Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy
Chapter 502: Western Expedition Memorial
......
"So, you just used up others like this and threw them aside?"
After getting what he wanted from Zhao Zheng, Lao Zhu was in a good mood and was happy to accompany his sister every day.
In particular, the strategy that Zhao Zheng finally proposed to him using the Beihe Patrol vest really touched his heart.
But for Empress Ma, they had already passed Zhongdu and were about to return to Yingtian Prefecture, and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not reveal any details to her.
At first glance, you can tell he has some bad intentions.
She should ask about it and take charge of it.
"I'll remember it, don't worry, sister."
Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said that he was absolutely not afraid that staying with Zhao Zheng for too long would affect his own affairs.
There is no such thing as killing the donkey after it has done its job.
"What about the reply letters from my mother, my mother? They can't even show them to me? Don't they miss me, their mother, at all..."
I know Lao Zhu’s answer, which is that there is no question or answer.
Seeing that this strategy didn't work, Queen Ma immediately changed her strategy.
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. This action also brings up real emotions.
Old Zhu panicked immediately. This time he really couldn't refuse, so he hurriedly handed over his sons' replies. As for whether everything was detailed, he was very confident.
......
[Your son, the King of Qin, pays respect to your father.]
Since I, your son, followed the imperial order and marched westward, I have been striving to expand the country's power, demonstrate the prestige of our superior country, and benefit the people in all directions. Since then, I have finally achieved results. I wish my father, the emperor, the queen mother, and the crown prince good health. I am writing this letter to report what I have encountered during the expedition.
With these subjects, we are specially gifted with elite soldiers and powerful generals, and we are able to lead them.
In the past, my father was wise and able to order the steam engine to usher in the great era of the sun and the moon. The war here has become even more prosperous. I am even more moved to see the new changes in the war brought about by this engine. The matter is confidential, so I would like to ask my father to send my brother to see the engine.
On the westward expedition, the army's baggage train first met Hahuer. On first meeting, both the minister and the king were delighted to see each other. Thinking that the westward advance was blocked by the two Khanates, there were a lot of supplies, including a large number of war horses and lambs that almost bent the wheel spokes.
My son is very happy to know the status of the vassal state. I expect that the westward advance will be unstoppable, and the future will be as expected.
In the past few years, the remnants of Timur's army have escaped, they move like the wind, passing through the two Khanates, and are really difficult to capture. Timur is weak, and I cannot underestimate him.
Fortunately, I have a great momentum, and the blue tents of the two great khanates were instantly defeated by my silk shoes.
Building a city on the ground will show the magical effect.
There are no trees and few stones, so when training soldiers, all can benefit from it.
Sand and soil are used to make bricks, and the effect of cement is added. Less manpower is used, and the infantry can protect the city by rotating several times with the stars and the moon.
As for the soldiers in the old land, they value martial spirit and if we do not use them, we will ambush them in the upper country.
Therefore, in the westward advance, the army became not weaker but stronger, and everyone was more encouraged.
There was a Timur who would be defeated without a fight. When he saw our dragon flag, his men threw away their armor and weapons and spoke cautiously.
The westward advance is not only time-consuming in terms of fighting, but also due to the long and wasteful journey.
Afterwards, when the smoke of war was cleared and the army moved, I finally saw a new land that had never been seen in previous dynasties.
This place has no name. I originally thought it was Persia, but Persia is very old.
It is spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land is flat in the north, so there are more Ferghana horses. I have already sent the carriages, but I am afraid the horses will be wasted. I hope my father will see this letter and wait for a while.
Further north of here, the scouts reported back that it was cold, so I headed south again. The land in the south is very different.
I was also confused for a long time, but later I felt happy and laughed, and entertained my father.
When I first arrived in the southern part of the Western Regions, I had no idea where it was, nor any books to refer to. I only saw a county that looked majestic from afar, and an enemy fully armed with armor.
The troops of the superior country are not yet complete, so what about the troops in this new land? I will only order the army to stay where they are and wait for the scouts to reply before making any further moves.
When the enemy saw the large army, they chirped like birds. I didn't know how they reacted, but I saw that they were arrogant.
But Yili spread the news by word of mouth among the people inside the country, and then the people on the border spread it.
There is no way to get the specific details, we can only hear the words of tribute.
What a small country you are! You look down upon my great country! How bold of you! I am afraid you have some support, so I hesitate.
