Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

But if I can return to the court before the New Year, I will definitely be crowned king! The soldiers can also be crowned marquises and generals. If we wait until spring, then there will be no merits at all, as there are only a few enemy troops.

"Even if we two soldiers can't get one enemy, after the front army charges, they will start to clean up the battlefield, and the ones behind will catch up, and they won't get anything. Even the reward money can't be distributed to everyone, do you understand?"

"But now it's snowing outside, the north wind is howling, and it's snowing heavily. Everything outside is white. It's not easy to fight. We have to climb on ice and lie in the snow. It's a bit difficult."

The deputy general said.

Li Jinglong shook his head, "No, no, no, you didn't understand the key point of what I said."

"What's the key?" asked the deputy general in confusion.

Seeing this, Li Jinglong put down the hand warmer.

"The most urgent task is to find the key problem. What is the key problem? It is to find the key to the problem. If we cannot find the key in the key problem, key field, or key link, and we do not grasp the key, then we cannot solve the problem. If we cannot find the key problem and cannot solve the key to the problem, then this will be troublesome. But what is the key? The key is whether you can be accurate, ruthless, and fast. This is the most urgent task now."

After hearing what Li Jinglong said, the deputy general was speechless. Aren’t you just talking nonsense?

"General, can you speak human language?"

Li Jinglong smiled and shook his head, "Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"General, since the Jurchens have asked for surrender, why don't you accept it? Instead, you have to order preparations for war. What if the court agrees?"

The deputy general looked at Li Jinglong with some confusion and asked.

Li Jinglong raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile. "The court will not agree to this. If we destroy the Jurchens, we can get more. So why should the court accept their surrender? Do you really think that a hundred thousand troops hurriedly marched to Xuanfu just to enjoy the snow scenery?"

The deputy general frowned and asked in confusion, "Since you don't plan to negotiate, why are you training your troops and accepting the gift from the Jurchens? What are you doing?"

Li Jinglong stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, then turned around and patted the deputy general on the shoulder, "I am the general, but you have been a deputy general for so many years. In war, attacking the heart is the most important thing, attacking the body is the second. I will let them tremble in fear for a while, and temper their psychology. When the court responds, we will start the war immediately."

The deputy general scratched his head and nodded as if he understood.

"Oh...so that's it."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Now you should train your troops well and be fully prepared to fight at any time."

The deputy general immediately straightened up and said, "Yes!"

Although he did not fully understand Li Jinglong's strategy, he knew that obeying orders was a soldier's duty.

Li Jinglong looked at his deputy general with satisfaction and nodded. He was secretly proud of himself and couldn't help but start thinking, what kind of kingship would Zhu Yunhuan give him?

This is really exciting.

However, the one who was more looking forward to it than Li Jinglong was Lan Yu. Lan Yu was leading his army back to the court, and they were less than ten days away from the capital.

Lan Yu was riding a tall horse with a roasted chicken in his hand.

"It's snowing so heavily. Auspicious snow means a good harvest. It's a good sign, very auspicious. When I go back, I will be the king, hahaha." Lan Yu was thinking all the way, where would Zhu Yunhuan grant him, how big a place would he grant him, and what kind of kingship would he grant him?

Well... all Lan Yu wants is to sleep. A king who is granted land and territory should at least be treated like a prince of the royal family.

You can’t treat a king of a different surname as someone other than a king.

"General, how can you be so sure that the court will make you a king? You have made meritorious contributions while serving your sentence." Xu Yungong said.

Lan Yu chuckled, "Destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty was a meritorious service, and the merits and demerits offset each other. But wiping out Mongolia, conquering the Wolf's Lair for the second time, and bringing all the vast grasslands back to the Ming Dynasty, which has enhanced our country's prestige, isn't this a new achievement?"

"It's a pity that Emperor Yuan escaped. Although many royal family members and ministers were captured, it is still a pity that Emperor Yuan escaped." Zhu Gang sighed.

Zhu Chong said, "Old Third, you still have the nerve to say that. You played dirty tricks on me and took the flag while I wasn't paying attention."

"Second brother, that's not what I meant. This is called all is fair in war. What reward can we get for our meritorious service? We are already princes, what reward can we get?" Zhu Gang directly changed the subject.

Zhu Chong shook his head. "It's nothing more than some privileges or something like that, or it could benefit descendants, right? After all, it's impossible to be named a general of Tiance, haha."

"I haven't been back to Beijing for more than half a year. The air in Ming Dynasty is still the best. There is no smell of mutton. When I entered the inland area of Ming Dynasty, I ate two more bowls of rice. I don't know if anything happened in Beijing during the half year we were away from Beijing." Lan Yu sighed.

Zhu Chong replied, "What kind of trouble can happen in the capital? The Shenjiying is not there to eat and do nothing."

A group of adopted sons: Yes, yes, yes, nothing big happened in the capital, but something big is going to happen to our adopted father.

"I will return to the capital to present the captives to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I will then take a good rest for a while. I will not argue with you, my second brother, about capturing Emperor Yuan alive." Zhu Gang said with a smile.

Zhu Chong rolled his eyes, "Who wants to go to Tianzhu? I don't want to go. I don't want this credit. I just want Your Majesty to let me go back to my fiefdom. My wife and children are waiting for me."

Zhu Yunhuan: Second uncle, you don’t have to go back to your fiefdom. You can be reunited with your wife and children in the capital.
