Chapter 117 Elegy
Chapter 119 The Sorrow
It is hard to say whether those who play politics are unfair. But at this time, Xu Da had to sigh that it seems that God is really protecting the country and country of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to say much about Emperor Hongwu. With Emperor Hongwu's great achievements, it is difficult to find an emperor who is more wise than him even for thousands of years. The performance of the crown prince over the years is obvious to all, both the court and the country, inside and outside the royal family,
Everyone is obedient.
In addition to this precocious and cunning crown prince, the Ming Dynasty was really likely to be three generations of wise kings. Or it was not just three generations of wise kings, but there was even a chance to be three generations of sage kings.
p>
If this is the case, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably have a prosperous era, and the three generations of wise monarchs will be enough to lay a huge foundation.
Don't discuss what will happen in the future. Your attention now needs to be focused on the Northern Expedition.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Xu Da and said seriously, "General, if I hadn't come to fight, I think this war would end."
Xu Da said hurriedly, "Your Highness is so serious. The Tartars are hidden in the desert and are hard to find. No one knows when they will find those people."
However, Zhu Xiongying still said, "Now the cattle and sheep of the Tartars are all fat. If I delay it further, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to fall and winter."
Xu Da comforted and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. You want to go to war. I was thinking about one to two months. If I really can't find the Tartars, I should withdraw my troops."
Li Wenzhong also hurriedly added, "Your Highness, the Duke of Wei's words are not false. I have not been able to last for several times. It is most likely one to two months, otherwise I will retreat. This time I will go to Mobei, and it will definitely be before the winter begins.
Got back.”
This is not Xu Da and Li Wenzhong comfort Zhu Xiongying, because this is the truth.
Even if the Ming Dynasty is now strong, it is impossible for them to always look for enemies in the grassland. They will definitely retreat before the winter begins.
Xu Da thought about it and asked, "Your Highness, the imperial court's northern expedition, I think the Tartars also heard the news. These people were nomadic, and there was no place to live. It was the most difficult to find these people's traces. Your Highness seemed to be selling to Tartars directly.
Whereabouts?"
Zhu Xiongying was silent for a moment before saying, "The General doesn't need to think too much. I know that those people are in the north of the desert. It would be best if they can find their traces in the sea of fishing. If they can't find them, they are afraid they will.
Continue north."
Fishing Sea, which is the future Lake Baikal, also known as Beihai and Xiaohai. After all, it is the world's deepest lake and the largest freshwater lake in the Eurasian continent. Its area is still very large.
For the Chinese, what they think of is Su Wu's shepherds, who was moved by the Xiongnu Khan to the Baikal area to herd sheep.
Since Your Highness is unwilling to tell the specific source of information, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong will not force it. The main reason is that they can't come. If the crown prince doesn't say it, they will definitely have no choice.
However, Xu Da still said, "If those people were in the North Sea, the army should have passed Qingzhou immediately." Xu Da immediately spoke, "Cross the desert and cross the ridge north."
Li Wenzhong also quickly spread out the map and said to Zhu Xiongying, "You can ask the Duke of Song to lead his army to Qingzhou, advance from the Nurgandusi, drive the Tatars to Lingbei, and catch the fishing sea."
Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly. Liaodong had been taken down, and the places further north were called the Nurgandus. However, the Ming Dynasty did not have many garrisons and appointed officials in these places, but these places were also the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.
p>
The troops sent from the Nurgandus were to prevent the small Northern Yuan Dynasty from escaping. After all, those people were also nomad in Hulun Lake and the Krulun River Basin. Maybe these people have moved from Lake Baikal.
Xu Da drew the line and said, "You can ask Duke Ying to go to Qingzhou, reach Yidu, and march into Yemachuan."
Yidu is the territory of Mongolia in the future, and it is an important transportation area between north and south of the desert. The Wild Horse River is located in the lower reaches of the Krulun River. Continue north to reach the north to Kent Khan Mountain, the holy mountain of the Mongolians, which is the area of Langjuxu Mountain.
/p>
After passing the Wild Horse River, you will reach Kent Khan Mountain, which is the future Ulaanbaatar. Continue north and then you will reach Lake Baikal.
Speaking of these, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong actually held their breath, because they were defeated by Helin during the Second Northern Expedition. You should know that the battle was intended to complete the unfinished Han and Tang Dynasties.
Historical achievements, Yongqing Mongolian Desert.
Zhu Xiongying looked at the map and said to Li Wenzhong, "At that time, the cousin can divide his troops to Helin and continue north to fishing sea."
Although Li Wenzhong was willing to take revenge, he still said, "Duke Ying can come to Helin, just lead a large army north to Lingbei."
The route is actually very simple. Feng Sheng from the East Road went to Nurkandus to Hulun Lake, and went west to find the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Fu Youde from the West Road went west of the Yema River, crossed the Kent Mountain, and bypassed the north of the Lingbei.
