Daming: From the end of Hongwu

361 Chapter 359 - Autumn and Spring Come Another Year

Liaodong.

Zhen Wu had already dealt with the problems of the various ministries of the Jurchen. Not only did the ministries recognize their relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but even the official roads and post stations from the Yahu Pass to the Tumen River area were being built in an orderly manner.

Up to now, it can be said that the territory of Ming Dynasty has expanded a little further in name, and it can be regarded as the expansion of territory.

It's just a pity that the efficiency of communication and traffic in this era is too low, otherwise Daming's actual control over this place could be a little stronger.

But take your time.

Zhen Wu took advantage of this free time to come to Qinghe Fort to visit Jin'er and others who were placed there.

After seeing each other, it is natural to be lingering.

It goes without saying.

On the second day, the family letter from the capital just arrived, Zhen Wu got into the study, and read the family letter seriously, and this family letter was recording what happened to Xiao Qi recently.

After Zhen Wu read it, he was in a daze for a long time, until Jin Er came in with a bowl of hot tea, Zhen Wu came back to his senses, took a sip of hot tea, sighed softly, picked up his pen and wrote reply.

"Following the last time, all the Jurchen ministries have reached a consensus. So far, this errand has come to an end. I have time to return to Qinghe Castle in Liaodong and reply to my wife here. However, the various Mongolian ministries have made other moves, so I have to rush Go to Nuergan area for business before the winter, and the Nuergan area is sparsely populated, so the news may be suspended for the next few months. Madam read this, don’t worry too much, this is my husband’s preparation in advance , guides, soldiers and horses, etc. are all available, and there will be no danger."

After writing this, Zhen Wu breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his waist, smiled at the grinding Jin'er, dipped in the ink, wrote a new line, and started writing again.

"I know everything about Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi doesn't think about the consequences, doesn't think about the consequences, and provokes his daughter rashly. It's really a lack of discipline. I hope my wife will control it more in the future, and don't let him do things on his own. As for Miss Su you mentioned, now I can only follow your method, but Xiaoqi and Miss Su are still young, so you must not let them be greedy for love and moon. But you can do as I say, I think you also know Dongmei in your mother’s yard, this person has taken care of Xiaoqi since she was a child, you can borrow someone from your mother, and Dongmei will control Xiaoqi’s affairs.”

Zhen Wu paused again when he wrote this.

"Speaking of which, the six and seven children have reached a critical age, but I am thousands of miles away. The whole family is on the shoulders of my wife. I work hard and take heavy responsibilities, which often makes my husband feel ashamed. Now you are Twins, I only hope that when my wife is taking care of the affairs of the mansion, she must also take care of herself, and don't hurt her body by mistake, otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life and repay my tears. I will do my best in the future and try to go back to see you as soon as possible. "

"Finally, to tell my mother, Erwu knelt down and prayed for her mother's blessings and golden safety."

Zhen Wu put away the pen, let out a breath, then put down the brush, carefully picked up the letter paper and gently blew on the ink. After the ink was dry, he solemnly put it in an envelope and sent it home quickly.

All kinds of things in the family, compared with the big things in the country, seem to be trivial, but outside the man, apart from the pride of making achievements, the trivial things in the family are the most worrying.

Jin'er came behind Zhen Wu and gently helped Zhen Wu hold his shoulders.

Zhen Wu patted Jin'er's soft palm, pulled himself together, temporarily put aside his concerns about his family, and turned around to watch the news about Nu'ergan and various Mongolian ministries.

It is reported that Alutai has set off for the Nuergan area.

Zhen Wu tapped his fingers on the table. Since the Hongwu period, Mongolia seems to have been doing one thing, accumulating strength, and then preparing to invade Daming. The blow continued, but since Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunqi had a civil war, and they had no time to control Mongolia. This led to the Mongolian ministries that had been in civil wars. There is a sign of unity.

This is a dangerous sign.

It means that Mongolia, which has no threat to Ming Dynasty, may pose a threat to Ming Dynasty again.

But precisely at this time period, Zhu Di had just sat on the throne, and he didn't want to take the liberty of going north.

Then let the Mongols accumulate strength?
Nonsense.

A ruthless light flashed in Zhen Wu's eyes, he stretched out his hand and patted Jin'er's hand: "You have someone notify Cheng Liang to come over, three days, three days later I'm going to go to Nu'er."

Time waits for no one, this time he wants to make trouble for the Mongolian brother.

soon.

