Before the Tatars sent out their troops, they liked to explore the Ming guards and troops, and now the traces of spies on the border indicate that they may be sending troops.

Especially this year's harvest is not good, and there is no grain for the winter, which makes this possibility even more certain.

"Strengthen the garrison of the border cities in Ningxia to prevent the sneak attack of the captives!" Emperor Hongzhi said.

Ma Wensheng knelt on the ground, with his many years of experience in guarding the border towns, there were many border towns in Ningxia, the guards were slack, and many of the soldiers in the guard station had fled, and the guard force was not as solid as His Majesty thought.

If the Tatars were given enough time to assemble their tribes, the towns would probably ......

"The minister thinks that attacking and defending and raising troops to attack and capture is the top priority." Ma Wensheng said bluntly.

As early as the Chenghua Dynasty, Ma Wensheng was stationed at the border and made many military exploits, but his fame was robbed by Wang Zhi, so the world only knew Wang Zhi, but did not know him Ma Wensheng.

He knew the Tatars all the better.

Li Dongyang said: "The minister also agrees, although the minister is not a military attaché, but he also understands the principle of preemptive strike, and then the principle of restrictive attack, now that there is an enemy sentry in Ningxia, the situation is different, and the general system of trilateral military affairs is precisely the famous general Wang Shichang of our dynasty, who may not be able to fight!" ”

Wang Shichang is the famous general Wang Yue, the military god of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Houzhao was already enthusiastic.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision: "Quasi-beggars!" It's just that although Wang Yue has experienced a hundred battles, he is already in his twilight years, and the Tatars are fierce and good at fighting, can there be someone who can assist in the military department? ”

Ma Wensheng pondered for a moment, the Ming Dynasty has nine sides, famous generals, most of them are guarding one side, and there is a lack of military generals in the DPRK and China, do you want to recommend Zhang Mao of the British Palace?

Zhu Houzhao was already excited, as soon as he said that the border was too peaceful, the Tatars attacked, isn't this an opportunity to test his art of war, but will he be beaten to death by his father, hum, anyway, the palace is called Zhu Houzhao, and he is not afraid of being beaten!

A very discordant voice sounded: "Son, someone can recommend!" ”

This rebel son is not good at studying, and he wants to make trouble, and Emperor Hongzhi glared at him angrily as a warning.

But Zhu Houzhao ate the scales and said with an iron heart: "The son is recommended, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Yan Kesong!" "If Yan Kesong goes to the front line for the palace to verify, who will dare to scold the palace in the future?

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, knowing what kind of goods his son was, he must not be in good intentions, but he said lightly: "Why do you recommend Yan Qing's family?" ”

Zhu Hou was on schedule, and Ai Ai didn't dare to speak.

Wang Wei of Zhan Shifu said loudly: "Yan Kesong has recently been writing "The Three Kingdoms Heroes Compete for Hegemony", and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is drawing a map in class, I'm afraid it will ............ Related to this. He didn't know that Zhao Houzhu was the prince, so he only said Yan Kesong.

Wang Wei read it and knew that it was a book on the art of war and strategy, and when he saw Emperor Hongzhi's face showing surprise, he said: "This book is about the melee of the Three Kingdoms, and there are many formations in it, but ...... But it's just on paper. ”

"Nonsense! That's Hongu...... That is the tactics that Master Yan came up with after several nights and many deductions, and if you don't verify it, none of you are qualified to scold the person who wrote the strategy. Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

Sure enough, as Lao Gao said, without verification, everyone thinks that this palace is nonsense!

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the war, said: "The minister thinks that what the prince said is not impossible!" ”

"The military department is confused! The enemy captives enter the customs to burn, kill and loot, is it child's play! "Liu Jian is angry, can you listen to Zhu Houzhao's words?

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a strange thing for civil officials to fight on the border, Wang Yue is the civil official who abandoned the pen from Rong in the previous dynasty, as His Majesty said, Wang Yue is old, there is no successor to the general, and the minister has also read the book written by Yan Kesong, if Yan Kesong really has a talent, I will add another fierce general in the Ming Dynasty, why not?" ”

Li Dongyang thought for a while, and also said: "The minister thinks that what the Ministry of War said is very true, at this time, it is the time of the alternation of green and yellow, and the frontier Wang Yue can still be guarded, and it is not a big problem to have one less Yan Kesong, besides, now there is no general to send in the court." ”

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.

Emperor Hongzhi also figured it out: "Zhun Song, then order Yan Aiqing to go to the Ningxia Guard Station to assist Wang Yue in resisting the captives." ”

Yan Kesong won the battle, that is, to grow his face, Zhu Houzhao naturally spared no effort, "Father, if you don't give Master Yan a position, how can Master Yan command those soldiers, it's better to ...... Title a general, right? ”

Big you!

Are you a big steamed bun when you are a general!

It's the chief military officer, how does this work? Ningxia general Li Jun has experienced a hundred battles, but he is only a general officer, and Peng Qing, the general of Yansui, has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and he is also the deputy chief soldier.

