The "good man" who led the cavalry to relieve the siege of the border city was indeed Yang Shaofeng's dearest Timur brother.

As soon as he entered the city, Timur hurriedly ran to Yang Shaofeng, looked up and down several times before he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Yang, it's great that you're okay, this time I'm worried about the death of my brother!" ”

Yang Shaofeng smiled reluctantly: "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the old brother this time, we might never see each other again in the future." ”

Timur laughed and said: "How come, even if I don't come, it is estimated that Mai Duo will not be able to break the city." A few thousand-person teams, for your Brother Yang, it is estimated that it is a small trouble? ”

"Mai Duo?"

Timur nodded and said, "Yes, he is the mastermind of this siege of the border city." This person is from the Golden Family, but even if he was born at the wrong time, he is now just the co-head of several small tribes. ”

Mai Duo is not Temujin, nor is he Kublai Khan, and the most suitable way to describe him is that his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.

Obviously, all the plans are in place, and there are no problems when they are executed, but there is no way, God does not favor him Mai Duo.

If the small flag guarding the west gate had been a little later and had not been policed, if the Tatar cavalry led by Timur had arrived a little later, if the thousands of households defending the border city could not hold on, if it had not been for the young men in the border city who could help transport supplies......

However, no matter how much if, it's only if.

The crumbling border city never fell, but Mai Duo was driven away by the 3,000 iron horsemen brought by Timur - if Mai Duo could really gather a team of tens of thousands of people, maybe it should be Timur who ran.

But isn't there a word in this world called "claim", the wife Cao Neng is known as 830,000, Mai Duo scrapes together a few thousand-person teams, the thousand-person team is called 10,000 people, and the 50,000-strong army makes a grand debut.

However, for Yang Shaofeng, whether it is before or after the crossing, this time is definitely the closest to death, and he was almost sent to see the Buddha.

If this is really hanging, I don't know if the position of land god that Lin Tang asked for from the nun is officially established, and whether the heavenly court will recognize it......

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Yang Shaofeng said with a gloomy face: "Who are these small tribes?" ”

Timur said with a smile: "This kind of small tribe is not worth Brother Yang's personal action.

Our Taishi said that one of the young men of the tribes who turned around was counted as one, and all of them were sent to Brother Yang at the price of five taels of silver, so there would be no additional money, it was a gift from him to Brother Yang. ”

As if he was worried that Yang Shaofeng would not be able to swallow this breath, Timur crossed his fingers and said: "You see, if the Ming Dynasty sends troops to recruit those small tribes, not to mention how many soldiers, horses, grain and grass will be prepared, and how much silver will be spent, this time alone will be a big problem."

You see, since Mai Duo's dog dares to come, it means that he doesn't plan to do business with Brother Yang through the border market, and if the siege of the border city fails this time, it is estimated that he will immediately flee, where will you go to find him when the time comes? ”

Yang Shaofeng said with a gloomy face: "Deal!" ”

Yang Shaofeng is not short of money, and the problem that money can solve has never been a problem - it is indeed a little unrealistic to let the Ming army's army go to Mai Duo's trouble, but let the Tatars go to Mai Duo's trouble, presumably the Tatars who have money will be very happy.

Seeing Yang Shaofeng so happy, Timur rubbed his hands again, laughed twice and said, "What's that, what is the salt this time, you see?" ”

Yang Shaofeng sighed and said: "You can add some more salt, and I will write to Your Majesty to increase the supply of salt to the grassland, but this price cannot be lowered again." ”

Timur nodded and said, "No problem, I know that Brother Yang is not easy." By the way, I won't bother Brother Yang much today, you still have something to do in the city, and I have to go back to the army, so I'll leave first? ”

Yang Shaofeng's brows furrowed, and he said, "Let's go?" Why is it in such a hurry? ”

Timur said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I'm just returning to the army outside the city, not leaving the border city."

Sighing helplessly, Timur continued: "It's not that I don't want to stay in the city, but the Taishi governs the army very strictly, and a person like me who commands the army must stay in the army and must not leave without permission."

However, Taishi also said that in order to prevent Mai Duo from coming back, I will lead the troops to be stationed not far away, and when the Ming army comes over, I will leave with people. ”

……

Zhu Laosi's face was gloomy, the atmosphere in the entire palace was extremely depressing, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the Han king Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to come out with the atmosphere like two quails, Zhu Zhanji stood in front of the imperial case, and was also silent without saying a word, and the rest of the bigwigs looked at their noses and noses.

Zhu Laosi, who had already slept, was called up in the middle of the night, and Zhu Zhanji, who was driven back to Shuntian Mansion by Yang Shaofeng, looked aggrieved, and then learned from Zhu Laosi about Mai Duo.

Then Zhu Laosi, who has always been magnanimous, was unhappy.

Zhu Laosi is not happy, the Four Heavenly Kings and the officials of the Six Ministries don't want to be happy, except for the British Gong Zhang Fu who has returned to Jiaozhi, the rest of the bigwigs like Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong were also carried into the palace by Zhu Laosi.