Three days passed in a flash, Zhen Wu took Cheng Liang and others, and set off on a fast horse early in the morning. On this trip, Li Chengshan and Meng Temu both expressed their support and sent some of them to join the journey. He was accompanied by heroes of the tribe, including Li Chengshan's son Shikanu and Meng Temu's sister Tijiya.

For Di Jiya, Zhen Wu originally didn't want to bring her there.

However, Shi Jianu repeatedly said that Dijiya's equestrian skills are not inferior to any man, which made Zhen Wu finally agree. consider.

If there is Meng Temu's sister on this trip, the Meng Temu tribe should not be willing to sit back and watch their group be in danger, which is also a good thing for him.

……

The green mountains and flowing waters do not feel the passage of time. Since Zhen Wu and the others set off, they have crossed mountains, forests, and rivers, visiting tribes one after another.

Li Chengshan and Meng Temu, the Jurchens, migrated from this area decades ago, so they have some friendship with some tribes in the Nuergan area, and Zhen Wu has some people from the Jurchen tribe as a stepping stone. It is often easy to win the favor of most tribes.

The two sides often hit it off after some negotiations and formed a verbal ally.

Just like that, Zhen Wu passed day by day in such days.

In the blink of an eye, suddenly.

Autumn goes and spring comes, and autumn comes again. Before he knows it, Zhen Wu has been running around for a year.

……

Argan Mountain is not high, and the mountain is ordinary without bright spots. The only thing that can be praised is that the Tu River flows through its foot, which makes the whole mountain lush and lush.

In autumn, the fallen leaves and dead grass have become a continuous trend in many areas, but on this mountain, it is still green and eye-catching.

On this day, a rush of horseshoes sounded suddenly in the world, and then countless horseshoes followed, one by one fast horses roared past the foot of the mountain, trampling down heavily , and even raised the turf.

The people on these horses all had a deep sense of exhaustion on their faces, and they looked dusty and dusty. They didn't know that they had been running around for a few days in a row to create this embarrassing appearance.

At this time, a clear female voice in the crowd shouted excitedly.

"Aergan Mountain, this is Argan Mountain, Brother Zhen, look quickly, we have arrived at Argan Mountain."

The man who had been leading the gallop, heard this from afar, stopped the gallop with a groan, then looked suspiciously at the surrounding scenery and mountains, looked carefully for a while, and when he recognized it clearly, he couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't help laughing a few times and said: "It's really Argan Mountain. He ran away in a panic these days, and ran here unexpectedly."

After finishing speaking, the man turned his head and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Brothers, we are finally safe, the goddamn Arutai, even if I judge him, he will not have the guts to chase us here."

The man looked to be in his 30s, and he was extremely tough. You didn't need to guess that he was a resolute man who came through the wind and rain, and this person was none other than Zhen Wu. As for the woman who spoke just now, it was them. The only woman in the team, Digiya.

When the group of people behind Zhen Wu heard Zhen Wu's sure words, they all cheered like crazy, even Cheng Liang, Dunzi and others took off the fur hats on their heads and waved them around.

These days, they were chased so hard by the desperate Alutai that they almost gave up their lives here.

Now that I see Argan Mountain, I am naturally very excited, because after passing Argan Mountain and walking south, I will arrive at the Liaodong territory of the Ming Dynasty. Give Arutai some courage, and Arutai will not dare to stay in this place , and then chase Zhen Wu and others.

He has to be careful, be careful that when Zhen Wu transferred troops to Liaodong, he started to run after him in a two-level reversal.

Zhen Wu had known him for a long time, and he was also aware of Zhen Wu's temper.

At this time, Di Jiya came to Zhen Wu's side on a horse, and she excitedly said to Zhen Wu: "Brother Zhen, why is that Alutai dying of anger now? So many people chased us, and we ran away abruptly." Come out, if you see him again in the future, he will die of shame."

Di Jiya was afraid to avoid Zhen Wu at the beginning, but after this year, she got to know Zhen Wu more and more, and was more and more attracted by Zhen Wu's mature and mighty appearance. Until now, Di Jiya is most troubled by Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu smiled and did not speak.

Shiganu on the other side excitedly echoed Digiya and said, "That's right, although we have been fleeing all this time, we killed more than a hundred or ten of them at least, and in the end Alutai still didn't even have Mao If I touched one, if I were him, I would have been pissed off."

Digiya's eyes lit up, and she immediately chatted with Shiganu about this thrilling and turbulent escape journey.

One of the two said how beautiful the arrow he shot while stepping on the horse, and the other said how sharp the arrow he shot back, they couldn't say enough.

Zhen Wu shook his head and ignored them.

