100,000 stone of grain, basically all the grain in the treasury of the Goryeo State can be counted.

However, it is not okay for the Koreans not to agree.

"You don't have to rush to agree, discuss with your king when you go back!"

"If I have any of my remaining conditions, I will not accept your surrender!" Zhu Han said.

"Please continue, I don't know what the rest of the conditions are?" Lucher asked stiffly.

Zhu Han then said the second condition.

"The second condition is to let your king give the order!"

"Let Wang Qi order to kill Cui Ying!"

"What? Kill Cui Ying? Lucher was startled again.

Choi Ying is the first general of the Goryeo Dynasty today, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the Goryeo Dynasty.

King Wang Qi of Goryeo kills Choi Ying.

It's like killing Yue Fei back then!

Once this request is agreed, it means that the officials and generals of the daring faction in Goryeo will completely die to the king of Goryeo.

Zhu Han ignored Lu Che's surprise and continued to say his own conditions.

"The third condition, our army's labor expedition, naturally needs to wait for consolation compensation! Of course, I don't need you any gold and silver, this commander wants all the women in the city who are over thirteen years old and under thirty years old to send me all the women, whether they are noble women or slave women, there must be no concealment, at least 30,000 of them, otherwise, I will let the armies enter the city by themselves, and the slaughter of the city will not stop for three days! Zhu Han said.

Subsequently, Zhu Han said all his conditions in a thousand ways.

Among all the conditions, the most important of these conditions was for the king of Goryeo to send 100,000 loads of grain and grass.

and a hundred thousand pieces of gold and silver.

In addition, it is to kill Cui Ying and other Goryeo generals who have been to the Central Plains and participated in the suppression of the Red Turban Army attacking the Red Turban Army.

Then, let the king of Goryeo send all the women in Kaesong to the Red Turban Army.

In the end, Zhu Han also asked the king of Goryeo to issue an order, ordering officials from all over the country, no matter how big or small, to come to Kaijing to meet the court within a month, otherwise they would all be dismissed on the spot.

Zhu Han also had to send people to attack the Mengyuan Kuancheng Governor's Mansion in the north.

Kuancheng was the bridgehead established by the Yuan Dynasty, as long as the Kuancheng Governor's Mansion was taken, it could threaten the Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the Yuan Dynasty did not dare to march south.

Zhu Han's requirements can be described as extremely harsh, on the one hand, they hollowed out the family foundation of the Goryeo Kingdom, so that they had no extra grain and grass reserves, and on the other hand, killed their own people and killed Cui Ying and other generals who dared to fight, so that they had no follow-up strength.

And then there is a gang of 'Goryeo traitors' such as Quan Qian of the Eight Banners of Goryeo who filled the Goryeo court!

In order to give the king of Goryeo time to consider, Zhu Han ordered the Eight Banners of Goryeo to suspend the offensive and retreat to the four city gates, and were not allowed to set foot in the city to burn and kill.

Because he has already seen it, if he doesn't stop it, then these already crazy Goryeo Eight Banner soldiers are afraid that they will turn the capital into a blank land.

In the burning, killing and looting, there is too much senseless destruction, and I can't get any benefits.

Lu Che brought these surrender conditions proposed by Zhu Han back to the palace of Goryeo.

When Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, saw these so-called surrender conditions, he immediately became angry.

"Lose power and humiliate the country!"

"Shame on your ancestors!"

"If you agree to come down, what face will you see your ancestors!"

These requirements made by Zhu Han were all fatal, and the dignity of the king of Goryeo was not left at all.

But the situation is stronger than people, and now Goryeo City has been completely broken through the four city gates by the Red Turban Army, turning the capital into a ruined white land, which is just a matter of Zhu Han's thoughts.

As for the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin in various places, it will take three or five days to arrive in Kaijing at the earliest!

And in three to five days, anything can happen!

Lu Che and other Goryeo officials lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make a sound.

Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, was also silent for a long time.

。

。

By this time, it was already dark.

Under Zhu Han's order, the Red Turban Army had already withdrawn from the streets and alleys of the city, but only defended and controlled the four city gates.

"King, Zhu Han has already said that he will give a reply to the king after the sun rises tomorrow, otherwise, the red turban thief will slaughter the city!" Lucher said.

Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, was already extremely depressed when he heard this, and he paced back and forth in the palace at a loss.