The focus of Zhu Laosi's focus is similar to that of Yang Shaofeng, the difference is that Yang Shaofeng will also care about how the siege equipment such as cloud ladders flows into the grassland, while Zhu Laosi is concerned about only one problem - how Mai Duo wants to die!

Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely dull, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but bow down and say, "If Your Majesty wants to go on an expedition to Mobei......"

Before Xia Yuanji could finish speaking, Zhu Laosi directly interrupted: "The treasury has no money, right?" ”

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then quickly finished the following words: "Wugang has 30,000 cars, build a journey in ten days, levy 100,000 people, and the treasury will pay!" ”

Zhu Laosi glanced at Xia Yuanji unexpectedly and said, "Why are you so generous this time?" ”

Xia Yuanji said angrily: "Mai Duo should be damned!" To treat this kind of thing, you should bury him directly in the soil according to Yang Lu's words! ”

Hu Guang drooped his eyelids and said: "Xia Butang is generous, but when your side is fully prepared, and the guards are also in place, I'm afraid that Mai Duo doesn't know where he has gone, is the silver in the treasury so wasted?" ”

Xia Yuanji squinted at Hu Guang and said: "What is a big deal if Mai Duo runs away, this time it is to let everyone on the grassland know that if you dare to fight the idea of the border city, you must be ready to die!" ”

Hu Guang sighed softly and said: "Spent a lot of money, but just to scare the barbarians on the grassland? According to the old man, you are worried about the safety of Yang Shaofeng, so you don't hesitate to take the money from the treasury as a favor! It's not like a son of man! ”

Xia Yuanji was furious, turned around and walked a few steps, grabbed Hu Guang's beard, and then slapped him: "Old horseman!" If you can get tens of thousands of taels of tax silver to the treasury in such a short period of time, the old man is also worried about you!

The old man knows that you can't get used to Yang Zhuangyuan, but for his own selfish interests, he ignores the country's major affairs. Six out of forty you have lived in vain! ”

Xia Yuanji, who was already fifty years old, beat Hu Guang at the age of forty-six, the key was that Hu Guang didn't dare to fight back, and by the time the imperial guards separated the two, Hu Guang's official robe had been torn several times, and even his beard was cut down several times by Xia Yuanji.

Zhu Laosi said with a gloomy face: "Okay, my ministers are all good at their skills, Yang is crazy and said that the current literati have no power to restrain chickens, but he is wrong." ”

Xia Yuanji shook off the few beards on his hand, bowed down and said: "The ministers lost their manners in front of the minister, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

Hu Guang also bowed down and said: "The minister is guilty. ”

Zhu Laosi ignored the two old cultivators who were already halfway buried in the soil, and instead set his eyes on Li Hezhong: "What does Li Aiqing think?" ”

Li Hezhong, who was half-squinting, heard Zhu Laosi's question, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are old and unbearable, and they are already embarrassed to drive ......."

Directly interrupting Li Hezhong's words, Zhu Laosi squinted his eyes and said: "If Li Aiqing doesn't have a very good opinion, why don't you let Yang go crazy and come back, and Li Aiqing will go to the border city to preside?" ”

Li Hezhong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the method chosen by Yang Zhuangyuan is extremely appropriate, and the problems that can be solved with money for five taels of silver per person are often not a problem."

However, what Xia Butang said is also extremely reasonable, just relying on silver to solve it, it can solve the Mai Duo one, but it may not be able to scare everyone, so Wang Shi should be sent as the main army, and the three guards of Tatar, Warat, and Taining should be transferred as partial teachers, and completely destroy the thieves of Mai Duo's department, thinking that the latecomers will be precautioned. ”

Yang Rong bowed and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

As a large number of seconded voices sounded, Zhu Laosi said with a dark face: "Hu Guang and Xia Yuanji lost their manners in front of them, and they are all public-minded, so they will be fined for half a year, and the two shall not be investigated afterwards." ”

After these civil officials and ministers all withdrew from the palace, Zhu Laosi turned his eyes to Zhu Yong, who had been watching in silence: "What do you really think?" ”

Zhu Yong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, what Li He said is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country. What Xia Butang said is for the abundance of the national treasury, but also to keep a talent like Yang Zhuangyuan, and he is also dedicated to the country. As for Hu Guang, it's hard for the minister to say.

In addition, the minister thinks that there is another matter that should be thoroughly investigated! ”

Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Yong said: "According to what His Royal Highness Taisun said, Mai Duobu was obviously going to Border City and Yang Zhuangyuan, and the minister even suspected that they might know that His Royal Highness Taisun was also in Border City at that time.

Chen was thinking, what kind of person would want to put Yang Zhuangyuan to death so deliberately? Even at the expense of putting His Royal Highness the Grand Sun in danger? ”

Zhu Laosi snorted, and then spoke: "But really go back first, choose 30,000 elite horsemen to go to the border city, and wait for Mai Duo's matter to be over, leaving 10,000 to garrison near the border city." ”

After Zhu Yong also left the palace, Zhu Laosi set his eyes on Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Zhanji: "Did you hear it?" ”
