Chapter 151: The Northern Yuan Dynasty is nothing but shit!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the crowd, watching Zhu Yunhuan's figure gradually walk away until it finally disappeared.

He withdrew his gaze, his face full of emotion: "Our Ming Dynasty has never fought such a prosperous war!"

The Ming Dynasty had used military force against the grasslands more than once or twice, but he had never dared to think of directly dispatching 100,000 cavalry before.

Tang He, Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces.

"Okay, let's go back." Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and walked towards the courtyard.

Tang He, Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying followed.

Prince Jin’s Palace!
After Zhu Yunhuan left Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Tan and others once again came to Zhu Gang's mansion.

Zhu Gang was originally deep in thought in the study. After hearing the report from his servant, he was stunned for a moment, then walked into the living room with a frown.

In the morning, he had made his words very clear.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yunhuan left, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Tan and others came to find him again.

"Third Brother!"

Seeing Zhu Gang coming, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Tan and others stood up.

Zhu Gang's face was calm. He walked to the seat at the head and sat down. He said calmly, "Why did you come to see me again?"

"Third brother, please give us an idea. Should we leave Yingtian Prefecture?" Zhu Zhen said.

Zhu Tan took over Zhu Tan's words and nodded, "Yes, Third Brother, you can come up with an idea, and we will listen to you."

Zhu Gang shook his head and said softly, "I won't make any decisions for you. If you want to stay in Yingtian Prefecture, then stay. If you don't want to stay in Yingtian Prefecture, then leave."

"This..." Zhu Zhen, Zhu Tan and others looked at each other in confusion.

Zhu Gang waved his hand and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's all go back."

After saying this, he stood up and walked away without any more hesitation.

It’s a nice idea to let him take the lead.

If it were before, he would have been more than happy to accept this situation, because it would have increased his prestige, but now, forget it.

Now that Zhu Yunhuan is in charge of the Ming Dynasty, if one tries to collude with Zhu Zhen, Zhu Tan and others under such circumstances, disaster may come at any time.

Unless you have the ability to compete with Zhu Yunhuan, you'd better just lie down quietly.

"Third brother." Everyone was stunned and stared blankly at Zhu Gang as he left.

Zhu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. Whether to go or stay is entirely up to individual wishes. No one should feel too much psychological pressure. Third Brother already said this morning that as long as you work honestly, nothing will happen."

"Ugh"

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

Things have come to this point, and they don't have any better solutions.

"Let's go!" Zhu Chun took a deep breath and stood up.

"Shhhhh!"

Everyone stood up and walked out of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Beiping, Prince Yan's Mansion!

When Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others saw Zhu Quan, they were all stunned.

"This prince actually released Prince Ning?"

"Prince Ning is capable, but does he harbor resentment after being intercepted by the prince and brought to Peking? Releasing him at this time may not necessarily be a good thing."

"I almost forgot that Prince Ning is still imprisoned by the prince. Now that the situation in Ming Dynasty has stabilized, it is not impossible to release Prince Ning to overcome the current crisis. However, we need to be careful not to be tricked by Prince Ning."

"."

Various thoughts popped up in everyone's mind, and their eyes were filled with fear.

They all knew Zhu Quan's abilities, and he was very tough.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhu Quan was able to command the three guards of Doyan.

Although the three guards of Doyan were forced to surrender by the Ming Dynasty, they were still very unruly. It would take an ordinary general to command them.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Zhu Quan smiled and greeted Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others.

"Greetings, Prince Ning!" Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others looked at each other and shouted respectfully.

Although Zhu Quan is a very uncertain factor, on the other hand, if Zhu Quan is really willing to help sincerely, the possibility of defending Beiping will be higher.

"Hmph!" Zhu Quan snorted lightly, but didn't worry too much about it.

His dissatisfaction was directed at Zhu Di, and had nothing to do with Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others.

"Mr. Yuan, please tell your Seventeenth Uncle about the current situation." Zhu Gaochi looked at Yuan Gong and spoke.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yuan Gong nodded, calmed himself, looked at Zhu Quan, and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, this time the Northern Yuan army has changed its previous route of attacking from the sun and has placed its main force on the eastern route. The troops have now passed Gubeikou and are expected to arrive near Peking in four or five days."

