Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 185 The Northern Expedition
The old man said impatiently: "Okay, okay, Kuisheng, you send all these New Year's goods to Dashan and Tiehammer's home overnight, so as not to make their family suspicious."

"Yes, Dad."

Kui Sheng responded quickly, then picked up the package, and walked out in the dark.

When he got outside the house, he found that the people from the same village who came back with him also came out of their respective homes, knocked on the neighbor's door one by one, and started delivering New Year's goods overnight.

Kui Sheng couldn't help feeling relieved.

Soon, the whole village became noisy.

At the same time, under the Beiping Mansion, I don't know how many villages, like Kuisheng's village, suddenly became noisy at night.

Many people didn't sleep peacefully that night, but they slept very soundly.

……

The next day.

The entire King Yan Mansion was beaming with joy.

However, in less than half a day, the news that King Yan wantonly distributed meat and New Year's goods to all the people in the mansion spread throughout the city of Beiping.

From the chief envoy to the capital commander, and then to all the gentry and common people in the city, they were all dumbfounded.

"Wait, where did you hear this rumor? There are nearly 2 people in Yanwang's mansion, including the three guards of Yanshan. Where does Yanwang's mansion get so much meat?"

"It's extremely, it's extremely, even if it's two taels of meat for one person, how much does it cost? How much money will it cost?"

……

"One of our distant relatives is Binghu, who works in Yanshan Youwei. We went to ask about it, and there is no such thing!"

"...a cousin of our father-in-law's family works as a clerk in Yan Wang's mansion, it's okay..."

"Tsk, you're spreading rumors everywhere every day..."

"It's absolutely true..."

Even though the story of Yan Wang's heroic distribution of meat for the Spring Festival was well-known in the Beiping Mansion, many people still chose not to believe it.

And the entire Yanwang Mansion, including those artisan households who only received two taels of meat, faced the curious inquiries of those people, and they all categorically denied it.

But the officials of the chief envoy, the inspector, and the commander are full of bitterness.

They knew that the New Year's goods distributed by King Yan were not just what the rumors said!

Prodigal Prince!

……

"Hmph, what a prodigal prince!"

In Yingtian City, in Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu looked at the news from Jin Yiwei, and complained angrily to Zhu Biao beside him.

"The dignified King Yan actually slaughtered five hundred hogs, five hundred sheep, and five hundred chickens and ducks to distribute New Year's goods up and down the palace of King Yan. But for our father, he only sent ten hogs, Ten sheep, and ten catties of sugar."

Zhu Biao lightly smiled and comforted: "Father, please calm down, after the New Year's Eve, Duke Song and Duke Ying will lead an army to the north.

This time the fourth child will also go out with the army. It just so happens that this year the Yan Palace seems to have made some money, giving some favors to the whole family. After the expedition, the fourth child will have less worries about the future.

The boy thinks that the fourth child is doing the right thing..."

"We heard that this matter was advised by the long history Guo An?" Old Zhu asked thoughtfully.

Zhu Biao replied, "It seems to be this person."

Old Zhu nodded slightly, "There is such a long history in Lao Si's house, so we can rest assured."

Zhu Biao looked emotional, "Yes, I heard that although this person is a long history, he never pays attention to political affairs, and has a clear division of labor with the long history Zhu Fu. He spends all day thinking about researching some craftsmen's things, and has never had any struggle for power. Heart."

Old Zhu smiled lightly, "Biao'er, you still underestimate this man."

Zhu Biao's face changed, "What does the emperor mean?"

Old Zhu said: "Although this person does not have the heart to fight for power and profit, he is a very talented person. Just the things he has researched have made everyone in Yanwang's palace admire him very much.

The most important thing is that this person can bring benefits to the entire Prince Yan Mansion.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the stomach is the biggest when you are full.

We think that all the officials in Yanwang's mansion probably respect this person more than Zhu Fu, the long history.

Even the fourth child, in some matters, will listen to this person's words! "

Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, "Father means that this person has a lot of schemes?"

Lao Zhu shook his head slowly, "Probably not, we never heard that this person deliberately wins over anyone?

Moreover, the fourth child is a ghost, if this person makes any small moves, the fourth child should be able to detect it. "

"Father is wise."

Zhu Biao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "But this person has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty!"

"Well, as long as this son does not have any ambitions, he will definitely be my great minister in the future."

Old Zhu nodded slightly, then said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, you have also seen the newly built cement pier in the north of the city.

We are going to use cement paving to build some concrete roads, what do you think? "

"Paving cement roads?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help thinking, "I don't know where the father wants to build the concrete road?"

Old Zhu said: "We want to repair and go to Xi'an."

Zhu Biao was startled, "Father, the capital is far away from Xi'an. How many young men are needed just to call for labor, and now the Beiyuan has not yet been destroyed..."

"Let's think about it again..."

……

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the second day of the first lunar month.

Feng Sheng, Duke of Song State, and Fu Youde, Duke of Ying State, who have been training the army in Beiping Mansion for a year and a half, finally received the emperor's order.

Feng Sheng, Duke of the Song Dynasty, was ordered to conquer the captives, Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, was appointed as the Deputy General of the Left, Lanyu, the Marquis of Yongchang, was the Deputy General of the Right, Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, and Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, were the Generals of the Left, Huhai, the Marquis of Dongchuan, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, were the Marquis of the Right. At that time, Shang Hao, the former military governor and military counselor, led an army of 20 in the Northern Expedition.

