Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

very real problem,

If Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan succeed, who will benefit?
It was the former Nayan Ba ​​Lian Heba and Nadu Erzan, those former noble heads.

What about their guards?

It's just that the treatment is usually better, but are the cattle, sheep and pastures still your own?
In other words, even if he would keep it for himself at that time, wouldn't those noble heads take it by force in the future?

Do they do this kind of thing less?
Therefore, the question was born: what good is the rebellion between Yan and the noble heads for us personal guards?
If there is no benefit, why did we help Nayan and the noble leaders to plot a rebellion?

When this question was born, the guards of Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan were silent when they looked at me and you.

That's right, rebellion is the business of big people, so what good are these small people doing?
Giving up your life, going bankrupt and fighting for a big shot, what do you gain in the end?
The big people are fighting openly and secretly for some conspiracy, and let them, the little people, die. In the end, the little people can't get anything. Why?
Is this reasonable?Is there still Wang Fa?

Guards, you look at me, I look at you, one by one lowered their heads, they don't know what to do.

It's unrealistic for them to give up everything they have right now.

They have their own pastures, their own cattle and sheep, there are mothers-in-law and aunts waiting for them to go home, and children flowing with their blood. Their life is better than before. They have meat, grain, and salt at home. .

The children will be able to read and write in the future, and they will be able to become officials in the Ming Dynasty. They will also be able to join the army and gain meritorious service in the future.
Thinking of this, these personal guards became even more silent. They already have everything beautiful, why are those big people always unwilling to live in the elusive life of those little people, and they still fight openly and secretly?

A personal guard said: "I, I don't want to follow Na Yan to rebel. My wife has just given birth to a child, and I am about to have a second child. If I rebel, the imperial court will take away my cattle, sheep, and my pasture. What about my wife and children?"

Another guard said: "Me too. There are three children in my family. The youngest can't even ride a sheep. They are still young. If they rebel, they will have nothing!"

Who among the personal guards has no family members, and who does not yearn for stability?

Fighting on the battlefield, shrouding the corpse in horse leather, that is also the honor of the general, not theirs.

Living in the world is the greatest desire of ordinary people in Shengdou, and on the grassland, killing and fighting are much more frequent than in the Central Plains. Those of them who have never seen the family ruined on the grassland, often after a big battle, they don’t know how much they are. Families lose their husbands and sons, and a sudden snowstorm can wipe out a tribe overnight.

Now that they have a stable life and a peaceful life, this is already a very rare blessing. The imperial court allocated them pastures, cattle and sheep, and provided them with food and salt. There is milk to feed newborns, cattle and sheep have silage to survive the winter, and everything is developing in a good direction.

They are still picking up swords now to protect their hard-won lives, not to die in vain for the conspiracy of big shots and lose everything in their hands.

A personal guard said: "Let's go tell the general?"

Another personal guard echoed: "Yes, we have to tell the general!"

A group of personal guards who did not belong to the same tribe reached an agreement in this way. They secretly covered one person to inform Cao Wenzhao, while the rest stayed here. It's all about He Nayan's loyalty.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was discussing road construction with Chen Yawan.

"Thousands of miles of grassland, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and herdsmen are settled everywhere. It is obviously unrealistic to let businessmen run around. General Cao, Mr. Chen means to build a county in each of the nine pastoral areas."

"On the one hand, it is convenient to work, and on the other hand, it allows businessmen to open shops here, and encourages herdsmen in various pastoral areas to come to the county to do business."

"These nine counties are the nine nails for the imperial court to control Balian Nadu."

Listening to Chen Yawan's words, Cao Wenzhao said: "Cao understands what Chen Yawan means. If the time comes when the city needs to be built and roads built, Cao will also send someone to help."

While the two of them were talking, the guards outside the tent reported that Balian Heba's personal guards had come to ask for an interview.

important? !
Cao Wenzhao and Chen Yawan looked at each other, and Cao Wenzhao immediately said, "Let him in."

