Six-zero-six gifts

The next battle of Fusang, it is not worth mentioning at all, if you can still lose the fight with those Ashigaru farmers with bamboo guns, Wu Yijun will not have to live, all jump into the sea!

Next, it is the expedition to the north.

The first battle is to defend and defend the city.

The second battle town is far away, or defending the city.

After that, the first expedition to the north and the sweep of the Haixi Jurchens were out-and-out sneak attacks.

A fire burned the old camp of Fuyuwei to ashes, which was also a sneak attack.

As for the separatist forces in the territory of the pacification that followed, they were infiltrated, flowered internally, and secretly attacked.

The second expedition to the north, the battle of the White Eagle Gorge, defeated the female Allah forces in front of them, and directly established the subsequent great victory and absolute initiative, but it was still a sneak attack.

Speaking of which, most of the previous battles of Wu Yijun were defending the city and sneak attacking, and as the side defending the city and the party that took the initiative to sneak attack, Wu Yijun undoubtedly took a great advantage.

Of course, these opportunities were not obtained by Lian Zining out of thin air, but he relied on his own strategy to set up a big killing game step by step!

Strategy is obviously also part of the overall strength, but it should be called soft power.

This cannot hide that Wu Yijun still has a considerable degree of flaws in hard power, at least not as strong as it appears.

is like the great enemy in the northeast, now it is of course the Jin country that has been almost crippled and abolished by Lian Zining, if Lian Zining does not defend the city, does not sneak attack, and sets up a field battle against each other, let alone fight under the Khan's court, even if it is a Haixi Jurchen, he may not be able to fight.

Of course, the facts are already facts, and it is an absolute fool to have a cheap and not take advantage of a 'benevolent and righteous teacher' like Song Xianggong, but after all, there is not always a advantage to take advantage of, and there is a strong city that you can stick to.

In this way, it seems that there is only one hard-fought battle - the narrow road encounter with the white-robed army on Renqiu Road, and in that battle, Wu Yijun also took advantage of knowing each other and others not knowing themselves. The white-robed army didn't know Wu Yijun's weaponry, fighting style, etc., and they didn't even know that they had muskets, while Wu Yijun already knew a lot of information about the white-robed army in advance.

The two sides can also be said to be unequal.

The current Wu Yi Army seems to be strong enough, but if Lian Zining has any idea of rebellion at this time, he is guaranteed to die a miserable death - since he wants to rebel, he can't shrink into his lair and stick to it, he has to attack the city, and he has to go south. It means that you have to engage in a field battle with other troops, or even a siege of the city, and the advantages of the two sides have basically been offset in the field battle, and the siege - that is the meat grinder-like battle that Lian Zining is most unwilling to!

In this way, if there is no strong city to defend, the logistics line will be stretched very long, the soldiers will not be able to rest, they will be extremely tired, and they will be charged with rebellion, and they will be regarded as rebellious ministers and thieves by the people of the world!

The time and place are favorable, and they are not there.

Not to mention that it has hit the capital, whether it can enter the Shanhaiguan Pass and Lian Zining feels very hanging, the hundreds of thousands of Beijing battalions in the capital and the army of the 26th Guards don't even need to be used, just Jizhen and Liaodong add up to more than 300,000 troops, which is enough for Lian Zining to drink a pot, not to mention that the officers and soldiers of the border town of Xuanfu Datong are not far away.

In fact, there are definitely a lot of such cases in Chinese history, and the one who would rather be with friends than with domestic slaves is not a qualitative case? Lian Zining can conclude that once he starts an incident, the fighting on the side of Annan and Hami will definitely stop, and the army will rush back to his side. Even hundreds of guards scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty will send elite soldiers to encircle and suppress. …,

And on the contrary, it is just that his base is thousands of miles away from the capital! For Wu Yijun, most of whom were foot soldiers, this journey of more than 5,000 miles was not very wonderful, and even the march would take several months to arrive. What's more, it's not a journey, it's a journey!

Those who can defeat a country with the power of one place and can win through the ages, but the Emperor Yongle is only one person! Moreover, Beijing is only more than 2,000 miles away from Nanjing, and most of the middle is a large plain, so there is no danger to defend. The soldiers of Emperor Yongle were mostly cavalry.

Now is not the right time!

It gave him a nasty sense of powerlessness.

"When it comes to the root, it's still two words, strength!"

Lian Zining let out a long breath and stood up, his face indifferent.

Last night's death-lingering scene, now that I think about it, it's like a dream. During the whole process, the two didn't even talk much, only the song and the fierce impact, and the uncontrollable moan. Both of them seemed to be venting their suppressed painful emotions.

Until the end, Lian Zining roared and shot like a note.

