Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 145 I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

"Why did the Northern Yuan invade Guan?"

Zhu Gang was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Is civil unrest breaking out in our Ming Dynasty right now?"

"That's right!" Zhu Di nodded. "According to the current relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to take the initiative to provoke our Ming Dynasty. But they have come here now. It must be because they saw that our Ming Dynasty was in civil strife and wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob us."

Zhu Gang said: "But, the civil strife in our Ming Dynasty is now over!"

Zhu Di smiled widely and said, "Yes, the civil strife in our Ming Dynasty has ended, so the Northern Yuan Dynasty is in big trouble."

"Uh..." Zhu Gang was stunned for a moment. Looking at Zhu Di in front of him, he finally reacted and said hesitantly: "Third Brother, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty has just taken the throne. Will he really go to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"

"I think so." Zhu Di said.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "As for what you said, Third Brother, although it sounds reasonable, it is actually not a problem at all. Unless His Majesty loses miserably on the grassland, who would dare to have any other thoughts? Third Brother, do you dare?"

"I'd better forget it." Zhu Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhu Yunhuan had already said that each person would only give them one chance. Now he had used up the chance, which was equivalent to having no amulet. At this time, he would only provoke Zhu Yunhuan out of boredom.

Even if Zhu Yunhuan suffered a crushing defeat on the grassland, he would never have any other thoughts.

"Look, you don't dare. Do you think other people are so brave? Do they dare?" Zhu Di shrugged.

Zhu Gang nodded and said, "That's true. I was a little overthinking it."

"Okay, you go back. I'll go to the palace now to see what His Majesty says." Zhu Di said.

"Okay!" Zhu Gang responded, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and said, "Let's go into the palace and take a look at the situation."

"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui nodded.

Afterwards, the father and his two sons left the palace and headed towards the imperial palace.

The news of the Northern Yuan invasion quickly spread throughout Yingtian Prefecture.

The streets, alleys, brothels and taverns were all buzzing with discussion, and everyone's expression was filled with amusement.

"What is the Northern Yuan Dynasty planning to do? Isn't it a little too late to start a war now?"

"The civil unrest in our Ming Dynasty has ended, and now the Northern Yuan Dynasty has risen up. How great!"

"What do you think? Will His Majesty send troops? I really want to see the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charging across the grasslands. That scene must be quite spectacular."

"No, what on earth is Bei Yuan thinking? Are they trying to take advantage of this opportunity to move south again?"

"The grasslands are inferior to the Central Plains. We have cities in the Central Plains, but they couldn't stop your majesty's advance. If we get to the grasslands, the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will definitely beat the hell out of the Northern Yuan army, right?"

"Hehe, Bei Yuan is truly doomed. If they had stayed in hiding at this moment, they might have been able to escape. But they actually dared to jump out and cause trouble. They must be thinking their own life is too long!"

"I don't know how to put it, but I feel like the Golden Family's luck may really be running out this time."

"."

Everyone was talking about it, and when they talked about the Northern Yuan invasion, their faces were full of amusement.

Zhu Yunhuan started out as a cavalryman, and was able to advance rapidly in the Ming Dynasty, which had the advantage of cities. If he were to reach the grassland, wouldn't he be able to take off quickly?

Originally, some people were speculating when Zhu Yunhuan would send troops to the grassland. No one expected that the Northern Yuan Dynasty would take the initiative to come forward.

More importantly, the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty had ended and the situation had stabilized, and at this time the Northern Yuan Dynasty sent troops.

This is such a good time.

The palace!

After Zhu Yunhuan sent away Zhu Gang, Zhu Zhen and others, he was planning to continue to accompany Xu Miaojing, Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan.

"Your Majesty, we have an urgent message from the border, which is eight hundred miles away. The messenger is waiting for you outside the palace!" Suddenly, a young eunuch ran over in a hurry and said respectfully.

"Hmm?" Zhu Yunhuan frowned, looking a little surprised.

Not long ago, he was still thinking about fighting against foreign enemies and increasing his prestige through martial arts. Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, the enemy jumped out.

"Bring the person here!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

Since there are enemies coming to the border, we need to put aside our romantic feelings for the time being.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The young eunuch agreed, turned around and ran away quickly.

After a while!

The messenger was brought before Zhu Yunhuan and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The messenger thanked him, stood up, then took out a letter from his arms and presented it with a bow.

Ma Sanbao stepped forward, picked up the letter, and then walked to Zhu Yunhuan and handed the letter to him.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Zhu Yunhuan tore open the letter and quickly glanced through the contents. He looked amused and said, "The Northern Yuan Dynasty actually dared to stir up trouble. How interesting!"

No one knows when it started, but the grasslands in Mobei have become a major threat to the Central Plains.

All dynasties in the Central Plains have been troubled by how to govern the grasslands.

