I am the king of the dead

Chapter 98

Yu Qian has already traveled to Tumu Fort.

This sad place shook the entire Ming Dynasty and shattered hundreds of thousands of families.

It has been four months since the change of Tumu Fort. The winter wind roared by fiercely. After the battle, it immediately rained heavily, and then it snowed heavily. When the cold wind from Siberia blew, the entire Tumu Fort battlefield was blown away. It has become a frozen ground.

The cold sun in the winter for several consecutive days melted some of the snow flakes. The snow melted during the day and froze at night. The entire battlefield was frozen into a whole piece. Under the cold sun, you could even see the dead soldiers inside the ice sculptures.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites brought the sacrificial text written by the Hanlin Academy and sacrificed. Before the heavy snow, he collected some of the corpses, but soon after the heavy snow was frozen, even with the help of the Xuanfu guards, there was still no battle on the battlefield. Clean up.

The sacrificial priest of the Ministry of Rites erected an inscription to record the tragic changes in Tumu Fort.

Tumu Fort is indeed a large plain, and it is indeed a suitable place for a decisive battle.

But Yu Qian looked at the place where he was stationed and sighed heavily. The location of the camp was only less than five miles away from the water source.

When the Ming army went out to fight in the fortress, they all had the habit of setting up a strong fortress. Even if it was left unattended for four or five months, the camp was still very complete.

Although it is very dilapidated, there are trenches and horse traps everywhere.

Without an order to move the camp, there would never have been such a drastic change.

The place with the most corpses was the main battlefield less than a thousand steps away from the camp. Yu Qian could already imagine the tragic battle situation at that time.

Zhu Qizhen ordered the camp to be moved, but after walking more than 1000 steps, the enemy cavalry broke up the formation, and the fire was everywhere, and the internal thieves took advantage of the momentum.

The Daming army was in chaos and was finally surrounded by cuttings. More than [-] Daming soldiers died in the military battle in Tingwen, and the Daming army began to collapse after huge casualties.

Soldiers!defeat!like!Mountain!fall!
The huge messy and rotten corpse dragged out a long tail, which was the scene of the Da Ming army being chased by the tail after the collapse.

The elites accumulated by the three generations of Jingying just lay on this grassland.

Whether it was a noble or a family member, whether it was a jinshi or a minister, their bodies were frozen together in this frozen soil, and they could no longer be distinguished and searched.

There are 50 households in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!Everyone is dressed in hemp, but they can't even find the corpses of their relatives!
Yu Qian took a deep breath and exhaled again.

In the face of this kind of human tragedy, he had a thousand words, but he didn't know how to say it. Under the depression, he coughed suddenly.

"Yu Shaobao." Yang Jun supported Yu Qian, he knew how sad Yu Qian was at this time.

Just like when he was sent by Yang Hong to clean up the battlefield, the anger soaring to the sky was churning in his heart, these good sons of the Ming Dynasty were buried in this place, and they couldn't rest their eyes!
Yang Jun is the son-in-law of Yang Hong of Xuanfu, and he is the right governor of Xuanfu. He holds a lot of troops. Zhu Qizhen is stationed in the town to fight decisively. Ma Ying, Yunzhou, Chicheng, Diao O and other seven fort soldiers and horses rushed to help Tumu Fort with their father.

As a result, before reaching the place, the sudden change of Tumu Fort has already occurred, and the catastrophe has been completed.

Afterwards, he followed his father to help the capital, and Yang Jun suffered seventeen injuries. After a short rest, he dragged all his injuries and followed Yu Qian to Kyushu outside the mountains.

"I'm fine." Yu Qian sighed and stood up straight. Hearing the news of the sudden change in Tumu Fort in the capital and witnessing it with his own eyes were completely two different feelings.

This place is even more gloomy and colder than other places, that is, the ghosts of the soldiers are circling and cruising on the battlefield.

Yu Qian tightened the cloak on his body and instructed: "When the ice and snow melt in the spring, come here immediately. Remember, you must dispose of the corpse in time and bury it. There are many plagues and diseases in spring. The king can't save you either."

"The last general is ordered." Yang Jun replied immediately.

Yu Qian looked at the frozen and stiff corpses. There was no armor on these corpses, but there were still a lot of fire guns scattered on the battlefield.

Yang Jun said in a low voice: "Previously, General Yang ordered the last general to come to the Tumu Fort to pick up the leftover military weapons. He got more than 120 helmets, more than 290 collars, and more than [-] round medals."

"The Oirats took almost all the armor, but my Xuanfu Right Guard picked up more than 44 guns, [-] arrows, and [-] cannons here. The Oirats never took them away. firearm."

"Except for Xuanfu, Wanquan, Huai'an, Weizhou and other guard horse infantry officers and troops to receive and use, the remaining 18 magic guns, 260 magic arrows, and [-] cannons are stored in the official treasury."

"Also please be safe and clear."

Yang Jun couldn't understand why these firearms were left on the battlefield, but not a single armor was left?
In Yang Jun's view, these firearms are more expensive.