Then it was time to clean up the battlefield, and under the care of the traitor Qiu Daxing, Lian Zining went out again without any difficulty.

Although he didn't know that after he left, Amen couldn't cry anymore, but Lian Zining could feel the deep sadness in Kou Baimen's heart.

Himself, how could it not be?

After this side, I don't know when the next time we meet.

However, neither of them is an ordinary person, and since Lian Zining already knows Kou Baimen's intentions, he has changed the focus of his attention from how to take Kou Baimen away to how to make Kou Baimen live a better and safer life.

The palace has never been a place where people can stay in peace and then grow old forever. In which realm do you want to live in peace, either the emperor loves others enough not to provoke you, or you are already the supreme queen, or you are so vicious that everyone is afraid of you. Nothing else. And these three situations are far away from Kou Baimen.

Lian Zining explained to her many of his forces in Beijing, as well as the contact methods of these forces, and once something happened, she could ask reliable people to go out of the palace for help. And also said that Zhang Qiu is about to enter the palace, Zhang Qiu's royal guard with a knife, his status is very detached, he can walk in the inner palace, and he is more or less a care.

That's all there is to it.

Lian Zining lowered his head and quietly looked at the things on the table.

A snow-white silk scarf with blood stains on it.

This is the red of Kou Baimen.

This woman gave him her most precious things, and it was also what she thought she could only do.

Lian Zi cherished it and put it into his arms.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

Lian Zining is a two-story building, similar to an inn-style one, and it can be seen that the building is quite simple and old, and even the floor has some cracks, and when you step on it, it makes a creaking sound. Outside, there is a rather small courtyard facing the street, which is the prosperous area of Beijing.

Here, it is the grain and oil shop that already belongs to a stronghold of Wu Yijun, and it is also in the business of delivering seasonal vegetables to the mansions of major wealthy families.

Facing the street is the storefront, and the courtyard outside is surrounded by many converted warehouses, some of which are equipped with ice to store vegetables purchased from the warm kilns outside the east gate, that is, the out-of-season vegetables of this era. But there are not many types, most of them are gherkins and the like. This thing is not cheap, one or two pieces of silver or two, which is equivalent to one can be exchanged for a hundred catties of rice, and other idlers can't afford to eat it. …,

Lian Zining is on the second floor.

After he left the Luwang Mansion last night, he naturally couldn't just leave the city, so he came here to take refuge.

Wang Posan's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, please see me if there is an urgent report under the mark." ”

"Come in!" Lian Zining sat on the chair and said a little tiredly.

Wang Posan pushed the door in, and Lian Zining said, "Didn't you take it with you in the Zhuangzi outside the city?" Why did you enter the city so early in the morning? ”

"Something important." Wang Po... nodded, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Lian Zining, and said in a low voice: "The news sent last night, I read it under the mark, I didn't dare to slack off, Xingye rushed over, waited outside the city gate for a night, and came in as soon as the door opened." ”

"Oh?" Lian Zining frowned, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "What's the urgency?" ”

"The territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, the White Lotus Sect, is reversed!"

"What?" Lian Zining suddenly stood up.

He took the document and examined it carefully, but it was not written by Niu Vicious, who was trapped in the enemy camp, but the news had already reached MI6 before, and the time of its arrival was only a few days later than the time when Lian Zining set off. And it was because of this news that Niu Evil went to the territory of the general of Liaobei with his own danger, and ended up in the enemy camp. At that time, Li Tie suppressed the news, and wanted to wait until it was clear before telling Lian Zining, but he didn't expect that the bull evil would not return it, but the bad news came like snowflakes, and the back and forth meant that the White Lotus Sect was reversed! The momentum is extremely huge, and the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei is eroded.

"First of all, Amin's army went south to attack the city, forcing Yang Xuezhong to transfer all the troops to the front line, so the inner belly was extremely empty, and the strength of the government reached the weakest point, and at this time, the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation, and suddenly burned the plains, erosive, from the northeast to here, it will take more than ten days, and the news will be sent from the Liaobei General's jurisdiction to Zhenyuan Mansion, I am afraid that it will take five or six days, with the buffer of this time, the White Lotus Sect is probably already extremely powerful, and it is difficult to restrain it!"

The information on the document is not systematic and coherent, in fact, it is also true, the news on it is all obtained by those secret agents, and the east and west are put together, and some are not even related. And Li Tie didn't dare to change the summary without authorization, for fear that he would change or delete one article, which would affect Lian Zining's final judgment.

With Lian Zining's keen judgment, after reading it a few times, he immediately found the main vein in it, and deduced the general situation.

