Chapter 393 The War Begins, the First Battle of the First Army Town!

The army has been launched under the leadership of generals at all levels.

After Zhu Di briefly said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, he gave up the space to Zhu Biao.

Quickly walked down the altar and came to Xu Miaoyun's mother and son.

"Abba!"

As soon as Zhu Di approached, Xiao Qihua screamed with reluctance.

Zhu Di smiled, put the little girl aside, picked up Yong Ming, who was "pretending to be" reserved, and warned: "This year, my father is not here, you are not allowed to cause trouble, and you must protect my mother."

"Dad, don't you need to protect Jindouzi?" Yong Ming suddenly asked out of curiosity.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were both amused.

Zhu Di looked at the infant Jindouzi, who was wrapped tightly with only two small eyes exposed. He looked at Yong Ming and smiled: "Protect."

I talked to the two little guys for a while.

Zhu Di put down the two little guys and asked them to play nearby.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya, who were watching the excitement in the distance. "If anything happens in the house during my absence, let them do it..."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared, and warned: "My children and I are waiting for you at home. We must protect ourselves on the battlefield..."

Shiro's ability to lead troops.

She never doubted it.

But today, my father held up the hands of Shirou and his eldest brother and held them together. What signal is sent to Shiro and Big Brother, as well as to the outside world.

She could see clearly.

She was very worried that Shiro went to the battlefield and fought desperately for his father's expectations.

Zhu Di looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He reached out and pinched Xu Miaoyun's cheek quickly with his thumb and index finger. "I know that for you and the children, I will consider it carefully when I do things."

How many people has he offended over the years?

have no idea!

In short, it must be quite a lot.

If something happens to him, some discerning people might let go of their hatred for him.

But some people definitely won't.

He will take revenge on Miaoyun and the children.

Yong Ming is still too young to bear this burden.

At that time, Miaoyun and the children will live a very dangerous life.

Before Yongming grew up, he was the backbone of the family.

"It feels so numb, I have goosebumps all over my body!"

Not far away, Naren Tuoya crossed her arms in an exaggerated manner, trembling, turned her head and muttered: "Miss, did you see it? Zhu Ruruo pinched Miss Xu's face in public..."

Wu Yunqige glared at Narentuoya in a funny and angry manner, "Be careful of needle eyes!"

hey-hey……

Narentuoya sneered, glanced in the direction of Zhu Di, and whispered: "Miss, Zhu Ruruo will probably kill a lot of people during his northern expedition. Look at his iron-blooded skills during his time as a supervisor of the school inspection. Killing They themselves are ruthless, let alone us prairie people..."

"You are now his adopted sister and Jin Douzi's aunt. Please tell him to stop committing murders..."

Wu Yunqige saw Narentoya's face full of sadness, and reached out to rub the little girl's head.

Narentuoya is so cool, but she is actually very kind-hearted.

"Zhu Ruruo is not a murderous person. He always weighs the pros and cons when doing things. Those who deserve to be killed, let alone me, even if Miss Miaoyun opens her mouth, I am afraid she can't stop him. He doesn't think he needs to be killed. We won't say, He won’t kill either.”

…

Why does Zhu Ruruo give people a cold-blooded and indifferent feeling?

It’s this man’s calm and rational way of weighing the pros and cons.

A person who can execute the plan meticulously after weighing the pros and cons will give people the impression that he is as cold-blooded, indifferent and ruthless as Zhu Rurude.

Why are so many people afraid of Zhu Ruruo going crazy?

This kind of person is extremely rational and calm, and makes decisions after weighing the pros and cons.

Once you go crazy, you will definitely be out of control!

Just like the two poles of yin and yang in the Central Plains culture.

Everyone and everything has two sides.

The extreme side must correspond to the extreme other side.

On weekdays, Zhu Ruruo's extreme calmness and rationality are shown on the outside, his bright side.

But it corresponds to this.

Zhu Ruo's other side is also extremely crazy.

Whoever brings out Zhu Ruo's other side will wait until mountains of corpses and rivers of blood flow.

"Miss, you know Zhu Ruru very well, right?" Narentoya whispered, winking.

Wu Yunqi clenched her fists angrily.

She pretends to be pitiful, disgusting and rude. You have to understand this person, right?

