Chapter 1686 : Willing to serve the country with this body
After giving a few instructions, Zhu Yuanzhang felt much more relaxed and then he opened the intelligence on the table.
"For five hundred years, the king will prosper, and rely on the saints to govern the world; the reform of the situation and destiny will drive away the smell of the barbarians, the sound of the cloth will be taught, the universe will be clear, the sun and the moon will be bright... In order to support the power of Xuande, to safeguard Qianli, to collect all the pictures and enfeoffed the treasury, and to list four collections of praises from counties, and to renew the pollution of a hundred years. Although the driving force is effective, the strategy is actually based on the calculations, so Yu Zhanghongli, to redeem martial arts, east of Canghai and west of Kunlun, south
The carvings are so beautiful that the north is so beautiful that there are no far away. Everyone respects relatives. The jade and silk meetings, car and books are the same. The rituals and music of peace are promoted, the customs change, and the rules of the whole world are correct." Zhu Yuanzhang read, and there was news in his eyes. At the end of the reading, he laughed and said, "Xu Da, Chang Yuchun really does not let my entrust and conquered Dadu. Haha, once the Dadu is broken, the Tartars rule in the Central Plains collapsed, and our northern expedition was even smoother!"
How could such good news be less than others? Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to summon all his ministers to announce such great news to the world. So the ministers submitted congratulations, only making Zhu Yuanzhang happy.
The past two days, Yingtian was full of celebration everywhere. The news of the Tartars fleeing north had already reached every corner of Yingtian. Every household in the city was lit up colorful lanterns, and the people sang and danced happily, which was indescribable festive.
Later, even when the Xia lord Mingsheng heard the news that the Ming army had captured the Yuandu, he sent envoys to congratulate him. After Emperor Zhu discussed with his ministers, he issued an edict to change Dadu Road to Beiping Prefecture, and ordered General Xu Da to set up Yanshan and other six guards to defend Beiping. In addition, he issued an order to let Xu Da, Chang Yuchun quickly eliminate Shanxi, Gansu area, and completely drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang sat alone in the study, and the guards sent news that Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, the Northern Expedition Army had successfully entered Shanxi, and Tang He and Yang Jing's army also entered Shanxi smoothly. The army had captured Baoding Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture, Zhending and other places in Changxiahebei along the way. At the same time, the Ming army led by Feng Sheng and Tang He also attacked the Zezhou area.
One good news after another made Zhu Yuanzhang feel much more comfortable, but the good days stopped until a month later.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang received news that Tang He was alone and continued to advance into Shanxi after taking down Zezhou. He was ambushed by Wang Baobao in the Handian area. The 50,000 army was killed by the Tartars, leaving only 10,000 troops. Thanks to Xiao Yun's reinforcements who rushed to use the Eight Formation Map to defeat Wang Baobao's Pingzhang Han Zar in one fell swoop, and he was able to rescue him successfully.
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and wanted to cut Tang He into pieces. Finally, he was not blamed for his contributions to Tang He's follow along, and issued an order to transfer Tang He from the northern battlefield, and then issued another order, ordering Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others to quickly solve all the Tartars entrenched in Shanxi, including Wang Baobao.
The Jinyiwei ordered the Jinyiwei to deliver the ancient city of Yuci where Xu Da was located as fast as possible. The emperor did not dare to disobey, and the preliminary preparations for the attack on Taiyuan were also completed one by one. The day after receiving the imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others led a large army into Wang Baobao's hinterland, Taiyuan.
Taiyuan was also known as Bingzhou, and was called Jinyang in ancient times. It was also called "Longcheng" and the ancient capital of the nine dynasties.
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was left behind for the Duke of Tang and Taiyuan, and raised an army to establish the Tang Dynasty in Jinyang, and used the ancient name of Taiyuan as the country's name. Taiyuan became the land of dragon development in the Tang Dynasty and was praised by Emperor Taizong of Tang as "the foundation of the king's business and the foundation of the country." Before Emperor Gaozong of Tang ascended the throne, he was the King of Jin, and the empress Wu Zetian, who also came from Wenshui, Bingzhou, became the only female emperor in China. Taiyuan Prefecture became the capital of the Northern Capital since Wuzhou.
After that, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Northern Han either made its fortune in Jinyang or used it as its capital. For a time, Taiyuan was famous throughout the country and was said to be "Dragon City".
At this moment, Wang Baobao walked back and forth in the handsome tent with his hands on his back, and his two thick eyebrows had already condensed into a lump, as if he could not make up his mind for something important.
"General, what do you say about Your Majesty's imperial edict?" Han Zar asked carefully when he saw Wang Baobao's face turned gloomy.
Wang Baobao sighed heavily and said, "Your Majesty heard that our army and Handian defeated Tang He's army, and he was happy for a moment. Let me take the general's view of the world's troops and take advantage of the situation to regain the capital!"
Han Zha'er didn't even have time to speak, and heard Wang Baobao sigh again and said to himself: "It's easy to lose it, but it's not so easy to pick it up again. The city of Dadu is solid, and the Southern Barbarians are heavily guarding it. It's probably not easy to take down Dadu. Taiyuan is my foundation. Xu Da led 300,000 troops and was determined to Taiyuan. If I lead my army to attack Dadu, Taiyuan will inevitably be lost. In this way, I will never have a foothold in the world except the desert!"
Han Zha'er also sighed. Although he was reckless, he knew how solid the capital was. If His Majesty had not fled north, even if Xu Da had an army of 300,000, it would have been a pity to capture Dadu. "
The two were silent for a while. Wang Baobao looked up and looked out the window and murmured: "The Han family's flags are full of Yinshan Mountains, and they will not send a horse to return. I wish to serve the country forever, so why should I be born into Yumen Pass? This is what my father often teaches me. A man and a real man must serve the country loyally even if he knows he is a death! If a minister does not want to serve the country, what is his appearance? He stands in the temple! He will send orders to make meals at the third pm tonight, and sets off at the fifth pm to attack Dadu!"
Thirty miles away from Taiyuan City, a large army quietly arrived outside Taiyuan City.
"How is the situation in the city?" Xu Da asked a scout.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, just this morning, a large army in the city left the city?" the scout clasped his fists.
Xu Da was shocked and looked at Chang Yuchun beside him, Xiao Yun looked at each other and continued to ask: "How many people are there, who are leading them? Where are you going, can you find out clearly?"
The scout was calm and said, "Reporting to the commander, Bei Yi has found out clearly that all of them have risen, with more than 100,000 troops. The leading figure is the famous Wang Baobao. Bei Yi captured several Tartar prisoners. From them, they learned that it was Wang Baobao and the emperor who received the imperial edict from the Tartar emperor yesterday, asking Wang Baobao to lead the army to capture Dadu!"
"Captain Dadu?" Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Xiao Yun looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I think Emperor Shun of Yuan must be unhappy with the desolation of the desert. I miss the prosperity of Dadu. I may regret not losing Dadu at this moment!"
"Haha, Brother Xiao is saying it? But the name of Emperor Shun of Yuan is unique?" Chang Yuchun laughed and silently recited the three words "Uncle Yuan Shun"?
