Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 553 Bei Yuan is saved!
The reason why Zhu Yunxi tossed his second uncle Zhu Xi with his life was to try to see if he could break the established laws of history.

Therefore, he deliberately drove Zhu Xi to the boat to save him from being assassinated.

It's just that he never told anyone about these things.

Now that Zhu Xi is still alive and kicking and staying in Huangjinzhou, leading a group of local aborigines to expand the territory, he dared to give birth to the idea of ​​changing the fate of Lao Zhu against the sky.

According to the established history of another time and space, Lao Zhu's life span is only half a year left.

If Lao Zhu can survive this half year, then it is possible to live another ten or twenty years in the future.If Lao Zhu couldn't make it through, then he also wanted to see Beiyuan surrender and become a province of the Ming Empire when Lao Zhu was still alive.

Zhu Yunxi flipped through the perpetual calendar and made a decision full of melancholy.

Go to war!
After Zhu Yunxi made this decision, the whole Ming Dynasty became busy.

The grain from the south is gathered at the departure station of the Jingtong Line along the canal.The soldiers of the guards in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River also boarded the train to Datong after a selection of the best.

The cabinet in the capital issues hundreds of documents every day, urging all regions to collect autumn taxes.The six ministries and nine ministers also performed their duties, using the telegraph system to make close adjustments to the provinces, prefectures, and counties of the Ming Dynasty.

All the people that Zhu Yunxi asked Lao Zhu for before were all sent to Datong by Lao Zhu.Even the sapphire he despised the most was sent over after being repaired severely by Lao Zhu.

Although Lao Zhu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Yunxi's gourd, out of his trust in Da Sun, he still handed over the only remaining famous general of Ming Dynasty to him, and let him mobilize the whole country's army.

Because he knew that this grandson didn't want to be famous, didn't want to make money, and didn't even want to give birth to him a great-grandson, so he must be running for the disaster of Beiyuan.

Once Bei Yuan can be solved, whether it is him, the old emperor, or Zhu Yunxie, the little rebellious grandson, they will be recorded in the annals of history forever!

In order to cooperate with Zhu Yunxi, Lao Zhu even canceled the routine morning court every day.

On the one hand, he wanted to be lazy, and on the other hand, he found that the efficiency of the early court was too low, far less than the speed of the cabinet's disposal.

After all, there are dozens of people in the cabinet who are helping to process the documents, and three famous Confucians who are famous all over the world are helping to draft handling opinions.

As the emperor, he only needs to sign and seal, saving a lot of time.

With Lao Zhu's acquiescence and connivance, Zhu Yunxi's plan for the Northern Expedition progressed very smoothly. A large amount of supplies were transported from Jiangnan to Datong, and 20 soldiers from the guard were also withdrawn and gathered outside Guihua City.

After getting off the train, Lan Yu went straight to Zhu Yunxie, hugged Zhu Yunxie, and hugged him happily around the platform.

"Uncle misses you to death, hahaha!"

Zhu Yunxi pushed Lan Yu away with a look of disgust, and asked with a frown.

"Uncle, why do you smell like sour cucumber?"

Fu Youde and others came late, and they all laughed out loud when they heard this.

"Your Highness doesn't know something. In order to punish Lan Yu, the superior deliberately put Lan Yu together with the pickle wagon, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu gritted her teeth and looked at Fu Youde.

"You talk too much!"

"I am happy to take the pickle cart, but if you want to, you won't be able to sit in it!"

Lan Yu scolded Fu Youde, and couldn't wait to ask Zhu Yunxi.

"Nephew, have you thought about why you fought with Tartar?"

"If you don't think about it, let my uncle think about it for you, hahaha!"

As long as war is mentioned, Lan Yu's whole body becomes high-spirited and arrogant.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"There is no rush to fight the war. I will clean up the dust for you first. After you are familiar with the environment here, it will not be too late for us to discuss how to fight!"

Sapphire said indifferently.

"Hi!"

"What's so familiar about this broken place, isn't it that it's windy and sandy yet dry!"

"Old Fu, Old Feng, and this old man, who hasn't spent half their lives in this crappy place?"

Feng Sheng immediately responded happily when he heard the words, while Fu Youde stood aside and smiled without saying a word, watching the two bad friends boasting to each other.

Zhu Yunxi saw Lan Yu and Feng Sheng playing seriously for a while, so he dropped Lan Yu and walked towards the juniors standing beside him.

"Uncle Ping!"

"General Geng!"

"I don't dare to address you as His Highness, you can just call me by name."

Geng Bingwen also smiled when he heard the words, looked at Lan Yu and the others beside him and said.

"I don't even dare to be called the grandson of the emperor, the real generals are those three!"

"The two elders are out of touch when they say this. We are at least old relatives by marriage. We need to cooperate sincerely in the future to defend against the enemy..."

Under Zhu Yunxi's warm hospitality, the few people quickly let go of their restraint, and then went to the palace for a banquet.