What's more, she was captured by Zhu Rurude and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

How could one not observe a person who has captured oneself.

…

"Fourth!"

When Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were talking, Zhu Biao suddenly shouted.

Only then did Zhu Di notice that the second brother, third brother and other brothers who were marching together in the northern expedition had followed his eldest brother and gathered in front of his father and mother.

All the ministers also watched.

"I'm going over." Zhu Di said and strode over.

In the eyes of everyone.

Zhu Biao led his brothers and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying. More than a dozen brothers kowtowed heavily to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying and then stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying warned Zhu Di and others again.

The brothers got on their horses.

Zhu Biao raised his sword high and said, "Let's go!"

When the voice sounded, he was the first to gallop his horse and whip his whip.

Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu and others followed Zhu Biao and galloped away around the altar under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes.

…

Everyone looked out.

It wasn't until Zhu Di and others could no longer be seen from behind that they looked back.

One after another they got on the carriage.

Hundreds of officials rode in a carriage and gathered together, whispering and discussing excitedly.

"This battle has gathered the most elite troops and the best generals in the imperial court. We will definitely win!"

"With this victory, conquering the Royal Court of Beiyuan and reaching the fishing sea, the Crown Prince's prestige will completely surpass Zhu Silang!"

"The more stable the crown prince's position is, the more secure it will be when I wait for Zhongliang to persuade the crown prince to cut off Zhu Silang in the future!"

…

Inside Wang Meiren's carriage.

Zhu Yuxiu, the eldest daughter of Zhu Biao, climbed on the car window, smiling and waving to Xiao Qihua, who also climbed on the window of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying's car.

Qihua was taken to the East Palace for a short stay by the Chang family several times and met Zhu Yuxiu.

After a moment, Zhu Yuxiu retracted her body and asked puzzledly: "Mother, why do so many people like Qihua? Mother and concubine like this? So do the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother? And so do the second and third uncles. They all like her very much. Qihua?”

'Many people like Zhu Qihua, but also, because her father is Zhu Silang, many people also hate their brother and sister. ’

Wang Meiren ventriloquised.

You must not say these words to your own children.

He smiled and said, "Because your fourth uncle is so powerful and shines so brightly, your grandfather and grandmother's love for your fourth uncle has been transferred to your cousins."

…

"Zhu Qihua is so annoying!"

In the carriage in front, Zhu Yunwen watched Qihua crawling into the carriage, sometimes sticking his head out of the window, and sometimes raising the curtain in front of her. The eunuch in charge of driving the carriage smiled flatteringly and teased her, then lowered the curtain angrily.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Lu, "Mom, all the glory in this Northern Expedition belongs to my father, right? No matter how powerful my fourth uncle is, he can only make wedding clothes for his father, right?"

Madam Lu frowned slightly, "Who said these words to you?"

It is impossible for Yunwen to think of these words at such a young age.

When Zhu Yunwen saw Lu's expression of anger, he slowly lowered his head and whispered, "Grandpa told Yunwen."

Lu's frown deepened.

Ever since he knew that his father, together with Hu Weiyong, wanted to push Yun Wen to touch that fatal spot.

Not a day goes by without her being frightened!

Unexpectedly, my father would say such things to Yunwen in private!

But she didn't know how to stop it.

Are you going to expose the Lu family to your father and the crown prince?

She can't do it.

Moreover, once the incident occurs, Yunwen will inevitably be implicated.

"What your grandpa said to you, never say it in front of your father! Don't say it to outsiders either!"

Even if Zhu Silang was just making wedding clothes for the prince, he shouldn't have said these words.

Not to mention Yun Wen, a later-generation nephew, could not tell it.

Zhu Yunwen nodded cautiously.

…

Two hundred thousand troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians set out north.

From the moment you set off.

All the eyes of the world followed him as he moved northward.

"I don't know if King Yan can fight again this time. He led a thousand elites to triumphantly across the grassland in a wonderful battle."

"The largest army in the army, the most powerful soldier in the world, this time, we will definitely be able to achieve better and greater results!"

…

People all over the world are talking about it and talking about what a wonderful battle Zhu Di will lead the army to fight in the first town.

When the gentry, merchants, and officials of the Ming Dynasty heard the people's discussions, they would always sneer and secretly say "Fool the people!"

All of them understand.

