Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 283 Great victory in Northern Xinjiang! Ouyang Lun wants to make war fortune? (Please subscribe!!)

After hearing Lu Chang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down.

"Your Majesty, please express your condolences!"

"Consort Ouyang died for the country, which is indeed a loss for our Ming Dynasty, but the most important thing now is to stop the attack of the Bei Yuan army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and silently sat back on the dragon chair, his whole person becoming a little decadent.

He wanted to kill Ouyang Lun many times, but when he heard the news that Ouyang Lun was dead, he felt very disappointed in his heart!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang in such a state, the officials could only look at each other and look at each other.

Just when they were about to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang.

Another messenger rushed in.

"Report!"

"Northern Xinjiang Great Victory!"

brush!

Upon hearing the news, all the officials looked at the messenger soldiers who had just ran in, and immediately surrounded them.

"Tell me quickly, was it Duke Wei who defeated Wang Baobao's army?"

"Did you capture Wang Baobao alive?"

"Has the Great Wall been breached by the Beiyuan army?"

The madness of the officials shocked the messenger soldier who had just come in. However, this messenger soldier was also an old man and acted relatively calmly. He went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt down in front of him.

"Your Majesty, a great victory in Northern Xinjiang. Under the command of Ouyang Prince Consort, the Chita tribe defeated a large number with a small number, and defeated a hundred thousand troops composed of the three tribes of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu!!"

Um! ?

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Listening to what you said, doesn't it mean that Ouyang Lun is still alive? He was not killed by the Beiyuan people?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang is very safe. He rushed back to Beiping City early the next morning, and immediately began to command the officials throughout Beizhili to inform the people of the situation, appease the people, etc. Now, under the command of Prince Consort Ouyang, the entire Beizhili Everyone has already taken action."

"In order to better support the front line, Prince Consort Ouyang specially asked the people to donate money and prepare supplies."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled and nodded, "This Ouyang Lun is quite good! He knows how to appease the people at the first opportunity, and he also knows how to support the front line."

But the next second, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, "Wait a minute, I can understand appeasing the people and preparing supplies, but what I can't understand is why the people still need to donate money?"

"Don't you think this is more like taking advantage of the outbreak of war to make money wantonly!!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to mention it. Other ministers also thought of this, but they were afraid of Ouyang Lun's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind and did not speak first.

But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, other officials began to express their opinions one after another.

"It does look a bit like it!"

"Logically speaking, even if there is a war, military expenses will naturally be provided. Unless there is special need, additional money is not allowed to be collected from the people."

"In my opinion, Prince Consort Ouyang's behavior is extremely inappropriate. If not handled properly, it is likely to cause a civil commotion!!"

boom!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case hard.

"Ouyang Lun is so brave, he dares to make war fortune so blatantly!"

"I will never spare him!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roar, the officials looked a little complicated. A second ago, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was heartbroken because of Ouyang Lun's death, now turned into shouting to kill and scrape Ouyang Lun.

This attitude changes so quickly, it is simply amazing!

"Go on and tell me how Ouyang Lu searched for money! Tell me everything!"

"Yes." The messenger dared to refuse, and immediately said: "Ouyang Prince Consort asked all states and governments to send notices, saying that the war is coming, so that everyone with money can participate in the battle and contribute with force to protect the home and the country. Everyone has a responsibility. !”

Hearing this, everyone in Tai Chi Hall was stunned.

Ouyang Lun's operation was an eye-opener.

This is totally a war profiteer!

After hearing the news, Guo Zi, the Minister of Household Affairs, also became nervous for Ouyang Lun and secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon throne.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and frightened, his fists clenched and his teeth gritted.

How long has it been since Ouyang Lun, this bastard, still wants to get rich!

Why didn't he die in the Chita tribe?

"Asshole! Bei Yuan's 500,000-strong army is approaching the city, and he dares to do this. I don't know what else is going on!!"

"Bastard bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him directly in front of all the civil and military officials of Tai Chi Hall!

If you say turn your face, turn your face.

"Your Majesty! What Consort Ouyang did is simply audacious!"

"We must be severely punished! To set an example!"

A Huaixi Party official said.

As soon as these words came out, other Huaixi officials and neutral officials also spoke one after another.

Seeing that most officials had the same attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry, and his anger towards Ouyang Lun reached the extreme.

"I plan to send people to North Zhili to severely punish Ouyang Lun. Is your beloved willing to take action!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, but the Tai Chi Hall was extremely quiet.

