Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 229
Lanzhou Prefecture ordered the soldiers, and the group continued to set off. Before they came, the Lanzhou Prefecture commander had almost prepared all these things. They just counted, checked the number of soldiers, supplied the baggage and then set off. The ultimate purpose of this trip The place is Jiayuguan.

There are also two important towns, Ganzhou (Zhangye) and Suzhou (Jiuquan).

Ganzhou is an important town under the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi Province. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang’s No. 14 Zisu King Zhu Li, who guarded the northwest border, held a heavy army, and was quite famous, but when Zhu Yunqi cut down the vassal, he asked himself to be inside It was transferred to Lan County. If the Su Fan did not move to the Fan, Lan County would not develop into Lanzhou, nor would it become the center of the Northwest.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he did not restore Zhu Xi's territory, but instead reduced the monarch's salary.

why?Because Zhu Xi felt that Zhu Xi was very similar to him, the prince who had a heavy army at the beginning asked him to move his fief, and Zhu Xi pretended to be crazy. He felt that this would stabilize the brothers in the northwest, and it would not be a good thing.

Zhu Xi has performed many times to be a free prince, but it is not that Zhu Xi's attitude is not pious, but that he has done too well in the northwest imperial border before, and his prestige is a bit high. The Tibetan, Fan, Mongolian and other tribes living in the northwest region are I respect and surrender to Zhu Qi.

Even in the 17th year of Yongle, Zhu Li passed away. According to the etiquette system, his eldest son should inherit the title of feudal land, but Zhu Di did not confer the title for a long time, and also made Zhu Zhan the king of Lanzhou County, which made Zhu Li's heirs very happy. Embarrassing, there is a feudal prince waiting to be sealed in this mansion, and a county king.

However, Zhu Xi's descendants did not dare to resist, because he did not have a direct son. His eldest son, Zhu Yanyan, led the errand to direct the work and was stationed in Ganzhou. He had done a very good job in these years and was greatly appreciated.

Ganzhou is an important town in the northwest, with a large number of troops stationed. This time, including the troops they brought from Lanzhou Prefecture, the total number of troops exceeds 23, and there will be more follow-up.

A group of people rode on horseback, and Zhu Zhanchang's horse was still holding a rope behind him, and he was pulling Shi Yuntong, his hands were tied, like a war criminal.

He was wounded all over, but he didn't hit his leg just right, allowing him to walk, walking in the cold wind, shouting while walking, "It was the Second Highness who instructed me to anger the Fifth Highness."

"It was the Second Highness who instructed me to anger the Fifth Highness."

"It was the Second Highness who instructed me to anger the Fifth Highness."

He walked and shouted all the way, Zhu Gaojiao smiled, looked at Zhu Zhanchang and raised his eyebrows: "You kid is too much."

"How did I go too far? This person has been trying to provoke the relationship between me and my second brother. I don't believe it anymore. I dragged him all the way, and he can still shout all the way? I must force the mastermind out. Otherwise, wouldn't the second brother suffer this grievance in vain." Zhu Zhanchang said with righteous indignation.

Zhu Zhanyi hid far away, Shi Yuntong shouted all the way, it was too embarrassing, and Zhu Zhanyi insisted that Shi Yuntong was shouting indiscriminately, but let him shout without stopping him.

And Shi Yuntong shouted all the way, because Zhu Zhanchang told him that this was the only way to keep him alive.

Regarding what happened that night in Lanzhou Mansion, Zhu Zhanzhen's excerpts were sent back to the capital quickly. In the capital, Zhu Xi was arranging troops to send them on behalf of him. When he received Zhu Zhan's excerpts, Zhu Gaojiu's excerpts also arrived.

In Zhu Zhanzhen's book, it was said that Zhu Zhanzheng, because of his personal anger, after tortured a local famous family, he used a horse to follow him all the way, just like a prisoner.

However, in Zhu Gaojiu's account, he explained the cause and effect of the incident clearly, and then expressed it to the emperor. The two sons of the elder brother's family were in quarrel. I, as the second uncle, could not be persuaded or beaten, but I could not be persuaded. My heart is for my father, and everything is clearly explained to my father.

