General Zhengbei, Zhu Ruodeng, King of Hebei, deputy general Zhengbei, and Pucheng Hou Mabao led Yuan'anbo generals Chen Youlong, Li Benshen, Hu Maozhen, Yan Xiaoyong, Liu Guoxuan, Gan Hui, and 10,000 carefully selected elite troops to the capital of Outer Mongolia.
March to Kulun. In Kulun, he will join the 10,000 inner and outer Mongolian troops under the command of the Mongolian governor Chen Bangyan, and then lead an army of 20,000 to enter the Lake Baikal area from the south; in addition, in Nerchinsk, another deputy for the northern campaign will
General Nanling Hou Sun Guangwei's 10,000 troops are also preparing to launch an offensive from the east of Lake Baikal.
In order to fight this war against the captives, Emperor Guangwu of Nanjing issued a total of three million taels of Zhaoxin votes, and it is said that he will continue to issue another three million taels in the future.
The old emperor spoke: This is a war to sweep away the captives. We must sweep away the Rakshasa ghosts out of Siberia like dust. The Ming Dynasty and Oros should use the Ural Mountains as their boundary. The Rakshasa Kingdom should not be and has never been.
Eastern countries.
Zhu Ruodeng was galloping on his horse. The feeling of riding during the riding and shooting class was completely different from that of riding in battle. Due to the poor logistics in northern Xinjiang, Emperor Guangwu was unable to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops for the expedition, but in order to ensure the success of the Northern Expedition, he equipped Zhu Ruodeng
They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. Generals Ma Bao, Chen Youlong, Li Benzhen, Hu Maozhen, Yan Xiaoyong, Liu Guoxuan, and Gan Hui were all killed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Although his second son has never fought in a war, Zhu Hengjia firmly believes that
, with the help of these fierce generals, it is not difficult to defeat a few Rakshasa ghosts.
"Your Highness, in front of you is the Tula River (Tula River), and across this river is the city of Kulun." Pucheng Houma Bao galloped to Zhu Ruodeng's horse to report.
Zhu Ruodeng looked around and saw the river in the distance like a jade belt, green grass, countless cattle, sheep and horses, and herders grazing.
What a beautiful northern scenery!
When he went out for the first time to lead a large army, his heart was inevitably agitated. So he wrote the poem "Recalling Qin E·Crossing the Fortress" and said:
When the smoke rises, Jin Ge lives up to his heroic spirit.
Heroic intention, return me to Beihai, who can send this love?
Cow and sheep show by the Tula River,
A bright country cannot be abandoned for thousands of miles.
It’s hard to give up, the drums sound generous, the northern frontier is coming.
After reciting this poem about leaving the country, Zhu Ruodeng roared passionately: "Cross the river!"

Kulun City, also known as Kulun, Kuda, and Westerners called it Ubaga, which was Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia in later generations. This name means city circle in Mongolian, which is the residence of Master Jebtsundamba.<

When Emperor Guangwu set up a province in Outer Mongolia, he set up Outer Mongolia into two prefectures and four leagues: Tuxietu Prefecture, Tangnu Ulianghai Prefecture, Zasak Tu League, Chechen League, Sanyin Nuoyan League, and Kechen League.
Buduo League has Uliasutai of Sanyinnuoyan League as its capital, but the economic center of the entire Outer Mongolia is Kulun City, the capital of Tushetu Prefecture.
This city is located on the trade route between the Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa. Russian business travelers came and went from the border city of Kyaktu into the Ming Dynasty, and then traded in Kulun.
As soon as Zhu Ruodeng arrived at the gate of Kulun City, he saw the Mongolian governor Chen Bangyan, the governor of Outer Mongolia, Shi Dacheng, the Kulun commander Ma Xin, the Kyaktu commander Bao Bao, the Marquis of Karaqin Tubaseleng, and Prince Horqin's son Bierta.
Hal, Zasak Tubnorbu, Chechen Bobabu, Sanyinnuoyan Bodenzin and other civil and military officials are waiting for me.
