Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 119 Zhu Han Triumphs!Han Liner vs. Wang Baobao
One hundred thousand shi of grain is basically the amount of grain that can only be counted after looting all the grain in the Goryeo state treasury.

However, it's okay if the Koreans don't agree.

"You don't have to rush to agree, discuss it with your king after you go back!"

"If any of my other conditions are missing, I will not accept your surrender!" Zhu Han said.

"Please continue, Commander. I wonder what the rest of the conditions are?" Lu Che asked boldly.

Zhu Han then said the second condition.

"The second condition is to let your king give the order!"

"Let Wang Qi order Cui Ying to be killed!"

"What? Kill Cui Ying?" Lu Che was startled again.

Cui Ying is the current No.1 general of the Goryeo Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the Goryeo Dynasty.

The king of Korea, Wang Qi, killed Cui Ying.

It's like Wanyan Gou killed Yue Fei back then!
Once this request is agreed, it means that the officials and generals of the dare-to-war faction in Korea will completely give up on the King of Korea.

Zhu Han ignored Lu Che's surprise and continued to talk about his conditions.

"The third condition is that our army is going on an expedition. Naturally, we need your consolation and compensation! Of course, you don't need any gold and silver. This commander wants all the girls in the city who are over 30 or [-] years old and under [-] years old to send them to me. , Whether it is a noble woman or a slave woman, there must be no concealment, at least [-] must be gathered, otherwise, I will let all the troops enter the city by themselves, and the slaughter will not stop for three days!" Zhu Han said.

Afterwards, Zhu Han explained all his conditions in various ways.

Among all the conditions, the most important of these conditions is that the King of Korea send hundreds of thousands of tons of grain and grass.

There is one hundred thousand gold and silver.

In addition, it is to kill Cui Ying and other Korean generals who have been to the Central Plains and participated in the suppression of the Red Turban Army's attack on the Red Turban Army.

Then, let the King of Korea send all the women in Kaesong to the Red Scarf Army.

In the end, Zhu Han also asked the King of Korea to issue an order, ordering officials from all over the country, no matter how big or small, to come to Kaijing to meet in court within one month, otherwise they will all be dismissed from office.

Zhu Han also sent people to attack the general manager's mansion of Mengyuan Kuancheng in the north.

Kuancheng is the bridgehead established by the Yuan Dynasty. As long as the Kuancheng General Manager's Mansion is taken down, it can threaten the Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty and prevent the Yuan Dynasty from marching southward.

These requirements of Zhu Han can be described as extremely harsh. On the one hand, they emptied the family property of Goryeo, so that they had no extra food and grass reserves; They have no power to follow.

Then there is Quan Qian of the Eight Banners of Goryeo and a group of "Korea traitors" flooding the Goryeo court!
In order to give the King of Koryo time to think about it, Zhu Han ordered the Eight Banners soldiers of Koryo to suspend their offensive and retreat to the four gates of the city, and they were not allowed to enter the city to burn and kill.

Because he has already seen it, if he doesn't stop it, then these crazy Koryo Eight Banners soldiers will probably turn Kaijing City into a wasteland.

In the burning, killing and looting, there was too much meaningless destruction, and I couldn't get much benefit from it.

Lu Che brought these surrender conditions proposed by Zhu Han back to the Koryo Palace.

As soon as Wang Qi, the king of Korea, saw these so-called surrender conditions, he immediately became ashamed and angry.

"Losing power and humiliating the country!"

"Ashamed of my ancestors!"

"If you agree, how can I see my ancestors!"

These demands made by Zhu Han were fatal, and they did not leave the dignity of King Goryeo at all.

But the situation is stronger than the people, and now Koryo City has been completely breached by the Red Scarf Army, and the four gates have been completely breached, turning Kaijing City into a wasteland, it is only a matter of Zhu Han's thought.

As for Qin Wang's soldiers and horses from all over the country, it will take three to five days at the earliest to reach Kaijing!
And in three to five days, anything can happen!

Lu Che and other Korean officials all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The king of Korea, Wang Qi, also remained silent for a long time.

. . . .

At this time, it was already dark.

Under Zhu Han's order, the Red Turban Army had already withdrawn from the streets of the city, and only defended and controlled the four city gates.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Han has already said that he needs His Majesty's reply after the sun rises tomorrow, otherwise, the red scarf bandits will slaughter the city!" Lu Che said.

