When Zhu Pangpang heard that Xia Yuanji didn't even take a break, he went straight back to work.

Can't help but sigh with emotion.

"It would be great if every minister of the household department after my Ming Dynasty was like this!"

At the end of Yongle's 15th year.

As the New Year approached, a shocking catastrophe stunned everyone.

Withholding public funds for the construction of the Forbidden City in Beiping and embezzling items brought back by the imperial court from overseas.

More than 500 officials were arrested for large and small matters.

Among them, the two servants with the highest official positions are the two ministers of the household department, and the youngest is just an ordinary transportation official.

Announced by the court.

The amount involved this time was as high as 150 million taels of silver.

When the old man who was fighting with the Oirats in the north received the final report, he threw a lot of things in anger.Called and led to put on new horses, and beat up the Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu, the commander of the [-] Battalion who was in full swing with the Oirats.

Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han: ...

Then the old man ordered.

The first offender flayed his skin and filled it with grass, and confiscated all his family property. The main male members of his family were executed, and the female rolls were sent to the Jiaofang Division as slaves.

The rest are lighter.

The offender was sentenced to Ling Chi, all his property was confiscated, the women's papers were sent to the Jiaofang Division, and all men, old or young, were exiled to Nuergan City.

After the court statistics.

More than 120 people were skinned and filled with grass, and the rest were all executed by Ling Chi.

The main beheaded males amounted to nearly a thousand.

There were more than 3000 women who were enslaved in the Jiaofang Division, and nearly 5000 were exiled to the Nuer Gandu Division.

Although this big cleanup did not completely clean up the imperial court, it also cleaned up most of the moths and severely frightened others.

Now all officials are conscientious in their work, for fear that they will be caught by Jin Yiwei if they are not careful.

In the bustling New Year, just like this, a bloody incident has ruined the lively atmosphere at all.

The sixth day of February in the 16th year of Yongle.

After two months of trekking, Zhu Zhangui finally brought his troops to the Bell Lake defense line.

"call!"

A white mist spouted from his mouth, Zhu Zhangui took off the sunglasses he was wearing on his face, wiped his frozen face, wiped the hoarfrost on his eyebrows and the growing beard, and took out the binoculars to observe the surrounding situation.

In this season in the south, the ice and snow have already begun to melt, but in this cold northeast, the icy winter has just reached its peak.

Exhaled here, the saliva just left the mouth, it froze into ice beads and fell to the ground.

When going to the toilet, I need to take a stick and knock on it while making it convenient.

The small ones are better, but the big ones are uncomfortable.

This made Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but think of a cross talk between Mr. Guo and Mr. Yu.

In the Northeast season of this era, as the two teachers said, paper is not very useful, and sticks are the most convenient.

"Have you checked out the situation at Alutai?"

After observing the environment, seeing that the surroundings were all white, and nothing could be seen, Zhu Zhangui took back the binoculars and put the sunglasses on his eyes again.

Wearing sunglasses is not to look cool, but to prevent snow blindness.

Not only Zhu Zhangui, but the guards under him include all soldiers, and everyone has a sunglasses.

Hu Yu, who was wearing a toad mirror, shook his head.

"Three waves of people have been sent out, and there has been no reply until now, but they have only returned in the past two days."

"When they left, I told them that no matter how far the investigation went, they had to come back and report after three days."

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"Notice to go down and set up camp on the spot, and tell the craftsmen to build a defensive camp according to the blueprint I gave them."

"The cold weather makes everyone freeze up, and the activities are warmer, and I tell everyone to work in the future, and there will be meat for every three meals a day."

"And notify the east side, let them come over and assemble quickly, and press it if they are too lazy, and delay the military plane and deal with it."

"Nu'er Gandusi's group Jing Nan also let them bring them here, the opportunity for these sinners to redeem their sins has come!"

Chapter 234: Arutai: Go in quietly, don't shoot anyone.

"I really don't know if there is something wrong with my brain, and I came to this ghost place with you!"

Ursa looked at the direction of the Daming border against the oncoming snowflakes, and couldn't help but complain to Alutai.

Yinma River.

The Tatar Legion was stepping on the slippery ice, moving forward bit by bit.

The grassland has been hit by white disasters this year, and the deepest part of the snow has already passed a person's neck.

In the past, the herdsmen would squat in the tents, eat the little food left with their wives and children in their arms, wait for the cold winter to pass, and pray that too many cattle and sheep would not be frozen to death.

The Tatars had just returned to the grassland at Arutai, and heavy snow fell before they turned around.

Many people suggest that they wait until next spring or when the heavy snow stops before starting.

But it was rejected by Alutai.

In the words of Alutai, this is a good time to attack.

If you want to rest, Mingren will definitely think the same way, and the defense will definitely be reduced to the minimum.

