Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 111 Yingtian! Let’s discuss Zhu Ying’s achievements again!
Hear what Zhu Biao said!

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

"The prince is right."

"This time."

"Lan Yu's mistakes caused heavy casualties among our Ming soldiers."

"He will be temporarily punished with a one-year salary. As for the subsequent punishment, it depends on whether Lan Yu can make meritorious contributions on the Liaodong battlefield." Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

"Father, the Holy Ming."

Zhu Biao immediately agreed.

I also feel a sense of relief in my heart.

Huaixi.

Although he was domineering, he had a close relationship with Zhu Biao. If Lan Yu was really severely punished this time, he, as the crown prince, would feel embarrassed.

After all, the expedition to Liaodong was agreed.

In terms of selecting generals, Lan Yu and Fu Youde were both recommended by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had to take this into consideration as well.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

The impeachment censors in the court also echoed him.

The goal of punishing Lan Yu has been achieved, so they are naturally satisfied.

After all, it is impossible to kill Lan Yu directly by relying on this defeat on the battlefield.

After all, what Zhu Biao said made sense. If the general who commanded the troops was severely punished because of this incident, no one in the court would dare to appoint a general to command the troops in the future.

"Father."

"From the urgent report submitted by General Feng Sheng."

"Zhu Ying played an indispensable role in breaking Nahachu's encirclement and annihilation plan this time." Zhu Biao raised his head and said with great emotion.

Although it was just an urgent report, it was submitted in writing.

But this was written by Feng Sheng himself, reporting the urgency of the battle in Tieling and many other situations.

"Use the entire city of Tieling as bait. Once the main force has entered the city, burn it down. The Yuan army ambushed outside the city will then surround the entire city and attack Lan Yu's rear."

"Nahachu's strategy is worthy of his belief that it can turn defeat into victory."

"This strategy is indeed superior."

"If there were no Daning border troops, there would be no Zhu Ying's assistance."

"Lan Yu will be completely annihilated."

"Nahachi's army will definitely counterattack the cities in Liaodong captured by the Ming Dynasty, and even attack our Daning Prefecture." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a somewhat relieved tone.

With his strategic vision, he could naturally see that if Nahachu's strategy really succeeded, the situation in Liaodong would inevitably be reversed.

"Father."

"This strategy is a desperate move by Nahachu. He wants to survive in a desperate situation."

"But I didn't expect that after all the calculations, I had overlooked the Daning Border Army."

"This battle is over."

"Nahha was defeated."

"His army of 150,000 men lost over 100,000 men, and this was the last of his forces."

"Although the Ming Dynasty also suffered tens of thousands of casualties in Tieling, compared to Nahachu, our losses were smaller. Moreover, after this battle, Nahachu will no longer be able to resist the Ming Dynasty's offensive."

"This achievement should belong to Zhu Ying and the Daning border army." Zhu Biao smiled and said loudly.

"The prince is right."

"The credit for this battle must go to Zhu Ying and the soldiers of the Daning border army under his command." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

"Zhu Ying."

"This kid actually surprised me."

"At the beginning of the army's attack on Tieling, Zhu Ying suspected that the Yuan army might set an ambush in Tieling based on the situation of the Yuan army garrison in the city. He even sent someone to remind Lan Yu to be cautious, but Lan Yu did not listen."

“That’s why Tieling was almost annihilated.”

"Zhu Ying."

"He is indeed a talented general of our Ming Dynasty. The prince promised him the title of champion in the past, and it was true." Zhu Yuanzhang praised with a big laugh.

You can tell.

He was really satisfied with Zhu Yingzhen.

As the emperor who was in charge of the entire Ming Empire, Zhu Yuanzhang built it from scratch, so he naturally had a strong strategic vision.

Zhu Ying turned the tide in the battle of Tieling.

"Father."

"Zhu Ying performed a great deed this time. He not only saved the lives of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Yuan army, leaving Nahachu with no chance to rebel against the Ming."

