First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Qingtong and Timur didn't wait for anyone, and rolled their eyes in anger.

There is really no other way, and Timur has done too much damage to the Yuan Dynasty.Frankly speaking, if he submits to Zhu Yuanzhang and leads the army to fight, with this ability, he may be a blessing to the Great Yuan.

After all, there are not many people who are as picky as him.

But the problem is that he is now willing to be an ordinary citizen of Daming.He also tried his best to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.

This is so hurtful.

No matter who it is, if they try to reason with this person, they will probably be defeated.

After all, dismissing Tuotuo and framing Zhongliang are almost unnecessary in the Yuan Dynasty, self-destructing the Great Wall, and self-destruction.

First of all, Timur, as a victim, came out to speak out and scolded Emperor Dayuan severely. Even the most loyal courtiers of Dayuan couldn't justly confront him.

That being the case, who among the people below can withstand Yexian Timur's offensive?

Not really!

Yexian Timur at this time has become a trump card in Daming's hand.

Those captured soldiers and officials of the Yuan Dynasty who were unwilling to surrender and who were smelly and hard were let go first.

What, high official position?

Lao Tzu was a royal doctor at the beginning.

Powerful?

My brother is the prime minister!

Noble birth?

My nephew and the crown prince are young!

Just tell me, what is better than me?

what's the result?

My brother was framed, deposed from military power, and brutally murdered.

At the beginning, my brother held hundreds of thousands of troops, so many people persuaded him to rebel, so he had the ability to rebel against Dayuan and replace him.From this point of view, Tuotuo is indeed Dayuan Zhongliang, much stronger than the previous powerful officials.

What can be returned to Tuotuo?

He was killed unjustly.

So in this Great Yuan Dynasty, it is really meaningless.

Even if the position is high and powerful, the status is respected, so what will happen?

When I was in the Ming Dynasty, I was very happy and at ease.

I have my own veterinary hospital and my own cattle and horse shop. I work hard, earn clean money, and live a stable life.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty treated me well, let me participate in various ceremonies, treated me as a commoner of Ming Dynasty, and cared for me.

So, let's surrender to Daming honestly.

Don't pretend to be stones in the latrine, the Emperor Dayuan is the most ungrateful.

Let's not talk about anything else, there is an intrigue between the crown prince and his father, you don't know it!

Father and son are like this, let alone monarchs and ministers?

On the other hand, the Son of Heaven is fair in doing things, clear in rewards and punishments, treats his ministers with kindness and power, loves the people, restrains his ministers and the people with the law... even the family is harmonious, and father and son are on a blind date.

Which one do you say, is it not as good as Yuan Ting?

Which one still makes you nostalgic for Yuan Ting?

Come on, let's make sense.

Basically, no matter how stubborn the guy is, he will be defeated in the face of Timur's offensive.

Without him, it is impossible to say.

Therefore, in a short period of time, more than 1 Mongolian soldiers chose to surrender and took refuge in Ming Dynasty.

Among the officials of the Yuan court, Zhang Kangbo, the prime minister of the right, Man Chuan, the prime minister of the censor, and nearly a hundred officials of the Yuan court also chose to join.

And first, Timur did a careful investigation of these people. It is impossible for anyone to say that surrender is fine... We must also investigate their identities and investigate what they have done. Only when there are no serious problems can they pass the review. .

In this way, Zhang Kangbo, Man Chuan, and more than [-] people were also invited to the banquet together.

Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be on Yongping Road, where he feasted on all the ministers.

On one side is Yanshan Mountain, and on the other side is Bohai Sea.

The mountains and the sea are connected, and the weather is myriad.

Lao Zhu's ability to choose places is not bad.

He led the civil and military officials to come together, Zhang Ximeng was by his side, and Xu Da was naturally there.Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai finished sweeping east and west, defending the two wings of Dadu, expelling Yuan soldiers, and they also came under orders.

The rest of the generals of the Ming army were also present, which can be described as a gathering of generals.

It is worth mentioning that among this group of people, there is another special person, that is, Minister of Foreign Affairs Maogui.

Among the crowd, he looked very anxious, looking up.

Finally, a bright red flag came slowly from north to south.

Mao Gui saw it and couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, it's Guan Duo, he's here! I'm going to greet you!"

Old Zhu nodded, "Go ahead and tell him, don't care about politeness, we've known his fame for a long time, and it's too late to meet him today."

Mao Gui quickly agreed and went up to meet him.

The two commanders-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army and the Central Route Army of the Northern Expedition unexpectedly met at this time.

Full of words, I didn't know where to start, and I froze here for a while.

It was Guan Duo who laughed first and said, "Don't make Your Majesty wait, let's go there!"

Mao Gui was startled, he was afraid that Guan Duo might say something wrong, but the facts proved that Guan Duo was much better than he imagined.

He knelt on the ground obediently and kowtowed.

"Chen Guan Duo, pay homage to Your Majesty! May my emperor live long, long live!"

Old Zhu laughed out loud, and actually leaned over himself, pulled Guan Duo up, and took a closer look at him.Then he said with a smile: "A thousand-mile expedition, crossing the desert, you Mr. Guan is a character! There are many good men in our Red Turban Army!"

Facing Lao Zhu's approval, Guan Duo appeared to be sincere and apprehensive, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's praise is ridiculous, I wait for you to have the courage of a man, your Majesty is the sage king and master whom the hearts of the people belong to!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "What difficulties do the soldiers have now, tell us and see how to solve them?"

Guan Duo pondered, and said: "I still miss my hometown. If His Majesty can grant it, then it's best to live on."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, let's make a note of this matter, and let Mr. Zhang arrange it himself later."

