here today. Where are the military reports from the past few days? Why haven't they been sent to me?"

"What's the situation on the battlefield now? How is Xu Da fighting?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

If he didn't have the military report now, given the girl's personality, she might go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in person to question him.

But if it's just made up...

Oh! It’s hard to make up stories!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu could only say:
"There has been no progress so far. Both sides are in a stalemate, observing each other and trying to find out each other's flaws."

"But Xu Da is more prudent, and Wang Baobao has always been a man who knows military affairs, so they can't defeat each other for now, and they have to wait for the right time." "But the Eastern and Western Armies have made some good progress, do you want to hear about it?"

Ma Xiuying shook her head.

"I'm not interested in the other two paths. I just want to know how Little Orange is doing now."

"Is he in Xu Da's camp now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes.

"You are talking nonsense! If he is not in the barracks, where else can he be?"

"Now he is meddling in the internal affairs of the army, and he deserves the title of deputy commander!"

he responded.

Ma Xiuying nodded slightly.

"Anything else? If not, go ahead. We still have a lot of things to do!"

Zhu Yuanzhang began to issue orders to expel foreigners.

"Oh."

"Don't come to Kunning Palace these days."

Ma Xiuying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, turned around and left, leaving Zhu with only the back of her head.

Don't you like me?
I don't want to see you yet!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying's departing back, and all the anger he had been holding on to suddenly dissipated!
He held his forehead with a look of distress.

"This is really, ah..."

"You little brat, and Lao Si, you two better stay calm. If you can't do anything else, just follow Wang Baobao's example and run away!"

"No matter what, life is the most important..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how long he could keep it a secret. With the girl's keen sense, once she realized something was wrong, she would definitely be able to find out the truth in the shortest time possible!
Therefore, he could only hope that... the new military newspaper would bring some good news, or at least keep things stable.

We absolutely cannot accept worse news!
Especially regarding Zhu Ju...If this guy is gone, it won't just be that I can't go to Kunning Palace in the next few days, but I won't be able to enter Kunning Palace in this lifetime!

The girl will definitely hate herself for the rest of her life!

And Lao Zhu himself will definitely regret it deeply.

Because Zhu Ju's life safety was so important, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the army as quickly as possible, hoping that he would be clear-headed and able to protect himself safely.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and finally shook his head, putting aside all distracting thoughts, and his eyes fell on the sand table.

From today on, he will focus all his energy on the military! He will do his best to find opportunities to turn defeat into victory!

Outside the Huagai Palace.

Ma Xiuying returned to the imperial carriage, and with Cuizhu's call, the Queen's carriage slowly moved forward again.

"My Lady, are we still going to Concubine Sun's place?"

Cuizhu asked.

"Ah."

Ma Xiuying nodded slightly, but her expression was deep in thought.

She always felt something was wrong.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.

Therefore, she could only replay and replay the situation in her mind over and over again.

In an instant, a flash of light flashed through Ma Xiuying's mind!
Something is wrong!
Nine out of ten times something is wrong!

"Cui Zhu!"

"Change the route and go to the Secretariat!"

Ma Xiuying suddenly gave the order.

Cuizhu was a little confused, but still obeyed the order and led the sedan bearers to turn around and head towards the Secretariat!

……

After a while, inside the Secretariat.

As the left prime minister, Hu Weiyong held the position that Yang Xian once held, but in fact, his power was not as great as Yang Xian's.

After all, the power of the prime minister is now divided into three parts, and he is not even the left prime minister, so naturally he can only get 30% of the power at most.

However, even so, he still worked diligently and almost regarded the Secretariat as half of his home!

As an ambitious person, these are basic qualities.

Swish.

Hu Weiyong was reviewing and revising when he saw a man walk in.

"Lord Zuo Cheng, the Queen is here to visit."

pat.

Hu Weiyong showed a look of surprise and placed the brush in his hand on the pen holder.

"The Queen?"

"Are you sure it's the Queen?"

This seems to be a person who is unlikely to appear in the Secretariat!
"Yes, I'm sure."

"The Queen's carriage has arrived at the door... Sir, do you want to greet her?"

