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

Chapter 114 Shen Wansan: Zhu Ying is that Zhu Ying! Uncle Guanjun, it’s that kid!

Outside Zhu Ying's tent, the wind was so cold that the canvas of the tent was rustling!

After entering winter, Liaodong in the north has indeed gradually entered the cold season.

"General." Liu Lei stood up straight, his expression respectful, and bowed to Zhu Ying with his hands clasped together. "It's still the same old routine. The hot water is ready."

Zhu Ying was wearing a red cloak and heavy armor. Although his overall attributes were strong, his face showed signs of fatigue left on the battlefield after a day of fighting.

Look at Liu Lei.

Zhu Ying smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said, "Let the brothers go down and rest. Now that Liaoyang has been secured, we don't need to worry too much about the next battle."

"Yes."

Liu Lei responded, saluted again, turned around quickly, strode out of the tent and conveyed Zhu Ying's order.

Zhu Ying looked at Liu Lei's departing back and smiled faintly.

Then he slowly turned around and stepped into the tent.

In the tent!
As the general who is now in charge of the Daning border army, it is naturally different.

The blazing charcoal fire made the entire tent warm, and a steaming bathtub was placed aside, with steam rising from it.

Zhu Ying raised his hand and slowly took off the armor that was stained with blood and smelled of rust. Then he undressed and stepped into the bathtub.

"Cool!"

Soaking in the bathtub, Zhu Ying couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his tense muscles gradually relaxing under the immersion of hot water.

Leaning on the edge of the bathtub, squinting his eyes slightly, his thoughts drifted back to the gains of this battle, and an excited smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"The harvest from this Liaoyang battle is really not small."

Zhu Ying thought to himself: "One second-level treasure chest, three first-level treasure chests, five ordinary treasure chests, and an extra treasure map."

"Nine treasure chests, and there is also a second-level treasure chest that has never been obtained."

"As long as you're a little luckier, you can get magical weapons, secret techniques, and all of these."

Most of these treasure chests were captured in the Battle of Liaoyang.

Basically, they were obtained by beheading generals. After entering the city, as soon as Zhu Ying saw those Yuan generals, he rushed forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, seizing every opportunity to kill them.

After all, generals above ten thousand generals have invisible official luck and are much more valuable than ordinary soldiers.

Zhu Ying couldn't suppress his inner anticipation. He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and immediately said to himself, "Open all the treasure chests."

moment!

Command response.

"Open five ordinary treasure chests."

"Obtain [1000 taels of gold]."

"Obtain a [Compass]."

"Obtained a blueprint for the advanced mechanism [Crossbow Tower]."

"Obtained the Yellow-rank, lower-grade martial art [Eight Extreme Fist]."

"Obtain ten bottles of [Hemostatic Powder]."

"Open three first-level treasure chests."

"Obtained the low-grade Xuan-level martial art [Rage]."

"Obtain the [Cement] Manufacturing Catalog."

"Obtained the [Anthracite] Mining Technology Catalog."

"Open the second-level treasure chest."

"Obtain [Ming Dynasty Hongwu Era - Surrounding Map]."

Panel prompt sounds rang in Zhu Ying's mind one after another.

All nine treasure chests were opened.

"This... is fucking..."

Zhu Ying opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment. This astonishment was not caused by joy, but was full of confusion and disbelief.

Compared with the gains from the previous eight treasure chests, the result of this second-level treasure chest seemed to be extremely bad luck.

"A compass, well, it's just an ordinary treasure chest after all. It will be useful during marches and battles. I won't get lost like I did in the Jiannu territory."

Zhu Ying frowned slightly and comforted himself.

"A crossbow tower, this should be used for defense. It's an advanced mechanism, not bad."

"When I really build my own foundation in the future, I can use it to defend the city. The effect should be quite good." Zhu Ying's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the bathtub, his eyes filled with thought.

"Bajiquan is not bad either, at least it has reached the highest level. It's a killing skill. I can teach it to my loyal followers in the future."

Zhu Ying nodded slightly, acknowledging this gain.

"What came out of these three first-level treasure chests is pretty good. At least there's one Xuan-level martial art. Once you reach this level, it will be incredible." A bright light flashed in Zhu Ying's eyes.

