I am the king of the dead

Li Wen, commander of the capital of Shaanxi Province, became a bargaining chip in the game.

At this time, he was riding his horse towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He had been to the capital once in the third year of Zhengtong. There has never been a Beijing debriefing.

As a world official, his existence hindered the pace of the Ming Dynasty's reform of land and return, and also prevented the Ming Dynasty from changing the capital of Shaanxi to Gansu in disguise, and established the management of Sansi county and county officials, and also prevented the emperor of the Ming Dynasty from developing land and sea simultaneously.

Li Wen reined in the horse, stood on the high hill, looked at the private houses of Beijing Normal University, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The process of him being harassed by horse bandits was not as easy as it was in the Tang newspaper. Before he entered Beijing, he still had some resentment towards His Majesty. Officials don't even have to do it.

But along the way, Li Wen clearly knew what the general trend was, and he knew even more that it was His Majesty who protected him.

It was not because of His Majesty's tossing that he lost his official position.

His Majesty has passed through the Hetao for several years. After the Hetao has regained its former vitality, the Silk Road has become more prosperous than before. The special products of the Western Regions, such as spices, livestock, gems, etc., are destined to be the capital of Shaanxi Province. There are benefits that cannot be quantified.

Such a huge benefit, even if His Majesty does not allow him to return to Beijing to report on his duties, he will not be able to secure it. If it were not for His Majesty's protection, he would have been wiped out by envious civil servants long ago.

Li Wen looked around at his Iron Book Army. The two hundred Iron Book Army were still sent by the imperial court according to the Ming Dynasty's practice. They were said to be guards, but also surveillance.

In fact, after Yongle, Ming Dynasty began to promote literature, medicine and martial arts. Since then, the iron book army system has existed in name only, because there is no one.

The capital of the capital has long been short of personnel, let alone the Iron Book Army for the military heroes of the Ming Dynasty. At most, one or two people will be sent out to make a show. For a little-known earl like Gao Yangbo Li Wen, the court even forgot him. get clean.

However, in order to resettle some retired veterans, His Majesty has picked up this system and picked it up again. The veterans who have fought for half their lives can do nothing but fight, so they have become a very good place to be placed as the Iron Book Army. choose.

Even Li Wen was assigned two hundred riders, and most of these two hundred riders were retired soldiers after the Battle of the Capital, unable to make a living, so His Majesty assigned all of them to the major martial arts as guards.

"The 24th Regiment of the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp has [-] people. In the fourth year of Jingtai, Jingtai was selected and eliminated. There were [-] elite soldiers. Zhou Baihu was also one of the elite soldiers back then?" Li Wen said to a person beside him. The Iron Book Army asked.

Zhou Baihu's name is Zhou Zhongyi, who is from Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. He was conscripted into Beijing as a preparatory army in the 14th year of Zhengtong, participated in the battle of the capital, and became a sharp soldier in the [-]th year of Jingtai.

The selection of sharp soldiers is a selection of the best among the best in the Ming Dynasty, and it is an important source of Shubian generals, commanders, Jinyiwei, and Duntai Yuanhou.

Zhou Zhongyi chose a forward to become a sharp soldier, but he did not succeed in changing from a sharp soldier to a Tiqi or not to accept at night. The soldier turned into the Iron Book Army and guarded Li Wen's side.

Li Wen didn't have any impression of Zhou Zhongyi. He was a taciturn, seldom-talking person with a weak sense of presence, but this time the horse bandits attacked and killed Li Wen, which opened his eyes.

Under Zhou Zhongyi's command, the Iron Book Army of only 200 men surrounded and cut up five hundred horse bandits, and finally ate them all, leaving several tongues behind, and captured the other party's leader alive, and the leader was already in Changping Handed over to Daming's Tiqi.

This was the first time Li Wen saw the Beijing camp fighting. The style was completely different from that of the frontier army relying on the superiority of numbers. The Beijing camp fighting was completely an incomparably exquisite killing machine.

Zhou Zhongyi nodded and said: "Yes, in the fourth year of Jingtai, I had the honor to become a sharp soldier. I am ashamed to say it, but it is a pity that I failed to enter the pier and Yuanhou. "

Li Wen drove the horses slowly and said as he walked: "There is a reason for this harassment. I was originally impeached. According to the past practice, staying out of the army is a capital offense. If it is serious, it will be decapitated, and if it is light, it will be exiled to a remote area. "

"But His Majesty forgave me, in the end, he only asked me to come back to Beijing and step down as the commander of the capital of Shaanxi Province. Some people couldn't help it. "

Li Wen is very clear about the reason why he was attacked and killed. If he died in the hands of the horse bandits, this unclear case is the best warning, warning some generals who are about to make trouble recently, even if His Majesty forgives him , also have to die.

