Chapter 20: Zhu Ying

"Report."

"Victory report from Danning Prefecture."

A loud shout resounded outside the hall.

Immediately following.

An urgent messenger rushed into the hall and knelt directly in the center.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"Victory report from Danning Prefecture."

The urgent messenger took off the bamboo tube containing the victory report from his back and held it up with both hands.

"Biao'er was right."

"It seems Danning Prefecture really has achieved some results," Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Then he waved his hand.

The attendant beside him immediately walked down the hall, took the bamboo tube, and quickly turned to present it to Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang opened the bamboo tube and took out the victory report inside.

After one look.

A smile also hung on his face: "Hahaha."

"Bu Wan, this Battalion Commander is not bad."

"Our Great Ming soldiers attacked the land of the Northern Tatars, annihilating over 6,000 enemies, capturing over 3,000, while our army's casualties were no more than 4,000; a victory in battle."

"Haha, not bad."

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud.

"We congratulate the Emperor."

"This attack, the first battle is a success, it must be the Emperor's blessing, the Great Ming's blessing."

"Our Danning Prefecture is located in the northern frontier, bordering the Northern Yuan, and bordering these Jianzhou Tatars. These Jianzhou Tatars are the lackeys of the Northern Yuan, disturbing the peace of our Great Ming's border prefectures. This time, beheading so many Tatars will surely greatly deter the Northern Yuan."

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

The civil and military officials in the court congratulated Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

"Eh."

After putting down the victory report.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang gave a light "eh," because under the victory report, there was also a battle report.

With a bit of surprise.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang opened this battle report, and after a close look, Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became surprised.

The court officials watched, and most of their expressions also became curious.

"Father Emperor."

"Is there something else in Danning Prefecture?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.

"Biao'er."

"Look."

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang handed the small battle report in his hand directly to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao walked forward with doubt and took it.

When he saw the content on the battle report, Zhu Biao's expression also became quite surprised.

"To think there is such a fierce soldier." Zhu Biao was quite surprised.

"Crown Prince."

"Did something happen in Danning Prefecture?"

A military official stood out and asked respectfully.

"Read it out."

Zhu Biao handed the battle report in his hand directly to the attendant beside him.

The attendant took it, immediately picked up the battle report, and read aloud: "Subject Bu Wan reports to the Emperor! This time, our Danning Prefecture border troops attacked the northern frontier, in one battle defeating the Jianzhou Tatar border army, with rich spoils. The key to this victory lies in a squad of our Danning Prefecture border troops, named Zhu Ying, who is fierce and brave, charging into the enemy formation, not fearing death, killing 103 enemies alone, and bravely beheading the Tatar general and capturing the Tatar battle flag, causing the Tatar army's morale to collapse and their spirit to be completely lost! Therefore, our army achieved a great victory over the Tatar army and completed the encirclement."

"According to the Emperor's established military merit system, I have rewarded Zhu Ying according to his merits, promoted him five ranks, and appointed him as a Battalion Commander."

"This child is fierce and brave, with extraordinary strength, so I report to the Emperor."

Hearing this.

The civil and military officials in the court could not help but look at each other.

"Killing 103 enemies with the strength of one person? One person killed 100 Tatars?"

"This... this battle report can't be fake, right?"

"With such strength, is this still human?"

"In the past, how fierce was the Prince of Kaiping? He took the lead in battle, and when he fought Chen Chen Youliang, killing over 70 enemies in one day was already the strongest battle result of that time."

"How fierce is this child? Actually killing 100 enemies?"

"Impossible, right?"

"Not only killing 100 enemies, but also beheading the general and capturing the flag."

"This battle result is a bit too much."

"The battle result statistics are calculated by the army's pacification office and reported layer by layer, how could it be fake?"

"Perhaps our Great Ming really has produced a fierce general in this battle."

Regarding this battle result, the first feeling of the court officials was that they were shocked, and the second was that they couldn't believe it.

After all, this battle result seemed a bit too unbelievable.

Killing 100 people alone.

Killing chickens wouldn't be that easy, right? Not to mention the fierce Tatars of the northern frontier.

"My son congratulates Father Emperor."

"Having such a brave general in the army is the blessing of our Great Ming."

Zhu Biao turned around and congratulated Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Killing 100 enemies, beheading the general and capturing the flag."

A look of shock also hung on Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

And his thoughts also returned to the time when he fought Chen Chen Youliang, which was the critical moment for wiping out Chen Chen Youliang and unifying the south.

"Superior."

"Just wait for this battle."

"Watch me personally slaughter those brats of Chen Chen Youliang."

"However, for this battle to capture the city, you must give me Chen Chen Youliang's sweat-blood horse; it cannot be cheaper for Xu Da and the others."

A middle-aged man stood in front of Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, saying very confidently.

Then he picked up his saber and went.

The result of that battle.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered clearly.

His brother Chang Chang Yuchun took the lead, killing 78 enemy soldiers, and Chen Chen Youliang's son was also slashed to death by him.

After that battle was won.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered raising Chang Chang Yuchun's hand and shouting in front of the whole army: "See that? This is my brother, this is the god of war in my army."

The memory of that moment was now presenting itself in Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"Father Emperor."

Zhu Biao called out softly.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, then regained his focus, and a smile also appeared on his face.

"Biao'er was right."

"Such a brave general appearing in our Great Ming is indeed the blessing of our Great Ming," Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang said with a laugh.

"Father Emperor."

"This battle report can be presented to Ying Tian, so the battle result must have been calculated clearly and there will be no falsehoods."

"This child is so fierce and brave, he should be cultivated with emphasis," Zhu Biao reported immediately.

"Biao'er was right."

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, completely agreeing with what his son said.

"Right, what was his name again?"

But as soon as the words fell, Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang forgot Zhu Ying's name, having been completely attracted by the battle result of killing 100 enemies alone.

Thinking of this.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly flipped through the battle report.

"Father Emperor."

"This general's name is Zhu Ying," Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Zhu Ying?"

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his heart seemingly trembling.

But he quickly recovered.

"Pass on my decree."

"Bu Wan's reward according to military merit is not bad. In my Great Ming, in my world, no meritorious official will be buried; as long as one achieves merit for the country, there will be rewards."

"The Ministry of War will spread Zhu Ying's battle results throughout the army to inspire all the soldiers," Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang decreed immediately.

Tang Duo stood out immediately: "Subject acknowledges the decree."

"Now that the Danning Prefecture border troops have achieved results, I believe the Yuan court and Nahachu must have actions."

"Pass on my decree."

"Let Bu Wan hold on well for me. After taking over, the Danning Prefecture border troops might face a large-scale attack from the Yuan court and the Tatars."

"Let him persist, the real main course of our Great Ming will arrive soon," Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sneer.

The Danning Prefecture border troops were the bait.

In the eyes of the Northern Yuan, they might be the main force, but in reality, the real main force was behind!
