In the evening, the king of Su and the king of Han went to a city to rest. The name of this city is Tianwu City, the city is three miles long from east to west, two miles wide from north to south, because it is the first city on the straight road after going out of the jade gate pass, and it is still in the place where the water and grass are relatively abundant, and it has not entered the desert, so it is built extremely strictly and completely.

There are barracks, government offices, and markets in the city. Although it is not a big city, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs.

The king of Han lived in the official office and personally made a round. Seeing a well in the outer courtyard, King Han personally fetched a bucket of water, then squatted on the ground, scooped a scoop and drank two sips, and then handed it to the guard commander: "You taste it, it's quite sweet."

I used to think that Gansu was so barren, but I didn't expect that I could get by after a trip in person. ”

The commander said with a smile: "That is His Highness can endure hardships, and he is willing to take the lead, and if he is replaced by someone else, he can't stand it for a long time." ”

King Han smiled and waved his hand: "My brothers can endure hardships, and before my father, he personally dug trenches every day, making him look like a clay man." Compared with our father, we are already pampered. ”

Hearing this, the commanding envoys hurriedly echoed and praised the emperor.

The next three months were peaceful.

At the beginning of June, Cao Guogong led a large army to finally enter Hami.

The people of Hami ate pot pulp to welcome the king.

The country of Hami was originally a vassal loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and its king was canonized as the King of Loyalty by the Ming Dynasty.

For several years, King Zhongshun was controlled by the combined forces of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire, and the people of Hami were captured and oppressed.

Now that Cao Guogong has led the army, the people of Hami are like a long drought and a rainy day.

Under the guidance of the people of Hami, 150,000 troops approached the royal city and surrounded three queyi. Left one side for the defenders of the city to escape.

In the city, there were old ministers of the king of Zhongshun who sneaked out and reported to the camp of the Ming army. Only then did Cao Guogong learn that the Timurid Empire and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had fallen out, and the Timurid Imperial cavalry in the city had been withdrawn one after another at the beginning of the year.

In order to attack Kashgar with all his might, the new Great Khan of Eastern Chagatai transferred more than half of the cavalry stationed in Hami.

Today, there are only more than 10,000 cavalry of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the city.

Moreover, the people of Hami have long had the heart to resist these foreign invading enemies. In recent years, the Eastern Chagatai cavalry has easily refused to go out, and only has fun in the city.

Cao Guogong surrounded the city and did not attack. King Su and King Han in the back, and then the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Duoyanwei arrived one after another.

Seeing that the Ming army was so powerful, the cavalry of the Eastern Chagatai took advantage of the night to go out of the city and fled. Even the King of Zhongshun and his dependents were left behind by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army followed closely behind, capturing Turpan and continuing westward, occupying Bosten Lake and controlling the Kaidu River upstream and the Peacock River downstream.

Then the Ming army stopped and began to build a straight road from Hami to Turpan and then to Bosten Lake.

……

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

When he got up early in the morning, Zhu Qiyu got the military report from Cao Guogong, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Oh, I finally knocked down Hami and Turpan." And Cao Guogong was very stable, and when he knocked down Bosten Lake, he stopped.

Then take a few years and eat away slowly.

We're not in a hurry, we can hit Ili sooner or later. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked, "What is Bosten Lake?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Bosten Lake is a super lake that is more than 100 miles long from east to west, and it is a freshwater lake. Several rivers originate from the Tien Shan Mountains and feed into this lake. There is only one Peacock River flowing out of the lake.

The Peacock River has no tributaries and flows directly south into Lop Nur.

The lake is rich in a variety of freshwater fish and abundant resources.

I plan to build a city here, and then overhaul water conservancy, plant trees, and build a super oasis, which will become an important fulcrum of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions. ”

After a slight pause, Zhu Qiyu added: "I want to build a big city by the lake, name it Jingtai City, and seal a son as King Jing to guard this place." Wait for Ili to be captured, and then another Yi king. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Indeed, a dynasty has been inherited for three hundred years is a lot, but a big city has the opportunity to be passed down for thousands of years and prosper." The husband built a big city named after his own era, which can be passed down for a long time. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Our army has occupied a foothold in Hami, Turpan, and Bosten Lake, and Ili will not be able to hold it anyway, and the rest is a matter of time."

My war is over, so I'll hand it over to Zhu Wenfang. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's have a good reunion." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "You discuss and discuss, a few times per person." I can do it seven times a day and a night, so divide it. ”

When Qianxue, Suxi, and Linglong heard this, they all came over.

Qianxue smiled: "Does the master still have the ability to win seven battles and seven victories?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied confidently: "I am well maintained, and now I can still compare to a young man in his early twenties." ”

Before the words fell, Lin Xiangyu sat down first: "There is no basis for what you say, just try it and know it." ”

…………

Seven days without words.

At noon the next day, Zhu Qiyu came to Dongpo Snow Hall and took King Xiao Chu and Princess Mingji over to play.

A sandy beach was built on the lake on the eastern slope, Zhu Qiyu knelt and climbed on the soft fine sand, and Princess Mingji rode on the back of her father, only babbling and shouting: "Big horse, drive; Big Malaysia, drive. ”

Zhu Qiyu followed the command of his little princess and crawled all over the ground, and Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang came up from time to time to pat twice.

Zhu Qiyu glared angrily: "It's against you two little slaves, and you dare to shoot my dragon fart." ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Husband is now a big horse, hurry up and climb well." You have ridden our sisters for so many years, but now you have been ridden in reverse, it can be seen that thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi are not bad at all. ”

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Do you still want to say that the world is a good reincarnation, don't bully young people to be poor." Someday turn over and be the master, right? ”

Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang laughed in unison: "Yes, yes, daughter slave, climb quickly!" Drive, drive, drive. ”

When Princess Mingji saw someone cheering, she also came to her heart, and kept shouting: "Drive, drive, drive." ”

Zhu Qiyu was so tired yesterday, but he was still alive and vigorous, crawling around on the beach.

Life is lived warmly, happily and carefree.

Zhu Qiyu is like a Taoist priest living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and like a farmer who is at ease and happy, he and the five little concubines are in harmony with each other in the Lingyu Palace all day long.

……

Time flies, time flies.

A few years have passed, Jingtai twenty-one years, the eighth day of February.

The crown prince has reached the age of twenty, and Zhu Qiyu insisted on abdicating despite the persuasion of the ministers.

After being an emperor for twenty years, you can barely achieve eternal success.

The four seas surrendered, the world returned to the heart, and the Ming Dynasty has achieved Zhongxing and entered the prosperous era.

Zhu Qiyu was only in his early forties and was completely liberated. The eldest of the five little concubines is only thirty-five years old, which is the best age, and because they are nourished, they all look like they have just turned twenty.

In the following days, the Emperor Taishang was more carefree and happier.
