First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60: Admiral Tiance



The elders in the court saw that it was almost done, Xu Daxian cupped his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness is right. It is indeed time for Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to recover!

Li Shanchang also bowed and said: The court's materials are still sufficient, and it is worthwhile to use some reserves to recover Yanyun.

Chang Yuchun simply knelt down on the ground: Your Majesty, what the prince said is exactly what I think in my heart. The horse farms left by the Yuan court in my Ming Dynasty will be reclaimed into fertile fields. If the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are not recovered I will be short of horses again tomorrow!

Zhu Yuanzhang scanned the audience, and the rest of the ministers also knelt down and said, I agree with what His Royal Highness said, and I beg Your Majesty to send troops to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and said dignifiedly: In this case, then prepare to send troops! Soldiers are important matters for the country, the land of death and life, and the way of survival. I don't know which love is willing to recover the treasure land for me?

Zhu Biao straightened his waist and said loudly: Father, my son, please fight!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case: Absurd! How can there be a prince of a country who leads the army!

The eyes of the censors below turned red immediately: Your Majesty is wise, His Royal Highness is the foundation of the country, how can you move lightly! Your Highness, please think twice, the matter of fighting has its own King Zhongshan and King Kaiping, why should Your Highness take risks with himself!

Zhu Biao listened to the words of the censors behind him. Although they were holding him back, Zhu Biao didn't blame them.

It is unreasonable for the prince to go to war, and if there is any turmoil in the country, it will be his life.

But if Zhu Biao wants to truly change Daming, then this battle is indispensable. Only by embellishing it with martial arts can the power be more majestic and thick!

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun didn't speak, but waited for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang calmly: My son grew up in the inner courtyard of the deep palace since he was a child. Fortunately, he was favored by his father and won the position of prince. Now, this year, he has contributed to the country with fourteen inches of merit. I am ashamed! Please, father Enzhun let my son go out with the army to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and my son is willing to be a pawn to lead the horse and hold the whip for the commander!

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold face: My Ming Dynasty does not lack a pawn! Zhu Biao, since you want to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, you dare to bear all the consequences. Can you bear the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops? !

Zhu Biao stood up and said solemnly: My son is willing to issue a military order!

Chang Yuchun said at this time: Your Majesty's dragon and phoenix are as beautiful as the sky, and he will be able to lead the army to restore Yanyun. I am willing to assist Your Highness in the vanguard. I ask for your Majesty's permission!

At this time, those who still can't understand the situation are not worthy of standing in the hall. The civil and military officials immediately rushed to plead for the prince.

Most of these people were also the subjects of the Eastern Palace, so naturally they would not hold back Zhu Biao, all kinds of praises for Zhu Biao came out for a while, and there was a kind of momentum that Zhu Biao could not help the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed satisfaction, but his expression was still stern, and he said: Since the ministers are begging for you, I will give this opportunity, but if you lose the battle, you will bear the consequences!

After Zhu Biao made his promise loudly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to prepare the imperial decree and wrote it himself.

Naturally, all civil and military officials stopped, and there was no idiot who asked what the consequences of defeat would be?

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished writing, he did not read it out, but was handed over to Zhu Biao directly. He stood up and said, The land of Yanyun is the homeland of our Han people. How can it be allowed to be invaded by foreigners? I appointed the crown prince Zhu Biao as Tiance Admiral Leading an army of 300,000 troops to the north to regain lost ground, Kaiping King Chang Yuchun is the right general, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong is the left general, Chengyi Bo Liu Ji is joining the army, Yongchang Hou Lanyu is the vanguard...

Zhu Biao took the imperial decree with both hands, and his heart jumped for joy. He knew that he must be the commander in chief, but he never thought that his father would designate him as Tiance Admiral!

This is the official position of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. There was no second place in the Tang Dynasty, and the configuration this time is quite luxurious. In addition to Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and Liu Bowen, there are twelve other marquises who are good at fighting. !

Zhu Biao led the generals of the Northern Expedition to bow down to Zhu Yuanzhang and lead the decree together!

Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the Ministry of Households to organize the preparation of grain and grass materials, especially in the cold in the north, which required enough warm clothes.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered these soldiers to go directly to the East Palace to report without having to go to court from tomorrow, and to discuss with Admiral Tiance about the expedition!

Then it was announced that the imperial court was coming down, but this time the officials did not leave directly, but looked at the freshly released General Tiance, and began to think in their hearts whether the daughter of the right age in the family could be sent to the Crown Prince's East Palace.

Originally, although everyone respected the prince, they couldn't be too eager to say it. After all, the emperor was in the prime of his life when he was in his prime, and they only needed to serve the emperor well.

But it's different now, Admiral Tiance! From here, we can see how much the emperor loves the prince, and what expectations he has for the prince.

Since ancient times, no emperor can trust his son with an elite army of 300,000 troops.

All the ministers bowed to Zhu Biao and cupped their hands and said, The ministers congratulate General Tiance!

Zhu Biao turned to face the ministers and said with a calm expression: Thank you all for helping me speak, I will never let down the expectations of the Holy Majesty and the Qing family, and will definitely restore Yanyun Sixteen for my Ming Dynasty. state!

After talking about Zhu Biao, he stopped talking to them, and directly led the generals to the East Palace.

Along the way, Zhu Biao was in front, and Chang Yuchun and Liu Ji were one step behind. According to their status, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong should have accompanied Zhu Biao, but Li Wenzhong also followed Zhu Yuanzhang step by step and naturally knew. Liu Bowen's ability, so he naturally pushed Liu Bowen to the front.

No one spoke along the way, and went directly into the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace, where besides books, there was a detailed topographic map of the Yanyun area.

After everyone sat down, Yun Jin led the maids to serve tea, and then they all retreated, leaving only Liu Jin in the room to look after them.

Zhu Biao took a sip from his teacup and said, This battle is only allowed to win, not to lose! I also hope that all the generals will work together to help this general.

Chang Yuchun swept his eyes, and then led everyone to stand up and knelt on one knee and shouted: The last general will die as the general!

Zhu Biao nodded and said: You are all famous players on the battlefield, you have your own sense of what to do, don't let this general down!

After everyone agreed in unison, Zhu Biao discussed with them about the expedition.

Don't think that going to war in ancient times was an easy task, because the preparations in the early stage are complicated.

Zhu Biao sat at the head and said: Your Majesty's decree has been issued, and the Ministry of Finance should start to deploy the armor and equipment of the army. You should go to Lanyu to watch for the lack of equipment and food, and report it in time to make up for it.

Armor and weapons must be carefully inspected to see if the armor is rotten and rusty, whether the war bow is cracked and missing strings, whether the firearms are wet, and whether the knives, guns and sticks are all usable. All cleaned up and replaced.

If there is any concealment and non-reporting, but when the battle is due to lack of equipment as an excuse to shirk not to fight, it will be dealt with by military law!
