Chapter 263 Don’t you have to go to court?
"Do we need to guess? It must be General Xu," Huo Qubing said with a smile. Since the immortal said so, who else could it be if not General Xu?
"I guess it's General Xu," There's no need to guess, but since the immortal asked, it's better to give an answer or two.
"It's Senior Xu Da. The Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty highly recognized your contributions, Senior Xu Da." Otherwise, he would not have been ranked first among all the ministers.
People from the time of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also wanted to know where they ranked. Of course, they were referring to those generals who did not live to see Emperor Taizu build a temple for his meritorious officials.
The generals of other dynasties looked at their emperors with sparkling eyes. Could they also have a temple for meritorious officials?
Of course, the emperors would not be stingy and it would be easy for them to build a temple for their meritorious officials. They knew very well who had made the greatest contributions.
Many emperors also took the initiative to propose building temples for meritorious officials.
This can also be considered as a way to appease those ministers.
Xu Da smiled, nodded, raised his glass and drank with the other two.
"In the second year of Hongwu, Senior Xu Da, you pacified Shaanxi.
In the third year of Hongwu, you, Senior Xu Da, were appointed as the general and defeated the Yuan general Kuyuk Timur in Dingxi.
The following year, Kuyuk Timur, who was defeated by you, Senior Xu Da, was unwilling to accept the defeat. He took advantage of the vast territory outside the Great Wall to recuperate and planned to make a comeback.
And you, Senior Xu Da, were also ordered to go to Peking to train soldiers to prevent the Yuan Dynasty from attacking again.
At that time, the survivors in the desert area were moved to Beijing to strengthen defense.
A Great Wall of more than thirty miles was built for defense.
Within a few months, Senior Xu Da, you were transferred to Shanxi to train troops.
Senior Xu Da, you have no time to rest, you are either fighting or training troops." He is indeed a capable general of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
"We have not completely eliminated the Yuan people, so how can we have time to rest?" Although the Yuan people have retreated to the northern desert, they still go south from time to time to do evil. They are truly hateful.
I didn't dare to rest or even sleep peacefully because I had to be on the lookout all the time for enemy attacks.
Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui also nodded in agreement. Of course, only when the enemy is completely destroyed can they feel at ease.
Many generals in front of the sky curtain thought the same as the emperor. The emperor thought even more, as he was in charge of all the big and small matters of the country.
It is extremely difficult to be a good emperor, and it is easy to become a tyrant.
"Senior Xu Da, you are right. We cannot rest assured until the Yuan people are completely wiped out.
Of course, the Yuan people were also not quiet. They were divided into several troops. They no longer listened to the Yuan emperor and wanted to be kings themselves.
They directly occupied Kaiyuan, Liaoyang and other places, waiting eagerly for the opportunity to move south.
In the fifth year of Hongwu, in order to further strike against the remnants of the Yuan army, you, Senior Xu Da, were once again appointed as the General of Conquering Prisoners and led another Northern Expedition.
This time it is a large-scale mobilization. Senior Xu Da, you will take the middle route, the left deputy general Li Wenzhong will take the east route, and the general Feng Sheng will take the west route. We will attack in three routes.
Each of them led 50,000 cavalrymen to cross the border.
It took almost two months to reach the Shanxi border, and all that time was spent on the road. The road was too difficult to walk on at that time, and even riding a horse wouldn't go very fast," Li Wu shook his head. It was okay to ride a horse for a while.
If he continued riding the horse, Li Wu couldn't even imagine what his thighs would be like after being rubbed.
If you are used to riding, it’s fine, but for beginners, many people can’t stick to it.
But the ancients could definitely persevere, as they mainly relied on horses for travel.
"It would be great if the little immortal could trade cars," Xue Rengui sighed, knowing that the little immortal could not trade cars or anything like that.
Even if they made a deal, what would this car eat? They had nothing to give it. Could it be that they had to trade with the immortal every time?
Forget it, but they can study the bicycle.
"This is not impossible to trade," Li Wu said. The three of them looked at her in unison. The person in front of the sky curtain was also happy. Can it really be traded?
They have been coveting the cars of the little immortal for a long time.
Some outrageous emperors have already fantasized that if people in their dynasty could trade, they would definitely trade airplanes.
Most emperors still wanted to trade immortal seeds, cement and other things that were beneficial to the people.
An emperor is a good emperor only if he can ensure that his people are well fed and clothed. Naturally, they also covet cars, but they know more clearly what they need.
There is only one transaction, and who knows when it will be your dynasty's turn. You are the most important thing in the transaction.
"Can the little immortal really trade?" Huo Qubing asked.
"It is possible, but I suggest you not to trade this. This car can only go on relatively smooth roads, and it needs gasoline, just like a horse eats grass. Gasoline is like grass, which is the food of the car. You don't have it. If the tires are worn out, you can't repair it. In short, it's useless," Li Wu explained.
Huo Qubing lowered his head and said, "Actually, I can guess it. It is indeed troublesome and of no use to us." He was just having fun.
The others also nodded. They would not trade this car. Although they coveted it, they were very rational.
Li Wu raised his eyebrows. That's good. If you want to trade, that's fine. But I also understand that few of our ancestors would trade these things.
"Let's continue talking about Senior Xu Da. We just mentioned that it took Senior Xu Da two months to reach the border of Shanxi.
He appointed Governor Lan Yu as the vanguard and set out northward from Yanmen Pass.
Lan Yu defeated Kuyuk Timur's troops, continued to advance northward and defeated them at Tuci River, and then defeated Kuyuk Timur's troops again.
Kuyuk Timur could only lead his men to retreat and merge into one team with other Yuan troops.
We are preparing to ambush you, Senior Xu Da, in Lingbei.
As expected, Senior Xu Da, you underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, leading your troops deep into the enemy's territory alone. We were ambushed by the allied forces of Kuyuk Timur and He Zongzhe, and more than ten thousand Ming soldiers were killed.
Senior Xu Da, you quickly retreated the front line and held the camp, thus avoiding a major defeat.
Otherwise I don’t know how to explain it.
Seeing that Senior Xu Da was defending so well, Kuyuk Timur did not dare to pursue rashly.
Afraid of some trap.
Senior Li Wenzhong also suffered heavy losses. Although he defeated the enemy, his own people were not in a much better situation.
They had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
Only Feng Sheng's team fought against the Xiliang army and won a great victory.
In the sixth year of Hongwu, Senior Xu Da, you led the generals to patrol the border and then led the generals to the north, won the victory and defeated the Northern Yuan army.
After the victory, you went straight back to Peking and trained your troops for three years before returning to Yingtian Prefecture.
Senior Xu Da, don't you have to go to court?" Li Wu asked curiously.
The others were all confused. What kind of ridiculous question was the little immortal asking?
"The little immortal said that I have been training troops in Peking for three years. Could it be that I will split myself into two to attend court?" When Xu Da said this, others couldn't help laughing.
Naturally, many military generals did not attend court and were basically not in Kyoto.
Of course, the military generals in Kyoto have to attend court. How can you attend court if you are not in Kyoto? Do you have to go back specially to attend court and come back?
Is the emperor crazy or are they crazy to do that?