Because he knows that Zhu Di's own Jinyiwei and intelligence systems at all levels can understand it, why hide it, as long as he doesn't report the fact that he fought the three girls from the Western Regions that night, what else does it have to do with him? Other truthful reports are equivalent to giving Zhu Zhanyi and Zhu Zhanyi a copy.

Zhu Di threw the book out angrily: "Like playing with children one by one, send me a message to Gao Xu, there is no trivial matter in the army, he is going to lead the troops, if the Northwest Army is unstable, he is the only one to ask."

But the letters came and went. Although they were quick, they were delivered before the group arrived in Ganzhou. Then Zhu Gaojiao asked Zhu Zhanchang to shut up Shi Yuntong before entering the city, and stopped shouting, which made his mouth dry. Dryness, cracked lips, cracked soles of feet, and Shi Yun's whole body like a beggar was relieved.

"Let's go." Zhu Gaojiu said to Zhu Zhanchang.

"But Uncle, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught."

"Your Majesty's meaning."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Zhanchang ordered Yang Song to loosen him, and then rode on a tall horse, and said condescendingly, "Don't rely on your family background to think about climbing the dragon and the phoenix, treat yourself as a character, this time I want you Half-life, next time it will be the whole life, from here, run back to Lanzhou Mansion."

"His Royal Highness told you to run, but don't you run quickly."

The handsome young man a few days ago is no longer as good as a beggar. After this incident, he understands that some things are not something he can mess with.

Zhu Zhanzhen secretly ordered someone to escort him back.

Now he looks at Zhu Zhanchang, but he is more angry, but he doesn't dare to show it. He is obviously the second brother. He is older and more capable than Zhu Zhanchang (in his opinion), but why does the emperor prefer Zhu Zhanchang, his father I prefer Zhu Zhanchang, even if Zhu Zhanchang buckets such a big basket, there are still many people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who think Zhu Zhanchang is very good.

He blamed everything on himself being a concubine son, he just lost a direct descendant, otherwise he would definitely be better than Zhu Zhanchang.

The Ganzhou city defender greeted him, and Ma Yang, the commander of the chief minister of Shaanxi Province, and Zhu Shiyan, the commander of Ganzhou, were all on the list.

Generally speaking, the commanding incident should be a little later, but after all, Zhu Yanyan is Zhu Gaojiu's cousin, and the spelling of the word "Zhan" in his middle is different from that of Zhu Zhanchang and the others, but his age and Zhu Zhanchang is exactly the same.

He has some physical features of the old Zhu family, his face is relatively long, and the young man looks pretty good, but his skin is dark from the sun and the wind all day long, and there are a lot of chapped places, which makes him look more able to endure hardship.

The commander of the capital, Ma Yang, came forward. This is a general in his 50s, dressed in military uniform: "Your subordinates will see the king of Han, the king of Zhujiang, and the king of Lanzhou. We are exhausted all the way. Please go to the city to rest first."

"No hurry." Zhu Gaojiu took out a roll of imperial decrees from the package box, Ma Yang and others knelt down immediately, while Zhu Gaojiu looked left and right, and then said to Zhu Zhanchang, "Where's your eunuch?"

"what happened?"

"My accompanying eunuch can't stand the weather in this place and is sick. This delicate body is not as good as a woman's. Now I have to read the imperial decree, so I can't live without the eunuch."

Zhu Zhanchang was speechless: "Second uncle, can't you read it yourself?"

"No, there are rules for everything. If there is a eunuch, the eunuch will read the imperial decree."

Zhu Zhanchang didn't know where Zhu Gaojiu's rule came from, he gave Xiaosheng a look, Xiaosheng walked over and took the imperial decree in Zhu Gaojiu's hands.

When the scroll opened, Xiaosheng looked at the content above with a look of astonishment, and looked at Zhu Zhanchang.

