Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Upon hearing this, both Emperor Tianyuan and King Qi were stunned, and then looked at Hari Zhang with some suspicion on his smiling face!

Who is Chen Jian?

They knew very well that his mother was a slave girl and his father was a small leader of the Wala tribe. He was not even a high-level official, but could only be considered a middle-level general.

It can be said that Chen Jian's background is not glorious, but this kid is very stubborn. He is cruel to others and even crueler to himself. He has made a name for himself at a young age. Emperor Tianyuan and King Qi have tried to win him over many times, but he rejected them all.

Afterwards, Chen Jian lived up to everyone's expectations and grew up from an unknown soldier to a captain in the Oirat tribe, whose power was second only to the Oirat Khan!

What did this kid do next? He killed his father... Anyone who bullied him was tortured to death by him using the most cruel means.

In just ten years, no less than a thousand people from the Central Plains died at his hands!

After collecting his thoughts, Wang Baobao stood up immediately and said in surprise, "Grand Master, you are not mistaken! Chen Jian has several hundred personal guards around him..."

Having said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he took a breath. He stared at Hari Zhang and said in shock: "If I'm not mistaken, the person who killed Chen Jian should be Lin An!"

Ha Ci Zhang patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It was indeed that Lin An. Moreover, according to my people, Lin An not only killed Chen Jian, but also Xiaobai, his most powerful general, and even hundreds of his personal guards were wiped out!"

At this point, Hari Zhang sighed, "If what he said is true, Lin An is truly terrifying!"

Emperor Tianyuan also showed a look of surprise at this moment, then stretched out his hand and took the battle report from the front line. Looking at the content of the battle report, even the usually steady Emperor Tianyuan was shocked!

He could no longer remain calm. After swallowing hard, he looked at Wang Baobao and said in great surprise, "Is this Lin An really a doctor?"

Wang Baobao nodded and said "hmm"!

Turbulent shock filled everyone present!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. There was such a monstrous person in this world!

Emperor Tianyuan's breathing slowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Win him over at all costs! If he truly cannot be used by me, then kill him at all costs! People like him...will ascend to heaven in the future!"

The meaning of ascending to heaven is naturally to become king and dominate!

Even if he didn't understand Lin An, whom he had never met, he knew the character of this kind of person and knew that he would definitely not be willing to be inferior to others.

He has already missed one Zhu Yuanzhang, and he must not miss the second Zhu Yuanzhang again!

After a pause, Emperor Tianyuan continued, "I am conveying the highest instructions to you. There is no upper limit on the conditions for winning him over. Even if it means handing over the Great Yuan Dynasty to you and co-governing the Yuan court in Mobei with him, I will agree!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao and Hari Zhang were both stunned and stood there, extremely shocked!

After a long while, the two of them bowed and said, "I obey your command!"

……

Nanjing Imperial City

The imperial city has been a little uneasy these days!

For a country, war is essentially a large-scale war of attrition!

Baggage, food, and manpower all require a huge investment, and the Ming Dynasty has only been established for fifteen years. In order to pacify the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, wars have been fought almost every year. The treasury is empty, and the country has to draw on the people who have not yet fully recovered!

And now, wars broke out on both the north and the south. In the north, 15 armies attacked the Oirat tribe, and in the south, Lan Yu’s 300,000 troops attacked the Yuan Liangwang tribe in Yunnan. The huge consumption now made the newly born Ming Empire on the verge of collapse!

At this moment, in the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he looked at the memorial about the refugees' rebellion.

There are a total of 450,000 troops in the north and south. The daily food and fodder expenses are an astronomical figure. Not to mention military pay, food, and baggage, which requires the conscription of hundreds of thousands of farmers!

If these were levied on every farmer, the burden would undoubtedly be extremely heavy, even to the point where it would be unsustainable.

Some people could not survive, and groups of farmers had no choice but to take the path of rebellion, just like decades ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not survive, joined the rebel army!

Zhu Yuanzhang was reading these memorials about rebellions in various places with overwhelming anger, his eyes flashing with an extremely cold storm. After reading the last one, he curled his lips and said to the eunuch beside him:

"Issue an order! All officials whose territories are affected by rebellious refugees will be beheaded and publicly displayed. All officials in the county and prefectural governments will be exiled, and their families will be assigned to the Imperial Music Bureau!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was light, but to the eunuch's ears, it was like a thunderclap. He swallowed hard. With just one sentence, he decided the life and death of tens of thousands of people!

You know, a county government office has dozens or even hundreds of officials, big and small. But if their families are included, even the smallest office may have hundreds of people!

I wonder how many heads will fall to the ground after this imperial decree is issued!

The eunuch forgot to react for a moment until the pressure on his head suddenly became heavier. Then he quickly reacted, shouted "I obey your order," and then ran over quickly!

When he stepped over the threshold, he accidentally fell. Even though his knees and palms were bleeding, the eunuch did not dare to stop and ran away as if something terrifying was chasing him from behind!

Zhu Biao was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang furious and killing people, he just sighed slightly. These memorials were delivered to the emperor through him. Even if he wanted to protect these things, he couldn't!

You know, for so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption among officials and the oppression of the people the most. Now this group of people actually forced the people to rebel. Even if it was for the purpose of supplying military supplies to the front, they still deserved death!

"Father!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a bit, Zhu Biao stepped forward and whispered, "There's a refugee kneeling outside the palace, holding the Great Edict..."

Having said this, Zhu Biao paused.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao doubtfully and said, "Go on!"

Zhu Biao said in embarrassment: "That refugee said some extremely treasonous words, but the patrolling soldiers saw him holding the "Great Edict" and did not dare to arrest him. The relevant officials were also undecided and did not know whether to arrest him..."

Zhu Biao's words were stammering, and Zhu Yuanzhang frowned immediately. He then asked, "What treasonous words did you say? Tell me in detail!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his tone did not fluctuate much, which made Zhu Biao unable to understand the emperor's thoughts for a while. He swallowed his saliva and said tentatively:

"Such as being cut into pieces, betraying the peasants, and so on. In short, all those dirty words used by the people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, which scared Zhu Biao. Then he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Let's go and meet that man!"
