Thank you for the reward from the boy who returned and did not fall behind!

"Father, we're all going to leave the girls' school in the middle of this year." Zhu Shuyan said a little disappointed.

"Why do you want to continue studying?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"Father, I'm used to staying at school, and I don't know what to do when I leave school." Zhu Shuchang said.

"The girls' school is running to the ninth grade, your father has withstood a lot of pressure, if you add another three years, then when the students of the girls' school are studying, some of them may be married, in this way, the old scholars of the empire will have to be verbose, I can only do here, there are some things you need to fight for yourself." Zhu Youxiao said.

"What my father meant, I didn't understand, fight for it yourself? How? Zhu Shuyan asked.

"Maybe one day you'll understand." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Father, I want to go to Western medical school, is that okay?" Zhu Shuchang thought for a while and asked.

"Why do you want to go to Western medical school?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"In a school at the level of Taixue, only medical schools admit women, and if I don't go to Western medical school, I don't know where I'm going?" Zhu Shuchang replied.

"Your Majesty, Shuyan is fooling around, after finishing girls' school, she will get married in more than two years." Concubine Li hadn't entered the door yet, but the voice came in first, and when she heard Zhu Shuyan's words, she immediately objected.

"Shuyan, do you really want to go? Studying in Western medical school is bloody. Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.

"Hmm." Zhu Shuchang nodded firmly.

"Okay, I'll agree with you to go, don't come back crying when the time comes." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Shuchang said happily.

"Your Majesty, you are too fond of your sister-in-law...... " Li Guifei said.

"I have my own measure, and it's always good to read more." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

On April 8, Man Gui marched 20,000 troops out of Shabaktu to Kulen, the most elite army of the Empire, and 3,000 of them were armed with Apocalypse Spears, which were also used on a large scale on the battlefield. The remaining 17,000 were battle-hardened dragoons.

On April 9, Zu Dashou led an army of 30,000 troops out of the Unigt Mountains to march towards the Khulun River, and on the same day, You Shiwei led an army of 20,000 troops on the border of Chechen Khan.

Mangui's army was the fastest, and by April 11 it had entered Kutule Dolan. The main task of Zu Dashou's army at present is to drag down the army of Chechen Khan and force Chechen Khan to be unable to rescue Tushetu, while You Shiwei is stationing troops on the border, and his purpose is to break the connection between the Jurchens and Chechen Khan.

"Hala, how long do we have to get to the Sulu Sea?" Man Gui's army has entered the Gobi Desert at this moment, and for Man Gui's army, the biggest test of this Northern Expedition is the natural environment.

"My lord, there is still half a day to get out of this Gobi." Hara replied.

"How long have you been in Tushetu?" Man Gui asked.

"The villain joined the East Factory four years ago, and after training in the East Factory for a period of time, he was sent to Tuxietu, and it has been more than three years until today." Hara replied.

"In the past three years, how many times have you walked this Gobi?" Man Gui asked.

"I've walked through it hundreds of times, and the villain can walk out of this Gobi with his eyes closed." Hara said.

"After this time, I'm afraid you're going to be promoted." Man Gui said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Jiyan!" Harash said.

……

Tushetu was able to mobilize an army of nearly 50,000, of which 30,000 were elites, but Tushetu Khan Gunbu understood that his biggest advantage was the endless Gobi Desert, and water supply was the most difficult thing for the army, so he adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and he withdrew all the herdsmen south of the Khan Mountains to the north, in this land, the most difficult thing to deal with was not people, but the natural environment.

As early as after the establishment of Inner Mongolia Province, Zhu Youxiao asked Dongchang to train a large number of fans in Khalkha Mongolia, in addition to spying on intelligence, one of the roles of these fans is to be familiar with the route and lead the way for the army in the future. If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's plan for the Northern Expedition to Khalkha Mongolia several years in advance, it would have been difficult for Mangui's army to cross this endless Gobi.

Gunbu withdrew all his army to the Khan Mountains of Kulen, where he prepared to rest and stop the Ming army.

"My lord, this is the Sulu Sea, the villain just went to see it, and the water source is polluted." Hara said.

"The dog entered the guncloth, and actually used a trick to send the military doctor to check and see if there was a way to get water? And the whole army rests on the spot, and it is strictly forbidden to fetch water, and if anyone gets sick by drinking water indiscriminately, I will leave him here and leave him to fend for himself. Man Gui ordered.

"No."

"Rest on the spot, it is strictly forbidden to take water at will......" Man Gui's order immediately sounded in the barracks.

……

As soon as the incense was burned, the military doctor returned, "My lord, the northern captives have discarded the corpses of several cattle and sheep in the water source, but the corpses have just begun to decompose......

"I just want to know if I can drink it?" Man Gui asked impatiently.

"Bring the water to a boil, let it cool and then drink." The medic replied immediately and succinctly.

"Boil water and drink it! One of the regulations in the military. Man Gui said.

"Be sure to boil the water." The military doctor admonished.

"Understood." Man Gui said, "The whole army must boil the water before drinking, camp on the spot today, and set off at three o'clock tomorrow." ”

……

Dolgon also received a request for help from the Chechen Khan Shuo Lei, who originally wanted to use the Khalkha Mongols to advance westward, and now if the Khalkha Mongols are lost, it means that his planned westward expansion has been cut off.

"Now the army of Ming thieves is attacking Khalkha Mongolia in three ways, and the east road is the 20,000 army led by You Shiwei, but the 20,000 army has been stationed in Kuleng Lake, and has not moved forward for several days, it seems that the army on the east road wants to cut off the connection between our army and the Chechen Khan." Dorgon said.

"If the Ming army occupies the Khalkha Mongols, if we want to go west, we must make a detour through Xipol, which is sparsely populated and extremely difficult to supply, and the difficulty of advancing westward will increase several times." Feyangu said. After Huang Taiji was beheaded by Zhu Youxiao, Feiyangu always wanted to marry Hai Lanzhu, but Hai Lanzhu resolutely disagreed, and now the strength of the Manchu Qing is only slightly stronger than Horqin, Hai Lanzhu has his back to Horqin, and Feiyangu has not been able to get his wish.

"How about a detour to Tarichi and then into Chechnya?" Hauge asked.

"If you make a detour to Tarichi, our army has not yet entered Chechnya, and the war is over." Dorgon said, glancing at Hauge.

"Do you want to watch the Ming army seize Khalkha Mongolia?" Hauge asked.
