Chapter 554: Beiyuan is saved!
The reason why Zhu Yunxi tossed his second uncle Zhu Fan with his life was to try to see if he could break the established laws of history.
Therefore, he deliberately brought Zhu Fan to the ship to save him from being assassinated.
It's just that he never told anyone about these things.
Now Zhu Fan is still alive and kicking in the Golden Continent, leading a group of local natives to expand the territory, and he dares to give birth to the idea of changing his life for Lao Zhu.
According to the established history of another time and space, Lao Zhu's lifespan is just over half a year.
If Lao Zhu can survive this half a year, then it is possible to live for another ten or twenty years in the future. If Lao Zhu can't survive, then he also wants to see the Northern Yuan surrender and become a province of the Ming Empire when Lao Zhu is still alive.
Zhu Yunxi flipped through the perpetual calendar and made a decision full of melancholy.
War!
After Zhu Yunxi made this decision, the entire Ming Dynasty became busy.
Grain from the south is gathered along the canal at the starting station of the Jingtong line. The guards of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, after some selection of the best of the best, also stepped on the train to Datong.
Every day, the cabinet in the capital issued hundreds of documents urging all localities to collect autumn taxes. The six ministries and nine secretaries also performed their own duties, and used the telegraph system to make close adjustments to the provinces, prefectures, and counties of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi's previous people who asked Lao Zhu were all sent to Datong by Lao Zhu. Even the blue jade he despised the most was sent over after being repaired by Lao Zhu.
Although Lao Zhu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Yunxi's gourd, out of trust in his eldest grandson, he still handed over the only remaining famous general of the Ming Dynasty to him and let him mobilize the army of the whole country.
Because he knows that this grandson does not seek fame or profit, and he doesn't even want to give birth to a great-grandson, he must be running for the scourge of Beiyuan.
Once the Northern Yuan can be solved, whether it is him, the old emperor, or Zhu Yunxi, the little rebel grandson, they will be forever recorded in history!
In order to cooperate with Zhu Yunxi, Lao Zhu even canceled the morning dynasty that was a daily routine.
On the one hand, he wanted to be lazy, and on the other hand, he found that the efficiency of the early dynasty was too low, and it was far less fast than the cabinet's disposal.
After all, there are dozens of people in the cabinet to help deal with the documents, and there are three famous Confucian people who help draft the handling opinions.
He, the emperor, only needs to sign and seal, which saves a lot of time.
With the acquiescence and connivance of Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunxi's northern expedition plan went very smoothly, a large number of materials were transported from Jiangnan to Datong, and 200,000 guards were also evacuated and assembled outside the naturalized city.
Lan Yu got off the train and went straight to Zhu Yunxi, hugged Zhu Yunxi, and happily circled around the platform with him.
"Uncle wants to kill you, hahaha!"
Zhu Yunxi pushed Lan Yu away with a look of disgust, and asked with a frown.
"Uncle, why do you smell of pickled cucumbers?"
Fu Youde and the others were late, and they all laughed out loud when they heard this.
"Your Highness doesn't know, in order to punish Lan Yu, the superior deliberately put Lan Yu and the wagon for transporting pickles together, hahaha!"
Hearing this, Lan Yu gritted her teeth and looked at Fu Youde.
"You talk a lot!"
"Lao Tzu is willing to take a pickle cart, you can't sit for miles if you want to!"
Lan Yu scolded Fu Youde, and couldn't wait to grab Zhu Yunxi and ask.
"Nephew grandson, have you thought about it, why did you fight with the Tartar?"
"If you haven't thought about it, let my uncle think for you, hahaha!"
As long as the mention of war is mentioned, Lan Yu's whole person becomes radiant, and he can't live forever.
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"There's no hurry to fight, I'll pick you up first, and when you're familiar with the environment here, it's not too late for us to discuss how to fight!"
Lan Yu said nonchalantly.
"Hey!"
"What's so familiar with this place, isn't it just that the wind is strong and the sand is dry!"
"Old Fu, Old Feng, and Old Man, which one hasn't been in this place for half his life?"
Feng Sheng immediately responded happily when he heard this, while Fu Youde stood aside and laughed without saying a word, watching the two friends praise each other.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Lan Yu was blowing seriously with Feng Sheng for a while, so he threw down Lan Yu and walked towards the few juniors standing on the side.
"Uncle Ping!"
"General Geng!"
"Weichen doesn't dare to be called by His Royal Highness, you can just call Weichen by name."
Geng Bingwen also smiled when he heard this, and looked at Lan Yu and the others on the side.
"Weichen doesn't dare to be called the general of the emperor's grandson, the real generals are those three!"
"The two elders said that they would see the outside, at least we are all old in-laws, and we still need to cooperate sincerely in the future to defend against the enemy together......"
Under Zhu Yunxi's warm reception, several people quickly let go of their restraints, and then went to the palace for a banquet.
After the reception banquet, Zhu Yunxi ordered people to remove the wine and food, serve tea, and follow a few veterans and young generals to discuss the next military action.
