My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 673 Chang Wei’s Son

After the great victory in Peshawar, Timur's [-]-strong army returned in disastrous defeat, and even Ulugh Beg was captured by Chang Wei.

When the good news reached Tieguan City, Zhu Zhanhe was also overjoyed. He immediately asked people to prepare wine and meat, and personally escorted him out of the city to Peshawar City to reward the three armies!

Although Zhu Gaoxu had said that Zhu Zhanhe would not be allowed to leave the city, that was before the war. Now the outcome of the war has been determined. The opponent's [-] troops have been wiped out. Even Uluru Bo has become a prisoner of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, Zhu Zhanhe has nothing to do with it. Something to worry about.

After leaving Tieguan City, we entered the Khyber Pass. The total length of this pass is about a hundred miles. There is a river passing through the pass, and on both sides of the pass, there are some military fortresses built by Zhu Gaoxu before. Guancheng formed a solid line of defense.

Soon Zhu Zhanhe arrived in Peshawar City. Zhu Gaoxu was very happy to see his son. In addition, he won another battle, so he ordered a three-day congratulations, and the entire Peshawar City was plunged into joy.

"Father, after this battle, Shaharul shouldn't dare to send any more troops, right?"

After the celebration banquet, Zhu Zhanhe specifically approached Zhu Gaoxu and asked.

"A hundred thousand troops were defeated. Except for those who died in battle and were captured, it is estimated that less than half of them could escape. Even the Ming Dynasty could not bear such a huge loss, let alone Shaharul, let alone his eldest son Uluru. The uncle is still in our hands, so let’s make him use the rat weapon as a weapon.”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a proud smile.

In this battle, he defeated more with less and fought very beautifully. For at least ten years, the Timur Empire would not be able to look eastward. After all, the western part of the Timur Empire was not peaceful, and they could not push all their troops to the east.

"Great, Ulugh Beg is in our hands. Shaharul should send someone to negotiate soon, and then we can kill them again!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and said, not only was this battle a happy one, but the subsequent harvest was also great. It is estimated that after this battle, Timur will accelerate his decline, and even some forces in the west may come into contact with the big man.

"Yes, I have already planned it. If Shaharul wants to redeem Ulugh Beg, it will have to be exchanged by Kabul. Otherwise, he will never see his son again in his life!"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled proudly again.

Kabul is an important town northwest of Peshawar, and it was also the direction of expansion in Zhu Gaoxu's original plan. But now that Ulugh Beg has been captured, there is no need to use weapons anymore, and he can just exchange hostages.

"Where is that Ulugh Beg? I want to see him?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously. Regarding this Ulugh beg, Zhu Zhanhe had heard of his name in history. He was not only a great astronomer, but also a mathematician, poet, and philosopher. In later generations, there were people on the moon. A crater is named after him.

But unfortunately, it seems that most knowledgeable people are not good rulers. This was true for Li Yu and Zhao Ji in the history of the Central Plains, and the same was true for Ulugh Beg. He encountered a rebellion within two years of his reign, and even his hometown of Samarkand was destroyed. He was occupied by others and later died in internal fighting in the palace. During his reign, the Timur Empire was also in rapid decline.

"I put him under house arrest in a courtyard in the city and asked Chang Wei to send heavy troops to guard him. If you want to see him, let Chang Wei take you there!"

Zhu Gaoxu replied casually.

When Ulugh Bo was first captured, Zhu Gaoxu also visited him and sent his own royal doctor to treat Ulugh Bo's injuries. After all, his life was still very valuable.

Afterwards, the father and son chatted some more about home affairs, and then Zhu Zhanhe said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Zhu Zhanhe found Chang Wei.When Chang Wei saw Zhu Zhanhe, he immediately smiled and said: "Prince, it's such a coincidence that you came here. I was planning to meet you for a drink and chat. How is Sining? How is Qi Ming?"

In fact, the two had already met at the celebration banquet yesterday, but there were too many people at that time, so it was not convenient for them to talk about family matters. So now as soon as they met, Chang Wei immediately asked about his sister and nephew.

"Sining and the child are doing well. She even made some clothes for you and asked me to bring them over for her. I'll have them delivered to you later!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed.

He and Chang Wei had also been apart for many years. When they saw each other again, they found that he had changed a lot. Not only had he grown a beard and looked more powerful, but the years of fighting had also given him a strong iron-blooded smell. , you can imagine how terrifying he would be if he put on armor and charged on the battlefield!
Hearing that his sister was the princess, she still made clothes for herself. The softest part of Chang Wei's heart was also touched. In order to revitalize his family, he followed Zhu Gaoxu in various battles over the years, and he narrowly escaped death several times. , but at least there is still a close sister who is thinking about him.

Soon Chang Wei took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and then asked people to prepare wine and food. He and Zhu Zhanhe sat opposite each other, chatting while drinking.

Zhu Zhanhe asked about Chang Wei's situation over the years. Although Chang Wei and Zhu Zhanhe had maintained correspondence with each other, there were some things that were not convenient to say in letters.

Chang Wei briefly talked about his experiences over the years, and then asked in detail about Chang Sining and his aunt's family. Zhu Zhanhe also answered all questions and told everything the other party wanted to know.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly changed the subject and said, "Brother Chang, when I came here this time, Sining asked me something!"

"What's wrong with Sining?"

Chang Wei asked immediately. For him, his sister's affairs are his own.

"Sining, tell me, let me advise you to get married as soon as possible, so that the Chang family can flourish as soon as possible. Otherwise, who will you leave your position as Duke of the Kingdom to in the future?"

Zhu Zhanhe said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Chang Wei never married a wife. At that time, the Chang family was in decline and he could not find any good family that matched his family. He was also stubborn and always wanted to revitalize his family first before starting a family.

Now Chang Wei finally made a career in the Han Dynasty and was named Duke of Yan by Zhu Gaoxu. To put it bluntly, if Chang Wei died in battle one day, there would be no one to inherit the position of Duke.

"I...I already have a son. You and Sining should have met, right?"

Chang Wei blushed, but still asked.

He does have a son. Although he is not officially married, as a man and the Duke of the Han Dynasty, he certainly has no shortage of women around him. One of his concubines even gave birth to a son for him. He is now only two years old and named For regular business.

"Sining and I have met him. The child is pretty good. Sining might not mind, but do you think you can handle it with your aunt?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked back.

Chang Wei liked Hu Ji. The concubines around him included Persian women, Dashi women, and even Turkic women. The one who gave birth to his son was a Persian woman, so Chang Ye was a mixed race with blue eyes, and The appearance of the Han people in the Central Plains is very different.