Soon, the personal guard came in and knelt down when he saw Cao Wenzhao: "I have seen the general."

Cao Wenzhao stepped forward to help the guard, and said, "You are Langba, right? I will remember you. Your family has divided up pastures in China and Pakistan, as well as hundreds of cattle and sheep. Your wife also You're about to have a baby, right?"

"What's the matter with you here? Is the distribution of government officials unreasonable, or does your family need some help? Is your wife about to give birth?"

Lang Ba's eyes turned red, General Mingren remembered his name and the situation of his family, how could he ruin his current life and disappoint the court for Na Yan's selfishness?

Lang Ba suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "General, that Yan wants to rebel!"

rebellion!

Cao Wenzhao narrowed his eyes, and then returned to normal: "Balian Heba wants to rebel?"

Lang Ba said: "Not only Balian Nayan, but also Nadu Nayan, they have linked up with the noble chiefs to plot rebellion and kill the general."

"Although we are Yan's personal guards, we have been given the grassland, cattle and sheep by the imperial court and the general's great kindness. How can we not repay the kindness, so after we discussed it, let me report the letter."

Cao Wenzhao pulled Langba up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good guy!"

"I will know about this matter, and I will accept your love."

"How are they planning to rebel?"

Lang Ba said: "We didn't hear very clearly from outside the tent. It seems that they want to contact the old ministries scattered in various pastoral areas, and then sneak attack here at night, trying to kill the general while taking advantage of the chaos."

Cao Wenzhao nodded slowly: "I already know, Langba, you go back first and act as if you don't know anything."

"After you go back, tell the others that they don't want to rebel, and they will know. If Balenheba and Nadu Erzan want to lead you to rebel, you should tie a red cloth around your left arm, and the right lapel of your clothes should be exposed. "

"Also, Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan really summoned the old department. You also tell those who don't want to rebel, tie a red cloth on the left arm and wear the right lapel of their clothes. At that time, they will not be held accountable."

Lang Ba nodded fiercely: "Remember, the left arm is red cloth, and the right lapel of the clothes is exposed!"

After Langba left, Chen Yawan said: "These noble heads are really unwilling to be lonely."

Cao Wenzhao sneered: "They really dare to think about treason!"

"I originally planned to keep them, but now it seems that I can't keep them."

"Prefect Chen, you can stay here with peace of mind, I want to see if they have the guts to rebel."

Chen Yawan reminded: "General Cao, no matter what, Balian Heba is the imperial court-appointed Balian Nadu Nayan, you can't kill him."

Cao Wenzhao nodded: "I know this well."

"Come on, gather generals!"

After a while, generals and lieutenants came and gathered in Cao Wenzhao's big tent.

Cao Wenzhao, who was wearing iron armor and fighting swords at the waist and hips, was sitting in the commander's seat. After all the generals had gathered, he said: "The general has received news that Balian Heba and Nadu Nayan are dissatisfied with the court and intend to rebel."

Huaiyuan General Li Zhao immediately became angry when he heard this: "He dares to rebel? General, please order to put them down!"

General Dingyuan Wang Lin came out: "General, the last general will take people to take them down now to see the general!"

Seeing the anger of the generals, Cao Wenzhao said, "What's the hurry?"

"Ben would have given them that opportunity."

"Aren't they going to rebel? I want to see how many people are willing to rebel with them!"

"This cancer, either don't clean it up, or clean it up once!"

"Now, the generals obey orders!"

Cao Wenzhao took out a command arrow: "Huaiyuan General Li Zhao!"

Li Zhao put on his armor and went out clasping his fists: "The end is here!"

Cao Wenzhao said: "Lead your troops and lay an ambush on the east side tonight."

Li Zhaolang said in a loud voice: "The last general has orders!"

Cao Wenzhao continued: "General Dingyuan Wang Lin."

Wang Lin put on his armor and went out to salute: "The last general is here!"

Cao Wenzhao said: "You lead your troops to ambush on the west side."

