Daming Di Newspaper——

King Yan led an army of 200,000 to conquer the Mongol Yuan in the north, broke the Tartar captives, killed the lord of the Yuan Dynasty in the chaotic battle, captured millions of cattle and sheep, captured hundreds of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and civilians, and carried heavy grain and grass, rare and exotic treasures, innumerable!

When such an explosive news appeared, the sales of Daming Di Bao once again came to an unprecedented peak.

Prior to this, the Ming Dynasty had already had several Northern Expeditions.

The first Northern Expedition, three years in Hongwu.

The reason was that Wang Baobao besieged Lanzhou.

Wang Baobao's military talent was not bad, but it was a pity that he met the wrong opponent.

Not long ago, Wang Baobao's 100,000-strong army was wiped out by Xu Da, but he was soon able to organize 100,000 horses and build a city near Lanzhou, Gansu, and confront the Ming army across the Yellow River for two years.

As a result, Xu Da was once again appointed as the chief general and was appointed as the general of the conquest and went west to Lanzhou.

Xu reached Gansu, and Wang Baobao retreated.

After that, the two sides fought a decisive battle at Shen'er Yukou.

There are no surprises.

Wang Baobao's troops were wiped out again, and only Wang Baobao led his wife and children across the Yellow River.

The Ming army pursued for hundreds of miles, but again failed to capture.

The subsequent Second Northern Expedition was originally a continuation of the unfinished business of the First Northern Expedition: to completely eliminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan.

But it backfired, and the Ming army ushered in its only defeat.

Soon the third northern expedition, this was the battle of Helin led by Mu Ying, although Mu Ying did not have the name of the general of the conquest, the soldiers and horses led by him could only be regarded as a partial division.

But the results were considerable - directly surround Helin and annihilate 10,000 enemies.

Then came the Fourth Northern Expedition, Xu Da was once again appointed as the general of the conquest, although he won the war, but his record was average.

This is the fifth northern expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

With Yan Wang Zhu Di as the general of the expedition to the North and Lan Yu as the deputy general, he led the army of 200,000 people, drove straight in, smashed the Yellow Dragon, cleaned up the old department of Mengyuan in one go, and killed the lord of the Yuan Dynasty.

Not long ago, Su Che had already received the head of the Northern Yuan Emperor Timur.

Even if the Northern Yuan Emperor Timur had only one head left, it seemed that there was still life, and his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness before he died.

In this war, the administrative system of the Yuan Dynasty completely collapsed.

After that, the Yuan Dynasty ceased to exist.

Back to its original name: Mongolia.

But

Although the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, the threat from the north did not disappear.

Without the suppression of the Yuan Dynasty, the two major tribes of Warat and Tatar will inevitably rise in the future.

The threat of the steppe is still there!

But.

After this war, the northern expedition again has changed from purging the remnants of the Northern Yuan to fighting back against those who harassed the border.

Either way, it's a big win.

With the printing and sale of the Daming Di Newspaper, the people of the whole world knew the news, whether it was in the streets and alleys, or in the fields at the head of the village, the people were discussing the process of the war with relish.

Many people just read the content of the newspaper, and they told all kinds of details vividly, as if they were there, and even added a lot of content privately.

I saw an old farmer sitting on a bench with a newspaper in one hand and a dry tobacco in the other, surrounded by a large group of children and adults.

The old peasant took a puff of dry tobacco and continued with his foam:

"That Yan King Zhu Di took the lead, holding the sword of the Son of Heaven given by the emperor today, and directly killed the forbidden area of the Northern Yuan Palace, facing the lord of the Northern Yuan!"

"Let's say that the lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Timur, before that, he was the lord of China, the emperor of the Great Yuan, the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the body of the true dragon, but he lost the country of China, and he had already faded away from the body of the true dragon and turned into the body of the evil dragon, but even so, the strength is still unimaginable!"

However, he is facing the fourth son of today's son, King Yan! King Yan of Beiping, as one of the kings of Sai, his strength should not be underestimated, and in the early years, he presided over the Ming Military Academy, and his disciples were innumerable! ”

"Isn't this King Yan a general?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but interrupt.

"You know!" The old farmer spat out a puff of smoke and said disdainfully: "Do you understand or do I understand?" Since the report of this Daming Mansion came out, the old man has seen it from the first issue and knows all about the major events in the world! ”

"When today's son thinks that Confucianism is exclusive and useless, the Song Dynasty is because of the power of the literati, which leads to cowardice to the bones! But His Majesty did not emphasize military force over literature, but established the Military Academy, the Medical College, the Agricultural College, and the Mathematics College, these four major colleges! ”

"Your excellent rice seeds were cultivated by the Agricultural College, and it can be said that it is largely due to today's work!"