Wang Qi couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, another Goryeo minister persuaded, "King, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity, let's find an opportunity to send the king out of the city, as long as the king leaves Kaijing, we can command and transfer the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life to recapture Kaijing!" ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, was still silent, that is, he did not agree, on the one hand, the Red Turban Army surrounded Kaijing City, and it was absolutely impossible to think of a safe evacuation.

The risk is too great, maybe the king of Goryeo Wang Qi is not careful, and he will be killed by the scouts of the Red Turban Army as soon as he leaves the city, and Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, is not willing to throw away his wife's pagoda and lose his life.

At this time, another Goryeo minister suggested: "King, let's drag it out!" We use a procrastination method, as long as it can be dragged on for three or five days, the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang of each province may be able to arrive! ”

"The red turban thief must be afraid of being attacked on his back, and he will inevitably retreat!"

"Procrastination?!"

Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, is already a little moved, if he can drag the soldiers and horses of King Qin to various places, it will be very good, and he will definitely not have to accept these humiliating surrender conditions at that time.

Subsequently, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, began to discuss various methods of delay with a group of Goryeo ministers.

However, Zhu Han will not give them this chance.

The next day, early in the morning.

Just listen to a loud bang!

Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, and others hurriedly climbed the tall building of the palace and looked out.

I saw that a city wall on the west side of Goryeo Kaijing City had disappeared into the dust!

The noise of dust covered most of the city walls!

The Red Turban Army blasted with gunpowder, which collapsed a section of the city wall of Kaijing, and also announced Zhu Han's attitude.

The monarchs and ministers of Goryeo were all stunned!

If it is said that the Goryeo army was raided by the Red Turban Army in the chaos yesterday and lost the city of Kaijing, it can also be said to be negligent.

Then this morning, the Red Turban Army destroyed the action of opening the capital wall with gunpowder blasting!

It completely scared the Goryeo monarchs and ministers!

Being able to destroy the impregnable rammed earth city wall with a single blow is such a terrifying strength that the Goryeo army cannot resist at all!

Everyone is completely desperate!

Even if the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life come, they are definitely not the opponent of the Red Turban Army!

At this time, after the blasting, Zhu Han sent people to negotiate with Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, and others!

The person who is the messenger is none other than the banner of the Eight Banners of the Goryeo Eight Banners Army!

As a courtier before the king of Goryeo, now Kwon Qian is already the envoy of the orthodoxy of the Emperor and Song!

As the saying goes, 'the envoy of a big country is like the king of a small country'!

Behind Quan Qian is the invincible Red Turban Army.

Seeing the previous monarch Wang Qi, he had no scruples at all.

"King, my handsome family said that the time has come! If the king still refuses to accept the conditions, then prepare to destroy the capital with Kaijing! Quan Qian said.

He came to the Goryeo palace this time at the request of Kwon Kyun himself.

Because of Quan Qian's understanding of Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, the king of Goryeo didn't dare to do anything to him at all!

For Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, no matter how humiliating the surrender conditions are, he will agree to it!

Sure enough, with both soft and hard, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo who had already been scared, and others quickly agreed to all the conditions put forward by Zhu Han!

The conditions for providing food and grass and killing Cui Ying were all implemented immediately.

Three days later, Cui Ying, a Goryeo general who was leading the army desperately to Kaijing, sent someone to carry the royal order and poisoned wine to die in the army!

The Goryeo army was immediately disappointed and shocked by the Goryeo king's brutal murder of loyal ministers!

Loyal ministers like Cui Ying were all killed by the King of Goryeo, so how could the others care about loyalty or disloyalty, and King Qin's army was scattered in an instant.

Overnight, Goryeo has changed!

Zhu Han set up the Goryeo Metropolitan Protectorate in Goryeo, and he personally served as the Goryeo Metropolitan Protector.

The Goryeo Metropolitan Protectorate, managed the Eight Banner Army of Goryeo, and led each banner army by Kwon Signing and others, and controlled all key places from Jeolla Province to Yangguang Province!

The entire country of Goryeo was suddenly in a mess!

The Goryeo Eight Banners Army controlled the city of Kaijing, and the king of Goryeo, Wang Qi, had completely turned into a puppet.

In the Goryeo Kingdom, there were those who obeyed the order to submit to the Red Turban Army, and they were trained to enter the Eight Banners of Goryeo.