After the welcome banquet, Zhu Yunxi ordered people to remove the food and drinks, and served tea, and discussed the next military operations with several veterans and young generals.

"Elders, this is the first time I've commanded a battle, so please correct me."

Sapphire grinned when she heard the words.

"Emperor grandson, you don't need to command, you give us all the military power, and we promise to help you destroy Beiyuan so that there is not even a chicken left!"

Zhu Yunxi gave Lan Yu a hard look.

"Uncle, with your bad mouth, you will not be wronged if you die ten times!"

"I am the king, you are the minister, how can you talk like that?"

"Come on!"

"Drag Sapphire out, pour three basins of cold water on him, and refresh him!"

"promise!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Chang Jizu came in with Jin Yiwei and dragged out Lan Yu who was still in a daze.

Not long after, Sapphire screamed and complained from outside.

"Stinky boy, you are so hot!"

"I know I was wrong, the grandson of the emperor should give me some face, ahhh..."

Everyone in the hall, when they heard Lan Yu's strange cry, all showed gloating smiles.But after laughing, everyone's heart trembled, as if they understood something.

Is the emperor's grandson raising his prestige?

When Sapphire was dragged back wet all over, everyone had a clear understanding in their hearts.

The grandson of the emperor is trying to build his prestige, and he is using his own uncle and grandpa to show his prestige!

Lan Yu became extremely quiet after re-entering the hall, no matter what Zhu Yunxi said, she didn't dare to intervene.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi called his name that he asked tentatively.

"Lan Yu, if I alone give you one hundred thousand soldiers, can you contain the Chagatai Khanate and prevent Chagatai from sending troops to aid Bei Yuan?"

Sapphire pointed to her face and asked with a guilty conscience.

"Can I speak?"

"can!"

"Gu allows you to speak!"

When Sapphire heard this, she immediately became out of shape again.

"Hi!"

"It suffocated the old man to death!"

"The old man just asks, why did the grandson of the emperor ask the old man to contain some bullshit chagatai?"

"The old man should take the lead!"

"Leadership!"

"Did you know?"

"Looking at Daming, who else is more suitable to take the lead than this old man?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"no!"

"It's thousands of miles away to Beiyuan Khan Court. With your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the pain of running around."

Lan Yu immediately became unconvinced when she heard the words.

"Who said the old man can't do it?"

"This old man will prove it to you!"

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Lan Yu.

"How do you want to prove it?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu stood up, looked around, saw a large bluestone with a flagpole erected at the door, and immediately walked over to lift it up.

However, he exerted all his breastfeeding strength, but he didn't even move it a bit.

"Sapphire, don't waste your efforts. The stone grows in the soil, and there is a rocky mountain underneath, but there is such a piece on the top. I ordered someone to cut a hole for the flagpole."

Sapphire heard the words and immediately found the steps.

"Let's just say, with our physical strength, how can we not be able to move such a big rock?"

"Emperor grandson, if you don't believe me, order someone to find some stone locks and see if I can dance!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"Don't be so troublesome!"

"I have recently acquired a fine horse. If you can tame it, I will let you take the lead."

Lan Yu couldn't believe it when she heard this.

"So simple?"

"Of course!"

"You have no jokes?"

"No joke!"

"it is good!"

"You all have to testify to me, I'm going to train the horse, hahaha..."

Zhu Yunxi watched Lan Yu happily go out to train the horse, and immediately turned to look at Fu Youde.

"Mr. Ying, you lead a hundred thousand soldiers from the Beihai line, attacking Beiyuan from east to west..."

"If you encounter scattered herdsmen and a small group of cavalry in Beiyuan, you can send someone to take them back to Huacheng."

"If there is no resistance, drive directly to Khan Court!"

Compared with Sapphire's long-winded, Fu Youde is much more straightforward.

"promise!"

"Weichen will definitely do his best and die!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately looked at Feng Sheng.

"General Feng, you lead [-] troops, starting from Yinchuan, attacking from south to north."

"Your Highness, let's see, I promise to blow Ugzihashha's egg yolk!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned displeased when he heard the words.

"Let me tell you in advance, one-third of the soldiers led by you two are from Mengyuan, and the Jurchens transferred from Nuer Gandusi!"

"what?"

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were dumbfounded when they heard this. This is not an ordinary war. It is fine to add some sand to the army. This is a war to destroy the country.Once the Mongols turned against each other, their defeat would be considered minor, and their entire army might be wiped out.

"Please think twice, the grandson of the emperor, this is not a child's play, even if you only give us 7 people, don't add these useless firewood to our army!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.

"no!"

"With fewer people, I can't scare Bei Yuan. Besides, with so many Meng Yuan people staying here, I'm afraid they will come at me!"

The two of them didn't dare to refuse after hearing what Zhu Yunxi said. After all, compared to the two of them, the safety of the emperor's grandson is the most important.

"You two don't have to worry too much. The aliens I sent to both of you basically have family members in our Da Ming's hands. Don't be afraid of their rebellion."

