Chapter 431: The Silver Mountain Brought Back by the Ming Fleet
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Hanwen of the household department: "Does the household still have military salaries?" ”
If not, you can only open the internal money.
Han Wen did not dare to deceive: "The summer tax has just passed, and the treasury is full, which can be supplied to Datong until the spring of next year." ”
Three years, the Tatars could not afford to spend it.
If they don't go south to plunder, the grain they trade alone is not enough to fight the Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Yan Chengjin said: "There are mines and hundreds of firearms, but it is not difficult to defend the city." ”
Tatar Khan had three Hongyi generals in his hands.
I have to find a way to take back these three Hongyi generals.
"But... According to Guogong's recital, the 10,000 troops of North Korea were far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses of Datong could fight with the Tatars. Qin Hong said.
There are no large iron smelters in North Korea.
Their iron tools still need to be exchanged with Goryeo to participate in the Ming Dynasty.
Before fighting the Jurchens, the Jurchens wore animal skins, animal skins against cloth clothes, and half a catty and eight taels of equipment.
But against the elite cavalry of the Tatars, it turned into a cabbage with a knife and two sections.
Emperor Hongzhi was worried and hesitated whether to send the British Duke north.
"Wait another three days, if there is no urgent return, I will order the British Duke to go north."
If the Tatars break through Datong and go south and besiege the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the past two days, Yan Chengjin has settled Zhu Houzhao's accounts, and he is honest and trustworthy.
He remembered that he was going to write a letter to his father.
Dayan Khan recovered five Tatar tribes, and his troops were unprecedentedly strong, and he and his father were old enemies.
Sooner or later, the loop will be committed again.
"Daddy has to be more vigilant and beware of Dayan Khan's raid."
Yan Chengjin thought for a while, and said to He Neng: "It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, bring two boxes of moon cakes to my father... Forget it, it's easy to poison people on the road, so don't carry it. ”
"......" how can he.
For the young master's cautious temperament, he is used to it.
He had already secretly prepared three boxes of moon balls, ready to be brought to the master, and then brought to the steward of a box of houses.
Although the family rules are strict, every festival, Yan Chengjin is very good to the subordinates in the house.
It's time to receive the Mid-Autumn Festival bonus once a year, but unfortunately, the house manager is not there, and the bonus is saved.
He was dressed in Confucian clothes and sat in the main hall of the new courtyard.
"Little nobleman, the Mid-Autumn Festival reward is twenty taels."
The little noble son is Liu Fugui, the disciple, he hurriedly walked up and laughed so hard that his mouth cracked: "Little thank you, young master." ”
memorized hundreds of code words a year, and it was difficult for him.
Menzi has the highest reward for silver, followed by the Chunxiao sisters, fifteen taels of silver.
He Neng made two mistakes and deducted ten taels from the bonus, only ten taels, and almost fainted from crying.
In the evening, someone lightly knocked on the door of the Yan Mansion, saying that it was a secret letter from Song Jing.
Xiao Guizi didn't know whether to open the door or not, so he hurriedly went to inform Yan Chengjin.
Knowing that it was the news of Datong, Yan Chengjin came to the door of the mansion in person: "Song Jing asked you to send a secret letter?" ”
"Returning to my lord, exactly! But he said he didn't know the secret words either...... "The pro-soldier said."
"What about Song Jing?"
"With Grandpa Miao, I have entered Beijing."
He Neng opened the secret letter, glanced at it before giving it to Yan Chengjin, and said with a smile: "It's really Master Song." ”
Yan Chengjin opened the secret letter: 6,000 mines, showing their might, and killing the enemy with hundreds of cannons, like a knife cutting grass mustard......
Killed the three princes of Tatar and Shu Shujueluo, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens?!
Your Majesty should reward you with it.
……
Dongnuan Pavilion,
Song Jing and Miao Kui knelt in the main hall and waited quietly for Emperor Hongzhi to finish watching the recital.
Kill the third son of Dayan Khan, Barsborot.
Beheaded enemy generals, more than 8,760 people, and countless disabled.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty again, more than 3,400 people were lost, and most of them were Korean soldiers.
Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, went around to the rear of the enemy camp and burned his baggage granary, forcing the Tatars to retreat.
This battle can be called the largest since the Battle of the Hetao.
Emperor Hongzhi was faintly excited: "It's good to be able to hold it, and when my Daming Mansion Treasury is full, I will definitely take back the northern territory!" ”
In the Datong War, the Ordos Department suffered heavy losses and ran out of military salaries.
The Tatars had to retreat into the depths of the steppe to recuperate.
The remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchen fled in all directions, scattered in various regions of Liaodong, and the Duke of Baoguo led more than 8,000 soldiers and horses to pursue.
Although Datong Town was defended, the Ming army spent a lot of money on firearms this time.
Liu Jian groaned: "Dayan Khan dominates all the tribes of the steppe, and it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. ”
"The minister thinks that it is better to send troops as soon as possible and attack Tatar." Qin Hong looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment, but shook his head: "When the prosperous era comes, it is not too late to subdue the four seas." ”
Tatar is strong, I am afraid it will take three or five years to fight, and the Ming Dynasty will also be greatly injured, and the prosperous era will be even farther away.
Qin Hong wanted to speak and stopped, how difficult it was to prosper in the prosperous era, it took several generations of emperors to accumulate merits, how could it be a one-time achievement?
Seeing this, Ma Wensheng did not advise.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Song Jing, who was standing in the palace and was polite and polite, and his face became more and more fond: "Although Song Qing's family is a scholar and does not know the art of war and horse politics, he can use firearms to supplement the imperial court to retreat from the enemy, and he should be credited with the first credit."
Spread my will, promoted to the head of the Ministry of Industry's Camp and Cleaning Division, and added 50 stone to rice! ”
Han Yuan's dispatch of officials needs to go through the observation of politics, and even Yan Chengjin is no exception.
It is a great honor to be directly transferred to the Ministry of Engineering!
After the court, Song Jing returned to the house, even in the capital, his wife worked as hard as in his hometown.
Let him make a loom, weave every day, sell silk to the Liangxiang workshop, and subsidize the family.
Song Jing said softly: "Madame killed a ** today, I am happy." ”
Huang's cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, and soon after she came to the capital, she became pregnant.
The stomach has bulged slightly.
But the husband Jun Mune, who hugged her to bed every night, didn't notice it, but today he actually knew.
Huang chuckled: "I sleep next to my husband every night, and you haven't noticed it when I've been pregnant for more than three months, how did my husband open up today......
Song Jing stood like a piece of wood, standing in place: "The happy thing for my husband is that Lord Yan made me go north to make military merits and was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Industry......"
Huang froze.
But she knew that her husband was a wooden man.
In addition to reading and tinkering with household goods, he doesn't know the way of life at all, and even buys meat to weigh it, and he has to be instructed.
"The butcher in the West Market hasn't made a sample yet, I'll buy two catties of pork meat and a pot of good wine, and you can send it to Lord Yan."
Yan Fu,
Yan Chengjin was quite surprised when he saw the pork and wine sent by Song Jing.
taught Song Jing a lot of ways to deal with people, but he just couldn't learn it.
Enlightened today?
Song Jing took the gift, but he didn't know what to say: "Madame asked the students to give it to the adults." ”
Yan Chengjin was a little disappointed, it was really difficult for him to make Song Jing sophisticated.
"How can you eat it, this official won't eat it."
…………
The summer breeze in August becomes refreshing.
A fast horse galloped to the noon gate at great speed, and the spy did not have a report in his hand, but ran quickly towards the Jinyi guard duty room.
"Lord Mu, Liu Jin, who went to Manraka Guojian Prison, is back, there is really a silver mountain!"
Jinyi Wei Spy Newspaper.
Mu Bin's head buzzed, put down the book, there is really a mountain of silver.
He hurriedly came out of the duty room and ran to the Fengtian Temple.
The yamen of Liangxiang should soon be sparsely played.
But the news of Jinyiwei has to be faster to be called Jinyiwei.
He strode into the Fengtian Temple, muffling his voice:
"Your Majesty, Liu Jin, who went to Mangara Guojian Prison, is back, and there is a mountain of silver."
In just a few words, Emperor Hongzhi's heart was full of joy, and his fatigue was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
"How many?"
"This, the minister didn't ask clearly." Mu Bin was embarrassed.
Han Wen quickly calculated and said worriedly: "Shipbuilding and going to sea spend a lot of silver taels, less than 500,000 taels, and you will lose money." ”
Li Dongyang didn't listen at all, and his excitement was difficult to calm down.
Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly asked, "Master Li is unwell?" ”
"It's not... It's my son, I'm back! Li Dongyang raised his sleeves and wiped the moist corners of his eyes.
At this time, Liangxiang.
Li Zhaoxian set foot on the land of Daming again, and he couldn't help but sigh that the world is so big, and the good country is just a corner.
Fortunately, when Yu came to Yan Chengjin, he didn't get fame, found what he really wanted to do, and traveled all over the world.
"Move out and dry."
Liu Jin ordered someone to carry the plank out.
The rubber trees had sprouted, and he planted them on the planks in clay pots.
