Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanchen supported the wall and came out. Alia was like a normal person. In the future, he should not marry someone who is too physically strong.
This is just like playing basketball. The physical confrontation can be more intense, but you can't play several games in a row. Who can handle this? Several high-intensity confrontations in a row can be fatal.
Alia followed Zhu Zhanzhen with a faint smile: "Your Highness, let me help you."
"No need."
If Aliya had to help him out, how could Zhu Zhanchen still lose face?
As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen left the courtyard, the young man came over with a secret letter: "Your Highness, this is a secret letter from Shuntian Mansion."
"Father's?"
"No, it's Li Xianyu."
Zhu Zhanzhen took the letter and tore it open. It was a letter written by Li Xianyu himself. The words were gentle and full of longing. She had already arrived at the ferry when she wrote the letter and should be going to Japan now.
Looking at the blue sky, I hope everything goes well.
Two days later, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhancheng went on an expedition with King Jin Han. Black Snake Girl did not accompany them. She now sticks to Zhu Zhanxun every day. As his personal bodyguard, she is really close to him every day.
In the following March, the Ming army, led by King Jin Han, had the green light to reach Kashgar, the capital of Chagatai.
During this period, the envoys of the Chagatai Khanate came forward many times to negotiate a truce with Zhu Zhanzhen, but Zhu Zhanzhen ignored them. There was no reason to stop at this point in the fight, and the morale of our army was at a high level.
At the same time, big news from the north spread back to Shuntian Mansion.
The eunuch ran to Zhu Gaochi's palace excitedly and even fell down.
"How old are you, yet you are so reckless and disrespectful in the palace?" Zhu Gaochi reprimanded.
The eunuch hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me, but there is great news from the northern front, great news."
"What news?" Zhu Gaochi stopped writing.
"Your Highness, your great grandson... he led his army to capture the Yuerhai Sea before winter, drove away the Wala army, and wiped out 20,000 enemies. Now he has announced the establishment of Hanhai Xuancheng Chief Secretary on the Korean Sea. Your Highness, this is unprecedented.
This is my first time." The eunuch said excitedly, his duck-like voice reaching its highest pitch.
The pen fell to the ground, and Zhu Gaochi smiled lightly with joy: "It's an unparalleled achievement, an unparalleled achievement."
"In ancient times, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf in Xu and drank from the Ma Hanhai. Today, His Highness Taisun drives away the barbarians and brings the vast sea back to the Ming Dynasty. Taisun is mighty, His Highness the Crown Prince is mighty, and His Majesty is mighty."
Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if we win the battle. The whole country will go to the Northern Expedition, which will waste people and money. I order my grandson to rest and recuperate on the spot. Further north is the land where the ice will never melt. There is no need to fight again. We will conquer the vast sea and the Northeast."
The frontline battlefield is over."
Compared with the unparalleled victory in the Hanhai, Zhu Gaochi was obviously more happy that he had won more than half of the battle. If this momentum continued, the battle should be over soon.
It would be best if it could be finished before winter comes.
"Send the news to Your Majesty and Zhan Zhen. Your Majesty's Wala branch has already expressed the intention to surrender and has sent an envoy for peace talks. I don't know what your Majesty means."
"Your Highness, this battle should be over soon."
"yes."
It has been a year since preparations began before winter last year until winter is about to begin. This battle has been fought with real money and silver. The factories are producing around the clock, soldiers are constantly moving, and they have to manage all aspects of the country.
Fortunately, God helped me in the Ming Dynasty. There were almost no natural disasters in the country this year, and the floods were only small, so Zhu Di could go on the Northern Expedition with peace of mind.
This is the destiny of the country. If the destiny of the country is not good and there are natural disasters in the country at this time, we cannot ignore the life and death of the people, we must go all out to provide disaster relief, and some of the resources and strength of the imperial court will have to be transferred out. Then the Northern Expedition cannot be so smooth.
"I sent an order to the king of the northwest Han Dynasty, the king of Zhujiang County, and the king of Lanzhou County to capture Kashgar and connect with the Timur Khanate before the end of the year."
The good news and the order were sent to Zhu Zhanyi. When Zhu Zhanji saw the news about Zhu Zhanji drinking Ma Hanhai, he felt happy. This Ming Dynasty must be the first in history.
Just wait until our side captures Chagatai and Emperor Yongle defeats Wala, and this unprecedented battle will be over.
Moreover, peace talks have begun in Oara. Oara is ready to surrender. It is still unclear whether Zhu Di agrees. Even if he agrees, this surrender is different from the previous one. Since he has beaten Zhu Di, he will not give them such great rights just because of the surrender.
, but to restrain them.
Zhu Zhanzhen was worried about the problem of Wala. After all, in history, Wala defeated the later Mingbao Zong Zhu Qizhen in Tumubao. This was also the main reason for the decline of the Ming Dynasty in the middle period.
Zhu Zhanzhen could not let this period of history happen again, but according to the current situation, with such a strong national power and such advanced equipment, even if Ming Dynasty fought again, how could it lose? How could it lose?
And now I am not on the front line, it is Zhu Di's front. Zhu Di has never let others tell him what to do. It would be bad if he talks too much. He just sent a letter to Zhu Di, telling Zhu Di that the people in the grassland will never really surrender.
In addition to the letter from Shuntian Prefecture, Zhu Zhanzhen received another letter from the Timur Empire two days later. This was sent by a spy who risked his life.
Since Zhu Zhanzhen ignored the peace request of the Chagatai Khanate's envoys, the Chagatai Khanate intensified its fierce attack on the Timurid Empire. This was to expand its territory. He expected that the Ming Dynasty's front would not be able to fight
Go to the Timurid Empire, the Ming Dynasty's front line is too long.
The center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty moved from the Central Plains headquarters a few years ago to the coast. The Ming Dynasty expanded its territory too far, which was not conducive to defense. Unable to resist the Ming Dynasty, the Chagatai Khanate decided to move westward.
Therefore, the Timur Empire prepared to use its entire army to fight the Chagatai Khanate to the death.
"Report."
There was another military report, and Zhu Zhanzhen took it. It was from Zhu Gaoxu.
After reading it, Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly: "Xiaosheng, go pick up Zara."
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"The second uncle's letter said that King Jin Han has rebelled against Waisi Khan's nephew and intends to assassinate him. It will take a certain amount of time for the frontline troops to report back. If the plan is successful, it should not be long before good news comes back."
After the death of Waisi Khan, the Chagatai Khanate fell apart, and the Western Expedition was considered a victory.
"Then, Your Highness, why are you going to pick up the concubine?"
"If the Chagatai Khanate is captured, there is no guarantee that the king of the Timur Empire will come over. I will meet my father-in-law. Zara may not have seen his father for many years."
"Your Highness is really considerate." Xiaosheng said with emotion.
Five days later, another military report came.
King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty led his army to defeat the city of Kashgar. Waisi Khan died, and the Chagatai Khanate was destroyed. The Ming Dynasty garrisoned in Kashgar, reorganized the Anxi Protectorate, divided Anxi and Xuan as Chief Secretary, appointed Lu Mu as Chief Secretary, reopened the Silk Road, and connected
East Asia.
Two months later, Emperor Yongle summoned the Oara tribe to surrender, and divided the east and west Oara tribes into the chief envoys.
Newspapers were sold out on the streets of Shuntian Prefecture, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded thousands of miles, unprecedented, and Yongle prospered.
