Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 605 The Unification of Mountains and Rivers

The coalition forces of the thirteen dynasties were defeated, and the territories of each dynasties were empty. The thirteenth army of the Taiwu Dynasty was like a broken bamboo all the way, and successfully attacked the capitals of each dynasties.

Hongwu Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion

When Li Jing led the Wuwei army to the city, everyone in the Hongwu Dynasty was still in a state of confusion. No one could have imagined that Lao Zhu, who had a destiny and a body, would be defeated by Zhu Houzhao.

But the Hongwu Dynasty was the Hongwu Dynasty after all. Empress Ma, Zhu Xiongying, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian and others were not ordinary people, and they quickly organized a large army to defend the city.

On the city tower, Empress Ma put on her armor and went into battle in person, and asked Li Jing angrily: "Li Jing, if you are not assisting your emperor in the gray prairie, how dare you come to us and act presumptuously."

Li Jing knew that this was Empress Ma's temptation, and replied respectfully: "Emperor Hongwu and the rulers of all dynasties have been defeated by His Majesty Emperor Taiwu of our dynasty, and all the coalition forces of the thirteen dynasties have been wiped out. Empress Ma should not make a fearless resistance. "

"I express my deep respect to Your Majesty to Empress Ma, and I ask this Commander not to be rude, and please Queen Ma not to embarrass him."

The news that Lao Zhu is not dead has been spread everywhere according to Zhu Houzhao's order. Empress Ma will not be unaware. Now, it depends on how Empress Ma chooses.

Empress Ma took a deep look at Li Jing, she was not low in political wisdom, how could she fail to see Zhu Houzhao's calculations.

Before Lao Zhu died, it would be impossible to establish a new emperor to stabilize the situation. Zhu Xiongying's prestige was far less than that of Lao Zhu, and it was impossible for her to ignore Lao Zhu.

Naked conspiracy.

With a secret sigh in my heart, I looked at Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and other important ministers of Hongwu, and made the last struggle: "I am facing a catastrophe, what is the strategy for all the ministers to retreat from the enemy?"

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, Liu Sanwu, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others looked at each other, but were speechless.

Retreat the enemy?
They are all civil servants, not military generals. They are usually masters in intrigue and power manipulation, but they are really not very good at fighting.

They all knew in their hearts that the elite of the Hongwu Dynasty had all gone to the gray prairie to participate in the battle, and Yingtian's remaining soldiers were no match for Li Jingwu's mighty army at all. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not change the fact of defeat.

Unless time can be turned back, the Hongwu Dynasty will be annexed, and there is absolutely no escape.

Some people are even thinking about how to cater to Zhu Houzhao and find a better future in the unified Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Empress Ma immediately understood that these ministers were helpless and did not make things difficult for them. Looking at Zhu Xiongying who was also in deep thought, she asked, "Xiongying, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiongying came back to his senses, and sighed helplessly: "Grandmother, the matter has come to this, you and I are powerless, let's descend!"

"Zhu Houzhao is also of the blood of my Zhu family, so I don't think he will treat us too harshly."

"Besides, the emperor's grandfather and father are still in Zhu Houzhao's hands. Even if they don't surrender, what can we do?"

After being trained by Lao Zhu and influenced by Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying is outstanding in both character and ability.

At this critical moment, the first thing he thinks of is the safety of his grandfather and his own father, rather than taking the opportunity to seek a high position, and Zhu Yunwen is simply two extremes.

If he were to change places, with Zhu Yunwen's indifference, he would definitely not care about Lao Zhu's life and death, and let him live the emperor's addiction first.

Lao Zhu didn't love his eldest grandson in vain.

Empress Ma gave Zhu Xiongying a distressed look. This precious grandson had a chance to become a generation of sages, but he missed it after all.

But Zhu Xiongying's sensibility also made her feel deeply relieved. She patted Zhu Xiongying's shoulder and said softly, "Son, I'm sorry for you."

Both grandparents and grandsons have made up their minds, they can't ignore Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

They can stick to Yingtian, no matter how powerful Li Jingwu's army is, they will not be able to deal with them for a while, they are not afraid of [-], just in case.

If Zhu Houzhao became angry because of this, and directly made Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Empress Ma and Zhu Xiongying dare not gamble on Zhu Houzhao's character, let alone think that Zhu Houzhao has no courage to kill his ancestors.

