Xiao Ruxun didn't know, at least not now, if he knew, it was estimated that he would immediately lead his troops back to Beijing City, have a bloody massacre on the side of the Qing monarch, and reshape the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know, so after settling everything, he left Beijing City with his own soldiers and the children of the Ma family.

Previously, he had sent fifty elite soldiers to escort Yang Zhao, Yang Caiyun and her children south to Nanjing, and his father's retirement report had also been approved, just waiting for the disposal of the family property in the capital, and he would leave to return to his hometown in Yan'an.

The eldest and second are also preparing to go back to the northwest, and the third and Yang Zhao and Yang Caiyun will go back to Nanjing together, and there will be a care on the way, and the family will be scattered again and again, and the next meeting will not know when it will be.

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Xiao Ruxun led the team to arrive at Tianjin Wei Port, looking at the huge fleet that was dense in the port and could not be seen at a glance, and his heart was full of pride.

This is the second time he has led the army to the expedition, and it is also the first time he has led the army as a commander, and it is also the first time since Xianzong Xiaozong has been a commander in the qualification of a military general, and he is fully responsible for the conquest of a country, which has attracted the attention of the world.

Xiao Ruxun still didn't take away any of the children of the martial arts family in the capital, they were already rotten to the roots, so don't follow him to harm his emerging forces like the rising sun.

"Ji Xin, this expedition is of great significance, we must win a complete victory, raise my reputation overseas, and deter all young people."

Shi Xing personally came to see him off, and at the port, he gave high hopes to Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "The last general will remember the words of the ministry, and he will definitely crusade against the rebellion, punish his chieftain, destroy his country, and wipe out the subordinates!" ”

Shi Xing nodded, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly: "I wish Xiao Pingyu a victory!" ”

Behind him, the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites clasped their fists and saluted together, shouting: "I wish Xiao Pingyu a victory!" ”

The send-off of such specifications did give Xiao Ruxun enough face and helped him support the scene, which made the generals behind Xiao Ruxun envious.

Xiao Ruxun returned the salute, then turned around, faced the generals, pulled out the sword in his waist, swung it forward, and shouted: "Go on the expedition!" ”

The rumbling war drums sounded loudly, under this kind of prestige, Xiao Ruxun said goodbye to Shi Xing, and boarded the giant ship with a group of generals, accompanied by the sound of deep and distant drums and horns, the huge fleet that could not be seen at a glance slowly moved forward, and Xiao Ruxun's fleet, which represented the strongest military strength of the Ming Dynasty, slowly went south, towards the unknowable road.

During this march, the coastline went all the way south to the land of the South Seas, so along the way, two-thirds of the way can see the land, and everyone will not feel so lonely, and there will be no things that cannot be seen at a glance, because considering the possibility of naval battles, Xiao Ruxun also ordered Chen Lan to arrange for the soldiers on the fleet to conduct naval combat exercises, and in order to familiarize the army with the ships, he also ordered the soldiers to learn to catch seafood.

Seafood is a good thing, especially now that there is no heavy metal pollution, seafood is very clean, the army goes south on the boat naturally has food to eat, but if there is some seafood to adjust the dispensing, it is also very meaningful for the boring marching road, Xiao Ruxun also likes to eat seafood, in Japan and North Korea have tried to find seafood to eat, and now the army is advancing on the sea, how can you not catch seafood?

It is also lucky, Xiao Ruxun's flagship put a lot of small boats, the soldiers took small boats, under the guidance of experienced sailors, fishing for seafood everywhere, Xiao Ruxun also caught a lot of seafood here, some sea fish, and some shellfish and crabs that Xiao Ruxun likes very much, in the era of no monosodium glutamate, the umami of these things is very rare.

The most common way to eat seafood is boiled or steamed, the original way to eat can best reflect the original taste of seafood, of course, you can also stir-fry, stew, but the army does not have such a good cook, Xiao Ruxun does not specialize, and the soldiers eat boiled seafood, and some good sea fish, Xiao Ruxun directly asked the old firehead army to take a knife and cut it into thin slices, dipped in vinegar and soy sauce to eat, you can also eat a very delicious taste.

A few children from the Ma family were a little surprised to see Xiao Ruxun eating raw fish, they didn't expect this when they lived in the northwest inland, but when Xiao Ruxun prepared some sashimi for them, they actually ate a different kind of delicious taste, and fell in love with raw seafood from then on.

After the fleet arrived in Zhejiang, it stayed in Zhejiang for three days, put down Deng Zilong and Liu Wei's Southwest Field Army, and connected with the southern artillery troops of more than 6,700 people assembled in Zhejiang, and after arriving in Guangdong, it again received a group of wolf soldiers of more than 4,000 people, so the main army in the hands of Xiao Ruxun of the entire fleet has reached the scale of 30,000 people.

When the Ming fleet was rapidly moving south, Narui Xuan, the king of Siam, also received a letter of state sent by the Ming envoy, informing Siam that the Ming army was going to land in Siam, pass through the Siamese border, enter Dongwu State, attack Dongwu State, and destroy it, and asked Siam State to provide guidance and correct roads and necessary information, and Daming would pay for grain and grass for its own use, etc.

This news caused an uproar in the Siamese court.

The Ming Dynasty is going to do it to those barbarians in Burma again?

Before, the Ming Dynasty just cleaned up the arrogance and invasion of the Korean country, and the head of the Japanese country, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, killed, the Japanese country was torn apart, and recreated the Korean state, and later the Ming Dynasty promulgated the four seas of the Ping Japanese edict, this news was known by the surrounding vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, for a time the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was greatly inspired, and the surrounding vassal states were happy, worried, and afraid.

As the Ming Dynasty's non-conquest country, Siam is not worried about the Ming Dynasty to move troops against them, not to mention the promise of the country not to be conscripted, just to say hundreds of years of friendship, Siam has never been disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty has no reason to levy them, the previous deeds of the restoration of Korea are also publicized around, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has reached the peak since Yongle for a time.

So in Siam, a few sporadic voices worried about the Ming Dynasty's false path to extinction were quickly suppressed, they thought that this was a groundless conjecture, if the Ming wanted to do it, North Korea no longer exists, but North Korea is still there, which is enough to prove that the Ming Dynasty is high-spirited.

The only thing they had to think about now was how to entertain the Ming army, and whether they needed to do anything for it.

Although the edict of the Ming Dynasty said that the Ming Dynasty would pay for the grain of Siam, and Siam did not need to take the initiative to give it, but as a vassal state, it was a proper gift to provide some grain and grass to the suzerain, not to mention that the suzerain's conquest of Burma was really a great good thing for Siam, and everyone knew the blood feud between Siam and Burma.

Whether the other party wants it or not is one thing, whether you give it or not is a matter of ideological consciousness, Daming is a country that loves face so much, if Siam does not take the initiative to give some satisfaction to Daming's face, Daming will be very unhappy.
