A strange color flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes, "Duke Jin is in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, but I didn't expect to pay attention to the affairs of the court a lot!" One sentence admits Kim Young's speculation.

"The emperor is worried about state affairs, and those of us who are slaves and maids can't let the emperor work too hard, right?" The corners of Jin Ying's mouth curled slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "What can the prince say in front of the emperor, please persuade the emperor, my Ming Dynasty is in an eventful season, although the undercurrent in southern Xinjiang is surging, it is really not appropriate to use troops again......"

"We don't understand what Jin Gong said," Wang Zhen said in surprise: "Isn't the army of the Southern Expedition already set off?" Why is Jin Gong still ......" At a glance, Jin Ying was a little unnatural, and immediately realized, "Our family has forgotten that Jin Gong is from over there, what's the matter, is there something wrong over there?" ”

"Our family is not afraid of the prince, you are laughing at ......" Jin Ying's face shook and told the situation in Annan.

"Jin Gong's heart is still towards his own mulberry land," Wang Zhen said leisurely: "But Jin Gong rest assured, the army of Guangnan to conquer Luchuan has almost emptied my Ming Dynasty's treasury this year, plus the Tartars have repeatedly violated the border, the emperor has the heart to conquer Annan, and he has no power." However, it is very inappropriate to let that Li Yuanlong make trouble behind my Ming Dynasty...... "The voice changed and smiled: "It is also necessary to stabilize Annan, the key to this is to fall on this Li Yimin, how to make good use of him, it is very important to stabilize my Ming Southern Xinjiang, I believe that the emperor has also made a decision in his heart, you and I still wait for the holy will!" Since Emperor Ding Wen asked you to hand it over to Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, he didn't want to make a noise, and there was still a lot of room for maneuvering. ”

"So there is a prince of labor." Jin Ying arched his hand and said.

"Huh?" Wang Zhen smiled and patted his elbow, "Why should you be so polite between you and me, speaking of which, your son-in-law is also quite related to our family!" ”

"Oh?" Jin Ying was stunned, and before he could come to his senses, Wang Zhen had already turned around.

————————————

Before dawn, Yu Qian had already set off. He was wounded, and he was too old to ride a horse, so he got out of the barracks in a carriage. Yang Muyun, Lin Meier, Mo Buyu and Alexei also had a group of personal soldiers with them. The group went straight to the southeast on the official road.

The snow fell again, and Yang Muyun sighed that there was a lot of snow in the north, and there was some surprise that Leng Yifei did not go on the road with them.

"What about Brother Leng? Why didn't you see him in the barracks? Yang Muyun asked Lin Meier.

"What, you can't bear him?" Lin Mei'er's autumn-like eyes blinked and asked.

Yang Muyun smiled, "If Brother Leng doesn't want to go with us, I have to say goodbye to him." ”

"Tut-tut-" Lin Mei'er glanced at him, "When did you become so polite?" My senior brother is not like your sour scholars who pay attention to those red tape, if you want to go, your mother-in-law and mother-in-law are annoying. ”

"You mean, Brother Leng, he's gone?" Yang Muyun looked at her and said.

"Well," Lin Mei'er was noncommittal, her eyes fluttered, "My senior brother is not around, do you think you can bully me?" ”

"How dare I," Yang Muyun laughed, "In terms of martial arts, I may not be better than you." ”

"What if you overdo me?" Lin Mei'er chased after her and asked, "You won't take me to heart, will you?" ”

"Women are really troublesome," Yang Muyun said secretly, "A little thing will catch you endlessly." With a pat on the horse, he overtook Lin Meier.

Ahead, Mo Bu and Alexei kept talking. Yang Muyun couldn't understand Mongolian, so he watched the snow scene on the horse.

In winter, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the road seems unusually calm.

"My lord," said Mo Bu, who rode his horse to his side, "that Alexei said that there are many other countries to the west, and that everyone looks like him, tsk...... What would that look like? ”

"Want to know?" Yang Muyun smiled, "Isn't it enough to go west with him." ”

Mo Buyu stuck out his tongue, "I won't go, it's too far away, everyone looks weird, and it's uncomfortable to look at." ”

"You think they're weird?" Yang Muyun smiled: "Maybe in their eyes, you look very strange!" ”

"My lord, sometimes I admire those Tartars," Mo Buyu said, "they can ride over so far in the west, and conquer a large area. ”

"Do you want to learn from those Tartars, too?" Yang Muyun glanced at him with interest.

