The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 217: Good news! The emperor, empress, and prince were all shocked! How could it be so awesome?!
Chapter 216

Heavenly Master!

These two words carry a lot of weight. In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this is equivalent to "national teacher"!

In the past, he said "How can there be a teacher in the sky?" and changed the title of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain to Da Zhenren. That is to say, from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the title of Tianshi no longer existed.

After all, the emperor called himself the Son of Heaven! From a certain perspective, the title of Heavenly Master was two generations higher than the Son of Heaven.

But now, in order to protect his great grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to bring out the title of "Tianshi" again, and also took out the power to take charge of Taoist affairs in Longhu Mountain, just to make Peng Xuan work more wholeheartedly!
For a Taoist who is still walking in the world, this reward is quite a big reward!

While they were talking, the palace maids were busy cleaning the room carefully, and the bloody smell finally dissipated.

"Husband, husband..."

Inside the house, a weak voice was heard again.

When Zhu Biao heard the shouting, he didn't care about anything else and ran into the house.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying also looked at each other and walked into the house together.

There seemed to be a somewhat gloomy feeling in the room.

"Mei Rong, Mei Rong, here I come!"

"How are you? Are you in pain? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

As the crown prince of a country, Zhu Biao managed everything in an orderly manner, but at this moment, he seemed a little at a loss in front of his wife.

He wanted to reach out and hug his wife, but was afraid something might happen, so he could only sit by the bed and carefully tuck in the quilt for Chang Meirong.

"pain……"

Chang Meirong's face turned pale and she reached out to grab Zhu Biao's hand.

Swish!
Zhu Biao only felt that the hand was extremely cold, and was shocked, with worry in his eyes becoming even stronger.

"Why are your hands... so cold?"

"Come, let me warm you up."

Although I don't have much heat, I can still help my wife warm her hands at this moment.

"The Crown Princess has consumed too much blood. She has some hot blood now, but it has been used to protect her internal organs and the child, so her limbs are cold."

The imperial physician in front of him bowed and said,

"This kind of coldness will get better under the effect of medicine."

"But if you want to fully recover, you have to wait until after giving birth. Your Highness, you must be careful for the next two months. If a situation like today happens again, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would be powerless to save you..."

As he spoke, he handed over a long list.

After a heavy hemorrhage, I was able to save the baby with all my strength.

If this happens again, just chop off their heads. They will die anyway.

"Okay, okay... let me see."

Zhu Biao glanced at it casually and said in a slightly surprised tone,
"Is this... so much?"

"Taboo things..."

The imperial physician felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

"Originally there weren't so many, but this time they used strong medicine, so we have to be more careful to avoid conflicts with the medicine. Even if there is even the slightest possibility, we have to prevent it."

He said,

"From now on, the Crown Princess's daily medication will need to be increased or decreased as appropriate."

Fortunately, she is the Crown Princess and has a large medical team.

If it were an ordinary country woman, she would have died long ago, and nature would have eliminated the weak...

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it in mind."

Zhu Biao looked at it carefully for a few seconds before putting it in his arms.

"Husband..."

"Am I really useless? Miaoyun has never had any problems, but I..."

"Woooo..."

As Chang Meirong spoke, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

Even though she was a carefree and easy-going person, she couldn't help but be a little pretentious at this moment.

It’s so annoying!

It was the same pregnancy. In the early stages, the baby was weak and needed medicine and food supplements, as well as careful exercise. In the end, I survived the most dangerous first three months of pregnancy and saved the baby.

But what about Xu Miaoyun? Nothing happened to her. She ate and drank as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Three months later, she had all kinds of pregnancy reactions, including nausea and vomiting, chest pain, back pain, depression and collapse. She also had several bleeding episodes, which made everyone very nervous. The imperial doctors worked around the clock to stabilize the fetus. If it weren't for her husband who was by her side all the time, and the palace had not prepared various meals for her, she would not have been able to make it through that period.

