Chapter 154: The Temptation of the Tile

The Yellow River burst in July of the thirteenth year of orthodoxy can be said to shake the world.

It is naturally impossible for the tile spur not to know.

At the same time, while integrating the interior, he was paying attention to every move of the Ming court, but after last year's trial, he also felt a little deeply.

Daming is a hard bone.

This is different from the previous battles of the tile spurs, Uliangha, and Jurchen tribes.

Don't take a peek.

But I can't help but fight.

First, it is the political ambition of the Yexian family, after all, the struggle of the three generations of the tile spur is not to be the prime minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Second, it is also a characteristic of the northern tribes.

The Great Yuan Empire, or the self-proclaimed Northern Yuan, was not recognized by the Ming Dynasty at the time, even if it was placed in later generations.

The reason is simple.

After the destruction of the last main force of the Yuan Dynasty in Yuerhai, the so-called Northern Yuan Dynasty had lost its state form and degenerated into the form of a tribal alliance.

The contradictions between the Great Yuan Center and the local tribal leaders that have already been represented by the first can only be reconciled, not resolved.

Therefore, it is better to go south and die than fight another civil war.

Therefore, the war in the south, after the unification of Mongolia by Waspur, is inevitable. Even if you don't fight first, there will be other people who will, it's just a change in time.

But even if he knew in advance that after the Yellow River broke and the Cao transportation was interrupted, he did not make up his mind.

He was in a state of hesitation, he felt that this was a good opportunity, and at the same time he was worried, even if this was how much would it weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty?

He invited Zhang Zongzhou.

Zhang Zongzhou said: "The meaning of the prince, the minister understands, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, although he is young, but it is not an easy to, these ten years, Hebei water conservancy, open the sea to sea, reform the salt government, from the Ming Xuanzong, the Ming Dynasty has not declined, but prospered. ”

"Not to mention anything else, the silver smashed on the nine sides alone has exceeded one million taels every year. If you don't fight now, I'm afraid it will be harder to fight in the future. ”

He also said: "Exactly. ”

This idea has always been vague at first, but it is not clear, and Zhang Zong said it on Monday, only to understand that he has been vaguely worried. also sighed first and said: "Sure enough, it is a son who should be like Sun Zhongmou." ”

also regarded Zhu Qizhen as a son, Zhu Qizhen knew that he would definitely be very angry, but Yexian was twenty years older than Zhu Qizhen, and he was basically two generations.

There are some things that Zhu Qizhen doesn't feel about himself. On the contrary, the enemy feels deeply. Zhu Qizhen is afraid of many war horses, but he doesn't know that he is also afraid of first, Zhu Qizhen has reformed in recent years, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses, but the silver taels are very sufficient

。

Zhang Zongzhou said: "The foundation of my tile spur is not comparable to the Ming Dynasty, and the battle to the south is either a big victory or a defeat, which is simply a big gamble, so the prince is worried that even if the Southern Dynasty focuses on the Yellow River, my 400,000 iron cavalry will not be able to break through the defense line of Xuanda." ”

He also said first: "Mr. is my confidant, but what is Mr. today's opinion?" ”

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Gao Jian didn't have it, but there was a stupid way. The prince also understands that this battle is bound to be fought, so why not test the Southern Dynasty. ”

He also said first: "Temptation? You say begging the princess? ”

Zhang Zongzhou said: "The prince is wise. ”

It is not the first time that the tile spur begged Daming for the princess. I begged for it once, but I couldn't compare it with the present at that time.

In the first few years of conquest, the strength of the tile spur has been expanded to the highest peak in history. It can even be ranked among the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, and Mongol.

Now I have more confidence to ask Daming for the princess.

Of course, although the two sides have not yet reached the place where the arrow is ready and has to be sent, the dark tide is surging, leaving only face.

If Da Ming is really willing to marry the princess, he will fight even more first.

The reason is very simple, the edict of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty. "The respect of our dynasty's national power, beyond the ancient times, its control of the north and the west, no Han harmony, no Tang alliance, no Song Dynasty's New Year's coins, no brothers' gifts to the enemy, its tribute, will be treated with grace."

This passage is the edict of Emperor Taizong.

