Daming heir

The entire Datong has entered a state of war.

Everything is being prepared for the coming war.

Countless supplies of grain and grass arrived from the south and were then distributed to various armies.

Half of the 1000 or [-] artillery pieces were also escorted to Xuanfu Town in the east by the Jinyiwei people with soldiers and horses in the city.

The scouts who came out of the customs before leaving the customs set off one after another to investigate the movements of the Tatar tribe on the grassland.

Everyone is busy and no one has time.

"I thought that when Tie Xuan came, I would be able to rest, but who would have thought that I would be even busier than before."

In a palace in the front palace of the Dai Wang Mansion, Zhu Yunxi leaned on a chair, looking at a hill piled up in front of him, and it was still increasing in height at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was thinking helplessly.

Zhu Gaochi folded his arms and stood in front of a huge map of borders and grasslands.

Countless red and blue bright flags have been planted on the Kanyu, and thin lines connect these flags together.

"He has a reputation as a mass murderer. If he doesn't do anything after he comes here, it will make the soldiers suspicious."

Zhu Gaochi said casually, and then planted a small flag at the exact location based on the latest news sent back from outside the customs.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi took a few steps back, looking quite proudly at the map he had sorted out of the latest situation between the two parties.

"Thanks to the heavy snowfall last year, it was difficult for the Tatars to penetrate deep into the Far North, which would shorten the subsequent marching distance of our army."

Zhu Gaochi thought as he changed his posture.

The left hand is placed under the elbow of the right arm, and the right hand is supporting the chin.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound came from behind Zhu Gaochi.

After taking a brief breath of relief, Zhu Yunxi held his own treasure seal of the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty in both hands, and placed it heavily on a piece of writing presented by Tie Xuan.

He tilted his head somewhat casually and looked at the little fat man standing in front of Kanyu, muttering feebly.

"You didn't consider that our army can only wait for the snow on the grasslands to melt and the roads to harden before they can go north. If so, the Tatars can continue to flee to the far north."

Zhu Gaochi clicked his tongue and frowned slightly.

After a while, he slowly said: "I forgot to consider this. If this is the case, then before the army leaves the pass and goes north, we will send out several more lines of cavalry, commanded by experienced generals in the army. Enter the steppe and go around to the front of the Tatars.”

Zhu Yunxi hummed, then as if he thought of something, he straightened up in his chair, leaned forward and bowed his head among the hill-like memorial documents.

It didn't take long for him to find a document he wanted to memorialize.

"Tie Dingshi, together with officials from various ministries and military generals, have discussed and decided to send three groups of troops to go around the front of the Tatars to block them."

Zhu Gaochi immediately turned around: "Who is there?"

"On the Datong side is Liang Guogong Lan Yu, and on the Xuanfu Town side is Ying Guogong Fu Youde. There is also a group of troops led by Song Guogong Feng Sheng."

Bang!
Another muffled sound.

Zhu Yunxi explained the three candidates who had been decided by Tie Xuan and others to lead the troops north in advance and intercept the Tatar tribe in a detour, and conveniently changed the seal of the Emperor Taisun on a document.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "We actually asked three old princes to lead the troops to intercept the Tatar tribe. This battle is really extravagant, and it is rare in the 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunxi was noncommittal.

No one can say that this time the Beizheng lineup is not luxurious.

In the past, whether it was Lan Yu, Fu Youde or Feng Sheng, they could all command a northward expedition on their own, but now they could only serve as a surprise soldier and personally lead the troops in a detour to intercept the Tatar tribe.

"We all think that before we can no longer go into battle to kill enemies, we can accumulate some merit for our descendants. My great-uncle said that you will only kill enemies for the rest of your life, but I just listened to it." Zhu Yunxi said casually.

Bang.

He also changed his seal on a document.

Suspicion appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face: "What did you find? What did they do without telling you?"

"It's not that I'm hiding anything." Zhu Yunxi shook his head and explained: "It's just that I reviewed the list of military generals a few days ago and found that Lan Chun was also among the generals in the Northern Expedition, and he was responsible for the errands of Qianhuguan. . Each of the meritorious families in the DPRK also had their children drawn into the battle."

Zhu Gaochi blinked: "Are you going to get gold plating?"

