Daming: From the end of Hongwu

But her smile took root in his heart.

Gu Liang looked at the Jianghu people in a daze at this moment, and frowned. Just about to speak, the Jianghu people said bitterly: "If... if it is possible, please tell Miss Su that there is a... idiot who tried to save her."

After the people in the Jianghu finished speaking, they felt as if they would never see Su Banluo again in this life, and they felt as if they were being stirred up by a knife. For a moment, the words of longing for Su Banluo that they wanted to tell Su Banluo in countless days emerged densely in their hearts.

But he opened his mouth, but in the end he just said one sentence: "Just this one... just one sentence." After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

The wind and rain got a little stronger.

Gu Liang suddenly laughed: "You also think Banluo looks good?"

The Jianghu people were taken aback for a moment, puzzled.

Gu Liang put the knife back into its sheath: "The wind and rain came at the wrong time, give it face, I don't want to kill people today." After speaking, Gu Liang laughed and walked back.

The wind and rain seemed to obliterate Gu Liang's back, but it couldn't cover up his free and easy laugh.

The Jianghu people suddenly shouted: "Even if you spare your life, one day, I will still take your life."

Gu Liang's voice came from the wind and rain.

"You can come here, I am always waiting."

The Jianghu people gritted their teeth and shouted again: "But I will repay you for saving your life today."

Gu Liang's figure paused for a moment, and then accompanied by his steps, the voice sounded again: "No, I will give Fengyu face, and you will give it back to Fengyu in the future!"

As he spoke, Gu Liang laughed again.

The people in Sanyue in the teahouse watched this scene, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in their hearts.

Maybe only such a free and easy man can be matched with such a carefree woman in this world.

All extraordinary.

Made in heaven.

When Gu Liang returned to the teahouse, suddenly one of his guards came over. While wiping the rain off his body, he listened to the guards whispering in his ear.

When the guard finished speaking, Gu Liang looked at Zhu Zhanji and the others and said, "What a coincidence, I planned to spend two more days with the grandson and the young father-in-law, but my father suddenly sent an urgent errand."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go to Xinghe tomorrow, and the guardian will meet Alutai!"

……

Chapter 409 - Zhu Di personally conquered Tatar

The feeling of autumn always seems to come with the footsteps of autumn rain. Before we know it, we suddenly realize that a layer of golden leaves has already fallen on the roots of the trees on the roadside.

It has been a month since Gu Liang went to Xinghe, but even after a month, when Zhu Zhanji talked with Sanyue, sometimes he couldn't help but mention Gu Liang again.

They feel that Daming is a good man, so he should be like this.

The two may have been influenced by Gu Liang, or they may have seen the vast grassland, their hearts gradually opened up during this time, and their temperament became a little looser.

Zhu Yuying and the concubine were also happy to see the changes in the two of them, so they let them run around under Xue Xun's leadership.

Military camps, the Great Wall, Xiongguan...their footprints are everywhere in Beiping.

These places wash their hearts and help them become real men.

……

However, just as their return date was approaching, a piece of shocking news instantly shook the entire city of Beiping.

The Tatars suddenly attacked and killed the Daming mission in Xinghe. Except for seven or eight remnants who escaped, all the rest were martyred. Gu Liang, who was responsible for protecting the mission, was caught in the army of the Tatars and fought endlessly. , until exhausted.

After Zhu Zhanji and Sanyue heard the news, they felt as if they had been hit by a giant hammer.

That open-minded man whom they liked and admired so much died just like that? !

That young general who had made his mark in the army and was praised by everyone was killed by the Tatars? !

For the first time, the two of them, who had been cared for by countless people since they were young and grew up with rich clothes and fine clothes, uttered a roar from the bottom of their hearts at the same time: "Tartar!"

At this moment, war, family and country, and hatred seem to be no longer the frivolous words seen in the book.

Some things that are measured by interests in the eyes of politicians suddenly have real flesh and blood and took root in their hearts.

And at this moment, outside the city, in the North Camp.

Nearly 50 years old, Gu Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed out of the big tent with a whip in his hand, yelling: "Reform the army for me, I'm going to kill those bastards!"

He was originally from Mongolia, and he was very good at riding and fighting. Even Zhen Wu's riding and archery skills benefited from him, so after Jing Nan, he has been in charge of the cavalry.

After he shouted that sentence.

For a moment, the whole camp resounded with the sound of horses neighing and people screaming.

soon.

