Chapter 44: The Crown Prince Prisons the Kingdom
In early April, Xu Dajun marched from Hugao Pass to Luoyang Ta'er Bay, and the Yuan general Tuoyin led an army of 50,000 yuan to line up north of Luoshui, but was forcibly broken through by Chang Yuchun and retreated to Shaanzhou.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Aligon, the king of Yuanliang stationed in Luoyang, led the officials and people to surrender. Xu Da continued to wave his troops to capture Song, Shaanxi, Chen, and Ru Prefectures, and ordered Feng Guosheng to lead his troops to attack Tongguan. The generals Li Siqi and Zhang Sidao, who retreated from Bianliang to Tongguan, heard that the army was approaching Tongguan again, and hurriedly led their troops to flee west.
The Ming army successively conquered Long, Qin, Gongchang, Lanzhou and other places to the west, and advanced to Lintao, Li Siqi was at the end of the road and had to surrender. Xu Da ordered Xue Xian to attack Xining and personally led the main force to attack Qingyang.
At the beginning of April, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the weeping of the ministers, and led Zhu Biao, Zhu Li, Zhu Di, and Zhu Hu to Henan under the escort of 100,000 pro-troops, and Zhu Biao didn't know what he was going to do.
At noon that day, Zhu Yuanzhang led his sons to a tomb, and there were specially prepared sacrificial objects.
Zhu Biao still thinks about who this is, with such a big face!
Leaning in to see that it was actually a Mongolian tombstone, a few small ones were stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out a jar of wine and poured it directly, and then looked at his sons, "Let's bring you here, I want you to see, don't be arrogant in the palace!" I heard that you are all threatening to pacify the Yuan Dynasty by taking out your own horses, but Mongolia is nothing more than that? ”
Of course, Zhu Biao could not have said such two things, as long as the machine gun did not appear, Mongolia would always be a powerful force.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Don't just look at the decay of the Yuan Court, but there are still heroes in Mongolia, and the person buried here is called Chakhan Timur, who is a real man, even if he is an enemy, we also respect him as a good man!" ”
Zhu Biao knew who it was when he heard Chakhan Timur, he was the King of Ruyang in the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, that is, the father of Zhao Min and Wang Baobao, of course Zhao Min did not exist, but he and Wang Baobao were indeed historical figures!
Chakhan Timur is a famous military general of the Yuan generation, in his short ten years of military career, he took the pacification of the world and the restoration of Sheji as his own responsibility, and hundreds of people fought against the rebels, conquered the east and west, fought in the south and fought in Beiping, almost with the strength of a division to annihilate the million Red Turban Army, and saved the Yuan government from overthrowing, and recovered the North China that had been divided since the Red Turban Army uprising.
However, just when he was about to wipe out the remnants of the Red Turban Army's Eastern Route Army, he was assassinated by a rebel general and killed Yidu. The death of Chakhan Timur is a great misfortune for the Mongolian nation, but it is an absolute great fortune for the Han nation, and it is also a great luck for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shouting when he heard Chakhan Timur's death letter: "There is no one in the world!" This is not only a pity for the death of Chakhan Timur, but also a great joy that the Yuan Dynasty has lost an important general who can stop itself.
Chakhan Timur was an important hope for saving the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and his death hastened the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly recounted the pressure that Chakhan Timur brought him back then, and looked at the stunned looks of his younger sons,
Zhu Yuanzhang then said, "Let's tell you this, it's not that you should be afraid of him, but you must know that the Yuan Court does not represent the whole of Mongolia, and there are still many heroes in Mongolia, if you treat them as the waste people of the Yuan Court, you will suffer a big loss in the future!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also talked about Chakhan Timur's adopted son, Kuoku Timur, this strange man in the world in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth!
He doesn't have many records now, but Zhu Mark is the only one who can resist Zhu Yuanzhang's several Northern Expeditions after the death of Yuan in the future!
Zhu Zhu marked that Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote letters to persuade him to surrender at least seven times in the next ten years, and also expanded Timur's sister Wang to marry the second Zhu Zhang, all for the sake of Huairou and Timur, but unfortunately this strange man did not surrender, which is also a big regret in Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
After Zhu Biao led the dizzy younger brothers to express their understanding, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the memorial text written by himself to Zhu Biao and asked him to read it, and Zhu Biao took it, which is the famous "Dian Zhongxiang King Li Chahan Wen" in history.
Zhu Biao walked to the grave and read it aloud: "The strength of the grass is not the wind, and the loyalty of the people is not difficult to name in troubled times." General Er Li, the Central Plains is disturbed, the Yuan government is not outlined, the ministers steal their lives, and the guards are good at the army, which is causing the war to boil, the country is in danger, and people will think that the Yuan has no one. General He's loyalty, advocating farmers for the three armies, pulling out wisdom and courage above the above, awarding knighthood to officials, and knowing its scores. The banner of righteousness is raised and the soldiers are prosperous, and the strong soldiers of Qilu can only hold on.
Er Neng Chen soldiers in the field, please order in the court, advance and retreat in a way, and the king's order is to listen. When it is, loyalty is as clear as Wuyao, and the command is as strict as frost, so it moves the heavens and the earth and feels the ghosts and gods, which is caused by its loyalty. The husband and the soldiers are victorious, the ambition is Shaoying, the guilt is released, the loyalty is gradually lost, and the ghosts and gods see it. Russia suffered an unforeseen disaster and died at the hands of the enemy. However, loyalty is not over and treachery is not revealed, and the life expectancy is not extended, what is the result?
Don't you be loyal to the first to be the first? Or if there is a general? Belch! Give a few things and get drunk, and you are still right. Go heartily and return to the discipline. Listen to the words of the heart! ”
Zhu Biao burned directly after reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang had already returned to the frame at this time, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have time to pay attention to them, he was going to Bianliang to supervise the battle now, and it was already a great shame for Chakhan Timur to find time to stay here.
directly ordered the 50,000 troops to escort the prince back to the palace, and he himself took Zhu Rong, Zhu Di, and Zhu Hu to the front line.
Don't you like to play wars! Let's take a feel for it this time!
Zhu Biao didn't have a chance to refute, so he was loaded into a carriage and driven all the way back to the palace.
It was another rapid march, Zhu Biao was about to vomit, and finally returned to the palace, and before he could breathe a sigh, he saw the head of the celebrant coming to deliver the decree, "The holy lord has ordered the prince to supervise the country and preside over the affairs of the dynasty, assisted by Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the left, and there must be no mistake!" ”
Zhu Biao's eyes were dizzy, and he saw Li Shanchang coming over with a ticket to report to him about the urgent government affairs that their father and son had handled in their absence these days.
There are also some that are not too urgent, but they all need the nod of the prince of the prison country to be issued normally, and then they have to discuss tomorrow's court meeting and the supply of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Zhu Biao took a few deep breaths, and then plunged into government affairs.
Li Shanchang and others are all veterans of government affairs, and Zhu Biao's job is to review the decisions they have made, and if they feel that they are wrong, they will go back and make a new decision.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao stood next to the emperor's throne to hold a court meeting, and after the ministers bowed down to greet him, Zhu Biao watched them argue from time to time with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Biao had a warm smile on his face, wearing a dark dragon robe and standing with his hands on his back all morning, except for adjusting the contradictions of several ministers, he has always maintained a style of few words.
