Zhu Shangbing feels that his current life is not good at all.

The decisive battle of the Northern Expedition had ended more than a month ago, and it stands to reason that all the armies should return to the pass as a squad division, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison various key points in the grassland to facilitate the next city building plan.

But God knows what happened to the fourth uncle.

These days, like crazy, the children of the meritorious families in the Northern Expeditionary Army are all pulled together.

Every day, I don't look at the sky and train on the grassland.

If it's just training, Zhu Shangbing can still accept it.

But the key is that the fourth uncle actually said that he wanted to study the new tactics to be used in the army in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and their exploits and the targets of the public will inevitably be the leading figures in the army in the future, so they will naturally be the first to master.

That's it, Zhu Shangbing still won't say anything.

The most important thing is that the fourth uncle's most important new tactics are the coordination of artillery and infantry and artillery and cavalry.

Every day, those hundreds of artillery pieces flew almost close to their scalps.

If it weren't for the artillerymen of the firearms battalion who had made the attack a little farther away, Zhu Shangbing swore that just this period of training would have caused heavy casualties.

So much so that now, even if Zhu Shangbing is asleep, whenever he hears a slightly louder movement, he can wake up from his sleep.

Poof.

Zhu Shangbing, who had just finished today's training, jumped off the horse with his buttocks between his legs, and lay down heavily on the grass, tilting his head to look at Chang Jizu who was also lying on the ground beside him.

"You say, what's going on with the fourth uncle?"

Chang Jizu's hands pressed on the inner thighs, grinning and rubbing gently.

After a long period of horseback riding, no matter how good their riding skills are, these legs will not be able to stand it after all.

So much so that now in the army, there are unlucky people everywhere who walk with their butts and legs open.

Every time they passed in front of a group of veteran generals such as Liangguo Gong Lanyu and Yingguo Gong Fu Youde, they would receive a large wave of ridicule.

Chang Jizu sighed deeply, with sadness on his face: "I think His Royal Highness King Yan is stimulated. ”

Zhu Shangbing's eyes were blank and he lay on the clouds running overhead.

On the other side of Chang Jizu, there is a child of the Zhongxun family on the other side.

Hearing Chang Jizu say this, he immediately became interested.

The man was still lying on the ground, but he turned sideways and propped his head with the palms of his hands.

"What has His Royal Highness King Yan been stimulated by?"

Chang Jizu tilted his head and smiled bitterly: "You haven't come back to it, this time the decisive battle of Hulun Lake in Hairaer ended too quickly?" Our army is now increasingly reliant on artillery and firearms. I think that King Yan didn't catch the opportunity to lead people to charge into battle and fight with the enemy, so he was stimulated. ”

"Woohoo!"

Zhu Shangbing let out a long sigh.

Chang Jizu continued: "King Yan probably also thinks that the future wars may be more and more different from before. Who is he? The person who likes to take the lead in the charge among the kings of the clan, if he does not master the new tactics now, how can you let His Royal Highness King Yan lead his soldiers to kill the enemy in the future? ”

"So we're unlucky?"

The meritorious disciple muttered with a sad face.

Zhu Shangbing shouted viciously: "Help me up, Lao Tzu has to find those bastards in the firearms camp today!" The artillery is getting lower and lower day by day, are these bastards trying to bombard us? ”

"Don't worry." Chang Jizu muttered and explained: "According to my estimates, the firearms battalion is just to use up the shells brought out this time. We had never found a chance to fight the Tatars before, and the shells we brought were only used on the Hulun Lake, and when we ran out recently, we would no longer be like this. ”

Zhu Shangbing's body just straightened up and lay down heavily.

"I hope that the imperial court will come to a decree and quickly recall the fourth uncle back to Jingshi."

……

However, Zhu Shangbing's good hopes are destined to be dashed.

Now there is a two-story building in Daqingcheng, and the heat of construction has not fallen.

As Daqingcheng became higher and higher, the number of court officials and scouts came and went.

It can be seen with the naked eye that Daqingcheng will become an important town to remote control the entire grassland to the north.

A road across Daqing Mountain is constantly being widened with the daily roar of artillery fire.

"The Ministry of Industry is taking people to test the feasibility of the railway passing on the grassland."

Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands together, and hid several copies of the latest music in his sleeves.