Wang Lin said: "The last general has orders!"

Cao Wenzhao continued: "Mingwei General Zhao Guangli!"

"General Guangwei Han Wu!"

"."

"You all take your positions and prepare outside. Tonight and tomorrow, but when you see the signal from the Chinese army, you will be surrounded on all sides. I want to see how many troops they can bring!"

All the generals said in unison: "Here!"

When Cao Wenzhao was dispatching troops and generals, Balenheba and Nadu Erzan also secretly summoned the leaders and nobles of the two tribes. When they heard that Cao Wenzhao was going to be killed, they seized the supplies and took them back as their own. The rights, all the heads and nobles are also screaming excitedly.

They have long wanted to kill Cao Wenzhao and become the masters of this grassland themselves!

Now that they have the opportunity, how could they bear it?
A leader said: "I'm going to gather my sons and call on everyone to rebel against the imperial court!"

Another leader stood up: "Yes! The court is not benevolent, don't blame us for being unjust, kill Cao Wenzhao, and take back everything we have!"

Seeing that people's hearts are available, Nadu Erzan nodded to Balian Heba, and Balian Heba got up and said: "Everyone, prepare well, gather all the troops tonight, and tomorrow night we will raid Cao Wenzhao's camp and kill Cao Wenzhao. Take everything back from us!"

A group of leaders and nobles applauded again and again, and immediately went down to prepare.

In one night, the chieftains and nobles really gathered a lot of old ministries in various pastures. Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan also gathered a large number of old ministries. Everyone was full of ambition and waited for the night to attack Cao Wenzhao's camp .

I can't beat you head-on, so I'm going to sneak attack, right? !
With this in mind, these noble heads are full of self-confidence. They didn't notice that they were intimidating. The expressions of the forced tribesmen were a little strange, and they didn't notice that the clothes of many people didn't seem to be customary in Mongolia. Left lapel.

In the middle of the night, Balenheba and Nadu Erzan left their dome with their personal guards. Following the signal, a large number of Mongolian cavalry gradually gathered from all directions, watching a leader and nobleman lead their respective tribes In place, Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan are also full of confidence.

Nadu Erzan said: "Brother Balian, did you see that we are the masters here, we Mongolians are wolves on the prairie, we believe in the strong and follow the wolf king, Ming people do not belong to the prairie, they If you don’t understand this, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn’t know this either.”

"Now, it's time for us to do it!"

Balianheba drew out his Nayan scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Boys! Go into the camp and capture Cao Wenzhao alive!"

"Come on!"

Following Balianheba and Nadu Erzan took the lead, the chieftains and nobles also led their troops to fight towards Cao Wenzhao's camp with torches and scimitars in a panic.

But when they smashed through the fence and rushed into the camp, they found something was wrong: Why were there fires in every tent, but no one was seen?
Why is this Chinese army camp so quiet?

What about the guards who were on duty and sentry in the past?
Just as he was wondering, the curtain of the large tent of the Chinese army was lifted, and Cao Wenzhao strode out, wearing iron leaf mountain pattern armor, wearing a pocket, holding a sword in his hand.

Watching Cao Wenzhao walk out, Balianheba and Nadu Erzan felt a little guilty for no reason, but soon they regained their composure.

Although this big battalion looks very wrong, but after all, there are [-] people fighting each other, so I have the advantage!
With such a gap in numbers, can I still be overturned? !
"You two Nayans, and the leaders, what do you intend to do with your troops here?" Cao Wenzhao's voice came.

Balen Heba took a deep breath, expelling the unreasonable guilt: "We are here to take back everything that belongs to us!"

"This grassland, cattle and sheep, and herdsmen are all ours, not the imperial court's!"

"We are willing to submit to the imperial court for a better life, not for nothing!"

Cao Wenzhao was very calm: "Why do you have nothing? The herdsmen have pastures, cattle and sheep, food, and everyone lives a peaceful life. The imperial court also provides you with food and help. Why is it not a better life? gone?"