I have always had the habit of bringing the younger members of my family to battle together, firstly because we can work together, and secondly to pull the younger ones along.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head and said: "They are quite obedient. They don't dare to just show off. They are all on the list of going forward to conquer, and no one is left to stay behind."

Bang.

There was another muffled sound.

Zhu Gaochi's brows couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he turned around and said, "In this direction of Jiubian, are the Third Uncle and my father leading the troops?"

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "The soldiers and horses going north are led by several uncles. Tie Xuan is the general in charge of everything in this northern expedition, but military matters must be left to those who know the military. , he will probably make decisions and coordinate various directions, focusing on post-war matters."

Bang bang bang.

Three muffled sounds came out in succession.

Zhu Yunxi put down the heavy treasure seal in his hand, put his hands together, and slowly turned his stiff wrists.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, glanced at the pile of memorial documents that had not yet been sealed, and couldn't help but shrink his head.

Just when he was about to continue playing with his share of honour.

A sound that he expected immediately came out.

"Tired."

"You come and seal it."

"Don't let me find the opportunity when I look back, otherwise Tiedingshi will die from exhaustion."

After cursing, Zhu Yunxi stood up sullenly and walked past Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened: "Hey! That's your grandson's treasure seal!"

"I'm going to find something else to do. You can get started first."

Zhu Yunxi walked out of the house without looking back.

However, when he just walked to the door and stood behind the threshold, his feet had not yet been raised.

There was a group of figures outside, hurriedly pressing towards him.

Tie Xuan, who had been in Datong City for several days, led a group of civil and military officials, each holding a small pile of memorials and documents in their hands.

When Tie Xuan saw Zhu Yunxi behind the door, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's a coincidence that I see His Highness. I have several memorial documents here that need to be reviewed and sealed by Your Highness."

Zhu Gaochi, who had been sitting unwillingly in front of the document just now, holding the treasure seal in his hands, looked at the officials who walked in with wide eyes.

"How many books can this be?" Zhu Gaochi had a look in his eyes that he wanted to kill Tie Xuan on the spot. He pressed the treasure seal in his hand heavily on a memorial that had just been spread out in front of him, and then stared at Looking at Tie Xuan at the door: "Tie Dingshi, did you do it on purpose?"

Zhu Yunxi, who wanted to let himself go for a while, turned around helplessly and stepped back under Tie Xuan's smile.

Tie Xuan, with a happy face, said with a smile: "Why did the prince say this? I just divided every matter more carefully. This is also to prevent the people below from slacking off."

Bang!
Zhu Gaochi closed his mouth tightly, held the treasure seal with both hands, and covered it heavily on another document.

Zhu Yunxi was on the side, looking solemnly at Tie Xuan who suddenly put down his business and ran over in person: "What's the matter with Dingshi? He came here today."

Tie Xuan immediately turned around, nodded and folded his hands: "I have something to do, and I hope to get His Highness's approval before I can execute it." After saying this, he had already taken out a copy from his sleeves. A memorial with an exquisite cover.

Zhu Yunxi took it casually and opened the cover page.

Tie Xuan has already explained: "I hope that your highness will agree. If the leader of the Tatar tribe is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he will be granted the title of king, be given land, and build a guard. If there are Tatar tribe herdsmen who come to surrender, they will be rewarded with Han land." Enter the Yellow Book.

If neither of them are willing, I ask His Highness for permission to purchase cattle, sheep, furs and other items on the grassland at three times the market price.Enzhun set up a market at the border to sell salt, iron, tea, silk and other items. "

Zhu Gaochi, who was stamping the big seal, immediately raised his head and stared at Tie Xuan with wide eyes at the exit where there were several conspiracies.

"You want to sell iron to the Tartars!"

Zhu Yunxi remained silent, just thinking quietly.

Tie Xuan explained: "This is a conspiracy. I want to alienate the Tatar tribe and make the grassland herdsmen suspicious. And if I sell iron to the Tatar tribe, they will not be able to use it in a short time." , forge weapons to fight our army.”

As he spoke, Tie Xuan took out two other memorials that had been prepared in advance from his sleeve.

"Your Highness, here is a memorial requesting Your Majesty to confer Mahamu of the Oara tribe and Abuzhi of the Tartar tribe as kings. Please sign and seal it and send it to Yingtian."

Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly.

"That's right."

After saying that, Zhu Yunxi reached out his hand again and took the two memorials.

He turned around and walked to the document, spread out the three memorials, and then looked up at Xiaopang.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head silently: "I can do it by canonizing Mahamu and Abu as kings. No matter how great the effect is, it will at least make the Oara tribe and the Tatar tribe internally alienated and suspicious of each other.

But selling iron to the Tatar Ministry still needs to be discussed.This is a conspiracy to hollow out the foundation of the Tatar Ministry.

But the soldiers below didn't understand. They only thought that they were fighting bloody battles for the imperial court.But we are still doing business with the Tatars. "

Tie Xuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The scouts who came out from the front came to report that the Tatar tribe already knew that our country wanted to use the entire country's troops on the grassland.

They are already gathering tribes scattered all over the grassland and recruiting soldiers and horses to fight our dynasty on the grassland.

At this time, we just sell some iron to them at a loss, so what's the harm?

It is impossible for the Tatars to have countless skilled craftsmen and build more than 1000 artillery pieces like the imperial court.

And once they are short of food and grass, the Tatars, who have assembled countless soldiers and horses, will inevitably fall into civil strife as long as they suffer a few defeats on the battlefield. "

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to stop what he had not yet said.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Tie Xuan and asked, "Do the people below think this plan is feasible?"

Tie Xuan nodded: "Lang Guogong said that no matter how much the court gives out right now, he will get back double the amount later."

Bang bang bang!
Three muffled sounds were heard in the house again.

Zhu Yunxi put together the sealed memorials and handed them to Tie Xuan.

"Go do it."

Tie Xuan took the memorial, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please retire."

"I'm waiting to retire."

The civil and military officials who followed Tie Xuan also bowed and resigned one after another.

Zhu Gaochi looked angrily at Tie Xuan, who came and left quickly, feeling annoyed.

They waited until Tie Xuan's back disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi laugh.

"The old man is good at choosing people. Look at our man Tu just now. If he didn't know what was going on, he would have thought that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty had been bypassed by him."

Zhu Yunxi had a smile on his face and clasped his hands on the table.

Zhu Gaochi hummed twice and finally sighed.

"What I'm angry about is that he obviously could have found another way, but he didn't want to be a good official. If he does this now, he will no longer have a seat in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunxi also let out a long sigh.

"Keystone loves me and his heart is still vivid in my mind."

The faint voice never subsided for a long time.

Tie Xuan seemed to have a tough attitude just now, but he came with a group of civil and military personnel.

When these things fell into the eyes of those people, it was natural that Tiedingshi, the human butcher, had already held the say in this nationwide Northern Expedition in his own hands based on the emperor's will.

Then, no matter what he does, no matter what happens on the grasslands outside the pass, it will have nothing to do with the wise, mighty and kind emperor grandson.

"He has made up his mind to be a lonely minister."

Zhu Gaochi sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhu Yunxi hummed, turned around and sat aside.

"Now that it's been decided, let him be a lonely minister."

……

"When we leave the border this time, we must prepare to go deep alone."

"We have brought enough dry food, and there will be military rations delivered ahead. After we go some distance, we will have to rely on robbing the Tatars for food."

"Everyone should carry a double supply of swords and guns, and a triple supply of bows and arrows."

"I only have one sentence."

"Follow me and kill the wolf cubs together. All the spoils will be yours, and I will also share my military exploits with you."

"But if you are weak and want me to pull you back, then it has nothing to do with you."

Outside the city of Datong.

By the Royal River.

It was still the familiar dirt platform at the training ground.

Sapphire was wearing armor, with one hand on his waist and the other pressing a knife, leading the war horse to the densely packed area in front of him, and the officers and soldiers who were fully equipped kept roaring.

There was a burst of laughter in the military formation.

Everyone is waiting for the final military order to be issued.

Lan Yu turned to look at the city.

On top of the city, there was a group of figures.

He knew that among these figures, there was the emperor's grandson, Tu Tiedingshi, and many generals who were about to leave the border to fight the Tatars head-on.

Lan Yu's face perked up, and she struggled to pull out the sword from her waist.

"Get on the horse!"

"Let's go!"
