Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 189 This matter will be discussed again (4k)

The Battle of Mobei Lingbei is destined to go down in history.

Killed 3 enemies and captured 5 prisoners.

The Ming Dynasty achieved the greatest victory in the history of the Northern Expedition.

You know, even Xu Da has never achieved this kind of achievement.

After the relevant good news reached the capital, the whole court was shocked, and then boiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

Anyone who really understands military affairs knows that this battle has set the tone for victory in the Northern Expedition.

Wang Baobao fell, and no one in the Beiyuan general could stop the Ming Dynasty's iron army. The Ming army marched straight in, and it was just around the corner to defeat the Yuan Dynasty.

Another thing that made Zhu Yuanzhang happy was that he successfully recruited Wang Baobao.

You must know that he has always been unable to obtain talents like Wang Baobao. He once said, "Although (Chang) Yuchun is an outstanding person, I will submit to him. I cannot submit to Wang Baobao, he is a strange man."

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang also took a series of measures in order to try to recruit Wang Baobao to surrender.

Not only did he write letters of persuasion to Wang Baobao many times, but he also sent people to Henan to visit the grave of his adoptive father Li Chahan.In addition, Wang Baobao's old acquaintance Li Siqi, who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, was sent to the outside of the Great Wall to persuade Wang Baobao to surrender.

Either approach ends in failure.

If Yang Xian had not appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang had even planned to make his last move, which was to let his second son Zhu Fang marry Wang Baobao's sister, Wang Yuemin.

But now Yang Xian has done something that he has never been able to do.

It can be said that Yang Xian directly accomplished something that neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Xu Da could do this time.

After Yang Xian completely defeated the Yuan Dynasty, his achievements were so great that he was granted the title of King with a different surname.

You must know that in the original time and space, Lanyu directly worshiped the general and granted the title of Duke of Liang due to his achievements in fishing and sea.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about this matter, the second wave of great victories also came.

Mobei, Yuan Ting.

When his subordinates reported that Wang Baobao was defeated and surrendered to the Ming army in the north of Ling Dynasty, the Yuan leader was furious and scolded loudly: "Wang Baobao has 10,000+ soldiers and horses under his command. Even if it is 10,000+ steamed buns, their Ming army cannot eat them so fast. How many days have it been!”

"How is this possible?!" Yuanzhu asked.

"Your Majesty, King Qi made it very clear in the military report before that due to successive defeats, the troops and horses suffered serious losses. When he asked the court for help, he mentioned in the report that the number of troops and horses was less than 10." Ha Qizhang continued to report.

"In the battle of Lingbei, the King of Qi's troops suffered more than 3 casualties. Isolated and without support, there was no other option but to surrender."

Ha Cizhang looked heartbroken. If the leader of the Yuan Dynasty had listened to his advice and sent more troops, this outcome would not have happened now.

Now that Wang Baobao has fallen, Lingbei is lost, and the biggest barrier of the Yuan Dynasty has collapsed.

Yuan Ting was already in danger.

It could capsize at any time.

Just like what Chichaer and Wang Baobao said before, "When Emperor Zhu's army really comes, I think half of those powerful people will have to surrender to the Ming army and seek wealth elsewhere!"

At this moment, there are countless people in Yuan Ting who are secretly communicating with the Ming army to express their loyalty.

The Yuan Lord has not been able to sleep well these past few days, for fear that one night when he falls asleep, his head will be cut off and sent to the Ming army camp to be rewarded.

"Haha, why didn't they send troops over there? Is this a blatant rebellion?" When the Yuan Master thought of this, he said angrily.

Ha Cizhang opened his mouth and reported back: "According to the report from King Kaiyuan, the Ming army also had troops on the Liaodong side and stopped them."

But what's the use of saying this now.

It's over, it's over.

The Yuan Lord's whole body went limp and he fell down on the throne.

At this moment, he suddenly had a premonition in his mind that Bei Yuan was going to die in his hands.

Wang Baobao said something before, which is very correct.

Don't try to beg your neighbor, or you will die miserably.

Naha, who was in Liaodong at this time, was filled with regrets. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty.

There are still three remnant forces of the Yuan Dynasty that have not been eliminated, and these remnant forces have always been Zhu Yuanzhang's heartache.

The first and strongest force is naturally Yuan Ting.

The capital of the Yuan Dynasty was conquered, and Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty fled to Mobei, which was called the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The second force is an armed force entrenched in Yunnan by the Mongolian King Wangchan of Yunnan.

The last group is Nahachu, which occupies Liaodong.