"Elders, it is the first time for me to command the battle, and I would like to ask you to correct me a lot."
Lan Yu said with a grin when he heard this.
"Imperial grandson, you have extra command, you hand over all the military power to us, and we promise to help you destroy the Northern Yuan so that there is not even a chicken left!"
Zhu Yunxi glared at Lan Yu fiercely.
"Uncle, with your broken mouth, you are not wronged to die ten times!"
"I'm a king, you're a minister, how can you talk like that?"
"Someone!"
"Drag Lan Yu out, pour three basins of cold water on him, and let him be refreshed!"
"No!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi's voice fell, Chang Jizu came in with Jinyiwei and dragged out Lan Yu, who was still stunned.
After a while, there was a whining sound from outside with Lan Yu's squeaking and screaming.
"Stinky boy, you're so splashy!"
"Weichen knows his mistake, the emperor's grandson has given Weichen a little face, ahhhh......h
Everyone in the main hall all smiled gloating when they heard Lan Yu's strange scream. It's just that after laughing, everyone's hearts sank, as if they understood something.
The imperial grandson, is this in Liwei?
When Lan Yu was dragged back wet, everyone realized in their hearts.
The emperor's grandson is in Liwei, and he is taking his own uncle and grandfather to Liwei!
Lan Yu became unusually quiet after re-entering the main hall, and no matter what Zhu Yunxi said, he didn't dare to interject.
It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi named him that he asked tentatively.
"Lan Yu, if Lone gives you 100,000 soldiers, can you contain the Chagatai Khanate and prevent Chagatai from sending troops to aid the Northern Yuan?"
Lan Yu pointed to his face and asked with some weakness.
"Can I speak?"
"Yes!"
"Lone gives you permission to speak!"
As soon as Lan Yu heard this, he suddenly became out of shape again.
"Hey!"
"But the old man can be suffocated to death!"
"The old man just asked, why did the imperial grandson let the old man contain what bullshit Chagatai?"
"The old man should take the lead!"
"Head!"
"Do you know?"
"Looking at Daming, who else is more suitable to take the lead than the old man?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"No way!"
"It's thousands of miles away from the Northern Yuan Khan's Court, and with your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to support the pain of the attack."
Lan Yu was immediately unconvinced when she heard this.
"Who said the old man can't do it?"
"Old man, I'll prove it to you!"
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head to look at Lan Yu.
"How do you want to prove it?"
Hearing this, Lan Yu got up, looked around, and saw a big bluestone with a flagpole at the door, and walked over to move it.
However, he did not move the slightest bit of milk with all his strength.
"Lan Yu, don't waste your efforts, the stone grows in the soil, and there is a stone mountain underneath, but the top is exposed like this, and I ordered someone to dig a hole and put a flagpole to use."
Hearing this, Lan Yu immediately found the steps.
"Let's just say, with our strength, how can we not move such a large stone?"
"Imperial grandson, if you don't believe me, you can order someone to find a few stone locks and see if I can dance!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"Don't bother!"
"I've got a good new horse, and if you can tame it, I'll let you take the lead."
Lan Yu's face was full of disbelief when she heard this.
"It's that simple?"
"Of course!"
"You don't have any jokes?"
"No jokes!"
"Good!"
"You'll all have to testify to me, I'm going to train the horses, hahaha......"
Zhu Yunxi watched Lan Yu happily go out to train the horse, and immediately turned his head to look at Fu Youde.
"Ying Guogong, you lead 100,000 troops from the front line of Beihai to attack the Northern Yuan ...... from east to west"
"If you encounter scattered herdsmen and small groups of cavalry in the Northern Yuan, you can send someone to subdue them and send them back to Huacheng."
"If there is no resistance, go straight to the Khan Court!"
Compared with Lan Yu's verbosity, Fu Youde is much more neat.
"No!"
"Wechen must do his best, and then die!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately looked at Feng Sheng.
"General Feng, you lead 100,000 troops, set off from Yinchuan, and attack from the south to the north."
"Your Highness, just look at it, Weichen promises to blow up the egg yolk of Ugqi Hashha!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned unhappily when he heard this.
"Let me tell you two in advance, one-third of the soldiers led by the two of you are Mengyuan people, as well as the Jurchens who were transferred from the Nuer Gandu Division!"
"Huh?"
Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were dumbfounded when they heard this, this is not an ordinary war, just mix some sand into the army, this is a battle to destroy the country. Once the Mengyuan people defect, their defeat will be light, and they will be wiped out.
"Please think twice, this is not child's play, even if you only give us 70,000 people, don't mix these waste firewood into our army!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.
"No way!"
"There are fewer people who can't scare Beiyuan, besides, so many Mengyuan people stay with me, I'm afraid that they will come at me!"
When the two of them heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they didn't dare to refuse, after all, compared to the two of them, the safety of the imperial grandson was the most important.
"You two don't have to worry too much, the aliens I sent to you basically have family members in the hands of our Daming, don't be afraid of them rebelling."
