But Gan's wishful thinking was wrong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He fled from Dongcheng and wanted to make his way north through the Tatar-controlled pastures and return to Turpan from the Bal Sea.

However, when he arrived at the Tatar-controlled pastures with more than 500 cavalry, he found the Tatar tribes camping and grazing here.

Rao is a desperate captive and does not dare to take such a big risk to break in.

The Turpan and Tatars are feuding, and they have fought several times over the water source of the pasture. If he did not want his head to be cut off and hung on a wooden pole outside the Tatar felt tent, he had to obediently turn his horse's head and flee to the west.

In fact, that's what he did.

Although this comes at the cost of a long detour, at least it will not be minced by the Tatars.

Gan Porphy smoothly walked all the way through the desert to the Black Wind River.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the gate was closed.

He shouted at the door, but he was met with a rain of arrows.

The arrows were woven into a net and sprinkled all over the world.

Gan was unable to dodge and was shot through his left eye by an arrow, killing him instantly.

The rest of his entourage were also shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows.

When the five hundred Turpanites became corpses, Luo Yongcai ordered someone to open the gate of the village.

The soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward to harvest the heads, and then skillfully threw the heads into the sacks.

These heads would be brought back to the sandbank, where they would be registered by the scribe and written into the good news and presented to the Imperial Palace.

If there is no accident, every soldier who attacked Heifeng River this time will be rewarded, and the garrison Luo Yong has the opportunity to be promoted to the deputy commander of Gansu Town.

Luo Yong left a thousand men to garrison the Black Wind River, and the rest were brought back to Hami City.

At this time, the battle of Hami City had long ended, and the Turpan soldiers in the city were either killed or captured, and they had lost the ability to resist.

When the chief soldier Han Li saw Luo Yong come back, he knew that the fleeing Turpan general Gan Poryu had been killed, and he was in a very good mood.

"Haha, this time Luo Shoubei should be a big merit!"

Luo Yong's face turned red and said: "General Han's words are serious, they are all arranged by General Han, and the last general is just acting on orders, what is the merit?" ”

Han Li waved his hand and said: "Merit is meritorious, this general is a person with clear rewards and punishments, how can he not be rewarded for merit?" If this spreads, won't people poke at the backbone of General Ben and scold me for being greedy for the military exploits of my subordinates?

"Uh, hahaha. That's what the general said. ”

Luo Yong was not a scheming person, so he immediately smiled with relief.

Not only did Hami City recapture, but even the Black Wind River was taken down.

In this way, even if the Turpan people want to attack Hami City again, they must first conquer the Heifeng River, leaving enough time for the Ming garrison to prepare.

Ichibu gathered in the royal palace in the city to drink and celebrate.

For Han Li, this was the most important victory in his life. After this battle, he became famous in the first battle, and his status in the general army of Zhuzhen improved a lot, and most importantly, he will be remembered by His Majesty the Emperor.

The next thing to do is to welcome the loyal king Baiyalang, who had fled to the sandbank, back to Hami City and become his puppet lord.

Of course, this may require some work, but this is not Han Li's main consideration. For him, it is imperative to quickly write a good news and lead the troops back to Gansu Town.

Luo Yong was definitely going to stay as a guard on the sandbank, and it was natural that he should leave the matter of persuading the king to be loyal to him.

......

......

A month later, it was the time when it was warm and cold.

Compared with the peach and willow green in the south of the Yangtze River, Jingshi still looks a little depressed at the moment.

Without Qingcui, it makes people feel a little chilled, especially when the cold wind blows, and the neck trembles.

In the leopard room, Emperor Zhengde was bathing in a wooden barrel under the service of two palace maids.

Under the steam, he half-squinted his eyes and looked fixedly at the map of Hami hanging on the wall not far away.

It is such a small place, but it has been taken away by the Turpan people several times. This is definitely an extremely humiliating thing in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

Hopefully there won't be any more surprises this time.

Just when he sighed, Zhang Yong outside the hall said respectfully: "Emperor Qiqi, there is good news from the northwest." ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard the word good news, his eyes lit up.

He almost got up from the barrel, but the thought of being naked made him cough and said, "Come in." ”

Zhang Yong cautiously pushed open the door and crept in.

"Your Majesty, this is good news from the northwest. The General Envoy was sent directly to the Celebrant Supervisor. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Read it." ”

Zhang Yong pursed his lips, then opened the recital and read it aloud.

