Chapter 102: The Past

"Your Majesty, Nanhaizi has arrived." Wang Zhen rode on a horse and guided Zhu Qizhen.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen has grown a lot taller, and if you just look at the figure, it is almost an adult's height.

It's been four years since Orthodoxy.

Since that time in the first year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen no longer has any whimsical ideas, just honestly does nothing, and what he does every day is to watch the twists and turns, practice martial arts, and read.

On top of the government, it seems that he does not say a word.

It's as if you didn't see it.

However, although Zhu Qizhen did nothing, he established a private intelligence network, which allowed the officials below to transmit the news just now to the Qianqing Palace through the channels of Jinyiwei.

There are more and more such officials.

There are eunuchs, military generals, and civil servants.

In the sixth department of Beijing, Zhu Qizhen did not exert his strength, because it was not necessary.

There are three poplars, what kind of tricks can be hidden from the ears and eyes of three poplars. On the contrary, in other places, Zhu Qizhen was able to get in touch with first-hand information from all over the world.

It's a long list.

Things are reported differently in various places, for example, Liaodong Yishu reported to Zhu Qizhen that North Korea had encroached on Jurchen land.

In the same way, Zhu Qizhen knew that in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were not bounded by the Yalu River. Zhu Qizhen gave Yishi Ha Zhongzhi to help the Jurchens and suppress North Korea.

North Korea has a big appetite and is timid. I don't want Daming to know, blocked the news, if it weren't for the fact that Yizha is an old Liaodong, he knows the situation here best, but the news can't reach Beijing.

At least in the reports of local officials, and even in the mouths of the envoys of the Korean tribute, there is no news at all.

Zhu Qizhen was also happy to pretend not to know. Anyway, the Jurchens are not vegetarians, and of course, the Koreans of this era are not vegetarians either. Because the reigning monarch of Joseon is what later generations of Koreans have always considered to be Myeongjun, that is, King Sejong of Joseon, is quite an ambitious monarch.

At this time, the Koreans were not the soft-footed shrimp of later generations. It's still quite playable.

Therefore, the Jurchens and the Koreans fought quite fiercely on the northeast of the Yalu River, on this piece of land.

And Yisha is also operating in secret, and he doesn't dare to leak it out on the surface.

After all, this matter is in trouble with the court, maybe what to do.

Another example is another general, Fang Zheng is already in Yunnan at the moment.

Fang Zheng is also a veteran, when he beheaded two hundred levels in Datong, Zhang Xuan also knew, it seems that there is turmoil in Yunnan, Tusi rebelled early, and the current Qianguo Gong asked for help, and the imperial court planned to let Fang Zheng support Yunnan.

Zhang Xuan met with the old general and had a detailed discussion with the old general. It seems that the emperor's aura is attacking, anyway, the old general died for the imperial court, and he will definitely wipe out the Yunnan group.

Zhang Xuan also concocted the same method and arranged a few brocade guards for the old general.

One is to protect the old general, and as a channel for the old general to contact him, what the old general has can pass on through the Jinyiwei system.

There are still many officials from other parties, such as Liu Dingzhi, Li Shimian, and even many orthodox three-year first-class scholars.

It can even be said that Zhu Qizhen's actions have never thought of hiding from others.

At least the Empress Dowager knew that Zhu Qizhen often took out some things in the secret music to ask the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager knew it, but she also answered patiently, and took out the recitals on the faces of the court officials, compared them with each other, and saw which of these people was lying, where was the crooked pen, and where was the ignorance.

The ministers below love to play with spring and autumn penmanship too much. Many times, the people below are reporting good news and not bad news, as if things are omitted from some content.

But in the face of such a situation, the Empress Dowager also taught him that he should turn a blind eye to what is going on, and what he should investigate thoroughly. What to pretend to be confused. How many points does this confusion have to be pretended?

Numerous.

Unconsciously, there are many opinions in the court, and the outside is written about the Empress Dowager's decree, but inside it is actually Zhu Qizhen's opinion.

Zhu Qizhen adheres to everything and must do it through the Empress Dowager. The grandparents and grandchildren are as close as ever.

But in the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has not clasped with the Empress Dowager.

There is only one thing.

It's the war in the northwest.

Speaking of the war in the northwest, Zhu Qizhen is on fire.