The officials who had previously shouted that Ouyang Lun would be severely punished now all had their heads hanging down. No one wanted to go to Beizhili.

Only a fool would go to Beizhili as an imperial envoy!

In the past two years, no one who went to Beizhili as an imperial envoy or was appointed by the emperor had a good ending.

He was either humiliated, beaten, or even almost burned to death. The most terrifying thing is Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, who has not been found yet.

If this is just the case, forget it. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty can always find someone who is not afraid of death. The key is that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Ouyang Lun is up and down, and he may not want to kill him after a while. Then they go to Beizhili. Embarrassment and self-disgrace.

The lessons learned from the past are vivid.

Naturally, no official wanted to take over this job.

Seeing that no one took over, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the Beiyuan army is now watching outside the Great Wall. Why don't we put this matter aside for now and wait until the Beiyuan army is defeated, then discuss the merits and demerits?"

Wu Jingzhi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, suggested.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and realized that this was a good solution, so he nodded, "According to what Wu Aiqing said, Ouyang Lun will not be held accountable for the time being. After this battle, we will all settle the matter!"

At this moment, another urgent report came.

"The chief envoy of Shanxi reported urgently that four days ago, Wang Baobao of the Northern Yuan Dynasty led an army of 400,000 to break through the Huyukou Great Wall Pass in Shanxi!"

Boom! !

After hearing this news.

Everyone present, including Zhu Yuanzhang, felt their heads buzzing.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "Huyukou was breached by Wang Baobao!!"

The Minister of War said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Huyukou is an important pass of the Great Wall in Shanxi. Once the Beiyuan army opens a gap there, they can bypass the Great Wall in North Zhili and attack Beiping City to the east. To the east, we can capture the entire territory of Shanxi, and then attack Henan. We can reach the capital in less than a month!" 　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

Upon hearing this analysis from the Minister of War, all the officials on site took a deep breath.

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case heavily.

"What are the Shanxi chief envoy and the capital commander doing! They actually let the Beiyuan army break through like this! I want to kill them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's roar resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to blame. As far as the city knows, the renovation of the Great Wall this time only repaired the area in Beizhili, while the Great Wall in Shanxi has not been repaired. Wang Baobao probably took advantage of this and was willing to do it for dozens of years. The army of ten thousand changed its target and marched thousands of miles to attack Huyukou, Shanxi Province."

"Perhaps this is Wang Baobao's conspiracy. He had already planned to attack Huyukou, but he deliberately went to Xifengkou and feinted a shot!!"

"This is indeed Wang Baobao's method."

The ministers talked a lot.

The Huyu Pass in Shanxi was suddenly breached, rendering the new and indestructible Great Wall useless in an instant.

This is something no one thought of.

If Wang Baobao were to attack from the North Zhili direction, relying on the strength of the new Great Wall, there would be a 70% to 80% chance of blocking the attack, not to mention 100%.

But now the situation is different. Wang Baobao detoured to Shanxi and captured Huyukou. The new Great Wall instantly became a decoration.

If it is not handled properly, Ming Dynasty will suffer huge losses this time.

"With the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people and such a cunning attack, Beiyuan is obviously well prepared this time!"

"Actually, I have always been wondering why the Beiyuan Royal Court made such a big move to repair the Great Wall and win over the Chita tribe. Now that I think about it, it's not that they didn't respond, but they were silently accumulating strength in order to provide Our fatal blow!"

"A total of 400,000 troops, they are like a plague of locusts all over the sky. Wherever they pass, life is devastated and no grass grows!"

"The most dangerous thing now is Beiping Mansion. As the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, Beiping has a very special meaning for Bei Yuan. The Bei Yuan army will definitely attack with all its strength!"

"The problem is that there are only 300,000 Ming troops in Northern Zhili. Originally, they could still resist one or two with the Great Wall, but now that the Great Wall is no longer a barrier, the defense of the Great Wall cannot be completely abandoned. Each state capital also needs to send troops to guard it. The troops that can be mobilized, in addition to the 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, can be mobilized at most 50,000 more."

"150,000 people versus 400,000 people. The probability of winning is less than 10%."

Listen to the officials talking about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang gradually calmed down from the anger he had just heard the news.

It is true that Wang Baobao attacked him and Daming by surprise this time, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that if he wanted to solve the problem, anger and roaring alone would not work.

