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

Chapter 383 Zhu Ying: Keep your head, lose your hair!
Caught between two attacks.

Moreover, one side of them consisted of soldiers from the most elite cavalry battalion of the Ming Dynasty.

Under Zhu Ying's command, their fighting strength increased even more, so how could these Tartars be a match for them?
The two-pronged attack has begun.

As night fell.

The great battle of Kaiyuan City had already ended.

Inside the city, in the main hall of the government office!
"Your Highness, we pay our respects."

Guo Ying, Yang Wen, and other generals stationed in Liaodong Prefecture bowed to Zhu Ying with great excitement.

"Generals, you may dispense with the formalities."

Looking at these generals who had been in Liaodong for most of the year, Zhu Ying smiled slightly and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The generals all expressed their gratitude.

"We have saved Liaodong this time, and all of you generals have worked hard," Zhu Ying encouraged his generals.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."

"They are just some barbarian Tartars who have invaded. Although they have a considerable number of troops, their fighting strength is just so-so. This time, we have been appointed by Your Highness to guard Liaodong, which is an honor for us," Guo Ying replied calmly.

Facing Zhu Ying, none of the generals were arrogant or complacent.

After all, among all the military generals in the court, none could be arrogant in front of Zhu Ying.

After all, Zhu Ying now possesses not only immense imperial power, but also unparalleled military achievements.

To be arrogant in front of him is to invite trouble.

"When one commands an army alone, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit."

"This battle."

"I have seen all the meritorious officials."

"After the battle is over, rewards will be given according to merit," Zhu Yingyi said authoritatively, raising his hand.

"Your Highness, we thank you for your great kindness."

The generals didn't stand on ceremony and thanked them all.

At this moment!

"Report."

"Your Highness."

"We caught two big fish."

Zhang Wu rushed in, his face full of excitement.

Behind him, a group of soldiers escorted a large group of people.

Wearing fur coats and iron armor.

Among the Tartars, those who wear iron armor are either elite troops or their leaders.

Obviously.

The answer to why Zhang Wu called this a "big fish" is obvious.

"The chieftains of the Jianzhou Tartar tribe and the Haixi Tartar tribe have all been captured."

"And many of his generals are currently imprisoned outside," Zhang Wu said excitedly.

He then pointed directly at the two Tartars who had been escorted into the main hall.

Just as Zhang Wu said, one was the chieftain of the Jianzhou Tartar tribe, and the other was the chieftain of the Haixi tribe.

The two main clan leaders of the three Tartar tribes are now prisoners.

"These two guys are still trying to break through, but with their meager fighting strength, it's a joke that they want to break through the defenses of my Great Ming Cavalry Camp," Zhang Wu said with a hint of sarcasm.

Zhu Ying raised his gaze and it fell on the two of them.

"Your father died at my hands back then, and now you've fallen into my hands too."

Zhu Ying spoke to the Jianzhou tribal chief with a touch of emotion.

"Zhu Ying."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; I have nothing to say."

"If you want to kill, kill."

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost." The Jianzhou clan chief raised his head, knowing he was doomed, and stared intently at Zhu Ying.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

“I…I, Haixi, am willing to submit to the Great Ming.”

"I beg Your Highness's forgiveness. All these invasions of the Ming Dynasty were instigated by him. I am willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and never betray it."

The chieftain of the Western Sea immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"If you want to be a ghost, I will grant your wish."

Zhu Ying sneered.

Raise your hand.

With the power of his inner strength, he struck out at him with a palm strike mid-air.

Bang.

Before the Jianzhou clan chief could react, he was blasted away by a powerful force.

Under the immense internal force, his meridians ruptured instantly, and he died bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Kill the Jianzhou tribe chief and you will be rewarded with a Tier 2 treasure chest and 100 days of lifespan," the panel notification stated.

See this tip.

Zhu Ying was not surprised. After all, he was just a small tribal chief, and it was already quite good that he could bring a second-tier treasure chest.

Once he has complete control over the territory and population of his Jianzhou tribe, everything will be settled.

After all, this is the era we live in.

This was the most prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, unlike the chaotic Ming Dynasty of later generations, and these Tartars had no opportunity to take advantage of it.

"You want to submit to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Ying looked at the chieftain of the Haixi tribe in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"I am willing to submit."

"I swear to serve the Ming Dynasty to the death!" The chieftain of the Haixi tribe kowtowed frantically.

"What's your name?" Zhu Ying asked again.

“This humble one…this humble one is Xiyang Ha,” the chieftain of the Haixi tribe said respectfully.

