Chapter 422 Sitting at home, merit comes from heaven
After hearing that it was the report of the Western Expedition, all the ministers put aside their prejudices.
The Western Expedition was a national event. In the third year of Hongwu's reign, the Tibetan capital of Wusi was conquered. In just a few years, the Tubo people planned to rebel.
Every war today is a battle for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming!
No matter whether the opponent is Beiyuan, Annan, Tubo, Japan or Korea!
Anyone who offends my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. The officials know that no matter how happy they are at home, everyone must remain consistent with the outside world.
"Mao Xiang, read!"
Hong Wu was in a bad mood, so Mao Xiang quickly took the battle report, opened it anxiously, and then looked happy.
"Your Majesty! Victory! Great victory!"
"Under the instructions of Marshal Deng Yu, our army successfully attacked Lingzang City!"
"King Zanshan, Chief of Thieves, is now on his way to be escorted to Jinling!"
After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he did not forget to raise his hands to Deng Yu and praise him: "I never thought that Duke Wei was planning a strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. It is really admirable!"
Deng Yu: "???"
Hu Weiyong: "???"
Both of them were equally full of doubts. Deng Yu didn't know why he had merit.
Hu Weiyong felt that his mind went blank. Is this a battle report written by someone?
Deng Yu has never appeared on the battlefield, and he has never even been to Guan and Shaanxi to train troops. How can he have the first achievement?
Look at the third lord of Huaixi again. Two good news were reported, but they were never mentioned!
Some people, even though they are not in the military camp, can still gain military merit.
Some people, even if they are on the battlefield, have not accomplished anything.
The gap between people is so big!
"Your Majesty, I have not performed any meritorious service..."
Deng Yu opened his mouth to explain, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked displeased after reading the battle report submitted by Mu Ying.
"Bo Yan! Did you arrange the marching route for Wenying, Yue Lin and the others behind our backs?"
"What a sneak attack on Lingzang! Don't be humble!"
"Everyone in the Western Expedition Army highly respects you, Deng Yu and Deng Boyan!"
"Are you still going to say that Wenying, Yue Lin and the others deliberately lied to promote you?"
The emperor had already spoken to this extent, and Deng Yu could only accept it silently.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"Hahaha! You are a hero, please speak to us with confidence!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "The Han Dynasty has Zhang Liang, and we have Boyan! We can strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away!"
Liu Bowen smiled at Hu Weiyong and said, "Is it because Prime Minister Hu is so good at predicting events and knows that Duke Wei is hiding his clumsiness, so he exposed it in the court?"
"Alas! If it weren't for Prime Minister Hu, we wouldn't have known that Duke Wei already knew the war!"
"Prime Minister Hu recommended Yue Lin before, and now he takes credit for Duke Wei. It's really the prime minister's heart that can support the boat!"
you……
Hu Weiyong only felt a tightness in his chest, just as Prince Zhu Biao spoke: "Liu Yushi knows astronomy and geography, and he integrates Yin and Yang Feng Shui into one body!"
"There is a bit of yin and yang in the words, please don't take offense to Mr. Hu!"
I……
Even the prince of the current dynasty spoke out, but Hu Weiyong could neither beat nor scold Liu Bowen.
As the saying goes, even if your tooth is broken, you still have to resist swallowing it.
"Hu Xiang, why are you doing this?"
Deng Yu cupped his hands and said, "I don't want to show off, but Hu Xiang is so aggressive."
you……
Hu Weiyong pointed at Deng Yu and almost scolded him for being "good-behaved even though he got an advantage"!
"Bo Yan has such great achievements, all the generals of the Western Expedition will give the first credit to the General of the Western Expedition!"
"Let's see, Boyan, don't refuse the position of General of the Conquest of the West!"
"From now on, if we want to Tubo children, I will not be able to cry at night when I hear your name, Deng Yu!"
After hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
——
Lingzang City.
Mu Ying did not let any of the deserters go, but sealed the city gate to prevent the news from leaking out.
The Ming army planned to use Lingzang as a stronghold and then march into Tibet to attack the enemy.
Ancient wars relied on poor information, and Yue Lin knew this well, and was known for his sneak attacks several times.
Coupled with the bizarre conspiracies and conclusions, it is difficult to guard against.
Even an old and cunning person like King Zanshan was deceived by Yue Lin in order to defeat the army.
"Alas! All the credit goes to Duke Wei, what a pity!"
Lan Yu sighed, being regarded as a "connected person" in the military, he most wanted to prove himself with military exploits.
"Why are you sighing? Yue Lin and I didn't take any of the credit for capturing King Zanshan. We gave it to you. Aren't you satisfied?"
Mu Ying stood on top of the city and didn't care at all about Lan Yu's complaints.
"Hehe! I know you two are good to me! When we go back, Qin Huai will paint a boat, and the oiran can choose whatever he wants! You can drink the flowers and wine as you like! Isn't that enough?"
Lan Yu stepped forward, took Mu Ying's arm, and said with a smile: "Wenying! Which oiran lady is in the photo? I will pay for it, Yue Lin will provide the talent, but in the end it will not be you who enjoys the blessing?"
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more distracted as they chatted, Yue Lin couldn't help but cough twice as a reminder.
"Ahem!"
"Yue Lin, don't worry! I know you're henpecked, so it's a blessing for us to play oiran and you go drinking!"
"Don't worry, I, Lan Yu, have always been loyal to my brothers!"
Lan Yu patted her chest and praised: "Yue Lin, if you can capture Zan Pu and take him to Jinling, you will be so powerful!"
Yue Lin secretly cursed "reckless man" in his heart, and then smiled and said: "No, no! I am a family man. If General Lan Yu really wants to thank me, why not cash in the money you spent drinking flower wine!"
Lan Yu said disgustedly: "You, Yue Lin, are the consort, so it doesn't matter if you don't play courtesan. You don't even dare to go to the Qinhuai Painting Boat. What's the point of being the consort?"
Mu Ying said displeased: "Lanyu! My eldest sister has wronged Yue Lin, right?"
Seeing General Zhengxi getting angry, Lan Yu chuckled and offered his bargaining chip.
"Wenying, don't be angry! In the worst case, I'll call you two oirans!"
"Three! No more!"
"make a deal!"
Yue Lin walked down the tower silently. After all, the two dogs couldn't spit out ivory from their mouths. He thought there was an important military discussion.
Looking up, there are countless serfs who are willing to be paid as soldiers and do not want to go back to the previous life of servitude.
"Lord Yue!"
"grown ups!"
"Master Yue is here!"
When the serfs saw Yue Lin approaching, they all bowed.
According to what the first batch of serfs who joined the Ming army said, Ming Dynasty was willing to accept serfs because of the living Bodhisattva in front of them.
Many people said they had never seen the Living Buddha on the snowy plateau.
In their view, Yue Lin, who allowed the serfs to live their lives, was the living Bodhisattva who saved all sentient beings.
"How are you living these days?"
Yue Lin nodded and said with a smile: "It is only natural for you to be paid for your meritorious service as a soldier! In the future, you will be allocated your own land, but you have to exchange military merit for it!"
"In our army of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as bullying our comrades! We are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we live and die together, and we defeat the enemy's chieftains!"
"You stay at Lingzang for now, there will be veterans to train you!"
After everyone in the Falcon Regiment heard this, they immediately took a step back. After all, no one wanted to stay here to train new recruits.
"Why are you retreating?"
