Chapter 697: Hu Ye's Abnormality
I have to say that statistics is a very boring and boring work, and the statistics of 120,000 people are definitely a huge project.
Hu Ye and Zhang Fu worked hard all night, but they hadn't managed thousands of people yet, and soon after, Zhang Yu also walked in, and he didn't know what this thing was doing outside, and when he came in, his eyes were a little red. He himself argued that it was the wind blowing the sand into his eyes, but everyone knew that he was telling the pain in his heart to the moon.
The three of them were busy until dawn, and they didn't make much.
In fact, Hu Ye and Zhang Fu also knew that this was not to find out everyone's information, but to ask for peace of mind, to be worthy of the 120,000 people who died, and they couldn't wait for their deaths to become fragmented from now on.
The sun rose, and the rest of the people stretched, and the three of them stretched, but they were sleepy.
Yesterday it had been decided that before Zhu Di's will arrived, Zhang Yu was to lead a large army north, transiting Tatar and Warat.
So at dawn on this day, the tens of thousands of troops brought by Song Sheng followed Zhang Yu's army north.
As for the route, Zhang Yu had already planned it, starting from Hami, going north to the Jinshan Mountains, and then directly to Kobdo, where there should be a Tatar garrison, but certainly not much.
Then it went west, to the Altai Mountains, then to Hobokseri, where there was the garrison of Vala, and then to Beshbali, where the capital of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, by the way, was now taken back and entrusted to the garrison of Hamiwei.
If you can, you can also set up a guard post here, which will be a springboard for future attacks on the Timurid Empire.
The battlefield ahead is changing rapidly, and all Nanjing can do is wait patiently.
However, after the heavy snow stopped, the news spread quickly, and it could reach Nanjing in one day and one night.
So when Zhang Yu and the others walked out of Hami City, they got a military report that Song Sheng's army had arrived in Guazhou. And Zhang Yu's army has gone after Harry Sultan.
"Okay, the whole army has been dispatched, and it has finally fought a beautiful battle!"
When Zhu Di saw the military report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because either there was no military report before, or the army was still trapped in Hami.
Although this time did not explain the situation after Zhang Yu went out, but finally had contact, Zhu Di is very confident in his army, after two years of development, the appearance of the army has been greatly improved. It's not like when Zhu Yunwen was in the time, the situation of eating empty salaries was too strict.
"We still have 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yunnan, if Hu Slag dares to mess around again, let Mu Sheng beat and beat." Zhu Di said casually.
In fact, Annan used to belong to the land of the Tang Dynasty, but after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, no one had jurisdiction over Annan, so it deviated more and more.
Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was in the time, Annan bowed down to the Ming Dynasty, but this time the scumbag usurped the throne. Want to completely get rid of the influence of the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for Harry's attack this time, Zhu Di would have wanted to directly level Annan and then take it back.
However, Zhu Di also knows that Annan is not a good place. The mountains and forests over there are almost the same as Lingnan, and the army can't be used when it goes, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Wait until Zhang Yu and the others come back.
"Your Majesty, there is not much grain left in the treasury."
Xiao Yingzi whispered to remind Zhu Di that this time he mobilized an army of 350,000. The grain and grass in the treasury have almost been exhausted. If Yunnan's 50,000 troops are allowed to do it again, I am afraid that the treasury will soon be unable to carry it.
Although there is a lot of money in the treasury now, this is what Zhu Di asked for when he went to the mysterious old man, but money is not omnipotent, and sometimes money can't buy food.
"Grain and grass! Grain and grass! ”
Zhu Di hit the table with a fist, originally he thought that after two years of development, the Ming Dynasty had almost developed, and there was no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass. Unexpectedly, a war of 350,000 people was launched, and it had not lasted for a year, and it was already a little unbearable.
"By the way, how long has Zheng He been at sea, has there been any news recently?" Zhu Di asked suddenly.
"It's been ten months, and there hasn't been any news at all." Xiao Yingzi replied truthfully.
"Ten months, it's time to come back!"
Zhu Di touched the dragon chair, and he was thinking about two things now, one was that Zhang Yu successfully annihilated Harry Sultan, and the other was that Zheng He returned with a full load.
"Pass the order, the entire coastal zone will pay close attention to me, and as soon as there is news of Zheng He's fleet, report it immediately, whether it is good or bad!" Zhu Di said loudly.
"Yes!" Xiao Yingzi walked out.
After Xiaoyingzi went out, Zhu Di also stood up, walked out of the Fengtian Palace, and came to Xu Miaoyin's bedroom.
It turned out that just two days ago, Xu Miaoyin suddenly fell ill, and she looked very sick.
"The Emperor's ......"
As soon as Zhu Di entered the door, those palace maids came to salute, but Zhu Di stopped him, waved his hand, and those palace maids walked out.
"Father."
Zhu Zhizhi also came over, and she has been by her side since Xu Miaoyin was sick the day before yesterday.
