Yunxi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he nodded slowly: "I understand, and I will forward this letter to Yang Feng."
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Yunlan bowed again, turned and left. Yunxi stood there, wondering what he was thinking, before continuing to the Yanxi Palace.
…
…
"Yang Feng." Yunxi, who was standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the civil and military officials who were still seeing him off and the people in the capital watching the excitement, suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty." Yang Feng hurriedly agreed.
"How many of these officials and people do you think understand the significance of this expedition?" Yunxi asked.
"I can't say this." Yang Feng thought about it and found it difficult to measure.
"In my opinion, there are not many officials, but as for the common people, there may be more." Yunxi looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers from the capital guard station loaded on the ship next to him.
"Officials all believe that the Ming Dynasty is so powerful now that it will never lose to a barbarian country in the west. Although they have prepared decent preparations for troops, money and food, both the civil and military officials are a little contemptuous, thinking that Timur has spent thousands of miles on an expedition.
Just come to die."
"They don't want to think about it. When the Song Dynasty was first established, the two Northern Expeditions were defeated by the Khitan people. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were in power, their countries were very powerful, but they failed to defeat the Goguryeo people. The Ming Dynasty
It has been undefeated in the past, its soldiers have served their lives well, and it has been blessed by nature. How can you disrespect a country that is very powerful in the West?"
"On the contrary, the common people were worried because of the story of the Mongols' defeat of the Song Dynasty and some operas that exaggerated Timur's achievements."
Yunxi was very confident in defeating Timur at the beginning, but as time went by, his confidence became less and less. If you compare it to an analogy, it is like a top student getting nervous before an exam. After adding the post
Mu'er sent troops much earlier than expected, which was equivalent to advancing the exam time without authorization, which made him even more nervous.
"That's what your Majesty said," Yang Feng said. He was very nervous after learning of his appointment yesterday. Not only was he worried about losing the battle, he was even afraid that Shangzhiwei would suffer too much loss in his hands.
"But Your Majesty, even though Timur was very powerful in the west, I have also checked the affairs of Samarkand and know that the national strength of the countries he fought in the west is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will definitely win this battle.
Yang Feng said quickly.
"If the time is not advanced, I don't think Timur can win, but the time is advanced so much, what if he really captures Yiwu." Although he has not yet received Shang Bing's decision to hold on to the city.
However, he knew from childhood that he would never be able to withdraw. This was also what he was most worried about.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, good people have their own destiny. Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Yang Feng could only comfort him.
"I hope so." Yunxi could only say this.
Having said this, Yunxi put down his worries about Shang Bing being captured and talked about his responsibilities with Yang Feng. "Yang Feng, you are commanding the Shangzhiwei, but don't worry about it. Don't worry about losing too much."
That makes me dissatisfied with you. What is the purpose of an army? It’s not just for fighting! Especially a main force like the Imperial Guard, it is an army used at the most critical moment."
"So the battles fought by the superiors are not necessarily hard battles, but the tough battles must be fought by the superiors! Since it is a tough battle, the losses will not be small. Don't worry about the losses. If you worry about the losses, you won't be able to fight! If
If you all think this way, in the end you won’t be able to fight in the Zhiwei battle formation. What’s the use of an army that can’t fight and can only be used as a guard of honor to me?”
"You don't have to worry about the decline in combat power. Once the battle against Samarkand is over, there won't be any major battles in the next few years. I can slowly let the generals retrain them."
How could Yang Feng not know about Yun Xi's worries? Even if he didn't expect it at first, he could guess it when he saw his expression after gathering today, so he took the initiative to speak out at this time.
Yang Feng was excited on the surface after hearing this, but he was still frowning in his heart. He was also born in the Zhiwei. Although the guard he was born in was not dispatched this time, he knew many people from other guards.
If someone died, it would still be difficult for him.
Yunxi didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that his words could relieve his worries. He also discussed the war situation in the northwest with him.
But after saying a few words, the wind on the river suddenly became stronger and the waves became much higher. Looking at the clouds in the sky, it seemed that it was going to rain. Wang Xi came up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang, the boat
It won't stop until it reaches Yangzhou, so let's take shelter in the cabin first."
"Your Majesty, please return to the cabin to take shelter from the rain." Yang Feng had already said.
"Then I will take shelter from the rain in the cabin." Yunxi said, and everyone left the deck and walked into the cabin.
"Your Majesty, I am a little seasick. Please allow me to go to the cabin and rest." When they entered the passage, Yang Feng suddenly said.
Of course Yunxi would not be wrong and said with a smile: "Since Yang Qing is seasick, let's go back and rest. But Yang Qing will have to adapt well in the future. There will be more times to take a boat in the future."
