"Wang Qi?" The old man's eyes froze, staring into the distance, and his voice trembled, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would be able to see the scene of the clan going on an expedition in my lifetime. It seemed a bit crude. But the royal family finally came out.
Is he a responsible and courageous person? When the building is about to collapse, is God blessing the Ming Dynasty, and the country will continue to prosper; or is it just a flash in the pan, a flash in the pan..."
The flags were fluttering and the army was marching slowly. Seeing this power, the young man couldn't help but feel shocked. After a long pause, he helped his excited father walk down the tower.

"The grassroots man Zheng Yanbei (Zheng Zhaoda) respectfully welcomes His Highness a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Zhu Yongxing looked at the group of people prostrating themselves on the ground at the gate, and his thoughts were swirling. Is this the help in Yunnan Province that the great witch said? He didn't know where he came from, and what his abilities were.
"Everyone, please get up." Although he was not sure in his heart, Zhu Yongxing still jumped off the horse and reached out to help each other. This was definitely not the time to show off and show off. The more strength you have, the more likely you are to win. His team is still too small.
These are all Han Chinese and suit my own needs.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zheng Yanbei kowtowed with his men before standing up, his face full of respect and humility, "The garrison office has been cleaned up. Please don't mind it, Your Highness, and please take a rest for the time being."
"When the war is in danger, it is not the time to be extravagant." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand indifferently, and under the guidance of Zheng Yanbei and others, he walked straight to the garrison office.
The Garrison Office has long been dilapidated and dilapidated. After Zheng Yanbei sent people to clean and decorate it, although it is difficult to look new, it is still clean and tidy, which is better than the simple houses in Myanmar Pass.
Zhu Yongxing, Zheng Yanbei and others sat down in the hall, and the two maids served tea and fruits. When Mengzhu saw the Ming women's clothes, she immediately looked away and seemed to like them very much.
"I wonder what the situation in Yunnan Province is now?" Zhu Yongxing glanced at the two maids with bright eyes and teeth, and then asked about important matters. Speaking of which, he was only delayed in Myanmar for more than ten days, but he was anxious and afraid of trouble.
If things don't go smoothly, the plan you've been mulling over will end up being a waste of effort.
"After King Li Jin was defeated at Mopan Mountain, the Qing army took advantage of the victory and marched forward, occupied Tengyue, and pursued west to Nandian (today's Lianghe) and to Mengcun. Due to lack of food and grass, they stopped their pursuit and returned to Kunming..."
There is not much difference from history. Zhu Yongxing listened to Zheng Yanbei's narration and compared it with the information in his memory, and gained a fuller and clearer understanding of the current situation.
It is not accurate to say that Li Dingguo was defeated at Mopanshan. Judging from the comparison of the forces of both sides, it should be a tragic victory. Although Li Dingguo's troops suffered heavy casualties, the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties, including two princes who were killed.
The eighteen capital commanders (including Zhao Butai's nephew Dopolo and Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zerun) were the most senior generals killed since the Qing army fought against the Southern Ming Dynasty.
If there were no traitors, this would probably be the turning point for the Nanming army's comeback. Zhu Yongxing sighed to himself, for a famous general, luck is also very important!
As Zheng Yanbei narrated, he secretly observed Zhu Yongxing's expression. The current situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable. The important cities and towns within Sanjiang in Yunnan were basically occupied by the Qing army. Although the remaining Ming troops were still numerous, they all retreated to the desolate borders.
They lost contact with each other. Facing the crisis, Zhu Yongxing's expression was quite calm, as if he had foreseen it. Mount Tai collapsed and remained unchanged, which was extraordinary. Zheng Yanbei's evaluation of Zhu Yongxing improved a lot.
.
In fact, Zhu Yongxing certainly knew the bad situation he was about to face, so he didn't make a fuss or change his face. However, he had doubts in his heart. According to the current information dissemination method, word of mouth and false rumors, how could Zheng Yanbei know this?
This applies to many situations and is relatively accurate and reliable.
"I wonder what Mr. Zheng's occupation is?" Since he wanted to rely on them, Zhu Yongxing naturally wanted to find out the details. As soon as Zheng Yanbei finished speaking, he asked.
"I don't dare to call you sir, the common man is just a small businessman." Zheng Yanbei bowed respectfully and replied: "My ancestors were not afraid of dangers. We wore the stars and the moon, traveled through mountains and rivers, and slept in the wind, rain, and frost, so that we could earn the small family business we have now."
Zhu Yongxing blinked and thought about the adjectives used by Zheng Yanbei. Suddenly, a few words jumped into his mind. He tentatively said: "The Ancient Tea Horse Road, caravans..."
Zheng Yanbei was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more respectful, "Your Highness is smart and can guess right away."
So that was it. Zhu Yongxing let out a long breath, relaxed his body, and leaned back.
The Ancient Tea Horse Road originated from the tea and horse trade in the ancient southwest and northwest frontiers. It flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and most prospered in the middle and late World War II. It also played an important role in the life and death of the Chinese nation during the Anti-Japanese War.
Because Kangzang is an alpine area with an altitude of more than three to four thousand meters, tsampa, milk, butter, beef and mutton are the staple foods of Tibetans. In alpine areas, you need to consume high-calorie fat, but there are no vegetables, tsampa, etc.
It is also hot and dry. Excess fat is not easy to decompose in the human body. Tea can not only decompose fat but also prevent dryness and heat. Therefore, Tibetans have created the plateau lifestyle habit of drinking butter tea during their long-term life. However, tea is not produced in Tibetan areas.
In the hinterland, both civilian service and military campaigns require a large number of mules and horses, and the supply exceeds demand. However, Tibetan areas, Sichuan, and Yunnan border areas produce excellent horses. Therefore, the complementary tea and horse trade is known as the "tea-horse mutual market."
This came into being. The mules, furs, medicinal materials produced in Tibetan areas, Sichuan and Yunnan border areas, and the tea, cloth, salt and daily utensils produced in Sichuan, Yunnan and the interior came south from the high mountains and deep valleys of the Hengduan Mountains.
Going north, it flows continuously and becomes increasingly prosperous with the development of social economy, forming an "Ancient Tea Horse Road" that continues to this day.
The "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" is a historical concept with a specific meaning. It refers to a traffic artery formed by the exchange of tea-horses between Han and Tibet from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Republic of China. Specifically, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road mainly
It is divided into two roads, the south and the north, namely the Yunnan-Tibet Road and the Sichuan-Tibet Road.
However, it should be pointed out that the above are only the main trunk lines of the Tea Horse Road, and they are also people’s long-established understanding and understanding of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. In fact, in addition to the above main lines, the Tea Horse Ancient Road also includes
With several branch lines, it is a huge transportation network. It spans Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Tibet, and extends outwards to South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and as far away as Europe.
When he was a donkey traveler, he visited the Ancient Tea Horse Road and listened to the tour guide’s explanation. Zhu Yongxing probably guessed the reason why Zheng Yanbei was so well-informed. He smiled and praised: “The secret Yunnan Tea Horse Road, Pu’er legacy tea horse fragrance
!I am very envious and admire your ancestors who were not afraid of bandits and hardships and developed their family business with courage and courage!"