As dynasties in the Central Plains changed, the power in the grasslands also changed. In any case, there would always be a powerful enemy on the grasslands to compete with the Central Plains.

The Xiongnu during the Qin and Han dynasties.

The Turks during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Then to Mongolia during the Song and Ming dynasties.

Every period has corresponding enemies.

The collision between the grassland and the Central Plains is, in some respects, also a collision between nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization.

"Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Fang Xiaoru, and Yao Guangxiao are requesting an audience." A young eunuch ran over and said respectfully.

"Bring the person here!" Zhu Yunheng waved his hand and put down the letter in his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The young eunuch nodded and turned to leave.

Zhu Yunhuan stepped forward, walked up to the messenger, looked at the determined young man in front of him, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The work of a messenger seems very easy at ordinary times, but once something happens, they become very busy. Not only do they have to deliver messages at full speed, they have basically no rest time on the road. Sometimes, they may even risk their lives to break through.

In movies and TV dramas, the messenger dies instantly when he is delivering the message in order to hurry on his way. This scene is not made up at random, but has a historical basis.

In ancient times, it was not like modern times where people could just make a phone call if they had something to say. In ancient times, delivering messages was a very difficult thing. Although there were carrier pigeons, sometimes they would be intercepted.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do." The young messenger said respectfully.

"Your mission is completed. Go down and have a good rest. I will personally lead the army to the Mongolian border." Zhu Yunhuan said.

"Go in person?" The young messenger was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked up at Zhu Yunhuan.

When the enemy attacks, the emperor leads the army in person. Isn't that a bit too harsh?
However, he was just a small messenger and did not dare to say anything more. He said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Fang Xiaoru, and Yao Guangxiao came over and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"You came quickly. Have you heard about the Mongolian invasion?" Zhu Yunheng said.

"Yes!" The six people nodded.

The Mongolian invasion was a huge event, and news of it spread very quickly.

The six of them were originally working at their respective posts, but after hearing the news, they immediately put down their work, met each other, and then came together to see Zhu Yunhuan.

"You came at the right time, so I don't have to send someone to call you. Please sit down!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The six people nodded and each found a seat and sat down.

"Your Majesty, Duke Cao requests an audience!" Ma Sanbao walked over and said respectfully.

Zhu Yunhuan was startled, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This Li Jinglong, what is he doing here to join in the fun?"

He shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Bring the person over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao nodded and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Yuan have invaded our border this time. We must teach them a lesson and absolutely cannot let them off easily." "That's right. In the current situation, the Northern Yuan actually dared to take the initiative to cause trouble. We must not let them off easily."

"Your Majesty, it has been a while since our last attack on the grasslands. It's time to show them how powerful our Ming Dynasty is."

"."

Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Fang Xiaoru, and Yao Guangxiao all spoke up.

They all had the same opinion, that is, the Ming Dynasty must send troops to teach the Northern Yuan a lesson and make it behave itself.

"Okay, then we will send out troops. I will lead the team myself. You can pass the message to the border cities to transport supplies to Peking. This time I want to wipe out the threats from the grassland completely." Zhu Yunheng said calmly.

"What!" Xia Yuanji and the other six were all stunned when they heard Zhu Yunhuan's words.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The six people stood up and knelt on the ground.

The current strength of the Ming Dynasty is enough to defeat the Northern Yuan Dynasty as long as the generals are not useless.

Lan Yu, Zhu Di, Chang Mao, etc., all of these people have made great military achievements, and there is no need for Emperor Zhu Yunhuan to take action.

Although it can certainly boost morale for the emperor to lead the army in person, it also carries great risks.

The emperor is the foundation of a country.

Especially Zhu Yunhuan's current situation. Although he is married and has a queen and two imperial concubines, he has just gotten married. Neither the queen Xu Miaojin nor the imperial concubines Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan are pregnant at all.

At this time, if something happened to Zhu Yunhuan, the Ming Dynasty would be doomed.

Risks and returns are completely disproportionate.

"Your Majesty, Duke Cao is here." Ma Sanbao walked over with Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong looked at Xia Yuanji and the other six kneeling on the ground, and was stunned: "What's going on?"

With doubts in his heart, he stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Yunhuan: "Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong stood up and stood aside, not daring to say anything more.

Zhu Yunhuan's eyes fell on Xia Yuanji and the other six, and with a wry smile on his face, he said, "Alright, all six of you stop kneeling and get up!"

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot lead the army in person!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Northern Yuan Dynasty is not worthy of Your Majesty's personal expedition. Just let the Duke of Liang lead his men."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"."

Xia Yuanji and the other six said in a deep voice.

It would be too risky for Zhu Yunhuan to lead the army in person, and there is no need to take such a risk now.

"It turns out that His Majesty wants to lead the army in person, and these six people are trying to stop Him!" Li Jinglong suddenly realized.

