Chapter 384 White Disaster

At the time of the Spring Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still cold and piercing in the north at this time.

This is a rare cold winter in a hundred years. The snow outside is a foot thick. It is very painful to step on it and pull it out. Even most of them are like this. The people outside were frozen to death overnight.

It's good, the moon is good, and the New Year is sad!

Almost all the year's harvest has been taken away by the landlords. There is almost no food in the homes of ordinary people. The people do not have enough to eat and suffer from the cold again. Many families have not survived the cold winter, nor have they survived the army in the south.

At this moment, the news has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River in the north. There, everyone has five mu of land, and there is no tax for three years. It is said that the son over there is living a very good life. Zhang Shicheng in the south of the Yangtze River is already a savior in the eyes of the people.

Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, I hope they can come to the north so that they can live a good life.

The north wind was blowing, and the piercing cold wind blew into the bones, wrapped in a fox coat. I still felt that my whole body was cold, and there was no trace of living breath.

However, they still have to go out and jump out of the warm quilt. There is no charcoal fire to roast their hands in the warm body in the quilt. They are all walking in the direction of the palace.

Recently, the emperor didn't know what was going on. He suddenly asked to go to court every day, especially on a snowy day like now. The carriage can't move, and the sedan chair can't sit. It's also a laborious thing to just leave. However, they still have to go to the palace.

Tuohuan Timur sat on the high throne, and the huge treasure hall was empty. Today, he couldn't wait for all the officials to come, and he had already arrived at the hall in advance. He wanted to discuss with the ministers below. This heavy snow brought him a great disaster.

There is a white disaster on the Mongolian grassland!

As the descendants of Genghis Khan, their birthplace is the vast Mongolian grassland. Although they now live in a big city, the customs of nomads still remain deeply in their bones. They also have many ethnic groups who still stay in the Mongolian grassland and live their original life.

Such a heavy snow is a great disaster for the grassland. Heavy snow will freeze a large number of cattle and sheep to death. For nomads, this is very terrible.

Without cattle and sheep, they could not survive in the second year.

In the original time, every time they encountered a white disaster, the only way out for the Mongolians was to go south to the Central Plains at the beginning of spring and live through looting.

Now, the whole Central Plains is already the land of the Yuan Dynasty, and it can no longer be plundered. However, as long as it is distributed to all levels, the people on the grassland can still survive.

However, this is destined to be a delusion. How many places in the big country now belong to you? How much wealth can be provided to the people?

It's sparse, and people keep walking to the hall. Today, many people are late because the road is not easy to walk.

When people walked to the hall one after another, there was still no sound in the hall. Tohuan Timur looked at the ministers below and said, "Gentlemen, now a heavy snow has caused a serious white disaster for our family. Can you have a good plan?"

No one answered. They all know that there is no way at all, that is, the food in most of the capital is not enough for locals to eat. Where is there any surplus food?

There is food in your own home. Who is willing to take it out?

"Your Majesty, now that the prince is in the capital, it's better for the emperor to order the prince to return to the grassland to save the victims!" The next minister said.

At a glance, it was Tian Feng, the waiter.

Kick the ball to the crown prince? The ministers are looking at Tian Feng with contempt in their hearts. What is his intention? Originally, the emperor didn't get along with the crown prince, so he let the crown prince stay in the capital. Did the emperor order to move the crown prince? If the crown prince doesn't obey the order, where will the emperor's face go? If the crown prince does it, the emperor will show that he is incapable!

Sure enough, Tohuan Timur can't be denied. It seems a little inappropriate to know that it is a little inappropriate to pass this matter.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the expansion of Timur lead the army to rescue the people in the snow. The expansion of the general is profound and righteous, and he will definitely agree." Another old minister made a speech.

I'm so happy that it's much better to expand the profile than to let the crown prince go.

Although he had a great conflict with himself because of political dissent, and even did not hesitate to meet him, no matter what, he was also a Mongolian, and Genghis Khan's blood flowed in his body.

Now, if the clan is in trouble, he will never ignore it. At least, his elite soldiers can save the people in the snowdrift.

And now, he is by his side, and he will definitely agree.

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!" Another voice said.

Tohuan is a little unhappy. What's wrong with this?

"Now our army doesn't have much left. If we let the expansion go to the grassland, then once Zhang Shicheng's army in the south comes, how can we resist?"

"Haji, I think you are old and confused, right?" A minister said with a sneer, "Even if the soldiers and horses of the south come over, will the expansion resist for us? He will only hide behind and watch us fight, right?

It's all in the north of the capital, and the expanded soldiers and horses are stationed there. If most of them are in trouble, will he come? Many people are full of doubts.

"The army in most of the capitals cannot be mobilized. If you know the depth, you will definitely agree with our claim."

"At the beginning, the expansion of the general did his best to eliminate the rebellion. If the rebellion in the south spread, he would definitely bring troops here. Coupled with the force of Lord Li Siqi, it could ensure that most of them would be safe. Otherwise, most of them would be dangerous!"

Listening to the gradual conflict below, his heart was full of resentment.

When did the descendants of Genghis Khan fall to this point?

Finally, a sudden voice made him happy.

"Although this heavy snow has brought a white disaster to our family, it has also hindered the pace of Zhang Shicheng's rebellion in the south. Zhang Shicheng's army is all from the south, which is not suitable for the climate here at all. Therefore, he will not advance north until the beginning of spring. Therefore, no matter which army we send to the disaster relief, we will not There will be problems. As long as they are provided with enough food for the people, they can survive.

In this kind of weather, southerners are absolutely uncomfortable, so many people are wondering whether Zhang Shicheng will take advantage of the emperor's power to go north. Now there is this heavy snow, there will be no trouble for the time being.

To happily nodded and made up his mind.
