On the tenth day of the lunar month, Liu Daxia returned to the dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the morning of the same day, the imperial court sent a huge welcome team led by Li Dongyang, the deputy assistant to the cabinet, to Xizhimen to wait.

Liu Daxia had been sitting in Xuanfu Town before, and this time he returned to the court to take the first line of Tumubao - Juyong Pass, and inspected the defense of Juyong Pass by the way while visiting the tunnel defense system carefully constructed by Shen Xi to resist the Tatars.

Because the Tatars had withdrawn from the Xuanfu from the front line of Zhangjiakou Fort, Liu Daxia also undertook an important mission, that is, to recruit people to repair the Great Wall and the major passes, but due to the lack of money and food in the imperial court, this was actually a problem for the household department.

The inner and outer city walls and important passes destroyed by the Tatars must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise the Xuanda area, Yansui, Ningxia and other places will become undefended, and the Tatars will come and go as soon as they want, and the border people will not be at peace, and it will naturally be impossible to talk about developing the people's livelihood.

Shen Xi was very glad that he was not valued by the civil official group, otherwise whether he arranged for him to go to the three sides or the land of Xuanda to supervise the construction of the city fortress, or stay in the household department of the capital to help raise money and food, it would make him exhausted.

Shen Xi, as the absolute hero of the battle against Tatar, in a sense, made greater contributions than Liu Daxia, but he was not arranged by the imperial court to attend the grand and grand welcome ceremony that day.

On this day, Shen Xi stayed at home and devoted himself to sorting out a series of tactics used by Zhu Houzhao in the First Battle of Tumubao according to local conditions, and analyzed Zhu Houzhao from the perspective of the art of war, analyzing the difficulties faced in each battle, how to deal with them and the final results, and told him all about his mental journey at that time, so that Zhu Houzhao could personally feel the atmosphere on the battlefield.

For cultivating the Ming Prince, Shen Xi can be said to be conscientious.

It was not yet noon, and some guests came to visit the house.

Because he heard that the maid who was rumored to be wearing official clothes, Shen Xi thought that it was an official sent by the imperial court to announce the decree or have official dealings with him, but when he saw the person, he knew that it was an envoy sent by Liu Daxia to the capital in advance, and this time he came to visit Shen Xi and convey Liu Daxia's confession.

Liu Daxia did not write a letter to Shen Xi, because if the letter fell into the hands of someone with a heart, it might be used as evidence to attack him and Shen Xi's secret collusion.

The person sent by Liu Daxia was a long history in the border army, about thirty years old, who had previously served under the case of the governor of Yansui, and held the rank of a seven-rank official.

When he came to the main hall, after the envoy saw Shen Xi, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Shen, Liu Shangshu asked the lowly post to come and tell you about the cavalry dispatch." ”

Shen Xi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

The cavalry of Lin Heng and Wang Lingzhi before was almost the only remaining cavalry team in the border army. Liu Daxia learned that Shen Xi held on to Tumu Fort and repeatedly defeated the Tatar attacks, and knew that Shen Xi had the ability to return to the Beijing Division, so he sent the cavalry and handed it over to Shen Xi's command. Shen Xi finally lived up to Liu Daxia's trust, and before the Beijing division encountered danger, he killed King Qin in time, and finally relieved the siege of the capital, and then pursued the Tatars on this road, recovered a series of important cities such as Bauhinia Pass, Guangchang, and Ulzhou, and finally joined Liu Daxia's troops and horses in Xuanfu Town.

Liu Daxia first released the command of the cavalry, and finally took back the power, in this process, Shen Xi certainly showed his outstanding military talent, but also reflected Liu Daxia's ability to judge the situation, as well as Liu Daxia's absolute trust in Shen Xi.

The envoy said: "Liu Shangshuyan, about the cavalry exploits, the military department has not yet been formulated, please Shen Daren to write a note on his behalf, and transfer the song to the trilateral governor's yamen, the cavalry's exploits in this battle will be included in the account of the governor of Yansui Shen under the account of the soldiers and horses, the trilateral governor's yamen does not dare to steal the credit, Liu Shangshu will personally tell His Majesty about this matter!" ”

At first hearing this, Shen Xi felt that Liu Daxia was going to sell him favors and give away all the credit.

