This may be the most difficult moment in Zhu Di's life.
At the same time, Zhu Di also felt a bit regretful.
The early campaign was too smooth, which also made Zhu Di want to go deeper and achieve greater success.
But he forgot that the grassland was not his home field, and there was no place to hide in the endless plains.
The falcons high in the sky above Beiyuan are like maggots attached to their bones, with no possibility of getting rid of them.
Perhaps in Genghis Khan's time, people could still shoot giant eagles with bows, but now everyone uses light bows, and the range is completely out of reach.
This also makes the Falcon even more unscrupulous.
"This falcon is really a good thing. I will definitely raise a few of them in the future."
After escaping, Zhu Di said with emotion.
Zhang Yu had a sad look on his face and looked back from time to time. He could vaguely see the Mongolian cavalry chasing him.
"If they are captured, they will be captured together. With me here, they will not dare to do anything to me. They will have to serve me with good wine and meat."
"If something big happens again in the future, you will just kneel down like this one by one. Then you can all become officials. It will be useless for you and it will be a waste of rations."
"But."
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang killed too many ministers in the court, which also caused many ministers to sometimes weigh the pros and cons instead of thinking about how to deal with the matter.
All the civil and military officials below were trembling with fear, not daring to make the slightest move.
It sounds a bit confusing, but in reality, it is relatively simple.
Who would have thought that such a day would really appear.
“No buts!!!”
But at this time, the horses on Zhu Di's side had slowed down after running around for a long time.
Of course, if you force yourself, you can figure out a way.
"Rujun, come and tell us what we are going to do now."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair again, and the previous curtain was also lifted, which meant that Emperor Hongwu returned to power again.
At this time, Haba's mood was unparalleled.
For a long while, the entire Fengtian Hall was quiet, no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing was extremely subtle.
This is definitely an extremely angry thing for His Majesty.
"They don't dare to do anything to me. Even if you try to delay it for some time now, it's meaningless. A hundred knights can block a few breaths."
No one thinks that Yan King Zhu Di is easy in terms of military ability. Too many achievements are enough to prove his ability.
This gave Beiyuan a great deterrent effect, and all tribes who received the news immediately began to migrate.
"But the anger in our hearts can't go away. You have to think of a way to make the anger in our hearts go away."
This news, in just three days, had completely spread throughout the grassland border.
The infantry's presence on the grasslands was not very strong, so they had to stick to the border and face the battle more passively.
Zhu Yuanzhang's roar continued to echo throughout the entire Fengtian Palace, and people in the entire hall could hear it very clearly without the need for the eunuch to send a message.
"Did you ministers kneel down to create our Ming Dynasty? We led millions of soldiers to defeat it inch by inch."
The wind was roaring, and Zhu Di almost roared, interrupting Zhang Yu's words.
"It can also let Beiyuan know that the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of the past, and it is an existence that they cannot afford to offend at all."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "Of course we know what you said."
In terms of temperament now, it's because of Zhu Ying's relationship that he has restrained himself a lot.
Not only Haba, but all the Mongolian cavalry and generals were extremely excited.
This will really damage Zhu Di's vitality in the future.
And as they passed away one by one, they were all completely suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang in today's court.
And such King Yan has now become a prisoner of Beiyuan.
It's just that, which minister would dare to take issue with this?
"Isn't there anyone who can give us advice? Then why should we keep you? You are all just freeloaders."
"With my king here, your life will naturally be safe."
If you don't have any soldiers, you can continue to practice, but if you want to have such a general, it will be extremely difficult.
This is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and among the many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, he is extremely high.
Zhu Ying stood quietly in front of the dragon chair as before.
To become a prisoner of Beiyuan is a slap in the face of the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is also a slap in the face of the entire Ming Dynasty army.
The hundreds of ministers were like sculptures, motionless at all.
"Are our soldiers old, or are the new soldiers incompetent? In a place like the grassland, something like this would happen."
Zhu Di shook his hand and said, "Go to Haba Shangshu's tent?"
Zhu Di immediately understood what Zhang Yu meant and said in a deep voice: "I don't allow it!"
Obviously waiting for the commander from behind to come over.
At this moment, all the ministers immediately fell to their knees.
The city gates at the border gates were opened one by one, and a large number of soldiers began to go into battle, directly advancing towards the depths of Beiyuan.
All the border guards were summoned.
This is King Zhu Di of Yan.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed with light, and he said with a bit of sadness in his tone.
Although the falcon is magical, unless the enemy is directly discovered, there are many ways to avoid it.
Zhu Di stopped his horse and gave instructions to the guards beside him.
Haba's name will be completely spread throughout the Beiyuan Grassland.
Zhu Di did not take off his armor, and just rode his horse like a guest, following Haba.
As the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, he had this confidence.
A Mongolian man wearing light armor and Northern Yuan Dynasty court clothes came over slowly on horseback.
After he was captured, he was used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Ming Dynasty.
Now that Zhu Di is captured alive, he is more powerful in name.
The capital was shocked.
In fact, speaking of it, the possibility of Zhu Di being caught is very slim.
When encountering something, the first thing that comes to mind is not to deal with it, but to protect your own life first.
After listening to His Majesty's roar, Ru Yu didn't dare to pause for a moment, for fear that His Majesty would directly punish him if he was a few breaths late.
Haba sat on the horse, bowed from a distance and said to Zhu Di.
Of course, in a sense, the current situation is very beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
Haba bowed slightly and made a gesture with one hand: "I would like to invite King Yan to come."
In fact, this situation also reflects the suppression of courtiers by imperial power.
