"That's great, so you don't have to fight anymore." Liu Sanniang, the side concubine of the British king, said.

"You're just talking nonsense, the Tartars ran away, it doesn't mean that we don't chase and kill, how can we not fight!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"The Tartars have all run away to the Mobei grassland, do you still want to chase and kill?" Liu Sanniang felt a little incomprehensible.

She had heard that the grassland in the north of the desert was either the desert next door or the barren grassland, and when it came to winter, a person could freeze to death, and he could freeze when he peed.

And in the summer, it is a palm-sized mosquito flying all over the sky, biting and killing individuals.

In such a poor place, she felt that there was no need to hunt and kill.

"The Tartars can come to the Central Plains to wreak havoc, why can't we go to the grasslands?" Zhu Han said with a smile.

After entering the palace, as soon as he saw his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han told him the information of Liaoyang Province.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked by this news.

"Are the Mongols struggling to even struggle, and they want to run away?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little incredible.

Even if the Great Yuan Dynasty is down, it can be regarded as having more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

There are still hundreds of thousands of Mongol Semu people who are loyal to him, why do they want to run away in advance?

"If the general trend is like this today, as the so-called luck to the heroes is not free, the fortune of heaven no longer cares about the Mongols, even if Genghis Khan comes, most of them can't hold it, if you want me to say, the Mongols can think of running away in advance, which is a clever move." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Land, are they really so easy to give up?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Obviously, in this matter, the difference between the Han and the Mongols is very large.

"The Mongolians don't pay attention to the land, they pay attention to the pasture and water, as long as there is better pasture and water, then the nomadic past, for the Mongolians, the Central Plains is no longer suitable for them to survive, naturally they have to run away." Zhu Han said.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was also very reasonable, he nodded, then looked at Zhu Han and asked, "Qiwu, what do you think, should you let Xu Da and them speed up their march and take Dadu immediately?" ”

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Zhu Han once proposed a plan for 100,000 troops to cross the sea and land and raid the capital!

Now it seems to be very feasible.

Who knows, Zhu Han is directly opposed to this strategy.

"No, brother, we can't be in a hurry, but we should follow the original plan, fight steadily, first take the entire territory of Shandong, then enter Henan, then take Guanzhong and Shanxi, and finally fight Dadu!" Zhu Han said with a blank face.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious and incomprehensible, "In the end, if you hit Dadu, then the Mongols will all run out!" ”

"yes, just let them run! And, not only let them run, but let them run according to our plan! Zhu Han said.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was already confused, and he didn't understand what Zhu Han meant at all.

"What do you mean, what do you mean by letting them run according to our plan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and took out a huge roll of paper from his arms.

"What is this?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Map."

"Maps? What map? ”

"A map of the whole world!" Zhu Han smiled mysteriously.

"Oh."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, and silently watched Zhu Han open this huge map on the table.

However, as the map unfolded, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this map was completely different from what he imagined!

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that the map of the world included the Han region of the Central Plains, plus the grasslands in the north, Tubo in the west, Nanyang and Goryeo, etc., even if it was a complete world.

However, in this map unfolded by Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that the world only occupied a small part of the map, and it may not even be half of half of the map.

"Ah, this, what is this?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang stammered in shock.

"Brother, this is the real world!

Zhu Han looked proud.

This map was obtained by Zhu Han system, and then he drew it again, not only the Eurasian world island, but also North and South America, Oceania, and the Antarctic continent.

For the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, this is simply something that subverts the three views.

"It's so big! Seventy-five, this is our Daming? The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the name of Nanjing Yingtianfu and the surrounding area were marked in red on the map.

"That's right, this is our current Da Ming!" Zhu Han said.

"Then here is Chen Youliang, here is Ming Yuzhen, here is the remnants of Mengyuan in Yunnan, why are several places here not marked?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the Western Regions and Central Asia with his hand.

"It's so chaotic there, I don't know how to mark it." Zhu Han said calmly.

The Chagatai Khanate and the Yin Khanate of the Mongol Empire are now at the end of their rope.

