Watching Zhu Bai and Zhu Ji leave, Cheng Yuan also had to be busy with his own affairs, using Yunnan as a place for military training and taking the world.

At the beginning of the summer of the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Empire, there was a wind in Datong Mansion in Shanxi, which is located in the north of the Ming Empire, at the intersection of the agricultural civilization in the north of the Central Plains and the nomadic civilization in the north of the desert.

Witnessing the conflict between the Mongolian iron cavalry and the Ming Han family for many years, it is an important transportation artery and transit station in the Mobei and Hexi corridors, and has also become an important node of the northern route of the Silk Road.

This military city located in the northwest, in order to prevent barbarian invasion on the grassland, the earthen walls on all sides were extremely thick by the Ming army, and it looked like a tall and strong loess mound.

In the spring and summer, it is dry, and the floating soil is blown by the northwest wind and cannot open its eyes, and the smoke and dust are everywhere, and then it falls on the simple camp tent, and falls on the body of the Ming border army, and the mouth is full of earthy smell.

But Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo of the Ming Dynasty, was full of smiles in his eyes at the moment.

As a general who came to the north, although Zhu Gaosui was in Beiping Mansion, Datong still had to guard it by himself.

Although he was really annoyed by the loess at the border pass, when he heard the news, he felt happy and proud of the imperial court from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Neng quickly put away the letter from the imperial court, and said to a few pro-soldiers: "The Daming fleet has gone to sea, and Your Majesty said that when the Zhenguo Gong reforms the Yunnan Tusi, Your Majesty will personally conquer Mobei." ”

The soldiers smiled, pointed to the yellow sand in the north outside, and said, "At that time, we will follow Your Majesty to level the barbarism of the grassland." ”

"I think you want to go bare-chested to the grassland to catch rabbits."

Early yesterday morning, the steppe barbarians led a team of cavalry to brave the wind and sand weather and ran to the homes of nearby farmers to grab grain.

Zhu Neng ordered the cavalry to go out of the camp and snatch back one of the farmer's ploughing cattle and five bags of wheat.

"This letter is still more than ten days ago, and it is estimated that the sun has set on the fleet at this time. After all, it will not take a short time to get here from the capital. ”

……………

Zhu Di pointed to the map of Mobei and said, "I have wanted to conquer Mobei for a long time, and I want to ...... back then."

"Father, you ......"

"Don't speak, I want to make a ...... to conquer Mobei back then"

Zhu Di turned his head sideways and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaoxu shook their heads.

"Say!" Zhu Di turned around.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "You have a hole in the tail of the dragon. ”

Cheng Yuan licked his mouth: "That, King Han means that Your Majesty has a hole in the back of your buttocks." ”

Zhu Di was impassionedly talking to them about the thoughts of herding the world, and he didn't think about it at all, and his face was not good at the moment: "Get out." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has also gone back to prepare, Datong is a good place...... So how many generals are you going to give us? ”

"When you set off tomorrow, you will know, that is, the pomp is not as big as Zheng He's trip to the West." Zhu Di said.

It doesn't matter, I accompanied the vassal king to the domain, knowing that he was going to do big things, and I didn't know that he was demoted out of the capital.

"Regarding the affairs of Yunnan, you must take care of Gao Xu, don't let him stab Lou Zi and lose face to the court."

"Then I will look at the affairs of Yunnan, and you have written a holy decree to me, so that when the time comes, I can also have a persuasive force."

Zhu Di said: "Isn't the Zhenguo Sword? I write another oracle to you. ”

When I returned to the house in the evening, the trees and flowers in the back garden had already been thanked, and Zhu Zhizhen ordered Shi Kai to move a few chairs and put them in the back garden.

She said: "You really told the second brother that Xianning embroidered a sick cat. ”

Cheng Yuan was silent.

She said casually: "I heard that you are going to Yunnan for three years? ”

He shook his head and said, "If it's fast, it's okay to be able to do basic things in two years, but it will take at least three years." ”

She asked, "What did you say when you pulled Zhengqing to the study, is it the resignation of the father and the son?" ”

Cheng Yuan didn't speak.

I was silent for a long time, looking at the garden, in fact, they are all books with leaves, and there is nothing to see.

She looked at the sky and said, "You're leaving, why don't you go and take her back to the palace, and blame the second brother for talking too much." ”

"Didn't you say that when men have power, they will look at women more, why don't you?"

Cheng Yuan said softly: "Yes, not every man is like this. ”

Zhu Zhizhen put her chin on her knees, her feet dangled in the chair, and murmured: "But you have to go for three years, and the road to Yunnan alone is almost two months, and it's not good to hold back." ”

After she said this, she put her feet down, put on her embroidered shoes, and got up and went to the front yard in a graceful posture.