"Cement and anthracite, these two seem good too."

"Especially cement. This stuff is very useful in this era. Not only can it strengthen city defenses, but it can also repair roads. The effect is extremely great. Even for reinforcing riverbanks and bridges, cement is very useful. I didn't expect that I would open all of this. This first-level treasure chest is worth it."

A relieved smile appeared on Zhu Ying's face.

however.

When Zhu Ying's eyes fell on the map that was opened from the only second-level treasure chest, his smile stopped instantly, replaced by an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to.

After so long of conquering, the only second-level treasure chest I got actually opened up a worthless map.

Even if it's martial arts secrets or magical weapons, it will be fine!

after all.

The map that had previously revealed the [Imperial Seal] was acceptable, after all, it was a gift from heaven that would bring eternal prosperity!

But now a map of the surrounding areas of Ming Dynasty Hongwu has been opened.

Zhu Ying was filled with helplessness and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I already had the [Imperial Seal] map. It would have been nice if you had also opened a map of the [Nine Cauldrons of China]. After all, it's also the symbol of Chinese imperial power. When I founded my kingdom, I could hold the Imperial Seal in my left hand and point at the Nine Cauldrons with my right, and claim to be the legitimate Chinese. But I only opened this surrounding map, and the most valuable second-level treasure chest. My luck is too bad."

"Extract the map."

Zhu Ying sighed helplessly. Since the treasure chest had been opened, there was no regret and no way to reopen it. He could only retrieve the map first to see what was inside.

next moment.

Zhu Ying only felt a slight heaviness in his hand, and there was a leather map.

Slowly unfolding the map, the territory of the Ming Empire was clearly presented on the map, as well as the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, to the north, south, east and west, all clearly visible.

"This map is not a world map, at most it is a map of Asia. It includes the countries in Southeast Asia, the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Golden Horde north of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the west, etc. Just talking about the Asian region, it is very detailed." Zhu Ying looked at the map carefully and muttered to himself.

"A second-level treasure chest! This is it."

"I can accept it whether it's from an ordinary treasure chest or a first-level treasure chest." Zhu Ying felt helpless and depressed.

He finally got a second-level treasure chest, but this was the thing that came out of it. It was really hard for him to calm down.

"Yellow rank, lower grade, Bajiquan."

"Xuan rank, lower grade, violent."

"Extract all." Zhu Ying calmed down and gave the order.

next moment.

He only felt a strong surge in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if an invisible force was instilling the two martial arts secrets into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Bajiquan, a killing skill. It's good enough to be in the first level."

Zhu Ying felt the various information about Bajiquan in his mind and nodded secretly.

"As for this violent, lower-grade Xuan-level ability, it can actually increase strength and internal energy in a short period of time."

"It will double in the early stage, triple in the middle stage, and triple in the late stage."

"However, this thing will make people weak. If you use this martial art in the initial stage of cultivation, you will have to stay in bed for at least five days."

"This is also a life-saving martial art in critical moments. My overall attributes have reached 5,000 points now. If I am really forced to this point, it will be like the Hongmen Banquet, where I will be surrounded by thousands of troops. No, this kind of thing doesn't seem to take my life." Zhu Ying secretly pondered the pros and cons of this martial art in his heart.

Coming back to his senses, Zhu Ying said softly, "Attribute panel."

In an instant, a transparent panel appeared in front of his eyes.

"The Battle of Liaodong has achieved great success and our strength has skyrocketed!" Zhu Ying looked at all his attributes with excitement on his face, and his heart was filled with emotion.

…………

Beiping Prefecture!
The streets of the city were silent, with only the occasional sound of the night watchman beating the drum.

Inside the palace, the lights were brightly lit. Zhu Di, dressed in his royal robes, sat in his study, clutching a secret report. His brow furrowed slightly, then he slowly unfolded it, a look of emotion on his face.

"Liaodong is finally going to be settled."

"Nahach is dead too."

"In eight months, nearly 300,000 troops under Nahachu's command were annihilated."

"Liaodong, which has been exiled from our Chinese Han nation for hundreds of years, has returned." Zhu Di murmured to himself, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

As a prince of the Ming Dynasty and the son of the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di's heart is full of honor and pride at this moment.

