Chapter 184: Recovering Hami
Zhu Youzhu was sitting on his horse and smiling at her.
She urged her horse forward, and as soon as she arrived at Zhu Youzhang's side, the figure in front of her flickered, and she was already on Zhu Youzhang's horseback and was held in his arms.
She asked suspiciously, "Why is the emperor here?" ”
"I heard Xiao Jing say that you came to deliver meals, but after listening to my conversation with the generals, I left in a hurry, and then left the city alone. I expected that you must have come to the Tatar camp for the purpose of making peace. ”
Zhang Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness: "Then why didn't the emperor rush into the barracks to dignitaries?" ”
"My wife must have a reason for doing this, and I respect her decision."
"But you're worried about me, so you're waiting for me at Taniguchi."
Zhu Youzhu tapped her eyebrows: "You! ”
Zhang Yue shyly touched his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, I succeeded, and Meng Ke agreed to negotiate peace." ”
The corners of Zhu Youzhang's mouth rose slightly, "I have guessed." ”
"How did the emperor guess?"
"I won't tell you!"
Zhang Yue squirmed, "Isn't the emperor angry with me?" ”
"How so? I also hope to make peace with the Tatars! ”
"Is it because of my teenage relationship with Munch?"
Zhu Youzhu shook his head, "Soldiers, the country's major affairs." How can the military decisions of the country be changed because of the relationship between the two of you in your childhood? The Mongols are now fragmented, and it takes one person to contain the other tribes in order to make the Ming border safe. Dayan Khan was the most suitable candidate. Therefore, this time the Tatars cannot be completely destroyed, and Munch cannot die. Munch has always been conceited, and if he is forced to comply, he will not be able to do so. The Ming Dynasty took the initiative to negotiate peace and not only saved his face, but the Tatars were also greatly damaged by this war, and the Ming border was worry-free for at least ten years, which was the purpose of this war that I wanted. ”
Zhang Yue wrote a big word in his heart, and his face deliberately made a small temperament, "Aren't you afraid that he will detain me as a hostage?" ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhu Youjiao's eyes, "He can try the consequences of doing this." ”
Zhang Yue stuck out his tongue and said nothing. Zhu Youzhu waved his hand, and the Ming army escorted the two back to Fuyuan City.
The next day, Dayan Khan sent people to discuss peace. After a day of negotiations, the two sides signed a peace agreement.
The Ming Dynasty then lifted the siege of Luoying Valley. Dayan Khan retreated to Tatar with the remnants of his men.
After the Tatars retreated, only Turpan Khan's eldest son, Mansuer, led some men and horses to defend most of Hami's cities.
Zhu Youzhang's troops were divided into two routes, with Wang Yue as the main general of the left army, leading the elite of the Ming army to recover Hami from the west, and Shaanxi Ba as the main general of the right army, leading the Guangfu army to recover Hami from the east.
The Ming soldiers had just defeated the Tatars, and their morale was high, and they were like bamboos all the way. In less than ten days, most of the city of Hami was recovered, and the two armies met victoriously outside the city of Hami.
Turpan Khan's eldest son, Man Su'er, was so frightened that he hurriedly proposed peace to Zhu Youjiao, who sent a letter asking for guilt and Turpan, listing the crimes committed by Turpan in invading Hami, and ordering him to withdraw from Hami within three days, return all the occupied cities, and release all the enslaved Hami people.
Man Su'er was so frightened that he hurriedly wrote a confession, and according to Da Ming's request, he withdrew from Hami with his subordinates. So far, the entire territory of Hami has been recovered.

Hami Royal City, in the main hall of the Zhongshun Palace.
Zhu Youzhu wore a black gauze winged crown, and wore an ochre-yellow twelve-regimental dragon twelve-chapter gown, sitting on the throne in the hall.
Standing in two rows in the hall were the Ming Dynasty generals and the surviving nobles and ministers under the Hami Yuan Zhongshun King. Because of the meritorious work in the recovery of Hami, and the commander of the Hami Guard, who was previously awarded the title of Zhengsanpin, by the emperor, his identity is naturally different from that of the previous palace guards, and he is also listed among the old ministers of Hami.
After a fifty-year-old man led by the nobles of Hami respectfully saluted the emperor, he said: "The minister thanks His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for helping Hami expel foreign enemies and return Hami to peace......
This person kept saying some words of praise for virtue.
“...... The country cannot be without a king for a day, and although Hami is small, it also needs someone in charge. The old Zhongshun King is the only one left in the line of Guli County Lord. It's a pity that the lord of Guli is not a man and cannot inherit the throne. The minister suggested that a talented and famous man should be selected from among the Hami nobles to be the loyal king. ”
Next to Guli pursed her lips lightly, and for words.
Zhu Youjiao's face could not see joy and anger, and a majestic voice came: "Hami has gone through the war, and it is indeed in urgent need of a new king to govern this land. I believe that this person must meet two conditions, one is that he must be a member of the Hami royal family, and the other is that he must have made great contributions to the recovery of Hami. ”
The old minister of Hami said with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty Emperor Qiming, there is no such person in Hami at present." ”
Zhu Youzhu said slowly: "Yes." I think Shaanba is a good fit. ”
There was a commotion among the old ministers of Hami. Shaanba and Gu Li looked at each other, both of them in surprise.
After a while, the old minister of Hami said cautiously: "Emperor Qiqi, this time to recover Hami, Shaanba has indeed contributed a lot, but he is not a member of the Hami royal family, he ..... He was only the son of a lowly servant. ”
A hint of complexity flashed in Shaanba's eyes.
Zhu Youzhu smiled: "If Shaanba marries the county lord of Guli and becomes a county horse, he will naturally belong to the royal family." ”
The people in the palace, including Shaanba, were all stunned, and the old ministers of Hami looked at Gu Li one after another.
Gu Li reacted quickly, her eyes were full of joy, and she fell to her knees: "Gu Li is willing to marry General Shaanba, the great hero who recovered Hami, as his wife." ”
Shaanba still stood aside and looked at Gu Li stupidly. Mu Bin, one of the other generals of the Ming army, reminded in a low voice: "General Shaanba still doesn't thank the emperor. ”
Shaanba woke up like a dream, knelt down and kowtowed three heads: "Shaanba bows to thank the emperor for the marriage, Shaanba is willing to protect Hami for the emperor in this life, and the people of Hami will be loyal to the Ming Emperor forever." Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live, long live! ”
The rest of the people in the hall knelt on the ground one after another, echoing the mountain shouting long live......
———————————————————
Zhang Yue heard in the apse of the palace that Shaanba had become the new king of Hami Zhongshun, and the emperor gave him and Gu Li a marriage, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
She hurried to Guli to congratulate her. Gu Li naturally and solemnly invited Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue to attend their wedding. Zhang Yue happily agreed.
Because Hami has just been baptized by war, everything is waiting to be rebuilt. In addition, the Ming Emperor was anxious to return to the dynasty, so the wedding of the new Zhongshun King and the lord of Guli was very simple, and the wedding was scheduled for seven days later.
During this period, Zhang Yue was even happier than her own marriage, and she helped Gu Li plan the wedding with high emotions. Zhu Youzhu looked at his wife's excited actions, and felt funny in his heart, but he didn't stop it.
Finally, it was the day of Shaanba and Guli's wedding.
Gu Li was dressed in a bridal dress with Hami characteristics, and she was dressed very gorgeously. Shaanba wore the royal robe of King Hami Zhongshun and stood by Gu Li's side heroically. The two looked at each other, affectionate.
