Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 207 The Ming army rises and cuts off Tubasi’s troops!Amplify the emperor's suspicion!
Chapter 207 The Ming army rises and cuts off Tubasi’s troops!Amplify the emperor's suspicion!
It's been a long time.
The emperor's loud laughter was heard: "What a good Tao Lu! You are really sharp-tongued. No wonder you were able to penetrate deep into the enemy's camp, deceive the enemy chief, and capture the Gu Ling Tan clan!"
Taulu was so frightened that his body became weak.
"Why is this young man who went deep into the enemy's camp still scared by me?" Zhu Qiyu teased him.
"Your Majesty is as powerful as a real dragon in the world, and the students are no more than human beings. They are naturally very frightened in front of His Majesty."
Tao Lu is good at flattering, but in fact, his back is completely exposed.
Zhu Qiyu laughed out loud.
"Ou Tong, Duan Yuanyan, your parents are all famous generals!"
"Get up."
"Give a seat."
Tao Lu is the youngest one who can sit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
But he didn't dare sit down.
It's just that the butt is slightly touched.
Ou Tang was better, but Duan Yuanyan kept trembling.
He was just the son of a little chieftain, and it was his mother who made the contribution. On the way, he had already learned that there were no female generals in Ming Dynasty, so his mother seemed very embarrassed.
"Duan Yuanyan, your mother is a good general."
Zhu Qiyu saw that he was nervous, and said softly: "I plan to advance her to command her colleagues. Although she is a woman, there are precedents such as Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, Li Sanniang, etc. The Ming Dynasty can also have female generals. You should learn from your mother." .”
Duan Yuanyan never expected that the emperor had such a high opinion of his mother.
He was taught by his mother since he was a child, he knows Chinese, he has watched opera, and he knows Mu Guiying, but he doesn't know who Liang Hongyu is.
However, Tao Lu, who had read the book, was full of surprise. He knew Liang Hongyu and Li Sanniang, but who was Mu Guiying?
Mu Guiying is a character in a compilation novel during the Jiajing period.
It is Jingtai Dynasty now, and it still exists in unpopular operas.
On the contrary, Liang Hongyu and Li Sanniang are well-known figures.
Liang Hongyu is Han Shizhong's concubine, and Han Shizhong is a famous general in history.
Li Sanniang is the third daughter of Li Yuan, and Niangziguan is named after her.
"Boy, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!" Duan Yuanyan kowtowed gratefully.
"Ou Xin has the qualifications to be knighted, Ou Bor. If you enter the martial arts hall, you must not embarrass your father." Zhu Qiyu smiled at Ou Bor.
Ou Boring quickly knelt down and promised.
Zhu Qiyu has high hopes for these three people, especially Tao Lu.
"I'm going to test you. This morning, I decided to split the Northwest into four provinces, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningshan, and I want to reopen the Western Regions. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ou Boring and Duan Yuanyan were confused. We have never been to the northwest. How do we know how the northwest can prosper?
Tao Lu also did enough homework on the road, but he didn't do his homework in the northwest, so he was still asked by the emperor.
"May I ask Your Majesty, can the students take a look at the map?"
Tao Lu racked his brains, but he had no impression of Northwest in his mind.
Very embarrassing.
On the wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there is still a map that has not been disassembled, and graffiti will soon be repainted.
Feng Xiao told Tao Lu, the newly divided border.
Tao Lu gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the students think they can immigrate to Shaanxi and prosper Shaanxi first. I beg Your Majesty to rebuild Chang'an!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Speak carefully."
"After our Ming Dynasty occupied Hetao, Shaanxi became a completely inland province, no longer bordering the enemy, and became very safe."
"So the core of the northwest will be moved from Taiyuan, the place of great shape, to Chang'an, the pearl of the northwest."
"As for Chang'an, which is located in the center of Guanzhong, although it has been exhausted for many years, as long as everyone works together, rebuilding Chang'an is just around the corner."
"When Chang'an is built, we can take Chang'an as the center, westward to Liokuo River, pass through Turpan, and conquer the Western Regions."
Tao Lu seems to have said a lot, but in fact he only said one sentence, build Chang'an.
It can be seen that this question stumped him.
"Speak concisely." Zhu Qiyu doesn't like to listen to nonsense.
"Your Majesty, first of all, build Chang'an and rebuild the Guanzhong Fortress."
"Secondly, more immigrants will revitalize Guanzhong's business."
"Thirdly, Guanzhong is exhausted and cannot bear too many people. Therefore, we must protect the water and soil and reopen the Silk Road."
What Taulu said is a cliché.
Zhu Qiyu was slightly dissatisfied with Tao Lu's strategic vision.
"Tao Lu, the evil in Guanzhong lies in people's hearts." Zhu Qiyu didn't make things difficult for him, after all, he was a child.
Tauru knew that the emperor was not satisfied with his answer.
"You haven't been to Guanzhong, and you haven't seen much information."
"It's normal not to know."
"After the Liao, Jin, Meng and Yuan Dynasties, Guanzhong has been dominated by Semu people and Hu people, and it is no longer the Guanzhong of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"That's why I said that to govern Guanzhong, the first thing is to govern the heart."
"As long as people in Guanzhong agree with Da Ming from the bottom of their hearts, they recognize that they are Han people, not Hui Hui, and they are sincerely willing to shed their blood for Da Ming, and any difficulties will not be difficulties."
Zhu Qiyu showed his face: "Get up, you have such insights at such a young age, it's not bad."
"When you enter the lecture hall, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"You are like a dragon or a phoenix among people in Yulin, but in Beijing, where the world's talents gather here, you still want to stand out, so you have to work harder than others."
"Learning is your only key to success."
Zhu Qiyu encouraged learning.
Tao Lu hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
"It's the same for you two. When you enter the martial arts hall, you must study hard, and you must not let me down, let down your parents' hearts."
"Boy, thank Your Majesty for your instruction!" The three of them kowtowed in unison.
Tao Lu knelt down again and told his father Tao Cheng's words of thanks.
Zhu Qiyu was greatly moved: "I see Tao Cheng's loyalty to me."
Send away three people.
Feng Xiao reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Fang has sent more than 700 castrated children. Where do you think they should be placed?"
"Fang Ying has a heart."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Let's go to the inner study hall. In the past, the inner study hall invited the Hanlin Academy to give lectures. From today on, the lectures will be given by learned eunuchs."
"The palace is the affairs of the palace, outsiders are not allowed to intervene."
"Understand?"
The bachelor attendant lectured to the eunuchs, and slowly led the eunuchs astray, and the eunuchs would become the puppets of civil officials in the palace.
Zhu Qiyu asked these chieftain children who did not understand Chinese to learn Chinese and knowledge.
It is to put an end to these people, who will be eroded by civil officials and will become his wings in the future.
"Servant understands!" Feng Xiao kowtowed.
"It's useless to read too many principles, you have to learn to be down-to-earth and do things down-to-earth." Zhu Qiyu urged.
Just as Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, he remembered another thing: "Ou Xin wrote a letter, wanting to take Duan Si'e as his concubine."
"What does the emperor mean?" Feng Xiao asked carefully.
"Duan Si'e is a general. It's a bit wronged to be Ou Xin's concubine. Give him a flat wife. Give her a special license to fight with the army. First, I will give you a fourth-rank man. In the future, you can be knighted according to your military achievements."
Feng Xiao was surprised, he did not expect the emperor to love Duan Si'e so much.
Also, the emperor favors women a lot. I heard that many women in the capital set up longevity tablets for the emperor at home to express their gratitude to him.
"Slaves are going to pass the decree!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Tell Ou Xin that I hope he will be Han Shizhong, and Duan Si'e will be Liang Hongyu of the Ming Dynasty!"
Feng Xiao could see that the emperor deliberately set too high the social status of Ou Xin and Duan Si'e.
No one was praising Ou Xin, so he, the emperor, might as well do it himself.
And in Shanxi, Datong.
Shu Liang smacked the case angrily: "Damn Gong Hui! He got together with a traitor. What is he going to do? Rebellion?"
He, the eunuch, was actually the governor of Shanxi.
He is plowing Shanxi.
Yu Shan and Yu Gang also had to obey orders.
At this moment, he is in Datong, personally recruiting troops.
Guo Deng personally accompanied him.
"Why is the factory owner so angry?" Xu Ning asked in a low voice.
Xu Ning is the son of Xu Gui and the grandson of Xu Cheng, the uncle of Yongxin. Because he has no life certificate, he has no title.
"Private affairs of Dongchang."
Shu Liang suppressed his anger, thinking about writing an apology at night, Chen Yu Your Majesty:
"Let's get down to business. The emperor ordered Shanxi to immigrate to Guangxi and Hetao through conscription. What do you two think?"
He knew that the emperor valued Xu Gui, so he looked at Xu Ning differently.
Needless to say, Guo Deng was the emperor's confidant.
"Master, Biaoxia thinks this is not easy." Xu Ning dared to say anything.
"Why?"
Xu Ning smiled wryly: "The court governs Shanxi very well. Although the people can't live a prosperous life, at least they don't go hungry. If they don't go hungry, who wants to be a ghost from a foreign land!"
This is true. Although Shanxi is not rich, it is certainly not poor.
Because Shanxi people are good at doing business.
There are still massive coal mines underground, and the people are not short of food and clothing, so naturally they are unwilling to leave their hometown.
He looked at Yang Ning, the governor of Datong.
