The big guys in the court saw that it was almost done. Xu Daxian raised his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Highness the Crown Prince's words are reasonable. It is indeed time for the Sixteenth State of Yanyun to be recovered!"
Li Shanchang also bowed and said: "The imperial court's supplies are quite sufficient. It is worthwhile to use some reserves to regain Yanyun."
Chang Yuchun simply knelt down on the ground: "What your Majesty the Crown Prince said is exactly what I think in my heart. The horse farms left by Yuanting in our Ming Dynasty will be reclaimed into fertile land. If we don't regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture,
I will be in trouble for lack of horses again tomorrow!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the whole audience, and the remaining ministers also knelt on the ground and said: "I agree with what His Highness the Crown Prince said, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to send troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and said majestically: "In that case, prepare to send troops! Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. I wonder which dear prince is willing to regain the treasure land for my Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao straightened his back and said loudly: "Father, my son, please fight!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case: "It's ridiculous! How can a prince of a country lead an army on an expedition!"
The eyes of the censors below suddenly turned red: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise, His Royal Highness is the foundation of the country, how can you touch it lightly! I would like to ask Your Highness to think twice. The King of Zhongshan is responsible for the war. Why does King Kaiping lead the army to put himself in danger!
"
Zhu Biao listened to the words of the censors behind him. Although they were holding him back, Zhu Biao did not blame them.
It is unreasonable for the prince to go on an expedition. If there is any unrest in the country, it will cost his own life.
But if Zhu Biao wants to truly change the Ming Dynasty, this campaign is indispensable. Only by embellishment with military honors can authority be more majestic!
Xu Da did not speak when he encountered Chun, but waited for Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao calmly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My son grew up in the inner courtyard of the palace. Fortunately, he was favored by his father and became the crown prince. Now, at the age of fourteen, he has made no contribution to the country and the country. I am ashamed! Please ask my father.
I have allowed my son to accompany the army to conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. I am willing to be a pawn and lead the horse and whip for the commander-in-chief!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold face: "My Ming Dynasty does not lack a pawn! Zhu Biao, since you want to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, do you dare to bear all the consequences? Can you bear the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops?
!”
Zhu Biao stood up and said solemnly: "I would like to issue a military order!"
Chang Yuchun spoke at this time: "Your Highness, with his dragon and phoenix appearance, is sure to lead the army to recover Yanyun. I am willing to assist Your Highness as a vanguard. Please give me your permission!"
Anyone who can't understand the situation at this time is not worthy of standing in the main hall. All civil and military officials immediately rushed to plead for the prince.
Most of these people were also subjects of the East Palace, so naturally they would not hold back Zhu Biao. All kinds of words of praise for Zhu Biao came out for a while, and there was quite an aura that Zhu Biao could not help the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed satisfaction, but his expression was still serious, and he said: "Since the ministers are interceding for you, I will give you this opportunity, but if you lose, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
After Zhu Biao promised in a loud voice, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to prepare the imperial edict and wrote it himself.
Naturally, all the civil and military officials calmed down, and no one foolishly asked what the consequences of defeat would be.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished writing, he did not read it out but directly handed it to Zhu Biao. He stood up and said: "The land of Yanyun is the homeland of our Han people. How can we allow foreigners to invade it? I make the crown prince Zhu Biao the general of Tiance."
He led an army of 300,000 people to the north to regain the lost territory. Kaiping King Chang Yuchun was the right general, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong was the left general, Chengyi Bo Liu Ji joined the army, and Yongchang Hou Lanyu was the vanguard...
Zhu Biao took the imperial edict with both hands and was very excited in his heart. He knew that he must be the commander-in-chief, but he never thought that his father would make him the general of Tiance!
This was the official position of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. There was no second holder in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the configuration this time was quite luxurious. In addition to Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and Liu Bowen, there were twelve marquises who were good at fighting.
!
Zhu Biao led the generals of the Northern Expedition to kneel down to Zhu Yuanzhang to receive the decree!
Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to organize the preparation of food and grass supplies, especially the cold in the north, which required enough warm clothing.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered these soldiers to report directly to the East Palace from tomorrow without going to court to discuss the expedition with General Tiance!
Then the court was announced, but this time the ministers did not leave directly. Instead, they all looked at the newly released general Tiance, and began to wonder whether a daughter of the right age in the family could be sent to the prince's east palace.
Although everyone originally respected the prince, they could not be too eager to do so. After all, the emperor was in the prime of life during the Spring and Autumn Period, and all they had to do was serve the emperor well.
But things are different now, General Tiance! From here we can see how much the emperor loves the prince and what expectations he has for the prince.
Since ancient times, no emperor has been able to trust his son with an army of 300,000 elite troops.
All the ministers bowed their hands towards Zhu Biao and said, "I congratulate General Tiance!"
Zhu Biao turned around and faced the ministers and said with a calm expression: "Thank you very much for your advice to me. I will never let down the expectations of your Majesty and other ministers, and I will definitely restore Yanyun Sixteenth Period for our Ming Dynasty."
state!"
After saying this, Zhu Biao didn't say anything more to them, and directly led the generals on the expedition to the East Palace.
Zhu Biao was in front along the way, followed by Chang Yuchun and Liu Ji. Originally, according to their status, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong should have accompanied Zhu Biao, but Li Wenzhong also followed Zhu Yuanzhang step by step and naturally knew that.
Liu Bowen's ability, so he naturally pushed Liu Bowen to the front.
No one spoke along the way, and we went directly into the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace. In addition to books, there were also detailed topographic maps of the Yanyun area.
After everyone sat down, Yun Jin led the maids to serve tea and then all left, leaving only Liu Jin in the room to look after them.
Zhu Biao picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "We can only win this battle, not lose! I hope all the generals will work together to help me."
Chang Yuchun glanced at him, then led everyone to stand up, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I will die in the service of the general!"
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "You are all famous on the battlefield. You have your own discretion in what to do. Don't let me down!"
After everyone agreed in unison, Zhu Biao discussed the expedition with them.
Don't think that going on an expedition in ancient times was an easy task, as the early preparations were extremely complicated.
Zhu Biao sat at the top and said: "His Majesty's decree has been issued. The Ministry of Revenue should start to allocate the army's clothing, armor and equipment. Lan Yu, please go and personally check the lack of equipment. The food supply must be reported in time to make up for it."
"Armor and weapons must be carefully inspected to see whether the armor is rotten and rusty, whether the war bow is cracked and missing strings, whether the firearms are damp, and whether all swords, guns and sticks are usable. These are top priorities and must be done three days before setting off for the expedition.
All sorted and replaced.”
"Anyone who conceals something and fails to report it, and cites insufficient equipment as an excuse not to fight in the time of war will be dealt with according to military law!"