"Deserves a heavy reward."

Zhu Biao immediately asked for a reward for Zhu Ying.

"The prince is right."

"but……"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little thoughtful.

After a moment of reflection.

"After the battle of Tieling, Nahachu was no longer able to resist the Ming Dynasty."

"Liaodong will be recovered."

"We think we should wait until Liaodong is completely pacified before rewarding Zhu Ying for his merits."

"We can reward them together when the time comes." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Hear this!

Zhu Biao also nodded: "Father, your majesty is wise!"

"but."

"Zhu Ying's achievements deserve encouragement."

"The achievements of the Daning border troops should be further encouraged."

"Preach our will."

"In the Battle of Tieling, the soldiers of Daning worked hard and made great contributions."

"Encourage Bu Wan, the acting commander of Daning, and reward him with a hundred gold coins."

"Other."

"All officers and soldiers of the Daning border army will be promoted as soon as possible according to their merits in killing the enemy."

"of course."

"Also, Zhu Ying, send him a separate imperial edict to encourage him and praise him highly."

"Prince."

"Just draft these two imperial edicts." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"My son, I accept the decree."

Zhu Biao gladly accepted the order.

"All right."

"Do you have anything else to report?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked towards the court.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"In this battle at Tieling, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were killed or wounded. After the battle is over and the roster is compiled, the Ming Dynasty may have to pay a large amount of compensation."

"This matter still needs the Emperor's decision."

Tang Duo stood up and started speaking loudly.

"Zhao Mian."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at the Minister of Revenue.

"emperor."

"The Liaodong conquest war has been going on for more than half a year. Countless money and food are consumed every day. When the war is over, there may not be much left in the national treasury." Zhao Mian immediately stood up and said.

"Apart from reserves for natural disasters, the rest must be used to support the compensation of casualties."

"This is the first priority." Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.

"I obey your order." Zhao Mian accepted the order respectfully.

"All right."

"Prince."

"Another imperial decree will be sent to Feng Sheng, along with the punishment for Lan Yu."

"Liaodong will be settled soon, and everything will proceed smoothly."

"Nahachu, if you can capture him, capture him; if you can't, kill him."

"This time, we don't have to live." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

The old days.

During a major battle during the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, Nahachu had actually been captured by the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to win over the hearts and minds of the people, so he released Nahachu back to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. As a result, he became the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and allowed Nahachu to take root in Liaodong and become a hidden danger to the Ming Dynasty.

So this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang would certainly not show any mercy.

……

Liaodong, Liaoyang!
Above the city gate.

Nahachu stood on it and looked at the front of the city.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed forward.

Nahachu's face also looked very ugly.

"The day has finally arrived."

"Mingqi."

"Daning."

"It seems that the Ming general leading the charge, riding a black Ferghana horse, is Zhu Ying."

Nahachu stared and murmured.

"General."

"Now we have as many as 100,000 soldiers in Liaoyang City."

"Even if Liaodong is about to fall, our army will bite off a piece of the Ming army's flesh."

"We will perish together with the Ming army."

Hong Baobao on the side said coldly, with a resolute tone in his voice.

"Gao Li, is there any news?"

Nahachu looked at the boy beside him and asked.

"Reply to the commander."

"The King of Goryeo has issued an order, ordering General Lee Seong-gye to lead an army of 100,000 to aid Liaodong."

“It’s on the way now.”

"As long as we hold on to Liaoyang, there may be a turning point once the 100,000-strong Goryeo army arrives." Guan Tong replied immediately.

"A Goryeo army of 100,000."

"Their fighting power is even inferior to that of the Jiannu."

"It is better to hope that the Emperor Ming will die suddenly and retreat than to pin your hopes on them." Nahachu said sarcastically.

Obviously.

Nahachu did not have much hope that Goryeo would come to his aid and resolve the crisis.

After the battle of Tieling.

The only chance to turn defeat into victory was lost.

