A month later.

Wind and snow on the Daling River pontoon.

After a long journey, Yang Feng, who finally arrived at his destination, was wrapped in a leather robe and looked at the other side with a melancholy gaze.

After Her Royal Highness the princess arrived in Beiping, he returned to the team, and then they set off on their journey after only two days of rest in Beiping......

Zhu Di was still on the road at this time.

It took him much longer to ride back from the capital than Zhang Fu by boat.

After the latter left Chongming, he caught up with the last southerly day of autumn, and then went all the way to Zhigu in only ten days, but it took Zhu Di a month to return to Beiping on horseback at the speed of a long march.

Of course, if Zhang Fu didn't encounter a tailwind, then he might even need a few months, and the sea grain transportation had previously miscalculated the date, or it could be that the cold air went south in advance, and was blocked halfway until the next year, which is also an important reason why the sea became a canal later, after all, even if there is no wind in the canal, there are slender men to pull the fiber, so as not to delay the princes and nobles in the capital to eat.

Compared with the sea transportation that completely depends on the sky, although the speed is slow, it is better than stability!

That's all that matters.

Everything must be at the service of the princes and nobles of the capital.

Therefore, Yang Feng and his entourage need to take the first step and go to Guangning according to their original mission, and Zhu Di will select at least 3,000 elite cavalry under his command after returning to Beiping, and also have to train those Furlong machine gunners, and then go to Liaoyang, and then the armies in Liaodong, including the Liao Wang's department, will be commanded by him.

When his army arrives in Liaoyang, it will be almost the beginning of next year.

This kind of large-scale military operation is to make adequate preparations in advance, including the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, which must also prepare all the necessary needs.

But these have nothing to do with Yang Feng, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to be a guide in the name of a name, he did bring a positioning map, but he couldn't expect that the environment at this time was the same as in modern times, there were no roads, the river was not necessarily in any direction, and the modern plain may be a dense forest at this time. For example, the lower reaches of the Liao River, a modern empty, but at this time it should be a vast forest, and there is a special name Changlinzi, the entire lower reaches of the Liao River are all, follow his navigation, I am afraid that sooner or later I will fall into the ditch.

There is no shortage of guides for Zhu Di, and there is a commander among his guards who is a general of the Yuan Dynasty, and people know better than him about the situation north of Liaodong.

Zhu Yuanzhang's real purpose is still unguessable.

But Yang Feng didn't need to care about this, all he needed to do now was to follow the little princess to Guangning, and then enjoy the warm hospitality of Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao.

O vassal king!

The richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Just take out one of them, it's a rich country!

So what awaits him next will be a beautiful life with fine clothes and beautiful women.

However......

"This Tamar is your palace?"

He pointed to the white in the snowstorm on the other side and shouted in an almost roaring tone.

Wang fu?

In front of him is a huge military camp surrounded by a fence, and then countless tents in the barracks are crowded, and among those tents, there is indeed a big one, just like a big Shandong dumpling in Wangzai's small steamed buns. But it's also a tent, and you can see a lot of children running and playing outside the tent, and there are women in the snow with wooden shelves, hanging iron pots to cook rice, or maybe boiling water, after all, at this time it is better to dig ice to get water than to melt snow, they are wrapped in torn cotton jackets, their faces are red from the cold, and they shake off the snow from time to time in the heavy snow.

What kind of palace is this, it's just a refugee camp, and it's even more like the cries of those children.

"It's here, it's finally here, but I'm freezing to death, I'm going to find the warmest room to roast the fire!"

The little princess in filial piety clothes said that she poked her head out of her sedan chair in a hurry, and then looked at the refugee camp in front of her and was instantly dumbfounded.

"Princess, your destination has arrived, which tent you like, choose for yourself!"

Yang Feng said.

The little princess looked at the boundless tent in front of her like a fool, because the snow cover was not obvious, like countless faint graves.

"I'm going home!"

She said without tears.

"Princess, don't panic, I've lived in this tent too, and it's still quite warm inside."

Miss Zhang, who looked like a rolling girl in a fur fur, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to comfort her.

As for why Miss Zhang also followed, of course, it was the little princess who saw her fall in love, after all, there was no one around Her Royal Highness the princess to speak, and it was rare to meet someone who could be a girlfriend after arriving in Beiping, so she was naturally reluctant to part in such a hurry, so her sister-in-law Princess Yan also agreed.

Anyway, I'm just going to take a trip, and I'll go back when spring begins.

As for why you fell in love......

This, in fact, the two of them have met twice in Beiping, but it is difficult to say such a thing as fate.

Anyway, after Ambassador Yang went to the princess to chat for a while, she suddenly felt that she and Miss Zhang were very close to each other.

Of course, since then, there have been a few more small bits and pieces on the little princess's body.

"Princess, this is no way, after all, the palace is still under construction, Your Majesty has a decree, His Royal Highness the King of Liao and his department are temporarily stationed on the bank of the Daling River, and you can move in when the palace is repaired, but if it is cold today, it is often suspended, and if you want to repair it, you have to live in a tent next summer, and even the king will live in a tent at this time.