Yang Ning smiled bitterly: "Xu Youyi is right. People in Shanxi are willing to do business but not to be soldiers. Even if the central government recruits troops, I'm afraid it will be in vain."
"Then what can I do?" Shu Liang was also at a loss.
What the center sees are only numbers, and cannot see the real situation of the people.
"I'm afraid we can only conscript them by force." Shanxi governor Shen Gu said with a wry smile.
"Forcible conscripts are absolutely not acceptable. If the emperor is held accountable, no one will be able to walk around!" Shu Liang was in trouble.
Just when Shu Liang was in trouble.
However, Fan Guang had already led his army westward, first sent a letter to Zhenyuan Pass, contacted Zhenyuan Pass, and then contacted Kou Shen in Gansu Town.
From the moment he entered Gansu, what Kou Shen saw was desolation.
It may be difficult for Gansu to prosper within a hundred years.
The key is that this place is located on the front line. Even if it is rebuilt, it will be reduced to ashes in a war, so it is better not to rebuild.
Kou Shen also had a headache.
He wrote a letter to the central government, and the emperor's imperial pen approved the construction of Gansu regardless of the consequences.
Kou Shen knew that the emperor did not break his promise at the beginning.
At this time, Kou Shen received a report from Ganzhou Guardian that a large-scale cavalry was crossing the border.
"It seems that the more than 1 cavalry in front are just the vanguard."
Kou Shen looked in the direction of Hetao: "I don't know if the former chief envoy has received my message or not."
Before he left Beijing, he brought three generals, Tao Jin, Yang Jie and Li Duan.
These three men are all governors, participated in the defense of Beijing, and all have military exploits.
Especially Tao Jin, who was known as a capable general. He originally served in Shanxi, but was transferred by the emperor to follow him to Gansu.
"Sir, will this cavalry come to the grassland to seek refuge with someone like the cavalry of the Timur Khanate?"
Tao Jin was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to contact this group of cavalry and ask about their purpose."
"No!"
Kou Shen shook his head: "There are not many soldiers in Gansu Province, so we cannot go out at will."
Tao Jin glanced at Yang Jie and Li Duan, feeling very aggrieved.
I thought I came to Gansu to show off my skills.
As a result, no one would have thought that there were only [-] people in Gansu Town, all of whom were old and weak, and less than [-] were able to fight, and they had to guard the fortress.
When Kou Shen came to Gansu, he made drastic reforms.
Abolish the old and weak, re-conscription, and practice battle formation.
But now we only have more than 1 people.
Can't stand consumption.
They are all new troops, and it is easy to collapse without fighting on the battlefield.
At this time, Fan Guang came with a message.
Kou Shen knew the whole story of the Tubasi tribe, and his eyes lit up: "The Han people despise the desolation of Gansu, but these barbarians certainly don't despise it."
"If our whales swallow 10,000+ people, there will be no shortage of people in Gansu."
"I will be able to show my ambition."
He also wants to govern Gansu.
The problem is that there is no one in Gansu, so who will he govern.
Simply put, he also wants to learn from Sun Yuanzhen, force the Mongols to stay, and become naturalized as a Gansu native.
Sun Yuanzhen made a bad start.
"Sir, there are only more than 1 of us, so what are we going to fight for?" Tao Jin asked him to wake up quickly and stop dreaming.
"Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg."
Kou Shen is deliberately making things mysterious.
Ask someone to prepare paper and ink, and he immediately replies.
When this group of cavalry crosses, Gansu Town will send troops to cut off the rear, but Gansu Town will divide all the prisoners in half.
Tao Jin was dumbfounded, you are too good at deceiving, right?
More than 1 people, cut off the way for 10,000+ people?
Can Fan Guang believe it?
"Soldiers never tire of deceit, we call this a white lie." Kou Shen was complacent and sent someone to deliver the letter.
"Deploy all the troops and concentrate them in Juyeze. I will fight this battle myself!" Kou Shen is also a military and political all-rounder.
"Sir, all troops are mobilized? Are the borders no longer guarded?" Yang Jie asked innocently.
Kou Shen rolled his eyes at him: "Gansu is so broken, who do you think can come to grab it? Loess loess?"
"Hurry up and send a message. Except for the 1000 people left behind by the Suzhou Guard, all the rest of the soldiers will be transferred here!"
"When 10,000+ people are surrendered, at least we officials in Gansu will be in charge."
Tao Jin, Yang Jie, and Li Duan all nodded.
Everyone knows that Gansu is barren, but they don’t know that the barrenness has become this dead. There are less than 20 people, and there are only 5 to [-] Han people. Who can believe it?
Gansu town is in turmoil.
Ningxia Wei also moved.
Fan Guang dispersed the army along the way, with Shenying as the vanguard.
Of the 71 riders in Shenying's family, there are only fifty people left.
The cavalrymen were made to have three horses per person, one horse to carry the armor, and one horse to ride on.
Twenty-six thousand war horses were gathered.
There are a lot of war horses in Hetao now, and after Datong Town and Xuan Town left the customs and crossed the Great Wall, the territory was pushed northward.
The price of war horses dropped rapidly in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the price of raising horses has soared sharply, and an industry chain of grooms for raising horses has also been born.
Fan Guang has about 3 people.
All cavalry musketeers.
In the sky, wolf smoke ignited.
"My lord, the signal from Zhenyuan Pass, that cavalry is already approaching Zhenyuan Pass!" The messenger came to report.
Fan Guang decided to set up an ambush along the Dusi Tu River.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, the cavalry turned back and headed west.
"broken!"
"It must be that I haven't heard from Tuoba Ti for a long time."
"Scare the prey away!"
Fan Guang reacted too late.
The Ningxia Guard has cut off the return route of the cavalry.
When Fan Guang arrived, Ningxia Wei had already been overwhelmed.
That cavalry force was like a black torrent, heading west.
Fan Guang led his army in pursuit.
On the grassland outside the Great Wall, two torrents chase each other.
The Bald Bas tribe entered the Alxa Desert.
When the Alxa Desert was in Xixia, it used to be an important channel for communication between east and west, and it was very prosperous, but it was destroyed by successive years of wars, and now it has become an endless desert.
The Mongolian people are good at running, and when they enter the desert, they can also rely on their super willpower to get out of the desert.
The most important thing is that the Tubasi people are fully prepared for the migration and have brought enough food. They can survive a year in the desert.
Because they drove horses, cattle and sheep on the march, they could eat horses, cattle and sheep to satisfy their hunger when they were hungry.
Fan Guang was in trouble.
He sent troops without food supplies, and the nearest supply was at Zhenyuan Pass.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to go deep into the desert!" Shenying asked for a fight.
Fan Guang was not in a hurry to make a decision: "Bring me the map."
"The Tubasi people probably came out of the desert, so they are very familiar with the desert and will not get lost if they go in."
The map is not exhaustive.
Fortunately, Zhenyuanguan sent a detailed map.
The Alxa Desert is divided into Badain Jaran Desert, Tengger Desert and Ulan Buhe Desert.
Between Badain Jaran Desert and Tengger Desert, the area is narrow.
Take this road to reach Juye Ze.
That’s the key to getting out of the desert, an oasis.
After passing through Juye Ze, it is a smooth road heading west.
"If Gansu Town sends troops to guard the enemy's throat, where will they be stationed?" Fan Guang asked Shenying and others.
Shenying and the others were surprised: "Your Excellency, you mean that Master Kou set up an ambush in Juye Ze?"
"must."
Zhenyuan Pass has been devastated.
More than 4000 soldiers were lost.
If Gansu Town is strangled again, he, Fan Guang, will be involved.
"My lord, can you save me?" Fang Neng wiped the sweat off his face, the weather on the edge of the desert was too hot.
"save!"
Fan Guang didn't say anything, he had to be saved, there was no need to discuss it.
"What about supplies?" Tan Xu asked.
Fan Guang gritted his teeth and said: "We have no supplies, so we will rob their cattle and sheep to eat!"
"A living person cannot be choked to death by urinating!"
"Send the order, go to the nearest place to get water, get enough water, and then enter the desert!"
"Transfer the most grain from Ningxia Wei and borrow as many horses as you need."
"Fan Sheng, visit Ningxia Wei yourself, find some guides, and lead us out of the desert!"
at the same time.
Cao Jixiang tortured Ding Xuan severely.
"Stop beating, I said it, I said it!" Ding Xuan kept screaming, and it was his wife and children who executed him!
On the contrary, for a childless person like Qin Zhao, interrogating him is a waste of time.
Ding Xuan's daughter is really cruel.
Take a soldering iron and burn his own father's bottom.
Ding Xuan was covered in blood and was extremely miserable.
Cao Jixiang drank tea happily. The tea was delicious with the aroma of meat.
The emperor issued an order to arrest all merchants from Jiangnan and investigate them one by one.
The patrol camp's prison sentence can no longer be released.
Borrowed from Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.
"continue."
No alcohol is allowed during duty.
Otherwise, Cao Jixiang would have to have a few drinks. Looking at this scene, I feel a little refreshed.
Ding Xuan's daughter trembled and continued to bake. Except for the unfamiliar technique, her eyes were cold.
It must be useless.
He can't get out of prison anyway, so what's the use of that thing?
Let's play with it.
"I said it all, I said it..." Ding Xuan kept begging for mercy.
But Cao Jixiang likes to hear this sound.
"Cao Xuan, make another pot."