This kind of victory means the return to the homeland, which is worthy of the pride of every citizen of the Ming Dynasty and every Han citizen.

This is like the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that were lost during the Song Dynasty, which has always been a pain for the Han people. The loss of Liaodong lasted even longer, and the Han people were enslaved by the Yuan court for hundreds of years.

The emergence of the Ming Dynasty is to restore the dignity of the Han people in China and reshape the soul of the Han people!

The return of Liaodong made the Ming Dynasty more orthodox and restored the glory of the Han Dynasty!

"The current emperor is a man of great talent and strategy. He is able to recover Liaodong and make his reputation even greater."

Yao Guangxiao sat on the cushion as usual, wearing a black monk's robe, with a calm expression, as if everything was calm in front of him, like a monk who had seen through the world.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely do better than my father."

Zhu Di raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, and also a longing for the future.

"Your Majesty will have a chance."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, his smile revealing confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"Do you know who killed Nahachu?" Zhu Di turned his head, his eyes fixed on Yao Guangxiao, and asked. Yao Guangxiao raised his head, his eyes flickering slightly. After a moment of thought, he slowly said, "Could it be that Zhu Ying again?"

Hear this answer.

Zhu Di nodded affirmatively.

Then he said: "This boy is a fierce and brave general."

"Nearly all the great achievements in the Liaodong expedition were his. Nahachu was also a hero, and perhaps he was unwilling to die at the hands of Zhu Ying."

"A battle in Liaodong, a battle in Northern Xinjiang!"

"The biggest gain was not Feng Sheng, nor those brave generals from Huaixi, but the originally unknown Zhu Ying." Zhu Di was very emotional.

With Naha's death and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops, Liaodong returned to the Ming Dynasty.

All these military achievements also laid the foundation for the emergence of a new and cutting-edge general in the Ming Dynasty.

"With the Liaodong War over, Zhu Yingbi was promoted to the rank of Guard Commander, commanding the Daning Border Army."

Yao Guangxiao said this with certainty, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence.

"The position of commander of the Daning Guard is naturally beyond doubt."

"but."

"How can such a talented person be used by me?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He stood up and paced back and forth in the study.

"Your Majesty."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di calmly and said slowly, "You've had Jin Zhong investigating for so long, and there should be some clues. If you want to subdue Zhu Ying, you must first find out all his details, and more importantly, find out everything about how he entered Daning."

"I've already asked Jin Zhong to investigate. After all, in my Beiping Prefecture, even if there's only one name, we can still find some clues."

"I hope that I can use this to make Zhu Ying serve me. If not, I will have to use some other means, otherwise this boy will become my great enemy." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

at the same time!

Also in the city of Beiping, in the lobby of the Shen family, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

The flickering candlelight illuminated everyone's gloomy faces.

"Father." Shen Rong looked flustered as he hurried into the lobby, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "I've checked everything."

Shen Wansan sat in the main seat, wearing a gorgeous silk robe, looking very luxurious and honorable. He stared at Shen Rong, his old face full of anxiety and heaviness, as if he had a premonition of something bad.

So even though Shen Rong hadn't spoken yet, Shen Wansan already had a guess in his mind.

"real!"

Shen Rong swallowed his saliva and said in a dry voice: "That Zhu Ying from the Daning Border Army is exactly that kid. My Shen family has made a great enemy."

Shen Rong's face looked extremely ugly, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds.

now.

The same thing happened to Shen Wansan, who was sitting in the main seat. His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled slightly, and he murmured, "How could it be him? How could it be him!"

"He was just a teenager, how could he have such a fate? He became a general and was even made an earl. Earl of Champion."

With every word Shen Wansan spoke, his expression became uglier.

"Father."

Shen Rong looked at Shen Wansan anxiously, his eyes filled with worry. "What should we do? We originally plotted to get Zhu Ying to Daning in order to kill him. The assassins we sent to kill Lin Fu and Shen Yu'er also failed. They must have figured out that we were the ones who sent them. Now that Zhu Ying is in power, he will definitely not let us go."

There was a strong sense of worry in Shen Rong's voice.