This is also His Majesty's will. ”

The prince who greeted them said.

"Can't you go to Jinzhou City to live, it's just a few dozen miles away, and I don't think there is a shortage of places in Jinzhou City."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, the King of Liao has already been in Guangning, if there is no holy decree not to leave the fiefdom, although Jinzhou has a place to live, but not the king's fiefdom, this Daling River is the boundary, if there is no will, the King of Liao is not allowed to step across the Daling River, so even if it is not far from Jinzhou City, you can't go without Your Majesty's will. Even if you live in a tent in Quang Ninh, you must live in Quang Ninh, and the king is in Quang Ninh, it is to guard the border fortress, since it is a town guarding the border fortress, it is indispensable to lead troops to go on the expedition, if you can't even endure this hardship, how can you still lead troops?

This is also His Majesty's desire to hone the King of Liao.

If not, then the Acropolis of Quang Ninh also has a place to live.

However, the princess has no restrictions, let's see the king of Liao first and then return to Jinzhou, and wait for the snow to stop and then come to read the holy decree and give winter clothes and money. ”

Xie Gui said.

It was indeed impossible to summon the armies to read the decree.

"If the enemy army suddenly kills at this time, he can't cross the Daling River without permission?"

"Yes, even if the enemy army suddenly kills at this time, the king of Liao can only take his troops to meet the battle, and before he receives the holy decree ordering him to retreat across the Daling River, as long as he crosses this line, he will abandon the domain.

Capital crime. ”

"What about the local officials in Quang Ninh, the guards in charge of military affairs?"

"Trapping, capital crime, everyone is a capital crime, and the three clans are connected."

Xie Gui said.

So Zhu Yuanzhang's move is really ruthless!

The vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief without a holy decree, even if he is besieged by the enemy, he has to defend the fief, even if he dies, he has to die in his fiefdom, the surrounding garrisons, magistrates, if the vassal king does not withdraw, he must also fight to the death, otherwise it is also a capital crime to trap the domain, so as long as the vassal king does not leave, it is death, and he must follow along, otherwise to escape is to kill the whole family.

A vassal king is a nail that nails the entire military and political system to the defense zone.

Even if the enemy is strong, it is true that he can't be defeated, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not let him withdraw, he must die together, but Zhu Yuanzhang is in Nanjing, and it takes half a month to go back and forth from here, so no matter whether he is allowed to withdraw or not, this half month of stubborn defense is also necessary. But in fact, with the siege ability of those nomadic cavalry, as well as the reaction speed of the garrisons in other surrounding defense areas, as long as Half Moon does not retreat, it has basically survived, but this system is really effective.

Therefore, after Zhang Xianzhong killed the entire family of the King of Chu, Yang Sichang could only commit suicide.

Trapped!

He didn't kill himself, and his political enemies could kill him on that charge.

It can be said that this system puts everyone in the border is in fact in a situation of fighting against the water, no matter what the reason, as long as there is no holy decree, they must defend to the death.

"Let's go, welcome to the Northeast, my little princess, this is the place you have been looking forward to all the way."

Yang Feng made a gesture of invitation and said to the little princess who still wanted to cry without tears.

Then a gust of wind swept the snowflakes and instantly poured into the sedan chair.

At the same time, a large number of cavalry appeared in the wind and snow on the opposite side, and one of them was a young man who was also wearing filial piety clothes......

can only be a teenager, after all, Zhu Zhi is also a high school freshman at this time.

"Throwing your son to this kind of place, Your Majesty the Emperor is indeed very courageous, I counted the people who are the King of Shu and the King of Chu, and got a good fief, there are no good places in the north, even if the King of Yan and the King of Jin can only say that it is okay."

Yang Feng sighed.

"The ambassador thinks that the king of Shu is not a side stopper? Chengdu is less than 200 miles to the west, and it is already a nomadic in the Western Domain, does the ambassador think that the Western Domain is called a minister and a tribute, and there is no longer the heart to peep into Sichuan? ”

Xie Gui said.

"But the King of Chu can't be counted, right?"

"Who originally owned the fief of the King of Chu? Does the ambassador think that such a place does not need repression? In the mountains and forests south of Wuchang, there are still many Chen Youliang's old departments, unwilling to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and have been hiding in them so far, and the imperial court cannot enter to clear them, and the king of Chu only conquered the Western Barbarians last year, and all parts of Xiangxi are still ready to move. The Ming Dynasty has only ruled the world for 20 years, no matter which feudal king's fiefdom, it is not for them to enjoy the blessings, even if Zhou Lu and other kings live in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is also to give the northern kings the general management of military supplies, the kings or the north or the south, or for the forward or for the support, like siblings to protect the heart, in order to protect the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years. ”

"There is no 10,000-year-old country, and the empire will always perish, without exception."

Yang Feng said.

Then the horsemen also reached the bridge, and the young man dismounted in a hurry, and walked briskly, while the little princess's palanquin fell, and she rushed out with joy, screaming and pounced on her brother......

Indeed, it is my own brother,

The others are not born by a mother, how can there be any real brother and sister feelings.
