Seeing that it is about to come out of the first lunar month, at this time of the year, Xuanfu City is always a busy scene, because it is time to prepare for spring ploughing, even the Tartars will not come to Xuanfu at this time to disturb, after all, they are also looking for pasture, and began to graze horses and sheep, and they can't eat enough just by robbing.

This first month of the first year of Zhengde is destined to be an unusual spring, and a news like a flash flood and tsunami hit everyone in Xuanfu City, firmly grasping their hearts, and even such a major event as preparing for spring ploughing was thrown aside, and they couldn't take care of it at all.

Today, Shengshang Weifu patrols the border passes, and is now stationed in Xuanfu City!

Such a more like a joke news would not have been believed, who still doesn't know, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than a hundred years, except for the two monarchs at the time of the founding of the country, who refused to stay comfortably in the comfort nest of the capital, and the only emperor who came out to run around was His Majesty Yingzong.

Since that one, no emperor has ever been out of the capital, even if the emperor is not afraid of being caught by the Tartars or encountering any other accidents, the ministers do not dare to let the Ten Thousand Saints Supreme go out lightly, especially when they go to a border town like Xuanfu, are they not afraid of repeating the old things?

But on the contrary, this news came out from the army, and the news that followed was that His Majesty the Emperor paid a private visit and saw the difficult life of the military households in the border towns, and empathized with the hardships of the military households. I also saw the scene of the bloody battle between the border army and the Tartars, and I felt even more deeply, not only praising the courage of the border army soldiers, but also hating the Tartars for ravaging the people.

The Sacred Heart was very worried, so he ordered the Xuanfu civil and military to thoroughly investigate the arrears and greed for military salaries, and the emperor issued a strict order to see the military salaries distributed to every soldier before the holy car returned to Beijing.

According to the system of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, military households could have cultivated military camps in their spare time without military salaries, and took up arms to go to the battlefield in wartime. But such a Tuntian soldier has very poor combat effectiveness, but Xuanfu is an important town on the border of Gyeonggi, how can he ignore it? Therefore, most of the soldiers in Xuanfu City still have to be paid.

In addition, there is not too much land in Xuanfu Town, and the Tatars invade all year round, so there is even less land that can be safely cultivated, not to mention that the production of the military tun is mostly collected by the generals, if everyone only relies on the tuntian, it is not realistic.

In the early years, it was okay, in recent years, the military salary has been repeatedly arrears, the court heard about this, so it sent a governor, and sent a patrol to investigate thoroughly, but what is disappointing is that after these adults came, not only the original arrears of military pay were not settled, but even the pension began to be in arrears, so the people have been trapped for a long time.

But no one expected that the incident in the border town would alarm the emperor, and the emperor actually came to Xuanfu City in person and sent Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the big case of embezzlement of military salaries.

Originally, there were still people who doubted this news for various reasons, but others could deceive people, but the payment of military salaries could not be faked.

When the real money came down, the whole city was boiling. After all, most of the people in Xuanfu are military households, even if they are not, most of them are somewhat related, everyone has been poor for a long time, and this military salary almost seems to have fallen from the sky, how can it not be pleasantly surprised?

With the cooperation of the generals of Xuanfu City, coupled with the threat of Jinyi Wei steel knife, including the governor and the household yamen, the various yamen of Xuanfu were running at an unprecedented high speed, and the military salaries of all the garrisons in the city were paid within two days.

The city of Xuanfu was plunged into a state of jubilation, and this joyous mood was spreading to the whole border town, and even the garrisons in the many fortresses on the border wall received the news that the holy car had come in person, and that they had sought justice for these small people, and they were all moved, and some wept bitterly, and some even kowtowed to the south.

Originally, the garrisons in these fortresses rarely took the initiative to attack, the Tartars were fast and poor, and they would not get any benefit from rushing into battle, and they would be bitten by the Tartars if they didn't get it right.

In the past, if you cut off the head of the Tartar, even if you can't be promoted by military merits, you can still exchange some rewards, but in recent years, there is no reward, so who is willing to go out and work hard.

The big officials took the silver, hid in the safe Xuanfu City, and opened all kinds of shops, saying that it was not enough to make money, and in the end they had to be greedy for their own military salaries, why should they work hard for them? Even the low-ranking officers in these fortresses have always been a general idea, seeing the Tartar rangers crossing the border, let alone attacking, and even bothering to pass on the warning information.

Let him go, anyway, it's not his own family that is unlucky, he has nothing but this life, his parents, wife and children are starving in the city, who cares what those scattered Tartars are going to do? If you are unlucky, then you will also complain about God's injustice and your own life is not good.

When the news of Xuanfu City came, all the garrisons were in high spirits, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as soaring. It didn't matter if their morale was soaring, it was bad luck for them to come to fight the wild Tartars at this time, and when they routinely passed through the gaps in the fortress, they found that the defenders, who had always ignored them, were attacking from all sides, intercepting and killing them in all directions.

The Tartars were all taken aback, and the people who would come to Xuanfu at this time were all from those tribes that were closer to the Great Wall, just ordinary herdsmen, not some of the king's own soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers is just similar, and the reason why they dare to come is only because it was the case in previous years, they knew that as long as there were not too many people coming, the Ming soldiers would not go out of the fort to intercept and kill.

Seeing that the Ming army was attacking from all sides, the people who came to intercept and kill were all cavalry, and the number was not large, and after being startled, they didn't care about pulling out their weapons to meet them, thinking that if they could defeat these Ming troops, maybe they could go deep into the Xuanfu and grab more things back to the tribe, and the mother-in-law and children at home were hungry.