With the city of Kaiyuan (now Kaiyuan, Liaoning Province) as the center, Naha had certain strength and territory. He was appointed prime minister by the Yuan Dynasty and was named King of Kaiyuan. He had more than 8 people under his command, and among them, there were about [-] warriors capable of fighting. About [-] people.

Now that even Wang Baobao has been defeated, once Yuan Ting is destroyed, he will be the next person to be dealt with by the Ming Dynasty.

night.

Beijing.

Kunning Palace.

In the queen's bedroom, the lights were always on.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma sat in front of the bed. In front of them was a huge map of the Ming Dynasty, with notes on some places.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's hand were pieces of paper with a personal name written on them.

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Xi.
This scene seemed familiar. It was the same when Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the country, was preparing to knight the brothers who conquered the world together.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

But when it comes to important matters, he still habitually stays with Queen Ma.

What's more, today's matter also involves family matters.

Of course, it must be agreed in advance that the only one who can make the decision is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Let Queen Ma sit next to you just for your own peace of mind.

After careful consideration by the two of them and weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pasted the notes in his hands on the map in front of him.

In the end, only a note from Zhu Di was left.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the map and pondered for a long time. He had originally posted it on the Mongolian grassland, but finally took it back and posted it again in Beiping City.

Because at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet figured out how to deal with this large piece of land in Mobei.

"How about giving Shou Qian a title? Keeping him in the palace is not an option. It can be considered as some compensation for his Wen Zheng." Queen Ma suddenly said.

After listening to Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

There was no immediate answer.

Some people may not be familiar with Zhu Shouqian, but when it comes to his father Zhu Wenzheng, those who are familiar with Ming history will definitely know it.Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and a founding hero.

Among them, the greatest achievement was that he resisted the attack of Chen Youliang's 60-strong army while sitting in an isolated city in the Hongdu Defense War, which can be called a miracle in military history.

If it weren't for Zhu Wenzheng, Chen Youliang might be the one in power today.

Later, Zhu Wenzheng was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward after the war and wanted to seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng. However, Zhu Yuanzhang found out about it and was put under house arrest, and finally died in depression.

His son Zhu Shouqian was taken directly to the palace and was raised by Queen Ma.After all, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's great-nephew.

The nine people posted on the Ming Dynasty map are all princes. Logically speaking, only princes can ennoble princes.

If Zhu Wenzheng's son is also given the title of king, it will be equivalent to opening a hole.

If he is blocked, how will Yang Xian deal with it when the time comes?

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.

"We'll discuss this matter again."

"Sleep."

After saying that, he really went to bed.

Empress Ma didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at the moment, but since it had been agreed from the beginning that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who made the decision, she stopped talking, stood up and blew out the lights.

Xiangfu.

Since the previous tax fraud case, the group of Huaixi nobles have finally been quiet for a while.

Today's Prime Minister's Mansion seems a bit deserted compared to the past.

Only Hu Weiyong came to visit him almost every day as usual.

After all, the master-disciple relationship between Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang is well known to everyone in the government and the public, so there is no need to be taboo about it.

"En Xiang, we have a great victory in the north. It seems that it is only a matter of time before we can completely defeat Yuan Ting." Hu Weiyong said.

What Hu Weiyong said is the consensus of almost all knowledgeable people.

Li Shanchang nodded slightly.

"En Xiang, aren't you anxious?" Hu Weiyong asked anxiously when he saw Li Shanchang's calm look. "At that time, when Yang Xian's squadron returns to the court, based on his achievements this time, he may even be directly crowned king. These days, this matter has been spread among ministers."

"Afraid? Is it useful to be anxious?"

Li Shanchang stretched out his hand to touch his beard and said, "How could you still fly to the Mobei grassland and directly take advantage of his achievements? This is an established fact. Let alone Yang Xian, we still have a big thing to do now. .”

"Enxiang, I wonder what the big deal is?" Hu Weiyong asked doubtfully.

"The emperor has a worry in his heart. Several princes have grown up. How to arrange them is most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty."

"The emperor mentioned the title of king several times before, but in the end he gave up on it. Why? This time he asked His Highness the Fourth Prince to accompany the army on the expedition. What do you think it is for?"

Li Shanchang asked and answered his own question: "Ever since the Han Dynasty proclaimed the king and caused the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms, this title has been a taboo. The emperor knows that as long as he mentions it, he will attract civil and military officials to oppose it. So at this time, someone needs to come out to resist the infamy. As a I am the best candidate to serve as Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province."

