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

Chapter 4: Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang!
Ying Tianfu!
Yingtian City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In the center of the city, the Ming Dynasty’s imperial palace is located, which is also the administrative center of the entire Ming Empire.

A place of divine power revered by countless Ming Dynasty people throughout the world.

Inside the palace.

Fengtian Palace!
An emperor who looked a bit old, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sat on the throne, his hands on the imperial desk, reviewing memorials.

Even though his face was old and he had reached the age of knowing the destiny, the majesty he exuded from his whole body, even if he was sitting there motionless, could make people feel an indescribable sense of oppression, and no one dared to look directly at this majesty.

He is the sky of the Ming Empire.

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was also an emperor who truly fought his way up to the supreme throne from the bottom of society, established the majesty of the Han family, changed the situation where the Han people were treated like grass, and rebuilt the power of the Han Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

This time!

A loud shout came from outside the hall.

A man wearing a red prince's robe, with a resolute expression and a majestic look, walked quickly into the hall.

No need to report, just enter Fengtian Hall directly.

Only one person in the entire Ming Empire has this right.

That is the crown prince with the most stable position, Zhu Biao.

of course.

Many years ago, there were two people, one of whom was Zhu Yuanzhang’s wife, the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, Ma.

The other person is Zhu Biao’s eldest son, Zhu Xiongying.

"The boss is here."

Seeing Zhu Biao coming, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial and smiled slightly.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only person who could make Zhu Yuanzhang smile so gently and kindly was Zhu Biao.

"Father."

"We just received a report from Daning Prefecture."

"The bandit problem in Daning Prefecture is getting worse and worse."

"In the border areas, bandits are rampant, looting caravans and killing civilians."

"More than a hundred crimes have been committed so far." Zhu Biao said with a serious expression.

"If it were an ordinary bandit problem, it would definitely not be so frequent. It seems that someone is secretly manipulating it, deliberately disrupting Daning Prefecture and disturbing the peace of the Ming Dynasty's border." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Father."

"Is it possible that the news of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been leaked?"

"So they want to do something on the border to disturb our Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Biao asked with some speculation.

"Most likely."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and his expression turned cold.

"Bei Yuan."

"Although they have been severely damaged by the Ming Dynasty, they have not yet been completely destroyed."

"This time, the little emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty still has ambitions to counterattack the Ming Dynasty. The Northern Yuan Dynasty's Grand Marshal Nahachu is even gathering troops and amassing a large army with the intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty."

"In the past, my father was kind enough to release him, but he did not appreciate the favor and remained loyal to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and eventually became a great trouble." Zhu Biao sighed.

It is obvious that Nahachu is also taken very seriously.

"Nahachu was known as the Northern Yuan's leader, and was also called another Wang Baobao by the Northern Yuan."

"We must destroy him before we can completely control the northeastern territory of our Ming Dynasty."

"All right."

"There's no need to dwell on this matter. His little tricks won't stop the Ming Dynasty from destroying him. As long as we get rid of him, destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be much easier."

"We have already conveyed the order to Feng Sheng, and he is already recruiting his troops."

"As for the procurement of food and supplies, Biao'er, you should handle this matter yourself. We don't trust those people."

"We will try to launch an attack on Nahachu within a few months," Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao.

"Your son obeys your order." Zhu Biao responded immediately.

"As for the bandit problem in Daning Prefecture, send a decree to the commander-in-chief of Taining Prefecture, and have him completely suppress the bandit problem in the entire Daning Prefecture and clear up the border and maintain peace."

"This matter must be resolved before Feng Sheng mobilizes his troops. If he fails, we will take his head." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Zhu Biao bowed and said, "Your son obeys my order."

Just as Zhu Biao turned around and prepared to leave.

"Boss."

"You are busy with state affairs every day. You must pay attention to rest and remember not to overwork yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a warm and kind face.

"Dad, don't worry."

"I'm still young, so naturally I have to share some of the burden with you, Dad. Otherwise, you will be too tired." Zhu Biao replied with a smile.

"In short, your health is important."

"We've already lost your mother and Xiongying, we can't lose you again."

"Ugh."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, his aged face filled with sadness.

Now the only person who can see Zhu Yuanzhang like this is Zhu Biao.

"father."

"I will be fine, and Dad will be fine too."

Zhu Biao said seriously.

……

Daning Prefecture!
barracks.

On the school field.

Nearly a thousand Ming army soldiers in armor gathered.

Every hundred men formed a military formation, with one hundred households standing in front of the formation.

The person standing on the reviewing platform was Wei Quan, the captain of the Ansha County Guard.

"My soldiers from Ansha Guard."

"I have returned with great success this time."

"All the bandits within a fifty-mile radius of Ansha County have been eliminated."

"Over 200 bandits were killed. All the soldiers deserve credit for their contributions."

"This bandit suppression campaign is over."

"The soldiers of the 100th Battalion in particular performed a remarkable feat, killing forty-eight enemies and seizing over a dozen chests of gold, silver, and treasure."

"Among them, many soldiers were brave and made great military achievements."

"According to the military merit system of the Ming Dynasty, he should be rewarded."

"Now, those whose names I have called out, please stand up and receive your military honors."

Wei Quan stood on the platform and said loudly.

Subsequently.

Wei Quan took a quick look and pulled out a roster: "100th Battalion, Liu Lei."

"The 100th Battalion, Zhu Ying."

"The 300th Battalion, Chen Xiong."

"Six hundredth Battalion, Wuyi."

……

Wei Quan read out nine names in a row.

When Zhu Ying heard his own name, he was also a little surprised, but he thought about how he had killed several bandits and a bandit leader in the bandit's lair.

This is a great military achievement!
In the Ming army.

Except for a few years ago when official positions could be inherited, this practice has ceased since the 15th year of Hongwu.

Nowadays, promotions are based on military merit.

A soldier can be promoted to a small flag if he kills five enemies, to a general flag if he kills ten enemies, and to a centurion if he kills a hundred enemies or kills a general instantly, or for other military achievements.

All military achievements will be recorded.

Strict military merit system has put an end to the hereditary succession system of the past.

"Liu Lei."

"You have made great contributions in leading the 100th Battalion to suppress bandits. I will reward you with 100 silver coins and commend you for your merit." Wei Quan said loudly.

"Thank you, Captain."

Liu Lei bowed.

"Zhu Ying."

Wei Quan's gaze fell on Zhu Ying.

"The mark is on."

Zhu Ying responded immediately, with anticipation in his heart.

This time.

He killed five enemies, at least a small flag, and beheaded the bandit leader, who was a centurion of the Tartars, which was an even greater achievement.

"You killed five enemies and beheaded the bandit leader, making you a great military achievement."

"According to the military merit system of our Ming Dynasty, you will be awarded a small flag, command ten soldiers, and be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." Wei Quan said loudly.

"Thank you, Captain."

Zhu Ying responded immediately.

This time!

A prompt appears on the panel...
