"Your Majesty is sick."

Zhang Fu went to see Zhu Di, but the eunuch did not hide it because his condition was not serious.

"Your Majesty suffered some chills, but the imperial doctor said a few things about taking medicine."

Zhang Fu frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is full of military and people's hearts, why not... burn more charcoal basins."

The eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "Just as before, Your Majesty refuses."

Zhu Di refused to compromise with his body, just as he refused to compromise with Timur back then.

Zhang Fu had no choice but to say: "The Halie people are still far away. Unless they raid with light cavalry, there will be no war in the near future."

The eunuch said: "Recently, His Majesty has been asking about the weather and saying that if it rains, the battle will probably be postponed to summer."

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "Yes, the army of Halie is gathering, and all kinds of supplies have to rely on large trucks. If it rains, first, it will be wet and cold in the morning and evening, and the number of patients will increase. Second, the road is muddy and difficult to move. In order to ensure the safety of the army, they may choose to camp and wait for the climate to improve."

At this time, a small eunuch came out and said, "Duke of England, your Majesty summoned him."

Zhang Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty should rest..."

After entering the inner room, Zhang Fu saw that Zhu Di was not bedridden, but wearing a cotton robe looking at the map.

"The Halie should have already left Yilibali, and there is still no report from Hamiwei. Zhang Fu, tell me."

Zhu Di spoke with a nasal voice, Zhang Fu's heart trembled slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, there are only a few of us on Hami, and Tuli Timur must be scared."

"be terrified?"

Zhu Di said disdainfully: "Aren't he afraid of my anger?"

"Your Majesty, Hami Guards are the original Oirat, while they are close to Yilibali to guard the passage to Samarkand. The Ming Dynasty must control it."

Zhang Fu's ideas are very clear and cold.

"Hami is located in a remote place, and Yilibata can panic them at any time, so I think the Ming Dynasty can ignore it at this time and wait for the war before taking the punishment."

Zhu Di snorted coldly, and his fingers drew heavily on the Hami Guard's position on the map, saying, "Tuli Timur wants to avoid disaster, so I will help him, but the Halie will not let him have a good time!"

Zhang Fu's heart moved and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is... the Halie will take action?"

Zhu Di nodded, straightened his waist with his hands behind his back, and said, "The Hami Guard's position is critical. Are the Halie people afraid that I have ambushing troops there? Then give them a moment from behind, and that will be a decisive blow! So..."

Zhang Fu understood, "Your Majesty, it would be fine if the Halie people took over the Hami Guard. Then the Ming Dynasty cannot migrate the population on a large scale at present, it's useless!"

The meaning of this sentence is interesting. Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Fu and said, "I think you have read too much and you have become pedantic. Who would have thought that the intention of killing is still there? It's great!"

Zhang Fu was sweating coldly on his back, and he said in a daze: "I... I just study to suck my evil spirit."

"What to waste? It's inexplicable!"

Zhu Di walked away, and the eunuch went over and put the map away, then packed it.

"Follow me."

Several large charcoal basins were burned indoors. Although the door was opened, Zhu Di still felt a little bored.

The two of them were circling around the inner courtyard, and Zhu Di said calmly: "I guess Hami will definitely not protect it, but this is a good thing. It will be the Ming army in the future. But we must prevent the Halie people... and later, the orders should be sent to Shaanxi/Xi Hening/Xia to pay attention to the movements of the Halie people and beware of sneak attacks."

The eunuch hurried to find Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi. Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The weather is not good, the grassland is too vast, and it is not easy to find the enemy situation, so we can only strengthen our defense. What do you think?"

Zhang Fu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is a great possibility in Shaanxi/Xi, and Ning/Xi are too close. Once our army attacks from behind, it will be difficult for the Halie people to be defeated, but it is always good to be careful."

In the past, Zhu Di mostly discussed this pre-war layout with the generals first, and then made arbitrary decision. But after making a decision today, he even asked Zhang Fu...

Zhu Di said as if he was unaware: "If they did not attack those two places, this battle would have to be tested first. Last time they suffered a great loss and their morale was not good. Lord Halie would definitely want to find it back... Are you alert there?"

This was a bit interesting, and Zhang Fu said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, Xing and Bo said something about the Halie people that day, saying that the king of this country was arrogant and pretentious, and he would definitely not suffer any loss."

"Arrogant? That's a good thing!"

Zhu Di's eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "My youth began to lead troops, went deep into the grassland many times, and led by the leader. Where is the king of Halie? Do you dare to be arrogant even if you don't know the soldiers? That's not knowing how to live or die!"

Zhang Fu secretly glanced at Zhu Di, but saw indifference.

"I heard that they have recently built firearms, and there are Han people helping me in the middle. I have sent someone to investigate, Nine clans!"

The punishment that was almost to be passed down through the ages is about to appear again, but Zhang Fu was calm and even felt a little happy.

Zhu Di breathed out, felt a little depressed in his chest, and said casually: "Fang Xingzhebao can't sit still, right?"

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "It will take some time for Halie to arrive. If you do nothing, you will have to be angry if you change your ministers."

"When I was young, I led my army out of the frontier. It was cold and I ate dry cakes and drank ice water. After I found the enemy, I wading when I encountered a river. It was cold! I didn't even notice my feet after I got out of the water."

Zhu Di's eyes were filled with memories and sighs, and he remembered what happened to him.

"At that time, I didn't think about anything, just thinking about killing the enemy. The rule of the Mongols was still yesterday. The dreams I had at night were... nightmares, who dared to slack off?"

It was a time when the whole nation was united. In order to expel the Tartars, everyone except for a very small number of people were supporting the Ming Dynasty, the newborn regime, and they were determined!

"But people have changed now."

Zhu Di's voice was a little cold and solemn.

"I have given them glory, wealth and rewards, but they are guarding their families... looking around and being fence-bred!"

Zhang Fu's cold sweat broke out, and he didn't know if Zhu Di's words were hitting him.

"Are you scared?"

Zhu Di suddenly asked indifferently.

"I am guilty!"

Zhang Fu bowed to apologize, but he had no doubts in his heart.

Zhu Di left him idle and neglected him, but just to weigh his essence.

"I am worried about slander and ridicule, and I just want to protect my family and wealth, but I forgot your Majesty's instructions. I am ashamed of being the Duke of England..."

This is apologizing. Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "I only look at my original intention. There are too many ways to hide it. The Xu family is covering up. What are you covering up?"

Zhang Fu dared not answer this, after all, the Xu family is a descendant.

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "They are afraid that they will not be able to do things, and are afraid that they will be punished by me, so they just pretend to be rich and idle, while the other often contradicts me and act like a naughty person, which is ridiculous!"

"If I want to touch the Xu family, why do I need to make any excuses? Just do it directly!"

Zhu Di looked outside with a glance and said sarcastically: "All civil and military officials in the court are jumping up and down, but I can't see many people who are dedicated to the country. This is the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Fu bowed and dared not speak.

"The prince likes literati. After a long time, he will inevitably suppress Wu Xun."

This unfilial son...

Zhu Di turned around and left, Zhang Fu stood there, thinking blankly about what he had just said.

Is this a warning to us?

Stay away from the prince? Or be alert to the prince and keep a distance from the civil servants.
