Ten days later, the mobilization of 80,000 imperial guards in the capital was completed. Fu Youde, the main general and Zhu Di as the deputy, led the army to set off to the northwest. The 80,000 is also the largest force that the capital can draw. After all, the capital also needs a large amount of troops to be stationed, and there are 70,000 to be mobilized from various side troops. At that time, they will directly rush to Ningxia to meet the army.

As the army set off, Zhu Yunyu also led all civil and military officials to see him off in person. Fu Youde and Zhu Di were also wearing armor, and behind him were all elite imperial guards with all kinds of firearms. In recent years, the use rate of firearms in the Ming army has been increasing, and the power of firearms has also increased rapidly, so the pure firearms troops have become the elite in the army.

"Duke Yingguo, fourth uncle, this expedition is related to the fate of our Ming Dynasty. We must return victoriously!" Zhu Yunyu held the wine glass in both hands and toasted Fu Youde and Zhu Di.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will kill all the enemy leaders and promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!" Fu Youde and Zhu Di also shouted loudly in high spirits, especially Fu Youde was also excited at this time. He thought that he was old and his troops would not fall on him this time, but he did not expect that Your Majesty would still hand over this important task to him, which made Fu Youde also have the urge to repay the country with death.

Although Fu Youde's hair was gray, he was strong and could not see any old look at all. Zhu Di next to him was in his prime, and the soldiers behind them were even more majestic, which made Zhu Yunqiu feel a lot of confidence in this war. Then he waved his hand and ordered the entire army to set off.

With Zhu Yunxi's order, Fu Youde and Zhu Di turned over and led the soldiers to leave the capital in a mighty manner. Behind them were Zhu Yunxi and civil and military officials, and countless people came to see them off.

Looking at the army that was leaving, Li Jie in the crowd was also confused. During this period, he had been troubled by a question, that is, would Timur die on the road to the Eastern Expedition as in history because of malaria, and if he really died on the road, all the preparations on the Ming side would be in vain.

"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking?" At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu, who was about to go back, noticed Li Jie's abnormality, so he patted him and asked.

"No... nothing. I'm thinking about the mission. They were detained, and I don't know what they would encounter?" Li Jie hurriedly found an excuse. After all, he couldn't explain his troubles to others, even Zhu Yunxiu could not do it.

When Zhu Yunyu heard Li Jie mention the mission, he also looked dark, but this was not the place to speak, so he didn't say anything else.

After Fu Youde and Zhu Di's army left, Zhu Yunxie returned to his dragon and invited Li Jie to the scene. Then he said, "Brother-in-law, news came from the Jinyiwei that it was the Jinyiwei who escaped from the mission and reported to us was preparing to rescue the detained mission. Do you think this matter may be successful?"

Li Jie frowned when he heard this, and then said, "As far as I know, although the Jinyiwei extended its power to the Western Regions, the Samarkand where Timur is located is the capital of the country. After all, he has been managed by him for many years. It is probably difficult for the Jinyiwei to reach there, not to mention that after the delegation is detained, it will definitely be under strict supervision. How easy is it to save them?"

"Yes, I also have the same concern. The Jinyiwei has limited power in the Western Regions, especially in places like Samarkand, which can only develop secretly. It is probably difficult to rescue the mission by relying solely on the escaped Jinyiwei. I'm even worried that the rescue will not be successful, and it will harm the mission." Zhu Yunxiu sighed at this time, and he was also not optimistic about the plan to rescue the mission.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Jie also heard that there seemed to be other meanings in Zhu Yun's words, so he asked again.

"I'm afraid the people in the mission will not be able to come back. Even if I win this battle, it's hard to guarantee that Timur will not be embarrassed and angry. He vented his anger with the mission. Samarkand is too far from the Ming Dynasty, and even if he defeats Timur, he cannot destroy his power, so he may not be able to save the mission in the end." Zhu Yunxiu sighed again at the end.

The mission represents the mission of the emperor Zhu Yunxiong. The mission's experience is also a slap in the face of the emperor Zhu Yunxiong. So if possible, Zhu Yunxi would also want to rescue the mission, but now it seems that there is no hope for this matter.

Li Jie also showed a heavy expression after hearing this. He and Zhu Yunyu had similar views, but they were not completely out of the way. For example, the missions in history were actually released, mainly because Timur died on the way to the Eastern Expedition, and his son fought for power within the internal struggle. Later, he restored diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, so the missions that were detained were released, but that was more than ten years later.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yunxi asked someone to find information about the mission. Although he didn't say anything, Li Jie knew that Zhu Yunxi was actually considering the funeral of the mission members. After all, no matter whether the battle was lost or the victory or defeat, the possibility of the mission returning was very small.

Li Jie also picked up the information of the mission and looked at it, especially paying attention to the members of the mission. Especially when he saw the names of Fu An, Guo Ji and others, he also sighed. Although these two people did not leave any fame in history, they were indeed loyal people comparable to Su Wu.

However, Li Jie only looked at the list of the mission, but did not find it at all. Next to the list of the mission, there was another list, and this list was a gift brought by the mission. After all, Timur had paid tribute many times, so this time the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy, so naturally he had to prepare a rich gift.

On this gift list for Timur, there is a rather strange gift listed on it. Its name is Jinchona Bark. It comes from the distant America. Of course, if it is just this, it will not be listed on the gift list. The most important thing is that it is a good medicine for the treatment of malaria. This is also one of the important crops personally designated by Li Yue to bring back from the Americas. It is now widely used in the Ming Dynasty to treat malaria, and countless people survived because of it.

Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu from Beijing City are still worried about the fate of the mission, but they never expected that Fu An and others of the mission had escaped successfully. They are now trying their best to avoid Timur's pursuit, and at the same time they are trying their best to return to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the road to the Ming Dynasty has been completely blocked. It is not to capture the escaped delegation, but Timur has begun the Eastern Expedition, and countless supplies have begun to gather in the East. These supplies are enough for the army of the Eastern Expedition to use for seven years. From this we can see that Timur is determined to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty!
