Yang Yiqing had won a great victory on the southern front. At the same time, the Wala people on the northern front were not doing any better.
Back then, they were proud of the fact that they had kidnapped the emperor of the Ming court.
But now they finally began to know what the consequences of angering Da Ming were.
When Yang Yiqing had won a crushing victory outside the pass, Great Ming's army had reached an unprecedented height.
The territory of Great Ming was north of the pass and stretched for 10,000 kilometers. The military strength of Great Ming also caused the entire world to panic because of these two battles.
Yang Yiqing collected his soldiers and retreated into the pass in an orderly manner.
When they returned to Datong, all the soldiers and commoners on the nine sides cheered. The scene was magnificent and shocking.
Yang Yiqing didn't stay idle. When he returned to Da Tong, he quickly sent the fruitful results of the war to Bei Zhi Li.
At the same time.
Thieves were common on the Silk Road west of Turpan.
In the past, every time Eastern European people walked on this path, they were all terrified.
A small group of horse bandits was currently surrounding a group of Persians who were going to exchange horses for tea.
The Persians kowtowed and knelt around.
Just as this group of horse bandits was about to rob as usual.
A horse was riding over with yellow sand.
This was a scout from the Ming Dynasty, who had just returned from the map of the continent of Asia and Europe.
The scout looked at the horse bandit indifferently and said,""Let them go."
"I am the Ming army!"
There were hundreds of horse bandits.
However, a strange scene appeared.
The hundreds of people stared at the awe-inspiring little soldier of the Great Ming Dynasty, and without saying a word, they turned their horses around and galloped away.
The Persians who went to trade with the Ming Dynasty looked at the fleeing horse bandits and then at the back of the Ming soldiers who rode towards Turpan.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, their eyes wide open.
It was just a small soldier of the Great Ming Dynasty. He didn't even say anything threatening, and the bandits were already so afraid!
Was this Big Ming?
That's right!
This was the might of Great Ming!
Even a gang of thousands of people would not dare to provoke this group of powerful Han people on the Silk Road, let alone hundreds of them!
Because everyone knew the consequences of angering a wise man.
……
Hall of Heaven.
Morning court.
Dong dong dong.
The hurried footsteps of soldiers came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, great victory! A great victory! A great victory outside the pass! The head of the little Tartar prince is here!"
The officials of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute were overjoyed.
Zhu Youtang wasn't too surprised. It was within his expectations, so there was no need to make a fuss.
If he couldn't even deal with the two thieves outside the pass, Yang Yiqing would have wasted ten years in Datong.
"Announce the decree!"
"Immediately summon Yang Yiqing back to the capital.”
It was easy to conquer the north, but it was difficult to defend it.
Zhu Youtang had to build an unprecedentedly impregnable city outside the pass and move the people there.
"Yes!"
……
After the court retreated, all the officials looked at Zhu Youtang's back and gasped.
This battle cost Da Ming at least ten million taels of silver.
The Emperor had used a year and a half to invest almost twenty million taels of silver in the northern border.
So much investment had finally paid off today.
Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one emperor who could push the military peak to a thousand kilometers outside the pass.
And this process only took Zhu Youtang a year and a half.
How big was Tian Zi's ambition?!
Taking down the northern border was not only to obtain vast land, but more importantly, it was to obtain a vast grassland.
And this grassland was undoubtedly the best place to raise warhorses.
Zhu Youtang's army naturally wouldn't stop there.
He still needed to nurture a large number of warhorses. With warhorses, the mobility of the Great Ming Cavalry would become stronger.
With a strong cavalry camp, if Great Ming wanted to continue to push westward to Western Europe, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
……
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission.”
"Ding…do you wish to cultivate the fifth level of the Art of Longevity?”
'Ding…practice completed.'
In the harem.
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
The fifth level of the Art of Longevity!
Zhu Youtang walked to the back garden, casually plucked a leaf and threw it out.
The green leaves were as tough as hidden weapons and were ten inches deep into the trunk.
Zhu Youtang nodded to himself and walked towards Benevolence Palace.
……
A few palace maids who had passed by were staring blankly at the leaves that had penetrated deep into the tree trunk.
After a long while, a palace maid frowned.”
The palace maid was shocked and quickly went to Renshou Palace to find Zhu Youtang who was playing chess with Zhang Qin.
"Emperor, this servant suspects that someone in the harem has ill intentions.”
Zhu Youtang didn't care much, and his hand didn't even stop raising the chess piece."Pao five into six."
After he finished speaking, he said to the palace maid,"Go and find Governor Cao. If anything happens to the harem, Huai 'en will know the consequences.”
"Yes."
……
Huai 'en was sweating profusely as he was led to the imperial garden by the palace maid.
"Governor, this is it. Look.”
The palace maid pointed at the green leaves that were deep in the tree trunk and said to Wynne.
The barbarians behind Wynne looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
Not to mention the Emperor, even if something happened to someone in the harem, the East Chamber would have to turn themselves in to apologize.
The last time Zhu Youtang was assassinated, Huai 'en directly executed ten eunuchs who were on duty in the harem.
The East Chamber was ruthless not only to their enemies but also to their own people.
Wynne stared at the green leaves that were deep in the tree trunk, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead."This thief is extremely powerful!"
Wynne quickly made a judgment and then said to the people behind him as if he was facing a great enemy,"Hurry up! Let all the servants come to the rear palace and check the eunuchs and palace maids one by one. Once they find anyone who knows martial arts, bring them directly to the East Chamber!”
"Yes!"
Because of Zhu Youtang's casual actions, the harem was already in chaos.
Zhu Youtang naturally did not know.
"General."
Zhu Youtang took down the opponent's two players and said to Consort De Zhang Qin,""You lost."
Zhang Qin was a little shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Who could take the pieces off the chessboard when playing chess? Wasn't this cheating?
However, she did not dare to say much to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang smiled." When I didn't win the double knight, the chess game was chaotic and it was difficult to win or lose.”
"But because I am the emperor, even if I take down the two scholars right under your nose, you still don't dare to say anything.”
Zhu Youtang stood up and looked southeast."This is the privilege Zhen gave you, Marvin Sheng!”
"I'll see how you play this game of chess in the southeast.”