Zhu Zhanchang nodded to signal him to read.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhaori: King Suzhuang Zhu Qi guarded the northwest, dedicated himself to the utmost, upholding the style of the Ming clan, Zhu Xiyan, the eldest son of King Suzhuang, had a good character, was able to fight well, and was quite virtuous when he was the commander of Ganzhou. Name, I am grateful for his years of filial piety for not being the king of Su, and now I specially designate Zhu Suyan as the king of Su, and confiscate Ganzhou.

This sudden reward made Zhu Yanyan froze in place. Ma Yang touched him with his elbow and smiled: "Little Wangye, Xiaowangye, oh no, Su Wangye, don't hurry up and take the decree."

Only then did Zhu Yanyan react, and he quickly stepped forward and gave a military salute: "My minister, Zhu Yanyan has given the order to thank you."

Zhu Yanyan was very excited to the naked eye, and he took the imperial decree tremblingly. With a simple sentence, his identity was different. The throne of King Su and the original fiefs were all returned.

Why did Zhu Di do this?Because the original King Su came to the Northwest Border Pass with high prestige and many old subordinates, even the Seven Guards of Guanxi outside Yumen Pass respected him. As a concubine, Zhu Suyan inherited his throne at this time, and he could help Zhu Gaojiu at this time. The others went west to the Chagatai Khanate.

As long as Zhu Yanyan is not a little monster like Zhu Zhanchang, Zhu Di is very sure that Zhu Gaojiu can absolutely control this young cousin.

Zhu Yanyan held the imperial decree firmly in his hand, and Zhu Zhanchang called him uncle in turn, but he was the same age as Zhu Zhanchang, and a little younger than Zhu Zhanxi, what should he call him?

"Zhanzhen, I've seen Uncle Su." Zhu Zhanxun shouted first, and Zhu Zhanchang immediately picked up: "Zhanshan, I've seen Uncle Su." If the pronunciation is not very standard, it is easy to mispronounce it.

Ma Yang welcomed everyone into the city. The environment at the border was incomparable to that of the two capitals. Moreover, there was less water and more sand and the natural environment was unsatisfactory.

Several key figures were all around the table in the courtyard of the commander. Ma Yang showed that he handed over the golden seal of the tiger talisman to Zhu Gaojiu, and all the troops of this vassal were commanded by Zhu Gaojiu.

Ma Yang handed over the military talismans, talked about the current situation of the distribution of troops, and then said: "Lord Han, they have already received the news of this west expedition to the Chagatai Khanate, and they have sent envoys here, and now they are in Jiayuguan, you see. How is it?"

After so long, it is normal for them to get news, and the envoys are basically the first to go to war between the two countries.

"What did their envoys say?"

"Nature is here to ask for peace."

"What conditions?"

"There is no detailed discussion." Ma Yang understood the meaning of the court. This time, he was not really going to rescue the Timurid Kingdom, or he was going to attack your Chagatai Khanate. How could he talk to you about peace.

Zhu Gaojiao looked at Zhu Zhanchang: "Zhanchang, flicker, I'll leave the non-diplomatic matters to you. You know my character, and I have never talked about Wen Crepe."

"Don't, second uncle, what should I do if I don't get along with others and then beat them up again? We'll be at fault then, why don't we let the second brother go, the second brother has always been the most articulate among our brothers and can communicate with people. Such a person, court officials often praise him."

A big hat was praised to put on Zhu Zhanxuan first. Zhu Zhanxuan felt that it was time to show his diplomatic skills.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Zhanchang are not good people, is there any conspiracy, and they can't easily take over this burden.

Then he shied away: "I think Uncle Su has been more clear about Northwest affairs in Ganzhou over the years, why don't Uncle Su go."

Zhu Yanyan didn't even say any excuses: "Okay, I'll go." He had just been named King Su, and now there is a chance to show his talents. It's unreasonable to say so. Zhu Zhanzhen is embarrassed. took over.

"Uncle Su, no matter what the other party says, we must insist that the other party's attack on our tributary Timur Empire is an infringement of the dignity of Daming. If the other party is willing to exchange half of the country for our forgiveness, we can accept it." Zhu Zhanchang Explained a sentence.

