Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 323 Beacon Fire Liaodong (All)

"Liaodong..." Zhu Su looked at the map and frowned, feeling mixed with happiness and worry.

The good news is that Liaodong is considered to be within the pass after all, and there is no need to risk being chased and killed by the Mengyuan and Jurchen tribes all the way south across the Great Wall.You know, with the supplies that people like me have, I'm afraid they won't last for too long.

What is worrying is that the current Liaodong is still not a place that the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty can control... The land of Liaodong is now the territory of the Northern Yuan warlord Naha!

In Naha's hand, there are more than [-] people with armor, and they occupy half of the Liaodong Hushi Daming. They are the most difficult enemy of Daming today.If these people in my hands meet the troops sent by Naha, it will not be enough to give them teeth.

Naha Chu is not a stupid person, if the three cards of his three brothers fell into his hands, Da Ming might fall into a passive position and suffer huge losses.

"No wonder this place is so desolate." Dai Sigong stroked his beard lightly, shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Xi asked.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't know that the land of Liaodong...has always been poisoned by foreign races." Dai Sigong explained. "Since the beginning of the Five Dynasties, Liaodong has not been owned by the Han Dynasty. First it belongs to Liao, then it belongs to Jin, and then it belongs to Yuan."

"After the ravages of the former Yuan Dynasty, the people's livelihood has withered, and there is no one in ten of the people."

"Actually, not only in Liaodong, but also in the north of the Yangtze River, there are many desolate and uninhabited places. It's just that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty has moved many people to reclaim the northern land, and the displaced people in the past can also return to their homeland."

"But Liaodong is still... well." Dai Sigong shook his head.

Zhu Su was silent, thinking of the deserted village today.Judging from various traces, it is obvious that there used to be a village of the Han family, but the villagers died or dispersed, and eventually became deserted.

If you look at the leopard in the tube, you can know the desolation of Liaodong today.

"It's okay, Liaodong has been the land of my Han family since ancient times." Zhu Di clenched his fists. "One day, I, Da Ming, will definitely take this place back."

"Let's get back to the present." Zhu Su said.He turned his head to look at Shao Biao: "Captain Shao, since you have seen the map around here, maybe you still remember the route?"

"We only have a thousand people. It's better to find a way to hide Chen Cang, and it's important not to disturb Naha in Liaodong."

There are 20 troops in Naha's hands. Such a huge gap in combat power is no longer something that mere tactics can match.

"Return to Your Highness." Shao Biao cupped his fists. "If you want to avoid Naha from sending out his army, the best way is for us to only take the mountain road, and stay out day and night, avoiding the city."

"Shao can still remember the road. If he can hide the truth, he can lead the three Highnesses back to Shanhaiguan!"

Jian Shaobiao confessed that he remembered the road, and the people around the campfire looked at each other, all quite pleasantly surprised.Fortunately, there is another veteran Jin Yiwei who has been to Liaodong.

Zhu Su also secretly rejoiced that if Wu Maoxiang had sent Shaobiao, he wouldn't know how many detours he would have taken.This time, he owed a favor to Mao Xiang, commander of Jin Yiwei.

So in the daytime of the second day, this Ming army began to cast nets at sea to catch fish and smoke them into dry food.Seeing that those ships were no longer usable, Zhu Su ordered people to dismantle them and use them as fuel and production materials.He doesn't like the old warships like Left and Right now. The ability to resist wind and waves at sea is too low, and there is no watertight compartment.Offshore defense is barely sufficient once it is used. If it is used for artillery warfare, the designated ship will be destroyed with one shot.

Artillery battle is the mainstream of naval warfare in the future!

After returning to Daming, he still needs to find a way to get out the advanced Galen ship first... Time is running out, and Zhu Su feels more and more that he must not be trapped in Liaodong.

