Chapter 5 Wind and Snow

Shanhaiguan has just been built, and the entire city pass is brand new. This Guancheng was built by Xu Da in the fourteenth year of Hongwu. That is, the year He Xi crossed over. After Xu Da inspected this place, Zhu Yuanzhang played and said that the terrain of Yuguan was not the most dangerous. The city should be moved sixty miles to the east, where the mountains are backed by the sea, and the terrain is the most dangerous.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not refute Xu Da's suggestion.

As a result, there is the world's first Xiongguan, Shanhaiguan.

In fact, the ancient checkpoints are set up, even if it is not a hundred battles of famous generals to find the address, it is also the foundation of the generals, how can there be such a big mistake, in fact, this is a microcosm of the vicissitudes of life over the past few hundred years. The previous Yuguan was in the Tang Dynasty. Now hundreds of years ago, hundreds of years ago, most of the West Liaoning Corridor was in the sea, and today's Shanhaiguan may be what it looks like. But over the past few hundred years, Liaoze has shrunk a lot, and Liaoze, which made the Sui and Tang armies sigh with admiration, gradually has a lot of roads to pass.

What was originally a muddy beach by the sea has now become a plain dozens of miles wide. It has also become the most convenient road to the northeast.

Now a team of people and horses have braved the wind and snow to go out of Shanhaiguan.

The leader is none other than others. It was Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song.

It is now the end of the eighteenth year of Hongwu. Winter in the north comes earlier than in the south, while winter in Liaodong comes earlier than in the north. Even though Feng Sheng was wearing a thick coat. At this moment, in the wind and snow, as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a half-zhang long ha. It's like a long rainbow running through the sun.

The cold wind was pervasive, blowing through the layers of clothes, leaving Feng Sheng up and down without a trace of heat. I only felt that my body was numb and bone-piercing, and I couldn't even move consistently.

Feng Sheng said secretly in his heart; "It's old. Old. ”

When I followed my brother to fight, in the cold winter, I dared to fight on the Yangtze River, fell into the biting cold water, and then climbed up, without even changing my clothes, and fought again. I just feel that my body is like a small stove, no matter how cold it is, it has been roasted dry. But now I feel very empty inside.

It seems that there is a large piece of ice in his arms, and the cold inside and the cold air outside, when excited, the whole person can't stand it.

"Father-in-law. You're not already arranged. All kinds of preparations in Liaodong, He Xi, the governor of Liaodong, have already reported it, and I can see it well. Why bother at this time, come out to inspect, you just don't feel at ease. After the beginning of spring next year, the weather will be warmer, and it will never be too late to come back. A young general said.

He is dressed up in layers. It's furry like a big bear. However, it can also be seen that he has a good physique, at least, compared to Feng Sheng, it seems that he can withstand the severe cold of Liaodong.

This person is none other than Chang Yuchun's son, Chang Mao.

Chang Yuchun died early, and Chang Mao was Feng Sheng's son-in-law. But Feng Sheng was very unhappy with this son-in-law. But that's what I wanted. Chang Mao's martial arts are often in spring. It can be regarded as a brave general, but even if it is often met with the force of spring, there are at least a dozen generals in the world who can be compared. And the reason why Chang Yuchun is so famous makes Zhu Yuanzhang never forget it, and he is not from Zhu Yuanzhang's lineage. Among the heroes, he is second only to Xu Da.

It's not just about being able to fight.

Chang Mao is not Chang Yuchun's brain has not inherited at all. Otherwise, the generals who are often in the same vein would rather go to Lanyu than care too much about Chang Mao, the Duke of Zheng Guo.

It seems that Xu Da's illness made Zhu Yuanzhang particularly concerned about the replacement of the old and the new in the army, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, almost all the second generation of generals participated in this war.

After all, it has been nearly 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the founding heroes have withered. and their offspring were also grown. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the reason why Zhu Yunwen was defeated was that the generals in the army broke off their generation. Although there is a reason why he kills too much. But he still felt that it seemed that it was because the next generation of generals of the Ming Dynasty had too few talents. So, this time they were all dispatched.

It's always going to be a bit of a practice. Let's see if it can be made.

