Chapter 384 White Disaster

Just when the New Year was celebrated happily in the south of the Yangtze River, the north was still biting cold.

This is a rare cold winter in a century. The snow outside fell a foot thick. It was very painful to step on it and pull it out again. Even most people were like this. Many people outside were frozen to death overnight.

The sun is better, the moon is better, and the New Year is sad!

Almost all the harvests of the year were taken away by landlords. Ordinary people had almost no food in their homes. The people were unable to eat enough and suffered from the cold. Many families had not survived this cold winter, nor did they survive the army in the south to fight.

At this moment, news from Jiangnan has spread all over the north. Everyone has five acres of land there, and there is no tax required for three years. It is said that life there is very good. Zhang Shicheng from Jiangnan has become a savior in the eyes of the people.

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

The north wind was whistling, and the biting cold wind blew into the bones, wrapped in a fox fur coat, and still felt cold all over the body, without a trace of a living atmosphere.

However, they still had to go out and jump out of the warm bed. The warmth in the bed had no charcoal fire to roast their hands. They were all walking towards the palace.

Recently, the emperor didn't know what was going on, and suddenly he asked to go to court every day, especially in heavy snow like now, the carriage cannot move and the sedan chair cannot be seated. It is also a laborious task to just leave, but they still have to go to the palace.

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

A disaster has occurred on the Mongolian grassland!

As the descendants of Genghis Khan, their birthplace is the vast Mongolian grassland. Although they now live in big cities, the customs of nomadic peoples are still deeply in their bones. Many of them still stay in the Mongolian grasslands and live their original lives.

Such heavy snow is a very big disaster for the grassland. Heavy snow will freeze a large number of cattle and sheep to death. This is very terrible for nomadic peoples.

Without cattle and sheep, they will not be able to survive in the second year.

In the past, every time I encountered a white disaster, the only way out for the Mongolians was to go south to the Central Plains in the early spring and survive through plunder.

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

However, this is destined to be a delusion. In the vast country now, how many places belong to you? How much wealth can be provided to your tribe members?

It was sparse and people kept walking into the hall. Today, because the road was difficult to walk, many people came late.

When people walked up to the hall one after another, there was still no sound in the hall. Tuohuan Timur looked at the ministers below and said, "Everyone, now a heavy snow has caused the disaster to be severely damaged by our tribe. Do you have any good plans?"

No one answered, they all knew that there was no way, that is, the food in most of the capital was not enough for local people to eat, so where was there any excess food?

I have food at home, who would like to take it out?

"Emperor, now the prince is in Shangdu, the emperor might as well order the prince to return to the grassland and save the victims!" said a minister below.

Tuohuan looked closely and found that it was the Minister of the Assistant, Tian Feng.

Kicking the ball to the crown prince? The ministers looked at Tian Feng with contempt. What was his intention? The emperor and the crown prince were not in harmony, so they let the crown prince stay in Shangdu. Will the crown prince be able to touch the crown prince? If the crown prince does not obey the order, where will the emperor face? If the crown prince finishes the matter, the emperor will show that he is incompetent!

Sure enough, Timur couldn't argue with it. It seemed a bit inappropriate to push this matter over like this.

"Your Majesty, why not let Kuogut Timur lead his army to rescue the tribesmen in the snow. General Kuogut is very clear about the righteousness and will definitely agree." Another old minister spoke.

I am so happy that it is much better to let the Crown go than to let the Crown go.

Although this person had a great conflict with him due to political disagreements and even met him without hesitation, no matter what, he was also a Mongolian person, and his blood flowed from his body was Genghis Khan's blood.

Now, when the tribe members are in trouble, he will definitely not ignore it. At least, his elite soldiers can rescue the tribe members who are pressed in the snow.

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

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!" another voice said.

Tuohuan felt a little unhappy, what's wrong with this?

"Now our army is not much left. If Kuogu goes to the grassland again, then, once the army of Zhang Shicheng from the south comes, what will we resist?"

"Haji, I think you're so confused, right?" A minister said sneered: "Even if the troops from the south come, will Kuogu resist us? He will only hide behind and watch us fight?"

Shangdu is located in the north of Dadu, and the vast army is stationed there. If it is difficult, will he come? Many people are full of doubts.

"The army in Dadu cannot be mobilized. Master Kuogu knows the depth and shall agree with our proposal very much."

"At that time, General Kuogu tried his best to eliminate the rebellion. If the rebellion in the south spread, he would definitely lead troops here. With the force of Lord Li Siqi, most people can be safe, otherwise most people will be dangerous!"

Tuo Huan listened to the gradually rising conflict below, and felt resentful.

When did Genghis Khan's descendants fall to this point?

Finally, a sudden voice made him feel happy.

"Although this heavy snow brought white disaster to our tribe, it also hindered the pace of Zhang Shicheng's rebellion in the south. Zhang Shicheng's army was all from the south and was not suitable for the climate here at all. Therefore, he would not advance north until the beginning of spring. Therefore, no matter which army we send to rescue the disaster, there will be no problem. As long as we provide enough food to the tribe, they will be able to survive."

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

Tuohuan nodded and made up his mind.
