If these people were captured and brought back, according to Zhu Xiongying's plan, they would be left to build the Great Wall in the north. Their only fate would be to die of exhaustion.
Using the Mongolians to build the Great Wall against the Mongolians might be a happy thing.
"I can take the Imperial Jade Seal in exchange for their safety," Concubine Yuan said timidly.。”
Suddenly, Zhu Xiong Ying's laughter stopped. He stood in the carriage and looked at Yuan Fei with trembling hands and feet.
With a solemn expression, Zhu Xiongying said,""Yuan Ting's precious seal has already been captured by our army. Where is the Imperial Jade Seal you mentioned?”
"In the capital, as long as you agree to let them live, I can bring you to the capital to retrieve the Imperial Jade Seal. I've been ordered by the heavens to live forever!"
Concubine Yuan gritted her teeth. The Yuan Dynasty had lost its advantage. From the start of Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition until now, the Ming army had only suffered a major defeat in the battle against the Mongolian army. It was the battle between Xu Da and Wang Baobao. The Ming army had lost half a move.
After Xu Da was defeated for a while, the chain reaction was that Feng Sheng lost all the gains of the war and retreated to the pass.
Zhu Yuanzhang had made a name for himself. Up until now, the Ming army had always had an overwhelming advantage over the Mongolian army. Consort Yuan said that she wanted to exchange the Imperial Jade Seal for the lives of these 70,000 people.
Zhu Xiongying found it hard to make a decision.
Even with his identity as a transmigrator, he yearned for the Imperial Jade Seal forged by the Ancestral Dragon, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born and raised here.
Swallowing his saliva, everyone in the world knew how attractive the words 'by the heavens, longevity' were to the Central Plains Dynasty.
"Are you sure you can find the Heirloom Seal?”
Zhu Xiongying asked. This matter was of great importance, so he couldn't be careless.
The lives of these 70,000 people could be guaranteed. The temptation of the heirloom seal was too terrifying.
Naturally, giving them a way out was not letting them continue to cause trouble outside the pass. Wasn't that asking for trouble?
"I hid the Imperial Jade Seal. As long as you haven't dug three feet into the ground and changed your appearance, you can still find it."”
Zhu Xiongying placed his hands on his waist, his eyes flickering as he paced back and forth in the carriage."Who else knows about this?”
"There are no two of them!"
Concubine Yuan's eyes were deep as she spoke with certainty.
Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly and said," Alright then. As long as we can obtain the Imperial Jade Seal and prove that it is real, I can ask Grandfather for an edict to forgive these people."”
"Let them live in the pass, but I guarantee that if any of them dare to rebel, incite others, or have evil intentions, these 70,000 people will all be buried with them!”
"In addition, these 70,000 people are not allowed to take a step north of the Yangtze River within five generations.”Zhu Xiong Ying was going to bring them to Ying Tian Prefecture.
As for how many of these captives were left in the Ying Tian Prefecture and how they were to be arranged, it was up to his grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, to decide.
However, as long as Zhu Xiong Ying could find the Imperial Jade Seal and bring it back in one piece…
Taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's joy when he obtained the jade seal, as long as they were strictly guarded, it was not impossible to give these people a chance to live.
"In that case, thank you, Your Highness."
Yuan Fei said respectfully.
Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head." You are the Imperial Consort. In comparison, we still have relatives. Didn't Wang Baobao's sister marry Second Uncle Qin Wang?"”
With such a huge advantage, Zhu Xiongying could imagine how the old man would reward him after he returned to the capital with the imperial seal and the triumphant army.
With his good mood, he naturally spoke more smoothly.
"That's because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to drive a wedge between Emperor Shun and Wang Baobao, but he obviously didn't succeed."”
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Wang Baobao was indeed a capable person. His strength level, leading troops in battle, and arranging troops were not inferior to Xu Da.
Even more so
It was also because of Wang Baobao's existence that the Ming army was wary of the Mongols. Zhu Yuanzhang could not summon them to surrender, so he could only torture Wang Baobao to death.
It was obvious how capable Wang Baobao was.
For him to be able to defeat Xu Da by himself, it already proved his extraordinariness.
Zhu Xiong Ying glanced at him and said,"I gave you the carriage to sit on and give you the chance to speak. I didn't want you to talk about the Ming Emperor here."”
"Your situation is much better than the princess of the Northern Song Dynasty.”
Zhu Xiong Ying was about to get off the car when the Brocade Guard at the side said,"Your Highness, it's better to stay in the car. It's almost night.”
"Is it dark already?" "Bring the horse over." Zhu Xiongying nodded.”
"Yes ~"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly pulled a fast horse and rushed over. Zhu Xiong Ying mounted the horse and asked doubtfully,"Where are we?"
"We're almost at Xifeng Pass. After Xifeng Pass, we'll be considered to have entered the mainland.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.
They could finally return to the pass. This long journey had been very frustrating.
"Xifeng Pass?" Zhu Xiong Ying's heart thumped. He looked at the sky and thought that it was bad. He quickly rode forward.
After a while, Zhu Xiong Ying finally arrived beside Lan Yu and looked at the Great General Cannon and Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Zhu Xiong Ying reined in the reins of his horse and walked to the front of the army formation. He berated,"What do you want to do? What was this place? Are you going to fight all the way to Ying Tian and rebel?”
Waving their horsewhips, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the soldiers of the Firearm Battalion quickly caught up with Zhu Xiongying. The two teams were facing each other at the foot of Xifeng Pass.
