The Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties have been having a very difficult time recently. It can be said that there is chaos all over the place, and the terrible thing is that it is difficult for them to organize a large army to wipe out the Red Turban Army again. Recently, Han Shantong in Henan has proclaimed himself emperor, claiming to inherit the legacy of the former Song emperor, and is the Mongolian
The Yuan court couldn't bear it anymore.
The offensive of the Red Flag Army in the south is very fierce. There is no Mongolian Yuan power in southern Zhejiang. Although most of Jiangxi is still in the hands of the Mongolian Yuan, it will be a matter of time before the Red Flag Army captures it. And Xu Shouhui in Hubei is not letting people do it.
Don't worry, this means that Meng Yuan cannot organize resistance forces in Hubei, let alone support Jiangxi.
Emperor Dayuan was still hiding in his harem, drunk and dreaming, playing all kinds of ridiculous games with his concubines, all naked, when a Goryeo eunuch ran in in a panic.
"Bang!"
"Great joy! Great joy! The Emperor is overjoyed!"
Emperor Dayuan, who was about to get angry, heard the eunuch's shout and immediately suppressed it. He pushed away the concubine who was licking his chest, and then looked at the eunuch who was kneeling in front of him expressionlessly.
“Where does joy come from?”
Seeing the emperor about to become furious, how could this Goryeo eunuch not realize his recklessness? He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, the Emperor Yuan in front of him would behead him.
The Korean eunuch didn't even dare to wipe the cold sweat off his head, and then continued to say in his high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty! The Red Flag Army in the south suddenly lifted the blockade of the canal.
Now there are a large number of southern cargo ships coming to Dadu."
"What? How is this possible!" After hearing the explanation of the Goryeo eunuch, the Emperor Yuan couldn't help being surprised, "Quickly tell all my ministers in the Yuan Dynasty that I will go to court immediately."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was willful. He had not been to court for a long time. He would only go to the court for a walk when he had a whim. He spent more time in the harem accompanying his many concubines.
Regarding the emperor's sudden whim, the important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty also knew the news from the south, so they were not too surprised. Instead, they were a little shocked by the behavior of the Red Flag Army in the south.
Looking at the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty in front of him, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was very happy today. "My ministers, the Red Flag Army in the south suddenly lifted the blockade on the canal. Do you know the reason?"
"Your Majesty, is it possible that Han Shantong from Henan suddenly proclaimed himself emperor, and the Red Flag Army is also a little afraid of the Red Scarf Army?"
"Well?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, don't make random guesses.
I know the reason." The newly appointed Prime Minister Maha suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oh? Prime Minister, tell me quickly!" Emperor Dayuan looked at Prime Minister Maha in surprise.
"Your Majesty, Suning, the owner of the Red Flag Army, wants to be king, and is willing to rule across the Yangtze River with us, Dayuan, so that both parties can call each other a country of brothers."
"What? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, please be patient!
The special envoy of the Red Flag Army has arrived in Dadu, and it is just in time to invite him to the main hall for a detailed discussion."
As soon as Maha finished speaking, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty in the hall started talking among themselves, realizing that the envoy of the Red Flag Army must have come to Prime Minister Maha.
"Oh? Special envoy?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!
The envoy of the Red Flag Army is still an acquaintance of our Dayuan."
"Acquaintance? Who is it?"
"The former Zuo Prime Minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, Fu Shou!"
"Ah? What?
Is this idiot not dead yet?"
"Ahem! Your Majesty!
Now that Fushou is the special envoy of the Red Flag Army, I hope that Your Majesty can..."
"Okay! I know what the Prime Minister means." Emperor Dayuan quickly understood what Prime Minister Maha meant, and then said impatiently.
Now all the Mongolian and Yuan nobles regard Fushou as the instigator of the Red Flag Army. They believe that it was the connivance and appeasement of his left prime minister Fushou that led to the expansion of the Red Flag Army. Therefore, Fushou is the "scar" that all the Mongolian and Yuan nobles do not want to mention.
”.
After being summoned by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Fushou came to the main hall unimpeded, but at this time he was already the envoy of the Mongolian enemy, and his fate was really unpredictable.
"The guilty minister Fushou pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"Humph! Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to still be a vassal at this time?
After all, you are now the special envoy of the Red Flag Army, and are no longer the Zuo Prime Minister of our Dayuan." Looking at Fushou, who he hated, the Emperor of Dayuan couldn't help but ridicule.
"Cough..." Prime Minister Maha had to remind Emperor Yuan by coughing.
Hearing the reminder of Prime Minister Maha's cough, Emperor Yuan once again remembered that their Mongolian Yuan people were asking for help, and they were no longer the Yuan who dominated the world.
"Your Majesty, the criminal came to negotiate on behalf of the Red Flag Army this time, but he was forced to have no choice."
"Oh? What do the Red Flag Army want to talk about?"
"Your Majesty, Suning, the owner of the Red Flag Army, is planning to call himself Prince Ming recently, and he needs the recognition of my Yuan court!"
