Chapter 65 Tonghuai (I)

On February 22, the deputy prefect of the Privy Council of Mengyuan, Pingzhang Taibuhua of Zhongshu Province, led 50,000 forbidden troops and more than 27,000 local soldiers and horses, laid down his arms, and surrendered to the Huai'an Sixth Army, which had only half of his own strength.

More than 40 generals, such as Deputy Wanhu Liu Clams Buhua, Jinan Road Dalu Hua Chi Mi Er, Banyang Road Dalu Hua Chiye Luhu, Yidu Road Daru Hua Chi Baotong, etc., are all happy to follow.

Huang Dexin, the prefect of Jinan, Liu Huanwu, the governor of Jinan Road, Zhang Wenzheng, the county Cheng and other 21 officials, raised fire in the government office. It didn't take too much to put out the fire, and even the fire spread. And in the morning, more than 200 houses and pavilions on both sides of the government were destroyed in the sea of flames. More than 3,600 innocent people were implicated and died.

Shi Fengguo, the commander of the Sixth Army of Huai'an, used the fear of long nights and dreams, and while assigning people to pacify the place, he assigned Xue Xue to go out and lead the 3,000 Mongolian light cavalry that had just surrendered to Changqing. The local soldiers and horses of Changqing were unable to cope with the situation, and were overcome by the snow and snow. Immediately, Xue Xue led the way for Wu Liangmou, led the Fifth Army of the Huai'an Army to attack Liaocheng, and pulled it out.

Liaocheng is broken, Mengyuan is newly promoted to the Privy Council, and Dongping Road Dalu Hua Chihe is closed. As a last resort, according to Jingmen. Both sides of Jingmen are facing the river, and Xu Da carried artillery in a huge boat to bombard the city from the water for a day and night. And in the morning, the walls on the east and west sides collapsed. He replied that he was unable to return to the sky, and after bowing to the north three times, he killed himself in the enemy tower. The soldiers under his command couldn't save him, and they cried and dispersed.

At this point, south of Liaocheng and east of Guanzhou, there is no inch of land owned by Mengyuan. The news spread, and the world shook.

The first to be frightened was the big ** Zhang Zhao Junyong, who with the help of Han Lin'er's secret support, overpowered Sheng Wenyu, and forcibly led his troops to cross the Yellow River from Pukou on February 21 and went straight to Puyang. There was almost no hindrance along the way, and the soldiers and horses arrived in Dongming, and the civil and military officials of Puyang had all fled. However, just when he and Peng Da were happily sitting in the prefect's yamen of Puyang City, discussing whether to continue to advance north and take the opportunity to take the entire Daming Road. But he heard that Dongchang was conquered by Xu Da, Heda was killed in battle, and Da Buhua led the people to surrender.

Zhao Jun fell to the ground with the folding fan in his hand, and after a while, he packed up his soldiers and horses with a gloomy face, turned around and headed southwest. Three days later, Kehua Prefecture, and five days later, Kexian County, which was further southwest, never moved half a step north.

The second to be affected were Bai Buxin, Li Wu, and Cui De. Encouraged by Zhao Jun's "achievements", the three people who were originally sent by Liu Futong to contain the Yuan army on the north bank suddenly showed great might, and attacked the county one after another. The soldiers who have always been suspicious have been beaten into the main force, so that the pseudo-prince Aiyou Zhili Dala had to send a large number of soldiers and horses from Jizhou to the south, so that he could barely withstand the offensive of the Bianliang Red Turban Army and stabilize the battle line on the Quwo line.

The third person who was affected, of course, was Aiyu Zhilidara. Now that a Red Turban Army has reached the doorstep, Aiyu knows Lidara and Chahan Temur, and there are enough reasons not to rescue Dadu. But the two did not completely forget the righteousness of their son and courtier, and after discussion, they gave two copies to Tuhuan Timur. A book of blood and tears, expressing his willingness to accept the commission of his father and the emperor to re-instate the country as the crown prince. Following the old example of the Tang Dynasty Tianbao period, he reorganized his army in Jining in order to recover the Dayuan rivers and mountains in the future.

The other book is based on reason. bluntly said that Dadu Road to the south and east is a flat river, and without more than 500,000 troops, it is impossible to stop the front of the Huai'an army. Jining, Datong, Liaozhou and other places are sandwiched between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River. In the past, Tang Gaozu relied on this feng shui treasure land to fly into the sky. If His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor is really not sure of defeating Zhu Chongjiu, he may wish to go to Jining for the time being. The father and son joined forces, relying on the dangerous terrain of Jining and Datong, as well as the support from the two major provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu, to put Zhu Tuhu east of Taihang Mountain. Leave enough strength for the future!

These two pieces of the Starry Night were sent to the palace along the official road that had fallen into disrepair for a long time. After reading it in person, Timur sat down in the dragon chair and did not say a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty, do you want to summon the prime minister and important civil and military ministers to the palace for discussion?" Gao Wen, the chief eunuch who had been newly promoted for a few days, was soft-hearted, and he was afraid that Tuhuan Timur would be suffocated all the time and suffocate his body. Leaned forward and cautiously probed.

"That's it, you can send it to me. Prime Minister and Li Shumi, I'm afraid they've seen it a long time ago! Tuhuan Timur smiled reluctantly, sighed and shook his head.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the prince's method of loving Lidara and Chakhan Timur was the safest choice. Although after going to Jining, the emperor himself will definitely be elevated as the emperor immediately, and from then on, the decree cannot go out of the palace wall for half a step. However, at least a small half of the Great Yuan Dynasty's capable soldiers can not be wasted, and with Shaanxi, Gansu, Lingbei and a small half of Zhongshu Province, the Great Yuan Dynasty still has hope to make a comeback.

