Jinyi Night Walk

In the battle of Yinwu River and Liuhua River, the Ming army beheaded and pardoned more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. On the way back, they brought back all the tribes that could be encountered in the southeast of the Horqin Grassland, which made the Tatars vigorous. Seriously injured, even if Alutai's lungs exploded with anger, he will not have the strength to fight Liaodong for a while, unless he has the idea of ​​​​rather subjugating the country, and tries his best to conquer the army confronting Oirat on the western front.This battle not only completely resolved the military pressure faced by the Liaodong capital, but also had a far-reaching impact. The tribes in the Nuergan area that had long been out of the control of the Yuan Dynasty sent envoys to show their favor to Xia Xun, and invited the Ming court to send people to appease him. , At the same time, the tribes attached to North Korea in Liaodong also stepped up their activities, trying to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty.

North Korea was angry and anxious, but it did nothing about it.It did not dare to use force. Even if the Ming court had not won the great victory in Liaodong, it could not deal with it. Originally, it could show off its force to the affiliated Jurchen tribes and intimidate them not to act rashly. These tribes are close to North Korea. You can't help but look at its face.However, when the North Korean envoy raised the issue of the ownership of these Jurchen tribes to Xia Xun, he deliberately cited this reason that he thought was very powerful: "Their tribes are located very close to our North Korean country!"

Xia Xun only replied lightly: "North Korea is also very close to Liaodong!"

Because of this sentence, North Korea did not even dare to use force to intimidate the dissident Jurchen tribes. The governor of Liaodong is so different from the previous Ming officials. Daming's kingly way taught him, but he was afraid of the knife in Xia Xun's hand.

Therefore, Zhu Di's cheap father-in-law, Aha Chu, took the lead in surrendering to the Ming court, and then one by one the Jurchen tribes submitted forms to the Ming court to express their surrender. The only thing North Korea could do was to protest and pay serious attention.Xia Xun didn't have time to talk to North Korea, he was digesting the fruits of Bai Ji's victory.

Xia Xun has no intention of continuing the westward crusade against the Tatars. It is in his interest to let the Tatars and Oirats continue to confront each other at present. What's more, the last battle was so easy, and it mainly relied on Mengge Timur's defection. In this battle, Xia Xun is not sure that he will win the battle. If he loses, he will give up all his efforts. Even if he wins, rapid expansion will be beneficial and harmless.

The only benefit it can bring is to make yourself famous in history, but in a few years, these baseless territories will have to be "vomited" out. Daming can't digest so many people and territories at once, isn't it here? What a rich place, every time you occupy an additional area, you will invest far more than you will get.

So Xia Xun is trying his best to stabilize now, eating away slowly, and consolidating every step he takes. Otherwise, some accidental factors may happen, and the good situation will completely collapse.This stability, for Liaodong at present, is mainly internal consolidation, integration, and rooting, which are the main aspects of Xia Xun's current governance.

The various ethnic groups here live together, and the subordinate tribes have considerable autonomy. The situation is very complicated, and it will take a long time to change slowly.

The extreme must be broken, and those who do not know how to compromise and tolerate cannot become great players.To achieve such a goal, of course, Xia Xun cannot be expected to do it alone. He can formulate policies, but someone must unswervingly implement his policies. In this case, all available forces must be tied to the together.

Using economic interests, he has tied together the Jurchen, Goryeo, Mongolian, and Han people in Liaodong. If he wants to tie the civil and military bureaucrats of the Liaodong shogunate together, he needs common political interests. This political interest is now the military. .

So in Xia Xun's memorial, the registration list listed is as long as a thousand lines. These people are not all soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line.For example, when he mentioned the loyalty of Wuliangha Sanwei, he had to mention by the way that Yishiha, Zhang Xitong and others promoted and educated the above-mentioned ministries. The tribe only strengthened the heart of loyalty.

When it comes to the great victory on the front line, one has to mention Wanshiyu, Huang Zhen, Shaoyunfeng and others who are raising food and grass and transporting soldiers in the rear; Wei Ruhe was responsible for the rear defense and guarded against death, making it impossible for the Tatars to take advantage.In short, only when everyone is happy can we be united.