The king of Korea, Wang Qi, was extremely depressed when he heard this, and he paced back and forth in the palace at a loss.

Wang Qi couldn't make up his mind either.

At this time, another Minister of Korea persuaded, "Your Majesty, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to send Your Majesty out of the city? As long as Your Majesty leaves Kaijing, we can command and dispatch all kinds of King Qin's troops to retake Kaijing! "

As soon as he said this, the king of Korea, Wang Qi, remained silent, that is, he did not agree. On the one hand, the Red Scarf Army surrounded Kaijing heavily, and it was absolutely impossible to evacuate safely.

The risks involved are too great. Maybe if Wang Qi, the king of Korea, is not careful, he will be killed by the scouts of the Red Scarf Army as soon as he leaves the city. Moreover, Wang Qi of Korea is not willing to abandon his wife's pagoda.

At this time, another Minister of Korea suggested: "Your Majesty, let's procrastinate! We use a procrastination method. As long as we can procrastinate for three to five days, the soldiers and horses of King Qin of each way may be able to arrive!"

"The red scarf thief must be afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so he will definitely retreat!"

"Drag word trick?!"

The king of Goryeo, Wang Qi, was already a little moved. It would be great if he could be dragged to other places to serve the king, and he would definitely not have to accept these humiliating surrender conditions.

Afterwards, the King of Korea, Wang Qi, and the ministers of Korea began to discuss various methods of delay.

However, Zhu Han would not give them this chance.

The next day, early in the morning.

Just hear a loud bang!
The king of Korea, Wang Qi, and others hurriedly boarded the tall buildings of the palace and looked out.

I saw a city wall on the west side of the capital of Gaoli Kai, which had already disappeared into the dust all over the sky!

The dust from the hustle and bustle covered most of the city wall!
The Red Scarf Army used gunpowder to blast a section of the city wall of Kaijing City, and at the same time declared Zhu Han's attitude.

All the monarchs and ministers of Korea were stunned!

If it is said that the Koryo army was raided by the Red Turban Army in the chaos yesterday and lost the city of Kaijing, it can be said that it was negligent.

Then this morning, the Red Scarf Army used gunpowder to destroy the city wall of Kaijing!
It completely frightened the monarchs and ministers of Korea!

Being able to destroy the impenetrable rammed earth city wall with one blow, such a terrifying strength is simply not something the Goryeo army can resist!
Everyone is completely desperate!

Even if Qin Wang soldiers from all walks of life come, they are definitely not the opponents of the Red Scarf Army!
At this time, after the explosion, Zhu Han sent someone to negotiate with the King of Korea, Wang Qi, and others!
The person who is the envoy is none other than the Banner Master Qian of the Zhenghei Banner of the Goryeo Eight Banners Army!
As a former courtier of King Goryeo, Quan Qian is now the orthodox envoy of the Song Dynasty!
As the saying goes, 'the envoy of a big country is like the king of a small country'!
Behind Quan Qian is the invincible Red Scarf Army.

Seeing the previous monarch Wang Qi, he had no scruples at all.

"Your Majesty, my Commander-in-Chief said that the time has come! If Your Majesty still refuses to accept the conditions, then prepare to destroy Kaijing City together!" Quan Qian said.

It was Quan Qian himself who requested him to come to the Palace of Korea this time.

Because of Quan Qian's understanding of the King of Korea, Wang Qi, the King of Korea didn't dare to do anything to him!
For King Wang Qi of Korea, no matter how humiliating the surrender conditions are, he will agree!

Sure enough, under both soft and hard measures, the King of Korea, Wang Qi and others who had been frightened into stupidity quickly agreed to all the conditions proposed by Zhu Han!
Conditions such as supplying food and grass, killing Cui Ying, etc., were immediately implemented.

Three days later, Koryo General Cui Ying, who was leading an army desperately marching towards Kaijing, died in the army because of King Wang Qi of Koryo who sent someone to carry Wang Ling and poisoned wine!

The Koryo army was immediately disappointed and shocked by the brutal killing of loyal ministers by the King of Koryo!

Loyal ministers like Cui Ying were all killed by King Goryeo, so why would anyone else care if they were loyal or not? King Qin's army instantly scattered.

Overnight, Goryeo has changed!

