Previous Chapter: Chapter 33 Changes (Part 2) Next Chapter: Chapter 35 New Year's Eve (Part 2) No matter how many doubts Zhu Chongjiu himself had about the success of the Northern Expedition, the Huai'an army sent troops to most of the areas after the weather got warmer. Everything has become a done deal. (hua ads) Visit:. Occupying the southern half of the Grand Canal, which is most convenient for transporting people, horses and baggage, the current controlled area is closely connected with the Mongolian Yuan Zhongshu Province. If Tuohuan Timur and his son were allowed to come to the 'door', there would be no chance of it. If we are not sure, the "expulsion of the Tartars" advocated by the Huai'an Army over the years will become empty talk. Not only will they suffer a complete defeat in their fight for the right to speak with corrupt scholars, but the entire army, especially those middle and lower-level officers who have followed Zhu Chongjiu since Xuzhou, will also lose their direction in life in an instant. In addition, Meng Yuan will not remain in chaos forever. According to the secret reports sent back by the agents stationed in Dadu and Yangqu by the Military Intelligence Department, at the same time that the main force of the Huai'an Army ended its crusade against Quanzhou and began to return north, some knowledgeable people from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties , also stood up one after another, admonishing Tuohuan Timur and his son to give up killing each other and jointly defend the inheritance of their ancestors. Their efforts were quite effective. First of all, they impressed the die-hard supporter Aiyoushilitara relied on, Pingzhang political minister Chahan Timur, and asked him to take the initiative to withdraw a group of troops to the west of Feihuling and temporarily gave up. Threat to Dadu Road. Li Siqi, who was newly appointed as Privy Councilor by Tuohuan Timur, did not want to compete with Chahan Timur, so he took the initiative to close the letter in Zijin and write to Tuohuan Timur, persuading him to give up his plot against Empress Qi and the Crown Prince. After the two people were investigated, the father and son reconciled as a couple. (Note 1) Natuohuan Timur originally planned to pass the throne to the prince after his death. I can't let go of the years of troubled couple relationship with Empress Qi in my heart. Most of the previous reactions were just forced self-preservation. At this moment, after receiving Li Siqi's memorial, he suddenly felt that he had reached the bottom of the stairs, and his murderous aura quickly turned into tenderness around his fingers. After some deliberation, he simply issued an edict to Aiyou to explain the situation, announcing that all the previous incidents between father and son were just misunderstandings caused by the instigation of "treacherous" ministers. As long as the prince is willing to escort Queen Qi back to Dadu, the old feud between father and son can be resolved. He was also willing to follow the old practices of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty and King Li Shimin of Qin Dynasty, in which the prince was ordered to supervise the country while he himself took refuge in the palace and took care of himself from then on. This step was indeed a big step back, and Prince Aiyou Shili was unable to remain moved. However, another close confidant under his command, Naisijian, insisted that Tuohuan Timur's move was just a common trick. When he dealt with Boyan, Tuotuo and others back then, he also gave enough benefits to make the other party become careless. (hua advertisement) Then suddenly kill someone. Now that the same trick is being used on his own son, he will never be merciful in the end. Otherwise, the premise would not have been set in advance, requiring Aiyou Shilitra to escort Queen Qi back to Dadu, instead of 'handing over' all power now. Once Aiyou Shilidala and his son were deceived and entered the sphere of influence of the Imperial Forbidden Army and Li Siqi, the result would be a tragic ending where ambushes from all directions would appear and they would be captured and imprisoned in the blink of an eye. Aiyou Shilida La could not believe that his usually dull and confused father had such a cunning side, so he had no choice but to ask his mother, Queen Qi, for advice. At this moment, Empress Qi was completely in chaos. Wiping his eyes and sobbing for a while, he responded sadly, "As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor's family is. What's more, it is our mother and son who are sorry for your father first. No matter what he does, there is enough reason. How can I guess the specific step?" When Aiyou Shili answered this, her excitement immediately cooled down. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my father gave in too easily. After much thought, he simply stayed in Jining Road under the pretext of containing Aruhui Timur for his father, and in the name of the Prince Supervisor, he dispatched officials and troops to Yunzhong and Datong, posing a long-term plan. Separatist rule to the west of the Taihang Mountains, a gesture of rivalry with his father. ??????????????????????? As a result, the father and son were reconciled as before in a short period of time, and it became clear that there was no longer any hope. However, the civil war between the two sides quickly came to an end thanks to the efforts of a group of caring people. The province of Zhongshu was divided into two along the Taihang Mountains and its northward remnants. The west side was owned by Prince Aiyou Shilitara, while the east side was still temporarily owned by Tuhuan Timur, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. The civil and military forces of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties in the two major provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu have temporarily given up the attack on Jining and concentrated all their forces to prepare for the challenge from the Bianliang Red Scarf after the Spring Festival. The chaos and disputes within the Meng Yuan Dynasty have come to an end for the time being, which is certainly not good news for Huaiyang. Therefore, after receiving the information sent back by Xi Zuo's adventure, the entire Huaiyang General Manager's Office worked harder and faster to prepare for the Northern Expedition. No one can guarantee that Tuohuan Timur, who has practiced the secret art of Yandieer to the point of intoxication, will one day completely decide to give up the mortal world and pursue immortality wholeheartedly.Avenue. In that case, the various forces in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty will be reintegrated into one because of Tuohuan Timur's decisive abdication. The risks and challenges faced by the Huai'an Army on the Northern Expedition will inevitably increase exponentially. Time is not waiting for us. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Huai'an army. Although everyone knows that it is impossible to fight in the ice and snow in the north. No matter how anxious you are, the time for the expedition must be set after the beginning of spring. But throughout the winter, the Grand Administrative Office and its subordinate yamen at all levels rotated at high speed like a waterwheel in flood season. Weapons, ammunition, military rations, armor, and various medicinal materials that were ground into powder, rolled into balls, and packed into small packages were transported to Xuzhou in trucks and ships along the canals and roads. The Jiangwu Hall and Huaxia University also kept fireworks going all winter long. In the temporarily vacated classroom, young officials grabbed handouts and chalk and introduced their experience in local governance without reservation to the newly recruited staff of the General Manager's Office, hoping that they could master the basics in a short period of time. With his official position, he turned the various places recovered during the Northern Expedition into stable territories under the rule of the Grand Governor as quickly as possible. "And in the large campuses in the suburbs of several major cities, people shouting and horses neighing can be heard all the time. A war does not always win with a large number of people. Ten well-trained elite soldiers, working together, can drive away a hundred country warriors. With the increase in combat experience and the cramming training in the martial arts hall, the 'elite' soldier policy advocated by Zhu Chongjiu has now penetrated into the bones of the entire Huai'an army. Whether it is the 1st, 3rd, 4th, or 7th legions that are about to go to the battlefield after the start of the "spring", or the 5th legion that is ordered to stay behind, they all seize the last moment to carry out a new round of polishing of the new recruits and veterans under their command. Even the auxiliary troops who had just gone through a round of selection continued to run in the biting humidity and cold, trying to improve the soldiers' physical indicators. There is still more than half a month until the end of the new year, and there are still more than twenty days before the start of spring. If someone shows "color" during this period and makes rapid progress, there is still hope of being selected into the warrior team. That not only meant a reward of fifteen acres of land and two acres of land for each level of merit, but also meant that they would bid farewell to their original life completely. Change the court, and one day even honor your ancestors like Liu Ziyun, Zhu Qiang, Xu Da and others! Before joining the army, Liu Ziyun, deputy capital commander and deputy privy envoy of the First Army Corps, was just a gangster who made a living by extorting money. Zhu Qiang, the commander of the Huaiyang Navy, was just the helmsman of the boat gang. The commander of the Third Army Corps, Xu Da, was from an even worse background. He was a refugee who didn't even know Chinese characters and had no meal at all. Similarly, there are Wu Xiyu, commander of the Fourth Army Corps, Wang Bi, deputy commander of the Third Army Corps, Huang Zheng, director of the Work Bureau, and others. If you take a closer look, which one of them was not a complete commoner back then? And after they follow the general manager, they can become officials with heavy troops and generals and shouldering heavy responsibilities. According to the current situation, it is inevitable that Ling Yan will be named Ling Yan in the near future, and will be admired by all generations. With such a rapid rise in life, how could other children from grassroots families regard them as role models in life? Joining the army, going to the Northern Expedition with General Zhu, keeping General Zhu as emperor, and then getting an official position during the government's reward period, this winter has almost become the ultimate dream of many young people from ordinary families. In order to realize their dreams, they are even willing to die, so why should they be afraid of wet and cold weather and one or two failed selections? "Chang Xianyun, come out. Lead all your brothers to the low wall a hundred feet in front, and jump back and forth five times with weapons!" Looking at the fiery eyes of the young people, Zhou Chang, the head coach of the Auxiliary Regiment, was like Seeing himself back then, he waved his prosthetic hand made of wood and shouted instructions. "Yes!" Chang Xiaoer, who was temporarily appointed as the head of the auxiliary army, shouted and rushed to the front of his team, raised a fake wooden musket with one hand, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me. The second day of the twelfth lunar month There is still one round of selection at Seventeen. Whether you can pass it depends on the next few days!" After saying that, he suddenly bent down and rushed out like lightning. The slightly fat butt rises and falls as the legs move. "Hey hey hey" behind him, there was a burst of low laughter. But soon, the laughter was swallowed up by the sound of hurried footsteps. The young men from the three companies and three capitals of the Auxiliary Regiment, Battalion, and Battalion followed Chang Xiaoer one by one, like a group of leopards that had just learned to hunt. Behind the wooden wall, which was a hundred feet large according to Huai'an standards, hid their imaginary prey, "Meng" Yuan officers and soldiers or Xiangyong. Opportunities are equal for everyone, especially on the battlefield. Whether you can live and make meritorious deeds depends entirely on your own abilities. After several years of subtlety, some of Zhu Chongjiu's concepts of equality have slowly penetrated into the hearts of ordinary people. Although at present, everyone in Huaiyang cannot truly be equal. But at least ordinary people see more opportunities for advancement. And knowing that your hard work usually pays off. "I want to be a general, seal and become a marquis!" Amidst the rapid footsteps, Chang Xiaoer suddenly shouted in a low voice, supported on one arm, and jumped over the low wooden wall. It's like a carp crossing the dragon's gate. Note 1: Yangqu was the administrative center of Jining Road in the Yuan Dynasty.
