In October of the sixth year of Yongle, the Son of Heaven drove to the Hejian Mansion and ordered Duoyan Sanwei to go out to patrol the imperial edict to Daning.

Daning Du commanded the envoy to inform the leaders of the Uliangha that the Son of Heaven had a will, and the Tatars had newly defeated Warat, and the road to the north was blocked, so they turned to the east and were very likely to commit a border.

"When an enemy comes to attack, you can attack it."

In short, if you don't come, if you dare to come, you will be killed.

Duoyan, Fuyu, and the leaders of the three guards of Taining were overjoyed when they received the edict.

Whether Arutai is really crazy or not, they don't care. This order of the Son of Heaven really suited their hearts.

The caravan that went out to trade was robbed, and the strong men had already held back their anger. Helplessly, the imperial army gathered the border guards, and the Duke of Wei ruled the army very strictly, and did not dare to move without orders. Otherwise, it is a crime of disobeying the emperor's order, the crime of losing his head, not disobeying the emperor's order, and disobeying the military order are pressed down, and he can't eat and walk around.

For example, when the strong men of Wuliang Ha saw Dingguogong, they were worried, like a rabbit seeing a tiger. Replaced by Wei Guogong, it is not much better.

When it was difficult to go to Jingjing today, Duoyan Sanwei fought with Wei State Bus, and after the war, it was concluded that the emperor's brother-in-law's hand was black and close to Dingguo Gong. Unless necessary, it must not be provoked.

The Son of Heaven ordered the three guards to go out to meet the enemy, which was tantamount to unlocking the tight spell on the heads of the strong men.

What a joy!

"Benjamin is not to be feared, and he is not as good as the ghost power." Duo Yanwei has fought with Zhihar and Ghost Li Chi Arutai, and he knows Tatar very well, "Arutai is difficult to deal with. ”

"Not really." Beggar should go to the capital, he has gained knowledge, and he has Meng Qingyan, among the big and small leaders of Tainingwei, his status has risen sharply, and he is quite confident in speaking, "The current Arutai has long lost its former glory, otherwise it would not be easily defeated by Mahamu." ”

"You mean?"

"Arutai is cunning, but it depends on who he compares with. Kill the ghost Li Chi, support Benjamin, if you continue to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, there is still room for turnaround. Killing the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and angering the Son of the Great Tomorrow is the way forward. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fist, clenched, released, and clenched again.

The joints made a clicking sound, which made the strong men in the tent uncontrollable hot blood.

"The Tatars are newly defeated, and they fled in a hurry, we will wait for our work, if there is no big victory, it will inevitably make those Jurchens look down!"

Begging's words touched the most sensitive nerves of the strong men.

As a gold medal fighter of the Ming Dynasty, the strongest foreign aid, even for the sake of rich rewards, no one is allowed to challenge his status. Belonging to the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen departments of Liaodong, who are also good at riding and shooting, have naturally become a thorn in the side of the strong men.

If the Jurchens want to rise, they must let the Ming court see their own value. If you want money or not, if you want technology without technology, only the ability to fight on horses can still be used, even if the overall strength is not as good as that of Uliangha, for the development of the tribe, you must also compete hard.

Although the population of the Jurchen tribe is a hard wound, it is fierce and brave, and it is not weaker than the Mongol cavalry, which is enough to attract the attention of the imperial court.

Jianzhou Wei, Mao Lianwei, and Hu'er Wenwei began to emerge one after another. The Son of Heaven ordered the expedition to the desert, and the chief military officer of Liaodong specially recommended Heha and others, with Meng Shan's face, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, would not leave people dry. Be active, move up and down, you can't enter the Chinese army, and it's not impossible to get a striker.

"Yes, you can't let this group of Jurchens see it all!"

Pull out the Jurchen as a target, and the words of the beggar immediately resonate.

Duoyan Weidu commanded Tongzhi Ha'er to immediately order, gather the official army of Weizhong, send scouts, and attack immediately once the traces of the Tatar cavalry were found.

"The Son of Heaven has ordered us to go out to meet the enemy, and we will definitely win a big victory!"

Fu Yu Wei commanded the envoy to pull out the saber and said viciously: "The Tatars robbed us of our salt and tea, and killed the warriors of Uliangha, and this revenge must be avenged!" ”

"Revenge!"

"Kill Benjamin and capture Arutai alive!"

The crowd was excited, and the leaders quickly dispersed, and quickly gathered their warriors to do pre-battle mobilization and assign combat missions.

The head sent to the door, don't cut it for nothing!