Zhu Qizhen's lesson from the past is still in front of us!
A person like Zhu Houzhao only has imperial power and the country in his mind, and the so-called blood relatives cannot restrain him.

"General Li, I can surrender unconditionally, but you must guarantee the safety of my emperor and my son Zhu Biao."

In a word, it announced the end of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Yongle Dynasty, Beijing
All the moat formations were deployed to fully protect the capital.

The large formation is connected to the veins of the earth, and the capital is unbreakable until the power of the veins is exhausted.

No matter how elite the army of the Taiwu Dynasty was, it was nothing more than a gathering of human power, and it was difficult to compete with the power of heaven and earth.

However, no matter how strong the protective formation is, there are still places that cannot be defended, just like the hearts of the people.

Zhu Di was defeated, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were captured, the Yongle Dynasty lacked people who could take charge, Empress Xu was alone, and Sanyang, Xia Yuanji and others could only maintain the situation.

In the end, Empress Xu led the officials of Yongle to surrender in Kaesong.

Zhu Di has fallen into Zhu Houzhao's hands, so what's the use of defending the capital.

Xiaokang Dynasty, surrender!
Hong Xichao, come down!
Xuande Dynasty, surrender!
Jingtai Dynasty, surrender!
In the Chenghua Dynasty, Concubine Wan Gui wanted to resist stubbornly and supported Zhu Jianshen's son to ascend the throne. Unfortunately, in the face of the absolute power gap, everything was in vain.

The capital of the Chenghua Dynasty was forcibly breached, and Concubine Wan Gui was captured alive, but no one dared to kill the relatives of the royal families of various dynasties before receiving Zhu Houzhao's order.

Jiajing Dynasty, surrender!
Long Qingchao, surrender!
In the Wanli Dynasty, Zhu Yijun's favorite son, the main ingredient of the "Fu Lu Banquet", Fu Wang Zhu Changxun felt that he was quite capable, and wanted to struggle, but was beaten obediently and surrendered.

Taichang dynasty, this dynasty is interesting.

Zhu Changluo gave birth to too many sons, and he just cared about giving birth but not raising them, so Zhu Changluo's sons didn't have much affection for him at all.

Hearing that Zhu Changluo had fallen into Zhu Houzhao's hands, none of his sons panicked. Instead, they actively split the soil to become kings and divided up the land of the Taichang Dynasty.

When the army of the Taiwu Dynasty arrived, the Taichang Dynasty was already full of wars, and thousands of kings were added, so the army of the Taiwu Dynasty had to quell the chaos one by one, which took more time than other dynasties.

Apocalypse Dynasty, descend!
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, under the guidance and training of Zhu Houzhao, the ruthless, domineering and tough Zhu Cihong wanted to turn the tide, but when facing the elite army led by Kou Zhong, he still chose to understand the way from the heart.

Hong Wu, Xiao Kang

Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Jingtai, Chenghua
Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, Chongzhen

The lands of the various dynasties were captured. On the side of the Hongwu Dynasty, under the operation of Liang Chu, a large number of reserve officials were sent to the lands of the various dynasties to replace the original officials and deal with various post-war affairs.

Carrying out the policies of the Taiwu Dynasty, checking the population, and measuring the land are all tasks that must be completed.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, except Zhu Youtang's Hongzhi Dynasty.

Before Zhu Qiyuan set off for the Hongzhi Dynasty, Zhu Youtang first came to see Zhu Houzhao and asked two important questions, whether it was important or not, and whether it was important or not.

Of course it is not important to Zhu Houzhao, but it is very important to Zhu Youtang. If the problem is not resolved, he will not feel at ease to hand over the Hongzhi dynasty to Zhu Houzhao.

"How do you plan to deal with my courtier?"

This is Zhu Youtang's first question.

Zhu Hou looked at his face without changing his face and said: "Choose those who are capable and use them, and choose those who are incompetent and discard them."

Zhu Youtang frowned at his answer, not too satisfied, but he also knew that this was Zhu Houzhao's bottom line.

The difference between the capable and the incompetent lies in whether they can use it or not. To put it simply, those who are obedient can be used, and those who are not obedient can understand everything.

Zhu Houzhao always liked obedient courtiers, and those who were disobedient were either suppressed or killed.