In the era of cold weapons, when the individual combat strength of soldiers on both sides was similar, morale became a factor in determining the surname. As soon as they handed it over, the Tartars were stunned to find that the Ming army on the opposite side was completely different from the past, all of them were fighting desperately with red eyes, and the previous appearance of cherishing their lives and fearing death was no longer visible at all.

After the Tartars realized this, they were even more stunned to find that they were already survivors, most of their companions had fallen off their horses, and the Ming army did not compete for the head as before, but chased after them murderously, and the remaining Tartars fled north, not even daring to look back, these Ming troops were too terrible...... Our Mongolian warriors are very brave, and they don't hesitate to fight with their lives, but they can't stand the other party is a group of crazy people, so let's run away, Changshengtian won't blame us, after all, the other party is a madman.

In the end, only a few people returned to the tribe in this wave of rangers, and after arriving at the tribe, they were still in shock, and they urged the elders of the tribe to move the tribe north, and those red-eyed Ming troops were so terrible that it was like a different army.

Their worries were justified, if it weren't for the officers in the various fortresses who kept their senses and had red eyes before they killed, the Ming cavalry, which was even more red after the killing, was indeed planning to chase and kill them.

For many years, except for the time when the Tartars entered the Kou in a big way, how could Xuanfu Town have attracted the attention of the imperial court? And the ordinary soldiers and military households in the border towns, these humble existences, let alone join the vision of the imperial court, and regard them as grass mustard is the most appropriate description, and in the end, even these people themselves think so.

Who would have thought that the emperor would come in person, just half a year after he ascended the throne, and he didn't come for anything else, but to see the hardships of the people's livelihood and the hardships of the border towns, and he was more concerned about whether everyone was well fed and clothed!

The emperor also made secret visits, just to kill those corrupt officials like silverfish, even if it is the legendary saints, it is nothing more than that, right? The entire Xuanfu is boiling, and the entire border town is moving!

In the city of Xuanfu, countless people are praying and praising the Holy Son of Heaven for a long and auspicious life; The border wall fortress, countless warriors are waiting for it, fighting bloodily, wanting to use the blood of the Tartars to play an ode to the Holy Son of Heaven; Outside the side wall, countless shepherds were cursing the culprit who suddenly boosted the morale of the Ming army, he made the herdsmen tremble, and even when grazing, they had to look around with trembling, which was only the case for farmers in Xuanfu in the past.

Jun En was deep, and when the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu were thinking about how to repay Jun Grace, another military order came out from the General Military Mansion, although it was an order, but everyone who heard this order was overjoyed and eager to execute it immediately.

The military order said that the emperor would return to Beijing two days later, and the holy oracle said that before the emperor left, he wanted to see the soldiers of Xuanfu, and wanted to see the mighty and majestic division defending the Ming frontier, and awarded medals to the meritorious soldiers!

All in all, it is the emperor's holy decree that is passed down from generation to generation in the General Military Mansion, and the emperor wants to parade the troops and inspect the border troops of Xuanfu City!

The mood of the military and the people of Xuanfu City is even higher, no need for military orders, regardless of the military and civilians, everyone began to prepare their brightest clothes, and the soldiers polished their armor and armor, and the weapons were also maintained repeatedly, so they must let themselves accept the emperor's review with the best attitude, and they can see the emperor, which is how many people have no chance in their lives.

Those who have made all kinds of merits are even more excited, and everyone knows a small news, that is, Hungry Tiger and his subordinates have been selected by the emperor as pro-army and are going to enter Beijing!

There are very few people who are jealous, most people are very excited, the emperor really attaches importance to our border army, who is the hungry tiger? Since the emperor chose him, it proves that the emperor attaches importance to pure military merit, today is a hungry tiger, and in the future, we will have a chance.

This storm swept through Xuanfu Town, and the final effect even shocked the central figure of the storm, listening to Qian Ning's recitation, the folk eulogy collected by Jinyiwei, and looking at the high stacks, the beheading good news reported from the side wall, the actor Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It took him a long time before he raised his head and asked the director Xie Hong: "Big brother, I'm not so good?" ”

Xie Hong was actually very surprised, he was just thinking of creating momentum, and then returning to Beijing with the momentum of public opinion and military morale to counter the possible accusations of the scholars. This method is often used in later generations, especially when those shameless literati whitewash the braid chiefs, Xie Hong just copied them.

It's just that this effect is really beyond his expectations as a director, the people in this era are too simple and too demanding, Xie Hong has never been a superior, and he doesn't know how to deal with the situation he unintentionally created, but fortunately, Zhengde's words reminded him.

Zhengde is just a child now, not a good emperor, but he has the potential to be a good emperor, yes, he is the Ming Dynasty, no, among all the emperors in China, the most potential one.

Xie Hong is not a historian, he doesn't know what the real Ming Wuzong is, but according to his observation during this time, this is a young man who values love and righteousness, and his true surname is love, although he is very playful, and he is not hypocritical and dark enough, let alone decisive, but this is the potential of a Ming Jun.

In the previous life, Zhengde was finally defeated by the scholars, but this time, with his own existence, he will not let the tragedy repeat, so let this second brother become a real Ming Jun with his own assistance, and he is worthy of the support of the Xuanfu military and the people.

Staring at Zhengde, Xie Hong nodded with a serious expression, and said solemnly:

"No, second brother, you are a good person, with me to help you, you will definitely become the first good emperor in the ages."
