Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty
After setting up camp, Zhu Biao ordered someone to contact Liu Bowen in the rear, and the supply of grain and grass needed to be sent as soon as possible, and the supply route must be constructed.
In the next few days, Zhu Biao did not come forward, and the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had been trained to be weak and weak, and they only had enough food to barely survive every day.
Some brave soldiers staged several riots and tried to escape, and after paying a thousand lives, they gave up.
But the first to soften were the generals of the Northern Yuan who were delicious and delicious, they were all sons of nobles, and they had all been corroded by the luxury of the Central Plains, and they had long since lost the bravery of their ancestors.
With the person who takes the lead, everything will be logical, Daming has fought with the Northern Yuan for so many years, and has also surrendered many generals of the Northern Yuan, so there is naturally a set of methods.
What's more, with the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, where is there a better name than him, Zhu Biao has not been embarrassed these days, after all, he is also a prince, and the basic decency still has to be given.
In the end, except for the four generals and more than 7,000 princes, the rest surrendered, and the prisoner camp was divided into two parts, one with food and drink, and the other with a weak lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Those who surrendered looked at the people on the ground with some shame, and those on the ground looked at the gobbling people with indifference and disdain.
Not long after, Lan Yu came over with a Mongolian interpreter and gave an order: "Kill all those who refuse to surrender, and those who don't do it will die!" ”
All the troops looked at Lan Yu sluggishly, their eyes were full of anger, Lan Yu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the Ming soldiers who surrounded the army camp instantly pulled out the bowstring, the sound of the zither sounded, the sharp arrows flashed cold, and the artillery was also facing them.
They were unarmed, and they couldn't resist even if they ate a little food, so their anger shifted and they looked at the weak people with resentment, "Why don't you surrender?" Are you heroes? Is there anything wrong with being alive? Isn't it good for everyone to surrender together? ”
People will forgive themselves, and after a moment of silence, they silently walked towards those who were weak, and the team began to move, and Lan Yu stood aside and watched quietly, without urging.
As long as they did not directly and desperately attack the Ming army, then they had already lost completely. I don't know who made the first move, because there are too many people, so I can't see what happened, in short, in the end, there are only muddy corpses left.
Lan Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and went back to the camp, there was still a lot to see later.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Biao was inviting the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to dinner, and the two talked happily, after all, with the identities of the two of them, it was rare to be able to eat with someone of the same status as themselves.
Zhu Biao drank a few glasses with him and said, "Brother, this time is a little too risky!" ”
The prince of Beiyuan is sixteen years older than Zhu Biao, he is already a middle-aged man, he glanced at Zhu Biao enviously and said: "Lonely is not like you, Dayuan has reached a dead end, not only has lost the Central Plains, but more importantly, there are too many internal contradictions between the DPRK and China. ”
Zhu Biao was silent and said: "Wang Bao retains an amazing talent, but it's a pity that you don't reuse it." ”
The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty snorted coldly and said: "Timur is too proud of his achievements, even if he has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, he who is not used by me, how is it different from the enemy?" ”
Zhu Biao laughed, this is the arrogance of the royal family, although they used it at the wrong time, it did not prevent Zhu Biao from appreciating this arrogance.
The prince of the Northern Yuan began to complain to Zhu Biao about his life from time to time, and all the problems up and down the Northern Yuan, the more he talked, the more relaxed he became, and after drinking a few glasses in a row, he leaned back in the chair and said: "It seems that today is the time for me to return to the Immortal Heaven, thank you very much." ”
Zhu Biao shook his head: "You and I are both the respect of the crown prince, respecting you is respecting myself, no, brother has anything to explain?" ”
The prince of Beiyuan smiled and shook his head: "No, Dayuan has fallen, what else can Lone explain." ”
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "This palace thought that my brother would seek a way to live for his heirs. ”
The prince of the Northern Yuan laughed a few times and said: "They have been rich for more than ten years, and they should be buried for Dayuan!" What's more, Lone is a defeated person, where is he qualified to intercede, you can still invite Lone to drink, and Lone will be grateful. ”
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "Then please enjoy it yourself." ”
The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also not polite, he ate meat and drank a lot, and when his mouth was free, he told Zhu Biao some difficulties that he had never told others, and these things pressed him all his life.
Finally full of food and drink, the prince of Beiyuan patted his belly: "It's been ten years since Gu has eaten meat and drank wine so happily, okay!" ”
Zhu Biao got up and clapped his hands, Chang Yuchun and the others led seven or eight Northern Yuan generals out, and those generals all looked at the Northern Yuan prince in shame.
The prince of Beiyuan looked at them without the slightest surprise, and then said: "This is the difficulty of Lonely, their family insists on stuffing these wastes, if you don't want it, the supply of the army is a problem." ”
Zhu Biao originally wanted these generals to kill their crown prince with one knife as a vote, but when he looked at Lan Yu and them, he wanted to dispel this idea a little.
Even if it is hostile, he and the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also have the same identity, and it is never a good thing to let the people below commit crimes.
Zhu Biao frowned and looked at the prince of Beiyuan, this is a problem. The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty naturally also saw Zhu Biao's eyes, and he was also the prince, so he naturally knew Zhu Biao's concerns.
"Beiyuan's loneliness is inevitable, their family has long planned to take refuge in you Nanming, even if you let them go now, they won't leave."
As soon as the words of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fell, those generals knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Biao and swore an oath, it seemed that they were waiting for Zhu Biao's order to cut their own prince with a thousand knives, and then they could return to the Central Plains and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Only then did Zhu Biao react, he had always regarded the Northern Yuan Dynasty as a great enemy, but he had forgotten the virtues of those big families in the last years of the dynasty.
Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed, and he promised glory and wealth, as long as they helped the Ming army break through the capital, each feudal marquis, his family could also move back to Beiping, and he could still lead the army.
The prince of Beiyuan silently drank a few sips of wine, looking at the guys who were kneeling at his feet a few days ago to guarantee his loyalty, and now he was eager to wag his tail to the new master.
These people's families are all big families, and many of them are serving in the court of Shangdu, as soon as the army arrives, they promise to welcome the king into the capital immediately.