Nahachu's heart was already filled with pessimism.

If Nahachu had not been too embarrassed to go back and meet Emperor Yuan, he might have abandoned Liaoyang City and fled.

But in the end.

Nahachu could not do such a thing.

Once you escape back.

Not only did he lose his position as Grand Marshal, he was even ostracized by the powerful officials in the Yuan court, and even the loyalty and righteousness he had built up over the years was gone.

so.

For the sake of his own reputation and even more so for his family, Nahachu could not escape.

And now!
It’s about two hundred steps away from the city.

Waves of footsteps swept over.

As Zhu Ying raised his hand.

"Xu."

Nearly 20,000 cavalrymen behind him pulled their reins and stopped.

Zhu Ying, who was at the forefront, also stopped.

Gazing at Liaoyang City ahead.

"Bros."

"Our army has arrived in Liaoyang first."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

“Mighty, mighty.”

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him excitedly raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Combined with the Ming Dynasty's battle flag in the front and the Daning's battle flag, the military might was fully demonstrated.

"General."

"Now we have arrived first."

"But the main force has not yet arrived."

"According to reports, there are no fewer than 100,000 Yuan troops in Liaoyang City, and they have ample food and supplies."

"If we attack this time, we will suffer no consequences." Zhang Wu said respectfully.

"nonsense."

Zhu Ying turned around and angrily scolded, "Do you think I would just attack and seek death?"

"hey-hey."

"We are used to following the general into battle. Whenever we encounter a city, the general will lead us to break into it and charge in."

"I was afraid that the general would lose his mind and charge in directly." Zhang Wu laughed awkwardly.

"Although it is not allowed to attack."

"But we can also issue another challenge to Naha."

Zhu Ying smiled.

Then he raised his hand.

Liu Lei immediately understood.

He took out a piece of cloth and a pen and handed them to Zhu Ying immediately.

Zhu Ying took it.

He picked up the pen and wrote a sentence on the cloth.

Subsequently.

He took out an arrow from the quiver behind him.

Tie the cloth to the arrow.

Mentioned the precious carved bow.

Bow and arrow.

The precious carved bow, which is difficult for ordinary people to pull, was easily pulled into a full moon shape by Zhu Ying's arm strength.

next moment!
A hissing sound.

The arrow flew out of the bow.

It turned into a stream of light and flew directly towards Liaoyang City.

Almost instantly.

"Be careful, Commander."

The commander of Nahachu's personal guards saw a streak of light coming quickly and rushed towards Nahachu.

There was a pop.

The arrow was nailed directly onto the bluestone slab behind the city gate.

Even spider-web-like cracks appeared on the bluestone slab, which shows how powerful this arrow was.

Even directly into the three-pointer.

"What strong arm strength."

"What a powerful bow."

Nahachu looked up and saw the sharp arrow that had penetrated three-quarters of his body, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

With such arm strength and power, he is truly a formidable enemy of the Yuan Dynasty!

"There's a cloth on it, take it off."

Nahachu stood up straight and said to his men.

A personal guard immediately ran forward and took away the arrow.

The arrowhead was bent, but the cloth on the shaft was intact.

Nahachu took it and took a look.

His expression changed, but he laughed out of anger.

There was only one sentence on the cloth: "Nahachu! Wait for my Zhuying to take your head!"

"Zhu Ying."

"It's him indeed."

"Many of my generals died at his hands."

"Now he is so arrogant that he wants to take my head." Nahachu said with a bit of coldness.

"This Zhu Ying is too rampant."

"General."

"Now, while the main force of the Ming army has not yet arrived, I am willing to lead my troops out of the city, catch these Ming soldiers off guard, and behead Zhu Ying and present him to the Grand Commandant." Hong Baobao said angrily. He was extremely grateful to Nahachu.

He originally lived in the old nest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but because he killed a powerful person, he had nowhere to go!

Later, he was taken in by Nahachu and was able to survive.