"We have passed Gubeikou. What about Daning? What's the situation now?" Zhu Quan's face became serious.

He was a little restless. Daning was his fiefdom. If anything happened in Daning, he would definitely be the one who suffered the greatest loss.

"Uncle Seventeen, don't be anxious. The Northern Yuan Dynasty has a huge appetite to move south this time. They did not attack the city in Liaodong, but went directly south. They may want to cooperate with the central army to take down Beiping, thus opening a smooth road." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

Because the Northern Yuan Dynasty wanted to find an opportunity to swallow up the Ming Dynasty, they did not stay in the Liaodong area for too long.

Otherwise, if the Northern Yuan army had looted Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty would have suffered much greater losses. After all, the various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were in a state of disarray because the kings had gone to Beijing.

"Huh." Zhu Quan felt a little relieved when he heard Zhu Gaochi's words, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "I almost forgot that now that Yunhuan wants to reduce the power of the vassal states, Daning is no longer my fiefdom."

Zhu Gaochi said, "Seventeenth Uncle, although Daning is no longer your fiefdom, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Quan was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Zhu Gaochi and nodded heavily. He said, "You are right. Although Daning is no longer my fiefdom, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. I have also stayed in Daning for a long time. If possible, I don't want Daning to be captured by the Northern Yuan bandits."

"The problem now is that I'm not sure when the Northern Yuan will be able to know about the situation in our Ming Dynasty. Although I have tried my best to block it, I guess it won't be concealed for too long. Once the Northern Yuan knows that the turmoil in our Ming Dynasty is over, they will give up the idea of ​​going south to swallow up the Ming Dynasty and instead plunder Liaodong and Peking." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice.

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Gaochi in front of him with a hint of admiration in his eyes and said, "Gaochi, you are indeed worthy of being the son of Fourth Brother. You did the right thing in blocking the news."

He immediately saw through the Northern Yuan Dynasty's intentions and decisively sent people to block the news.

Even if he were to do this, he would not be able to do more than this.

"Prince, there's news from Yingtian Prefecture." A guard walked over with a letter.

"Swish, swish, swish!" In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the letter in the guard's hand.

They all knew very well that the letter in the guard's hand stated the court's attitude and response to the Northern Yuan invasion.

The Northern Yuan invaded because they saw the civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty and wanted to find an opportunity.

Everyone is very clear about this.

Once the Northern Yuan Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty was stable, it would withdraw its troops.

This point is also very clear in everyone's mind.

So, whether the imperial court sends troops or not, the final result will be the same.

Moreover, since Zhu Yunhuan had taken Yingtian Prefecture by force, he now needed time to consolidate his throne.

It can be said that not sending troops was Zhu Yunhuan's best option. However, the consequence of doing so was that Liaodong was plundered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After all, the Northern Yuan Dynasty invaded with such great fanfare, it was impossible for them to flee back to the grassland in disgrace after knowing that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was settled, right?

That's a bit unrealistic.

Even if Bayanchur, Arutai and others agreed, the soldiers under their command would not agree.

The grassland is different from the Central Plains.

Strictly speaking, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not a whole, but was composed of tribes of various sizes.

When the Northern Yuan Dynasty chose to move south, it would gather these tribes, large and small, with you providing 500 soldiers and he providing 1,000 soldiers, and thus the troops would be gathered.

As for dry food, money and other things, you have to bring your own dry food, but you need to rob money yourself. The more you rob, the more you get, and if you don’t rob, you will get nothing.

In this situation, who can stop the Northern Yuan army from plundering Liaodong?

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, stepped forward, took the letter from the guard's hand, and waved his hand, saying, "Go!"

The guard bowed, turned and walked away.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Zhu Gaochi opened the letter and looked down at the contents.

After a moment, he opened his eyes wide, his face filled with shock that he couldn't hide: "The emperor is leading the army in person?"

"what's the situation?"

Zhu Quan, Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others looked at Zhu Gaochi with a look of surprise in their eyes.