Zhu Yunxi took a few people and walked on the meadow in the north direction of Daqingcheng, looking at Daqingshan covered with smoke and dust.

"I heard that their current plan is to build a gravel road first, and then experiment with cement roads and railways?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Whether it is a cement road or a railway, a solid roadbed is needed, and a gravel road is the best choice." Doing so now will also make it easier to improve the road in the future. ”

Zhu Yunxi snorted, raised his head and said, "The army is slowly retreating to the pass, and now there is any news ahead." ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately took out a piece of music from his sleeve.

"The Western Route Army is continuing to march westward, preparing to occupy the territory of the Warat Department, and then part of the soldiers will be stationed in the western grassland, and some will return to the Guannai from the west, and will be stationed in the Hexi area to rest, waiting for the rotation of soldiers from the imperial court to go immediately, and then withdraw to their original places."

"The Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army are withdrawing according to the plan, leaving only some soldiers and horses to garrison the grassland key areas."

"The Duke of Liangguo invites the imperial court and the Beihai line to set up a border guard fort to make the situation of my Ming Dynasty covering the grassland."

"The Liaodong Metropolitan Division also sent a letter of inquiry, whether to send troops out of the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains, or to stick to the area south of the mountain range."

A few things related to the outside of the customs came out of Zhu Gaochi's mouth.

Now the king of Shun'an, who has changed his name to Zhu'an, followed behind the two, quietly listening to the conversation between the two, silently thinking about the pattern on the grassland in the future.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said: "Although there are not a few large-scale battles in the Northern Expedition this time, the soldiers have been out for a long time, and they still rotate the soldiers on the front line as much as possible. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "This matter is already being done, and it is estimated that it will be before the end of the year to rotate all the soldiers on the front line." ”

After mastering the time node, Zhu Yunxi said again: "The grassland has been taken down, and the rest is a matter of governance." Tie Xuan wants to be a lonely minister, so let him do things on the grassland first. Send a message to him, let him deal with the post-war affairs as soon as possible, and rush to Daqingcheng to sit in the Beikong grassland. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Yunxi continued: "The matter requested by the Duke of Liangguo will be approved. However, since he brought up this matter, and he heard that he had carved the words "Come here" on the cliff face on the north coast, then he would take someone to take charge of this matter.

I want to take the soldiers of my dynasty to be familiar with the environment of the grassland and even the Beihai, and the construction of the border fortress can come step by step, as long as it takes a little more time, the grassland can eventually become the grassland of my Ming family.

As for the letter of inquiry from the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, he replied to the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander Xie Ba, asking him to prepare for the Liaodong Metropolitan Division to be changed to Liaodong Dao. Once this matter starts, he can go to be the commander of the Northeast Nuer Gandu Division.

The area outside the Great Khing'an Mountains refers to the appearance of today's Northeast Nuergan. You can't get fat by eating one bite, and you have to do things step by step. ”

At this time, Zhu An (King of Shun'an, Ab Zhiyi) raised his head.

There are some expressions that want to speak and stop.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu An sideways, and asked with a smile, "What does King Shun'an know?" ”

Zhu An immediately bowed slightly and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard a matter from the herdsmen who went south to Daqingcheng recently." ”

Message from the herders?

Zhu Yunxi also stopped and asked, "What is it?" ”

Zhu An bowed again: "Back to Your Highness, in fact, the herdsmen heard about it." They heard that the people from the northeast Nuergan seemed to have begun to migrate north. ”

"Migrating north?"

Zhu Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly.

In today's Xiaoice River, when the temperature continues to drop, the north is even colder than before.

Are people from the northeast going to the Siberian region?

Juan nodded and said, "It's to migrate north, but it's not to settle in the far north." According to the herders, there seems to be a strait in the northeast corner of the far north, which used to be cut off by the sea, and the waves were higher than the mountains. But now it seems that the sea is frozen, and you only need to walk east for a few days to reach the other side. ”

Bering Strait!

In an instant, Zhu Yunxi understood what Zhu An was talking about.

His eyes couldn't help but show a glimmer of light.

Zhu An naturally noticed it, did not dare to delay, and continued: "According to what the herdsmen have heard, it seems that they are going to pass through the frozen strait to the opposite side, and there is a piece of land that is not smaller than the Central Plains. As long as they continue all the way south, it is a fertile land. ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly: "What are they going to do?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi's face immediately showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The reason why the people in the Nuergan area in the northeast moved north was actually because of the offensive posture that the Ming Dynasty was now adopting in the area north of Liaodong.

