Chapter 145: To the South
On the south bank of the Haraha River, on the third day of the third month of March, dawn.
The cold wind blowing from the far north was still violent, blowing the big silk and battle flags on the high platform by the river, but the people standing under it had no intention of being cold, and even had a fever all over, because the blood in their hearts was surging and boiling.
Ugqi stood under the battle flag, looking at the Mongol army that was crossing the Haraha River, his expression was excited, and he kept pointing at Taiping, Balpolo and Arak next to him, and laughed from time to time. On the right side of the Warat generals, is the Mongolian Khan Erlebok and his younger brother Harguchuk, as well as several generals of the eastern Mongolia, compared to the elation of the Warat generals, the faces of the Great Khan and others are very unsightly, from the process of crossing the river, it can be seen that the equipment, discipline, and elite degree of the Warat army are far above the eastern Mongolian tribes, and the only Asut department that Erlebok can handle was transferred to Suiyuan, so now he can only endure the obscure ridicule of the Warat heavy generals.
The dispatch of the entire army was in charge of Ugqi, under his command, the army kept crossing the river, kept gathering in the distance, and finally everyone saw that all were the Mongol army, which was since the war of fishing in the sea, the Mongols once again gathered an army of 100,000. The eyes of the army were all on the high platform by the river, and above it was the Great Khan of all Mongolia------- Elbek.
Under the banner of the hunting station, next to the high Daxu, Erlebok was a little unnatural, on the right was his own army, and on the left was Uhaqi's pro-army, but the contrast was very obvious. The people of Warat were silent, but the cavalry of the Great Khan's headquarters were talking to each other, pointing at the people on the stage.
But he knew that at this time he had to fulfill the duties of the Great Khan, so he pulled out the long knife in his hand and raised it high in the air: "The warriors of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, ahead, is the Ming dog, they are slaves, they are untouchables, they dare to rebel against the noble master, today, let us use the saber to teach them a lesson, let them know that they will always be slaves, and we, the noble Mongols, are the masters of this heaven and earth, forever!" ”
The Mongolian army in the audience waved their weapons excitedly: "Victory, victory, victory!" ”。
"I, Elbok Khan, order you, to the south, kill the Ming dog, kill, kill, kill!" Elberk's voice grew louder and more excited, and finally he swung the sword in his hand down.
In an instant, the grassland remembered the thunderous cry "Kill, kill, kill", and they waved their war knives in their hands, forming a sea of knives and a sea of fire of revenge.
"Ugqi."
"The end will be."
"I will give you a golden sword, and I will have full authority to command this battle, and Wangqing will fight hard and live up to my hopes."
"Xie Dahan trusts, the last general will definitely return triumphantly and live up to his mission!" Ugqi knelt down, took the sword, and then raised it high, like a signal, all the Mongols brandished their weapons and shouted: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" At this moment, the hearts of all the Mongols were glued together, and they wanted to use their sabers to regain their glory, restore their former glory......
The Mongol army turned, instigating the war horses under their crotches, and the speed became faster and faster, like a raging river, south, south, and south......
At this moment, King Ning was sleeping in a net pocket, supported by two horses and galloping south. Guo Ying frowned and looked at King Ning, feeling happy, regretful, and fearful of the future. He didn't expect King Ning to meet the Mongols' rangers, because of the huge disparity in numbers, Bu Wan sent a distress signal, and when Li Jinglong and Chen Heng arrived to kill the Mongols, King Ning was okay and only suffered minor injuries, but Bu Wan fell, he was hit by seven arrows, but he fought to the death and did not retreat, and covered King Ning with his body. When Bu Wan was found dead, King Ning held his corpse and cried, like a helpless child, Bu Wan was like his brother, tolerating him, protecting him, and finally dying for him. When Guo Ying arrived, King Ning was so emotional that he even drew his sword to kill Guo Ying, but was stopped by everyone and had to stop. However, King Ning was also injured, so he had to put it in his net pocket and take a little rest.
Soon after dawn, Guo Ying met Qu Neng, who came to answer, and after the two armies converged, they rushed to the camp of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Fifty miles behind them was a surging Mongol army, and the largest battle between the Mongols and the Ming was about to begin......
Since Zhu Yunwen took Wang Du's family to the capital and gave him a house, Wang Du has become more energetic and often advises Zhu Yunwen. Wang Du is different from Zhuo Jing and others, he pays attention to the sophistication of people and does not hesitate to speculate on others with the worst thoughts, so Zhu Yunwen's reputation in the palace, the court, and the market is getting better and better, while the relationship between Wang Du and Zhuo Jing, Fang Xiaoru and others is getting worse and worse.
Xu Huizu's recital went to Zhu Yuanzhang and was passed. Zhu Yunwen ordered Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shaanxi, and Geng Bingwen, who was in charge of the Shaanxi military, to transfer the guard to the north, and the elite troops to Suiyuan to build the city, and the remaining old and weak were under the jurisdiction of the newly appointed Tuntian envoy, some of them moved to Suiyuan Tuntian, and some of them stayed in place.
