Chapter 1013: Leaving Beijing and taking a boat
Yun Xi was stunned for a while. After a while, he nodded slowly: "I know, I will forward this letter to Yang Feng." ”
"Brother Xie Huang." Yun Lan saluted again and turned to leave. Yun Xi stood in place, not knowing what to think, before continuing to Yanxi Palace.
The morning of the second day was spent almost entirely in chickens, flying and dogs. Yun Xi traveled a few days in advance, and the palace was fine, but there were too many things to prepare for the yamen, and they were not completely prepared yesterday, so they could only do it at dawn.
Many people were still sleeping, but they heard a sound outside the door, and secretly looked through the crack in the door to realize that it was the messenger who was cleaning the street, and some people were sprinkling water on both sides of the road to prevent dust from being raised. The people cursed that they didn't do it when they should have done it, and they did it blindly when they shouldn't, and they went back to sleep.
Yun Xi went to the court too early, came back to bid farewell to Xi Yao and others, and ordered the guards to escort Miao Jin and Yun Zhi to the ship first, and he went to the city gate to hold the emperor's patrol ceremony.
When the ceremony was held, Yun Xi looked at the expressionless faces below, and then looked at the people who were watching the excitement outside the fence, and suddenly thought of something in his heart.
After the ceremony was over, Yun Xi said a few more words and turned around and got on the boat in the salute of the hundred officials, standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the civil and military officials who were still seeing him off at the dock and the people of the capital who were watching the excitement, and suddenly shouted: "Yang Feng." ”
"Your Majesty." Yang Feng hurriedly agreed.
"How many of these officials and people do you say understand the difficulties of this expedition?" Yoon-hee asked.
"It's hard to say." Yang Feng thought about it and felt that it was difficult to measure.
"In my opinion, there will not be a few officials, but as for the people, there may be more." Yun Xi looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers of the capital guard loaded on the ship next to him.
"The officials all think that the Ming Dynasty is so strong that it will never lose to a barbarian country in the west, although it is decent to prepare soldiers, horses, money and food, but even the military officials are a little contemptuous, thinking that Timur's thousands of miles of labor expedition is to send him to death."
"They don't want to think about it, when the Song Dynasty was established at the beginning of the two Northern Expeditions were defeated by the Khitans, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were both very strong when their countries were very strong, but they did not defeat the Goguryeo people, the Ming Dynasty was undefeated in the past, and there were both soldiers and soldiers who were fortunate to be lucky, how could they despise a country that was very powerful in the West?"
"On the contrary, the common people, because of the story of the Mongol destruction of the Song Dynasty, and some operas exaggerated Timur's achievements, so they were worried."
Yun Xi was very confident in defeating Timur at first, but as time went on, his confidence became less so. If you make an analogy, it's like a top student getting nervous before an exam. In addition, Timur sent troops much earlier than expected, which was equivalent to arbitrarily advancing the examination time, which made him even more nervous.
"Your Majesty said yes." Yang Feng said. He was very nervous when he learned of his appointment yesterday, not only worried about losing the battle, but even afraid that the upper guard would lose too much in his own hands.
"But Your Majesty, even if Timur is very strong in the West, the minister has also checked the affairs of Samarkand, and knows that the national strength of those countries he has fought in the West is far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will win this battle." Yang Feng hurriedly said again.
"If the time is not advanced, I don't think Timur can win, but the time is so advanced, if he really captures Yiwu, how can it be good." Although he has not yet received the document that Shang Bing has decided to hold the city, he knows from his childhood that he will never be able to withdraw, and once the city is broken, he will either be martyred or captured. Neither of these results was acceptable to him. This has become his latest worry.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has his own heavenly appearance, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much." Yang Feng could only comfort.
"I hope so." Yun Xi can only say this.
After saying this, Yun Xi put down his worry about Shang Bing's capture, and talked to Yang Feng about his duties. "Yang Feng, you are commanding the upper guard, but don't worry about it in your heart. Don't worry about losing too much and making me unhappy with you. What is the army used for, isn't it just for fighting! Especially an elite division like Shangzhiwei is an army that is used at the most critical time. ”
"So the battles fought by the upper guards are not necessarily hard battles, but the hard battles must be fought by the upper guards! Since it is a tough battle, the losses will not be small. You don't have to worry about losses, you can't fight if you worry about losses! If you all think like this, in the end, the battle formation of the upper straight guard will become unable to fight. How useful is an army that cannot fight, but can only be used as a guard of honor, to me? ”
"You don't have to worry about losing power, either. After this battle against Samarkand, there will be no major battles for the next few years, and I can slowly get the generals to retrain them. ”
"So you lead your troops out this time, don't think about winning without losing too many troops! In the face of such a strong enemy as Timur, it is absolutely necessary not to win first and then fight, but to fight first and then win! ”
How could Yang Feng's worries not be known? Even if I didn't expect it at first, I could guess it when I saw his expression after today's gathering, so I took the initiative to speak at this time.
Yang Feng was uplifted on the surface when he heard this, but he was still frowning in his heart. He is also a direct guard, although this time the guard he came from did not dispatch, but there are many people who are familiar with other guards, if someone dies, he is still not easy to do.
Yun Xi didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that his words could solve his worries. He also discussed with him the situation in the northwest.
But after saying a few words, suddenly the wind on the river was stronger, and the waves were much higher, and the clouds in the sky seemed to have the meaning of rain. Wang Xi hurriedly walked over and persuaded: "Official, Lord Yang, the ship will not stop until Yangzhou, let's avoid it in the cabin first." ”
"Your Majesty, please return to the cabin to take shelter from the rain." Yang Feng also said.
"Then I'll go back to the cabin to shelter from the rain." Yun Xi agreed, and left the deck with the others and walked into the cabin.
As soon as they walked in, there was a loud noise outside, and the rain crackled and dripped on the deck, and a few drops fell near the hatch of the ship and splashed on Yunxi.
"Thanks to you, Wang Xi, otherwise I would have been drenched in the rain." Yun Xi touched the rain on his hand and smiled.
"This is the official family's own natural appearance, how can it be the credit of the slave." Wang Xi also replied with a smile.
After a few jokes, Yang Feng saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a little seasick, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to rest in the cabin." ”
Of course, Yun Xi would not be discouraged, and said with a smile: "Since Yang Qing is seasick, let's go back and rest." However, Yang Qing will have to adapt well in the future, and there will be more when he will take the boat in the future. ”
Yang Feng weighed this sentence in his heart, and then he was about to bow and leave. But Yunxi seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to him, "I have a letter for you." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his waist and handed it to him. &1t;/nett>