Hearing this, Zhang Yu handed over his weapons to the guards next to him, then took two people with him and followed Zhu Di.
Such an atmosphere made the entire Fengtian Hall eerily quiet.
"Why, our son has been kidnapped. Don't any of you ministers who usually say that you want to show your ambitions and have great ambitions dare to speak up?"
"All the books I have read over the years have been in vain."
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for not being able to follow me any longer."
"Put down your bow and arrows."
Hearing His Majesty's personal roll call, it was naturally impossible for Ru Yu to say no. He bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Beiyuan is now under a total embargo and the lives of the grassland people are miserable. Naturally, I want to use His Highness King Yan as my representative."
quality, and then negotiate with our Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Yu wanted to follow behind, but was stopped by the Mongolian cavalry.
"We have been fighting in the north and south for many years, and we have had a lot of dealings with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but our Ming Dynasty has never suffered such a big loss."
"Let's just discuss it and see what we should do now."
Haba paused for a moment and said, "The servants here may be a little ignorant. King Yan only needs three or five servants."
Any general or commander with some brains knows what it means at this time.
Now Zhu Neng has already broken an arm. If Zhang Yu breaks it here again, it will be equivalent to losing both his left and right arms.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair, then looked coldly at the kneeling ministers in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Rujun, the minister of the Ministry of War.
If King Yan had not been ranked fourth, or was in the position of second child, he might have been established as the new prince after the death of the prince.
Rujun is a good example.
Zhu Di knew very well that under the current situation, Bei Yuan was at a great disadvantage compared to Ming Dynasty.
Most of the soldiers at the border were not very happy about conquering the grassland, because the grassland was a hard nut to crack for the Ming Dynasty.
Thousands of Mongolian cavalry quickly surrounded Zhu Di's cavalry, but they just watched and had no intention of getting closer.
"Don't forget, Beiyuan also came from the Central Plains. They are not grassland people who grew up barbarically."
After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said with a bit of anger: "Don't kneel down here all over the place. What we want is that you can help us solve our problems, not tell us anything.
I will just kneel down on the ground."
"Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, such a thing has never happened. This is a shame and a shame for our Ming Dynasty!"
On the Mongolian side, one person and two people were riding, still maintaining a very high attitude, and they quickly surrounded them.
At least the commanders of these border guard stations know very well that at this time, they must not be passive and slack in their work, but must really use their strength.
There were originally some smuggling traders, but at this time they were all completely cut off.
Moreover, he is the fourth eldest son and is just a vassal king. Even if he is killed, what will it mean.
It seems that there are no capable ministers in the entire Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was calm with a hint of anger. If it had been different in the past, a large number of people might have been killed.
The army thundered.
Although he lost a bit of face, his father taught him since he was a child that failure on the battlefield is not a fear, but that he is afraid of being knocked down.
By this time, there is no need for any unnecessary struggle.
Although Zhu Di was surrounded, his expression was calm, without any trace of decadence or despondency. He still looked arrogantly when he looked at the surrounding Mongolian soldiers.
In the beginning, such a situation rarely happened. No matter what happened at that time, there would be talents like Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen who would come forward to make suggestions.
No one would have thought that King Yan of the Ming Dynasty would actually be captured by Bei Yuan.
At most, he was used to discuss the embargo with Ming Dynasty.
In fact, most of the ministers knew very well that although King Yan and His Highness Taisun had some disagreements, among the many princes, except for the deceased prince, King Yan was the most favored by His Majesty.
The main manifestation here is that the grassland is too vast, and the grassland tribes migrate frequently and do not have a fixed residence. It is difficult to completely eliminate this threat.
If this is not a good answer, it will inevitably result in the head being moved.
Ordinary Mongolians naturally don't understand, but Bei Yuan knows these things too well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really very disappointed with these ministers.
In the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Ying actually did not expect that Zhu Di would actually be captured alive.
Strictly speaking, the reason why Zhu Di was captured alive is actually inseparable from Zhu Ying.
Soon, they made way through the densely packed Mongolian cavalry.
Seven days later, the news reached the capital.
Otherwise, if the news reaches His Majesty the Capital, no matter who he is, there will be absolutely no room for mercy.
It's not that Zhu Ying deliberately wanted Zhu Di to be captured alive, but he just wanted to make Zhu Di's progress on the grassland not so smooth and open up a better situation.
People like Zhu Di have a firm mind and a strong will, and Bei Yuan would not say there was anything he would be lazy about.
But this is the current situation.
At least there is nothing wrong with the etiquette. It is not the attitude of a winner at all, but more like a friend.
Immediately he replied: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that at this moment we should mobilize the border troops to give Beiyuan the maximum counterattack and let them clearly understand their own situation. In this way, they can also protect King Yan very well."
His Highness’s safety.”
"There is not much use in pursuing these matters now, and we are too lazy to bother with them anymore."
I just didn't expect such a situation to arise.
As for the current border crossing, after Zhu Yuanzhang's edict arrived, all the guards were completely mobilized.
"With just a few breaths of time, will I be able to spread my wings and fly away?"
When Zhang Yu heard what the prince said, his eyes filled with tears and his heart choked with sobs.
After all, on the vast grassland, seven or eight thousand people may seem like a lot, but the movement of tens of thousands of troops is even more obvious.
"Haba, Minister of War of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, has met the Ming vassal king."
One bad thing, there will be a decisive battle of unprecedented grandeur and scale between Beiyuan and Ming Dynasty.
No one wants to face an angry Ming Dynasty.
Anyone who stands in the way will be forcibly destroyed.
This news was quickly passed to the Northern Yuan court.