There are also many who are unwilling and rely on local forces to divide the territory and try to resist the Red Turban Army!

The Goryeo Eight Banners Army soon fought with the rebels from all walks of life.

The country of Goryeo is in chaos, and these are all in Zhu Han's calculations! A messy Goryeo is a good Goryeo!

In this way, the Goryeo people can help An An's peace of mind to be a dog's leg to the Red Turban Army, and a chaotic Goryeo is in Zhu Han's interests today.

Goryeo, who was in a mess, naturally had no mind to covet Tamna Island.

Zhu Han transported the grain and grass salvaged from Goryeo to Tamna Island.

Subsequently, more than 10,000 Goryeo women were transported back to Jiangnan with Zhu Han!

When the news was transmitted back to Jinling, the entire Longxing army was suddenly jubilant!

These men who have followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers for many years are all single!

These Korean women have been carefully selected, and regardless of their appearance or body, they are all at the upper middle level!

These more than 10,000 Goryeo women just assigned the meritorious soldiers of the Longxing Army to be their mothers-in-law, which solved the problem of singles for most of the soldiers of the Longxing Army.

Although these soldiers are paid very well, it is indeed difficult to get a wife, and most people are reluctant to marry their daughters to these fierce men who work everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also strictly forbidden to rob people's girls, which naturally creates a large number of singles.

Zhu Han, a more than 10,000 Goryeo woman, just solves the urgent need!

Outside Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, personally led hundreds of officials of all sizes in Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces, as well as generals of the Longxing Army and others to greet the triumphant Zhu Han on the Jinling wharf.

This grand triumphal ceremony is not only for Zhu Han, but also to promote the great martial arts of the Red Turban Army to the people of Jiangnan!

"Destroy a country in two months, and make a forced landing on the enemy king! From ancient times to the present day, there are few famous generals! Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Han's shoulder and said with a loud smile.

Zhu Han was a little embarrassed by this compliment, "Brother, Goryeo is just a group of local chickens and dogs, and the soldiers of our army are like dragons and tigers, so it's not like they can be captured!" Celebrity, I can't afford it! ”

"Stand it, stand it! Our brother is a famous general! ”

"Don't you know, as soon as Goryeo gives in, the general trend of the world will become clearer and clearer!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

。

。

。

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was really right, as soon as Goryeo was in chaos, Mengyuan Liaoyang Province immediately became nervous.

In the face of Goryeo's betrayal.

The barbarian soldiers and horses of the Jurchen tribes that had just been mobilized in Liaoyang Province naturally did not dare to move anymore, and they still had to stick to the defense line of the Changbai Mountain on the Yalu River to prevent the Red Turban Army from attacking north through the Goryeo Kingdom.

In this way, Mao Gui, the general of the Red Turban Army, led a group of soldiers and horses to the north from the Yellow River, straight into the Taihang Mountain to the north, and brought the middle ground of Mengyuan Mountain West and Hebei to dig a penetration, and when they broke through the northern pass, the Red Turban Army of the Northern Expedition was already as many as 100,000 people.

Even, Meng Yuan Jingshi was shocked three times a day!

Rumors that all kinds of red turban troops were about to fight under the capital were flying all over the sky, and for a while, even Meng Yuan's Jingshi was panicked, not to mention the rest of the provinces, prefectures and counties.

The rebel armies from all walks of life developed in full swing, and the Mengyuan officials in various places refused to respond to the imperial court's order to transfer troops and generals, and they each defended their own positions, not daring to leave the city easily.

The form of the world's anti-yuan is very good!

There are even many optimistic people who have speculated whether the Mengyuan Imperial Court will need a year, two years or three years to roll back to the grassland.

Zhu Han didn't care much about these estimates of future prospects, and at this time he only thought about one thing, that is, to continue to 'build high walls and accumulate grain', because the elder brother was already the king of Wu, and 'slow king' could only be replaced by 'slow emperor', of course, this could only be said by the brothers in private.

In today's Tianwan regime in the Huguang area, Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang and others have just annexed most of Jiangxi, and they may have to march eastward at any time to seize the rich and treasured land of Jiangnan.

At this time, Xu Da led the army into Fujian, and with the coordination of Chen Youding and others, the Semu rebels were driven back to the Quanzhou area.

Zhu Han only needs to send another naval army to encircle him, and he can kill all the Quanzhou Huihui!

Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were busy digesting the fruits of victory in Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and in Bianliang City in the north, Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, also made the most optimistic judgment in the face of a good situation in the world.

"Prime Minister, Zhu Han has just defeated Goryeo, and the King of Goryeo surrendered to my Great Song Dynasty, so can I directly go north to the capital?" Han Lin'er sat on the dragon chair and asked.

Hearing Han Lin's words, Liu Futong was not so optimistic.

"Your Majesty, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, surrendered to Zhu Han, but not to my Great Song Dynasty!"

Liu Futong said with a gloomy face.

"Prime Minister, what's the difference? Zhu Han, isn't he also my official of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Liu Futong sighed helplessly, "Alas! Your Majesty, Brother Zhu Yuanzhang must already have a heart of disobedience! ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers have two hearts, so what can I do?" Han Lin'er hurriedly asked.

"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as Your Majesty is strong himself, it is not impossible to suppress their brothers!" Liu Futong said.

For Han Lin'er, Liu Futong can be said to be really attentive to the left.

Liu Futong and Han Lin'er's father Han Shantong are good friends, if there is chaos today, Han Lin'er, the emperor, is not a blessed position, he is really trembling and walking on thin ice.

"Prime Minister, then tell me quickly, what should I do?" Han Lin'er asked.

"Your Majesty, now that Meng Yuan is about to die, we can save up more prestige at this time and let everyone in the world see it...... You are a promising king, in that case, no matter how powerful the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers are, they will never be able to mess with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, otherwise...... They are rebels and thieves! ”

"Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished!"

Liu Futong's words immediately made Han Lin'er understand.

"What does the prime minister mean, do you want me to go to the battlefield to fight in person?" Han Lin'er asked.

"That's right, in fact, you don't need Your Majesty to really go into battle to kill the enemy, you just need to show your face on the front line, and for the soldiers, it's enough." Liu Futong said.

Many of the soldiers of the Red Turban Army were originally White Lotus cultists.

They have always had great respect for the leader of Han Shantong.

As long as Han Lin'er shows his face a lot, he will easily be able to win the support of most of the Red Turban Army soldiers.

"Is that enough?" Han Lin'er asked.

"Of course it's not enough, the strength of the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers is too strong, so we must find a way to win over the other leaders, and we must not let them defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise, once the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers are strong and don't raise the banner of our Red Turban Army, then they will suffer."

Liu Futong's words made Han Lin'er think so.

Up and down the Red Turban Army, almost one-third of the grain and grass supplies now need Zhu Yuanzhang's support and supplement. Once Zhu Yuanzhang gains the support of many righteous generals, the shelf of the Red Turban Army's 'Great Song' will collapse.

"Uncle, just say, what are you going to do?"

At this time, they had already waved away the palace maid and the others, and immediately became cordial.

"Your Majesty, isn't this very difficult, to add officials to the leaders of all walks of life, so that they can be on an equal footing with Zhu Yuanzhang, and even those who are highly respected are higher than Zhu Yuanzhang, isn't this just able to make it difficult for them to hold together?" Liu Futong said.

I have to say that Liu Futong's political level is really not very high.

He was able to come up with a way to divide Zhu Yuanzhang and the other leaders.

There is nothing else but this one.

However, as long as Han Lin'er thinks it is good, it is enough.

"Okay, uncle, this method you said is too good." Han Lin'er suddenly became happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now knighted King Wu.

King Ying, who is second only to Liu Futong, is the largest knighted rank in the Red Turban Army.

In this way, you will definitely be able to gain the respect of the other leaders.

And once they also gained a high status.

When he looks at Zhu Yuanzhang again, he will inevitably not be so willing to be subordinate.

Soon.

In the name of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Lin'er rewarded the leaders of the rebel armies from all walks of life in the Central Plains and promoted them to official positions.

Like Peng Da, Sesame Li, Mao Gui, and Guo Zixing and others were all named kings, and their official positions were also installed with the title of marshal of the march on a certain road, and all of a sudden, more than 20 famous 'kings' appeared in the Red Turban Army on the Huanghuai Plain.

Jiangnan, Jinling.

Zhu Han soon got the news that Han Lin'er was sealing the kings in the north.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite speechless about this.

"What a stupid move!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but say with disdain.

"Yes, the official system that was formulated not long ago didn't take long for him to arbitrarily divide the kings and marshals, and if this continues, everyone in the world will think that the Red Turban Army is a grass platform." Zhu Han said.

