October, looking at the sun.

Yingtianfu, which should have had a pleasant climate, had a cold day that was different from previous years. The door of the Fengtian Hall was open, and the wind blew into the hall with a chill, and many of the civil and military ministers who were separated from the two classes tightened their sleeves.

There are more ministers attending today's Shuowang Dynasty than in the past. The reason for this is that the generals of the Northern Expedition have triumphed. Although the plough court was a great success, due to the rudeness of the previous northern expedition, no grand ceremony was held when they returned to the city, and the generals only returned to the camp silently, without alarming the people in the city.

However, there is still room for the report work at the DPRK meeting. Under His Majesty Dan, kneeling were Xu Da, the commander of the Northern Expedition, Li Wenzhong, the general of the East Road, Deng Yu, the general of the West Road, and Lan Yu, Fu Youde and other generals of the Northern Expedition.

Xu Da knelt at the forefront, he was still dressed in military uniform, kneeling on one knee, and his expression couldn't hide the shame:

"His Majesty's trust is respected, and the country's heavy weapons are entrusted to the ministers, and the ministers are expected to attack the Northern Yuan clan, and Jingsheng will raise troops to build the Yuan."

"However, it was all because of the minister's carelessness and contempt for the enemy, which caused the northern expedition to be rude and the loss of the army. Please punish Your Majesty!"

Xu Da held up the talisman with both hands, and his words were sincere.

"Your Majesty! This matter is not the responsibility of the general alone! Whoever underestimates the enemy is the last general!" A military general with a pierced beard and a rough face wanted to stand up on the spot. "If you want to blame, just blame me Lan Yu alone! What's more, when the ambush is in place, if there is no commander to command, our middle route army will be overturned in an instant!"

"The last general thinks that the commander is not only innocent, but meritorious!"

"Sappy!" Xu Da turned his head and shouted in a deep voice, "Are you teaching Your Majesty to measure merit?"

"Shut up!"

"But ......" Lan Yu wanted to say more, Xu Dahu was stunned, under the power of the current military god of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu had to hang his head and kneel down obediently again.

"Your Majesty, Lan Yu is reckless and loyal, just to protect her ministers, and has no intention of offending the Holy Lord!"

"The dereliction of honor in his palace is willing to bear it all! I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."

Lao Zhu on the throne just looked at all this lightly. If it was in the past, he might have felt that Xu Da's rebuke of Lan Yu showed that his prestige in the army had gradually become a hidden danger. may also be jealous and alienated from Xu Da because of this.

But at this time, because of Zhu Su's relationship, he already knew that Lan Yu would become the leader of the Ming army in the future, and as the first person in the army of the next generation of the Ming Dynasty, he would become the sharp knife that completely destroyed the Northern Yuan court.

Xu Da is just a good seedling in the army.

"Heh, no wonder we wanted to kill this blue jade in history...... Now that his reputation is not revealed, he is so arrogant. If you become the head of the military in the future, then you can pay it back?"

"Although it is a good seedling...... But it is necessary to pull out the thorns before it can be done."

Lao Zhu thought to himself. waved his hand to the waiter on the side, and the waiter understood, stepped forward and respectfully collected all the talismans of Xu Da and several people, held them on a gold plate, and sent them to Lao Zhu for inspection.

Lao Zhu looked at it, nodded, and waved his hand. The chamberlain put away the talisman, and from then on, the army's march was officially over.

Lao Zhu stood up, walked in front of Xu Da, and helped him up. "Although you have not been able to complete the northern expedition, there is also a reason why the number of northern vitality has not been exhausted."

….

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Wang Baobao is also an old fighter. How can there be a reason to win all battles?"

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu also sighed secretly in his heart. From the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he admitted the legitimacy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty rule with patience and hatred, pinched his nose, and ordered to treat the Northern Yuan generals and the descendants of the imperial family well.

Yuan Ting escaped into Northern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang is vast, and now that Northern Yuan has taken a breath, it will be even more difficult to find a chance to annihilate in one fell swoop next time.

The reason why Lan Yu and Xu Da would go against the pre-set purpose of slowly approaching is also because of the vastness of the Northern Frontier, and they are worried that they will be like frightened birds in the desert once they are defeated.

It is useless to think about it now. After all, he still failed to defeat the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop. And according to the old five

said history, in the end, the Ming Dynasty failed to swallow the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty......

Retracting his thoughts and looking at the generals kneeling below, Lao Zhu continued: "Having said that, this northern expedition has not been completed, and it is not even appropriate to lose the soldiers and generals."

"Let's think about it again and again, in view of the outstanding achievements of you and others in the past, this northern expedition will not be punished."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others all knocked three times to thank him.

"Hmm." Lao Zhu nodded. "Now that the military power has been entrusted to you, you will first go back to the palace to rest for a while, and then go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to respond."

"The Department of Death Pensioners will do it themselves, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." The generals bowed their heads. In Xu Da's heart, he couldn't help but feel a burst of desolation.

I'm getting older, too. This battle in Mobei is only afraid that it will be my last battle.

If Your Majesty is furious and falls to the punishment of the crime, it means that there will be another opportunity to lead the army in the future.

But this time, there was no reward or punishment...... It shows that the emperor is determined to marginalize himself.

If there is a big battle in the future, there will be no chance for him to lead the troops again.

Lao Zhu sat on the top, looked at Xu Da's lonely expression in his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and skipped over quietly.

The generals of the Northern Expedition returned to the honorable class. Next, Tang He and other generals reported the results of the ploughing court and sweeping the caves.

"Under the encirclement and suppression of our army, all the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou have been wiped out."

"His people were pursued by another barbarian tribe, and their foothold was not stable, and they originally intended to take refuge in our Ming and Goryeo, so they were defenseless against our Ming army."

"Our army beheaded their men and burned their accounts. His people were wiped out. A few people tried to escape into the mountains and forests, but they were also intercepted by our cavalry, and nothing escaped the net."

"However, although it was a surprise attack, the other side reacted quickly, and our army still had more than 800 soldiers killed and more than 1,000 wounded......

"Oh?" Lao Zhu made a surprised sound. How brave is this Jurchen? Suddenly caught off guard by an attack, he even killed and injured more than 800 people of my Ming elite.

What Lao Wu said is really right, this girl is so brave, if she is allowed to develop, she will indeed become a disaster for me in the future!

"Just in case, in the future, when the state is established, it will be necessary to plow the court and sweep the holes every few years. Daning Wei will be in charge of this matter......" Lao Zhu arranged. "You have worked hard, the military department needs to quickly draw up a reward, and the soldiers who went out on this expedition to Jurchen are all meritorious!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang He and other generals were overjoyed.

This is really a battle feat that fell from the sky and was picked up for nothing!

Lao Zhu nodded. Because of the relationship between the Fengyang project in the central capital, the imperial court is now quite wealthy. You don't have to pick and choose.

It's been too busy these days. It's late. There will be a chapter in a moment. From tomorrow onwards, I should be a little free, and I try to do my best to watch three shifts a day. Thank you, readers!
