"Whoosh!"
Outside the gates of the capital city during the Jingtai period.
The Esen-led Oirat army had gathered. Esen, holding a long knife, shouted, "Yu Qian, quickly open the city gates and let our army in! Otherwise, if I break through the gates, I'll kill you first!"
"Let's see if you can break through first," Yu Qian snorted from the city tower.
"Your emperor is now in my hands. If you're smart, surrender quickly or hand over gold, silver, and grain. I might consider delaying the attack for a few days," Esen said again. "A million in gold and silver can buy you one day. Otherwise, once I give the order, my army will storm the city, and I'll make sure you die a horrible death. And as for your emperor..."
"Emperor? What emperor?" Yu Qian showed a faint smile and looked at Esen.
"Of course, it's Zhu Qizhen, your little emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He's still in my hands. If you don't want him to die..."
"Oops, I forgot to tell you. Prince Cheng has ascended the throne as the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. So, the one in your hands is no longer our Ming emperor," Yu Qian said.
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Esen was completely stunned. "Zhu Qizhen isn't dead yet. How can you just install a new emperor? Isn't this..."
"Cut the crap, Esen. If you're smart, release the Supreme Emperor. Otherwise, I guarantee that our Ming cavalry will trample your small Oirat tribe in the future," Yu Qian said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's me attacking you now!" Esen was extremely angry. He thought that by holding Zhu Qizhen hostage, he could force the Ming Dynasty to hand over money and food. But he didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to act unexpectedly and simply abandon Zhu Qizhen and install a new emperor.
In this way, Zhu Qizhen, who was no longer the emperor, was no longer such an important bargaining chip.
"Come on! Prepare to storm the city!"
The angrier he got, the louder he roared.
"How dare you invade our Ming Dynasty, Esen. Wasn't the beating we gave your Oirat tribe hard enough when I led the northern expedition back then?"
Just then, an angry roar echoed through the void within a hundred - mile radius.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar resounded, and a huge dragon rushed out of the clouds.
"What's that?"
"A dragon! It's a real dragon!"
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
Dragons had always only existed in legends. Who could have thought that they would actually see one today?
And what did that voice just mean?
Just when everyone was extremely puzzled, the huge real dragon turned into a dazzling golden light and finally transformed into a human figure.
It was Zhu Di.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, floating in the air as if a true god had descended to the mortal world.
"This brat really showed off this time," Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily from above the clouds where Qin Ning and others were standing.
The real dragon just now was, of course, created by Qin Ning.
"Great... the Yongle Emperor!"
"It's the Yongle Emperor!"
"The Yongle Emperor has returned! It's really the Yongle Emperor who has returned!"
On the city tower of the capital, countless soldiers exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.
"The Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di?"
In contrast to the Ming side, the Oirat army led by Esen was completely terrified.
The appearance of the real dragon and the return of Zhu Di, who seemed to descend from the sky like a god, brought not only a visual shock but also an unprecedented impact on their hearts!
At the same time, Zhu Di gently touched the bracelet on his wrist and immediately transformed into Iron Man.
"Whoosh!"
A small missile was launched and landed directly among the Oirat army.
The loud explosion instantly woke everyone up from their daze.
However, Zhu Di had already started a massacre. He gathered energy in his palm and released energy cannons, which were like the punishment from heaven, continuously falling among the Oirat army.
In just a short moment, cries of pain filled the air.
The Oirat army instantly lost their morale and were in disarray. Esen immediately ordered a retreat.
"Want to run?"
Just then, a cold snort came from high above.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army of 50,000 soldiers and descended from the sky.
"That is..."
"Is it the Ming army?"
At the city tower, all the soldiers were shocked by this scene again.
The heavenly troops have arrived!
"Hongwu? It seems they're flying the Hongwu - era flags," someone noticed.
"Hongwu..."
Hearing this, Yu Qian and the other ministers on the city tower all showed expressions of disbelief.
The Yongle Emperor has returned.
Then, what about the Hongwu Emperor...
Could he also come back?
"The... the Hongwu Emperor! It's really the Hongwu Emperor!"
Next to Yu Qian, Hu Ying, the Minister of Rites, recognized the figure at the front of the 50,000 heavenly troops.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang wearing a dragon robe.
"Lord Hu, is that really the Hongwu Emperor? You're not mistaken, are you?" someone couldn't help asking.
"It's the Hongwu Emperor! I'm not mistaken!"
Hu Ying said seriously, "I was a Jinshi during the Hongwu era and was personally summoned by the Hongwu Emperor. How could I be mistaken?"
At the same time, the heavenly troops landed and blocked the retreat route of the Oirat army.
"Retreat to the left!" Esen was also terrified at this moment but quickly gave an order.
"Whir!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a large number of heavenly troops appeared in the sky again, blocking their way to retreat to the left.
"Zhenguan? What kind of flag is that?"
"No, why is that person also wearing a dragon robe? Does our Ming Dynasty have the Zhenguan era name?"
On the city tower, people were discussing. Hu Ying trembled and said, "That dragon robe... seems to be of the Tang - style... Zhenguan... Could it be the Tang Taizong?"
The Tang Taizong, Li Shimin!
As soon as these words were said, everyone realized.
Who in later generations didn't know the Zhenguan era name?
The Tang Taizong, Li Shimin!
He was a figure comparable to Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han!
"Retreat to the right! Retreat to the right quickly!" Esen shouted and changed the direction again.
In the high sky, a divine voice echoed again, "How dare you invade our Central Plains of China. Today, I won't spare you!"
I?
This self - address left everyone confused.
It wasn't until the heavenly troops descended from the sky again and they saw that they were flying the 'Great Qin' flags that everyone, both from the Oirat and the Ming sides, was stunned.
"Great Qin... Is it the Great Qin I know?"
"That person... Could that person be the First Emperor, Ying Zheng?"
On the city tower, everyone was extremely excited. Hu Ying, the Minister of Rites, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "In this moment of crisis for our Ming Dynasty, not only have the Hongwu Emperor and the Yongle Emperor returned, but even the First Emperor, who carried forward the achievements of six generations, has appeared. Our Ming... Our Ming Dynasty is not doomed!"
"Welcome the Hongwu Emperor and the Yongle Emperor. Welcome his Majesty, the First Emperor!"
Everyone knelt down and shouted.
This immediately made Li Shimin so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. He roared, "Damn it, Zhu. I shouldn't have come!"