/p>
Zhu Xiongying and others' middle army also reached Yemachuan, Kent Mountain to Lingbei, and the army went directly to Lake Baikal with an unstoppable momentum.
There is actually no need to worry about the journey. In history, Lan Yu led an army of 150,000 to spend a month searching for traces of the Northern Yuan court on the Mongolian Plateau, and then completely defeated the Northern Yuan court in one day.
There is no need to worry about the speed of the march, and even follow a relatively clear route of advance, it will be faster.
Xu Da also said at this time, "We must speed up our marching. If the Tartars know that we are approaching, they will definitely run away."
Now it is easy to attack and defensive. Now the Ming Dynasty is chasing the Mongols and fighting. The Mongols basically kept running away and dared not fight head-on with the Ming Dynasty.
Li Wenzhong said, "I think I might encounter some Tartar tribes along the way, so I'm afraid I can't be soft-hearted."
Xu Da said calmly, "This is OK. The army is heading straight to the hinterland. Duke of Song and Duke of Ying are both old generals, and they are also responsible."

It is also appropriate to be honest in order to ensure that you do not alert the enemy. You must never let the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty hear the wind break, otherwise the court will launch an expedition that mobilizes a large number of troops and will return in vain.
Although this time the crown prince is the head coach, there is naturally no need to worry about returning without success and being punished. Everyone even understands that if they return without success, the court will also promote the crown prince prince to lead an army of 300,000 to patrol the border and drive away the north.
Student.
It's just that it's a large-scale battle, using countless people, money and food, and it can't really be just a circle around Mobei.
What's more, the Tartars escaped, and who knows when they will catch those people next time? Or if the court will use a large army to fight the Northern Expedition next time, it is hard to say whether it can still reach such a scale.
So this battle to clear Mobei is also the thought of countless people, and they are all thinking of achieving success in one fell swoop!
Xu Da was full of confidence and looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, if you go straight to the sea of fishing, the army will arrive in half a month."
Zhu Xiongying's scalp suddenly became numb when he heard this. If he took the train from the capital to Lake Baikal, it would take one or two days. But he also knew that this was Xu Da's most conservative statement.
This is not an ordinary marching, no longer a journey of only twenty or thirty miles a day. Now you have to start a marching force, and now you will no longer be polite to horsepower. What you need now is the speed of your troops, and you have to start a marching force.
Zhu Xiongying nodded slowly and said, "That's it. Although I just ordered to find the traces of the Tartars, this has changed every day."
Li Wenzhong hurriedly remedy and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness's words are wrong. Your Highness has divided his troops and all the troops know the military orders. This time it is more detailed. The battlefield is like this impermanent, and all the generals and officers understand it."
Xu Da also smiled and said, "The generals are probably even more happy. Your Highness uses his troops decisively and expects the enemy to be like a god. He will win this battle!"
Although it is full of flattery, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da's words also make some sense. Everyone understands the principle that the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and it is even more so for war. Getting a letter of information can make the situation on the battlefield immediately adjust.
p>
Now the army does not need to search along the way, they just need to rush to catch fish, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others are happy. Knowing the general direction of the Tartars, it can achieve the effect of being the most important and the speed of soldiers. The encirclement has been further narrowed. This is
Good thing.
This is not a change of orders every day, this is the crown prince, the heroic general who predicts the enemy as a god!
Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to be modest, but just said to Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, "The two are their elders, and I have a sense of responsibility. I could have appointed the heads of various departments before, but how to march, arrange the formation, and respond to the enemy, it is also two.
An elder is the decision.”
Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were not easy to answer because Zhu Xiongying said the truth. But the young man had to take into account his temper. He could not admit this fact casually, otherwise the crown prince might be angry.
/p>
Zhu Xiongying smiled and continued, "I just want to win this game and destroy the remnants of the small Mongolian court in one fell swoop. We must not escape too many Mongolian princes and nobles, baggage, cattle and sheep, Tartar tribes, men and horses, and
Those who don't come back will need to be cut off!"
Zhu Xiongying's words were very calm, but Xu Da and Li Wenzhong understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would completely break up the last breath of Mongolian Yuan.
For a general like them, it is impossible to be kind and merciless. Those Mongolian tribes and soldiers cannot be surrendered or brought back to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, they will be executed and will definitely not be a hidden danger.
Many people understand this truth that one general succeeds and thousands of bones are broken. And the merits of these people are based on the blood and tears of the enemy.
Zhu Xiongying does not exist when he is kind to the enemy. If he is merciful, those people will ride horses and wave scimitars to plunder the people in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, burn, kill and loot.
So it's better to make those people have no courage to resist, let them shed tears and sing songs to go further north.