Zhu Han set up the Goryeo Protectorate in Goryeo, and he personally served as the Goryeo Protector.

The Goryeo Guard House manages the Goryeo Eight Banners Army, and Quan Zhe and others lead each banner army separately, controlling all key places from Jeolla Province to Yang Guang Road!
The whole country of Koryo was in chaos!
The Goryeo Eight Banners Army took control of Kaijing, and the Goryeo King Wang Qi had completely turned into a puppet.

In Koryo, there were those who obeyed the order and surrendered to the Red Scarf Army, and were trained to enter the Eight Banners of Koryo.

There are still many unwilling to rely on local forces to separate the regime and try to resist the Red Scarf Army!

The Goryeo Eight Banners Army quickly fought with the rebels from all walks of life.

Goryeo is in chaos, all of these are in Zhu Han's calculations!A messy Goryeo is a good Goryeo!
In this way, the Koreans can help An An feel at ease as the Red Scarf Army's doglegs, and a chaotic Korea is in line with Zhu Han's current interests.

Goryeo, who was in a mess, naturally lost his mind to covet Tamna Island.

Zhu Han transported the grain and grass looted from Goryeo to Tamna Island.

Subsequently, more than 1 Korean women were transported back to Jiangnan with Zhu Han!

When the news came back to Jinling, the entire Longxing army was filled with joy!
These men who have been fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers for many years are all single!
These Korean women have been carefully selected, and regardless of their appearance or body, they are all above average!
These more than 1 Korean women happened to assign meritorious soldiers in the Longxing Army to be their wives, which solved the problem of most of the soldiers in the Longxing Army being single.

Although the salaries of these soldiers are very generous, it is really difficult to find wives. Most people are not willing to marry their daughters to these killers who work everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang also strictly forbids robbing civilian women, which naturally created a large number of bachelors.

Zhu Han's more than 1 Korean women just solved the urgent need!
Outside Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang, king of Wu, personally led hundreds of officials, large and small, from Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces, as well as generals of the Longxing Army and others to welcome Zhu Han who was triumphant at the Jinling Wharf.

This large-scale triumphant ceremony was not only for Zhu Han, but also for promoting the great martial arts of the Red Scarf Army to the people in the south of the Yangtze River!
"Destroy a country in two months and forcefully surrender the enemy's monarch! Famous generals from ancient times to the present are rare!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Han on the shoulder and said with a loud smile.

Zhu Han felt a little embarrassed about this compliment, "Brother, Koryo is just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, and our soldiers are like dragons and tigers, so it's easy to catch! Famous generals, I can't afford it!"

"I can afford it, I can afford it! Our little brother is a famous general!"

"You don't know, once Goryeo surrenders, the general situation in this world will become clearer!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

. . . . .

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was true. When Goryeo was in chaos, the Mongolian Yuan Liaoyang Province immediately became tense.

Facing Goryeo's betrayal.

The Jurchen barbarian soldiers who had just been mobilized in Liaoyang Province naturally didn't dare to move anymore. They still had to stick to the line of defense on the Yalu River Changbai Mountain to prevent the Red Turban Army from going northward through Koryo.

In this way, Mao Gui, a general of the Red Turban Army, led a troop of soldiers and horses, went up from the Yellow River to the Taihang Mountains to the north, and dug a hole in the middle of the Mengyuan Mountain West Hebei. When they broke through the northern pass, The Red Turban Army of the Northern Expedition already had as many as 10 people.

Even, most of the capital of Mengyuan was shocked three times a day!
Rumors that all kinds of Red Turbans were about to attack the capital city were flying all over the sky. For a while, even the capital of Meng Yuan was panicked, not to mention the rest of the provinces, states and counties.

Rebel armies from all walks of life in various places developed in full swing. The Mongolian and Yuan officials in various places refused to respond to the imperial court's order to dispatch troops and condemn generals.

The world's anti-yuan form is great!
There are even many optimistic people who have speculated whether the Mongolian and Yuan courts will go back to the grassland in one, two or three years.

Zhu Han doesn't care much about these estimates of future prospects. At this moment, he only thinks about one thing, which is to continue to 'build walls high and accumulate grain widely', because my brother is already the king of Wu,' said Huan "Wang" can only be replaced with "Huan Chengdi", of course, this can only be said by the two brothers in private.

