First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 80

As the sun, moon and bright flags danced, the [-] iron cavalry went straight out of the camp and headed north. The rest of the troops changed their formations and set off.

Only then did Zhu Biao step down from the high platform, and Li Shanchang led the six officials to bow to Zhu Biao and said, "May Your Highness triumph and restore Yanyun's homeland for my Daming!"

Zhu Biao also said politely to the civil servants, and then the three brothers of the Zhu family couldn't help but jump out. The three boys looked at their elder brother in gold armor with admiration. No, my voice is hoarse.

Zhu Biao smiled and patted the heads of his younger brothers and said, "Second and third, you two should learn from Uncle Xu, and don't be angry. You behave well, and my brother will come back and send you two good horses!"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan both nodded quickly. The place where the eldest brother went is not short of good horses. Uncle Xu brought back a lot of horses in the last expedition. Unfortunately, none of the horses they got were the best horses. The eldest brother has always been generous to them. Bring them the best.

Zhu Biao saw that Xu Da led the honorable generals over, looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Your Highness is here to make an immortal career, I wish Your Highness a great success!"

Zhu Biao said sternly: "The predecessors planted the trees and the later generations enjoyed the shade, and this palace would like to thank Uncle Xu."

Xu Da said with a straight face, "That's all the work of Your Majesty, I'm just a warrior who leads troops."

After talking to Xu Da for a while, Zhu Biao saw Xu Da glance at Zhu Di next to him, and Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I will take the fourth child with me, Uncle Xu don't have to worry."

Then Zhu Biao led Zhu Di onto the horse, and bowed to the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty on the side, and set off under the escort of [-] soldiers.

The army moves quite slowly, especially the logistics and baggage units, which carry siege equipment.

20 people came out in a mighty force, smoke and dust were everywhere along the way, and birds and beasts were scattered everywhere they passed.

It is not easy to lead so many people. Fortunately, he does not have to take care of the soldiers. Otherwise, how many people can he watch over 20 people?

Zhu Biao is the commander of the generals, and they are responsible for the rest. Zhu Biao sent Zhu Di to look at the grain and forage in the rear, and ordered the army to forbid noise and everything to be done by the commander.

The soldiers and horses went ahead without moving food and grass. The army only carried a month's food and grass, and the rest had already been transported to Shuntian Prefecture. If something happened to this month's food and grass, the soldiers below would be hungry, and I'm afraid they would loot along the way. All villages and towns.

Zhu Biao was sitting in the middle of the town and was guarded by [-] pro-militaries. Zhu Biao did not bring a carriage, and he could only ride horses along the way. However, he has been riding a lot recently, and the flesh on the inner thighs is already very strong.

After half a day of marching, Zhu Biao took the water bag handed over by Liu Jin, took a sip, and said, "It's almost done, instruct the flag-bearer, order the whole army to bury the pot and make rice, and rest for an hour."

After Liu Jin agreed to the promise, he immediately ordered Zhu Biao's meaning to go down, and after walking for another three quarters of an hour, the army stopped. There was no way, there were too many people.

The pro-military on the side immediately began to set up a military tent. After Zhu Biao walked in, more than a dozen generals walked in after a while, and after meeting Zhu Biao, they found a seat and sat down.

Zhu Biao asked, "What happened to the ban on noise in the military?"

The Marquis of Lu'an, Wang Zhi, returned: "The military order has been issued, no noise is allowed during the march, and those who disturb the heart of the army by making noise for no reason will be whipped fifty!"

Zhu Biao nodded. It was a big sin to make noise in the ancient army, especially when marching and fighting. These soldiers had no culture, and it was easy to listen to rumors.

If you leave it alone, tomorrow it will be rumored that there are hundreds of women in the tent of the Crown Prince, eating, drinking and having fun every night...

After a while, food will be served, including steamed buns, porridge, and jerky. This is the food of the generals. As for ordinary soldiers, before marching, they will carry a long cloth bag with them, which is filled with rice, wheat, and sorghum. Wait for food.When the fire starts, each person takes out a handful, cooks a pot and eats it together.

This can be eaten for about four or five days, and then Huotouying will make perforated biscuits that are easy to carry.That is, after the round cake is cooked, poke a small hole in the middle and string it with a string, and then you can march on your back.

Generally, veterans will keep some dried pickles for themselves, and some vinegar cloth, that is, the cloth is repeatedly soaked in vinegar and salt, and then dried, and then the "vinegar cloth" can be obtained, and the front-line sergeants will go out.Just bring a piece of this cloth with you when you eat.Cut out a piece and cook it together with the rations.You can eat food with vinegar and salt.

And if you are lucky and encounter a large amount of wild vegetables or animals, you can improve your meals.If there is enough food and forage in the army for half a month, the generals will order a good meal, which can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Biao personally led the people around again to see how the horses were eating.

Then, when the time came together, the army continued to move forward, and it was only when the sky was dark that they ordered to set up camp on the spot.

Many of the soldiers now have night blindness, and they are prone to accidents when marching at night.

At night, Zhu Biao arranged for Lan Yu to inspect, and then called Zhu Di to have a meal together. After the meal, Liu Jin didn't know where to get the dim sum. The brothers talked for a while and then fell asleep together. Quan Xu Leading people on duty outside the tent.

The army marched forward as it is today, leaving at dawn, resting for an hour at noon, and resting as soon as it was dark.

Among them, many soldiers violated the precepts, or made noise, fights, or stole money. Among them, the most serious one was a team of scouts who encountered a couple who went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. They uttered foul language and were reprimanded by their husbands. He actually murdered his wife!

The scouts who were reported back to the camp by the other two teams found that they knew that they had violated the military regulations and would run away. After being shot and killed, they were captured and escorted back to the camp.

This made Zhu Biao annoyed, but the dead could not be resurrected, so he had to order people to collect the remains of the couple, and then send people to a nearby village to inquire.

Those who committed crimes knew that there was a dead end, but their faces were calm, and their eyes were numb and happy.

After a while, the generals were all in the tent, and Chang Yuchun said, "These dogs violated the military prohibition, please order the general to be beheaded to show the public!"

When Guangde Houhua entered the tent, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, and those few were his subordinates.

Zhu Biao said with a cold expression: "They are naturally dead ends. General Hua's rule is not strict, and he will lead ten military sticks in a while!"

Hua Gao breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the prince would use him to stand out!

After a while, Quan Xu came in and reported, "Back to General, the deceased was a citizen of Liuli Village, and the village elders have been asked to verify it here."

Zhu Biao sighed and said, "Please invite the village elders to the big tent!"

After a while, a few young people walked in with an old man supported, all of them were terrified, and they even felt a little fluttering when they walked.