He put down the paperwork, sat on the table and closed his eyes to meditate for a moment, and sneered: "Amin seems to have grown!" occupied Jiahewei, it seems that his power is constantly growing, otherwise, with those remnants of his soldiers back then, even if it is Yang Xuezhong, a waste, it is impossible to be forced to this part! And the White Lotus Sect seems to have colluded with Amin! These rebellious ministers and thieves, for their own selfishness, actually colluded with other races and fell into my great rivers and mountains, which should really be cut by a thousand knives! ”

"It seems that the intelligence is still not good! There are actually quite a few White Lotus Sects in the Northeast, and before this, I really didn't find out. Yes, most of the rebels from all walks of life were from the Ming Sect, and later they also believed in the White Lotus Sect, such as Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and the rest of their troops, all of whom were demoted to untouchables after Taizu became emperor, and many of these people in the Northeast are untouchables who moved over, I am afraid that the White Lotus Sect has been stretching for more than a hundred years, and it has long been deeply rooted. In this way, it is natural to be able to create such a big momentum. ”

Lian Zining groaned in his heart, he suddenly realized a problem, and he was suddenly shocked: "Many of the people under my command are the remnants of the untouchables back then, and they moved from the left area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huai, where it was Zhang Shicheng's territory back then, I'm afraid there are also remnants of the White Lotus!" This matter must be guarded against! But fortunately, only 300,000 people were moved over in the early stage, and after all, they were weak, so they had to be choked first, and future immigrants had to pay more attention to prevention. ”…,

Lian Zining sat down, took out a piece of fine rice paper from the paperweight on the side, dipped it in ink and wrote and drew on it, roughly listed what needed to be done at the moment, and then crossed out those that didn't matter or could be put aside for the time being, and finally left only three articles.

Lian Zining thought for a while, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he beckoned, motioned to Wang Posan to lean over, and ordered: "Wang Posan, you immediately draw up two orders, the first is to order Li Tie to continue to send personnel to infiltrate the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, and you must send the most accurate and current news in time." How many people and horses the White Lotus Sect has, what kind of combat effectiveness, what kind of establishment, and how much territory it occupies, all of these must be sent back one by one, not too much, not too little! Isn't there not enough manpower? Let him transfer some of the manpower from other realms back, the White Lotus Sect is a major event at the moment, and everything else can be put aside! If there is really no one, they will be drawn from the internal spies! Got it? ”

Wang Po nodded heavily: "I understand." ”

"Second command!" Lian Zining paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let Li Tie send people to secretly go deep into the counties of Jiangbei to investigate those untouchables who have just moved over." ”

"Investigate them?" Wang Posan was shocked: "Do you doubt it, my lord?" ”

Lian Zining glanced at him and said lightly: "I always have to guard against it." But you explain to Li Tie, this matter, you must do it secretly, don't cause panic among the people. And you can't raise a big prison like Jinyiwei, the vines raid the house, torture to extract confessions, you must be cautious about taking people, and you have the evidence. Even if there is a suspicion, they should not be tortured, but just imprisoned. ”

Wang Posan also responded.

"Article 3."

Lian Zining was about to say, but suddenly waved his hand and said, "That's it, this is still a little early, but it's not in a hurry, you go down first!" ”

Wang Posan retreated, Lian Zining walked to the window, knocked lightly on the edge of the window, thoughtful.

This third important point is the reaction of the imperial court on this matter.

"How the imperial court reacts, but it can be operated, but it is also a coincidence, I am in the capital at this time, otherwise, it is inevitable that the reaction will still be a little sluggish. And this time, it's a great gift from the White Lotus Sect! If you plan well, I'm afraid you can get a lot of benefits from it! ”

Lian Zining smiled slightly, his smile was full of confidence and domineering. At this time, he suddenly felt that there are indeed benefits in the capital and outside, and if he is outside, he can develop and grow freely, and he will be subject to a lot less fetters, but for the information of the center, it is inevitably a little delayed, especially when Zhenyuan Mansion is still so far away from the capital; In the capital, for the government and government, the generation and influence of the central command and decision-making will naturally become greater, and he can participate in many crucial decisions, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really a man-made sword and I am a fish, and if the emperor is angry, he will kill him.

It's always hard to choose.

———————— Dividing Line————————

The Jin Kingdom and the Khans of the Northeast who came to make a pilgrimage to the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty arrived.

Because the escorted sergeants were all cavalry, and the leaders of the tribes and the envoys of the Jin State were not pampered masters, and besides, there was nothing good to ink on the road, so the speed was not slow, and they arrived at Shanhaiguan on February 15.

