Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 91 Wala Attacks
  Huang Zicheng burst into tears with gratitude, and the two talked for a long time in the dungeon before Zhu Yunwen left reluctantly.

Before leaving, Zhu Yunwen used his status as grandson to arrange a relatively neat cell for Huang Zicheng, so that Huang Zicheng could live more comfortably in the prison.

Just when Zhu Yunwen was about to leave and went to Zhu Yuanzhang to plead for mercy, a sudden news broke everyone's plans.

Wala led an army of 100,000 to invade the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Bai, you were right, Wala is really here!"

At Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di came to see Bai Chu excitedly after learning the news about Wala.

For him, this is a great opportunity.

Because his third brother was already very ill in Taiyuan and could not lead troops to fight at all.

Now that the north is empty, the only way to restore peace in the north is by sending yourself to the front line.

It has just entered November, and it is already snowing.

It can be seen that the temperature this year is much lower than in previous years.

Thinking about the northern Tatar invasion last year, we can guess that this year's "Ora" will definitely be like the Tatars, or even more crazy than the Tatars' southern invasion.

It would be best if they could grab something to help them survive the cold winter.

However, if they can't grab anything and use the Ming Dynasty army to consume some of the population, Wala can survive this difficult winter. Therefore, not long after winter entered, Wala launched an attack on Datong and set up the Fu area.

The reason is simple: the weather is too cold.

Of course, there are also factors that have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.

However, just because it is irrelevant to Ming Dynasty does not mean that this matter is not important.

In fact, for nomads, this reason is one of the most important.

That was Mahamu, the leader of the Washi people. In October, he led his army to raid Lukbo's residence, which was the Mongolian royal court.

Lu Kebo had no defense at all. Even if he had the most powerful Xue Xue army, he was forced to retreat steadily.

The Tatars were originally just subordinates of the Tatar golden bloodline, but they chose to betray their original masters, fight back against the Tatars, and successfully occupied the most important royal court of the Tatars.

Since then, the Tatars have gradually declined, but the Walas have quickly appeared on the grasslands.

After the rise of Oara, Oara began to search for Tatars everywhere to accumulate strength and prepare for the next action.

Finally, in early November, Mahamu led a hundred thousand tiled cavalry from Xifengkou, Datong, and Xuanfu all the way to Gansu.

For a time, wars were everywhere in the north of the Ming Dynasty. A year ago, people who had just experienced a war were once again facing the threat of northern nomads.

If this group of Wala people were allowed to invade the pass, I am afraid that the people in the north would be destined to suffer a great disaster.

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not let Wala become arrogant, and he would definitely send himself to attack Wala.

However, when Zhu Di told Bai Chu and Yang Shiqi this exciting thing, the two of them were not in as good a mood as Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di saw this scene, he was also stunned and said quickly:

"Huh? Did I say something wrong? "..."

Bai Chu's voice sounded:
  "Your Majesty is right, but now is not the best time to return to Peking.

"Princess Yan has not yet arrived in Yingtian. If the prince leaves at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will be on guard. By then, the prince will be fighting outside without the support of the court. It will be even more difficult for him to achieve anything.

In addition, Peiping's industry has not yet fully recovered, and the old monk has just begun to accept it, and it will take a period of recuperation. Why don't the prince wait and see in the capital for a while, not only to appease the emperor, but also to delay some time for the old monk.

"With Bodhi Island and Navy in hand, our power will only get stronger and stronger. When our power is completely released, it will definitely shock the whole world." Yang Shiqi listened to Bai Chu's words , and added:
  “I think Wala came a bit suddenly this time.

"We only defeated the Tatars in October, and now it's only been a month since they started to fight against the Ming Dynasty."

"I guess this is because Mahamu wanted to show his strength. Last year, Lukbo attacked the Ming Dynasty and was defeated. As long as Mahamu wins a small victory, his prestige can be increased.

“So, Mahamu can’t hold on for long.

“However, Mahamu will definitely come to grab it this winter.

"After all, this winter is really difficult, but Mahamu must have been fully prepared and will definitely catch us off guard. As for the location and timing of the attack, I don't know.

Since Yang Shiqi entered the palace, he has been discussing the situation between the DPRK and China with Zhu Di and Bai Chu every day.

Although Zhu Di did not explicitly tell him that he was going to rebel, Yang Shiqi still sensed some clues.

But now, he and Zhu Di are already on the same boat, and even his mother, wife and children have been taken over, which makes it almost impossible for him to cut off the relationship.

Moreover, Zhu Di was also polite to him, and Yang Shiqi's mentality began to change.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Yang Shiqi was not very resistant to rebellion, and even occasionally put forward unique insights.

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately felt a little wilted.

Originally, he thought he could return to his peak condition, but he didn't expect that he would be happy in vain.

The three of them were talking when suddenly a servant came to report that there was a decree in the palace and asked Zhu Di to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Zhu Di and his two counselors looked at each other, then nodded to each other, and then Zhu Di entered the palace under the leadership of a young eunuch.

In Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Yuanjian was discussing with several generals about the invasion of Wala.

Originally, the Tatars were in decline, and everyone in the government and the public thought that this year would be peaceful. Who would have thought that as soon as the Tatars fell, another tile would appear.

Above the court, the ministers were whispering to each other and discussing military matters, while Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, waiting for Zhu Di to appear. When it comes to using troops, Zhu Di is second only to Zhu Yuanzhang in the court. He has been dealing with northerners all year round and must have his own opinions on the affairs of Oala, so Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Di into the palace. Not long after, Zhu Di was brought to the palace.

"I have met my father.

Zhu Di bowed, and Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, sat upright, and softly uttered one word toward the center of the hall: "Get up.

"Do you know about Wala's dispatch of troops?"

Zhu Di did not hide anything and told what he knew.

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's words suddenly shocked Zhu Di's heart, his face turned red, and he became excited.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion.

Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, as well as the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War, have all arrived.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also summoned the two left and right governors of the Governor's Mansion.
