Chapter 112: The Battle of Dongshengwei

It is a very good time to rejoice here.

Suddenly, someone came to report: "The Ming army has come, all the way from Kaiping, there are about 30,000 horsemen, led by Guo Deng, one from Shanxi Pass, about 20,000 horsemen, but they march slowly, next to the Yellow River, there are large and small ships on the Yellow River." There is also baggage. ”

As soon as you hear it first, you know that both sides are not easy to deal with.

Needless to say, Guo Deng is the Marquis of Wuding, the general of the Ming Dynasty.

In the case of similar cavalry, I don't dare to say that I can win the battle, as for the reinforcements of Shanxi Town, it seems to be like soft persimmons, but Shanxi Town is also very self-aware.

They marched against the Yellow River.

The section of the Yellow River from Dongshengwei to Biguan is very difficult to walk. Multi-rapids shallows.

But so what?

Since Zhu Qizhen has spoken, he naturally has to be able to do it.

Dongshengwei can be built quickly, and the transportation of materials above the Yellow River is indispensable.

So there is a fleet of ships on the Yellow River.

There are not many of them, but they can become the support of the cavalry of Shanxi Town at a critical time.

If the Tile Thorn army goes south. Maybe the cavalry of Shanxi Town will camp on their backs, and with the support of the ships, the tile spurs may not be able to fight quickly.

Now the area north of Xuanda, Daning, and south of Kaiping is the place with the most garrisons of the imperial court, and even the Beijing camp has 50,000 cavalry stationed in this area, and it is still possible to transfer 100,000 cavalry in a short period of time.

That's why he didn't take the army south first. Because if you don't want to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry, there is not much difference between 20,000 and 30,000 cavalry.

Originally, I also wanted to do some more things, and I couldn't beat the Ming Army Brigade, but I could also fight some squads. Now I have the treasure of silage.

He immediately adjusted the importance in his heart, the most important thing was to bring the people who knew the silage method to Mobei, and the second was to press the captured fifty or sixty thousand back to Mobei.

Anything is in the bag.

Therefore, he did not have nostalgia at all, and immediately evacuated from Dongshengwei, crossed the Hanhai, and returned to Mobei.

Before leaving, he inadvertently glanced to the west, but saw that there were mountains continuous, where it was not somewhere else, but the Yin Mountain that made the Dragon City fly and was not called Humadu Yin Mountain.

How he had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

immediately suppressed this feeling, and then led the team away.

A few days later, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to the Acropolis of Dongsheng, but they still couldn't catch up.

It's just that although the battle of Dongshengwei is over, the aftermath of this battle is not so easy to end.

In this battle, Li Wen did not get a single head, but was captured by the thorn of 50,000 Mongols. The territory of Dongshengwei is empty.

The issue of Li Wen's attack sparked a strong debate in the imperial court.

Many nobles believed that Li Wen was incompetent in defending the land, affecting the people under his rule, and should be imprisoned. However, the civil officials headed by Wang Wen believed that Li Wen was alone and that it was already a great achievement to be able to protect the city, and as for the Mongol tribes that had just surrendered, their hearts could not be questioned, and Li Wen's handling was not wrong.

This is actually the sequelae of Li Wenwen's establishment of the Li family in Xining and the change of earl for the Li family.

In the past, it was the saint's family, and the ministers were unwilling to confront the emperor head-on, but now that Li Wen has committed something himself, he will naturally fall into the ground.

Let people know that there are some things that can't be done.

As for why the civilian side supports it?

Because this decision was made by Yu Qian.

Although Yu Qian is not in the center, it does not mean that Yu Qian has no allies in the center.

Wang Wen, the secretary of the ministry, served in Shaanxi, and he knew the situation in Shaanxi very well, and he also hated the situation in some local health centers.

Therefore, I support Yu Qian's approach.

If you can release the military power with a glass of wine, and get in touch with the privileges of some local guard officers, many civilian officials are willing.

Although Wang Ji is not in good health and has been sick all the year round, he still supports Li Wen about this incident.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Qizhen knew very well that Li Wen's matter had become the eye of the storm.

This is also the inevitable result of Zhu Qizhen's implementation of the Northern Expedition and the reform of the guard station. The layers of contradictions only broke out at this time, and Zhu Qizhen had already decided that it was a little late.

