When the Tatars killed the Ming Dynasty, they knew that it was not good, and immediately moved to the depths of the desert.

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, as long as you run away in advance, even if the Ming Dynasty sends troops, you may not be able to find yourself. No one can find it, so naturally the battle cannot be fought. Even if it is found, I believe that the Ming army is sleepy and lacking in follow-up. Tatar is waiting for work, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Arutai thought very well, and the people of Ma'erha, Dehuochi, and others agreed with this idea.

No matter how unpleasant it is to look at Arutai, we must admit that in terms of cunning and resourcefulness, Arutai is indeed better than him. Otherwise, the ghost power of the Tatar tribes would not have been planted in his hands.

On the whole, Arutai's plan was well calculated, and the Tatar leaders such as Ma'erhawe carried it out quite thoroughly.

It's a pity that after all calculations, something went wrong halfway.

It was not the others who caused the trouble, it was Benjamin, who was proclaimed by Arutai as the Great Khan of Tatars, and was also the culprit who forced the tribe to migrate and flee for their lives.

The cause of the matter is very simple, summarized in five words, and the wealth is moving.

Arutai can control Ma'erha, and he can suppress the fire red, but he can't hold Benjamin, who has a hot head at every turn.

On the day of the accident, the relocation units were resting by the lake.

Finding that Benjamin was missing, Arutai immediately ordered a search.

The cavalry sent out soon returned, with an anxious face, "Taishi, something happened!" ”

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Arutai knew that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed to the scene, and almost fainted with anger when he saw the dead Warat and Benjamin, who counted the gold, cattle and sheep.

"Great Khan, what are you doing!"

When is it, if you don't run for your life as soon as possible, you still start robbing?

"Don't worry, Taishi, these Warat people have crossed the border here, and it's nothing to kill them."

Arutai was dizzy again, and he tried to reason, but Benya, whose eyes were full of gold, couldn't listen at all.

"Great Khan, the Warat tribe crossing the border to the Uliangha tribe for trade, should not be intercepted, this is the rule."

The grasslands lack grain, salt, iron, cloth, in short, everything.

The Ming Dynasty restricted border trade, and the opening of mutual markets was also limited transactions, which made the "smuggling" trade of the grassland particularly prosperous in Wuliangha. Although the scarce salt and grain prices were sky-high, and the prices of other commodities were the same every day, the Warat and Tatar tribes still had to grit their teeth and pay for it.

They don't trade with Uliangha, they want food and salt, and they can only rely on robbery. The Ming army is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, threshing grass is becoming more and more difficult, rushing across the border, and facing life danger at any time. Instead of having your head cut off, it is better to buy it from Uliangha at a high price.

Due to the geographical location, if Warat wanted to trade with Uliangha, he had to pass through the territory of the Tatars, otherwise he would have to pass through the border towns of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongle turned a blind eye to Uliangha's "smuggling" behavior, which did not mean that he would agree to Wara's excuse.

For the development of the tribe, Mahamu pinched his nose and said a lot of good things to Ghost Lichi, and finally said that Ghost Lichi nodded and agreed to the Varat tribe to cross the border and trade with Uliangha. However, a part of the salt and grain from the trade must be handed over as "tolls".

The Tartars would not intercept the Varat caravans.

Since the two sides set the statutes, there have been frictions between Warat and Tatar from time to time, but most of them have been small-scale fights, and large-scale fights have rarely occurred.

Today, the balance is broken.

The Varat team that Benjamin destroyed was clearly a caravan that had traded with Uliangha. Arutai was 100% sure that once the news reached Mahamu's ears and the Ming army did not arrive, the Warat cavalry would come first.

"Great Khan, hurry up."

Arutai couldn't think of any other way than to speed up his run.

Benjamin didn't care, he did think about the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't take Warat seriously at all. This mentality was directly reflected in his expression, so angry that Arutai jumped to his feet, and even began to wonder whether it was right or wrong to destroy the ghost and support Benjamin.

Ghost Lichi gave up the title of "Yuan", changed his name to Tatar, and declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, which made many people unaccustomed to it. He himself is not orthodox of the Golden Family, and his talents are limited, and he cannot restore the scenery of the Yuan-Empire-Kingdom, so he can stabilize the tribe and will not cause trouble everywhere.

As soon as Benjamin came to power, he killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, provoked the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, and robbed the Warat caravan, provoking the anger of Mahamu.

