Chapter 172: Zhang Zongzhou returned to the north alone
As soon as Wang Yu came out, he blocked the Watt Thorn camp.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Yu to come out to blockade, the Watt Spur camp has always been blocked.
Several guards of the Beijing camp sealed off the Tile Thorn camp inside.
After all, at the foot of the Great Tomorrow, how could it be possible to let a three-kilowatt spur army be stationed without guarding.
Although the Vaspurs said that it was an embassy, almost every strong man in Mongolia needed to go to the battlefield, and the strong man was the army.
It's just that Wang Yu came here, but he got not very good news.
"You said that Zhang Zongzhou didn't come back at all?" Wang Yu asked.
"The subordinates have been keeping a close eye on it, and when they let this fang out, the subordinates have personally watched it, and I have searched every person who enters and exits, and even every place where they can hide." Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yuncheng said.
"Subordinate, dare to guarantee with his life, after this person went out, he didn't come back."
Wang Yu didn't disbelieve Yun Cheng's words.
But he still didn't want to give up, so he searched the Tile Spur camp and searched all the Tile Thorns, and sure enough, there were two people missing from the Tile Thorns.
One is naturally Zhang Zongzhou, and the other is Zhang Zongzhou's stand-in.
Wang Yu's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Immediately send people to the passes of the Great Wall to arrest this person." ”
In fact, at this point, Wang Yu already understood that Zhang Zongzhou would most likely not be able to catch it.
Where is Zhang Zongzhou at the moment?
He is in the lofty mountains of Yanshan.
There are Jinyi guards staring at the checkpoints in the north, as well as a portrait of Zhang Zongzhou. The painters of Jinyiwei are not as abstract as imagined, and among the court painters, there are still a number of good people.
Zhang Zongzhou didn't dare to take risks.
But the problem is that many times the checkpoints are for the team, Zhang Zongzhou is alone, he is on the grassland all the year round, and his physical fitness is also good.
Therefore, I went over the mountains and mountains, went straight to the north, and sometimes I lost my way, and I could only watch the Beidou at night to determine my position.
He made his way north, and he didn't know how long.
On the way, the large and small castles of the Ming Dynasty, and even the beacon tower, all went around. At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not have a winding city wall like a dragon, and there were a large number of blank spaces between the mountains.
It's just that these places can't march large armies, and for individuals, it's not easy to walk.
Not to mention, beasts in the mountains, jackals, tigers and leopards.
By the time Zhang Zongzhou saw the endless grassland again, it had already risen in the north, although it was not snowing, but there was not much difference, and Zhang Zongzhou seemed to be a wild man at the moment.
He hiked more than 100 miles into the grassland before he met a tribe and took out the gold medal of Yexian, and the tribe immediately took out the last thing to entertain Zhang Zong
Zhou, even let the woman wash and get into Zhang Zongzhou's bed.
This kind of woman Zhang Zongzhou is generally not used.
It's just been in the mountains for more than a month, and for Zhang Zongzhou, it's too miserable, he has too many things to vent. So I tossed for half the night.
On the second day, we galloped all the way to Yingchang.
To be precise, it is near Yingchang.
Because Yingchang, as the city of the Yuan Dynasty, has been picked up by Xu Da, but Yingchang has been very politically significant, and after the Northern Yuan withdrew from Beijing, Emperor Yuan Shun lived here for a long time.
It was once the political center of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. And it is only a few hundred miles away from Yuanshangdu, that is, Kaipingwei, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Hanhai.
Kaipingwei is in the south of Hanhai, and Yingchang is in the north of Hanhai, far away.
also saw Zhang Zongzhou again in the grassland near Yingchang.
At this moment, although Zhang Zongzhou has bathed and changed clothes, the color of wind and frost on his body will not be gone because he has changed his clothes.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. has worked hard." ”
Zhang Zongzhou said: "What is the hard work to do for the prince? It's just that the situation in the south has changed greatly, and the minister has to pay back privately, and ask the prince for forgiveness. ”
He also said first: "Mr. is concerned about the overall situation, and he made a decision immediately, although the mission has 3,000 people and tens of thousands of taels of property, but it is not as good as you, sir." ”
Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, Zhang Zongzhou was very moved when he heard it.
also said first: "It's good that Mr. comes back, without Mr., the changes in the south, this king is not at all confused, Mr. told this king, what happened to the Southern Dynasty?" ”
Zhang Zongzhou said: "The minister is about to say. Then he told all the news he got from Xining, plus Zhang Zongzhou's own analysis.
