At this moment, Kaifeng City is devastated, and it seems that it has just experienced a war.
Soldiers were everywhere carrying the bodies, and the wails of the wounded could still be heard all around.
On the city tower, Zhu Di looked at the collapsed Han banner with a serious expression.
They won this battle.
This Kaifeng Mansion returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty again half a year after it separated from the Ming Empire.
The enemy has now retreated to Taiyuan Prefecture.
This also means that the crisis in Yingtian Mansion has been resolved.
Yingtianfu, Nanjing.
Shuntianfu, Beijing.
It's just that the Shuntian Mansion at this moment is still in the hands of the Han Dynasty. If Zhu Di wants to regain Shuntian again, he will have to go through several battles.
"Your Majesty, what good news!"
At this time, Wu Sangui hurried over, his face full of joy.
Wu Sangui, who is forty years old, is now in his prime. He is wearing a dark red armor and looks heroic.
"oh?"
Seeing Wu Sangui coming to announce the good news, Zhu Di's heavy brows finally relaxed a little.
His Ming Dynasty needs a steady stream of good news to regain its vitality.
"Your Majesty."
Wu Sangui knelt down on one knee and reported: "There is news from Fujian that the land of Fujian has been stabilized."
"Moreover, the Tianlong Army of the Apocalypse Empire has recovered Xiaoliuqiu."
"Liu Xiu killed himself!"
For the Ming Empire, this was earth-shattering good news.
This news was originally going to be delivered by Jin Yiwei. But when Wu Sangui met the Jin Yiwei who was delivering the message, he couldn't wait to report it to Zhu Di in person.
The rebels in the south have been eliminated, and most of the crisis in the Ming Dynasty has been resolved!
"Hahaha! Good!"
After receiving this exciting news, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing happily at this moment.
Liu Xiu's death means that his rear has been stabilized.
He can free his hands and deal with the Han Empire in the north wholeheartedly!
In this battle, he not only wants to drive the Han enemies out of the country, but also wants to take revenge!
The feud between the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will never end!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Wu Sangui congratulated him at the right time.
Not only was he a famous general, he was also extremely proficient in the ways of the people in the court.
So when Zhu Di went on a personal expedition, Wu Sangui became a close confidant and celebrity around Zhu Di!
"in this way!"
After Zhu Di stopped laughing, he ordered again: "Send an order to the Lord of the Apocalypse Empire and ask him to send troops to conspire with the Han Kingdom!"
Now that the two countries are allies.
So, pooling the strength of the two countries to conquer the Han Empire would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In fact, the main reason is that the Ming Dynasty does not have that many soldiers to fight.
After experiencing the war in the north and the rebellion in the south, the elites of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Just in the battle to capture Kaifeng City just now, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed.
In addition, the country still needs stability, so Zhu Di naturally cannot send too many troops.
Although they are allies with the Apocalypse Empire.
But from beginning to end, he and Zhu Di were always wary of the Apocalypse Empire.
Only through joint operations could he feel the strength of the Apocalypse Empire more intuitively.
"As you command!"
Wu Sangui took the order.
Now that he's here, let's take the place of the attendant and deliver an order.
"His Majesty."
At this time, after seeing Wu Sangui leaving, a figure came forward.
It's Xie Jin.
He also heard the good news reported by Wu Sangui just now. For this reason, he was full of worries.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to allow the army of the Apocalypse Empire to withdraw from the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Especially Xiaoliuqiu, that is my Ming Dynasty's land!"
This is different from what military commanders like Wu Sangui think.
Ever since Jie Jin heard the news that Liu Xiu had committed suicide, what he had been thinking about was Xiao Liuqiu.
Although the Han Kingdom in the north is hateful, the Apocalypse Empire in the south is definitely not a good person either.
Just talking about the fact that the Apocalypse Empire still refused to let Zheng He return even after the two countries had formed an alliance, he Jie Jin believed that the Apocalypse Empire was a wolf's ambition.
"Jin gentry need not worry."
Zhu Di nodded in agreement. He said: "Since we are allies, the Apocalypse Empire will naturally not invade my Ming Dynasty's land."
"If they want to break the covenant."
"Then the whole world will soon know that the Apocalypse Empire is a country without faith and righteousness!"
On this continent, eight great empires stand.
Even though the national war has been going on for more than a year now, the strategies of various countries are nothing more than making friends at a distance and attacking at a close distance, and uniting horizontally and vertically.
If everyone in the world believes that the Apocalypse Empire is unfaithful, then no country will ally with it in the future.
They will even join forces to attack!
Moreover, Zhu Di's envoy is already on his way to the Tang Empire.
If he can form an alliance with the Tang Empire again, then Zhu Di will no longer worry about whether the Apocalypse Empire behind him will stab him.
"As it should be."
Xie Jin somewhat agreed.
But at this moment, he was still worried in his heart.
"Then why haven't they withdraw their troops yet?"
This is what he wants to think about.
Once Xiaoliuqiu falls into the hands of the Apocalypse Empire, then our own Ming Dynasty will be completely exposed to the opponent's military front.
"They can't possibly invade my Ming Dynasty's territory!"
Zhu Di made a promise.
Whether it is the land of Fujian or Xiaoliuqiu, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty and no one is allowed to invade it.
If the Apocalypse Empire really refuses to leave, then Zhu Di wouldn't mind tearing up the alliance with his own hands!
Anyway, no matter what we do, the Ming Empire has the moral upper hand.
so.
Unlike the worried Xie Jin, as the emperor, Zhu Di was naturally much calmer.
But at this moment, another Jin Yiwei came to report.
"Your Majesty, this is news from the sea."
Jin Yiwei presented the letter paper respectfully.
"Oh? Zheng Zhilong?"
After seeing the content of the letter, Zhu Di suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Let yourself send troops to Xiaoliuqiu?
He smiled, shook his head, and then ignored it.
Xiaoliuqiu was originally his own, so why did he send troops to recover it in vain?
Now that the Apocalypse Empire has not shown its attitude and said that it will not withdraw or return its troops, it is too early to send troops now!
If that moment really comes, then let’s talk about it at that moment.
The current focus of the Ming Dynasty is still the Han Empire in the north. Rationally speaking, Zhu Di will not rashly make enemies for himself anymore.
It's one thing for the other party to invade, but it's another thing to actively attack.
"This dirty pirate!"
Xie Jin took the letter and looked at it carefully and immediately looked angry.
What qualifications do mere pirates have to negotiate terms with the Ming Dynasty?
In his mind, pirates are also thieves.
"Okay, Jin Shen doesn't need to be angry."
Zhu Di was much calmer.
He just threw away the letter and completely rejected Zheng Zhilong's proposal without saying anything.
Everything, that's because the time has not come yet.
"Send my order."
Then, he issued another order.
"Recuperate quickly and set out for Taiyuan Prefecture in three days!"
Since he won this battle, he would drive the enemy out of the country in one go.
At that time, if the Apocalypse Empire really invades Xiaoliuqiu and refuses to return it.
It's not too late for Zhu Di to turn around and come back!
