Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 226
In Beiping, the north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and the red flag freezes and cannot be turned over by the wind.

This former capital city of the Yuan Dynasty has been transformed into the base camp of the Ming army's continuous northern expedition to the grassland.

Its former liberator, Xu Da, who is now the commander of the Northern Expedition, is standing silently on the top of the city in cold armor, looking at the gloomy and snowy north.

Suddenly, several fast horses broke through the chaotic curtain of wind and snow and galloped towards the city of Beiping.

The hundreds of soldiers on the top of the city silently hung up their bowstrings, preparing for the possible battle.

The rangers of the Ming army scattered outside the city quickly stepped forward to investigate, and after discovering that the visitors were their own scouts, they let them enter the city.

In a short while, Qianhu, a personal soldier, led two scouts who were busy in the world, up to the city gate tower.

"General, the scouts sent to Mobei have returned."

"Well, get up." Xu Da nodded slowly, looked at the two scouts with chilblains all over their faces, and said warmly, "You have worked hard."

"Hey, it's not hard." The joy of seeing the general made the two scouts forget their pain and fatigue, and they just grinned foolishly.

"How is it? Have you found out the confirmed news?"

"Yes." The leader of the scouts hastily hissed and reported: "The lowly official disguised himself as a fur merchant, went deep into the Tazi's Yamen in Haranahai, and found out that Wang Baobao had indeed died in August. Now his younger brother Tuoyin is taking over the power. Timur. Just to continue to use his reputation, so it has been kept secret.

"We also found evidence that all Wang Baobao's wives and concubines committed suicide. They should have been buried for him according to Mongolian and Yuan customs. According to the inversion of the place where his wives and concubines were buried, we found Wang Baobao's cemetery by the Harana Sea.

"Although there is no tombstone, it is indeed a new tomb regulated by the prince of the Yuan Dynasty. We managed to enter the tomb passage and rubbed the epitaph." The leader of the scouts said, took out a copper cylinder from his arms, opened it and presented it Extension page.

Xu Da had fought against the Mongols for half his life, and he was already proficient in Mongolian characters. After reading the epitaph carefully, he sighed and ordered: "Set up an altar, and I want to pay homage to the dead enemy."

"Great General!" Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen and others around him said in surprise: "Are you sure Wang Baobao is really dead?"

"Sure." Xu Da nodded.

"Great, now even Wang Baobao is dead!" The young Chang Mao cheered. "What a dead Hu Yuan!"

As soon as they shouted here, the news of Wang Baobao's death quickly spread throughout the city of Beiping, and the soldiers who were still expressionless from the cold suddenly cheered happily.

"Wang Baobao is dead, and Hu Yuan is dead!"

"Wang Baobao is dead, and Hu Yuan is dead!"

There was no smile on Xu Da's face, not even a relaxed expression.

After his personal soldiers set up the altar and sacrifices, he personally offered incense and wine to commemorate this Mongolian man who brought him the only defeat in his life.

Although it is a lifelong enemy of life and death.But no matter what, this lonely minister of Beiyuan who can fight with him and save the Hu Yuan court with his own efforts; Boss Zhu has failed to surrender seven times, is worthy of respect.

"I wanted to capture you alive, it's a shame for Yixue's life." Xu Da poured a glass of wine towards the North Harana Sea, and said with infinite sadness: "Unfortunately, you didn't give me this chance, and I will regret it for the rest of my life .”

After finishing speaking, he smashed the wine glass into pieces, turned around and went down the wall.

Chang Mao, Geng Bingwen and others will quickly follow.

~~
When he returned to the General's Mansion, Chang Mao was still persistently asking: "General, when will our army go out?"

The rest of the generals were also looking forward to Xu Da, and since they got the news of Wang Baobao's death after the fall, they seized the time to mobilize their troops, hold back their energy, and waited to go straight to Huanglong with the general, and fight this last battle to eliminate Hu Yuan. battle.

This team of ever-victorious teachers who are full of meritorious deeds and have a heart of confiding their wives and children does not pay attention to the bad weather at all. They once went to the grasslands in the first month and caught the Mongols by surprise...

But Xu Da didn't speak immediately, he handed the helmet and cloak to the soldiers, walked to the blazing charcoal basin, and roasted the fire to concentrate.

Orange flames danced in his eyes, but his expression was still as calm as autumn water.

"General..." Chang Mao couldn't help calling out again.

"Old Geng, tell them the truth." Xu Da slowly ordered with his back to the generals.

"Yes." Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen nodded, and said to the generals in a heavy voice:

"The Tongzhou Warehouse reported that so far, less than [-]% of the food, salaries and military supplies needed by the army have been put into storage. If it weren't for the general's efforts to grow cotton in Yanyun in the past few years, the soldiers would not even have enough food and clothing. It's going to be a problem."

"What?!" The generals were stunned upon hearing this.

They have heard that it is not good for the governments of various places to liberate military supplies this year.But they all feel that it must be like before, the general will take care of everything.

But I didn't expect that it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the supplies were only one-third in place!

In the first month of the twelfth lunar month, there is no need for supplies to be sent to the front line...

"Are those local officials crazy?" Chang Mao said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill them if you miss the military plane?"

"They all have various reasons. Floods, droughts and locust disasters have failed harvests, canals and water transportation have been blocked, sea transportation has encountered wind and waves, and sea ships have capsized..." Geng Bingwen said depressedly:

"They have already written an apology form to the Ministry of the Central Secretariat. But this year, there are too many prefectures and counties that have caused delays. It is impossible for the emperor to punish them all. In the end, it is nothing more than dealing with a few unlucky people with no background."

"What's the use of killing them all? Don't take advantage of Wang Baobao's death and when Bei Yuan's heart is in turmoil, wipe them out in one fell swoop. When they calm down, they will find no one to find them in a decisive battle!" Chang Mao and other generals of the young and strong faction beat their chests and stamped their feet anxiously, as if they had been robbed of their wives.

Tang Shengzong, Marquis of Yan'an, and Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an, several veteran generals were not so excited.

Because they are well aware of the reasons for this situation.

Even happy to see it happen...

This is revenge from the Korean public and from Huaixi.

Han Guogong and the old brothers of Huaixi contributed money and efforts, emptied their homes and subsidized money, and built a magnificent Zhongdu City for you, Boss Zhu.

It's good for you, Boss Zhu, because of a small matter, if you don't want to move the capital, you won't move the capital!

You have preserved your reputation, but where will the face of Han Hangong and our Huaixi be?

Not to mention, Boss Zhu then let that cruel official Han Yike set off a big prison in Fengyang.

In every family, children, relatives and servants were arrested.Those who quit their fields quit their fields, those who lost money lost money, and those who were tortured wanted to die.

So I'm sorry, let us Huaixi lose money and make money like before, and put your boss Zhu's great cause first in everything, sorry, it can't be done.

You see, when we Huaixi put down the picks, this is the situation.
