Chapter 605 Unification of mountains and rivers

The allied forces of the Thirteen Dynasties were defeated and each dynasty's homeland was empty. The Taiwu Dynasty's Thirteenth Route Army was unstoppable and successfully attacked the capitals of each dynasty.

Hongwu Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion

When Li Jing led the Wuwei army to the city, everyone in the Hongwu Dynasty was still in a state of confusion. No one could have imagined that Lao Zhu, who was destined by fate, would be defeated by Zhu Houzhao.

But the Hongwu Dynasty was the Hongwu Dynasty after all. Empress Ma, Zhu Xiongying, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian and others were all extraordinary people, and they quickly organized an army to defend the city.

On top of the city tower, Empress Ma personally put on her armor and went into battle, angrily asking Li Jing: "Li Jing, if you are not assisting your emperor in the gray prairie, how dare you come to my court and act so arrogantly?"

Li Jing knew that this was Empress Ma's test, and respectfully replied: "Emperor Hongwu and the kings of other dynasties have been defeated by our Emperor Taiwu, and all the coalition forces of the thirteen dynasties have been destroyed. Empress Ma should not make any fearless resistance.

"

"Your Majesty, I express my deepest respect for Queen Ma and ask me not to be rude. I ask Queen Ma not to embarrass me."

He has spread the news that Lao Zhu is not dead according to Zhu Houzhao's instructions. Queen Ma will know it. Now, it depends on what Queen Ma chooses.

Empress Ma took a deep look at Li Jing. With her high political intelligence, how could she not see Zhu Houzhao's plan?

Before Lao Zhu died, it would be impossible to reestablish a new emperor to stabilize the situation. Zhu Xiongying's prestige was far less than that of Lao Zhu, and she could not ignore Lao Zhu.

What a naked conspiracy.

He sighed secretly in his heart, looked at Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and other important ministers of Hongwu, and made a final struggle: "Our court is facing a great disaster, what strategies do you have for retreating from the enemy?"

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, Liu Sanwu, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others looked at each other and were speechless.

Retreat the enemy?

They are all civil servants, not military generals. They are all masters of intrigues and power-playing, but they are really not very good at fighting.

They all knew in their hearts that the elites of the Hongwu Dynasty had gone to the gray prairie to join the battle, and Yingtian's remaining soldiers were no match for Li Jing's mighty army. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not change the fact of defeat.

Unless time can be turned back, there is absolutely no way to escape the annexation of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Some people are even thinking about how to cater to Zhu Houzhao and find a good future in the post-unification Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Queen Ma immediately understood that these ministers were helpless and did not embarrass them. She looked at Zhu Xiongying who was also deep in thought and asked: "Xiongying, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiongying came back to his senses and sighed helplessly: "Royal Grandma, the matter has come to this point, you and I are powerless, so just surrender!"

"Zhu Houzhao is also a member of my Zhu family, so I don't expect him to be too harsh on me."

"Besides, the imperial grandfather and father are still in Zhu Houzhao's hands. Even if we don't surrender, what can we do?"

Trained by Lao Zhu and influenced by Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying is outstanding in both character and ability.

At this critical moment, the first thing he thought about was the safety of his grandfather and biological father, rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to seek a big position. He and Zhu Yunwen were simply two extremes.

If he were to change places, with Zhu Yunwen's coolness, he would definitely not care about Lao Zhu's life or death, and he would first satisfy the emperor's addiction.

Lao Zhu's love for this grandson was not in vain.

Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Xiongying distressedly. This precious grandson had the opportunity to become a holy king, but he was born at the wrong time and missed it after all.

But Zhu Xiongying's sensibleness also made her deeply gratified. She patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder and said softly: "My child, I'm sorry for you."

Grandfather and grandson have already made up their minds. They cannot ignore Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

They can defend Yingtian. No matter how powerful Li Jing's military force is, they will not be able to do anything to them for a while, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

If Zhu Houzhao becomes angry because of this and directly kills Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Empress Ma and Zhu Xiongying did not dare to bet on Zhu Houzhao's character, and they did not think that Zhu Houzhao did not have the courage to kill his ancestors and wipe out his clan.

The lessons learned from Zhu Qizhen are still before our eyes!