This battle is a battle for the prince to establish his prestige.

"Zhu Silang, I just accompany the prince to study and make wedding clothes for the prince! In this battle, Zhu Silang, don't try to stand out!"

…

There was a lot of disturbance.

Marching for more than a month.

The first army town entered Shandong.

Several Sai kings and vassal kings and guards, including Zhu Cang and Zhu Yu, all stayed in Beiping, so they stayed with Zhu Di and marched with the army to the first town.

Zhu Fang watched as he entered Shandong.

As the temperature dropped, the soldiers of the first town put on cotton-padded uniforms, carried muskets and square marching backpacks, and marched silently along the official road, with a flash of envy in their eyes.

The Army's First Town was not the army at the forefront.

But after setting off from Jinling, Army No. 1 Town maintained a leisurely pace all the way, and I didn’t feel anything at first.

Ten days later, things were different.

The imperial troops walking in front began to slow down one after another.

As for the Army's First Town, they still maintained a march of eighty miles every day.

Every day, one or two friendly forces must be surpassed.

Now, the Army's No. 1 Town, which was originally at the back, has been deployed closely behind the Prince's Guards and the three new imperial troops.

That’s all.

Along the way, they marched with the Army's First Town.

I really got to see the elite of the new army.

The new army is not only new in weapons and training.

It’s new in every aspect!

After setting up camp every day, the army's doctors, veterinarians, and technical generals who repaired artillery and muskets began to take action.

The doctor led the team and inspected the soldiers of each battalion.

If a soldier feels any discomfort, he must report it to the doctor as soon as possible.

As a result, on the way north, all armies suffered more or less falling behind due to acclimatization.

Even the first few new armies of the imperial court are inevitable.

As for Laosi's Army No. 1 Town, no one has been left behind so far.

Artillery carriages and army baggage vehicles are carefully inspected by technical generals every day. Any problems will be found immediately.

…

All the details are organized and refreshing.

Zhu Xi was still observing.

Zhu 㭎 came back to his senses, "Fourth, after the Northern Expedition, you can't just send me a few people and send me away. You must set up a guidance group, at least led by Biaotong level, from Biaotong, Guandai, Team officers, platoon leaders, field officers, and even doctors, craftsmen, and veterinarians must be equipped with a complete guidance team, and let this guidance team go to my feudal lord's guard, one by one, to help and guide! "

Zhu Rui's words woke up the brothers who were observing.

Several people turned their heads.

"Fourth brother, what third brother wants, is what we want."

"Fourth brother, you can't be partial!"

…

Zhu Di smiled angrily and glared at the old thirteen people, "Since I am going to send out a guidance group, I will definitely match you with a complete guidance group. However, we have agreed in advance that there will be a maximum of four such guidance groups, and you only have You can take turns, but I won’t be involved in how you allocate them.”

"Of course, according to the age of the brothers, the older ones come first and then the younger ones!"

"Second brother, you are so shameless. Shouldn't the elder brother let this younger brother do it?"

"Old Thirteen, you and Fourth Brother are not only brothers, but also brothers-in-law. Don't rob us. Ask Miss Miaoyin to beg Fourth Sister-in-law. Fourth Brother loves Fourth Sister-in-law the most. As long as Fourth Sister-in-law opens her mouth, Fourth Brother will definitely agree! "

"Fourth brother, right?"

…

Ha ha……

The brothers were laughing and playing, and burst into laughter.

Ta-ta-ta...

The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came. When everyone heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, they stopped one after another and looked in front of the sound...

A scout came galloping on horseback.

After approaching, he got off his horse and ran to Zhu Di. He stood at attention, beat his chest and saluted, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Biaotong asked me to report to you. The head of Liujia Village ahead, along with all the villagers, is greeting Your Majesty."

…

"Liujiacun?"

"Is it the village where the monument was erected for Fourth Brother and Tuqiao Village?"

"Lao Ba, your second brother and I are lucky enough to fill in the soil for the monument!"

…

While the scout was still reporting, a group of princes began to inquire out of curiosity.

They all know the connection between Zhu Di and Liujiacun.

At that time, their fourth brother had not long been demoted to a commoner by his father, and was in the period of being jealous, monitored, and tormented by his father.

"I see."

After the scout's report was over, Zhu Di ordered: "Go back and tell Zhou Lang that we will rush to the front army immediately."

