Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 092

The guards informed him to come in immediately, Ren Rishang quickly walked into the room, and commanded the adults with military courtesy, and loudly announced his identity.

There was a brazier in the room, and two people were sitting by the brazier and chatting over the fire. Both of them were wearing Yanju uniforms. He is gray and white, but he is not angry and majestic while staring at him, making people forget his age at the first sight, only his tiger-like majesty and majesty rushes into his heart.

Ren Rishang recognized him as Mr. Han Mianhan, the Commander of Peking Capital.

There was another person sitting next to him. He looked very young, but he looked like 35, but he could sit opposite Commander Han very calmly, and he didn't know who he was.This man's figure looks masculine and powerful, with very sharp facial lines, firm lips with slightly pursed corners, a straight nose bridge, bronze skin, and a beautiful beard growing under his jaw.He was looking down at the charcoal fire, with a calm expression on his face, but when Ren Rishang first came in, he gave him a slight glance, but that look was extremely stern and terrifying.

Commander Han Du asked, "What's the matter?"

Ren Rishang looked at the middle-aged man, hesitant to speak.Commander Han smiled, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be taboo, you can speak up about public and private matters."

Ren Rishang thought to himself that the man was Commander Han's confidant, so he recounted his conversation with Xia Xun and Gao Sheng carefully, and finally said: "The goods of more than a hundred vehicles, Mr. Qianhu I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a decision, so I ask the Commander to make a decision on this matter."

After hearing this, Han Yi's complexion became very ugly. He wanted to express his closeness in front of that person, but he never expected that what Ren Rishang said was such an embarrassing thing.It is illegal, it is hidden under formal rules, it is a customary and commonplace thing, but it is not easy to put on the table.

The man smiled softly, although Ren Rishang did not hear the laughter, he clearly felt that he was smiling, but when he looked up, the man was still stirring the charcoal as if nothing had happened, as if no one was there.

"Okay, I see, you... go down first, this matter... I will give you an answer later."

As soon as Ren Rixia was paid out, Han Yi stood up, turned around, ran down in front of the middle-aged man, and kowtowed in panic: "My lord, I'm guilty."

In Beiping, besides King Yan, can there be another prince?It turned out that this heroic middle-aged man was actually Yan Wang Zhu Di.

"Hehe, Yizhi, get up." Zhu Di put down the stove and helped Commander Han up with a smile.

"I've heard about these things a long time ago. It doesn't matter. Damn it, the truth is the truth, but if you really follow the truth, you can't do anything. As long as it is so What is beneficial to the country and the people, it is nothing to touch the great law.”

Zhu Di patted Han Yi on the shoulder to appease his uneasiness, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "At the beginning of the founding of our Great Ming Kingdom, my father also thought of showing off the troops outside the Great Wall and taking the leaders of all tribes and tribes in the grassland. The brains are all cleaned up, and the prairie is under control. This is the fundamental way to solve the frequent southward invasion of the grassland. But it doesn't work, and it can't be done with the ability of Hanwu Tangzong."

He raised his finger to the north, and said loudly: "The grassland is too big, its territory is no less than the territory of the Central Plains. The land is either a grassland or a desert. The land is sparsely populated. There are neither cities nor passes. Those who ride on horses are cunning." Yes, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can’t fight, you can avoid it. If you send one hundred thousand troops, you need millions of people to nourish them. If you send one million troops, the whole country will be ruined. It's just a drop in the ocean, and it won't help much.

Ten years ago, Sapphire fought in Yuerhai, which completely disintegrated the prestige of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The Golden Family lost its supremacy in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Many big tribes no longer recognize the Genghis Khan Golden Family. The supremacy of the ruling power on the grassland, they have become self-reliant one after another, and started continuous internal strife, well, this is exactly what we want to see. "

Zhu Di strode back and sat down by the brazier, put a few pieces of charcoal on the ground with a brazier, and said, "Old Han, look, what kind of strategies my father has been adopting all these years, neither can possess, My father immediately changed the method—restraint. From the outside, my father managed the Jurchen forces in the northeast, and then conquered the territory of Eastern Mongolia, set up guards there, cut off the connection between North Yuan and North Korea and Jurchen, and never The east, west, and south sides surrounded and suppressed them.

From the inside of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, my father is pulling and pulling, pulling some people, beating some people, and for those who can be won, my father will send envoys to tell them to surrender wholeheartedly, and they are willing to come. The father and emperor returned his old land and engaged in childbearing, and Hua Yi was seamless.

For those elm-headed people who are determined to be enemies with my Daming, I will instigate them to continue fighting among themselves. Only when they are about to hug each other, my father will break them up with a heavy punch. Let them continue to be scattered.Smart, this is the only way to check and balance. "

Zhu Di's remarks can be said to have made a brief and clear summary of Zhu Yuanzhang's evolution and development of Bei Yuan's military strategy from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to recent years.In fact, after several victorious battles with the Beiyuan armed forces, including the great victory when Sapphire went straight to the Fishing Sea (Lake Baikal) ten years ago, the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty has realized that completely occupying and It was impossible to rule the grassland, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were still very strong at that time.

