On the Mobei grassland, the roar of artillery was constantly heard.

Yexian's mood was very melancholy, because the Ming army's fighting style was too stable, and every time a small force was sent with light artillery to attack and harass, if it fought back, people would go to the main force.

If you ignore it, or retreat, then the convenience will continue to disturb, and there will be no peace for a moment.

Moreover, after the Ming army gained the advantage, it was not greedy for merit, and every time the position was moved forward for ten miles and eight miles, and then camped.

Then, continue to be a small force to engage in your mentality, and a large army to suppress the formation.

In the face of such a steady style of play, the Warat army retreated one after another.

Before I knew it, I had retreated to the bank of the Krulun River, and if I retreated any further, I was about to see the River of Trouble.

However, the rear of the Ming army was constantly building camps, moving people out of the pass, stationing garrisons, and it was almost impossible to sneak attack the grain and grass in the rear.

On their own side, the troops were constantly depleted, and less than 100,000 of the 150,000 horses remained.

It can be seen that the goal of the Ming army is not to win or lose this battle at all, but to completely occupy the grassland.

This battle is too bad!

At night, the first Chinese army tent.

Officers above the centurion level were called over for an emergency meeting.

"The Ming army is determined not to leave this time, the situation is already very critical, and it is even related to the life and death of our department, you don't have to be restrained, if you have any ideas, just say it openly."

Everyone has long been holding their breath, and at the moment, you and I are talking about it, and the discussion is very intense, but most of them have the same meaning, a decisive battle with the Ming army!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

also had a heavy face, and said in his heart that if I could fight, I would need to ask you?

"I know your opinions, but the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Seeing the Great Khan hesitating, everyone couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

"Taishi, the Ming army has reached the doorstep, are we going to keep retreating?"

also frowned first and said: "Even if you want to fight, it's not now, what's going on over there?" ”

"Our Tanma is blocked by the Ming army, and we can't get in touch with the Dayan Department."

The Dayan Department is the Tatar Department, and the Ming Dynasty called Eastern Mongolia Tatar and Western Mongolia Warat.

And Warat called himself Oirat, and Tatar Dayan.

The Tatars called themselves Great Yuan Orthodoxy or Mongol Orthodoxy, and no matter how powerful the Varat were, in the eyes of the Tatars, only the blood of the Golden Family was qualified to become the overlord of the steppe.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind and said: "So far, our army has no way to retreat, and the order will be passed on, and all men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 from all departments of the grassland will go into battle to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army!" ”

There is no way to retreat, and there is no way to fight.

After winning the war, the army marched south, approaching Jingshi, where was the rich land of the Central Plains, with countless women and food.

If defeated......

Don't dare to think about it yet.

In the desert, those who are in high positions are inhabited by the brave.

This battle is a matter of life and death.

Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen, I thought he was just an ignorant doll emperor, but I didn't expect that you would let me underestimate it!

Whether it is life or death depends on this final battle.

What I didn't know was that in the Ming army, it was Yu Qian who was in charge of commanding, because Zhu Qizhen had already run away.

Three days ago, the Song Shu of the Household Shangshu Wang Zuo was sent to the front line, saying that the potatoes had fallen, and now he had personally brought people to the Yumu River.

Zhu Qizhen was immediately very excited, if he could get potatoes, the problem of immigrating to the grassland would be completely solved.

Now that the morale of the Ming army is high, Yu Qian's command is as steady as an old dog, and it makes no sense to stay on the front line, so he simply goes to the rear to take a look around, and by the way sees how the construction outside the gate is progressing.

All the way to the south, every dozen miles there is a camp rising from the ground, the houses are all made of cement concrete, the efficiency is very high.

The Yumuchuan camp has been built into a town, and the people have distributed grain seeds, reclaimed wasteland, and the once deserted grassland has begun to come to life.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo and Wu Canghai and others have been waiting for many days.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the potatoes in front of him with great interest, and then, the smile on his face gradually solidified.

Wang Zuo asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, this thing ...... What's wrong? ”

Zhu Qizhen scratched his head and asked, "This is a potato?" ”

"This, this ......"

Wang Zuo saw that the situation was not right, and suddenly became nervous, and secretly glared at Wu Canghai, and said in his heart, You have made me miserable!

Wu Canghai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Sinner Wu Canghai, long live my emperor!" ”

"Sinners?" Zhu Qizhen asked puzzledly, "What is the crime?" ”

Wu Canghai hurriedly replied: "The sentencing is a person from Guanzhong, Shaanxi, ten years ago, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, there was no harvest, the sinner was desperate, and became a homeless person, and later met a few smugglers in Quanzhou, so he followed them to the sea. The original name didn't dare to be used again, so he gave himself a new name called Wu Canghai. ”

This time, Wu Canghai learned to be obedient, and did not mention anything about robbing the granaries of wealthy families in the county, only saying that he went to sea to smuggle for a living.

Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen didn't care about his experience, but asked, "So, you found this thing?" ”

Wang Zuo's mood was extremely nervous, and it could be seen that the emperor attached great importance to potatoes, and besides, this thing that Wu Canghai got didn't seem quite right......

"In the years when the criminals went to sea, they met some Nanyang traders, which the criminals bought from the foreigners at a high price, saying that it was called artichoke, and I don't know if it was the potato that the emperor said."

"Artichoke?"

Hearing Zeng's voice, Zhu Qizhen pulled out the sword on his waist with his backhand, and Wang Zuo and Wu Canghai were suddenly frightened and lay on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

At this moment, Wang Zuo regretted this in his heart, if he couldn't find it, he said that he couldn't find it, but now it's self-defeating.

Zhu Qizhen picked up the sword and cut the artichoke in front of him, then picked it up and took a bite.

Artichoke, as the name suggests, is the taro eaten by foreigners, well...... It's really taro!

"It's not a potato, it's a taro, it's just bigger than ours."

Zhu Qizhen raised his head, only to find that the two of them were trembling on the ground, and said in surprise: "Wang Aiqing, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Zuozheng was pondering how to put the responsibility on Wu Canghai, and when he heard the emperor say this, he was slightly relieved in his heart.

It turned out to be a false alarm, which scared the old man to death!

"The emperor said that this is not a potato, yes, yes...... Taro? ”

"Yes, it's taro!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed, the yield of this taro must be very good, but it's a pity that this thing is not cold-tolerant, so it can only be promoted in the south.

Wang Zuo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "The old minister is incompetent, he can't find potatoes, and he asks the emperor to punish him!" ”