So he was very grateful to Nahachu and was willing to sacrifice his life to serve him.

"madness."

Nahachu cursed, his face serious.

"Can't you see that Zhu Ying is deliberately trying to provoke us in order to lure our troops out of the city?"

Nahachu sneered, obviously having seen through Zhu Ying's intention.

"Zhu Ying's army appears to be less than 20,000. The forces in our city are enough to annihilate them."

"Is the commander too worried?" Hong Baobao asked in surprise.

"It seems he doesn't have many troops now, but how can you be sure there aren't Ming troops lying in ambush behind him?"

"This Zhu Ying is extremely cunning." Nahachu said in a deep voice.

"How can you be so cunning at just seventeen?"

"Who on earth is this Zhu Ying?" Hong Baobao cursed.

"An enemy that our Great Yuan cannot ignore in the future."

Nahachu sighed.

Zhu Ying stared at the city in front of him with deep fear.

This is something that has never happened even when facing many powerful generals in Huaixi.

"Pass on the commander's orders."

"From today on, the entire city is sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"From today on, all troops are to prepare for battle. No matter how angry the Ming army is, they must not leave the city to engage in battle. The priority is to defend the city."

"From today on, we will defend the entire city and fight the Ming army to the bitter end."

"It's winter now. When it gets coldest, maybe we in Liaodong will have a chance to counterattack." Nahachu gave a loud order.

"The last general takes orders."

Many Yuan generals on the city gate said in unison.

Turn your eyes!

Looking at the Liaoyang City where there was no movement.

Zhu Ying looked disappointed.

"Pity."

"It didn't even provoke them to go out of the city to fight."

"This Nahachu is indeed an old fox."

Zhu Ying said with some disappointment.

He originally planned to trick some Yuan soldiers out of the city to fight, and then kill them himself. This would be considered a jackpot for being the first to arrive in Liaoyang City.

Never thought.

Nahachu doesn't give me a chance!

"Send the general's order."

"Choose a spot to set up camp and wait for the main army to join forces."

Zhu Ying said loudly.

Then he spurred his horse and turned around to leave.

Nearly 20,000 cavalry soldiers also followed.

The vibration sound continued and left the Liaoyang City.

Time flies!

under night.

It is less than five miles away from Liaoyang City.

Where the Ming army set up camp!
The Ming army went to Liaodong to garrison and recapture various cities.

All the rest are gathered here.

In the camp!
The terms of service for all the generals who were sent to conquer Liaodong have expired.

The security outside the camp is very strict, and no one is allowed to enter without the order of the general. Every general in the camp is a deputy commander, or even a general above him.

Feng Sheng was in the main position.

On the left and right are the two main generals Fu Youde and Lan Yu.

of course.

Because of Tieling, many generals under Lan Yu's command died in battle, and some were recuperating in the wounded camp.

This also leaves a lot of vacancies in the general camp today.

"Generals."

"Under the imperial order, the army for the Liaodong expedition has been assembled."

Feng Sheng sat in the main seat and smiled at the generals in the tent.

"General."

"Just give the order."

"Liaoyang is within reach, and Nahachu is already at the end of his strength. We must capture Liaoyang tomorrow and recapture the entire Liaodong." Fu Youde asked directly.

"Yes."

"General, just give the order directly."

"I am willing to be the vanguard."

"I am willing to do the same."

Suddenly.

Generals such as Wang Bi and Hu Hai all spoke out to request orders.

The troops arrived at Liaoyang, which was also the last major battle in the attack on Liaodong.

As long as Liaoyang is captured, the remaining cities in Liaodong will not be difficult and can be easily recaptured.

"These brave generals from Huaixi have started again." Bu Wan lowered his voice and said to Zhu Ying beside him.

"Let them rob it."

"Anyway, this is the last major battle in the attack on Liaodong."

"The Daning Border Army has already received a lot of deserved military merit."