Internal strife continued, and even the Great Luo Immortals had a hard time figuring out the division of their local forces.

"Then where is here, why is there such a big piece of land, it seems to be bigger than the entire Central Plains!" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the northwest place.

"This is the Golden Horde, a vassal state divided by Genghis Khan." Zhu Han said.

Elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang gasped, "How can such a big territory be even bigger than the Central Plains!" ”

The Golden Horde stretched from the Kazakh steppes of Central Asia in the east to the kingdoms of Daarros in the west.

With the Caspian Caucasus Mountains to the south and the North Pole to the north, it is naturally a very vast land.

"The land is vast and sparsely populated, so naturally it is larger." Zhu Han said.

"Are there many more countries further west?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Han stretched out his hand and pointed to the European continent on the map, which was like a mosaic puzzle, "Not to mention many countries, there are thousands of countries here!" ”

"What, a thousand countries?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.

He took a serious look at Europa on the map.

No matter how you look at it, it is only slightly larger than the Central Plains, how can there be thousands of countries.

"Brother, there are all small feudal countries here, mastering a county, there are 350,000 people, even if it is a medium-sized monarch, with a landlord's compound, controlling a place of three or five miles, and a small monarch, spelling out thousands of countries, it is not very simple." Zhu Han said with a smile.

It's not like he's talking nonsense.

Nowadays, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other places have not yet been unified, and there are large and small feudal states everywhere, and there are thousands of feudal countries, and there are still a few of them.

"We understand, Qiwu, you're planning to make a move to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, aren't you?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood something.

"Right! Brother, such a large territory, don't you think it's a pity to look at it, we Chinese Han people, trapped in such a small area, a larger place, but untouchable, and when future generations face a shortage of land, they don't even have a way to live, they can only kill each other, isn't it too miserable. Zhu Han said.

"Yes, that makes sense!" Elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"Therefore, we will drive the Mongols westward and let them re-follow the path of Genghis Khan on the other side, but this time, we will chase after us and wait until the Mongols go all the way and kill all the way."

"We will then go and occupy it, arrange the soldiers of the Tuntian Frontier, and leave a vast land for future generations!" Zhu Han describes his grand blueprint.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was directly shocked by Zhu Han's generosity, and asked, "Seventy-five, what do you say we should do in the first step?" ”

"Let the Mongols pack up the soft and population first, and then force them to go north into the grassland, I have already inquired, now the Mongols in the Central Plains have been difficult to adapt to the climate of the Mobei grassland, and they will definitely not be able to survive when the time comes, and we will send people to secretly lobby and tell them the situation in the Western Regions, so that they can migrate westward by themselves." Zhu Han said.

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and immediately felt that there was a loophole in it:

"But if the Mongols refuse to move west, what should we do?"

"Don't go west? Then they are waiting to destroy the country and exterminate the species on the grassland! Zhu Han sneered.

Subsequently, Zhu Han came up with his huge plan to pacify the grassland.

In Zhu Han's plan, he no longer used the original long-distance raid method for the grassland, but steadily and steadily, starting from the northeast of Liaoyang, using a large number of military fortresses as a base, and gradually infiltrating and controlling the grassland.

These military fortresses were all defended with muskets and artillery, a fortress of two or three hundred men!

As long as the gunpowder and ammunition are sufficient, it can completely withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people.

As long as there is a fortress to stand up, the surrounding nomads will fall into great passivity, after all, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there may only be one or two households or a dozen people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Yes, yes!"

"With this method, the Mongols will no longer be arrogant."

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang showed a very pleased smile, originally according to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, after the Ming Dynasty conquered the world, the Great Wall and other fortifications would be repaired in the north to prevent the nomads from plundering.

However, that was always a passive defense, and the initiative was in the hands of the Mongols.

If Zhu Han's fortress advancement method is adopted, then the money from the construction of the Great Wall can be used to build fortresses and fortresses, and better results can be achieved.

"As long as a number of fortresses are built and the Mongols know that they can't gnaw, then they will no longer stay in Mobei with peace of mind, and they will definitely think of a way out in advance, and the only way out is to go west, after all, the Chagatai Khanate there is still a nominal vassal state of the Great Yuan." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"As long as the Mongols leave Mobei, it is destined to be a point of no return." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction.