Cao Xuan couldn't bear the smell of meat, rushed out and vomited.
"What a waste." Cao Jixiang thought of his heir, Cao Qin, who could inherit his mantle. The other nephews are all very mediocre, which is a pity.
"I said! I said!" Ding Xuan wanted to say.
The problem is that Cao Jixiang doesn't want to hear it.
His daughter was burned.
Miserable.
Cao Jixiang was full of stomach, went out to use the toilet, came back after a while, waved his hand, and asked someone to drag Ding Xuan over.
Ding Xuan kept wailing.
His wife, concubine and children were also weeping.
"Aren't these people your wives, concubines and children?" Cao Jixiang asked him.
Ding Xuan was dumbfounded.
Those wives, concubines and children all knelt on the ground with horror on their faces.
Cao Jixiang pointed to the daughter who was being executed: "You branded your own father without any sense of guilt, and your techniques became more and more skillful."
"And you, can you cry? Don't let it thunder or rain. The governor looks uncomfortable." Cao Jixiang pointed to Ding Xuan's second son.
"You, too, covered your eyes with your hands when you were crying, but when you took them off, there wasn't a single tear on your hands."
"There are too many flaws."
"I think you have many secrets."
Ding Xuan opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect so many flaws.
"Do you want to have a good time? Or continue to be tortured?" Cao Jixiang stared at Ding Xuan.
Ding Xuan closed his eyes in despair: "The villain is a member of the Jiang Zuo League!"
"Speak carefully."
According to Ding Xuan, Jiangzuo League is omnipotent.
The Jiangzuo League has a list.
The list is in the hands of the alliance leader, who relies on this list to contact members of the alliance in a single line.
In the early days, the Jiangzuo League would support the members of the alliance and engage in politics and business, but the members of the alliance must wait to be awakened and must be prepared to give everything for the alliance.
Cao Jixiang's eyes flashed.
This is dead time!
Emperor Xuanzong loved to use death time the most, especially eight years after Xuande. He buried a lot of death time and placed it in many departments, waiting for it to bear fruit.
And this Jiang Zuo League doesn't look like the handwriting of a certain businessman.
It's more like someone's handwriting standing on the court.
What is the purpose?
Cao Jixiang suddenly interrogated Qin Zhao.
They also interrogated all Ding Xuan's wives, concubines, and children, as well as many of the arrested members.
The results were gathered into a memorial and sent to the palace.
Cao Jixiang went to send it off in person.
"Your Majesty, this servant guessed that this was the work of the late Emperor!" Cao Jixiang asked Zhu Qiyu to step back and secretly report.
Zhu Qiyu stared: "Tell me carefully."
"The servant girl also heard about Xing'an."
"In the eighth year of Xuande's reign, delegations from fifteen countries came to Beijing for pilgrimage to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."
"But in the ninth year of Xuande, the late emperor sent Wang Jinghong to the West again, but the late emperor did not wait for Wang Jinghong to come back."
"In the ninth year of Xuande, after the first emperor visited the border, he died suddenly in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande."
"Xing'an said that during this period of time, the late emperor had thought of expanding the size of the Songjiang shipyard, then massively increasing the number of ships built, increasing the scale of cruising, and continuing to expand the scale of voyages to the West."
"Indeed, the first emperor conceived of replacing the agricultural tax with prosperous commerce and restoring the tax law of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, so that the people would not be so tired."
"But it's just an idea, because the late emperor passed away suddenly!"
Cao Jixiang recounted: "Xing'an once said that during this period, the late emperor used factory guards to frequently appear in southern Zhili."
"My servant suspects that this so-called Jiangzuo Alliance is a secret chess game laid by the late emperor."
Zhu Qiyu was secretly annoyed.
If Xing'an had not died, those moments of death would have been his own.
pity.
"You mean, this Jiangzuo Alliance is the late emperor's chess game?" Zhu Qiyu naturally suspected Zhu Qizhen.
"Go back to the emperor, the servants are [-]% sure."
Cao Jixiang said.
Only a specially trained dead man can be so loyal.
The Jiangzuo League is huge, and it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen, and the oldest courtier is Hu Wei.
Could it be that Hu Hui has a disobedient heart?
Totally impossible.
Cao Jixiang did not dare to elaborate, but he pointed his sword at Zhu Qizhen.
"If it was really time to die, why did you rebel against the imperial court?" Zhu Qiyu wondered.
"My lord, you are the emperor, and there are others who are also emperors!" Cao Jixiang prostrated himself on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
He was thinking, what is Zhu Qizhen doing with these bastards?
What kind of Jiangzuo alliance, wait for Zhenli to clean up Jiangnan to see if there is any alliance left?
Is this the Jiangnan gentry taking the opportunity to demonstrate to me?
After the sea ban, who is the biggest beneficiary?
Do you need to elaborate?
"Cao Jixiang, do you also think that the death of the late emperor is unusual?" Zhu Qiyu focused on this.
"Back to the emperor, the slaves dare not speculate."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Everyone in this palace is my confidant. Don't worry, it won't spread."
"My lord, the late emperor just came back from his border tour in September of the ninth year of Xuande, and there are still people alive on the road."
"It is even said that the late emperor was in very good health before his death."
"Just like your Majesty, you suddenly became seriously ill and died three days later!"
Cao Jixiang said these are taboo words.
Zhu Qiyu stepped into it and muttered to himself: "In three days, the late emperor will be gone."
"I too, fell ill out of nowhere, and almost died."
"Emperor Renzong, too."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as cold as ice: "Is this emperor of the Ming Dynasty doomed to not live long?"
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the servants in the palace were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground.
"My lord, since the late emperor passed away, he has never been to the west again." Cao Jixiang aggravated the emperor's suspicion.
Feng Xiao said: "In the eighth year of Zhengtong, the King of Mobei ordered Ma Yun and others to sail to the West again."
Cao Jixiang retorted: "Although they sailed to the west, the fleet was scattered."
"Only a few ships returned to the Ming Dynasty."
"And it's been 13 years of Orthodoxy."
"It took five years for only a few people to come back!"
"The life and death of the eunuch Hong Bao, the leader of the fleet, is unknown."
"Chuwang who came back also came back from Yunnan by land. When he came back, Chuwang had already become a monk and was left at Baoen Temple in Nanjing by King Mobei."
"But Chuwang disappeared in the 14th year of Orthodoxy!"
"The palace was supposed to investigate, but the civil fortress was defeated, and this matter has never been investigated again."
Cao Jixiang looked at Feng Xiao: "Eunuch Feng, tell me, is this a voyage to the West?"
Feng Xiao curled his lips.
Indeed, Orthodoxy's eight-year voyage to the West can only be described as a joke.
Zhao Wang and others who came back couldn't even tell where they went.
The mighty treasure ships came back, but they were all small boats.
Where did the treasure ship go?
"My lord, in the 14th year of orthodoxy, the fleet of Ming Dynasty has disappeared mysteriously." Cao Jixiang aggravated the emperor's suspicion.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "The 14th year of Orthodoxy has been a troubled year."
Cao Jixiang prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say more.
"You mean, the first emperor died on a voyage to the west and patrolling the border?" Zhu Qiyu understood.
"Slaves dare not speculate on the late emperor!" Cao Jixiang quickly kowtowed.
But the meaning is very clear, the first emperor died on these two points.
The late emperor was also careless.
Because he never thought that Emperor Xuande would die of an inexplicable illness.
Just like Emperor Jingtai, he also died of an illness.
Which one of the Zhengtong Emperor, Chenghua Emperor, Hongzhi Emperor and Zhengde Emperor died normally?Who has lived past 40?
"I know."
Zhu Qiyu pondered: "According to your speculation, Ding Xuan should be someone who was deliberately left to me by the Jiang Zuo League to show me and beat me."
That's right.
Yong Ding Xuan indirectly told the emperor the cause of Emperor Xuanzong's death.
Let the emperor be afraid.
"I beg the emperor to make a decree that the slaves and servants will go to Nanzhili and arrest all the merchants from Jiangnan!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed.
"The Jiangzuo Alliance will not achieve anything great."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Cao Jixiang, just show me the capital."
He stood up slowly and walked in front of Cao Jixiang: "You are my minion. If I can give you power and wealth, if you change the emperor, you will be gone."
What is he thinking?
Can Zhu Qiyu not understand?
Those who are factory guards can play a real role only if the emperor becomes more suspicious.
Everyone has their own little abacus.
"I hope your Majesty will be at ease. I will always be loyal to your Majesty!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed heavily to show his loyalty.
"Loyalty is not something you say, it has to be done."
Zhu Qiyu helped him up with his own hands: "The patrolling battalion performed very well, and I will give you a bronze talisman."
"Thank you, my servant, for the grace of the emperor!" Cao Jixiang broke out in cold sweat.
The emperor was beating him.
Tell him, don't play tricks, my Xichang can take care of you.
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao: "Has the inventory been completed?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the count has not been completed yet. The current figure is 1200 million taels."
Zhu Qiyu was startled: "So many?"
Feng Xiao was also taken aback by this number, it was really a lot.
"My lord, I only counted 2000% of them, and the total is about [-] million taels."
I have money, but I don't know how to spend it.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth naturally raised, and he was in a happy mood: "After the investigation, if it is confirmed that there is no mistake, return the family property and give them some business to make up for it."
"Your Majesty, do you really want to pay me back?" Feng Xiao felt distressed.