Since the invention of cement in the Institute of Engineering, Zhu Yunwen first conducted a trial in martial arts and built a cement road from martial arts to the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang personally walked through it, praised it, and immediately ordered all the main roads in and outside Nanjing to be cemented. Therefore, during this time, Zhu Yunwen's main focus was the cement road, and Wang Du was sent to supervise the imperial history, specifically to inspect the construction quality and employment of the cement road, and put an end to the exploitation and squeezing of the people.
With the paving of cement roads, the demand for cement has also increased greatly, in order to solve the current situation of insufficient production capacity of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Yunwen adopted the way of joining the chain in later generations, and authorized the production method of cement to several large merchants, such as Baijia, Liujia, Dujia, etc., and set the tax rate of the cement industry at 20%. In addition, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, the bank asked the bank to lend loans to those craftsmen who were interested in making their own decisions to help them set up cement enterprises, but the initial response was not good, and only two craftsmen gathered a dozen people to create two cement factories. After Zhu Yunwen knew, he smiled lightly, this is only temporary, when these two people make money, the next time there is such an opportunity, the craftsmen will definitely break the head.
Later, Zhu Yunwen adopted this approach for emerging industries, providing patent protection, but raising taxes to encourage artisans to engage in business. Slowly, everyone saw the benefits of patents, and some old craftsmen applied for patents one after another, and then authorized them to factories and enterprises to use, and business slowly prospered.
After two years, the Bank of Communications has gradually become the largest bank ticket number in Beijing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and most of the businessmen in the emerging industry like to deposit money in the Bank of Communications, so that they can eat interest and use it is also very convenient, but Zhu Yunwen still told the bank manager Zhao Yufei not to over-issue bank bills, everything is based on stability and credit construction, and ordered the household department Shangshu Yuxin to send personnel to regularly check the accounts, and at the same time strengthen the guards in all business points, and there is at least one brocade guard in the store to monitor. Yu Xin was very happy to send someone into the bank to check the accounts, and privately even regretted that he did not send a capable cadre to take charge of the bank in the first place, and as a result, Zhao Yufei, a businessman's son, picked up a bargain, and he even suggested that the bank be merged into the household department for unified management, but Zhu Yunwen naturally refused sternly.
The pilot of Jinzhouwei is very successful, its production of cloth, soybean oil, canned fish, shelled japonica rice has been spread out in southern Liaoning, the production and sales network to the north to Shenyang, to the south across the sea to cover Guangning and other places, the army to the north to use a lot of Jinzhouwei cloth and canned food. Wu Sheng, the commander of the Jinzhou Wei, and the envoy of the Jinzhou Wei Tuntian, were both rewarded by the imperial court.
Duanben Palace, unitary time.
Zhu Yunwen is eating with Ma Hui, since Ma Hui is pregnant, Zhu Yunwen will accompany her to eat as long as she is in the palace, Zhu Yunwen, who has experience in marriage and childbirth in her previous life, has been very moved by Ma Hui's performance in this regard, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better.
The dishes in Ma Hui's bowl had been piled up into a hill, and he couldn't help wrinkling his cute little nose and said, "Your Highness," the voice was very long, and Zhu Yunwen listened to it and felt itchy in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”
"You have too many dishes for your concubine, and your concubine can't eat it."
"Hehe, Liu'er, eat more, the child should eat too. However, you also have to go out for a walk more, breathe, and be in good health, so that it will be easier to have children, and if your physique is too weak, it will be more difficult. ”
Ma Hui put down the chopsticks in her hand, put her hands on the edge of the table, and looked at Zhu Yunwen with her beautiful eyes. Zhu Yunwen made her feel furious: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
"How can His Highness know about a woman giving birth to a child?"
"This," Zhu Yunwen said secretly, as if he was overacting, what should I do? In a hurry, Shengzhi said: "I went to the hospital two days ago to ask. ”
"Which Imperial Doctor?"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but look left and right and said to him: "I don't remember, by the way, Liu'er, Yunxi is back, have you come to see you?" ”
Ma Hui looked at Zhu Yunwen's appearance, smiled "poof", nodded Zhu Yunwen's forehead with his hand, and said softly: "Your Highness is really a good person, she cares so much about her concubine, and the concubine must give birth to a dragon son for Your Highness, so that she can inherit His Highness's career." ”
"Well, Liu'er has worked hard." Zhu Yunwen took Ma Hui's hand and looked at her eyes affectionately.
This time it was Ma Hui's turn to stand it anymore, she pulled out her hand, suddenly nodded her head with her hand, and said, "Don't you mention that I forgot, Yunxi did come to me, he has something he wants you to help with?" ”
"What's the matter? When I saw him in the afternoon, why didn't he say anything? ”
"He told me," Ma Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, it's not that the concubine is interfering in politics, it's just that Yunxi begged me for this sister-in-law for the first time, and I can't refuse." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"Yun Xi said that he is almost finished learning martial arts, and he wants to go out to lead the troops, I am afraid that you will not agree, I hope I will help make peace."
"Yunxi, do you want to lead the troops?"