Looking at Xu Miaoyun again...there was still nothing wrong with her. Except for the fact that her appetite had increased a lot, everything else was normal. Even her belly was not obviously pregnant. It was almost as if she was not pregnant at all. Even her figure had not changed!
I finally made it to the third trimester of pregnancy, but just because I ate a little bit of overnight pastries, I had such heavy bleeding. I almost lost the baby, and I almost lost myself too!

Looking back, I was really exhausted!
It is said that children have a deep bond with their parents, and they either come to repay their gratitude or to seek revenge... Then, could it be that she is here to seek revenge?

Miaoyun, is that a way of repaying a favor?
But in a flash, she threw such thoughts out of her mind. It was obviously her poor health that caused the child to suffer so much. How could she blame the child now? She should feel more sorry for him...

Chang Meirong's heart was constantly filled with various emotions and thoughts, like waves on the sea, one after another, making her physically and mentally exhausted, and her eyes had lost their luster.

"How could that be? Good things take time..."

After more than eight months of tossing and turning, Zhu Biao had already become an expert at coaxing people, and he hurriedly spoke to comfort them,
"Just hold on a little longer, and the baby will be born in just over a month."

"My father said that he would ask Xiaojuzi's master, Taoist Master Peng Xuan, to personally take charge. He is proficient in medicine and Taoism. With him here, there will be the protection of the Ten Days God, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

"When you're done with the confinement, I'll take some time out to take you out to relax, okay? Don't cry now. The doctor said that your mood will affect the baby's mood, and he will worry about his mother, too."

After hearing her husband's words of comfort, Chang Meirong felt a little calmer. She sniffed and hummed.

"Yes, don't be depressed. No matter how big the difficulties are, you can get through them. We will always be with you, Meirong."

Ma Xiuying also spoke to comfort him,

"Don't feel pressured. You and Biao'er are still young. Even though... you know what mother means. No matter what, you are the best daughter-in-law in mother's eyes."

After saying this, she added two more words in her mind - one of them.

"Yeah, that's right, relax." Zhu Yuanzhang also responded and walked to the side to look at the scenery.

He also knew that if he stared at her, it would make his daughter-in-law nervous, so it would be better for him to move away.

"Thank you, mother, thank you, father."

Chang Meirong's eyes showed an expression of emotion.

Although she married into the royal family and the baby in her belly was the most important grandson of the Ming Dynasty, her father and mother did not put pressure on her to have a child. For a woman, this was already the greatest luck.

Many women in the countryside would even be beaten and kicked by their evil mothers-in-law and scolded for being useless because of unfavorable childbirth! She had heard all these stories! In comparison, the most powerful and influential mother-in-law in the Ming Dynasty was a considerate and kind mother-in-law.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

"I have good news to tell the Crown Princess."

The imperial physician suddenly smiled and said,

"I have already felt the pulse and the baby in the Crown Princess' belly is most likely a boy."

"Congratulations, Her Majesty the Crown Princess. I hope this good news can make you feel happier physically and mentally. Pregnant women should be happier."

Chang Meirong raised her eyebrows, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Is this...really?"

The imperial doctor nodded.

Since he dared to say 80%, it means he is 100% sure.

Of course, as an imperial physician, if you still can't tell whether the baby is a boy or a girl after eight months of pregnancy, then there's no point in doing this job.

"well……"

"thanks, thanks……"

Chang Meirong started muttering to herself, and her mood suddenly became very good, and her energy and spirit seemed to have recovered a little!

She turned and looked at Zhu Biao quickly, saying:
"Your Highness, did you hear that? Our child is a boy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao also smiled.

"I heard it, I heard it. You are really awesome."

He gently stroked Chang Meirong's forehead and smiled.

Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed.

This news was like a ray of sunshine, dispelling all the haze in my heart.

"Okay, okay, you two young people can chat first. We two old people won't be in the way."

Ma Xiuying smiled and said,
"Chongba, let's go out first."

