Chapter 410: Oath

"Traitor! Shameless traitor! ”

"How did I have such a shameless person in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, what else are you discussing, Ge Lao, colleagues! Come up with a punishment charter! ”

"Mobilize troops to exterminate the Yong'an Army, it is urgent to do so!!"

"There is no time to wait!"

Everyone in the hall was filled with righteous indignation, and in a few words, Xiao Yi had already been said to be a scum who committed a great crime and brought disaster to the country and the people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, no matter how disdainful he was on this occasion, unless he didn't want to live, Luo Yangxing still didn't dare to show a little funny look, and he looked quite serious on his face, nodding constantly.

"Everyone! Can you listen to the official's words! ”

Wen Tiren came out of the ranks and faced up to the humanity: "Now Xiao can't be provoked, and the Yong'an Army can't be provoked..."

Wen Tiren was ready to say a full stomach and before he could say half a sentence, the official Shangshu immediately came out and reprimanded angrily: "Can't be provoked? I can't provoke Datong, then the Yongan Army has more than 10,000 people at most, and 100,000 officers and troops from all over the country have been mobilized, can it still be destroyed!? ”

Seeing the appearance of this official Shangshu Baht must be compared, Wen Tiren snorted coldly and said loudly: "Mobilize 100,000 officers and soldiers? Where can I transfer an army of 100,000 now, and even if there is, who will lead the troops to level the Yong'an army? ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wen Tiren continued: "The Yong'an Army is not an ordinary soldier and horse, don't provoke without perfect certainty, why don't you follow Xiao Yilai first, and give him an empty name?" ”

Oh, Zhou Yanru, a scholar of Jianji Hall and the first assistant of the current cabinet, said: "What does Wen Shangshu mean?" ”

Politely arched his hand towards Zhou Yanru, and said warmly: "Even if Xiao Yi is shrewd and capable, he is still a vulgar martial artist, martial arts value fame and fortune, and he is so famous, we not only have to give him a Shanxi general soldier, if he is awarded the crown prince Sangu, what should he do?" ”

"Aren't you grateful for the tears and die for me?"

Hearing this, everyone was talking about it, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, frowned and said: "The prince is three orphans, but..."

It's okay for Wang Chengen to have this concern, there is a Ming generation, and the highest living military generals have only sat in the position of the national duke, and almost all of them are replaced by the national duke, and there is not even a hereditary national duke.

As for the king with a different surname, there is no one, even the founding meritorious generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are just posthumously crowned kings.

When Yongle was martyred, Zhang Yu and others made great contributions, Zhang Yu even died for Jingjing, and Emperor Yongle specially rewarded his wife Xiaoda.

Even so, it was only for Zhang Yu's sister-in-law Zhang Fu to be promoted from earl to earl, and only then did he get a substitute duke.

Starting from Yongle, there are fewer and fewer generals who can be awarded the title of marquis, although Shi Heng and others got the marquis because of the great opportunity, but there is no need to mention the end.

The Ming generation is different from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, but it is difficult to obtain any title, and it is even more difficult for military generals.

However, in this way, there is naturally a corresponding way to win over, that is, the three princes, three divisions and three orphans, which have all become fictitious positions since the beginning of the Hongwu year, and now they have become a method for the imperial court to win over military generals.

Although it is also difficult to obtain, there are many people who have obtained it now.

As for the inferior prince's three divisions, prince's three orphans, etc., there were many in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and now, even the generals in some special areas have the title of the prince and the three orphans, which are no longer worth much in the eyes of civil officials, but military generals have different views from civilian officials, and they are still regarded as an honor.

Therefore, this Wen Tiren came up with a clever idea to fool Xiao Yi with the title of the prince and the third orphan.

Not to mention, after listening to Wen Tiren's words, not only the cabinet ministers present nodded again and again, but even Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, felt that this method was feasible.

According to their understanding, Xiao Yi, a vulgar martial artist who has risen from the bottom, although he is a good hand at training soldiers to fight, but he is generally blind to these three princes and three divisions, and they can even use this to fool Xiao Yi, so that Xiao Yi will be grateful, and after doing his best for Daming, he will try to exterminate it, which can be described as a multi-pronged victory.

Wang Chengen was still a little hesitant and said, "This... This method is not bad, but Xiao Ye has been promoted repeatedly over the years, and now he is giving the prince three orphans, I am afraid that the world will not accept it. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yang said: "My princess, you don't want to be dissatisfied with the world, isn't the main thing to discuss now is how to solve that Xiao Yi, I can see this method." ”

Wang Chengen glanced at Luo Yangxing, then glanced at Zhou Yanru, who closed his eyes and pondered, and asked, "Elder Ge, what do you see?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yanru, although Zhou Yanru was very much in favor of this method, but as the head of the cabinet, he couldn't eagerly agree, even if he agreed in his heart, he had to think twice before he could speak.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yanru looked at Wang Chengen and said slowly: "This method is feasible, I think that Xiao Yi will happily lead the army south after hearing it." ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Wang Chengen said: "Then everyone will disperse first, and our family will tell the Holy Lord about the results of this discussion, and let the Holy Lord decide." ”

On the one hand, Chongzhen agreed with this method, but on the other hand, he was unwilling, so he could only vent his anger on the palace maid and eunuch.

According to the eunuchs in the palace that day, Emperor Chongzhen was particularly prone to anger that day, and as long as he was careless, he would be scolded, which made the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace panic.

However, no matter how reluctant he was, Emperor Chongzhen's final decision was still the same.

On the second day, a eunuch and several Jingshi Tiqi rode from Jingshi with the holy decree in hand, and with extreme reluctance on their faces, they went straight to Dashikou.

......

About six days later, that is, on the 18th day of December in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the eunuch and the Jingshi Tiqi who delivered the holy decree finally came to the front of the Dashigu Pass.

From a distance, they only saw that in addition to the banner of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a banner with the word 'Xiao' fluttering on the city, and the two flags were standing sergeants.

Xiao Yi seems to have calculated the day, and the day before, he had already ordered the soldiers of the ninth battalion of the Yong'an Army to sort out their clothes and armor, and when the Jingshi Tiqi arrived at Dashigu Pass at noon on the 17th, the Yong'an Army had already gathered densely outside the pass, waiting for Xiao Yi's order.

Standing on the city, the father-in-law of the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Beijing Division and the few Jingshi Ti Cavalry trembled in fright.

"Could it be... Could it be that this Xiao Yi had expected that he would arrive today? ”

Looking at the Yong'an army soldiers who were strictly lined up under the city, the father-in-law of the imperial horse supervisor couldn't open his eyes because of the sunlight reflected by the ironclad steel gun and the heavy sword.

With a little rejoicing, the father-in-law trembled and unfolded the holy decree, and his voice trembled a little.

On December 17, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Xiao Yisheng, the chief military officer of Datong Town, was promoted to the chief military officer of Shanxi Province and the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and was awarded the crown prince Taibao, who was in charge of the sergeants, guards, food and equipment, and inspection of all matters in Shanxi Province.

......

"Chen Xiao also took the order!"

As Xiao Yi took over the holy decree, the shouts of the Yong'an army under the city suddenly sounded, and this loud roar went straight into the sky, making the few people who came from Jingshi tremble like chaff.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!!"

With Xiao Yi's order, the soldiers of the ninth battalion of the Yong'an Army galloped down from the Dashigu Pass, and the rumbling footsteps once again stepped into the boundary of Shanxi, and the fluttering Yong'an Army flag entered the territory of Shanxi Province and went straight to Taiyuan Fucheng.