In order to ensure the implementation of this plan, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict in succession, asking Xu Da to strictly implement the strategy of sweeping the Central Plains, and not to allow the enemy to enter and take the capital directly.

In the face of such a harsh edict, Xu Da, who had just learned the information about the emptiness of Dadu, thought that the Mongols had set up a plan to lure the enemy in Dadu, holding the edict in his hand, and scolded the dog Tartar again and again.

The Ming Dynasty in the first year of Hongwu, as soon as it appeared, attacked from all sides with an unstoppable momentum.

Xu Da led the army from Qufu in Shandong to the north, collected the entire territory of Shandong, and then turned around and entered Henan.

In the direction of Huguang, Hu Dahai, Zhang Dingbian and other generals of the new army led the waterway coalition army to occupy most of Hubei, and the Han Emperor Chen Youliang had no choice but to give up his national capital Hanyang and go up along the Yangtze River to fight Ming Yuzhen.

In the face of the menacing Ming Dynasty, all forces in the world are powerless!

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, one is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the prince of the left prime minister who assists the government.

In the cold winter, because it is the winter solstice festival, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty have a day off.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was finally able to take a rest, and Empress Ma sent someone to prepare a family banquet in the palace, so that Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang could rest for a day.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Han stopped his wine glass and stopped drinking.

Alcohol is too pathogenic, he is still a teenager, it is better to drink less.

However, Zhu Han felt that he was a teenager, but his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and sister-in-law Queen Ma did not think that he was a teenager, but should be an adult.

"Let's say, after today, you are also sixteen years old, and you have grown up, so you should tell you a family business." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Hanna did not contain a lake at all, and said:

"Brother, sixteen is also a teenager, and he is not in a hurry to get married."

"Fart, if you don't get married, where will the heirs come from, if you don't have children, are you worthy of our father?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded.

Speaking of his father, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became sad again.

"In the winter of that year, my mother said that after the New Year, she asked someone to protect me to say goodbye, and to be a door-to-door son-in-law, I could always mix my stomach and not starve to death, but after the New Year, after the beginning of spring, the whole family, the whole family starved to death!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was already in tears when he said this.

Queen Ma hurriedly comforted her.

Zhu Han also bowed his head and was silent, to be honest, he didn't remember what happened when he was a child at all.

"Now that we are the emperor, then we have to let our old Zhu family spread out and bare the lintel! Your family affairs must be settled, otherwise don't blame us for using family law! Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said fiercely.

Under the coercion and temptation, Zhu Han could only obediently obey the arrangement.

However, Zhu Han also put forward his own requirements, that is, he resolutely cannot be a woman who binds her feet, and Zhu Han hates the matter of women's feet, and even orders that women are not allowed to bind their feet, but some big families still think it is an elegant etiquette and still bind their daughters' feet.

Hearing Zhu Han ask the woman not to bind her feet, Queen Ma's heart was warm.

My younger brother and husband really have the same heart, and they really don't like to wrap their feet.

His big feet are destined not to be disliked in the old Zhu family.

Those big feet, this may be the only knot in Queen Ma's heart.

After understanding Zhu Han's request, Empress Ma immediately inquired about the female volume of honorable officials in Nanjing Yingtianfu.

No matter which family the girl is, as long as she is of the right age, she is of good character.

Queen Ma would send someone to invite her to the palace for a party, nominally to accompany the queen to relieve her boredom.

In fact, he was looking for a candidate for Zhu Han to be the princess.

In this way, after three or five days, Queen Ma will select a group of women from good families, and then send someone to invite Zhu Han to come and observe secretly to see if he has any eyes.

After choosing three or five girls, Zhu Han did not express his position for a long time.

Queen Ma looked at it, this must be dissatisfied with the person she selected, since this is the case, then continue to choose.

This time, not only Nanjing Yingtianfu, but even the officials and gentry in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, as long as there is a suitable woman, Queen Ma secretly sent someone to find it.

