In October, it was the beginning of winter snowfall.

Beside the Krulun River, the Uliangha cavalry defeated the Tatar vanguard, and Benjamin was pulled north by the Arutai force.

Along the way, countless gold, silver, and furs were discarded, and there were ten major carts such as salt and tea obtained from the caravans of Warat and Uliangha.

The wheels fell off, the wooden box rolled to the ground, the lid of the box was lifted, and the tea bricks and salt bardo in the box were gone.

Benjamin's flesh hurt so much that Arutai didn't save face for him, so he got him on his horse, waved his whip, and galloped north.

"Great Khan, you can grab it again when the things are gone, and your life is gone, but everything is over!"

Is money or life important?

Arutai almost tore his face and pointed at Benjamin's nose and scolded the fool.

Fortunately, Benjamin was not stupid to the extreme, turned a corner halfway, and honestly ran away.

Although they were defeated one after another under the hands of Warat and Uliangha, after all, the main force was still there, and it was not fundamentally injured. Find a place where no one is there to recuperate, and make a comeback in the spring of next year, and you will have to get back all the losses today!

Arutai is not as optimistic as Benjamin.

His original plan was to take advantage of the cover of the defeated pawns to grab a handful on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and if he could not succeed, he would immediately retreat north. If it goes well, there will be food for the winter. If it doesn't work, it can also set up a suspicious formation, so that the Ming Dynasty has some scruples and delays the dispatch of troops.

What Arutai didn't expect was that Ma'er Ha and Dehuo Chi temporarily changed their hexagram and ran away with the team on their own! In this way, the expected strength of the army was directly halved, and when it met the main force of Uliangha, it was possible to get out with a loss of only 2,000 men, which is really thankful.

Arutai's henchmen avoided Benjamin and reported the return of the rangers, and that the loyal king of Hami, Tokhtok, was gathering an army and showing signs of sending troops.

Obviously, the Tatars were defeated by Warat and Uliangha one after another, which made Tokhtar and other tribal leaders who paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty moved. Even if you can't take advantage of the Tatars, you can get a lot of benefits by sending troops-rioting-disturbing and selling it to the Ming Dynasty.

"Taishi, what should I do if Hami sends troops?"

"Off!"

Arutai shook the horsewhip fiercely, if there was no help from the Ming Dynasty, even the things that couldn't sit on the throne would come to the well, really when he Arutai was made of paper paste, anyone could come and step on it?

"Keep exploring." Arutai had a gloomy face, "Send someone to send a message to Ma'er Ha and Dehuochi, if this Taishi is defeated and captured, who will be next, figure it out for yourself." ”

"Yes!"

The henchmen left, and Arutai turned to find Benjamin.

This former Yuan clan in Samarkand is an idiot with a lack of tendons in his head, but he has been tied to a rope with this idiot, and it is impossible to kick it away.

Arutai regretted it very much.

If you knew today, why rush to kill the ghost power!

After killing Ghost Lichi, why did he support such a good person?

It is also better for him to come to power himself than to prop up a fool. Even if it is as unjustifiable as Ghost Lichi, at least it won't come to this point. Before the Ming Dynasty army crossed the border, he became a rat crossing the street, and he was about to be cornered.

Compared with the discouraged Arutai, the corners of Wuliang Hasanwei grinned to the root of his ears, as if he was celebrating a festival.

Regardless of the head, just a few large boxes of gold and silver were enough for the strong men to set up bonfires, slaughter cattle and sheep, and celebrate.

"It's better not to touch these gold and silver."

Qi Liecai took two steps forward, approached the side of Taining Weidu Commander Hu Banhu, and said in a low voice: "If it is tea, bricks and salt, forget it, so much gold and silver, it is better to report it to the Son of Heaven." ”

"Escalate?" Kurabanhu furrowed his thick eyebrows, with a look of dissatisfaction, "The edict says that the capture of this battle does not need to be handed over. ”

"Nothing!" Beggar raised his voice slightly, "Even if the edict is written like this, it must be reported." His Majesty may not look at this bit of gold and silver, but he must understand that this is a rare opportunity! ”

"Opportunity?"

"Tai Ningwei's loyalty to His Majesty!" The beggar raised his voice, "Don't you want Your Majesty to look at him differently? ”

Kurabanhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood what he meant.