The more Zhu Houzhao listened, the more excited he became, and when he heard that Hami City and Heifengchuan had been recaptured, Zhu Houzhao excitedly smashed his fist into the water, and the splashed water droplets scattered all over the palace maid.

"Yes, yes. It seems that I didn't look at the wrong person, and Yang Yiqing didn't disappoint me. ”

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What is the name of this chief soldier?" ”

Although the chief soldier is already an absolute official, it is nothing to Zhu Houzhao. There are so many total soldiers, how can he remember them all. That is, Yang Yiqing, Yang Ting and such a governor have a place in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, the one who reported the good news was Han Li, the chief soldier of Gansu Town."

Zhang Yong replied respectfully.

"Well, this Han Li is very good."

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said: "I will reward him with a thousand silk horses and a hundred taels of gold, and give him the title of Su Ningbo." ”

The reward of gold and silver cloth is nothing, but the title must be coveted by Han Li.

The military generals of the Ming Dynasty were in the limelight for a while except for the founding of the country, and they were completely reduced to embroidered pillows since Xuanying. Even if there are knights, they are eating and waiting for death, and there is nothing to speak of.

As for an officer like Han Li who struggled from the bottom, it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to obtain a knighthood.

This time, Emperor Zhengde was an extra favor.

"The rest of the garrison, thousands of households, and soldiers will also be rewarded one by one according to the size of their merits."

Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, and said with a big hand and a smile.

"As for Yang Yiqing, I really don't know what to reward. Zhang Yong, you can talk about it. ”

Although Yang Yiqing did not directly participate in the war with Turpan, he was the governor of the rear, and the preparation of grain and grass was his credit. In addition, Han Li was recommended by him to lead troops to Hami, saying that he had merit and could not find fault.

But as Zhu Houzhao said, Yang Yiqing is already in a high position, and there is no way to rise.

"National political affairs, slaves and maids dare not speak falsely."

Zhang Yong is a thief and avoids talking about it.

"But the slave maid thinks that Your Majesty can ask Xiao Ge Lao, maybe Xiao Ge Lao has insight into this matter."

That's right! Why didn't he think of it!

Zhu Houzhao patted his head and ordered: "You go to Mr. Xuan to come to the leopard room, I want to ask Mr. How to reward this Yang Yiqing." ”

......

......

When Xie Shen came to the leopard room, he was very emotional.

He didn't expect to be able to recover Hami City in such a short period of time.

This is of course a great thing, but at the same time, it means that the plan to ask the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan to donate money for the right to open the factory will be implemented.

Of course, the first thing that needs to be done at the moment is to reward the meritorious soldiers who have recovered Hami.

The Son of Heaven is on the rise, and no one will disturb the interest of the Son of Heaven.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the main hall, Zhu Houzhao said with great interest: "Mr. Hami must have heard about the matter of Hamijiebao, right?" That's a great thing. It's just that I don't know how to reward Yang Qing, so I specially invited Mr. to ask for advice. ”

Xie Shen's heart sank, and he said in his heart, this is a difficult question to answer.

Yang Yiqing is already the governor of the three sides, and he can be described as a very popular minister. If you want to be promoted, I am afraid that you will only be able to enter the cabinet.

But the problem is that the northwest is counting on Yang Yiqing to support him, how can he be transferred back to Beijing?

Ministers, feudal officials, how else can they be promoted?

Xie Shen pondered for a while, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Butang has made outstanding achievements and deserves to be rewarded." However, if His Majesty confers him on a high-ranking official and a knighthood, I am afraid that it will harm him. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xie Shen in a daze, and sighed for a long time before he said, "I'm also worried about this problem." However, if only gold and silver are rewarded, I am afraid that Yang Qing will be wronged. ”

Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, and naturally understands the four words that people are terrible.

Even the Son of Heaven sometimes has to take care of the discussions of the people and courtiers, let alone a feudal official like Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing was directly promoted from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of the three sides, which made countless people envious.

At this time, there must be many people hiding in the shadows, waiting to see Yang Yiqing's jokes.

If Zhu Houzhao awarded Yang Yiqing a high-ranking official at this time, I am afraid that someone will jump out and chew the root of his tongue.

Especially the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, it is really a terrible group, no matter if you are wrong, as long as they feel uncomfortable, they will catch a squirt, which is desperate.

Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, has not been directly admonished by the imperial history. Of course, Zhu Houzhao's response to these trolls was also very direct - the court staff.

It's a little more crude, but it works.

Most of these imperial historians are strong outsiders, who are afraid of the hard.