When the scouts returned, it was only then that I understood.
How can a small place give birth to a big country? Grandeur is a sign of extravagance.
There is only one city in the area, with stars falling on both sides, which is better than my wild land.
It is not that there is no emperor. If the emperor dies, the world will disappear. How dare the rats and wolves claim to be kings? If the second emperor is established, dare to call him a cultured one. Xiao Huai dares to be here, and he can be praised as a heroic ruler.
As for the fully armed soldiers, they made my ministers speechless.
There is the technology to make steel, but it is not effective on a large scale. It is only used for the nobles, the facade of the armory, and the display of silk.
Power and authority are not based on military strength, but on ancient history, and relatives ask the virtual gods to be witnesses.
My accumulated wealth has been ruined by this false pretense, which is really embarrassing.
In order to offer sacrifices to the flags, and also because of the anger, the rescue of the camp was ineffective. I have a strange idea, what if there is a steam engine to roll stones, or add pillars and arrows.
As expected, Xumi is a ruin.
I was very happy, so I thought, if I could study the uses of things and apply them to military affairs, and add the achievements of the Zhao family, I could achieve great success wherever I go.
When we arrived at Lu Mi, it was not a good place, but we had the spirit of a heroic leader, and the army had traveled a long way, so we needed to rest.
I cannot express everything in this letter, so I bow again. 】
......
[Your son, the Prince of Jin, bows his head and pays respects to your father.
Since I received the imperial order, I have led the army to the west with my brothers. I was terrified, fearing that I would not be able to bear the burden. Therefore, I set out carefully, crossing mountains and rivers, and crossing deserts. Fortunately, the places we passed through were mostly within the reach of our dynasty's prestige.
Now that the treatment has shown initial results, I have many concerns, so I am reporting back to my father and wishing my mother, the queen mother, and the crown prince good health. I am sorry that I cannot be in person.
When we set out, we had to follow the imperial decree and load up our troops, food and fodder and set out at dawn.
There were dangerous mountains and rivers and endless deserts along the way, but he was not afraid. His momentum was earth-shaking. Wherever he passed, the grass and trees were all startled, the birds and beasts fled far away, and there was no enemy.
However, when passing through the border, my brother saw the opportunity of Wang Hahuer, and that I was no match for him. So he took away our complete strength and robbed our people of their necessary vitality in order to arm themselves.
When your Majesty sees this letter, please give me some advice so as not to disrupt the security of our borders and hurt the hearts of our subjects.
As for my elder brother's mistakes, it is also the fault of me and my younger brothers, so I should do more work.
But when we enter the two Khanates, I cannot shirk my responsibility for these matters.
The enemy Timur was not a force to be reckoned with, and the reputation of Duke Bowang had spread far and wide. In addition, these two countries, when they saw the mighty royal army, felt like joining them.
My weapons and armor come from my subjects. I am fortunate to be on a long expedition and have the opportunity to gain advantage and avoid casualties. This is God's will.
Unexpectedly, my brother was delighted to see the enemy, and raised an army when he encountered the enemy's camp, causing disaster out of nowhere.
We, the ministers, did not investigate and thought that people like Timur could only follow.
But when the ground is level and clear, and there are few corpses of soldiers everywhere, my faults will be less likely to be investigated.
If my brother adds more soldiers, it will be even more dangerous. If there are innocent people, they will also be added to his camp. Let alone there is no one who is braver than him. If you are negligent, you will be punished with death.
I feel really guilty for not being able to persuade others. I can only be careful and follow my brother's wishes. Fortunately, I have your protection and a safe journey.
When we encountered the enemy, my brother was more powerful than me, so we used the surrendered soldiers as vanguards and rewarded them for their bravery. Most of the enemies were eliminated.
When they were about to advance southward, they had the opportunity to use steam engines to aid military operations. However, they got confused halfway and encountered the Kingdom of Yelang. They hesitated for many days and were saved by their brother's ingenious imagination.
By now we had reached Lu Mi, and had already covered a thousand miles on the Western Expedition. We were invincible, and all the enemy countries were terrified.
However, I dare not be complacent. Military affairs are of great importance to a country. They determine life and death, and the way to survival or destruction. They must be carefully considered.
Therefore, I am vigilant day and night to prevent any accidents, and I also hope that my father will question me. In an unfamiliar place, it takes new things to govern the people.
The book cannot express everything, so I bow again. 】
