The grassland is vast and boundless. The probability of being able to install it like this is smaller than an arrow suddenly falling from the sky and hitting yourself.
So small that it's almost impossible to ignore.
Moreover, even if it is installed, Handu will still release Tanma during the day. If Shi Lietuo followed him, it would be impossible for an army of tens of thousands to hide from Tan Ma.
There must be a ghost here!
Although Han Du didn't say it directly, he already had doubts about Zhu Di's sudden departure. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? He suddenly left himself behind, and not long after, he was surrounded by the dead soldiers of Tuo Shen, as if they were descending from the sky.
If it weren't for the fierce firepower of Shanzi Camp, he would have become food in the belly of the beast.
And ever since he knew that Monk Daoyan had followed Zhu Di, Han Du had been on guard against these two people all the time. Monk Dao Yan can do anything.
But these are all his own guesses. Without real evidence, Han Du cannot do anything to King Yan. Even if there is real evidence, as long as Zhu Di does not rebel, I am afraid that Lao Zhu will choose to make peace, reduce the big matter to a trivial matter, and finally let it go.
However, after this incident, Han Du also noticed that Zhu Di was unusual. Judging from Zhu Di's various methods now, he is not as well-behaved as recorded in history. His ambition may not have been born out of the pressure to reduce the vassal. Perhaps at this moment, his ambition has already begun. bud.
When Han Du arrived at Dagokou, he immediately ordered the navy waiting here to prepare to go south back to Beijing.
People can go by boat, but tens of thousands of war horses cannot go by boat. Besides, the place where the Ming Dynasty needs war horses the most is the border area. If the war horses were transported back to the capital and then to the border, it would be like taking off their pants and farting, and it would be unnecessary.
Therefore, the best choice is to hand over all these war horses to the court. And here, it can only be handed over to the Peking court.
Since Han Du was in a hurry, he left Tang Ding to deal with the handover of the war horses while he quickly returned to Beijing by boat.
Togu Si Timur took his prince Tianbaonu to board Handu's flagship. Of course, he did not know that it was Handu's flagship.
Since Han Du confirmed that Togu Si Timur was the Emperor of Beiyuan, Han Du could not let him out of his sight.
"I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would have such tall warships now." Togu Si Timur sighed, feeling a little powerless in his heart. Although he didn't understand what industrial strength meant as national strength, he could still see the strength of the Ming Dynasty from these warships.
When Tuogusi Timur succeeded to the throne, he also thought that through his hard work, the Yuan Dynasty would be able to send his army southward again and take back the Central Plains from the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Even before this defeat, he had full energy and confidence in this.
However, after experiencing the disastrous defeat and seeing these warships, Togu Si Timur's hope for Bei Yuan to re-enter the customs was completely shattered.
He knew that unless such a powerful Ming Dynasty fell apart, Dayuan had no chance.
"Is this your first time boarding a ship?" Han Du asked with some confusion when he saw that Togu Si Timur's eyes were filled with admiration for the warship.
Togu Si Timur nodded and said: "Yes. Although I have heard my father and ministers talk about big ships since I was a child,
How tall and spacious it is, but this is the first time to actually get on board. "
Han Du shook his head and looked at Togu Si Timur with eyes full of sympathy, "Then you have to be prepared. The first time you take a boat is not a pleasant experience."
Um? Before Togu Si Timur could react, Han Du turned around and left to make arrangements for the departure.
A few days later, Han Du returned to the capital smoothly.
As soon as the ship docked, Togu Si Timur and Tianbaonu couldn't wait to get off the ship. His feet swayed uncontrollably a few times, and he fell to the ground. But even though they fell to the ground in such a mess, the two of them felt that this was much better than taking a boat. It was obvious that they had been suffering from seasickness these days.
Han Du had just arrived outside the Jinchuan Gate. Before he entered the city, he saw Zhu Biao riding a fast horse and rushed out first, heading straight for him.
"Uu~" Zhu Biao reined in his horse in front of Han Du.
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao, a long-lost feeling came to his heart, and he grinned and said, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Biao turned over and dismounted, throwing the reins to the guards who were following closely.
He opened his hands and stepped forward to protect Han Du, hugging him tightly. "Han Du, you are finally back. You have worried me to death these days."
"I am guilty, and your Highness is worried." Han Du smiled and bowed to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao let go of Han Du and patted his arm several times.
Suddenly I saw a person behind Han Du. This person was wearing a Beiyuan dragon robe? Zhu Biao was suddenly surprised and asked in disbelief: "This...is this?"
Zhu Biao's lips trembled uncontrollably, and the fingers pointing at Emperor Yuan kept trembling.
"Emperor Beiyuan, Tuogusi Timur." Han Du said calmly.