However, he was unable to accede to the demands of the crown prince and Chakhan Timur. Even if it is superficial and false, there is no possibility. Since Cui Chengshou, the chief eunuch of the eunuch, was beaten to death by Li Siqi on the Jinluan Palace on the day of the fight, he, the emperor, has been completely set aside by the courtiers. Not only does any external decision have to be made through the consent of Dingzhu, He Weiwei, Wang Jianu, Yue Kuocha'er and Li Siqi, even if they are in the harem, they can't completely make their own decisions.

All the palace maids who were recruited from the people in the name of choosing concubines for him to practice the secret method of performing Die'er were taken out of the palace by Li Siqi and distributed to the generals at all levels of the Baoyi Army. All the lamas were captured by the cowardly Xue led by He Wei's father and son, quietly executed and incinerated, and then sprinkled their ashes into the Gaoliang River outside the city. Even the eunuchs in the palace were not able to stay out of the matter, and all those who came from Goguryeo or had the bloodline of Dashi were all sent home. Most of the rest were eliminated according to their age and physical strength, leaving only less than two hundred young and strong people from reliable backgrounds, who were responsible for the daily life of him and several queens and princes.

In other words, he has now become a puppet in the hands of Dingzhu, He Weiwei, Li Siqi and others, and can only move according to the other party's wishes. Although the twists and turns of the crown prince and Chakhan Timur can still be successfully sent to him, the emperor, if he dares to show the slightest intention of abdicating, I am afraid that the next person who will die will not be a few eunuchs.

Li Siqi, who has already killed the red-eyed, doesn't care at all about forcing him to "change his past" by letting the prince die one after another. In order not to be beheaded by the crown prince after his accession to the throne, Dingzhu and He could only continue to be in cahoots with Li Siqi.

Unlike Pu Buhua and Cui Chengshou, who used to serve Tuhuan Timur closely, the new chief eunuch Gao Wenguo is not very old, and his political sense of smell is obviously not as good as the first two. Hearing what Timur said bleakly, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Then, does Your Majesty need to discuss with the queen?" She, she has sent a personal palace maid to inquire about your physical condition many times recently! ”

"Queen?" Tuhuan Timur was stunned, and his eyes showed a little dazed. There is only one queen in his heart, that is, the second queen Qi who has abandoned him. I think that when he was demoted to Goryeo and placed under residential surveillance, if it were not for the two of them who were not by the side of Qi Shi and Pu Buhua day and night, Tuhuan Timur might have died in a foreign country long ago. And now, these two childhood companions and adult relatives have betrayed him at the same time, pushing him completely into the abyss.

"Yes, the First Queen! She, in fact, she has always cared about the emperor in her heart. Please forgive the slave for talking too much, in the slave's heart, she is the real queen! The eunuch Gao Wenguo guessed why Tuhuan Timur lost his mind, and added with a little indignation!

This is a real disobedience, if it had been a month ago, even if Timur had not immediately called Timur in and dragged this person out and beaten him to death. will also brush up and put this person into the salary carbon house, and will never use it again for the rest of his life. And now, he listened to the other party's words, but he did not get angry at all. Just curled up in the dragon chair and was silent for a few minutes, and then exhaled a long breath, "Whew——! You're right, Boyan Hudu is my queen and the real Mongol. And Qi's family, he's just a lowly slave! ”

The first empress, Hongjira Boyan Kudu, was his second wife. Before that, he also had a queen named Kipcha Tanashiri, who was also an authentic Mongolian beauty. Regardless of temperament and appearance, it is very kind. However, the relationship between husband and wife of the emperor's family is not as safe as the society after all. Therefore, after the failure of the rebellion of his brother Tang Qishi in Kipchak Tana, Tuhuan Timur did not hesitate to accept the minister's suggestion, deposed her as queen, and gave her a cup of poisoned wine.

Immediately, he wanted to establish the Qi clan as the queen, but the Qi clan was a Korean and his blood was not pure enough. That's why he set up Boyan Hudu for the sake of the country's society. It's just that since the day he got married, he hasn't been "lucky" to each other. And after the death of the son Zhenjin born to Boyan Hudu, the relationship between the husband and wife existed in name only. Although they lived in the same palace and were a hundred and ten paces away from each other, they rarely interacted with each other.

He was too lazy to go over, and Boyan was stubbornly unwilling to wag his tail and beg for mercy. So much so that for decades, he forgot what Boyan Hudu looked like, and desperately recalled in his mind, and only saw the auspicious clothes that were torn by his own hands on the night he just got married.

There was no carcass under that auspicious dress, only two big characters written in thick ink and color, Queen. According to Han Chinese tradition, only the first queen is the queen, and the other queens can only be counted as concubines. Tuhuan Timur was very unwilling, and had been trying hard to find Boyan Hudu's mistakes, so as to find an excuse to abolish her and promote the Qi clan to the right level. However, after the death of her son, Boyan Hudu rarely even came out of her own dormitory, how could he pick out enough bones from the eggs?!

The more he couldn't pick out the bones, the more Tuhuan Timur hated the other party, and he couldn't help the other party choke to death by drinking water one day. But he never expected that when the Qi clan abandoned himself, the ministers of civil and military affairs would treat themselves as puppet fools. Boyan Hudu's gaze quietly fell on him.

Perhaps, she never looked away. From the wedding night until now! It's just that he never cared!
