People walked along the canal and gradually reached the west side of Kaifeng City. The Dahe (Yellow River) was right in front of them. The central cavalry protected Zhu Gaoxu and other monarchs and ministers, and everyone rode their horses to the south bank of the Dahe River first.

The river embankment was very high and thick, and there were several parallel protective embankments. Zhu Gaoxu abandoned his horse and walked along the dirt road on the embankment. The civil and military officials had to follow him to climb the hill. After a while, some officials with poor physical strength were out of breath.

After a long time, everyone walked up to a river embankment. Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh and looked around. After a while, he lowered his head to observe the soil under his feet and found that there were many branches and sacks in the soil.

At this time, Gao Xianning said in his voice: "Sir, that is the material left by the willow roller. There must have been a river breaking through the dam and flooding the water. So the water control officer used the willow roller to repair it before he could see this branch."

Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: "Young Master Gao Si knows how to control water?"

Gao Xianning bowed and said, "I just listened to people's talks and knew a little about the fur. However, since the beginning of Wude, the court has changed its strategy of governing the river, and at first it was my suggestion."

Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange. Since Gao Xianning said "a little knowledge of fur", could he still suggest a major strategy for river management?

Gao Xianning pointed to the east and said, "Please look at the grand river (Yellow River) tributaries are blocked in the distance. Over the years, no less than a hundred tributaries have been blocked along the river. This is the result of the new policy of the imperial court, "building embankments to bind water and using water to attack sand."

He continued: "At that time, a student from Shanxi sent a letter to my house and proposed a detailed discussion of this strategy. I handed it over to the Qibutang. Qibutang contacted the Minister of Works Ru Hui and other ministers to discuss it, and finally decided to adopt the method of Shanxi students. The memorial was approved by the emperor's imperial pen."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything because he had no impression of it at all and had completely forgotten it. Perhaps he didn't look at the memorials too carefully when he was criticizing the memorials. He could not remember what was going on. It was possible that it was the Northern Expedition, the war was distracted, and Zhu Gaoxu would not generally refute the memorials that everyone agreed with Qi Tai and others.

Gao Xianning said: "The previous water control strategy was to focus on diversion to avoid flooding. In recent years, the Dukes changed their minds, blocked tributaries, gathered water and washed sand in the river to reduce the riverbed. The effect was immediate."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and thought to himself: No wonder since he ascended the throne, the most common earthquakes were earthquakes, and no one reported the news of the flooding of the Yellow River.

He immediately asked, "Who is this Shanxi student and where is the person?"

Gao Xianning said: "There is no name on the letter, only the four words "Shanxi Student". The minister sent someone to search for it, but no one was found. This person should be a hermit and was unwilling to become an official."

"There are people like this?" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out. But he immediately remembered that Gao Xianning was also like this. Gao Xianning was forced to become an official at the beginning. Zhu Gaoxu asked again, "Then why did he want the imperial examination?"

Gao Xianning said: "There are many conveniences for gentry, such as being able to travel around the world with weapons."

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless because Gao Xianning made a lot of sense. He said casually: "Send two to Shanxi to search, find him out, and serve the country."

Gao Xianning bowed and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at He Kuisi who was accompanying him. He Kuisi bent his waist and looked a little embarrassed.

The river in front of him was turbulent and the noise was very loud. In order to make others hear it clearly, Zhu Gaoxu just spoke loudly, and then he rested and stared at the surface of the river for a long time.

The water of the Yellow River at this time seems not as yellow as hundreds of years later. No wonder people still call it the Great River.

After watching for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little moved, and turned his head and said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty used the sun and the moon as the country's name, which is the fire."

Several civil and military officials agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "But what is irresistible is that we must be hydrophilic for many years in the next year. Only water transportation equipment, cars, horses, boats, etc. in this era can be transported the most labor-saving and lasting. Use sea transportation abroad and river transportation domestically. This is the only way to maintain the new policy."

After he said that, he couldn't help but say, "My words will be passed on to future generations."

At this time, Hou Hai had got the paper and pen from somewhere and recorded it on the spot. Hou Hai was unwilling to return to the camp to record it again. Could it be because he would forget it after a few hours? The people around him were looking at him silently.

Everyone walked east along the river bank for a while. When Zhu Gaoxu saw the dug steps in the south, he took his people down and left here.

After returning to the camp, Zhu Gaoxu decided to stay here for two days. Because a nearby warehouse was used to hoard military supplies transported from the south, he wanted to go on a patrol in person.

Of course, even if there is any problem with this transportation line, Zhu Gaoxu could not see it; officials would definitely clean up and cover it up so that the emperor would look good, and the world would be peaceful and peaceful. However, Zhu Gaoxu was not here to pick on it. He was too lazy to ask about the specific matters, and just wanted to understand the general operating process.

There were more than a dozen provinces and more than a thousand counties in the Ming Dynasty, and countless affairs were involved. Zhu Gaoxu asked about one or two things and did not play any role. So far, the most effective method of governing the rule of the Ming Dynasty was to rectify the administration of officials and choose talented and virtuous young people with real power, and to formulate strategies and laws that conform to reality, and other things were of little use.

