Xifengkou is located in the eastern section of the Yanshan Mountain Range, out of the pass through the narrow mountain road, then come to the wide river - this is the later Chengde City Kuancheng County, the early Ming Dynasty called the wide river guard of the thousand households.

Anyway, it's all here, and Wang Yuan accompanied the emperor to go crazy.

The two kings and ministers, with only 2,000 light horsemen, went to the steppe to hunt, and there was a Mongol city nearby.

is not afraid of Duoyan Sanwei's attack at all, and to put it more bluntly, even if the emperor runs to Daning City alone, Duoyanwei has to send the emperor's gift back. Because the enemy of Duoyanwei was never the Ming Dynasty, but other Mongol tribes in the north and west.

In peacetime, the Ming Dynasty occasionally plundered south, and the Ming Dynasty had to fight back, and once they killed the emperor, they would inevitably suffer from the crazy retaliation of the Ming army. Even if the civilian government dominates the government and is unwilling to use troops to attack the north, it will definitely cut off trade, and trade sanctions alone can make Duoyan Sanwei extremely uncomfortable.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, what is the situation of Duoyan Sanwei?

At first, he was beaten by Daming, then he was flattened by Warat, and then he was bullied by the Tatars. After the Tatar split, it was ravaged by the Chahar and Khalkha tribes, and finally crushed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It can be said that there are enemies on all sides, and the pain is unbearable.

Wide River City, built against the Wide River.

This city is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is no water only on the side facing the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army came when they wanted to, and left when they wanted, because this city was originally built by the Ming army and was specially used to guard against the Mongols.

On the city wall, a Mongolian soldier from the Uliangha (Duoyan Division) said, "The Ming Emperor is here again." ”

Another soldier said, "How much is the Ming Emperor worth?" If you can catch it, you will be rich. ”

The soldier before laughed and said, "You have the guts, go and catch it now." ”

As soon as the Ming Emperor came, the Mongols immediately closed the city gates, and the nearby Mongol herdsmen fled one after another.

Because Zhu Houzhao likes to hunt, he occasionally encounters Mongolian herdsmen, and he will catch them as prey and bring them back to Xifengkou to celebrate.

It's okay to be caught by the emperor, at least to save your life. Usually, when you encounter a Ming border general, you must have your head cut off, and there is no way to live.

The people on the border are like this, regardless of whether they are Han Chinese or Mongolian herders.

Take Xifengkou as an example, Duoyan Sanwei went south to plunder, always robbing goods and people. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty "chased the enemy" out of the customs, ran to the grassland for a walk, and killed one or two hundred herdsmen who came back to ask for rewards. So repeatedly, the grudges between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper, and the unlucky ones are the people of each other.

"Run, Emperor Ming is here again!"

Near Kuanhe City, a small tribe of only a few hundred people, men, women, and children rushed to tell each other in panic. They only took the livestock, and all the daily necessities were left, because the Ming Emperor looked down on these things.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Hou looked after the frightened herdsmen, riding on their horses and laughing wildly, this kind of game was much more interesting than the leopard house juggling.

Ma Yong, the chief soldier of Jizhen, was by Zhu Houzhao's side at the moment, looking at the emperor with a caring and mentally retarded look.

Ma Yong is a military attache promoted by Lu Wan, who is brave and strategic, not greedy for money, not attached to the powerful, and sympathetic to the military and the people, which is very rare.

When the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was suppressed, Ma Yong and Jiang Bin listened to orders under Lu Wan's account. Jiang Bin summoned the border generals to enter the leopard room, such a step to the sky, but Ma Yong said that he was sick and did not want to enter Beijing, so he had a conflict with Jiang Bin.

When Lu Wan served as the secretary of the military department, Ma Yong was also promoted to the chief soldier of Jizhen. As soon as he arrived in the border town, he immediately eliminated the old and weak, threw the useless soldiers to graze and farmland, and selected the young and strong to be added to the guards in various places, so the soldiers of Jizhen are now very combative.

Zhu Houzhao came to Xifengkou, and Ma Yong was afraid that something would happen to the emperor, so he could only follow him to escort him. He repeatedly advised the emperor not to go out of the customs, annoying Zhu Houzhao so much that Jiang Bin took the opportunity to complain, and Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind to remove the general soldiers of Jizhen.

"Wang Shilang, don't you persuade Your Majesty?" Mayon whispered.

Lu Wan sent a secret letter to Jizhen, asking Ma Yongduo to communicate with Wang Yuan, after all, the two sides are barely political allies.

