Meng hesitated in Shen Xuan's tent, and only felt hot with the gift list, and more than a dozen fully loaded carriages had driven into Mengjiatun.

The coachmen were all soldiers dressed in the jackets of the Yan army, and a hundred households in cyan military attache uniforms jumped out of the first carriage, which was Zhou Rong, who had worked with Meng in Kaipingwei.

The convoy alarmed Meng Chongjiu and others, and when they came out, they learned that Zhou Rong and the others had no bad intentions, and they did not come to draw Ding Zhuang, but went to Twelve Lang's house to give gifts.

"Meng Yishi has been promoted to Tongzhi, this is a command of a little heart."

Before coming, Zhou Rong also wondered, but the New Year is not a holiday, why Commander Shen suddenly gave gifts to Meng Tongzhi's family. There is no shortage of grain, cloth, spices, and cakes, and there are a lot of copper coins, gold and silver, and a few living things.

Could it be that Meng Tongzhi has been promoted, and the commander wants to further befriend him? You don't need to send geese, do you?

The fact that a military man is careless does not mean that he does not understand the world. Can geese be sent casually? It's still a pair hunted by Commander Shen himself, alive! If it weren't for Meng Tongzhi's lack of sisters at home, eighty percent of the military men who sent things would have thought that this was an appointment.

Zhou Rong Dao made his intentions clear, Meng Chongjiu immediately sent someone to inform the Meng Wang clan, and asked someone to invite a few clan elders to send tea, and by the way, inquire about how Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang are in the army now.

Twelve Lang is a capable person, and it has only been a few days since he was promoted again. From the military attache of Sanpin, just listening to it, the legs of many clansmen trembled a little.

"Meng Hu?" Zhou Rong took the tea bowl and thought for a while, "If it's Meng Wulang of Yanshan's guard, I know it." Meng Wulang is a good person, and now he is a general banner, and sooner or later he can be promoted to 100 households. ”

Zhou Rong's words fell, Meng Chongjiu thanked him repeatedly, and asked about Meng Qingjiang again.

Raising his head to drink dry tea, Zhou Rong wiped his mouth, "Meng Qingjiang? Zhilu Dao, the same is the general banner of the Yanshan guard, the famous battle is not dead, and the brothers admire it. ”

As someone else, Zhou Rong may not be willing to say it in such detail, and only picks up good words. Replaced by Meng's people, it would be different.

Who is Meng Tongzhi? has been praised by His Royal Highness King Yan many times, and as a servant, he can enter and exit the king's tent and obey orders. There is also Commander Shen who values friendship, and it is reported that the Buddha in the palace also accepted him as an apprentice.

is not as weak as the crown, from the military attache of the third grade, since the founding of the dynasty, I can't find a few with wide eyes.

In the first battle of Baigou River, Meng Yiyi beheaded five levels, slashed eight people, and made a fire attack to break Li Jinglong's Chinese army camp. After this battle, when it came to Meng Tongzhi, the defender of Yanshan, no one dared to despise him as a sour ding, such a feat, he was definitely worthy of being called a "man"!

Of course, it can't be compared with a fierce man like Commander Shen. But in the eyes of ordinary military men, it is quite remarkable.

Commander Shen personally prepared a heavy gift, and Meng Tongzhi knew that in the future, he would definitely be prosperous in official fortunes. When the prince achieves great things, it is not impossible to be knighted.

While thinking about it, Zhou Rong seemed more enthusiastic when he talked to Meng Chongjiu and the others.

The Meng Wang family learned the news at home, and thanked the clansmen who came to deliver the letter, and together with their two daughters-in-law, they cleaned up the hall and prepared tea. The third sister and the fifth sister also came together to help, the people were not big, and the work was very neat.

Rao was mentally prepared, and when he saw more than a dozen fully loaded carriages, Meng Wangshi was also taken aback.

