Zhu Qizhen had a good night's sleep, and got up early the next day, so the entire army followed his schedule, sorted out his things in advance, and prepared to leave for Juyong Pass.
The farther north went, the colder it became, and the wilderness left no shelter at all, so the soldiers in their modest uniforms occasionally felt a biting chill.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen, who had been nesting in the dragon bowl, couldn't notice this, and Wan Hong'er knelt next to him and carefully pounded his legs, so he was so comfortable that he hummed a small tune.
"Your Majesty, if you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while......," Wang Zhen said as he personally put two pieces of charcoal into the small stove, "There is still a distance from Juyong Pass ahead, and we have to walk!"
” "No need, stay in the carriage all the time, and your body will be tired."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand at Wan Hong'er as he spoke, and then stood up by himself, "I went out to take a breath, and I always felt a little stuffy." ” Zhu Qizhen said, then walked through the carriage slowly, then opened the curtain, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "It's very cold outside today!"
” "It's a little ......cold," Wang Zhen said, and then took a robe and put it on for Zhu Qizhen, "There was frost this morning, and the temperature dropped accordingly." ” "I don't know what happened to the capital......
Zhu Qizhen stomped his feet twice and sighed hot air into his hands, "Won't there be any problems with marching in this situation?"
” "It's all a bunch of poor soldiers, and it's not a bitter ...... for them," Wang Zhen smiled beside him, and said very easily, "You still can't fight and kill the enemy in the cold winter?"
Speaking of which, it's a good weather!
” "That's ......"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but shrink his neck when he looked at some of the soldiers next to the car, and some of them sneezed, so he felt some compassion, "Pass on my orders, reward each of these soldiers with a bowl of spirits, and let them warm their bodies." ” "Your Majesty, there are too many people, I can't get enough wine......
Wang Zhen looked at Zhu Qizhen's expression beside him, and he understood that this was his "Mingjun Mind" again, so he added, "Or give each of these servants next to Your Majesty a bowl of wine, although there are only a few hundred people, it can be regarded as a part of Your Majesty's heart." ” "Okay, then let's do it!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded, thinking that this suggestion was not bad, after all, he just couldn't see the people in front of him suffering, "Pass the order, this battalion of soldiers and horses from me will be rewarded with a bowl of liquor to warm up." ” "Yes."
Wang Zhen nodded with a smile beside him, "Presumably, these soldiers will be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness." ” Fan Zhong listened to the conversation between Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen on the side, and couldn't help frowning: When the army is marching and fighting, drinking alcohol is expressly forbidden, how can the emperor ......
But when Fan Zhong caught a glimpse of Zhu Qizhen's elated appearance after doing a "good deed", he couldn't say it anymore: a bowl of wine is a bowl of bar, and it can't delay anything anyway, so it is regarded as warming up the sergeants......
"Ji Ling, it's freezing outside, come up and talk to me for a while!"
Zhu Qizhen really regarded Ji Ling as a friend, as long as he was bored, he wanted to play with Ji Ling for a while.
For this kind of grace, Ji Ling couldn't say what it was like, so he could only get into the carriage according to his words, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ” "Actually, I called you up to ask you something......
Zhu Qizhen returned to the couch and looked like he was sitting upright, "I've been thinking about it for the past two days, our 200,000 troops are marching towards Datong like this, but what if the Mongolian Tartars know our movements, shift their positions, and avoid the edge?"
” Oh my god!
You've finally figured out this question!
Ji Ling was so excited that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and give Zhu Qizhen a good lesson in military theory, "Your Majesty, as long as the Tartars do not retreat, they will always find a way to engage us, and in the case of being inferior in numbers, they may set up ambushes or lure the enemy, and our task is to find them and rely on the strong formation strength and numerical superiority to fight a decisive battle with them, so as to complete their work in one battle......"
"Then should we divide our troops?"
After some thought, Zhu Qizhen asked, "Divide the army into several roads and march from all directions, so that those Mongol Tatars have nothing to hide......
"Don't divide your troops!"
Ji Ling didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to come to such a conclusion, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "Your Majesty, if we divide our troops rashly, we will definitely lose our advantage......
Wang Zhen saw that Zhu Qizhen actually consulted Ji Ling's opinion, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, this time he tried his best to persuade Zhu Qizhen to come out to conquer in person, in order to use this opportunity to display his military ambitions, how could he let this kid do a bad thing?
So Wang Zhen lowered his hands and said with a smile on the side, "Your Majesty, soldier, treacherous."
Although Ji Gongzi is reasonable, he also has to pay attention to the specific situation and analyze it specifically, and he can't plan a big battle in advance, Ji Gongzi, are you right?
” This......
Can I say no?
Otherwise, Zhao Kuo can talk on paper, and you, a dead eunuch, can just say a few words, and I really can't refute it, so Ji Ling nodded and said, "What did the prince say......
Makes sense......"
"Well, Mr. is indeed a ...... who knows how to fight" Zhu Qizhen glanced at Wang Zhen, and seemed to really appreciate his military ability, "Actually, I didn't expect that there were so many rules for marching and fighting at first, and when I saw these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I knew that this was not a simple matter......
I'll you, and you'll find out now if it's too late?
You don't know if you still have a personal expedition?
I took it......
Who knew that when Ji Ling was speechless for a while, Wang Zhen patted his chest on the side and said confidently, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be so negative, the so-called commander of the army, what he receives is just a person's heart, just now His Majesty also gave the soldiers under his command a bowl of spirits, how can they not be grateful in their hearts and fight bravely to kill the enemy?"
” "Well, that's what I think too......"
Zhu Qizhen nodded with a smile, but suddenly heard a loud noise outside, so he couldn't help frowning, "Sir, go see what's going on!"
” Wang Zhen couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that someone dared to splash in front of the emperor's car, so he bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will go and see ......."
"Forget it, I'll go and see ...... in person" Zhu Qizhen listened to the louder and louder voices, and actually stood up directly, and then looked at Ji Lingdao, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look together!"