In the current Tianwan regime in the Huguang area, Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang and others have just annexed more than half of Jiangxi, and they may send their troops eastward at any time to seize the rich and treasured Jiangnan.

At this time, Xu Da's army had already invaded Fujian. With the cooperation of Chen Youding and others, the Semuren rebels were driven back to Quanzhou.

Zhu Han only needs to send another navy to encircle them, and he can wipe out all the Huihui in Quanzhou!
Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were busy digesting the fruits of victory in Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, while in Bianliang City in the north, Emperor Han Liner of the Great Song Dynasty also made the most optimistic judgment in the face of a good situation in the world.

"Prime Minister, Zhu Han just defeated Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo surrendered to Song Dynasty. In this way, can he directly attack Dadu?" Han Liner asked while sitting on the dragon chair.

Hearing Han Lin's words, Liu Futong was not so optimistic.

"Your Majesty, the king of Korea, Wang Qi, surrendered to Zhu Han, but not to me, Da Song!"

Liu Futong said with a gloomy face.

"Prime Minister, what's the difference? Zhu Han, isn't he also an official of Song Dynasty?"

Liu Futong sighed helplessly, "Alas! Your Majesty, brothers Zhu Yuanzhang must already have a heart of disobedience!"

"Brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han have two hearts, so what should we do?" Han Liner asked quickly.

"Actually, it's not difficult. As long as your majesty is strong enough, it's not impossible to suppress their brothers!" Liu Futong said.

For Han Liner, Liu Futong really helped Han Liner with all his heart.

Liu Futong and Han Liner's father, Han Shantong, are considered close friends. Now that the world is in chaos, Han Liner, the emperor, is not in a position of blessing, and he is really trembling like walking on thin ice.

"Prime Minister, tell me quickly, what should I do?" Han Liner asked.

"Your Majesty, now that Meng Yuan is about to die, we can accumulate more prestige at this time, so that everyone in the world can see...you are a promising king. In that case, no matter how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers are, they will always be able to do so." Don't mess with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, otherwise...they will be traitors!"

"Crazy ministers and thieves, everyone gets them and kills them!"

What Liu Futong said immediately made Han Liner understand.

"Prime Minister, do you want me to fight on the battlefield?" Han Liner asked.

"That's right. In fact, His Majesty doesn't need to actually go into battle to kill the enemy. He just needs to show his face on the front line a lot. For the soldiers, that's enough." Liu Futong said.

Many soldiers of the Red Turban Army were originally White Lotus followers.

They have always respected the leader Han Shantong.

As long as Han Lin'er showed his face more, he could easily win the support of most Red Turban soldiers.

"Just this, is that enough?" Han Liner asked.

"Of course not enough. Brother Zhu Yuanzhang is too powerful, so we must find a way to win over the other leaders. We must not let them go to Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, once Brother Zhu Yuanzhang is strong, we will not raise the banner of our Red Turban Army." , that’s going to happen.”

Liu Futong's words made Han Lin'er think so.

Up and down the Red Turban Army, almost one-third of the food and grass supplies now need Zhu Yuanzhang's support.Once Zhu Yuanzhang gained the support of many rebel generals again, the airs of the Red Scarf Army'Da Song' would collapse.

"Uncle, just tell me, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, they had waved their hands to screen the maid and the others away, and immediately became cordial.

"Your Majesty, this is not a difficult matter. Add officials and ranks to the leaders of all walks of life, so that they are on an equal footing with Zhu Yuanzhang, and even those who are highly respected are higher than Zhu Yuanzhang. Doesn't this make it difficult for them to get together?" Liu Futong Said.

I have to say that Liu Futong's political level is really not very high.

He could think of ways to divide Zhu Yuanzhang and other leaders.

Apart from this one, there is nothing else.

However, as long as Han Liner feels good, that's enough.

"Okay, Uncle, the method you mentioned is great." Han Lin'er suddenly became happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now the King of Wu.

King Ying, second only to Liu Futong, is the largest rank of knights in the Red Turban Army.

In this way, he will definitely be able to gain the respect of other leaders from all walks of life.

And once they also gained a high status.

When looking at Zhu Yuanzhang again, he will definitely not be so willing to step down.

soon.

In the name of the Great Song Emperor, Han Lin'er rewarded and promoted the leaders of the rebel armies from all walks of life in the Central Plains.