Should such a heavy gift be accepted? Twelve Lang hadn't sent a letter home before, and Meng Wangshi couldn't help but feel anxious. turned his head to look at Meng Chongjiu, and wanted to ask him to help him get an idea. Meng Chongjiu was also a little surprised, seeing Zhou Baihu mentioning the appearance of the three acquaintances of Twelve Lang, he also thought that Meng Wang's family had received the letter in advance.

There are so many things, no matter what, Twelve Lang should also talk to the family, right?

Even if Meng Chongjiu and Meng Wang's family thought about it, they couldn't imagine that Shen Xuan didn't tell Meng before giving the gift, and only gave him a list after the gift was given.

It's a real cut before playing.

"I've seen the old lady."

King Yan can confer officials on his subordinates, but he can't be knighted, let alone given orders. Only by really entering Nanjing, driving Emperor Jianwen off the dragon chair, and replacing him, can he have this power.

Therefore, Meng Wang's family has no fate, but as Meng Tongzhi's mother, it is not an exaggeration for Zhou Rong to call her an old lady.

Ready to send the gift list, Zhou Rong ordered his subordinates to carry a pair of geese, two foxes and a nest of rabbits off the carriage, and said: "This is the commander's heart, and please accept the old lady with a smile." ”

The fox and the rabbit were fine, but seeing the pair of geese, Meng Wangshi was a little stupid.

Last time, Luan Fengyu Pei, this time it was a pair of geese, even if Meng Wang's heart was wider than the Yellow River, he had to think more.

If you don't accept it, you are afraid that you will lose the face of Commander Shen and make it difficult for Twelve Lang to do in the army. Accept it, what's going on?

Meng Wangshi looked at the wild goose, very entangled, and his brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

Meng Chongjiu didn't know about Luan Dao Luan Fengyu Pei, but he only felt that it was really strange for this pair of geese to be sent. But Shen Xuan sent not only this living thing, but also foxes and rabbits, thinking about it like this, I felt that I had a lot of heart.

No matter what Meng Wang and Meng Chongjiu thought, the gift was delivered, Zhou Rong's task was completed, and he turned around and shouted at the soldiers to move quickly, and they had to leave after unloading the car.

Meng Wangshi hurriedly asked Meng, Zhou Rong clenched his fists, and said: "Old lady, don't worry, Meng Tongzhi is all right in the army." ”

After the words fell, he supported himself with one arm and jumped on the wheel, and Meng Wangshi watched the convoy go away and closed the gate.

In the hall, the two daughters-in-law were touching the cloth like a hill, picking out a few plain ones, and discussing how to tailor the family.

The third and fifth sisters looked curiously at the nest of rabbits in the cage, their eyes shining.

Seeing Meng Wang's coming in, Meng Xu and Meng Zhang stopped their movements and stepped forward to help Meng Wang's sit down. The mother-in-law's face was not very good, and they also put away their previous joy.

Could it be that this gift can't be accepted?

"Don't think about it." Meng Wang's patted his two daughters-in-law, and called his two granddaughters to his side, "Everything is collected, we keep the food for ourselves, pick out some brightly colored cloths and give them to the clansmen." Before, your second and third cousins loosened two lambs for our family, and the favor must be returned. ”

Meng Wang handed the gift list to the two daughters-in-law, and looking at the long list listed on it, both Meng Zhang and Meng Xu began to dizzy.

Food alone is enough for a family to feed for several years. Hearing that Meng Wang's family wants to send cloth, the concubines are still a little reluctant, according to this gift list, it is not enough to send cloth alone, and eighty percent of those spices and pastries will be sent.

"Mother, what should I do with all this gold, silver, copper coins and jade?"

When the things were delivered, the whole tun people saw it, if someone had a bad heart, the family of orphans and widows, and Twelve Lang was not there, how could it be good.

"These are all pressed under the grain, and your ninth uncle doesn't know what to do."

