Chapter 602 Unification
The mountains are like the sea, the setting sun is like blood, and on the gray prairie filled with a desolate atmosphere, soldiers are cleaning the battlefield.
The generals headed by Li Jing, Qi Jiguang, Yue Fei and Hu Dakui were eagerly waiting for the emperor's return.
roar
The roar of the dragon shook the sky continuously, the colorful clouds surged, and the bright light was as bright as the sun. Zhu Houzhao drove the golden dragon back from the sky.
"See Your Majesty."
All the generals hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.
"No need."
Zhu Houzhao landed firmly, waved his hand to indicate to the generals that there was no need to be polite, and then asked Li Jing: "Li Qing, how is the battle going?"
A smile appeared on Li Jing's steady face and he replied: "Thanks to the blessing of our emperor, our army completely defeated the allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties. Xu Da, Zhang Fu, Lan Yu and other generals were captured, and our army won a great victory."
Zhu Houzhao didn't care whether the others died or not, but Empress Ma and Empress Xu must not die.
After arranging everything, Zhu Houzhao left first. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the country.
"Your Majesty Li Jing, please fight!"
Yue Fei accepted Zhu Houzhao's order.
"For Your Majesty's great cause, I am willing to be a pioneer."
Empress Ma and Empress Xu are both heroic women with strong personalities. If they learn about the defeat of Lao Zhu Zhu Di and others, there is no guarantee that they will not die for their country.
"My lord, I will obey the emperor's orders!"
He was just worried about how Zhu Houzhao would treat his veterans after handing over the Hongzhi Dynasty to Zhu Houzhao, or to be more precise, he was worried about how many of his veterans would survive.
"In the years to come, my dynasty should be the one who guides the glory of the Ming Dynasty."
They were the key to Zhu Houzhao's subjugation of old Zhu Zhudi. They had to be alive to be useful, so Zhu Houzhao specially ordered the generals to prevent them from seeking death and survival.
"From now on, I want there to be no more Hongwu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but only Hongwu Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said: "The Thirteen Emperors headed by Taizu and Yongle have been defeated in my hands. The allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties were defeated by Li Jing, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Hu Dakui and other generals."
All the generals expressed their opinions that war is a man's romance, and it is also the glory of the military.
I had just returned to the Leopard Room, and before I had time to repair myself for a while and listen to Zhu Qiyuan's report on the situation, a group of veterans couldn't wait to come to see them.
"I will unify the Ming Dynasty and there will be no hindrance from now on."
Wang Hao, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Hong Zhong, Liu Yu, Wang Qiong, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Mao.
All those who had been at home on leave and those who supported the unification war came and wanted to know how the war was going.
The disappearance of Liu Daxia and the tragic end of Liu Jian and Xie Qian made him see clearly Zhu Houzhao's character and methods.
The calm and steady Li Jing made Zhu Houzhao feel at ease, nodded slightly, and said deliberately: "Remember, don't hurt Empress Ma and other relatives of Emperor Hongwu."
"Your Majesty, I wonder how the battle is going on the front line?"
"Li Jing listens to the order."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yue Fei: "Pengju, the Yongle Dynasty will be left to you. Likewise, Queen Xu is not allowed to be harmed at all."
Although the Hongzhi Dynasty did not participate in the war, and Zhu Houzhao did not force himself, Zhu Youtang understood that under the general trend, the Hongzhi Dynasty would never be able to survive alone.
Looking at the generals who looked tired but could not hide their excitement, Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to praise him: "Our court can achieve such a great victory thanks to the heroic fighting of all your ministers. I am very relieved. I will wait for my master to return to the court again."
Congratulations to all your ministers."
Li Jing also knew the seriousness of the matter and responded solemnly: "I understand what to do."
Regardless of whether he was his own son, Zhu Youtang didn't care much about the throne and power. Ever since Empress Dowager Zhang left, he had thought of abdicating the throne, so it was okay to leave the Hongzhi Dynasty to Zhu Houzhao.
Li Jing bowed respectfully, his heart racing with excitement.
The Thirteen Emperors were defeated at the hands of Zhu Houzhao, the allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties were defeated, and the situation of the sixteenth dynasties no longer existed. The future Ming Dynasty will be Zhu Houzhao's world.
A large number of prisoners were left in the gray prairie, which was not conducive to the generals leading their armies to attack the Thirteen Dynasties.