The official system is the foundation of a political regime, and once it falls into chaos, it will not be far from the chaos of the regime.

An important reason for the chaotic situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the later period was that it was a great policy mistake to divide the kings indiscriminately, and in the end there were thousands of large and small princes.

Zhu Han naturally didn't think that Han Lin'er was playing around, and he had already guessed that it was aimed at his brothers.

"We still have to pay attention to this matter, Liu Futong must be suspicious of us, unlike before, he really treats us as brothers in the righteous army." Zhu Han said.

"He Liu Futong doesn't treat us as brothers, and we're not afraid of him, now Jiangnan is in our hands, we want soldiers and soldiers, money and money, and food, what is Han Lin'er doing with that kid?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han thought about it, and this was indeed the case.

The two provinces of Jiangbei and Jiangnan have burst into vitality under their governance.

The population and tax burden of a Jiangnan alone, as well as food, are enough to supply hundreds of thousands of troops.

So for Liu Futong's suspicious behavior.

After discussing with Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was no need to pay attention to him anymore.

Just act as if nothing has happened, and everyone just maintain a superficial harmony.

The two brothers continued to build a high wall in Jinling and accumulate grain.

Soon after, something came from the north that made Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers feel even more speechless.

"Seventy-five, Han Lin'er actually wants to drive the Northern Expedition in person, this is really a child's play." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han speechlessly.

"Han Lin'er really made a lot of money in order to raise his reputation." Zhu Han said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed when he heard this.

"Anyway, after all, Han Lin'er went to fight the Mongols, and at a young age, he is also a man." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"However, this matter is not very dangerous, if Liu Futong makes any accident with Han Lin'er, then he will have to take it off."

Zhu Han's concern is not unreasonable.

Because in today's Kaifeng Bianliang City, many generals of the Red Turban Army are also opposing Han Lin'er's decision to personally go on a northern expedition.

Kaifeng Bianliang City.

Inside the palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

Today's Great Song Dynasty Palace is actually still a little shabby, not only does it not have a withered beam incense house, but also there are no gold bricks and jade tiles.

The Great Song Imperial Palace in Bianliang City was improved on the basis of the original Mongolian Wei Palace.

"Your Majesty, the war is dangerous! If His Majesty is on a personal expedition, what will Da Song do if there is any accident? ”

The person who said this was wearing a yellow royal robe, and it was Mr. Guan, who had just been knighted.

Hearing Mr. Guan's words, many of the generals of the Red Turban Army also persuaded Han Lin'er not to drive in person.

However, in the face of the persuasion of many Red Turban Army generals, Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was indeed unmoved.

Liu Futong, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty on the side, said, "Don't talk about it anymore, I have already discussed this matter with Your Majesty, and now Meng Yuan is about to die, Your Majesty will personally recruit and show the world the power of the Great Song Emperor, and then it is normal!"

As for what's the danger, with all the loyal generals and civil officials by your side, how can Your Majesty have it!

God bless! Infallible! ”

"That's right! The prime minister is right! Han Lin'er also followed up and said, "This time in the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan, I must personally go into battle and cut off the heads of a few Mongolian Tartars to comfort the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

When Han Lin'er said this, it was as if he had really regarded the dozen or so emperors of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty as his ancestors.

After all, his current name is Zhao Lin'er and not Han Lin'er.

Everyone has no way to insist on Han Lin'er.

In the end, the Red Turban Army could only support the plan of the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er to drive the expedition in person.

Subsequently, Han Lin'er issued an edict in the name of the Great Song Emperor.

said that he wanted to call on the Han people and gentry in the world to rebel and strike the final fatal blow in the Mengyuan court!

The news of Han Lin'er's personal expedition soon spread to the Mongol capital.

The Empress Dowager Qi of the Great Yuan Dynasty has already been overwhelmed by a series of bad news.

Her home country, Goryeo, was defeated and surrendered by the Red Turban Army not long ago, and the Goryeo people completely fell to the Red Turban Army, and soon sent troops north to attack the Yuan Dynasty territory in Kuanseong.

The garrison around Kuanseong Province surrendered, and the Goryeo regime supported by the Red Turban Army soon took control of all the land south of the Yalu River, threatening the safety of Liaoyang Province, the rear of the Mongol Yuan.

