The Imperial Age 山河月明 Episode 44

Zhu Di taught Zhu Zhanji that what he just said was true, but the reason was only reason. The use of soldiers must be considered foolproof. After all, the grassland people are different from the Central Plains people. They can have children on horseback. Besides, there have been many of them over the years. With so many cavalry, it is inevitable that there will be two hearts. Zhu Di also knew that the Ming Dynasty was still in Su, the people were recuperating, and it was not appropriate to raise soldiers, but this time it was also forced by the situation and had to be done. At this time, in the Ming army camp in the Luqu River, the general has ordered to attack the Yuan people's camp tomorrow morning. Just because they caught a priest from the Yuan Dynasty, they knew where the royal court was, and said that their guards were lax, with only more than 2,000 people. Both the Marquis of Anping and the Marquis of Wucheng thought this matter was strange and should not be taken lightly.

The general who conquered the enemy thought he could not miss the opportunity, and regardless of the advice of his subordinates, he rashly dispatched troops, and finally fell into the trap of the Yuan people. Qiu Fu was shot to death by the Yuan people. Zhu Di sent word that he would return to the capital, and Qiu Fu had humiliated the country after his death. In addition to his title, his family was exiled to Hainan. Li Yuan and Wang Cong persuaded him to do good deeds, and they were both posthumously named dukes. Zhu Di decided to go on another northern expedition within the year. Yang Zirong shared his concerns with Xia Yuanji in private. It seemed that no one in the army could serve as a general to lead the army to Mobei, but Xia Yuanji said that the best general in the whole Ming Dynasty was not Zhu Di himself. Zhu Gaochi in Beijing soon learned that his father was going to conquer Mobei in person to clear the desert. Zhu Di had a deep concern. After he personally fought, he did not have a prince to sit for him.

Daoyan mentioned Zhu Zhanji, who was twelve years old. Zhu Di decided to let Zhu Zhanji sit in command. Xia Yuanji served as the four ministers to assist the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, while Zhu Di led the army at the age of knowing the destiny. Oirat sent a messenger to see Zhu Di. The other party was afraid of Daming, so his language was very respectful. The great Tartar Khan abandoned the camp and went to Oara with his guards. The Taishi (Boyan Timur) stood up in shock. Haibui didn't agree to let his younger brother lead someone to chase him, and Boyan was puzzled. Haibei said that they could not escape this disaster, and if the sweat went to Oara, Oara might not be able to accommodate him. Zhu Di wanted to fight the Tartars first, but he wanted to suppress the strong and help the weak, so he would definitely not let Arutai go.

After the Ming army came over, the Tartars could not support for a long time, and Haibei had to ask his younger brother to ask for a title and become a minister to Zhu Di. Zhu Di returned triumphantly, and Zhu Gaochi led the officials to greet him. Xia Yuanji and Zhu Di reported on the manpower and material resources needed to dredge the river. This is only the first step. It will take several years for the north-south waterway to connect from the north to the south. Zhu Di could see clearly that the reason why Xia Yuanji was anxious to clear Huitong and immediately dig Qingjiangpu was inseparable from his anxious use of troops in Mobei. But Zhu Di told him to wait a little longer, because Arutai has been honest in the past two years, but Mahamu has become more and more presumptuous. In 1413 AD, the eleventh year of Yongle's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di moved the Empress Zigong to the Changling Mausoleum in Beijing.

Zhu Di said these things in front of Miaoyun's tablet in Changling Mausoleum, and he was going to expedition to Mobei again next year. In the battle of Hulan Hu hypothermia, the Ming army came from thousands of miles away, and in the field battle, the cavalry that the nomads were best at confronted, and they defeated the Oirat cavalry, which was known as the invincible outside the Great Wall! In this battle, the 30,000 cavalry of Oara was completely destroyed. After the defeat of the army, Mahamu led his troops to flee far away, and he did not dare to look south until his death. Daoyan was also old and lying on the hospital bed, he advised Zhu Di to rest well. In 1420, Zhu Di issued an imperial edict to move the capital to Beijing. When the Yuan people came to invade, Zhu Di decided to go on another northern expedition next spring.

Xia Yuanji went to persuade, and Zhu Di was like Emperor Gao, and what he had decided would not be changed. Yang Zirong persuaded Xia Yuanji to give up the idea of ​​persuading, but Xia Yuanji insisted on going, which still angered Zhu Di, and Jinyiwei served the emperor. He ordered Xia Yuanji's house to be seized, but found that he was very poor. Zhu Di remembered that Yuanji was conscientious and conscientious in these years, and decreed that one meat per day should be provided, the prison cell should be larger, charcoal fire should be provided in winter, and glutinous rice balls during festivals should be provided.
