Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

If a person wants to succeed, tenacity, persistence, and clear self-knowledge are indispensable.Especially clear self-knowledge is the most important.

From Su Mu's point of view, the reason why he is doing well now is mainly because he won the first prize in the examination, and he relied on plagiarism all the way.In fact, in terms of talents, I am afraid that they are only at the level of an ordinary scholar in this world, let alone comparing with Jinshi.

As for talent and administrative ability, it is even more incomparable with the ministers and officials in the court.

As a time traveler, the foresight of history is the only ability to rely on.

So far, Su Mu has completed the road of imperial examinations, and after officially entering the officialdom, he has no affection for Emperor Zhengde.If you want to go smoothly in the future, you can only rely on the traveler's advance knowledge of history.

As far as Su Mu knew, the little Tatar prince invaded the Ming Dynasty five times during the Zhengde period.

First of all, in March of the sixth year of Zhengde, the little prince led 5 people to invade Hetao, that is, the Ningxia area.

In October of the same year, after the little prince robbed Hetao, his soldiers pointed directly at Datong, and after a false shot, he returned to the north with his pen.

The third time happened in September of the seventh year of Zhengde, when the little prince attacked Xuanfu. This time the disaster was particularly severe, and even captured Huai'an and Weizhou.

The fourth time was the tenth year of Zhengde, the little prince still invaded from the front line of Datong, and no one could reach it.

The fifth time, in the 12th year of Zhengde, Datong was in an emergency, and the little prince led a crowd to attack, with a total force of [-].This time, Emperor Zhengde couldn't bear it anymore, and he took charge of the government, and finally defeated the little prince in Yingzhou, and relieved the troubles of the Ming Dynasty.

During the first four invasions, Emperor Zhengde originally intended to personally lead troops to respond to the enemy.But the ministers resolutely opposed it, so they gave up.

It's a pity that the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty was really weak, and they fought and failed repeatedly, which completely angered Emperor Zhengde this time.

Of the five Tatar offensives, except for the first one at Hetao, four of them were concentrated on the Datong line.It can be said that Xuan Town and Da Town were the most important frontier defenses of the Ming Empire, and it was appropriate to transfer Xie Ziran there.

Su Mu slowly picked up the pen to record, and was writing into the alley, suddenly felt a shadow moving over his head, looked up, it was Hu Ying.

Su Mu stopped writing and smiled slightly: "It's the middle of the night, what are you doing here, go back and sleep."

Hu Ying: "Su Mu, you haven't come back for two years. When you go home this time, the concubine will naturally be by your side."

"No need, I don't know how long I'm going to write, maybe it will be all night."

"Then I will accompany you. Don't you scholars say this: Hongxiu Tianxiang reads at night."

"Are you Hongxiu?"

"Good job, Sumu."

Su Mu laughed, moved in his heart, and said softly: "Sister, this person gets hungry easily when he stays up late, or else, get me something to eat, something lighter."

"Yes, the concubine is going to ask someone to do it."

Originally, for the five invasions of the little Tatar prince, Su Mu only cared about the Yingzhou war in the 12th year of Zhengde.

After all, although the first four Tatar attacks on the Ming Dynasty were large in scale, their strategic purpose was to rob, and the Ming Dynasty was not ready for combat.Therefore, after allowing the Tatars to rob calmly, they retreated calmly.

At the last time, Emperor Zhengde finally couldn't bear it anymore, and despite the opposition of the ministers, he still marched in person.In the decisive battle with the little prince in Yingzhou, he won the final victory, and finally cut off the big trouble on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

This battle is the key if Su Mu and Hu Shun want to gain meritorious service on the battlefield and become a Marquis because of it.Because Su Mu is the emperor's confidant, and Hu Shun is the most senior officer in Jinyi who is close to the army, and it is only possible to go to the battlefield when the emperor personally conquers.

Thinking of this, Su Mu calmed down and sorted out the ins and outs of the Yingzhou War in his heart.

To be honest, when I was reading relevant historical materials.Probably because Emperor Zhengde's reputation in history is too bad, and "History of Ming Dynasty" was compiled by literati in the Qing Dynasty, so there is not much praise for Zhengde.There are only a few words in the historical materials of this battle, and there is even a hint of sarcasm between the lines. For example, Zhengde personally killed an enemy in this battle, for example, the beheading in this battle was only a few hundred levels.

It can't be true at all.

It's because Su Mu didn't take it seriously when he read this historical record, but recalling it now, it really bothered him.

While recording casually, recalling at the same time, it took about half an hour to finally record the Yingzhou War completely, and then prepare to carefully store it in a drawer and lock it.

Rubbing his feverishly written hands and looking at Hu Ying beside him with a tired face, Su Mu felt a little guilty, and was about to tell his wife to go back to the house quickly, but his heart was moved: No, no, this piece of time and space has been merged with The real history is different in many places.For example, Emperor Hongzhi died early, and Zhengde became emperor two years earlier.In this way, will the Tatars invade the Ming Dynasty earlier?Or, with Zhengde's character, would he not have to wait for the fifth invasion of the little prince, and then go to conquer in person in advance?

Yes, this possibility is very high and cannot be ignored.

Su Mu stopped, picked up a pen and slowly recorded the first four Tatar invasions.

These four invasions were not a glorious event for the Ming Dynasty, and there were fewer historical materials, and they were written in less than half an hour.

By the time Su Mu went to bed, it was already Shenshi the next day.

The freezing rain outside has turned into snowflakes that are falling down one after another.

Su Mu is now disbanded, waiting for the court to assign other work. Besides, in the past few days, all the energy of the court has been involved in Liu Jin's treason case, and all work has been suspended. It is estimated that Su Mu's new appointment will take a month or two Only then did it settle down.

In addition, he is only at the seventh rank now, so he doesn't need to go to the early court.

The kang was very hot, and Hu Ying next to her had already fallen into a deep sleep, breathing slightly, but Su Mu couldn't sleep.

Lying on the kang, Su Muyou went through the little prince's information in his mind.

The Tatars in the Ming Dynasty did not specifically refer to the Tatars, but a general term for grassland nomads, with complex components, mainly referring to the tribes that retreated to Mobei with Lin Danhan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan's tribe was divided into two tribes, the East and the West.The one in the east is called Wala, and the one in the west is called Tatar.

In history, there are not many records of the little Tatar prince during the Zhengde period.In fact, after Su Mu traveled to this era, he also checked the relevant information of the imperial court, but did not read too many detailed records.

According to his investigation, the little prince is called Dayan Khan, who has just unified the Tatar tribes, and is now stationed in the Hetao Grassland area.

Today, the climate in the Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, and it is about to enter the Little Ice Age.The weather in the north is getting colder and drier.

The pastures have degraded, and the Tatars must go south to rob in order to survive.

The war with the Ming Dynasty is imminent.