"And this case will eventually be brought to His Majesty's head. Li Wen frowned and said: "In the end, it became His Majesty who was dignified, forgiving on the surface, but actually held a grudge and killed people later." "

"Multiple actions with one stroke." Li Wen continued to ride his horse forward and said to Zhou Zhongyi.

Zhou Zhongyi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't understand the court affairs, but I know that in the capital, no one will be your Majesty's opponent. "

"If I hadn't seen the Beijing camp fighting, I wouldn't believe this statement, but if I saw the Beijing camp fighting, I couldn't believe it, the Beijing camp was brave. "Li Wen very much agrees with Zhou Zhongyi's words, if His Majesty has [-] such sharp soldiers, it will be a crime for the world, and His Majesty will be able to clean up the world.

The strength of the elite is the most important bargaining chip in determining the outcome of an army of millions.

The elite can decide the outcome of the battle, without an elite army, it is just a mob.

This elite does not need too much, [-] is enough to separate one side, [-] can be the king and hegemony, and [-] can watch the emperor's seat and grab it.

27 Jin soldiers can drive 10 Song troops to run all over the mountains and plains, while the [-]-back Wei army led by Yue Fei can fight Wanyan Zongwang [-] in Zhuxian Town.

An elite who is as commanding as an arm can do too many things on the battlefield, whether it is breaking through the front to defeat the enemy, or winning and stabilizing the morale of the army, or preserving the army at the rear, or rushing to help the left and right wings, etc. , have played a decisive effect.

And the elite of the Ming Dynasty's elite is completely in the hands of His Majesty.

Back then, when King Yan's Mansion went south to Nanjing to take the throne, there were only [-] elite soldiers in their hands, but in the current capital, His Majesty has more than [-] elite soldiers.

Li Wen said happily: "Fortunately, when I was in Gansu Town, I received the imperial edict and returned to Beijing immediately without thinking too much. Otherwise, His Majesty would beat me up without even moving the capital camp. It's totally enough. "

Li Wen thought of the tragic situation of the five hundred horse bandits again, and he felt a little scared. Thanks to his submissive heart, he didn't rely on the chieftain of the local clan, hoping to resist in the corner, and disobeyed the emperor's order. Otherwise, he would not wait until His Majesty's army was dispatched The two hundred iron book troops dispersed all his troops.

Li Wen walked through Xitucheng, turned to Beitucheng, and then got off his horse outside Deshengmen, ready to enter the city. After handing over the guides and other things, Li Wen saw the person who came to pick him up, Daming Wenyuan Pavilion Cheng Jing, the eunuch of Bingbi, is the number two Darui in the palace, only under Xing'an.

"Uncle Gao Yang worked hard all the way, His Majesty was very worried when he heard that Uncle Gao Yang was attacked, so he dispatched our family to take care of General Li, and His Majesty bestowed gold and silver coins and satin as a token of comfort. "Cheng Jing said with a smile to Li Wen, and signaled Xiao Huangmen to hand over the reward from His Majesty to Li Wen.

Cheng Jing's main responsibility in the palace is to give gifts.

If His Majesty bestows the First Merit Card, Cheng Jing will distribute the First Merit Card gift pack; for the Miracle Merit card bestowed by His Majesty, Cheng Jing will distribute the Miracle Merit card gift pack; "If a child is born in the palace, Cheng Jing is responsible for distributing Pepsi boxes."

And because His Majesty treats His Majesty well and is extraordinarily generous, and the things he bestows are of great value, Cheng Jing is also known as the Wealth Boy both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty.

Deshengmen is the way of war. There are only soldiers, horses, Wuxun generals here, and there are no other idlers. Li Wen handed over the imperial gift, which is a bit strange. Usually, it is unreasonable for the eunuchs not to take part of the reward, but he did not have much. If you think about it, thank you for your grace.

"Bo Lao Gaoyang has made great achievements. He has been guarding the frontiers of Gansu for more than [-] years. His Majesty originally planned to let Uncle Gao Yang take a rest, but there is still a lack of a teacher in the martial arts hall, so His Majesty sent our family to ask Uncle Gao Yang to fulfill his wish. Do you work for Ming Dynasty?" Cheng Jing waited for Li Wen to thank him, and asked again.

讲武
Where is the hall?
It is the core of the power core of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jiangwu Hall, where Yang Hong was the first to sacrifice wine, participated in military affairs. The place.

As long as Li Wen agrees, when he returns to Beijing this time, he will not be disarmed and return to the fields, but will be promoted.

"Commander Li, don't rush to answer, His Majesty is waiting for Commander Li in the lecture hall, and invites Commander Li to come with us. "Cheng Jing didn't ask Li Wen to answer immediately, but asked Li Wen and His Majesty to talk.

Li Wen flicked his sleeves, and an envelope slipped out. Inside was a ticket from Daming Yinzhuang. The thickness was at least a thousand taels.
Yu Qian refused to give it at the beginning, but was thrown into prison.