The remnants of the Bei Yuan in the early Ming Dynasty were not weak. The reason why they gave people a very weak impression was because the Han army was too powerful in the early Ming Dynasty, and the Bei Yuan lost more than they won.When the Battle of Jingnan took place in the Central Plains, they were too busy killing each other and fighting for the dominance of the grasslands, and had no time to look south. Therefore, the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty seemed to have ceased to exist. It is further strengthened, but of course it is not the case.

In fact, within two years after the Battle of Jingnan, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty split into two countries, one was Tatar and the other was Oala.Anyone who is familiar with history knows that any of these countries once posed such a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.And any one of these forces is only half of the remnant forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after the split. When this half of the forces gather together and no longer kill each other, their power is already so amazing.

Speaking of this, Zhu Di smiled slightly, stretched out his boots, crushed a few pieces of charcoal fire that had been extinguished on the ground, and said: "These little guys along the side~ say}} just come and fall, they have no ability to be enemies with us, and they don't want to fight with us." We are enemies, don't force them to die, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, give them some benefits properly, they will not jump the wall in a hurry, and it will also make other tribes have illusions.

These smuggling transactions have disadvantages, but they are not without advantages.If they loosen their hands and give them a way to go, they will not take the risk, and they will not take the risk of opening another smuggling channel, so that the court cannot control it.Non-governmental transactions inside and outside the border have never been terminated due to friendship or hostility between countries. I think that prohibition is worse than guidance, and blockage is worse than sparse. If the Northern Yuan Dynasty court was willing to surrender to my father, my father would have opened border trade. They don't give in, so my father can't lose face, can he? "

Zhu Di's heart-to-heart words made Commander Han completely let go of his knots, and said with a smile: "My lord, my lord. What's more, we don't open the market now, forcing them to trade secretly. Since then, the benefits we have gained , than the benefits of 'giving' them, it seems... much more."

Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Don't come here, stick your nose in your face, breaking the law is breaking the law, you can do it, you stabbed me in front of you, what do you think?"

Han Yi said with a smile: "I am asking to teach the prince, and I feel that the goods of more than a hundred vehicles... the quantity is indeed amazing, you see..."

Zhu Di knew that Han Yi was a traitor, and since he knew about it, he was unwilling to let himself stay out of it, but he didn't point it out. He pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "It's nothing special. Tell Guan Guan to investigate carefully. As long as it is really some fur and animal tendon, let it come in if you talk about a hundred carts, a thousand carts, or ten thousand carts. I, Daming, can eat as many as there are.

You are not allowed to bring other things with you, as long as there is nothing else, and the accompanying people do not carry weapons, what are the thirty or fifty strong men afraid of?If dozens of people can do anything, if you don't switch, won't they be able to climb mountains and mountains? "

"Yes, yes, I understand." Han Yi chased after Zhu Di's ass, step by step.

Zhu Di stood still, and said again: "However... it's a big deal to eat more than a hundred cars of leather goods and tendons in one go. Who is the identity of this buyer? You have to find out, if it's for civilian use, it's fine. In case there are any evil cults, just follow the vine and catch them all."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely do it."

On this day, Xie's family set up another banquet, which was a bit simpler than the one that entertained the biscuit girl that day, but for Xia Xun and Ximen Qing who had seen the world, it was already extremely rich .

In addition to Xie Chuanzhong, Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, the guests also included Shen Jia, the deputy guard of Lulongkou at the border, and Ren Rishang, who had met Xia Xun and Ximen Qing before.A dozen or so girls were sitting or standing, playing qin and zither in front of the six screens, matching silk and bamboo, singing softly to cheer them up.

The food and drink were too delicate, but actually it didn't suit the taste of the two frontier generals, but it was the first time the two had seen such a party. Luxury and ostentation are a kind of momentum, a kind of momentum, which shows the strength of the master. It is something that is asking for you, or the status is above you, in front of this kind of aura, you will also unconsciously feel awe.

Xie Laocai didn't know how to use power to suppress people. He just had a sense of inferiority of the nouveau riche and was eager to express himself, deliberately creating a luxurious atmosphere, for fear that others would look down on him, and he didn't want to make the two murderous The generals in the army who are like Ma are also a little restrained.

Xie Chuanzhong already knew who Xia Xun was working for, and he really didn't dare to despise Xia Xun as before. Originally, although Xia Xun bought a lot of goods this time, he didn't bother to show up in person, but this time he held a banquet in the mansion in person , to settle the matter for both parties.

In fact, border guards will trade privately or condone buying and selling, which has existed since ancient times and has never been cut off.From a geographical point of view, the settled people on both sides of the border are the closest and have the most contacts.As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. They have lived next to each other for generations, because the division of governance caused by the ownership of the political power cannot completely prevent their communication.