Unexpectedly, another thing has made progress at this time.

Before leaving the capital, Zhu Gaoxu issued an imperial edict, asking He Fu from the northwest to send people to Hamiwei to report the information about the remnants of the Tatars to the court in writing.

He Fu's messenger arrived at this moment and sent it straight to the emperor's camp. The journey back and forth for thousands of miles, but things were done so quickly, perhaps because no one was willing to neglect the matter that the emperor personally asked about.

King Zhongshun knew that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked questions himself, and many things were revealed.

There are several important figures in the remnants of the Tatar tribe, one of the Mongolian prime ministers, and the other is the unmarried Khan concubine Ashari who was in the Khan. There is also a child, the Mongolian prince born to Ashari and Benyari.

When Asari first arrived at Hami Guard, he lied that he had contracted smallpox and was isolated in the house for several months. The Wasar Army attacked Hami Guard and withdrew the troops, Tuhuochi took the initiative to tell King Zhongshun that Asari was not infected, but had a child secretly. The reason why the Tatars concealed was for the safety of the children.

The uncle of King Zhongshun was killed by the previous Mongolian Khan Guilichi. The uncle was first occupied by Guilichi, and now he was occupied by Alutai. Tuohuochi and others promised that King Zhongshun would release and return the uncle Zhongshun as long as he could return to the Tatar tribe. Now the Ming court has agreed to the remnants of the Tatar tribe to pass the way, and King Zhongshun should hand over the Tatars and be escorted to the east by the Ming official army.

After reading the letter, Zhu Gaoxu felt more and more that something was wrong. He immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the Central Army to discuss matters.

Six civil and military people arrived one after another, and the memorial sent by He Fu on a fast horse was circulated.

Zhu Gaoxu said straight to the point: "Benyali Shikhan indeed has a biological son, who is in Hamiwei. We used to speculate that Arutai was granted a title to rescue the Mongolian prince, so we probably guessed that it was not wrong. In this way, the news that Arutai wanted to help the Korqin become a Khan was very strange."

Gao Xianning bowed and said, "Wei Duwei's previous inference may be correct."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly and glanced at He Kuisi.

Gao Xianning's voice said again: "But I am confused. According to the news of King Zhongshun, Asari gave birth to a child when he arrived in Hamiwei. This news has been spread to the Tatar tribe thousands of miles away?

There are thorns in the north, and the Ming Dynasty to the south, with the fortresses in the Nine Border Guards. Not to mention that the Mongols had to take such a long way, even if they were Han people, they would not be able to reach Eastern Mongolia in time without official roads."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Gao Xianning sideways: "It's reasonable, the journey is too long and the danger is too great, and it's extremely difficult to communicate between the Tatars on both sides of the east and west."

Gao Xianning leaned forward and bowed, saying, "If Alutai didn't know about the existence of the Mongolian prince in advance, then what reason did he rely on to do things? He sent envoys to submit to the vassal and bribed the Han people to help him."

He Kuisi said, "Watsu suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Hamiwei, and something went wrong. Alutai might guess with this."

Everyone was talking about it, and Hou Hai's voice said, "You are very mysterious. You can only guess such a big thing, so how dare Alutai do things?"

Veda said: "In the war between the emperor and the emperor led the ministers, many decisions were made by guessing, and they could only guess."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "The transportation is inconvenient. If you have to confirm the news in everything, then you can only make a decision in the year of the monkey and the horse in the month?"

Gao Xianning said: "If Wei He’s inference is correct, then Alutai and Tuhuochi will be too amazing.

The Wassar people knew about the Mongolian prince, but it might have been that the Takuhuochi deliberately leaked it out; just as the Takuhuochi took the initiative to tell the King Zhongshun. Otherwise, how would the Wassar people know that Asari gave birth to Benyari's son? The Wassar must have no idea that Asari was pregnant at first, otherwise they would take strict care of the Takutas, so that the Takutas would not have the chance to escape, or they would have killed them as soon as possible.

The reason why Tuhuochi deliberately leaked the news was to let Alutai cooperate with this strategy and provoke the strategies of the Ming Dynasty and Wats. Tuhuochi and Alutai were thousands of miles apart, and they could be so connected with each other in their hearts? What's even more amazing is that Alutai really understood Tuhuochi's thoughts, so he did so many things to cooperate with the remnants of the west."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard Gao Xianning’s statement, he also felt that this fact was a bit magical.

He would rather believe that the Tatars Tuhuochi's subordinate had a man with wings who passed through the thousands of miles of land where Wats and the Ming Dynasty were active, and flew to Alutai, and informed Tuhuochi's strategy.

He Kuisi said: "Asali's words said, it may be fake for Ashari to have a child. They just need to plan to pretend and then spread fake news."

Gao Xianning nodded and said, "That's true. No one will doubt that the news that she gave birth to a Mongolian prince is because at first glance, it seems very unfavorable to the fire-drawn Ashari and others."

Even He Kuisi, who proposed the idea, was shaken at this time: "Maybe Xiaguan's speculation a few days ago was completely wrong. There are many things in the world, and there is no reason to say."

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to rub his forehead. He was a little used to thinking, as if touching his head could increase energy.
