"Expedition to the West?"

Geng Bingwen was shocked.

"Cao Guogong, we are just ordered to defend the Timurid thief army, how can we ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Geng Bingwen stopped his mouth and stared at Li Jinglong in a daze.

In Li Jinglong's hand, I don't know when an edict has appeared!

"If it's just to defend the Timurid thief army, with General Geng Lao here, why does Your Majesty need to send me here?"

"He Timur thief is not good to stay in the West, but he doesn't know what kind of dog guts he has eaten, and he dares to come and offend my Ming!

Since he dares to go east, then I can go west, and I will definitely make the Timurid thief pay!"

Hearing this, Geng Bingwen's face gradually flushed, and he said excitedly.

"What Cao Guogong said is extremely true, just the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty dare to offend my Ming Dynasty!

This time, no matter what their reason is, they will have to pay the price!

In this expedition to the west, the old man is willing to be the deputy general!"

Xu Huizu's eyes flashed, and he asked directly.

A group of Ming cavalry, mixed with some Tatars, pursued and killed some Mongolian cavalry.

「……」

"Where!"

"Very good!"

Li Jinglong carried 40,000 elite troops, of which 30,000 were Beijing generals.

The scout replied, "General Hui, it's right there in the Yili River!"

On the way, I don't know what accidents will happen.

You're old, let's stay in Daming honestly, I don't want to come back with your corpse!"

Xu Huizu was a little puzzled.

"How many soldiers are there?"

"General Qiqi, the last general has found the place where Timur's army is!"

Geng Bingwen was immediately furious.

"Herald, raise the bill!"

At the same time.

After Hamiwei, he took two thousand Hamiwei with him!

"Aren't you mistaken?"

"Old General Geng, you are already seventy years old this year. Your Majesty has allowed you to come to guard the northwest of my Ming Dynasty, or for the sake of your good health.

Hearing this, Xu Huizu, Liu Sheng, Song Sheng and other generals were suddenly full of surprise.

Xu Huizu laughed loudly, "You have made a great contribution this time, these Timur thieves have traveled thousands of miles to send me so many cattle, sheep, camels, grain and grass baggage, I can't wait to be sorry for these thieves!"

After passing the Chijin Mongolian Guard, he took away two thousand Chijin Mongolian guards.

A group of Ming cavalry galloped past and rushed towards the black army.

led 50,000 troops, went out of the Hexi corridor, and chased in the direction of Timur's army.

"Alas......

The scout thought for a moment and said again, "In addition, the last general and others found that those Timurids were carrying a large number of cattle, sheep, camels, and grain and grass!"

A day later.

"Whoa!"

The scout said, "Returning to the general, the last general thinks that those grains, grasses, cattle, sheep and camels are enough for a million troops to go on the expedition!"

Hundreds of miles north of the city of Ganzhou, there were also some battles.

The scout hurriedly replied, "Back to the general, the last general couldn't believe it at first. The last general and the others have been counting many times before they dare to confirm it!"

"How can Cao Guogong look down on the old man so much?"

However, the country of Timur is thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty, not only to cross the Tianshan Mountains, but also to cross the desert!

In addition, you are ordered to garrison Ganzhou, and when you go back to reply to Your Majesty, how can you go west?"

Li Jinglong was unmoved, "Old general, don't want this, no matter what, I can't take you to the west."

"Returning to the general, about 200,000!"

In addition, there are all the generals of the Shenji Battalion and the 5,000 Lower Battalion, who left the Shaanxi Xingdu Division and went all the way to the west.

Also, in the depths of the steppe.

"An army of millions, oxen, sheep, camels, and grain and grass?"

Xu Huizu again

Asked.

"Massive?"

Li Jinglong looked stunned, and looked at Geng Bingwen helplessly.

As one by one the generals entered the big tent, Xu Huizu gave orders one after another.

Half an hour later.

The army marched westward!

Two days later.

The army of the Northern Expedition caught up with Timur's army and fought for two days.

Timur's army left behind countless corpses, cattle, sheep, camels, and countless grains and grasses, and fled in frenzy.

The Northern Expedition army is in hot pursuit!

Daming Jingshi.

A fast ride rushed directly into Yingtian City from the west of the city.

jumped off his horse at the gate of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, shouting that Ganzhou was eight hundred miles urgent!

Ran straight in.

A moment later.

The governor on duty in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies hurriedly ran into the palace with an urgent letter.

"Ganzhou 800 miles expedited?"

Zhu Di took the letter and read it.

"Dog guts!"

After reading it, Zhu Di was immediately furious, "Timur thieves really dare to attack my Ming Frontier!"