Seeing their son and daughter-in-law getting so close to each other and seeming to be getting close to each other, the two of them, as elders, naturally couldn't stay and spoil the mood any longer.

Ma Xiuying pushed Zhu Yuanzhang with one hand and walked into the courtyard.

"Are you happy? Both daughters-in-law are great and both are grandchildren of the emperor!"

She pursed her lips and said,
"God still favors our Zhu family."

"Now, I just don't know who will be the first one. Judging from the situation, I think Meirong will be the first one, but her baby will be weaker."

Anyone who has been pregnant knows that full-term babies are definitely healthier than premature babies.

She herself was like this at the beginning. When she gave birth to Zhu Biao, she was a little premature, and when she gave birth to Zhu Ju, she was full-term. Comparing the two children, Zhu Biao was obviously much more difficult to take care of. He would get sick and catch cold every time there was a change of seasons and in winter.

Zhu Ju, on the other hand, loves to eat and play. He is lively and active and basically never gets sick. If it weren't for the great disaster in his life, he would have been as strong as an ox!

"Well, that's fine too."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said,
"This is also considered respecting the elders."

"As for your weak body...just exercise more and take better care of yourself in the future."

Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Zhongba, are you worried about something? Why do you seem a little depressed today?"

She suddenly asked,
"Is there something difficult in government affairs?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked absent-minded today. He didn't seem very happy when he heard the good news just now.

This is very abnormal.

"Well, government affairs... sort of! But it's mainly military affairs!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down casually and sighed,
"There is no news from the three armies! The ministers in the court have almost all known about Xu Da's defeat in Horqin last time. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable!"

"After Xu Da was defeated, there has been no news! It's okay from his side, but Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong didn't send any news back. It's as if our 160,000-man army has disappeared!"

"Today, the court officials mentioned the war, and I didn't know how to respond. I could only evade them... Oh! This is what I am most worried about. I wish I could grow wings and fly to the front line to see what is going on!"

What an emperor hates most is this uneasy feeling!
An army of more than one hundred thousand was just isolated outside, with no news coming back. He was an emperor who conquered the country on horseback, but now he could only sit in the palace like a little wife, waiting for news from the front line.

The only thing we can do is to trust Xu Da and Zhu Ju...

"Damn it, if I hadn't been so busy with this, I would have led the army myself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spat on the ground, venting his dissatisfaction.

Seeing him like this, Ma Xiuying frowned slightly and felt a little worried.

She deliberately avoided thinking about this matter for fear of worrying too much, but when Chongba brought it up, her heart uncontrollably missed her son who was far away in the frontier.

"I don't know...how is Little Orange doing."

She murmured, then suddenly clenched her fists and said with a firm look,

"I believe in him! He will definitely be able to withstand the pressure and turn the defeat around! Chongba, you have to believe in our son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead.

I kind of regretted sending my two sons to the battlefield, but you, on the other hand, told me that I believed in my sons.

Exchanging identities is the case.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty in the East Palace?"

There were shouts coming from outside.

"exist!"

The eunuch walked out of the yard and asked,
"Your Majesty is visiting the Crown Princess. What do you want?"

The messenger responded quickly:
"It's good to be here, it's good to be here!"

"Lord Mu Ying is searching the palace for Your Majesty! There is military news from the front line, our army has won a great victory! Our army has won a great victory!"

Swish!
Hearing the noise outside, Zhu Yuanzhang's ears stood up like radars. When he heard the word "great victory", he stood up instantly!

"A great victory?"

"Quick! Call Mu Ying to see us! Quick!"

These two words are what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear in his dreams! At this moment, he was naturally excited!
It was a great victory, not a great defeat!

It really turned defeat into victory!
What tactics were used? Was it Xu Da who played a role, or did Zhu Ju come up with a brilliant plan and create a miracle after taking command?

Or...some other reason?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and at this point he couldn't help but rub his hands!

"A great victory?!"

Ma Xiuying's eyes lit up and she said in surprise,
"I must have guessed it right! Little Orange must have accomplished something extraordinary!"