After the scout took the order and left, Zhu Di turned around and said, "Second brother, third brother, Liu Zuchang, the patriarch of Liujia Village, and the villagers are waiting. Do you want to go together?"

"Go, of course!" Zhu Xi said with a hearty smile.

Immediately, several brothers, escorted by dozens of soldiers, rode towards the front army.

An hour later.

Zhu Di is close to Liujiacun.

From a distance, I saw villagers standing at the entrance of Liujia Village and beside the official road.

After Zhu Di approached.

Liu Zuchang led the villagers around, "Liu Zuchang, a common man, pays homage to King Yan and all the princes."

Zhu Di got off his horse and helped Liu Zuchang up, "Chief Liu, there is no need to be polite."

Liu Zuchang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, everyone in Liujia Village heard that Your Majesty led the soldiers of the Army's First Town to go north, so we specially prepared some thin wine to invite Your Majesty and other princes..."

Zhu Di hurriedly raised his hand and declined: "Old sir, we have to hurry and we can't waste time..."

Liu Zuchang secretly observed Zhu Di, who was wearing an army split military uniform.

‘This man’s movements are full of aura and magnanimity! ’

Liu Zuchang sighed secretly.

At first, he never expected that Liujiacun would have such a connection with King Yan.

Later, when King Yan accompanied his grandson north to Liaodong.

He only learned about it from the letters of his youngest son who was a close minister of the emperor in Menxia Province.

Zhu Silang of Tuqiao Village was Zhu Di, King of Yan.

Later, the prince lurked out of the abyss and was out of control.

Get the first prize.

Head to Fujian.

Within a few years, Fujian's taxes have increased every year.

During this period, it was also reported that this man had established a piece of land of his own in Dongfan.

…

Years ago, the youngest son wrote back and told in detail that the prince returned to the court, and that two hundred naval warships and fifteen hundred artillery guns fired on the Qinhuai River.

And the news about the army's number one town and the most powerful soldier in the world.

The younger son also asked people to bring back some strange spices and dried fruits.

It is said that they were all sold by maritime merchants who arrived in Beijing with the prince.

Fortunately, I heard that the prince was setting up a local village community, and Tuqiao Village was also doing well. The younger son wrote back and persuaded him to help the people in Liujia Village to set up a local village community.

He listened to the advice.

to be honest.

At first, he was somewhat conflicted in his heart.

Although the entire Liujia Village belongs to the Liu family.

But he also plans to take over the land from the villagers to his family at a conscientious price in times of disaster.

Then let the clan members rent and farm the land.

There are scholars in his family, and his youngest son is an official, so he can be exempted from land tax.

The relatives work as tenant farmers for his family, which is even more worry-free than the owner-cultivator!

The reason why I finally decided to help the villagers and provide money and effort to establish a rural village community was not the younger son's persuasion, which played a decisive role.

It’s because of this prince.

Never mind whether the other party goes to sea or not.

He wanted to leave a good impression in King Yan's mind through this behavior.

After all, who knows how the situation will develop in the future.

If the protection is not complete, one day, this person or this person's descendant will take countless naval warships and fight back to the Central Plains.

That's not what he said.

It was his youngest son who said that many officials in Jinling privately discussed this after watching the naval warships firing cannons.

The Ming Dynasty officials were so hostile to this man.

This trend cannot be reversed.

If the prince does not kill this trend.

Just wait and see, in the future, the prince and the King of Yan will definitely have conflicts.

Although he is not an official.

But he has lived for decades!

Buried his neck in the earth.

He eats more salt than others eat rice!

"Your Highness can't stay for a meal, so you must bring the wine we prepared for the soldiers."

"Old sir..."

Zhu Di just opened his mouth and was interrupted by Liu Zuchang: "Your Highness, this is all what we learned from writing letters to Tuqiao Village after our Liujia Village established a local village community..."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

Looking at the old gentleman with gray hair in front of him, who looked obviously older than a few years ago, he could not help but be surprised, "Liujia Village has established a rural village community?"

As far as he knows, the county government to which Liujia Village belongs is not in the plan sequence of the court's rural villages and communities in recent years.

In recent years, Liu Bowen has promoted the establishment of rural villages and communities in local areas.

It is mainly concentrated in three types of places.