"Your Majesty is angry, with Cao Guogong and the Marquis of Changxing guarding Ganzhou, Timur's thieves will definitely not be allowed to step into my Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Zengshou said with a solemn face.

Zhu Di sneered, "Just a Timurid thief, how can you attack my Daming?"

Then, he asked, "No news has come back from the Northern Expedition?"

"Back to Your Majesty, at this time, the army of the Northern Expedition has already entered the depths of the desert, and the news has been transmitted.

However, Wei Chen dared to guess, and it was too soon!"

"Hmm!"

……

As the weather gradually cooled down, Guo An began to like to lie on a chair again, sit in front of the large glass window, bask in the sun, and look at the pond outside.

Golden carp, big and fat, carefree playing around under the lotus leaves.

"Your second child has been out with the Northern Expedition army for so long, and no news has been sent back, so you are not in a hurry at all?"

Zhu Di also sat in the same posture as Guo An, half-lying on the chair, holding a teacup in one hand, and taking a sip from time to time.

Guo An is very confident, "Weichen believes that Wei Guogong and Liu Sheng, they are just Wara, and they are not my Ming opponents at all!"

"Outside Hami, there were only 200,000 Timurid troops. In this case, there must be other armies of Timur who should collude with Navala!"

Zhu Di said again, "So, you don't have to worry?"

"Your Majesty, it's useless for Weichen to worry!"

Guo An sighed slightly, "On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly!"

Then, he glanced at Zhu Di and comforted him: "Your Majesty, rest assured, my big fire weapons and ammunition are several times ahead of Timur's army.

As long as their strength does not exceed my Ming army several times, they can't help my Ming army at all!"

Zhu Di suddenly scolded angrily, "You Guo thief, you actually think that we are not worried about our army?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty misunderstood, Weichen never had this intention!"

Guo An hurriedly explained with a chuckle.

You Zhu Di are not worried, how can you have the leisure to come to this king's mansion and talk to this king?

Zhu Di glared at Guo An fiercely, then stretched out his legs and lay down completely.

"In the past, the king of Shunde didn't worry about his second son, so let's not worry about it!"

Saying that, Zhu Di couldn't help but look outside the house.

"You Guo Ningyi will enjoy it the most!"

Guo An said lightly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's praise, the motivation of Weichen's craftsmanship comes from the yearning for a better life!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but slowly turn his head and look at Guo An.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Guo Qing thinks it is now

Life here isn't good enough?"

"Not enough!"

Guo An said bluntly, "The cement straight road has not been paved throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the train and railway have not been paved yet?

In addition, if you send a message, you won't be able to come back for a month!

Your Majesty, it is now night, and the lights and candles are still too dim.

Now, there are still various epidemics in my Ming Dynasty.

Also, those delicacies......

"I have never seen such a greedy person as Guo Qing in all the history books of the previous dynasty!"

After listening, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched, and his face was full of weirdness.

"Maybe no one has such ambitions as Weichen!"

Guo An sighed slightly, with a look of loneliness in the world.

Zhu Di was helpless.

After a while, Zhu Di said again: "Guo Qing, Guo Shen's kid is also an adult, so he can ask Xianning for a kiss!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Tomorrow, Weichen will let Guo Shen go to inquire about the tyrant, and let Shen'er start asking Princess Xianning for marriage!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he talked about some things with Guo An leisurely again, and Zhu Di left satisfied.

And at night.

After Guo Shen came back from the test field, Guo An called Guo Shen over and gave an explanation.

Day 2.

Guo Shen went to the experimental field and asked for advice.

Guo An began to prepare for the courtship.

A few more days passed.

There is an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Ganzhou.

"The army of Timur outside the Hamiwei has retreated?"

Seeing the words written in the newspaper, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Exactly, Cao Guogong has also chased after him with an army of 50,000!"

Below, Xu Zengshou, Li Zengzhi and others were also full of surprise and hope.

Expedition to the West!

They want to too!

Zhu Di didn't continue to say more, but changed the topic, "Is there any news of the Northern Expedition?"

Xu Zengshou arched his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no news of the Northern Expedition yet!"

"Send someone to pay attention!"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Zengshou and several people hurriedly responded.

A few days later.

Guo An took his son Guo Shen and asked Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to marry Princess Xianning.

Zhu Diyun!

Congratulations to the Manchu Dynasty honorables, civil and military officials!

It was a few days later.

Finally, the news of the Northern Expedition came back.

After reading it, Zhu Di's face was overjoyed.

"Varat victory!"

"The Northern Expeditionary Army attacked the 160,000-strong army of the four major tribes of Warat in one fell swoop on the grasslands of the lower reaches of the Selenga River.