"Since Wang Baobao has broken the Great Wall, Peiping will be his next target!"

"But with Wang Baobao's methods, it will definitely not be that simple."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then raised his head, "Beiping must be saved. Shanxi's soldiers and horses cannot be moved. We must prevent Wang Baobao from giving up attacking Peiping and directly attack the capital. We must also prevent Wang Baobao from dividing his troops and wreaking havoc in Shanxi."

"Transfer an order, with Feng Sheng as the chief general and Lan Yu and Fu Youde as the left and right deputy generals, lead the 300,000 troops from Henan, Shandong and Nanzhili to the north to rescue Peiping!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Song Guogong Feng Sheng immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty Feng Sheng accepts the order!"

The opportunity has finally come!

The last expedition to Yunnan was originally a good opportunity, but it turned out to be a bummer, and the King of Yan, Zhu Di, got a big advantage.

As a result, the Huaixi Party fell silent for a long time, and Li Shanchang had to take the Huaixi Party members to the four southern provinces to work hard.

But the war is coming!

Wang Baobao broke the Great Wall and Peking was in danger!

Xu Da, Tang He, and Ouyang Lun couldn't handle it!

His Majesty finally thought of the Huaixi Party.

Ninety percent of the Ming Dynasty generals who could fight were from the Huaixi Party.

"The matter is urgent. Feng Sheng, you lead the troops to Beizhili first. Lan Yu and Fu Youde followed Li Shanchang to the four southern provinces. Immediately fly a pigeon to send a message, asking them to leave immediately to join you."

"Don't let me down this time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely defeat the Beiyuan army this time and capture Wang Baobao alive! I will never let him escape again!"

Feng Sheng kowtowed and accepted the order.

"Guo Zi."

"The minister is here."

"Your household department must not slack off in the logistics supply of the army. Now that the Ming Dynasty's treasury is abundant, we can also fight with a surplus!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My dear friends, everything from now on will focus on war, and everyone should perform their duties!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and muttered, "Now it's time to see if Ouyang Lun and the others can withstand it."

North Zhili.

Chief Secretary Yamen.

"Son-in-law Ouyang Xian, the problem is huge now!"

"Wang Baobao didn't attack from Xifengkou. He actually broke through the Huyu Pass in Shanxi. After entering the pass, Wang Baobao sent 50,000 men to attack Shanxi, and the remaining 350,000 went straight to Peiping."

"There is still a hundred thousand troops from the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall, and Lao San still has to be on guard. At most, he can mobilize 50,000 troops to support Peiping."

"Hey--"

Tang He walked around in front of Ouyang Lun with his hands behind his back and his head lowered with a sad look on his face.

"My father-in-law, please stop hanging around in front of me, I'm almost dizzy from the shaking!"

Ouyang Lun said angrily.

"Then what are you trying to do?"

Tang He said anxiously: "Lao San and I have been discussing for a long time but still can't think of a good response. Now I can only count on you."

"Soldiers have come to block water and earth to cover up. Now we have nearly a million armies from both sides fighting each other. What we are fighting for is logistics, and we are also fighting for patience. Whoever can't support the logistics first, whoever loses patience first, will lose!" Ouyang Lun analyzed. : "So, second uncle, it's useless for you to be anxious now."

"It's better to wait and see what news there is from the capital."

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Tang He calmed down a little, "Xianxian, you are right. Calculating the time, the capital should have already received the situation in Northern Xinjiang. It is estimated that the court's arrangements are on the way by now."

The voice just fell.

The messenger ran in.

"Report! The imperial court has ordered that with Song Guogong Feng Sheng as the commander-in-chief, Yongchang Hou Lanyu and Yingchuan Hou Fu Youde as the left and right lieutenants, an army of 300,000 people will be assembled to attack in three directions!"

Hearing this, Tang He quickly asked: "What are the three specific routes?"

The messenger replied: "The Marquis of Yingchuan, Youde, commanded 50,000 people along the way, and entered Shanxi from Henan, repelling the enemies of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Shanxi, and regained Huyu Pass, cutting off the retreat of Wang Baobao's army. The Marquis of Yongchang, Lan Yu, commanded 50,000 people. Support Shanhaiguan and prevent Beiyuan's third army from attacking Shanhaiguan."

"Coach Feng Sheng brought the remaining 200,000 troops to support Peiping!"

"So as long as we in Peiping can hold on until reinforcements arrive, we can win this battle!" Tang He said excitedly.