"This military academy, the Son of Heaven has been handed over to King Yan to govern!"

"King Yan of Beiping, as one of His Majesty's most outstanding sons, his strength is very terrifying!"

"In that battle, King Yan and the Lord of the Northern Yuan fought for three days and three nights!"

"One side is the evil Jiao of the old dynasty, and the other side is the dragon son of the new dynasty, the strength is equal, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while!"

"At the most critical moment, it was His Majesty's Son of Heaven Sword that worked!"

"In the sword of the Son of Heaven, there was a wisp of His Majesty's divine thoughts, and at that moment, the divine thoughts revived, just by glancing at the Lord of the Northern Yuan, the terrifying aura of the true dragon, he was so frightened that he couldn't move!"

"And King Yan also seized this opportunity!"

Speaking of the critical moment, the old peasant became excited, used the cigarette stick as a sword, and stabbed directly into the void, and at the same time shouted: "Evil Jiao suffers death!" ”

"This sword directly killed the head of the Lord of the Northern Yuan! A Jiaotou has been cut off! ”

"Good!"

"Good !!"

When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but applaud and applaud.

Although I don't know how many private goods this old farmer has added privately, it is refreshing to listen to, and this is enough.

……

The Yuan Dynasty is not a distant concept for the people of the whole world, after all, only twenty years have passed, and the original events have not been completely forgotten.

No one expected that this time in the Northern Expedition, the Yuan Dynasty was completely wiped out!

And those rare treasures that were lost to the grassland have also been taken back!

Many people could not help but cry out for joy.

This war is far away from the people at the bottom, but that doesn't mean they don't feel anything.

On the contrary, all the people were happy from the bottom of their hearts for the victory of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Su Che deliberately strengthened the concept of the Chinese nation, he has done a lot of things, publicized a lot, and has policies in all aspects, and with the passage of time, he has finally achieved some results.

Many people of the Ming Dynasty regard themselves as a part of the Ming Dynasty, sharing honor and disgrace! And no more numbness!

Di Bao brought the good news of victory to the whole country, and at the same time caused a sensation in the court.

The Yuan Dynasty is not far away, many ministers came from the Yuan Dynasty, and they also served as officials of the Yuan Dynasty, after hearing the news, they were inevitably stunned for a moment, and their feelings were inexplicably complicated.

Destroying the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, although this is a good thing, it is very inappropriate to let those military generals make such a heavenly achievement, especially this credit also allows Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to go, which is easy to cause the problem of not being able to lose the tail.

Since ancient times, the vassal kings have been powerful and a serious threat to the central court.

At the beginning, Lao Zhu did not listen to the persuasion of the ministers and insisted on dividing the feudal king.

He believes that "the world is so big, it will build a feudal screen, defend the country on the top, and live on the people. ”

In ancient times, the feudal was divided into two categories according to their nature, one was the actual seal that enjoyed a "high degree of autonomy", and the other was the false seal that "ate dry rice".

The so-called actual feud means that the feudal state has some financial, personnel and military powers independent of the central government, and the princes and kings are the actual leaders of the vassal states.

The so-called false feud means that the feudal country accepts the vertical leadership of the central government, and the princes and kings do not have any power, and the feudal country is just a meal ticket for the princes and kings to eat white food.

Figuratively speaking, the princes and kings are "soil emperors" in the real seal mode, and the princes and kings are "parasites" in the virtual seal mode.

Lao Zhu didn't want the princes and kings to become parasites, so they were granted considerable autonomy, such as they all had a certain amount of military power, and each prince and king had at least three guards.

And among these sons.

There are nine "Sai kings" who are responsible for the border defense, from east to west, they are Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, Zhu Quan, King of Ning, Zhu Di, King of Yan, Zhu Lu, King of Valley, Zhu Gui, King of Jin, King Zhu Fan of Qin, King Zhu Chang of Qing, and Zhu Ao, King of Su, who directly or indirectly controlled tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

In Lao Zhu's fantasy, these Sai kings can guard the frontier and become the barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, this is just fantasy.

There was the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" before and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" after that, these are all bloody lessons, but as the saying goes: the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that it has not learned any lessons from history.