Arutai didn't want to argue with Benjamin, he was afraid that he would pull the knife directly.

Benjamin's head calmed down, and he realized that this was not the right move.

The two of them took a step back, collected the gold, drove back the cattle and sheep, destroyed the corpses, and continued to run.

However, the route needs to be changed.

Originally, it was scheduled to go northwest, but now, Warat may turn around at any time, and the west is destined to not be able to go, so it can only run north with all its might. The harsh environment and lack of food are not as important as life.

In July of the sixth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle issued an edict to the world to levy 100,000 officers and soldiers from the guard station to conquer Tatars.

"I am mandated by heaven, inherit the foundation of Emperor Tai-Zu-Gao, control all directions, and all the four remote areas are far away. The remnants of Dubei are in the desert, wanton-reckless-ferocious-violent. Repeatedly sent envoys to preach the way of preservation with the preservation of children and grandchildren, but did not listen, and were detained at every turn, and even killed! Its wolf ambition, greed, fierceness, cruelty, and cruelty, lead Su Ji to the way of heaven, and his luck has been extinct! I now order the six divisions to go to the expedition, reinvigorate the martial arts, use the heavens to fight, sweep away the guilty, and clear the desert! ”

Expeditions to the desert from the beginning of the dynasty are the best way for soldiers to make meritorious contributions and get rewarded.

Since the edict was issued, all the guards have been vigorous. The conquest of Annam did not catch up, the conquest of North Korea has nothing to do, and the conquest of the desert must not be missed!

Success and fame, glory in the clan, wife and son, should be in the present day!

The movement of the large army was very fast, and military rations, weapons, and war horses were in place one after another. The officers and soldiers who received the transfer order were extremely excited, and the people were also in an uproar.

The border people of northern Xinjiang have an inextricable hatred with the Tatars, and they can't wait for the army to go out to the steppe every other day to kill the Tartars.

The merchants who have eaten the sweetness of the expedition of the army are gearing up and always pay attention to the news of the expedition of the army. There is land and grain in Annam, there are ginseng and mountains in North Korea, and although the grassland is barren, the skins and furs of cattle and sheep can always be sold at a price.

In short, wherever the army hits, everyone's footsteps will follow! Follow in the footsteps of the officials and soldiers, have land, and make money!

The attached steppe tribes and the Liaodong Jurchen tribes began to move up and down, in order to go out with the army, win military exploits, and obtain rich rewards.

North Korea can't help but fight, with Li Chenggui and the infiltrated spies, it is a matter of time before the capital is taken.

Li Chenggui, who was supposed to ascend to heaven in June, lived tenaciously until July, and will continue to live without accident. With him, Li Fangyuan's life is destined to become more and more sad day by day.

Kill your brother, put your father under house arrest, and ascend to the throne.

Li Chenggui hated this son so much that hatred became the driving force to support him to live, and it also became a sharp blade for the Ming army to capture Korea.

The battle reports of Meng Shan, the chief military officer of Liaodong, were sent to Nanjing one after another, in addition to reporting success.

The imperial court issued an edict to conquer the desert, and the official army in Liaodong was also - drawn - transferred - part, most of the Jurchen tribes attached to it were not in the list of troops, only the cavalry of Jianzhou Wei, Mao Lianwei, and Wuzhiwei were hand-picked by Meng Shan and entered Beijing with the army.

Jianzhou Wei commanded Ha Ha out to put on his battle armor, stepped on his war horse, and led fifty tribal warriors to gallop to Liaodong to command the envoys.

For the Jurchen tribe that belonged to the Ming Dynasty, it was an honor and an opportunity to be able to follow the official army on the expedition.

Riding on the horse, he waved the whip vigorously, his cheeks were tense, and his ambition filled his chest, like a flame-burning-burning, boiling-water-boiling-boiling.

nanking

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Di was flipping through the ten rules handed by Zhu Gaoxu for post-disaster peace, nodding from time to time.

Standing in front of the imperial case, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui easily did not dare to probe. After waiting for his father to speak for a long time, the brothers became more and more bottomless in their hearts, and they had the courage to glance at it and secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Daddy doesn't have a black face, and he seems to be in a good mood.

"Who wrote this note?" Zhu Di swept over Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, his expression was dignified, and his tone was solemn. There are big boys who dare to lie, and they immediately get on the posture of whipping.

"Back to my father, this is what Xing Ningbo Bo mentioned. The sons and the third brother sorted it out together, consulted Xia Situ, and then presented it to the emperor of his father. ”

"Hinningber?"

