Chapter 447: The Dejected Niu Zhongxia

Chapter 447: The Dejected Niu Zhongxia
"Then my royal brother will definitely launch multiple attacks of varying scales next year, so he will need more supplies, right?" Zhu Houxuan brought the subject back.

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao said immediately, "Is it okay?"

Zhu Houxuan glared at Zhu Houzhao unhappily, "If I have a problem, can I not raise so many supplies?"

"No." Zhu Houzhao scratched his head awkwardly.

"That's it," said Zhu Houxuan.

Zhu Houzhao was speechless.

"Royal brother, after this battle we must begin to streamline the border troops and free up some military funds," said Zhu Houxuan.

"I am very sure of that."

Niu Zhongxia was lying in the yurt, staring blankly at the skylight on top of the yurt, wondering what he was thinking.
"Tuzhigen, hurry up and get up. Look what I brought you."

Wujina's voice came over.

Niu Zhongxia turned around and saw Wujina entering the yurt, exhausted and holding something in her hands.

Niu Zhongxia felt warm in his heart, "You went shopping? And why didn't you see Eji (Mom)?"

"Two sheep were lost, and Eji went to look for them." Wujina walked to Niu Zhongxia.

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie." Niu Zhongxia sat up, "Thank you for your hard work, too. You have been herding the sheep recently."

"It's okay. This is what I should do. Look what I brought you. I bought them in the Han town. They are new and good things, and they are much cheaper now." Wujina opened the thing in her hand.

"You actually bought some wine?" Tu Rigen couldn't help but swallow a few times.

"The newly arrived Dongfan sugarcane wine is half the price of sorghum wine. Come and try it to see if it tastes good." Wujina said as she opened the jar of wine.

"Drink it, then you can have a good sleep and feel less upset." Wujina poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Niu Zhongxia.

"I'm not upset," Niu Zhongxia took the wine bowl and put it aside, saying woodenly, "I just feel so choked up that I can't breathe."

Wujina looked at her man with some concern. She knew what happened.
The news of the Shuofang massacre spread to the four states of Hetao in the shortest possible time. This incident was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone. Every naturalized Mongolian tribe immediately sent people to the village where the incident occurred.
Then the news spread to naturalized Mongolian tribes in other regions at a faster speed, and many naturalized Mongolian tribes around Xuanfu also received the news and came to check it out.

This was not possible without the Royal Group's Propaganda Department's instigation. The person in charge of the Royal Group's Propaganda Department in the Hetao region immediately judged that this matter was extremely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and mobilized all propaganda resources. Otherwise, with the speed of information dissemination in this era, it would not be possible to spread it to such a large area in such a short time.
Everyone who visited the massacre site was greatly shocked, and everyone's heart seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud.
Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that the slaughter among the same ethnic group would be so cruel. The words "thief", "burglar" and "traitor" on the yurt hurt everyone's heart.
Everyone present was surrounded by many negative emotions - anger, sadness, pain, confusion.
Most of the Mongols were once captives of the Ming army. Only a few of them had undergone ideological transformation. Many Mongols had not yet changed their minds psychologically and regarded themselves as orphans abandoned by their mother tribe. Now their mother tribe was killing them, which made them feel extremely wronged, helpless, confused, painful and lost... Niu Zhongxia was the first person to discover the massacre and also participated in the subsequent collection and burial of the bodies. He was hit even harder, which made him unable to recover for many days. He wanted to do something but didn't know what he could do, so he fell into endless ideological friction...

"Tuzhigen, you have to cheer up. Our family can't do without you!" Wujina said in a sad voice.

"Ujina, don't worry! I will be able to cheer up soon," Niu Zhongxia said immediately.

Wujina nodded, but there was still a lot of worry in her eyes.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Brother Niu! Brother Niu Zhongxia, is Brother Niu Zhongxia home?"

"I'm at home! Come in!" Niu Zhongxia answered with energy. He had already figured out who was calling him from the voice. It was a propagandist named Liu Xin, who often brought new news to the village.

"Brother Niu!" A young man dressed in Han Chinese clothes came in, looking very energetic and capable. "How have you been lately?"

"Not bad." Niu Zhongxia said, and then signaled Wujina to bring a stool for Liu Xin.

"I also know about what happened recently, and I am very angry. I came here today to bring you good news." Liu Xin continued after sitting down.

"What good news?" Niu Zhongxia asked curiously.

As a propagandist, Liu Xin's job is to pass on the news to each village, while Niu Zhongxia, as the village chief, has the obligation to pass on the news to the villagers.
"Our story has spread to the capital!"

Liu Xin's first words attracted all of Niu Zhongxia's attention, and even Wu Rina pricked up her ears.
"It has spread to...to the capital?" Niu Zhongxia murmured.

"Not only has the news spread to the capital, even His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent have been alarmed!" Liu Xin said, slapping his thigh.

Niu Zhongxia's breathing became rapid unconsciously. This news shocked him greatly. He had learned some geography knowledge during his ideological transformation in Tangshan. He knew how big the Ming Dynasty was. He also knew that they were only a small part of the Ming Dynasty. However, what happened here alarmed the supreme ruler of the empire, which made him excited.
"Then what?" Niu Zhongxia grabbed Liu Xin's arm and asked anxiously.

"Brother Niu, you are too strong, you hurt me." Liu Xin cried out in pain.

"Sorry, sorry, please continue speaking." Niu Zhongxia quickly let go of Liu Xin.

"His Majesty the Emperor Zhengde and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent attached great importance to this matter and convened the cabinet ministers to discuss it. His Majesty the Emperor Zhengde even angrily denounced the Mongolian Khans Barsborot and Daiqin who committed this tragedy, believing that they were unforgivable sinners," Liu Xin continued.

Niu Zhongxia listened to Liu Xin's news with great thirst, like a person who had been without water in the desert for many days. He then tried his best to imagine the scene of the Emperor angrily scolding the Mongolian Khan.
"Emperor Zhengde even issued an imperial decree to offer a reward and arrest warrant for these two criminals. The imperial decree said that no matter how far they had to go, they must be caught and their heads used as a memorial to their fellow Ming compatriots who died."
