"Lao Sheng, you've been out for a long time this time, it's been three months, right?"

"Two months and twenty-one days."

Sheng Chong sighed, he was a soldier of the Liangwang Mansion, and he also had a formal official position [the Governor of the Palace, the trial office, the trial was positive], but the time in Lantian was less than half of the time, and he was a little incompetent.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has always had the right of priority to transfer and expropriate the officials of the prince's palace, and the prince must agree unconditionally.

For example, this time Sheng Chong was just escorting Wang Anchun, but he didn't expect to be captured by Feng Sheng and enter the Great Wall to defend the Northern Yuan people.

"Lao Sheng, did the Beiyuan people really come in? And did they use the plague? ”

After a brief greeting, Zhu Gaoxuan went directly to the topic.

"The Northern Yuan people are just outside the Great Wall of Chen Bing, and they don't dare to really start a war, what they want is Nalan Sumin given by His Royal Highness to His Royal Highness the King of Han."

"They really used the plague as well, but there was a royal physician who found it in time and didn't cause many casualties."

Sheng Chong then gave a detailed account of the three-month-long confrontation between the two armies.

It turned out that a month after Nalan Sumin was arrested, the Beiyuan side found that the pair had not returned, and began to send scouts to look for them.

In the end, I don't know if it was the people from Xi'an Mansion who returned the news left by Nalan Sumin, and the Northern Yuan Tartars confirmed the news that Nalan Sumin was arrested.

After that, they also used the cattle and sheep carcasses with plague in Yan'an Mansion and Yulinwei.

The result is a lose-lose situation.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was Feng Sheng and Fu Xueli from the Tai Hospital, who used conventional methods to prevent and control the plague, although it was effective, but more than 300 people died.

After Wang Anchun arrived, the mortality rate plummeted, and when the plague was eliminated, more than 400 people died.

The Northern Yuan side was relatively disabled, although the plague was released by them on their own initiative, but because their prevention and control efforts were lower than those of the Ming Dynasty, they caused thousands of deaths.

"Hahaha...... That's great! It is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you can't live for your own sins.

It's just a little less dead. ”

Hearing the thousands of deaths of the Northern Yuan Tartars, Zhu Gaoxuan couldn't help laughing.

"Then why did the Tartars suddenly retreat?"

"It's not sudden, it is said that it has begun to snow in Mobei, and if they don't retreat in time, once the snow falls heavily, they will be completely buried outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, the imperial court also made concessions. ”

"Concessions? What concessions? ”

Hearing that the imperial court would give in, Zhu Gaoxuan was puzzled, how could he give in with Zhu Yuanzhang's rigid character?

And also to give in when the Ming Dynasty clearly had the upper hand?

Sheng Chong's face was also a little gloomy, this time even he was a little incomprehensible and unwilling, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"This time, His Royal Highness the King of Han suffered a little loss, and he returned that Nalan Sumin to Beiyuan."

"What? My second brother is willing to return that woman to Beiyuan? That's not his character. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan was even more surprised, whether it was actual contact or historical records, Zhu Fan has never been a good-tempered person, and he would suffer such a loss?

That's unreasonable.

"Ahem...... That Beiyuan woman is not finished. ”

It seemed that he had guessed Zhu Gaoxuan's thoughts, and Sheng Chong coughed and explained.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxuan was a little relieved.

"Oh...... That makes sense.

Anything else? ”

"It's gone, the army of the imperial court has also returned to the station, everyone can live in peace and have a good winter this winter."

"Really? I hope so. ”

Hearing Sheng Chong say that they would be fine, Zhu Gaoxuan inexplicably felt a sense of shock, and it seemed that something bad would happen.

"Lao Sheng, since you are back, let's reopen the recruitment plan that was shelved before, it just so happens that the houses of the people of Lantian have been built, and the rest is the harvest of alfalfa, which can be handed over to the old and weak to complete."

"Why doesn't Your Highness let Liu Li take charge, and wait for the lower official to come back?"

Sheng Chong was a little strange, how could Zhu Gaoxuan be so procrastinating?

"Liu Li may not be weak in martial arts or bad in handling affairs, but his leadership ability is not good, and he has no patience for training."

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head with a wry smile, how could he not have thought about it, but Liu Li's personality was a little impatient, and he had the habit of beating and scolding the soldiers under him.

If you lead a veteran soldier in battle, he may be a fierce general, but in terms of training, even if Zhu Gaoxuan is a novice, he can see that he is not suitable.

On the contrary, Zhang Jun can do it, but it's a pity that Zhang Jun was sent by him to respond to the sky, and now he is escorting the second batch of prisoners in the [Guo Huan case], together with the prisoners who impeached him before, to the northwest.

So it was delayed.

"I see, then the lower officials will choose people now?"

"It's not necessary to choose people, at the beginning of the month, Liu Li picked people, these days should be on the wall of Lantian City, you go to Liu Li to ask for someone."

"Okay, the next official will retire first."

After explaining the matter of military training, Zhu Gaoxuan asked Cao Xing for a leave of absence, preparing to go out to see the construction of the people's houses.

Hearing Sheng Chong say that it was snowing in Beiyuan, he also remembered that it was already the winter of Yichou, although it had not snowed in Lantian yet, but the temperature was close to freezing.

Cao Xing, who was about to teach Zhu Gaoxuan a spear, did not refuse when he heard this, but just proposed: "Does Your Highness want to go down to the village?" Let the lower officer accompany you. ”

"It's fine. That's the magic general Cao. ”

"Your Highness is gracious."

The more he gets along with Zhu Gaoxuan, the more Cao Xing and other military generals and teachers have a good impression of him.

Especially after Wang Anchun came back, Zhu Gaoxuan would pull Wang Anchun to let Wang Anchun adjust the body of several generals and Zhuge Xuan according to some experience in his previous life.

The health of Zhu Gaoxuan's seven masters is obviously much better than when they first came to Lantian City, and their good impression of Zhu Gaoxuan in their hearts is constantly deepening.

So when he heard that Zhu Gaoxuan was going out of the city to a nearby village, Cao Xing took the initiative to take on the task of guarding.

……

At the end of the day, it was already dawn, that is, it was more than eight o'clock.

The emerald green of the plains has been reduced by half, and it is already a cross between dark green and withered yellow.

The weeds are basically starting to wither and yellow, and on the withered leaves, there is still a ring of crystal white, which is the frost of early winter.

The dark green color is a continuous patch of alfalfa, and there are drops of crystal dew on the fat leaves, which makes it delicious to look at.

Treading ...... Treading ......

Two fast horses step over the dead leaves, trampling them into the dirt and becoming part of the dirt; The green alfalfa leaves, on the other hand, can slowly raise their heads and stand up again.

At this moment, a young voice was immediately heard.

"The alfalfa should also be harvested, and if it is not harvested, it will freeze."

I don't know if those alfalfa who have re-erected will fall down again when they hear this.

"After the planting of alfalfa in the Lantian Plain for two seasons, as well as the deep ploughing of the big plough rake, and the previous flushing, the soil has finally recovered its strength, and the Shen family can be notified to send grain seeds early next morning."