Tens of thousands of Jurchen tribesmen in Liaoyang Province did not dare to move lightly, and all of them went to the Yalu River to prevent Goryeo from attacking from behind.

After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Goryeo today, and once they attack Liaoyang Province, they will threaten the heartland of the Yuan Dynasty.

Shangdu and Dadu, but the last retreat of the Yuan Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Qi did not have many soldiers and horses in her hands at all, and all the soldiers and horses were concentrated in the area of Dadu Shangdu to ensure the safety of her retreat to the Beitao grassland.

In the area of Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi to the south of the capital, only a few regimental training generals such as Chakhan Timur, Li Siqi, and Boluo Timur relied on their own troops and horses to resist the Red Turban Army.

The ministers of the Yuan Dynasty in various places almost did not have a clear attitude of support for the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Dynasty, and were in a state of waiting and seeing.

After all, they also knew that Meng Yuan was cruel and unkind, and the Red Turban Army robbed the rich and helped the poor, which was not the result they wanted.

So many of them have adopted a strategy of not helping each other.

In this group of Yuan Dynasty officials who watched and watched the wall, if you want to talk about the most loyal, it seems that only the Yan Sheng Gong Confucius family canonized by the Yuan Dynasty is the only one.

At the beginning, the Yan Sheng Gong of the Kong family sent someone to secretly contact the Great Song Dynasty of Bianliang.

However, Liu Futong sent people to beat them with sticks, not only confiscated the gold and silver treasures they used to bribe, but also was shaved by the Confucian envoys, tattooed on their faces and humiliated, and rushed back to Jining Mansion in Shandong.

As soon as the envoy saw Kong Yan's Holy Father, he immediately cried and complained about the atrocities of the Red Turban Army!

Kong Kejian, the Holy Duke of Yan, also understands that the Red Turban Army has completely disdained the brand of the Holy Duke of Yan.

The prestige and status of the Kong family are not worth mentioning at all for the Red Turban Army.

The Red Turban Army relied on millions of civilians based on the White Lotus Sect, and they were not scholars such as Yan Shenggong at all.

Under such circumstances, Kong Kejian, the prince of Yansheng, began to recruit troops and horses in Jining, actively preparing for war and repairing the city wall, preventing the Red Turban Army from conquering Jining and taking tens of thousands of fertile fields and manors up and down the Kong family.

For Yan Sheng Gongfu's behavior of protecting Da Yuan so loyally, the Empress Dowager Qi immediately issued an order to praise Yan Sheng Gongjia as well.

At the same time, she also ordered that the armed generals of the regimental training in various places should be given greater rights, allowing them to recruit troops and horses in various places, and there was no longer a limit on the number of soldiers.

Moreover, they can also serve as administrative officials, supervision officials, and financial and tax officials in various places.

In other words, the Yuan Dynasty court recognized the autonomy of these regimental training generals in various places, which was basically equivalent to the Tang Dynasty's temperance envoys, and the military, political, supervision, and financial power were all in one.

In this case, the skills of people like Chahan Timur, Boluo Timur, Li Siqi and others have been greatly brought into play.

In just one month, their soldiers and horses were more than doubled, and all of a sudden, the military pressure that the Red Turban Army would face in the Northern Expedition increased sharply.

But Liu Futong, Han Lin'er and others didn't know anything about this situation.

The autumn breeze is bleak, and it is in September.

In the name of the Great Song Emperor, Han Lin'er swore an oath to the Northern Expedition outside Bianliang City.

Liu Futong, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, crossed the Yellow River and marched north with Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty along the way were simply unable to fight.

In this regard, Han Lin'er and Liu Futong both felt that they should be able to capture Dadu soon, and even began to discuss the future governance of Dadu.

However, having just entered the territory of the Hebei Daimyo's Mansion, the Red Turban Army encountered strong resistance.

"Which Tartar general is guarding the Daimyo's Mansion ahead?" Liu Futong asked a Red Turban Army general.

The general immediately came up and replied, "Qi Yu Great Prime Minister, it is Chakhan Timur who guards the Daimyo's mansion!" ”

"It turned out to be Chakhan Timur, and he can be regarded as our old acquaintance."

"If you are defeated, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Futong said with a smile.

