The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 371 Sending Troops to Chagatai

Upon hearing this, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, immediately ran towards Renshou Palace.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao sighed when he saw the appearance of the King of Hell and the Emperor. Among his many brothers, Prince Yan Zhu Di was the most capable and skilled in battle, and he had the highest regard for him. So, he had sent his other older brothers out to fight, but he had kept Zhu Di in Yingtian Prefecture, hoping that Zhu Di could learn more about military strategy from Duke Xu Da of Wei, so that he could conquer more distant places in the future.

Duke Xu Da of Wei was very satisfied with this, and basically passed on all his military strategies to his son-in-law. His sons, including Xu Huizu, received his true teachings, but unfortunately, he was too honest and did not know how to be flexible. He was only of average appearance and could inherit his title of Duke of Wei, but it would be very difficult for him to achieve greater things in the future.

Compared to his other son, Xu Zengshou, who followed the grandson Zhu Xiong Ying and learned many skills, his military tactics were completely different from his own, so he couldn't teach him anything. But the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was different.

As his son-in-law, he also has very strong leadership skills, and it's good to have someone inherit his abilities.

After returning home, Prince Zhu Di of Yan found Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun was already pregnant at this time.

At this moment, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, looked at Xu Miaoyun somewhat hesitantly. He felt that this matter was very simple for him, but now that the words were on the tip of his tongue, he didn't know how to say them.

Seeing the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, in this state, Jun Miaoyun couldn't help but sigh.

Are you going to the battlefield?

Upon hearing this, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, paused for a moment and said with a face full of doubt.

"I don't think I've ever said anything like that before. How did you find out about this?"

Xu Miaoyun took a deep breath, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

“My father always looked like this when he went to war, so I can guess what it was like!”

"Don't worry, I'll pack your things for you. As for the matters inside the Prince Yan's residence, I'll handle them as well. Nothing will go wrong!"

Upon hearing these words, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, had a complicated expression. He didn't know what to say. He thought he had thought everything through, but now that the moment had come, he didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, I will definitely conquer a vast territory, which will then serve as our fiefdom. At that time, we can live out our lives in peace and comfort!"

Xu Miaoyun nodded after hearing this. The Ming Dynasty's strategy towards these vassal kings has changed. If they want more land and a better life in the future, they will have to fight for it themselves.

On this point alone, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, had a greater advantage than the others.

"I believe you will definitely become an outstanding prince of the Ming Dynasty in the future. However, in this situation, we will probably have to leave Yingtian Prefecture and leave the current territory of the Ming Dynasty to go elsewhere!"

When he arrived here, he let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with complex emotions and reluctance.

Prince Zhu Di of Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, that day will still take a long time to come. After all, it will take a long time to bring the border areas completely under the jurisdiction of our Great Ming."

I won't risk letting you go until things are completely stable!

Zhu Xiong Ying was extremely surprised to learn of the troop movements in the capital.

"Unexpectedly, the Chagatai Khanate in the east has also sent troops at this time."

But this is good, at least it lets those guys know that our Great Ming's enemies are still many khanates in the west! Although they are nominally vassals of the Great Yuan, in reality they all fight their own battles and are basically not under our control.

Therefore, when the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, they did nothing.

But now that such a large area of ​​grassland has been vacated, that's what they really care about.

However, they were not entirely clear about the true strength of the Ming Dynasty. Even with Mahmud leading the way, they dared not mobilize too many troops. Therefore, they only sent a few thousand soldiers to this place to gather information, also in order to gain some benefits. If they could obtain enough benefits, they would not mind bringing more troops. Of course, if the Ming Dynasty was strong enough, they probably would not continue fighting.

Normally, such minor skirmishes wouldn't require the Ming Dynasty to send out more troops. However, this time, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and a total of thirty-five battalions of soldiers were dispatched. This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to completely crush these people. They didn't have the courage to continue eastward. If given the opportunity, they could attack westward and seize more territory.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said, "Judging by the timing, we might be able to see Duke Cao before he sends out his troops."

I was just about to give him some gifts.

Not long afterward, Zhu Xiong Ying returned to the capital.

Upon hearing this news, the nobles, officials, and gentry of the court were filled with lamentations. Zhu Xiong Yingfan had only been gone for a short time, and they had finally enjoyed a period of peace and quiet. How could this guy be back again?

After returning, Zhu Xiong Ying did not go directly to the palace, but instead went directly to the residence of the Duke of Cao.

At this moment, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao, arrived at the entrance of Caowo Kungfu with Li Jinglong and others to greet them.

At this time, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong was already quite old, but one could still see the heroic spirit of his youth in his brows.

"Your subject, Li Wenzhong, pays respects to the Imperial Grandson!"

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly helped Li Wenzhong up.

"There's no need for such formalities among family members. You are the elder, after all. How can an elder bow to a junior?"

Li Wenzhong's gaze remained extremely firm.

"The ruler is the ruler, and the subject is the subject; the proper etiquette between ruler and subject must not be disregarded!"

After everyone went inside, Zhu Xiong Ying looked at Li Jing Long beside him and said with a smile.

"Jiujiang, how's it going? Feeling anything? Staying in Yingtian Prefecture must have been so stifling for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong smiled and shook his head. He knew very well that although he trusted his father, he couldn't allow his father to take the whole family away from this place, especially since Li Wenzhong held considerable military power this time.

So it's perfectly normal for me to stay in the capital, especially considering that I've been training on the battlefield with Chen Heng all these years.

It has already made him grow and mature a lot.

He originally thought he was already quite good among the younger generation, but now it seems there are many talented people in the world. If he can work hard to improve himself, he will probably have a hard time securing a place in the upcoming fierce competition.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I did not feel anything!"
