Royal study room.
Zhu Di expressed a high degree of agreement with Yang Xuan's words.
He looked at his fat son and emphasized: "Jiaozhi has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times."
"Anyone who abandons our Chinese land for any reason is an act of treason and betrayal of our ancestors."
"You remember it for me!"
"Yes, yes, please remember this!" Zhu Gaochi said.
Zhu Di snorted lightly and said no more.
Then, Zhu Di signaled Yang Xuan to continue talking about the solution to Jiaozhi's repeated rebellion.
"We must teach them a profound lesson for Jiaozhi's behavior of repeatedly jumping sideways."
"Only by beating them up thoroughly can they be better able to accept education."
"So, the British public can be completely free to fight."
"Don't be afraid of dead people."
"This is all something that has to be experienced."
"After using a knife to disperse their spirit, the next step is to educate and consolidate the Ming Dynasty's rule in Jiaozhi."
“As the old saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.”
"Adults are hard to change, so we have to start with babies."
"Let them learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty, tell them the correct history of Jiaozhi, and let them realize that Jiaozhi is part of our Ming Dynasty."
"Our Ming Dynasty is just regaining our homeland."
"As long as these children have a sense of identification with the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, then when they grow up, let them manage Jiaozhi."
"In this way, Jiaozhi will not be easily separated from the Ming Dynasty."
"As for how to implement it, it's up to the young master and the prince."
"I'm just a general, I'm not good at it."
Finally, Yang Xuan said this.
"Boss, Young Master, what do you two think?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and Yao Guangxiao with questioning eyes.
"The poor monk accepts the decree!" Yao Guangxiao said with his hands clasped together.
"My son, I accept the decree!" Zhu Gaochi also said.
They understood Yang Xuan's intention and used this opportunity to let Zhu Gaochi perform well in front of Zhu Di.
Yao Guangxiao is extremely capable. Yang Xuan only needs to give a rough idea and he will know how to do it.
With him assisting Prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di can rest assured.
This matter will not see results in a short time. As the arrangement continues, Zhu Di just needs to keep paying attention.
But the most important thing now is the Northern Expedition.
In this northern expedition, Zhu Di decided to send 500,000 troops.
Food, grass, baggage, troops and horses have almost been mobilized.
As for the commander-in-chief of the army, Zhu Di decided to take the position himself.
After all, this is an army of half a million people.
The emperor's personal expedition was of great importance. Officials tried to dissuade him in every possible way, but they still could not change Zhu Di's decision.
Zhu Di had a tough attitude and ordered the prince to supervise the country.
The accompanying generals include Zhu Quan, Yang Xuan, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, etc.
After bidding farewell to Anqing, in early April, Yang Xuan followed Zhu Di and led the three major battalions of the capital to the north.
In May, Zhu Di arrived in Shuntian.
Half a million troops were officially assembled.
Zhu Di met with local officials and inspected the construction of Sunchon City.
After a short rest, half a million troops set out for an expedition.
…
When the news spread to the grassland, the Tatars and Walas were all panicked.
Wu Liangha was very honest. When Zhu Di arrived in Shuntian, he sent an envoy to meet him.
He said he didn't do anything bad.
In this regard, Zhu Di said: I, the Ming Dynasty, seek revenge against the Tatars this time, and it has nothing to do with you, as long as you farm and herd honestly.
The envoy Wu Liangha repeatedly said yes and wished the Ming Dynasty a victory.
The army left Juyongguan, Huailai and Xuanfu.
We arrived at Luqu River in late May.
During this period, the Wala envoy came to see him and sold it in front of Zhu Di.
Although Zhu Di said that he came to avenge the Tatars, no one could guarantee that he would kill rabbits and clean up their war.
Therefore, we have to guard against it!
After the sent envoy came back, Mahamu breathed a sigh of relief.
But it also prepared the tribes for migration.
After all, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst.
At this time, by the Luqu River.
Zhu Di looked at the endlessly flowing river and remained silent.
Along the way, he saw the burial place of tens of thousands of Ming troops.
The mood is rather heavy.
"From now on, this river will be renamed Yinma River!"
Zhu Di said.
He wanted to make this river a drinking place for horses in the Ming Dynasty.
…
And at the same time.
In the Tatar camp.
There were constant quarrels.
"Great Khan, retreat to the east, the east is safe!"
"No, retreat to the west. The west is safe!"
Yes, the enemy was in front of us, and the two top leaders, the Tatar Khan Benyasili and the Grand Master Arutai, were actually arguing about where to run.
In the battle with the Ming Dynasty last year, the Tatars suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely damaged.
In order to prepare supplies for the winter, we fought with Wala for more than a month without rest.
Today's Tatars are not as powerful as before.
I heard that Emperor Ming led an army of 500,000 people to come for revenge.
They didn't even have the courage to resist.
An army of 500,000 people. The three major tribes of Tatar, Oara, and Ulyanha, all the combatable soldiers gathered together, are not that many.
How to fight this?
There is no way to fight.
Therefore, before the Ming army comes, hurry up and run away.
But they couldn't agree on which direction to run.
"Great Khan, the west is the territory of Oala. We fought with them for more than a month last year. They will definitely not take us in."
"Run eastward!"
Arutai said.
"You are the one fighting Wala, not me."
"Besides, Wu Liangha in the east is a scoundrel of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a member of the Yuan Dynasty clan. They will definitely not take me in."
Benya objected and stated his reasons for not going east.
Both of them have their own reasons, and there will be no result if they continue to quarrel like this.
There was no other way, so the two finally decided to run away separately.
Benyasili took some people to the west to Wala, and Arutai took another part of the people to the east to Uliangha.
…
Ming army camp.
At this time, the Ming army had crossed the Yinma River.
And discovered a small Tatar force in front.
Zhu Quan asked for orders to attack.
Led thousands of cavalry to annihilate the enemy.
If Zhu Di hadn't ordered the prisoners to be kept, Zhu Quan might not have been able to bring back even a single prisoner.
Last year's battle made Zhu Quan hold his breath in his heart.
He wants to vent.
After interrogating the prisoners, Zhu Di learned that the Tatar Khan Benya was just ahead.
He analyzed it carefully and determined that the information was true.
So he decided to lead the cavalry himself to pursue him.
He asked Yang Xuan to lead the army to stay where he was, waiting for his good news.
Before departure, Yang Xuan told Zhu Gaoxu to take good care of Zhu Di.
After all, Zhu Di is very old now.
Zhu Gaoxu patted his chest and promised to take good care of his father.
In this way, Zhu Di took Zhu Quan, Zhu Gaoxu and three thousand battalions of cavalry and set off with twenty days' rations.
