Chapter 522: Wild Soar (Epilogue)

Previous Chapter

On the first day of December in the first year of Lingyuan, Kaifeng Fucheng.

Wu Shaogang once again issued a holy decree for an all-out attack on the Great Yuan court.

After the end of the Battle of Yishui, the Mongolian iron cavalry of the Great Yuan Dynasty was almost lost, and the strength was greatly weakened, and the sea capital of the Mobei grassland finally couldn't hold it, and tore up the agreement with Kublai Khan, and raised troops again in the Mobei grassland, at this time, Kublai Khan no longer had enough strength to ensure that he could suppress the rebellion of Haidu in the shortest possible time.

Kublai Khan has twice sent envoys to Kaifeng Fucheng, thinking of negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty, but Wu Shaogang refused, and dominating the world is Wu Shaogang's goal, and it is impossible to change the goal.

The battle of Shandong, the losses of the Ming army were also quite heavy, especially in the Ming army sergeants who had been conquered in the Monan grassland, the loss exceeded fifty percent, which was also a big blow to the Ming army, but the battle of Yishui, many Mongolian iron cavalry sergeants who returned to Shun were incorporated into the Ming army, these people after several months of transformation, quickly integrated into the army, and gradually became the main force of the Ming army, in the next expedition, will have to undertake important combat tasks.

The area controlled by the Ming Dynasty has long exceeded the places controlled by the original Great Song Dynasty, Shandong and the Daimyofu and other places, which have been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the area controlled by the Great Yuan Dynasty is only Yanjing and the places north of Yanjing.

Wu Shaogang, whose strength is already extremely powerful, does not need to worry about anything, he can let go and destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty.

In this expedition, Li Tingzhi, the prime minister of the left, was the commander, and led 300,000 Ming troops to fight.

It is impossible for Wu Shaogang to continue the imperial expedition, after all, many things in the court need to be handled by him personally.

The only thing that makes people feel surprised is that in this expedition, the crown prince Wu Ruikun accompanied the army to conquer, although he did not have any position in the army, his identity was never to be underestimated.

This is Wu Shaogang's painstaking arrangement, and the prince must be allowed to make a contribution to be able to lead the government in the future, otherwise it will be unfavorable for Wu Ruikun to sit back and enjoy the success.

On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Lingyuan, the army led by Wu Ruikun and Li Tingzhi occupied Hebei.

The Ming army encountered almost no decent resistance, and wherever they passed, officials at all levels surrendered.

On the fifth day of the second month of the second year of Lingyuan, the Ming army entered Yanjing and approached the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

This time, the Ming army was quite cautious in its operations, this was because Wu Shaogang had a request not to destroy the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty, even if it took some time, it was necessary to protect the capital, because Wu Shaogang had already planned to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the capital.

Kaifeng Mansion City as the capital is indeed good, but with the evolution of the current situation, the geographical location of Kaifeng Mansion City is no longer particularly suitable as the capital, most of the capital is different, it can control the north well, especially the Monan grassland and the Mobei grassland, as well as the northeast area.

Wu Shaogang, who has crossed over, has some specific plots in his heart, which is impossible for everyone to know.

On the tenth day of April in the second year of Ling Yuan, the battle to attack Dadu began.

After receiving the report from the crown prince Wu Ruikun and the left prime minister Li Tingzhi, Wu Shaogang has always been very calm, what makes Wu Shaogang sigh a little is that the Ming army has approached Dadu, but the sea capital of the Mobei grassland is still fighting with the Dayuan court, such a critical moment, the sea capital of the same Mongolians, thinking of not the honor of the Mongolians, but their own position, which makes Wu Shaogang quite regretful, that is, at this moment, Wu Shaogang completely made up his mind, after destroying the Great Yuan Dynasty, the army must go deep into the Mobei grassland, Completely destroy Haidu.

The atmosphere in the court has long been different, almost all of them are jubilant, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Great Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, and the Great Yuan Dynasty no longer has any strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

The mood of other people is different, there are only two people, Akecha and Luzhu, after all, the two are Mongolians, and the worries about the Dayuan Dynasty still exist, although it is said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Akecha still mentioned it to Wu Shaogang several times, hoping that Wu Shaogang must not kill in Dadu or Mobei grassland, Akecha has such worries, it is also normal, after all, the sins committed by the Mongolian Tatars in the Central Plains and the south are too numerous to write.

In fact, there is no need for Akecha's reminder, Wu Shaogang will not kill, but to say that no one will be killed, it is also unlikely, for example, Kublai Khan, Wu Shaogang will never let go, Kublai Khan is a generation of heroes, as long as he is alive, he can set off storms, so it is absolutely impossible to live, in addition, some Mongolian magnates, especially those Mongolian magnates who uphold the supremacy of the Mongols, probably do not want to live.

Among the Mongolian princes, except for Prince Mogo, the rest of them had some difficulty in saving their lives.

This is not Wu Shaogang's ruthlessness, but the inevitability of history, every time there is a change of dynasty, countless people will die, and every newly established dynasty will try to get rid of people who pose a major threat to the dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty will not be an exception, Wu Shaogang wants to calm down the world, and he must ruthlessly get rid of the threat.

During this period, some people also mentioned the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which Wu Shaogang did not particularly care about, the weakness of the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, left an unusually deep impression on Wu Shaogang, the existence of these people will not pose any threat, on the contrary, it shows Wu Shaogang's generosity, as well as the absolute self-confidence of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Mongolian magnates were different, the battle of Shandong, as well as the previous battles, left a deep impression on Wu Shaogang.