What the daughter-in-law can think of, Meng Wang's family will naturally not ignore.

"Let's put away the things, and take care of the third sister and the fifth sister, don't leak your mouth outside. It's not for the mother to be stingy, in the end, people's hearts are unpredictable. Twelve Lang is fighting outside, and there is no man in our family, so we must be more careful in everything, and don't cause trouble for the family. ”

Meng Wang's expression was serious, and the two daughters-in-law responded respectfully: "Yes." ”

Third Sister Meng and Fifth Sister Meng also walked up to Wang Meng, "Grandmother, granddaughter are obedient and don't talk nonsense." ”

"Good boy." Meng Wang smiled with relief, and pulled the two granddaughters into his arms, "Until Twelve Lang returns, these gold, silver and copper coins can't be moved." ”

"Mother, daughter-in-law understands."

The Meng Xu clan and the Meng Zhang clan re-selected the cloth, picked out the bright colors that could not be used for the time being, and gave them to the clansmen according to the instructions of the Meng Wang clan.

The clan elders prepared spices, salt and a small half of mutton, and Meng Guangshun and Meng Guangyou's families added an extra percent, even Meng Guangxiao did not fall.

"Mother, where will the lobby uncle also deliver?" Meng Zhang's family was a little unhappy, that family, except for Shiro, there was no good person.

"Send it, why not send it?"

Meng Guangxiao can be unkind, and Twelve Lang can't be unjust. In any case, you can't give Twelve Lang a cold reputation. If his son can't think of it, Wang Meng's family will help his son do it.

Meng Xu pulled Meng Zhang's for a while, "Do what my mother said, it's just a piece of cloth, so you don't have to talk about it." ”

Awkward, Meng Zhang didn't want to disobey his mother-in-law's wishes, so he closed his mouth and didn't speak.

In the evening, smoke rises from the tunzi, and the smell of food wafts from every house.

Third Sister Meng and Fifth Sister Meng carried two boxes of pastries and came to Meng Chongjiu's house hand in hand, explaining their intentions.

"Grandmother said that this matter will bother the great-grandfather."

The little girl looks cute, speaks crisply, and is not ordinary and endearing.

Hearing that the Meng Wang clan was going to send cloth to the clansmen, a trace of understanding flashed in Meng Chongjiu's eyes.

"Okay, go back and tell your grandmother that I should do this."

When the carriage entered the tun, the tribesmen saw it. Since the three of them joined the army, they will send something home during the New Year's holidays, but it is the first time that such a big gesture has been made. Knowing that the gift was given by Meng's Shangguan, everyone was even more envious. It's not that there are no red eyes, but who doesn't have a twelve-lang in their own house?

The Meng Wang clan wanted to send cloth to the clansmen, but even Meng Guangxiao's family was not left behind, and the people who said sour words before couldn't help but have a hot face. Thinking of Meng Guangzhi's generosity and various benefits back then, it is inevitable to sigh, no wonder people can make a fortune, this open-mindedness is really incomparable.

The cloth is only the beginning, but the mutton and spices given to the elders of the clan are the main thing. This gift is given, and in the future, there will be no one who will not open his eyes to say that the Twelve Lang family is not, and the clan elder will not let it go.

The Twelve Lang family is benevolent and righteous, and if they pour dirty water on such a person, they should be thundered by the sky.

After the things were delivered, Meng Wang's family breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, thought about it, took out the copper coins and treasure money he had accumulated and distributed them to his two daughters-in-law.

Meng Xu and Meng Zhang wanted to refuse, but Meng Wang said: "Take it, our family will only be better in the future." Twelve Lang said, I want to give the two girls ten miles of red makeup, usually see the one who fits, and slowly prepare the two girls. ”

"Mother......

