At this time, Shanhaiguan is a cool autumn breeze!

The Duke of Liao and the general Wu Yong are gathering the generals in the city guard mansion.

Wu Yong sat in the middle of the hall, dressed in black armor, although he was old, he was in good spirits, and there was a black-clothed armor soldier on the left behind him, holding a sword, which was the sword of the Son of Heaven given to him by Zheng Wen.

And below him were more than a dozen generals in black armor, standing in two columns.

Wu Yong's face was serious, and he said loudly: "Sit, everyone sit!" ”

The people at the bottom sat down in turn.

Wu Yongcai opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty appointed Ben as a general, leading 200,000 troops to rescue Shanhaiguan, after arriving at Shanhaiguan, it has been a few days, but the two sides have already ceased war, in a standoff, the Mongols also sent envoys to the capital to negotiate peace, according to the future, I am afraid that this battle will not be able to fight, today I call everyone to discuss, see if you have any good suggestions?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yu, the guard general of Shanhaiguan, stood up and said: "Why did the general say this, I have also heard in the past few days that His Majesty has mobilized a million troops in the north, vowing to fight with the Mongols in Shanhaiguan, how can peace be negotiated so quickly?" ”

Wu Yong listened, and then spoke: "General Zhang has been in Shanhaiguan for a long time, and he doesn't know the situation in the court. In the more than 10 years since the Great Cadres Chengping, except for the capital and the border areas, the military readiness situation is quite good, and everything else has been more or less deserted; although there is no problem in mobilizing a million-strong army, it will be difficult to achieve excellent equipment for a while and a half. ”

"Besides, this war itself happened suddenly, and Your Majesty and the princes of the court were not prepared. The Mongols took the lead in proposing peace, and most of the princes of the court would agree, and His Majesty, as a Ming monarch, would probably agree after weighing the pros and cons. ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, his face was a little uncertain, and he spoke after a while: "Alas, it's a pity, I still want to have a good competition with the Mongols." Since this time, I don't know when I will be able to fight the Mongols again, and the old man is afraid that he will not have a chance in this life. ”

Wu Yong listened, nodded and then spoke: "Yes, you are younger than the old man, I'm afraid you can still see my big dry cavalry out of the race, and the old man is in this life, I'm afraid he won't see my big dry cavalry out of the jam!" ”

"It's a pity, I was born at the wrong time! The old man joined the Daqian army in his teens in his life, fought with the Jin people, fought with the Mongolian people, and fought on the battlefield for decades in his life, and was used to seeing blood on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud. ”

"The old man's life can be described as a life soaked in blood, and once he succeeds, his bones will wither, and the old man has seen too much life and death."

"It's a pity, I'm old, I'm just about to usher in the era of rampant martial arts, but I'm old, I'm afraid that this time the old man will lead the troops to the last time in this life."

And he said to the generals below: "What about you, the future will be your time!" ”

But the people below were all pale and did not speak.

"Well, you don't want to listen to these old people's nagging."

"I'll make a long story short, I'm afraid this war is coming to an end, and after it's over, Your Majesty is afraid that the whole country will be reorganized, and this is precisely related to your future, and you follow Ben General to go on an expedition, without merit and hard work."

"Ben doesn't want you to be in the wrong place."

"The general knows that these days, there are a lot of gossip and rumors in the army, saying that His Majesty is not in the right position. But what I am going to say is that as a soldier, you should not participate too much in politics, although politics is inseparable from the army, but as a senior general of the army, you must grasp that degree, which is also a veteran soldier's heartfelt warning to you young people. ”

"Ben Jiang said it bluntly, the army should have the army's Chun Hao, from today on, Ben General doesn't want to hear similar rumors in the army that are unfavorable to His Majesty, you go down and straighten out, do you understand?"

"Whoa!" More than a dozen generals stood up in unison and said with serious faces.

"Go down!" Wu Yong spoke again.

More than a dozen generals retreated together, leaving only Wu Yong and Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu said with a worried face: "General, why do you bother? For the sake of such a few pawns, you will be suspected by Your Majesty. ”

It turned out that Zhang Yu and Wu Yong had been old friends for many years, and Zhang Yu served under Wu Yong at the beginning, and participated in the Mongolian-Qianqian War together decades ago, and Zhang Yu was able to serve as the general of Shanhaiguan thanks to Wu Yong's advice.

So today, Wu Yong and Zhang Yu came to such a coordinated drama, in order to stop the rumors that have become increasingly popular in the army in the past few days.

Wu Yong listened, sighed, and then spoke: "Alas, I know this. I'm not doing this for the sake of those little pawns, it's because I vaguely feel that sooner or later Your Majesty will clean up the entire army officer level, but we cooperate with the cleanup and Your Majesty is angry and clean up, these are two different situations, so I have to immediately stop this rumor that I suddenly became in the army. Besides, it's not good for rumors to appear in the army, and I'm also doing this for the sake of Shanhaiguan's nearly 200,000 troops. ”

Zhang Yu listened and said, "In that case, wouldn't it be good to arrest them and hand them over to Your Majesty?" Moreover, you said that Your Majesty will clean up the officer layer, this is impossible, right? Zhang Yu was still a little skeptical.

