Chapter 330: Millennium National Destiny
The Goryeo navy celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival with great joy. Seeing so many prostitutes singing and dancing in front of them, they were so excited that their blood was boiling. If the Shandong area had not been occupied by the Tianwan army, they really wanted to go wild and commit violence on the spot.

Although it was just a one-time feast for the eyes, they still felt satisfied when they returned. Park Bu-seong, a soldier of the Goryeo Navy, rushed to the navy fleet while excitedly saying to his companions, "Ahh!

The beautiful women of Central Plains are so beautiful!
I really want Smecta! "

"Yeah! I want that too, smecta!"

Hearing his companion's frivolous response, Park Bucheng suddenly turned around in surprise and found that it was his companion who was supposed to be on duty, "Park Nanbei, shouldn't you be on duty?
How come you're going ashore to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?"

“Oh! Smecta, not needed for duty!
No one dares to attack our Goryeo fleet!" Park Nanbei shook his head disapprovingly, still immersed in the excitement of watching the float parade just now.

"Asi Bar"

Soon the commander of the Goryeo navy also learned that the soldiers on duty had left their posts without permission, but before he could angrily teach the soldiers a lesson, they were surrounded by the Cheonwan army.

Realizing that his home had been stolen, the Goryeo commander gave up resistance as if he had lost his parents and became a prisoner of the Cheonwan army.

Then Xu Shouhui asked Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian to lead 100,000 Tianwan troops, board the newly captured Goryeo fleet, and requisition all large and small civilian ships in Shandong area, and send troops to Incheon, Goryeo together.

When the Goryeo people saw their Goryeo ships, they thought that their own navy had returned, and immediately came to greet their "relatives" with food and drink.

But after the Cheonwan Army quickly landed, the Goryeo people were suddenly confused. Their "relatives" became the unfamiliar Cheonwan Army. However, the Cheonwan Army ignored the "enthusiastic" Goryeo people and instead marched directly and quickly towards Seoul.

At this time, the defenders of Seoul were basking in the sun out of boredom. The warm sunlight shining on the soldiers was so beautiful and comfortable. They felt that the Koreans were the people favored by God and could enjoy a peaceful time without worries.

"Ahh! Why are there so many people there?"

"Oh! It must be some Seoul noble who went out of town to hunt again!"

"Hmm! It's possible!
Park Kwang-dae, you are such a smart smita!"

"Haha, Yin Buju, you are also a very smart smecta!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The joy of the Seoul defenders did not last long. Soon Seoul was occupied by the Cheonwan Army. Those who were laughing just now had now become cold corpses.

After the quick and decisive Cheonwan Army entered Seoul, it immediately occupied the Goryeo royal palace and treasury, and captured the Goryeo king and his concubines. As for the Goryeo king's ministers, they were kneeling in front of the Cheonwan Army like obedient kittens.

Upon receiving the news that Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian led 100,000 Tianwan troops to occupy Goryeo, Suning of Yingtian Prefecture was also surprised. He suddenly felt that the world was so magical that the arrogant Goryeo was conquered just like that.

"Xixi, I have good news for you."

"Ah? What's the good news?"

"Korea was occupied by Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian."

"Huh? So fast!"

"Yeah! It's that fast!"

Suning knew that Goryeo was very weak at that time and had almost exhausted all its potential by the Yuan Dynasty. He just didn't expect it to be so weak.

No wonder in the history of the original time and space, the powerful Goryeo family, the Li family, was able to overthrow the Goryeo king and then set their sights on the Liaodong region of China. It turned out that the Goryeo people had placed all their hopes on expanding their territory at this time.

At this time, all the areas south of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of the Red Flag Army, but Suning was not in a hurry to proclaim himself emperor. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the Mongol army's full-scale attack on the Red Turban Army to blow up the Mongol army behind their backs.

Chang Yuchun, who was engaged in a tug-of-war with the Mongol army in Sichuan, was secretly transferred back to Yingtianfu, while Zhou Dexing temporarily took over the position of division commander to continue to contain the Mongol military forces in Sichuan.

Not only was Chang Yuchun called back with the main force, but Xu Da and the Fujian army were also secretly recalled to Yingtianfu to carry out pre-war mobilization together.

Kunming, Yunnan.

Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Li, ran into his study with a look of surprise. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing something with his three adopted sons, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Zhongba, I heard that the prince has given orders.

Are you calling us to respond to Tianfu?"

"Mother!" Zhu Wenzhen, Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying hurriedly saluted Li.

"Well! No need to be so polite!" Li smiled at her three adopted sons, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again with expectation.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his wife, Li, was thinking about her relatives in Yingtian Prefecture. He then exchanged a glance with the military supervisor, Xie Jinzhong, and explained to Li, "That's right! The prince is here to give orders.