"Wei Yong, please make up a story for me. You have to carefully draft this story. I want to say a few words that the emperor wants to say but is unable to say."

"The Prime Minister ordered." Hu Weiyong lowered his head and said.

"The core of this memorial is to invite the emperor to attach great importance to the great cause of the Ming Dynasty and not to avoid relatives when promoting virtuous people. Immediately confer all princes as vassal kings in various places."

"Good! Enxiang is loyal to the emperor, and my subordinates admire him." Hu Weiyong praised him.

Li Shanchang is able to sit at the top of the civil service, which is why he is so awesome.

Just when the situation in Beijing was changing.

Thousands of miles away in the Mobei grassland, the second wave of victory for the Ming army came.

The Ming army's cannons directly stunned Yuanting.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the already crumbling Yuanting was directly shot down.

The fierce artillery fire caused the Yuanting nobles, who were still in a state of vacillation, to completely abandon their chances of getting lucky and go directly to Yang Xian's side.

In Yang Xian's big account, the amount of investment he received could not be contained in a big box.

What Yang Xian didn't expect was that before Yang Xian led his troops to break through the city, news came from Yuan Ting that the Yuan Lord hanged himself.

The ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty opened the city gate and tied themselves out of the city to surrender.

The truth of the matter is that the Yuan Lord died of suicide, and the ministers bribed the maids in the palace. The maids worked together to strangle the Yuan Lord alive while he was asleep.

Emperor Jiajing saw him and called him an expert.

Compared with the many battles with Wang Baobao's army, the battle to capture Yuanting not to mention casualties, not even much gunpowder was used.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty officially fell.

All the royal family also became prisoners.

Except for the Beiyuan royal family.

More than 3000 officials and generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty surrendered, including the Zhongzhengyuan, Xuanzhengyuan, Imperial Hospital, Privy Council, and Governor's Office of the Northern Yuan central government, as well as Shaanxi Province, Lingbei Province, Henan Province, and Gansu Province. There are many important officials and generals of the province, Shandong Xuanwei Division, Hedong Xuanwei Division and many other inland local institutions, including 9 kings, 4 princes and princes, 5 Taiwei, 1 Prime Minister, 13 Situ, Pingzhang, 31 Zuocheng and Youcheng, 32 political advisors and magistrates, 86 envoys, tongzhi, deputy envoys, 228 ministers and magistrates, 189 xuanwei envoys and other officials, 927 ten thousand households, Steward and so on.

Next, as long as Liaodong and Yunnan are pacified, their path to revival will be completely cut off.

Of course, this is not Yang Xian's responsibility.

The purpose of Yang Xian's trip was just to capture the Mobei Grassland.

"Every person and property will be counted and recorded, and they will be escorted back to Beijing together. Please tell the soldiers below not to bully civilians at will." Yang Xian said.

"Yes! Commander!" Chen Heng and other generals responded loudly, clasping their fists.

Yang Xian waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to perform their duties. After all, there was still a lot of aftermath work to be done.

Yang Xian was standing alone on the prairie, watching the sunset.

In his original time and space, even though technology was so advanced, it only took a few hours to fly to Inner Mongolia, but after becoming a social worker, the pressure of life made him breathless, and several plans failed to come true in the end.

Unexpectedly, this matter was completed after he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the sun was shining on Yang Xian's shoulders, and he looked so free and happy.

"It's almost time to go back." Yang Xian said.

a few days later.

Yang Xian and Zhu Di returned to Peiping with their army.

The two generals, Chen Heng and Gu Cheng, continued to lead their own troops to sweep away some small Mongolian and Yuan tribes scattered throughout Mobei.

These small tribes have almost no established fighting capacity.

It's enough to rely on them.

Even so, for the sake of safety, Yang Xian left them with 500 Shenji camp musketeers each.

The Shenji Battalion must be expanded, and the current number of people is far from meeting the needs of future wars.

After returning, Yang Xian will bring it up with Zhu Biao at a suitable time.

on the way back.

Yang Xian found that Zhu Di's temperament had become much calmer. It was obvious that this battle in Mobei had made him grow a lot.

The battlefield is indeed the best place for men to grow.

Especially the previous time he almost fell into Wang Baobao's trap. Without Yang Xian, he might have been in danger of his life.

He can be regarded as a man who has passed through the gate of hell once.

"Commander, what should we do with these prisoners of the Yuan army?" Zhu Di asked.

This is indeed a problem. Because this victory was too easy, there were actually too many captured Beiyuan soldiers.