Li Wen handed over the envelope without any fumes, and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Da Pang, I will face you later, but I have never met His Majesty, and I would like to ask Da Pang for some pointers, I am very grateful . "

But Cheng Jing said without moving: "After our family took your money, His Majesty took our family's head, and asked Commander Li not to miss our family's life." "

"I can't give advice, but His Majesty is a very simple person. He likes to speak directly when he has something to say, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush. His Majesty is worried about state affairs and is very busy. Commander Li can still say what he thinks in his heart. "

"Huh?" Li Wen took the envelope and took it back, and it didn't matter if he didn't take it back.

This is right with His Majesty, what do you want to say? Isn't that tired of work?
From this point of view, it means that the money was not in place, and Da Dang refused to tell the truth.

Li Wen flicked his sleeve again, another envelope slipped out of the sleeve, this time it was thicker than before, but this time he didn't give it to Cheng Jing, but handed it to the eunuchs who came with him and said: "Here Everyone take it to drink tea, a little heart. "

Cheng Jing turned around and walked forward with a group of red-robed eunuchs. The red-robed eunuchs ignored Li Wen's banknote and followed Cheng Jing away.

If these eunuchs dared to take the money, they would be buried by Xing'an Darui in the back mountain to accumulate fertilizer tomorrow.

It's not that Xing'an Darui has never buried someone before. Everyone knows that Xing'an Darui is not greedy because His Majesty will not let him.

"My life is over. "Looking at the two believers in his hands, Li Wen said in a daze.

Zhou Zhongyi asked suspiciously: "Why did Uncle Gao Yang say that, didn't His Majesty ask you to be the head teacher of the martial arts hall?"

"Perhaps Uncle Gao Yang didn't know that he wasn't in the capital, but that place was directly led by Shaobao to advise His Majesty, and it was called Junji Pavilion, which was even rarer than a bachelor in Wenyuan Pavilion. "

Zhou Zhongyi thought of a possibility, that Li Wen thought that the change of officials was too small, after all, Li Wen was a powerful official in Shaanxi.

Li Wen said helplessly: "Where do I think the official is too small, I, I, you see, this eunuch doesn't take my money anymore, am I dead?"

Zhou Zhongyi thought for a while and said: "Well, the eunuchs in His Majesty's hands don't charge money, this is completely different from the Zhengtong years, Gaoyang Bomo must misunderstand. "

"It's really rare that eunuchs don't accept bribes. Li Wen said he didn't believe it, but eunuchs are the emperor's dogs

It is still playing right that decides his fate.

Li Wen soon saw the legendary lecture hall. The street trees in front of this place were already covered with pavilions, and the appearance of the Dalongxing Temple was no longer visible, only the wide road and the magnificent main entrance.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a tall stone tablet with two lines of big characters written in gold on it, saying that the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always exist, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever.

Zhou Zhongyi was fascinated by Li Wen's reading of these two lines, and explained: "This is the 14th year of Zhengtong. His Majesty shouted slogans when he was sticking to the capital. The original purpose was to boost morale. After all, the Japanese army and the military army who entered Beijing at that time They are all recruits who have never fought a war. "

"At that time, we won the battle, so His Majesty wrote these two lines in front of the lecture hall. "

week

Zhongyi came to the Juxian Pavilion in the lecture hall, and walked in step by step.

"The sinner pays homage to His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live. "Li Wen made three bows and five knocks as soon as he entered the door, which is a necessary etiquette for face saints.

"No courtesy, Xing'an will give you a seat to watch tea. "Zhu Qiyu was reviewing the memorandum. There was a drought in Shaanxi, and Changping warehouses in Shanxi, Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Sichuan and other places transferred grain to Shaanxi for relief. Tens of thousands of tons of food relief for the victims.

One side was in trouble and all sides supported, Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial, and then looked at Li Wen.

Li Wen was a little cautious, sitting on half a chair with his buttocks, staring straight at the teacup, a little absent-minded. This general who has been guarding the frontier all the year round does not have much evil spirit, but looks a little gentle.

"Commander Li, why didn't Commander Li rescue the enemy invaders in Guazhou this time? I want to hear your own words. "Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Wen and asked.

"Damn the guilty minister. At that time, the guilty minister thought that Guazhou was outside Jiayuguan and was not in the jurisdiction, so" Li Wen remembered Cheng Jing's confession, and then gritted his teeth and said: "It is not in the jurisdiction, so I am afraid that the army will be mobilized at will. As a pawn, he would be impeached, so he chose to stay out of the army. "

Li Wen told the truth, Jiayuguan is not under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Xingdusi. If he goes out to fight, losing will be a huge trouble, and winning will also be a trouble. .

So Li Wen chose to do nothing.
