Zhu Biao led Liu Jin and the others back to Chengqian Palace, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped in front of the door, and instructed Liu Jin on the side, "Go and invite my cousin to the East Palace tomorrow!" ”

After Liu Jin bowed down and agreed, Zhu Biao stepped into his residence, and lay down in the golden silk brocade quilt under the service of a group of people, and there were four little eunuchs at the door to keep vigil, and someone would come in to serve him when he coughed at night.

The next morning, Zhu Biao got up and put on a red Panlong narrow-sleeved robe, wearing a black gauze winged crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and white jade boots under his feet.

got up in high spirits, picked up the book and read it for a while in the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace, and when the court meeting ended, Liu Jin led a tall man in.

Zhu Biao stood up with a smile, and the person who came hurriedly bent down and bowed his hand: "Minister Li Wenzhong, see the prince!" ”

Zhu Biao walked out from behind the bookcase, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Brother is too polite, please take a seat." ”

After he sat down politely, Zhu Biao returned to his seat and said sincerely: "Yesterday, I discussed with my father, and I plan to follow the army next year, and this time I specially asked my brother to ask for advice." ”

Li Wenzhong frowned and said with concern, "Prince, what kind of identity do you have, how can you take such a big risk!" This battlefield is dangerous, and victory or defeat is unpredictable! ”

Zhu Biao held a white tiger pendant in his hand and said, "This palace has grown up in the mansion since childhood, but I also know how fierce the war is, but I do think about it. I think that next year, my brother will also lead the troops to the battle, and I will ask my brother for guidance! ”

Li Wenzhong stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness! You must know that our generals can be defeated, but you, as the crown prince, must not be defeated! ”

"Otherwise, your reputation will be irreparably damaged, and Yu Gongchen is your vassal, and Yu Private is your cousin! Therefore, the ministers are courageous, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think more! ”

Zhu Biao also got up and said softly, "What my brother said is in my heart, but I have thoughts about this matter, and my father also agreed!" ”

As soon as Li Wenzhong heard it, he understood that this was to make the prince make military achievements, and his uncle must be very sure that he would send his prince to the battlefield.

Liu Jin saw this momentum, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Wenzhong and let him sit down: "Doctor Ronglu is the brave and good at fighting that His Majesty has praised, and he can be the head of all generals!" And it's His Royal Highness's relative, so the prince specially asked the slave maid to invite you to discuss! ”

Li Wenzhong also sat down, and said to Zhu Biao above, "Since the prince has made up his mind, then the minister Li Wenzhong should lead the horse and whip for His Royal Highness to serve the death force!" ”

After a few polite words, Zhu Biao chatted with him about the affairs of the army, Li Wenzhong has also been fighting for many years, and he is still a relative, and he will be his descendant when he goes on the expedition next year.

Not long after, an official from the Ministry of War sent a report on the Northern Expedition, which was also mixed with the Northern Expeditionary Army's need for supplies.

Zhu Biao opened it and saw that there was still Lao Zhu's note inside: "Think about it carefully, the most important thing in the army is logistics supply, the supply is unstable, how to stabilize the morale of the army, how to let the soldiers fight with peace of mind!" ”

Several directors of the military department stood respectfully at the lower hand, quietly waiting for the prince's inquiry.

From this day on, Zhu Biao was invited to practice cavalry and archery every morning, and two hours later he began to deal with the logistics and supplies of the Northern Expedition with the people of the military department.

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), in the seventh month of the leap year, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the Ma Buzhou division from Linqing to the north along the canal, connecting Dezhou and Tongzhou. Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Shangdu Kaiping with his concubines and princes.

On August 2, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun captured Dadu in one fell swoop and changed it to Beiping Mansion.

Mongol rule in the Central Plains ended, and the Ming Dynasty gained dominion over the area within the Great Wall!

The Northern Expedition army is like a rainbow, ready to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun that have been lost for more than 400 years in one fell swoop!

But Xu Da Chang Yuchun directly received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, except for the necessary stay, so the general must not continue to pursue! Leave for the class teacher to return to the DPRK immediately! ”

Although they all want to continue the pursuit and expand the results of the battle, but the emperor's order has been issued, naturally no one dares to play anything that will not be affected by the emperor's life outside! The lesson since ancient times is that most of those who dare to play this hand do not end well!

Xu Da often meets spring, and naturally he doesn't dare! And Chang Yuchun has already received a secret letter from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is more eager than anyone else to return to the court!

In this way, since the two bigwigs of the military are willing to return to the court, the people below are naturally not qualified to have any objections.

After Zhu Biao heard the news, his face turned red with excitement! This is really a bit shameless, this is clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang wants his son to recapture the 16 states of Yanyun that have been lost for 400 years with his own hands, and make this great achievement.

Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, opposed the Tang Dynasty and sought help from the Khitan. The Khitan sent troops to support its establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Liao Taizong and Shi Jingjiao were about father and son.

In the third year of Tianfu, Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan according to the requirements of the Khitan, so that the territory of the Liao State expanded to the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to completely recover it in the future.

The strategic significance of the sixteen states of Yanyun made the Northern Song Dynasty regime in the Central Plains feel the threat for more than 160 years, the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the northern frontier defense has almost no danger to defend, and the Hu people gallop across the prosperous and rich plains, and can drink the Yellow River day and night.

Because of this, the cession of the sixteen states of Youyun became a major event that affected China's political pattern and historical process, and for more than 400 years, the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun became the dream ideal of every Han dynasty.

Even if Zhu Biao is not a prince, just a general, with his exploits in recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is enough to leave a name in history, and it is trivial to be a marquis because of his merits!

After Zhu Biao calmed down, he thought about what impact this would cause, after all, in history, it was the Northern Expedition army that directly recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, and now it has only captured Dadu, and the rest of the place is still in the hands of the remnants of the Yuan Court.

It seems that it is impossible to drag on the matter of knighthood any longer, and if the generals of the Northern Expedition spit out such a big mouthful of meat, it must be compensated!

Thinking that this time, Zhu Yuanzhang will reward the generals of the Northern Expedition! Gagged them with knighthoods!

This is politics, mutual compromise can make the dynasty go further, otherwise what good is it to make them make trouble?

As long as they don't want to kill, they can only be appeased, otherwise what if they get irritable? They won't feel sorry for the court, how did the rat trap come about!
