Zhu Xi walked down from the city tower and led the army on the streets.
The once prosperous city was now in a mess. When Emperor Yuan Shun fled, he took everything in the city with him, leaving only the people who were crying for food.
Facing the somewhat numb but hopeful gazes of these commoners, Zhu Xiong felt slightly emotional. These Han commoners were already afraid of being enslaved by Yuan Court.
Zhu Xiong stopped and looked at the people around him. He said,
"My fellow villagers, you are all sons of the Han Family. You have been enslaved, oppressed, and bullied by the Yuan Court. You live like cattle and sheep.”
"But…"
"From today onwards, all that is in the past!”
"The world has returned to the hands of the Han people. The imperial army of the Ming Empire has already expelled the Mengyuan Hu Krupp from the Central Plains. You will no longer be oppressed by those barbarians.”
"I swear in the name of the Third Prince of the Ming Empire that every household will be able to get a piece of land and start a new life with their own hands!”
Zhu Rong's heartfelt words were clearly heard by every Han citizen.
Their numb and empty eyes gradually regained some vigor. When they heard that Zhu Xiong was going to give them land, excitement appeared on their faces.
"Really…Really?"
"Will the Imperial Court really give the land to us peasants?”
A commoner next to Zhu Xiong asked in a trembling voice.
His family had been tenant farmers for generations. They got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs every day. They worked hard, but not only did they not have enough to eat, but they were often hungry.
Owning a piece of land that belonged to them was something that was beyond their reach for the Han people who lived under the rule of the Yuan Court!
When Zhu Xiong heard this Han commoner call him a lowly commoner, his nose slightly turned sour, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Once upon a time!
How proud were the sons of the Han family!
But now, the Han Clan's sons had become 'untouchables' one by one!
"Yes, definitely!"
"I guarantee in the name of the Ming Empire's royal family that I will definitely distribute land to the people!”
"Besides, you're not a commoner!”
"From today onwards, you are a citizen of the Great Ming Empire, an upright man!”
Zhu Rong patted his shoulder and made a solemn promise to him. He personally patted his back and straightened his spine, making him stand up straight.
"I... I'm not a commoner."
"I... I'm... The citizens of the Ming Empire were…You're a man!"
When this commoner heard Zhu Rong's words, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He was sobbing uncontrollably. For the first time, he felt like a human!
He felt as if there was a ball of hot blood rushing up in his body, making him unable to help but roar at the sky.
"I am a citizen of the Ming Empire!!!”
"I'm an upright man!!!”
Years of oppression, accumulated resentment, and grievances were all released at this moment.
This commoner's voice was like a fuse that instantly ignited the emotions of the surrounding commoners, causing them to resonate. One by one, they roared towards the sky.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"I am a citizen of the Ming Empire!!!”
"I'm not a commoner!!!"
"I'm an upright man!!!”
"Long live! Hooray! Long live!"
"Long live the Ming Empire!”
Everyone used all their strength to shout, their voices filled with endless pride. From today onwards, they stood up!
Zhu Xiong looked at the excited Han commoners and nodded in satisfaction.
The son of the Han family had stood up!
I will never allow the Hu Krupp to take half a step into the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains!
"Pass down the order to distribute some of the army's rations to the people so that they can have a full meal.”
Zhu Xiong instructed the deputy general beside him.
"Understood!"
The deputy immediately left.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"You're really a good person! He's our savior!"
"You must have been sent by the heavens to save us!”
When the surrounding commoners heard this, they immediately kowtowed to Zhu Xiong in thanks.
When Yuan Shun Emperor Tuokuantimur escaped, he had plundered almost all the food of the people in the city. They had not eaten for many days, and many people had starved to death.
Now.
Zhu Xi was their light!
After pacifying the people, Zhu Rong led the army to rest in Dadu City for a few days. He then sent the army to continue to attack Yunzhou, Tanzhou, Jizhou and other places in the north. He wanted to take back the sixteen provinces of Yanyun that had been occupied by the foreign tribes for hundreds of years.
Now that Emperor Yuan Shun had run away, the officials of these prefectures were mostly Mengyuan nobles and had long fled to the grasslands with Emperor Yuan Shun.
Recovering these prefectures was a piece of cake.