Starting from Boyan, Ashu, Habichi, Wuliang Hetai, Hedan, etc., every Mongolian prince and Mongolian magnates, there is no submission and surrender, they are all fighting to the end, when they are cornered, they all choose to commit suicide without exception, this kind of unyielding choice and momentum is terrifying, it seems that the courage of the Mongolian Tatars is indeed not a legend.

In the face of such an opponent, you must not be soft-hearted, otherwise you will be ruthless to yourself.

Therefore, Wu Shaogang will not let go of those Mongolian magnates who would rather die than give in.

As for the unification of the world, Wu Shaogang also has a sense of proportion in his heart for the jurisdiction of the Mobei grassland, the Monan grassland, Tubo and Dali and other places, and after the brutal suppression, he will definitely implement the policy of Huairou, absorb the elites of these places into the imperial court, unite the magnates of these places to serve the imperial court, and at the same time comprehensively promote the Han culture to these places, after a few years, these places will naturally gradually calm down and completely submit to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

It's a long process, and you can't rush it.

On the tenth day of August in the second year of Lingyuan, the report of the great victory arrived in Kaifeng Fucheng.

Most of the capitals of the Great Yuan Dynasty were captured, and Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who would rather die than give in, did not choose to leave the capital, but fought to the death, and finally committed suicide in defeat.

With the suicide of Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty finally fell.

On this day, Kaifeng Mansion was boiling.

But Wu Shaogang was unusually calm, although he did not personally lead the army to fight, but he thought of a generation of heroes Kublai Khan.

If it weren't for his own crossing, Kublai Khan had unified the world at this moment, and the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty, who had been breathing for a long time, would not have been exterminated, and the Great Yuan Dynasty, which had a short lifespan, would have ruled the world for nearly a hundred years, and now everything has changed, and the Great Yuan Dynasty, which did not have time to completely unify the world, was completely destroyed.

Sympathetic to each other, through nearly 20 years, Wu Shaogang's thoughts are completely different, he even empathizes, imagining how much Kublai Khan suffered before his death, in fact, the battle of Shandong is over, Kublai Khan is afraid to understand, the Great Yuan Dynasty has been difficult to escape the fate of annihilation.

At the end of August, Prince Moge was brought back to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wu Shaogang talked with Prince Moge for three days, and Prince Moge suddenly changed his attitude, accepted the edict of the Ming Dynasty, and became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

No one knows why all this is, and no one knows what Wu Shaogang talked about with Brother Mo.

At the end of November of the second year of Ling Yuan, the crown prince Wu Ruikun and the left prime minister Li Tingzhi led the army again and began to advance into the Mobei grassland.

At the end of May of the third year of Lingyuan, Haidu, the leader of the Mobei Grassland Alliance, was defeated and captured, and he would rather die than give in, and finally died of hunger strike.

The Mongol tribal leaders of the Mobei steppe either submitted to the Ming Dynasty or fled to remote places in the north.

In October of the third year of Lingyuan, Wu Ruikun and Li Tingzhi returned to Kaifeng Fucheng.

In September of the third year of Lingyuan, the army led by Zhang Binghui began to enter Tubo and exterminated the rebellious forces in Tubo, until the beginning of the fifth year of Lingyuan, Tubo was completely pacified.

In the first month of the fourth year of Lingyuan, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved to Dadu and the capital was renamed Beijing.

Beijing became the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The vitality of the Ming Dynasty began to bloom rapidly, and in the sixth year of Lingyuan, the situation of all countries coming to the dynasty began to appear.

In June of the sixth year of Lingyuan, Wu Shaogang took Akecha, Luzhu and others to the Mobei grassland and stayed for three months.

The pragmatic emperor Wu Shaogang warned many civil and military ministers that the prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty relied on its own strength, since it has the ability to dominate the world, it is necessary to show the bearing and posture of a great country, and all those who are willing to belong to the vassal states, see how sincere it is, if it is under the banner of submission and submission, thinking of taking advantage of the Ming court, not giving a good face, and those who are sincerely obedient, give a certain degree of help.

Wu Shaogang repeatedly warned the DPRK's Chinese military minister not to be complacent and to immerse himself in doing things in a down-to-earth manner.

The simple, pragmatic and people-oriented atmosphere has become the mainstream in the DPRK and China.

On the first day of the third month of the seventh year of Lingyuan, Li Tingzhi, the prime minister of Zuo, died of illness, and within three years after that, Brother Mo, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Li Siqi, Hao Jing, Yao Shu, Dou Mo, Xu Heng, Lu Wenhuan, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Zhang Jue, Zhang Shijie and others died of illness one after another, and at the same time, Lu Xiufu and Cao Wengang and others became prime ministers of the DPRK and China.

The seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year of Lingyuan.

Emperor Wu Shaogang of the Ming Dynasty died suddenly at the age of forty-seven.

Before the crossing, Wu Shaogang was also forty-seven years old.

The crown prince Wu Ruikun ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Shaogang was enshrined as the Ming Taizu.

At this time, a powerful dynasty has stood proudly in the east, this dynasty is still making great strides, Ming Taizu Wu Shaogang's admonition before his death, has been kept in mind in every mind in the court: don't care what will happen after a thousand years, don't think about whether the Ming Dynasty can be ten thousand years, as long as everyone does the things in front of them and does things according to the rules, they will be able to leave a strong mark in the history books.