In addition, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, Deng Zhen, Duke of Shen, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, etc., and the descendants of the founding heroes all marched with the army of the Northern Expedition.

Obviously, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao and other second generations of martial arts were sent by Lao Zhu to practice on the battlefield with veterans such as Feng Sheng and Fu Youde.

As for Yan Wang Zhu Di, he led the left and right guards of Yanshan Mountain and went out with the army.

Although he is not the commander of the army, but when necessary, Yan Wang Zhu Di can directly take over the power of the commander of the army.

On this point, the Northern Expedition Army knew it clearly, and no one objected.

Just a few days after the New Year's Eve, Lao Zhu's will was sent to Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, Nanaha only has 20 people in Jinshan, right?"

In the hall of mind, Guo An said with a relaxed face.

"more than!"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly, "For so many years, the Beiyuan officials, generals and troops who retreated from the defeat in the pass to Liaodong have all gathered under Nahachu's command.

Therefore, Naha's strength should be more than that of my Da Ming. "

"That's enough."

Guo An was full of confidence, "In this battle, I, Da Ming, will definitely be able to easily win Nanaha."

"It's natural."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Since the year before last, my father has been going to Songtingguan, Daning, Huizhou, and Fuyu to store grain and some weapons and equipment.

As long as the Northern Expeditionary Army arrives, Nanahachu will surely be defeated in one fell swoop. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo An said casually.

Zhu Di turned his head, looked at Guo An and said teasingly, "So, Guo Changshi doesn't need to worry."

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness misunderstood, I have never been worried."

"That's good."

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"According to the imperial father's will, the Northern Expedition Army will arrive in Tongzhou in half a month. When we arrive there, we need to take Guo Qing into the Northern Expedition Army, and please Guo Qing get ready."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I have already prepared everything."

Guo An said solemnly.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

However, it was the first time to participate in such a large-scale war, and it would be a lie if Guo An was not nervous.

Fortunately, Guo An had already disclosed to Liu Baiwei and Father Guo about going out with the army.

Therefore, this New Year's Eve, Guo's father brought Guo's mother and his family to Beiping Mansion.

Until now, he has not returned.

I heard that in half a month, Guo An will go out with the army.

Mother Guo and Liu Baiwei, apart from worrying about Guo An's hard life in the military camp, were not very worried about Guo An's safety.

After all, everyone knows that the Northern Yuan Tartars are no longer Daming's opponents.

Moreover, Guo An was still following King Yan, basically as long as King Yan was fine, Guo An would be fine.

……

Time flies, and half a month will soon pass.

February [-]rd.

The Northern Expedition Army arrived in Tongzhou.

Zhu Di led the two guards on the left and right of Yanshan, and [-] soldiers were incorporated into the army of the Northern Expedition.

Feng Sheng sent sentry scouts according to Lao Zhu's instructions, and Naha sent troops to station in Gyeongju as expected.

Therefore, Feng Sheng directly ordered the left deputy general Lan Yu to lead [-] Qingqi, braved the heavy snow to attack and kill.

Taking advantage of Guolai, the defender of Qingzhou, who was defenseless, Lan Yu beheaded Guolai directly, and captured Guolai's son, Bu Lanxi, and thousands of Northern Yuan Tartars.

Immediately, the army took advantage of the victory to pursue.

In March, the Northern Expeditionary Army left Songting Pass.

For the sake of safety, Feng Sheng ordered the army to repair in Daning, and built four cities of Kuanhe, Huizhou, Fuyu, and Daning.

And along the way, Guo An just followed Zhu Di and went northward with the mighty army. Apart from feeling that the march was hard, he didn't even fire a single shell.

Very boring.

With the Northern Expedition Army stationed in Daning, Nahachu on Jinshan even directly abandoned Jinshan, the old nest that has been in business for many years, and ran to Taizhou.

Regarding this, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and the others were not in a hurry, and while sending sentry cavalry around, they began to look for fighter opportunities.

Been waiting for two months.

The weather has gradually warmed up, and Zhu Di and Guo An are sitting in the room boredly, staring at a map of Liaodong in front of them in a daze.

Suddenly, a personal guard reported from outside the house.

"His Royal Highness, the general invites His Royal Highness King Yan to discuss matters with the commander's account."

"The king will go now."

Zhu Di responded, put on his armor and went out under the attendant of his personal guards.

As for Guo An, he could only sit on the sidelines bored.

However, in less than a moment.

Another personal guard shouted outside: "Guo Changshi, His Highness King Yan invites you to go to the commander's tent."

"I'll go right away."

Guo An was startled, and quickly responded. With the help of the two personal guards of King Yan on the left and right, he put on a set of leather armor and went to the commander's tent.

"The next official, Guo An, has met His Royal Highness King Yan and met all the generals!"

In the commander's tent, a group of generals have already gathered.

"Guo Qing, please get up quickly," Zhu Di said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Guo An got up, he found that there was another tartar in the handsome tent, and he couldn't help but bewildered!
Zhu Di turned to the tartar and said, "Nai Lawu, this person is Guo An, the descendant of Guo Taishi, and now he is the right chief history of our palace."

Nailawu's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed to Guo An: "Nailawu has met Guo Changshi!"

"Your Highness, who is this person?" Guo An asked suspiciously.

Zhu Di said: "This person is Nahachu's former trusted general, who was captured by our Ming Dynasty and surrendered to our Daming. This time, he brought his father's imperial seal to persuade Nahachu to surrender."