"This time I took them to fight, just let them give Daming a name!"
When Feng Sheng heard Zhu Yunxi say this, he immediately showed a happy expression.
"Since that's the case, then Weichen is not welcome, and he also tastes the taste of leading 100,000 soldiers, hahaha!"
When everyone saw him bring out the allusion of "Chang 100,000", they all laughed along. But after laughing, Geng Bingwen, Li Jinglong and others couldn't sit still.
"Your Highness, what about us?"
"You each led 30,000 troops, and General Feng, General Lan, and General Fu marched in the gap between the three armies, responsible for assisting them in the battle, and have already dealt with a small group of Mengyuan cavalry."
"If necessary, you can join forces with other generals nearby and jointly attack the Northern Yuan!"
"No!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi's assignment ended, Lan Yu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, walked in stupidly.
Lan Yu, who sat down again, didn't mention the main attack, but just looked at Zhu Yunxi with a blank eye, wanting Zhu Yunxi to change him to a more passionate errand, instead of running to Tianshan to be a containment.
However, Zhu Yunxi didn't pay attention to him at all, and said a few words casually and said that the meeting was dismissed.
Lan Yulai was at the end, and when he saw that everyone was gone, he begged Zhu Yunxi with a face.
"Nephew, we won't say anything about our Liwei, but you can't throw us over there in the Tianshan Mountains to watch the excitement, right?"
Zhu Yunxi also felt a little sorry for Lan Yu, and when he saw Lan Yu say this, he could only explain to him patiently.
"Uncle, there is no main attack on Beiyuan this time!"
"Huh?"
When Lan Yu heard this, his face was ten thousand incredulous.
"We don't believe it!"
"How can you fight a war without a main attack?"
Zhu Yunxi said with a wry smile when he heard this.
"Uncle, don't you look at how many people our Daming dispatched this time, and how big a battle they put on?"
"If Beiyuan doesn't roll up and run away overnight, they are bold!"
"This ......"
Lan Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he roughly calculated in his heart, not that he didn't know, but he was shocked.
Not counting the alien soldiers recruited by Zhu Yunxi, there are more than 300,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in this expedition to the Northern Yuan!
If you count the surrendered Mengyuan soldiers and the Jurchens transferred from the Nuer Gandu Division, the total strength of this dispatch is probably close to 500,000!
Beiyuan even counts the old, weak, sick and disabled, how many people can be made?
If they knew that Da Ming had sent so many people to beat them, anyone who had a little brain would have to run away overnight!
"Nephew, do you know that they are timid, so they can't send fewer people?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly and said.
"No way!"
"I don't have time, I have to finish the fight before the spring of next year, even if this battle drags on until winter!"
"Why is that?"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand irritably.
"Don't ask why, just say if you can fight?"
"If you don't want to fight, I'll find someone else to go, it just so happens that Li Jinglong wants to make meritorious service in his dreams!"
"Li Jinglong?"
Lan Yu suddenly showed a disdainful expression.
"This thing will also be a little bit of a mouthful, you expect him to fight, and he can beat your pants!"
"One more thing, we have to tell you secretly......"
Lan Yu glanced around, and saw that only himself and Zhu Yunxi were left in the room, so he leaned in and muttered quietly.
"Li Jinglong has a good relationship with your fourth uncle, you have to be careful with him in the future, don't let him sell you!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.
"Lone knows, Lone will be wary of him!"
Lan Yu saw that Zhu Yunxi listened, and immediately stopped being verbose, and arched towards Zhu Yunxi.
"Weichen takes the order!"
"There are micro-ministers, and the Chagatai will not send a single soldier, hahaha!"
Zhu Yunxi watched Lan Yu leave, and listened to Lan Yu's hearty and confident laughter, and suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart.
It has to be my uncle and grandfather!
As long as there is Lan Yu, you don't have to worry about problems in the west!
In fact, Zhu Yunxi was never worried about the Chagatai Khanate, but about the Timurid Empire further west.
Timur had a similar experience to Lao Zhu, both of whom started from scratch and built a huge empire.
Chagatai may not be able to understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, but Timur definitely does.
Once he learned that the Ming Dynasty had conquered the Northern Yuan, Timur would inevitably send troops to help the Northern Yuan and jointly resist the Ming Dynasty.
With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is effortless to destroy the Northern Yuan. But if it is against the four khanates of the Western Regions at the same time, the Ming Dynasty will be a little unbearable.
Even if we can still win in the end, it will cost a lot of national strength and pay a great price.
After all, the four khanates combined, whether it is population, land, soldiers, etc., their strength is far above that of the Ming Dynasty.
The advantage of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than the power of the armor and the wealth of the country.
While Zhu Yunxi was making the final preparations before the war, Haohai Dayu also passed through the Chagatai Khanate and came to Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire, the most powerful country in the West.
Hao Haida wanted to look at the prosperity and wealth of Samarkand, and his heart was suddenly filled with infinite hope.
As long as Timur is dragged into the water, they will be saved!