As for her life experience, Zhu Zhizhi didn't tell Zhu Di, because her mother warned her before leaving, don't spread the news of her mother, otherwise she will cause trouble.
So now Xu Miaoyin and Zhu Di still think that her mother has died a long time ago.
"Wisdom, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Di smiled at Zhu Zhizhi, this daughter is not bad, very caring, not as naughty as Xianning, but more lively than An Cheng.
"That's what a daughter should do."
Zhu Zhizhi's face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment.
To be honest, she didn't know what a princess was before, but this time she was named a princess, and she thought she was just a little more beautiful than others. I didn't expect it to become a place that everyone admired, and many people had to salute when they saw her, and they had to bow down, so they were not used to it.
"Okay, you can go back to the academy tomorrow to have a look, otherwise Chu Cheng will go crazy." Zhu Di smiled.
"Father's ......"
was teased by Zhu Di, Zhu Zhizhi's face turned even redder, and he ran out without saying a word.
"This girl ......"
Zhu Di sighed, and then came to Xu Miaoyin's bed.
"You're not too young, so don't make fun of others." Xu Miaoyin's face was a little pale, and she whispered.
"Don't get up, you better lie down."
Zhu Di sat down and took Xu Miaoyin's hand, he knew that in the past two years, Xu Miaoyin's credit for his rule has been so stable.
So when he saw Xu Miaoyin fall ill again, he naturally felt a little guilty.
"The emperor is worried." Xu Miaoyin said with some embarrassment.
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Di carried a hint of blame, and then said, "Don't worry, Zheng He went to the Sun God Kingdom this time, he should be able to find good things, and he will definitely be able to cure your illness when the time comes." ”
Xu Miaoyin just smiled indifferently when she heard this, her body, she naturally knew better than anyone else.
"Your Majesty, when will the wise marriage be done, I'm afraid I won't be able to last that day." Xu Miaoyin said to Zhu Di a little weakly.
"Talking nonsense."
Zhu Di felt a pain in his heart, originally in his early years, Hu Ye's medicine still had some effect on Xu Miaoyin. But then with the beginning of the Battle of Jingjing, Xu Miaoyin's workload has been rising, and it has not stopped since.
"But this matter is supposed to be done, and the wisdom will be eighteen, and it will be a little too late if you don't marry. It's just that the people I sent to the Valley of the Gods never came back, and I'm worried about the origin of the Prince. ”
"Didn't Hu Ye go in person? He is naturally clear about the situation there, and if there is a problem, he will naturally tell you. Since he didn't say it, it means that there is no problem. As long as they are in love, let them be together. Xu Miaoyin held Zhu Di's hand tightly, although Zhu Zhizhi was not his own daughter, but in the past year, he has regarded Zhu Zhizhi as his own daughter.
"When I asked him, he was still hesitant, and there must have been something he didn't want me to know." Zhu Di touched his nose, looking very dissatisfied with Hu Ye.
"Ahh
The sun was shining, and Hu Ye suddenly sneezed.
"Who's thinking about me?" Hu Ye rubbed his nose.
"Haha, you're a kid, who would miss you." Zhu Neng smiled.
Hu Ye glanced at Zhu Neng, this product was purely to find fault, and he didn't bother to quarrel with Zhu Neng.
"The front is to Kobdo, where you should be able to meet the Tatar army, just shock it, don't stay longer."
Zhang Yu didn't care about the words of the two, but looked at the front and said Don't look at it Now Zhang Yu only has one arm and rides a horse, but he is not ambiguous at all.
"Report! A village was found in front of it, but it had been slaughtered. ”
At that moment, the scout in front came to report.
"A village was slaughtered?"
Zhang Yu frowned, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as Tucun on the first day he came out.
"Let's go, go up and have a look."
Zhang Yu gave an order, and everyone walked up.
As soon as I entered the village, there was a bloody breath, and the entrance of the village was full of corpses.
It's a village, but it's just a relatively concentrated camp. After all, Mongolians live as nomads, and there is not much time to settle down.
"This is the border between Warat and Tatar, and there are wars all year round, and you may know which side killed them." Zhang Yu stood up, he didn't bother to care who died, as long as it was not the people of the Ming Dynasty who died, he would not go to someone to avenge them.
"Yezi, what's wrong with you? Your body is shaking, are you cold? ”
Zhang Fu pushed Hu Ye, because he found that Hu Ye's body was trembling a little, and his fists were also pinched.
Xiao Qiang also walked around the crowd, sniffed with his nose, and then returned to Hu Ye's side and called out in an unusual voice.
"It's okay, maybe it's because it's cold."
Hu Ye loosened his fist, and then said to Zhang Fu.
"It's cold? It's the sun today, why haven't I seen you like this before? ”
Zhang Fu said to Hu Ye curiously, but Hu Ye didn't mean to explain to Zhang Fu. (To be continued......)