This war with Adai Khan has been fought from the first year of orthodoxy to the present. It's just over.

It is precisely because of this big victory that Zhu Qizhen is in the mood, and in the weather of June, he came to Nanhaizi to hunt, one is to relax, and it also has the meaning of escaping the heat.

Nanhaizi is the Nanyuan of later generations, and it is the location of Beijing Nanyuan Airport.

It is also a royal hunting ground, in which the Yongding River flows, there are many reeds and wetlands, which is not only a good place for hunting, but also a good place for summer vacation.

Fighting in the Northwest.

In the first year of orthodoxy, it can be said that there was no progress at all, and even after Jiang Gui arrived, he did nothing, and let Adai Khan come and go like no man's land.

However, Yang Rong tried his best to protect Jiang Gui in the imperial court, saying that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the matter in the northwest did not start today, Jiang Gui had just taken up his new post and needed to give him time.

In the imperial court, Jiang Gui was not punished.

However, in the second year of orthodoxy, Jiang Gui's actions still could not satisfy the imperial court and Zhu Qizhen.

Even in the spring of the second year of orthodoxy, an incident happened that made Zhu Qizhen feel powerless.

Jiang Gui and An Jing led the cavalry out of the fortress and arrived at Yu'er Haizi, the enemy was in front of him, An Jing actually said that there was no way ahead, and then led the troops back.

This kind of behavior of not attacking the enemy not only made Zhu Qizhen angry, but also the veteran generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, as well as the civilian officials of the Ministry of War.

The government and the opposition unanimously decided that it was necessary to send more important ministers to the northwest.

So Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, was sent out to Beijing and went to the northwest to sit in the town.

After Wang Ji came, the first thing he did was to kill An Jing. Take the right military law. Only then did the three armies be terrified. At that time, when the border generals saw Wang Ji, they were in two wars.

Zhu Qizhen is actually not satisfied with such a situation.

This opened the head of a civilian official with a soldier.

It seriously violated the functions and powers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces. It's just that among the governors of the five armies, there are few generals who can control the field, unless Zhang Fu is out of town.

Otherwise, the generals who could be sent out would never be able to suppress Jiang Gui so submissively.

But Zhu Qizhen also knew that the civil official group headed by Sanyang almost firmly held the administrative power within the rules in his hands.

If power is further extended into the military, the imbalance between honorable and civilian officials will only become more serious.

It's just that he thinks about it, and the top priority is to fight in the northwest of the flat land. This is a matter that can only be thought about in the future.

Wang Ji sternly rectified the army, and ruthlessly cleaned up the guards, clearing a lot of vacancies, and the number of the northwest frontier army became smaller, but its strength increased.

So in the third year of orthodoxy, Jiang Gui finally achieved a decisive victory over Adai Khan.

At that time, Jiang Gui led 2,500 cavalry as the vanguard out of the fortress, and when he encountered the enemy, the deputy general Li An felt that he was not sure and wanted Jiang Gui to wait for the rear army.

Jiang Gui drew his sword and killed him. Command the whole army, today there is advance and retreat, there is death and no life.

Ran out for three days and nights, attacked the enemy camp at night, frightened the enemy's horses, and the Tartars did not have time to get on their horses for a while, drew their swords and fought on foot, Jiang Gui fought on two wings, and broke it.

Adai Khan led his troops to flee, and Jiang Gui pursued and fought for eighty miles. Adai Khan fled with dozens of horsemen.

In this battle, the main force of Adai Khan was defeated.

It can be said that this battle showed Jiang Gui's true level. Old and strong.

But Zhu Qizhen's quarrel with the Empress Dowager was after Jiang Gui fought this battle.

At this point in the war, many people felt that it was enough. After all, on the grassland, Waspur was also looking for Adai Khan, and Adai Khan was forced to flee north, and he would not spare him if he came to Vaspur.

But in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, this matter must be cut to the roots, but it is not for Adai Khan, because in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, Adai Khan is already a dead man.

The difference is how to die.

If any Mongol leader dared to offend easily. Then just run away. So what is the deterrent power of Daming.

Although Adai Khan has now fled to the Waspur sphere of influence.

If you continue to chase and kill, I am afraid that it will cause a misunderstanding of the tile spurs. But now, if Da Ming stops, the tile spur will look up to Da Ming.