The Northeast can't stay anymore, and the Far North is exceptionally cold.

Most of them didn't know where they had heard the rumors, so they tried to see if they could cross the rumored frozen strait and find a new place to settle on the other side.

Zhu Yunxi showed a smile of unknown meaning, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled by his eyes.

I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Do you want Xie Ba to send troops and stop those people? ”

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, and then said, "Have you ever heard about the remnants of Yin Shang?" ”

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed, as if he had fallen into a huge memory search.

After a long time, his body trembled.

Then his eyes widened and he raised his head to look at Zhu Yunxi.

"Yin people go east?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "After the rumors, 20,000 miles across the sea to the east, there is a land that seems to be like the Central Plains. After Muye, there were Yin people who fled north, but whether it was true or not, no one could give an accurate one over the years. ”

Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows.

Obviously, he had sorted out the memories in his head.

"The fifty-fourth volume of the Book of Liang is the biography of Dongyi: Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Kingdom, and it is located in the east of China, and its soil is full of Fusang wood, so it is named."

"The sixteenth year of the Spring and Autumn Period records that the six eagles retreated and flew over the Song capital. Du pre-note: 'Eagles, water birds, fly high and retreat in the wind. 'Historical records of the Song Weizi family: 'The six eagles retreated, and the wind was sick. ’”

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, and his tone was slow: "These are all records about the east of the East China Sea. If the Yin people really fled eastward, they must have gone to these places. ”

Juan blinked.

He understands all the words that Yan Shizi said, but when they are combined, they become completely unfamiliar to him.

He sighed silently in his heart, Yan Shizi's huge knowledge reserve.

Zhu Yunxi was smiling.

As a disciple of the Ming Sect, he doesn't just learn the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, there is only one person like Chubby's memory and reading width.

"So, on the other side of the sea, there is indeed a new and unfamiliar land."

Zhu Yunxi said lightly.

"A place of legend." Zhu Gaochi also sighed, and then immediately looked up at Zhu Yunxi, he hesitated a little and said, "Do you want to go and see?!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi immediately shook his head again.

He seemed to take care of himself and said, "You don't have a chance to go there, now that the war is calm, you should go back to Beijing." But you must send someone over to see it with your own eyes, according to what you said before, if there is really such a good place, I have no reason to abandon it.

In addition, over the years, my dealings with the outside world of the Ming Dynasty now know that there is almost no big country except for a Europa in the west. It is Europa, just like the ancient pre-Qin, the countries are chaotic and the national strength is weak. ”

Daming is the largest and strongest country in the world today.

This is clearly understood in the DPRK and China.

Even if the power of the Ming Dynasty is still limited to the surrounding area, it does not prevent the intelligent Ming people from exploring and understanding this world.

When Fan Worm returned to China, the imperial court gave a lot of things, but he didn't give a single book.

This is an unprecedented level of unity between the DPRK and China.

Books of the Ming Dynasty are strictly forbidden to go out.

No one would be stupid enough to use the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty to arm a region and forces that are still weak.

Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "At least go and see." ”

"Who to send?"

Zhu Gaochi asked a very crucial question.

Although during the Qin Dynasty, there was a legend about Xu Fu going to sea and cultivating a Wa kingdom, no one could give a real answer.

But what if it's true?

If there is now a group of Ming people who cross east to the land across the sea, and then find that it is similar to the Central Plains, and settle there, then how will the Ming Dynasty deal with it at that time.

I thought about it over and over again.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes gradually widened.

"You don't want him to go, do you?"

Zhu Gaochi thought about it, and Zhu Shangbing, who is still on the grassland now, is the most suitable candidate.

As long as you give him all the soldiers and horses, you can go all the way to the north, find the frozen strait, and then take a closer look at the opposite side instead of the imperial court.

"He's not reliable." Zhu Yunxi gave an evaluation on the spot.

Zhu Gaochi immediately calmed down.

Then, he showed a curious gaze, wondering who would be chosen to cross the sea in Zhu Yunxi's heart.

Zhu Yunxi didn't have an appetite, and quickly spoke.

"Sun Cheng is still in the Northern Expeditionary Army with Brother Wei'er."