When the time comes, we will pass quietly, and we can capture Wufang City without any effort.

The main force of the Ming army will also receive the news later, and we have more time to adjust.

When the ice and snow melt in the coming year, the war in the north is over, and when the main force of the Ming army rushes over, the road will surely become muddy.

The cannons of the Ming army were heavy and heavy, and they couldn't move fast on such a muddy road.With Zhu Di's urgency, he would definitely order to abandon the heavy artillery and move forward with only small artillery.

The Ming army has lost its heavy artillery, and the threat to us will be greatly reduced.

Daming without heavy artillery is like a tiger without teeth, falling down with one blow.

As long as you defeat the main force of the Ming Dynasty, you will have as much land, property, food, slaves, and women as you want.

Finally, Alutai made a conclusion.

Eat a little bit of hardship now, and enjoy happiness in the future.

Enjoying blessings in front of you will suffer hardships in the future.

Alutai's words are still very contagious. After listening to his analysis and flickering, the subordinates all feel that it is very correct.

They had experienced the heavy artillery of the Ming army before, but they didn't want to try it again, so they followed Alutai in a daze, and with a beautiful imagination of the future, they slowly approached Nuer Gandusi go.

A few miles away from the Tatar marching team, a man in a white cloak with hoarfrost on his eyebrows and beard was observing the Arutai Army with a telescope.

"Damn, it came so fast!"

This is a sentry from the guard battalion, who was sent out two days ago.

According to the agreement, after sunset on the third day, no matter how far you go, you will return on the fourth day.

It has been two days since he came out, and he has not found any clues, so the man is thinking about going back.

As a result, he simply had lunch when the enemy came.

Looking at the dark crowd in the distance, the man sniffed, retracted the telescope and moved back bit by bit.

Although he was still a little far away from the Tatars here, he couldn't guarantee that there were no Tatar spies like him around, so he had to be careful if he could.

Dragging his own gear, he struggled for three or four miles in the snow before the man loaded the sled, and with a sudden force on his hand, he slid down a slope.

"what!"

"That arrives so fast!"

Listening to the spies' report, Zhu Zhangui frowned deeply as he looked at the defensive camp that had just started construction.

He and the old man didn't expect that Alutai was so determined to kill Daming that he also went forward in the snow.

He and the old man bet on the position of Alutai's attack, but ignored Alutai's urgency.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise, when the spring comes, I am afraid that there will be a bloody fight with Alutai Nuer Gandusi.

Returning to the tent with his generals, Zhu Zhangui opened the map and searched quickly.

Soon he judged Alutai's offensive line.

The vast white snow, even experienced old herdsmen, will lose their way.

Alutai probably planned to follow the Yinma River and directly enter the Ming territory.

Staring at the Yinma River on the map, Zhu Zhangui frowned and thought for a while, then slapped the table hard.

"Fuck it!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Choibalsan area.

On the frozen ice, the Tatar army marched slowly under the leadership of Alutai.

Perhaps it was because Ming people didn't expect them to attack at this time, and they didn't send out sentries.

The one or two sent out just walked along the river and returned to report after confirming that there were no enemies.

"Marshal Ursa, after crossing Mount Choibal, we will enter the territory of Ming Dynasty!"

Holding the fur-covered horse by the hand, Alutai took off his hat, shook off the snow on it, looked at Mount Choibal, which was faintly visible in the distance, and introduced Ursa who was following him.

Ursa was not interested in it at all.

Wrapped like a bear, Ursa wrung out the clear snot and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to know where this is now, and I'm not interested in it. I just want delicious food, warm Hot soup, a warm bed and a soft beauty, I don't want anything else!"

"Ha ha!"

Alutai chuckled, reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry my friend, when I win a city, I will first find you a warm room, delicious food, and beautiful beauties, so you can enjoy it!"

"Hahaha…"

There was a big laugh all around.

Ursa spread her hands, "I hope so, I've had enough of this horrible weather."

"This is the biggest snow I have ever seen in my life. I swear, I will never come here again. This place is simply my nightmare."

"My God, can you imagine using a stick to go to the bathroom?"

"If I had moved a little slower yesterday, the sprayed water would have frozen me!"

"Hahaha…"

Ursa's words caused another burst of laughter.

Choibal Mountain, a vast expanse of white snow on the plains.

Zhu Zhangui wore a white cloak, blending in with the surrounding environment.

Not only Zhu Zhangui, but also the [-] soldiers behind him were dressed in the same way.

Ambush this time.

He brought 4500 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and 5000 new troops.

Plus his guard battalion, exactly 1 people.

They came here last night.

No rest, busy all night, set up an ambush trap.

Zhu Zhangui's plan is very simple, which is to bury explosives on the ice surface where Alutai and others walk.