"Although this is the last battle, Nahachu will certainly defend Liaodong to the death. It won't be easy to take credit for this great achievement. Let them fight for it first." Zhu Ying smiled faintly and didn't care about taking credit for anything.

Attack the city and capture the territory!

Everything still depends on combat power.

"Correct."

"Let them take it away." Bu Wan smiled slightly, also in the mood to watch the show, without saying a word.

Looking at the generals in the tent asking for battle.

Feng Sheng smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with the fighting spirit.

"This time the troops are gathered together."

"The army is nearly 200,000 strong."

"Our army has at least twice as many troops as Nahachu."

"And they are all veterans of the battlefield, no one Nahachu can match them in terms of combat power."

"In this battle, we will conquer Liaoyang, recapture Liaodong, and recover our Han homeland."

“Just waiting to be recovered.”

"All of you generals are meritorious officials of our Ming Dynasty, and your names will be recorded in the history of the Han Chinese." Feng Sheng said solemnly.

Liaodong has been separated from the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Ever since Yuan took control of the world, it has been under the control of the Yuan court.

Even after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Han territory was gradually recovered, the south was pacified, and the north returned.

Liaodong was still under the control of the Yuan court, and only now began the crucial task of recovering Liaodong.

"I am willing to swear to serve the Ming Dynasty."

"For the Han Chinese, to recover our homeland."

now.

Every general's expression was extremely solemn, full of desire to leave their names in history.

"There will be a battle tomorrow."

"Our army must exert its full combat power."

"Liaoyang City, as the capital of Liaodong Prefecture, was managed by Nahachu for many years. Its defenses were strong, surpassing those of Jincheng and Kaiyuan."

"but."

"Liaoyang City is vast and has four gates: east, west, south, and north."

"Although Nahachu has gathered troops to defend Liaoyang, his manpower is limited and is inferior to that of our Ming Dynasty."

"In this battle, we must give full play to the advantages of our large number of soldiers and generals." Feng Sheng said in a deep voice.

Obviously.

He had already figured out how to mobilize his troops and how to attack Liaoyang.

"At the command of the General."

All the generals in the tent said in unison.

"The West Gate is the main gate of Liaoyang City facing our army. Also, the South Gate! Hand it over to General Fu's men to attack."

"General Lan Yu will lead the attack on the East Gate."

"The north gate will be attacked by the Daning border troops."

"This battle."

"Attack from all four gates simultaneously."

Feng Sheng didn't think too much about it and immediately appointed a general and issued an order.

Now that the army for the Liaodong expedition has gathered, it is natural to fully utilize the advantages of this army.

The troops were divided into four groups and launched a forced attack.

Although Liaoyang City is high and strong, it is easier to attack than Jincheng and Kaiyuan.

Because he has four doors.

In this day and age.

Every city has four gates.

The rest of the cities have two gates.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has sufficient military strength, it must fully utilize its advantages. As long as one gate is breached, the Yuan army in the city will be unable to take care of both ends and will be in chaos and collapse.

"The last general takes orders."

As General Feng Sheng gave the order, the generals who were called upon obeyed the orders one after another.

Bu Wan, who was beside Zhu Ying, also received the order.

"When we attack the city tomorrow."

"Whoever captures and kills Nahachu first will be the first to achieve the first victory!"

"The Emperor has already sent someone to convey his order. This time, life or death is irrelevant."

"The emperor no longer has any tolerance for Nahachu." Feng Sheng said coldly.

"The last general takes orders."

There was a burning look in the eyes of all the generals.

The attack on Liaoyang City was the final and decisive battle in Liaodong.

Nahachu!
Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the head of Liaodong.

Whoever captures him will be killed!

That is the real great achievement.

now.

Even Zhu Ying is no exception.

"Nahhachu."

"I wonder if killing him will yield a second-tier treasure chest."

"After all, he is in charge of a region and holds a very high position in the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"The leader of a small tribe like the Jiannu, even the King of Goryeo, cannot match this power."