Of course, the generals who emerged in the aftermath of the martyrdom. Such as Ping'an, Sheng Yong and others. It's all in this battle, but it's just not coming. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang has paid special attention to it.

As for some veterans, Geng Bingwen, Gu Cheng, He Fu and others are all old people used by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood.

Feng Sheng was so cold that he didn't want to speak, while Feng Sheng's nephew Feng Cheng said; "Zheng Guogong's family study, don't you know that before the war, you must first explore the road, and the report below will be reported from below. Who knows if there is anything to hide. And even if the people below have no intention of concealing it. But many people below have limited knowledge, and some problems they can't see. Must see for yourself. In the military discussion before, there were objections on the route of the march, and today I don't have a good look at how to suppress the Marquis of Yingchuan. ”

Fu Youde, as Feng Sheng's deputy, was actually very unconvinced.

Fu Youde pacified Yunnan, and in history, he was crowned the prince of the country. But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted Fu Youde's son Fu Zhong, of course, it is also Fu Zhong's performance, which is worth promoting, but it is a pressure on Fu Youde. But even so, if this fight, Fu Youde is not wrong. Everyone knows that Fu Youde's title to the Duke of the Kingdom is a sure thing.

The biggest successful battle in recent years is Fu Youde's leveling of Yunnan and expanding the land by 3,000 miles. Fu Youde's prestige has increased greatly. In the case that Xu Da was unable to preside over the war in the north due to illness. Feng Sheng's position is not too secure.

Many people have discussed that Feng Sheng, the prince of the country, is mostly because His Majesty values Feng Sheng's brother's score. If Feng Sheng's brother, Feng Guoyong, is still alive, then it is Feng Guoyong who is now the Duke of Guo. And not Feng Sheng. And Fu Youde's Guogong was defeated by himself.

It's one thing to talk about knighthoods, it's another thing to be able to fight.

Therefore, Feng Sheng urgently needs a victory, a big victory, to prove it to the world. Prove it to the imperial court, prove it to Zhu Yuanzhang. He Feng Sheng, and now he is photographed under Xu Da and Tang He, which is definitely not a false name.

Feng Sheng didn't like Chang Mao, but he still liked his nephew Feng Cheng very much. And no matter how much I don't like it, it's also my son-in-law. This time he came out with two people, not just to teach by word and deed. Teach the principles of marching and fighting.

A lot of things have to be really taught by hand, and it's not enough to just read some of the art of war.

Feng Sheng took a breath of cold air and said, "Not only that, but there is another reason, I want to know how cold it is in the Northeast." Although we are attacking next spring. However, the spring in the Northeast is late. Sometimes there is a cold spring, and once the weather changes abruptly, you must also be prepared. I don't think it's cold, it's not going to be cold over the winter here. ”

Every time Feng Sheng said a word, he felt that the heat in his body was being lost. I didn't want to say more.

Zheng Guogong Chang Mao snorted slightly, seemingly disapproving. However, Feng Cheng cared more about Feng Sheng than Chang Mao's son-in-law. Seeing Feng Sheng's situation, he knew that he couldn't leave. Feng Cheng looked into the distance. Found in the wind and snow, there is a shadow of a house. Feng Cheng said; "Uncle, let's go there and rest."

Feng Sheng sighed, only feeling that there was no trace of heat in his body. I also know that the people around me can still persevere. It's just that if he continues like this, I'm afraid he will really get frostbitten. If it's a march to war, stick to what you say. But that doesn't have to be the case anymore.

Feng Sheng said: "It's okay." ”

It's just that he is still a little unhappy in his heart, when he needs the children to take care of him.

After Feng Cheng received the order, he immediately commanded Feng Sheng's hundreds of guards and headed in the direction of the house. When I got closer, I saw a flag in the distance. There is a big flag with the word "Ming" hanging on it, but it is a post station. It's called Shaheyi.

However, this is also normal. The entire Liaodong is a guard house, purely military control, and the original people of Liaodong are also incorporated into the military household.

The whole of Liaodong is a large barracks.

When they met large villages in Liaodong, they generally gathered around post stations, hundreds of households, and thousands of households. If not, that's weird.

In the midst of the wind and snow. Even if you see it from afar. Walking over, it took about half an hour to really arrive at the door of Shaheyi.