Ma Wensheng almost didn't get angry.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and said, "Seal a deputy commander!" ”

"The deputy commander? Why didn't Erchen remember to have this official position? Zhu Houzhao looked suspicious.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "I said that there is, there is!" ”

…………………………

Yan Mansion, Yan Kesong has always received inexplicable holy decrees recently.

"Cheng Jin, why is my father's official career so bumpy, I tried my best to teach the prince the truth of being a man, and taught him as his own son, he actually hurt me so much, it really hurt my father's heart, for my father for more than ten years, all I hold is a pen, when did I lead the troops to fight, but now, he wants his father to go to Ningxia Mansion, I am afraid that it will be a success, dry bones, and your father has one more body!" Yan Kesong lifted his cuffs and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yan Chengjin was frightened: "Dad is going to Ningxia to fight?" ”

"Today's military department played, there were traces of enemy spies outside the city of Ningxia, His Majesty issued a decree, named his father as the deputy commander of Ningxia, let his father go to Ningxia Mansion to garrison the border, since ancient times to punish the criminals, that is, exiled to the border to guard, my father is afraid ...... It's hard to come back. Yan Ke sighed with relief.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.

The war was chaotic, I don't know how many years I have to fight, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital, leaving my son alone in the capital, of course Yan Kesong is reluctant.

Whenever he thought of this, Yan Kesong burst into tears, my son has not yet married a wife and had children, I have not yet held a grandson, he has never figured out, when did he offend the prince again?

In his father's intermittent confession, Yan Chengjin guessed the key to this incident, and Zhu Houzhao let his father go to the battlefield in order to confirm his plan?

He told Zhu Houzhao the truth because even if he told Zhu Houzhao, he had nothing to do.

After all, it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to go to the battlefield in person, not to mention that Emperor Hongzhi will not let him, and the civil officials will not let him.

Unexpectedly, he actually put his father in, Zhu Houzhao is a dog, and he specializes in other people's fathers.

However, there are a thousand calculations!

Fortunately, he was still familiar with the garrison of Ningxia, and the trilateral general system at this time was Wang Yue, a famous military general in the Ming Dynasty.

The three sides refer to Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu.

It is said that it is a trilateral general system, but in fact, it commands the nine-sided general army.

Wang Yue was a brave and warlike general in the Ming Dynasty. The military achievements are impressive, and before the little prince became famous, he had led his troops through the Tatar lair, which can be described as the champion of the three armies!

As for the Tatars, the general who led the troops to the south this time was Dayan Khan, who made many emperors of the Ming Dynasty fearful, that is, the famous little prince in history, Batu Mengke.

This khan is also like a god to the Tatars, only one year younger than Emperor Hongzhi, but it is a nightmare that will hang over the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Coincidentally, the little prince has a strikingly similar background to Emperor Hongji, as a royal family, he was displaced by tribal civil strife since he was a child.

Later, he married a wife who was twenty-five years older than him, Manduhai, and with his blessing, he gradually rose.

Manduhai is the goddess of war of the grassland, holding the most elite troops on the grassland, and it is with the help of the power of Manduhai that the little prince gradually leads all the departments of the grassland and restores the situation of unification.

If you want to talk about the enemy of the little prince, Wang Yue should not give in, because he sent his wife to the sea and sent him to heaven.

Wang Yue's reputation is terrifying for the steppe, and as long as he is still guarding the border town, he can play a spiritual suppressive role on the Tatars.

"Dad don't have to worry, although the border is dangerous, but it is also an excellent opportunity to enter, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, there are a few civil officials who can lead the army to fight, with military exploits, Dad can be ranked as a prince." Yan Chengjin calmed his mood first.

If you go to the border crying like this, I'm afraid that if you don't get hacked to death, you will die of disease, right?

When a war starts, corpses are everywhere, there are many bacteria, and if you are not in a good mood, how can you lead troops to fight?

Yan Chengjin didn't want his parents to sacrifice to the sky, although he had already sacrificed one when he came over, but there was still one left, so he couldn't just send it away.

Yan Kesong gradually calmed down and said, "Dad can't rest assured of you, Dad is going to leave for Ningxia tonight." ”

In such a hurry?

Yan Kesong said: "What my son said is that the man's ambition is in all directions, how can he tolerate the private affairs of his children, Wang Yue is also from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he has been named the Marquis and worships the Prime Minister, and his father is also from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can he lose to him!" ”

Yes, that Wang Yue is also a civilian official, and he went to the front line to fight, so why be afraid?

Why did you get to the old man, you have to cry like this!

The next moment, Yan Kesong held his chest high: "After Dad leaves, you have to take good care of yourself, and when Dad comes back, I will tell you about family affairs. ”

Seeing that he was in a stable mood, Yan Chengjin hurried back to the room, and ordered Chunxiao to pack some luggage, and when he left, Yan Chengjin handed over a package to Yan Kesong: "Dad keep it, when you miss me, open it and take a look, when it is critical, you may be able to save your life." ”
