Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Yun Tong is indeed a very good kid. I never expected that he would actually conquer the grasslands, and so quickly at that."

“Grandfather, although His Majesty has conquered the grasslands, I don’t quite understand his arrangements for them,” Xu Miaojin said after thinking for a moment.

She got the answer she wanted from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just as Xu Huizu wanted to confirm with her, after calming herself down, she also came to Zhu Yuanzhang for answers. Although she was now the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang was already dead, she knew very well that when it came to gathering information, she was far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "Miaojin, not only do you not understand this matter, but we don't understand it either!"

He had no way to answer Xu Miaojin's question because he couldn't see what Zhu Yunwen's purpose was in handling the aftermath of the grassland incident.

"Uh..." Xu Miaojin looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the direction of the grassland and said, "Of course, although we don't know what Yuntong's purpose is, we have a small guess in our hearts."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang steadied himself and said, "Based on what Yuntong told me before, I feel that Yuntong's arrangements for the grasslands seem to be intentional, with the aim of creating bloodshed."

"To create bloodshed?" Xu Miaojin frowned upon hearing this. Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation only deepened her confusion instead of dispelling her doubts.

Why would Zhu Yunwen suddenly want to create bloodshed? Moreover, Zhu Yunwen has already conquered the grasslands, so why would he still want to create bloodshed? This doesn't make much sense.

“We’re not talking nonsense.” Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, noticing the doubt in Xu Miaojin’s eyes.

Then he continued, "Before Yuntong left Yingtian Prefecture, he said something to me. He said that he had only one purpose for going to the grasslands this time, and that was to kill."

"Did His Highness really say that?" Xu Miaojin asked with some surprise, but he did not interrupt Zhu Yuanzhang's train of thought.

"As you probably already know, the process of Yuntong conquering the grasslands this time was not very brutal; it was mostly surrender." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin nodded: "Yes!"

She paused, then added, "The fighting power of the Great Snow Dragon Riders and Tiger Leopard Riders is too strong. Those Northern Yuan soldiers knew that if they faced the Great Snow Dragon Riders and Tiger Leopard Riders, they would only face certain death, so they chose to surrender."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "That's not what we want to talk about with you."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, "Yuntong is very capable. Even you can see that Yuntong's arrangements for the grasslands are not appropriate. Do you think Yuntong himself wouldn't know that?"

“This may be something His Highness overlooked due to carelessness,” Xu Miaojin said hesitantly.

She was looking for reasons to try and pave the way for Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Even if Yunhu was careless, wouldn't Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu, Li Jinglong and others have reminded him?"

Xu Miaojin fell silent, because she really didn't know what to say next.

Seeing that Xu Miaojin was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Therefore, the current arrangement of the Northern Yuan is Yuntong's deliberate act, not for any other reason. His ultimate goal is to make the Northern Yuan restless so that he can have his fourth son take action and carry out a massacre on the grasslands."

Xu Miaojin was puzzled and asked, "Grandfather, you keep saying that His Majesty wants to slaughter the Northern Yuan, but why is His Majesty doing this?"

“Because those people surrendered directly before, Yunhu had no reason to take action. Therefore, he had to give those people from the Northern Yuan another chance to cause trouble,” Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He then added, "This is just part of my guess. I may be wrong about everything I've said. I don't know what Yun-hu's specific plans are."

"Is this really His Majesty's purpose?" Xu Miaojin wondered.

However, after careful consideration, she realized that Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis was indeed quite reasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about this anymore. Yunhu will probably be back in the next few days. If you're really curious, you can just ask him when he gets back."

"Yes, Grandfather!" Xu Miaojin nodded.

at the same time!

When Zhu Yunwen returned to Beiping after conquering the grasslands, the uproar in Beiping was much greater than in Yingtianfu. This was mainly because the people of Beiping had more contact with the Northern Yuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that many people in the city have a grudge against the Northern Yuan, and their relatives have died at the hands of the Northern Yuan people.