"Well," Mo Buyu nodded at his huge head, "I heard that Alexei said that when the Tartars came to them, they did not come face to face with the armies of the Western countries, but surrounded them like hunting, shot them with arrows, and then turned their horses away to lure them into pursuit. My lord, you think, at the beginning, they could still maintain a neat queue, running for dozens or even hundreds of miles, and the distance between people was widened. When the ranks of the armies of these Western countries became loose and the men were sleepy, the Tartars turned around and ate them one by one. ”

"The Tartars are really patient when they fight." Yang Muyun was secretly surprised when he heard this, and his description of the Mongols' war was far from being as light as he said, which required extremely high requirements for the quality of the army and even every soldier. The execution of military orders, and even the endurance, must far exceed that of the other party. If this battle were to be fought by the Ming army, it would definitely not be like this. After this period of time, he fought with the steppe cavalry who had lived on horseback since childhood, and the other party repeatedly pressed the Ming army to fight, and there was no advantage at all in the field battle.

"My lord, if you follow such a team to fight in the north and south, how enjoyable it will be!" Mo Bu's tone couldn't hide his envy.

"What, regret following me?" Yang Muyun glanced at him, "I can go to Lord Yu to ask for an order to transfer you from the vanguard of the government army to Xuanfu Town, what do you think?" ”

"Your Excellency?" Mo Buyu's face flushed, and his emotions became a little excited, "If it weren't for you, my brother and I wouldn't know where to mix now!" Since I followed the adult, I have become a person. I swore in my heart that no matter where you go, I will never leave. ”

"Why do you want to be like this," Yang Muyun's heart suddenly warmed, "You have arrived in the border town, and you have made more military achievements, if you really become a general, I will only be happy for you." ”

"Aren't you also bent on breaking away from the government army?" Mo Buyu said: "Why do you want to rush back to the capital now?" ”

"I'm different from you," Yang Muyun's gaze swept to the carriage behind, "Lord Yu has something to go back to Beijing, he can't be without a powerful person by his side, I know him from the first time, I can't bear to see him look embarrassed." ”

"That's it," Mo Bu said angrily, "You don't live up to your adult, and I can't fail you, in short, I'm with you." ”

"You rammer," Yang Muyun shook his head and sighed: "You are more suitable to stay in the army than me, the border town can often fight with the Tartars, and you can have military merits, and in the avant-garde of the government army, you can only get paid to those noble children, what's the good?" You are so reckless, don't you know that your good future has been delayed. ”

"If I didn't have you, what future would I have?" Mo Buyu grinned, "I've never regretted following adults." ”

Yang Muyun was angry and funny, he didn't know how to tell him, and shook his head.

"By the way, I'll let you teach that Alexei to speak Chinese," Yang Muyun turned his head and said, "How did he learn?" ”

"This?" Mo Buyu scratched his forehead, "I'm not very good at teaching people to learn words, teaching that Alexei to speak a few simple Chinese words, he forgot about it the next day, and I don't know how to teach him." ”

"It's really two pairs of rammed goods." Yang Muyun scolded with a smile.

Along the way, the snow gradually became heavier, and large flakes of snow fell on people's faces, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker. Yu Qian sat in the carriage, and his walking was not fast, and the wheels rolled over the thick snow, which made it even slower.

When it was getting dark, the group saw a village in front of them, built on a hill that was not very high.

"Lord Yu," Yang Muyunle turned his horse's head and came to Yu Qian's carriage, "It's getting late, the snow is congested, there is a village ahead, why don't you rest here for the night, and wait for the snow to fall lightly tomorrow morning before going on the road, what do you think?" ”

Yu Qian lifted the curtain and looked ahead, nodded and said, "Very good, Mu Yun, you go over and arrange it!" ”

It is a small village, built on a mountainside, and a small wall is built with stones around the village. Yang Muyun went over and asked the villagers about the name of the village, and knew that it was called Tumubao.