According to Xingningbo's words, it is the right time to dig a pit and fill the soil and fall into the well!

Wu Liangha's actions soon reached Zhu Di's ears.

Emperor Yongle was very satisfied with the performance of the strong men, and specially sent people to Beijing to inform Xu Huizu that if necessary, he could send infantry to support the actions of Duoyan Sanwei.

"If you win a big victory, you don't care about the capture, you will only be rewarded with the first rank."

The eunuch left in a hurry with the Son of Heaven's edict.

Meng who was standing on the side couldn't help but smack his tongue, no matter how much he robbed, he didn't have to hand it over to the imperial court, and digested it all by himself?

It is reported that Benjamin lost his head and lacked tendons, but the robbery methods were first-class. If the main force of disturbance is not Arutai and Maerha, but him, Uliangha will definitely make a fortune.

This is the so-called fortune is coming, and it can't be stopped?

Scratching my chin, I'm really envious.

Zhu Di didn't know what Meng Zheng was thinking, if he knew, he would probably be quite speechless.

With Meng's current net worth, do you still need to envy the little thing in Benjamin's hands?

It's no wonder that Zhu Di has a high vision, Da Ming at this time is completely rich and handsome standing at the top of the pyramid. In the eyes of the rich and handsome Zhu Laosi, the three melons and two dates in Tatar's hand are not worth remembering, and he may not be willing to bend down to pick them up when he falls in front of him.

Therefore, it is not for nothing that Uncle Meng is still hating the rich in a high position.

gave an order to Wu Liangha, Zhu Di was in a good mood, and turned to the officials of the entourage to ask for advice, how to deal with the matter of Yunnan according to the envoy Chen Minyan's request for additional schools.

Among the civil officials of Suihu, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, has the highest official position, and he is also a typical practical talent, and he has already had a case for what Chen Yushi played. Zhu Di looked at it and immediately spoke: "The minister thinks that what Chen Yushi played is in line with the people's feelings and the work of the imperial court's education, and it can be followed." ”

Zhu Di did not nod immediately, and asked Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi and others one after another, and the answers they got were similar, all of them believed that the addition of Confucianism in Yunnan was a major event beneficial to the community, and it should be accurate.

Originally, Yang Rong should also be in the list of drivers, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and he got out of trouble on the grounds of his father's illness earlier, creating a precedent for Yongle Dynasty to stay without pay.

But there are two sides to the story.

missed the opportunity to tour the north with Hu, but weakened Emperor Yongle's dislike for him. He will recover, and seventy percent may be promoted to two levels.

When Hu Guang and others expressed their opinions, Meng remained silent. It's not that he doesn't have ideas, it's just that he thinks more and deeper.

In the recital delivered by the capital, why did Emperor Yongle put forward Chen Minyan's recital invitation? If he said that he had no other intentions, Meng Dare immediately went to compete with Grandpa Guo.

Chen Yushi said in the recital that since Hongwuzhong, schools have been set up in the southwestern provinces to teach and educate students, so that all students in the prefectures and counties can learn the scriptures and educate them. And make the local political envoy just like the Central Plains, every three years. However, the southwest is far away from the capital, and most of them are local officials, and the rules of the school are narrow, and the Confucian school officials are superficial in learning, vulgar, and incompetent. There are very few people who can lift in the middle.

"The ministers asked the court not to choose the etiquette, to know the scriptures, and to teach the monks of the Ming practice, and there is a law for education. Cover to preach and educate, so that the local people know the virtue of the Son of Heaven. ”

Chen Yushi's sloppiness was reasonable and well-founded, in line with the basic policy of the imperial court to educate the border people, and was sent to the capital and sent to the line overnight.

If Emperor Yongle hadn't deliberately brought up this matter, Meng wouldn't have thought too much.

Thinking of Yang Duo's mention of the southwest, combined with Shen Xuan's words, a thought flashed in his mind.

Southwest, Confucianism?

The Son of Heaven cut King Ping's Lu, which seems to be related to his private school in Guizhou.

Emperor Yongle's dissatisfaction with the scholars and doctors had accumulated to a certain extent, and it was bound to explode. Chen Minyan's sparseness, the eight achievements are an introduction.

Meng suddenly had a thrill.

Glancing at Emperor Yongle, it is no wonder that Grandpa Guo told him that there is no need to worry about the affairs of the southwest. Whoever Emperor Yongle wants to clean up, even if it is his own son, he can only obediently wash his neck and wait for the knife.

If he guessed correctly, what should he do? Continue to be silent, or hand over a knife at the right time?