Zhu Ying thought secretly in his heart.

Everyone in the tent wanted to capture and kill Nahachu, but there was only one Nahachu, so it all depended on their own abilities.

"This time, in addition to the emperor urging our army to recapture Liaodong."

"There are also other imperial decrees of reward and punishment."

Feng Sheng changed the subject, and his voice echoed throughout the tent.

Hear the sound!

Lan Yu's expression changed.

He naturally understood that this punishment was related to him.

"The Emperor's order."

"Bu Wan, the acting commander of Daning, has been rewarded with one hundred gold coins and commended for his meritorious service in controlling the Daning border troops."

Feng Sheng took out an imperial edict and read it briefly.

Bu Wan stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Bu Wan, thank you for your grace."

For Bu Wan.

It's incredibly exciting at this moment.

This was the first time in his life that he received an imperial edict from the current emperor.

What an honor and blessing this is.

Although there were many officials serving in the Ming Dynasty, only a few were honored enough to receive imperial edicts of commendation.

The commander of Feng Sheng's personal guards immediately picked up the imperial edict and placed it in Bu Wan's hands.

"Lord Bu."

"Although you are a civilian official, you have temporarily taken on the post of commander-in-chief and have made many contributions in logistics and supplies. You have also cooperated with the border army generals to conquer Liaodong. You deserve this reward from the emperor," Feng Sheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, General."

Bu Wan was extremely excited as he held the imperial edict in both hands.

When returning to your position.

Bu Wan held the imperial edict tightly and looked at Zhu Ying with gratitude.

"General Zhu."

"Thank you."

"This is the first imperial edict I have ever received in my life."

"If it weren't for you, I would have no chance of getting it." Bu Wan said happily.

"My lord, you're welcome."

"This is what you deserve, my lord."

"As the commander of the Daning Border Army, you will share the glory of the Daning Border Army's military achievements." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"kindness."

Bu Wan nodded heavily.

But the gratitude towards Zhu Ying in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"Zhu Ying, the co-governor of the Daning Border Army."

Feng Sheng said loudly again.

"The end will be here."

Zhu Ying came out immediately.

"The Emperor has a decree."

"General Zhu's rescue efforts during the Battle of Tieling saved our Ming soldiers from annihilation. This meritorious service will be celebrated! After we pacify Liaodong, you will surely be handsomely rewarded."

"The Emperor and the Crown Prince hope that General Zhu will continue to serve the country and defend the nation."

Feng Sheng said loudly.

He also read out the meaning of the imperial edict.

"Your servant Zhu Ying will never fail the emperor's grace."

Zhu Ying also replied immediately.

Then the commander of the personal guards handed the imperial edict to Zhu Ying.

"The host receives an imperial edict and is rewarded with an ordinary treasure chest." The panel prompts.

"It would be great if Old Zhu could give me ten imperial edicts at once."

"That's ten treasure chests."

Looking at the imperial edict of encouragement in his hand, Zhu Ying smiled with emotion.

As two imperial edicts of commendation were issued.

Next came the imperial decree of punishment.

Feng Sheng looked at Lan Yu.

After feeling this gaze, Lan Yu also stood up with a frustrated look on his face.

"Marquis of Yongchang Lan Yu."

"He was too greedy for success and rushed forward without carefully investigating the enemy situation, leaving his troops in danger and ambushes. If foreign aid had not arrived in time, the entire army would have been annihilated."

"It was an unintentional mistake on your part."

"Now, I will fine you one year's salary as a punishment."

"On the Liaodong battlefield, you are given the opportunity to redeem yourself from your crimes and make meritorious contributions." Feng Sheng read aloud.

"Your Highness Lan Yu, I accept your command and thank you for your grace."

Lan Yu looked frustrated and bowed respectfully.

Feng Sheng saw this.

He walked up to Lan Yu in person and placed the imperial edict in his hands.
