Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Biao asked Lan Yumuying to lead them to drink. After a while, everyone in the camp except Quan Xu and Liu Jin left.
Zhu Biao picked up a few chopsticks leisurely, then looked at the somewhat absent-minded Prince Beiyuan and asked, "Are these people trustworthy?"
Prince Beiyuan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said with a smile: "It's very believable! They are so attached to you now that they can't even drive you away."
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "That's good. I really don't have time to waste on Bei Yuan."
Prince Beiyuan looked at Zhu Biao who looked a little sad and asked: "Nan Ming is just coming, and your position is as stable as Mount Tai. I am curious, what else do you have to worry about?"
Zhu Biao looked at Prince Bei Yuan and said, "What your Yuan Dynasty has left us is a mess. It will take many years to clean up the country. How can we not worry about it?"
Prince Beiyuan laughed twice: "Why worry, you are still so young."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other for a while. It was truly an anecdote that two princes of the unified dynasty discussed state affairs together. The two of them suddenly laughed, especially the prince of Beiyuan, who almost burst into tears from laughter.
Zhu Biao's smiling face became a little stiff. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his face and said, "It's not too early. Please go on your way, brother."
Prince Beiyuan held his stomach. He laughed so hard that he almost vomited out all the food he had just eaten. He stood up slowly and straightened his back. He smiled and hugged Zhu Biao with a fist: "Then I'll take the first step."
Zhu Biao sat up straight and looked solemnly at Prince Beiyuan. He straightened his sleeves, took out an exquisite dagger inlaid with gems from his waist, slowly pulled out the blade, and pointed it at Zhu Biao.
He said: "I will leave this dagger to you as a souvenir. Thank you for this meal of wine and meat."
After saying that, he wiped his neck neatly. Zhu Biao looked at Prince Beiyuan who was slowly falling to the ground, and inexplicably, Wang Baobao, who also committed suicide, appeared in his mind...
Liu Jin stepped forward and took out the dagger, but did not hand it to Zhu Biao. The sharp weapon that had just killed the man should be placed next to him first.
Zhu Biao calmed down and told Quan Xu: "Contain his body, don't allow anyone to insult him, and wait until we find a place with good feng shui on the grassland to bury him."
I want to see if I want to tell Liu Jin: "Of my belongings, pick some good ones for him to be buried with."
Prince Beiyuan thanked Zhu Biao for giving him dignity, and Zhu Biao also thanked him for not embarrassing the prince.
On the next day, Zhu Biao led his army towards Xanadu. Zhu Biao only brought 20,000 troops with him, and Liu Bowen took the rest back to Peiping.
Zhu Biao ordered Lan Yu and several surrendered generals to lead the cavalry, 70% of which were Ming troops and 30% were surrendered troops. Zhu Biao was originally worried that someone would escape, but in the end he found that under the management of those surrendered generals, the surrendered troops were very well-behaved.
There was no time wasted along the way, and questions encountered on the way were answered by the surrendered generals. They were all noble cavalry. People on the road didn't dare to ask any more questions after being whipped a few times. They just regarded them as the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty returning to the court.
Not only did the journey go smoothly, but in order to win Zhu Biao's favor, the surrendered generals took many of the herdsmen's cattle and sheep along the way, greatly reducing the pressure on the army's food and grass supply.
Naturally, Zhu Biao would not be stingy with his praises. After a few times, they no longer looked anxious and felt at ease as they regarded themselves as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
A few days later, we finally arrived near Xanadu. The journey was a little too smooth, and Zhu Biao even wondered if Beiyuan was playing a trick.
Secretly ordered Lan Yu and the others to kill those surrendered generals directly if they behaved strangely.
Zhu Biao was not too nervous. After all, Beiyuan no longer had the troops to fight Zhu Biao. What he was worried about was that the Emperor of Beiyuan escaped and made his trip in vain.
The surrendered generals each wrote letters and sent them to Xanadu. In the evening, there was a reply, which was full of praises for Zhu Biao and guaranteed that Emperor Beiyuan was in the city. No matter when Zhu Biao's army arrived, they could
Open the city gate to welcome Master Wang.
Zhu Biao did not relax his vigilance. It was not until the front army actually entered Xanadu, and the generals guarding the city respectfully guided the front army's route, that Zhu Biao really stared speechlessly at the tomb where Bei Yuan was buried.
Zhu Biao has not yet entered the city. Under his horse are kneeling a group of princes and nobles from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They represent all the forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty except the royal family.
All the resisting forces in the city had been eliminated. Zhu Biaocai dismounted and set foot on the capital, surrounded by his pro-army troops and the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. There were trembling civilians hidden in the houses on both sides of the road. Capital fell too quickly. They
They haven't realized what happened yet.
Zhu Biao had no intention of massacring the city, so after entering the city, he announced that Quan Xu would lead the people to restrain the soldiers. However, in the far corners of the city where there was still some commotion, some movements could still be heard, including women and children...
Lan Yumuying, who had killed several people in the city, walked up to Zhu Biao, knelt down on one knee respectfully and shouted: "Congratulations, General, for defeating Xanadu!"
Zhu Biao made them stand up and ordered: "Restrain the troops not to disturb the families of those who have surrendered. I also ordered them to continue. I know everything they want and will give it to them. But if they violate military discipline,
Don’t blame military law for being ruthless.”
Lan Yumuying accepted the promise and left. The princes and nobles around Zhu Biao were moved to tears. Besides their own lives, what they were most worried about was that their family's finances would be robbed. Although they were all hidden, they could not
Less natural is better.”
Facing the endless praises around him, Zhu Biao said: "You are all well-educated people. You must have heard my Zhongyuan saying that you can avoid disasters by losing money. The general can restrain his subordinates, but you should also show some expression, right?
"
It turned out that Buyan Timur, the Minister of Privy Council, said: "This is natural. Our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty have come from afar. We should show off our cattle and sheep to entertain you. Our gold, silver and finances are all external things, so we should dedicate them to His Highness."
Prime Minister Zuo Qingtong in the original Zhongshu said: "I would like to dedicate all my family wealth to Your Highness, just to keep my family safe."
The others also made generous promises, but it was hard to say how much wealth they claimed they had.
Zhu Biao didn't care. The grassland was too far away from the Ming Dynasty. It would take time to truly control this place.
Instead of killing these decadent Beiyuan nobles, it would be better to let them live and look after the grassland for him.
The vast land is very easy for heroes to be born. Instead of creating conditions for the rise of those troublesome guys, it is better to maintain the decadent rule here.
As for wealth, when he comes again, everything in the grassland will be his, so why worry?
He appeased the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and promised that as long as they sent their families to Beiping, Zhu Biao would help them report to the court and enfeoff the grassland to them. As long as they provided cattle, sheep and horses every year, they could always rule the grassland.