"It turns out to be you."

Upon hearing the name, Zhu Ying suddenly came to his senses.

This person is recorded in history as a fickle individual, having submitted to the Ming Dynasty multiple times and then betrayed it repeatedly.

He is a complete scoundrel.

"Does Your Highness the Crown Prince know me?" Xiyang Ha raised his head and asked respectfully, his eyes even filled with anticipation.

Whether we know each other or not is irrelevant now.

"but."

“I do need someone to restrain you Tartars.”

“After all, the Tartars have a considerable population, enough to provide labor for our Great Ming,” Zhu Ying said slowly.

Hear this.

A look of wild joy appeared on Xiyang Ha's face, and he excitedly kowtowed, "Does Your Highness intend to spare my life?"

"I swear to serve Your Highness and the Ming Dynasty to the death."

Obviously.

He naturally heard the hope of survival in Zhu Ying's words.

Zhu Ying didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, a Gu worm pill, enveloped in his inner force, flew towards Xiyang Ha.

Seeing the pills floating towards him, Xiyang Ha's eyes were filled with shock.

of course!

Don't say it's him.

Even the Ming generals inside the main hall were all visibly shocked, looking at Zhu Ying as if he were a god.

This is something that cannot be done by human beings.

"Eat it."

"You can live, or I can make you a puppet clan leader for my Great Ming to control the Tartars," Zhu Ying said coldly, without any further words.

Looking at the pills floating in front of him, Xiyang Ha knew that they were definitely not good things, or even poison, but at this moment he had no choice but to save his life.

He's not some righteous and awe-inspiring person.

If he were truly unafraid of death, he wouldn't have knelt down and begged for mercy.

then.

He took the pill directly and swallowed it, forcing himself to swallow it.

then.

Zhu Ying directly caused him to experience a heart-wrenching pain.

After continuing for a while.

That relieved his pain.

Then Zhu Ying also directly explained that the Heart-Eating Pill is only taken once a season, and without the pill to suppress it, one will suffer the agonizing pain of dying from the heart being devoured.

At this moment, Xiyangha's face was deathly pale.

"remember."

"I don't trust people like you. Only those who are completely under my control are qualified to become my pawns."

"Besides you taking this pill, all your men must take it too."

talking.

Zhu Ying waved his hand.

Another dozen or so bottles of pills landed in front of Xiyang Ha.

"I can spare the lives of your generals, on the condition that they all take this pill. If they refuse, kill them."

"General Guo, personally send someone to keep an eye on things," Zhu Ying said coldly.

"Your subject obeys the decree," Guo Ying replied immediately.

"besides."

"From now on, all of you Tartars must be subject to the shaving order. No one is allowed to keep hair. If even one hair is left, you will be beheaded."

"From now on, the Ming Dynasty will have one decree for your tribe: keep your head, lose your hair; keep your hair, lose your head."

Zhu Ying stared at Xiyangha before him and issued another order.

As Zhu Ying said these words, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

From now on.

History has changed.

The tragedies of massacre on the land of China will never be repeated. The Ming Dynasty will prosper forever, and these three works will forever be suppressed by the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes."

Xi Yangha dared not refuse, and knelt down in fear and humiliation to accept the order.

And this time.

Yang Wen, standing to the side, snorted coldly: "Since you've accepted the order, then you can start."

"There's no need to keep the hair on your head, you barbarian."

As Yang Wen's voice faded.

All the generals in the hall turned their gazes toward Xiyang Ha, their eyes filled with predatory intent.

Under such gaze.

Xi Yangha dared not refuse.

"Let's give him a hand," Zhu Ying sneered.

Immediately, Wang Wei stepped forward, carrying a small knife, and directly attacked Xiyang Ha's head.

Not a moment.

Xi Yangha's head was covered in blood, and he had lost all his hair.

"Let him choose the people."

"Then, take the pill." Zhu Yingyi waved his hand.

"Yes."

Immediately, Liu Lei, along with Wang Wei, dragged the Xiyang Ha away from the main hall.

Next.

Zhu Ying used this person to control the three ministries. Although their total population was only one or two million, it was still a population. As long as they were population, they could strengthen the Ming Dynasty through labor.

future.

The Tartars will be suppressed by the Ming Dynasty forever.

"Your Highness."

"Although these two problems have been solved, there are still those Tartars from the East Sea."

"The North Korean army is now tied up with them," Guo Ying respectfully reported.

"Li Chenggui performed well this time."

"Troops were dispatched."

