Liu Jian personally took a few henchmen in the court to inspect the heads sent into the capital by Shen Xi's department before, and Zhu Youzhu suddenly issued another holy decree: "The place to build the Beijing View is changed to the nine gates of the capital, and it is in the city!" ”

Now what Zhu Youzhu wants to deter is no longer the foreign people, but the people under his rule, because he feels that since the external troubles have temporarily subsided, the next most likely threat to the imperial power is the internal troubles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people of the military department originally wanted to play it inappropriately, after all, displaying their heads on the streets of Jiumen would make the people frightened, after all, it was the head of a dead man, but Zhu Youji's side had made up his mind, and there was no one who could preside over the overall situation to come out to advise the emperor, and the emperor's decision could only be obeyed unconditionally.

After a long interval this time, the fifth batch of heads was not sent in for a long time, and everyone knew that it was now necessary to wait for the carriage to be sent out of the city before the next batch of heads could be transported into the city.

Zhu Youzhu asked Zhu Lie curiously: "General Zhu, the fifth batch, how many heads are there?" ”

Zhu Lie happily replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's probably about seven thousand!" ”

This time, Liu Jian was not on the side of the viewing platform, only Li Dongyang and others were there, Li Dongyang played the role of a questioner this time, and asked sharply: "But it's a lie?" ”

Zhu Lie said with a smile: "I didn't lie, these 7,000 heads, after the Tatar national teacher Yisima returned, and led the troops to start a battle against the Tumu Fort, that battle was simply a Jedi counterattack in the city, the fight was called a tragedy, and even Lord Shen personally supervised the battle at the head of the city, Lord Shen was also infected with the wind and cold at that time, and personally held the battle flag to stand at the head of the city, a bloody battle, Lord Shen's condition worsened, and it did not improve for several days after that, and the soldiers were worried......"

Xie Qian coughed twice beside him and said, "Tell the point!" ”

Zhu Lie knew Xie Qian, knew that this was the old man of the court, and knew that he was Shen Xi's father-in-law, and he had much more respect for Xie Qian in his heart than Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said:

"What the elder said is that the last general will say the point. It is said that this battle was on October 23...... This battle was fought very hard, after this battle the Tatar soldiers and horses retreated, at that time Lord Shen said, our army is already a tired division, military resources have been seriously insufficient, if the Tatar division does not withdraw, then you can take advantage of the situation to counterattack, our army can only fight to the death, it is estimated that the end of today will not be able to report to the emperor and all the masters here! ”

Even though Li Dongyang didn't believe in Shen Xi's exploits, and even thought that Shen Xi's head was false, he was still deeply shocked in his heart after hearing Zhu Lie's recital.

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, no wonder no one knew why the Tatar national division Yisima suddenly withdrew his troops from Xuanfu, and then withdrew to the grassland...... All of this is the credit of Shen Xi'er! ”

Zhu Youji's heart was excited, he clenched his fists, patted his son's shoulder again and again, and said: "What Mr. Xie said is that this is the last battle of Tumubao, and the results of the battle with the soldiers and horses of the Yibu tribe do not seem to have been included in it......"

Zhu Lie said: "Your Majesty is wrong! ”

Xie Qian said coldly: "What did you say? Your Majesty is wrong? ”

Zhu Youzhu faced a hero like Zhu Lie, who had no emperor at this time, and smiled and relieved: "Hey, Mr. Xie, don't be rude to General Zhu." General Zhu, what do you say I did wrong? ”

Zhu Lie said: "Your Majesty said that this is the last battle of Tumubao, which is wrong. Tumu Fort and then there was a battle, a Tartar general named Ulica brought more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, in a vain attempt to contain the soldiers and horses in the fort outside the Tumu Fort back to Beijing Shiqin Wang, as a result, Lord Shen immediately decided, on October 26 raised troops and Ulica soldiers and horses to fight hard, and it was a complete victory! ”

……

……

Before, Shen Xi reported his credit to the imperial court, but he said it in front of the emperor and his ministers in the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't take it too seriously when he heard it.

There are two reasons, one is Xie Qian's instructions to Shen Xi, when reporting credit, you must try to suppress your own merits, and not exaggerate your role in this battle;

The second reason is that there is no specific proof to corroborate what Shen Xi said in the court at that time, saying that "on October 26, he broke through the siege and broke through thousands of enemies in a battle, that is, returned to the Yongguan Pass", and even the specific number of Tatar soldiers killed, wounded and captured was all written in pass, and no one knew what the specific situation of this battle was.

Now after the head is dedicated, the situation is naturally different, and the most intuitive embodiment of the credit is the head.

Shen Xi experienced a series of bloody battles in Tumubao, and the blow to Yismayin's department was almost devastating and devastating, and it was precisely because he saw that there was no hope of attacking Tumubao that he chose to withdraw his troops to Xuanfu, and then tried to dominate the grassland.

In Yi Si Mayin's logic, if he lost so many soldiers and horses, if he was attacked by the Dayan Department and captured the capital of the Ming Dynasty, or if he withdrew from the Central Plains safely, then the tribe with great loss of strength would inevitably not be able to gain a foothold on the grassland in the future.

"Good, good fight!"

Zhu Youzhu praised directly.

The emperor rarely praised people so fruitfully before, Zhu Youzhi knew how to control the way of the ministers, he couldn't praise anyone in front of the ministers casually, and he wouldn't deliberately belittle anyone, who had the ability and who didn't, just remember it in his heart, and when he promoted the officials below in the future, he knew it in his heart, and it would be obvious in the promotion and demotion.

Shen Xi led his troops to fight in Tumu Fort repeatedly, and directly destroyed more than 20,000 Tatar soldiers and horses, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if these 20,000 soldiers and horses were not destroyed by Shen Xi, but put into the capital, then would the nine gates of the capital still be able to hold under the onslaught of the Tatars?

Li Dongyang's face was a little unkind, but he couldn't argue with Zhu Lie, thinking to himself: "Young Master Liu has now verified the authenticity of those heads, if there is a situation of killing good people and risking merit, Young Master Liu will definitely find out!" ”

Because there has always been a habit of killing good people and risking merit in the land of the Nine Sides, these top ministers in the DPRK and China have never completely believed in the merits of the military generals, and when they come to Shen Xi, because the merits played by Shen Xi are even more incredible, they will not believe a word.

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Father, the son has long said that Mr. Shen has the talent of Ziya Kongming, and now he has achieved such a great merit, how should he be rewarded?" ”

Zhu Youzhu just now also praised Shen Xi because he heard the blood gushing all over his body, and he couldn't help it, but now if he wants to reward Shen Xi for his merits, he needs to think about it.

Shen Xi is already a feudal official of the second grade, and then reward, it seems that only the feudal marquis is the most practical, but the problem is that Shen Xi is a civil minister, not a military general, in the Ming Dynasty, the civil minister is not a marquis, that is the custom, before Ma Wensheng won a great victory in the northwest and was also not knighted, but finally promoted to the official department of Shangshu, in the first place in the six ministries of the court.

It is obviously inappropriate to use Shen Xi's age to make six Shangshu, besides, in this battle, in fact, above Shen Xi, there is also Liu Daxia, who has promoted Shen Xi, where will Liu Daxia be placed?

Zhu Youzhu was a wise king in the end, and he waved his hand and said: "This matter can be discussed later, everyone, and continue to accompany me to complete the prisoner sacrifice ceremony!" ”