In fact, the same is true. The firearms of the Ming army were quite miraculous in the defense of the capital.

Yu Qian explained: "The Oara people lived in Mobei in the era. In the eyes of the Yuan descendants of the North Yuan Khan Court, they were horse slaves at the foot of the Kent Mountain. Made gunpowder, so it was abandoned."

"Why didn't you give the firearms that you picked up, and assigned the guards without authorization? According to the law, the crime is difficult to tolerate, and it should be executed."

"King Yang is guarding the borders and doing his best for the country's Jingzhong, but the world has a long mouth, and it is still appropriate to act cautiously."

Yang Jun shuddered and bowed his head and said, "Reporting, the young security guards are all in a hurry to guard the border, and the rest are stored in the official warehouse of Wanquan, and I dare not do anything."

In fact, when this matter was in the capital, Yang Hong passed his anger with Yu Qian in advance, and Yu Qian also communicated with Zhu Qiyu about the handling of the matter.

The opinion given by Zhu Qiyu is that things should be prioritized and there is a danger of overturning at that time. Distributing firearms to the military and civilians for self-protection is an expedient measure, and there is no accountability and no further investigation.

Yu Qian mentioned this matter to remind Yang Jun that His Majesty is generous this time, but can he be so generous next time?

Work is still more rigorous, from Xuanfu to Juyongguan to the capital, it takes less than two days.

The gang of officials in the Procuratorate are staring at them all day long!
Wa La was aggressive in Kyushu outside the mountains, and Yang Jun ordered the military and civilian regiments to practice self-protection.

Yang Hong was the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and Yang Hongtang's nephews, Yang Neng and Yang Xin, were left and right generals.

Yang Hong's son-in-law is also the right governor of Xuanfu, and it is easy for the court to misunderstand what they are going to do.

Even if His Majesty has the ability to tolerate, what about the group of trolls in the Supreme Court?Can the Yanke in the six divisions give things to spare their family?
"Thank you, Shaobao, for bringing this up." Yang Jun broke out in cold sweat, because the matter was too urgent at that time.

Yu Qian took another look at the corpse that was all over the mountains and fields without even clothes, and sighed and said, "It must be buried well."

"The folk customs of Kyushu outside the mountain are fierce, and the army of Oirat is coming. Everyone is brave and hard to stand. When the emperor is hunting in the north, the people of Oirat will not be so at ease. Your Majesty asks you to gather together to practice and form a village to protect yourself. practice."

Yang Jun was full of doubts and asked: "Do you also need to practice fire guns and artillery?"

"Have it."

Yu Qian nodded and continued: "If there is a Jinshen who returns to his hometown, he holds a land deed and asks for fertile land and other things."

"Kill them as much as possible, don't pretend to be a snake, just kill them directly."

Regarding the handling opinions of the returning hometown, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian broke out a fierce quarrel again. The two people's opinions turned to the left.

Even Wang Meilin, who waited outside the door every day, was so frightened that he thought something big would happen.Wang Meilin quickly looked for Xing'an and asked Xing'an to take a look.

Xing'an went in and found out that, in fact, His Majesty and Yu Gong were quarreling, but it was also some differences in state affairs, and it was not a big problem.

Zhu Qiyu thought that those who escaped from Jinshen must die if they return home.

You run away during the war, and when the war is over, you continue to come back to enjoy the privileges?How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Yu Qian, on the other hand, believes that sins do not lead to death, so he desperately stops them.

Zhu Qiyu repeatedly reminded Yu Qian to be ruthless.

Why do these people have to die when they return to their hometowns?
Because they not only lost their original role and value, but even affected the implementation of the farm law of the new dynasty.

These squires have been doing great things for a long time. If they return to their hometowns, they only need a few words and they will control the authority of the farming community and cause endless harm.

Yu Qian persuaded several times, but was persuaded by Zhu Qiyu, and finally agreed with His Majesty's decision.

What His Majesty said is very reasonable, the gentry who fled the land must die.

Your Majesty's reason is simple, Oara.

These people are not dead, let alone the implementation of the New Deal. Instead, they will use the military disaster to seize the land, which will give the Oara people an opportunity.

The Oara people are still sharpening their knives, ready to go south at any time, but the benevolence at this time has laid the root of disaster instead.

Since Jinshen ran away and lost his value, if he came back, he would only die to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Daming couldn't bear the siege of Beijing once again.

So the land of the gentry became the price.

　Jinshen was a special class in the Ming Dynasty. They were deeply favored by the emperor and ruled the countryside for the emperor, so there was a saying that the imperial power did not go to the countryside. To die, this is also what Yu Qian did when he restored the military camp in Jiuzhou outside the mountain in history, and the kind father did the same, and I hope everyone will not feel cruel.This is the early Ming Dynasty, Europe has not even ended the Middle Ages, and Constantinople has not fallen. At that time, the values ​​were like this, and the protagonist did as the locals did.