"I am the emperor, how can I be a robber?"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "What should be paid back, what should not be paid back, and what should not be paid back, do you understand?"
Feng Xiao understood.
The meaning of the emperor is to keep the cash, jewelry and antiques, and return as much as possible. If it is not enough, just give a house to cover the debt.
Anyway, the market price of antiques is low now.
It is better to directly make a high price and sell it to merchants.
The court wants silver everywhere.
Didn't you watch it, the cabinet ministers looked at the emperor eagerly every day, and the governors from all over the country were crying for Naiju.
"By the way, Xuan Shipu has entered the palace."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "It's been a long time since I went to Renshou Palace to say hello? You can make arrangements, and I'll go to say hello tonight."
"Slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao understood that the emperor's suspicion had fallen again.
In Juye Ze.
Kou was confused: "Are you sure? That cavalry is crossing the desert and heading in our direction?"
"My lord, I saw it with my own eyes!" Li Duan's mouth was bitter.
They ate sand here for more than ten days.
Just waiting to make a great contribution.
As a result, great success did not come, but disaster came.
"Why the return trip!" Kou Shen was really confused.
Who knows?
"My lord, let's withdraw!" Yang Jie glanced at the troops, all of them were lazy, and they didn't look like an army at all.
The army was formed less than two months ago.
It’s okay to fight against the wind.
Fight against the wind and surrender every minute.
"Do you know where Fan Guang is?" Kou Shen asked again.
Li Duan shook his head and said he didn't know.
"If Fan Guang falls into that group of cavalry, we might be able to fight." Kou Shen looked at the map repeatedly.
"My lord, fight with these people?"
Yang Jie was very speechless. There were less than 3000 veterans in Gansu Town, and these 3000 people could go to the battlefield.
For the rest, just practice for another year.
"Don't worry."
Kou Shen studied the map: "Our place is the main route to the west."
"If we get out of the way."
"If Fan Guang falls behind, he may never be able to catch up with this cavalry."
"If we don't get out of the way, as long as the opponent charges, we will definitely lose."
"It's hard to choose."
Kou Shen fell into deep thought: "Let the night stop and check again, let's see how the cavalry looks like? Is there any chasing troops? Where is our Ming army?"
And in the desert.
Fan Guang took off his shirt and was shirtless. The entire cavalry was similar, and the armor could no longer be worn.
It's too hot in the desert.
When they were training, they had never been trained in the desert, so many of them were not adapted to the climate and fell ill.
Downsizing along the way.
He left people to take care of them, and transported the wounded out of the desert to the nearest town for treatment.
The food I carried with me was almost gone.
Patience has also been worn away.
There were complaints in the army and they wanted to fight urgently.
"My lord, our army has no patience. If we compare our hearts with our hearts, the Bald Bass will be even more distracted."
Fang can come and report.
Fan Guang nodded: "We have a small force, so we have to seize every opportunity."
"Sir, I am willing to go get food!" Fang Neng asked for a fight.
Fourteen days into the desert.
The Ming army has gradually become accustomed to the desert environment. Although the bald Bass is falling, the Ming army practiced in the desert, how to ride horses and how to fire guns.
Fan Guang took a sip of water, not daring to waste a drop.
He asked the guide: "How long does it take to reach Juye Ze?"
"Return to the adults, up to four days." The guide replied.
Fan Guang looked at Fang Neng.
"Sir, now must be the most vulnerable time for Tubasi." Fang Neng thought.
The Bald Bas tribe is a migration of the entire tribe, and there are many old people, women, and children in it. The marching speed is slow and the consumption is high.
The more people there are, the more chaotic people will be.
Moreover, they came from Qianhe, and they have been walking for several months, and they are still going. At the critical moment, there are pursuers behind, and there is no news from the former army, so it is inevitable that they feel anxious.
The mentality must have reached a tipping point.
"Fang Neng, go out and fight!"
Fang Neng received the order to gather 2000 people, and the horseshoes rolled up the yellow sand and galloped the horses.
Quickly approach the Bald Bath Department.
The leader of the Bald Basi tribe changed his name to Tuoba Yuan.
Because during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba changed his surname to Yuan, so he called himself "Yuan".
Tuoba Yuan already knew that his younger brother Tuoba Ti was defeated and captured.
He is going to go nomadic at the eastern foot of Altun Mountain.
Don't go within the Ming army's sphere of influence.
But because it was a tribal migration, it brought him a lot of trouble.
He has [-] cavalry in his hands.
If the losses are too great, the herdsmen in the tribe can also be recruited. As long as there are enough weapons, they can pull up an army of [-].
The Tubas tribe was very poor and did not have enough weapons.
Tuoba Ti fell in love with the Ming army's guns.
As a result, he sent people thousands of miles away and gave more than 2 horses to the Ming army.
Fang Neng led the army to arrive in the blink of an eye.
His target was the cattle and sheep that Bald Bath was driving.
The Mongolian expedition to Europe relied on these four-legged sheep. They used the sheep as military rations and ate them while driving them away.
"Damn, the defense is tight enough!"
When the house could get closer, Tubasi's cavalry surrounded the cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen began to drive the cattle and sheep toward safety.
Use cavalry to separate the cattle and sheep from Fang Neng's army.
Fang Neng smiled at them.
"Fire!"
clap clap clap!
The firecrackers sounded.
The Tubasi tribesmen were still waiting for the fire with their faces full of confusion.
As a result, countless people fell.
Fang Neng led the army to arrive in the blink of an eye, and the saber fell.
Countless horses fell in the desert.
The bald Barth cavalry screamed incessantly: "Ghost, the ghost is coming!"
The chaos spread to the cavalry.
Tuoba Yuan asked urgently: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming people were transformed by ghosts. They were so far away from us, so they opened fire, and our people died in the blink of an eye."
The Bald Bassi people are incoherent.
But Tuoba Yuan understood clearly that the Ming army's muskets were powerful and had a long range.
"I personally supervise the formation, let's see who dares to mess up!" He rode his horse and ran to the front of the formation.
It turned out that the Ming army raised the gun.
He ran quickly.
When Tuoba Yuan arrived, the morale of the army was greatly shaken.
As a result, Tuoba Yuan turned his head and fled, and the morale of the army immediately collapsed.
clap clap clap!
The blunderbuss opened fire, hitting the backs of countless Bald Bath soldiers.
Fang Neng personally led the army of long swords, swooping in quickly, waving the blades like the scythe of death, constantly harvesting lives.
Tubasi's rear army collapsed instantly.
Fang Neng did not chase after him, but just robbed the cattle and sheep.
At this time, Fan Jiong arrived on horseback.
After chasing for a few miles, I found that I couldn't catch up with the defeated soldiers of the Bald Bath Division.
"These Tatars are so good at running for their lives."
Fang Neng Fan Jiong helped gather the cattle and sheep, and the army relied on these cattle and sheep for food and drink for the past four days.
Fan Guang arrived with the crowd and counted the number of cattle and sheep, which was about 1000.
"That's all?" Fan Guang was upset.
"My lord, our people don't know how to drive cattle and sheep, they all ran away." Fang Neng scratched his hair, very embarrassed.
The results were originally very gratifying.
It turned out that the Ming army did not know how to herd sheep, so the sheep ran away. Fortunately, the cattle ran slowly and there were still a few left.
"How much gunpowder did you use?" Fan Guang didn't ask about the result.
In the desert, as long as there are firecrackers, the Ming army will have an advantage.
"Half of it is left." Fang Neng thought it was very economical.
Fan Guang was a little dissatisfied: "Next time, use less, we don't have supplies before and after, so we have to use as much as we bring."
"The war has just begun, and I don't know how long it will take."
Although Fan Guang has a bad temper, he treats his subordinates sincerely and is willing to tolerate their mistakes.
So the subordinates are willing to serve.
"Mark your mistake." Fang Neng pleaded guilty.
Fan Guang patted him on the shoulder: "Just remember."
"Shenying!"
Shenying was dismantling a cow and planned to have the butcher cut it up, but he was actually greedy.
"The mark is here!" Shenying came over quickly.
"The Bald Bass Department will definitely not be reconciled. Tonight, the camp may be attacked. You will be on the garrison and watch the night."
"Submit the order!" Shenying didn't care, and being able to eat beef was better than anything else.
"My lord, those thieves are too good at running for their lives. I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep them all in the desert." Fan Jiong didn't call him father, but called him an official.
Fan Guang glanced at him: "Can you use your brain?"
Fan Jiong scratched his hair, very embarrassed.
"When did I say that I would leave them in the desert with all my might?"
Fan Guang asked back: "We are hanging on to them, waiting for them to be exhausted, and then eating them!"
"But they escaped so fast!" Fan Jiong was puzzled.
"That's because they can still have enough to eat, so they will naturally have the strength to run."
Fan Guang laughed and said, "When they don't have enough to eat, they will think of a hungry and crazy lion and fight us to the death!"
"When it's time for the decisive battle, don't cry, kid, I'll be content!"
Fan Guang laughed out loud, and his son has grown up.
Alas, I’m very upset to give away my dog that I’ve had for nearly three years!The author likes dogs, but hates cleaning up dog poop and so on. My mother takes care of it, but my mother's health is very poor. This year, her health has become even worse. She has a fever every day.I think she felt bad because raising a dog added a lot of work, so she had no choice but to decide not to keep a dog. She decided to give it away and find a good home to send it away. But she felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. Oh, it felt so uncomfortable~
(End of this chapter)
It's been a long time.