I inquired about more than 20 school-age women with excellent looks and family backgrounds.

As winter goes to spring, the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty will soon come.

During the Lantern Festival in the first month, the girls of these Jiangnan officials and gentry were invited by Queen Ma to Yingtianfu in Nanjing and entered the palace in the name of enjoying the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

For this choice of concubines, Queen Ma and her brother Zhu Yuanzhang are full of confidence.

There are more than 20 girls, and there is always one that suits your heart.

More than twenty girls enjoy fireworks and lanterns in the palace.

Under the translucent candlelight, the faces are incomparably clear.

Zhu Han looked at these women carefully one by one on the side.

When the lanterns dispersed, the women also left one by one.

Queen Ma and her elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran over to ask Zhu Han.

"How's it going, Qiwu, which girl do you have a crush on?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember her name and appearance, you just say what clothes she is wearing, everyone is wearing clothes I gave, everyone has different pictures, there are peaches, lotus, yellow finches."

Sister-in-law Ma Xiuying is worthy of being a smart person, and she has already helped Zhu Han think of the problem of identification.

But Zhu Han didn't speak, which made the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma anxious.

"You stinky boy, if you don't say it, if you don't say it again, I'll let Chang Yuchun's sister marry you as a princess!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

Zhu Han exploded when he heard it, "Brother, you are too ruthless, Chang Yuchun and his sister are better than Chang Yuchun!" ”

"Then hurry up!" Queen Ma urged.

"Then I can say it, don't blame me." Zhu Han was a little embarrassed.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma looked at each other and smiled, a little proud.

"Whichever girl you like, just say her clothes." Queen Ma said with a smile.

I only heard Zhu Han say slowly: "Oh, that's grapes, oranges, peaches, kingfishers, orchids, melons, bamboos, pearls, ......."

Zhu Yuanzhang: ".

。 ”

Queen Ma: ".

。 ”

Zhu Han said all the more than a dozen favorite girls in one breath, just like announcing the name of the dish.

When he looked up at his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and sister-in-law Queen Ma again, he found that the two of them had very wonderful faces.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Han looked puzzled.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, "Qiwu, are you dying?" ”

Sister-in-law Queen Ma also looked distressed, "Seventy-five, good, you are still young, don't be so greedy." ”

Zhu Han suddenly became angry, "Why is it at this time, I'm still young again, don't you say that I'm already an adult, since I'm an adult, hehehe."

。

”

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled, looked at Zhu Han who was smiling evilly, and hurriedly asked:

"You stinky boy laughs at a fart, even if you're an adult, what's the matter?"

Zhu Han raised his head and said majestically: "Children only make choices, since I am an adult, then I want them all!" ”

"Damn!" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't help but burst into foul language, and said: "Our emperor, now there are only two concubines, and we don't have so many ourselves, it's good for you."

tomato

。 Hey, young! ”

Unconsciously, sister-in-law Ma Xiuying's little hand reached out to the waist of her brother Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Han pretended not to see the matter between their husband and wife, and said to himself:

"You let me choose, and now I do, if you don't agree, it's really boring."

Zhu Han said, turned his head and was about to leave, this is also his purpose, these ladies are no problem with their appearance and knowledge, but Zhu Han has come into contact with some women, and knows that they are very inappropriate with his temperament, and he is afraid that he will get more and more annoyed with them over time.

However, Zhu Han had just turned around, and his sister-in-law, Queen Ma, grabbed him.

I saw Queen Ma gritting her teeth and said to Zhu Han:

"You are the younger brother of our family, now the old Zhu family is a royal style, what's wrong with marrying a few more concubines, I think there is no problem at all!"

At this moment, it was Zhu Han's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Huh? Sister-in-law, you're kidding. Zhu Han was a little scared.

"Do you think I'm joking? They came so far to Ying Tianfu, am I joking? "Queen Ma is obviously also a temperamental person, so she doesn't believe that she can't cure Zhu Han's ghostly idea.

"And what do you mean?" Zhu Han is really a little afraid of his sister-in-law.