"Second, the Mongolian Yuan and Ming dynasties call each other brotherly states, and all exchanges are based on equality and mutual benefit."
"Third, the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and the Ming Dynasty ruled across the river and did not attack each other!
The Mongolian Yuan armed forces and officials in Jiangxi and Hubei must surrender to the Red Flag Army. As a sign of the Red Flag Army's sincerity, the Red Flag Army will no longer block the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Red Flag Army will voluntarily withdraw from Shandong.
However, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty could not station troops in Shandong and used Shandong as a buffer zone between the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty."
"What?" The ministers in the court and the Emperor Yuan opened their eyes in shock.
Although the requirements of the Red Flag Army are excessive, there is no real harm to them, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The defeat of Jiangxi and Hubei has been determined. It is only a matter of time that the Mongolian Yuan army there will be wiped out by the Red Flag Army, and the Red Flag Army also voluntarily gave up.
The fact that the Shandong area is easily accessible really shows that the Red Flag Army is very sincere.
"Ahem!" Although Prime Minister Maha had long known the requirements of the Red Flag Army and received heavy gifts from the Red Flag Army, as the prime minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, he had to hide his face from others, "Fushou, why not let the Red Flag Army
My boss, Suning, accepts my canonization as Emperor Dayuan, and then we will be a real family."
"Haha, Prime Minister, Your Majesty, Prince Ming only wishes to call each other brothers and sisters with Dayuan."
"this......"
At this time, everyone in the Meng Yuan court was really moved, but they were still unwilling to agree immediately. They then asked the guards to take Fushou away, and then a heated debate began in the Meng Yuan court.
"Your Majesty, the request of the Red Flag Army is of great benefit to us in Dayuan." Prime Minister Maha said his thoughts immediately, "Only in this way can we in Dayuan fully deal with the Red Turban Army in Henan.
And handing over Jiangxi and Hubei to the Red Flag Army will definitely turn the Red Flag Army against the Red Scarf Army in Hubei, Jiangxi and other places.
When the time comes, we can reap the benefits by watching them kill each other."
"I second the proposal!"
Prime Minister Maha was still very powerful in the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, after Tuo Tuo committed suicide in Xuzhou, Maha also cut off many of Tuo Tuo's forces. At this time, he could really be said to have a status below one person and above ten thousand people.
Moreover, Fu Shou could become the Zuo Prime Minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces and still had huge connections in the Yuan Dynasty. This is why Suning valued Fu Shou.
"Well! Since all the ministers and workers agree, let's sign a contract with the Red Flag Army!"
In this way, Suning of the Red Flag Army suddenly transformed and became the Ming King of the Ming Kingdom in southern China. He temporarily stabilized the counterattack of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the north and was able to fully manage the southern areas.
...
At this time, Zhu Chongba, who was joining forces with Mao Gui and others to attack Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, suddenly received an order to cease the war. Just when he and Chang Yuchun were confused, a white flag was hung on the top of Nanchang City.
Zhu Chongba and Mao Gui looked at each other in surprise, seeing the shock in their eyes, and then saw the Nanchang defenders opening the city gate and surrendering to their Red Flag Army.
"Ah? What's going on?"
"Haha, our boss has called himself King Ming. The Meng Yuan court not only recognized it, but also asked the Meng Yuan garrison in Jiangxi and Hubei to surrender to us. From now on, we can concentrate on running the south and temporarily stabilize the Meng Yuan in the north." Supervisor Army
Xie Jinzhong explained with a smile.
"Ah? This is great!" Zhu Chongba couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, "In this way, as long as we eliminate Xu Shouhui and Fang Guozhen in eastern Zhejiang, Jiangnan will be the world of our Red Flag Army."
"Yes!"
Next, the armies of Zhu Chongba and Mao Gui quickly took over the Mongolian forces in Jiangxi and Hubei, and immediately took control of the entire Jiangxi and Hubei. At this time, Xu Shouhui, who was still fighting in a small way, was in trouble.
"Prime Minister, is there really no hope for me?"
Tianwan Prime Minister Zou Pusheng also looked at a loss, because he had no confidence in facing the Red Flag Army, "Your Majesty, our Tianwan is really at the end of its rope."
At this time, the Tianwan regime was huddled in Xishui, a weakling that had not developed at all. Originally, they were unable to resist the counterattack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies. Now that the Mongolian and Yuan armies have surrendered to the Red Flag Army, their Tianwan regime is really
There is no way out.
"Prime Minister, let us surrender!"
"Well! I hope Prince Ming can give us a way out."
Suning was also pleasantly surprised by the peaceful occupation of the entire Jiangxi and Hubei. As long as his Red Flag Army digested the entire Jiangnan, he would have the strength for the Northern Expedition.
Looking at Xu Da and Chang Yuchun who looked unhappy, Suning quickly explained with a smile, "You look unhappy, don't you?
Are you unwilling to withdraw from the Shandong region?"
"King Ming, the Shandong area is already within easy reach of our Red Flag Army. Why was it so easily handed over to Meng Yuan?"
"Old Chang, Meng Yuan is still very powerful now. They still have a lot of military power in the northwest and northern grasslands. We can't push them too hastily.