Wu Yong listened, and after a while, he spoke: "After all, they are all members of the Great Cadre Army, and I can't arrest them because of suspicion." This is a violation of military discipline. And arresting them at this juncture will affect the morale of the army, and it is not good that they are still on the front line. Besides, many of them are also deceived by others, and they are still quite talented, so give them a chance if they can give them a chance, after all, they are still young, and they just hope that they can understand current affairs. ”

"It's just that I said that Your Majesty will clean up the entire officer layer. You don't know how big Your Majesty's heart is, and Your Majesty's heart is far from being something I can guess. ”

"In my opinion, our majesty is indeed a man of great talent, his heart is higher than the sky, and his will is firm, I am afraid that I am a rare good emperor in my dynasty. I'm afraid that the warriors of my dynasty are about to take off. ”

"And such a majesty will tolerate the voice of the army below to disobey him, this is impossible, once it appears, he will definitely purge the entire officer class."

"And you don't know, I just received news yesterday that His Majesty has reorganized the Praetorian Guard, renamed the Yulin Army, and also established the Yulin Military Academy, and considers himself the principal. I think this is because he wants to rebuild a set of military systems to replace the old military system. ”

"Anyway, it's going to be cleaned up sooner or later, it's all the same."

"What I'm thinking about now is how to perfectly integrate the old system with His Majesty's newly built system, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts of the military predecessors of the Great Cadre for more than 300 years. As for the rest, it's all subsections. ”

"Moreover, I am old, and if I can contribute to my efforts in the last days of my life, I will die without regrets!"

Zhang Yu listened, nodded silently, and still said: "Okay, since the general has made a decision, so be it!" ”

"It's a pity that we are all old, I'm afraid it's difficult to witness the best era of the Great Qianwu people!"

……

And at this time, the Mongol battalion.

Kublai Khan was a little worried at this time, he didn't know whether Bochi's trip would be successful, although he still had a great deal of confidence in his heart, but it didn't work out, and there was always a concern in his heart.

Facing the afterglow of the sunset, Kublai Khan looked at the Shanhaiguan that was being rebuilt, and was stunned, the land of the Central Plains is good, it has only been a few days, the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was almost destroyed, has been almost restored, if only Mongolia could occupy the Central Plains. It's just that after this time, I don't know when I will be able to invade the south again.

……

At this time, Zheng Wen was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, but his mind was always calm, and he looked up from time to time at the direction of the room where the Honglu Temple was located.

After all, this is the first major external event he has experienced since he ascended the throne. It's normal for the mind not to belong.

……

And at this time in the hall of Honglu Temple.

Zhao Shan and Bo Chi sat opposite each other around a table, looking at each other, but they didn't say a word. Waiting for the agreement drawn up by professionals.

This agreement, written in both Chinese and Mongolian, is still very complicated, and the professionals on both sides read it again and again, for fear of making mistakes, and made two copies.

Zhao Shan and Bo Chi wrote their names on the four agreements and stamped their official seals, which meant that the agreements came into effect at this moment, and the Mongolian and Qianqian sides each kept two copies, one in Mongolian and one in Chinese.

At this point, the "Qianmeng Peace Agreement" was signed, and the two sides made formal peace!

……

And the signing of this agreement also allowed Zheng Wen's energy to temporarily shift from the military to the Great Qianchao Bureau.

Since Zheng Wen ascended the throne, although the court situation is relatively stable, he still feels that the forces hidden in the dark are constantly making trouble, and what is hidden under the calm court situation is the sword and sword, conspiracy and trickery, so he can't help but be vigilant, too much historical information warns Zheng Wen that how cruel the battle for the throne is, it is simply everything, he must pay enough attention!

Although he was forced to ascend to the throne, he enjoyed the joy of imperial power, and he was no longer the emperor who had just ascended the throne and had nothing but righteousness.

He had already begun to sit on the throne, from the initial trembling and walking on thin ice to the current basic ease of coping, he had already given too much, and he did not want someone to pull him off the throne and cut off his head one day while he was still sleeping in his bed.

And now, he can grasp the general form of the military for the time being, in the eyes of many generals in the military, the one who supports them to expand their armaments and wars and give more military expenses is a good emperor, and obviously Zheng Wen can be regarded as a good emperor in their eyes.

As for the governance of the court, Zheng Wen, the cabinet ministers, found that they were all outstanding people of this era after continuous observation. Zheng Wen still has no absolute cronies and people in high positions in the court, after all, he has been on the throne for too short, and he can't find enough talented and cronies to replace them in a short time, since this is the case, it is better to remain unchanged, it is better to be still, and still let them be in a high position and hold heavy power, this is the best way to deal with the current situation in the court. Zheng Wen thought so.

And what Zheng Wen wants to control most now is public opinion, in addition to military power!
