(Kavin, this chapter can not be ordered, tonight has been drawing the route map of Chang Yuchun's attack on Shangdu, and nothing has been written)

The loss of most of the capital is definitely a blow to Meng Yuan, and it is a big blow to the lord of a country, Emperor Zhizheng, who lived in a tent in Shangdu, herded horses and sheep, and wrote a long poem to relieve depression.

"My precious and magnificent capital, built of all kinds of treasures,

I live comfortably in the summer. Kaiping. O Kurdu City,

The summer camp of the ancient saints, the lost lama of my upper capital. Tara Yo,

In the year of Wushen, when everything was withered and yellowed,

I missed the great power by mistake!

……

My great capital city where Fu Lu gathered!

It was taken over by the Han Zhu Ge officials!

Infamy falls to me. Timur is on it! ”

Although this poem of Emperor Zhizheng does not have much gorgeous literary brilliance, it vividly expresses the reluctance and remorse for Dadu, and he is dreaming of returning to Beijing every night.

He was not idle in most of the country, first asked Wang Baobao to recover the capital, but Wang Baobao failed and finally avoided Ganshan. Emperor Zhizheng still did not give up, and sent the prime minister of Dayuan to recover the capital.

Ye Su is the one who guarded Zuo Cheng of Liaoyang Province in Zhigu, and immediately fled back to Liaodong with his men after hearing the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

On the way to Shangdu, Emperor Zhizheng lost a lot of baggage, cattle and sheep, and it became a problem to dress and eat when he arrived in Shangdu. Although the war was not very good, he was still a little loyal to the emperor, and hurriedly sent a lot of food and wealth to Emperor Zhizheng to enjoy.

In the face of such a loyal courtier, of course Emperor Zhizheng wanted to reward him, and immediately sealed him as the Zhongshu Zuocheng, and there were many prime ministers in Dayuan, and this one was not too much. Later, Emperor Zhizheng gave the title of King of Liang and the title of Prince Taibao, and his status was suddenly raised, and he immediately reciprocated and hurriedly led people to attack Dadu.

Most of them are not easy to fight, so they have to go to the wing barrier first, and they have to find a place to settle first, and they quickly locked their eyes on Tongzhou. Guarding Tongzhou was the Ming general Cao Liangchen, with only more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, and there was no way to defend in the face of Yesu's army, but he tried to spread banners on the banks of the Baihe River in the hope of scaring Yesu away.

Who knew that this prime minister of Dayuan was really fooled, and when he saw that there were not 100,000 people under such a banner, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away. When he ran back to his hometown, he came back to his senses, and he may have been fooled, so he immediately brought heavy troops into the customs to attack Dadu.

Lao Zhu was very annoyed with Emperor Zhizheng, who didn't know what to do, and decided not to let Emperor Zhizheng stay even if he received the fold. He immediately ordered Chang Yuchun to be the commander, leading 10,000 cavalry and 80,000 soldiers to the northern expedition to Shangdu, and at the same time dispatching 3,000 Shenji battalions to cooperate with Chang Yuchun to fight.

The Northern Expeditionary Army had just digested the newly occupied Shanxi and was preparing to move south into Tongguan to attack Ganshan. Xu Da received Lao Zhu's holy decree and immediately executed it, and asked Deng Yu to lead the 3,000 Shenji battalion to fight with Chang Yuchun.

Xu Da is very studious, he has learned all the subsets of scripture and history, and the tactics of the Shenji Battalion have long been thoroughly understood, and he can command it himself. Ma Du didn't do it, he had already planned to go to Shangdu to catch Emperor Zheng, how could he miss such an opportunity, he asked Xu Da for thousands of soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had the opportunity to grab it in his hands.

In the middle of May of the first year of Hongwu, Ma Du returned to Beiping with two musket battalions and an artillery battalion with the Chang Yuchun army. There are no fortified cities on the grassland, most of them are made of rammed earth, and their solidity cannot be compared with the famous Tongwan City, and even the Central Plains city of the same era cannot be compared, and one artillery battalion is enough.

