Chapter 933 Search

It has been several days since the Tatars from Hami Guards arrived in the army.However, this was the first time Zhu Gaoxu saw this Concubine Tatar Khan with his own eyes.

If we follow the classification after the Yuan Dynasty, she was a Seme people, who were of various names in the Western Regions and the West, which was different from ordinary Mongolians. Because the Yuan Dynasty valued Seme people, it was not surprising that these people could gain a foothold on the grassland.

In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, she is a white man similar to the Central Asian Arab region. She has slightly curly dark brown hair, and her eyes are also black, but her facial skin is very different from everyone.

She looks young and has a plump figure, and is considered a good person among people with Semen.

However, in Zhu Gaoxu's knowledge, women of semen looked pretty good when they were young, but they grew up quickly.

The large group of people marched along the road, with vast plains on all sides. The grass and trees withered in the turn of autumn and winter, and the scenery seemed a bit old and decaying.

Zhu Gaoxu did not take the bus anymore. He would rather endure the dust on the road than stay in the carriage all day.

The Concubine Ashari of Tatar Khan was allowed to ride a horse next to Zhu Gaoxu. At first glance, her posture was a person who was used to riding horses and migrating all year round.

After not talking for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu occasionally observed her, thinking that she could fall asleep by just sitting on the back of a horse.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally turned around and said: Have Concubine Khan heard a word?

Asari immediately looked up at him: What?

He was sold and helped him count the money.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Asari shook his head with confusion: What is His Majesty the Emperor?

Zhu Gaoxu said: It is obvious that Alutai and Tuohuochi do not care about your life or Benyari's son.If you help them, you can only become a pawn or a victim.

Asari said: What exactly did they do?

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: I still want you to explain it.

He observed Asari's exotic eyes quietly, and she was also looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

I saw that her eyes were still confused and she did not dodge, and she looked very calm.

This made Zhu Gaoxu feel a little intuition in an instant. Could it be that she really didn't know?

The civil and military officials around Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, just listened to the conversation between the two.

After a while of silence around, Asari couldn't help but ask again: Why did His Majesty the Emperor know in advance that the Oirats would attack us?

Zhu Gaoxu refused to answer and said casually: We should exchange each other so that it is fair.

Asari looked a little irritated and showed anger, but she didn't dare to have an attack.She asked: When will His Majesty the Emperor let us return to the north?You promised Arutai.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Don’t be impatient, you will not be able to leave for a while.I am an honest person, but you first have some concealment and suspected deception. Should Concubine Khan understand what she is referring to?

Asari might have thought of her Mongolian prince, and immediately showed a look of worry and his spirit was waning eight points.

The two of them had an unpleasant first conversation, which ended.

At noon, the brigade stopped to rest.

Zhu Gaoxu then found Duan Xueheng, who was traveling with him, and instructed Duan Xueheng to accompany Asari to observe Asari's words and deeds, as well as his relationship with Tuohuochi.

If a person can pretend for a while, a little time may expose a lot of things.

In the afternoon, the army approached Jinan City, but the guards were dozens of miles north of Jinan and did not go to the capital city.

Zhu Gaoxu also told Gao Xianning that he would leave the team for the time being to Jinan City to contact local scholars and recount the feelings of fellow villagers and classmates.

Gao Xianning is very famous in Shandong and can be regarded as a famous scholar. He has made many friends in the local area, and as long as he goes back, he will definitely be constantly guests.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that Gao Xianning's home was in Jinan, so he joked that he would not return home if he was rich and noble, like walking in a night clothes in brocade.

However, the army did not stop here and continued to travel eastward and headed straight to Binzhou.

When Zhu Gaoxu thought of the character Tang Saier before, he determined his itinerary.

He knew that Tang Sai'er was from a county south of Binzhou, because he was busy with his life and came to Binzhou, Shandong.

The most impressive part of him was that there was a large statue next to the Yellow River Bridge, namely the statue of Tang Sai'er.

But now the Yellow River is not here, and in the south, no one knows Tang Sai'er.

Because Tang Sai'er became a hero who resisted the reactionary feudal rule in later generations, she had a high status.

However, the position determines the mentality. Now Zhu Gaoxu has become the largest feudal ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and of course he has no good impression of those who intend to destroy his rule.

There were too many prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu would not have visited a certain place on purpose. This time it was just because he remembered the place where Tang Sai'er lived and was nearby. On a whim, he wanted to see what the soil of the leader of the rebel army looked like.

The large group of people walked from the north of Jinan City for seven days before they arrived at Binzhou City.

But Zhu Gaoxu did not enter the city and led his army to continue to walk south for another ten miles. The forward scout discovered a lake, so Zhu Gaoxu ordered the army to be stationed on the east bank of the lake.

The vanguard general gave money to the villagers and requisitioned a village, and the soldiers surrounded the village to build a barracks.

After Zhu Gaoxu and others arrived at the military camp, he moved into the rammed earth tiled house in the village.