"Exactly."

Putting down the song, Zhu Di pinched his eyebrows, "Let you learn with Xing Ningbo, it is quite beneficial and has grown a lot." ”

"Thank you, Father."

"Stand aside for now." Zhu Di put down his hand and said, "When I am on my northern tour, you two will follow you." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui agreed in unison, very excited.

Does it mean that you have a part in the desert?

A good thing, a great thing!

As a prince, the people, politics, economy, and economy must make achievements, and military exploits are capital. If you can make a war exploit in the desert and capture the Tartar commander like your father in the early years, what a glory it is, and you will wake up with a smile in your dreams.

No matter how excited you are in your heart, you must control your expression, in case you provoke your father and change your mind and let the cooked duck fly away, it will be too wronged.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui thought of one place, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Erchen retires." ”

Withdraw first, go to Kunning Palace to see your mother, and then hand over a mouth, and then don't worry about your father changing his words.

Seeing his two sons leave, Zhu Di snorted, his nostrils puffed, and his hands began to itch again.

Bai Yanhui, who was standing on the side, immediately cheered up.

Back in Nanjing, Bai Yanhui took the vacant seat left by Hou Xian and served beside Emperor Yongle. Carefully observing the expression of the Son of Heaven, Bai Gonggong decided to shut up and keep silent.

Zhu Di picked up the note presented by Zhu Gaoxu again, and when he saw half of it, his brows furrowed. Not for the content of the song, but for the commander of this expedition to the desert.

Emperor Yongle never thought that his subordinates were full of talents, and they would also have a headache for the chief military officer who led the troops.

Originally, he belonged to Zhu Neng, the prince of Chengguo, but as soon as he showed some meaning, Zhu Neng's note of illness was sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Zhu Di is out of line, he is sick, and naturally he can't lead the troops.

Subsequently, his eyes fell on Shen Xuan, the Duke of Dingguo, but Shen Xuan also sent a sick note. Cause? Recurrence of an old disease.

Zhu Di lifted the table, what kind of trouble is this?

Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng, Li Bin and other generals went through the sieve one by one, and none of them could satisfy Zhu Di. The combat effectiveness is there, but the prestige is always a little worse.

Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, took the initiative to ask for his life, but Zhu Di really didn't dare to use him.

The lesson of Jing Nan told Zhu Di that Qi Guogong was loyal and had skills, but his luck was not very good, and his personality was a little stubborn, and it was easy to turn around when he encountered trouble. Let him lead the army to conquer the desert, in case he encounters a trap and steps into it, he will probably not be able to stand up.

After screening the generals in Nanjing, Zhu Di's eyes turned to Beijing. Thinking of the brother-in-law who was training in Suncheon, he suddenly slapped his thigh, ah, my brother-in-law is available!

At the beginning, Jing was difficult, and he almost fell into his hands, who did he use without him?

Inevitably, there will be another general situation like the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of Guo, and Zhu Di directly issued an edict to block all the retreats of Xu Huizu.

The edict was sent to Beijing, and Xu Huizu did not find any excuses, and happily took the seal of the general of Zhengyi.

Since ascending the throne from now on, except for training troops in Shuntian, Xu Huizu has not made any achievements. For the Duke of Wei, in order not to fall into the name of the King of Zhongshan, even if the Son of Heaven does not mention it, he will also take the initiative to ask for his life.

The problem of the commander was solved, and Zhu Di began to appoint deputy generals again, and the imperial decree was sent to the Guogong Mansion, ordering Shen Xuan to supervise the left army and Meng as the deputy.

Emperor Yongle said that if he is not the coach, the deputy general can no longer be pushed. I am not old and dizzy, and it is useless to tell me about illness, so I will honestly go to the north to fight.

"Commandment."

The two of them received the order of thanksgiving.

Standing up, Meng Shu handed over the red envelope and said, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Bai." ”

Bai Yanhui took it, stuffed it into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Our family still has to go to the Xincheng Hou Mansion to announce the decree, and the grandfather and uncle of the country will stay." ”

"Father-in-law Bai walks slowly."

After sending Bai Yanhui away, Meng looked at Shen Xuan, "Grandpa Guo, what should I do now?" ”

"What is Twelve-Lang referring to?"

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, innocent.

Meng Qi knot.

All learned to become a prince of the country pretending to be sick and pretending to be stupid in front of him?