"Hachiro Jiulang is gone, the two girls and their uncle, they will be blessed in the future! If there is another broken mouth talking about two girls without a father, you just have to spit it on your face! ”

"Yes." Meng Xu's eyes were a little red, "Mother, don't worry, when the uncle becomes a family, I will give you a few more fat grandchildren, and that will be the blessing of our family." ”

Meng Wangshi also smiled, his eyes swept over the two geese in the hall, and his smile condensed slightly.

Big fat grandson?

The second year of Jianwen, May

King Yan successively mobilized his troops and began the first step of rushing out of Hebei and marching into the whole country.

Before sending troops to Shandong, King Yan listened to Daoyan's suggestion and released Gao Wei who was locked in the palace.

Before Gao Wei could figure out what was going on, he was put in a carriage, stuffed with a earnestly worded letter in his arms, and set out on a journey back to Nanjing.

The coachman and the accompanying guards were all the entourage brought by the Southern Army and Gao Wei who were rebelled by King Yan, sitting in the carriage, Gao Shenjun, who had successfully jumped from watermelon to super big nest melon, staring at King Yan who saw him off in person, and he couldn't pounce on it-hand-to-hand-to-hand, and he couldn't get angry if he couldn't fight.

Zhu Di let him go back to Nanjing at this time, and he was definitely not at ease.

With a big poke of anti-thieves in his head, when he returned to Nanjing, even if he grabbed the land with his head, the emperor would not believe him, and would only regard him as a fine work sent by King Yan.

Gentlemen and ministers are separated, colleagues are suspicious, and friends are spurned.

Gao Wei could almost have predicted the tragic fate of his return to Nanjing, but he had to go back.

King Yan is an anti-thief, Emperor Jianwen is orthodox, swear to death, he will not be a thief!

It's a pity that no matter how firm Gao Wei's will is and how well he is prepared, with his current external conditions and mainstream public opinion, Emperor Jianwen will not believe him if he is killed. The more loyal and unyielding you are, the more suspicious you become; The more you cry and complain that you have been treated inhumanely, the more unbelievable it becomes.

What everyone saw was just a hypocrite who ate and drank well on King Yan's territory, changed the court, and in turn made the former boss infernal and innocent, a real villain.

Gao Wei has nowhere to complain, it is impossible to die with his will, Emperor Jianwen will definitely not let him die, otherwise, the benevolent image he has painstakingly created will collapse.

Gao Wei lived a good life on the territory of King Yan, and gained a lot of weight, but when he returned to Nanjing, he died in a blink of an eye, saying that he committed suicide, which was as difficult as proving that he did not join Yan. Coupled with Gao Wei's status among scholars, the saliva sprayed on Emperor Jianwen will definitely not be less.

Death is greater.

Gao Wei is alive, he is a second minister, and everyone scolds him.

Gao Wei is dead, Emperor Jianwen is a faint king, tyrannical-abusive-suspicious, there is no room for people, and he has to be scolded.

The mouth and pen of the scholar are just like the sharpened knives and guns in the hands of the warriors, and they are extremely sharp. Cut down, and the knife will see blood.

It's not enough to cut it in the court, make a few poems, write a few sentences, and write a few words in your spare time, and the image of Emperor Jianwen's faint monarch will surely leap onto the paper and be more plump.

Zhu Di hit this idea.

At the beginning, Emperor Jianwen sent Gao Wei to Beiping, and he was so angry several times that he wanted to cut people with a knife. Now the feng shui takes turns, and the people are sent back to see what to do with the yellow-mouthed child.

Keeping it can only respond to yourself. Kill it, and don't want a good name.

As a successful bad middle-aged man, he was scolded and rebelled by a group of scholars, Zhu Di just plucked out his ears, blew his breath, and let you scold, waiting for the country to arrive, and Lao Tzu will settle the account with you!

Emperor Jianwen, who was excellent in both learning and learning, but his psychological endurance was a little weak, was so verbally criticized that he had a nervous breakdown if he didn't vomit blood.