But he didn't call me back, but gave me a map of the Southeast Peninsula and asked me to lead the army to attack the Southeast Peninsula."

"Ah? How could this happen?"

"Hey! I don't know what's going on.

Maybe the prince values the Southeast Peninsula very much!"

"It shouldn't be!
My father wrote to me saying that Yingtian Prefecture has been planning a major Northern Expedition recently, and even Chang Yuchun and Xu Da have been secretly transferred back. There's no reason not to let you go back too!

"This..." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to answer his wife's question.

"Commander, the prince intends to establish military regions across the country. You are likely to become the commander of the Southwest Military Region. Then you will be a real frontier official.

So there's no need for you to participate in this Northern Expedition. After all, conquering the Southeast Peninsula is also very important." Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face full of regret, the military supervisor Xie Jinzhong explained with a smile.

"Thank you, General Supervisor, I understand everything you said.

But I really want to participate in this Northern Expedition. This has almost become the obsession of all the generals of the Red Flag Army."

“Yeah! I understand!

If you, Commander, really want to participate in this Northern Expedition, there are ways to do it."

"Oh? Thank you, General Supervisor. How can you teach me?"

"Haha, Master, you are the one who is most confused!
In fact, you can leave the battle in the southwest to your adopted sons Zhu Wenzhen and Li Wenzhong. You can ask the prince to allow Tianfu to participate in the Northern Expedition. " "Haha, yes!

I will write an application now. I must participate in this Northern Expedition."

Chagan Temur's military force was really fierce. As soon as he took office, he ignored the opposition and appointed his adopted son, who was also his nephew Wang Baobao. Together, the father and son led 400,000 Mongolian troops to attack the Red Turban Army.

Faced with the elite troops and generals of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army soon revealed serious shortcomings, and was defeated by the Mongols in Fengxiang before long. Then they retreated all the way to Henan in a crushing defeat.

Seeing how powerful Chagan Temur and Wang Baobao were, the Yuan Emperor threw away all the memorials impeaching them and once again organized an army of 200,000 to serve Chagan Temur and Wang Baobao.

At this time, Yingtian Prefecture was like a high-speed weapon, constantly mobilizing all the military forces in half of Jiangnan, trying to defeat all the Mongol armies in one go.

Looking at the conference room filled with generals, Su Ning suddenly felt a surge of power. "Everyone, the latest news is that after the Red Turban Army was defeated in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, they have retreated to the Henan region. The 600,000-strong army led by Chagan Temur and Wang Baobao, father and son, is heading straight for Henan."

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the vanguard of the Red Flag Army to attack the rear of the Mongol army." Mao Gui stood up excitedly at the first moment.

"Yes! This king also intends to march from Hubei towards Nanyang and complete the task of exploding the anus of the Mongol army.

It’s just that this time the Northern Expedition against the Mongols was easy, but dealing with the aftermath and subsequent issues was very troublesome.”

"Ah?" All the generals showed puzzled expressions and looked at the Ming Wang Suning in front of them.

"Come! Let's take a look at this map first!" Suning asked someone to bring up the map carefully made by Liu, which was more standard than the map used in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Everyone had never seen such a clear map before, and they immediately focused their attention on the map, "Your Highness, this map is so clear!"

"Ah! That's not the point.

The point is that whether we advance from Nanyang or cooperate with the navy to land in Tianjin from Shandong, it is easy to drive out the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, but we cannot completely eliminate them."

"Ah? So what?
As long as we can drive them away, that's all that matters!" Chang Yuchun didn't quite understand what Su Ning meant.

"Your Highness, do you mean that even if we drive away the Mongol army, they will still be a major concern for us, and we will still be engaged in an endless tug-of-war with the Mongol army on the border?" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Su Ning meant, and could not help but widen his eyes and speak out his thoughts.

"Yes! That's right! That's exactly what I meant." Su Ning looked at Zhu Chongba with a smile, then looked at everyone again, "You are all talents of our China. Today's meeting is very important. It almost concerns the fate of our China for a thousand years."

When everyone present took it seriously, Suning said again in a firm tone, "Everyone must be curious, why do I always mention China when I speak?
That's because I am a nationalist. Our Chinese nation is not only composed of the Han people, but also includes compatriots from other ethnic minorities.

What we should strive for first is the national living environment, not personal gains."

"How long can a person live? Sixty years, or a hundred years?

That's just a drop in the ocean!
Therefore, our generation must strive for more living space for our Chinese nation and future generations."

“Hey! Maybe you don’t understand this right now, but we can take it slowly.