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Please rest assured, my lord, and General Guan. Many people from the troops of Li Wu and Cui De of the Northern Expedition to the West Route Army have returned to their hometowns. Maybe you will be able to catch up with each other then!"

Guan Duo was not surprised to see Mao Gui, but he was really surprised that Li Wu and Cui De were still there!

Mao Gui, who was next to him, talked about the matter of persuading Li Siqi to surrender.

After Guan Duo listened to it, he was also filled with emotion and admiration.It is said that the enemy will be defeated without fighting, but this sentence is easier said than done.

Especially dominating one side, saying one thing, who is willing to be a small person in a low voice and obey other people's orders?

It can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very capable, and he subdued local snakes one after another, from Fang Guozhen to Mao Gui, and then to Li Siqi, and of course he also included Guan Duo.

Destiny belongs, there is nothing to say.

Guan Duo became more submissive and bowed to the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, do you think Guan Duo's merits can be knighted?"

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes, and suddenly understood what Lao Zhu meant.

Restoring the homeland, drinking Yanshan, and conferring heroes are naturally the meaning of the title. The previous few conferments were not formal, and the scale was not large enough.

Today, it's time to reward Daming's heroes.

Guan Duo commanded the Central Route Army of the Northern Expedition, made long-distance detours, and completely shattered the order of the Yuan court in the grassland. Such credit is indeed extraordinary.

However, his credit is all under Liu Futong's subordinates, so it's not good to go too far, so as not to hurt the hearts of people on his side.

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and said: "My lord, with the achievements of General Guan, it seems that he can be granted the title of Uncle Weiyuan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and looked to both sides, mainly to see the meaning of his generals, and then Lao Zhu thought about it again, and then said: "We should still be Marquis Weiyuan! He is under Song Gong."

Song Gong is naturally Han Shantong, and Zhu Yuanzhang's award shows the pattern. He is not only limited to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also considers the entire Red Scarf Army.

Guan Duo never expected that he would be granted the title of Marquis, which was really unexpected.

"Your Majesty, minister, I am ashamed to be a minister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You not only conquered Shangdu, but also conquered Goryeo and made a name for yourself in foreign lands. Based on this alone, Marquis Weiyuan deserves his name! In the future, all the generals under our command will be able to perform as well as you, and we will not hesitate to reward them! "

These few words gave Guan Duo a reassurance and made the rest of the generals feel at ease.

Our rewards are not random, you guys all have a share.

After Guan Duo thanked God, he stood up, his face flushed red, and he was very excited.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides gathered and entered the predetermined venue.

Soldiers have already leveled the land, prepared tables and chairs, and arranged banquets.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yanshan Mountain, raised his eyes to the sea, and said with a smile: "This is really a good place...Mr. Zhang, Mr. Fenglin, do you know any allusions here?"

Zhu Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I remember that Qin Shihuang had been here when he was touring the world. When Qin Shihuang sent alchemists to search for the medicine of immortality, it was also here."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Although the first emperor was a hero, he was obsessed with longevity in his later years. After all, it is a white jade with a slight flaw!"

At this time, Zhang Ximeng also smiled and said: "I remember that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also visited this place, and Emperor Qin and Han Wu all preferred this place. From this we can see that it is really beautiful and unique!"

At this time, Liu Bowen, who was going north with the army, suddenly said: "Zhang Xiang, in fact, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty also stayed here, and Emperor Wu of Wei also watched the scenery here. The song facing Jieshi to the east to see the sea is talking about this place!"

Zhang Ximeng clapped his palms and laughed, "So this place is Jieshi! My lord chose this place all at once, could it be that he has a close relationship with the emperors and sages of the past?"

Old Zhu was taken aback. In fact, when he chose this place, he really didn't think so much about it. He just thought that since he wanted to drink Yanshan Mountain and celebrate the victory, he needed a large enough venue, sufficient food and drinks, so it must be convenient for transportation.

Running up the mountain is really a waste of time and money, and you can't eat or drink well.

It is better to choose the seaside, which is more convenient.

It's just that I didn't expect that, by such a coincidence, I thought of being together with so many colleagues!

Emperor Qin and Han Wu used to tour here, Wei Wu waved his whip, and Taizong stayed here.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is here to drink Yanshan again. This small place is really a treasured place of geomantic omen.

Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Ming Zu.

It's all together.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, let's take a break for now, there is no place for him in this group of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang gazed at the distant sea and meditated deeply, as if he could travel through time and space, discussing the truth with those seniors, and talking freely.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's prepare a banquet! Let's have a good drink with the big guys and talk about what's on our minds!"

Chapter 566 The King

Between the mountains and the sea, the mountains are undulating, and the sea and sky are magnificent.

Eating at this place definitely requires a bit of imagination.

Fortunately, there were many cooks in the Ming army.It specializes in big pot dishes, with sufficient ingredients and good taste.And near the sea, seafood is not worth much.

A few days in advance, boil the broth, then add abalone, sea cucumber, isinglass, deer tendon, goose palm, etc., and share a pot with each person.You can say that Buddha jumps over the wall, and it is almost the same if you say it is Poon Choi.

Anyway, just such a pot of heroes gathered together, the wild seafood stewed in a big way, raised the banquet dishes to a higher level.

Although the venue of the banquet is south of Shanhaiguan, there is no doubt that it belongs to the western Liaoning cultural circle.

To entertain distinguished guests with Northeast stew, I can only say, old iron, there is nothing wrong with it!

In addition, there are roast ducks, roast geese, roast pork chops, stews, and small barbecues... Most of these things are raised in the army to supply soldiers with meals.

There is no problem in borrowing it.