An extremely efficient and combat-friendly cavalry, each with three days' rations, is ready to go. Gu Ming's lieutenant wanted to persuade him, but seeing Gu Ming like this, he couldn't say anything to persuade him.

We have traveled countless times together, how can we see the sad appearance of the old man who lost his beloved son.

The big deal is that I won't be an official in the future!

But just as they were about to leave, Xue Lu hurried over after getting the news.

Seeing the situation in the barracks, Xue Lu jumped off the horse and quickly came to Gu Ming's side, stopped him and said, "Old Gu, what do you want to do, don't be impulsive!"

"What?"

Gu Ming roared sadly: "What do you think I want to do? They killed Liang'er, what else can I do?"

"You are crazy, let's not say that you are violating military discipline. Can you avenge Brother Liang? Do you want all these people to die on the grassland with you?" Xue Lu also said angrily.

Gu Ming didn't listen.

Xue Lu roared again: "They are soldiers who follow you in every battle, are you willing to let them die in vain?!"

These words seemed to infuse a trace of clarity into his lost sanity. Gu Ming turned around and looked at the soldiers who had fought with him for many years. Seeing the familiar faces, he suddenly burst into tears of grief and indignation.

Seeing Gu Ming's appearance, Xue Lu's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "I understand your feelings, we have been in the same ladle for more than ten years, brother Liang is also the one I have watched since I was a child. I grew up, and he had an accident, and I was also sad, but we can't be impulsive, impulsiveness can't solve those bastards."

Gu Ming wailed and said, "But that's Liang'er. He was so obedient and obedient since he was a child. He studied and practiced martial arts. He never disliked the heat of summer and the cold of winter. Why... why..."

"I know I know."

As Xue Lu said, he turned his head to press back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes, and said, "I have already reported to His Majesty immediately, don't worry, Your Majesty and the Duke will definitely seek justice for Brother Liang. The Tatars will have to pay the price, for sure."

……

In Gu Ming's mansion in the city, the Crown Princess and Zhu Yuying also came to visit immediately. Gu Ming's daughter-in-law and Zhu Yuying were familiar with each other. After meeting the Crown Princess, she dragged Zhu Yuying and began to cry.

Zhu Yuying cried several times when she heard this.

She also has a son, and she couldn't imagine that if something happened to Sanyue one day, she would not be able to hold on all of a sudden.

What's more, for Gu Liang, she had heard Zhen Wu praise him several times.

No one can accept that a good child who has been brought up to be so good suddenly becomes like this.

Wiping her tears, Gu Ming's wife pointed to her daughter-in-law beside her and said, "Poor my Liang'er, his wife just found out that she is pregnant, and he just left without knowing the news. what."

Zhu Yuying looked at Su Banluo, she held back her sadness and said, "Brother Liang is gone, you are now pregnant with Brother Liang's only flesh and blood, remember to be more careful on weekdays, don't let Brother Liang's flesh and blood get out again." Accident."

Su Banluo's eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuying and the princess were relieved again.

After an hour, Zhu Yuying and the Crown Princess took leave after seeing that Gu Ming's daughter-in-law had calmed down a bit.

When they left, the Crown Princess did not ask Gu Ming's wife to get up to see off the guests, and Su Banluo accompanied Zhu Yuying and the two of them out.

But when Su Banluo sent Zhu Yuying and the others away, it was just when Su Banluo returned.

Not far from the gate, a Jiang Hu person who had been waiting for an unknown time shouted at her: "You... If you want to escape, I will give my life to help you."

Su Banluo was taken aback for a moment, she touched her belly tenderly, then her face turned cold and she walked over: "I heard from my poor husband that some time ago someone from Jiang Hu challenged him, was it you?"

The Jianghu people nodded.

A stern light flashed in Su Banluo's eyes and said: "If it wasn't for the fact that I am pregnant right now and I don't want to let the child in my womb be contaminated with hostility, I, Su Banluo, would definitely kill you."

People in the Jianghu froze, they probably didn't expect that the smiling woman in their memory would have such a fierce side, or they didn't expect to talk to Su Banluo again, but what they got was words that would kill them.

His expression darkened.

Afterwards, Su Banluo turned around and left cleanly, and the voice in his mouth rang again: "My husband is a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth. He can protect the family and the country at the top, and the people and the world at the bottom. How can you compare it to others, but he is because of me. Therefore, it is really sad to have to deal with you foolish and chivalrous villains like you. If I could go back to the past, I, Su Banluo, would rather destroy this face to show the world. The love between me and my foolish husband is as deep as the sea , to protect him a trace of tranquility in his leisure time, why do you need to wait to save him?!"