One type is some important military and political hubs and county governments.

It is conducive to the spread of rural villages and communities.

One type is areas with huge potential and good farming conditions.

It is conducive to quickly creating economic benefits for the court and making up for the costs spent by the court in promoting the construction of rural villages and communities.

The last type is areas with harsh natural environment and unstable people's hearts.

The establishment of rural villages and communities will quickly solve the problem of food and clothing, which is conducive to local peace and people's support for the court.

Liujia Village does not belong to any of the three categories.

If a rural village community is established.

It must be spontaneous.

Liu Zuchang took the lead to help.

Zhu Di finally asked about this matter, and Liu Zuchang smiled and said, "I heard that the prince led the villagers of Tuqiao Village to build a local village community, and the villagers of Tuqiao Village are thriving, so I want to do something for my fellow villagers..."

...

Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu stood by and listened to Liu Zuchang's chattering, even a little long-winded, and detailed how to contribute money and effort to build a local village community.

They couldn't help but smile at each other.

How could they not see Liu Zuchang's little thoughts.

"Prince, our Liujia Village has also built a corn stalk wine workshop. Our Liu family did not invest in the local village community, but invested in the rice shop and wine shop opened in the surrounding county government. The shares are the same as the villagers, and it is also a hired worker share system, and we don't have more!"

Zhu Di smiled and listened carefully.

He held Liu Zuchang's hand and patted it, "Mr. Old, you are so righteous! But, Mr. Old, remember to warn your descendants not to touch the shares of the local village community. This part of the shares can only be passed down within the family of the people. I have set up several control groups in Fujian. There are gentry who have invested in the local village community, and they also have the same shares..."

...

"However, in recent years, as my attention has shifted to Dongfan, they have begun to act recklessly and plot to become famous. They use investment losses to make the villagers, every household, bear debts, and then swallow up the people's shares. After this northern expedition is over and His Majesty goes on a southern tour, I will raise my knife and sound a warning to the gentry of the world."

...

He didn't know whether the Liu family had invested in the local village community.

After all, it was just Liu Zuchang's one-sided statement.

But don't be afraid.

When he raises the butcher knife in Fujian.

After exterminating a few clans and spreading the news, the gentry of the world will put away their little thoughts.

As for the shops and stores opened outside the local village community, it's nothing for the Liu family to invest.

The Liu family's vision can also quickly help the rural villages to develop to a higher level.

What's more, they are still quietly implementing the employee share system.

...

Liu Zuchang watched Zhu Di talking and laughing, talking about raising the butcher knife.

He felt cold in his heart.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, my Liu family will never get involved in the shares of the rural villages. Even when the villagers can manage the shops and businesses opened outside on their own, our Liu family is willing to withdraw from the management and equity!"

Zhu Di smiled.

Knowing that he frightened the old man, he clapped his hands to comfort him: "Old man, rest assured to lead the villagers to manage the shops and businesses opened outside. Tuqiao Village is simply using the employee share system to attract talents, and your Liujia Village is your Liu family leading the clan members to expand outward with the employee share system. These two models are not prohibited by the court. Our two villages have a fate. Now, our two villages can set an example for the world!"

Both models.

He can see it.

For some enlightened gentry.

Allow them to participate in the local villages and develop the employment shareholding system business.

It can not only win over these enlightened gentry and make them supporters of the local villages and employment shareholding system.

It can also make use of their talent resources.

What he wants to guarantee is the original capital of the people based on the land.

Liu Zuchang was relieved.

Then.

Zhu Di accepted the two carts of corn stalk wine sent by Liujia Village and set off again.

…

Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu, the brothers, followed Zhu Di and turned their heads to look at the villagers of Liujia Village who were beating gongs and drums to boost the morale of the soldiers of the First Army.

They all sighed.

It's only been a few years.

The fourth brother has gone from the absolute low point in the ninth year of Hongwu.

He has such a momentum now.

It's really sad!

Dai Wang Zhu Gui came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhu Di, "Fourth brother, this Liu Zuchang is clearly trying to leave a good impression in your heart..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, "Old Thirteen, everyone in the world is interested in profit. You can't veto what the other person does just because his intentions are not pure..."

How could he not see it.

In order to leave a good impression on him, Liu Zuchang spent money and effort to help the Liu family villagers build a local village community.

this is nothing.

