Chapter 445: Tower City
"How does this car move?" Ibrahim was curious.
"I heard that they are moved by technology, and technology should be a kind of magical power for them, but I don't know the specifics. Now they have an academy of sciences and several universities that specialize in science and technology. 「
"Is the university their college?"
"Yes, but it's not a Ming person, and the university doesn't accept it." The man was afraid that Ibrahim would make some strange request, so he blocked what Ibrahim was about to say in one sentence.
"It's probably similar to the Aveish dynasty, and their country is also implementing technology. They have advanced artillery, advanced weapons, and advanced transportation."
Almost instantly, a thought crossed Ibrahim's mind.
When there are two tigers on the left and one on the right, eyeing the fat sheep in front of them, why not let the two tigers fight, if both are lost, the fat sheep has room to operate.
Ibrahim stayed in the capital for a few days, and the longer he was, the more frightened he became, and he felt that he should return home sooner and tell the Great Khan what he had discovered.
Until one day, he heard that the noble generals in the capital would rush to Tacheng, and he was immediately shocked.
Ibrahim's heart couldn't help but become vigilant, why did the generals run to the border city? What is Da Ming going to do?
Ibrahim couldn't wait to embark on the road back to China, this time, he planned to go from Tacheng, before returning to China, to inquire about the reality of the Ming military defense.
When he was taking the train from the capital to the west, the interpreter told him that there were people on the train talking about it, and several countries had gathered troops to capture the Ming Dynasty.
"I really don't know whether I live or die, and I dare to come and beat my Daming!"
"Hmph, I'm tired of being crooked, and I don't know if the imperial court will recruit soldiers, if it's a conscription, I'll be the first to sign up."
"Alas, in the past, it was a good man who was not a soldier, but now he is a good man who is a soldier, what do you say about our Daming, I don't want me to serve the country anymore."
"Heh, I don't know a single big word, I don't know how to shoot with a gun, what do you want you to do?"
Ibrahim was shocked to hear the news that his country was under siege, and these people did not panic at all, but joked.
Zhu Gaoxian accompanied his father and mother to patrol along the northwest line by a special train, and on the table by the window, there was a cup of hand-ground coffee, steaming, and a rich fragrance wafted to his nose in the wind.
Xu and Zhu Di sat on the rocking chair on the side, swaying, chatting, while looking at the scenery outside the window, the Loess Plateau is endless, on a hill, a few poplar trees whistling past the window, several villages are scattered, and the young man carrying the water is swaying on his shoulder, and he seems to be able to hear the creaking.
Prosperous, but that's it!
"The concubine has followed the emperor to many places over the years, seen the beautiful scenery of the world, and seen all the red dust and fireworks, Xu is vision has broadened, although she is getting older and older year by year, but this spirit is getting better and better."
Zhu Di reached out and grabbed Xu's hand and rubbed it gently, "That's good, this is exactly what I wanted. The Queen's health is more important to me than anything else. This time, since we have come out, we will take a walk around these border cities in the northwest to see different characters and taste different flavors."
Anyway, there is time, and this line of work is no longer in a hurry, but slows down, slowly, and plays while walking.
When Zhu Di walked to Jinchang City, Mu Sheng rushed over, because he heard that there was a queen in this line, and his grandson and granddaughter also came, so Mu Sheng brought his wife Cheng as well, and Xu had Cheng with him, and the children were having fun on the side, and he was more and more radiant.
"The courtiers are stained with the light of the queen's mother this time, otherwise, she will have to be in that place in Yunnan for the rest of her life, don't talk about going out of the city on weekdays, it is difficult to even leave the house." Cheng sometimes heard her daughter say on the phone that the queen mother went to Yamato Prefecture to soak in hot springs, went to Ubu Sucheng to drive, and this time came to the northwest again, the queen mother herself is also very proud, and from time to time she said to the women inside and outside the house, she dared to say these words.
Xu said with a smile, "When I came, I told the emperor, I said, I have indeed traveled a lot with the emperor over the years.
Don't say it, if you have time, you have to go out and walk more. Look more, look around, be in a good mood, and your body will get better."
Cheng stammered, "The queen mother said this truth, the courtiers don't understand, it's just that in this world, how many people have the blessing of the queen mother? The Hou Ye will not be as considerate as the emperor, put down all the work at hand, and take the courtiers all over the Ming Dynasty."
Ordinary women are not surprised by the fact that others envy themselves for having a good man, and the Xu family is inevitably vulgar. The other party praised her, if it was someone else, it would be fine, it was a child's in-laws, Xu smiled and said, "Then I also owe your blessing, if it weren't for the crown princess presiding over the palace, I wouldn't have just left."