People like Zhu Houzhao only have imperial power and country in their minds, and so-called blood relatives cannot restrain him.

"General Li, our court can surrender unconditionally, but you must guarantee the safety of our emperor and my son Zhu Biao."

In one sentence, it announced the end of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Yongle Dynasty, Beijing

All the city defense formations were deployed to fully protect the capital.

The formation is connected to the earth's veins, and until the power of the earth's veins is exhausted, the capital city is indestructible.

No matter how elite the Taiwu Dynasty's army was, it was just a collection of human power and could not compete with the power of heaven and earth.

However, no matter how strong the city defense formation is, there are still some things that cannot be guarded against, just like the human heart.

Zhu Di was defeated, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were captured. The Yongle Dynasty lacked people who could take charge. Empress Xu was unable to support herself. San Yang, Xia Yuanji and others could only keep the situation stable.

In the end, Queen Xu led Yongle ministers to Kaicheng and surrendered.

Zhu Di has fallen into the hands of Zhu Houzhao, so what's the use of defending the capital.

Xiaokang Dynasty, surrender!

Hongxi Dynasty, surrender!

Xuande Dynasty, surrender!

Jingtai Dynasty, surrender!

During the Chenghua Dynasty, Concubine Wan Guifei still tried to resist and support Zhu Jianshen's son to ascend the throne. Unfortunately, in the face of the absolute power gap, everything was in vain.

The capital of the Chenghua Dynasty was forcibly breached and Concubine Wan Gui was captured alive. However, no one dared to kill the relatives of the royal family of each dynasty without receiving orders from Zhu Houzhao.

Jiajing Dynasty, surrender!

Long Qingchao, surrender!

During the Wanli Dynasty, Zhu Yijun's favorite son, the main ingredient of the "Fu Lu Banquet", Fu Wang Zhu Changxun felt that he was quite capable, so he thought of struggling, but in the end, he was beaten until he surrendered obediently.

Taichang Dynasty, this dynasty is interesting.

Zhu Changluo gave birth to too many sons, and he only cared about having children but not raising them. As a result, Zhu Changluo's sons had little affection for him at all.

When they heard that Zhu Changluo had fallen into the hands of Zhu Houzhao, none of his sons panicked. Instead, they actively broke up the soil and made kings, carving up the land of the Taichang Dynasty.

By the time the Taiwu Dynasty's army arrived, the Taichang Dynasty was already at war with thousands of extra kings, so the Taiwu Dynasty's army had to quell the chaos one by one, which took more time than other dynasties.

Apocalypse descends!

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Cixiang, who was guided and trained by Zhu Houzhao, was ruthless, domineering and tough, and still wanted to turn the tide, but when faced with the elite army led by Kou Zhong, he still chose to learn the way of following one's heart.

Hongwu, Xiaokang

Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Jingtai, Chenghua

Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, Chongzhen

The mainland of each dynasty was captured. In the Hongwu Dynasty, under the operation of Liang Chu, a large number of reserve officials were sent to the mainland of each dynasty to replace the original officials and handle various post-war matters.

To implement the Taiwu Dynasty's policy, conduct population census, and measure land are all tasks that must be completed.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, except for Zhu Youtang's Hongzhi Dynasty.

Before Zhu Qiyuan set off for the Hongzhi Dynasty, Zhu Youtang came to see Zhu Houzhao and asked two questions: whether it was important or not, and whether it was important or not.

Of course it was not important to Zhu Houzhao, but it was very important to Zhu Youtang. If the problem was not solved, he would not trust Hongzhi Dynasty to Zhu Houzhao.

"How do you plan to deal with my old ministers?"

This is Zhu Youtang's first question.

Zhu Hou looked at him and said without changing his expression: "Choose those who are capable and use them; select those who are incompetent and discard them."

His answer made Zhu Youtang frown. He was not too satisfied, but he also knew that this was Zhu Houzhao's bottom line.

The difference between those who are capable and those who are incompetent lies in being able to use it and being unable to use it. To put it simply, those who are obedient can use it, and those who are disobedient can understand it.

Zhu Houzhao always liked obedient ministers. Those who were disobedient would either be suppressed or killed.