As long as Liu Zuchang helps build a rural village community, he will contribute to the world!

Although, his status in his heart is different from those of selfless people.

But in terms of face and courtesy, he is willing to give the other party enough.

To govern the world, guide people to benefit, promote virtue, and follow the law.

For people like Liu Zuchang, it is a guide, and then remind him to follow the law, and finally hope that Liu Zuchang can promote morality.

"For different people, the order of using the three will vary."

“This way, talent can be used as much as possible for us.”

Zhu 㭎 and Zhu Xi were all silently pondering these words.

Zhu Ji was the first to recover and looked deeply at Zhu Di, 'If the fourth brother fights for the heirloom, the eldest brother will be in danger! ’

Just use Lao Si’s employment principle.

To be honest, if Lao Si wanted to win over a group of people in Ming Dynasty, it would not be difficult.

Zhu 㭎 asked curiously: "Fourth brother, is it okay to allow gentry to participate in the businesses and shops developed by rural village communities?"

The brothers came back to their senses after hearing the sound, and all looked at Zhu Di.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Zhu Di said with a smile: "As long as we build a moat between the businesses and shops that are developed externally and the rural communities, and prevent them from eroding the shares of the rural communities..."

Waiting for my father to visit Fujian in the south.

In Fujian, families were confiscated and their families exterminated.

Then add a rural village company for bankruptcy liquidation, which can only liquidate assets other than land, cattle, farm tools and other equity capital.

"As long as it does not erode the share capital of rural village communities, the court can also allow the gentry to establish a worker-share system and occupy more shares in foreign businesses and stores. , there are more or less, it’s nothing…”

…

"On the contrary, it can win over the enlightened gentry and make them recognize and support the rural village community and the employee-share system. It can also weaken the opponents and strengthen the stability of this decree. The court must ensure equal wealth. This equal wealth is not absolute. On average, in the future, when rural villages develop to a higher level, the people become richer, and they cultivate more knowledgeable children, if they are not satisfied with the gentry earning more wealth, they can completely end the cooperation with the gentry. "

"The common people firmly control the original share capital of rural village societies and control the output of rural industries. As long as they are capable enough, they can completely end their cooperation with the gentry."

In the development process, each period corresponds to the situation of each period.

How do people choose?

The choice lies with the people.

"In the future, rural people will control the output of all industries. In the city, there will be a system of employee-owned shares operated by gentry and rural village communities, a system of employee-owned shares operated purely by merchants, a system purely operated by rural communities, and various types of employee-owned shares. As long as these are achieved, our Ming Dynasty will be very exciting and active in the future!"

…

Zhu 㭎 and others were stunned when they heard the scene described by Zhu Di.

I racked my brains, trying to picture the scene of the Ming Dynasty in my mind.

But I still can't describe it.

What the fourth child said.

It has never happened in thousands of years.

They have absolutely nothing to draw from, so how can they describe it imaginatively?

Zhu Xi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, in a few years, I will go to sea to visit your territory!"

Such a scene would never happen first in Ming Dynasty.

It will definitely be under the rule of Lao Si.

"Yes, fourth brother. In a few years, when second brother goes there, I will also go and have a look."

"I am coming too!"

…

The brothers spoke one after another.

Everyone knows it.

The place where such a scene happened first must have been under the rule of Fourth Brother, and it could never be the Ming Dynasty.

"OK!"

Zhu Di smiled and agreed.

After the Northern Expedition ended,

He is about to take action against Luzon.

Be the first to capture all the islands and land on the sea.

While doing construction at the same time.

One side sent a navy from Luzon to the south.

Try to see if you can find Oceania.

No matter whether Oceania can be found or not.

Just take Luzon.

He is about to officially establish a country.

When the time comes, I will definitely invite my second brother and the others to attend.

…

Two days after leaving Liujiacun.

Zhu Biao suddenly sent an order, ordering the Army's First Town Cavalry Biao, two cavalry battalions specializing in the engineering department, to rush to the front army.

It turned out that after entering Hebei, the roads were covered with snow, making it difficult for the four new armies in front to cope.

…

Mid-March.

When the Army's First Town arrived in Peiping first.

When the imperial troops arrived one after another.

…

Outside Xifengkou.

Daning.

