Chapter 565: Emperor Qin Han Wu, Emperor Tang Zong Mingzu
Zhu Yuanzhang should not be angry, and Zhang Ximeng should not be hateful.
Only Tamerlane first, if we ever see the light of day again, we will kill this beast!
Hanging his head on a bamboo pole, he will be forever ruined and will be infamy for thousands of years!
Qingtong, Timur Buhua and others were so angry that they rolled their eyes.
There is really no other way. First of all, Timur has done too much damage to the Yuan Dynasty. Frankly speaking, if he surrenders to Zhu Yuanzhang and leads the troops to fight, given his ability, he may be a blessing to the Yuan Dynasty.
After all, there aren't many people who are as picky as he is.
But the problem is that he is now willing to be an ordinary citizen of the Ming Dynasty. And he is doing his best to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.
This is so hurtful.
No matter who wants to argue with this person, he will probably be defeated.
After all, deposing Tuotuo and framing Zhongliang were almost unwarranted by the Yuan Dynasty, destroying the Great Wall and annihilating their own livelihood.
First, Timur, as a victim, came forward to speak out and scolded the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Even the most loyal officials of the Yuan Dynasty could not confront him with confidence.
In this case, who among the people below can withstand Tamerlane's offensive?
Not really!
At this time, Timur had already become a trump card in Ming's hand.
Those captured soldiers and officials of the Yuan Dynasty who were unwilling to surrender, smelly and tough, let him take action first.
What, a high official position?
I was originally a royal censor.
Great power?
My brother is the Prime Minister!
Noble birth?
My nephew and the crown prince grew up together!
Just tell me, how can you compare to me?
What was the result?
My brother was framed, deposed from military power, and brutally killed.
Back then, my brother had an army of hundreds of thousands, and so many people urged him to rebel. He had the ability to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and replace him. From this point of view, Tuotuo was indeed a loyal and good man of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was much stronger than the previous powerful ministers.
.
What can be rewarded?
He was wrongfully killed and died tragically.
So in this Yuan Dynasty, it is really meaningless.
Even if you have a high position and a respected position, what will be the result?
When I was in the Ming Dynasty, I was very happy and at ease.
I have my own veterinary hospital and my own cattle and horse business. I work hard, earn clean money, and live a stable life.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty treated me well and allowed me to participate in various grand ceremonies. He regarded me as a common citizen of the Ming Dynasty and showed great concern for me.
So, let’s just surrender to the Ming Dynasty honestly.
You should also stop pretending to be a fool. Emperor Yuan was the most ungrateful person.
Let’s not talk about anything else. You are not aware of the intrigue between the Crown Prince and his father!
If this is the case for father and son, how much more for the king and his ministers?
On the other hand, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty behaves fairly, clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, treats his ministers with kindness and power, cares for the people, and restrains his ministers and people with laws... He even has a harmonious family, and father and son love each other.
Which one can you say is inferior to Yuan Ting?
Which one can still make you miss Yuan Ting?
Come on, let's explain the truth.
Basically, no matter how stubborn a guy is, he will be defeated by Tamerlane's offensive.
Without him, it would be impossible to say it.
Therefore, in a short period of time, more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers chose to join the Ming Dynasty.
Among the Yuan court officials, the right prime minister Zhang Kangbo, the censor Zhongcheng Manchuan, and nearly a hundred other Yuan court officials also chose to join.
And first, Timur also conducted a careful investigation of this group of people. No one can say that surrendering is okay... Their identities must also be investigated and what they have done must be investigated. Only if there are no serious problems can they pass the review.
.
In this way, Zhang Kangbo, Manchuan, and more than twenty people were also invited to attend the banquet together.
Zhu Yuanzhang chose to have a banquet on Yongping Road with all the ministers.
On one side is Yanshan and on the other is the Bohai Sea.
Mountains and seas are connected, and the weather is diverse.
Lao Zhu's ability to choose places is not bad.
He led the civil and military officials to come together. Zhang Ximeng was by his side, and Xu Da was naturally there. Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai completed their sweep to the east and west, defended the two wings of Dadu, and drove away the Yuan soldiers. They also came on orders.
The rest of the Ming army generals were also present, and it could be said that there was a gathering of generals.
It is worth mentioning that among this group of people, there is another special person, that is Mao Gui, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He looked very anxious among the crowd and looked up.
Finally, a bright red flag came slowly from north to south.
Mao Gui saw it and couldn't help being overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, it's Guan Duo, he's here! Go and greet him!"
Lao Zhu nodded, "Go ahead and tell him not to care about false courtesy. We have known about his reputation for a long time and today is a late meeting."
Mao Gui quickly agreed and went to greet him.
The two commanders-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army and the Central Route Army of the Northern Expedition unexpectedly met at this time.
I was so full of words that I didn’t even know where to start. I was frozen here for a moment.
It was Guan Duo who smiled first and said: "Don't keep Your Majesty waiting, let's go over!"
Mao Gui was startled. He was afraid that Guan Duo would say the wrong thing, but it turned out that Guan Duo was much better behaved than he thought.
He knelt on the ground obediently and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, Guan Duo, pays homage to your Majesty! May my emperor live long, long live!"