"Hurry up and call Mu Ying!"

Her sixth sense has always been very accurate, so she was certain at this moment that Zhu Ju played a key role in this battle!

The old couple were so excited at this moment, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

A moment later, Mu Ying hurried into the courtyard and bowed to pay his respects.

"The child has met his father and mother."

Ma Xiuying quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"Don't salute! What's going on? Did they win a great victory at the front? Who's in charge?"

She asked repeatedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at Mu Ying intently, waiting for his response. "To answer your mother's question, we have indeed won a great victory! And it is an unprecedented victory!"

Mu Ying took out a military report from his bosom and quickly handed it to Ma Xiuying, grinning and saying,

"But you have to take it easy and don't get scared."

Swish!
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly leaned over and watched the victory news with Ma Xiuying.

"...Xiaoju personally led the troops to attack Beiyuan's lair?! This, this is nonsense! How dare he take such a risk!"

“Don’t get excited, don’t get excited yet! Look at the result… Wow! This kid captured Yuan Sijun alive? Now Yuan Sijun is in our hands? Hahahaha! Good, good, this kid is awesome! I admit that he is awesome!”

The couple finished reading the first page in shock. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's surprised laughter, Ma Xiuying was extremely scared. She kept patting her chest, looking frightened.

"That can't be the case! He's just gambling! Gambler's mentality!"

Ma Xiuying said angrily,
"He won the bet this time, but what about next time? Can he guarantee that his luck will be so good every time? Can he find the enemy's lair in the vast desert?"

"I think... there won't be a next time! He can forget about going to war again! He dared to do such a dangerous thing behind my back. When he comes back, you'll see how I deal with him!"

She was really a little angry at this moment!
I have told you many times, be careful, be careful, don't forget that you are going to be a father...

Well, I just turned around and made a big profit!
This means he doesn't take her seriously at all and doesn't take her words to heart!

"Alright, alright, this guy dares to do this, he must be sure of it."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and stroked his beard, saying,

"A surprise attack on the Beiyuan old nest, and it was successful! Tsk tsk... He is even more awesome than Huo Qubing back then!"

"If this guy is a general, we'll make him a champion marquis at least!"

Compared with Ma Xiuying, Lao Zhu is more result-oriented.

As long as the result is good, he doesn't bother to care about what happened in between!

At this moment, Zhu Biao came out of the house.

"I just heard you talking about a great victory in there... Did you win the battle at the front?"

He asked as he stepped forward.

When it comes to the war, he cares no less about it than Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yes!"

Ma Xiuying said angrily,

"Your good brother did something earth-shattering and nearly frightened me to death!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he became more curious. He quickly walked up to the three people and his eyes fell on the military newspaper.

Just a glance -

"Ouch!"

"Little Orange is so awesome! He can even do this! How did he do it?!"

He behaved in the same way as Lao Zhu. After exclaiming in surprise, he also became curious.

It is true that my younger brother often creates miracles, but this time... it is too unbelievable!

"I wonder too."

Mu Ying exclaimed in amazement,
"Wang Baobao is a cautious person. He will definitely hide Yuan Sijun in a place he thinks is absolutely safe. It is very likely to be the rear base of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"If that's the case, even if we know the route, it's hard to find it. The cavalry's food and fodder will be a big problem, unless we replenish our supplies while killing the enemy, but that depends on luck."

"Unless you are extremely lucky, you will succeed, but who can guarantee that they will have such good luck?"

The four people present were all knowledgeable about military affairs, with Zhu Biao being the only one who was slightly weak in military affairs.

But through analysis, he could easily come to the conclusion that Zhu Ju had completed an almost impossible military mission!
"Even we can't figure it out, so just save your energy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said,
"When he comes back, we'll know the answer when we ask him."

"Alright, alright, let's look at the next picture! Let's guess... Is our army using this as a breakthrough point to engage in a head-on battle with Wang Baobao's army?"