Even when Lao Zhu was dying, he left a will: "There are no ministers in the court, and there are treacherous people in it, and they will raise troops to punish them, and they will clear the king's side." ”

So much so that Zhu Di didn't even need to think about the reason for the rebellion!

This time, Zhu Di won a complete victory, and he would inevitably be rewarded lavishly, which strengthened his power even more, and the courtiers were worried, and more than one minister mentioned this matter in front of the crown prince Zhu Biao.

However, Zhu Biao didn't care at all, but was happy for Zhu Di's victory from the bottom of his heart, looking forward to seeing his younger brother.

For Zhu Biao, Zhu Di is not a threat at all.

As the second generation, most of the kings are like brothers, and Zhu Biao's authority is unmatched, so this position is naturally very stable.

The only problem is - Zhu Biao's lifespan.

If Zhu Biao dies early, then his son will obviously not be able to suppress the other vassal kings, and it will be a matter of time before the world becomes chaotic.

This is also a problem that Su Che is worried about, although with his efforts, Zhu Biao's state seems to be much better, but it is still unknown whether he can change his original fate.

As for the rebellion of the vassal king, Su Che is not worried, with him, it is impossible for the world to be chaotic, if Zhu Biao is really dead, it is impossible for him to consider a fool like Zhu Yunwen in terms of choosing an heir.

A few days later.

Outside the Heavenly Palace.

Su Che saw Zhu Di and Lan Yu, the generals of Zhengbei.

The two saw the Son of Heaven Luan, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"See Father!"

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty'!!"

The soldiers followed the half-kneeling salute, their movements were uniform, and for a time the mountains roared with a tsunami!

Su Che walked over, picked up Zhu Di and Lan Yu, and said loudly: "Hard work! ”

"Everyone, hard work!"

"You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"

With Su Che's encouragement, each of the soldiers who followed to Ying Tianfu was in high spirits.

Not everyone was eligible to come to Ying Tianfu to receive the reward from the Son of Heaven, and most of the soldiers were stationed in the frontier fortress.

Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, the legacy they left behind has not yet been enjoyed, which is the key to this war.

Most of the soldiers who came to Ying Tianfu at this moment were people who had performed well in this war.

After encouragement, Su Che looked at Zhu Di and Lan Yu to talk, and then handed over the task of rewarding Zhu Biao and asked him to reward him instead!

To a certain extent, whoever awards the reward, these soldiers will remember whom, although they followed Zhu Di and Lan Yu to make the current credit, but the person who is ultimately grateful is Zhu Biao.

Su Che pulled Zhu Di and Lan Yu to talk a lot, about this war, about the future.

Although this war was won completely and the Northern Yuan was completely wiped out, before the Ming Dynasty completely occupied Mongolia, this war was just beginning.

The Northern Yuan is gone, and there are Warats, Tatars, and even those Jurchen tribes.

Conquering all these tribes and making the grassland completely part of the Ming Dynasty is Su Che's ultimate goal!

These words made Zhu Di and Lan Yu's blood boil, they thought that after eliminating the Northern Yuan, they would have no goal in the future...... Who would have thought that His Majesty would have such a grand goal, it was they who were short-sighted!

"The future will not stop here, I will come up with some new things in the future, let you see, what is the power of innovation!" Su Che smiled faintly, not long ago, the Shang Fang department, which Su Che had spent a lot of money to get out, had already figured out a steam engine!

Agriculture, mathematics, medicine, and even military academies, Su Che can be completed by borrowing the hands of others, but Su Che is single-handedly engaged in scientific and technological research, and does not let others help preside over it, and has been secretly conducting research in private, and even few ministers know about it.

The money invested in Shang Fang is several times more than that of the four major colleges combined, but Su Che is not distressed at all, anyway, it is treasure money, print money, and release water to finish!

When Daming is stronger, it's okay to put more water - where is this?

With the investment of countless money and materials, coupled with Su Che's mind, Shang Fang gradually researched something useful.

The steam engine is one of them.

When the railroad tracks to Mongolia are paved, the steam train raises fog, and a steady stream of supplies and even soldiers are transported, then the advantage of the Mongol cavalry will become smaller and smaller.

Even in this world of immortals and demons, the power of innovation is still not to be underestimated.

……

A few days later.

Shangfang Research Department.

Zhu Di followed Su Che here, and when he saw the huge locomotive, he immediately showed a stunned expression: "Father, what is this?" ”

"This is it, steam train!" Su Che smiled faintly and said slowly.