The Son of Heaven clearly decreed that Uliangha did not have to hand over the spoils of war, but the three guards of Uliangha could not really be pulled into their own tents, and they couldn't even play a single piece.

Zhu Di definitely won't want Wuliangha's things, but whether he plays it or not represents Sanwei's "loyalty" and "obedience", which is a matter of attitude.

"Yes, you're right!"

Kurabanhu clenched his fists and slammed the shoulders of the beggar hard, "Thankfully, you reminded him!" When I go back this time, I will definitely tell the commander of the capital to promote your official position! ”

"Thank you!"

Qi Lecai said again: "This matter can't be done alone, it's best to discuss it with Duoyan Weifu Yuwei's people." ”

"I know." Kurabanhu nodded, ordered the box to be sealed, let the beggar lead the people to stand aside, and turned around and went to Duoyanwei's camp.

The leaders who can hold real power in the three guards are not stupid people.

Kuraban Hu briefly explained, Ha'er, An Zhu and Tu Bushen all suddenly realized, and immediately ordered that all the seized gold and silver be sealed and reported to the Son of Heaven before being disposed of.

"Only seal gold and silver, tea bricks, salt, war horses and furs, and you don't have to report them, and bring them back to the tribe to share."

This decision was unanimously approved by the leaders of the war.

"Continue to send men to follow Arutai." "He's the most cunning wolf on the grassland, and he can't be given a chance to escape!" ”

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

But with the strength of Uliangha, he could not eat the Tatars, so he could only wait for the conquest army assembled in the border guards to leave the fortress.

"There is news from Weizhong that the holy driver is stationed in Daning. Take this gold and silver with you to Daning, beggee. ”

"Yes!"

"Uncle Xingning is on a tour of the north, and when you see your uncle, remember to help us all take it."

"Don't worry, you will definitely bring it."

Ha'er and the others agreed to divide 300 people to escort the gold and silver to Daning. The others split into two teams, one to carry the remaining booty back to the tribal garrison, and the other continued to patrol the border, sending out rangers to keep an eye on the Tatars.

The strong men knew in their hearts that the most difficult thing for the expedition was not to defeat the enemy, but to find the enemy. If you can accurately grasp the movements of Arutai and Benjamin, it will be a great achievement. At that time, see how those Jurchens still fight with themselves.

The strongest mercenary of the Ming Dynasty must be Wuliangha!

Savage Jurchen?

Wherever it is cool, where to rest.

If Meng knew what the strong men thought, he would definitely laugh three times. Since the beginning of Yongle, it has been arranged to provoke the relationship between the strong men and the Jurchen tribes, and now it has finally achieved results.

Under the suppression of strong men, can the Jurchens still develop and rise along the trajectory of history?

Unless the next meteorite rain smashes all the heads of the strong men out of the pit.

By the time the beggar set out on his way with the silver and gold, the holy chariot had already arrived in Daning.

With the entry of the Son of Heaven into the city, the imperial court added schools and called on the people to nominate talents, which were successively posted outside the city gate and the yamen of the three divisions.

Xing Ningbo suggested that the three divisions were short of manpower, so they could make literate inspectors, soldiers and the elderly preach in the middle school.

"Officials may be arranged in front of the city gate to read proclamations to the soldiers and civilians who enter and leave the city." Meng Dao, "In addition, the promotion of talents can be kept anonymous, and they can be directly prepared with a pen and paper or recorded by a special person." After assigning their names and places of origin, they will be sent to visit their places of origin and residence. If you insist on refusing, you can release the news in the people, and everyone will be golden, and the reputation of the reader is the most important, and the ...... will be at that time."

Uncle Meng said very quickly, Zhu Di nodded again and again, and suddenly saw that Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others were already blue, and they coughed hurriedly.

"Ahem!"

"Your Majesty?"

The words were interrupted, and Meng Yu was puzzled, until Zhu Gaosui squeezed his eyes at him, and glanced at Yang Shiqi and the others again, before he had an epiphany.

Laughed dryly, sorry, too excited.

scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, don't blame people for changing their faces.

Although I am not afraid of offending a few more people, I always have to work with the DPRK, so it is better not to poke people with needles and hurt their feet.

After a while, seeing that the faces of Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang and the others softened, Meng Cai breathed a sigh of relief. Before speaking, always be careful not to cross the line. Although the theme has not changed, the meaning is the same, at least it looks better on the surface.