When it was dark, this Ming army began to advance under the leadership of Shao Biao.Because they were walking the mountain road at night, even with Zhang Heshaobiao and others clearing the way for them, Zhu Su and his party had a very difficult time walking.And because they went out to sea by boat before, the group didn't even have horses for transportation at this time.After a few days, several blisters appeared on the soles of the feet of the group.

When they hid in the mountains and forests during the day and began to rest, everyone collapsed on the ground, unable to even walk.

"I can't even take a step." Zhu Xi didn't care about the dirt on the mud floor, and collapsed on the ground without any image. "The soles of my feet hurt like needles... Fifth, if you can, let someone carry your second brother away."

"How can this be done?" Zhu Su flatly refused. "Second brother, you are the prince of Daming, and it is time to lead by example."

"Besides, the soldiers and soldiers have to break the road, and they are more tired than us. Even the old Rutou, an old man, and the third lady and the others are all walking on the soles of their feet."

"Second brother, you are strong and healthy, how can you let someone carry it on your back? This is out of style!"

"..." Zhu Yu was speechless for a moment, turned to look at Ru Taisu who was sitting on a bluestone, although his face was pale, he still didn't cry out.As for San Niangzi's group of women, they were even more busy helping the soldiers chop firewood and boil water.He could only puff up his pride and say, "You're right. I can't even compare to old men and women!"

However, he only persisted for less than a second, and the pride on his face immediately collapsed. He took off his boots and raised his big foot, saying, "But... this foot really hurts. Can you cure the fifth child, Doctor Dai?" Also use your wonderful hands to save this king!"

Dai Sigong was undoubtedly the busiest person in the team. With so many people marching in the jungle, bumps and bumps were inevitable.Most of the Taicangwei and Fuzhouwei people brought here were soldiers from the South, and many of them suffered from acclimatization.Zhu Su's body is weak, he accidentally sprained his foot just now, and now he is squatting down for Zhu Su to look at.Hearing Zhu Xi's call, he turned around and took a look, and said angrily, "His Royal Highness, please bear with it! You just had a few blisters..."

"It's nothing serious. After the old man finishes treating the Fifth Highness, I'll just help you break it."

"Then hurry up." Zhu Xi yelled, and the pain in the soles of his feet was unbearable, so he could only wait there with a slumped face.At this time, the third lady came over, saw the blisters on the soles of Zhu Xi's feet, and whispered: "If His Royal Highness Qin Wang doesn't dislike it, let the women help you break the blisters."

"When I was at home in the past, my father often had blisters, and it was all the women who popped them for him."

"Huh?" Zhu Xi shook his head, "You still understand this?"

"Okay, okay, I'll trouble you."

"Hey, fifth, did you find out?" Seeing that the third lady was helping Zhu Xi pick up the blisters, Zhu Di came over.

"Second brother has become more and more approachable these days... He has always valued his status the most. If his temperament was followed in the past, he would show his displeasure when white people talked to him. It is absolutely impossible to treat San Niangzi like this The women of the common people say the word 'trouble'."

"And now, he can be so amiable. Do you think there is no need to worry about the ending of the second brother?"

Zhu Di, he knew that in history, Zhu Xi had a bad ending because of his cruelty to his subordinates.

Zhu Su also nodded, he also found out.Perhaps because of the relationship of suffering with the soldiers along the way, Zhu Xi, who originally had an obvious disdainful attitude towards the soldiers and common people at the bottom, is now able to treat these people equally.

Instead of just holding on to his princely status.

"I hope so. In this way, the second brother can also have a happy ending." Looking at Zhu Xi who was grinning in pain from picking up blisters, Zhu Su also had expectations.This second elder brother really didn't say anything to his younger brother, he just treated him cruelly and tyrannically, and looked down on the servants and common people at the bottom.

If he could change his ending, it would be nothing if he was caught in an enemy situation this time.

"Your Highness, Captain Shao, who went to explore the way, is back." A dog came forward and reported to Zhu Su.