Hundreds of thousands of Beiyuan elite gathered.

In the sweat tent.

Zhang Yu and Zheng Shilong sat near the door.

Silently listening to the leaders of various ministries, whispering to each other.

At the same time, he observed these young tribal leaders.

The older generation of grassland heroes, with the exception of Nahachu, have basically been replaced by this group of young heroes.

Originally, the grassland that he was very familiar with has now become very unfamiliar.

All the previous connections are gone.

As a result, his current situation in the grassland is very difficult.

As a Han Chinese, he commanded a tribe of 200,000 people.

He has long been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many young heroes.

They wanted to use his Han identity as an excuse to rush up, tear him apart, and divide his people and army.

As for other Han officials.

Now they are all gathered in three places.

One place is here.

Some Han officials came to serve him.

One place is in the royal court, serving as an idle position and acting as a staff member of Khan Toghon Temur.

One place is under the command of Nahachu, the king of Liaoyang.

In short, in recent years, Han officials and former heroes of the grassland have almost been swept into the dust of history.

He relied on military power to survive until now.

However, there are also wolves around.

Fortunately, the court's northern expedition is about to begin.

"Khan is here!"

There was a shouting outside the tent, and the wide curtain was opened.

Everyone got up in a hurry.

Toghon Temur, with Nahachu, walked into the tent with dragon-like steps.

"Greetings to the Khan!"

The sound of worship rang out.

Toghon Temur sat down.

Nahachu sat down at the first seat on the left.

Mahamu and other young heroes glanced at Nahachu with a flash of disdain in their eyes.

Nahachu noticed the disdainful glance, but pretended not to notice it.

He just glanced silently in the direction of Zhang Yu.

This group of newly grown wolf cubs are in the period of growing up, with a huge appetite, and they dare not bite each other. He and Zhang Yu, the two old guys, became the targets of this group of wolf cubs.

On weekdays, they kept a close eye on them in the dark.

Baring their teeth and claws at them.

Toghon Temur used the Khan's army and won over him and Zhang Yu to subdue this group of wolf cubs.

Humph!

Toghon Temur is playing with fire!

The birth and rise of this group of wolf cubs certainly made the grassland full of offensiveness again.

But if you are not careful.

This group of wolf cubs will bite and eat Toghon Temur, the Khan!

Fortunately, when the whole grassland was in a blaze, a group of wolf cubs looked around hungrily for prey.

The Ming Dynasty's northern expedition began.

Let these wolf cubs fight with the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Silang!

Of course.

After winning this battle.

If the wolf cubs suffered heavy casualties, it would be fine.

If these wolf cubs obtained a large number of captives and weapons from the war and expanded rapidly.

The future situation of the grassland would be unpredictable.

Toghon Temur saw all the weirdness in the Khan's tent, a smile flashed at the corner of his lips, and then he said: "Sit down."

They were hostile to each other and wanted to devour each other.

Only then did he, the Khan, sit firmly.

"Thank you, Khan!"

After everyone sat down, their eyes were all cast on Toghon Temur.

Toghon Temur looked around at everyone, his expression gradually becoming solemn, "The spy in Beiping has sent news that the First Army Regiment of Zhu Di, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, has arrived in Beiping. It is said that the First Army Regiment is a new-style army fully equipped with firearms. You should have heard about the sensation it caused after returning to the capital of the Ming Dynasty..."

...

When mentioning the First Army Regiment, everyone was serious.

Everyone has heard about the sensation caused by this new army after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that during the review on Hongwu Avenue, it overwhelmed the Donggong Guard of the Ming Prince.

In the confrontation exercise, it overwhelmed the Donggong Guard and the new army of the Ming Jingying.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it has the reputation of being the strongest army in the world.

What's more, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, who commanded this new army, was a hero who had traveled thousands of miles and crisscrossed the grassland, leaving the entire grassland helpless.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was just commanding a beggar army, and they didn't dare to despise it!

…

"I am going to challenge Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Ming. The two sides will fight in the important town of Zhangbei. We will use the city wall of Zhangbei to defend and let the first army of the fourth prince of Ming attack..."

"In this battle, we want to compare who is stronger, our grassland elite or the strongest army in the world of Ming..."

Mahamu, Taiping, Alutai and others are secretly thinking, is it feasible?

It is feasible!