For example, Peng Da, Zhima Li, Mao Gui, Guo Zixing and others were all made kings, and their official positions were also given the title of Marshal of the Marching Capital of such and such a road. More than 20 well-known "kings" emerged from the Red Turban Army.

Jiangnan, Jinling.

Zhu Han soon got the news that Han Lin'er was enshrining the kings in the north.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite speechless about this.

"What a fool!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but sneer.

"That's right, the official title system was just established not long ago, but it didn't take long to assign the titles of kings and marshals randomly. If this continues, everyone in the world will think that the Red Turban Army is a grassroots team." Zhu Han said.

The official title system is the foundation of a regime, once it falls into chaos, it is not far from regime chaos.

One of the important reasons for the chaotic situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the later generations was the random distribution of feudal kings. In the end, there were thousands of princes, big and small, which was a huge policy mistake.

Naturally, Zhu Han didn't think that Han Lin'er was just playing around, and had already guessed that it was aimed at his brothers.

"We still have to pay attention to this matter. Liu Futong must have become suspicious of us, unlike before, he really treats us as brothers in the rebel army." Zhu Han said.

"He Liu Futong doesn't regard us as brothers, and we are not afraid of him. Now that Jiangnan is in our hands, we need soldiers, money, food, and food. What is that kid Han Liner doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When Zhu Han thought about it, it was indeed the case.

Under their governance, Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces have exploded with vitality.

The population, tax burden, and food in Jiangnan alone are enough to supply hundreds of thousands of troops.

So for Liu Futong's suspicious behavior.

After discussing with Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was no need to pay any attention to him.

Just act as if nothing happened, and everyone maintains a superficial harmony.

The two brothers continued to build high walls in Jinling to accumulate food.

Soon after, something that made Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang feel even more speechless came from the north.

"July [-]th, Han Lin'er actually wants to go to the Northern Expedition in person. This is really treating the war as a joke." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han speechlessly.

"Han Lin'er has spent a lot of money in order to raise his reputation." Zhu Han said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed when he heard this statement.

"Anyway, Han Lin'er went to fight the Mongols after all. He is still a man at such a young age." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"However, this matter is not a small risk. If Liu Futong causes any accident to Han Lin'er, he will have to play it off."

Zhu Han's worry is not unreasonable.

Because in today's Bianliang City of Kaifeng, many generals of the Red Scarf Army are also opposing Han Liner's decision to go to the Northern Expedition in person.

Kaifeng Bianliang City.

Inside the palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

Today's Great Song Palace is actually a little bit shabby, not only without carved beams and incense houses, but also without any gold bricks and jade tiles.

The Great Song Palace in Bianliang City was improved on the basis of the original Mongolian Wei Palace.

"Your Majesty, the war is dangerous! If His Majesty personally marches, what will Da Song do if there is any accident?"

The person who said this was wearing a yellow royal uniform, and he was Mr. Guan who had just been conferred the title of prince.

Hearing Mr. Guan's words, many generals of the Red Turban Army also advised Han Lin'er not to march in person.

However, in the face of the persuasion of many generals of the Red Turban Army, Emperor Han Lin'er of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed unmoved.

The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty Liu Futong said, "Don't talk about it, everyone. I have already discussed this matter with His Majesty. Now Meng Yuan seems to be dying. His Majesty will personally go to the court to show the power of the Great Song Dynasty to the world. No matter how normal it is!

As for the danger, how could His Majesty have it with the help of loyal generals and civil servants!

God bless!Nothing goes wrong! "

"Yes! The Prime Minister is right!" Han Lin'er followed suit, "This time the Northern Expedition to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, I must personally go to battle and chop off the heads of a few Mongolian Tartars to comfort the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty."

When Han Liner said this, he seemed to have really regarded the dozen or so emperors of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties as his ancestors.

After all, his current name is Zhao Lin'er, not Han Lin'er.

There was nothing anyone could do about Han Liner's persistence.

In the end, the Red Turban Army could only support the plan of Emperor Han Lin'er of the Great Song Dynasty to conquest himself.

Subsequently, Han Lin'er issued an edict in the name of Emperor Song.

It expresses that it will call on the Han people, common people and gentry all over the world to rise up and resist, and deal the final fatal blow to the Mongolian and Yuan courts!
The news of Han Lin'er's personal conquest quickly spread to the Mongol capital.

