Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 453 Although the expedition to Yunnan is full of difficulties and dangers, the Wusa tribe is full of treasures!
Inside the Fengtian Hall, candlelight flickered gently in the breeze.

The jumping flames made slight crackling sounds from time to time, as if whispering the many thoughts in the palace.

The light and shadows swayed in patches between the carved beams and columns, casting shapes that were either bright or dark.

It is like a mysterious scroll painting, reflecting Zhu Yuanzhang's sad face.

He was seen wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme authority.

The dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread on the dragon robe flickered faintly in the candlelight, but it failed to highlight Zhu Yuanzhang's usual majestic demeanor.

At this moment, he looked worried, and after a heavy sigh, he slowly said: "This expedition to Yunnan was really not going smoothly!
The climate in Yunnan changes as quickly as a baby's face.

Just now the sky was clear and the sun was scorching.

The scorching sun baked the earth hot, and the soldiers' armors were so hot that they seemed to burn people.

But in a moment, there was a sudden downpour, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.

The whole world was shrouded in the rain, becoming wet and foggy.

The damp air penetrated into people's bones. Such a changeable climate bred countless diseases.

Our soldiers have been tortured terribly.

They all looked sickly and had sallow complexions.

Without the energy and spirit of the past, the fighting capacity has naturally been greatly affected."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his brows furrowed even deeper, his eyes filled with worry.

He stood up and walked to the palace door.

Looking at the slightly gloomy sky outside, it seemed as if one could see through the palace wall the tragic scene on the battlefield in Yunnan, thousands of miles away.

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Besides, the enemy is very familiar with the local terrain.

Just like a fox at the edge of its own den, very slippery.

In addition, Yunnan has endless mountains and hills, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, but in fact it is full of murderous intentions.

The mountains and forests are covered with thorns and the roads are rugged and difficult to travel on.

Our army often loses its way while marching.

However, the enemy was able to take advantage of this complex terrain and seize opportunities from time to time to set up numerous ambushes to attack our army and catch us off guard.

As a result, we have lost a lot of good men.

Every time I think of this, my heart aches as if it were stabbed with needles."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly as he spoke. The pain on his face became more and more obvious, and his furrowed brows looked like they could pinch a fly to death.

He turned around and slowly walked back to the dragon chair and sat down, falling into deep thought.

Seeing this, Zhu Gang, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stepped forward.

After bowing respectfully, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Then Zhu Gang asked cautiously: "Father, this battle is so difficult, is there any good news?

It can't be all bad things, right?
I think to myself that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must also have their own strengths. "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his frown finally relaxed a little, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

He raised his hand, motioning Zhu Gang to come closer and talk.

“There is something worth talking about!
For example, the 5 troops led by the Northern Governor Guo Ying, Hu Haiyang, Chen Huan and other generals set out from Yongning, Sichuan, and achieved some results.

These generals are the backbone of our Ming Dynasty, and they are decisive in fighting."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a little more approval. He raised his voice and said, "Especially Guo Ying, he was very good at conducting.

He is truly brave and fearless, and has the demeanor of a famous general from ancient times.

These 5 troops conquered cities along the way, and the difficulties and obstacles they encountered were like thorns blocking the road.

But they relied on their ruthlessness to overcome many difficulties and finally captured the Uzza tribe."

When Zhu Gang heard this, he immediately became interested and his eyes lit up.

He pretended to be curious and asked, "Father, is the Wusa tribe important?

I don't know much about that place, I hope you can tell me more about it."

Guo Ying heard this and hurriedly stepped forward.

He straightened his clothes, bowed, and said respectfully, "Your Highness Prince Jin, of course it's important!

The Wusa tribe is located at the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces. As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was a famous military stronghold.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Its scope covers Zhenxiong County in Yunnan, Weining County in Guizhou, and Hezhang County. There are treasures everywhere, just like a treasure house filled with gold, silver and treasures. "

Guo Ying cleared his throat and looked outside the palace, as if he could see the Usa tribe in the distance through the palace wall.

Then he said vividly: "Take Zhenxiong County for example!
The place is surrounded by mountains, and among the mountains there are endless mineral resources.

The trees on the mountain are lush and green, rustling in the breeze, as if guarding the treasures underground.

The mineral resources are even more abundant, with more than thirty kinds.

Anthracite is black and looks thick. It is a good material for keeping warm in winter and making utensils in workshops.

Phosphorus is also very useful. It is used as fertilizer in farming and in manufacturing things in the future.
There are also pyrite, coalbed methane, shale gas, copper, lead and zinc, limestone, marble, silica, etc., which are all extremely useful minerals.

The mountains and rivers that dominate the town are rolling and undulating.

It is as if the earth has hidden its most precious gifts deep underground, just waiting for us to discover them.”

Having said this, Guo Ying paused for a moment.

After looking at the crowd's reactions and seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he continued, "Look at Weining County in Guizhou, which is known as the 'Sunshine City'.

The sky in that place is as blue as a gem, and the sunshine is so abundant that it can illuminate the entire earth, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.

In addition, it is also the 'source of four rivers' in the southwest region because of its unique geographical features of low latitude, high altitude and plateau.

The solar and wind resources there are among the best in Guizhou.

Standing on the vast land of Weining, looking up, you can see white clouds floating in the blue sky.

The breeze blows over the windmills, which turn slowly like loyal guards, converting the wind force into power to help irrigate the farmland.

Although the Ming Dynasty's utilization of solar energy resources is still quite limited, the wind resources can be converted into power through windmills and used for farmland irrigation.

In this way, we can ensure the local food production and provide a solid backing for our military supply."

Guo Ying became more and more excited as he spoke, his face full of pride.

It seemed as if the Wusa tribe had become a part of the imperial court and was continuously supplying wealth to the Ming Dynasty.

Then he continued, “And Hezhang County is also surrounded by mountains.

The mountains are often shrouded in clouds and mist, adding a touch of mystery to the land.

That place is also rich in Chinese herbal medicine, coal and iron ore resources.”
