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

Chapter 208 The Champion Marquis, Sealing the Wolf's Den! Shaking the World!
The feat of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xuxu Mountains!
As long as they are Han Chinese.

As long as they are people from this Central Plains.

Even the former nomadic tribes of the grasslands.

Who doesn't know the feat of sealing the wolf's lair?
How dashing and spirited Huo Qubing was in his former championship glory!

The might of the Han Dynasty, displayed throughout the world, was established by the very power of the Han Dynasty.

And now.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, his subject, the Marquis of Champion of the Ming Dynasty, did not fail to live up to the prestige brought by the title of "Marquis of Champion." He also created the feat of sealing the wolf's lair.

Moreover, he was even more outstanding than Huo Qubing, the champion of the past.

Because the Marquis of Champion of the Ming Dynasty had captured the Yuan Emperor and seven or eight ministers of the vast Northern Yuan Empire.

How could this not be exhilarating?
"Sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu."

"Zhu Ying actually accomplished such a remarkable feat."

"We captured the Yuan Emperor and defeated the Yuan army."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the victory report in his hand. Even he, so dignified and composed, was completely astonished by the report.

It can be said.

This excited Zhu Yuanzhang even more than the victory he had achieved in the Battle of Hongdu.

"Hahaha."

After reading the news of victory, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling extremely excited.

The gazes of all the officials were filled with anticipation.

finally.

Zhu Biao couldn't hold back any longer.

"Father."

"Just how great was the victory that this report of victory could make Father so happy?"

"Even when the Marquis of Champion defeated the Northern Yuan cavalry head-on with our Ming cavalry, my father was never so moved," Zhu Biao asked with a smile, full of curiosity.

"Biao'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son, his old face trembling with emotion, revealing his excitement.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang then looked at the assembled civil and military officials and raised the victory report high in his hand.

"Our Great Ming Dynasty now has a general who is no less than, or even stronger than, the former champion Marquis Huo Qubing."

"Our Marquis of Champion of the Great Ming Dynasty has made the great achievement of sealing the wolf and dwelling in the Xu."

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly, extremely excited.

As soon as these words fell.

The entire court was astonished.

Whether they are military or civil officials.

Everyone was astonished by what Zhu Yuanzhang said at that moment.

"Fenglang Juxu?"

"Did Zhu Ying achieve the feat of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xu?"

“Is…is this true?”

"The feat of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xuxu Mountains would be enough to utterly destroy the Northern Yuan royal court, or even truly crush the Northern Yuan."

"In the past, Marquis Huo Qubing, the champion, went straight to the Xiongnu royal court, even captured the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu, and slaughtered dozens of Xiongnu tribes."

"His Majesty said that Zhu Ying's achievement of sealing the wolf's lair was even greater than that of the former Marquis of Champion. Could it be that he really destroyed the Northern Yuan royal court?"

"impossible."

"Although Zhu Ying is powerful and once defeated the strongest cavalry of the Northern Yuan, the northern frontier is vast. Whether he can even find the Northern Yuan royal court is another matter. How could he possibly achieve a major victory?"

"you do not say."

"It is said."

"The 100,000 cavalrymen who ventured deep into the northern frontier this time were forcibly put together, and they were even divided into two groups. Even if the Northern Yuan is defeated, they still have hundreds of thousands of troops. How can 50,000 troops defeat hundreds of thousands of Northern Yuan troops? That's impossible, isn't it?"

……

now.

The ministers in the court were all whispering and discussing among themselves.

Obviously.

They were all astonished by the victory at Fenglangjuxu.

This is bound to cause discussion.

"Father."

"This...this is really true?"

"Zhu Ying... he's sealed the Wolf's Nest?"

Zhu Biao also opened his eyes wide, looking at his father in disbelief.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, holding up the victory report, extremely pleased: "Crown Prince, do you think I'm the kind of person who talks nonsense?"

"The achievement of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xuxu Mountains".

"This is the real deal."

"No falsification is allowed."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Subsequently.

His gaze shifted and landed on Yun Qi, who was standing to the side.

"Read it to us."

“Read it aloud.”

"Let all of you know the might of the Marquis of Champion of our Great Ming Dynasty, let all of you know that our Great Ming Dynasty also has generals who can conquer the wolf's lair." Zhu Yuanzhang said with utmost seriousness, unable to hide his excitement.

echoed.

Yun Qi immediately and respectfully presented the report of victory.

Then he walked to the edge of the steps, calmed himself down, and faced the assembled officials, preparing to read the report.

The discussions that had been taking place in the imperial court also quieted down.

now.

They naturally dared not utter a sound, wanting to hear what the victory report actually said, and even more so, wanting to know whether the achievement of sealing the wolf's lair was truly well-deserved, or not exaggerated.

after all.

The act of sealing the wolf's lair is not simply a matter of arriving at the Wolf Lair Mountain!

Rather, it is the real achievement, the real result of the battle.