The Empress Dowager Qi of the Great Yuan Dynasty had already been devastated by a series of bad news.

Her home country, Koryo, was defeated and surrendered by the Red Turban Army not long ago. The Korean people completely fell to the Red Turban Army, and soon sent troops to attack the Yuan Dynasty territory in Kuancheng to the north.

The garrison in Kuanchengfu surrendered, and the Koryo regime supported by the Red Scarf Army soon took control of all the land south of the Yalu River, threatening the safety of Liaoyang Province, the rear of the Mongolian Yuan.

Tens of thousands of Jurchen tribe warriors in Liaoyang Province did not dare to move lightly, and all went to the Yalu River to prevent Koryo from attacking from behind.

After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers in Goryeo today. Once they attack Liaoyang Province, they will threaten the heartland of the Yuan Dynasty.

Shangdu and Dadu were the last retreat of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Qi didn't have many soldiers and horses at all, and all the soldiers and horses were concentrated in the Shangdu area of ​​Dadu to ensure the safety of her retreat to the Beitao Grassland.

In the Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi areas to the south of Dadu, only a few regimental generals such as Chahan Timur, Li Siqi, and Boluo Timur relied on their own troops to resist the Red Turban Army.

The ministers of the Yuan Dynasty in various places have almost no clear support for the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Dynasty, and are in a state of sitting on the fence.

After all, they also knew that Meng Yuan was cruel and unkind, and the Red Scarf Army robbing the rich and helping the poor was not what they wanted.

So many of them have adopted the strategy of not helping each other.

Among this group of officials of the Yuan Dynasty who waited and looked on, the most loyal ones seemed to be the Confucius family, who was conferred by the Yuan Dynasty.

At the beginning, Yan Shenggong of the Kong family sent someone to secretly contact Da Song of Bianliang.

But Liu Futong sent people to beat them out with sticks. Not only did they confiscate the gold and silver treasures they used to bribe, but they were also humiliated by the envoys of the Confucian family who shaved their heads and had tattoos on their faces, and drove them back to Jining Mansion in Shandong.

As soon as the envoy saw Duke Kong Yan, he burst into tears and accused the Red Turban Army of atrocities!

Yan Shenggong Kong Kejian also understood that the Red Turban Army has completely looked down on the brand of Yan Shenggong.

The prestige and status of the Kong family are not worth mentioning to the red scarf army.

The Red Scarf Army relies on the millions of civilians based on the White Lotus Sect, not Yan Shenggong and other scholars at all.

Under such circumstances, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian began to recruit troops in Jining, actively preparing for the battle to repair the city wall, preventing the Red Turban Army from taking down Jining, and taking tens of thousands of fertile fields and manors from the Kong family.

For Mr. Yan Sheng's act of protecting Da Yuan so loyally, the Empress Dowager Qi immediately issued an order to praise Yan Sheng Gong Jiaye.

At the same time, she also ordered that the generals of regimental training and armed forces in various places be given greater rights, allowing them to recruit troops from various places, and there is no longer a limit on the number of soldiers.

And let them serve as political officials, supervisors and tax officials in various places.

In other words, the Yuan Dynasty court recognized the autonomy of these regimental generals in various places, which is basically equivalent to the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, with military, political, supervisory and financial powers in one body.

Under such circumstances, the abilities of Chahan Timur, Boluo Timur, Li Siqi and others have been brought into full play.

In just one month, their troops and horses more than doubled in terms of expansion. Suddenly, the military pressure that the Red Turban Army would face in the Northern Expedition suddenly increased.

However, Liu Futong, Han Liner and others knew nothing about this situation.

The autumn wind is bleak, and it is September.

Han Lin'er, in the name of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, swore to the Northern Expedition outside Bianliang City.

Liu Futong, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, embraced the emperor Han Liner across the Yellow River and headed north.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty along the way were simply unbearable.

In this regard, both Han Liner and Liu Futong felt that they should be able to conquer Dadu soon, and even began to discuss the management of Dadu in the future.

However, just after entering the border of Daming Mansion in Hebei, the Red Turban Army encountered strong resistance.

"Which one is the Tartar general guarding the Daming Mansion ahead?" Liu Futong asked a Red Turban Army general.

The general immediately came up to answer, "I would like to inform the Prime Minister that it is Chahan Timur who is guarding the Daming Mansion!"