This way, stop and go, and wait until the time of Tacheng, it has been two or three months, the weather is getting hotter, but the temperature difference between day and night here is relatively large, and the climate is also suitable.
When the train arrived at Tacheng Station, there were not many people who came to pick up the station, Zheng Heng led a group of armed troops to come, and after greeting Zhu Di, he personally drove the three to the place where they lived.
"Your Majesty, because of a hurry, the ministers were in a hurry, so they had to enlist a wealthy merchant's courtyard here as the emperor's residence."
"Who is it?" Zhu Di asked.
"It was the Cao family of Qi County, their business spread all over North China, Northeast and Northwest, and they also set foot in the Timurid Khanate and the Golden Horde.
While speaking, the car had already driven into the yard, Zheng Heng hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door, Zhu Di opened his eyes and saw that the courtyard was neat, the trees were thick, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were sparse, and they were very delicately maintained, so he nodded, "Just live here, this time, there will be a lot of people from the capital, you help Zhang Luo, don't come, you can't keep up with food and accommodation."
"The emperor can rest assured, although Tacheng is remote, it has also developed in recent years, and it is definitely not as good as the capital in terms of food and accommodation, if you want to say that the food and accommodation are not good, it should not be."
The command room is set up in the barracks, the communication has been set up, and the airfield is next to it, and the roar can be heard up and down.
Several large screens stood in the command room, and pictures uploaded from satellites were projected on the screens, and the other side was deploying troops in a large area, converging from three different directions.
Seeing the picture on the screen, everyone was shocked by the noble generals who followed Zhu Di, and someone secretly asked Ru Yu, "Lord Ru, what is this?"
Ru Yu didn't know, and he was a little unhappy, the army was equipped with these, and he, as the secretary of the military department, didn't know.
"How do I know?" Ru Yu's bad temper has been brought out.
Chen Yi stood among the nobles, surrounded by white-bearded elders, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he only felt cold hands and feet.
He didn't expect that his father would be so bold and still stand on the side of the eldest prince when the emperor had already canonized the crown prince.
He still remembers a conversation between his father and him when he was in the capital, "The emperor is stingy, my Pingjiang uncle's title is just a liujue, once the father is gone, Pingjiang Bo's mansion will be reduced to an ordinary family, no longer a noble." Where is there still a place for people like me in the Ming Dynasty now, if we don't fight, will future generations go back to farming in the future?"
Chen Yi didn't think so, Daming is thriving, and the people can't starve to death, won't they have a good life in the future.
But my father is like this, and there is no doubt that all the old and young people in Pingjiang Bofu will be sent to hell.
The changes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought to Daming, can't his father see it?
He used these words to refute his father, but his father was angry because of this, and wanted to follow the example of the Chengguo Mansion to expel him from the house, and even, this time, the emperor asked all the clan nobles and generals to come to watch the battle, and his father actually planned to call him sick.
As a last resort, Chen Yi had no choice but to come, even if he was punished by the emperor for this, it was better than not being summoned.
"Uncle Pingjiang
This? Where are the people?" Zhu Gaoxian looked around, didn't see anyone, and couldn't help asking.
Last night, he got the news from Zhang Fu, saying that he met the people of the Ming Dynasty in the Timurid Khanate, and the other party saw that they were in trouble and stood by and watched, which really made Zhu Gaoxian laugh angrily, this is his own people are going to fight with their own people.
Chen Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my father can't come due to illness, so Weichen has to do it for me and watch the battle for my father."
Zhu Gaoxian asked lightly, "Really? Is Chen Xuan sick? What is the disease? Which physician will you ask for a pulse?"
Chen Yi knelt on the ground, trembling all over, he knew that Zhu Gaoxian was a person who valued feelings, so he had to gamble, "If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen's father is already old, and the third brother is on a mission with General Zhang Fu this time, and his father is worried, so he will become sick from work."
"Hongu knows, you get up!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xie!" Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were a little moist.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not an angry person, and he pushed the third brother out this time because he wanted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to look at the third brother's sake, and if something happened in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to open the net; On the other hand, he expressed their attitude as children, and since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not pursue it, he said that he understood what he meant.
Here, Ru Yu lost his temper, many people had the attitude of watching jokes, and they were quickly shocked by the pictures, not for the mighty army, but for how these pictures were formed?
"Your Majesty, this, what is this?" Ru Yu pointed to the picture with trembling hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, I have announced you from the capital here to show you the picture you have seen." Zhu Di was very satisfied with the attitude of the courtiers, he stood in front of the screen, just like twenty years ago, he stood on the platform of the Yanwang Mansion, full of spirit.
He was in the prime of life.
