Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103 Lin Fu: My young master really became a general and was even given the title of Earl of Champion!
Liaoyang City!
Inside the main hall of the general's mansion.

"General."

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers are ready to obey the orders of the Grand Commandant at any time."

Alishili respectfully reported to Naha.

"The Ming army is attacking fiercely now, and its strength is definitely over 200,000. Even though our army still has nearly 200,000 soldiers, most of them are on scattered duty. The Ming army is divided into two routes. If we continue to defend blindly like this, Liaodong will surely fall." Nahachu said seriously.

"So this time the general did not hesitate to withdraw troops just to launch a counterattack." Alishili said.

"good."

Nahachu nodded heavily.

Then he walked slowly to the map of Liaodong beside the hall.

"This time, the Ming Kingdom appointed Feng Sheng as the Grand General, with Lan Yu and Fu Youde as his assistants."

"Now Fu Youde is leading a large army to advance in the direction of Jincheng and head straight for Gaizhou."

"Lan Yu, on the other hand, had a clear goal and headed straight for Tieling."

"If we want to break the current crisis of the war, we have to annihilate these two Ming armies. Only in this way can we turn the tide." Nahachu said in a deep voice.

"General."

"We have been asking for help for so long now, why hasn't the emperor sent troops yet?"

"Could it be..."

Alishi said with a worried look on his face.

"Reinforcements."

"No more."

Nahachu sighed, a look of helplessness on his face. "Even if the emperor is willing to come to our aid, there are voices of opposition from the court. They think that the Yuan Dynasty is content with staying in the northern border and should not stay in Liaodong. Not only does it cost a huge amount of money to maintain it, but it also has to be on constant guard against the Ming Dynasty."

"now."

"This Liaodong area is already struggling to support itself."

"The Yuan Dynasty will not provide assistance unless we rely on ourselves."

Hear this.

Alishili's face changed, and he was filled with anger. "Are those people so inflexible? If Liaodong is truly conquered by the Ming, do they think the northern border will remain safe? Do they think the Ming won't launch a northern expedition?"

"Perhaps this is what the Han people mean when they say, 'Those who sit high above the government are ignorant of the sufferings of the world.'"

"Now, we can only rely on ourselves." Nahachu sighed.

"This battle."

"If we can protect Liaodong, the Yuan Dynasty can still survive in the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty will not dare to invade the Yuan Dynasty from the north. But if Liaodong falls, everything will be lost."

"My Yuan Dynasty may also be completely destroyed." Nahachu said with a look of seeing through the current situation.

As the Grand Marshal, how could he not know the current situation in the Yuan court?

all the time.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely ambitious. All he wanted was to completely destroy the Yuan court, take back all the territories once controlled by the Yuan court, and restore the glory of the Han Chinese.

The existence of Liaodong was a thorn in the side of the Ming Dynasty. If this thorn was not removed, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to launch a northern expedition against the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the real central officials of the Yuan Dynasty had been able to live in peace, allowing them to sit high in the government.

Even though Nahachu had some plans in mind, he could only strengthen Liaodong step by step and be wary of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it is a crisis.

Nahachu no longer had many choices.

"I am willing to follow the Grand Commandant until death."

Alishili knelt on one knee in front of Nahachu with a serious expression.

"General."

"This time, I can only rely on you."

"I'll leave this 100,000-strong army to you to command." Nahachu said in a deep voice.

"Everything is subject to the commander's orders." Alishili replied immediately.

"General, please."

Nahachu helped Alishili up.

Then he raised his hand and pointed at the Liaodong map in front of him.

"This place is Tieling City."

"Liaodong is the hub for allocating food and military supplies. With this city as the center, Jincheng, Kaiyuan, and all the cities in Liaodong can be connected."

"This general predicts that Lan Yu's target is Tieling City."

"He will certainly attack with all his might, in an attempt to cut off the core of Liaodong, making it impossible for us to connect with each other."

"And Fu Youde's goal is Gaizhou."

"This general intends to use Tieling City as bait, and let Lan Yu lead his army straight in and destroy it in one fell swoop." There was a cold glint in Nahachu's eyes, as if he had endless plans.

Hear this.

Alishili immediately said, "General, Lan Yu has nearly 100,000 troops under his command. How can we destroy them?"