After dawn, Shi Kai, Cao De, and Zhu Gaoxu waited in the courtyard, Kuang Yu carried the medicine box, and Wei Lanzhou carried notes and the booklet of Cheng's study in his baggage.

Zhu Gaoxu yawned, stretched out his hand and patted his face, and said, "What's the matter with your princess, this king got up before dawn." ”

When Kuang Yu was thinking about crossing Henan, he went to Kaifeng to pick up Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and then asked him for some medicine books.

Wei Lanzhou counted the Cheng family's learning in the baggage several times, for fear of leaking it.

"The princess of Han got up earlier than your father-in-law."

"Lord Wang, my father-in-law used to get up earlier than us every time, and I don't know what's going on today."

Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously: "There are no chickens and dogs jumping in the house these days, right?" ”

Kuang Yu said casually: "Yes, Master Xianning doesn't know what's wrong, I've been messing with the master for a long time, and I've been going to the palace to go to the queen mother these days." ”

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and said: "Your father-in-law will not go to take my sister back, how easy it is to do such a simple thing." ”

Kuang Yu nodded seriously: "It's true, but I'm leaving today, forget it, let's talk about it when I come back." ”

"It may take three years to come back, and maybe he won't be able to come back in this life." Zhu Gaoxu said: "There are not many Han people in Yunnan, they are all foreigners, the place is hot and humid all year round, there are not many poisonous insects and beasts, and the most tricky is the well-trained elephant herd in Tusi. ”

Shi Kai nodded: "That's it." ”

At this time, Cheng Yuan came out with a burden in one hand and a wall with the other. I saw them chattering in the backyard and said, "They all got up early." ”

Kuang Yu looked at Cheng Yuan and said in surprise: "Master sees that you are kidney qi...... Your face is blue, it is possible that you have been injured in some way. ”

Cheng Yuan's feet were weak, Zhu Gaoxu's smile was even more profound, and he said, "Zhenguo Gong, do you want this king to let you sit in the carriage?" ”

Cheng Yuan said seriously: "Some battles are more laborious, but you can still return to your roots, after all, young people are not." ”

Shi Kai said very seriously: "There is a war at night, why didn't Guogong call me for help, there can't be such a thing as assassination anymore." By the way, Your Highness, she's fine. ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Shi Kai, when you come to Yunnan, I will find a Miao girl for you, and you will fight every day." ”

Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Sister, brother, I left with my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law is estimated to have back pain all the way, and it is difficult to walk." ”

A few people came out of the backyard corridor.

Cheng Yuan said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is really bad, how many guys did you bring to Yunnan this time?" ”

"Go check it out and you'll find out." Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "The men and horses given by my father, 5,000 are the elite of the capital, 60,000 horses are in Guangxi, and the rest are the border troops stationed in Yunnan, and those guards add up to more than 100,000. ”

Princess An Cheng sat lazily in the room, saw the Yunnan plan book on the table, and said to herself: "If you are scattered, it doesn't matter how long you come back, as long as you are safe." ”

She didn't want to send it, otherwise it would inevitably be sad to part, so she forgot about it and went out to deliver it.

Seeing the nurse coming, she said, "Send the three of them over tonight." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Outside the mansion, Cheng Yuan looked at the twenty general cannons that were tightly wrapped in rain cloth and placed on the caravan, and carefully checked the second general, fire guns and the like.

"Your Majesty is willing to pay for it. Among the 5,000 elites, 1,000 are from the Shenji Battalion, and they are all familiar faces, and I recognize them all. ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting on horseback, said: "There are a lot of good things ahead, I don't want to bring those to the Mu family, let's go to Dali first, and then go to the Mu family when it is stable?" ”

Cheng Yuan was about to nod.

Saihazhi rode a horse and galloped over from the empty street, there is gunpowder today, and the five military governments have already let the people avoid it.

In addition to Saihazhi, he was followed by a red horse, with a woman on the back of the horse and a sword on her back.

Who else could there be besides Da Yuer.

Saihazhi quickly arrived in front of him and said, "Your Majesty asked her to accompany you." ”

Cheng Yuan nodded at Da Yu'er, if she came, there must be a Jinyi guard, and it was convenient to send her to Mu's house at that time, Zhu Di was really thoughtful.

Later, the firearms and bows and crossbows loaded in wooden boxes were successively transported.

"These are all brought by His Majesty alone." Da Yuer said as she gave him the small fire hammer along with the clip.

Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "I want to be the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, but a general, I don't need a sword to use this thing." ”

Zhu Zhizhen, who came out to stand at the door of the mansion to deliver the book, heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she murmured softly: What is the first Ming Dynasty, it's not early in the morning to rub your waist and prepare to leave......
