It was when the Ming army set out for Annam...... Sailors travel to the South and Western ...... When merchants and merchant ships went to the South and Western Seas......

Outside the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, outside the originally green and lush grassland, a wooden stake was erected at some point, and the stake was smeared with some pungent paint.

This wooden stake, boundless, divides the whole prairie into two worlds, half of which is full of vitality and lush grass; Half of it was desolate, with only a few dry grass roots, bare and glaring.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the little clods of dirt began to throb.

A moment later, at the end of the wasteland, a group of Tatars, dressed in tatters and riding thin horses, slowly emerged.

Soon, when these Tatars saw the endless wooden stakes, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, the grass behind the stake was noticed.

Suddenly, one by one, their eyes widened and they were pleasantly surprised.

"Green ...... Green grass, grassland, woo woo...... It's the prairie and we're finally out ......"

"Quick, go back and report to the chief, we are finally out, and no more clansmen will starve to death!"

"It's out, it's out, woo woo woo ......"

As a few Tatars ran out in a frenzy, the remaining group of Tatars, unable to hold back any longer, rode their horses to the stake.

Dismounted directly, knelt on the ground, and directly nibbled on the green grass with his mouth, even eating more crazy than the horses on the side.

"Tatars?"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded next to several Tatars.

These Tatars were startled, and hurriedly raised their heads, and at some point they were already standing with a group of Ming border troops.

A moment later.

The two border troops, riding war horses, galloped towards Ningxia Mansion.

"Report!"

"Qi Wei Guogong, the Tatars have come out!"

"How many people are coming out?"

"Back to Wei Guogong, it seems that there are only 150,000!"

"What?"

In the big tent, Xu Huizu and the generals were all full of surprise.

"How did the Tatars come out so little?"

"Back to Wei Guogong, I heard that the locust plague has been going north, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, but the Tatars have nothing to do with the locusts.

Their pastures were almost completely eaten by locusts, and many horses, cattle and sheep starved to death.

Even the meadows of the Warats in the north have been eaten by locusts and turned into wasteland!

The Warats believed that the Tatars had brought disaster to them, so they plundered and ......killed the Tatars while they were weak."

“……”

Xu Huizu and the generals couldn't help but be stunned.

"What a pitiful Tatar!"

Immediately, they were all excited.

"I didn't expect that some locusts are so easy to use!"

"If I had known this, I should have poured out locusts on these Tatars a long time ago......"

"That's it!"

Xu Huizu's expression was solemn, and he shouted to the group of soldiers: "Don't look at the Tatars There are only 150,000 people left, but they all fled from the grassland, and they are already hungry and red-eyed.

It would be a disaster for these Tatars to riot.

Er quickly reorganized the army and ordered the surrounding city checkpoints to be on guard.

In addition, all the food prepared for these Tatars will be sent out of the city......"

"The last will obey! ……”

With an order, the entire Ningxia Mansion suddenly became busy.

The entire Ningxia, Liangzhou and other important towns have been waiting for half a month.

The Tatars finally came out.

Half an hour later.

Xu Huizu and a group of border army generals led an army of 20,000 to welcome 150,000 Tatar refugees.

Behind him, there was a cart of grain.

It wasn't until the Tatars got out of the wasteland, knelt on the ground and ate grass for a long time, they were addicted, and walked forward for more than ten miles, only to see the army of Xu Huizu and others to greet them.

Moment.

All the Tatars had a drastic change in their faces.

However, with the constraints of nobles such as Ma'erhaza, Arutai, and Yesuntai, these Tatars did not turn around and flee into the desert behind them.

And after seeing the food and water prepared for them by the Ming people, these Tatars were a little relieved.

When the Tatars rested outside the city for a day, Xu Huizu and other generals took the Tatars to the grassland arranged for them.

As for the construction of the city?

Without waiting for Xu Huizu to take the initiative to speak, Tatar nobles such as Arutai and Yesuntai couldn't hold back anymore and came to the door by themselves.

Thereupon.

A huge construction of the city began outside the Daming Pass.

made the entire Ming businessmen and officials look surprised.

These barbarians, how can they be so naïve?

Do they think they have built a city for nothing, and when they live in it, the city will be theirs?

One way or another.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, as well as the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, listened to the reports of Ningxia Wei and Liangzhou Wei, and their faces were full of joy.

For the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is a city, it must be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or the unbreakable kind.

……

Outside the harbor of Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangdong, hundreds of huge sea ships are moored, covering the sky and the sun.

"The last general has seen Cao Guogong, he has seen Dinghai Hou, generals!"

A partial general under the command of Xiping Hou Musheng, with a few generals and officials, greeted Li Jinglong, Guo An and others.

"Please also ask Cao Guogong to forgive his sins, the Hou Ye has the emperor's order, leading an army of 50,000, and he must not leave Yunnan lightly!"

"It's okay!"

Li Jinglong laughed heartily, "The Marquis of Xiping has a heavy responsibility, so he can't leave Yunnan easily!" ”

Seeing this, the general breathed a sigh of relief.

Their marquis had a very good relationship with the Shouchun county king, and when the county king was demoted from the crown prince to the county king, their marquis was frightened for a long time.

Especially.

Last year, when Jinyiwei and Shenji Battalion thoroughly inspected Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places.

Roll the heads of people killed in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places.

This year, His Majesty not only sent Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly, but Annan also had an accident!

Their marquis was even more frightened.

Kunming, Mufu.

Xiping Hou Mu Sheng stared closely at the lieutenant below and asked, "Neither Cao Guogong nor Dinghai Hou have any words of questioning?" ”

The captain is also an old man of Xiping Hou, and he understands Mu Sheng's worries, so he shakes his head again and again.

"Back to the Hou Ye, neither Cao Guogong nor Dinghai Hou has any displeasure!"

"That's it!"

Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and let the captain go down.

On the side, a person who looked like a master suddenly came up.

"Hou Ye, rest assured, Jinyi Wei has thoroughly investigated Yunnan twice, and His Majesty has not touched Hou Ye. In this way, Your Majesty will not anger Mu Mansion! ”

Mu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes, in this way, my Mu family should really be fine!" ”

The master continued to look worried, "However, Master Hou, that Duke Cao actually let Master Hou lead an army of 50,000 to attack Shenglong City from the direction of Yun'an Mansion, and they only have 30,000 troops, so they want to attack Shenglong City directly from Siming Mansion!"

And although the capital of Annam was moved from Thang Long City to the western capital of Thanh Hoa Province!

However, Shenglong City is still heavily guarded, do you want to inform Cao Guogong and Dinghai Hou about this matter? ”
