Chapter 64 The slave soldier Meng Yuan takes action
"Your Highness, there are still some things in Shengjing City that require His Highness to make decisions personally." At this time, Zhu Wulan said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
“Many of the people we captured were originally from our Ming Dynasty.
Some of them were rebellious and had forgotten their ancestors. They took refuge in Jiannu and became his ministers. Minions.
There were also some people who came to do business with Jiannu. Through interrogation, it was learned that they had been doing business with Jiannu and smuggling salt, iron, tea and other contraband.
How to deal with these people? Please make your decision, Your Highness. "Zhu Wuli said with a cold tone.
"Traitor! Zhu Houzhao was furious, "Kill them all, and don't let anyone go." ”
“What about their families? "Zhu Wulan asked again.
Everyone present knew that His Highness valued human life very much and did not want to be involved in any big way. For example, after entering the territory of Jiannu, he never massacred the old, weak, women and children.
As for burning and looting, these are necessary means of war.
So they have not dealt with it privately.
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao thought seriously for a while, but no one bothered him.
“Lao Wang once said that children from wealthy families usually start to become sensible at the age of eight.
Since they have become sensible and enjoy the benefits of traitors, they should be killed.
In the families of these traitors, all three generations of relatives over the age of eight were killed.
Forget about those under eight years old. Just let them go, little brats who don’t know anything. "Zhu Houzhao said.
"Your Highness, keeping anyone under eight years old will ultimately be a disaster.
It is better to gather these children together and train them to be my dead soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Ye spoke, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"What trouble? Is this prince still worried about the revenge of a few brats? "Zhu Houzhao said domineeringly.
As he said that, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Death warrior~, that's okay, but he is no longer a citizen of our Ming Dynasty."
Immediately, he looked at Zhu Ye and said seriously: "Uncle, you can never take advantage of me in the future. The people of the Ming Dynasty will be killed."
"I understand." Zhu Ye's heart jumped instinctively, and he felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
Let him not be able to resist at all.
But he was not surprised but happy.
Because he knew that in addition to the increasing strength and prestige of the prince.
I became the dark night incarnation of the prince, and it really paid off.
"Well, Uncle Thirteen, where are those businessmen from?" Zhu Houzhao nodded, as if he had thought of something, and asked angrily.
"It's Shanxi merchants." Zhu Wulan replied with a somewhat focused tone.
"Shanxi merchants, send orders to Dongchang and Jinyiwei to check and check clearly for this prince. No one can be missed.
These are also traitors, and I want to kill them all. "Zhu Houzhao said angrily with raised eyebrows.
"Yes. "Zhao Zheng and Cao Shaoqin, who stayed here to represent the factory guards, responded quickly.
In fact, they had already ordered this matter.
Because they knew that His Highness would definitely not let this go.
But with His Highness’s official order, they can go all out to investigate without any scruples.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. The number of Jiannu soldiers we have captured has reached about 35,000.
Twenty-five thousand of them follow Mr. Wang, and there are about 10,000 free.
In addition, we have captured thousands of Jiannu noble family members.
What should we do with these people?" Zhu Wuwu asked again.
“Those captured soldiers were escorted back to the Ming Dynasty, and this prince just happened to have some use for them.
Ignore the family members of the nobles, old and young. Pick the young ones and bring them back to the Ming Dynasty. They will be married to my Ming Dynasty soldiers in the future. "Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and said decisively.
"Yes. "
After reporting some more things, Zhu Houzhao patiently made a decision, and impatiently led a part of Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry to the south to find Wang Shouren.
"Minions see Owner! "
In the camp, more than 20,000 Jiannu knelt down and saluted respectfully. Zhu Houzhao could clearly see the awe and emotion of treating him like a god.
So he was a little startled, looked at Lao Wang who was standing on one side in confusion, and immediately sent a message and asked: 'How do you lead this? ’
‘Your Highness, there is no need to doubt that Jiannu is governed by the slave system.
For them, it is just a matter of changing to a more powerful master, which is not difficult. ’ Wang Shouren replied calmly with a smile.
Well, it shouldn’t be difficult.
Zhu Houzhao nodded secretly. It shouldn't be difficult, and I can definitely do it.
Looking at the army of more than 20,000 Kinnu in front of him, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and shouted loudly and domineeringly: "From today on, you are the slave soldiers of this prince.
If one day, any one of you can achieve enough merits,
I will allow him to join the Ming Dynasty and become a true Ming Dynasty person and become my brother.
Understood. ”
"Long live the master! Long live the master!"
Suddenly, the sound was loud, and most of the Kinnus were breathing heavily, with longing shining in their eyes.
Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly.
Wang Shouren also smiled happily, His Highness has really grown up.
At the same time, his eyes were looking at some Kinu generals calmly.
I remember a few people who were actually indifferent to their emotions and even hid their resentment.
Two more days passed.
While the team was wrapping up and starting to retreat back to the Ming Dynasty, an urgent message came.
“Your Highness, four days ago, the Jin Yiwei detected that the 30,000 cavalry led by Meng Yuansi Hanfei had merged with the 70,000 cavalry led by Kublai Khan, the Great Khan, and headed straight for Gansu Town.
It should be five hundred miles away from Gansu Town at this time," Yan Nantian said quickly.
Zhu Houzhao stood up, his eyes showing traces of murderous intent.
“The Meng Yuan could not help but continue to take action. Although the Ilkhan Court was the closest, it had to worry about the Jin, Liao and Song Kingdoms and lacked strength, so it was the Khan Court that took action.
< br>What's their speed?" Wang Shouren asked immediately.
“We travel about a hundred miles a day.” Yan Nantian affirmed.
"Baili, Meng Yuan's goal is not to town Gansu at all, but to force His Highness to go and fight them." Wang Shouren said firmly.
"Old Wang, you stay and clean up your tail, while Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry follows this prince to Gansu Town." Zhu Houzhao said decisively.
"Your Highness, please do not be impulsive." Wang Shouren said hurriedly.
Zhu Ye here also spoke to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Kublai Khan does not dare to capture Gansu Town easily.
Once Kublai Khan dares to capture Gansu Town, it will be a complete war with the Ming Dynasty.
Over the years, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has refrained from going to war with the Ming Dynasty, and only sent Oara and Tatars to harass the Ming Dynasty.
It is because I, the Ming Dynasty, have the deepest foundation. Over the past hundred years, several heavenly beings have appeared.
It is now late September, and heavy snow may fall at any time in the north.
Kublai Khan did not dare to capture the town of Gansu and go on a killing spree.
Because he didn't dare to bet whether there would be someone in the realm of heaven and man who couldn't bear to see it and take action against him.
In the heavy snow, the cavalry was greatly affected. Even if Kublai Khan led 100,000 cavalry, it was difficult to withstand the attack of a powerful celestial being.
So, he would never dare to take action easily. "
"At this time, he led an army of 100,000 to approach Gansu Town, mainly to provoke His Highness to fight. ”
Wang Shouren said solemnly.
