He glanced briefly at the officers and soldiers who had already penetrated the dummy formation, then looked sideways at the soldiers beside him and asked, "When will Taisun arrive at Datong City."

The soldier immediately replied: "It won't take more than a few days to arrive. A few days ago, the Northern Patrol just visited Datong City and Prince Dai's Mansion over there, asking Datong City to be ready to pick them up."

"You guys have been going hunting in Mawu Mountain these days." Lan Yu retracted her hands, hugged and rubbed the arm armor on the outside of her forearm, and said with deep eyes: "When the grandson arrives in Datong City, we still have to meet His Highness.

I cried so hard."

The soldier smiled and said, "I understand."

…

A few days later.

On Mawu Mountain on the west side of Datong City, on a high ridge, Zhu Yunxi looked at Datong City at his feet. He could vaguely see the military formations practicing by the Yuhe River on the east side of Datong City. He could not help but frown slightly and muttered in confusion.

.

"I don't quite understand. Could it be that my uncle Gu has really changed his gender?"

By his side, as usual, were Gao Yangzhi, Cao Zhen, Wang Xinling, Ma Hongqing and others.

But today, there was an additional young man wearing the regular uniform of the Ming Dynasty clan vassal king.

The young man's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhu Yunxi's.

"I think that when Brother Hei enters the city, this uncle will return to his true nature."

In the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Gui, who had been granted the title of King of Dai and was guarding Datong, said this with a smile.

Zhu Yunxi glanced sideways at Zhu Gui.

My Uncle Wang's maternal background is extraordinary. He is the son of Guo Huifei, the daughter of Guo Zixing.

But as always, this Uncle Wang is like his other uncles. The words and deeds shown by the real person are always very different from those in the rumors.

For example, the acting king Zhu Gui in front of us is said by everyone to have a violent personality.

But the Uncle Dai Wang in front of him didn't look even remotely irritable.

Zhu Gui also felt the gaze of his great-grandson nephew who had just arrived outside Datong City.

He just smiled slightly: "When I go into battle today, Brother Xi will know what your thirteenth uncle's temperament is like."

Zhu Yunxi shrugged: "It's just the common people's hypothesis. However, the thirteenth uncle said what my uncle and grandpa said, but my nephew took it seriously."

After that, he looked at the few Lan Yu soldiers who were detained by Zhang Hui and his men at the foot of the high hill on the ridge.

Zhu Gui crossed his arms and smiled in an elegant manner: "Uncle Lan is in a hurry. This time you... Bachelor Tie Xuan will lead the Northern Expedition, and you will have your third uncle and fourth uncle in the army.

, Fourteenth Uncle. By the way, there are also your Thirteenth Uncle, me, and the Seventh Uncle who is currently guarding Xuan Mansion in Kaiping.

There are so many clan lords who can lead troops, and there are also a group of princes and nobles stationed at the frontier all year round. It may be difficult for my uncle to lead an army all by himself."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gui glanced at Marquis Jingchuan who was standing behind Zhu Yunxi.

According to my own calculations, this time the Ming Dynasty used all its strength to launch the Northern Expedition, and generals like Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, probably only led an army.

"Let's first go to the machine-making factory of the Ministry of Industry in Datong City."

Zhu Yunxi did not mention what the imperial court's arrangements were for this Northern Expedition, but instead mentioned the matter of the Ministry of Works.

Zhu Gui's eyes immediately flashed and he praised: "If you ask me, in the future, the court should hire more people who can do practical things and are capable, like the current minister of the Ministry of Industry.

This time during my Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expedition, I have all the artillery and firearms made by Weapon Maker. Your Thirteenth Uncle has made up his mind this time and will not return to the army until the grassland is plowed!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing.

He just made a gesture of invitation and walked down the mountain to Datong City.

The Northern Patrol was waiting at the headquarters of the Chinese Army at the foot of Mawu Mountain.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he immediately started again and headed straight for Datong City.

A few moments.

Before noon, the army had already passed through the west gate of Datong and entered the city.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the inside out, Datong City is a city built for war.

Apart from the Prince's Palace and numerous government offices, there are few residences for common people in the city.

Even if there are some, they all exist around war.

For example, there are shops that repair clothes for soldiers, and workshops that make some minor equipment for the government.

This is a city built for war.

On the way to the machine-making factory of the Ministry of Industry in Datong City, Zhu Yunxi had a few more insights.

"Originally I just had some assumptions, but now that the imperial court has tentatively decided on military and national policies, I have more plans for how to thoroughly manage the grassland in the future."

Zhu Gui, who was guarding Datong, looked around with some surprise. He was already used to seeing Datong City.

He spoke softly and slowly: "Take city construction as the core, roads as the link, advance layer by layer, and plan it slowly?"

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, but quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart.

Zhu Gui, who was sent to Datong by the old man to take charge, is not one of those people without vision.

He nodded and admitted: "Originally, according to the past practice, everything was based on the country first. But now, if this law can be implemented outside the border, it will not only be able to implement national policies, but also build cities to drive people inside and outside the border.

The people became rich."

Zhu Gui frowned and thought silently for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a novel idea."

In front, there are several chimneys erected, and the Ministry of Industry Machinery Works, spewing thick smoke, has appeared in front of you.

And on the other side of the street.

But there was the sound of horse hooves.

Immediately afterwards, a shout that was particularly familiar to Zhu Yunxi came into his ears.

"The one ahead of me is my handsome nephew, Yunxi!"