In the governor's mansion, Xia Xun and all the civil and military generals gathered together, discussing official business.Rose girls Sanapova and Zilata came in with a fruit plate and tea. They still only know some of the simplest Chinese vocabulary, so they don’t care what these officials are talking about, just serve them like two butterflies wearing flowers. Sipping tea, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more relaxed because of these two beautiful and delicious women.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "My lord, after this great victory, we can ensure that there will be no war in Liaodong for the time being. The war between Tatar and Oirat is getting more and more fierce. With the vitality of the Tatars, Oala pressed on every step of the way, the more the fighting power between them is consumed, the safer we will be."

Xia Xun led the leader and said: "Yes, but military training must not be relaxed for a moment. On the Tatar side, don't let them treat us as evil spirits. I know that some Tatar tribes used to pretend to be nomadic tribes in the northern Nuergan area. Trade, exchange some daily necessities such as tea and iron pots, and go back, let them let them go, let alone arrest them.

We have to show our goodwill and let them know that we welcome them to do business in an orderly manner. This will help eliminate the hostility between ordinary herdsmen and us.Furthermore, every time they sell us more horses, we will have one more horse, and they will lose one correspondingly. If we buy more cattle and sheep, they will have less raw materials for making bows and crossbows. On the contrary, if they are asked to provide others, they will not be able to provide anything. This is in the interest of the country. "

When it came to political affairs in the second half, he was talking to Wanshiyu, and the shogunate quickly nodded in agreement.

Xia Xun said to him again: "You must grasp all aspects of agriculture and commerce. Our next most important thing is to run Liaodong and turn our place into an indestructible outpost at the northernmost end of the imperial court. In this way, it is necessary to maintain sufficient supplies. Once a war breaks out, our military reserves here must be able to meet the needs of long-term operations. The replenishment of soldiers, the replenishment of military horses, and the accumulation of military rations..." If these things are transported from within the pass, the consumption will be higher Much more grain and fodder were transported, and the burden on the court was heavy. "

At this time, a guard hurried in and said excitedly: "Master Ding Yu Ding Dusi is back!"

"what?"

Xia Xun was overjoyed, and stood up suddenly: "Is he still alive?"

Pei Yishitemuer and Mengge Tiemuer also stood up together, and said in unison: "Is my daughter (mother) rescued?"

Pei Yishitemuer is an official appointed by the court, so of course he is eligible to attend the meeting.As for Meng Ge Tie Mu'er, the news that he led his troops to join him has also been reported. It is estimated that when the emperor makes his northern tour, Xia Xun will be asked to visit with him and give him an official position. Now Xia Xun is taking advantage of the convenience of the shogunate, For the time being, he was appointed as an official position in the shogunate, so he also participated in the discussion!

The guard didn't know what to say, all he knew was that Ding Yu was rushing back to the city of the funeral, and specially asked someone to report first, Xia Xun couldn't hold back, immediately ended the meeting, and greeted him out of the mansion together with Zhu Wenwu.When everyone arrived outside the shogunate, after a while, a large group of people came from West Street.A Mongolian with a big beard galloped forward on a tall horse, got off the horse and saluted with fists in his arms, and said loudly: "The last general, Ding Yu, pays homage to Lord Butang!"

"Ding Yu!"

Xia Xun gave Dong him a few glances, and then recognized him. He couldn't help but stepped forward and punched him hard on the chest, and laughed loudly: "Good boy! This is quite strong, I thought you confessed to him. It's outside! Why are you dressed like this?"

Ding Yu grinned and said, "Brother Meng's mother and daughter-in-law, I rescued them, because I was worried about running into Tatar troops on the road, so I changed into Mongolian clothes so as not to be too conspicuous.

Pei Yishitemu'er squeezed forward to ask questions, when his daughter was dead, he quickly ran over, and shouted joyfully and sadly, "Father, sister has been rescued!"

"Oh?"

Pei Yistemu'er and Mengge Tiemu'er rushed up to meet him as soon as they saw him.Ding Yu whispered to Xia Xun: "The Tartar son Qian Daxi wrapped Meng Ge's mother and daughter-in-law with him and fled all the way. The horse ran too fast, who knew that Meng Ge's wife would have a baby?" Pregnant, under the turbulent miscarriage, the bleeding continued, and the body was very weak. Otherwise, the general would have returned long ago, and it was because he had to take care of her that he walked slowly."

Xia Xun nodded, and hurriedly stepped up to meet her. Pei Yishitmu'er received her daughter, and when she saw her haggard face and weak body, the father and daughter couldn't help crying with their heads in their arms. When they saw her, they couldn't help crying. Wipe your tears.Meng Ge Tie Mu'er personally helped the old lady off the horse, and the mother and son also embraced and wept.

