Chapter 51: The main general of flowing water, the iron-clad overseer
Zhu Zhanji was wronged, obviously Li Qing ate more than him, why did he take the black pot alone?
"Grandpa, I want to report!"
"Hmm......" Li Qing, who was sleeping, stretched his waist and opened his eyes sleepily, "Yo, the emperor is here?" ”
Zhu Di glanced at him, and then looked at his eldest grandson, "What do you want to report?" ”
"Your Majesty, are you here to treat the imperial grandson?" Li Qing spoke first: "It's still the emperor's thoughtfulness, the emperor and grandson are growing up physically, and they can't affect their development because of poor food." ”
After a pause, he picked up the leg of mutton and handed it to Xiao Zhanji, "Imperial grandson, you eat more, this thing is good for you." ”
"I don't eat it." Zhu Zhanji shook his head desperately, he was so angry with Li Qing that he couldn't do it, why is Uncle Qing like this, isn't this adding fuel to the fire, "Grandpa, listen to my explanation......"
"I don't need to explain." Zhu Di glared at him fiercely, but he didn't reprimand him again, "If you are greedy, eat it, and pay attention in the future." ”
He also didn't want to affect his grandson's growth because he ate too poorly, "If you want to eat, you can eat openly, what kind of body will you be secretly?" ”
"That's what the emperor said." Li Qing answered, "The emperor's grandson is too, the emperor can still be hungry for you, I really want to eat the official and say, there is no need for this." ”
"I ......" Zhu Zhanji was so angry, "Grandpa Huang, it's not like that." ”
"Alright." Zhu Di flicked his sleeves and said with a cold face, "If you have the courage to eat or not, you don't have the courage to admit it, it's a sign of cowardice, go to bed early after eating." ”
"Yes, Grandpa." Zhu Zhanji agreed.
Li Qing arched his hand and said, "The emperor walks slowly." ”
After Zhu Di left, Li Qing hugged the leg of mutton and made it, but Zhu Zhanji was angry, "Uncle Qing, you said to carry it for me before, why did you ...... just now?"
"I'm in my pocket!" Li Qing shrugged his shoulders, "You just said that your grandfather didn't punish you, right?" ”
"......" Zhu Zhanji was angry, and reached out to grab the leg of mutton, but he grabbed it.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't eat it?" Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "A man's words must be counted." ”
"Ah......h ”
Li Qing persuaded him with good words, "It's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much at night, Uncle Qing, this is for your sake, you made that half of the roast chicken, hurry up and rest, Ming'er still has to march;
Also, there must be no loud noises in the army! ”
"......" Zhu Zhanji was helpless when he met such a person, "Uncle Qing, have you always been like this?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Li Qing slurred, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Then it's really not easy for you to live at such an old age." Zhu Zhanji vomited a bad sentence, lay back on the ground angrily, and no longer paid attention to him.
Li Qing's face didn't matter, he was polite enough to Xiao Zhanji.
The boat of friendship is capsized.
……
The next day, the army advanced again.
Along the way, the chattering Xiao Zhanji was a lot quieter, and Li Qing felt relaxed and enjoyed the scenery with peace of mind.
~
More than a month later, the army encamped two hundred miles from the range of Warat and did not advance.
Zhu Di sent scouts to explore the east direction of Wara.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the scouts set out, the messengers of Warat came first.
In the camp, Zhu Di met with the messenger of Warat.
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." The envoy was very respectful, and even brought a fat roasted whole sheep, which seemed to be full of sincerity, "This is a gift from our Great Khan to Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and said directly: "Tell Ma Hamu to go back to the nest immediately, An An guards his one-third of an acre of land, and I can do it lightly." ”
The envoy was a little indignant, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why do we have to be treated like this, and the outside of the gate is not the land of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"The whole world is not the king's land, inside and outside the gates, all of them are Ming!" Zhu Di has always been unreasonable, "To retreat or not to retreat?" ”
A rugged man said in a loud voice, "What if we don't retreat?" ”
"Then there's not much to say." Zhu Di stretched his waist, "Tell Ma Hamu to wash his neck, and the soldiers will arrive in a few days." ”
Another envoy smiled and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is angry, and he has something to discuss......
"Roll ——!"
The face of the Warat envoy froze, and he endured his breath and said, "We can promise that we will never disturb Da Ming in the future, and I hope that Da Ming will not interfere in our internal affairs." ”
"It's late!" Zhu Di sneered, "When you were weak before, you were subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, but now that you have a little confidence, you dare to peep into the Central Plains, when I can be bullied by the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"We ......," said the messenger of Warat, "we can still claim to the Ming in the future." ”
Zhu Di didn't want to talk nonsense with these people anymore, raised his hand and waved, and the soldiers at the gate of the camp immediately blasted the messenger out.