The army fought all the way from Dadu to Liaodong. Due to the bitter cold weather and insufficient food supplies, the soldiers were not used to the weather and stopped.
At this point.
The sixteen provinces of Yanyun, which had been occupied by the non-humankind for hundreds of years, finally returned to the embrace of the Han Family. The world was completely unified!
......
Jinling City.
In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers were holding a court meeting.
However, compared to the past, there were far fewer ministers in the court. Most of them were civil officials, with only a few generals.
Most of the generals had followed Zhu Rong to the Northern Expedition of Dayuan.
After all!
This was a crucial battle for the Ming Empire to unify the world. There wasn't a general who didn't want to participate.
"
Reporting to Your Majesty, the Third Prince has sent a battle report!”
A golden melon warrior who was guarding the palace walked into the main hall excitedly and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Last time, the Third Prince's news was that he had taken down half of Yuan Court's territory. This time, he might have broken through the capital of Yuan Court and destroyed Northern Yuan!
"Pass!"
"Quickly pass it on!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little excited. Clearly, he had some guesses in his heart.
Very quickly.
A travel-worn but energetic messenger soldier with an excited expression was brought in by the Golden Melon Warrior.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor!”
"This general has been ordered by the Great General to deliver a battle report to Your Majesty!”
The messenger soldier knelt on one knee and held the battle report high with both hands. His expression was extremely pious, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
This time.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't order anyone to present it to him. Instead, he walked down from the dragon throne.
Because he was too excited, he almost fell down. Fortunately, the chamberlain beside him quickly supported Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Slow down, Your Majesty! Be careful of your dragon body!”
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the chamberlain and shook off the chamberlain's arm that was supporting him. He walked even faster towards the messenger soldier.
"Huff huff huff huff ~"
The closer Zhu Yuanzhang got to the messenger soldier, the heavier his breathing became. He was extremely nervous and excited.
Arriving in front of the messenger soldier, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out with a trembling hand to pick up the battle report. He slowly tore open the envelope, his Adam's apple moved, and he could not help but swallow.
All the ministers 'gazes were focused on this battle report, holding their breaths, their expressions excited.
That was because…
Everyone had a rough guess in their hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly took out the battle report from the envelope and opened it. The words on it entered his eyes.
After taking down Dadu, Emperor Yuan Shun escaped and recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Yuan Court was destroyed and the world was unified.
One by one, the key words and phrases bloomed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, causing his arms to tremble violently. The battle report in his hands moved up and down with his trembling hands.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"We won! We won!"
"The Emperor of Dayuan was so scared by our son that he fled to the grassland. He took down Da Du effortlessly and then recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun that had been occupied by the non-humankind for hundreds of years!”
"Yuan Court is destroyed!"
"Unify the world!"
"Our Great Ming Empire has unified the world!”
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed maniacally as the scenes of the past replayed in his mind.
Parents starved to death, brothers starved to death, became monks, begged, joined the rebel army, married and had children, destroyed Fang Guozhen, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng...
A bowl at the start!
Over the past ten years, he had fought from the south to the north and sat on the mountains and rivers. Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he was dreaming!
Ever since Zhu Rong joined the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had cheated.
In just a few years, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and even the Yuan Court that had occupied the Central Plains for more than a hundred years had been wiped out one after another. It was simply too exaggerated!
I have a divine son!
At least half of this world was due to his son!
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the ministers were shocked. Their eyes widened and they couldn't help but gasp.
They had guessed that Zhu Hui would win, but they never expected him to be so brave and awesome!
The Emperor of Dayuan was scared away!
He had also recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun that had been occupied by the foreign tribes for hundreds of years!
Just this achievement alone was enough to be recorded in the annals of history, passed down through the ages, and revered by the descendants of the Han family!
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun meant a lot to the people of the Central Plains!
He was the natural barrier of the north, the natural Great Wall that protected the people of the Central Plains. Now that this barrier was back in the hands of the Han family, it gave countless people of the Central Plains a strong sense of security.
The Third Prince Zhu Xi was a hero of the Han people! He was also the pride of the Han family!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor!!!”
"Long live Great Ming!!!”
"Third Prince, live a thousand years!!!”
A tsunami!
The ministers were excited!
Great Ming Unification!