"I've written down all the ones you just mentioned, grapes, oranges, peaches, kingfishers, orchids, melons, bamboos, oh, and pearls! These girls are a great match, so just wait. After Queen Ma finished speaking, she pulled her brother Zhu Yuanzhang and walked away quickly, leaving Zhu Han alone in the wind of the Lantern Festival.

"Oh no, such a dozen concubines, if they really come, then wouldn't I have to become a human being?" Zhu Han suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Even if you don't do it as an adult, I'm afraid that the family will be smoky!

is just Liu Sanniang, a little female bandit, who makes some moths from time to time, and then comes to more than a dozen ladies with a lot of hearts, but I am afraid that my British Mansion will be fried.

Dayuan Jingshi, the capital city.

Palace.

The Empress Dowager Qi of the Great Yuan Regent had a gloomy face, and her pretty face was covered with frost.

On the table is the recent military situation played in various places, and there is basically no good news, either there is a civil rebellion, or the local government needs reinforcements or military supplies to suppress bandits.

And the entire Great Yuan Dynasty is now unable to hold any decent reinforcements and military supplies.

Chakhan Timur died in the battle of Qufu, lost a large number of soldiers and grain and grass baggage, Wang Baobao and others led the Henan Yuan army to abandon Kaifeng, fled to the area of Cangzhou, Hebei, there are about 20,000 or 30,000 people, this is the last elite force of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

As the only remaining elite force, the Empress Dowager Qi naturally had to be cautious, how could it be used to go to various places to quell the rebellion.

"The Queen Mother, Liaoyang Pingzhang Naha played a concert, saying that Liaoyang was raided by the red turban thief Mao Gui, Guo Zixing and others, and more than 20 military fortresses in the Baishan area were lost, and the Queen Mother was asked to send reinforcements quickly, otherwise Liaoyang may also be in danger!" Jin Da, a trusted eunuch, knelt down and said.

Qi's face was displeased, "Tell Naha, there are no reinforcements, let him just hold Liaoyang City, those fortresses in Baishan, lose them, anyway, they are all closed and poor places." ”

The White Mountain, also known as the Changbai Mountains, is inhabited by many Jurchen tribes.

These Jurchen barbarians were estranged from the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty and belonged to poor relatives in the poor ravines.

Therefore, more than a hundred years ago, when the Jin Dynasty Jurchens entered the Central Plains to enjoy happiness, they did not bring these poor relatives with them, but left them in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, allowing them to survive safely until now.

"Queen Mother, Liaoyang Province said that there is no grain and grass to win over those Jurchens, and many Jurchens have taken refuge in the Red Turban Thieves, helping them to start attacking the city in Liaoyang and slaughtering the place!" Eunuch Jin Da continued.

"These abominable brutes!" Empress Dowager Qi gritted her teeth and said.

The Jurchens are used to being poor in Liaoyang, and they don't have any loyalty at all, and whoever gives more benefits is who they take refuge in.

If the Jurchens take refuge in the red turban thieves, then it will be difficult for Pingzhang Naha in Liaoyang Province to defend Liaoyang.

"You send someone to Liaoyang to deliver the decree, and let Naha gather his troops to guard Liaoyang, and wait for the will of the palace." Empress Dowager Qi said.

Empress Dowager Qi's will was naturally to prepare to give up Liaoyang Province.

Since Goryeo was conquered by the Red Turban Army Zhu Han, Liaoyang Province has completely fallen into passive defense, first Li Chenggui, the governor of Kuancheng on the south bank of the Yalu River, and others surrendered to the Red Turban Army, and now, it is the Changbai Mountain Jurchens who have taken refuge in the Red Turban Army, and the Mongolian soldiers and horses in the entire Liaoyang Province are only more than 20,000 people, and it is impossible to hold Liaoyang.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Qi was also ready to give up Liaoyang and let that Naha take the Liaoyang Mongols to retreat to the north of the desert.

"Queen Mother, the return of the horse exploration outside the city, Wang Shaobao is almost here." At this time, another eunuch leader, Pu Da, came in to report.