Zhangbei is an important checkpoint for Peking and Shanxi to go out of the grassland.

A small number of troops can bypass from other places.

But the grain and fodder of Ming cannot bypass Zhangbei.

Zhangbei, Ming must conquer it!

After a group of tribal leaders confirmed that this plan was feasible, they looked at the three leaders of the Wala tribe of Western Mongolia.

Zhangbei belongs to the sphere of influence of the Western Mongolian tribe.

Mahamu, Taiping, and Batuboluo looked at each other.

They are the three leaders of the Wala tribe.

Toghon Temur looked at the three people, "Zhangbei is under your jurisdiction. The three of you should discuss which of the three tribes will fight the first battle with the First Army of the Fourth Prince of Ming!"

Dissatisfaction flashed across Taiping's face.

His lips just moved.

"Khan..." Mahamu smiled and spoke first: "Our three tribes are all cavalry, and we have no experience in defending cities. I think the troops of King Liaoyang have more experience in defending cities, and King Liaoyang has had experience in fighting with the Fourth Prince of Ming. King Liaoyang is more suitable."

"Yes, yes, King Liaoyang is more suitable!" Taiping reacted instantly and laughed and recommended.

"Khan, I also think King Liaoyang is more suitable."

"Haha... After all, King Liaoyang has experience of failure, and he must have learned a lesson from it!"

...

Other young heroes supported Mahamu.

Toghon Temur's face was slightly embarrassed.

Speaking of experience of failure, he also has it!

After all, when 200,000 cavalry gathered together to attack and suppress Zhu Silang, he was the commander-in-chief!

Are these people mocking Nahachu, or are they mocking him?

Zhang Yu saw that Tuogu Si Timur's face turned slightly dark and sneered secretly.

Raising gu is a double-edged sword!

"Please Khan appoint the King of Liaoyang to fight against the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty for the first time!"

"Please Khan..."

…

A group of young heroes stood up one after another and respectfully asked for orders.

But the situation is like forcing the palace.

The anger in Togu Si Timur's eyes flashed away, and his gaze turned to Nahachu.

The corners of Naha's eyes twitched, and he was angry, but he also understood.

All the leaders of the ministries forced the palace.

Togush Timur could never object. Instead of waiting for Togush Timur to speak, he might as well take the initiative himself.

Then he stood up and said, "Khan, I am willing to send troops to guard Zhang Bei!"

The failure of Hongwu in the eleventh year.

He has never been able to let it go.

Last time, Zhu Silang didn't have an upright fight with him. This time, let's start a battle and have an upright fight in Zhangbei!

He fully retreated from Liaodong and brought back 150,000 troops.

Even if he loses ten thousand or twenty thousand, he still has the strongest military force in the entire grassland, except for Gustimur!

Togu Si Timur nodded slightly, "Okay, I will send you ten artillery pieces from the tent!"

After the Ming army in Liaodong began to equip a large number of muskets and artillery, their Beiyuan army also followed suit.

Naha, in particular, has the most troops.

Supporting Naha's decision to send out ten artillery pieces is just to appease Naha.

Tuogu Si Timur stood up slowly, with a solemn face, and said with high spirits: "This battle is a strategic decisive battle between our grassland and the Ming Dynasty. The King of Liaoyang has set an example. I hope that all the ministries can work together to fight together." Win this battle and annihilate the Ming Dynasty’s elite, and the Central Plains will be opened to us again!”

"I heard that Zhu Silang proposed the establishment of rural village communes and a shareholding system in the Central Plains. In recent years, the Central Plains has been extremely rich and prosperous. Fujian, a province at the bottom, is so poor. You may not know how poor it is, but I know that now it is all a province. , a wealthy province with annual taxes of two million!”

…

The leaders of each department looked at each other.

Nodding in agreement.

Of course they understand that this battle is a matter of life and death and requires unity.

Unity won.

It is not impossible to rush into the Central Plains, strengthen yourself, and replace the Royal Court!

In this battle, we will all unite for our own benefit.

Immediately, a group of young heroes swore an oath to the Immortal God in front of Tuogu Si Timur.

The hesitation on Togu Si Timur's face became even stronger.

Swear to the Immortal God.

No one dares to mess around!

"good!"

With a loud praise, "Send someone to issue a challenge to the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
