This man's surname was Sun Mingxingzu, whose courtesy name was Shi'an, and he was from Haozhou. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang across the river in his early years and made many contributions to the vanguard of the capital. Later he was promoted to the marshal of the army. He defeated the eight camps of Ruichang and was promoted to the commander of the Tiance Guard.

He acted strategically and calmly, and was highly valued by Xu Da. He later conquered Taizhou and guarded Hailing. Hailing was the only place Zhang Shicheng's troops must pass when entering Anhui. He reorganized the army and improved defense. Later, he defeated the attack of Zhang Shicheng's troops and

Capture Tongzhou and rise to the top

He was appointed deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. This time Xu Da asked him to serve as the vanguard general for the night attack on the Tatar capital. Otherwise, he would collect every move in the capital. He did not dare to neglect at all. He had just discovered a few war horses wearing Ming army uniforms and immediately

Come report.

"Who is here?" Sun Xingzu shouted coldly, standing outside the big tent with his hands on his hips. He was already tall and tall, but when illuminated by the candlelight, he looked even taller.

Two war horses came in quickly. When they were less than a foot away from the tent, the leader just reined in the horse with one hand. Sitting on the horse, he cupped his fists condescendingly and said: "Marshal Xu is commanding Guo Shi.

Is that Ying?"

Because Guo Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer Chu, He, Quarry, Taiping, fought at Poyang Lake, conquered Wuchang, conquered Huai'an, and Anfeng, all of which were meritorious, he was promoted to command Qianshi. He was selected by General Xu Da as the vanguard general of the Northern Expedition. He was just now

Following Xu Da's order, I went to Xizhimen to inquire about the news, and now I'm rushing back.

"Oh, it turns out to be General Guo. The last general is too blind to recognize Mount Tai, and there have been many collisions just now. Please forgive me, General Guo?" When Sun Xingzu heard Guo Ying's name, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted. It's not that his official position is higher than that of Guo Ying.

Guo Ying is much younger, but having an official position in the army is not enough. He also needs a

Being a patron is just like being a literati scholar and being a scholar. The candidates are not at the same level. Guo Yingneng stood out in an era when there were so many famous generals like Zhu Yuanzhang, and was eventually awarded the title of king and marquis. In addition to his extraordinary ability, there are more

It's because he has a good backer, Concubine Ning - Mrs. Guo.

Ning Fei Guo was the daughter of Guo Shanfu, a native of Hao. Shanfu was a good friend of people. When Zhu Yuanzhang was not yet prosperous, he passed by his house. Guo Shanfu looked at her and said in surprise: "You are so precious to me." He also said to his sons Guo Xing and Guo Ying.

He said: "My prime minister, Ru and Cao, all can be ennobled as marquises by this." So Guo Shan

He hurriedly followed Zhu Yuanzhang and ordered his daughter to be given to Zhu Yuanzhang to serve him. In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Yingtian and became the Hongwu Emperor. In gratitude for the kindness of the Guo family back then, and in addition to the meritorious service of the Guo family over the years, he named the Guo family Concubine Ning.

His status is only lower than that of his wife, Queen Ma.

With such a backer, flattery was inevitable in the imperial court. Although Sun Zuxing also held the position of a pioneer general, he certainly had a lot of eyesight. It was Guo Ying who hurriedly saluted.

Guo Ying nodded and said: "General Sun, you don't have to be polite. They were both born in the army. Let's forget about these red tapes. Are the two marshals here?"

Sun Zuxing said hurriedly: "Here, waiting for the general!"

"Okay! Shall I go in now?" Guo Ying dismounted and rushed into the tent first.

Xu Da did not wait for him to salute, and asked together with Chang Yuchun: "General Guo, tell me quickly, how is the situation at Xizhimen?"

Guo Ying cupped his fists and said, "Returning to the marshal, General Xiao lived up to expectations. He created his own mandarin duck formation and killed the Tatar vanguard general Haba. The 20,000 elite Tatar troops were defeated and fled. Not a single Tatar was released from Xizhimen?"

"Okay, okay! As expected of Brother Xiao, what kind of method is this?" Xu Da and Chang Yuchun applauded at the same time. Their hearts that had been hanging around were completely relieved. The two met each other and looked at each other, and each burst out laughing.

"It's God's will. I think the Tatars are unable to save themselves this time?" Xu Da laughed loudly and said to himself.

Chang Yuchun nodded. This result was really satisfying. If the Tatars couldn't send out the news, it would be difficult for Wang Baobao of Taiyuan to send troops to attack. In this case, the capture would be a matter of time?

After the two were delighted, Xu Da said: "Tell me, how is the situation in Dadu now?"

Guo Yingdao: "The general took advantage of the chaos and came out of the city, captured two Tatars and asked them about it. Xiao Jianjun's victory seemed to have disrupted the Tatars' plan. The entire capital seemed to be in chaos?"

Xu Da's face darkened and he said: "General Guo's current military information is fatal. Don't you think that I want to know accurate information?"

"Yes!" Guo Ying nodded sincerely and said: "I just learned from the spies of Jin Yiwei that they said that the Tatar army was in chaos, and most of the 20,000 elite soldiers were killed or injured. For the time being, people in the entire capital were in panic. Everything was because of the prince's love.

Youshili Dara is taking measures to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Xu Da said "Hmm!", and the expression on his face did not get much better, but became a little worse. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and said to Chang Yuchun: "Brother Chang, look at -?"

Chang Yuchun thought for a while and said: "Aiyou knows that Dara is not a simple person. I heard that there is a military advisor beside him named Mankuo Timur who is very powerful. With these two people here, most of them will not be captured in a day."

, my Northern Expedition army will have trouble sleeping and eating in just one day. In my opinion, it is better to capture Dadu City earlier. If there are many dreams during the night and Wang Baobao finds out the news and comes to rescue, I am afraid it will not be easy to capture Dadu City by then?"

Xu Da nodded and said: "Brother Chang is right. The sooner we capture the capital city, the sooner our army will be stable, the sooner the world will be stable, and the sooner the people will be free from the war. In this case, I think

What do you think about taking action tonight?"

Chang Yuchun said: "Okay, that's it?"

Xu Da suddenly turned around and said to Guo Ying: "Tonight, General Chang and I will personally lead 10,000 troops to attack Dadu. If there is danger, we will use fireworks as a signal. When you see fireworks, you will pass on the seal of my commander-in-chief and convey the eleventh day."

Open the city gate and attack the city immediately! "

"Marshal, don't worry, the general will definitely comply with your orders?" Guo Ying said, cupping his fists.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was not a trace of light. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led 10,000 troops from Chongwen Gate to quietly enter the outside of the imperial city. Outside the imperial city, the official area is to the south and southeast, the water pool area to the north is the downtown area, and the east side is the downtown area.

To the west of the central pavilion are the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower, which are the time-telling mechanisms of the city. To the west of the Bell and Drum Tower is Jishuitan, which was the end point of water transportation in the Yuan Dynasty and the most prosperous commercial district in the city, with rice markets, noodle markets, and satin markets.