"Okay, quickly send someone to deliver the decree and let him enter the city overnight!"

As soon as Empress Dowager Qi heard that her lover's little brother was coming, she immediately relaxed a little.

She is looking forward to Wang Baobao's arrival so much, naturally it is not a simple relationship between men and women, but she is ready to discuss with Wang Baobao the specific plan to retreat north to Mobei.

That night, the prince of Dayuan, Shaobao Wang Baobao, entered the Dadu Palace at the third watch in the middle of the night.

Empress Dowager Qi talked with him at night, and finally made up her mind and made a detailed plan to escape north to Mobei.

"Queen Mother, now there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Zhongshu Province and Liaoyang, and they can all go north to Mobei, while the 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi can first defend according to Tongguan and other fortresses, and try to relocate some materials to the northwest to accumulate more reserves for the future." Wang Baobao said.

The plan of Meng Yuan to flee to the Central Plains was basically implemented in two parts, the Mongols in the northwest could retreat to the Moxi grassland along the Hexi Corridor, while the Mongols in the Dadu area would first retreat to the Monan grassland, and then retreat to Mobei.

"Naha of Liaoyang has repeatedly written to Liaoyang, saying that thieves from all walks of life in Liaoyang are raging, and there is not much military food and grass left, so I am afraid that the road to the north will be very difficult." Empress Dowager Qi said.

The Mongols fled north, not to travel, but to flee for their lives, naturally they need to carry their own accompanying grain and grass, Liaoyang Province is now short of grain and grass, once over the desert, I am afraid that because of logistics and supply problems, I am afraid that many Mongolian garrisons in Liaoyang Province have long not known how to survive as nomads.

"Naha sent a lot of troops and horses, and Liaoyang is a flank barrier, and I also asked the Queen Mother to give him an order to allocate half of the grain and grass to him, so that he could move north first." Wang Baobao thought for a while and said.

The Mongols under Naha are standard Mongols, and they are not those barbarians on the steppe, and they are trustworthy people who are bent on the Dadu court, so they naturally want to appease them well, and when they go to Mobei in the future, the prestige of the Mengyuan court still needs them.

"Okay, then follow your advice." Empress Dowager Qi agreed without hesitation, even if the food and grass preparations in most of the capital were already very insufficient, she still obeyed Wang Baobao's words.

The grain and grass of Dadu, as well as the encouragement of the Empress Dowager Qi, were soon sent to Pingzhang Naha, Liaoyang Province.

Inside the city of Liaoyang.

All the Mongols did not have much reaction to these grain and grass burdens transferred from most of the capital.

Because Nahachu said in the above that Liaoyang Province is short of grain, it is completely a lie.

It is true that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the official warehouse of Liaoyang Province, but it cannot be said that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Liaoyang Province.

In fact, Liaoyang is rich in local products, not only has a large number of mountain and wild medicinal materials, etc., but also has a huge horse farm on the edge of the Liao River, if the grain and grass are insufficient, just eating horse meat can support for a long time.

"Father, Mao Gui sent someone to deliver a letter again, and he wants to talk to his father secretly in Maruzhou!" His son, Tsarhan, walked in and said.

Mao Gui, as the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Red Turban Army, was appointed by Zhu Han as the military commander of the northern expedition to Liaoyang since he moved to Goryeo.

Guo Zixing, the father-in-law of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, sat in the rear and monitored every move in the Goryeo Kingdom.

Mao Gui and Guo Zixing cooperated very well.

In less than a year, the strength of the Red Turban Army was expanded to the north of Changbai Mountain.

Moreover, according to Zhu Han's instructions, Mao Gui has suspended military operations.

For Naha's frequent olive branches, wanting to lure the Mongols in Liaoyang Province to surrender, once the Mongols in Liaoyang Province surrender, it will be a huge blow to the Mengyuan court.

"Don't go, don't see, you are not allowed to contact Mao Gui's messenger again, if someone comes in the future, you will be sent out immediately." Naha said with a grim face.

