Author: There are dragons in Nanshan

The court meeting continued, and the Ministry of War submitted a memorial.

After seeing it, the smile on Zhu Qizhen gradually disappeared.

This memorial was sent by Yu Qian from Chengdu Prefecture. It mainly said that King Ning was ordered to go to the vassal of Uszang, which was full of difficulties.

Although the two sides cooperated through the railway project and achieved their own takeovers, when King Ning asked to lead troops in, the conflict broke out.

King Ning did not retreat this time. Since he could not resolve the issue peacefully, he had to fight.

However, when fighting in Uszang, the Ming army did not have the advantage.

Although the combat power of the Ming army was absolutely crushing, the terrain of Us Tibet was too special.

No matter which direction you attack, the biggest problem is not the quality of the army, nor the weapons and equipment, or logistics supply, but the oxygen-deficient environment at high altitudes.

The air on the plateau is thin, unless the native Us Tibetans, if they were someone else, they would have to breathe for a long time after walking a few steps, let alone fighting.

King Sang of the Chanhua relied on the terrain to organize one line of defense after another, pulling the front line to a very long depth to block the Ming army's offensive.

King Ning commanded the army to fight several waves. Once the two sides fought, the Ming army would certainly win one after another, but it would be difficult to continue to go deeper.

On the one hand, there are difficulties in plateau combat, and on the other hand, logistics supply cannot keep up.

So, when the Ming army attacked, Uszang retreated. When the Ming army left, they ran out again.

If the Ming army stayed on the plateau for a long time, Uszang would look for an opportunity to attack, and he would do it in the middle of the night, making it difficult to defend.

If this continues, King Ning will have a headache, but he will have nothing to do.

Yu Qian had no good idea about this situation, so he had to invite a memorial, hoping that the court would send more troops to capture Uszang in one fell swoop.

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "The little Uszang has lost so much money and food and can't catch it. It's so outrageous!"

When the ministers saw the emperor getting angry, they all calmed down.

Cao Nai looked around, all lowered their heads, and stood up and said, "I think... Since Uszang resisted stubbornly, in order to show his power, he should send more troops, mobilize money and grain, and raise troops to fight him!"

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while and said, "Your family is right. We should raise troops to attack him. The cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue will bring out the regulations!"

Cao Nai bowed and said, "Yes!"

After the morning court, all the officials returned to the yamen to work.

Zhu Qizhen had something to do in his heart and returned to Qianqing Palace with a dark face.

The Ming Dynasty is no longer the same as before. It is only a matter of time to destroy Uszang. However, King Ning is a waste, who is more skilled than anyone else when making money, so why are you afraid when you fight?

He even wanted to withdraw the vassal state of Ning Wang and send him overseas.

For Uszang...

"Emperor, Emperor!"

Huaien ran in panic and forgot to knock on the door.

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Why are you so panicked?"

"In heaven, in heaven..."

Huai'en's face was pale, pointing outside, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

"What's wrong in the sky?"

"There are people in heaven!"

"What did you say?"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help looking out, but saw nothing.

Huai'en swallowed, and plucked up the courage to say, "Yes, there is someone..."

Zhu Qizhen put on his clothes, came outside the hall, and asked, "Where is it?"

“At, at…”

Huai'en stumbled and followed, pointing upwards, but there was only one cloud.

"I just saw someone..."

While explaining, Huai'en looked for it confidently. Suddenly, his eyes opened and his whole body was stunned.

Zhu Qizhen followed his gaze and there was indeed someone!

To be precise, that's not a person, it's a... balloon?

"My grass!"

Shocked, a national treasure couldn't help blurting out.

The balloon drifted in the sky with the wind, flying towards the east.

It can be seen that there seems to be someone on it!

What's this thing?

Could it be a new invention created by the Academy of Sciences?

But, I haven't heard Belin mention it...

"Quick, chase!"

Zhu Qizhen was anxious, so he couldn't let him run away!

Huaien followed him and then slapped his forehead and said, "I will prepare the horse!"

The palace gate opened, and Zhu Qizhen ran out on a horse, staring at the balloons in the sky, chasing them all the way.

Huai'en was not good at riding horses, and before he left the palace, he could not keep up, so he had to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, wait for me!"

However, Zhu Qizhen was anxious and ran away in a flash.

In a hurry, Huai'en turned his horse's head and came to Beizhen Prefecture.

"Commander Yuan... hurry up, hurry up!"

Yuan Bin hurried over and asked, "Old Man Huai, what's wrong?"

"The emperor will chase the people in the sky, and go and protect... the guard!"

"What?"

Yuan Bin looked puzzled and thought to himself, where did the people come from in the sky?

"Look at that side!"

Huai'en stretched out his hand and Yuan Bin realized that there was really something in the sky.

"You just said... Where is the Emperor?"

"The emperor rode a horse and chased him. Our family... our family is not good at riding skills and didn't catch up. Hurry up... Go and protect the car!"

When Yuan Bin heard this, he became nervous and personally led several elite lieutenants to chase after him.

The sound of horse hooves sounded on the street, and the people were hiding one after another. People from the Five City Military Command were patrolling. Seeing someone riding a horse and trying to intercept him, they heard the horse shouting: "The Jinyiwei is doing business, the idle people are waiting, avoid it quickly!

”

Now, the people from the Wucheng Military Police not only retreated aside, but also helped to move in when they saw someone's stall close to the main road.

Yuan Bin stared at the balloons in the sky and rode his horse to Chaoyang Gate.

"I am the commander of the Jinyiwei. Who are the managers here?"

Immediately a general came forward and saluted, "The last general Bai Laoqi, I have seen the commander!"

Yuan Bin held back his horse's head and asked, "Has anyone ridden out of the city just now?"

"Sir, there is indeed a fast horse, if you don't see clearly..."

"drive!"

Yuan Bin didn't listen to him at all, and threw the reins and left.

Bai Laoqi waved his hand and slapped the dust in front of him, saying dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong today, one by one..."

"Boss, look..."

A lieutenant at the city gate suddenly found something in the sky and looked very shocked.

Bai Laoqi was also stunned and murmured: "It's weird, it's weird, what's wrong today..."

Yuan Bin ran wildly out of the city for several miles, and finally caught up with Zhu Qizhen.

"Emperor, Emperor!"

When Zhu Qizhen turned around, he saw that it was Yuan Bin, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Bin caught up and said, "I'm here to protect you!"

"Chasing!"

Zhu Qizhen pulled the reins, and the horse off his seat neighed, and continued to run forward.
