Lan Yu's bravery not only exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations, but even Duan Zihao never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would have such a powerful general under his command.
Duan Zihao said: "If this person is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble in the future."
As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist.
But at this moment, a general beside him said: "No, you are the commander of the army now. You must not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary."
After hearing this, Duan Zihao suppressed his anger a little.
After thinking for a moment, Duan Zihao said: "We can't defend that piece of land on the beach no matter what."
"That area is within Zhu Yuanzhang's artillery range. Pass the order down, have the soldiers fight and retreat."
"Once we reach the beach and gather Zhu Yuanzhang's tens of thousands of troops, we will make a desperate move."
…
Lan Yu's first battle went relatively smoothly.
Because Duan Zihao had no intention of holding on to that small piece of land on the beach.
He was waiting, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to gather more troops on the beach.
Otherwise, if he just uses the tactic of adding fuel to the fire against a few thousand people, Duan Zihao will definitely be defeated.
On the warship in the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited.
He never expected that he could achieve a small victory so easily.
But at this moment, Zhu Wenzhen felt a little sour in his heart.
In fact, Zhu Wenzhen didn't like fighting.
During the Battle of Hongdu, he was coerced and bribed by Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time before he agreed to be the general defending the city.
However, the situation at that time was completely different from that moment.
When Zhu Wenzhen stayed in Hongdu, he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang could defeat Chen Youliang at all. If Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated, his nephew would surely end up being crushed to ashes.
But now it is different. The world is right in front of them. Zhu Wenzhen has firmly believed that the future world will belong to their Zhu family.
Looking at Lan Yu who was making great achievements not far away, Zhu Wenzhen felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lan Yu has achieved a small victory on the battlefield, so he is destined to be the second person to enjoy Zhao Min.
…
Zhu Yuanzhang on the treasure ship laughed a few times, then said to Zhu Wenzhen beside him: "My dear nephew, you fought well in the battle of Hongdu."
"Now, Lan Yu has achieved a small victory on the battlefield. Now, it depends on you."
"You lead 5,000 soldiers to support Lan Yu, and make sure that piece of land on the beach is firmly under our control."
"Otherwise, my 300,000-strong army will not be able to assemble."
Zhu Wenzhen said: "Don't worry, uncle, I understand."
"Just nephew, I have a small request."
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today. He said to Zhu Wenzhen, "Nephew, you are too polite. We are all family. There is no need to ask for anything."
"Just say what you want to say."
Zhu Wen Zheng was delighted and said quickly: "Uncle, if I can capture Zhao Min with my own hands during this Northern Expedition, can you give her to me for one night first?"
Zhu Wen Zheng had just finished saying this when he felt a burning pain on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang's slap was without any mercy.
He was not entirely angry at Zhu Wenzhengdao for still thinking about those thieves and prostitutes at this time. He was angry at why his nephew was so disrespectful.
If Zhao Min could be captured alive, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be the first to enjoy her, and it would never be the turn of a junior like him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's slap made Zhu Wenzhen dizzy.
What followed was his scolding of Zhu Wenzhen: "You kid, you have brought disgrace to our Zhu family."
"The world is still unsettled, but your mind is full of dirty thoughts about thieves and prostitutes."
"If you dare to be so unambitious again, you'll have to go back to your hometown in Fengyang and farm."
Zhu Wen Zheng hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you, you misunderstood my nephew. I just wanted to be the first one to make Zhao Min suffer a fate that prevents her from living or dying."
"My nephew is only interested in avenging the past humiliation for the Han people, and has absolutely no thoughts of being a thief or a prostitute."
"My nephew's thoughts are exactly the same as my uncle's."
"Uncle, isn't that what you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, feeling guilty, suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
He quickly said: "I, of course I think so, but the Mongols have been oppressing us for a long time."
"The first person to avenge my previous shame must be me."
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he glared at Zhu Wenzhen fiercely.
From this look, Zhu Wenzhen already understood the intentions of his good uncle.
Zhu Wen Zheng thought to himself, "It seems that the first person to enjoy Zhao Min will have to be my good uncle."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Wenzhen led several thousand soldiers to meet Lan Yu, who had just experienced a bloody battle on the beach.
Zhu Wen Zheng said with a forced smile: "General Lan, I really didn't realize that you are usually very low-key, but you are really brave in fighting."
Lan Yu said with a smile: "Of course, I am only trying to share your majesty's worries."
Zhu Wen Zheng laughed and scolded: "Come on, we are all men, we all understand each other."
As he spoke, Zhu Wenzhen put his arm around Lan Yu's shoulders.
He smiled and said to Lan Yu: "General Lan, this time my uncle has sent a total of 700,000 troops to attack Zhao Min."
"Then it is only a matter of time before Zhao Min is defeated."
"But now that Zhao Min is in your hands, you have to be gentle, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do anything."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then they laughed obscenely at the same time.
…
On the other side, inside the imperial city of Yuan Dadu.
A little girl named Ye Heling has already packed her luggage.
She was the little maid who helped Zhao Min bathe last night.
At this moment, the little girl was already riding on a tall horse.
But just as she was about to ride away, she suddenly fell down.
She kowtowed three times towards the Daming Palace.
Then she whispered, "Your Majesty, you asked me to leave."
"You are a good man. The Mongols are unpopular. Your defeat is probably only a matter of time."
"At this time, you can still let me go. I, Ye Heling, thank you for eight generations of ancestors."
"Now that things have come to this, I can only wish you good luck."
"If you can regain control of the world, I will definitely come back to your side and be your slave, no matter how hard I try."
"Even if you lose the battle, I will set up a tablet for you and make sure to offer you three incense sticks every morning and evening."
After saying these words, Ye Heling kowtowed three times again in the direction of the Daming Palace.
