Chapter 1542 : Northern Expedition

"Long live the King of Wu!" Everyone was infected by the atmosphere of Zhu Yuanzhang, and everyone knelt down and bowed and shouted long live.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, suddenly sighed, saying, "Ziguwang has been on the rise for more than twenty years. Every day, every day, I think that one day, I can drive the Tartars back to the desert, restore the country of our Han people, and restore the peace and prosperity of our people. For this wish, the Lone King is trembling and cautious, afraid of taking a wrong step, which will ruin this thought in my heart, and let down the trust of your beloved ministers and the expectations of millions of innocent people in the world who are still suffering from suffering. Therefore, the Lone King does not dare to take a wrong step, because he is afraid that if he takes a wrong step, it will be a place that will never be restored. Fortunately, the Lone King has your beloved ministers.

The assistance of the Lord has come step by step. To this day, the Lord has defeated Chen Youliang, destroyed Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding and others, and was beaten by the Lord. In the vast Jiangnan, the Lord has finally been unified. All of this is indispensable to the strong help of your dear friends. Now the Tatars are injustice, which is a great opportunity for the Han people to photovoltaic country. The Lord does not want to miss this good opportunity, so the Lord wants to send troops. If this time can drive the Tatars out of the Central Plains and save our Han people and the fire, wouldn’t this be a good thing? A big event is just around the corner. I wonder if you have the confidence to try with the Lord?

"See Your Highness to the death!"

The entire hall shouted and shouted, and the sound was like thunder, resounding inside and outside the King of Wu's palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a sense of heroism and shouted "Okay!", and when everyone calmed down, he said loudly: "If this Northern Expedition can defeat the Tartars and drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains, the Lone King will follow the will of heaven, and in this place of Jinling, he will establish a country and establish a state. When he is the founding king of a country, he will jointly govern the world with all his beloved ministers, and give us the Han people a clear world and a bright world! What do you think?"

"The King of Wu is wise! Long live the King of Wu!"

There was another cheer. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand again, and everyone returned to silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "What do you think about the Lone King?"

Liu Bowen said convincedly: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and I agree with it."

"What the military advisor said is that His Highness has great ambitions. In recent years, he has built walls high, accumulated grain, and slowly became kings, destroyed Chen Youliang, attacked Zhang Shicheng, and pacified Fang Guozhen. Only now have this half of the country. If this Northern Expedition is successful, His Highness's achievements will be no less than those of the Tang and Song Zu in the past, but are just a weak minister. "Li Shanchang said this and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and stopped talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see through Li Shanchang's thoughts and said, "If you have something to say, why not just say it?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Shanchang said thanking with his fists, pondered for a while, and said, "I am worried that although the northern Tartars have been fighting for many years, their strength is still there. If they advance rashly, they are afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of Liu Futong back then?"

At that time, Liu Futong led Han Shantong's son Han Lin'er to Bozhou from Jiahe River in Dangshan to proclaim himself emperor. The country was named Dasong and changed the reign to Longfeng. He also used the propaganda effect of "The Ming King was born" to call Han Lin'er the "Little Ming King". The Red Turban Army in all parts of the Central Plains accepted the leadership of the Song regime. In the 17th year of Zhizheng), Liu Futong made a major strategic decision, divided his troops into three northern expeditions, and pointed directly at Dadu. The Red Turban Army's flag also wrote "Three thousand tigers, reaching the land of Youyan; the dragon flew nine five, reopening the sky of the Song Dynasty", but due to the dispersion of power, the rear was empty and nothing was achieved.

As a result, the Tatars Chahan Timur, Boluo Timur and others began to launch a large-scale counterattack. In addition, the three northern expeditions did not meet the expected goals at that time, but instead caused the troops to be dispersed and Bianliang was trapped in a place of no support. In May of the following year, Bianliang was besieged. In August, the city of Bianliang was broken, and Liu Futong protected Han Lin'er and broke out of the encirclement and fled to Anfeng. Lin'er's wife and his family members were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and 5,000 officers and soldiers were captured. Talisman seals, seals, and the official treasures were seized. The "Great Song Dynasty" was completely collapsed. Li Shanchang was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be complacent for a while and followed Liu Futong's old path, which he did not want to see.

Zhu Yuanzhang said "hmm" from his nose and nodded, "The Prime Minister's worries are reasonable. The Tartars still have strength. If there is no foolproof plan, if you act rashly, you will inevitably fail. Therefore, if you want to fight this battle, you must have a foolproof plan! This is the intention of the Lone King summoning you to come this morning!"

Li Shanchang felt a little relieved when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had a comprehensive plan. He nodded and said, "If Your Highness had a foolproof plan, I would be relieved. However, the strength of this Tartar in this city is still strong, so it is not easy to win the city in one fell swoop?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to Li Shanchang with satisfaction and said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true. The Gu Wang had just received the news that the Tartar Emperor and the Crown Prince were fighting intra-invading. Now the Tartar Emperor has cut off Wang Baobao's military power. Wang Baobao was furious and led the army too far. In Guanzhong, Gao and Li Siqi worked together to attack Wang Baobao. The three of them fought fiercely. The Gu Wang thought that no matter who won the battle, it was irrelevant. The Gu Wang wanted them to fight intra-invading, and the Gu Wang hurt to beat the dog in the water, so the Gu Wang decided to send troops to the north."

Everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had not spoken yet. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Wenzhong each looked at each other, their eyes full of joy. Northern Expedition, this is a big thing that any general dreams of. If he wins, he will leave his name in history, and if he loses, he will have nothing!"

"But, this complete plan needs to be achieved by your beloved friends?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Yuchun stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Now Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng is dead, Fang Guozhen in Taizhou, Chen Youdao is definitely not worth worrying. The last general is not talented, so he asked his lord to give me a 100,000 army. The last general personally committed suicide to Dadu, captured the Tartar emperor alive, and returned the Han people's country?"

"General Chang said very much. Now that Jiangnan is pacified, there are 300,000 soldiers in Jinling, and the prime minister has all the food and grass, without any worries. If he takes advantage of the victory and drives to Dadu, he will destroy the Tartars' country in one fell swoop? The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead 100,000 troops for His Highness and attack Huanglong!" Xu Da continued Chang Yuchun's words and said.

There were already many military generals in the hall. When they heard Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others asked for their orders, and many people shouted to ask for their orders. The hall was very lively for a while.
