Hearing the noise outside the door, Ma Liang stood up, walked out of the felt tent, and asked carefully about the reason.
It turned out that Grand Master Ye Xian suddenly issued an order last night, ordering the army to set off early this morning to launch the second round of attack on Ming Dynasty.
First of all, I was not so excited at first, but when the new envoy from the Ming Dynasty arrived, they first consecrated Boyan Timur as the loyal king and his daughter as the respected talent. Forget it, then his sister Zhencai Ren immediately fell out of favor and was instantly replaced by the new stunning beauty brought by the mission.
This was enough to make Rang Yexian a coward. What was even more annoying was that Boyan Timur, who had always been attracted to the Ming Dynasty, actually took Huang Pu to drink.
When Boyan Timur and Huang Pu were full of wine and food, and the host and guest were enjoying themselves, they walked out of the big tent together. The way they put their arms around each other and called each other brothers and sisters completely angered Ye Xian.
Ye Xian secretly vowed in his heart that he must capture the old capital of the Yuan Dynasty and show it to the pro-Ming faction within Mongolia.
When Ma Liang inquired about the news clearly and returned to the felt tent, Zhu Qizhen was hugging the beauty from left to right, comfortably nestled in the bed with his arms around her.
Seeing Ma Liang come in, Zhu Qizhen quickly asked: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the army is about to move out. Grand Master Ye has ordered us to attack at full speed and capture Yanghe tomorrow."
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Has the mission left?"
"The mission left early in the morning and has been gone for an hour now."
When people are in Wala, they can't help themselves.
Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to get up, hurriedly freshened up, then left the tent and got on the chariot.
The chariot looked unremarkable from the outside. Once inside, even Zhu Qizhen was surprised to see that the interior was decorated with splendor and luxury.
Inside is a soft couch, big enough for three people to stretch out on. Next to the couch is a coffee table filled with fruit snacks.
There were several pots of charcoal fire on the ground, and the red charcoal in the pots was burning brightly. It was as warm as spring in the car, even warmer than in the felt tent.
Zhu Qizhen, wearing only one undershirt, hugged the two beauties, and leaned on the couch. He couldn't help but praise Ma Liang: "This Princess Qi is really good. It's hard for her to be so careful and know how to send a chariot.
None of my stupid women thought of preparing a carriage for me.
Hey, both are the sons of my father, how come my younger brother has so much better vision than me. Is it Princess Qi who reminded Zhou of that stupid woman about the felt tent, bathtub, and beauty last night? "
Ma Liang nodded and expressed his acquiescence.
Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily and directly made a conclusion for his wife: "That fool, Queen Qian, must be played to death.
Next time a delegation comes, please remind me. I asked the envoy to send a message to Empress Qian, if it doesn’t work, don’t take it hard.
Recognize yourself as a coward, move to Cining Palace, and live with the Queen Mother. This way she could keep herself safe, otherwise she wouldn't know how she would die. "
Ma Liang quickly agreed, and Zhu Qizhen had breakfast in the car. After a while, the chariot started slowly and started a new journey.
After walking for a long time, Zhu Qizhen came to his senses and asked curiously: "Why is this car not bumpy at all?"
Ma Liang smiled and replied: "This minister knows that Princess Qi ordered someone to wrap several layers of cowhide on the wheel."
Zhu Qizhen replied: "Is this still possible? How did she come up with it?"
Ma Liang replied: "I also know that the princess mentioned that each chariot built in the Ming Dynasty had to use forty pieces of cowhide to wrap the body, so the princess thought of using cowhide to wrap the wheels. .
The princess also thoughtfully brought spare cowhide. When the cowhide on the wheel is worn out, we will replace it with the spare one. "
When Zhu Qizhen heard that it took forty cowhide to build a Ming chariot, he stopped talking with a cold face. He, the Ming emperor, was about to have a battle with the Ming generals and soldiers. This feeling was unthinkable. Feel good.
The army marched all the way, and at noon the next day, they arrived outside Yanghekou. After crossing this section of the Great Wall, they officially entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
Ye Xian was about to command the army and arrange the offensive, when his subordinates came to report: "To report to the Grand Master, Yanghe Guard Huang Ning led his men with wine and meat to meet the Supreme Emperor and reward the army.
Hearing the words first, he was both surprised and delighted: Is this the legendary basket of food in the pot to welcome the king's master?
So he welcomed him out in person first, and confirmed again in front of Huang Ning: "General, why are you here?"
Huang Ning explained: "Master, don't doubt it. The general is here to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor and offer wine and meat."
Fang Xin, who also arrived here first, took Huang Ning to the chariot in Zhu Qi Town and ordered someone to report it.
Zhu Qizhen was enjoying the beauty at this time, but he had no choice but to get up, lift the curtain of the car and look out.
Huang Ning and others quickly knelt down and kowtowed in greeting. Zhu Qizhen replied: "I am very safe, please get up. First, the Grand Master raised troops to enter the country to escort me back to Beijing to restore my position."
All you have to do is provide supplies to the army and then defend the city. When I return to my position, I will record your merits and reward you. "
Huang Ning and others were busy kowtowing to express gratitude.
After that, the guards of the cities along the way were all like Huang Ning. Without waiting for Zhu Qizhen to call the door, they took the initiative to eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's master.
Li Rang, who had previously persuaded Datong to serve as an internal agent, gave a list of garrison guards in Datong cities, but it seems that it is no longer needed now. The garrison generals in Datong's cities are too proactive and enthusiastic.
It only took two days for the Wala army to arrive outside Datong City.
First of all, we are very cautious about an important town like Datong. He sent his three younger brothers: King Datong, King Saihan, and Marshal Tie Polo, with 20,000 troops from their headquarters, as vanguards, blocking the west gate of Datong City.
In addition, Boyan Timur led his own army of 10,000 troops to protect Zhu Qi in the middle of the army.
Ye Xian took his 50,000 personal troops and camped close to Boyan Timur.
First, he and a few brothers, a total of 80,000 troops, finally arrived at Datong City.
At the same time, Alazhiyuan led 30,000 troops, broke through the monolithic entrance, and came to the gate of Xuanfu City.
Dahan Tuotuo Buhua led 20,000 people to attack in the direction of Xifengkou.
At this point, Ye Xian's 80,000 troops served as the main force of the offensive, Alazhiyuan's 30,000 troops, Tuotuo Buhua's 20,000 troops as auxiliary forces, and the three Mongolian armies, totaling 130,000 people, launched a full offensive.
The army reports from the front flew to the capital like snowflakes.
Zhu Qiyu was unhurried, neither holding court meetings to meet with ministers nor going out of the city to inspect military affairs. Just like the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, he lay in bed and played with women every day.
Zhu Qizhen plays hard with women to vent his anger and unwillingness; Zhu Qiyu plays with women purely out of boredom.
Zhu Qiyu's philosophy of governing the country is to let professional people do professional things. In the words of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it was to recruit talents and then rule from the top.