"It seems that our Great Ming Dynasty will not need to take action against him in the short term," Zhu Ying said slowly.

"This small, foreign country can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist," Guo Ying said with a smile.

"Guo Qing."

"This time, you will lead the soldiers stationed in Liaodong to deal with the last of the Tartars. All prisoners will be sent back to their homeland to be slaves for life, to labor for our Great Ming." Zhu Ying gave Guo Ying the order directly.

Dealing with these remaining enemies naturally doesn't require the main combat battalion to intervene.

This merit of war shall be given to Guo Ying and the soldiers stationed in Liaodong.

Hear this!

Guo Ying, his face filled with excitement, immediately bowed and said, "Your subject and the soldiers of Liaodong will certainly not disappoint Your Highness."

"General Yang Wen." Zhu Ying's gaze shifted and landed on the Liaodong Commander.

Upon hearing his name, Yang Wen was filled with excitement and reverence for Zhu Ying. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your subject is here!"

"I have heard of your name long ago. Over the years, as the commander of Liaodong, you have never neglected to consolidate the border defenses."

"It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have a general as capable as you," Zhu Ying praised with a smile.

Hearing this praise, Yang Wen was even more excited. To receive praise from Zhu Ying was an immense honor.

"To receive Your Highness's praise, I would die without regret," Yang Wen said excitedly.

But Zhu Ying smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk about death in front of me. The world is vast, and I need capable ministers and generals to follow me in conquering all directions and unifying the world. I will not treat any meritorious minister poorly."

"Your subject obeys," Yang Wen replied immediately with a serious expression.

"It has been nearly eight months since the Tatars invaded our Great Ming."

"In this battle, our Great Ming Dynasty won and annexed the Tatars. Now we will also annex these three Tatar tribes."

"The expansion of our territory is more than a million miles."

"These achievements are not the work of one person alone, but the result of the combined efforts of all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in their campaigns and defenses."

"This time."

"I will return to Yingtian and reward all the meritorious officials accordingly."

"This time, I'll reveal a little about the rewards. They're not just gold and silver salaries. Unlike before, they will definitely make all the soldiers happy. Moreover, this is the foundation for the future reform of our Great Ming Dynasty." Zhu Ying suddenly spoke slowly, with a mysterious air and a way of enticing the generals' curiosity.

"Your Highness."

"What is it that is so unique?" Lan Yu couldn't help but ask.

After all, he was a relative, and even Lan Yu's maternal great-uncle, so Lan Yu wasn't afraid of anything.

All the generals watched with anticipation.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Zhu Ying smiled, not wanting to say anything now.

The generals were very curious, but there was nothing they could do.

"Guo Qing."

"Have the logistics troops in the city prepare food. My cavalry and I have been on a long march, and our mouths are dry," Zhu Ying said with a smile, then turned to Guo Ying.

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

"I have already given the instructions."

"We can make sure the soldiers have a good meal tonight," Guo Ying replied with a smile.

"That's good."

"Once the great war is completely over, I will have the workshops transport fine wine to the military camps so that every soldier can drink to their heart's content," Zhu Ying said with a big laugh.

……

Time passed quickly.

Inside Yingtian City.

Fengtian Temple.

"Hahaha."

"The war in the northern frontier is finally coming to an end."

“Those three Tartar tribes have also been dealt with by our grandson.”

"Our Great Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory by millions of miles and increased its population by over seven million!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held the report in his hand and laughed heartily with great excitement.

"Father."

"The territory of my Great Ming Dynasty is now unmatched by any other dynasty in China."

"Such a territory is truly unique throughout history," Zhu Biao said excitedly.

"Yes."

"This is the strength and vast territory of my Great Ming Dynasty."

"Unique throughout history."

"I am also the emperor with the largest territory among all the dynasties in Chinese history," Zhu Yuanzhang said, still laughing excitedly.

Upon seeing this, the court officials all stood up and shouted, "Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Crown Prince! Long live the Grandson!"

"May the Ming Dynasty last for ten thousand generations."

"We won't live to see the Emperor forever," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, waving his hand. Then he asked, "Has Xiong Ying said when he'll be back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on the messenger in the main hall.

"Return to the Emperor."

"His Highness the Crown Prince said he will return once he has finished dealing with all matters in the Northern Frontier," the messenger replied immediately.

"This boy."

"There's only a little over a month left until the end of the year, and he's still stuck in the northern frontier. He really doesn't miss us," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a hint of resentment.

But Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Father, with such a large territory newly established in the Northern Frontier, Xiong Ying should naturally stay behind to oversee the overall situation."