"and."

"The Daning Border Army is also among the Ming army's formation this time, with no fewer than 50,000 soldiers."

“It’s hard to eat them.”

Nahachu sneered: "Tieling City is bait. If you want to eat them, then Tieling will naturally be the main target."

"If this strategy succeeds, it will surely severely damage the Ming army's morale and the Ming Empire's edge, thus preserving Liaodong."

"General Ali, this battle depends on you."

"These 100,000 elite troops are Liaodong's last hope, and they are also the limit of what we can mobilize."

……

Huizhou City!
Posthouse.

"Uncle Lin."

"There has been no news for such a long time, maybe there is really a mistake."

Shen Yuer spoke slowly.

Her pretty face was full of worry.

"Let's make the best of it."

"What if it's true?" Lin Fu sighed.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Lin Fu had already prepared for the worst.

Lin Fu had seen what a battlefield looked like before.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established. There was chaos and war everywhere, killing everywhere, and corpses were everywhere on the land of China.

Lin Fu also witnessed this cruelty with his own eyes.

And the real battlefield will only be more cruel.

My young master, maybe... maybe he really has...

Think of this.

Lin Fu was also very sad in his heart.

But he also harbored hatred for the Shen family.

"Yu'er."

"Uncle Lin asks you a question."

"If...if the young master really died on the battlefield."

"I want revenge on the Shen family, what will you do?"

Uncle Lin stared at Shen Yuer, and a struggle was revealed in his voice.

Although Shen Yuer did not receive much favor from the Shen family, her surname is Shen after all, and she is the daughter of Shen Wansan.

For Lin Fu, his young master is everything to him. The old lady had personally entrusted Zhu Ying to his hands. If the young master died, no matter how humble he was, Lin Fu would seek revenge.

Revenge at any cost.

Facing Lin Fu's question.

Shen Yu'er raised her head and said without any hesitation: "I will go with Uncle Lin."

"Yu'er."

"you……"

Lin Fu was also shocked.

But Shen Yuer didn't say much.

She just rolled up her sleeves, and her arms were covered with whip marks and scars. Her thin appearance showed the suffering she had endured in the Shen family.

"I am not even as good as an ordinary maid in the Shen family."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the Shen family, I am just a slave."

"Over the years, only Brother Zhu Ying has been truly kind to me. If Brother Zhu Ying is really harmed by them, then I will go with him."

Shen Yuer smiled bitterly, but her eyes were full of determination.

"Yu'er."

"If the young master knew your heart, he would be very happy." Lin Fu said with great emotion.

at this time!

There was a knock on the door.

"Someone is coming." Lin Fu said.

He immediately walked forward and opened the door.

Posthouse.

At that time, it belonged to the government.

Meals are delivered to their door every day. Lin Fu and Shen Yuer have lived there for a long time, so they are naturally used to it.

However, when they opened the door every day, they were still a little excited and nervous. They naturally expected news from Zhu Ying to come back, but they were also afraid that it would be bad news.

But now!
Just as Lin Fu opened the door.

A man dressed as a servant suddenly pulled out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed Lin Fu.

"not good."

Lin Fu's face changed.

He stepped back suddenly.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "There is a murderer, there is a murderer..."

The sound spread immediately.

"Yu'er."

"Escape through the window."

Lin Fu shouted again.

Shen Yuer's face changed and she looked towards the door.

Four men dressed as servants took out their short knives and rushed into the room. Two of them rushed directly towards Lin Fu, and the other two rushed towards Shen Yuer.

Each one was without any nonsense and full of murderous intent.

One painting shows the purpose of killing two people.

Face this situation.

Lin Fu and Shen Yuer could only hide in the room.

The four killers followed closely.

"Yu'er, run away quickly."

Lin Fu shouted.

He picked up a chair from the ground and threw it towards the window.

Bang.

The windows were smashed.

Followed.

"Uncle Lin." Shen Yu'er looked worried and immediately picked up the chair on the ground to rescue Lin Fu.

It was at this critical moment.

Da da da.

Da da da.

There were sounds of footsteps and weapons.

A group of Ming soldiers in armor appeared here and saw the four killers in the room.

The leading officer's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Hurry up and save them."