Mu Ying immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Dad is indeed a prophet!"

He turned to the second page.

All three heads looked over.

In an instant, three pairs of eyes widened.

"This... just like that, they destroyed Wang Baobao's army? They killed 25,000 people in battle and captured 55,000 people? Oh my goodness! This is such a huge achievement!"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath and smacked his lips.

"Isn't this equivalent to destroying the Beiyuan in one fell swoop?!"

I thought capturing Yuan Sijun alive was a huge victory, but in the end... it was just an appetizer.

The feast is yet to come!

"This is not Shui Lingling, this decision is perfect!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,

"Zhu Ju's risky military action was obviously planned after consultation with Xu Da! Otherwise, Xu Da would not have hurriedly summoned the armies of Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong to encircle them!"

"Their goal is to force Wang Baobao to fight a decisive battle directly after Zhu Ju successfully attacked the Beiyuan old nest and tore open this key breakthrough! In this way, the three armies will encircle and Zhu Ju's elite cavalry will sweep the rear. How can they not win in this way?"

"I have to say... the strategy was perfectly executed. This battle was fought beautifully!"

Ideals are full...reality is also full!

"Well, the key is Xiaojuzi's ingenious plan. It seems that he is really confident."

Ma Xiuying nodded and said,

"Otherwise, Xu Da wouldn't have cooperated so hard... So, not only did we capture Yuan Sijun alive, but we also captured Wang Baobao?"

"Zhongba, does this mean that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been completely destroyed?"

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying both looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with somewhat excited expressions.

Destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one battle!
This battle will definitely leave a mark in history books!
"Well, forget it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then said seriously,
"Although there are still several remnant forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the northern grasslands, they are not as capable as Wang Baobao. My army only needs to sweep them lightly to crush them!"

"As for the Northern Yuan prince in Yunnan, without the support of the north, he will be even more vulnerable! Mu Ying, you can lead an army to destroy him later!"

"The battle between Zhu Ju and Xu Da can be said to have completely destroyed the last remaining force of the Yuan Dynasty! What else can the remaining rotten fish and shrimp do?"

"From now on, the vast grassland is also within the territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

Thinking about the fact that he could take such a large grassland and desert into his possession, Lao Zhu even felt a little excited!
Although the environment on the grassland is not very good, you can raise cattle, sheep, and horses! You can even mine!
I heard Zhu Ju mention before that there are a lot of gold mines on the grassland waiting to be discovered!

"According to the order!"

Mu Ying said with a smile.

Seeing Zhu Ju's extraordinary achievements, as a soldier, he naturally felt itchy in his heart.

Although those remnant soldiers in Yunnan were just rotten fish and shrimp in his father's mouth, but to him, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

"Yes, that's great..."

Zhu Biao's eyes sparkled and he said,

"Little Orange has crushed the last breath of the Yuan Dynasty. Now our Ming Dynasty can finally hold its head high and say that it has surpassed the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

"At least in terms of territory, our Ming Dynasty has surpassed the Han and Tang Dynasties! As long as the economy catches up, it will only be a matter of time before we surpass the Kaiyuan Prosperity!"

In the past, we could only say that the governance was better than that of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Now, we have every confidence to say that we are far superior to the Han and Tang dynasties! This is the confidence brought by territorial expansion!
"Yes, it is far superior to the Han and Tang dynasties!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also raised his mouth and said,
"I didn't expect that this great achievement would fall into the hands of a brat. This is also a good thing."

"Our Zhu family is blessed by God and has produced many talented people!"

If it was really Xu Da or some other general who had made such great military achievements, he would really be a little distressed - because there was no more reward left, and if he gave more, it would be that his achievements were so great that they would shock the lord!

As a result, it was his own son who achieved such great results.

That’s okay!

Even if my own son conquers the whole world, there is no such thing as him being more accomplished than my master!
"Little Orange has indeed been very miraculous since he came to his senses."

