Ili River Valley, outside Huiyuan City.

But seeing that the imperial camp in the center of the Ming military camp is brilliantly lit, heavily guarded, and surrounded by yellow curtains within a radius of three miles.

The yellow mantle inside and out, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, all of them are elite Yulin sergeants, and there are Tianwu army patrol camps outside to distribute around.

Zhou Peigong, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, stretched out his head outside the imperial camp, pacing back and forth, as if he wanted to go in.

But he also knew that if he didn't follow the edict to meet him, let alone walk into the emperor's imperial camp, even if it was the outer warning area, he wouldn't want to take a step closer, if he could, the posture would definitely be horizontal.

Zhou Peigong sighed deeply, and was about to go back, but was stopped by someone: "Lord Zhou, why are you still here?" ”

When he looked back, it turned out to be Cao Minghao, the general of the Imperial Forest, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "I have seen General Xiao Cao......"

Cao Minghao replied casually: "Lord Zhou is polite, I told you a long time ago, Your Majesty has already rested, I advise you, it is better to go back and rest early!" ”

Seeing that the red man beside the Son of Heaven was impatient and ready to leave, Zhou Peigong didn't dare to make a detour, and hurriedly said: "General Xiao Cao, please make a word for me in front of Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Han is besieged, our army has only 70,000 men stationed in the Ili River Valley......"

"Although the coalition army has fought several defeats in recent days, it can't help our army, but the loss of strength is not large, Your Majesty insists on sending a large army north to rescue the King of Han, in case the coalition army takes advantage of the weakness, Your Majesty is in danger......"

A few days ago, Zhu Cihong learned that the second child, Zhu Heqi, was besieged by the Junggar army, and his heart was shocked, and he was at a loss for the first time in decades.

However, at this time, the Tsarist Russia, the Kazakh Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, and the Mughal Empire, with a total of 150,000 allied troops, had already marched into the Ili River valley and had several confrontations with the Ming army.

They came all the way, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they were ordered by Zhu Cihong to lose three games in a row, and their troops were greatly reduced.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Cihong resolutely sent Li Yu to lead 30,000 cavalry of the Longwu Army to the north to rescue the Han king Zhu Heqi at all costs, regardless of the opposition of the generals.

40,000 Ming troops against 150,000 coalition troops, the generals in the army don't care, they are confident that they can resist the enemy, and it is a big deal not to attack.

Zhou Peigong, the civil officials who accompanied the car, didn't think so, they were afraid that the Ming Dynasty would change in the current Tumubao, not only the emperor would be humiliated, but even his own entourage would be humiliated.

As for some civil officials in Beijing, it is not known whether they are looking forward to the civil fort......

All in all, Zhou Peigong saw him late at night and strongly opposed the division of troops, not only wanting to make meritorious contributions, but also not wanting to be unlucky and go down in history.

After speaking, Zhou Peigong turned around and went back alone, he knew that it was useless for him to stay, but it would cause General Xiao Cao's dissatisfaction.

Zhou Peigong's suggestion failed to reach Zhu Cihong, because Cao Minghao married the youngest daughter of Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he, Zhou Peigong, was the disciple of Yang Shicong, the second assistant.

The dispute between the two Yangs of the Tianwu Dynasty became more and more intense, and Yang Shicong dreamed of bringing down Yang Tinglin, and lived an addiction to the first assistant of the cabinet before the temporary time, which went down in history.

How can Cao Minghao help his opponent sit big and bring down his father-in-law? Seeing Zhou Peigong leaving, he patted his ass and continued to patrol his duties.

In the big tent, Zhu Cihong leaned on the soft collapse to take a nap, looked at the top of the tent with his eyes blankly, and sighed that he had not fought for many years, and his body and bones were not as good as before.

Thinking of the second child being surrounded, Zhu Cihong tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Among several princes, the crown prince has the best civil rule, and the Han king Zhu and the emperor have the strongest military ability, and he hopes that in the next few decades, the prince and the Han king will be one scholar and one martial artist, and the father and son will jointly govern the vast Ming Empire.

Today, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has surpassed the territory of the Chinese dynasties, and is even larger than the Yuan Empire, and there are boundless maritime territories.

Such a vast land area, especially the remote areas, was handed over to foreign ministers to take care of, Zhu Cihong was not at ease, after all, there were not a few people who cut off the frontier and established themselves as kings in history, such as Zhao Tuo, the Qin general who established the Nanyue State......

Wenzhi can be taken care of by civil officials, and the army is still best in the hands of his own family, as for worrying that the king of Han will support his own army and threaten the imperial court, Zhu Cihong is not worried.