As for why it was Shi Heng who jumped out to support it.

The reason is very simple, among the orthodox nobles, Shi Heng is the most ugly. He has special interests in Haixi, and the Shi family is well-known in the ginseng market in Guannai.

Although Shi Heng is an upstart, his ass is already sitting on the side of the original guard officer.

The reason for his choice was simple.

Shi Heng was born and died, not just for glory and wealth. How to maintain one's own glory and wealth, it is like a local guard, which seems to be the land of the country, but in fact it is the land that has been divided by various families.

Shi Heng also occupied a lot of tuntian in Haixi. It became the private land of the Shi family.

And other orthodox nobles are all relatively well-established. Such as Yang Hong, his ancestors are also the founding heroes. has its own political sensitivities.

Maybe he may not be willing to give up the interests here, but he also has other interests to support. In other words, Yang Hong cares more about the Yang family occupying a place in the Ming army for generations, rather than some money or something.

But Shi Heng couldn't do that.

Of course, Shi Heng also won many battles, and developed a posture of giving up who he was, feeling that the war was imminent, and the court would definitely not treat him badly. He Shi Heng is indispensable to fight the tile spur decision.

In the face of these changes, Zhu Qizhen silently thought about his own policies.

Zhu Qizhen is right to stir up the army by fighting tile thorns and complete his own reforms

Or is it not right?

The battle with the tile spur has made the authority of many people increase rapidly, and Shi Heng is a typical example. He originally thought that Shi Heng could become his helper, but at this moment, the newly trained general seemed to have his own mind.

But he still felt that he was not wrong.

Without him, if there is no war, who knows how effective the so-called military reform will be? If there is no war, and there is such a military investment, the civilian side will not be able to get by. If there is no war, will Zhu Qi have no backlash against the military system?

There will still be, but in a different way.

It's just that Shi Heng did disappoint him.

Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart and said, "It's a pity for Shi Heng." There was a gleam in his eyes. The name Shi Heng was remembered by Zhu Qizhen. 、

Traitors are more odious than heretics.

Of course, Shi Heng is not wrong in what he thinks, when he is about to fight, Zhu Qizhen will never move the general, and Shi Heng is still needed to fight the tile spur. Therefore, the handling of this matter requires ways and means.

First of all, how is Levine doing?

It can be described as mediocre.

Therefore, Li Wen is not suitable for border generals. Zhu Qizhen decided to give Li Wen relevant punishments, remove Li Wen's official position as Dong Shengwei, and transfer him to the Taifu Temple.

said that he used his horse to raise his specialty, but it was to let him sit on the cold bench.

Without him, most of the work of Taifu Temple was taken away by other yamen.

First of all, the Taifu Temple was fostered in the people's home horses, and now they have been transferred into the galloping system by the Ministry of War, hundreds of thousands of horses maintain Beijing to Zunhua, Beijing to Xuanfu, Beijing to Datong, Zunhua to Daning, Xuanfu to Datong. The galloping road from Tengxian to Suqian.

As for Tengxian to Suqian, that is, when the canal was interrupted, it was temporarily built to maintain the north-south cargo transportation channel, and now although the canal is unblocked, this channel is still in operation.

After Cao Nai's arrival, he allowed the gallop commercial transport, becoming the first gallop road in the Ming Dynasty that could produce benefits.

With so many places to use horses, the horses that Taifu Temple fostered for the people were almost insufficient.

In other places, the Taifu Temple is still in normal operation, but in general, these Taifu Temples are more under the jurisdiction of local governors and governors, and the Taifu Temple in the capital cannot be controlled.

That is, Li Wen sat on the cold bench, of course, the knighthood treatment that should be given to him was still given to him.

Zhu Qizhen seemed to be impartial, and with a living political attitude, he ended this matter.

Zhu Qizhen has been preparing for this big war for so many years, and before the big war, stability was the main thing in the imperial court. In all cases, Zhu Qizhen can temporarily back down.

As long as he can win the tile spur and have a brilliant victory, Zhu Qizhen can naturally settle accounts slowly.

After all, it will be a long time coming.

Everything was in preparation for the Northern Expedition.