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Can you persuade it?" ”

Ma Yong's temper was more like that of a civil official, and he said angrily: "Even if you can't persuade you, you have to keep persuading, this is the duty of a human minister!" ”

Wang Yuan suddenly said, "You have a grudge against Jiang Bin, right?" ”

Ma Yong was stunned and replied, "He once dragged me into the leopard room, but I didn't go because I was sick." ”

"No wonder," Wang Yuan had a good impression of Ma Yong, "you should be careful, I heard Jiang Bin say bad things about you yesterday." As if to expose your embezzlement of military salaries, he shut up when I entered the house, and he didn't understand much. ”

Ma Yong was furious: "Nonsense. If I embezzle military salaries, I can use them to eliminate the old and weak, and try to recruit young people to make up for the shortfall? When you eat empty food directly, you don't have to offend the commanders of the guards! ”

"Be careful, I'll say nice things for you." Wang Yuan bought people's hearts.

Ma Yong hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Wang Shilang for reminding me!" ”

Ma Yong is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and has the demeanor of an ancient good general. Historically, after Lu Wan was exiled by Yang Tinghe and died, he also ran to ask Jiajing for compensation, just because Lu Wan had the grace to support him. Jiajing was furious and directly cut Ma Yong and threw him to Nanjing to receive his salary.

It was not until the Liaodong Mutiny that others could not control the situation, and Jiajing reinstated Ma Yong as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

Because the border general booby-trapped the nobles of Tainingwei (one of the three guards of Duoyan), Taining Wei Koubian was provoked, and Ma Yong directly beheaded the leader of Tainingwei. Tainingwei united with Duoyanwei to take revenge, but was repelled by Ma Yong. Duoyan Sanwei simply went south together, but the eunuch was defeated, and Ma Yong was also implicated and dismissed.

If this person is used well, he should be a generation of famous generals!

Zhu Houzhao, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others have already led the crowd to pursue the Mongolian herdsmen. It's just a game, Zhu Houzhao didn't kill them all, and only robbed the herdsmen of a few sheep back.

Wang Yuan rode his horse to catch up and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, it's time to send someone." ”

Zhu Houzhao said to the eunuch beside him: "Go ahead." ”

The eunuch trembled and rushed to Kuanhe City, and the Mongol defenders did not dare to open the city gate, but only sent people to hang baskets down to receive them. The eunuch didn't dare to stay longer, so he directly stuffed two documents to the other party: "Please transfer it to the leaders of Taining and Fuyu." ”

Duoyan Sanwei is Duoyan Wei, Taining Wei, and Fuyu Wei.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tainingwei was the strongest, followed by Fuyuwei, and only Duoyanwei was the weakest.

Zhu Di canonized the leader of Duoyanwei as the commander of the capital, and the leaders of the other two guards as the commander of the capital, supported the weakest Duoyanwei, and managed the stronger Taining and Fuyu guards. Of course, this is deliberate, the intentions are very sinister, only twenty or thirty years, Duo Yanwei has become strong and has become the real leader of Sanwei.

Now, Wang Yuan gave Zhu Houzhao an idea, asking the emperor to promote the leaders of Tainingwei and Fuyuwei, and let the leaders of the three guards sit on an equal footing. Moreover, he also sent the promotion documents to Duoyanwei's city, and then sent someone to leak them afterwards.

After the eunuch finished delivering the papers, Wang Yuan accompanied the emperor to hunt.

The Mongol defenders of Kuanhe City did not dare to slack off, and the two documents were sent to Hua Dang, the leader of Duoyanwei, the next day.

Hua Dang was directly stupid, holding the promotion document at a loss, he only had two choices now.

First, burn the paperwork and immediately send protons into Beijing. This can please Daming, but once the news is leaked, it will inevitably attract the jealousy of the leaders of Taining and Fuyu, and there will inevitably be a huge contradiction between the three guards.

Second, follow the emperor's will and send the documents out. That will be even more troublesome, from now on, the three guards will be on an equal footing, and Duoyanwei will seriously lose the right to speak.

It's not just as simple as being promoted, the trade between Duoyan Sanwei and Daming is all according to the size of the official position. Duo Yanwei was able to be strong, precisely because of the official university, he got the most materials from the Ming trade!

Hua Dang thought about it, but decided to be a dog for Daming, continue to occupy Daming's trade advantage, and never let the two allied clans benefit in vain.

So, Huadang's second son, Boge, was soon sent to Xifengkou.

On the night of Boge's arrival, Wang Yuan sent people into the grassland to spread the news that Duo Yanwei had privately destroyed the documents for the promotion of the Ming Dynasty.