Zhu Gaochi's face was filled with excitement as he said to everyone, "Everyone, good news, very good news! His Majesty is personally leading the army to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"what!"

Everyone exclaimed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Under the current circumstances, it is already good enough that the court is willing to send troops. But now Zhu Yunhuan wants to lead the army in person. Is this true?
After the shock, everyone looked puzzled.

"Prince, does His Majesty really want to lead the army in person?" Yuan Gong asked.

"That's what the letter says. If you don't believe me, read it yourself." Zhu Gaochi handed the letter to Yuan Gong.

After receiving the letter, Yuan Gong looked down and said, "Your Majesty really wants to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty, isn't that right?"

He didn't know what to say.

An emperor, an emperor who had just ascended the throne through force, faced with foreign invasion and chose to lead the army in person without hesitation before he even had time to warm up to the throne. Isn't this too violent?
Zhu Quan opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty is really irritable!"

"Indeed!" Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Gaochi smiled broadly and said, "Besides anything else, your Majesty personally leading the army is a good thing for us and the people of Liaodong."

At this moment, he relaxed completely, and the heavy burden on his body disappeared without a trace.

"Yes, although your majesty's behavior seems a bit impulsive and irrational, it is a great blessing for the people of Liaodong." Yuan Gong's face was full of emotion.

As an emperor, he was furious.

This is undoubtedly an immature behavior.

However, as the party that benefits from this, who can not be excited?
For example, for the people of Liaodong, does it matter whether the emperor is mature or not, as he can fight for them and save their lives with a sword in hand?

"I have a feeling that the Northern Yuan Dynasty is going to be in big trouble this time!" said Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Quan nodded and said, "Of course it's bad luck. Your Majesty personally led the army to fight. It's not enough to just resolve the crisis in Liaodong!"

"It's indeed not enough. The letter says that Your Majesty wants to pacify the grassland so that our Ming Dynasty will no longer be threatened by the grassland." Yuan Gong picked up the letter.

"Pacify the grassland!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"The grassland is too vast. It is too difficult to pacify it." Zhu Quan shook his head.

He did not say that Zhu Yunhuan could not pacify the grassland. Although everyone present was Zhu Di's subordinate, Zhu Di had already defected to Zhu Yunhuan.

Therefore, all the people present could be regarded as Zhu Yunhuan's men.

If he said something inappropriate and it got to Zhu Yunhuan's ears, wouldn't that get him into trouble?
"Yes, the grassland is too vast, and it is very difficult to pacify it, but I believe Your Majesty can do it." Zhu Gaochi's face was full of anticipation.

Zhu Quan was stunned and looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi smiled at Zhu Quan and said, "Seventeenth Uncle, Your Majesty has never lacked miracles. If anyone else said that he could pacify the grassland, even if it was my father or the Emperor, I would not believe it. But Your Majesty's words are hard to say!"

Yuan Gong's face was filled with emotion as he nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is truly full of miracles. He is practically sent by heaven to rule the Central Plains. Whether it was the rise of his army in Fengyang and the continuous victory all the way to Yingtian Prefecture, or the terrifying combat power of his Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, or the fact that he faced a volley of arrows without a scratch, the most terrifying thing was that as Your Majesty entered Yingtian Prefecture, a divine thunderbolt descended from the sky and shattered the city gates."

Zhu Quan looked at Yuan Gong with a confused look in his eyes, and said blankly: "Is what you said true or false?"

We won consecutive battles and entered Yingtian Prefecture, which was good.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are powerful and acceptable.

Facing a barrage of arrows alone and remaining unscathed, is this still a human being???

When entering Yingtian Prefecture, divine thunder struck from the sky and blew the city gate to pieces. No, how could this be so outrageous?

"Of course it's true. What I said is known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty." Yuan Gong said.

"This..." Zhu Quan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, his head was a little dizzy.

Is his eldest nephew really so evil?
"If that's the case, then it's really possible for Your Majesty to pacify the grassland," said Qiu Fu.

Zhu Quan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "What do you mean by possible? If what happened to Your Majesty is true, especially the last two, then the Northern Yuan Dynasty is nothing!"