The bureaucrats of the Three Divisions of Jinan City and the Binzhou prefect were obviously very concerned about the emperor's men, but they did not dare to violate the imperial decree and come to reward the army without authorization.

Soon the Binzhou prefect led a group of officials to come to the central army with light and simple transportation, asking for an order to prepare food for the army.

However, Zhu Gaoxu refused. The army did not need the Shandong local government to provide military rations. After a while, everyone arrived at the beach, and the official ships from the south could replenish the army's grain. After that, they entered the territory of the governors and envoys in Peking, so there would be no shortage of supplies.

Zhu Gaoxu warned the prefect that he should immediately stop recruiting and bribery men under various pretexts, and that the government orders shall not be changed for three years.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu took his squad and an officer from Binzhou to leave the barracks and observe the surroundings along the dirt road.

Duan Xue hated her in the horse team and brought Ashari the Concubine Tatar Khan, and Zhu Gaoxu ignored them.

The dirt road is quite spacious and looks like it can be driven, but it is not covered with bricks and stones, and it is very dusty, and even the branches and leaves on the side of the road are covered with mud.

Zhu Gaoxu and others rode slowly on horseback. He saw that the villages on all sides were dilapidated and old, but from time to time, they could see white smoke surrounds and hear the sound of chickens and dogs, and everything was very quiet.

At least in the situation that Zhu Gaoxu saw with his own eyes this year, there was no sign of turbulent uprising in the local area.

Everyone wandered around until noon when they suddenly heard the sound of blowing and beating coming from nearby villages.

Zhu Gaoxu stopped and watched, and the civil servant Hou Hai beside him immediately said: Master, this is the musical instrument of the Taoist priest, and there is something funeral there.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, then looked back and said: Let’s prepare a gift, let’s go for lunch.

Hou Hai hurriedly advised: The saint is a body of tens of thousands of vehicles, and he is afraid that the common people will not receive well.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the martial arts uniform, then looked at Hou Hai's red robe and the green robe of Binzhou officials, and said: Then I will be Mr. Hong for another day, and Hou Zuo Envoy is a passing official, so he will go to ask for two tables of food and drink.

After hearing this, Hou Hai had to respond to the arrangement.

A group of more than a dozen people rode on horseback onto the path. When they approached the village, the Taoist priest's gongs and wind music became clearer. Even the Taoist priests chanted scriptures could be heard vaguely, but they couldn't understand what they were singing.

When Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and approached the place where he was doing funeral, he jumped off his war horse and walked over with his horse.

I saw that the yard was filled with old square tables inside and outside, and there were crying sounds coming from the yard.

White banners were hung on the bamboo pole outside the courtyard gate, and white and black letters were also pasted on the door frame.

The villagers looked sideways and looked at a group of people who were obviously the government.

After a while, the owner's family came out, and they all knelt at the door to thank him.

Perhaps Hou Hai gave a big gift, even if he was from the government, he would be kind to send gifts to the funeral.

Zhu Gaoxu said: People cannot be resurrected when they die, so the family will be mournful and follow the changes.

At this time, a middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground wearing mourning clothes and mourning could not help but burst into tears again.

The crowd walked into the yard and came to the mourning hall to bow and salute. Then the owner arranged two tables of seats in the yard, and everyone took the seat.

The yard was smoky, with smoke from burning incense, candles and paper money, as well as straw and ash from the cook outside to cook food.

The people around were looking here all the time, and people seemed to be talking about where the master came from as an official and a relative.With the Taoist priests' chanting and chanting, the place is in a noisy place.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw a table nearby looking at this place, he simply turned around and asked: Who is the person who died in this family?

Don’t you know?A man in gray cloth asked.

Zhu Gaoxu said: We are just passing by.

The man in gray cloth said: A white-haired man gave a black-haired man, miserable.The eldest son of the head of the family was in his forties. He was still working in the field all day yesterday. When it was dark, he went to the lake to wash the mud and drowned in the lake.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: It's really miserable.

At this time, the crying sounds in the mourning hall suddenly increased, and a woman's voice started to recite while crying.The content she read was much better than the Taoist scriptures, so Zhu Gaoxu paid attention to it.

The woman cried heartbrokenly, and the lyrics were very touching.

It is about the miserable years of the deceased for more than 40 years. He started working at a young age and had not had a good life. He gave his food to his younger brothers and sisters since childhood. After he became an adult, he worked daily, faced the loess and was responsible for labor service.

But Pity worked hard all day before he died, and there was no good meal.

It was all plain language, and Zhu Gaoxu felt that even the Tatar Asari understood it because her expression looked very depressed.

The Binzhou officials who were accompanying each other at the same table looked in fear and fear, as if he thought it might not be a good thing to let the emperor see the local people so miserable.

This has been the case for thousands of years.This was the case before and it won't end easily in the future.Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Binzhou officials calmly and said.

At this time, I suddenly remembered Hu Yi's political propositions and felt that Hu Yi's ideal of being an official was actually full of human sincerity.