In his heart, he was a hundred unhappy about surrendering the Red Turban Army, especially when he heard that there was not enough grain and grass in the capital, but the Empress Dowager Qi still sent someone to send this batch of grain and grass, which made Naha feel ashamed.

"Father, are you deluded by this little bit of food and grass? Do you really want to be like the Goryeo demon girl thinks, and go to Mobei to eat sand? Chahan said puzzled.

As a high-ranking official in Liaoyang, Chahan has heard many legends about the bitter cold land of Mobei.

The cold in Liaoyang Province is already terrible enough, but Mobei is several levels more terrifying, which has already made Chahan afraid of moving north.

"What are you afraid of! We were originally people of the grassland, and now that the Han people are strong again, we will give them the Central Plains, as long as they go to the grassland, they will definitely be able to kill again when they wait for the opportunity in the future. Naha said in a loud voice.

Hearing his father's words, Chahan was a hundred people who didn't believe it.

Everyone knows that the situation when the Mongols swept the world is almost difficult to reproduce, once Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty recovers the Central Plains, there will be no flaws in a hundred years.

If you really wait for a hundred years, I am afraid that the Mongols will completely decline first.

"Father, Mao Gui said it, then Zhu Han has promised, as long as we are willing to seal the land and return to obedience, father, you are still the province of Pingzhang, and the Mongols in Liaoyang will not be scattered, and they will still be under the command of my father." Chahan once again struggled to persuade his stubborn father.

Pingzhang Nahachu of Liaoyang Province hesitated, and still refused Mao Gui's secret meeting in Maruzhou.

Marushu Castle.

As a treasure trove of plains in the Changbai Mountains, Marushu is a place with an ancient history.

In the history of the Goguryeo Kingdom, the capital of the early middle and early periods has always been here, but at that time it was called Marudu.

After Mao Gui led the Red Turban Army to conquer this place, Zhu Han sent people to set up the Maruzhou Mansion here, as well as the Maruzhou Military Governor's Mansion, which was used to govern the local Jurchen military and civilians.

"Naha doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin."

Mao Gui looked at the news of Pingzhang Naha's refusal in Liaoyang Province, showing a mocking expression.

"My lord, these Mongols don't know what to do, it's better to let the last general lead the soldiers and horses, set foot in Liaoyang City, and capture Naha and these Mongols!"

Inside the tent, a young general spoke in Chinese with a strange accent.

Mao Gui glanced at him expressionlessly, and then said:

"Commander Li, the king of England has an order not to allow you Koreans to cross Maruzhou, have you forgotten?"

This young general is none other than Yi Sung-gye, who destroyed the Goryeo Dynasty and established the Lee dynasty in history.

It's just that today's Li Chenggui is not the general who can influence the overall situation of North Korea in the future, but only the general of the Kuancheng Governor's Mansion to the Chengcheng Red Turban Army.

The Goryeo people of this era, because of their relatively complete organizational strength, were superior to the Jurchen tribes in Changbai Mountain in terms of combat power.

Therefore, in order to curb the ambitions of the Goryeo people in the area of the Yalu River in Changbai Mountain, Zhu Han issued a strict order, the army composed of the Goryeo people was only allowed to operate in the area of Maruzhou to help Mao Gui deter the local Jurchens, and they were absolutely not allowed to continue to enter the Liaohe Plain north, and when Liaoyang Province was subdued in the future, Zhu Han also wanted to move all the Goryeo people to the Goryeo Peninsula, even if it was the Kuanzhou area on the south bank of the Yalu River, they would not be allowed to continue to live.

There is no way, the Goryeo stick can always make Zhu Han cause a burst of disgust, and now they need to help, and it is also a little guard.

"The last general is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how dare he disobey the military orders of the British king, it's just that he hates Naha for not knowing the times." Li Chenggui saluted respectfully, and then continued:

"Moreover, although there are many Goryeo people among the last generals, the ancestors of the last generals are from Youzhou, and the Goryeo who came to avoid the Khitan disaster will be Han Chinese, not Goryeo."

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated the "Edict on the Yuan Dynasty", all the Goryeo people knew that Mengyuan was completely finished.