Chang Yuchun was both excited and regretful about this campaign, and he often served as Xu Da's deputy when he went out, and he commanded an army of 100,000 and 200,000 at every turn. Although he is said to be the nominal deputy marshal, he plays the role of the vanguard army more often. To be able to lead a large army to attack the Tartar Emperor like he was now, he was inevitably excited.

The only thing that makes him regret is that his total strength this time is 93,500 people, which does not satisfy his desire to lead 100,000 soldiers and armor to dominate the world, and he is sorry for his reputation of 100,000.

As for the extra 500 people, of course, it was the old Zhu soldiers led by Qi Xiang, who were sent by Xu Da to be Ma Du's guard. They don't mind, they think it's much more interesting to fight than to fight Ganshan, after all, the Tartar Emperor is in Shangdu, if he can capture it alive, it will be a great achievement.

In addition to Qi Xiang's five hundred people, there is another person who is expected by Ma Du, that is Li Wenzhong, who was appointed by Lao Zhu as the partial general who was recruited to the capital this time, that is, the second-in-command.

Like Mu Ying, Li Wenzhong has long since reverted to his original surname, he followed Tang He to capture Fujian and then transported grain to the north, and was classified as a partial division on the south road to attack Wang Baobao with Tang He, but unfortunately he was frustrated in southern Jin and failed to join the main force in Taiyuan.

Since Fang Shan's farewell, Ma Du saw him for the second time, and the first thing he said when he saw Ma Du was, "I heard that you have a daughter, the girl is good, and ......she has grown up."

Ma Du hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, it's okay for Wen Ying to say such things, after all, he changed his surname." Although you have also changed your surname, we are still real relatives, let my daughter be your daughter-in-law, and the emperor will not be able to pass that hurdle. ”

Li Wenzhong hurriedly broke Ma Du's hand off, "Xuanzhong, you misunderstood, I mean that when you grow up, you can be the emperor's daughter-in-law." ”

"Oh, that's right!" Ma Du really didn't have any plans to let his daughter be Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law, there were too many royal rules for sleeping and dangerous, Ma Du smiled: "Siben, you are too big or small, you still called me Uncle Ma when I saw you last time." ”

Li Wenzhong smiled and said: "Originally, it didn't hurt to call you Uncle Ma next, but Wen Ying usually calls you characters, which makes me feel a generation shorter than Wen Ying, and I feel uncomfortable." In this way, we can call each other whatever we want when we get to the elders, and how do you and I call each other in private? ”

"Whatever you want." Ma Du nodded indifferently, Li Wenzhong had just turned thirty and had grown a lot of beard, and he called Uncle Ma Du and felt that he was calling himself old.

"Speaking of Wenying, I saw him in Linqing when I went north this time, this guy is really ashamed, he was planted on a rabbit. His Shenji battalion was the easiest to fight, and the Northern Expedition that was originally at his fingertips was gone. Li Wenzhong shook his head and sighed for Mu Ying.

Ma Du said: "Wenying's young ambition has been a lot in the past two years, and it's a good thing for him to suffer some setbacks, I just hope he won't become a cripple in the future." When you came to Linqing, did you see him training according to the prescription I gave him? ”

"Practice, Wen Ying still knows the severity, he knows that if he becomes a cripple, he will not be able to fight. Every day, he practiced hard according to the method you gave him, and said that when he finished practicing, he would come and chase us. ”

"That's good!" Ma Du nodded, his Zhu Wenying's worries were a little redundant, and he could fight like a cripple. In Central Asia, there is now a cripple who is conquering the surrounding powers with great force and building a powerful state.

Yesu is definitely a rabbit, and as soon as he heard that there were 100,000 troops returning to Beiping, he immediately slipped away. Chang Yuchun easily relieved the siege of Beiping, and prepared to rush out of the customs to chase after him.

Ma Du hurriedly dissuaded, is it to send death to the grassland without preparation? The 100,000 soldiers were basically southerners, fighting all the way from the south to the north, traveling thousands of miles, and fighting countless large and small battles.

Covered with wounds and wounds, not to mention, when you encounter mosquito epidemics on the grassland, the lack of adaptation to water and soil will cause unnecessary non-combat attrition, medicinal materials are naturally indispensable, and rations must be carefully prepared, especially Chang Yuchun himself is the most necessary to do a detailed physical examination.
