"Haha."
"Yun Qi, read it out for us." With a smile, Zhu Yuanzhang handed the urgent report in his hand to Yun Qi at his side.
"This servant obeys the decree."
Yun Qi replied respectfully.
He then held the urgent report and walked to the steps before reading aloud, "Great victory in Liaodong. Your subject Feng Sheng reports to His Majesty!"
"Your subject led the Northern Expedition army in attacking Liaodong, acting upon the imperial command to reclaim Liaodong and recover the territory of our Huaxia."
"Northern Yuan Grand Commandant Naha Chu used Jincheng and Kaiyuan City as barriers. After years of fortification, he had turned the two cities into Liaodong's bastions and stationed heavy troops there."
"Your subject led the army in fiercely assaulting the two cities for over half a month, yet failed to breach them, thus failing Your Majesty's grace."
"Now."
"During the battle of Jincheng, Zhu Ying, a Qianshi and cavalry commander of the Daning Border Army's Cavalry Battalion, was recommended by the generals and assigned by General Fu Youde to lead his cavalry in attacking Jincheng."
"Our army used cannons as support, while General Zhu personally led his troops in a night raid on Jincheng. Fighting at the forefront, General Zhu displayed divine valor and smashed through the city gates, leading his troops into the city. Only then did the Great Ming Army pour into Jincheng. After a fierce battle lasting a day and a night, General Zhu slew Saritawen, a general under Northern Yuan's Naha Chu, and slew Man Jier, Naha Chu's foremost general."
"He successfully secured victory at Jincheng, taking the first step toward Great Ming's recovery of Huaxia's lost lands."
"In the future, your subject shall surely lead Great Ming's elite troops to crush Naha Chu, reclaim Liaodong, and restore Han rule."