The emerging Ming Dynasty, has an unstoppable momentum, has achieved frequent victories in all directions, Goryeo, a vassal country, except for being more careful to be a loyal dog to the Ming Dynasty, there is no way out.

As a vassal state, the status of the Goryeo people was significantly lower than that of the Han Chinese who garrisoned Goryeo.

Many Korean people who have knowledge and understand Han culture have found a Han identity for themselves, and the best way is naturally to find a Han ancestor for themselves.

As long as you have the identity of Han people, and then turn your head to look at those former Goryeo compatriots, you will immediately straighten your waist.

Lao Tzu, my ancestors are Han Chinese, and they are different from you Sanhan native barbarians of the Goryeo Peninsula!

As a local Goryeo nobleman in Kuanzhou, Li Chenggui's family immediately found themselves as an ancestor of the Han people.

Li Chenggui recently said that his ancestor was the famous Zhao County Li family, who lived in Youzhou at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and later in order to escape the war with the Khitans, the whole family migrated to Goryeo, so their Kuanzhou Li family is a descendant of the Li family of Zhao County in the Central Plains, not a Goryeo barbarian.

For the sake of being a Han Chinese, Li Chenggui took great pains to spend 5,000 taels of silver to go to Jiangnan to hire a professional to compile a family tree for his family.

Directly from the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Zhao County Li family, the family tree of more than 800 years was compiled in one go.

Li Chenggui and other Goryeo nobles attach so much importance to their Han identity, not simply for the sake of face, but for a more important purpose of interests.

According to rumors, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wants to sweep away the hundred-year-old Hu dust and restore the glory of the Han family, and there will be a series of actions to clean up the influence of the Hu Lu barbarians.

Among them, the king of Goryeo is a puppet of Mengyuan because he is a king of all dynasties, and the current Goryeo Wang Qi does not seem to be very honest, Zhu Han suggested, the Ming Dynasty is ready to depose the Goryeo Kingdom and change it to the direct jurisdiction of the central court.

Once the Goryeo Kingdom is eliminated, it will require a large number of Goryeo locals to be officials in power, and whoever is a Han will naturally be able to obtain greater power benefits.

Therefore, the entire Goryeo aristocracy is desperately trying to find a Han ancestor for themselves and confirm their identity as Han descendants.

"Okay, there is no need to rush about the affairs of Liaoyang Province, His Royal Highness has already instructed Nahachu to accept him if he wants to surrender, and if he wants to die, then satisfy him." Mao Gui said indifferently.

Although Liaoyang Pingzhang Nahachu is a descendant of the great Mongolian hero Mu Huali, he did not inherit the bravery of his ancestors, and his ability to lead troops to fight is really ordinary.

Mao Gui led the Northern Expedition Red Turban Army to win consecutive victories in Liaoyang Province.

Naha had several times the number of troops in the air, but he couldn't help him, and in the end he could only watch Mao Gui calmly retreat to Goryeo.

"Elhaqi!"

Mao Gui called, and a short and stout man wearing Jurchen clothes and two pigtails stood up.

"My lord, the last general!"

Erhaqi lived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, a tribal leader of the Jurchen in Maruzhou, originally loyal to the Mongols, and later because of dissatisfaction with the oppression of the Mongols, led the tribe to flee into the deep mountains and old forests, until Mao Gui led the troops into Maruzhou, and Elhaqi and others went down the mountain to take refuge.

Erhaqi dared to fight and rush, and made a lot of contributions when he helped Mao Gui conquer other Jurchen tribes, and soon grew into a 'Yiren general' under Mao Gui like Li Chenggui.

"The Mongols of Liaoyang Mansion, don't worry about him first, according to the military order of His Royal Highness the King of England, you take your soldiers and horses, enter the north to attack, subdue those tribes, and let them all know that now that the Ming Dynasty has established a country, His Majesty the Emperor is mighty and powerful, the Mongols are about to be finished, and whoever surrenders quickly will be able to save the lives of the tribesmen

, if anyone dares to resist and disobey the indoctrination, then let them die without a corpse! Mao Gui said coldly.