"It turned out to be Chahan Timur, who is also our old acquaintance."

"It's nothing to worry about your defeat." Liu Futong said with a smile.

At this time, Han Lin'er in military uniform asked, "What is the official position of Chahan Timur now?"

Liu Futong's general quickly said: "Your Majesty, Chahan Timur is now the military commander of the Daming Mansion, and also serves as a royal official."

Han Lin'er heard this, nodded with a smile and said,

"It seems that this Chahan Timur has really been put in good use, but his promotion has come to an end. When our army invades the Daming Mansion, he will be buried."

Song Emperor Han Lin'er's Northern Expedition this time can be said to be like a rainbow. He has won successive victories along the way. Naturally, a famous mansion is not in his eyes.

However, the Yuan Army of Daming Mansion quickly dealt a head-on blow to the Red Turban Army.

In the first battle, a young general of the Yuan army who was only in his early 20s led an army to raid that night, and the Red Turban Army camp was in chaos immediately.

The first battle is a fiasco!

Han Lin'er's emperor majesty was also scattered all over the place by the Yuan army.

Liu Futong protected Han Lin'er and retreated ten miles, waiting for the reinforcements of the follow-up army.

Inside the Red Turban Army camp.

Han Lin'er looked devastated, sitting on a top chair, and the Prime Minister Liu Futong next to him also lost the pride he had at first.

"Who is this general in the Daming Mansion?" Han Lin'er couldn't help but trembled.

Last night, the Yuan army in Daming Mansion launched raids again and again. The Red Scarf Army didn't know how many soldiers and horses the Yuan Army dispatched. There was a fiasco of trampling on each other.

The Red Scarf Army not only lost their camp, but also lost the emperor's guard of honor and flags.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the last general has been found out. The general of the Yuan army in Daming Mansion yesterday was named Wang Baobao." Liu Futong said disappointedly.

"Wang Baobao?"

Han Liner was puzzled for a while, he was very unfamiliar with this name.

"That's right, it's Wang Baobao. This man is Chahan Timur's nephew. He grew up with Chahan Timur since he was a child. He has been in the army for the past few years. He is an old opponent of us, but he didn't have such great skills before. , now it seems that he has grown a lot!"

The person who said this was Mr. Guan Duoguan, the think tank of the Red Turban Army.

The failure suffered by the Red Turban Army was actually not a big deal for the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

But their defeat at the foot of Daming City really cheered up the Yuan army.

The Red Turban Army's imposing Northern Expedition encountered extremely tenacious resistance under the Daming Mansion.

The Yuan army, mainly composed of cavalry, sneaked up on the checkpoints of the Red Turban Army and frequently attacked the logistics and food roads of the Red Turban Army.

The Red Turban Army quickly became tired of coping with the flexible cavalry tactics of the Yuan Army, and there was no good way to do it.

In this way, the Red Turban Army suffered the failure of the first Northern Expedition under the city of Damingfu.

"Give me the explosive siege!"

Liu Futong pointed to the Daming Fucheng in front of him, and said angrily.

"No, Prime Minister! The Tartars are very cunning. They have dug dozens of trenches outside the city and filled them with water. Once we dig tunnels, we will bury our brothers in the tunnels." The general immediately Persuade.

After many times of actual combat experience, digging ditches outside the city to prevent tunnels approaching the city wall can be said to be the best way to defend against blasting.

No matter how stupid the Yuan army is, after so many actual battles, they have learned how to avoid being breached by the red scarf army.

Several trenches filled with water outside the city blocked the Red Turban Army.

In the city of Daming Prefecture.

The governor of the Daming Mansion in Dayuan, Pingzhang Chahan Timur of Henan Province was already ill in bed at this time.

Not long ago, he was assassinated by several assassins sent by the Red Scarf Army, and his old injuries had recurred, so he was no longer able to handle military affairs, and all military affairs were entrusted to his nephew Wang Baobao.

This time Wang Baobao was able to give full play to his talents in Daming Mansion, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yuan army.

Chahan Timur didn't have any worries about this up-and-coming nephew.

"This time the red scarf thieves will definitely retreat, and they must take advantage of the victory to recapture Bianliang. They must not be given the opportunity to establish or rebuild their power in Henan." Chahan Timur is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty. He has formulated a counterattack plan in detail.

