"The Emperor will not let you take in these surrendered Yuan soldiers. Instead, he will distribute them to the other vassal kings and the various military camps.”
"After all, the original Beiping Army only had 50,000 soldiers. The Emperor issued an order to attack the Yuan Dynasty and recruited another 50,000 young men. The Beiping Army has 100,000 soldiers. This is already extremely rare in the world. It is impossible for you to recruit these 80,000 surrendered soldiers and break the balance.”
After the black-clothed monk walked out, he said to Zhu Di very calmly.
"This king has made a great contribution this time. How do you think father will reward this king?”Zhu Di asked with a smile.
The black-robed monk did not answer directly. Instead, he walked to Zhu Di's side and sat down cross-legged. From his casual appearance, it was obvious that he had a very good relationship with Zhu Di. He could be so rude.
"It's nothing more than some monetary rewards.”
The black-robed monk smiled faintly, but he looked at Zhu Di meaningfully and said,""You're already a vassal king now. You're below two people and above tens of thousands of people. What else do you want?”
Hearing this.
Zhu Di's expression changed instantly.
"You monk, don't talk nonsense. If the Embroidered Uniform Guards discover you later, this king won't be able to protect you.”
Zhu Di said coldly to the black-clothed monk. He berated him, but his tone changed.
"Also, this king said."
"Father is here, big brother is here, this king will definitely not have any ill intentions.”
"Big brother is wise and benevolent. I, all the brothers, and all the officials.”
"In the future, when father is really a hundred years old, big brother will definitely be a wise ruler who will bless the world.”Zhu Di said.
"But the King of Yan's big brother is not a long-lived person.”The black-robed monk spoke again.
But in the next moment.
Zhu Di pulled out his sword and placed it on the monk's neck.
"Yao Guangxiao."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Do you know that if you say this, this king can kill you without the Embroidered Uniform Guard doing anything?”Zhu Di said angrily.
Perhaps only Zhu Di knew about the black-robed monk's ability and resourcefulness, but if Zhu Xiong heard his name, he would definitely know.
This was because there were records in later history that Yao Guangxiao, the black-robed demon monk, was the main planner of the Jingnan Battle. He was also a great contributor to the Jingnan Battle and was even known as the black-robed prime minister.
His relationship with Zhu Di was that of a teacher and a friend.
As for him, his intelligence was like a demon, and his strategy was shocking.
"If he wanted to kill, the King of Yan would have killed him long ago. Why wait until now?”
"In short, the King of Yan should just wait quietly.”
"This Penniless Monk's words will come true sooner or later.”
"The current Crown Prince is indeed wise. He is a brother and an official. The current Emperor has placed his greatest hopes on him, but this is also a crisis for the Crown Prince. He is too tired, and his body will collapse sooner or later.”
"Alright, that's what This Penniless Monk said. In short, I hope that Your Highness, the King of Yan, will make plans early.”
"This poor monk is willing to plan everything for Your Highness.”
As he spoke, Yao Guangxiao slowly stood up, moved Zhu Di's sword away, and walked to the back hall with a smile.
Looking at the empty hall, it was as if it had never appeared.
Zhu Di gripped the sword in his hand tightly. His eyes flickered with struggle, and his heart was in turmoil.
……
Northern Yuan Capital City!
"So this is the imperial palace of Northern Yuan. It is indeed magnificent and luxurious.”
"This Northern Yuan Emperor really knows how to enjoy life. He was chased to the border by my Ming Dynasty, but he still built such a big palace.”
"It's very simple. They enslaved our innocent Han people to do it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the ability.”
"Yes, I am."
"Brothers, didn't you see how happy the Han people were after we completely conquered this city? It seems like they have been oppressed for too long.”
"Now, they have finally returned home.”
"It's a pity that the Emperor of Northern Yuan and his officials have escaped. If we can catch them, it will be a great merit and we can avenge the people of these dozens of cities.”
"I have no choice."
"They have already fled back to the plains.”
……
Standing in front of the discussion hall of Northern Yuan's imperial palace, many soldiers were discussing and mocking Northern Yuan. At the same time, they were sighing that they had not caught the Northern Yuan Emperor and officials.
Perhaps this was also a huge disappointment.
At this moment.
Zhu Xiong slowly walked over under the escort of his personal guards.
"Greetings, General."
Seeing Zhu Xiong arrive, the surrounding soldiers all bowed and paid their respects. Every one of them had an expression of incomparable respect and worship.
Over the past two months, Zhu Xiong had led them to many great achievements. They had killed many enemies. In the First Army, there was even a saying that followed Zhu Xiong to eat meat.
If it wasn't for Zhu Xiong, they wouldn't have rushed to the capital of Northern Yuan before the other seven garrisons to take the final credit.
"No need for formalities."
Zhu Xiong smiled as he looked at everyone and waved his hand.
"Thank you, General." Everyone immediately thanked him loudly and stood up straight.
"Deputy Guard Liu, have the results and casualties been calculated?”Zhu Xiong asked Liu Lei.
In private, Zhu Xiong addressed Liu Lei as elder brother, but in front of the soldiers, he addressed him as an official.