Seventy thousand enemies were killed, and 40,000 were captured, and there were 40,000 old and weak women and children, as well as cattle, sheep, horses, and camels!"

"The Warat chieftains, Mengge Timur, Mahamu, Taiping, and the four Vulture Polos fled westward with the remnants.

The Northern Expedition army pursues the victory!

Half a month later, 60,000 enemies were killed, and the leaders of Warat, Mengge Timur, Mahamu, Taiping, and Blupo Polo, surrendered with the remnants......

"From the mouth of the bald Polo, I learned that the wolf son of Timur had ambitions, and he wanted to march eastward with the strength of the whole country.

Its 400,000 army, divided into two routes, one led by Timur's grandson Hari Sultan, united with Hamiwei and other Kansai Seven Guards, ready to attack our Ming Dynasty all the way from the Hexi Corridor.

As for Timur, he personally led an army of 200,000 to the east, crossed the Altai Mountains to the east, entered Mobei, colluded with the Warats, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty such as Chagatai and the Ilkhanate, and wanted to attack my Ming from Hala and Lin!

However, Weichen and others were lucky enough to defeat the four Warat divisions in one fell swoop, and the Timurid division was still near the Altai Mountains.

Weichen wanted to lead the army of the Northern Expedition, take advantage of the victory to defeat the Timurid department, and then turn back to Hami

Guard, and the defenders of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division flanked the army led by the Sultan of Hari before and after......

"Good!"

"Wei Guogong really deserves to be the son of the King of Zhongshan!"

"That Timurid country is so wolf-like, Your Majesty's strategy for the westward expedition is indeed correct!"

"This time, I will definitely arrest that Timur and ask me for the guilt!"

"Just the remnants of the Northern Yuan, dare to offend my Daming?"

「……」

With the good news of the Northern Expedition coming back, Zhu Di's whole person was suddenly refreshed.

And the whole court was also full of joy.

"Guo Qing, do you know why the Timurid army suddenly retreated?"

On the palace of Shunde County, Zhu Di asked with a puzzled expression.

"Back to Your Majesty, isn't it that Timur couldn't bear the fatigue of running all the way, and died of illness at the foot of Altay Mountain?"

"Timur died of illness?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of weirdness.

After being stunned for a moment, he smiled freely, "Guo Qing's joke is wonderful!"

Guo An also smiled slightly, "What if Weichen guesses it, that Timur old thief is a Mongolian barbarian, who has not been able to maintain health since he was a child, and has been fighting all year round, so he must have many secret injuries on his body.

Now, at the age of seventy, such an old man still wants to lead a large army and travel thousands of miles in a vain attempt to capture my Ming Dynasty and restore the grandeur of the Mongol Empire!

He is not afraid of being strangled to death, or being eaten by my Ming Dynasty......

"What Guo Qing said is reasonable!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I hope that Timur's thief really dies in the army."

In this way, Timur's army was bound to be in chaos.

And the armies of Cao Guogong and Wei Guogong will definitely be able to defeat Timur's army in one fell swoop!"

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

After talking about the war in the northwest, Zhu Di asked about the train again.

"Guo Qing, when will the train be cast?"

Guo An said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the train is too long, if the casting is to be completed, the steel workshop needs to be expanded, and the train track must be paved outside the steel workshop.

Therefore, it will take another year or two.

However, your Majesty may be relieved, and on the day when the construction of the train and the railway is completed, the train will inevitably be cast!"

"It's us who are worried, your Shunde County King is more worried about these things than us!"

Zhu Di smiled faintly and didn't say much.

……

"Your Highness, the fleet going to Guozhou has already set off!"

Guo Ang respectfully reported to Guo Anyu.

"Now, Guozhou's food has been gathered!"

Guo An put down the pen in his hand and asked slowly.

"Exactly!"

Guo Ang replied again.

Guo An asked again, "The good breeds and utensils they need have not been left behind, right?"

Guo Ang said again: "Back to Your Highness, nothing has been left behind!"

"That's good!"

Guo An nodded reassuringly.

Guo Ang thought of something again, and said, "Since the land in Guozhou is so fertile and there are so many mines, why doesn't Your Highness recruit more craftsmen and send them to Guozhou?"

Guo An glanced at Guo Ang and explained, "Even if Guo Zhou is built well, Guo Zhou is tens of thousands of miles away according to my Ming Dynasty, and our foundation is still in Daming, and it is still in Guojia Village, Shunde Prefecture!"

"Moreover, there is only one guard guarding Guozhou, if it attracts thieves to covet it, the government will also be beyond the reach of the whip, and it will not be able to take care of it, so let's develop slowly for the time being!"

"Your Highness is wise!"