This is also a very cruel thing, and it is also the life of many people living on the border.

Zhu Yunwen conquered the grasslands, which was an unprecedented joyous occasion for the people of Beiping. Not only had their revenge been taken, but they would also no longer be harassed by the Northern Yuan. What could be better than this?

"Long live your Majesty!"

"I never imagined that His Majesty would actually conquer the grasslands."

"Emperor Taizu spent his whole life thinking about fighting the Northern Yuan, but when His Majesty came to power, he kicked him to death with two kicks."

"The Great Snow Dragon Riders and the Tiger and Leopard Riders, these are two of His Majesty's most formidable warriors. They are truly amazing. Who knows how His Majesty managed to train them!"

"You want to know the origins of the Great Snow Dragon Riders and the Tiger Leopard Riders? I advise you to give up. Putting aside everything else, just in Yingtian Prefecture alone, countless people are curious about them, but as of now, there are no clues about the origins of the Great Snow Dragon Riders and the Tiger Leopard Riders."

"I see. In that case, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry may not be so easy to train. I was thinking that once I found a way, I could share it with our Ming Dynasty to train more troops like the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"The idea is good, but go wash up and go to bed."

“I knew Your Majesty could do it, and it turns out my hunch was right.”

"I knew Your Majesty was capable of conquering the grasslands. This idea was firmly established after I heard that Your Majesty was heading north. But I didn't expect Your Majesty to be able to conquer so quickly. Those Northern Yuan soldiers are truly a bunch of cowards."

"Hehe, that's a bit of an insult. The reason those guys from the Northern Yuan are like this is because the Great Snow Dragon Riders and Tiger Leopard Riders are too strong. To put it bluntly, if you were a soldier of the Northern Yuan, I reckon you would submit immediately as well."

"That makes perfect sense!"

"."

The people were buzzing with discussion, and everyone's face was beaming with undisguised smiles. Zhu Yunwen's performance had fulfilled everything they wanted: revenge had been taken, the enemy had been defeated, and there was no longer any danger.

At this moment, the people of Beiping were extremely supportive of Zhu Yunwen. If anyone were to step forward and compete with Zhu Yunwen for the throne, the people of Beiping would be the first to disagree.

Prince Yan’s Mansion!
According to Zhu Yunwen's decision, today is the day for the generals from the grasslands to come to Beiping.

All matters were handled by Zhu Gaochi.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Zhu Gaochi approached Zhu Yunwen.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Di beside him and said, "Fourth Uncle, check if anyone is missing. If so, take some men and go to the grasslands later." "Hmm?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard Zhu Yunwen's words, and then they all came to their senses. He was going to kill them directly!
However, they did not feel that this was excessive.

If they dare to provoke us now, what will happen later? It's absolutely the right thing to do to wipe them out.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Di nodded. The thought of leading the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry across the grasslands filled him with excitement. He couldn't help but rub his palms together, secretly praying that the Northern Yuan might have some bolder generals.

Seeing Zhu Di's expression, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but say, "Father, I know you're very excited right now, but please calm down!"

Upon hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di's lips twitched involuntarily. If he hadn't been mindful of the inappropriate occasion, he would have really gone up and given Zhu Gaoxu a good beating, to teach him a lesson about why the flowers were so red.

"Gao Xu, your uncle is in a good mood right now, so don't upset him," Li Jinglong said with a smile, shaking his head at Zhu Gao Xu.

Zhu Di nodded upon hearing this and said, "Jinglong is right. You brat, I've always doted on you, and you still manage to upset me when I'm at my happiest!"

“Father, I’m doing this for your own good. Now that someone has jumped out to defy His Majesty, you’re happy to lead the troops into action, but do you not think about how angry His Majesty will be? His Majesty is angry, and you’re happy. Do you think this is a good thing?” Zhu Gaoxu said.

"Hmm?" Zhu Di was a little taken aback, looking at Zhu Gaoxu in front of him with disbelief in his eyes: "Second son, have you grown a brain?"