The emperor's loud laughter was heard: "What a good Tao Lu! You are really sharp-tongued. No wonder you were able to penetrate deep into the enemy's camp, deceive the enemy chief, and capture the Gu Ling Tan clan!"
Taulu was so frightened that his body became weak.
"Why is this young man who went deep into the enemy's camp still scared by me?" Zhu Qiyu teased him.
"Your Majesty is as powerful as a real dragon in the world, and the students are no more than human beings. They are naturally very frightened in front of His Majesty."
Tao Lu is good at flattering, but in fact, his back is completely exposed.
Zhu Qiyu laughed out loud.
"Ou Tong, Duan Yuanyan, your parents are all famous generals!"
"Get up."
"Give a seat."
Tao Lu is the youngest one who can sit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
But he didn't dare sit down.
It's just that the butt is slightly touched.
Ou Tang was better, but Duan Yuanyan kept trembling.
He was just the son of a little chieftain, and it was his mother who made the contribution. On the way, he had already learned that there were no female generals in Ming Dynasty, so his mother seemed very embarrassed.
"Duan Yuanyan, your mother is a good general."
Zhu Qiyu saw that he was nervous, and said softly: "I plan to advance her to command her colleagues. Although she is a woman, there are precedents such as Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, Li Sanniang, etc. The Ming Dynasty can also have female generals. You should learn from your mother." .”
Duan Yuanyan never expected that the emperor had such a high opinion of his mother.
He was taught by his mother since he was a child, he knows Chinese, he has watched opera, and he knows Mu Guiying, but he doesn't know who Liang Hongyu is.
However, Tao Lu, who had read the book, was full of surprise. He knew Liang Hongyu and Li Sanniang, but who was Mu Guiying?
Mu Guiying is a character in a compilation novel during the Jiajing period.
It is Jingtai Dynasty now, and it still exists in unpopular operas.
On the contrary, Liang Hongyu and Li Sanniang are well-known figures.
Liang Hongyu is Han Shizhong's concubine, and Han Shizhong is a famous general in history.
Li Sanniang is the third daughter of Li Yuan, and Niangziguan is named after her.
"Boy, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!" Duan Yuanyan kowtowed gratefully.
"Ou Xin has the qualifications to be knighted, Ou Bor. If you enter the martial arts hall, you must not embarrass your father." Zhu Qiyu smiled at Ou Bor.
Ou Boring quickly knelt down and promised.
Zhu Qiyu has high hopes for these three people, especially Tao Lu.
"I'm going to test you. This morning, I decided to split the Northwest into four provinces, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningshan, and I want to reopen the Western Regions. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ou Boring and Duan Yuanyan were confused. We have never been to the northwest. How do we know how the northwest can prosper?
Tao Lu also did enough homework on the road, but he didn't do his homework in the northwest, so he was still asked by the emperor.
"May I ask Your Majesty, can the students take a look at the map?"
Tao Lu racked his brains, but he had no impression of Northwest in his mind.
Very embarrassing.
On the wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there is still a map that has not been disassembled, and graffiti will soon be repainted.
Feng Xiao told Tao Lu, the newly divided border.
Tao Lu gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the students think they can immigrate to Shaanxi and prosper Shaanxi first. I beg Your Majesty to rebuild Chang'an!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Speak carefully."
"After our Ming Dynasty occupied Hetao, Shaanxi became a completely inland province, no longer bordering the enemy, and became very safe."
"So the core of the northwest will be moved from Taiyuan, the place of great shape, to Chang'an, the pearl of the northwest."
"As for Chang'an, which is located in the center of Guanzhong, although it has been exhausted for many years, as long as everyone works together, rebuilding Chang'an is just around the corner."
"When Chang'an is built, we can take Chang'an as the center, westward to Liokuo River, pass through Turpan, and conquer the Western Regions."
Tao Lu seems to have said a lot, but in fact he only said one sentence, build Chang'an.
It can be seen that this question stumped him.
"Speak concisely." Zhu Qiyu doesn't like to listen to nonsense.
"Your Majesty, first of all, build Chang'an and rebuild the Guanzhong Fortress."
"Secondly, more immigrants will revitalize Guanzhong's business."
"Thirdly, Guanzhong is exhausted and cannot bear too many people. Therefore, we must protect the water and soil and reopen the Silk Road."
What Taulu said is a cliché.
Zhu Qiyu was slightly dissatisfied with Tao Lu's strategic vision.
"Tao Lu, the evil in Guanzhong lies in people's hearts." Zhu Qiyu didn't make things difficult for him, after all, he was a child.
Tauru knew that the emperor was not satisfied with his answer.
"You haven't been to Guanzhong, and you haven't seen much information."
"It's normal not to know."
"After the Liao, Jin, Meng and Yuan Dynasties, Guanzhong has been dominated by Semu people and Hu people, and it is no longer the Guanzhong of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"That's why I said that to govern Guanzhong, the first thing is to govern the heart."
"As long as people in Guanzhong agree with Da Ming from the bottom of their hearts, they recognize that they are Han people, not Hui Hui, and they are sincerely willing to shed their blood for Da Ming, and any difficulties will not be difficulties."
Zhu Qiyu showed his face: "Get up, you have such insights at such a young age, it's not bad."
"When you enter the lecture hall, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"You are like a dragon or a phoenix among people in Yulin, but in Beijing, where the world's talents gather here, you still want to stand out, so you have to work harder than others."
"Learning is your only key to success."
Zhu Qiyu encouraged learning.
Tao Lu hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
"It's the same for you two. When you enter the martial arts hall, you must study hard, and you must not let me down, let down your parents' hearts."
"Boy, thank Your Majesty for your instruction!" The three of them kowtowed in unison.
Tao Lu knelt down again and told his father Tao Cheng's words of thanks.
Zhu Qiyu was greatly moved: "I see Tao Cheng's loyalty to me."
Send away three people.
Feng Xiao reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Fang has sent more than 700 castrated children. Where do you think they should be placed?"
"Fang Ying has a heart."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Let's go to the inner study hall. In the past, the inner study hall invited the Hanlin Academy to give lectures. From today on, the lectures will be given by learned eunuchs."
"The palace is the affairs of the palace, outsiders are not allowed to intervene."
"Understand?"
The bachelor attendant lectured to the eunuchs, and slowly led the eunuchs astray, and the eunuchs would become the puppets of civil officials in the palace.
Zhu Qiyu asked these chieftain children who did not understand Chinese to learn Chinese and knowledge.
It is to put an end to these people, who will be eroded by civil officials and will become his wings in the future.
"Servant understands!" Feng Xiao kowtowed.
"It's useless to read too many principles, you have to learn to be down-to-earth and do things down-to-earth." Zhu Qiyu urged.
Just as Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, he remembered another thing: "Ou Xin wrote a letter, wanting to take Duan Si'e as his concubine."
"What does the emperor mean?" Feng Xiao asked carefully.
"Duan Si'e is a general. It's a bit wronged to be Ou Xin's concubine. Give him a flat wife. Give her a special license to fight with the army. First, I will give you a fourth-rank man. In the future, you can be knighted according to your military achievements."
Feng Xiao was surprised, he did not expect the emperor to love Duan Si'e so much.
Also, the emperor favors women a lot. I heard that many women in the capital set up longevity tablets for the emperor at home to express their gratitude to him.
"Slaves are going to pass the decree!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Tell Ou Xin that I hope he will be Han Shizhong, and Duan Si'e will be Liang Hongyu of the Ming Dynasty!"
Feng Xiao could see that the emperor deliberately set too high the social status of Ou Xin and Duan Si'e.
No one was praising Ou Xin, so he, the emperor, might as well do it himself.
And in Shanxi, Datong.
Shu Liang smacked the case angrily: "Damn Gong Hui! He got together with a traitor. What is he going to do? Rebellion?"
He, the eunuch, was actually the governor of Shanxi.
He is plowing Shanxi.
Yu Shan and Yu Gang also had to obey orders.
At this moment, he is in Datong, personally recruiting troops.
Guo Deng personally accompanied him.
"Why is the factory owner so angry?" Xu Ning asked in a low voice.
Xu Ning is the son of Xu Gui and the grandson of Xu Cheng, the uncle of Yongxin. Because he has no life certificate, he has no title.
"Private affairs of Dongchang."
Shu Liang suppressed his anger, thinking about writing an apology at night, Chen Yu Your Majesty:
"Let's get down to business. The emperor ordered Shanxi to immigrate to Guangxi and Hetao through conscription. What do you two think?"
He knew that the emperor valued Xu Gui, so he looked at Xu Ning differently.
Needless to say, Guo Deng was the emperor's confidant.
"Master, Biaoxia thinks this is not easy." Xu Ning dared to say anything.
"Why?"
Xu Ning smiled wryly: "The court governs Shanxi very well. Although the people can't live a prosperous life, at least they don't go hungry. If they don't go hungry, who wants to be a ghost from a foreign land!"
This is true. Although Shanxi is not rich, it is certainly not poor.
Because Shanxi people are good at doing business.
There are still massive coal mines underground, and the people are not short of food and clothing, so naturally they are unwilling to leave their hometown.
He looked at Yang Ning, the governor of Datong.