"I understand."
Wang Hao was the first to ask.
Veteran ministers, no matter how old they were, as long as they were not of the same mind as him, he would dare to suppress or even kill them.
Empress Ma, Zhu Xiongying and others are his biggest bargaining chips to force Lao Zhu to surrender, so nothing can go wrong.
With the strength of one dynasty, they fought against the allied forces of thirteen dynasties and actually won.
With the domineering nature of his son, he would not allow the Hongzhi Dynasty to stray from the general trend. Now it is safe and sound, but sooner or later it will be annexed.
After defeating the allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties, the generals were full of fighting spirit, and all of them were in a state of excitement, hoping to take this opportunity to make immortal achievements.
"I'm here."
The words mixed with a bit of pride shook the spirits of the ministers, and what followed was an unparalleled shock.
With Zhu Houzhao's figure appearing in his eyes, Emperor Hongzhi murmured to himself.
Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui has been captured, so there is no need to worry too much.
"I order you to lead the Wuwei Army to directly attack the mainland of Hongwu Dynasty and incorporate Hongwu Dynasty into our territory."
Win?
"I hope you are all well!"
To turn a dynasty into a state, the emperor is so majestic that he should do his best to help the emperor achieve it.
"My son, for my father, I will fulfill your ambition."
Although they are closely related by flesh and blood, father and son are close relatives, Zhu Houzhao would not listen to him. Otherwise, King An would not have been imprisoned by Zhu Houzhao for thousands of years, and he did not regain his freedom until the death of Queen Mother Zhang.
Liu Lu attacked the Hongxi Dynasty, Hu Dakui attacked the Xuande Dynasty, Chen Jiuchou attacked the Jingtai Dynasty, Su Dingfang attacked the Chenghua Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang attacked the Jiajing Dynasty.
After all arrangements were completed, Zhu Houzhao told the generals: "When the ministers attack each dynasty, they can spread the news. The emperors of each dynasty are still alive, so do not make fearless resistance."
"However, although the allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties were defeated, the mainland is still intact and is not under our control. We, the monarchs and ministers, still need to work hard to complete the great cause of unifying the mountains and rivers."
I was worried, but there was nothing I could do. I could only hope that the veterans would be more aware of the current affairs and not go against Zhu Houzhao, otherwise he would not be able to save those people.
"Wherever your majesty's sword comes, no one dares to fight."
"The unification of mountains and rivers is such an unparalleled achievement. If you can't participate in it, it will be a lifelong regret."
Hongzhi Dynasty
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, great, the long-lasting achievements have been accomplished today!"
"Our army is advancing towards the mainland of each dynasty, and the unification of the Ming Dynasty is a foregone conclusion."
"it's over."
After destroying the Thirteen Dynasties, collecting the Hongzhi Dynasty, and unifying the Sixteen Dynasties, his grand plan is about to be completed.
Participating in the battle to unify the Ming Dynasty will be a rare highlight moment in their lives. They all want to make great military exploits, leave their names in the history books, and pass them down to future generations.
Preventing Zhu Houzhao from being embarrassed by the relationship between father and son was the last thing he could do for Zhu Houzhao.
All the generals asked for battle one after another, and Zhu Houzhao was filled with pride and said impassionedly: "I know the aspirations of all the ministers in my heart, and my ambitions are also known to all the ministers. We, the monarchs and ministers, no longer need to be polite. It is inevitable to unify the Ming Dynasty."
OK."
Before leaving, he did not forget to use the art of Qiankun in his sleeves to take away the captured soldiers of the various dynasties.
The soul reflected the sky and the earth, and the situation of the battle was clearly clear in his mind. Emperor Hongzhi let out a long sigh.
All the ministers felt like they were still in a dream.
At the beginning, they actually didn't think Zhu Houzhao would win. After all, after fighting thirteen dynasties in one dynasty, no matter how you look at it, this dynasty will not have an advantage. It would be good if it could remain undefeated and protect its existing territory.
Unexpectedly, instead of being defeated, our dynasty won the battle and fought a very beautiful crushing battle. The Allied Forces of the Thirteen Dynasties were defeated, and their troops advanced into the mainland of the Thirteen Dynasties. This dynasty was really going to unify the Ming Dynasty.
It's still a bit unbelievable when I think about it.