A group of soldiers rushed into the room and drew their swords to fight.

under absolute advantage.

Three of the four killers were killed on the spot, and the third was captured.

"Hundred households."

"The assassin committed suicide by poisoning himself."

But when the soldiers were about to bring the captured assassin over, the assassin had already vomited black blood and fell to the ground.

"He's still a dead soldier."

When the captain saw it, he was even more surprised.

Death warrior!

This is not uncommon throughout history.

He just came to this inn to kill people.

It's quite bold.

now.

Lin Fu and Shen Yuer's faces also turned pale. Just at that critical moment, if these soldiers had not arrived at the right time, they might have been killed by the assassin.

"Uncle Lin, are you okay?"

Xiao Han walked up quickly and asked worriedly.

"Brother Xiao."

"You're back."

Seeing Xiao Han coming, Lin Fu slowly retreated with the shock in his eyes, replaced by anticipation.

"came back."

Xiao Han nodded heavily, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I met General Zhu." Xiao Han said immediately.

"Then he...he..."

Lin Fu was a little nervous.

When Xiao Han mentioned General Zhu before, Lin Fu didn't believe that this General Zhu was his young master.

Even now, it is still the same.

"Uncle Lin, General Zhu is your young master."

"The hero of my Daning Border Army is your young master."

"The identity has been confirmed."

Xiao Han said excitedly.

"what?"

Lin Fu and Shen Yuer looked at each other with their eyes wide open.

There was an expression of disbelief and even shock on both of their faces.

"How can this be?"

"My young master has become a general?"

"That's impossible."

"In less than a year, my young master won't be able to become a general no matter how much merit he achieves, right?"

"My young master is just an ordinary person, how could he become a general?"

Lin Fu's heart was churning with thoughts and he was completely confused.

Even Shen Yuer is the same.

I'm completely confused at this moment.

"Brother Zhu Ying has become a general!"

Shen Yuer's mind was also buzzing at this moment. She had not expected this at all.

"Brother Xiao."

"Is this true or false?" Lin Fu still couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Lin."

"I've confirmed it."

"Moreover, the general specifically ordered me to bring the imperial edict of the current emperor and the crown prince and give it to Lin Bolai for safekeeping."

Xiao Han said with a smile.

Then turned around.

He took a brocade box from one of his men.

Open it and take a look.

There were several volumes of golden imperial edicts inside.

Lin Fu picked up a scroll with a shocked expression and took a look.

The entire imperial edict.

He only knew the two words "young master".

"Yu'er,"

"Look at it."

Lin Fu handed the imperial edict to Shen Yuer.

Lin Fu was just a servant, so naturally he was illiterate, but Shen Yuer grew up with Zhu Ying and was also taught by Zhu Ying.

Shen Yuer took it and took a look.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, declares!"

"Zhu Ying, a captain of the Daning border army, has made great military achievements and defeated the Jianzhou Tartar tribe. His hard work and contributions are recognized and he is awarded the title of garrison commander of Jin."

"Zhu Ying, the garrison commander of the Daning border army, is granted the title of [Hereditary County Male].

"..."

"Zhu Ying, the garrison commander of the Daning border army, rendered great service to the country by defeating the Jianzhou Tartars. He was granted the title of [Assistant Commander], commanding ten thousand troops, and was appointed a general."

"Zhu Ying, a man from the Daning Border Army County, has made great contributions to the country and has been promoted to the title of [County Prince]..."

Shen Yuer took the imperial edict and read it out one by one.

From the time when Zhu Ying first made his mark by killing hundreds of people, to his current title of county magistrate and the title of [Commander-in-Chief].

These imperial edicts were like military medals belonging to Zhu Ying, completely recording his military exploits and achievements.

It also subtly mentioned the danger Zhu Ying faced on the battlefield.

Each of these imperial edicts was obtained by Zhu Ying fighting for his life on the battlefield, and each of these imperial edicts was obtained by Zhu Ying risking his life.

"Uncle Lin."

"It's true. These are imperial decrees, and they are all for Brother Zhu Ying."

"This General Zhu belongs to Brother Zhu Ying."

"Brother Zhu Ying is still alive."

Shen Yuer held the imperial edict tightly and said happily.

