Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 449: Class teacher, locust plague breaks out

Zhu Di stared at the map in front of him, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly.

"In that case, let's follow what Guo Qing said and take charge of the class!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An bowed his hands in salute.

Soon, the military order was issued, and the entire army began to prepare to return.

By this time, the weather was getting hotter.

On the prairie, it also began to rain from time to time.

Although it is not large, it will also cause the army to move slowly on the way to the headquarters.

Therefore, half a month has passed, and as far as the eye can see, there is still endless prairie.

only.

When more than [-] troops return, they will inevitably be detected by some Tatar scouts.

As a result, hundreds of Tatar scouts were already hanging at the rear of the army.

Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and others looked at it with bored expressions on their faces.

When the army was stationed and camping, a group of generals began to ask for orders again.

"Father, these Tatars are too arrogant. Please lead my troops and kill all the Tatar scouts!"

"Your Majesty, the general is also asking for your orders. With only a thousand cavalry, we can cut off the heads of all the Tatar scouts behind the army!"

"Your Majesty, the last general..."

Zhu Di nodded slightly. He couldn't bear it. Those Tatars were so arrogant.
"what?"

Suddenly, Guo An, who had been looking down at his feet, suddenly spotted a few grasshopper-like insects.

Zhu Di looked at Guo An and asked, "What objection does Guo Qing have?"

Guo An quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I have no objection, I just found a few interesting little things!"

"Funny little thing?"

Zhu Di suddenly looked curious.

"Your Majesty, please look here!"

Guo An pointed to a place near his feet, where there happened to be a few small things that looked like grasshoppers, slowly eating some green grass.

"What?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and others also looked subconsciously.

When he saw it clearly, his expression suddenly became condensed.

Immediately, his face was filled with surprise.

"Guo Qing, what is this?..."

Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and others had already caught one from the ground and watched it repeatedly.

Guo Andao: "Reporting to your majesty, I have observed that this thing should be a locust!"

"locust?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and others were all shocked.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and others, they quickly threw the locusts in their hands on the ground.

Zhu Di stared at the ground for a long time, then said, "So many locusts?"

Guo An said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, the biggest gift that Ming Dynasty has given to the Tatars has broken ground!"

"Yes, our biggest gift to the Tatars has already appeared!"

Zhu Di was also full of joy.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and other generals who were raising their legs couldn't help but stiffen and slowly put them down.

Guo An said again: "Your Majesty, please send an order to the whole army. No soldiers are allowed to kill the locusts!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"As it should be!"

As Zhu Di's edict was issued, there was another commotion among the army.

However, all the soldiers and generals were full of joy.

The Mongolian Tatars should also have a taste of the locust plague.

After discovering the locusts, Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and others stopped thinking and went to surround and kill the Tatar scouts behind the army.

Early the next morning.

The army then set off directly.

The Tatar scouts were still five miles away from the army, watching from a distance.

Another ten days passed.

The Ming army was only a few days away from the Ming border.

The Tatar scouts were finally relieved.

then.

One by one, they reined in their horses and prepared to return.

"Ok?"

The Tatar scout was riding happily on the prairie when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

A strip of loess appeared in front of me.

Where is the green grass that has just grown?
After a moment of astonishment, a group of Tatar scouts quickly stepped forward to check.

Crash... As their horses ran past, a large number of insects suddenly flew up.

Each of these bugs was the size of a finger, but there were so many of them that the whole sky was a little gray.

"what is this?"

A Tatar scout widened his eyes, pursed his lips, and asked with some fear.

"I haven't seen it either!"

Another Tatar scout had just finished speaking. The older scout on the side stared at the grassland slowly disappearing under the dense insect colony. His eyes widened and his face turned pale.

"It's a locust!"

"locust?"

All the Tatar scouts were startled, and then their expressions changed drastically.

Looking at the rapidly disappearing grass in front of me, I trembled all over.

"How come there are so many locusts?"

"Locust plague!"

"The locust plague is coming! Go and report to the Prime Minister quickly. The locust plague is coming. Our grassland is in trouble..."

"The plague of locusts?"

All the Tatar scouts couldn't help but change their expressions. They hurriedly rode their horses and ran away.

And as the horses ran across, countless locusts flew across the prairie.

Seeing this, all the Tatar scouts were even more frightened.

a few days later.

All the Tatar tribes in the entire prairie were filled with an atmosphere of fear.

……

On the Guangou Ancient Road, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Ming Dynasty marched slowly.

Looking at the tall Great Wall in front of them, all the soldiers were relaxed and overjoyed.

They finally returned to Ming Dynasty.

"Report!"

A group of scouts chased him from behind with faces full of joy.

"What's the matter?"

A scout captain came forward to greet him.

The team of scouts reported to the captain.

The scout's face was immediately filled with joy and he hurriedly ran towards Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

Zhu Di looked at the captain again.

"What's the matter?"

The captain raised his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the scouts reported that there has been a locust plague in the Tatar tribe area.

There is no grass growing in a radius of twenty miles, and the Tatars are in chaos! "

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed and said, "Send people to keep an eye on those Tatars and prevent them from jumping over the wall and invading our Ming border area again!"

"The end will follow the order!"

The captain took the order and went down.

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a strange expression, "Guo Qing has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty again!"

Guo An had a humble look on his face, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. This time I was lucky enough to do this!"

On the side, Zhu Gaoxu, Song Sheng and other generals looked at Guo An with fear again.

This Marquis of Dinghai, a member of the Shenji Battalion, showed his prowess on the battlefield and became the most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty.

And in my mind, I can actually come up with such a sinister idea...

This person must not be provoked!

However, a few people were only surprised for a moment, and everyone's attention was focused on the front.

Zhu Di returned in triumph.

All officials from the Peiping Capital Division came to greet him.

After the banquet, Guo An quietly said goodbye to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di also knew what Guo An meant and readily agreed.

Guo An then led a group of personal guards to the Guo Mansion in Peiping.

Guo Mansion.

When he opened the door and saw Guo An standing outside, Menzi couldn't help but wipe his eyes, and then he was sure that he had seen it correctly.

Immediately, he ran to the house with a face full of joy.

"The master is back! The master is back..."

Outside the gate, no one greeted Guo An for a moment.

Guo An: "..."