At this time, Han Lin'er, who was dressed in military uniform, asked, "What is the official position of this Chakhan Timur now?" ”

Liu Futong's subordinate general hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Chakhan Timur is now the head of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion, and he also serves as the imperial historian. ”

When Han Lin'er heard this, she nodded with a smile and said,

"It seems that this Chakhan Timur has really been reused, but his promotion has also ended here, and when my army invades the Daimyo's mansion, it will be when he is buried."

The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er this time can be described as imposing, and he has won one after another along the way, and a famous mansion is naturally not taken seriously.

However, the Yuan army of the Daimyo's Mansion soon gave the Red Turban Army a head-on blow.

In the first battle, a young general of the Yuan Army, who was only in his early twenties, led his army to raid that night, and the camp of the Red Turban Army immediately became a mess.

The first battle was a fiasco!

Han Lin'er's imperial majesty was also scattered by the Yuan army.

Liu Futong protected Han Lin'er and retreated ten miles, waiting for reinforcements from the follow-up army.

Inside the camp of the Red Turban Army.

Han Lin'er looked depressed, sitting on a chair, and the prime minister Liu Futong next to him did not have the proud look of complacency at the beginning.

"Who is this general of the Daimyo's Mansion?" Han Lin'er couldn't help but tremble and said.

Last night, the Yuan army of the Daimyo Mansion launched one raid after another, and the Red Turban Army did not know how many soldiers and horses the Yuan Army had dispatched, only that under the fierce charge of the Yuan Army, the camp of the Red Turban Army had a self-trampling fiasco.

The Red Turban Army not only lost the camp, but also the emperor's honor guard and flag, etc.

"Your Majesty, the last general and others have already found out, the general of the Yuan Army of the Daimyo Mansion yesterday is named Wang Baobao." Liu Futong said in frustration.

"Wang Baobao?"

Han Lin'er was puzzled for a while, he was very unfamiliar with this name.

"That's right, it's Wang Baobao, this person is the nephew of Chakhan Timur, he grew up with Chakhan Timur since he was a child, and he has been in the army in recent years, he is an old opponent of ours, but he didn't have such a big ability before, and now it seems that he has grown a lot!"

The person who said this was none other than Mr. Guan Duoguan, the think tank of the Red Turban Army.

The defeat of the Red Turban Army was actually not a big deal for the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

But this defeat under the Daimyo Castle really made the Yuan army excited.

The Northern Expedition of the Red Turban Army, which was full of momentum, encountered extremely stubborn resistance under the Daimyo's mansion.

The Yuan army, mainly cavalry, attacked the Red Turban Army's outpost and frequently attacked the Red Turban Army's logistics and grain routes.

The Red Turban Army was quickly exhausted by the flexible cavalry tactics of the Yuan Army, and there was no good way to deal with it.

In this way, the Red Turban Army suffered the defeat of the First Northern Expedition under the castle of the Daimyo's Mansion.

"Hurry up and give me a blast siege!"

Liu Futong pointed to the Daimyofu City in front of him and said angrily.

"No, Prime Minister! The Tartars are cunning, they have dug dozens of trenches outside the city, all filled with water, and if we dig the tunnels, we will bury our brothers in the tunnels. The general immediately persuaded.

After many actual combat experiences, digging ditches outside the city to block tunnels approaching the city wall can be said to be the best way to defend against blasting.

No matter how stupid the Yuan army is, after so many actual battles, it has learned how to avoid being breached by the Red Turban Army.

Several water-filled trenches outside the city blocked the Red Turbans.

Inside the Daimyo Castle.

The governor of the Daimyo Mansion of the Great Yuan and the Pingzhangcha Khan of Henan Province Timur was already sick in bed at this time.

Not long ago, he was assassinated by several assassins sent by the Red Turban Army, and his old wounds also recurred, and he was no longer able to handle military affairs, and all military affairs were entrusted to his nephew Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao was able to give full play to his talents in the Daimyo Mansion this time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yuan army.

For this angry nephew, Chakhan Timur also had no worries.

"This time, the red turban thieves will definitely retreat, and they must take advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture Bianliang, and resolutely cannot give them the opportunity to establish a rebuilding force in Henan." Chakhan Timur was worthy of being a loyal servant of the Yuan Dynasty, and he had already drawn up a detailed plan for counterattack.

In front of his hospital bed, this general of the Yuan army was none other than Wang Baobao.