Ma Xiuying also echoed,

"He even learned how to fight without a teacher... Chongba, how are you going to reward him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"How to reward him? We give him whatever he wants!"

"Even if he wants the stars and the moon in the sky, we will pick them down for him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was happy.

"Dad, there is another petition to be filed."

Mu Ying said,

"It's about the placement of prisoners and the cleanup of the remaining Northern Yuan troops."

"At present, our army has hundreds of thousands of Northern Yuan prisoners. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are more than 100,000 of them."

"How to deal with these 100,000 people still needs you to decide."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

After the war, there is governance.

"Biao'er, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with this?"

Old Zhu then began to test his son.

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment before saying:

"My son believes that we should learn from the Tang Dynasty's lesson and never let them gather together. Their sense of kinship is too clear. If they gather together, they will definitely choose to stick together."

"By then, the 100,000 people will become a 100,000-strong barbarian army and will bite us back. I think it is inevitable that they will bite us back."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly.

Ma Xiuying also nodded in approval.

"But we can't kill them all. It would be too cruel to kill hundreds of thousands of unarmed people. God has the virtue of loving life. If we commit such a sin of killing, it might not be good for our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao said again,

"Xiaojuzi is a monk, he definitely doesn't want to kill the prisoners."

"So, my son thinks that we should divide these prisoners and let them scatter all over the country so that they have no chance to connect with each other. This is the most effective strategy."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

“The idea is right.”

he commented.

"But isn't it too easy for them to think like this?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and said,
"As a captive, he became a common citizen of the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous era."

She has no so-called softness towards foreigners.

It is okay to be kind to other ethnic groups as the mother of the country, but the premise is that they are honest and do their duty, and really work diligently as the common people of the Ming Dynasty, instead of harboring evil intentions and becoming unstable and restless dangerous elements.

"Of course not to make them ordinary people."

Zhu Biao replied,

"We will select some of these 100,000 people as military households, send them into the army, and serve the country. Of course, this group must be the better ones."

"Then, we will select some of them as craftsmen and corvée laborers to be used in the construction of the Ming Dynasty. This will also reduce the burden on our own people."

"They can even be given to noble ministers as servants. The people below will naturally have their own ways to control them."

"And the women of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are also relatively good resources. Women have been resources since ancient times. They can inject new vitality into the Ming Dynasty and increase the population."

After hearing these words, Mu Ying was dumbfounded.

"You've come up with so many ideas in just such a short time?"

He said in some surprise,
"you are great!"

His younger brother usually keeps a low profile, but when he occasionally shows off his talent, he is amazed!

"Not bad, you've thought about it in detail."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and stroked his beard,
"These more than 100,000 people, if used well, will not be a burden, but can enhance the national strength of our Ming Dynasty in the short term! Those old guys in the court ask us to cherish the people's strength every day, so we can't conscript large-scale labor to build large projects."

"Now that we have these Northern Yuan prisoners, we can finally let loose and do something big! Add to that the spoils we captured this time... wow, we're going to be rich!"

Old Zhu was very happy at the moment, and was already fantasizing that the Ming Dynasty would use this war profit to rapidly develop the national strength.

"It seems that this is not a problem, but a good thing."

Mu Ying smiled and said,

"Then there is one more problem. The remaining remnant forces, as the military report says, are still led by Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong. They will return to the east and west lines to carry out sweeping operations."

"Do you think you need further instructions?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"They have already taken action, what else do we need to instruct them on?"

He said,

"Just do it, no problem!"

"However, we must pay special attention to the east. The Northern Yuan still has considerable power in the east and in the Liaodong area. We must eliminate them! I think that 60,000 troops may not be enough. We must keep an eye on Li Wenzhong at all times."

"If there are not enough troops, send more immediately!"

Mu Ying nodded.

"As you say, I will keep a close eye on the situation on the Eastern Front."

He said,

"To be on the safe side, I think we can mobilize some of the nearby garrisons to respond."

When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength!
At this final juncture, you must also be careful not to get bitten by the rabbit!
