It was no child's play at all, and most of the attacks were far less child's play than those recorded in Mongolian history. "Brother Zhu" is the Mongols' honorific title for Lao Zhu, according to their records, Brother Zhu and Buhua brought 10,000 carts of treasure and 3,000 carts of soldiers to the capital, bribed the gatekeepers, let the soldiers enter the city, and thus occupied the capital.

10,000 carts of treasure? Lao Zhu would have been crazy if he had so much money. I don't know who that doesn't flower refers to, Xu Da?

In the first year of Hongwu, on March 18, a month and a half after setting off from Linqing, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally took the capital. When everyone rode through the Qihua Gate, Ma Du immediately patted the leader on the back, "Congratulations to the big handsome for his 400-year immortal achievements!" ”

The land of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Khitans since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and it is really a great achievement to return to the Han regime. Xu Da is familiar with the scriptures and history, so he naturally knows what Ma Du said, Xu Da laughed: "It's not my work, it's the work of the saint!" "He is really a good courtier, and he has a good time pushing the emperor in advance.

There is no one on the city wall, in the tower of Qihuamen, the Ming army captured a bunch of high-ranking prisoners, the Great Yuan Sect to the Emperor Zheng personally appointed the prison Huai King Timur Buhua, the left prime minister Qingtong, Pingzhang Diebi lost Pu, the right prime minister Zhang Kangbo, the imperial history of the Cheng Manchuan and others.

These are all loyal ministers of Dayuan, all of them are hard bones, and no one surrendered in the face of Xu Da's solicitation, even if Xu Da kept it, it was a waste of food, and he simply let people cut it down.

The emperor ran away with the elite, leaving only a group of old and weak soldiers, and there was nothing to defend, and the army surrendered as soon as it entered the city. Xu Da asked people to gather the soldiers, and at the same time asked to post a notice for the people. At the same time, he changed his previous ambiguous attitude, and asked Xue Xian Fu Youde, who had just arrived near Dadu, to hold the various passes in Gubei, and at the same time went out of the customs to pursue Emperor Zheng in the direction of Shangdu.

Just look at the buildings in the city to know the prosperity of the capital, this is inevitable, after the new construction of the capital, once only let the rich and officials live, the poor are not good. This order will definitely not work, there are still beggars on Wall Street, there are no poor people who serve the rich and the officials. This stupid order is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's later project to move rich households to fill the face of Yingtian and Fengyang.

Xu Da inspected the main gate of the imperial city, turned around and stationed in the Nanzhongshu Province of the Yuan Court, used as a temporary office to handle military affairs, and at the same time wrote a recital for people to report to Yingtian.

Although it didn't take much effort to attack, the three armies still had to be rewarded. The capitulation faction in the city had already sent a bunch of laborers' goods, nothing more than fine wine, cattle and sheep, and the barracks were filled with the smell of meat at night.

It is impossible to drink under Xu Da's account, unless he wants to lose his head, even Chang Yuchun doesn't dare.

"Come, Dashuai drink some mash!" Chang Yuchun took the black jar and poured the milky white slurry into Xu Da's bowl, "I bought it in my own shop just now and gave it money." ”

Xu Da didn't look at it and said with a smile: "How can you smell of alcohol!" ”

Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Eighty percent has been put for a long time, and it has been fermented greatly." You just watched me open the seal, and I didn't put anything in it! Look at the lot of white rice in there. ”

Deng Yu quipped: "Boren, it's really good luck, I have never found such a mash." His throat moved, and he looked at Xu Da expectantly, "Why don't you try it!" ”

In addition to Deng Yu, Guo Ying, Hua Yunlong and others all looked at Xu Da with blank eyes, Xu Da picked up the bowl and took a sip gently, smiled and nodded, "Not bad, very good mash!" ”

The generals laughed when they heard this, "Boren, come and give me a little mash!" ”

Chang Yuchun Le poured mash for everyone, and said to Ma Du, who roasted mutton on the side: "Xuanzhong is faster, after the meat is roasted, come over and drink the mash!" ”

"Got it!" Ma Du answered, but muttered, "What a bunch of self-deceiving guys!" He had a big brush in his hand and a sauce in his hand, and kept brushing it on the whole sheep on the fire.

The whole sheep was roasted to a golden color, with an enticing burnt aroma, and the transparent grease dripped, fluttering, and then turning into repeated green smoke.

"Five or six, don't patronize and swallow saliva! You can't turn it around, the meat is almost mushy, and you'll be indispensable later. ”

Zhang Wuliu finally came back to his senses from his fantasy of food, and gently turned the wooden stick in his hand, "I want to eat sheep's tail!" ”

"I'm afraid you don't have any mouth, eating tails is a handsome hobby, but you can eat sheep and chicken, it looks the same."

Ma Du and Zhang Wuliu carried the whole sheep to the stone table, Xu Da took out a dagger from his waist, and cut off the tail of the sheep with a raised hand, and the others also started one after another.

Ma Du cut a large piece of meat and handed it to Zhang Wuliu, "After eating, go boil the bath water!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Wuliu took the mutton in his hand, twisted to the side, and devoured it.

Chang Yuchun said angrily: "It's really spicy and ruthless, but I always like it!" Chang Sheng said that the food in the academy is also so spicy, what seasoning do you use, and you don't send a little to my family. ”

"Chili, Chang Sheng stole a lot of seeds, and you can eat them when you get home...... Well. Before the words were spoken, Ma Du couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and he didn't know if Chang Yuchun could go back.