Yang Ning smiled bitterly: "Xu Youyi is right. People in Shanxi are willing to do business but not to be soldiers. Even if the central government recruits troops, I'm afraid it will be in vain."
"Then what can I do?" Shu Liang was also at a loss.
What the center sees are only numbers, and cannot see the real situation of the people.
"I'm afraid we can only conscript them by force." Shanxi governor Shen Gu said with a wry smile.
"Forcible conscripts are absolutely not acceptable. If the emperor is held accountable, no one will be able to walk around!" Shu Liang was in trouble.
Just when Shu Liang was in trouble.
However, Fan Guang had already led his army westward, first sent a letter to Zhenyuan Pass, contacted Zhenyuan Pass, and then contacted Kou Shen in Gansu Town.
From the moment he entered Gansu, what Kou Shen saw was desolation.
It may be difficult for Gansu to prosper within a hundred years.
The key is that this place is located on the front line. Even if it is rebuilt, it will be reduced to ashes in a war, so it is better not to rebuild.
Kou Shen also had a headache.
He wrote a letter to the central government, and the emperor's imperial pen approved the construction of Gansu regardless of the consequences.
Kou Shen knew that the emperor did not break his promise at the beginning.
At this time, Kou Shen received a report from Ganzhou Guardian that a large-scale cavalry was crossing the border.
"It seems that the more than 1 cavalry in front are just the vanguard."
Kou Shen looked in the direction of Hetao: "I don't know if the former chief envoy has received my message or not."
Before he left Beijing, he brought three generals, Tao Jin, Yang Jie and Li Duan.
These three men are all governors, participated in the defense of Beijing, and all have military exploits.
Especially Tao Jin, who was known as a capable general. He originally served in Shanxi, but was transferred by the emperor to follow him to Gansu.
"Sir, will this cavalry come to the grassland to seek refuge with someone like the cavalry of the Timur Khanate?"
Tao Jin was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to contact this group of cavalry and ask about their purpose."
"No!"
Kou Shen shook his head: "There are not many soldiers in Gansu Province, so we cannot go out at will."
Tao Jin glanced at Yang Jie and Li Duan, feeling very aggrieved.
I thought I came to Gansu to show off my skills.
As a result, no one would have thought that there were only [-] people in Gansu Town, all of whom were old and weak, and less than [-] were able to fight, and they had to guard the fortress.
When Kou Shen came to Gansu, he made drastic reforms.
Abolish the old and weak, re-conscription, and practice battle formation.
But now we only have more than 1 people.
Can't stand consumption.
They are all new troops, and it is easy to collapse without fighting on the battlefield.
At this time, Fan Guang came with a message.
Kou Shen knew the whole story of the Tubasi tribe, and his eyes lit up: "The Han people despise the desolation of Gansu, but these barbarians certainly don't despise it."
"If our whales swallow 10,000+ people, there will be no shortage of people in Gansu."
"I will be able to show my ambition."
He also wants to govern Gansu.
The problem is that there is no one in Gansu, so who will he govern.
Simply put, he also wants to learn from Sun Yuanzhen, force the Mongols to stay, and become naturalized as a Gansu native.
Sun Yuanzhen made a bad start.
"Sir, there are only more than 1 of us, so what are we going to fight for?" Tao Jin asked him to wake up quickly and stop dreaming.
"Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg."
Kou Shen is deliberately making things mysterious.
Ask someone to prepare paper and ink, and he immediately replies.
When this group of cavalry crosses, Gansu Town will send troops to cut off the rear, but Gansu Town will divide all the prisoners in half.
Tao Jin was dumbfounded, you are too good at deceiving, right?
More than 1 people, cut off the way for 10,000+ people?
Can Fan Guang believe it?
"Soldiers never tire of deceit, we call this a white lie." Kou Shen was complacent and sent someone to deliver the letter.
"Deploy all the troops and concentrate them in Juyeze. I will fight this battle myself!" Kou Shen is also a military and political all-rounder.
"Sir, all troops are mobilized? Are the borders no longer guarded?" Yang Jie asked innocently.
Kou Shen rolled his eyes at him: "Gansu is so broken, who do you think can come to grab it? Loess loess?"
"Hurry up and send a message. Except for the 1000 people left behind by the Suzhou Guard, all the rest of the soldiers will be transferred here!"
"When 10,000+ people are surrendered, at least we officials in Gansu will be in charge."
Tao Jin, Yang Jie, and Li Duan all nodded.
Everyone knows that Gansu is barren, but they don’t know that the barrenness has become this dead. There are less than 20 people, and there are only 5 to [-] Han people. Who can believe it?
Gansu town is in turmoil.
Ningxia Wei also moved.
Fan Guang dispersed the army along the way, with Shenying as the vanguard.
Of the 71 riders in Shenying's family, there are only fifty people left.
The cavalrymen were made to have three horses per person, one horse to carry the armor, and one horse to ride on.
Twenty-six thousand war horses were gathered.
There are a lot of war horses in Hetao now, and after Datong Town and Xuan Town left the customs and crossed the Great Wall, the territory was pushed northward.
The price of war horses dropped rapidly in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the price of raising horses has soared sharply, and an industry chain of grooms for raising horses has also been born.
Fan Guang has about 3 people.
All cavalry musketeers.
In the sky, wolf smoke ignited.
"My lord, the signal from Zhenyuan Pass, that cavalry is already approaching Zhenyuan Pass!" The messenger came to report.
Fan Guang decided to set up an ambush along the Dusi Tu River.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, the cavalry turned back and headed west.
"broken!"
"It must be that I haven't heard from Tuoba Ti for a long time."
"Scare the prey away!"
Fan Guang reacted too late.
The Ningxia Guard has cut off the return route of the cavalry.
When Fan Guang arrived, Ningxia Wei had already been overwhelmed.
That cavalry force was like a black torrent, heading west.
Fan Guang led his army in pursuit.
On the grassland outside the Great Wall, two torrents chase each other.
The Bald Bas tribe entered the Alxa Desert.
When the Alxa Desert was in Xixia, it used to be an important channel for communication between east and west, and it was very prosperous, but it was destroyed by successive years of wars, and now it has become an endless desert.
The Mongolian people are good at running, and when they enter the desert, they can also rely on their super willpower to get out of the desert.
The most important thing is that the Tubasi people are fully prepared for the migration and have brought enough food. They can survive a year in the desert.
Because they drove horses, cattle and sheep on the march, they could eat horses, cattle and sheep to satisfy their hunger when they were hungry.
Fan Guang was in trouble.
He sent troops without food supplies, and the nearest supply was at Zhenyuan Pass.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to go deep into the desert!" Shenying asked for a fight.
Fan Guang was not in a hurry to make a decision: "Bring me the map."
"The Tubasi people probably came out of the desert, so they are very familiar with the desert and will not get lost if they go in."
The map is not exhaustive.
Fortunately, Zhenyuanguan sent a detailed map.
The Alxa Desert is divided into Badain Jaran Desert, Tengger Desert and Ulan Buhe Desert.
Between Badain Jaran Desert and Tengger Desert, the area is narrow.
Take this road to reach Juye Ze.
That’s the key to getting out of the desert, an oasis.
After passing through Juye Ze, it is a smooth road heading west.
"If Gansu Town sends troops to guard the enemy's throat, where will they be stationed?" Fan Guang asked Shenying and others.
Shenying and the others were surprised: "Your Excellency, you mean that Master Kou set up an ambush in Juye Ze?"
"must."
Zhenyuan Pass has been devastated.
More than 4000 soldiers were lost.
If Gansu Town is strangled again, he, Fan Guang, will be involved.
"My lord, can you save me?" Fang Neng wiped the sweat off his face, the weather on the edge of the desert was too hot.
"save!"
Fan Guang didn't say anything, he had to be saved, there was no need to discuss it.
"What about supplies?" Tan Xu asked.
Fan Guang gritted his teeth and said: "We have no supplies, so we will rob their cattle and sheep to eat!"
"A living person cannot be choked to death by urinating!"
"Send the order, go to the nearest place to get water, get enough water, and then enter the desert!"
"Transfer the most grain from Ningxia Wei and borrow as many horses as you need."
"Fan Sheng, visit Ningxia Wei yourself, find some guides, and lead us out of the desert!"
at the same time.
Cao Jixiang tortured Ding Xuan severely.
"Stop beating, I said it, I said it!" Ding Xuan kept screaming, and it was his wife and children who executed him!
On the contrary, for a childless person like Qin Zhao, interrogating him is a waste of time.
Ding Xuan's daughter is really cruel.
Take a soldering iron and burn his own father's bottom.
Ding Xuan was covered in blood and was extremely miserable.
Cao Jixiang drank tea happily. The tea was delicious with the aroma of meat.
The emperor issued an order to arrest all merchants from Jiangnan and investigate them one by one.
The patrol camp's prison sentence can no longer be released.
Borrowed from Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.
"continue."
No alcohol is allowed during duty.
Otherwise, Cao Jixiang would have to have a few drinks. Looking at this scene, I feel a little refreshed.
Ding Xuan's daughter trembled and continued to bake. Except for the unfamiliar technique, her eyes were cold.
It must be useless.
He can't get out of prison anyway, so what's the use of that thing?
Let's play with it.
"I said it all, I said it..." Ding Xuan kept begging for mercy.
But Cao Jixiang likes to hear this sound.
"Cao Xuan, make another pot."
Cao Xuan couldn't bear the smell of meat, rushed out and vomited.