"Is it because the herdsmen haven't lived a better life, or you people haven't lived a better life?"

Not waiting for the crowd to think wildly, Nadu Erzan shouted loudly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, kill him and take back our rights!"

Just as the leaders were about to drive their horses forward, they heard the sound of gold and iron clashing. Immediately afterwards, groups of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding flintlock guns poured out from left and right to protect Cao Wenzhao.

"Array!"

Following an order, the soldiers lined up in three rows, the front row squatted down and the back row stood upright, and the three rows of muskets stretched out, and the black barrels were aimed at the nobles in the camp.

Afterwards, a family of tigers squatted cannons, and the mother and child cannons were also carried out. The refusal deer was in place, the artillery was in place, and the open fire was fighting. Cao Wenzhao had already laid down his position.

Looking at the squads of Ming soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, Nadu Erzan's face changed: "No, Cao Wenzhao was already prepared! Now we can't hesitate, everyone rush up, as long as we kill Cao Wenzhao, we will kill Cao Wenzhao." It worked!"

The group of nobles also knew that the situation was urgent, so they shouted directly: "Follow me!"

Then they rode out and rushed out, and were shot off the horse by a burst of gunfire.

The nobles fell to the ground and were still wondering: Why didn't the sons charge after me?

A dying headman, with blood foaming from the corner of his mouth, looked at the two warriors behind that face through the light of the fire, and suddenly realized why the warriors wore right lapels and why were they showing their left arms? !
He wanted to say something, but there was too much blood gushing out, his head tilted, and he was completely out of breath.

And the deaths of these chieftains and nobles also made Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan discover the problem. The tribesmen did not follow their leaders to charge, which is not right!

Cao Wenzhao sneered and sent out a signal.

As the three fireworks bloomed in brilliant colors in the sky, the ground began to tremble, and the neighing sound of war horses could be heard from all directions, which made Balian Heba, Nadu Erzan and the rebellious chieftain nobles all turn pale!
This movement is cavalry!

And it is a large-scale cavalry!
Sure enough, in just a moment, teams of cavalrymen holding torches and holding high the banner of the Ming army rushed from all directions, and completely surrounded Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan!
Balian Heba and Nadu Erzan looked at these cavalry in disbelief. These cavalry carrying the flag of the Ming army are all warriors of their two divisions!

They are actually working for the Ming court!

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

The blood and aspirations of the nobles who followed Balenheba and Nadu Zanzan in rebellion were extinguished by the scene in front of them. They suddenly realized that rebellion means death. die!
Da, da, da, da.
The crisp sound of horseshoes came, and Cao Wenzhao rode forward on his war horse. Without looking at Balenheba and Nadu, he praised the ashen faces. He shouted loudly: "Your son who doesn't want to rebel, put down your swords. Raise your left arms, let me see the red cloth on your left arms, and see whether you are right lapels or left lapels!"

As Cao Wenzhao's words fell, a series of jingling bells and clangs could be heard endlessly. Balianheba and Nadu Erzan looked at the warriors behind them in horror, and their personal guards put down their swords and raised their left hands. , under the light of the torch, the red cloth on the bare left arm and the right lapel on the chest are so clear, so chilling.

Looking around, none of the four Wanqi raised their swords. Instead, they all put down their weapons. Their clothes were exposed to the right lapel and the left, and a red cloth was tied on their bare left arm to show their position.

This silent scene made these plotters terrified and terrified!

Balenhoba opened his mouth wide, his hands were trembling, but his throat was so dry that no sound could come out.

Nadu Erzan's face was already pale, he held his knife tremblingly and wanted to lift it up, but it seemed he couldn't control his body.

And those nobles and leaders were even more terrified. They didn't know what happened and why it happened like this!

Cao Wenzhao looked at these clowns with cold eyes: "Balianna is Daming's Balianna capital, not yours!"

"Dare to rebel in Daming, have you made up your mind to pay the price?!"