But if you think about it carefully, what does the credit of the cavalry have to do with you? Even if all the credit is given to himself, the imperial court is not ready to leave him in Beijing, and still let himself serve as a governor in the south.

"No need!"

Shen Xi immediately refused, "Whose credit should be whose credit is whose it is, the results of the bloody battles of the border army and the soldiers of the border army, this official does not dare to take credit." This official is just leading the soldiers of the Beijing battalion and coming back after a circle to Tumu Fort! ”

The envoy smiled and said: "Lord Shen is too modest, in this battle, you first defended the civil fort and contained a large number of Tatar troops, and then led the troops to King Qin, relieving the difficulty of the Beijing Division, and you are a well-deserved first hero in this battle." ”

"Liu Shangshu has already gone to Your Majesty earlier, please Your Majesty reward Lord Shen again."

"The soldiers of our border army are also grateful for the kindness of Lord Shen, if it were not for Lord Shen's continuous consumption of Tatar soldiers and horses, the Beijing division would be in danger, and it would be difficult for the soldiers of our border army to atone for their sins even if they died!"

Before, Shen Xi thought that Liu Daxia was just "polite" with him, and said a few nice words to him, the main intention was to let him accept it when he saw it, highlighting the merits of the border army in this battle. But now after listening to the envoy's meaning, Liu Daxia praised him, and it was clear that he was sincerely willing to make him the first achievement.

Shen Xi shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "You go back and tell Liu Shangshu, you don't have to be so humble!" ”

The comer's face became solemn, and he said, "Lord Shen, this is not only Liu Shangshu's intention, but also the unanimous opinion of the soldiers of my three sides and even the land of Xuanda. Before the pre-account discussion, Liu Shangshu's proposal was unanimously approved by the officers and men in the army, you don't deserve this merit, it's really unreasonable! ”

Shen Xi thought to himself: "On the issue of treating heroes, the civilian official group and the military general group are really different. In the civil official group, those civil servants who claim to be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty tried their best to suppress my merits, and when it came to the military general group, even if I didn't take the initiative to mention it, they were willing to show credit to the court for me! ”

Liu Daxia is a civilian official and is good at using various means to balance the forces of all parties, but he now represents the interests of the military general group, so he naturally has to follow the will of the soldiers under his command.

Shen Xi didn't have much hope for Liu Daxia before, the main reason was the battle of Yuxi River in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia's credit to him was repeatedly suppressed, so that he did not enjoy the glory of the hero, but this time Liu Daxia was unusual, which was much beyond Shen Xi's expectations.

Whether or not to rank first is of little significance to Shen Xi, and now he has only determined one thing, the military general group is on his side.

The court's reward for meritorious deeds is actually a manifestation of clear rewards and punishments, and Liu Daxia's guarantee of Shen Xi's interests is helping the court to win over the hearts of the soldiers. After the Battle of Yuxi River a few years ago, Shen Xi had a very high status in the minds of the border army soldiers, and after this battle against the Tatars, the border army soldiers respected Shen Xi as a god.

In this case, Liu Daxia pushed Shen Xi out as the first credit, so that the soldiers under his command felt that he was selfless, and it was also convenient for him to gather the military heart for the imperial court.

Not long after Shen Xi sent off the envoy sent by Liu Daxia, a stream of gift-givers appeared in front of the house.

The gifts were basically the border army generals who had connections in Beijing, and these generals did not return to the capital, but through the people who came back with Liu Daxia to fight the front station, they brought the news to the capital, and asked the families in the capital to give gifts to Shen Xi.

These gifts are not from the trophies or rewards of the border army, but from the family wealth of these soldiers.

Liu Daxia returned to the capital at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then surrounded by Li Dongyang and other courtiers, he went to the palace to face the saint.

And Shen Xi received six or seven waves of gift-giving guests that afternoon, although the gifts sent may not be worth a lot of money, but they are also worth a lot. Shen Xi wanted to refuse, but each family sent the gifts and left, leaving their names, but they didn't mention any intention of asking Shen Xi to do something.

Obviously, these border army generals are mainly grateful for Shen Xi's kindness, not to ask for help, they give Shen Xi gifts, and there is also a layer of meaning that they don't want to be left behind, Shen Xi has made great contributions in a row, and he will inevitably have a bright future in the DPRK and China in the future, and there is no harm in stammering more.
