Spring has arrived in Jiangnan, and the footsteps have faltered.

Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate!

In the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, this year is especially difficult, in the green and yellow season, on the bare grassland, the ice and snow have not yet melted.

Under the dim sky, the sparse flocks of sheep were still looking for the last fodder, and the mountains shook in the distance. Countless knights rode horses and galloped over, and the man herding the sheep was stunned, pulled out his waist knife and froze in place.

A sharp scimitar slashed through his neck, and his face, carved with vicissitudes, rolled to the grass along with his skull.

In the Mongolian steppe, corpses are everywhere today. Without the funding of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, the Jurchens would not be able to survive this spring. The black cannon muzzle of Ningyuan City discouraged them, so they had to hit the Mongols with their ideas.

Genghis Khan, who once dominated Europe and Asia and slaughtered cities everywhere he went, would not have imagined that one day his descendants would be slaughtered like sheep. The Jin Dynasty, which was established by the Jurchens at that time, died under the hooves of the Mongols, and the way of heaven is a good reincarnation!

The Mongols lost their king, and the scattered tribes could not withstand the strong Manchu Eight Banners. The two divisions of Zhuman and Ao Han surrendered successively and declared their allegiance to Huang Taiji. Immediately afterwards, the Karaqin Tribe, which had lost its grasslands and pastures, was annexed, and Huang Taiji sent troops to conquer Har. After that, the Zarut division also surrendered.

Their titular Khan King, Lin Dan Khan, now only the Chahar Ministry is left at his disposal. Although he was regarded as a nominal co-lord by the Monan tribes, Trans-Khalkha in Mobei did not recognize the Mongol Great Khan as a co-master, and Moxi Weirat was still an enemy of the Mongol Empire. Now that the Jurchens have attacked, the Oirats are the happiest and ready to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Desperate, Lin Dan Khan had no choice but to send an envoy to Beijing to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

When the news reached Jinling, Zhu Yousong looked at the Mongols' distress letters, and excitedly said to the ministers: "At the beginning, the Han people were in decline, and the Song Emperor and the Mongols met to fight Jin, and the Han people asked to save the Mongols every time. Now that the situation has been turned upside down, they have turned to us instead, and this is the manifestation of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department and the eunuch Qi claimed to be, but there was no look in their eyes, these people were only responsible for the defense of Jinling, and they were high and low, and they were not enough to conspire.

Shen Muhong took the letter for help, read it carefully, and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to send troops to help them?" ”

"Haha, if it's not my race, its heart will be different. At the beginning, the Jurchens fought with us in Liaodong, and these barbarians did not dare to go to pick the Jurchen's tiger whiskers, but they were in Shaanxi and Gansu every day, taking advantage of the fire to rob. Now that I know for help, let's dream! ”

Shen Muhong said disapprerovingly: "Your Majesty, don't be emotional. What we rely on in Liaodong is Shanhaiguan, if Huang Taiji gets Mongolia, I am afraid that they will bypass Shanhaiguan and go straight to the capital. ”

Zhu Yousong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, of course we can't let them get Mongolia so easily." The people on the southern sea have been frightened by our sailors, and there are countless warships in the sky, and there is no place to use them. Now that Huang Taiji is personally conquering Mongolia, and the rear is empty, a sailor will land, and we will attack their rear from the sea. ”

Shen Muhong's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Yes, if you are unprepared, you will be taken by surprise." This move to encircle Wei and save Zhao is much more clever than fighting with the Eight Banners Manchuria in the grassland. ”

The military situation was urgent, and Zhu Yousong immediately wrote a letter of state, asked Lin Dan Khan to stabilize it, and told him that he was going to stab the rear of the Jurchens. Then he told Zhang Hao to strictly guard the border passes, in case the Mongols and dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, poured into Shaanxi and Gansu, and killed and injured the Han people.

The training of the Jiangnan New Army is still in its infancy, and the government soldiers have already been disbanded, so it is certainly not possible to take a group of recruits who have not yet completed their training to rush to the rear of the Manchus to fight. It was Zhu Yousong who remembered that he gave himself a stone pillar white pole army in Nanyang.

Sending this group of wolf soldiers to the rear of Liaodong, Zhu Yousong can already imagine the miserable picture.

Qin Liangyu was ordered to exterminate the Fu Domain, but he put his strength into it. The results along the way were also good, and when Zhu Yousong became the emperor, she was always afraid that the new court would turn over the old accounts. Although his tribe is brave and fierce, if he wants to compare with the entire Ming Dynasty, it is not enough.

Finally, today the decree has arrived. The Tusi Tusi officials with heads and faces on the stone pillars were all in a worried mood, for fear that the court would punish too much. Who knows, the holy decree turned out to be that in recognition of his contributions in Liaodong a few years ago, Qin Liangyu was crowned as the second-grade lady. Qin Bangping, who died in battle, was the governor of the capital, and his descendants were hereditary. Qin Minping's official entry into the capital of the division. rehabilitated Ma Qiancheng, the husband of Tusi who died unjustly to Qin Liangyu, and investigated the responsibility of the eunuch at that time.

Qin Minping's face was ruddy, and he was extremely excited. He is not afraid of death and is willing to fight, but he needs the least recognition and respect. From this point of view, His Majesty is much stronger than Zhu Youzhen and his brother Zhu Youxiao, who were ousted from the throne.

Immediately followed by the second holy decree, let Qin Liangyu's sister and brother immediately take their troops and horses to Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan to listen to the dispatch.

Qin Liangyu ordered 7,000 soldiers and horses, and recruited 2,000 soldiers, a total of 9,000 people. After traveling under the stars, I rushed to Songjiang Mansion to know that His Majesty the Emperor was also here.

At dawn, there were little eunuchs holding the holy decree and announcing that their sisters and brothers would carry out the palace saint.

When they were in the palace, Zhu Yousong was talking to Wei Chuanlang, the commander of the navy. The little eunuch entered the hall and said in his ear: "General Qin has arrived." ”

Zhu Yousong saw this famous female general for the first time, and said: "Hurry up, please." ”

Qin Liangyu and Qin Minping were both wearing official uniforms, entered the hall, knelt down and bowed, and shouted Sheng'an.

Zhu Yousong hurriedly came down to help them up, and the Qin family sisters and brothers took a closer look, the emperor was really a legendary young man, with beautiful eyebrows, and it must be extraordinary to be able to do such a big thing at such an age.

While they were looking at Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong was also observing them. Sister Qin Liangyu is slightly old, with phoenix eyes, sideburns, and heroic spirit. It can be seen that when she was young, she was a heroic female general like her own Yingying. The younger brother Qin Minping has a resolute face, a high nose and a wide mouth, and he also has the temperament that he has tempered in the southern and northern wars.

"The two of you have worked hard all the way, come here, give you a seat!"

Four little eunuchs carried two chairs into the hall. Qin Liangyu's sister and brother glanced at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes. The emperor not only abandoned his previous suspicions, but also treated him with great courtesy. In the past, as native soldiers, they were often subjected to contempt and insults, and such courtesy was unimaginable.

"Your Majesty is so gracious, our sister and brother don't know how to repay it." Although Qin Minping is a seven-foot man, there is already moisture in his eyes.

Zhu Yousong said secretly, it is good if the status is high. Just be polite, and someone will be moved to go to the soup for you.