Shen Xuan waved his hand, motioned for the guards to retreat, closed the door, leaned over and pinched Meng's earlobe, "Twelve Lang don't worry, if it's not the Chinese army, it's fine." ”

"Didn't Grandpa Guo say before that he had too much credit?" Covering his ears, Meng blinked.

Shen Xuan didn't immediately solve Meng's confusion, but pulled the person into his arms, gently stroked his neck, and swept the medicine bowl on the table, "Today's medicine, Twelve Lang is still useless?" ”

Is there a connection between "......?"

"Twelve Lang will use the medicine first, and Xuan will explain it to Twelve Lang, okay?"

Can "......" be said badly?

Meng pursed his lips and wanted to get up, but the arm behind his back was tighter.

Glare, don't let him get up, how to drink medicine?

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Xuan chuckled, picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to his lips, took half a mouthful, held up Meng's chin, wiped his thumb over his lips, and fed it into his mouth.

After drinking the whole bowl of medicine, Meng didn't feel bitter, but the roots of his ears were hot, and his head almost became a mess.

How many times is this the first time?

After thinking about it for two seconds, my neck turned red.

"Twelve."

A deep voice flowed through his ears, and Meng unconsciously responded.

"Words are high."

Meng shook his head and instantly sobered up.

"It's even more talkative, it's too much."

"Too much?"

"Although Xuan has made meritorious contributions several times, now is not the time for the rapid retreat."

"Grandpa Guo is just a temptation?" To take a stand to the Son of Heaven?

"Yes." Shen Xuan pecked Meng's forehead, "Twelve Lang is smart." ”

Touching his forehead, Meng Moran. Compared with the second generation of Hou who has experienced Hongwu Nian-politics-governance-fighting-fighting, and grew up beside Emperor Yongle, his little thought is not enough at all.

"Furthermore," Shen Xuan paused, lowered his head, and a warm breath brushed the side of Meng's neck, "Xuan doesn't want to be separated from Twelve Lang again, and he has been lovesick for several months." ”

Rumble!

Uncle Meng's face was flushed, his head was steaming, and the three flowers were gathered on the top.

Hou Erdai is so good, he really can't hold it.

Comparing the two, who is the indigenous of the Ming Dynasty?!

In August of the sixth year of Yongle, the Ming army was ready to march into the grassland.

Warat suddenly took a step ahead of the Ming Dynasty and led his troops to attack the Tatars.

The two sides clashed at the foot of the Tangnu Mountain, and the leader of Warat, Mahamu, led 3,000 cavalry, defeated the hardcore Golros of Arutai, killed more than 300 Tatar cavalry, cut off the heads, burned the tents, and said that he was not at odds with Benjami and Arutai.

When the news reached the Ming court, Zhu Di immediately issued an order to crown Mahamu as the king of Shunning, and gave him gold seals, 50 taels of bounty, 100 taels of silver, 500 ingots of treasure money, 10 catties of tea bricks, 10 catties of pepper, and 200 horses of silk. 1,000 stone of grain and 500 pieces of iron were provided. It was clear that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to clean up the Tatars, and that Benjamin and Arutai would not be able to bounce for a few days. If you want to reap more benefits, you can rest assured and boldly rush forward.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although Wara could not be called a friend of the Ming Dynasty, he pulled one by one, and cleaned up after temporary unity, and Emperor Yongle used it skillfully, and tried and tested.

At this time, the Tatars were already under attack on their backs, and it stands to reason that if they have a little brain, they should hurry up and find a place to hide. Facts have proved that there is no stupidity, only more stupidity. Supporting Benjamin was the worst mistake of Arutai's life.

During his escape, Benjamin not only intercepted and killed the Warat team, but also robbed a caravan of Uliangha that had gone to the steppe to trade.

Benjamin flaunted the booty, and Arutai vomited blood on the spot.

Does this guy have a head?

Is there a stone on your shoulder?!

Wu Liangha was enraged, and sent people to Beijing to complain to Emperor Yongle, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the ministers!" ”

The strong men cried with a handful of snot and tears, and begged to send troops immediately to destroy the girl.

Meng Gang happened to enter the palace to teach, and he was a little dumbfounded when he learned about it for the first time.

First the Ming Dynasty, then Warat, and then Uliangha. The one who can be offended has fallen, and all of them have been offended.

The Tartars are really heroic, and Benjamin is simply too characterful, and he is completely running on the road to death, and he will not look back.