It doesn't matter if people send it back, Zhu Di also wrote a handwritten letter to Emperor Jianwen, bitterly saying that Chen was a traitor in the court, and regarded Emperor Tai-Zugao's decree as nothing. The name of the yamen and the rank of the officials are all changed as soon as they are said, which is simply a big rebellion!

The laws and rituals of the national dynasty are all the painstaking efforts of Emperor Zugao, and they are the laws of the ancestors, how can they be said to be changed? Absolutely not! Absolutely not!

Although the emperor deposed Qitai Huang Zicheng from his official position, there are still many traitors in the court, and they must be swept away!

In order to exterminate the traitors, the great cause of Jingnan must be carried on!

King Yan said that he would lead many people with lofty ideals, follow the instructions of Emperor Tai-Zugao, hold high the banner of Jingnan, hit Hebei, enter Shandong, and enter Nanjing.

Therefore, the emperor does not have to worry, just wait for his uncle to come to the door in Nanjing.

"The minister is loyal, and the world can be expressed!"

I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless!

Is there a lower limit to this?

After reading this letter, Emperor Jianwen did not vomit blood, and fainted directly.

Gao Wei, who was kneeling in the hall, was immediately dragged down.

Gao Wei struggled to pounce, and the two Han generals were so tired that their faces were covered with sweat, so they could only call a few more helpers to carry Gao Senjun out of the palace gate.

Stunned the emperor, and those who were not the initiators were also regarded as accomplices, Gao Wei soon lost his official position, was deprived of all political-political-rights, and was locked up at home to think about it. Visitors are not allowed.

The Yanwang faction, led by Xu Zengshou, the governor of Zuodu, suddenly jumped out and gathered some officials to cry out for Gao Wei.

The words were convincing, and he shouted loudly: Gao Wei has a red heart to the court, and he has no intention of taking refuge in King Yan. This is an unjust, false, wrong, and wrongful case, and it must be redressed.

"How can the emperor's move not make his relatives and enemies happy?"

The overseer of the Imperial Palace, Kangyu, became a rafter who came out. Strictly speaking, Kang Yu was not a pure Yan king's faction, and only expressed his disapproval of Emperor Jianwen's method of cutting the domain, and once bluntly said that he asked the emperor to take care of his relatives, restore the fiefdoms of Zhou Wang Min and other vassal kings, and repair the tomb for King Xiang to persuade King Yan to stop his army.

Emperor Jianwen did not take his advice, let alone listen to his remarks about interceding for Gao Wei.

The more people pleaded for Gao Wei, the more he implemented his meticulous identity.

Emperor Jianwen made up his mind that he must persist once, and no one will listen to him!

This move spread to Beiping, and Wu Jie, the Marquis of Anlu, who also refused to surrender, and Zhang Lun, the former commander of Hebei, were shaken.

Gao Wei's encounter sounded a wake-up call for them, is it really feasible to return to Nanjing? The emperor can doubt Gao Wei, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not suspect them.

King Yan released the news that Guo Ying had been removed from the official position and returned to his hometown in a timely manner, and Wu Jie and Zhang Lun's determination collapsed in an instant. Guo Ying is treated like this, will he end well if he is also a general of the defeated army?

Zhang Lun still wanted to be reserved, but Wu Jie gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and jumped ship!

King Yan was overjoyed, and personally invited Wu Jie out of the place of detention, bathed and changed clothes, entertained with good wine and food, and remembered the good years of Emperor Tai-Zugao, trying to get closer to each other.

Wu Jie's face turned a little pale, was that time a good time? How many people rushed to the execution ground with their front feet up and backward feet, and how much effort did he make to save Xiang Shang's head?

Picking up the wine glass and raising his head, since he had decided to rebel against King Yan, he could only go one way to the dark.

Since King Yan said that it was a good time, it was a good time.

Drink!

When you are drunk, it is not good but it is beautiful.