Although he admitted that what Zhu Gaoxu said was very correct, he was still surprised that Zhu Gaoxu had figured it out first, even though he hadn't realized how convoluted the matter was.

Upon hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaoxu's lips twitched, his face darkened, and he turned his head away without saying a word.

He kindly offered a reminder, but Zhu Di actually scolded him, which was too much of a bully!

Although he may not be quick-witted, you can't say that about him!

What do you mean he's got a brain?!
That was incredibly vulgar!

"Uncle, you..." Li Jinglong couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Ahem. Well, Second Brother, I misspoke." Zhu Di looked embarrassed, knowing he had said the wrong thing, but he also felt wronged.

Given Zhu Gaoxu's usual carefree demeanor, it's understandable that he would make a slip of the tongue in his shock, given his sudden outburst.

at the same time!

Beiyuan, in front of the city gate.

"Swish swish swish!" Arughtai, Mahmud, Dorjibo, and dozens of other chieftains of grassland tribes, large and small, appointed by Zhu Yunwen, dismounted, their expressions incredibly complex.

Beiping, the city they had longed to conquer, was now their home, but their current status was that of pilgrims.

They were going to the city to worship the Ming emperor, who was now their follower.

"What's going on? Why are these Northern Yuan people in Beiping? What are they doing here?"

"Hey, you don't know this, do you? I heard from my cousin that they came to pay homage to His Majesty."

"Paying homage to His Majesty? What does that mean?"

"I don't know the specifics, but the general idea is that they've come to kneel before our Great Ming as losers. You can take it as a formal submission."

"Submit? I see. I understand. Long live Your Majesty!"

"Look, it's that old dog Arutai. He was loyal to the Northern Yuan, but I didn't expect him to surrender as well."

"."

Before long, the whole of Beiping was in an uproar, and everyone was excited as they headed towards the city gate.

They wanted to see what these losers of the Northern Yuan looked like.

"Gentlemen, please follow me. His Majesty is waiting for you!" Ma Sanbao said calmly as he stepped forward to Arughtai, Mahamu, and the others.

"Thank you for your trouble, sir!" Arutai said respectfully.

"He really is a general from the Northern Yuan. His Majesty has truly conquered the grasslands!"

"What are you saying? Do you really think something like this is fake?"

"Hahaha, long live Your Majesty! The grasslands have been trampled underfoot by my Central Plains."

"."

As they traveled, the people gathered around, staring at Arughtai, Mahmud, and the others as if they were monkeys, pointing and commenting on them from time to time.

Arughtai, Mahmud, and the others looked extremely embarrassed. They felt very aggrieved by the scene before them, but dared not show any dissatisfaction.

This is the Ming Dynasty. Their purpose in coming here today is to pay homage and submit.

Some people turned their gaze to Ma Sanbao, who was leading the way, hoping that he would speak up and help them out.

However, when they saw Ma Sanbao remain silent, they immediately dismissed the idea, realizing that the scene before them might be at the behest of the Ming Emperor.

Once they understood this, some of those who had been determined to follow Zhu Yunwen immediately abandoned their pride and gradually calmed down.

However, some generals with ulterior motives were furious.

"Damn it, how dare the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty humiliate us like this!"

"This humiliation will be repaid sooner or later."

"Just wait, the grasslands are definitely not the grasslands of the Ming Dynasty. They weren't before, and they absolutely won't be in the future."

"."

Pushing through the crowd, Ma Sanbao led his entourage to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the chiefs of the various tribes of the grasslands have arrived!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Great Emperor!" Arughtai, Mahmud, and the others knelt down, their expressions extremely respectful.

Although they had been stared at like monkeys by the people of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, they knelt on the ground very upright, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Get up, all of you!" Zhu Yunwen waved his hand.

Immediately, his gaze swept over the faces of Arughtai, Mahmud, and the others, and he said, "I have no good feelings towards you, but I am very pleased that you have come as promised today!" (End of this chapter)