Later generations will not be in harmony, will not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will die in Sheji, which is extracted from this passage.

Therefore, the political trend of the Ming Dynasty is to be tough on the outside world.

If Da Ming unusually agrees and kisses, it means that Da Ming's situation is really not good. And if Daming does not agree, the specific situation will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

From Da Ming's response to courtship, you can also see what Da Ming is like.

also said first: "Yes, retreat can be attacked, advance can be defended, but this one thing, this king is not worried about others to do it, so please ask Mr. Zhang to go to Beijing City on behalf of this king." ”

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Please rest assured, the minister will definitely make it clear what the Southern Dynasty is listening to." ”

also said first: "Okay, all the manpower in Beijing will be at your disposal." ”

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Lord Xie, the minister thinks that we are starting from scratch, how about sending 3,500 people to the mission this time?" ”

He also said first: "Not bad." ”

Zhu Qizhen had already issued an edict stipulating that the number of the Tile Thorn Mission should not exceed 3,000 people.

This time, Zhang Zongzhou obviously wanted to test Daming's bottom line.

Monolithic Fort.

As an important place outside the Ming Dynasty, it is leaning on a complete stone mountain. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's just that now Yang Hong is no longer stationed here.

Stationed here is Yang

Hong's eldest son, Yang Jun.

Yang Hong has become a Datong defender.

At this moment, Yang Jun's forehead was slightly sweaty, under the castle, thousands of horses were confronting the Ming border army, the two sides were a hundred steps apart, the knife was out of the sheath, the bow was wound, and they were far away, it seemed that a fight was about to be set off with an order.

As the border plug of the entire Ming Dynasty that goes deepest into the grassland, it is the main road to enter the customs, and it is also the wind direction of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland. What is the relationship between the tile spur and the Ming Dynasty, it is even less known here than Beijing.

After last year's standoff.

The relationship between Da Ming and Tile Thorn is infinitely close to rupture.

Such a situation is already a daily adjustment. Not to mention, the tile spurs have already listed Daning Kaiping as a horse farm, and the strategic buffer between the two sides is already very small.

The fight between scouts has long become commonplace.

It's just that the confrontation of these thousands of people is still rare.

To be honest, Yang Jun couldn't bear the pressure.

Yang Jun asked, "Is there anyone from Datong?" ”

"The general hasn't yet." A soldier beside him said.

Yang Jun said a little irritably: "Why don't you come yet." ”

This time, it was nothing else, that is, the Tile Thorn Mission entered the customs, and Yang Jun sent someone to count the number of people and found that there were more than 3,000 people, which was absolutely impossible.

Unruly.

So the Varspurs clamoured, as if they wanted a big fight.

If it is only a few thousand people, Yang Jun is naturally not worried, although Yang Jun, as Yang Hong's son, has not learned much of Yang Hong's skills, but the monolith fort is extremely important, and the imperial court has strengthened it several times.

Although the city is not large, it is a military fortress, heavily defended, and there are thousands of soldiers, all of them are horses, and a mere 3,000 watts of stabbing men is nothing.

But there seems to be a Tile Spur Brigade to the north.

Yang Jun was worried, this was the beginning of a big battle. He was even more worried about whether he could hold on to the monolith fort as the first battle between the tile thorn and the Ming Dynasty, and the sweat on Yang Jun's head rose faster when he thought of the almost boundless tile thorn iron horse.

"Report, pass on the order of the Marquis of Wujin, and let the tile spur mission enter the customs." A messenger knelt in front of Yang Jun panting.

Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I know, let the tile thorn people enter the customs below, and pay attention to the same thing, don't be overshadowed by others, and prevent the tile thorns from taking the pass." ”

With Yang Jun's order, the gate of Dushan Fort was opened, and the officials who confronted the Tile Spur soldiers slowly put it away, and the Tile Thorn people surrounded countless pack horses and entered the Dushan Fort.

Through Dushan Fort, they were to enter Xuanda and then Beijing. Arrive in the center of Daming.

The atmosphere that had just been suppressed for a while seemed to have become different.

And just half an hour later, when he heard the news, he smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this time the Yellow River is not easy to toss the Southern Dynasty." ”