Hua Yunlong spit out the bones in his mouth, "When it comes to the academy, I am happy in my heart, that kid in my family is dumbfounded, and he usually can't beat a fart with a stick." After staying in the academy for two months, he has changed a lot more eloquently, and his speech is more likable than before, and he came to see me off and said that I should not worry about my family, and I should be careful when I go out, this child has really grown up! ”

Hua Yunlong's son Hua Zhong has been confined to studying and practicing martial arts at home since he was a child, and he has not contracted any bad habits with those bear children, but he is also a little wooden, and he is not good at communicating.

After entering the academy, it has indeed changed a lot, but Ma Du thinks that Huazhong has not become smart, but has become slippery. The environment of the academy can make the naughty become peaceful, and the honest will inevitably become lively, and he doesn't look at who is around him.

However, Huazhong is obviously too lively, and he is indispensable to do bad things all day long, and honest children will be even more excessive once they indulge. However, Huazhong can fool his parents, which is also considered to be capable.

Gu Shi, the commander of the Tiance Guard under Xu Da, said with a smile: "Before going on the expedition, I discussed it with my mother-in-law at home, and when the school started, I would send the eldest and second child of the family to the academy, and I don't know what the situation is now, Lord Ma will tell me about it." ”

"Are the two sons of Commander Gu's family called Gu Jing and Gu Ying!"

"Exactly!" Gu Shi's eyes were full of anticipation.

"They are all good young men, and Mr. Zhu often says that Gu Jing is honest!" Ma Du said nonsense with a clear conscience, and Zhu Sheng often said that Gu Jing was "simple" and not "thick". As for Gu Ying and his brother, he is the opposite, he is a clever worm, and he took the lead in taking the nickname of Mr. Winter Melon of the little turtle.

Guo Ying said suddenly: "I also have a few sons, who are messing around at home all day long, and I also want to send the two eldest ones to the academy for the gentlemen to discipline them, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Guo Ying has five or six young sons, and he should be trained well, but isn't it inappropriate to send them to Madu, after all, your sister doesn't cause trouble for other people's sisters, and you still want to learn other people's skills?

As soon as the words came out, the desktop couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but Ma Du smiled and said: "Why not, Mr. Zhu demolished the gate in order to recruit students from all over the world, regardless of whether they are noble or low, whether they are smart or foolish, and they will not distinguish between relatives and relatives." Commander Guo only had to send the child here, and Ma would be a good student and discipline, and he would not dare to hide his secrets. ”

Concubine Guo Ning and Ma Dajia were at odds, but the Guo brothers never got involved, and when Concubine Guo Ning was clamoring to be the queen, the two brothers never waved their flags and shouted outside. Both of them are relatively measured people, and they can't get along with them everywhere like Mu Ying, Ma Du feels that it is not necessary.

Guo Ying arched his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Ma, I will go back to the camp to repair the book and send it home." ”

Ma Du said: "I also gave Mr. Zhu a letter, and Commander Guo asked people to take it back together." ”

After Guo Ying left, everyone talked about some military affairs until they finished eating the mash and dispersed. Zhang Wuliu saw that there was still a lot of mutton left, so he tore it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I know how to eat, whether the bath water is boiled or not!"

"It's burned! Two large barrels! Zhang Wuliu stretched out two greasy ones, "I also burned a bucket for Dashuai!" ”

"Damn, it's rare to be clever!"

"Hey...... I'll go over and give you and Dashuai a bath later! ”

"No need! I have something to say to Dashuai. ”

It was the first time I saw Xu Da naked, tall and well-proportioned, full of muscles but as sloppy as often as spring, and then looked at his thin arms and legs, Ma Du couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Xu Da sat in the misty bathtub and let out a long breath, "What is there to envy!" I still envy you, I know at a glance that I have reached people who have never suffered or suffered since I was a child. If you have anything to ask, say it! ”

Ma Du lay on the edge of the bathtub, "I'm just curious, is it the emperor's intention for Brother Xu to let the Tartar Emperor go?" "Historically, Xu Da stayed in Tongzhou for seven days, and there must be a very special reason.

Xu Da smiled and said, "You can see it, in fact, this is what I mean." If you don't go to this bone, most of this piece of meat is not easy to swallow, and when the time comes, you will be stuck in your throat and you will not be able to advance or retreat, and the success of the Northern Expedition may be ruined. It seems that he still lacks confidence in attacking most of the capitals, and has taken the safest plan.

"Oh, then why do you have to let Xue Xian and Fu Youde chase them today?"

"The meat is all in the mouth, and it is inevitable that the eyes will be hungry for bones. If he returns to the grassland, this bone will inevitably grow flesh. Tartar will eventually be a permanent disaster for my Ming Dynasty, if you can pump the bones, there will be no pile of rotten meat, and it will not become a big climate! ”

I have to be convinced, a famous general is a famous general, this vision can see through hundreds of years at once, and Mongolia will be a threat in the end.

Ma Du smiled: "If the Tartar Emperor is really caught, Brother Xu is not afraid that the emperor will be difficult?" ”

"It's just a temporary difficulty, this bone is going to be smashed and sucked after all. After fighting Shanxi, I will go to the grassland to clean up this bone! Xu Da retracted his body into the hot water, "By the way, it's inconvenient for me to enter the palace, and I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others, how about you go and help me clean it up?" ”
