Due to the cooperation of Togu Si Timur, the two parties quickly reached a negotiation on the content of the cooperation and other conditions. However, judging from the sad look on the face of the Beiyuan empress, I am afraid that the content of this agreement is not good for him.
Not much benefit.
After all, even as the nominal emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the one facing Timur should be the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, not the current young prince Zhu Gui.
But Zhu Gui didn't think so. Although he successfully caught the Beiyuan Empress by chance this time, which shortened his depiction of the Ming Dynasty territory for a long time, this did not
It doesn't mean it's over.
Through conversations with the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, I learned that the conflict between the Waci and Tatar tribes within the Northern Yuan Dynasty has reached an increasingly serious level. This is also the main reason why he will personally go on an expedition this time, because he wants to fight through a war.
to alleviate the conflicts between the two tribes.
The Junggar tribe who accompanied Tugus Timur on this expedition was officially from the Wasi tribe. If the results were outstanding this time, then it is good to say that the conflict between the Wasi and Tatar tribes could continue to be suppressed.
But now that the Junggar tribe has suffered very serious military losses, the Tatar tribe and even several other large tribes within the Wazi tribe may have other thoughts.
On the contrary, regarding Yesu Die'er, the Beiyuan Empress had no doubts about him at all, and even let him lead 50,000 Mongolian elite cavalry to carry out the so-called sneak attack plan.
Little did he know that in history it was this general whom Togu Si Timur trusted so much that ended the Northern Yuan Dynasty with his own hands. What Zhu Gui did not expect was that Yesudier also came here this time, and also came here.
He left with a 50,000-strong Mongolian cavalry force.
Judging from the intelligence that the scouts following this unit kept returning, the Tatar general did not carry out his so-called sneak attack plan, but directly led his army back to the grassland.
It doesn't take much thinking to guess that, although he did not personally kill Togu Si Timur according to the historical process, but directly abolished the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he should still choose to unify the various Mongolian tribes and change the dynasty.
Once Yesu Die'er completes his plan, the value of the Beiyuan Empress Master's trump card in Zhu Gui's hand will be minimal.
Therefore, there was not much time left for Zhu Gui to operate. Should he stay in place to clean up these Mongolian cavalry and complete the task assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, or go deep into the grassland and compete with Yesudiel for control of the grassland.
Zhu Gui fell into deep thought for a while.
"Your Highness, no matter what you do, I will stand firmly on your side." Xu Miaoqing looked at Zhu Gui firmly and said affectionately.
Zhu Gui smiled and nodded in response to the other party's expectations.
"Well, go and call General Xu over. I have important matters to discuss with him."
Xu Yingxu was cleaning the battlefield and soon came to the camp. After hearing Zhu Gui's considerations, he also fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, this war is coming to an end. The court is waiting for our memorial. I think we should not take risks at this time."
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "But there is no such store after passing this village. Next time we want to compete with Yesudie'er for control of the grassland, it will not be so simple."
"But..." Xu Yingxu wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Zhu Gui waving his hand.
"Okay, I have made a decision, General Xu can just carry out the military orders."
"yes."
So the next day, Xu Yingxu led more than 20,000 cavalry to clean up the battlefield and continued to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, while Zhu Gui led less than 3,500 cavalry from Datong Prefecture deep into the grassland.
But because its whereabouts were secretive, not many people noticed the movements of this army.
The order Zhu Gui left for Xu Yingxu was to delay as much time as possible to buy him time, but it would not exceed a month at most before he would return.
If Zhu Gui does not return after a month, Xu Yingxu can lead his army back to the court to report the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Xu Yingxu was a little worried, he also had great trust in Zhu Gui's ability, so he didn't say anything else after some instructions.
This time, due to the long journey, Xu Miaoqing did not go to the grassland with Zhu Gui, which made Xu Miaoqing a little disappointed.
However, Zhu Gui still assigned her a task, which was to use the city defense design drawings he drew for her to supervise the construction of city defenses in several border cities.
It can be regarded as an insurance measure to prevent the Mongols from continuing to plunder the border in the future, and at the same time, it also gives the bored Xu Miaoqing something to do.
Zhu Gui did not expect that Xu Miaoqing would accumulate huge reputation for him because of this incident.
This time Tuogusi Timur, the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also returned to the grassland with Zhu Gui, but his mood was indeed very complicated.
When he came, he was the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with an army of 150,000 men. Unexpectedly, he had become a prisoner when he returned. Although Zhu Gui treated him with courtesy, the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty still felt like he was under someone else's roof.
"Your Excellency, we have arrived on the grassland. Now you should tell me where Yesudier's tribe is, right?" Zhu Gui looked at the vast grassland and felt a surge of emotion in his heart, but he had not forgotten the business yet.
.
It turned out that Togu Si Timur had been unwilling to believe that Yesudie'er would betray him, and he did not even mention to Zhu Gui the other party's plan to plagiarize Nanjing City. He also had expectations in his heart, that is, once Yesudie'er completed
If he has achieved an unprecedented feat, then he, the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, can still restore the Great Yuan Dynasty.
"Your Highness, I think it is completely in vain for you to do this. The general has not returned to the grassland, and the conflicts between the tribes on the grassland are very serious now. Even if I am here, I may not be able to protect your safety.
." Togu Si Temür said this.
Zhu Gui naturally heard the other party Gu Zuoyue's other thoughts, so he said: "I don't bother you to worry about this. Moreover, even if the general does not return to the grassland, according to the content of our negotiations, I will not worry about it."
You can go to the grassland to inspect it. Aren’t the grassland ministries worried about food now?”
As soon as food was mentioned, Togu Si Timur's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Highness, do you really have a way to transport grain to the grassland? And as far as I know, the laws of the Ming Dynasty do not allow you Han people to trade with us Mongols, right? You will not be punished by the emperor for doing this.
?”
Although Togu Si Timur was a little excited, he was more worried and asked.