After he heard Chahan Timur's instructions, he immediately said loudly, "Please rest assured, uncle, I will definitely live up to my uncle's orders and destroy these red turban thieves for the imperial court!" ”

The victories of Chahan Timur and Wang Baobao in the Daimyo Mansion soon inspired the surrounding Boluo Timur, Li Siqi and others.

They successively sent reinforcements outside the Daimyofu Castle and launched a fierce battle with the Red Turban Army.

Although the Red Turban Army had a numerical advantage, the elite of the Yuan Army had already won the full support of the Dadu Imperial Court, and there were also various local supports, etc., and the two sides were fighting on a par in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Faced with such a situation, the Empress Dowager Qi of Dadu immediately sent someone to issue an order, which was passed to Zuo Prime Minister Hama of Shandong Province, as well as the Yansheng Gong Kong family of Jining Prefecture, asking them to send troops to cross the Yellow River and go straight to Bianliang, Xuzhou and other places in the rear of the Red Turban Army in Henan.

In this way, the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao can be achieved, so that the Red Turban Army of the Daimyo's Mansion can be chaotic without a fight.

Dadu, within the imperial palace of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Qi is convening a court meeting of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Empress Dowager Qi looked at the battle report sent from the front, and her delicate face was already smiling.

"This nephew of Chakhan Timur is called Wang Baobao, but he is really a hero!"

"He is worthy of being a loyal minister of my Great Yuan!"

"Such loyal ministers and good generals must be vigorously praised, and we must not delay the heart of loyal ministers and good generals to serve the country because of being stingy with some knights!"

Empress Dowager Qi's words were immediately unanimously agreed by a group of civil and military ministers.

After some inquiry, Empress Qi learned from the ministers of the Wen Manchu Dynasty that Wang Baobao, the nephew of Chakhan Timur, was only twenty years old this year, and she was immediately surprised.

Empress Dowager Qi hurriedly asked the courtiers, "Has Wang Baobao ever been married?" ”

"This palace remembers that there are many princesses of the clan in the court, and the county lord or something, there is no marriage match, and you can give him a marriage to show that my Great Yuan Dynasty is honored and loyal to the ministers!"

However, even if Empress Qi wants to promote loyal ministers, she will have to wait until she has repelled the Red Turban Army.

After all, the Red Turban Army is still stationed in hundreds of thousands, under the city of the Daimyo's Mansion.

If they can't repel the Red Turban Army, I'm afraid that Wang Baobaochahan Timur and others won't even have their lives, let alone enjoy some kind of grace and marriage.

Empress Qi and the civil and military ministers of the Yuan Dynasty issued an edict in a hurry, on the one hand, mobilizing all the military grain and grass in Zhongshu Province and Liaoyang Province near Dadu to provide it to the generals such as Chahan Timur, Li Siqi, Boluo and Timur on the front line.

On the other hand, he repeatedly urged Hama, Kong Kejian and others in Shandong to lead their troops to cross the Yellow River south and attack Xuzhou and Bianliang.

Soon, the entire Yuan army knew that it had reached the critical point of life and death, and unexpectedly broke out with unprecedented unity.

Shandong Province Zuocheng Hama sent 10,000 elite soldiers to unite with Kong Kejian, the Yansheng Gong of Jining!

A total of 30,000 troops were dispatched, and they crossed the Yellow River overnight when the Red Turban Army was unprepared, and attacked Xuzhou by surprise.

Although the Dayuan Loyal and Righteous Army led by Kong Kejian, the Holy Duke of Yan, did not defeat Xuzhou, they defeated the remaining soldiers and horses of the Red Turban Army outside Xuzhou, so that the Red Turban Army did not dare to continue to pursue.

Then they turned west and pointed directly at Bianliang City, and for a while, rumors of the destruction of Bianliang City flew all over the sky, and soon spread to the north bank of the Yellow River.

The Red Turban Army is in the Daimyo

Under the city, it was no longer possible to advance a bit, and the news that Bianliang City was raided by the Yuan army came from behind him.

Suddenly, the army's heart was disrupted, and all the generals persuaded Han Lin'er and Liu Futong to withdraw their troops.

For this result, Han Lin'er and Liu Futong were not reconciled.

They mobilized the army to march to the Northern Expedition, but they didn't want to run back in such a disgraced state.

If he didn't conquer the Daimyo's Mansion, it would not be enough to show the world the prestige of his Han Lin'er's emperor.