"Bringing them to battle this time is to let them hand over their certificates to Daming!"

When Feng Sheng heard Zhu Yunxi say this, he immediately showed a joyful expression.

"Since this is the case, then I will not be polite, and I will taste what it is like to lead a hundred thousand troops, hahaha!"

Everyone laughed when they saw him bring out the allusion of "Chang Shiwan".But after laughing, Geng Bingwen, Li Jinglong and others couldn't sit still.

"Your Highness, what about us?"

"You each lead [-] troops. General Feng, General Lan, and General Fu are marching between the three armies, and are responsible for assisting them in combat. The small group of Mongolian Yuan cavalry has been dealt with."

"If necessary, you can join forces with other generals nearby to attack Bei Yuan together!"

"promise!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's assignment was over, Lan Yu, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, walked in resentfully.

Lan Yu, who sat down again, kept silent about the main attack, but just looked at Zhu Yunxi eagerly, wanting Zhu Yunxi to change him to a more passionate errand, instead of running to Tianshan as a restraint.

However, Zhu Yunxi ignored him at all, said a few casual words and said the meeting ended.

Lan Yulai was at the end, seeing that everyone had left, she begged Zhu Yunxi with a sullen face.

"Nephew, we won't say anything if you take us to Liwei, but you can't just throw us over to Tianshan to watch the fun, can you?"

Zhu Yunxi also felt a little sorry for Lan Yu, seeing what Lan Yu said, he could only patiently explain to him.

"Uncle, there is no main attack on Beiyuan this time!"

"what?"

When Lan Yu heard this, she couldn't believe it.

"We don't believe it!"

"How can there be no main attack in a war?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"Uncle, don't you look at how many people our Daming has dispatched this time, and how big a battle we have put up?"

"Bei Yuan's side didn't pack their bags and run around at night, they are so brave!"

"This……"

Lan Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he made a rough calculation in his heart, he was not ignorant, but he was shocked.

Not counting the foreign soldiers recruited by Zhu Yunxi, the number of Ming soldiers who conquered the Northern Yuan this time exceeded 30!
If you count the surrendered Mongolian Yuan soldiers and the Jurchens transferred from Nuer Gandusi, the total number of troops dispatched this time may be close to 50!

Bei Yuan even counts the old, weak, sick and disabled, how many people can he get together?

If they knew that Daming had sent so many people to beat them, anyone with any brains would have to run away all night!

"Nephew, you know that they are timid, so can't you send fewer people?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.

"no!"

"I'm running out of time. I have to finish the fight before the spring of next year, even if this battle is delayed until winter!"

"Why is that?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands irritably.

"Don't ask why, just say can you fight?"

"If you don't want to fight, I'll find someone else to go. It just so happens that Li Jinglong wants to make meritorious service in his dreams!"

"Li Jinglong?"

Sapphire suddenly showed a disdainful expression.

"This guy can also talk a little bit. You expect him to fight and knock out your pants!"

"One more thing, I have to tell you secretly..."

Lan Yu looked around and saw that only herself and Zhu Yunxi were left in the room, so she leaned over and whispered.

"Li Jinglong has a good relationship with your fourth uncle, you have to be careful with him in the future, don't let him sell you out!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded upon hearing this.

"Gu knows, Gu will be wary of him!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had listened, Lan Yu immediately stopped talking and cupped her hands at Zhu Yunxi.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

"With the humble ministers around, Nachahetai will definitely not be able to send a single soldier, hahaha!"

Zhu Yunxi watched Lan Yu leave, and when he heard Lan Yu's hearty and confident laughter, he suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart.

It has to be my uncle and grandpa!

As long as there is Sapphire, I don't have to worry about problems in the west!

In fact, what Zhu Yunxi was worried about was never the Chagatai Khanate, but the Timurid Empire further west.

Timur's experience is similar to Lao Zhu's. They both started from scratch and built a huge empire.

Chagatai may not be able to understand the principle of dead lips and cold teeth, but Timur definitely understands.

Once he learned that Ming was conquering Beiyuan, Timur would definitely send troops to help Beiyuan and jointly defend against Ming.

With the current national strength of Ming Dynasty, it would be easy to destroy Bei Yuan.However, if they faced the four great Khanates of the Western Regions at the same time, Daming would be a bit overwhelmed.

Even if they can still win in the end, it will take a lot of national power and pay a huge price.

After all, the four major Khanates combined, whether in terms of population, land, or soldiers, etc., are far stronger than Ming Dynasty.

The advantage that Daming had was nothing more than the strength of his soldiers and his wealth.

While Zhu Yunxi was making the final preparations before the war, Haohai Dayu also came to Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire, the most powerful country in the West, via the Chagatai Khanate.

Hao Haida wanted to see the prosperity of Samarkand, and his heart was filled with infinite hope.

As long as Timur is dragged into the water, Bei Yuan will be saved!