Doesn't he know about his own son? As long as he, the emperor, is here, the sons below can't make any big waves, and they can't be recalled to Beijing with an edict.

It has been 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and there has never been a situation where the father is alive and the son rebels.

The primogeniture inheritance system remains unchanged, and the national capital of the Ming Dynasty will not be shaken!

Even if any vassal king learns Zhu Di, it's fine, it's all his own family anyway!

At the beginning, the Great Mongol Empire spanned the Eurasian continent and had a vast territory, but it was finally divided due to the struggle between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, and disintegrated to form the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ogedai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate.

Although the Mongol Empire declined, the descendants of Genghis Khan and his close relatives were scattered throughout Europe and Asia, and many became royal families, and the established khanates lasted for hundreds of years, among which the founding monarch of the Mughal Empire in India is also a descendant of the Mongols.

It can be said that the four countries of the Ming Dynasty were deeply influenced by the Mongols, and the three tribes of Mobei, the Dzungar tribe, and the Kazakh Khanate were the descendants of the Mongols.

It is also because of this relationship that for decades, Tsarist Russia has continuously sent envoys to the three departments of Mobei to lobby, and put forward a large number of conditions, hoping that Khalkha Mongolia will be incorporated into Russia, but they have all been rejected.

The three departments of Mobei have gained a lot of benefits from mixing with the Ming Dynasty over the years, but they are still not satisfied, and they are even more deeply worried, worried that the Ming Dynasty will send troops and officials in Khalkha sooner or later, and cut off their hereditary nobles!

Moreover, they also wanted to fight the idea of the Dzungar department, and the descendants of Genghis Khan never stopped infighting, and they would kill at every opportunity.

Zhu Cihong closed his eyes tiredly, but faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he woke up suddenly, sat up straight, and shouted outside the imperial tent: "Li Hu, what's the matter?" Is it the military report of the King of Han......"

Li Hu, the general of the Qianqing Palace, replied outside the tent: "Your Majesty, it seems that you are the messenger of the military report......

Li Hu stared at the gate of the imperial camp, and saw a few horsemen coming towards this side at a rapid pace, not caring at all about the marching Imperial Guards of the Son of Heaven, and the Imperial Forest Army also gave way.

If it weren't for the urgent military report of 100,000 people, no one would dare to gallop in the imperial camp like this, and the prince would not dare!

The cavalry approached, and the sound of horses' hooves was mixed with the voice of the herald: "Front-line military report, emergency military report from His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the King of Han who has reported that the military report is here!" Li Hu said overjoyed.

Soon, the horse team galloped to the front of the imperial camp, and Cao Minghao, who was patrolling the camp, came with a team of imperial forest soldiers and greeted them in person.

There were nearly fifty horsemen in this team, and it was no wonder that Zhu Cihong could hear the sound of horses' hooves in the tent.

The leader was Xu Mingwu's personal soldiers, and he saw him jump off the horse quickly, stumbling and almost falling to the ground, but fortunately, he was agile and showed a sideways flip to stabilize his body.

"Urgent military report, His Royal Highness the King of Han defeated the main force of the Dzungar army at Ulungu Lake, and our army has won a great victory!"

As he spoke, regardless of the identity of the other party, the military report in the arms of the tall general was submitted.

Cao Minghao happily took the battle report and asked, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Han okay?" ”

Gao Dashang didn't catch his breath, but he fell to the ground, and many military horses behind him were foaming at the mouth.

Cao Minghao was stunned, and sighed in his heart how long these guys had run, even the horses at the post station had run for them to collapse, and people were tired.

He ordered people to place these messengers in the camp, and hurriedly ran to the Chinese army's tent with the military newspaper.

Zhu Cihong, who was also a little impatient, had already taken a few steps to catch up, snatched the package containing the military newspaper from Cao Minghao's hand, opened it and took out the military newspaper written in a special paper code.

"Hahaha!"

After reading it, Zhu Cihong immediately laughed a few times: "The main force of the Dzungar army was destroyed, the traitor Zhuot Babatur was defeated and committed suicide, the King of Han is worthy of being my son, he has a good command of the army, and dares to overcome a strong enemy in adversity!" ”

Cao Minghao was equally excited, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han uses soldiers like a god......

"This kid is really good, I didn't use the wrong person, hahaha!"

Zhu Cihong laughed, and then seemed to be a little sad, and said, "I don't know if my son has suffered.......

In addition to the excitement, Zhu Cihong ordered someone to inform the crown prince Zhu He Majesty who stayed in Beijing of this good news, and announced the news to the world!