Their Shen family is already one of the top businessmen. Although they are not as wealthy as a country, they have enormous wealth. However, they live in the Ming Dynasty, and what they fear is the power of the Ming Dynasty!
And Zhu Ying just happens to have power now!
now.

Shen Rong's two younger brothers stood aside, their faces equally grim.

Once upon a time, they regarded Zhu Ying as an ant that could be easily dealt with. With their money and power, Zhu Ying was easily transferred to Daning Prefecture.

In their imagination, Zhu Ying would die quietly in Daning, without any flaws, and no one would even suspect their Shen family.

But now everything has changed.

Not only did Zhu Ying not die in Daning, but he also gained promotion and became prominent by suppressing bandits, defending against enemies, and taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's foreign military operations.

Now he has become a general commanding tens of thousands of troops, and has been made an earl. He is also the highest-ranking military officer, the [Champion].

Zhu Ying has now entered Yingtian Prefecture and caught the attention of the current emperor.

The future is bound to be promising!
The hereditary earl and the position of General Daning were definitely not Zhu Ying's end.

Reaching the highest position in the country might be the end of Zhu Ying's career.

And now.

Their Shen family has already offended Zhu Ying so much that there is absolutely no possibility of any recovery.

If there was a way before, it was through Shen Yuer. Perhaps because of her surname Shen, Zhu Ying would show mercy to the Shen family in the future. However, after the Shen family sent assassins to assassinate Lin Fu and Shen Yuer, all these recourses have been completely blocked by the Shen family.

There is no turning back between the Shen family and Zhu Ying, and it will be a fight to the death!

"Why panic?"

Shen Wansan slammed the table, stood up, and glared at Shen Rong with a gloomy face: "I am not dead yet. As the eldest son of our Shen family, how can you be so uncalm?"

"Father." Shen Rong looked at Shen Wansan nervously, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak again, but the ripples in his eyes showed that he was unable to calm down.

"Second brother." Shen Wansan looked at his second son, Shen Wang, with a serious expression: "How is the migration going?"

"Go back to father."

Shen Wang quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "According to your instructions, after the marriage with the Lu family, our Shen family moved 70% of our wealth to Yingtian Prefecture. We have already purchased a lot of properties in Yingtian Prefecture, and the mansion is ready. If you want to move, you can do so at any time."

"There is no time to lose." Shen Wansan's eyes were firm, without any hesitation, he said immediately: "We will start moving to Yingtian Prefecture tomorrow."

"Father."

Shen Rong raised his head, a trace of resignation on his face. "Wouldn't this be too much of a fuss? Although we tricked Zhu Ying into enlisting in Daning, everything complies with the court's recruitment regulations. My Shen family hasn't done anything excessive on the surface. Even if we sent assassins, they would be deadly. They wouldn't be able to trace us. If we move directly to Yingtian Prefecture, wouldn't that mean we're giving up our properties around Beiping Prefecture?"

As soon as these words fell.

Everyone's eyes were focused on their father again.

"Zhu Yingben is just a young and inexperienced person."

Shen Wansan spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "And judging from his past character, it can be seen that this boy is definitely a person who will seek revenge."

"He now holds military power, and Daning Prefecture borders Beiping Prefecture. If he truly wants to fight to the death with my Shen family, then wouldn't my Shen family really fall into his trap?"

Shen Wansan said this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head slightly: "Since he is now in power, then my Shen family will avoid his edge."

Shen Wansan sat up straight, his eyes firm, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination: "Although my Shen family is extremely wealthy, we are still the people. The people should not fight against the officials. This is an unwavering principle from ancient times to the present."

"But once he arrives in Yingtian Prefecture, it's no longer a place where he can act recklessly."

Shen Wansan raised his chin slightly, with a calculating glint in his eyes.

"Furthermore..." Shen Wansan paused, leaning forward slightly, a calculating look in his eyes: "Yingtian Prefecture is the capital of the Ming Dynasty after all. My Shen family has formed marriages with many powerful people and spent so much money on them. Isn't it all to help our family rise to a higher level?"

"Yingtian Prefecture offers greater opportunities for my Shen family."

"With the Lu family's connections, if we can obtain the mining rights to the coal and salt mines, it would be a real profit spree."