Everyone present didn't seem to realize the fundamental intention of the Son of Heaven. Or is it deliberately pretending to be stupid when you have a guess in your heart?

The people present were all the emperor's irons on the surface. Emperor Yongle wants to attack the scholars, and basically will not attack them, and may take the opportunity to solve a few opponents. With the usual style of these people, they may not pretend to be confused.

But it seems that Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others can pretend to be confused, but Meng cannot.

Compared with Mingzhe to protect himself, it is better to hand the knife to the emperor quickly.

If you want to continue to gain a foothold in the court, you must have enemies. If there is no enemy, make an enemy for yourself.

The whole dynasty is full of friends, and everyone says good things, what do you want to do?

Learn from Wang Mang?

Moreover, the relationship between him and the civilian-official group is already incompatible, and adding a few more cracks is more conducive to hugging Zhu Di's thighs.

Thinking of this, Meng took a half step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Speak."

"The minister thinks that those who go to school, where talents come out, must be taught to win people, and then learn to rely on. Today, the four are razed and settled, and the people who come from all directions to the court, and those who admire the civilization of our dynasty do not know how many. In the southwest borderland, although the scholars have the desire to learn, the learning rules are simple, the teachers are mediocre, and they do not live up to their expectations. It wasted time in vain and lived up to the beauty of the imperial court's education and education. ”

At this point, Meng paused, Zhu Di shook his head, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others also showed their expressions of approval. No matter what you think of Meng himself, these words have spoken to everyone's hearts and are quite realistic.

"Go on." Yongle Emperor Road.

"Yes." Meng cleared his throat, "Fortunately, Your Majesty Shengming, you will select talents to patrol the Quartet and play all the things in the school." ”

Before, it was a matter of facts, and this sentence was a clear slap-dragon-fart, and it was quite natural.

Zhu Di was photographed very comfortably,

Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi couldn't move, but Hu Guangjin Youzi was twitching at the corners of his mouth.

Since the three years of Yongle, the Hanlin Academy has been busy repairing books, and most of the feats of Uncle Meng have been heard and not seen. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have to admit that just this dragon-fart skill-trick, ordinary people have to learn it for a while, and they may not be able to get its essence.

Meng doesn't care what others think, the pokes of the eunuchs and the friends of the Jinyi Guard are covered, Yu Chen? Mere trifle!

"The minister thinks that the importance of the school is the first priority of the Confucian teacher. If you learn from a Master, you can also become a person of learning and a talented person. ”

Zhu Di finally smiled, "In your opinion, how should Confucian teachers choose?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that there is a famous place between the mountains and rivers."

"Oh?" Zhu Di habitually began to knock his fingers again, "Eryan is a sign of the imperial court?" ”

"The minister thinks that he can announce to the world and show the people to increase Confucianism in the imperial court and recruit Confucian teachers." Meng Dao, "The proclamation should say that the heart of the students should study, the meaning of the imperial court's wide propaganda and education, and the applicants must be elegant and clear people." ”

The speaker seems to be unconscious, and the listener's expression is a little subtle.

What should be recruited by Coats, what should not be recruited?

"It can also be recommended by the people to list the name of Su Confucian virtue and talent on the proclamation." Whether it is really the people's will-push-lift, or the brocade guard-dark-box-operation-work-, just look at Zhu Di's intentions.

Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and the others gasped.

Elected? Still want to be listed?

Black, really black!

The imperial court was recruited as an official, and it should not be called, and it can be said that it is indifferent to fame and fortune.

If you ignore it, the four words of fame and reputation will be 100% smashed on the head. It will also be doubted by people about the authenticity of a body of learning.

If there is a real talent, why should it not be called? He did not go to the imperial court to be an official, but to teach and educate people in Confucianism and educate barbarians. A good thing that works in the future, but it has to be rejected, in addition to poor learning, afraid of missing the foundation, what other explanation?

Hei Cheng is still not over like this, Uncle Meng is still continuing to dig pits.

"If there are still people who are high-minded, their rice can be attributed to the school to reward the intelligent and diligent students."

Lofty? Don't get contaminated with copper odor?

Okay, if you don't pay your salary, change it into a scholarship for students, and ensure that your sleeves are clean, what else is there to say?

If you don't teach Confucianism seriously, it is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.

Lashing out at Zhu Di? The saliva of the people can drown people. It is simply unconscionable for such a holy and virtuous king who thinks about the people to criticize!

"The minister thinks that outside the southwest, northern Xinjiang also needs a large number of Confucian teachers."