As long as we can safely navigate the south of the Yangtze River, we will soon have the strength for the Northern Expedition." Looking at Chang Yuchun and Xu Da who looked reluctant to give up, Suning had to explain sincerely.
"Also, Lao Chang, we have been fully prepared to fight against the Yuan Dynasty for less than a year. The expansion of the Red Flag Army is too rapid, and we have to stop and develop with peace of mind."
"King Ming, I finally understand."
"King Ming, there is still something unclear about the last general.
Why did the contract signed by our Red Flag Army and Meng Yuan not mention Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Fujian and other places?" At this time, Xu Da also asked his doubts.
"Haha, Xu Da, you don't understand this.
There are some things that can be done, but absolutely cannot be said.
You must know that Jiangxi and Hubei are almost destroyed. There are Red Scarf Army and our Red Flag Army everywhere, and Meng Yuan has to give up.
However, places such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Fujian are still firmly in the hands of Meng Yuan.
If we mentioned these places from the beginning, they would definitely not agree to our request.
When we take control of these existing territories, we can lead a large army to march into Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Fujian and other places. At that time, as long as we come up with the North-South partition contract, they will have to surrender to our Red Flag Army."
"Eh? King Ming Yingming!"
"Well! This is a good time for you to get close to your family.
I have made you fight all over the country for almost a year, and I feel a little embarrassed every time I see the resentful looks in your family members' eyes."
"Hmph! How dare these yellow-faced women show off to Prince Ming and see if I don't deal with them when I get back." Chang Yuchun suddenly looked angry.
"Yes! These women are going too far!" Even Xu Da became angry with his mother-in-law.
"Haha, your wife has been learning makeup and dressing up with the princess. I'm worried that after you go back, you won't be willing to beat your own wife."
"..."
After hearing Suning's explanation, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun also started to look forward to it. You must know that with the strong rise of the Red Flag Army, Liu's fame has spread throughout China and she is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world.
They all sincerely recognized Princess Liu's makeup skills, and their wives were already rare beauties. If they had superb makeup skills, they would definitely regain their peak appearance again.
...
At this time, Fushou, who had successfully completed the mission of the Red Flag Army, did not leave Dadu of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty immediately. Instead, he prepared to stay in Dadu for a long time and slowly use gold, silver and jewelry to corrode the will of the Mongolian Yuan nobles.
Emperor Yuan Shun is the posthumous title of the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, so the current Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is not dead yet, so we cannot call him Emperor Yuan Shun.
Emperor Bo'er of the Great Yuan Dynasty summoned Fu Shou, the envoy of the Red Flag Army, and then looked at Fu Shou with a vulgar expression, "Fu Shou, I heard that the Princess Liu of Ming Dynasty is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Uh? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"Haha, Fushou, you don't need to be too nervous. I'm just curious."
"Your Majesty, you must not have such evil thoughts!" Fushou saw the lustful look on Emperor Yuan's face, how could he not understand his thoughts.
"What? I am the lord of the world, there is no woman I cannot get!"
"Your Majesty, although I have heard that Princess Ming is the most beautiful woman in the world, I have never seen her before.
But I know that King Ming has always respected the princess, and if he knows that His Majesty has any evil thoughts, he will definitely tear up the contract and then attack me, Dayuan, with all his troops."
"Hmph!
I agreed to sign a contract with the Red Flag Army. Fushou, you don’t think I’m afraid of the Red Flag Army, do you?
This is just a temporary measure on my part.
When Han Shantong and Liu Futong in Henan are eliminated, I will personally conquer the Red Flag Army."
"Your Majesty, the current strength of the Red Flag Army is no less than one million, and the navy is more than ten times stronger than the original Wuhu Navy.
If King Ming mobilizes millions of troops to attack from Henan, Shandong and other places, and the navy lands from Tianjin, we, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, will definitely be unable to resist."
"What? This is impossible!
How could the Red Flag Army have such huge strength?" Emperor Yuan also opened his eyes in shock.
"Your Majesty, according to rumors, Ming Wang Suning has been rich for many generations and owns countless properties. He has prepared for rebellion early on, so it cannot be treated as common sense."
"Huh? Do I, Dayuan, just tolerate the division of the north and the south?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that this is the only way to go now!
In fact, the guilty minister was not willing to become a thief at that time.
After being captured by the Red Flag Army, he also thought about killing himself, but the Red Flag Army threatened the criminal's family, so the criminal had to obey the traitor." Fu Shou was a natural actor, and he immediately started to narrate with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, just now
The expedient measures you mentioned are very much in favor of the guilty minister.
As long as we eliminate the Red Scarf Army in Henan, we can slowly encroach on the Red Flag Army.
But we must not be eager for quick success. If we anger Prince Ming Suning, we will lose more than the gain."
"My dear! You have suffered!" Emperor Dayuan was also a little moved when he saw that he was thinking about the happiness and longevity of Dayuan and himself.
"Your Majesty, no matter where the guilty minister ends up, his heart will always be towards me, Dayuan."