The Ming Dynasty also attaches great importance to this time, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been suffering from internal and external troubles over the years, only the original vassal countries have been lost, and there has been no new growth. Only a few small countries in the East China Sea and the South Seas will occasionally come to worship once or twice, and each time the imperial court is a very high-standard reception. …,

Naturally, they cannot be compared with this Hajj.

The Northeast occupies a very special position in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is the direct control area of the Ming Dynasty in the early stage, and the Nuer Gandu Division was established to govern it, but later it was Duoyan Sanwei and the three surnamed Jurchens who × established themselves ×one after another, especially the Jurchens, who were independent of themselves, which made the center extremely angry, and repeatedly raised troops, but after all, they were repeatedly defeated. After that, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry repeatedly went south, invaded the Ming Dynasty, plundered the border people, and killed the soldiers, which became a cancer that caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer from time to time!

hated and angry, but helpless, which can roughly describe Daming's complex feelings for Jurchen.

And this time, the Jurchens were actually subdued by Wu Yibo! Come and make a pilgrimage to the Emperor of the Celestial Empire! It's time to surrender!

This is almost a glorious event that can be recorded in the temple, and it can be regarded as a huge achievement that the emperor has made during his reign, and Zhengde naturally attaches great importance to it. This is not only the light on the face of His Majesty the Emperor, but also the brilliance of the entire imperial court.

This time, the person responsible for receiving these envoys is mainly the King of Fu, and Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the deputy envoy, and the main person responsible for handling it is Su Jimo, the Qing of Honglu Temple, which is one of the five temples in the center of the Ming Dynasty, and is in charge of court meetings, guests, and auspicious ceremonies. All national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, feasts, canonizations, calendars, springs, transmissions, performances, and other things. Foreign officials make pilgrimages, all the fans pay tribute, and the husbands and hundreds of officials and ministers return to their lives, thank you, if you see those who resign, and Honglu plays. New Year's Day, Shangyuan, Chongwu, and Chongjiu all praise the hundred officials.

Under Su Jimo, there was a rather large organization composed of various departments of the Ministry of Rites and officials under the Honglu Temple, who would be responsible for the clothing, food, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, lazing, amusement and entertainment of this envoy group during their stay in the capital, and all the affairs such as the pilgrimage to the emperor and the etiquette in front of the palace.

To put it bluntly, it is to ensure that nothing happens, let them come safely and go safely.

King Fu is also a good worker, after receiving the holy decree and taking charge of the errand, he immediately issued several orders one after another, since the envoys arrived in Liaodong Town, they were received very warmly everywhere they went, and the messengers about where they traveled were one after another.

When they arrived at Shanhaiguan, the governor of Jizhen even sent a special team of cavalry to escort them, and on February 16, the envoys stayed in Sanhe.

It is only fifty miles away from the capital.

It is also interesting to say that the emperor is leaving Yue at this time, and Liyue is in the south of Yanshan, not far from Changping Prefecture and Yanqing Weiju Yongguan, and if you want to see the emperor, you have to go there. But out of courtesy, he still had to go to the capital first, and then go to Liyue.

It's a little more complicated.

Ten miles east of the capital, on the side of the official road, there is already a huge team waiting.

There are thousands of people in this team, most of them are soldiers of the forbidden army who are wearing armor and look mighty, and there are hundreds of people, who are generals of Jinyi Wei Dahan, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are honor guards carrying big flags and carrying various flags. At a glance, the banner is displayed, the yellow guard of honor is boundless, extremely majestic and magnificent, and a royal demeanor.

Everyone stood quietly, very quietly.

At the front of the team, a very small color shed was built to cover the cold wind, and there were constantly reports of the exploration horses coming from far away from the east and making loud announcements in front of the color shed.

This team was naturally sent by the Ming court to welcome the envoys.

Just an envoy of the Jin Kingdom, naturally he doesn't have this treatment, but the problem is that there are dozens of Khan kings north of the Songhua River and in the far north! Okay, what a big name, in the minds of Ming officials, can be called a khan or a king, how can it be a large or small country, in this way, it can almost be declared to the outside world, dozens of kings have come to see my Ming Emperor!

What a glory is this?

Although the shed was only temporary, it was also very luxurious, covered with fine carpets imported from Persia, tables and chairs were of fine sour wood, covered with brocade, and there were many people standing and waiting, but only three were sitting.

Sitting on the right side of the hand is Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and sitting opposite him is Su Jimo, the Qing of Honglu Temple, and the one sitting on the main seat in the middle is a young man about thirty years old (the previous one is wrong, King Lu should be thirty-five years old, forgive me, forgive me.) ), wearing a python robe, wearing a crown of loyalty and tranquility, his demeanor is very majestic.

This young man is none other than Zhu Zaiyu, the blessed king. (To be continued.)