"I'm going to see the King of Ji." Chen Bangyan saluted Zhu Ruodeng respectfully. "Disrespecting the vassal king" was a serious crime. Even though Chen Bangyan was the governor, he would not dare to neglect him.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Zhu Ruodeng did not dare to neglect this veteran minister who had followed his father to conquer the world for a long time. He acted like a junior and helped him up very politely.
Good luck.
Among the Long ministers, Chen Bangyan was considered young, just sixty years old, and very capable. He brought only 800 cavalry into Sichuan and wiped out the feudal towns in central Sichuan and pacified Mongolia. He made many meritorious deeds. With his ability, he also
Since he was relatively young, Zhu Hengjia wanted to leave him to his son. Over the years, he had been refusing to let him join the cabinet, planning to summon him after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor was in good health. He was sixty-eight this year, but he had no intention of dying. He kept pressing Chen Bangyan until he was sixty years old.
Seeing that King Ji was courteous and courteous to him, Chen Bangyan was very pleased and hurriedly invited Zhu Ruodeng and other generals into the Governor's Yamen and held a banquet in their honor.
The dishes in northern Xinjiang are not as refined as those in southern Xinjiang, but they have a rough beauty of their own. Tables are filled with hand-grilled meat, roasted fat lamb, etc.
Chen Bangyan personally poured a small bowl of kumis to Zhu Ruodeng, "Your Highness, the people of Kulun drink in bowls. I offer you a bowl."
The elder was respectful and did not dare to say goodbye. Zhu Ruodeng drank it all in one gulp, but he felt that the wine was delicious, sweet, and had a faint milky aroma. It was very good to drink. He couldn't help but praise: "It's beautiful! What's the name of this wine?" p>
"Your Highness, this wine is called 'Sailin Erha'. According to legend, it was made by Temujin's concubine. It was the royal wine of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty back then," Chen Bangyan said with a smile.
"Wonderful! I heard that this wine is called 'Yuan Yujiang' and is one of the eight treasures of Mongolia. It is indeed well-deserved!" Zhu Ruodeng was full of praise.
The officials who attended the banquet together couldn't help but admire him. His Royal Highness King Ji was so knowledgeable that he even knew this!
In fact, before coming here, Zhu Ruodeng had done enough homework and learned the customs and culture of the North. While he drank and talked with everyone cordially, he put down his arrogance and exchanged glasses with everyone. After paying tribute to the governor, he paid tribute to the governor.
Civil servants and military generals, and even the leaders of various Mongolian tribes, all paid homage to him.
Everyone was delighted to see His Royal Highness King Ji so approachable. As we came and went, our feelings continued to heat up.
"Pah~pah~pah~"
Chen Bangyan high-fived repeatedly, and a group of Mongolian young men and women filed in, sang Mongolian folk songs and danced Mongolian dances, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
Zhu Ruodeng was drunk and fell asleep on the table. Chen Bangyan laughed when he saw this and winked. Two Mongolian girls helped Zhu Ruodeng log in. They were not Orchids, but Mongolian Zasa
The noble women of the Ketu tribe and the Chechen tribe are all of perfect beauty.
Chen Bangyan was in control of Mongolia for a long time, and just like the Mongolian emperor, he ordered several noble women to accompany King Ji. It was just a trivial matter, and all Mongolian tribes were proud to offer their noble daughters to the Ming prince.
He had been staying in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and always wanted to return to Nanjing. Even if he couldn't join the cabinet, he might as well become a minister! But for some reason, Emperor Guangwu refused to let him return to Nanjing. The public statement was that "there is no replacement for Chen Bangyan"
I am not worried about keeping Mongolia in check." This certainly gave him the feeling that the emperor trusted him, but as time went by, he would inevitably complain.
Chen Bangyan wanted to make friends with some important ministers who could speak in front of the emperor, but it was not easy because they were too far away. King Ji happened to come, so he deliberately made friends in order to succeed.
It's a pity that Zhu Hengjia originally wanted to leave capable ministers like Chen Bangyan to the crown prince, but unexpectedly he was pocketed by King Ji! Heaven's way is 100, and no matter how good a person is, he can only get up to 99 points, and there is still one who escaped.
, cannot be mastered by human beings. Even a generation of geniuses like Emperor Guangwu can sometimes be inaccurate.