Only by achieving, or even surpassing, the accomplishments of Huo Qubing in the past can one be called the "meritorious deed of sealing the wolf's lair".

"Your subject, Guo Ying, respectfully reports to Your Majesty!"

"now."

"Our army, which has penetrated deep into the northern frontier, has returned in triumph."

"General Zhu Ying, the Marquis of Champion, broke through the Northern Yuan royal court, captured the Yuan emperor, and made the great achievement of sealing the wolf's lair!"

Just those first few sentences.

This achievement and victory have already been announced.

Obviously.

Once this sentence is uttered, a series of victories follow, which form the basis of everything.

All the officials watched, but they understood why the emperor had stood up so suddenly after receiving the report of victory, unable to hide his excitement. It all stemmed from the fact that the emperor had "captured the Yuan Emperor and achieved the feat of sealing the wolf's lair."

Yun Qi calmed himself down.

For Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was an immense honor for the Ming Dynasty to possess a general who had achieved the feat of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xu state. This achievement would be forever recorded in history, and the emperor himself would leave an indelible mark on the record, further enhancing his prestige in the annals of history.

As the person who read out this good news, Yun Qi naturally felt a sense of pride.

Although he was a eunuch with a disabled body, he was once a Chinese man with his country in his heart.

"Marquis Zhu Ying, the champion, led 50,000 cavalrymen from the Daming Garrison of our Great Ming Dynasty to the northern frontier, in accordance with the imperial decree, to completely quell the calamity of the Northern Yuan."

"The campaign in the northern frontier lasted for three months."

"After many hardships."

"Records the battle results of the garrison commander Yu Suijunwei."

"After penetrating deep into the northern frontier, he slaughtered seventy-five Northern Yuan tribes at the hands of the Champion Marquis. Whenever a tribe was conquered, the Champion Marquis followed the grassland rules: anyone taller than a cartwheel was immediately beheaded."

“The entire Northern Yuan ethnic group is a soldier; killing their able-bodied men is equivalent to killing their soldiers.”

"In their tribe, more than 100,000 able-bodied men were slaughtered."

Here.

Yun Qi paused for a moment, his eyes filled with horror.

Such victories, such carnage.

Even just seeing the victory report evoked a sense of unease, a terrifying sense of killing intent.

"More than 100,000 young men from the Northern Yuan were killed."

"On this northern frontier, rivers of blood flow."

"Moreover, these are all young and strong men from the Northern Yuan. This is a true bloodbath. The Northern Yuan will have no way to recover in just a few years."

"The northern frontier has enjoyed peace for several years."

"The actions of the Marquis of Champion seem to be too bloody, too immoral, and too wicked. Our Great Ming Dynasty is a land of Chinese civilization and etiquette. How can we treat people so cruelly?"

"Duke Yansheng, you've gone too far with your words. When the Yuan dynasty massacred our Han people in the past, why didn't you say it was a heinous crime?"

“You… Marquis of Champion only needed to capture the ringleader. It would have been fine if Emperor Yuan had captured him, but the slaughter of civilians is too much.”

"The Duke Yansheng truly knows nothing of the battlefield, nor of hardship."

"I cannot condone the actions of the Marquis of Champion."

"Hehe." "Duke Yansheng, it's no use if you don't like it. This is the achievement of our Great Ming and the fruit of China! Marquis Champion has truly brought honor to our Great Ming. This time, the Northern Yuan is finished."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was not at all surprised by the reactions of the ministers in the court.

They slaughtered over 100,000 young men and women of the Northern Yuan.

These numbers alone evoke images of endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Moreover, the Ming army was indeed waging war in the northern border regions.

"Keep reading, don't stop."

"Let all of you know the might of the Ming army!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to Yun Qi, who had paused.

They were clearly in a hurry.

Obviously.

With such a victory, he, as the emperor, felt extremely honored.

"After two months of fighting, we penetrated deep into the northern frontier."

"The Marquis of Champion finally found the location of the Northern Yuan royal court, but the Yuan emperor was cunning and had already withdrawn from the royal court. The royal court was empty, and it was filled with gunpowder and other flammable materials. Three hundred thousand Yuan troops were lying in ambush at the royal court. Once the Marquis of Champion broke into the royal court, he would be surrounded and killed by three hundred thousand Yuan troops."

"Of course."

"The Marquis of Champion was extremely cautious. Realizing that there was an ambush at the Northern Yuan royal court, he directly charged eastward towards the royal court, leading 50,000 iron cavalry in a surprise attack."

"The Yuan army on the east was caught off guard by the surprise attack of the Marquis of Champion and was routed."

"The newly appointed General of the Northern Yuan, Ma'erke'er, was killed by the Marquis of Champion, rendering the Northern Yuan's plan to ambush him with 300,000 troops futile."

"In this battle, the Marquis of Champions decisively defeated the 300,000-strong army, killing more than 70,000 enemy soldiers, achieving a great victory."