Zhu Yunhuan's face was calm as he said, "You don't need to say anything more. I have made up my mind on this matter."

Although there were many capable military generals in the Ming Dynasty, his prestige was the highest because he personally led the army to fight.

Moreover, if other people were sent to fight, he might not be able to implement his arrangements for the grassland well. This time he personally led the army to the grassland, not only to eliminate the danger at the border, but also to take the opportunity to regulate the grassland.

"This..." Xia Yuanji and the other six looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a determined expression, looking at each other, feeling helpless.

Normally, Zhu Yunhuan was easy to talk to, but once he made a decision, no one could change it.

In some ways, he has the same style as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Jinglong thought for a moment and said, "My Lords, with the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry here, you don't need to worry too much about His Majesty's safety."

Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Fang Xiaoru, and Yao Guangxiao remained silent. On the battlefield, there were too many variables and anything could happen.

The best way to avoid danger is to avoid it.

Li Jinglong looked at the scene before him, thought for a moment, and said again, "Everyone, don't forget, His Majesty is the true dragon emperor. He faced thousands of arrows alone, and in the end, he remained unscathed. Your concern for His Majesty's safety is understandable, but your worry is completely unnecessary!"

"The True Dragon Emperor!" Xia Yuanji and the other six were stunned, and their eyes became complicated.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry may not be able to protect Zhu Yunhuan's safety, but Zhu Yunhuan still has the protection of God!

Who can hurt Zhu Yunhuan?
"Your Majesty, we must make careful arrangements when we go to the grassland this time." Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you can lead the army in person this time, but as the king of a country, it is better for you to avoid such risky things. Just think of it as doing it for the sake of your people and making them a little more stable." Fang Xiaoru said.

"That's right, Your Majesty. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Although you have the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under your command, and you have the protection of heaven, it's best not to take any risky actions."

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, not a general leading troops. You should focus more on governing the Ming Dynasty instead of rushing to the battlefield to fight the enemy."

"."

Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Yao Guangxiao and others spoke out one after another.

They also knew that they could not persuade Zhu Yunhuan this time, so they agreed directly, but they gave Zhu Yunhuan various advice.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

They were also worried that something might happen to Zhu Yunhuan. After all, Zhu Yunhuan was now too important to the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the current Ming Dynasty, if anything happens to Zhu Yunhuan, the country will immediately fall into chaos.

Without him, no one can suppress others.

"Don't worry, the biggest purpose of my going to the grassland this time is to pacify the grassland and prevent it from becoming a threat to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yunheng waved his hand.

"Pacify the grassland and prevent it from becoming a threat to the Ming Dynasty!" When everyone heard Zhu Yunhuan's words, they were stunned and their faces were filled with shock.

"Your Majesty, the grassland has been the biggest threat to the Central Plains since ancient times. Only Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered the grassland briefly, and no one has been able to conquer the grassland since then." Fang Xiaoru looked hesitant.

"Yes, apart from Emperor Taizong of Tang, no one else has conquered the grassland." Zhu Yunhuan nodded.

Although Li Shimin had various black spots in history, his ability was definitely second to none among emperors in the history of the Central Plains. He was not a founding emperor, but his achievements made many founding emperors unable to match him.

The word "Heavenly Khan" established Li Shimin's status on the grassland and also established the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Even in later generations, many people still cherish the memory of the culture of the Tang Dynasty, which was an extremely splendid chapter of the Central Plains civilization.

The glory brought by the Tang Dynasty was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, making them hold their heads high.

But the glory of the Tang Dynasty eventually passed away.

As a time traveler, Zhu Yunhuan felt that it was necessary for him to re-forge new glory for the Central Plains, and this time, the node of glory came to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have any ideas?" Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

"Shhhhh!"

Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi, Fang Xiaoru, and Li Jinglong all looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

They all knew that since Zhu Yunhuan had said he wanted to pacify the grassland, had he already found a way to do it?

"There is no other way but to kill!" Zhu Yunhuan said lightly.

The grassland believes in the law of the jungle. If you want to conquer the grassland, you can only use absolute force. After that, you just have to use time to make the grassland follow the Ming Dynasty.

Apart from this method, all other methods, such as appeasement and grace, are secondary.

"Shhhhh!"

When everyone heard Zhu Yunhuan's words, their expressions changed.

Behind the calm words were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They could all imagine that the grassland would soon become a Shura field with corpses everywhere.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at everyone, as if he understood their thoughts, and smiled and said, "I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan, the Second Young Master, and the Third Young Master request to see you!" Ma Sanbao walked over and said respectfully.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled broadly and said, "It seems Fourth Uncle can't wait any longer. Bring the person over."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao nodded and walked away.

After a while.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui came before Zhu Yunhuan and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