"What a waste." Cao Jixiang thought of his heir, Cao Qin, who could inherit his mantle. The other nephews are all very mediocre, which is a pity.
"I said! I said!" Ding Xuan wanted to say.
The problem is that Cao Jixiang doesn't want to hear it.
His daughter was burned.
Miserable.
Cao Jixiang was full of stomach, went out to use the toilet, came back after a while, waved his hand, and asked someone to drag Ding Xuan over.
Ding Xuan kept wailing.
His wife, concubine and children were also weeping.
"Aren't these people your wives, concubines and children?" Cao Jixiang asked him.
Ding Xuan was dumbfounded.
Those wives, concubines and children all knelt on the ground with horror on their faces.
Cao Jixiang pointed to the daughter who was being executed: "You branded your own father without any sense of guilt, and your techniques became more and more skillful."
"And you, can you cry? Don't let it thunder or rain. The governor looks uncomfortable." Cao Jixiang pointed to Ding Xuan's second son.
"You, too, covered your eyes with your hands when you were crying, but when you took them off, there wasn't a single tear on your hands."
"There are too many flaws."
"I think you have many secrets."
Ding Xuan opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect so many flaws.
"Do you want to have a good time? Or continue to be tortured?" Cao Jixiang stared at Ding Xuan.
Ding Xuan closed his eyes in despair: "The villain is a member of the Jiang Zuo League!"
"Speak carefully."
According to Ding Xuan, Jiangzuo League is omnipotent.
The Jiangzuo League has a list.
The list is in the hands of the alliance leader, who relies on this list to contact members of the alliance in a single line.
In the early days, the Jiangzuo League would support the members of the alliance and engage in politics and business, but the members of the alliance must wait to be awakened and must be prepared to give everything for the alliance.
Cao Jixiang's eyes flashed.
This is dead time!
Emperor Xuanzong loved to use death time the most, especially eight years after Xuande. He buried a lot of death time and placed it in many departments, waiting for it to bear fruit.
And this Jiang Zuo League doesn't look like the handwriting of a certain businessman.
It's more like someone's handwriting standing on the court.
What is the purpose?
Cao Jixiang suddenly interrogated Qin Zhao.
They also interrogated all Ding Xuan's wives, concubines, and children, as well as many of the arrested members.
The results were gathered into a memorial and sent to the palace.
Cao Jixiang went to send it off in person.
"Your Majesty, this servant guessed that this was the work of the late Emperor!" Cao Jixiang asked Zhu Qiyu to step back and secretly report.
Zhu Qiyu stared: "Tell me carefully."
"The servant girl also heard about Xing'an."
"In the eighth year of Xuande's reign, delegations from fifteen countries came to Beijing for pilgrimage to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."
"But in the ninth year of Xuande, the late emperor sent Wang Jinghong to the West again, but the late emperor did not wait for Wang Jinghong to come back."
"In the ninth year of Xuande, after the first emperor visited the border, he died suddenly in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande."
"Xing'an said that during this period of time, the late emperor had thought of expanding the size of the Songjiang shipyard, then massively increasing the number of ships built, increasing the scale of cruising, and continuing to expand the scale of voyages to the West."
"Indeed, the first emperor conceived of replacing the agricultural tax with prosperous commerce and restoring the tax law of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, so that the people would not be so tired."
"But it's just an idea, because the late emperor passed away suddenly!"
Cao Jixiang recounted: "Xing'an once said that during this period, the late emperor used factory guards to frequently appear in southern Zhili."
"My servant suspects that this so-called Jiangzuo Alliance is a secret chess game laid by the late emperor."
Zhu Qiyu was secretly annoyed.
If Xing'an had not died, those moments of death would have been his own.
pity.
"You mean, this Jiangzuo Alliance is the late emperor's chess game?" Zhu Qiyu naturally suspected Zhu Qizhen.
"Go back to the emperor, the servants are [-]% sure."
Cao Jixiang said.
Only a specially trained dead man can be so loyal.
The Jiangzuo League is huge, and it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen, and the oldest courtier is Hu Wei.
Could it be that Hu Hui has a disobedient heart?
Totally impossible.
Cao Jixiang did not dare to elaborate, but he pointed his sword at Zhu Qizhen.
"If it was really time to die, why did you rebel against the imperial court?" Zhu Qiyu wondered.
"My lord, you are the emperor, and there are others who are also emperors!" Cao Jixiang prostrated himself on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
He was thinking, what is Zhu Qizhen doing with these bastards?
What kind of Jiangzuo alliance, wait for Zhenli to clean up Jiangnan to see if there is any alliance left?
Is this the Jiangnan gentry taking the opportunity to demonstrate to me?
After the sea ban, who is the biggest beneficiary?
Do you need to elaborate?
"Cao Jixiang, do you also think that the death of the late emperor is unusual?" Zhu Qiyu focused on this.
"Back to the emperor, the slaves dare not speculate."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Everyone in this palace is my confidant. Don't worry, it won't spread."
"My lord, the late emperor just came back from his border tour in September of the ninth year of Xuande, and there are still people alive on the road."
"It is even said that the late emperor was in very good health before his death."
"Just like your Majesty, you suddenly became seriously ill and died three days later!"
Cao Jixiang said these are taboo words.
Zhu Qiyu stepped into it and muttered to himself: "In three days, the late emperor will be gone."
"I too, fell ill out of nowhere, and almost died."
"Emperor Renzong, too."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as cold as ice: "Is this emperor of the Ming Dynasty doomed to not live long?"
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the servants in the palace were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground.
"My lord, since the late emperor passed away, he has never been to the west again." Cao Jixiang aggravated the emperor's suspicion.
Feng Xiao said: "In the eighth year of Zhengtong, the King of Mobei ordered Ma Yun and others to sail to the West again."
Cao Jixiang retorted: "Although they sailed to the west, the fleet was scattered."
"Only a few ships returned to the Ming Dynasty."
"And it's been 13 years of Orthodoxy."
"It took five years for only a few people to come back!"
"The life and death of the eunuch Hong Bao, the leader of the fleet, is unknown."
"Chuwang who came back also came back from Yunnan by land. When he came back, Chuwang had already become a monk and was left at Baoen Temple in Nanjing by King Mobei."
"But Chuwang disappeared in the 14th year of Orthodoxy!"
"The palace was supposed to investigate, but the civil fortress was defeated, and this matter has never been investigated again."
Cao Jixiang looked at Feng Xiao: "Eunuch Feng, tell me, is this a voyage to the West?"
Feng Xiao curled his lips.
Indeed, Orthodoxy's eight-year voyage to the West can only be described as a joke.
Zhao Wang and others who came back couldn't even tell where they went.
The mighty treasure ships came back, but they were all small boats.
Where did the treasure ship go?
"My lord, in the 14th year of orthodoxy, the fleet of Ming Dynasty has disappeared mysteriously." Cao Jixiang aggravated the emperor's suspicion.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "The 14th year of Orthodoxy has been a troubled year."
Cao Jixiang prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say more.
"You mean, the first emperor died on a voyage to the west and patrolling the border?" Zhu Qiyu understood.
"Slaves dare not speculate on the late emperor!" Cao Jixiang quickly kowtowed.
But the meaning is very clear, the first emperor died on these two points.
The late emperor was also careless.
Because he never thought that Emperor Xuande would die of an inexplicable illness.
Just like Emperor Jingtai, he also died of an illness.
Which one of the Zhengtong Emperor, Chenghua Emperor, Hongzhi Emperor and Zhengde Emperor died normally?Who has lived past 40?
"I know."
Zhu Qiyu pondered: "According to your speculation, Ding Xuan should be someone who was deliberately left to me by the Jiang Zuo League to show me and beat me."
That's right.
Yong Ding Xuan indirectly told the emperor the cause of Emperor Xuanzong's death.
Let the emperor be afraid.
"I beg the emperor to make a decree that the slaves and servants will go to Nanzhili and arrest all the merchants from Jiangnan!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed.
"The Jiangzuo Alliance will not achieve anything great."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Cao Jixiang, just show me the capital."
He stood up slowly and walked in front of Cao Jixiang: "You are my minion. If I can give you power and wealth, if you change the emperor, you will be gone."
What is he thinking?
Can Zhu Qiyu not understand?
Those who are factory guards can play a real role only if the emperor becomes more suspicious.
Everyone has their own little abacus.
"I hope your Majesty will be at ease. I will always be loyal to your Majesty!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed heavily to show his loyalty.
"Loyalty is not something you say, it has to be done."
Zhu Qiyu helped him up with his own hands: "The patrolling battalion performed very well, and I will give you a bronze talisman."
"Thank you, my servant, for the grace of the emperor!" Cao Jixiang broke out in cold sweat.
The emperor was beating him.
Tell him, don't play tricks, my Xichang can take care of you.
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao: "Has the inventory been completed?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the count has not been completed yet. The current figure is 1200 million taels."
Zhu Qiyu was startled: "So many?"
Feng Xiao was also taken aback by this number, it was really a lot.
"My lord, I only counted 2000% of them, and the total is about [-] million taels."
I have money, but I don't know how to spend it.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth naturally raised, and he was in a happy mood: "After the investigation, if it is confirmed that there is no mistake, return the family property and give them some business to make up for it."
"Your Majesty, do you really want to pay me back?" Feng Xiao felt distressed.