"After this battle."

"The Marquis of Champion led his army in pursuit, crossing the Langjuxu Mountain and striking the Buyur Lake where the Yuan Emperor was located. They defeated the temporary royal court of the Northern Yuan and captured the Yuan Emperor and eighty percent of his ministers alive."

"They captured more than ten thousand Northern Yuan nobles."

"now."

"The Yuan emperor and the nobles of the Northern Yuan have all been escorted back to the Great Wall of our Great Ming."

"The Northern Yuan has become a mere shell of its former self under the attack of the Champion Marquis."

"One day, the northern border of our Great Ming will no longer be the same as that of the Northern Yuan."

"In this battle, the Marquis of Champion led 50,000 cavalry on a surprise attack, and over 42,000 troops returned. Eight thousand soldiers died in battle, but our Great Ming Dynasty killed hundreds of thousands of enemies and won a great victory."

"This report of victory was prepared in detail by the garrison commander who accompanied the army, and was personally submitted to the emperor by your subject, Guo Ying."

"I will report the details of troop losses to the Ministry of War at this meeting."

That's all for now.

That was the end.

Yun Qi's voice gradually calmed down.

but.

In the imperial court.

The expressions of all the civil and military officials became astonished and stunned.

Obviously.

Given these results...

The victory at Fenglangjuxu was a complete success.

Given these results...

The results achieved were even greater than those of Huo Qubing, the champion of the past.

Given these results...

Zhu Ying's achievements, especially his feat of sealing the wolf's lair, are beyond question by anyone.

"Such a victory was actually achieved by Zhu Ying."

"How is that possible?"

"He's only twenty years old, I think, not even twenty yet."

"The Marquis of Champion in the past was also at a young age when he achieved the feat of sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu. I never expected that there would be such an outstanding general in later generations."

"It's incredible."

"So young, yet with such achievements, creating the legendary Fenglangjuxu! Truly admirable!"

"With this military achievement, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will value Zhu Ying even more in the future. As long as Zhu Ying does not rebel, his family will prosper in the Ming Dynasty. No emperor would kill such a meritorious official. This is a real get-out-of-jail-free card."

"It really can't compare."

"I never expected that such results could be achieved at this time."

"Seal the wolf to live in Xu!"

"I've seen a lot in my life, but I never expected to see something like this."

"I'm convinced."

"..."

With this good news completely settled.

The ministers in the court were initially taken aback, but then the entire court erupted in uproar.

Every minister couldn't help but start discussing it.

Some people admired Zhu Ying, and some even envied him.

of course.

This is naturally a military general.

No military general could refuse such a great achievement.

of course.

There were also those who were jealous.

With such a great achievement, who wouldn't want it?

In the court thereafter.

In the future, Zhu Ying will be a true dignitary in public, a true high-ranking official in the court, the kind that no one can question.

Seeing the uproar and astonishment in the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, very satisfied and pleased.

On the stairs.

Zhu Biao's expression was also difficult to calm down.

"Biao'er."

"How do you feel?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at Zhu Biao, asking a question.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply troubled."

"Zhu Ying."

"He actually achieved the feat of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xu state."

"Your subject truly did not expect this."

Zhu Biao raised his head and said with a sigh.

Obviously.

Even Zhu Biao was greatly shocked at this moment.

Zhu Ying!

The first time I heard his name was when Zhu Yingli killed more than a hundred Tartars and made great contributions in battle.

At that time, I only thought he was exceptionally brave and strong.

Then, under Zhu Biao's keen eye, he grew step by step, rising through the ranks to become the Commander of the Guards, and eventually the Marquis of Champion, and was granted the title of Marquis.

Even though Zhu Biao valued Zhu Ying highly, he never imagined that Zhu Ying would achieve such military exploits.

It completely overturned his imagination.

"At the beginning!"

“We used to think you were overestimating Zhu Ying, but now it seems you were right.”

"This kid really didn't disappoint."

"The sealing of the wolf's lair and the dwelling of the mountain"—Zhu Yuanzhang said with deep emotion.

"Father, you should first think about how to reward Zhu Ying and preside over this court meeting," Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Zhu Yuanzhang also came to his senses and glanced at the noisy ministers in the hall.

"Alright!" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking...

The discussions in the Fengtian Hall gradually subsided.

All the officials and civil servants looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the high throne.

"Your Majesty."

"What are your thoughts?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"We congratulate His Majesty."

"The might of the Marquis of Champion is a blessing to our Great Ming Dynasty."

"His achievement of sealing the wolf's lair and residing in the Xu state will be forever recorded in history."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted one after another.

Faced with these cheers, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "My lords!"

"The Northern Yuan was driven out of the Central Plains step by step by our Great Ming. Now, the name of the Northern Yuan will be completely forgotten."

"The threat from the Northern Yuan has been completely eliminated by our Great Ming."

"In the future, the Northern Yuan will become history, never to return!!"
