First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 97 Northern Yuan Nobles

   Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Biao asked Lan Yu Muying to lead them to drink. After a while, everyone in the camp went out except Quan Xu and Liu Jin.

  Zhu Biao picked up a few chopsticks leisurely, then looked at Prince Beiyuan who was a little lost and asked, "Are these people trustworthy?"

  Prince Beiyuan was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and said with a smile: "It's very believable! They're attached to you now, and they can't be driven 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 with a worried expression and asked: "Nanming is born like the sun, 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 Beiyuan and said, "Your Yuan Dynasty left us a mess. It will take many years to clean up the mountains and rivers. How can we not worry about it?"

  Prince Beiyuan laughed twice: "Why worry, you are still so young."

  After speaking, the two looked at each other for a while, and the two princes of the Great Unified Dynasty actually discussed state affairs together.

  Zhu Biao’s smiling face was a little stiff, and he stretched out his hand to rub his face and said, “It’s getting late, brother, please go on the road.”

  Prince Beiyuan covered his stomach, he laughed so much that he almost vomited out what he ate just now, he stood up slowly, straightened his waist, and clasped his fists at Zhu Biao with a smile: "Then Gu will take a step first."

Zhu Biao sat upright and looked solemnly at Prince Beiyuan. He straightened his sleeves, took out a delicate dagger inlaid with jewels from his waist, slowly pulled out the blade, and pointed at Zhu Biao. He said: "I will leave this dagger for you as a souvenir, thank you for the meal."

   After finishing speaking, he wiped his neck neatly. Zhu Biao looked at the Prince Bei Yuan who was slowly falling to the ground, and Wang Baobao, who also died by suicide, appeared in his mind for no reason...

   Liu Jin stepped forward and took out the dagger, but it was not handed over to Zhu Biao. The sharp weapon that just killed someone should be placed by his side first.

  Zhu Biao was overwhelmed and told Quan Xu: "Contain his corpse, don't allow anyone to insult him, and wait until the grassland finds a place with good Fengshui to bury it."

  Thinking about it, Xiangyou told Liu Jin: "Choose some good things from me to be buried with him."

  Prince Beiyuan thanked Zhu Biao for giving him dignity, and Zhu Biao also thanked him for not embarrassing the prince.

  The next day, Zhu Biao led the army to set off towards Shangdu. Zhu Biao only brought 20,000 troops with him, and Liu Bowen took the rest back to Beiping.

  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 worried that someone would escape, but finally found out. Under the management of those surrendered generals, the surrendered army is very well-behaved.

   There was no time wasted along the way, and those who encountered questions on the road were answered by those surrendered generals. They were all noble cavalry, and the people on the road dared not ask more questions after being whipped a few times, so they regarded them as the teachers of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and returned to the court.

   Not only did the journey go smoothly, but in order to gain Zhu Biao’s favor, the surrendered generals took the herdsmen’s cattle and sheep by force along the way, greatly reducing the pressure on the supply of food and grass for the army.

  Zhu Biao naturally would not be stingy with compliments. After a few visits, they were no longer in that disturbed state, and regarded themselves as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

  After a few days, he finally arrived near Shangdu. The journey went so smoothly that Zhu Biao wondered if Beiyuan was playing tricks.

   secretly ordered Lan Yu and the others, as long as those generals behaved strangely, they would directly kill them.

  Zhu Biao was not too nervous, after all, Bei Yuan had no troops to fight Zhu Biao, and what he was worried about was that the Emperor Bei Yuan had escaped, and let him go for nothing.

Those surrendered generals wrote letters and sent them to Shangdu, and in the evening there was a reply, which was filled with praises to Zhu Biao, and guaranteed that Emperor Bei Yuan was in the city, and no matter when Zhu Biao's army arrived, they would be there. Open the city gate to welcome the king.

  Zhu Biao did not relax his vigilance until the former army really entered Shangdu and the generals defending the city respectfully guided the route of the former army. Zhu Biao really stared at the tomb where Bei Yuan was buried.

  Zhu Biao hadn't entered the city yet, and a group of princes and nobles from Beiyuan were kneeling under his horse. They represented all the forces in Beiyuan except the royal family.

All the resisting forces in the city had been wiped out. Zhu Biaocai dismounted and set foot on the capital, surrounded by the pro-military forces and the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. There were trembling civilians hidden in the houses on both sides of the road. The city fell too quickly. They Still haven't realized what happened.

  Zhu Biao had no intention of massacring the city, so after entering the city, he announced that Quan Xu would lead the men to restrain those soldiers, but there was still some commotion in the far corner of the city, where there were women and children...

   Lan Yu Mu Ying, who had killed a few times in the city, walked up to Zhu Biao, knelt down on one knee respectfully and shouted: "Congratulations to the general for breaking the capital!"

Zhu Biao asked them to stand up and ordered: "Restrain the people, don't disturb the family members of those who have already taken refuge. There are still orders, everything they want will be clear and will be given, but if they violate military discipline Don't blame the military law for being ruthless."

Lan Yu Muying left as promised, and the princes and nobles around Zhu Biao were moved to tears. Apart from their own lives, what they worried most was that their family's finances would be looted. Less is naturally better. "

Facing the endless praises around him, Zhu Biao said: "You are all well-educated people, you must have heard my saying in the Central Plains that you can avoid disasters if you spend money, this will restrain your subordinates, but you should also express it? "

  Bu Yan Timur, formerly known to the Privy Council, said: "It's natural, I am a Ming Dynasty soldier who came from afar, and we should treat them like cattle and sheep. Gold and silver are all belongings outside the body, so we should dedicate them to Your Highness."

  Qingtong, Prime Minister Zuo of the original Zhongshu said: "I would like to give all the family wealth to Your Highness, just to keep the family safe."

  The rest of the people also made promises generously. As for the total wealth they said, it's hard to say.

  Zhu Biao didn't care either, the grassland was too far away from Daming, and it would take time to really control this place.

  Instead of killing these decadent Northern Yuan nobles, it is better to let them live and take care of the grassland for him.

  The vast land is very easy to give birth to heroes. Instead of creating conditions for those troublesome guys to rise, 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?

   Appeased the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and promised that as long as they send their families to Beiping, Zhu Biao will help them go to the court and entrust the grassland to them. As long as they provide cattle, sheep and horses every year, they can always rule the grassland.