"I am the emperor, how can I be a robber?"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "What should be paid back, what should not be paid back, and what should not be paid back, do you understand?"
Feng Xiao understood.
The meaning of the emperor is to keep the cash, jewelry and antiques, and return as much as possible. If it is not enough, just give a house to cover the debt.
Anyway, the market price of antiques is low now.
It is better to directly make a high price and sell it to merchants.
The court wants silver everywhere.
Didn't you watch it, the cabinet ministers looked at the emperor eagerly every day, and the governors from all over the country were crying for Naiju.
"By the way, Xuan Shipu has entered the palace."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "It's been a long time since I went to Renshou Palace to say hello? You can make arrangements, and I'll go to say hello tonight."
"Slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao understood that the emperor's suspicion had fallen again.
In Juye Ze.
Kou was confused: "Are you sure? That cavalry is crossing the desert and heading in our direction?"
"My lord, I saw it with my own eyes!" Li Duan's mouth was bitter.
They ate sand here for more than ten days.
Just waiting to make a great contribution.
As a result, great success did not come, but disaster came.
"Why the return trip!" Kou Shen was really confused.
Who knows?
"My lord, let's withdraw!" Yang Jie glanced at the troops, all of them were lazy, and they didn't look like an army at all.
The army was formed less than two months ago.
It’s okay to fight against the wind.
Fight against the wind and surrender every minute.
"Do you know where Fan Guang is?" Kou Shen asked again.
Li Duan shook his head and said he didn't know.
"If Fan Guang falls into that group of cavalry, we might be able to fight." Kou Shen looked at the map repeatedly.
"My lord, fight with these people?"
Yang Jie was very speechless. There were less than 3000 veterans in Gansu Town, and these 3000 people could go to the battlefield.
For the rest, just practice for another year.
"Don't worry."
Kou Shen studied the map: "Our place is the main route to the west."
"If we get out of the way."
"If Fan Guang falls behind, he may never be able to catch up with this cavalry."
"If we don't get out of the way, as long as the opponent charges, we will definitely lose."
"It's hard to choose."
Kou Shen fell into deep thought: "Let the night stop and check again, let's see how the cavalry looks like? Is there any chasing troops? Where is our Ming army?"
And in the desert.
Fan Guang took off his shirt and was shirtless. The entire cavalry was similar, and the armor could no longer be worn.
It's too hot in the desert.
When they were training, they had never been trained in the desert, so many of them were not adapted to the climate and fell ill.
Downsizing along the way.
He left people to take care of them, and transported the wounded out of the desert to the nearest town for treatment.
The food I carried with me was almost gone.
Patience has also been worn away.
There were complaints in the army and they wanted to fight urgently.
"My lord, our army has no patience. If we compare our hearts with our hearts, the Bald Bass will be even more distracted."
Fang can come and report.
Fan Guang nodded: "We have a small force, so we have to seize every opportunity."
"Sir, I am willing to go get food!" Fang Neng asked for a fight.
Fourteen days into the desert.
The Ming army has gradually become accustomed to the desert environment. Although the bald Bass is falling, the Ming army practiced in the desert, how to ride horses and how to fire guns.
Fan Guang took a sip of water, not daring to waste a drop.
He asked the guide: "How long does it take to reach Juye Ze?"
"Return to the adults, up to four days." The guide replied.
Fan Guang looked at Fang Neng.
"Sir, now must be the most vulnerable time for Tubasi." Fang Neng thought.
The Bald Bas tribe is a migration of the entire tribe, and there are many old people, women, and children in it. The marching speed is slow and the consumption is high.
The more people there are, the more chaotic people will be.
Moreover, they came from Qianhe, and they have been walking for several months, and they are still going. At the critical moment, there are pursuers behind, and there is no news from the former army, so it is inevitable that they feel anxious.
The mentality must have reached a tipping point.
"Fang Neng, go out and fight!"
Fang Neng received the order to gather 2000 people, and the horseshoes rolled up the yellow sand and galloped the horses.
Quickly approach the Bald Bath Department.
The leader of the Bald Basi tribe changed his name to Tuoba Yuan.
Because during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba changed his surname to Yuan, so he called himself "Yuan".
Tuoba Yuan already knew that his younger brother Tuoba Ti was defeated and captured.
He is going to go nomadic at the eastern foot of Altun Mountain.
Don't go within the Ming army's sphere of influence.
But because it was a tribal migration, it brought him a lot of trouble.
He has [-] cavalry in his hands.
If the losses are too great, the herdsmen in the tribe can also be recruited. As long as there are enough weapons, they can pull up an army of [-].
The Tubas tribe was very poor and did not have enough weapons.
Tuoba Ti fell in love with the Ming army's guns.
As a result, he sent people thousands of miles away and gave more than 2 horses to the Ming army.
Fang Neng led the army to arrive in the blink of an eye.
His target was the cattle and sheep that Bald Bath was driving.
The Mongolian expedition to Europe relied on these four-legged sheep. They used the sheep as military rations and ate them while driving them away.
"Damn, the defense is tight enough!"
When the house could get closer, Tubasi's cavalry surrounded the cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen began to drive the cattle and sheep toward safety.
Use cavalry to separate the cattle and sheep from Fang Neng's army.
Fang Neng smiled at them.
"Fire!"
clap clap clap!
The firecrackers sounded.
The Tubasi tribesmen were still waiting for the fire with their faces full of confusion.
As a result, countless people fell.
Fang Neng led the army to arrive in the blink of an eye, and the saber fell.
Countless horses fell in the desert.
The bald Barth cavalry screamed incessantly: "Ghost, the ghost is coming!"
The chaos spread to the cavalry.
Tuoba Yuan asked urgently: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming people were transformed by ghosts. They were so far away from us, so they opened fire, and our people died in the blink of an eye."
The Bald Bassi people are incoherent.
But Tuoba Yuan understood clearly that the Ming army's muskets were powerful and had a long range.
"I personally supervise the formation, let's see who dares to mess up!" He rode his horse and ran to the front of the formation.
It turned out that the Ming army raised the gun.
He ran quickly.
When Tuoba Yuan arrived, the morale of the army was greatly shaken.
As a result, Tuoba Yuan turned his head and fled, and the morale of the army immediately collapsed.
clap clap clap!
The blunderbuss opened fire, hitting the backs of countless Bald Bath soldiers.
Fang Neng personally led the army of long swords, swooping in quickly, waving the blades like the scythe of death, constantly harvesting lives.
Tubasi's rear army collapsed instantly.
Fang Neng did not chase after him, but just robbed the cattle and sheep.
At this time, Fan Jiong arrived on horseback.
After chasing for a few miles, I found that I couldn't catch up with the defeated soldiers of the Bald Bath Division.
"These Tatars are so good at running for their lives."
Fang Neng Fan Jiong helped gather the cattle and sheep, and the army relied on these cattle and sheep for food and drink for the past four days.
Fan Guang arrived with the crowd and counted the number of cattle and sheep, which was about 1000.
"That's all?" Fan Guang was upset.
"My lord, our people don't know how to drive cattle and sheep, they all ran away." Fang Neng scratched his hair, very embarrassed.
The results were originally very gratifying.
It turned out that the Ming army did not know how to herd sheep, so the sheep ran away. Fortunately, the cattle ran slowly and there were still a few left.
"How much gunpowder did you use?" Fan Guang didn't ask about the result.
In the desert, as long as there are firecrackers, the Ming army will have an advantage.
"Half of it is left." Fang Neng thought it was very economical.
Fan Guang was a little dissatisfied: "Next time, use less, we don't have supplies before and after, so we have to use as much as we bring."
"The war has just begun, and I don't know how long it will take."
Although Fan Guang has a bad temper, he treats his subordinates sincerely and is willing to tolerate their mistakes.
So the subordinates are willing to serve.
"Mark your mistake." Fang Neng pleaded guilty.
Fan Guang patted him on the shoulder: "Just remember."
"Shenying!"
Shenying was dismantling a cow and planned to have the butcher cut it up, but he was actually greedy.
"The mark is here!" Shenying came over quickly.
"The Bald Bass Department will definitely not be reconciled. Tonight, the camp may be attacked. You will be on the garrison and watch the night."
"Submit the order!" Shenying didn't care, and being able to eat beef was better than anything else.
"My lord, those thieves are too good at running for their lives. I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep them all in the desert." Fan Jiong didn't call him father, but called him an official.
Fan Guang glanced at him: "Can you use your brain?"
Fan Jiong scratched his hair, very embarrassed.
"When did I say that I would leave them in the desert with all my might?"
Fan Guang asked back: "We are hanging on to them, waiting for them to be exhausted, and then eating them!"
"But they escaped so fast!" Fan Jiong was puzzled.
"That's because they can still have enough to eat, so they will naturally have the strength to run."
Fan Guang laughed and said, "When they don't have enough to eat, they will think of a hungry and crazy lion and fight us to the death!"
"When it's time for the decisive battle, don't cry, kid, I'll be content!"
Fan Guang laughed out loud, and his son has grown up.
Alas, I’m very upset to give away my dog that I’ve had for nearly three years!The author likes dogs, but hates cleaning up dog poop and so on. My mother takes care of it, but my mother's health is very poor. This year, her health has become even worse. She has a fever every day.I think she felt bad because raising a dog added a lot of work, so she had no choice but to decide not to keep a dog. She decided to give it away and find a good home to send it away. But she felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. Oh, it felt so uncomfortable~