Xia Xun originally wanted to come forward to express his condolences, to show the leadership's concern, but seeing the situation, he couldn't intervene at all, so he had to stand by holding his nose and watching the show.

At this time, those people dressed as herdsmen came to the front, and they all stood there. Some of them were dressed as Mongolian herdsmen, but they were actually Ding Yu's subordinates. , old and young, strong and weak, and some women, all stood aside, looking at them with serious eyes. Xia Xun only said that they were the tribe that was taken away together with Meng Ge's old lady, and did not let them go. in the eyes.

I was the first to react, and when I saw those people standing there waiting for my introduction, I wiped away my tears, walked up to Xia Xun, and pointed out to him: "Lord Ministry, these people are from the Huaguna tribe." Arutai slaughtered his entire family, these shepherds escaped to death because they were grazing outside, and now they all rushed to join the ministry!"

Xia Xun was very happy and worried when he heard it. Although these people in front of him were only around a hundred people, they represented a tribe. If one more tribe joined, the more glory would be given to him. Why didn't he like it?Xia Xun hurried forward to meet him, and the people from the Huaguna tribe pushed out the oldest Amu'er, crying to Xia Xun about the persecution by Alutai, and begging Xia Xun to take him in.

Xia Xun said to them with emotion: "Don't worry, I, Yang Xu, have always been open to those who come. Since you have come to me, the governor will arrange for you properly. Once you get here, you will be safe. No more wandering, no more fear!"

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

Amu'er knelt down gratefully, and all the Huaguna tribe behind him also knelt down in unison. Amu'er raised his hands, palms up, and said respectfully to Xia Xun: "Thank you, kind sir, we Travelers on long journeys have lost their yurts and their loved ones. There are almost no precious things that can express our sincere gratitude to adults. Fortunately, we still have a lark on the grassland, Huaguna The most beautiful flower, we would like to dedicate her to your lord to express our endless awe and loyalty to you!"

Following Amu'er's voice, at the end of Huaguna's tribe, a young girl stood up. She was wearing a white gown embroidered with deer patterns, her waist was tightly tied, and she was about to break in the wind. A white khata came slowly towards Xia Xun.

The big braids are combed behind, and the black and beautiful hair is slightly combed with bangs on the forehead. This is the hairstyle of an unmarried girl. Married women have their hair tied back on their foreheads.It seemed that before entering the city, they had simply washed and washed by the river outside the city, and the dust had been washed off their faces, and there were still a few crystal drops of water hanging from the bangs on this beautiful girl's forehead.She approached Xia Xun step by step, with black hair and blue eyes, skin like white snow reddened by the morning glow, red lips and bright teeth, a nose like a gall, and extremely bright facial features, such a girl, He Zhi can be called Hua Guna Even if the most beautiful flower of the tribe is placed in the Jiangnan water town where beauties emerge in endlessly, it is still waiting for a wishful girl

She walked gracefully to Xia Xun's side, staring at her feet with lowered eyes, and at the same time raised the half-folded khata high up, bending over and leaning forward.Xia Xun had been in Liaodong for a long time, and he understood some of their etiquette. Knowing that this is the etiquette of presenting a khata to the superior, no matter whether the person accepts it or not, the gift cannot be refused. Hada.

Suddenly, a man sprang out from the side of the road, holding a wrist-removing sharp knife in his hand, taking advantage of Xia Xun standing in front of the Huaguna tribe, separating many of his guards from the opportunity, "Ceng Ceng Ceng" three strides Then he jumped to Xia Xun's side from the crowd of the kneeling Huaguna tribe, and stabbed Xia Xun's heart with a black tiger's heart.

The moment this man broke into the crowd suddenly, Xia Xun was already on alert. Seeing that the knife was approaching, he suddenly grabbed the arm of the girl in white robe, pulled her aside, and at the same time took a step back, He leaned back slightly, and the saber was barely piercing through. The point of the saber was touching his chest, but he was powerless to go any further.

At the end of the crossbow, it is difficult to penetrate Lu Jin.It's simple to say, but to be able to accurately judge the opponent's speed, strength, and arm length, and make fine-tuning adjustments at any time according to the opponent's pitch, so that it is difficult to hurt him at all, this martial arts is really extremely clever, and the person who was pulled aside by him The girl in white robe couldn't help but be amazed when she saw his outstanding skills.

