Xu Mingwu's voice immediately made the surroundings feel like they were in a bad mood.

The first person who reacted the fastest was the Imperial General Cao Minghao. He hurried over to protect Emperor Zhu with his wounds, and ordered the Imperial Army to escort Emperor Zhu and his ministers to the open area.

After feeling the enemy formation, Zhu Cilang was speechless and thought that the days of joy were really unlucky!

The soldiers lined up around were not very panicked. They did not receive military orders, but were just looking around and did not run around at will.

But the residents nearby were different. The local herders who were frightened ran around in panic, and some ran directly into the city.

Seeing this, Zhu Cilang hurriedly said, "Stop them and don't go into the city, so as to prevent the house from collapsing and hurting people..."

Zhu Heqiu led a team of people and loudly ordered the running herders to gather in the empty places and wait for the earthquake to pass.

Fortunately, the earthquake was not strong, but it only subsided for a while. No house collapsed, and no aftershocks occurred. It seemed like God was making a spoof and couldn't stand someone pretending.

Zhu Cilang was calm from beginning to end. When he reached his level, he had already seen through everything and mastered the ability of a big man to be fearless in the face of danger.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the newly erected monument stand there as steady as Mount Tai.

When the earthquake completely passed, everyone returned to Almaty City and gathered together, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Zhu Daneng said to Zhu Heji worriedly: "Your Highness, an earthquake here may be an ominous sign. Is it because my Ming Dynasty has been fighting abroad for many years and killing too much, and God will punish you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of civil and military officials looked at him and thought to himself that this kid was brave enough to say such words in front of His Majesty!

“Bad talk!”

Xu Mingwu hurriedly stood up and said sternly to Zhu Daneng: "Earthquakes are the earthquakes caused by the mutual compression and collision between plates on the earth. They are a common natural phenomenon and are not an ominous sign. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Mingwu originally wanted to popularize the knowledge of earthquakes in detail. After saying a few words, he found that all the ministers looked incomprehensible and could not understand what he said about the crustal movement, so he had to give up.

No wonder, seismology was studied only in the 20th century. In ancient China, including Europe, only recorded natural disasters in earthquakes, and there was no further research, analysis and summary.

Even though the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and science is ahead of its current situation, there are still gaps in these small fields. Xu Mingwu decided to fill these gaps in the future!

Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry and punished Zhu Daneng for being stupid, but just looked at him meaningfully, which made Xu Mingwu feel furious.

"Father, my son thinks this is a great auspiciousness!"

In order to protect his younger brother, Zhu Heqi stood up with a tough bullet and explained: "The father personally fought to pacify the Western Regions, and his achievements were great, so that the earth was shocked. This is a symbol of moving the sky! The herdsmen did not know that auspicious signs were heard from the sky at this time, and they became panic..."

Zhu Cilang has a rich expression, but he didn't even realize that his second child has such skills before!

"Your Majesty, I think so too!"

Qi Guangyang, the Blessed Prince of Dingyuan, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty's great achievements have never been seen in the past. His virtues are the three emperors, and his merits are the five emperors. They are the emperor and the emperor, and even the earth is shocked. This is a happy and congratulatory event. It should be told to the subjects of the world that our Ming Dynasty pacified the Western Regions and followed the will of heaven..."

After Qi Guangyang said this, the other generals also came up and praised them warmly, and the three sentences were inseparable from the Emperor.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mingwu was very surprised and quickly understood that the scientific explanation could not defeat the flattering compliments of the courtiers.

Emperor among the emperor, Emperor among the emperor?

Zhu Cilang heard a black line and shook his hand to stop the speech of the general below, saying, "It's all stopped! As Dingyuan Bo's advice, I told the world about this matter. My Ming Dynasty was in accordance with the will of heaven and sent troops to pacify the Western Regions, and even moved the world..."

As he said that, Zhu Cilang couldn't continue to say anything.

He originally disliked this feudal superstition, but the Western Regions were settled and these herders needed to appease, defining this matter as a good omen of heaven, which was more effective than the deterrence of the city.

Sometimes, the mouths of scholars are even more terrifying than those of the army, and almost lead to a disaster, which has become a great thing in the mouths of court officials!

After all the ministers calmed down, Zhu Cilang suddenly said, "My dear friends, I have been leaving the capital for nearly a year, and the soldiers of the Western Expedition have been resting for many days. It is time for the troops to return to the court!"

Zhou Peigong hurriedly followed Zhu Cixuan's words and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is already winter. Taking advantage of these days, I suggest that you set out on your return journey as soon as possible, otherwise it will snow heavily and the roads of the marching team will be difficult, and you may not be able to reach the capital within half a year..."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

It takes about 10,000 miles to start from Almaty to Nanjing, and it takes nearly half a year to reach the normal marching speed.

Fortunately, there was a train in the Ming Dynasty. The army only needed to walk to Jiayuguan and enter the pass and take a taxi home in batches...

"Everyone is going to prepare immediately and set off for Beijing in two days!"

Zhu Cilang spoke very firmly, as if he was tacitly aware of his ministers.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare now!" The ministers responded, with joy on everyone's faces.

As soon as the news of the troops returning to the North Korea came, it immediately caused a boil in the army.

Zhu Cilang came late, but the soldiers rushed to the front line half a year in advance. They had been in the Western Regions for a year and a half. Many people became seriously ill due to discomfort in the local environment. Naturally, their mentality was different from that of the emperor and the ministers. At this time, everyone was as eager to return home.

Two days after carving the stone and erecting the monument, except for the army that fought against the Western Protectorate, the army that came from the pass and embarked on the journey to return to the east.

Cui Xiang looked at the emperor's ceremonial guard away and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He is the same age as Emperor Tianwu, and their lives have repeatedly intersected, especially in several large-scale battles. The two were on the same battlefield almost every time, but they had never faced each other face to face...

It can be said that as an ordinary civilian and an ordinary soldier, Cui Xiang watched the legendary emperor rise step by step, ending one era and opening another new era.

"I don't know, who will die first..."

"Dad, what are you muttering?" asked his son Cui Xingyun.

Cui Xiang shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, dad wants to write a book..."

......

Tens of thousands of troops, plus the imperial guards and emperors' ceremonies, dozens of civil and military ministers, tens of thousands of prisoners, and hundreds of thousands of livestock, braved the heavy snow and marched towards Jiayuguan with difficulty.

The trip to the east was very difficult. In addition to guarding prisoners of war and captured livestock, King Zhu Heqi of Han was summoned by Zhu Cilang every day to teach the experience of fighting by words and deeds.

Zhu Heqi was flattered, just like a primary school student attending class, listening patiently and carefully, and taking out small notebooks from time to time to write them down.

Zhu Heqiu enjoyed this period and didn't even want to return to Beijing because it was his only chance to monopolize fatherly love in 20 years...

The army marched for a month and a half and arrived at Turpan, the base camp of the Western Protectorate. Zhu Cilang ordered people to place all the prisoners and livestock and spoils in Turpan to prepare for the construction of the Western Regions.

At this time, the first snow after winter also started to fall. The heavy snow like goose feathers fell for two consecutive days, causing great inconvenience to the large group of people in Donggui.