Wow!

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

"How can we not welcome the Queen?"

Hu Weiyong suddenly stood up from the table, quickly tidied his clothes, and then ordered,
"Order all officials in the Secretariat to dress neatly and wait for the arrival of the Empress!"

No matter what the queen is here for, the proper etiquette must be followed, especially since our queen is not some shallow-minded lady in the palace.

Hu Weiyong remembered that his mentor Li Shanchang once said that Queen Ma was a female politician whose political skills were more mature than his!

Outside the Secretariat.

Ma Xiuying sat on the imperial carriage with a normal expression.

But Hu Weiyong came running towards them, and before he reached Ma Xiuying's carriage, he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Long live the Queen!"

"I didn't know that the Queen was coming. I failed to welcome her. Please forgive me!"

When it comes to etiquette, Hu Weiyong did a great job.

In fact, he was more respectful to Ma Xiuying than to the emperor.

"Ah."

"Get up."

Ma Xiuying did not get off the imperial carriage, but sat on it and said,

"I'm not visiting, I'm just passing by."

"Hu Zuocheng, let me ask you, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been here just now?"

Hu Weiyong was slightly stunned.

"Your Highness...No."

He answered truthfully,

"I have been in the Secretariat to take care of government affairs, and have not seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come."

Ma Xiuying's heart sank.

"Well, did he bring any urgent orders from His Majesty?"

She remained calm and continued to ask.

Hu Weiyong was even more confused now.

"Urgent order?"

"No, I didn't receive it. Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

He was somewhat confused and also a little curious.

What's going on?

Hearing his words, Ma Xiuying's expression suddenly changed.

Sure enough, it’s fake!

That father and son actually teamed up to deceive her!

When she thought about the purpose of the two men lying to her, although she couldn't guess it for the time being, one thing was certain... it was definitely a terrible thing!
"well……"

"I see. I'm just asking casually. Please continue with your work."

"Cuizhu, let's go."

Cuizhu nodded, called on the sedan bearers to set off again, and headed straight forward.

"Farewell to the Queen."

Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground again and bowed his head to see him off respectfully.

It was not until the Queen's carriage gradually moved away that he stood up, stroked his beard, and walked into the hall.

"Tujie."

He opened his mouth and said,

"Go and ask if there is any problem with His Majesty or the Crown Prince."

"The Queen's behavior today is very unusual. Find out what she meant by the urgent decree."

Tu Jie, the Vice-Chancellor sitting on the left, quickly stood up and bowed.

"Yes, students obey."

……

There is a lot of flow of people in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Since the Northern Expedition, this has undoubtedly been the busiest and most lively institution in the Ming Dynasty. All kinds of dispatches and orders are completed and communicated here. It can be said to be the central processor of the Ming Dynasty's military, handling a large amount of complicated messages every day.

Three horses connected together stand in the courtyard.

Mu Ying held two sleeves in his hands and handed them to the messenger beside him as he walked.

"Remember!"

"Send these two orders to General Xu's tent as quickly as possible. No mistakes can be made!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger's eyes were bright and he looked as vigorous as a dragon or a tiger.

Without an outstanding mental state, you can't do this tough job!
"Well, without further ado, let's go now!"

Mu Ying led all three horses to him and gave the order,
"At the post stations along the way, you can change horses when necessary without hesitation."

"I emphasize again, what is contained here is the most urgent military secrets of our Ming Dynasty. If there is any mistake, military law will be ruthless!"

The messenger nodded repeatedly and answered yes.

After Mu Ying finished his instructions and was about to hand the two iron cylinders to the other party, he suddenly heard a shout:
"Wait!"

Mu Ying and the messenger both turned their heads to look, only to see Ma Xiuying walking towards them quickly with an angry look on her face. In a moment, she was in front of Mu Ying.

Swish!
She suddenly pulled out the two iron cylinders. Mu Ying was already a little surprised, and was caught off guard, so he naturally couldn't grab them in time.

"what is this?"

Ma Xiuying stared at Mu Ying and asked in a questioning tone.

"Mom, you...why are you here?"