"Zhanchang, how could the other party exchange half of the country's land."

"Yes, but second brother, we didn't plan to settle it peacefully. Grandpa Huang's purpose is to bring the Chagatai Khanate back to the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to negotiate. It's just that everyone has arrived, and diplomatic etiquette must be respected. "

Zhu Gaojiu looked at Ma Yang and said, "Commander Madu, tomorrow I will lead the army to Jiayuguan first. You find someone to inform the commander of the Seven Guards of Guanxi, and I will meet them at Jiayuguan."

"Yes, my lord."

"Also, Commander Ma Du, Zhan Chang will set up a factory in Suzhou (Jiuquan) behind Jiayuguan. You still need your help in this matter. Let Suzhou provide full assistance."

Ma Yang has also heard about Zhu Zhanchang's factory. If the factory can be set up in Suzhou, then even after the war is over, it will be beneficial to the development of the Northwest. How can this matter not be positive.

"My subordinate understands."

Seeing that Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Zhanzhen arranged things clearly, Zhu Zhanzhen was not very happy, and there was nothing he could do.

"Second uncle, when will we set off for our plan to attack the Chagatai Khanate?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked impatiently.

In recent years, he is not completely idle and idle. He is not good at learning literature, so he only learns martial arts. The errand, this is going to be a big fight.

But Zhu Gaojiu has always only discussed important matters with Zhu Zhanchang, not his share.

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Gaojiu's eyes flickered: "No hurry, wait for King Su's talk to come back and then set off on the expedition. The seven guards of Guanxi haven't met yet."

Regarding the next battle plan, the two tacitly did not disclose any information to Zhu Zhanzhen, so Zhu Zhanzhen felt angry, they were excluding themselves.

……

Several people separated, Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Suyan went to Jiayuguan, and Zhu Zhanshi went to Suzhou. The two were adjacent to each other or Jiayuguan was originally a part of Suzhou, but Jiayuguan was managed separately because it was an important area for border troops.

The team that Zhu Zhanchang brought this time was the heads of several major factories in Guangzhou, as well as some skilled craftsmen. Zhang San is naturally indispensable. He is now more and more experienced in managing factories.

Zhang San looked at the open space where Zhu Zhanchang brought him and said, "Your Highness, why did you build a hot air balloon factory first?"

"In addition to winning this battle, we must also let everyone understand that the gap in technology is an irreparable distance. We who have hot air balloons have absolute air dominance, so this time I plan to add hot air balloons to the siege. During the war, at the same time, the northwest is sparsely populated, and it is also a good place for Akka to experiment with aircraft."

"There is also a train between Jiayuguan and Suzhou that needs to be built quickly. The distance is only [-] miles away. Completing the construction as soon as possible can improve the follow-up supply capacity."

"All the required materials have been notified in advance and the delivery will begin one after another. Zhang San is related to the great cause of the Western Expedition. You and your subordinates will have to work hard these days. Maybe you won't have that much rest time. More, make sure everything is done in the fastest time possible.”

Zhang San immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

In Jiayuguan, King Su Zhu Yanyan arrived with Zhu Gaojiu, and Zhu Yanyan met with the envoys of the Chagatai Khanate for the first time.

"This is Mi Lu, Chagatai's envoy, and this is His Royal Highness Prince Su of Daming Zhu Suyan."

When I heard that King Su Chagatai's envoys were a little unbelievable, King Su had moved inland for many years, and his descendants had not inherited the title of King Su, so why did a King Su suddenly appear.

"His Royal Highness King Su, the great khan of our Chagatai Khanate, heard that your country wants to use swords against us, and you and I have always used well water not to violate river water. Why is this so?"

"Messenger of Milu, you are at war with the Timurid Empire. The Timurid Empire is a tributary state of our Ming Dynasty. We cannot sit idly by."

"As far as I know, the Timur Empire has not paid tribute to Daming for many years."

"But their princess came to my Daming a few years ago, and now it's our princess of Zhujiang County. This time it was the prince of Zhujiang County who led the troops."

It is reasonable for the son-in-law to help the father-in-law.