When you realize how big this world is, you will understand what I mean. ” Looking at everyone’s confused expressions, Su Ning was actually a little helpless. He knew that saying this now was indeed a bit “out of scope”. “Now let’s get back to the topic.

I can responsibly tell you that the Mongols are already rotten to the core. As soon as our million-strong Red Banner Army begins its Northern Expedition, the first thing the Mongol nobles will think of is how to escape."

"Everyone, just imagine, we have driven the Mongol forces out of the Great Wall. What should we do next?"

"Huh? Your Highness, why don't we just continue attacking the heartland of the Mongols?" Chang Yuchun still looked at Su Ning with some confusion.

"Your Highness, do you mean to say that you are worried that we won't be able to completely eliminate the Mongol forces, and once they retreat beyond the Great Wall, they will tie up all our energy?" This is what Liu Bowen understood Su Ning's meaning.

"Right!" Suning recalled the Ming Dynasty's history of the emperor guarding the country's borders and the emperor dying for the country. Isn't that the three hundred years of struggle between the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty? "As long as the Mongol army retreats to the grasslands, we will inevitably be plunged into endless border wars."

It was not until then that everyone understood what Suning meant, and then they all stared at the map seriously, feeling more and more that Suning's considerations were far-reaching, and they all agreed with Suning's concerns in their hearts.

Looking at the people who began to think seriously, Suning showed a satisfied smile. As long as these Chinese people in the late Yuan Dynasty began to think about the topic of national destiny, Suning would have achieved his biggest goal.

China has produced many outstanding people throughout the ages, but due to their lack of vision, they all ended up self-destructing, which made later generations think it was a pity. If they had continued to consider the future of the nation, there would not have been a century of humiliation in later generations.

"Your Highness, I think we can adopt the strategy of fighting but not annihilating. We should not attack Dadu and the Mongol Yuan heartland in Shaanxi, so as not to force them back to the grassland. Then, we can use a tug-of-war to consume the Mongol Yuan's strength." Liu Bowen's eyes lit up at this moment, and he expressed his opinion.

"Yes! That's right!" Su Ning nodded with a smile, and then continued to explain, "This is also the reason why I appointed so many former Mongol officials. I want to try to use the method of persuading them to surrender and continue to use these Mongol generals and officials. When they no longer have the Yuan emperor above them, they will still consider themselves part of China."

"This is difficult!"

“Haha, yes! It’s difficult!
But we have to do it, because this is the mission of our generation." Suning looked at everyone with a firm gaze, "We must have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains. If this generation cannot accomplish it, then let the next generation continue.

If a hundred years isn't enough, then two hundred years, a thousand years!"

At this time, everyone was shocked by Suning's momentum. It was the first time they knew that King Ming Suning had such lofty ambitions, and they also heard that King Ming Suning had planned a huge millennium goal for them.

"Those who love war will surely perish!" Even though the voice was barely audible, Su Ning still recognized it as Song Lian.

"Yes! War will lead to destruction!
But if we don't fight, we will kill each other! " Suning has been avoiding this sensitive topic, but he has to face it, just to make the arrogant soldiers and ministers in front of him sober up.

"what?"

Everyone understood what Su Ning meant, and they all looked at him in shock and fear, including the "wise monster" Liu Bowen and the "true dragon" Zhu Yuanzhang, neither of whom could hide the greatest fear in their hearts.

This topic is really too sensitive. No matter whether it is the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor Wu, or the Tang Emperor and Song Emperor Taizu, they could not avoid the issue of dealing with meritorious officials. I didn't expect that Su Ning would say it in public, and these people will definitely be liquidated by him in the future.

"Ever since the Red Flag Army occupied the entire Jiangnan area, I heard some people instigating me to become emperor, because only if I become emperor can I confer titles on my ministers, and some people even want to be crowned kings." Su Ning suddenly looked at everyone present with a cold expression.

Meeting Su Ning's cold eyes, everyone lowered their heads unconsciously. Almost all of them had selfish motives. Civil officials like Li Shanchang wanted to become the prime minister, while military generals like Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da also wanted to be crowned kings. Even a small character like Zhou Dexing hoped to be crowned a marquis and become a prime minister one day.

How could Suning satisfy their desires? It would only gradually increase the contradictions between the two sides, and eventually lead to a massacre like Zhu Yuanzhang in the original time and space history. However, Suning really did not want to do that.

"Someone! Bring up another map!"

"Yes! Your Highness!" Soon someone presented another larger map.

In front of everyone at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Suning opened another map he and his wife Liu had made by hand - a world map. It was also the first time that the entire world was clearly presented to everyone at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