In front of his hospital bed, the Yuan army general was Wang Baobao.

After hearing Chahan Timur's instructions, he immediately said loudly, "Don't worry, uncle, I will live up to my uncle's orders and punish these red scarf thieves for the court!"

The victories of Chahan Timur and Wang Baobao in Daming Mansion soon inspired Boluo Timur, Li Siqi and others around them.

They successively sent reinforcements outside the city of Daming Mansion, and started a fierce battle with the Red Scarf Army.

Although the Red Turban Army has a numerical advantage, the elite of the Yuan Army has already received the full support of most of the imperial court, as well as various support from the local government.

Faced with such a situation, the Empress Dowager Qi of Dadu immediately sent someone to issue an order to Ha Ma, the Prime Minister of Zuo in Shandong Province, and the Confucius family of Yan Shenggong in Jining Prefecture, asking them to send troops across the Yellow River and directly attack the people in Henan Province. Behind the Red Scarf Army, Bianliang, Xuzhou and other places.

In this way, the goal of besieging Wei and saving Zhao can be achieved, and the Red Turban Army of Daming Mansion will be in chaos without fighting.

Dadu, within the palace of the Yuan Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Qi is convening a meeting of civil and military ministers.

Empress Dowager Qi looked at the battle report sent in front of her, and her pretty face was already smiling.

"This Chahan Timur's nephew is called Wang Baobao, he is really a hero!"

"As expected of a loyal minister of my Great Yuan!"

"Such a loyal minister and good general must be praised vigorously. We must not delay the dedication of the loyal minister and good general to serve the country just because he is stingy with some titles!"

Empress Dowager Qi's words immediately received unanimous approval from a group of civil and military ministers.

After some more inquiries, Empress Qi learned from Wen Manchao and the ministers that Chahan Timur's nephew, Wang Baobao, was only 20 years old this year, and she was suddenly surprised again.

Empress Dowager Qi hurriedly asked her courtiers, "Did Wang Baobao ever get married?"

"I remember that there are quite a few princesses of the imperial clan in the imperial court, such as princesses, who are not married. You can give him a marriage to show the kindness and honor of my Great Yuan Dynasty's loyal ministers!"

However, even if Empress Qi wanted to promote her loyal ministers, she would have to wait until after the Red Scarf Army had been defeated.

After all, the Red Scarf Army still has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed under the city of Daming Mansion.

If the Red Scarf Army cannot be repelled, I am afraid that Wang Baobao, Chahan Timur and others will lose their lives, let alone enjoy some kind of honor and marriage.

Empress Qi and the civil and military ministers of the Yuan Dynasty issued an edict in a hurry. On the one hand, they mobilized all the military supplies and supplies from the Zhongshu and Liaoyang provinces near Dadu, and provided them to Chahan Timur, Li Siqi Boluo Timur on the front line. Wait for the general.

On the other hand, Ha Ma, Kong Kejian and others in Shandong were repeatedly urged to lead their troops across the Yellow River to attack Xuzhou and Bianliang.

Soon, the entire Yuan army knew that it was at the critical moment of life and death, and an unprecedented unity broke out.

Zuocheng Hama of Shandong Province dispatched [-] elite soldiers to join forces with Kong Kejian, Duke Yansheng of Jining!
A total of 3 troops were sent to cross the Yellow River overnight when the Red Turban Army was unprepared, and attacked Xuzhou by surprise.

Although the Great Yuan Loyalty Army led by Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian did not take down Xuzhou, they defeated the remaining soldiers of the Red Turban Army outside Xuzhou City, making the Red Turban Army dare not continue to chase.

Then they turned west and pointed directly at Bianliang City. For a while, rumors that Bianliang City was broken were flying all over the sky, and soon spread to the north bank of the Yellow River.

The Red Turban Army was under the city of Daming Mansion, and could no longer advance an inch, and news came from behind that Bianliang City was raided by the Yuan Army.

All of a sudden, the morale of the army was disturbed, and all the generals persuaded Han Lin'er and Liu Futong to retreat.

For this result, Han Liner and Liu Futong were not reconciled.

They mobilized the army to go to the Northern Expedition in person, and they didn't want to just run back in such a disheveled way.

If he doesn't take down the Daming Mansion, it won't be enough to show Han Liner's emperor's majesty to the world.