"Of course, no matter what, as long as there are people in the court, it will be easy to get things done."

As Shen Wansan spoke, he gently stroked his beard, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a confident smile.

Listen to Shen Wansan's words.

Shen Rong and his brothers sat around, initially with some confusion and worry on their faces, but as Shen Wansan spoke, they gradually understood and nodded.

A trace of admiration flashed in Shen Rong's eyes. He looked at Shen Wansan and secretly sighed in his heart that although his father was old, he had experienced two dynasties after all. His experience and ability to steer the family were far beyond their reach.

"Father."

Shen Rong bowed slightly, his expression respectful yet with a hint of his own thoughts: "Even if we have to move, we can't give up our industries in the north."

"My son thinks that someone should stay in Beiping Prefecture."

"Hasn't it been rumored for a long time? The current emperor and the crown prince have long considered moving the capital, and have been secretly exploring the location of the new capital."

"If someone stays in Beiping Prefecture and comes to Xindu, whether it is in the north or the south, my Shen family can seize the best opportunity to enter Xindu and purchase property, expand my Shen family, and seize the opportunity."

After Shen Rong finished speaking, he raised his head cautiously and looked at Shen Wansan tentatively, his eyes full of expectation for recognition.

Obviously, this decision still needs to be made by Shen Wansan.

Hearing Shen Rong's proposal, Shen Wansan was slightly stunned, and a thoughtful look slowly appeared on his old face.

He leaned back in his chair, looked deeply into the corner of the lobby, and fell into deep thought.

After a while.

Shen Wansan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Rong, a relieved smile on his face.

"Rong'er,"

Shen Wansan said gently: "You are right this time."

"Although the industry has moved to Yingtian Prefecture, my Shen family will focus on developing in the south in the future, but we cannot give up on the north."

Shen Wansan's eyes were full of expectations. As his eldest son, he would be the head of the Shen family in the future, so he naturally had high hopes for him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Dad." Shen Rong's face was immediately filled with excitement. He straightened his body, his eyes flashing with joy. He was very happy to receive his father's affirmation.

"Wang'er." Shen Wansan raised his eyes slightly, his old eyes still as sharp as a torch, and fell on his second son Shen Wang again.

Hearing this, Shen Wang's body suddenly stiffened, his heart felt uneasy, and a trace of uneasiness instantly appeared on his face.

He naturally understood what Shen Wansan was going to say next, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Father."

Shen Wang's voice trembled slightly, but due to Shen Wansan's authority, he could only respond with a stiff upper lip.

"Tomorrow, my entire Shen family will move to Yingtian Prefecture."

Shen Wansan stared at Shen Wang with a firm gaze: "You stay in Beiping Prefecture. From now on, all the business in the north will be temporarily handed over to you to manage."

Shen Wansan's tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.

Shen Wang slowly stood up, clasped his hands together, bowed his head slightly, and replied respectfully, "Yes."

Although his voice was steady, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner tension and anxiety, and of course more of it was unwillingness.

The Shen family moved to Yingtian Prefecture, and the main family was basically in Yingtian from then on. Beiping Prefecture was ultimately a side branch.

"besides."

Shen Wansan's voice suddenly turned cold, and a cold look appeared in his old eyes: "The people who participated in the attack on Zhu Yingru Daning Border Army!"

The three sons' slightly relaxed expressions suddenly tensed up, and they all turned to look at Shen Wansan.

"All the insiders of my Shen family have been dealt with."

Shen Wansan said coldly, his voice seemed to carry a hint of chill: "Although we have moved to Yingtian Prefecture, my Shen family's roots are still in Peking. Even if Zhu Ying knows that it was my Shen family who harmed him, I will make sure he dies without any evidence."

"The laws of the Ming Dynasty are strict. Without evidence, it would be a frame-up! If he really dares to do something reckless, the law will not let him off."

As Shen Wansan spoke, he clenched his fists, a smug sneer on his face, full of calculation.

"My father is wise."

Shen Rong and his brothers complimented him in unison, their faces full of smiles, but they were all thinking about something else in their hearts.

The atmosphere in the lobby became increasingly oppressive and full of calculations.