The Jianghu people looked at Su Banluo's resolute figure in bewilderment, and walked into the Gaomen mansion under the address of the concierge's young mistress.

He suddenly sneered.

afternoon.

His figure appeared outside the barracks, and he knelt outside the gate of the barracks, intending to join the army.

……

The news of the Tatars attacking and killing the Ming Mission was blown to the capital like a whirlwind.

Zhu Di was furious. Now that the sea in Daming is calm, there is no worry of enemies from the sea. Annan in the south has been incorporated into the country, and more and more tribes in the Northeast Nuergandusi have sincerely joined.

It can be said that from east to west, from Sakhalin Island to Tibet, it is about 750 miles long; from north to south, from Mongolia grassland to Jiaozhi, it is about 940 miles long. Such a long border line, Except for the Mongolian grassland in the north, there is no other force that dares to offend Ming Dynasty.

What is prestige, the four kingdoms surrender!

Before Zhu Dishang went to trouble Tatar, Tatar came to provoke him first.

it is good!

Then he doesn't have to be polite anymore.

Immediately, Zhu Di summoned Zhen Wu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Zhu Gaoxu and other generals. After he told everyone the news, he only asked a cold question.

"What do you think?"

Several people looked at each other.

Zhen Wu took a step forward, and with an extremely resolute voice, he spit out a word cleanly: "Zhan!"

In fact, there is no need to think about this point. After Zheng He Xiyang came back, he brought back a large number of treasures. These treasures can be exchanged for a large amount of food and grass from the countless wealthy gentry families in the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to deal with a huge war without harming the country. slightest.

Moreover, although Zhu Di did not send troops to the Northern Expedition in these years, what he has done in these years is all preparations for the Northern Expedition. Let alone the pacification of Annan and Zheng He's voyages to the West. The Hamiwei has now achieved results, completely forming a restraint on the entire northern grassland from the east and west wings.

Needless to say, Nuergandusi in the northeast was pioneered by Zhen Wu, from Sakhalin Island in the east to the Onan River in the west, from Waixing'an Mountains in the north to the Tumen River in the south, It also borders the Liaodong capital, and countless tribes have attached themselves to set up guards, and now there are four hundred.

The Western Regions and other places have been appeasing and soliciting since Zhu Yuanzhang’s time. They established suzerain-vassal relations with Hami, Bili Bashou, Turpan, Liucheng and other regimes. It is more intimate, especially Hami, which is located in the main road of the Western Regions. First, its leader was named King Zhongshun, and then the Hami Guard was established. , Qu Xianwei and other military institutions, and stationed Han people.

Like a rooster spreading its wings.

The powerful Han and Tang Dynasties in history have already told Ming Dynasty that the best way to target and restrict the northern nomads is to implement a strategic encirclement from the northeast and northwest.

Now that the strategy has been realized, the grassland is like a dish in Daming's arms at this moment, and Zhu Di only needs to think about how to eat it.

Just eat the prairie.

Zhu Di will be able to achieve Han Wu, Tang Zong's achievements, if coupled with Zhu Di's strategy of managing the southwest and going south to the West, the Ming Dynasty will definitely go far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties.

……

The next day Zhu Di was in the court hall, and he announced with a decisive gesture that he would personally lead the army to march north. This time, an army of 50 was expected to be dispatched, involving most of the guards in the north.

After the court meeting was over, the civil and military affairs of the whole court became busy.

Grain, weapons, heavy artillery, firecrackers and other strategic materials began to be transported to Peiping.

And Zhu Di, the general who went on an expedition this time, seemed to have already had a stomachache.

The chief general of the Chinese army is Zhao Guogong Zhenwu, and the deputy general An Yuanbo Liu Sheng.

The leader of the left whistle is Qiu Song, the Duke of Qi State, and Li Yuan, the Marquis of Anping, is the deputy.

The right sentry chief general Yangwuhou Xue Lu, deputy general Xinghe Bo Guming.

Zhu Neng, Duke of Cheng, Zhu Neng, the chief general of Zuoye, and Wang You, Hou Wangyou of Qingyuan, were his deputy.

The right tuck leader will be Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, and Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, will be his deputy.

Looking at the list, Zhu Di suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart. This time he selected all the mainstays in the army, and all of them were good fighters in their 40s and [-]s.

He has absolute confidence at this moment, and this battle will completely paralyze all the forces on the grassland.