Speaking of which, from Zhen Wu's point of view, Arutai would indeed be pissed off, but not because of how many people Zhen Wu and the others had killed in Arutai, but because of what Zhen Wu had done in the Nuergan area.

After this year, he managed to get ahead of Arutai, formed an alliance with Daming in the Nuergan area, and joined hands with other tribes in the Nuergan area to push Arutai out. It messed up Arutai's plan to subdue the Nuergan tribes.

And this is not enough, more importantly, Zhen Wu raised strong doubts about the Mongolian Khan Guilichi through the various tribes of Nuergan.

How can a person who is not from the Golden Family try to make them submit?
Do you really think that Da Yuan was brought down by his parents?
Besides, the Golden Family is not empty, why can Guilichi replace Mongolia?Could it be that all those loyal to the Golden Family in Mongolia are dead?
The fact that the Mongols don't miss the old love of the Golden Family doesn't mean that others don't either. Anyway, they will never approve of this Guilichi.

These remarks slowly spread to various Mongolian ministries, and immediately set off a huge wave among the various Mongolian ministries.

Their good Mongolian men were actually questioned by others for their loyalty and integrity!
How can this work!
Some people who were already dissatisfied with Gui Lichi immediately jumped out and agreed with Zhen Wu's remarks.

Then, these people gradually united and began to fight against Guilichi.

This time, Guilichi didn't want to build up Temujin's great cause again. Even if he wanted to unify the various tribes of Mongolia, it was wishful thinking. The entire Mongolian tribe was in chaos, and the signs of mutual conquest broke out again.

In this case, can Alutai not itch Zhen Wuhen's teeth? !

After thinking about this, Zhen Wu smiled secretly, then he turned his head to the crowd and said: "Okay, let's continue on our way after taking a breath. When we arrive in Liaodong, everyone will have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu flicked his horsewhip, and galloped forward again at the head of the horse.

……

The capital, the imperial palace.

Zhu Di has been a little annoyed recently. He planned to put Annan's issue on the agenda, but the northern Guilichi gradually grew, making it impossible for him to put Annan's issue on the agenda.

After all, relatively speaking, the north has always been a serious problem.

But if the Annan issue is not resolved, it will not work. If the Hu family usurps the throne of the Ming Dynasty, if Daming remains indifferent, the credibility of Annan and the Southeast Asian countries will drop several levels.

Moreover, Annan is also related to Nanyang trade. Zhu Di needs an obedient, honest, and Annan who can be used by him.

He wants to go to sea to earn money.

Only by earning enough money can he support him to lead the army straight into Mobei. Even if they want to run, they can still catch up with the support of money and food.

Otherwise, every time before two months of fighting, you have to dig and search and calculate, should you go back? Is this a fucking war?Not cheery at all.

Speaking of it, his father left behind a good foundation, but Zhu Yunwen, a prodigal son, has made a lot of noises, which made him feel very distressed.

And after he came to power, he built canals, immigrated, and compiled "Yongle Dadian", all of which cost a lot of money. Although the financial situation is good now, if he wants to make him happy, it must be almost impossible.

On this day, Zhu Di was walking around Fengtian Temple irritably. In fact, he is a very organized person. Since Gui Lichi is strong, he should be sent as an envoy to repair it. He will appease Gui Lichi for two or three years, and wait until two or three years later. In the end, no matter how Guilichi develops, he is not afraid. What he is most worried about is that Guilichi will attack Daming while he is using Annan.

That would be troublesome.

But Gou Ri's Gui Lichi repeatedly refused to make peace with Daming.

This is fucking shameless.

Especially the last time, he sent an envoy to see Gui Lichi. On his way back, the envoy sent a letter saying that it was fine if Gui Lichi was not repaired.

What is this.

Zhu Di was so restless that he wished he could directly raise troops to fight Guilichi.

Zhu Di couldn't bear this anger.

At this time, the dog came to report that the envoy who sent Guilichi had returned alive, and he was waiting outside, waiting to see him.

Zhu Di looked happy, it was a good thing to come back safely, and then quickly let the envoys in.

After the envoy came in, Zhu Di asked directly: "Why did Gui Lichi suddenly kill you? He had intentionally repaired it before you were sent as an envoy, why did he change his mind again? Isn't he afraid of angering me, Daming? "

Speaking of which, Zhu Di couldn't help becoming angry, and said angrily again: "Believe it or not, I will beat his mother tomorrow."

"letter."

The envoy said, but then added: "But Your Majesty, there is no need to fight for the time being, because I finally figured out why Gui Lichi wanted to kill me."