Compared with Jinyiwei, Dongchang focuses more on monitoring the court, so many secrets are nothing to Xining, and Zhang Zongzhou is also a first-class figure.
Therefore, the changes in the Ming court are also analyzed.
After listening to it first, he was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "That is, I am ready to shoot and have to send it." ”
If there is no mutual market, the grassland needs a large number of materials, which cannot be replenished, and there is no way to settle the people below.
Although, within the rule of the tile thorns, there are actually some handicraft industries, such as the northeast, many tribes in the territory of Nuergandusi can strike iron.
The tile spur can also get some supplies in the Western Regions.
But compared to the needs of the tile spurs, it is simply a glass of wine.
After the two sides tore their faces and the tributary trade was officially severed, there must be a battle between the tile spurs and the Ming Dynasty, and the victory or defeat of this battle will replan the relationship between them.
I was prepared for it in advance.
He took the position of Dehuan until now, and he is also thinking secretly
I don't know how many times, how to attack the Southern Dynasty. But when it really came to an end, there was no happiness, no excitement, only a heavy heart.
also had a clear understanding of Da Ming's strength, and because of this, he knew that this battle was not easy to fight. But no matter whether it is good or not, it will be fought.
also asked Zhang Zongzhou first: "Sir, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”
Zhang Zongzhou said: "Lord, the name is not right, the name is not good, the word is not good, all kinds of major things, are headed by the right name, the prince asked the minister what to do, the minister thought it should be the right name?" ”
also frowned slightly, and said, "What is the name?" ”
Zhang Zongzhou's remarks are typical of Confucian thinking. Although Zhang Zongzhou is reused, he values his wisdom and ability, but he is not interested in anything.
Zhang Zongzhou said: "Since the battle of fishing, the grassland heroes have not dared to look south, and they have called themselves Khan, but they have not dared to add the emperor. The prince's Huai Wang, in fact, was also called in private, and he did not dare to use this name to send a letter to the Southern Dynasty. ”
"Now the situation is different, the current Southern Dynasty is not the original Southern Dynasty, and today's grassland is no longer the grassland of the past, all the tribes of the grassland are under the banner of the prince, how many miles of vertical and horizontal, how many million iron horses?"
"It is the resumption of the order that made the Great Khan Jianzuo ascend the throne and restore the foundation of the Great Yuan, and with this as a number, the grassland and the outside will surely happily follow it."
"All the tribes of the grassland, condensed into one, in order to attack the clear, twice the result with half the effort."
Zhang Zongzhou's words hit the hearts of almost all Mongolians.
It's as if all Han people have a dream of a great Han Empire, and all Mongols have a dream of Genghis Khan. Although the tile spurs were powerful, they overwhelmed all the tribes with great strength.
But many tribes are not convinced.
I don't care about it first, because there are more people who are not convinced, as long as the strength of the tile spur continues to be strong, there will be no problems with Yexian's rule.
But sometimes, it is inevitable that someone will disobey the yin.
As Zhang Zongzhou said, the banner of Dayuan is actually just what they call themselves behind closed doors at home, and it has never been on the official documents of Da Ming.
It is also necessary to make a big show of this banner first, which can certainly unite people's hearts and help them go south.
But there is a hidden concern in his heart.
It's nothing else, it's just that it doesn't take off. Yexian has always had the heart of usurping, ascending the throne and practicing Zuo, it seems that the fulfillment is to get rid of it without flowers, and it doesn't seem to be friendly to Yexian.
He also said first: "Sir, this plan is very good, but there has always been a discord between the Great Khan and me, and if we do this, I am afraid it will not be easy to do in the future." ”
Zhang Zongzhou understood the unfinished meaning of his words, and said: "Prince, everything must have trade-offs, no matter when, if the prince wants to do great things, it is not too easy to do. ”
"As long as you are majestic on the outside, you can do great things on the inside."
"Where does this work come from? Prince, there is only the Southern Dynasty. ”