Lao Zhu laughed so hard that he actually leaned over personally, pulled up Guan Duo, and looked at him carefully. Then he laughed and said: "On an expedition of thousands of miles across the desert, you, Mr. Guan, are a character! There are many good men in our Red Scarf Army!"
Facing Lao Zhu's praise, Guan Duo looked frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I only have the courage of ordinary men. Your Majesty is the holy king and wise master whom the people love!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "What difficulties do the soldiers have now? Tell us and see how to solve them?"
Guan Duo pondered for a moment and then said, "I still miss my hometown. If Your Majesty can grant permission, that would be the best."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, I'll note this down and let Mr. Zhang arrange it himself later."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Please rest assured, my lord, and please rest assured, General Guan. Many people from Li Wu and Cui De's troops in the Northern Expedition Western Route Army have also returned to their hometowns. Maybe you can still reminisce about the past together!"
Guan Duo was not surprised to see Mao Gui, but Li Wu and Cui Deshang were actually there, which really surprised him!
General Mao Gui next to him roughly told Li Siqi about his surrender.
After Guan Duo heard this, he was filled with emotion and admiration. They all say that you can conquer the enemy without fighting, but this is easier said than done.
Especially if you dominate one party and say the same thing, who would be willing to keep a low voice and obey other people's orders?
It can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very capable and defeated local snakes one after another, from Fang Guozhen to Mao Gui, then to Li Siqi, and of course, Guan Duo.
There is nothing to say about destiny.
Guan Duo became more and more submissive and bowed to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, do you think Guan Duo can be knighted for his merits?"
Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes and suddenly understood what Lao Zhu meant.
Recovering the homeland, drinking Yanshan, and conferring titles on the heroes are naturally the meaning of the title. The previous few conferments were not formal and the scale was not large enough.
Today, it is time to reward the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
Guan Duo commanded the Central Army of the Northern Expedition, making long-distance detours and completely shattering the order of the Yuan Dynasty in the grassland. Such a feat is truly extraordinary.
However, all of his credit goes to Liu Futong, so he shouldn't go too far, lest he hurt the hearts of his own people.
Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and said: "My lord, with the merits of General Guan, it seems that he can be awarded the title of Mighty Uncle!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and looked to both sides again, mainly to see what his generals meant. Then Lao Zhu thought about it again and then said: "I should still be Marquis Weiyuan! He is under Song Gong."
Song Gong was naturally Han Shantong, and Zhu Yuanzhang's reward showed the pattern. He was not limited to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also considered the entire Red Turban Army.
Guan Duo never expected that he would be awarded the title of Marquis. This was really unexpected.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Not only did you capture Xanadu, but you also entered Goryeo and showed your authority in foreign lands. Based on this, you are worthy of the title of Marquis Weiyuan! In the future, if our generals can perform meritorious service like you, we will not hesitate to reward you!"
"
These few words gave Guan Duo reassurance and also made the other generals feel at ease.
Our reward does not come randomly, you all have a share.
After Guan Duo thanked Tian En, he stood up, his face flushed, and he was very excited.
Troops from both sides gathered and entered the predetermined venue.
Soldiers had already leveled the land, prepared tables and chairs, and arranged a banquet.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yanshan Mountain, raised his eyes to the sea, and said with a smile: "This is such a good place... Mr. Zhang, Mr. Fenglin, do you know any allusions here?"
Zhu Sheng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I remember that when Qin Shihuang toured the world, he had been here. When Qin Shihuang sent alchemists to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality, they also set out here."
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Although the First Emperor was majestic, he was obsessed with immortality in his later years. After all, he is just a white jade with only a few flaws!"
At this time, Zhang Ximeng also smiled and said: "I remember that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also visited this place. Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all preferred this place. It can be seen that it is really beautiful and unique!"
At this time, Liu Bowen, who was following the army to the north, suddenly said: "Xiang Zhang, in fact, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also stationed here. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty also enjoyed the scenery here. The one with Jieshi to the east to view the sea is talking about this place!"
Zhang Ximeng put his hands on his hands and laughed, "So this place is Jieshi! My lord chose this place all of a sudden. Could it be that he has a close relationship with the Mingjuns and Holy Lords of the past generations?"
Lao Zhu was startled. In fact, when he first chose this place, he really didn't think so much. He just felt that since he wanted to drink Yanshan and celebrate the victory, the venue needed to be large enough, with enough food and drinks, so it had to be easy to transport.
Running to the mountains is really a waste of people and money, and you can’t eat or drink well.
It is better to choose the beach, which is more convenient.
I just didn’t expect that by such a coincidence, I would think of so many colleagues together!
Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once visited this place, Wei Wu waved his whip, and Emperor Taizong stayed in the area.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is here to drink Yanshan. This small place is really a favored Feng Shui treasure place.
Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong Ming of Tang.
It's all together.
As for Zhao Kuangyin, let's take a break for now. There is no place for him in this group of people.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the distant sea and meditated, as if he could travel through time and space, discuss ideas and thoughts with his predecessors.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Get ready for the banquet! Let's have a good drink with everyone and talk about what's on our mind!"