Xia Xun put his hands on the man's wrist, and the sharp knife fell to the ground with a clang. Xia Xun's right hand slid up like a snake, and pinched at his joints again. He stared at Xia Xun intently, but his vitals were restrained, and he was powerless, and it was impossible to stand up.

The guards from all around rushed up to protect Xia Ze in the center, and the frightened civil and military soldiers also came forward to ask for their health. After interrogation, it turned out that this man was a prisoner who had escaped from the Tatar captives who were detained in the pass. The shogunate The Department of the Department has already made a shadowy figure and is arresting him in various places in Liaodong. Who knows that this person did not escape back to the grassland, but actually sneaked back to Kaiyuan City, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the governor.

After a commotion, the assassin was escorted away by the inspectors of the Shogunate Office who came after hearing the news. Xia Xun then turned around, smiled and nodded at the stunned girl. With a soft cry, he suddenly realized that he quickly stood in front of Xia Xun again, stared deeply at Xia Xun with his eyes as clear as water, and then raised his hat respectfully.

Xia Xun took the khata with both hands, and the white-robed woman bowed deeply to him again. She turned lightly with her lotus steps, and naturally stood behind him, pretending to be a maidservant.

Beijing, the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

The mansions in the north are like this, not as exquisite as the south, but they are more spacious, wide and deep, and the high-walled courtyard is like a fortress, full of style.

On top of a row of stone steps at the gate of the yamen, there is a huge red lacquered gate with stone lions facing each other. On the open ground in front of it, a string of lanterns is hung, and a large flag is erected. You can see it every few streets. can see.On the stone steps between the doors, eight hulking-backed soldiers, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, stood imposingly with their hands on the handles of their knives.

A fast horse came galloping from afar, dismounted hurriedly in front of the gate of the mansion, fastened the horse to the hitching post, ran up the stone steps, flashed his waist badge, and walked quickly into the mansion.

Qiu Fu, dressed casually in a toga with long sleeves, was sitting on a casual chair under the eaves, drinking tea.He likes the north, where the four seasons are distinct, unlike the south where the air is always sticky, making it difficult to breathe, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.But although the north is comfortable, he was relegated here, but he was not without depression in his heart.

The emperor is going on a tour of the north, Qiu Fu is very concerned about this matter, repairing camps, building roads, and cleaning up the market. After all, he is an old minister who has followed the emperor for many years. He hopes that the emperor will be able to appreciate the old feelings when he comes this time, and then transfer him back to the center .No, he just sat down to take a rest after finishing his preparations for the drive, when someone sent him some unpleasant news: Great Victory in Liaodong.

Qiu Fu's face was gloomy and he said: "Beheaded [-] people and captured more than [-] people? How is it possible!"

He said to Tang Jie, the governor of the Fifth Army who sent the letter: "The Tatar soldiers have always been brave, and it is especially difficult to fight annihilation battles on the grasslands. , but with such a big victory..." Could it be that he, Yang Xu, was born handsome?snort!I don't believe it! "

Tang Jie said: "I heard that he is going to drive the prisoners of war into customs and resettlement. I'm afraid... this is true!"

Qiu Fu shook his head and said, "The Tartar soldiers are soldiers in war, and they are usually civilians. If he takes the initiative to provoke and capture some shepherds to serve as soldiers, why not? Didn't his battle report say that he set up an ambush in the northern grasslands of Horqin?" , In order to prevent the pursuit, he returned quickly, didn't he return the armor and heads of the Tatar soldiers? According to the old man, this is a fraud!"

Qiu Fu rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor is about to go on a northern tour. He won such a big victory. It's hard to guarantee that he deliberately concocted it to invite favors and lied about the war! Tang Jie, you are from Liaodong, so you use it in the name of visiting relatives." , Go back to Liaodong, check his name, if he lied about the war, wait until the emperor arrives in Beijing, hehe!"

Tang Jie understood, and quickly bowed and said: "I obey my orders!".I was really tired after working hard for several days. I slept well last night. I didn’t wake up until 09:30 this morning. CRRC finished a chapter and dealt with other things. After I finished, I didn’t take a nap. Just continue to code.Now the second watch has [-] characters, which is equivalent to the third watch.Now I have updated an average of [-] words a day for seven days. Everyone said, is this okay for today, or do you want me to continue later? (Chu Chu pitifully...)