"If there is no other discussion, this matter will be implemented according to Xingningbo's proposal."

What does he discuss?

Do you dare to have it?

No one spoke, Zhu Di immediately made a decision, just do it, Daning will do the pilot, if the effect is significant, it will be promoted to the whole country.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Meng shouted sincerely.

What other people think, is not his concern.

The matter was agreed, Meng retired, and the two emperors and grandsons followed, according to the rules, Meng Shaobao's class could not be stopped.

The King of Han and the King of Zhao had other important matters, and Shen Xuan had already set off for Xuanfu to join Xu Huizu. Meng was the deputy general of the Left Army, but he had to stay in Daning to accompany him until the official order to send troops was issued.

No one can change the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

The three divisions of Daning have been established, and after Emperor Yongle entered the city, he lived in the palace of Qianning Wangfu.

During this period, Zhu Di successively summoned Zhu Wang, the commander of the Daning Capital, and the leader of Duoyan Sanwei, and then asked the ambassador of the Taxation Division and the Miscellaneous Bureau to meet him, but he put aside the political envoy and the inspection envoy.

Dias was awarded an official position for his meritorious contribution to the drawings. Although he is not a director, he makes Dias so excited that he can't help himself. Putting on the official uniform, he gave the ambassador of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau a warm hug.

Two green tendons jumped on the ambassador's forehead, and the red hair was kicked into the air, almost becoming a star in the sky.

Dusting off his sleeves, the ambassador is very indifferent, he is in an important place in northern Xinjiang, how can he do it without any skills.

"O gods!"

Even after being kicked away, Dias still had a dreamy smile on his face, and everyone who saw it was suspicious that the red-haired man had been kicked stupidly by the ambassador.

On the day that Emperor Yongle summoned the ambassador of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanqi met Dias.

For Dias himself and Franco, the two emperors and grandsons were very interested. In particular, Zhu Zhanyan exerted a strong spirit of studiousness, and all kinds of problems were bombarded. By the time Meng asked the three-headed body away, Dias was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious. The interpreter is also a strong wiping of sweat, and the saint is so studious that he almost can't hold the scene.

"Good work." Meng Dao, "Later, the official asked five horses of silk to send to Mr. ”

Five horses of silk?

God!

The red hair suddenly came back to life with full blood on the spot.

Uncle Meng smiled and squinted, he hadn't seen him for a while, but this red hair hadn't changed much.

Since returning to Daning, Uncle Meng has always been in a good mood, smiling when he meets people. As everyone knows, such a performance really makes people's backs chill and hairy, including Dias.

The lord is very generous, but seeing the lord's smile, he still wants to turn around and run.

In the West Warm Pavilion of the Cunxin Palace, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhan Yan were meeting to study a map of Liaodong.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them looked up at the same time, and when they saw that it was Meng, they immediately got up, "Shaobao." ”

"Shizi."

Greeting each other, Meng didn't let the two of them sit down, but said: "Today is the day of the martial arts exam, can the two princes be interested in going to have a look?" ”

"Martial arts?" Zhu Zhanyan's eyes lit up, "But what did my father say about Daning martial arts?" ”

"Exactly." Meng Dao, "Martial arts exams, there are literary exams and martial arts exams. Today is a martial arts test, can the prince be interested? ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zhanyan nodded vigorously, "Shaobao, I'm going!" ”

Zhu Zhanji hesitated, "Does the emperor's grandfather know about this?" ”

"It is with the permission of His Majesty that the two princes can go to the school."

"Even so, go alone."

Meng smiled and asked people to get cloaks and fur hats for Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji.

"Daning is no better than Jinling, it is winter, and the prince should pay more attention."

"Xie Shaobao."

Zhu Zhanji has grown a lot more, and he is already a young man.

Zhu Zhan was chubby and short, wrapped in a cloak, and was more round like a ball.

Meng stretched out his hand, held it, stretched out his hand again, held it again, roared in his heart, and didn't dare to really pinch it after all.

Zhu Zhanyan couldn't understand Uncle Meng's entanglement, and when he saw that Meng was not moving, he raised his head, "Shaobao, when will you get up?" ”

Big eyes blinked, Meng took a deep breath, and told himself to calm down, really pinched, he was afraid that he would not see the sun next year.

"Right now."

