The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 248 Nai'er Buhua Arrives
At this moment, Jiang Huan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, handed over the latest intelligence.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to open it and read it.

Since the Ming army marched north, he had been waiting for news, and he wanted to be the first to see any news that came his way.

After reading the above content, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent! This battle was fought brilliantly. The Yuan Dynasty has finally fallen to our hands!"

"Boss, Togus Temur has been captured, and by the second brother no less!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was overjoyed to hear this.

"I never expected that the second brother would do something so quietly. He's truly brilliant! When he returns, Father will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lip and said with utter disdain.

"What's so great about rewarding that kid? As my son, isn't it normal for him to make some contributions?"

"But that's fine too. When the time comes, I won't have to worry about them embarrassing me!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao frowned upon hearing this and complied.

Zhu Yuanzhang intended to assign all his sons to various places to lead troops.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was not concerned about this plan.

These remote areas are extremely unstable. Apart from the thirteen provinces of Han territory, the defense of other places is extremely troublesome. It would be better to send my trustworthy younger brothers out to guard the frontier.

At least while I'm in power, these guys would never dare to make any trouble. If I wanted to take back their military power, it would be a piece of cake.

In addition, Zhu Xiong Ying was also very skilled; at least none of his younger brothers could match him.

When Xiong Ying succeeds to the throne, he will be able to thoroughly consolidate the current territory. Given Zhu Xiong Ying's personality, he will definitely wage wars abroad. At that time, these places will be taken back, and the land outside will be distributed to them.

In this way, the territory of his Ming Dynasty will only increase.

After seeing the contents, Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt somewhat worried.

"How did Second Brother get injured? Should we send a few Taiyi to check on him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "It's alright. The frontline doctors have already treated him. The second son's thinness is just some superficial injuries, and he'll recover in no time. But Lan Yu really went too far. No matter what, they are still our sons. Didn't he know to send more guards to watch over them?"

"If it weren't for the fact that this guy is still somewhat useful to U.A., I would have killed him long ago!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled but did not speak. Although Lan Yu had many flaws, he was indeed a capable general, especially given his connections with the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying.

As long as Zhu Xiong Ying is around, Lan Yu will never have the opportunity to rebel; he can be the one to fight when the time comes.

Soon a battle report arrived from the front lines, this time from Xu Da's army.

The letter described the efforts Xu Da and Zhu Xiong Ying had made along the way.

And there's also Zhu Xiong Ying's plan.

Upon seeing Zhu Xiong Ying's plan, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, seemingly pondering its feasibility.

"Boss, do you think U.A.'s plan can be realized?"

Clearly, he was extremely interested in Zhu Xiong Ying's plan.

Previous dynasties mostly dealt with the people of the northern grasslands using the method described by Xu Da.

While this method may bring decades of peace to the border, it is essentially a temporary solution that does not address the root cause of the problem.

Those tribes that originally submitted to the Ming Dynasty also began to grow stronger after development.

If the Ming Dynasty ever faces any problems, these guys will absolutely not hesitate to bare their fangs at them.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao hesitated.

"I have to say, the plan proposed by Eagle is quite interesting. If that thing he has called cement is really that magical, perhaps we will be able to control the North more easily in the future!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded.

"This is exactly what I wanted to see. There are too many tribes on the grasslands, and they have no fixed abode and worship the strong!"

"Even if we defeat their tribe now, they might be swallowed up by other tribes, and then they will still be stronger!"

"Therefore, the best solution is to turn all these people into descendants of the Ming Dynasty!"

"When Qin Shi Huang unified the seven kingdoms, the six kingdoms in Shandong each had their own customs, which were extremely different. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang proposed standardizing the width of carts, the written language, and the ethical norms. He even standardized weights and measures, which gradually made the Central Plains region more stable!"

"Perhaps we can indeed use this method to force these people to speak Chinese and change their surnames!"

"In this way, the problems on the grasslands will be completely eradicated in just a few generations, and then the grasslands to the north will become the backyard of our Great Ming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited upon hearing his crown prince Zhu Biao's analysis: "I told you long ago, how could there be any problem with what our eldest grandson said? He truly is our good eldest grandson!"

"Since you think it's a good idea, let's try it out with the eagle using this method. Whether it succeeds or not, we won't suffer any loss!"

At this time, Crown Prince Zhu Biao still had some worries in his heart.

"There aren't any major problems, but the civil officials in the court might have some concerns!"

"Those people value lineage extremely highly. If they find out, they might object!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Ignore those guys, they're no match for us!"

"We are still the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and they have no say in the matter!"

朱。

After discussing it, Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao made a decision on the matter.

The leaders of various tribes on the grassland gathered together, their brows furrowed in worry.

Since the Ming army entered the grasslands, a series of bad news almost overwhelmed them.

The tribes on the grasslands were being wiped out at a visible speed, but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that there was no news of where the royal court was now.

According to some of the escapees, the location of the grassland royal court is Fishing Lake.

They also suffered a devastating blow from Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of them have now been captured and are being escorted to Yingtianfu.

The capture of the renowned general Kökö Temür and the fall of Karakorum in Liaodong brought these people to realize that confronting the Ming army was an extremely foolish thing to do.

Now, surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the best option, but for some reason, when the news of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was sent out, Xu Da did not respond at all.