On the second day, the scouts returned and reported the exact location of Warat.
After Zhu Di learned about it, he didn't say a word and led the army to advance.
The other side.
After learning of the Ming army's movements, Mahamu's face did not show panic.
In recent years, Varat has developed rapidly, especially after the defeat of the Tatars, and his power has become more and more powerful.
Although the Warat did not belong to the Mongol orthodoxy like the Tatars, they had not been attacked by the Ming Dynasty over the years, and they had been making a fortune in silence.
After the defeat of the Tatars, he did not miss a lot, and today's Warat is much stronger than the Tatars at their peak a few years ago.
The power of Warat swelled, and Mahamu swelled with it.
Mahamu is confident, but his generals are not as confident as him, and they are all sad.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the strength of the Ming army are obvious to all, and Tatar is an example a few years ago.
The thought of the Ming army dispatching 500,000 made their hearts tremble.
"Let's ...... If you don't give in, it's not without ...... anyway" The general was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"What, scared?" Mahamu's descendant general said angrily, "Our current strength is not comparable to that of the original Tatars. ”
The general forcibly saved his respect: "It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel that there is no need to turn against the Ming army now, wait a few more years, wait for ......"
"Hmph, don't make excuses for your timidity." The general of the descendant line ridiculed, "Heroes on the grassland, not afraid of death, if you are afraid, then ......"
"Alright." Ma Hamu interrupted his henchmen and scanned the crowd, and under his eagle-like gaze, the generals slowly lowered their heads.
Mahamu's sharp gaze gradually softened, and he sighed: "Why don't I want to wait any longer, but Emperor Ming doesn't give him a chance, the emperor will lead hundreds of thousands of troops to go on the expedition, how can he return in vain?"
Even if we give in, he will attack us just as much, so why not fight? ”
The crowd was silent.
Seeing this, Ma Hamu said again, "It is true that the Ming army dispatched 500,000 troops, but excluding a large number of supply troops, the maximum number of troops that can participate in the war is only 150,000, what are you afraid of!?" ”
After a pause, he said loudly: "Don't worry, the Ming army is not invincible, we were able to enter the Central Plains more than a hundred years ago, and we can't do it a hundred years later." ”
When the generals heard this, they surged with some confidence, and when they thought of the wealth of the Central Plains, their eyes were full of light.
Seeing this, Mahamu smiled slightly, "The reason why the Tatars were defeated in the first place was because their leader had no ability;
The nominal leader of the Tatar tribe was the Taishi Arutai, but in fact it was not, but a woman, as far as I know, the princess of the former Yuan;
It's no wonder that a woman can win a big battle when she comes to commanding the battle! ”
"Not bad!" Tuhuan (Mahamu's son) echoed, "The reason why the Tatars and the Ming army lost so badly in that battle was because of the blind command of the leader, not the incompetence of our steppe men. ”
Hearing this, the confidence of the generals was even stronger.
Ma Hamu struck while the iron was hot, "Everyone, as long as we win this battle, the Central Plains is just around the corner, and at that time, the world will be our world!"
I promise that when the time comes, each of you will have a vast land, a beautiful woman, and an innumerable ...... of gold and silver."
After a big cake, the generals were full of energy.
……
A few days later, the Ming army entered the Warat sphere of influence.
Zhu Di gave an order, and the commanders of the various departments immediately dispatched, and the Ming army attacked in a big way, with high morale.
Zhu Zhanji was greedy, and came to the handsome camp to ask for battle: "Grandpa Huang...... No, Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to lead the army to attack and serve the country! ”
Zhu Di is a little entangled, there are no eyes on the battlefield, if there is a good grandson, it will be worth the loss.
After thinking about it, didn't you bring him here this time just to sharpen him?
If you don't even let the battlefield, what's the point of coming along?
Zhu Di is not an indecisive person, so he happily agreed: "If you have ambition, I will give you 3,000 cavalry, so that Wara can see the strength of our Ming army!" ”
"Yes, the minister will live up to the emperor's expectations!" Zhu Zhanji trembled with excitement.
When he was a child, he followed his grandfather to perform martial arts, and he had fantasized about fighting on the battlefield countless times, but now he finally got what he wanted, how not to be excited.
"Behave well." Zhu Di patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder, "Don't live up to my cultivation!" ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded heavily, "The minister will not disgrace his mission!" ”
"Good!" Zhu Di smiled heartily, "Li Qing, you are the imperial grandson's supervisor." ”
Li Qing: "......"
The main general of the real flowing water, the iron-clad prison army!
