The news spread quickly, no matter what the purpose, this news was definitely a fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the prefectures and counties along the way closed their doors one after another, and the large and small caravans stopped operating, even Nanjing, which was far away in Jinling, was also affected.

It was just dark, the streets of the capital that had been lively became empty at this time, and the lights were also extinguished much earlier than usual, and the man who had once lingered in the place of liquor and fireworks suddenly woke up overnight, and several people got together to discuss how to deal with this disaster, and the heaviness on his face was like war had come.

What else can war bring besides death, hatred, and parting?

The candle flame will completely light up the entire Ming Dynasty City, eunuchs, palace maids walk through it, there are many guards in front of the palace gate, the number of guards has increased, crunch, the palace door opens from the inside, and a little eunuch walks out, takes a look, and says in a sharp voice: "The emperor has a decree, and the ministers outside can enter the palace immediately to see the saint regardless of the size of the official rank." ”

"Your Majesty."

The military department Shangshu walked in front, the military department squire followed behind, one foot into the royal city, suddenly an inexplicable pressure hit, the whole body became uncomfortable, bowed his head and followed behind.

With a snap, the palm hit the table, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, his white beard trembled, and several people standing below knelt on the ground together.

"The Holy One is angry."

"Check it out now, I want to know the facts."

"Yan Jin has sent out the news, and I believe it will be transmitted back to the capital soon." Jinyiwei is all over the place, responsible for monitoring and probing news, it is conceivable that the news of Lan Yu's killing of Zhu Biao and his rebellion came out, and with Jinyiwei's efficiency, the truth can be found out soon, of course, it will take a certain amount of time to reach the capital.

"Well done, I didn't waste my expectations of you."

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was pale, standing on it, holding it with both hands, his body shook slightly at this moment, and the eunuch on the side was just about to step forward, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and had to retreat to his original position.

Even if he is an emperor, he has the power of life and death, and he also has his death hole, one is Zhu Biao, in Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang exhausted his mental strength, and there is only one purpose, to leave a holy king for the Ming Dynasty, you don't know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, as long as you know how to get the respect of the opponent and the love of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang's carefully built shield, one is blue jade, Zhu Yuanzhang loves generals, holds military power, and is invincible on the battlefield, especially against the Northern Yuan cavalry, which can be called the sharpest spear.

One stabilized the situation internally, so that the Ming Dynasty continued to prosper, and the other commanded soldiers and horses outside to block foreign enemies, and now that spear pierced the shield in his hand, at this moment Zhu Yuanzhang was empty-handed, and his years of operation were ruined, and that feeling other people couldn't understand at all.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon."

"It's okay, why hasn't the military department book arrived yet?"

"Back to the emperor, I have already sent someone to blow it." The eunuch hurriedly responded, the atmosphere in the hall at this moment was suffocating, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at this time revealed an astonishing killing intent, and that look was almost exactly the same as the last time he killed Hu Weiyong.

"The military department is still in the book."

The voice of the eunuch came in, and he walked a few steps into the main hall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which was considered to be timely, "The old minister meets the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

"Get up and speak."

Without waiting for the last few words of the military department Shangshu, Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted, these words have long been tired of listening, what long live, people always have to die, no matter who it is, what identity, the emperors of the past dynasties don't know how many years they have shouted, and in the end they are not going to die.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, shaking his body and gradually recovering, "The secretary of the military department, I have something to ask you, you just need to answer truthfully, and you must not hide anything." ”

"Obey."

"What is the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized in three days?"

"This!" The secretary of the military department frowned, and he was already thinking about this matter along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang really asked, as the secretary of the military department, he knew the deployment of troops in the surrounding states and counties well, "Go back to the emperor, plus the guards of the capital, at least 300,000." ”

"How much real combat power is there?"

"200,000, the supply of grain, grass, and weapons is available one by one."

"Okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he was satisfied with such a result, in three days, it is not a trivial matter to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, with this 300,000 army, even if Lan Yu is really reversed, there is no need to worry, Zhu Yuanzhang is so sure, this beggar emperor who fights the world on horseback has never been afraid of any opponent, even if it was Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Wang Baobao, everyone was the same, they all died in the end, and they were still alive.

Eyes fell on a few people below, all of them were important ministers in the court, most of them had gray hair, a problem appeared, there were soldiers and horses, who commanded the troops, there were many generals, but unfortunately no one was Lan Yu's opponent, those who followed him to fight the world, the dead died, the killed killed, the old and the old, the only available people were Changxing Hou Geng Shanwen and Wuding Hou Guo Ying, Geng Shanwen had fought with Lan Yu, not Lan Yu's opponent, but unfortunately Guo Ying's old injuries attacked, and the two of them might be able to fight together.

It was difficult for a while, and it was impossible to go out on his own.

Zhu Yuanzhang is really old, and when he is old, his physical strength and spirit will inevitably not be compared with when he was young.

"Who is the right commander of the troops?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at the people below, all of them were important ministers in the DPRK, and they had followed him to deal with the government over the years, and they were extremely familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Several ministers lowered their heads and thought about it, it is naturally good to recommend a suitable candidate for this kind of thing, once they are wrong, they will inevitably be burdened with a great crime of disaster to the country, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on it, his face became more and more ugly.

Snorted coldly, "Who can Taibao take on the responsibility of protecting the country?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked displeased, thinking about how many heroes followed him to fight the world back then, but it reached the point where no one was available.

The man hurriedly saluted: "The old minister recommends one." ”

"Speak."

"King Yan is both wise and brave, and once led his troops to attack the Northern Yuan army, seven battles and seven victories, and the old minister thought that King Yan could be a big responsibility."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, how could he forget Zhu Di, among these princes, the only one whose personality is most similar to himself is Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the bloodline factor is still deliberately imitated, everything is unknown, he has made a lot of military exploits, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that the prince will compete for the throne, so he has made a rule, but all princes must leave the capital after they become adults, so as to avoid collusion between the prince and the ministers, and they are not allowed to enter Beijing without special reasons.

"What does Taifu think?"

A person next to him hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister agrees with Lord Taibao's opinion, and can adjust King Yan to enter Beijing." ”

"Is there no one else who can do it except King Yan?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any expression on his face, Zhu Di was always the fourth son, and some words and deeds were not appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, at this moment, the two ministers of the DPRK and China strongly recommended Zhu Di, which made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy.

"Geng Bingwen, Hou of Changxing, is old and strong, and has been on the battlefield for a long time, which can be of great use."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Having said that, after all, I am old, once there is an accident, let me bear it!" Geng Bingwen is considered a personal choice, it is most suitable to mobilize people or be responsible for a defense, at this moment Zhu Yuanzhang wants to know if there are still young talents in his army who can be appointed, these are related to the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Several people frowned, they had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and they knew the emperor's temper the most, and one of them saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks of someone." ”

"Who?"

"Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, this person is familiar with the art of war and has the style of a father."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face finally showed a hint of joy, who is Li Jinglong, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong, Li Wenzhong is brave and good at fighting, at the age of 19, he supported the trapped Chizhou, defeated the elite Tianwan army, ranked third among the founding heroes, and the merits were only under Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to this nephew, but unfortunately he died young, which really made Zhu Yuanzhang feel distressed, and his son Li Jinglong inherited the position of Cao Guogong, thinking that the last time he saw him was a teenager, time flies so fast, at this time he has grown up and began to emerge in the army.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang must be willing to use his own people, even if something goes wrong, he will not bear too much responsibility, so he first put on the Yan Wang, Zhu Di does have some ability, and it is unknown whether he can win when he encounters a winning general like Lan Yu, and then Li Jinglong, who has a good reputation in recent years, of course, there is his Lao Tzu side, he became Cao Guogong at a young age, and with that relationship, his future is limitless.
