Chapter 229 Millions of heroes cross the Great Wall
"The Ming Dynasty has gone too far to bully others. It wants to launch a war against us just by looking for any excuse."
Zhu Fanyan smiled politely: "If you, the Chagatai Khanate, can give half of your land to the Timur Empire to make amends, we can withdraw our troops."
The envoys of the Chagatai Khanate argued angrily with Zhu Fanyan, telling many historical allusions to the Ming Dynasty and knowing the culture of the Ming Dynasty very well. However, Zhu Fanyan always smiled politely, and the envoys talked with them.
It seems like it's just a formality.
After a lot of talking, the envoy of the Chagatai Khanate finally understood Zhu Fanyan, and angrily said: "We, the Chagatai Khanate, are not soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others."
The breakdown of negotiations means that there is no room for negotiation between the two countries.
Seven days later, Zhu Gaoxu went to meet with the leaders of the Seven Guards of Guanxi. The leaders of the Seven Guards came to the Fifth Guard. Those who did not arrive were the Hami Guard and the Atuan Guard, both of which were relatively far away from the Ming Dynasty and the Chagatai Khanate.
Approaching.
Zhu Gaoxu asked the remaining leaders of the five guards: "Do you know why the king came to you?"
"The Ming Dynasty is going to war with the Chagatai Khanate."
"Yes, so I want to ask your opinions. After all, the Seven Guards of Kansai are also part of our Ming Dynasty. We need your support for this war."
"Hey, Prince Han, our northwest border area has suffered from natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, and the population is sparse. I'm afraid we can't be of much help."
"Yes, please forgive me, Lord Han."
A group of people echoed, saying that they wanted to stand by and watch. They didn't want to be taken advantage of by Ming to charge into the battle, but those who were willing to come today were considered sensible and did not want to quarrel with Ming. They mainly stayed neutral and waited.
Zhu Gaoxu did not force him, but asked: "Why didn't the two leaders of Hami Guard and Aduan Guard come over?"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that they were not clear. Since Zhu Gaoxu was not here, they just assumed that they had rebelled. At this time, Yu Qian came to his side. Now Yu Qian is Zhu Zhanzhen's messenger at Jiayuguan. Yu Qian still doesn't understand why.
Zhu Zhanzhen would inexplicably reuse him. The two of them had always been masked before.
Zhu Zhanzhen received his unconditional trust and respect. Did he meet a noble person?
"Prince Han, Prince Zhujiang previously wanted to attack anyone who didn't come."
"Same opinion as mine, I plan to set off early tomorrow morning."
The fight was just a quick one. Since the Hamiwei and Atuanwei people didn't come over and didn't listen to Daming's words, should they be kept for the New Year?
To pacify the northwest, it was not only the Chagatai Khanate that was pacified, but also the Seven Guards of Guanxi.
Yu Qian was about to prepare, but Prince Han stopped him again: "Wait a minute, we will set off today, order two thousand cavalry, two thousand Shenji battalion, bring hot air balloons, set off now, and attack Hami Guard as soon as possible.
"
Prince Han changed his mind temporarily and stood up directly to tell the news to the other leaders of the Five Guards. They all looked at each other in shock.
Are you ready to start a war?
Several people wanted to persuade them, but the King of Han directly said: "Hamiwei and Atuanwei disrespect the Ming Dynasty and do not obey the edict, which is disobedience. The Ming Dynasty never punishes those who disobey lightly. Since they disobey, there is only one
war."
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to establish his authority with this battle, and then said to his men: "All the leaders are tired from the long journey, so why not go and rest first, so that you can all be at your service."
"Yes." The guards shouted in unison. This was to prevent them from leaking information and engaging in a quick battle. They just couldn't let the other side get the news first and make a surprise attack.
They were talking just one moment, and the next moment they went out, mounted their horses, and ordered their troops to go into battle.
The other leaders of the Seven Guards of Kansai were stunned at this efficiency. The Prince of Han led the troops with Zhu Di's style, and his subordinates were extremely obedient to him, attacking wherever he directed with high efficiency.
Two thousand cavalry and two thousand divine machine battalions set out immediately.
The other leaders of the Seven Guards of Kansai cannot go out, but there are no restrictions on their movement within the city where they stay, but there will be people watching.
At the same time, Zhu Zhanzhen was building a power plant in Suzhou. Power plants were needed for basic lighting and basic communications. There are already many places with electricity in Guangzhou and Xiangjiang Port.
The foundation here in Suzhou is weak, which means everything has to be done all over again. Even with materials sent from the mainland, the efficiency is still not high, much lower than Zhu Zhanchen expected.
…
In Shuntian Prefecture, as the weather gradually warmed up, Zhu Di rode a tall horse, and it was finally time to lead the troops to the expedition.
Zhu Di stood refreshed and refreshed at the top of the city of Shuntian Prefecture. Normally, there would still be a grand military parade, but it was a pity that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanchang were no longer there, so it was a little less fun.
The finale of this military parade was Zhu Zhanji's three Vulcan armored vehicles. When this steel behemoth appeared on the street, all the people were stunned and frightened. It seemed that the appearance of such a thing in this era was too inconsistent.
Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied with the people's response, and imagined that his Vulcan armored vehicle could show its power on the battlefield and kill everyone.
This time Zhu Di went for the Eternal Emperor, and Zhu Zhanji went for the immortal merits.
Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi: "Gaochi, if this battle is decided, I will rest and recuperate and never fight again. These thousands of miles of mountains and rivers can be regarded as leaving a prosperous and prosperous age for future generations."
"May my father be victorious in this campaign, and my sons and ministers should do their best to supervise the country for their father."
"Hahaha, Gao Chi, how many soldiers and horses from all over the country have been gathered this time?"
"All parts of the south are moving their troops to the north, with a small number going to the northwest. At this time, including the troops along the Great Wall, the total number of troops is 1.35 million."
The total military strength of the Ming Dynasty was 2.6 million, including all military households. Now there are nearly 300,000 in the northwest and 1.35 million along the Great Wall. This is the largest Northern Expedition since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
.
Millions of troops crossed the Great Wall.
This battle is related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. If the world is united in one battle, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to survive if it is defeated in the first battle.
"I will personally take charge of the middle road. Zhanji will go to the eastern front and head north, with the goal of fishing the fisher sea. Lan Yu hit the fisher sea back then. Zhanji, are you confident that he can defeat it like him?"
"My grandson will definitely complete the mission."
"Any ethnic group along the road that offends our mighty Ming Dynasty, you can destroy them at will, exterminate their species, and plow their gardens. This time we go on an expedition, our mighty Ming Dynasty cannot be violated, and the mighty Ming Dynasty cannot be damaged. Do you understand?"
"Grandson, I understand!" Zhu Di's meaning was very clear. Whether it was the Mobei tribe that did not surrender or those that surrendered, or Jianzhou Jurchen, Duoyan Sanwei, etc., he would be the one to make the decision and fight anyone who was disrespectful.
This time we want to fight until these ethnic groups outside the Great Wall are afraid. They are afraid that decades later, when talking about the Ming Dynasty, they will still not be able to bring up the desire to fight.
Zhu Di, the emperor of the ages, is not so easy to be. He had to use conquests and the cries of aliens to build the throne.