After a few pots of wine, King Yan was slightly drunk, and Wu Jie was already drunk.

Zheng He came to report, and Zhang Lun was also relieved.

King Yan waved his hand, "Let the prince and the king of the county entertain Commander Zhang." ”

"Yes."

Looking at Wu Jie, who was supported by the eunuchs and palace people, King Yan pinched his forehead, the great monk's strategy was really clever, and letting go of a useless Gao Wei was enough to make Jianwen's yellow-mouthed child lose people's hearts and destroy himself. If we take Shandong, even if we can't immediately capture Nanjing, divide the north and south and rule it, and hold Hebei and other places, there will be no problem.

"Someone."

"The slave is here."

"Please invite Master Daoyan to Xinuan Pavilion."

"Yes."

In May of the second year of Jianwen, outside the city of Beiping, the Yan army completed the assembly.

More than 100,000 troops lined up, armor and blades gleaming in the sun, and war horses snorted and stomped their front hooves a little anxiously.

The significance of this dispatch of troops is extraordinary, and the generals dare not be sloppy.

In order to siege the city, the army carried a lot of artillery, and the underground-soldier-factory presided over by the monk Daoyan has been moved to the ground, and with the joint efforts of the craftsmen, the tiger squat cannon has been continuously improved, and new cannons such as Huwei and General Capture Gate have been created.

Rockets that were used in the battle of the Baigou River were also equipped in the army. Zhang Yu asked King Yan to form a separate team of rockets and firecrackers, and they were put into the firearms battalion, which was personally commanded by King Yan.

Having seen a firearms battalion's drill, Meng had to be impressed by the wisdom of the ancients and the fierceness of the army in the early Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that the current firearms are not powerful enough and there is often a danger of exploding, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhu Di will not create a "modern army" that leads the world.

Rao is like this, and the level of firearms in the early Ming Dynasty is also proud of the world, and there is no one else who is unsurpassed.

Before setting out for the expedition, according to the custom, King Yan delivered an exciting speech.

The soldiers raised their swords and shouted three times, King Yan waved his hand, and the sound of war drums and horns sounded at the head of the city, and the army set off.

Shen Xuan is still the forward, and Meng is no longer escorting grain and grass, but is in charge of the sentry cavalry, reporting to Shen Xuan at any time the situation of the road exploration ahead.

The sentinels were mostly composed of Mongolian cavalry in leather robes and fur hats, and half of the Mongolian cavalry in the Yanshan rearguard came from the steppe tribes that migrated inward. The purpose of these strong men joining the rebel team is the same as that of Duoyan Sanwei, for the sake of cattle and sheep, and for the pasture.

Even if the idea of recruiting Mongolian tribes was his own, seeing more and more Mongolian strong men, Meng couldn't help but think hard, when the dynasty changed, how many white stripes would King Yan have to play?

The pasture can be relied upon, but what about the cattle and sheep? Is it possible to grab someone else's territory? Judging from Emperor Yongle's style of acting, it is not impossible. Thinking about the objects that may be robbed in the future, Meng Yu shed a handful of sympathetic tears, and when he met an emperor like Yongle, admit his bad luck.

When the Yan army marched towards Shandong, Li Jinglong of Dezhou quickly got the news and immediately raised his account and ordered the army to be gathered.

When everyone thought that he was finally going to be brave and lead the army to resist, he took up the handsome seal, stepped on his horse, and ran south with the assembled army.

The enemy is coming from the north, but the boss is rushing south?

The confused Southern Army looked at each other, and then suddenly realized that he was running away!

The managers are all gone, do they stay and die?

All the soldiers immediately rushed with Li Jinglong, no one cared about the food and ordnance in the city, at this moment, it was important to run.

I should be grateful to Li Jinglong, at least this time he didn't run by himself, but ran with everyone, which can be regarded as kind.

When the Yan outpost arrived, there was not a single soldier left in Texas, and it had completely become an undefended city.
