Even until Yesu Die'er died, he never expected that Zhu Di would kill him without hesitation.
You must know that in the past, the Ming Dynasty even captured the Yuan Lord's son and had to return it in full, for fear of ruining its reputation for righteousness.
Even if the Han Dynasty court in the past dynasties attacked the enemy's ancestral temple, they would often spare the life of the emperor as a sign of benevolence and righteousness. He is a great Mongolian Khan. The Ming Dynasty will not and should not take his own life...
He did not expect that although he thought he was the Great Khan of Oara, in Daming's eyes, the so-called Oara was actually just a rebellious grassland bandit. How can he be called an emperor?
What's more, he himself strangled the Yuan Lord with a bowstring, but when he came to his own place, he arrogantly thought that he could be on an equal footing with the Ming Emperor, hoping that the enemy would be merciful... It can only be said that Yesudier was shot to death by Zhu Di, is the ending that suits him best.
Over there, by the time Zhang Yu and Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, who came to rescue him, rushed to Yanzi Daqi's side, Yesudier's body was already cold to the core. Those personal guards Qie Xue who were guarding Yesudier had already been tied up one by one. Seeing the King of Yan here in person and the body of Yesudier wearing expensive furs, everyone still didn't understand. Zhang Yu's eyes were filled with brilliance. He never expected that His Highness, King Yan, could attack an army of 100,000 people and kill the Great Khan of Wala in such a snowy night.
Fei Ju, who was covered in flying snow, had a look of disbelief. He walked quickly to the body of Yesudie'er, carefully distinguished the uniform on Yesudier's body, looked at it for a while and then asked with a glimmer of hope: "Your Highness, is this really the Great Khan of Wala?"
"It is indeed the Great Khan of Wala." Zhu Di nodded. "I, along with my fifth brother, negotiated face-to-face with this beast, and there is absolutely no possibility of admitting my mistake."
"This, this..." Fei Ju's face turned blue and white. He was stunned for a long time, and then he took off his helmet in annoyance: "Fourth Highness, Fei, I came all the way here, but you also left something for me. A bowl of soup."
"On the Jinluan Palace, we almost knocked our heads to the ground before snatching this job from our superiors. We almost got into a fight with those damn killers over this matter, and ended up crawling on ice and snow to get here, but... …”
"well!"
Fei Ju looked at Yesudie'er's body and was a little angry that the Wala Khan could not stand up for longer. He was able to go to war after all the troubles. When he heard that there might be war in the west, many nobles in the court were overwhelmed and wanted to go to the northwest to guard it.
Among them, the most competitive one should be Fu Youde. After all, Fu Youde expanded thousands of miles in the northwest and was famous... But now, all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are staring at the surrounding wars, like staring at fat wolves. The Timur Khanate in the northwest is considered by the nobles to be another place of great achievements after the grassland. Brothers are still counting on the merits of destroying the Bird Khanate to establish overseas borders. How shameless do you, Fu Youde, have the nerve to block the future of the brothers?
In the end, it was Fei Ju's acting and wallowing, and using his identity as "Huaixi Xunjiu" to pressure others, that made Fu Youde give up this opportunity. After all, Fei Ju is Lao Zhu's old friend, and he is closer to him than Fu Youde. In terms of emotions and reasons, Fu Youde is still not easy to argue with Fei Ju.
Throwing aside his face and offending the Fu Mansion, he had the opportunity to guard Suzhou. After staying patiently for half a year, I finally heard Zhang Yu's request for help...
As a result, I rushed over with joy and saw that the Wala sweat was already cold.
Fei Ju's heart felt cold.
"Actually, there are still areas where the Marquis of Pingliang needs help." Zhu Di saw Fei Ju's disappointed face and couldn't help but come out to offer some advice. "I defeated Yesudier this time through a surprise attack. Although I successfully killed him, the 100,000-strong army was destroyed and countless of them were scattered in all directions."
"Among them, there are some ambitious leaders who want to retreat to the grassland, claim the throne, and continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty. If they hide back in the grassland, they will inevitably hide everywhere when they come back. They will not be able to suppress them all, which will also be troublesome. "
"Please also ask the Marquis of Pingliang to take action and capture all these leaders... This is also a great achievement."
"...Okay, it's just some meat." Fei Ju finally cheered up after hearing this. He brought an army of 20,000 this time. After all, King Yan had few soldiers, so this matter could only be accomplished with manpower.
Although the merit is not as great as killing the Great Khan of Wala...but it can still accumulate some merit.
The Ming army in Suzhou began to block the retreat of the defeated army in Oala and put an end to this battle. Zhu Di slowly returned to Hami City with Yesudier's body, as well as the confiscated gold account and nine white silk banners.
In Hami City, the news that Yesudier died in a surprise attack by the Ming army has spread throughout the city. People of all races in the city have begun to spontaneously jump and cheer to celebrate the end of this battle that lasted for several months. , Yao Guangxiao was waiting at the city gate to welcome Zhu Di's return.
"His Royal Highness sent troops on a snowy night and accomplished an unparalleled feat. This poor monk sincerely congratulates His Highness."
"It's nothing, just taking advantage of the tools... Those Wala people have never seen such things as sleds and snowboards, so they were caught off guard." Zhu Di said. He wanted to laugh when he thought of the panicked look of the Oara people when the sleigh rushed into the Oara formation just now. Gein recalled what his fifth brother said in the past: "If you don't understand mathematics and physics, everything is a myth." Those Wala people looked like they had seen a ghost, which was not the case.
"The benefits of the utensils are so great..." Zhu Di said with emotion.
"Yes." Yao Guangxiao was also very emotional. "For thousands of years, the grasslands of northern Xinjiang have been a serious problem for our Central Plains. All dynasties have spent millions of soldiers and countless expenditures, but they can't be cured. I never thought that today's solution would be solved with firearms, sleds, sweaters and other inconspicuous items. Small items.”
"The new knowledge of His Highness Fifth Prince Shizhi: 'Technology is the strongest means for civilization to defeat barbarism', which is indeed a wise saying."
"China's border troubles have not been cured yet," Zhu Di said. "To the west, the Timur Empire is still eyeing me. Further west, there are many countries standing in the sky. I don't know when they will covet my Chinese territory in the future."
"The only way to cure it is to march westward and make all people in the world become our Chinese people. Only in this way can the world be united and China be in peace forever."
"It's just a matter of defending the city of Hami, which is a trivial matter. I am planning to annex the country of Yili in the coming spring, and then destroy the Timur Empire..."
"Old monk, there is still a shortage of mature people in the king's army... Are you willing to help me?"
Yao Guangxiao shuddered and turned to look at Zhu Di, as if he didn't expect that Zhu Di would be so frank in trying to win over him. He hesitated for a while, then handed over his hand and said: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for help. I am willing to do my best..."
"However, I would like to ask Your Highness to allow the poor monk to explain something to His Highness the Fifth Highness. After all, the poor monk is an official under the command of His Highness the Fifth Highness, and Hexi is the key to the west of the Ming Dynasty. Proper arrangements must be made to incorporate this place into our territory of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Fifth brother will agree." Zhu Di smiled. He accepted Yao Guangxiao not to seize the direct heir, but to expand the territory for the Western Expedition. This ambition was under the conscious or unconscious guidance of his fifth brother. Zhu Di believed that he would not be reluctant to let go of a monk.
Moreover, this old monk is quite compatible with him... Zhu Di believes that as long as he helps him, he will be able to lead the invincible Ming army to the end of the world.