There are 100 households in the village, all of them are military households, and the surname of the village is Liao, called Liao Cheng, and it is also a hundred households here. Looking at his simple and honest face, no different from an ordinary villager, Yang Muyun really couldn't connect him with a majestic officer of a hundred households.

When guests came to the village, Liao Cheng and Liao Baihu summoned the villagers to settle them one by one to each household, and Yu Qian, Yang Muyun, and Lin Meier were arranged in the compound of Liao Baihu. Mo Buyu, Alexei and more than a dozen pro-soldiers arranged to go to other villagers' homes. Alexey's appearance was so peculiar that the villagers had never seen such a man as sexual, and no one dared to take him into their homes because of curiosity. Yu Qian was decisive and let Alexei sleep in his carriage at night, Alexei didn't care, Russians can sleep in the snow in winter, and they can sleep in the warm and comfortable car of Lord Shilang, which is already earning.

Liao Baihu saw that these people were extraordinary, and he didn't dare to slack off, killed a few sheep, and took out the wine brewed in the cellar to entertain them.

Sixty or seventy years have passed since the Tumubao military households came here during the Hongwu period, and their generation is already the third generation. Due to Hongwu Yongle's active expansion of Mobei years ago, this place became the interior, and although the Ming army's defense line shrank to the south during the Xuande period, it was still far from the border. The edification of a long and peaceful life has long since made them lose the courage of their ancestors. They are now real farmers. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was to let these military households be self-sufficient, farming in their spare time, and fighting in wartime. But farming for a long time without fighting made these military households unfamiliar with the skills of archery and horses, except for the difference from the household registration of civilian households, everything else is no different.

"Back then, my grandfather followed General Xu Daxu to fight with Wang Baobao here, and in that battle, killing the Tartar was to throw away his armor and abandon his ......armor," Liao Baihu said during the banquet, foaming at the mouth, as if the glory of his ancestors was from him.

Yu Qian and the three of them sat next to them, but they also listened with relish.

"Lord Liao," Yu Qian said, "How have you been doing here lately?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liao Baihu's face became heavy, and he sighed: "It's difficult, it's too difficult, the main thing is the lack of water." Don't hide it from you, sir, we can still store some water here in good years, but if we encounter a big drought......" shook his head, as if it was difficult to explain.

"Isn't there a well in this village?" Yang Muyun couldn't help but ask on the side.

"Wow, why not?" Liao Baihu's wife was a hearty peasant woman, and she opened her mouth and said, "There are four or five wells in the village!" They were all beaten during the Hongwu period, and the water at that time was shallow, and the iron hammer was not deep enough to dig on the ground, and the water came out. Otherwise, the civil fort would not have been located here. But after that, the water in the well became less and less, until a few years ago, the water in the well was completely dry, and no matter how deep it was, there was not a single Mercury. Now, the people of Tumubao live by collecting rain and snow. Fortunately, the snow fell early this year, and in our house alone, dozens of jars of snow water were collected and covered with a cellar! The words were overjoyed, and he seemed to be very satisfied with this year's year.

"But this is not a long-term solution," Liao Baihu said, "You can't expect God to come to us every year, right?" ”

"I'll talk about it later," Mrs. Liao was very open, "This person can't be suffocated by urine, as the saying goes, the tree moves the dead and the person lives, the court doesn't care about us, won't we find a way to live?" Fifteen miles to the south is the Mishui River, don't you give a table to Lord Liu of Yanqing's right guard, and let all the people in Tumubao move to the Mishui River? ”

"It's a rule set by Emperor Taizu that our military household guards the place, how can we move casually? He, Liu Xingtang, is just a guard commander, can he still change the rules of Emperor Taizu? Liao Baihu glared, "What do you know about a woman?" ”

"Tut-tut-" Mrs. Liao pouted, "What years have you still kept the rules of Emperor Taizu, if all the people in Tumu Fort are here and die of thirst, who else will abide by Emperor Taizu's rules?" ”

"You ......" was robbed by his wife in front of outsiders, and Liao Baihu suddenly felt that he had lost face.
