In the middle of October, Beiping City was already dry and cold. Between the houses on the top of the hill with narrow and short eaves, only the fallen leaves are fluttering, and there is no trace of green leaves, which is a bleak atmosphere.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao in Beiping City, was in a state of mind at this time, just like the scene at the turn of autumn and winter, which was both bleak and messy.

Zhu Gaosui was in a side hall, his face was gloomy and worried. He sat in a chair one moment, and then stood up and walked around, very anxious.

Long history Gu Sheng is playing the military situation of Mongolia.

Because when Zhu Gaosui was named the king of Zhao, the first emperor issued a holy decree: the military and political envoys of Beiping should report to the king of Zhao first, and then they can make decisions to implement them. Therefore, now the people of Zhao Wangfu have learned a lot of things from the government; This is also the reason why Zhu Gaosui is extremely annoyed.

Gu Sheng kept talking, and Zhu Gaosui listened very carefully, but until now, he hadn't even fully understood the forces on the grassland! After the Tatars canceled the title of Great Yuan, there were too many tribes.

Zhu Gaosui frowned and asked, "Mahamu and Arutai, are they Tatars or Waspurs?" ”

Gu Sheng said: "Back to the prince's words, Mahamu is a Wathorn people, and Arutai is the leader of the Tatars and the Asute tribe. ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Aren't the thorns and the Tatars attacking each other? ”

Gu Sheng arched his hand and said: "According to the secret report of the Tatars bought by the Beiping Dusi, the Tatars and the Tile Thorns are making peace and truce, and they want to see the opportunity to act, and they are ready to go south on the east and west sides, and rob the border land of the Ming Dynasty together!" ”

He paused, and then said: "Those tribes learned that the Ming Dynasty was fighting for the throne in China, and thought that the official army would transfer troops, and they would have a chance. In addition, Imakami refused the Wattshaws' request for weapons last year, which may have caused the displeasure of the Wattshaws Mahamu.

The Tatars used to claim to be descendants of the Great Yuan, and after the abolition of the Great Yuan State and the founding name of Mongolia; Its reputation is very loud, so it has always been regarded as the biggest hidden danger by the Ming court. and because the Waspur Mahamu was dissatisfied with the Tatars, there were many fights; As a result, the Watt Thorns thought that they had meritorious service to the Ming court, and asked for weapons and armor many times.

However, after listening to the advice of Ru Yu and others in the Ministry of War, he believed that the strength of the tile spur was constantly growing, and the assistance to his weapons was to raise tigers, so he refused the request and stopped giving weapons last year. ”

Gu Sheng paused for a while, and then whispered in a low voice: "Last year's incident, today may also have the intention of guarding against you, Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Gaosui walked around, suddenly stopped and asked, "That Benjamin is a Tatar, so he is in the same group as Arutai?" ”

"Exactly." Gu Sheng bowed, "Benjamin Khan is the Mongol Khan of the Tatars, but his strength is not strong; He became the Great Khan because of the support of many tribes, the largest of which was the Arutai tribe. ”

Zhu Gaosui gradually figured it out after hearing this, he returned to the throne and sat down, and said: "The people of the Wuliangha tribe have helped us fight the 'Battle of Jingjing', are they our own people?" ”

Gu Sheng shook his head and said: "Lord Mingjian, the tribe on the grassland can't be our own people!" The Wuliangha tribes once submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but at this time they are fighting hard; The bought Mongols told the Beiping Dusi that some tribes of Uliangha were preparing to pretend to be Tatars and rob with them! ”

"He's a mother!" Zhu Gaosui frowned and scolded. Just now, he wanted to send an envoy to help him guard the north for a while.

Gu Sheng walked to the throne, bowed his head and whispered: "The lower officials have eyes and ears in the Beijing Division, according to the secret report of the people in the Beijing Division, several feudal kings in the north are communicating privately, as if they want to unite to rebel!" ”

Zhu Gaosui glared and said, "Only now do you want to rebel?" ”

Gu Sheng said: "The prince knows, in the palace and the city of the vassal country, there must be the eyes and ears of the Jinyi guard and the traitorous spies, and it is not easy for the vassal king to raise troops...... It's not that the troops have not yet started, and the news has been reported to the Beijing Division! Moreover, a vassal country has too few troops and is easy to be surrounded and suppressed by the government garrison, so they want to join forces to raise troops, but it seems that they have not been secretly discussed for a long time about who will lead the way. ”

Zhu Gaosui said casually: "They don't want to come out first? ”

"Of course not!" Gu Sheng said, "Once you rebel, it is a matter of carrying the heads of the whole family, and if you don't come out, you will have to die if you fail." They are fighting over who will take the lead, and once it is done, that person should be the emperor in the future. ”

Zhu Gaosui asked, "Who are they?" ”

Gu Sheng said: "The people who have been secretly accused at the moment are the Dai Wang, the Qin King, the Jin King, and the Gu King. ”

"The king of the valley is in Changsha, how can he rebel?" Zhu Gaosui asked.

Gu Sheng said embarrassedly: "The officials don't know about this matter. ”

Zhu Gaosui's head is bigger!

His confidant eunuch Huang Yan had been persuading him to raise troops recently; But Zhu Gaosui suddenly heard that so many vassal kings wanted to soldier, and he was even more worried...... Because he couldn't have conspired with those vassal kings! Even if they rebel, they will definitely not be able to spare the people on King Yan's side! Zhu Gaosui and the other vassal kings were not at all the way.

"I'm so bold that I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Zhu Gaosui thought about it and helped his eldest brother scold. And what Huang Yan persuaded him to do was his eldest brother who raised troops against him.

After hearing this, Gu Sheng said: "The matter probably started because of King Qi (Zhu Rong).

In that year, Jianwen cut the domain, and the first emperor was forced to rebel, so there was a 'battle of appeasement'. The first emperor raised troops, under the banner of restoring the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, thinking that it was wrong to cut the feudal domain; But as soon as the first emperor sat on the throne, he immediately began to continue Jianwen's national policy of cutting down the domain!

The first emperor took advantage of the campaign of Annan to gradually recruit and weaken the protection of the southern kings; Before his death, the imperial court was already planning a northern expedition to Mongolia, and wanted to take the opportunity to continue to weaken the protection of the northern kings.

When the kings heard the news, they were dissatisfied. The first emperor then killed chickens and monkeys, and arrested the king of Qi, who often quietly hugged and insulted the first emperor in the palace! The father and son of King Qi are still imprisoned in Beijing! ”

Zhu Gaosui said uneasily: "If the kings raise an army to rebel, won't they come to fight the political envoys of Beiping?" ”

Gu Sheng said: "Beiping is an important place, and the first place they want to capture is probably here. ”

Zhu Gaosui scolded and said, "Will the Mongols come to Beiping?" ”

Gu Sheng persuaded with good words: "The Mongols don't have to worry, they will burn, kill, loot and plunder outside the city at most, and they will not be able to capture Beiping City." After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the grassland tribes fought for many years, and it was difficult to gather a strong army at present, and the strength to attack the important town was not enough. ”

Zhu Gaosui thought about it, and suddenly felt that Huang Yan's insight was completely inferior to Gu Sheng, a long history!

He said in his heart: Lao Tzu is now in the army, what should I do if those vassal kings call? If you don't have any troops, you can at least ask your eldest brother for help, or simply throw Beiping and run to Beijing.

I originally thought that Beiping was a good place, but who knew that it would now become a place of four wars!
