First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao led Liu Jin and others back to Chengqian Palace, Zhu Biao stopped suddenly in front of the door, and told Liu Jin who was beside him: Go and invite my cousin to the East Palace tomorrow.

After Liu Jin bowed and agreed, Zhu Biao stepped into his residence, and was served by a group of people, lying refreshed under the golden silk brocade quilt. Four young eunuchs stood guard at the door, and someone would come in to serve him when he coughed at night.

The next morning, Zhu Biao got up and put on a red panlong narrow-sleeved robe, a black gauze wing crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and white jade boots under his feet.

Getting up in good spirits, he went to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace and picked up a book to read for a while. After the court meeting, Liu Jin led a tall man in.

Zhu Biao stood up with a smile, and the visitor hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands: My minister, Li Wenzhong, sees the prince!

Zhu Biao came out from behind the desk, stretched out his hand and pulled him up: Brother is too polite, please sit down.

After he sat down politely, Zhu Biao returned to his seat and said sincerely: Yesterday, I discussed it with my father. I plan to go out with the army next year. This time I specially invite my brother to ask for advice.

Li Wenzhong frowned and said with concern: Prince, what status are you, how can you take such a big risk, this battlefield is dangerous, and victory or defeat is unpredictable!

Holding a white tiger pendant in his hand, Zhu Biao said: I grew up in the mansion since I was a child, but I also know how fierce the military situation is, but I have thought about it. I think my brother will also lead the army next year, so please give me some pointers.

Li Wenzhong stood up and said in a deep voice: Your Highness, you must know that I can be defeated as a general, but you, as the crown prince, must never be defeated.

Otherwise, your reputation will be severely damaged irreparably. Yu Gongchen is your subject, and Yu private minister is your cousin. So I dare you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please think about it.

Zhu Biao also got up and said softly: My brother said that I will keep it in mind, but I have thought about this matter, and my father also agreed.

As soon as Li Wenzhong heard it, he understood that this was for the prince to make military achievements, and his uncle must be very sure that he would send his prince to the battlefield.

Seeing the momentum, Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Wenzhong to sit him down: Doctor Rong Lu is the leader of all generals who has been praised by His Majesty for being brave and good at fighting, and he is also a relative of His Highness, so the Crown Prince specially let him sit down. The servant girl invited you to discuss it.

Li Wenzhong also took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, cupped his hands to Zhu Biao above, and said, Since the crown prince has made up his mind, then I, Li Wenzhong, should lead the horse and hold the whip for Your Highness to use to death!

Zhu Biao chatted with him about military affairs after a few polite words. Li Wenzhong had also fought for many years, and he was still a relative.

Not long after, officials from the Ministry of War sent a report on the Northern Expedition, which also included the Northern Expedition's demand for supplies.

Zhu Biao opened it, and there was a note from Lao Zhu inside: Think carefully, the most important thing in the army is the logistics supply. If the supply is not stable, how to stabilize the morale of the army and how to let the soldiers fight with peace of mind.

Several chiefs of the Ministry of War stood respectfully at the base, quietly waiting for the prince's inquiry.

From this day on, Zhu Biao was invited to practice riding and archery every morning. After two hours, he began to deal with the logistics supplies of the Northern Expedition with the people in the Ministry of War. In the afternoon, various generals who stayed in Yingtianfu came to tell him about the military system rules.

In the seventh month of the first year of Hongwu (1368), Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the Mabu boat division from Linqing to the north along the canal, and even went down to Dezhou and Tongzhou. Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Kaiping, Shangdu with his concubine and prince.

On August 2, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun captured Dadu in one fell swoop and changed it to Beiping Mansion.

The Mongolian rule in the Central Plains ended, and the Ming Dynasty gained the right to rule the area within the Great Wall!

The army of the Northern Expedition was like a rainbow, ready to take back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun that had been lost for more than 400 years.

But Xu Da and Chang Yuchun directly received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, except for the necessary stay behind, so the general must not continue to pursue! Immediately set off and return to the court.

Although they all want to continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle, but the emperor's order has been issued, naturally no one dares to play something that will not be tolerated by the order of the emperor outside. The lesson from ancient times is that most of those who dare to play this hand will not end well.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun naturally didn't dare, and Chang Yuchun had already received Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter, and he wanted the teacher to return to the court more urgently than anyone else.

Since the two big men in the military are willing to return to the court, the people below naturally have no right to have any objections.

After Zhu Biao heard the news, his face turned red with excitement! This is really a bit shameless, it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang wants his son to retake the sixteen states of Yanyun that have been lost for four hundred years, and make this great achievement.

Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the later Jin Dynasty, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and asked Khitan for help. Khitan sent troops to support it and established the Later Jin Dynasty. Liao Taizong and Shi Jingtang were father and son.

In the third year of Tianfu, Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Qidan according to Qidan's request, which expanded the territory of the Liao Kingdom to the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were unable to fully recover it.

The strategic significance of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun made the regime of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Central Plains feel threatened for more than 160 years. Once the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were lost, the northern frontier defense was almost impossible to defend. , You can drink horses in the Yellow River day and night.

Because of this, the ceding of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures became a major event that affected China's political structure and historical process. In the following four hundred years, the recovery of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures became the dream of every Han dynasty.

Even if Zhu Biao is not a prince, but just a general, his meritorious service in recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is enough to be famous in history, and it is trivial to confer a title because of his meritorious service.

After Zhu Biao calmed down, he thought about the impact of this. After all, in history, the army of the Northern Expedition took back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one go. hands.

It seems that it is impossible to procrastinate on the matter of ennobling the knighthood any longer. For the generals of the Northern Expedition to spit out such a big mouthful of meat, there must be some compensation.

Thinking that this time Zhu Yuanzhang will reward the generals of the Northern Expedition! Shut their mouths with titles.

This is politics, and mutual compromise can make the dynasty go further. Otherwise, what good is it to make them fight?

As long as you don't want to kill, you can only appease them, otherwise what should they do if they get angry? They don't feel sorry for the imperial court, how did they get there.