Except for a few who hoped to establish their prestige with the help of the court staff, most of them were so frightened that their legs weakened and they trembled.

Looking at Yang Yiqing's matter again, it is really difficult to do, because this time the imperial history can "argue with reason", even Zhu Houzhao can't argue with anything.

Do you want him to make a public statement and support the powerful ministers?

This is tantamount to blocking the emperor's mouth.

Although Zhu Houzhao trusts Yang Yiqing, it does not mean that he trusts all the feudal officials.

If all the governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty became arrogant, Zhu Houzhao would definitely be mad.

"There's no way around it. Or...... His Majesty can take a little care of Yang Butang's son. ”

That's a good idea. Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly, which can be regarded as approving Xie Shen's suggestion.

Yang Yiqing is already in a high position, and it is not appropriate to add officials to the knighthood, but his son is still a rookie in officialdom, and he can take care of one or two.

This is also human nature, as long as you don't promote too much, Yushi will not jump out and scold her mother.

After all, everyone is each other, and everyone wants to be able to shade their children and grandchildren and bless future generations.

"This Hami has been taken down, and I can be regarded as a matter of heart."

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment and continued: "I'm afraid the rest will have to wait for Mr. to make arrangements." ”

Xie Shen was silent.

Daming's foundation is still a little thinner, which is due to many reasons.

The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and if you want to cure the disease, you have to take it slowly.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not disappoint Your Majesty."

"Naturally, I belong to Mr. Xin."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "The imperial dining room has just made ice cheese, so come and try it." ”

Xie Shen hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

It is definitely an honor to be rewarded with snacks and snacks by the Son of Heaven, and Xie Shen is naturally very grateful.

Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch, respectfully handed the iced cherry cheese to Xie Shen, who picked up the wooden skewer and scraped it and put it in his mouth.

This taste......

It's like the ice cream of later generations.

Xie Shen couldn't help but feel that the ancients really knew how to play, and they were several levels higher than modern people in terms of eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Sir, how does this ice cream taste?"

Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly.

"Your Majesty, this ice cream melts in your mouth and tastes excellent."

Xie Shen replied truthfully.

"If the gentleman likes it, I will ask someone to send him one every day."

Xie Shen secretly complained in his heart. If you eat too much of something, it won't taste good, not to mention this ice cheese, aren't you afraid of running out of stomach? It's only spring.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it is already the minister's honor to be able to taste one or two, if you let the internal supervisor deliver ice cheese to the minister's mansion, it may cause criticism."

Zhu Houzhao knew that Xie Shen cherished feathers the most, so he no longer insisted on it, and said with a smile: "Then when Mr. wants to eat, just come to the leopard room." ”

Xie Shenxin said, Your Majesty, you just have a snack, why are you still like a child when you are so old?

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhu Houzhao yawned.

Xie Shen gave up his hand and retired, and Zhu Houzhao was so happy to agree.

Xie Shen returned to the cabinet and saw Li Dongyang and Xie Qian talking and laughing to themselves, so he leaned over and quipped: "What makes the two elders so happy?" ”

When Li Dongyang saw Xie Shen coming, he waved his hand and said, "Siming is here, sit." ”

Xie Shen lifted the hem of his robe and sat down beside Li Dongyang, and said with a smile: "Xiya Gong, what is it that makes your old man happy like this?" ”

"Ahem, let's talk about Yu Qiao."

Li Dongyang said while brushing his beard.

Xie Qian laughed and said, "Brother Xiya and the old man are going to get married." ”

Xie Shen was slightly stunned, marriage?

Xie Qian wants his children to marry the Wang family?

I have the impression that Xie Qian's youngest son should be seventeen this year, and he is indeed at the age when he should start a family.

As for Li Dongyang, the old woman naturally has to light a lantern to find a son-in-law.

If it weren't for a high-ranking family like the Xie family, I'm afraid he wouldn't be at ease.

"Then congratulations to the two elders."

Marriage is popular in Ming officialdom, which is a political marriage to put it bluntly.

Isn't Xu Jie also married Yan Song?

Even if you want to break the other party's corpse into pieces, you still have to do enough tricks on your face, and the poor children become victims.

But born in a scholarly family, there is no way to do it in a family of eunuchs.

"Haha, the old man is also a matter of heart, and there are no regrets."

Li Dongyang's words are not pretentious. If the official achieves his position, and a person lives to his age, what else is there to worry about except his children.

The children's lifelong events have been decided, and everything has been put down.
