"Liaodong ......" Zhu Su looked at the map and frowned, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Happily, Liaodong is considered a pass after all, and there is no need to risk being chased and killed by Meng Yuan and the Jurchen tribes, and go all the way south to cross the Great Wall. You know, with the existing materials of your own people, I'm afraid they won't last long.

The worry is that the current Liaodong is still not a place that the Ming Zhu family can control...... The land of Liaodong is the territory of the Northern Yuan warlord Naha at this time!

Naha has more than 200,000 armor in his hands, and he has Liaodong to look at half of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the most difficult enemy of the Ming Dynasty today. These people in their own hands, if they encounter Naha's troops, it will not be enough to stuff their teeth.

Naha is not a stupid person, if the three cards of his brothers fall into the hands of this fang, Da Ming may fall into passivity because of this, and suffer a huge loss.

"No wonder this place is so desolate." Dai Sigong stroked his beard, shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Fan asked.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't know something, the land of Liaodong ...... It has always been poisoned by foreign races. Dai Sigong explained. Since the beginning of the Five Dynasties, Liaodong has ceased to be owned by the Han Dynasty. First belonged to Liao, then to Jin, and then to Yuan. ”

"After the ravages of the former Yuan, the people's livelihood withered, and there was not one out of ten people."

"In fact, not only in Liaodong, but also in the north of the Yangtze River, there are many desolate and uninhabited places. It's just that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty has moved more people to reclaim the northern land, and the displaced people in the past can also return to their homeland. ”

But this Liaodong is still ...... Alas. Dai Sigong shook his head.

Zhu Su was silent, thinking of today's deserted village. Judging from various traces, it is obvious that it was once a Han village, but the villagers died or scattered, and finally fell into ruin.

If you look at the leopard in the tube, you can know the desolation of Liaodong today.

"It doesn't matter, Liaodong has been the land of my Han family since ancient times." Zhu Di clenched his hands into fists. "One day, I will definitely take this place back."

"Let's go back to the present." Zhu Su said. He turned his head to look at Shao Biao: "Captain Shao, since you have seen the map near the left of here, you may still remember the path?" ”

"Our number is only a thousand, it's best to find a way to secretly Chen Cang, and don't alarm Naha in Liaodong."

Naha has 200,000 men and horses in his hands, and such a huge gap in combat power is no longer comparable to a mere strategy.

"Back to Your Highness." Shao Biao hugged his fists. "If we want to avoid Naha's army, the best way is for us to only take the mountain road, and go out day and night, to avoid the city."

"Shao can still remember the road, if he can hide from the sky and cross the sea, he can lead the three highnesses to Shanhaiguan!"

Seeing that Shaobiao admitted to remember the road, several people around the bonfire glanced at each other, and they were quite surprised. Fortunately, there is also a veteran brocade guard who has been to Liaodong.

Zhu Su was also secretly glad that if Mao Xiang hadn't sent Shao Biao here, he wouldn't have known how many detours he would have taken. This time, it can be regarded as owing Mao Xiang a favor to the commander of Jinyiwei.

So on the second day, this Ming army began to cast nets on the sea to catch fish, and smoked them into dry food. Seeing that the ships were no longer useful, Zhu Su ordered them to be dismantled and used as fuel and materials. He can't look down on this kind of old warship now, the ability to resist wind and waves at sea is too low, and there is no watertight compartment. Coastal defense is barely used for one use, and if it is used for artillery battles, one cannon will go down, and the designated ship will be destroyed and killed.

Artillery warfare is the mainstream of naval warfare in the future!

After returning to Daming, I still need to think of ideas, and I need to give priority to getting the advanced Galen ship out...... Time is running out, and Zhu Su feels more and more that he must not be trapped in this Liaodong.

When it was nightfall, this Ming army began to advance under the leadership of Shao Biao. Because they were walking on the mountain road at night, even though Zhang Heshao Biao and others were in front to open the way for a few of them, Zhu Su and his party also walked with great difficulty. And because they were going to sea by boat before, the group didn't even have horses for travel at this time. After a few days, the soles of the feet of the group grinded out several blisters.

By the time they began to rest in the mountains and forests during the day, everyone was paralyzed on the ground, unable to walk.

"I can't take a single step." Zhu Fan didn't care about the dirt of the mud at all, and slumped on the ground without any image. "The soles of my feet hurt like pins and needles...... Fifth brother, you can do it well, let people carry your second brother away. ”

"How can this work?" Zhu Su flatly refused. "Second brother, you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you should lead by example at this time."

"Besides, the soldiers are even more tired than we are after the road is broken. Even Lao Rutou, an old man, and the three ladies and their group of women, are all walking on the soles of their feet. ”

"Second brother, you are strong and healthy, how can you let people carry it? That's unseemly! ”

"......" Zhu Fan was speechless for a while, and turned his head to look at Ru Taisu, who was sitting on a piece of bluestone, although his face was pale, he still didn't cry out bitterly. As for the three ladies, they were even more busy, helping the soldiers chop wood and boil water. can only puff up his chest and say, "You're right." I can't compare to an old man and a woman! ”

However, he only lasted for less than a second, and the pride on his face immediately collapsed, and he took off his boots and carried a big foot and said, "But...... It hurts so much. Doctor Dai, can you cure the fifth child? But he also used his magic to save the king! ”

Dai Sigong is undoubtedly the busiest person in the team, and with so many people marching in the jungle, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps. Most of the Taicang Wei and Fuzhou Wei were southern soldiers, and many of them suffered from water and soil adaptation. Zhu Su's body is poor, so he accidentally broke his foot, and now he is squatting down to show Zhu Su. Hearing Zhu Zhang's call, he only turned around and glanced at it, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Qin, bear with it first!" You've got a few blisters......"

"It's not a big deal. When the old man finishes curing the Fifth Highness, just help you find it. ”

"Hurry up then." Zhu Fan shouted, and the soles of his feet were really painful, so he could only wait there with a broken face. At this time, the third lady came over, saw the blisters at the soles of Zhu Zhang's feet, and whispered: "If His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't dislike it, let the people help you break the blisters." ”

"In the past, when I was at home, my father often had blisters, and the girls helped him break them."

"Huh?" Zhu Fan's whole body perked, "You still understand this?" ”

"That's good, that's good, I'll trouble you."

"Hey, Fifth Five, have you noticed?" Seeing that the three ladies over there were helping Zhu Fan pick up blisters, Zhu Di came over.

"The second brother has become more and more approachable these days...... He has always valued his identity, and if he used to be according to his temperament, he would not like it if there were white people talking to him. It is impossible to say the word 'trouble' to a common woman like Sanniangzi. ”

And now, he can be so pleasant. You say, will there be no need to worry about the ending of the second brother? ”

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Fan had no good death in history because of his brutality.

Zhu Su also nodded, and he also found out. Perhaps because of the relationship with the soldiers along the way, Zhu Zhang, who was obviously disdainful of the low-level soldiers and the common people, can now treat these people equally.

Instead of holding his own princely status.

"I hope so. In this way, the second brother can also have a good ending. Looking at Zhu Zhang, who was grinning because of the pain of picking blisters, Zhu Su also had expectations. This second brother really didn't say anything about his younger brother, but he was cruel and tyrannical to the subordinates and looked down on the slave people at the bottom.

If you can change his ending, this time in the enemy territory, it will not be nothing.

"Your Highness, Captain Shao, who went to explore the way, is back." Ahead, the dog came to Zhu Suyu and said.