Mu Ying looked somewhat guilty at the moment. Facing Ma Xiuying's questioning, he didn't even dare to look at her and chose to avoid the question.

"I asked you what this is!!"

Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows and shouted,
"Biao'er lied to me, Chongba hid the truth from me!"

"If you still think you are my son, if you still recognize me as your mother, then tell me the truth!"

"otherwise……"

When Mu Ying heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

Things have come to this point, and now that he has been caught red-handed, it will be difficult for him not to confess and get leniency!

Hey!
It's just a short while! As long as the messenger has set off, I can push it aside and at least I won't be caught.

Now that the iron cylinder is in my mother's hands, there is no possibility of any excuses.

"Reply... reply to mother's words."

Mu Ying hesitated at this moment, but still answered truthfully,
"The battle on the front line was lost..."

He said something, then realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly changed his words:

"But victory and defeat are common in the military! In a war, you can't always be the winner. Occasional defeats are common, so this is not a big deal."

"It's just that, mother, you are too concerned about His Royal Highness the King of Wu, and you are too concerned...so father and brother Biao must be afraid that you will worry, so they kept it from you and didn't tell you."

"They didn't mean it, please don't..."

As she was speaking, Ma Xiuying's face changed drastically, and she struggled to take apart the iron cylinder.

Inside, there were the two volumes of imperial edicts that Zhu Biao had in his hand just now!
"Yeah!"

"What a high-sounding excuse! You're just afraid that I'll worry too much!"

"You can deceive me under such a pretext!"

She was a little emotional. After she opened the two edicts, her expression changed again and again, and even her hands holding the edicts began to tremble!

"Mom, you..."

Seeing this, Mu Ying secretly groaned in his heart and quickly stepped forward to hold Ma Xiuying's hand.

"Go away!"

Ma Xiuying turned around suddenly, holding two imperial edicts.

"These two imperial edicts cannot be issued!"

"I'll go find Chongba first, and I'll settle the score with you guys later!"

After saying some harsh words, she took away the two imperial edicts and returned to the imperial carriage.

"Cuizhu, hurry up!"

"Go to Huagai Palace as fast as you can!"

She held the handrail tightly and almost shouted the order!
"Yes!"

"Get going! Quick!"

Cuizhu did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the sedan bearers to leave the Grand Marshal's Mansion in a hurry.

"This……"

"Hey!"

Mu Ying looked at the messenger who looked a little confused and said bitterly,
"It's over, it's over..."

At this moment, he could even imagine that an earth-shaking battle was about to break out in the Huagai Palace!

After standing there and calming down a little, Mu Ying briefly ordered the messenger:

"Stand by and wait for my instructions at any time!"

After saying that, he left quickly.

At this time, you absolutely cannot just stand there stupidly. You have to go find Zhu Biao and try to stop the fight together!

……

Inside the Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and gently rubbed his eyebrows.

The battlefield was far away in the northern border, but he could only sit in the Yingtian Palace, tens of thousands of miles away.

Whether it's receiving military reports or issuing orders, it's too far away!

He had just thought of several military strategies, but in the end he had to reject them all because there was simply not enough time. By the time his order arrived, the situation on the battlefield would have changed drastically.

I can’t be on the battlefield in person, and I feel powerless!

"If we can set the capital in Dadu or a place like Chang'an, these problems won't be such a difficult problem."

"The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are too far away to reach. If we cannot completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty, then it is inevitable that we will have to deploy troops to defend the northern border in the future..."

At this moment, three words appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away!
Support your troops and respect yourself!

March south!

A defeat in a war made him think of the disadvantages of making Yingtian the capital.

If the Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot be destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will have to move its capital in the future, and it must be moved to the north. Otherwise, the emperor will not be able to effectively manage the soldiers on the border, and it is very likely that he will raise generals who are self-important.

And if a rebel general really led his troops south and directly took Yingtian, the situation would be very bad!

At the moment he was lost in thought and did not hear the sound of hurried footsteps.

When he heard three loud bangs in the hall, a loud shout came:
"Zhu! Zhong! Ba!!!"