If it is not as high as the scholars and doctors, it is better than digging a pit and burying people. If necessary, the pit can be dug deeper and a few bamboo thorns can be buried.

Pressing you with fame, pushing you by public opinion, continue to resist, a sentence of "not worthy of the name, selling fame and reputation, fake and high", the pit can kill you!

So, obediently respond to the call of the Son of Heaven and go to the place where the motherland needs it most!

This is a conspiracy, which is clearly placed on the table.

In addition to Confucianism, there can also be martial arts, arithmetic, medicine, etc. The six arts of a gentleman, both civil and military, should not be abandoned. Tai-Emperor Zugao said that the sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty. Please Your Majesty carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, restore the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties, conquer the sea, deter the north and the south, and create an immortal cause! ”

The military generals who did not have a lawyer, when they heard Meng's last sentence, they would involuntarily feel their blood surge, not realizing at all that the ending was a bit off-topic.

"Good!" Zhu Di slapped the table case, and his excitement was overflowing, "That is, Congqing's words." ”

Meng's words made Zhu Di very satisfied, far exceeding expectations.

If it is really implemented in the discussion, not to mention that all talents in the world are in the urn, it can also trap most scholars and doctors.

It seems a little ridiculous, but in the Ming Dynasty, where everything was possible, Uncle Meng handed out this long knife called "fame", which was sharp enough without grinding.

Zhu Di immediately ordered Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang and Jin Youzi to summarize and polish what Meng said. If the reading is correct, it will be sent to the capital immediately, and the transcription will be distributed to all prefectures and counties, and the yamen will be posted, and the township will be announced by a special person.

Yang Shiqi and the three of them received the order, thanking the Son of Heaven for giving him a "heavy responsibility", and they were all smiling bitterly in their hearts.

The idea was Xingningbo's idea, but it was summarized and polished by the three of them. When the news came out, Xingningbo was criticized verbally and written, and they couldn't get rid of their involvement, and the criticism they received would be even stronger.

Xingningbo's reputation is well known to everyone, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? The three of them are from serious academic backgrounds, and they are not much better if they are not drowned by saliva.

Did the Son of Heaven do it on purpose?

Hu Guangjin frowned, didn't dare to complain about Zhu Di, could only stare at the culprit and kill people with his eyes.

Yang Shiqi bowed his hand to Meng, "Uncle is talented, and the officials admire him." ”

For the cautious Yang Shiqi to say this, Meng Du was taken aback. Whether there is an extended meaning or not, I don't intend to care. After all, these three can be regarded as being cheated by him once.

Although, it is true that he did not mean to.

In October of the sixth year of Yongle, the Son of Heaven issued an order to build a school on his northern tour, and asked the people to recommend talents.

In the same month, the Tatar cavalry, which had wandered to the area of the Khulun River, was discovered by the Uliangha scouts.

The leaders of the three guards of Wuliang Ha were not ambiguous at all, and they were sure that they were not suspicious soldiers or ambushes, so they picked up their knives and chased after them with the assembled tribal warriors.

The two sides fought a great battle on the banks of the Kruren River.

The Tatar cavalry that was found was the part of Benjami and Arutai, and the troops of Ma'erha'a and Dehuochi had already parted ways with the two and marched north along the Hami border.

If Ma Ha and Tuo Huo Chi didn't leave with the team, the three guards of Wuliang Ha would have to weigh whether they would find an opportunity to sneak attack first and weaken the opponent's strength. Now, there's no need to go through that hassle at all.

The improved tiger squat cannon of the Daning Miscellaneous Bureau was launched on horseback, and the bursts of bows, crossbows, and arm-long short guns shot out in the gallop.

Dressed in leather armor and brandishing sabers, the brawny men formed a charging formation, like sharp chisels, and fiercely slashed into the vanguard of Arutai.

The horses slammed into each other, blades rubbing against each other, causing a piercing buzz.

Blood soon stained the riverbank.

Uliangha is brave, and Arutai is cunning. The two sides fought hard.

In the middle of the battle, two thousand-strong cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield - flank - flank.

One was a cavalry in advance of the Tatars, and the other was a contingent of troops from Kaipingwei to reinforce Uliangha. The leader of the team is the grandson of the Duke of Jingguo, Chen Ji, who shined in the Yulinwei competition.

On another battlefield, the artillery of the Ming army finally pushed in front of Hanyang City, and the Korean War was about to come to an end.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven set out from Hejian Province and continued north. The destination was not Beiping, but was diverted halfway and went straight to Daning.