Out of the warm pavilion door, a gust of wind swept by, Zhu Zhanyan grabbed the hem of Meng's clothes, "Shaobao." ”

The meaning of the three-headed body is very clear, to - hold.

Both the emperor's grandfather and father said that Shaobao is his own family and an elder.

Spoiled to his own family, there is no pressure on the three-headed body.

Uncle Meng's heart and liver began to tremble together, and as soon as he bent over, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui walked together. Seeing the three-headed body in the coquettish, the father immediately took a big step and brazenly cut off the beard.

"Uncle Wang."

"Father."

The green boy saluted, and the three-headed body grinned.

Uncle Meng inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again before he spit out four words from between his teeth, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

"Xingningbo is not feeling well?"

"Xia Guan is very good."

"That's good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Father has gone to the school. A car was prepared outside the house, and Xingningbo could ride with Zhan Yu. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, "The work of raising your hands, the matter of loneliness, Xingningbo does not have to be polite." ”

After the words fell, he turned around and left with his son in his arms.

Does a gentleman hug his grandson or not his son?

Hanwang said that he didn't know that there was such a rule.

Daning Martial Arts, on the school grounds, six teams lined up, each tied a different color-cloth towel to the neckline, rode in lunges, and caught and killed each other in the sound of drums.

The students selected by the Uliangha and the affiliated tribes had the best riding skills, followed by the Jurchens. The leaders of the bow and crossbow firearms in the battle formation are mostly the children of the border guards.

On a high platform far away from the school ground, Zhu Di was holding up his clairvoyance, looking at it with great interest.

Following behind the King of Han and the King of Zhao, Meng Gang ascended the high platform, and immediately a martial arts instructor stepped forward and handed him a roster.

"But the roster of the school grounds?"

"Uncle Hui, exactly."

Meng nodded, flipped through the pages, and presented the roster to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, this is a list of students, please take a look."

Zhu Di took the list, and saw that the place of origin, origin, and skills were listed in detail next to the name, and he couldn't help but praise: "This is very good!" ”

When the winners and losers were determined on the field, and between the rotation of teams, Zhu Zhanyan held clairvoyance, raised his head, and asked, "Father, why can this thing be seen so far?" ”

"This is clairvoyance."

"Can clairvoyance see a thousand miles? Is that a thousand miles of eye? ”

“……”

"Shao Bao said, my father is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he may solve his son's doubts?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glared at someone angrily.

Meng scratched his chin, lowered his head, and took two steps back.

It's a good thing to be studious, and fathers should solve their children's doubts.

Erudite or something...... He is to establish a tall image for the King of Han, which is completely "good-intentioned".

In the school field, the drums of war rose again, and martial arts students began a new round of competition.

After three drums, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the clear sky, and the wind suddenly rose. Everyone thought that the rain and snow were coming, so they asked the holy driver to move to the school for a while.

As soon as he got off the high platform, suddenly a thunderbolt was slashing on the high platform, which happened to be the position where Emperor Yongle was standing before, and the flagpole on the side instantly caught fire.

Zhu Di's face was pale.

If he was still on stage, who would be the one who struck the thunderbolt?

When today's events are spread, what will the people of the world say?

"Your Majesty......"

Someone wanted to say something, but Zhu Di's eyes were swept away, and he was suddenly silent.

King Han and King Zhao subconsciously went to see Meng.

Uncle Meng lived up to expectations, stepped forward, raised his arms, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a good omen!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the brothers who had high hopes for him wanted to cover their faces.

Auspicious?

Thunder in winter, Wang Qi fire, which auspicious omen?

Meng said: "The thunder came from the north, and the king's flag caught fire, so it should be the dragon that fell from the sky!" Your Majesty's soldiers are invincible, and there will be a great victory! ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Gaoxu & Zhu Gaosui: "......"

Accompanying official: "......"

Xingningbo, really talented!

At this time, Du Si sent someone to report, "Uliangha defeated the Tatars in the north of the Krulun River, and the leader of the Tainingwei led the people to transport hundreds of gold and silver, and they have arrived outside the city gate. ”

Brush!

Everyone's eyes focused on Uncle Meng, and they collectively fell silent.

Is there really a big win?

It is reported that Xing Ningbo Bo is a senior apprentice of Young Master Yao, could it be that he really has the ability that ordinary people can't match?

Touching his nose, Meng looked at the sky at the forty-fifth angle.

Again, luck comes, and you really can't stop it.