Not to mention that there are wars and peace between countries, and they are not always in a state of tension, and border markets are often opened for trade.Even during the war, most of the reasons were launched by the central authorities of both sides out of political needs. Even if one side had a gang of horse thieves and bandits attacking the side, its members were not the people of these small villages adjacent to the border. Therefore, even in wartime, the two sides often secretly Whether there is mutual aid.Whether you fight or not, his ultimate goal is to live.

Gradually, some soldiers saw that it was profitable and joined the ranks of private transactions. For a long time, in the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, the border soldiers in the history books secretly dropped off the rope to go down the pass, and set up a stall under the pass to trade with the people of the other side. The records are endless.

Gradually, some frontier generals found that it was profitable, and it was better to block it than to let the soldiers participate in the transaction and loosen military discipline. It is better to "pass the customs and collect taxes" and get some benefits directly from the merchants, as long as the items exported are not strategic materials. just fine.In this way, private trade is a non-public but actual phenomenon at almost every juncture in the non-war period.Moreover, many top generals have gradually become insiders or directly participated in it.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng were fighting for the world, Xie Zaixing, a brave general under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, sent people to Zhang Shicheng's site to do business. Therefore, the two subordinates who were doing business were executed, and Xie Zaixing was demoted as an official.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. As long as it is not against the principle, most of the people above will turn a blind eye.It's just that it's unprecedented for Xia Xun to buy so many supplies at once, so the guards can't help but be a little cautious.Ren Rishang knew that Lord Qianhu couldn't make decisions about so many goods, so he went directly to their general backstage: Commander Han asked about countermeasures, but unexpectedly King Yan was there.

Now that they have received the instructions from Commander Han Yi, they have fulfilled Xie Chuanzhong. As soon as Xie Chuanzhong started the banquet and gave the gift, without saying a few words, Deputy Shen Qianhu immediately agreed. Xie Laocai only felt that he had greatly enhanced his brilliance in both aspects. He was happy to serve good wine and good food, and the three parties ate very happily.

After the banquet was over, Xie Laocai was still in high spirits, and he dragged them around the garden he built with a lot of money for a while, and then sent them away.A group of people walked outside the mansion chatting and laughing, and walked to the front door, when a few female relatives from the Xie mansion came in.

Several servant girls surrounded several ladies and ladies, and those ladies and ladies were all dressed in expensive black fox furs, squirrel capes, and snow-white fox fur collars around their necks, all of them luxurious and graceful, Wealth is compelling.

But the same dress is worn by different people, and the feeling is different. One of the women is also dressed like this. At a glance, she is tall and tall, as tall as bamboo, and she is light and charming, graceful and elegant. , Yingying slowly, really like a lonely oriole in the mist, it has the beauty of standing out from the crowd.

Xia Xun glanced over and was stunned: "Miss Shaobing?"

The Shaobing girl was chatting and laughing with Yan Yan, when she suddenly caught sight of him, her face turned pale...

Attachment: Regarding Zhu Di's conversation, because he came to Peiping when he was very young, he fought with the soldiers and fought on the battlefield, so his accent changed to a very northern one.I once thought about whether to imitate his real tone of voice, even if it is not very similar, it can still have a little charm, but in this way, firstly, it takes a lot of effort to write, and I have to always pay attention to the consistency of the language, secondly, it is easy to overturn everyone's minds In the original impression of Zhu Di.

After thinking about it for a long time, I feel that writing his image truthfully can make everyone feel the real image of this historical figure, so I still use some of his real style of speech.In fact, Zhu Di's real conversation is more rustic than that in the text. It's not that he is not knowledgeable enough, but that his daily speech is just like that.

Attached below is an imperial decree that has not been modified too much by the scholars and is more in line with the original flavor of Zhu Di's words. This is the imperial decree awarded by Zhu Di to Bili Abushu, a tribal leader in the Tibetan area after Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor.

The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun said: "I am a Han Chinese, on the west side of the ground, in the grassland of Xishou, the leaders of various ethnic groups in Xifan, and I are always close to each other.Only Bili Abushu came to pay tribute since my father, emperor Taizu Gao, got the west, which means very good.

Now that I have a big seat, the son of Abu Shu is over, not forgetting the kindness of my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, and knowing the way of heaven, he sent his nephew Abu Shu to Beijing to pay tribute, very sincerely.Seeing this kindness, I raised the Biliqianhusuo as a guard.

Zhongshu Sheren wrote down my words carefully in the imperial edict, and promoted him to be the commander of General Mingwei and Biliwei, and he will be a co-worker for generations to come.The native Xifan listened to the leadership.If there is anyone who does not listen to his subordinates, he will be punished by the police, and Cao Ruchi, your soldier, will not be negligent.On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Yongle, the treasure of life was sealed. "

Well, a new week has begun, and friends who have monthly tickets and recommendation tickets in their hands, if you don’t vote quickly, I will punish him with the highest degree, and don’t neglect your soldiers Cao Ruchi!