"Okay, just be alive."

"May the old lady's spirit in heaven bless you."

"The young master is still alive, that's good." Lin Fu was excited and happy that his young master was still alive.

In the bottom of his heart.

It doesn’t matter whether my young master becomes a general or not, as long as he is alive.

"Uncle Lin."

"General Zhu is not only still alive, but he has also become a general and even has a hereditary title." Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Hereditary county magistrate, what kind of official is this?"

"Does the title mean nobility?" Lin Fu asked in confusion.

"Uncle Lin."

"This title is incredible."

"In the future, General Zhu's descendants can inherit this title, enjoy the annual salary from the court, and ensure their wealth and prosperity." Xiao Han replied with a smile.

"Descendants will inherit it."

"Protect your descendants to be rich and prosperous."

Lin Fu's eyes lit up, and he was also indescribably moved.

For him.

no doubt.

This is what he values ​​most.

He has been taking care of Zhu Ying since he was a child. Although he is a servant, he truly regards Zhu Ying as his only relative and descendant.

His greatest hope would be to see Zhu Ying marry and have children, and to see his descendants live in wealth and prosperity without worries.

"County boy."

"Incredible."

"I never thought that my young master would become a nobleman." Lin Fu said happily.

The assassination attempt that had just happened also destroyed the good news at this moment.

For him.

There is no doubt that I am very happy at this moment.

"Uncle Lin."

"Just before I returned to Huizhou, the court sent someone to convey an edict to General Zhu. General Zhu is no longer a county magistrate, but an earl. He was also given the title of [Champion] by the emperor and the prince, and was named Earl of Champion." Xiao Han said with a smile again.

"Champion Uncle?"

"count?"

Lin Fu was stunned. He didn't know much about these titles.

But he had heard of the title of champion.

As a Chinese Han citizen, who doesn’t know the name of Champion Marquis Huo Qubing?

"Brother Zhu Ying was named Earl of Champion? Champion?"

Shen Yuer looked at it in surprise, obviously not expecting it.

"kindness."

Xiao Han nodded immediately, recalling the scene of the imperial conferment, and was extremely excited. "I was fortunate to be present on that day. I saw with my own eyes the imperial guards around the emperor delivering the decree, and General Feng Sheng was even there. I also saw the whole city shouting 'Uncle Champion'. General Zhu has extraordinary prestige in the army, and the name of Champion will surely be known throughout the army one day."

Although I just saw and witnessed the scene of Feng Bo.

But apparently this has become a topic of conversation for Xiao Han.

This time I came back.

Xiao Han immediately reported this to his own captain, and reported it up the chain of command.

After confirming the identity.

Who dares to neglect Zhu Ying's family?
Zhu Yingke is the benchmark of the Daning border army and a hero of the entire Daning Prefecture.

If anything happened to his family in Daning Prefecture, it would be a serious crime.

"Brother Zhu Ying, you really did an outstanding job." Shen Yuer was also happy for Zhu Ying.

"Uncle Lin."

"Miss Shen."

The captain who had just arrived also saluted the two of them respectfully with his fists clasped.

"Master Baihu."

When Lin Fu saw the attire, he immediately returned the gift.

"Uncle Lin, there's no need to do this."

"I cannot bear this gift."

The captain immediately stepped aside and said, "General Zhu is a hero of our Daning Prefecture, and even more so of our Ming Dynasty."

"It is my honor to be able to greet Mr. and Mrs. Lin on behalf of General Zhu."

"This time, the emperor has granted General Zhu a mansion in Daning, as well as servants. I, under the orders of the thousand-householder, have come here to escort the two of you to Daning Prefecture." The captain said with a smile.

"Heading to Daning Prefecture?" Lin Fu was stunned.

"Huizhou is close to Liaodong after all. Now that the Ming Dynasty is attacking Liaodong with all its might, Huizhou is also considered a battle zone. For your safety, you two should return to Daning."

"Furthermore, the four assassins who came to assassinate us today might be the work of those scum from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. In that case, we must escort the two of you to the capital."

"If anything happens to the two of you, I really won't be able to explain to General Zhu." The captain looked at the corpses on the ground and his expression became extremely serious.

If I had been a step later, the consequences would have been disastrous.
