Chapter 6 The battle report is delivered to Lao Zhu from joy to surprise!
Chapter 6 The battle report arrived, and Lao Zhu turned from joy to surprise!
Nothing to say during the day.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were thousands of things going on. It was not until the day was flying to the west and the bright moon was in the sky that Zhu Yuanzhang finished reviewing today's memorial.
He tiptoed to the outside of Queen Ma's chamber, and when he saw that there were still people flickering in the palace, he stopped walking softly and strode open the door of the palace.
"Sister, we are back!"
"We've been exhausted after approving all the discounts for a day. Did you leave some of the late-night snacks that Xu Xingzu's guy brought for us?"
Empress Ma was still wearing the same blue cloth with a scarf on her head, holding the uppers of her shoes by the oil lamp. When she saw Lao Zhu pushing the door open and coming in, she didn't move and just gave him an annoyed sideways look.
At this glance, the Hongwu Emperor, who had swallowed up the tiger for thousands of miles, suddenly turned into the stupid and blunt Zhu Chongba. Old Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, closed the door dejectedly, sat down at the table, looked around, and found nothing.
I saw a shadow of my late night snack on the table.
The girl must be angry!
Lao Zhu was so angry that he didn't dare to express his anger. He stared at Queen Ma for a long time and was silent for a long time. He finally managed to come up with a topic:
"The sixth day of May!"
"Yes. Su'er told me that Lan Yu defeated Wang Baobao twice in Yema River and Tula River. The location, order, and battle situation were exactly the same!" Queen Ma nodded.
"Chongba. Did you just say that the blue jade soldiers came out of Yanmen and defeated Wang Baobao twice in a row?" Queen Ma's tone was a little strange.
"Su'er also predicted the exact time of the ambush. Let me think about it, it is..."
There was something in his wife's words. We have been married for so many years, how could Lao Zhu not hear it? He laughed dryly: "Sister, why do you say such angry words?"
"Do you think it's still the straw sandals and cloth shoes you wore back then?"
"Yuchun died young, and this Lan Yu was so brave, it can be said that Yuchun has a successor."
"Of course he won." Speaking of the battle report, Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud. The slight haze caused by Zhu Su's prediction this morning was also swept away. "How many days does Tiande (Xuda, also known as Tiande)
A few days ago, I sent someone to deliver the battle report. His vanguard blue jade soldiers came out of Yanmen and defeated Wang Baobao twice in a row!"
"Northern Expedition!" Queen Ma swallowed. "The situation of the Northern Expedition is exactly what Su'er said!"
"Sister, you have a general understanding. Tell me, is this what we said?"
"We have struck lightly. If we read the battle reports from the front, I'm afraid we will strike even harder!"
Not only because if the Ming Dynasty were defeated, countless good men would shed their blood on the battlefield.
"Sister, aren't we... aren't we just confused by being angry!"
As a concubine of the harem, she has always strictly abided by the iron law that the harem must not interfere with politics. However, this army expedition is a major event that concerns all Han people. The people are extremely concerned about it and sooner or later the battle report will be made public. In addition, from
After Zhu Suna came back, her mind always flashed through the tragic situation of countless good men of the Ming Dynasty who were killed by the Tartars due to defeat. She was concerned and asked questions.
These words made Emperor Hongwu break into a cold sweat. How could he dare to delve into the treachery in his words? He wiped away the sweat with a guilty conscience and took the red-eyed Queen Ma into his arms.
"That bastard usually keeps quiet, but who knows, he's giving me a big blow."
"I don't know where I learned these deceptive tricks, and I practiced them on his head. If I don't hit him harder, what will happen if I grow crooked in the future?"
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, not understanding why his sister's expression changed so much. "Sister, what's wrong with you? Isn't this a happy event?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, with a sense of pride in regaining face in his tone.
"Battle report?" Queen Ma heard the key. She said nervously: "What battle report? Did I, the Ming Dynasty, win?"
"How dare you talk about such a national matter? If you don't teach him a lesson, he will become a border country in the future, won't you have to deceive his elder brother?"
Empress Ma did not speak. She had heard that the Ming Dynasty had won, and her face was filled with joy. When she heard Zhu Yuanzhang said that Lan Yu had defeated Wang Baobao twice in a row, her whole body froze and her expression became unnatural.
"If it had been earlier, I should have slapped this battle report on Lao Wu's face. So that he would know what it feels like to talk nonsense and then be exposed in person!"
Queen Ma's face was also pale.
"It's so pitiful that the child who was beaten doesn't have a good piece of meat on his butt...Zhu Chongba, are you going to rebel?"
"You, Emperor Zhu, are of the highest rank. You can hit whoever you want. The uppers of your shoes are made of gold thread, so why would you care about my shoes?" Queen Ma didn't even raise her head.
"Su'er... Su'er is right."
"This girl's craftsmanship is so good! Are you making new shoes for us?"
"This?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked. "How is it possible? Didn't that traitor say that Ming Dynasty will be defeated?"
"Su'er was seriously ill earlier, and her body is already weak. If you can't bear it, you can hit her like that with these boots?"
"Chongba, do you still remember that the battle report stated where Lan Yu defeated Wang Baobao?" Empress Ma pressed Zhu Yuanzhang's outstretched hand and asked urgently.
"The Ming Dynasty has not won yet!" Queen Ma said. Then she told Zhu Su all the details of the Battle of Lingbei.
"...You mean, Lan Yu's Lianjie was already in Su'er's prophecy?" Zhu Yuanzhang was completely confused.
"Chongba!" Queen Ma grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm with such force that the thick-skinned old Zhu felt a little pain.
"Zhu Chongba, you also know." Empress Ma stopped pretending and threw the half-filled shoes on the table.
"That's right. Su'er also said that Tiande was successfully lured into an ambush by Wang Baobao. In just one battle, our Ming army lost tens of thousands of casualties and fled south in panic. The great plan of the Northern Expedition fell short!"
"Is this really cruel?" Lao Zhu felt proud when he saw that the general knowledge was effective. He raised his nose and glared. "That little brat, in order to deceive us, he talked nonsense and said that the Ming Dynasty will be defeated!"
"The soles of your boots are thick, and they are sewn with gold thread. How much do they weigh?"
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused. "What's right?"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the abnormality of his married wife.
Queen Ma fell silent. She was not a careless shrew. She just saw the wound on Zhu Su's buttocks and felt distressed, so she got angry at Lao Zhu. She also agreed with Lao Zhu's statement in her heart. Lao Wu appeared.
The signs of deception should indeed be dealt with properly, and such signs must be suppressed.
"Su'er also predicted that these two defeats were actually flaws deliberately sold by Wang Baobao to lure Tiande to go deep alone?"
"When have we ever disliked the shoes you bought? Wasn't it because you were angry with me and called Lao Wu over this morning and gave me a beating..."
It is true that I did not listen to the details of his prophecy!
"It's a pity that the battle report was only delivered at noon today. It was a few hours late."
"In these two battles, Wang Baobao lost his armor and was completely defeated! Lan Yu is a good person. He seems to be Yuchun's brother-in-law?"
"Sister? What's wrong with you? Sister?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and hurriedly hugged the crumbling Queen Ma.
"Huh? I remember. Lan Yu first defeated Wang Baobao at Yema River, then pursued him all the way, and was defeated again at Tula River..." Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish his words, Queen Ma's face turned pale.
"Then you shouldn't have beaten me so hard!" But the husband is still to blame.
Also because...
"The sixth day of May..."
"Today is already eleven. So..."
"It's very possible that the tens of thousands of troops that led the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition have been...defeated?"