Zhu Biao swallowed his saliva violently, looked at Han Du again with wide eyes, and asked: "Did you catch him? How did you catch him? Do you know that when your father learned that his uncle had made a big mistake? Beiyuan Royal Court, but after letting him run away, even my father felt regretful and regretful more than once. I didn't expect that my father's regret would be made up for by you in the end."
Seeing Zhu Biao's curiosity, Han Du did not hide anything, so he told in detail how he met Togu Si Timur and how he was captured.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh when he heard that the dignified Emperor Beiyuan was reduced to the point where he was almost killed by his subordinates.
Then he turned to look at Han Du and said with a deep feeling smile: "In the vast prairie, you were able to meet him by such a coincidence. I don't even know what to say about you. Your good luck is simply unheard of. .”
Suddenly, Zhu Biao thought of something and became excited. He quickly grabbed Han Du's arm and tried to drag him away. "Quick, quick, quick, my father must be very happy that you have made such a great contribution. You can take this opportunity to ask your father to release your uncle."
"Huh? Your Highness, what you mean is that Lan Yu was imprisoned by the emperor?" Han Du immediately realized that Lao Zhu must have known about Lan Yu's plot to break through the border with troops.
But even if Lan Yu breaks through the barrier with his troops, the crime will not lead to death, right? You must know that Lan Yu has just destroyed Beiyuan, which was a great achievement in destroying the country. Even if he is guilty of breaking Xifeng Pass, shouldn't the merits and demerits be equal to each other?
Han Du frowned, thinking that Lao Zhu was a little too stingy? This is over
It’s totally unlike Lao Zhu’s previous style!
"Do you know about uncle?" Seeing that Han Du didn't look surprised, Zhu Biao thought that Han Du must have heard about Lan Yu.
"I heard something." Han Du nodded.
Zhu Biao was about to continue talking to Han Du, but suddenly stopped, looked back at Togu Si Timur, and pulled Han Du forward, away from Togu Si Timur.
"After my uncle was imprisoned by my father, I have thought of all the ways I can think of these days, but I can't let my father calm down. Now I can only look at you. My uncle is your sworn brother, and you won't be reluctant to part with yourself. Take the credit, just sit back and do nothing, right?”
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao talking about his troops, he looked at him contemptuously, sneered, and said nothing. Credit? Since being granted the title of Marquis, when has Han Du ever paid attention to his merits?
Even if you want to take credit, it will only make sense after you ascend the throne. Because of his merits at that time, he could advance to a higher level and become a duke.
The current credit can only be exchanged for some money from Lao Zhu.
But I, Han Du, am now short of money?
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao with some doubts and asked: "Is the emperor really so angry this time? Although Lan Yu's troops broke through the barrier, it was indeed a bit lawless, but this time he accomplished the task of destroying the country. Could it be that even with such merits, the emperor is not able to calm down, and the merits and demerits are equal to each other?"
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "If we just send troops to break through the pass, there is no way my father will imprison my uncle."
At this point, Zhu Biao stopped, looked back at Togu Si Timur in the distance, and said to Han Du: "I had an affair with Concubine Yuan, which made Concubine Yuan commit suicide in shame. And there was a censor who sued his uncle for breeding. The slave of Zhuang and the adopted son were tyrannical and occupied people's fields. They were punished for several crimes. Even if my uncle's contribution was great, my father would have to put him in prison."
Is he having an affair with Concubine Yuan?
Han Du's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that Lan Yu could do such a thing.
What's the matter with Concubine Yuan? This is just a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, it means that the Blue Jade Overlord is going hard on Concubine Yuan. It even caused Concubine Yuan to commit suicide.
As for raising village slaves and adopted sons, and domineering and occupying people's land, these are naturally serious crimes. But in normal times, taking out these crimes alone would not be able to do anything to Lan Yu. The great thing is that he was punished by Lao Zhu, cut off some food, and beat him.
Therefore, the most important thing in this matter is that the first one had an affair with Concubine Yuan, which caused Concubine Yuan to commit suicide in shame; the second column broke through Xifeng Pass, which was almost akin to rebellion...
When Han Du thought of these two, he suddenly felt a headache as if he was going to explode.
Zhu Biao, however, had hope in Han Du and held Han Du's hand, wanting him to plead for Lan Yu in front of his father.
"Hurry up, you are the only one who can plead for your uncle now."
Han Du used his backhand to pull Zhu Biao's hand, with a bitter look on his face, and sighed: "Will it be useful if I just go?"
Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't understand what Han Du meant.
Han Du had no choice but to signal Zhu Biao to look at Tuogusi Timur in the distance, "It would be better if I didn't bring him back. If I go and beg for mercy, maybe the emperor can turn a blind eye and take Lan Yu away." Let go. But now..."
Lan Yu, how can you be so capable!
