On the second day of the first lunar month, the ice cars of the entire Peiping Province poured out.

The drivers drove all kinds of ice cars, ice beds, and ice rows, starting from Beiping City, Daxing, Shunyi, Changping, Fangshan, Sanhe, Jizhou and even further Zunhua and Xinglong, along the Yongding River, Chaobai River, Juma River and other large and small rivers, to the same destination - Tongzhou!

Before sunset that day, all the 12,000 coachmen who had been recruited were in place, knowing that Zunhua and Xinglong were nearly 300 miles away from Tongzhou...... The drivers don't even have to get up too early, they go out in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, which shows the amazing speed of the ice truck.

Only the General's Mansion can gather so many soldiers and civilians who can skate in such a short time.

Because it was Xu Da who single-handedly recovered Youyan, and then stationed in Beiping for 18 years, he personally built a border defense system that was also a soldier and a civilian, and a border defense system that integrated soldiers and civilians, and brought peace to this land for 18 years, and his status in the minds of the military and civilians in Beiping was like a god.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen only needed to tell them that this was the general's last wish before he fell into a coma, which was enough to make the grievances of the soldiers and civilians in Beiping who came to the call disappear. Coupled with his best red envelope to open the way, it is no surprise that the drivers are full of enthusiasm.

They loaded the carpenters with the planks they had unraveled, as well as the tents, firewood, and rations allocated by King Yan from the army.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, 12,000 coachmen and 2,000 craftsmen, under the personal leadership of the six princes, drove large and small ice carts along the frozen canal and went south.

The drivers drove the car with their guns in their hands, speeding on the ice, chasing me, and the sound of happy whistling was endless.

"You can actually eat hot pot in the ice car, this is too enjoyable, right?!" Zhu Zhen was amazed while soaking the finest 'cucumber strips'.

Fortunately, they are all used to it......

There are cabin-like compartments on the ice bed. The carriage is made of sandalwood, it is square, the top is a four-corner heavy eaves, the four corners are decorated with combs, and there is a chimney on the top to exhaust smoke.

As a prince, Zhu Zhen's riding conditions are naturally a little better than them. He sat on a bed of ice that was so gorgeous that it could be called luxurious, or rather an iceboat would be more appropriate.

"The main thing is that it's stable, don't look so fast, it's more stable than taking a boat." Zhu Di prefers to go to the brain, because the meat is thick, and it is very refreshing to eat in large gulps. He took a bite of his head and said proudly: "How about it, if the fourth brother doesn't follow, you can think of eating hot pot in an ice car?" ”

Because the head of this ice bed is slightly upturned like the bow of a ship, and the base is huge, the size of a medium-sized painting boat, there are eight chauffeurs standing on either side of the car with their guns in hand.

"Yes, yes, you can eat meat wherever you follow the fourth brother." Zhu Zhen nodded happily, eating a cucumber strip with extremely delicate chopsticks, and felt that today's mutton shabu was particularly fresh, and it was really important to eat it there.

In this way, the cold wind became more and more biting, and the hot breath exhaled turned into a layer of white frost in the blink of an eye, covering his face. Coupled with the help of the snow foam that came to his face, he hung ice ballast on his beard and eyebrows.

The interior of the carriage is very spacious, and not only is there a stove, but there is even a brass hot pot on the stove......

Of course, the ingredients themselves are not ambiguous. There are only two cucumber strips on a sheep, and they can't cut a plate...... This was his tenth plate of the day, but he still hadn't eaten enough, so he asked the cook to cut another ten plates.

Waiting for the next wave of meat to be cut, Zhu Zhen asked with a smile: "No, I said fourth brother, don't you want to investigate the case?" Why did you go south with me? ”

"It's not time for trial." Zhu Di smiled slyly: "I have to look at the wind direction first, whether it is a limited check, or a check to the end, do you say?" ”

"Makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded, he already had a premonition that the terrible Guo Huan case was about to begin. "So you use the excuse of transporting grain with me, and come out first to delay the time?"

"It's a little interesting, but the main thing is that I'm afraid you'll be lonely." Zhu Di smiled: "Besides, brother, I myself also want to come out to breathe." ”

Saying that, he said a little sourly: "Do you think we are like you, and we will go back to Beijing if we want to?" Go wherever you want? ”

"Ah, isn't it?" Zhu Zhen was a little surprised: "I thought they were the same as me." ”

"Originally, it was the same, but then my father issued a special decree and re-established the rules for us, the first one is that the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief without reason." Zhu Di sighed and said, "Is it necessary to guard against us like this?" ”

"I think you go back to Beijing too often, so let's build a vassal kingdom with peace of mind." The sixth guessed.

He sighed again, "Building a feudal kingdom? Local affairs are under the jurisdiction of the government, and the royal government cannot interfere at all. Zhu Di said depressedly: "You said that no matter how many people are in disobedience, anyway, I can't really do anything to others." ”

"The fourth brother doesn't want to cause trouble, otherwise you look at Lao Qi, who is disobedient and directly let people be caught in the palace to clean up, and even the peace has been given to him, which one in the province dares not to listen to him?" Zhu Zhen smiled: "Of course he did too much." ”

"Yes, sometimes I want to clean up those guys, but your sister-in-law always stops ......" Zhu Di sighed again and said: "She said that after the war is over, it must be the world of civil officials, which no one can change." The vassal king must not have a grudge against the civil officials, otherwise he will definitely be unlucky in the future. ”

"Sister-in-law is really insightful." Zhu Zhen praised from the bottom of his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Then we will let the war never end?" ”

"You don't mean to raise your own self, do you?" The fourth couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"What do you think?" Zhu Zhen said speechlessly: "Fourth brother, you know, I have never been interested in the war in the north. ”

"Ahh South, you say? Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that the sixth child had similar thoughts to himself. "Aren't all the battles in the south over?"

"It's still early." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Last autumn, Brother Wen Ying laid down Bagu, which can be regarded as recovering the entire territory of Myanmar. But on the Indochina Peninsula, there are also Ayutthaya, Annam, divination, Laos...... So many countries didn't surrender. There are endless countries and lands beyond the peninsula waiting to be conquered......"

"Really?! That's great! Zhu Di excitedly put down another plate of meat, and said happily while sandwiching meat for the sixth child: "When I saw the Yunnan war report a few years ago, I thought the battle in the south was over." I don't feel good in my heart, why do you patronize your godbrother and forget your brother? ”

"How could you have forgotten?" Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "I can keep the honor of recovering Annan for you!"

"Good! Then let's make a decision! Zhu Di excitedly toasted the sixth child with a glass of wine: "As soon as the battle here is over, I will immediately request to move the seal, and if I am not the king of Yan, I will be the king of Yue!" You must not let Brother Wen Ying snatch Annan again. ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, it won't." Zhu Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "I have asked my father to make Brother Wenying the Duke of Burma, and I am ready to let him work hard in Burma." The rest is left to the brothers. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Di happily opened the window and shouted outside: "Sons, speed up, don't miss the army!" ”
