Chapter 264: Ma Wensheng is very busy

The wait is painful, but it's worth it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After some contact between Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, many courtiers expressed their support for Xie Shen's dismissal.

According to the established trajectory of history, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, should have taken the lead in playing the Son of Heaven, but it turned out to be Xie Shen.

Xie Shen grasped the main line of history, so he would boldly speak out to slack his prestige.

Although he also had a lot of prestige before, it was mostly in terms of talent, and he was indeed very useful before he was promoted to officialdom, but after he really entered the officialdom, he didn't have much benefit.

If you want to be helpful to your career, you must brush up the prestige of loyal ministers and ministers.

Some time ago, the effect of speaking up for Wang Hua was very good, and now all the princes of Gon know that Xie Shen is a malleable talent with ideals and ambitions.

The sentence "If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune" resounded even more in the government and the opposition, and it was deafening.

Even cabinet bigwigs Xie Qian, Xu Pu, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang all followed.

The first letter always has a special meaning and is the most eye-catching, and for a time Xie Shen has become a figure above the cabinet bosses.

However, to Xie Shen's surprise, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, did not play. At first, he thought that it was the butterfly effect that caused him to rob Master Ma's luck, but later he learned that Master Ma was overwhelmed by a war, and where did he have time to take care of this between nobles.

There are two main things that annoy Ma Daren, one is that the little Tatar prince Batu Munke attacked Datong and Xuanfu, and the Ming frontier town was restless.

Speaking of which, this little prince is the fifteenth grandson of Genghis Khan and the heir of the golden family.

Perhaps Batu Munk was really favored by the heavens, and in a very short time he unified the Mongol tribes and eliminated the situation in which the tribes fought and divided each other.

After the little prince unified the various ministries, he once asked for tribute in the first year of Hongzhi and showed favor to the Great Ming.

But wolves are always wild.

After a short exchange of markets, the little prince Batu Munch finally showed his fierce side, and constantly led the Mongolian cavalry to raid the important towns of the Ming border pass.

These Mongolian cavalry did not attack the city, but they would always fight some autumn winds, disturbing the pain of the Ming army and people.

Among them, the Datong and Xuanfu generations were the most harassed. No, this year the little prince led more than 10,000 cavalry to plunder.

In fact, if you open the map, you can see why the little prince mainly plundered these two places.

Datong Mansion and Xuanfu are an overall defense system, with Datong outside and Xuanfu inside, and they are each other's horns.

The setting up of the 14 Wei 3 Institute of the Xingdu Division in Shanxi Province is one purpose - to prevent the Tatars.

In conjunction with this, the Xuanfu Sanwei Wanquan Right Guard, Wanquan Left Guard, and Huai'an Wei were also to guard against the Tatars in the north.

After all, before the Jurchens rose to power at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the threat of the Ming Dynasty came from the north, just like the Central Plains Dynasty of the previous dynasties.

Of course, from the perspective of historical omniscience, the threat posed by the little prince Baturuk to the Ming Dynasty is not as great as the Hongzhi monarch imagined, and Lord Ma is a little too worried.

If it is true that it is a threat, I replied that I led the troops around the Beijing division for a while, which definitely scared Emperor Jiajing into a cold sweat.

Of course, it is impossible for Hongzhi Tianzi and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, to jump out of the circle of history, and naturally it is impossible to be as calm as Xie Shen.

Another thing that bothered Ma Wensheng was the attack on Hami in Turpan.

Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty's control over the Western Regions has been insufficient, and the defense line has been shrinking.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Hamiwei had become the front line in the absolute sense.

Turpan in the west has coveted Hami for a long time, from the sixth year of Hongzhi, its leader A Heima led the crowd to raid Hami several times, causing the Hongzhi Emperor to be angry, once ordered to close the Jiayu Pass, and refused to allow the tribute envoys from Turpan to enter the Ming Dynasty.

This is a big event in the absolute sense, it stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty and Turpan severed diplomatic relations, and it should be Turpan that really can't bear it.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is rich in resources and products, and there is no shortage of things in Turpan.

Turpan is a place with a lot of sesame seeds, and once the trade is interrupted, if you want to survive, you can really only rely on grabbing.

But this Ah Hei Ma is a typical one who remembers eating and not remembering, and is still secretly doing some small actions. This time, it was a night raid on Hami, plundering some Han populations.

If Xie Shen is not mistaken, the reaction of the imperial court this time was very positive, and directly ordered Xu Jin, the governor of Gansu, and Liu Ning, the general soldier, to join forces with the local Hami Guards to counterattack, and achieved a victory of certain significance.

The reason why I say this is in a certain sense is because there is really no record that can be achieved.

According to historical records, it is "beheading dozens of thieves." ”

Of course, there is also an empty Hami city.

Xie Shen believes that this is a problem of the deployment of troops in the Ming generation.

In the early and middle periods, the main defense was to prevent the Tatars in Mobei, and in the middle and later periods, they had to allocate their energies to the southeast coast and Liaodong.

And it seems that except for the Hongwu period, the successive kings have hardly spent much effort on opening up the Western Regions.

As a student who has studied the history of the Ming Dynasty for many years, Xie Shen still has a whole set of ideas about the Western Regions, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he wants to give it a try.

However, these must wait until you have absolute authority in your hands, otherwise it is most likely to be the moon in the mirror of the water pavilion.

Master Ma was worried about these two things, so he really didn't have the heart to pay attention to the fight between Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhou Yu, the Bo of Changning.

Xie Shen originally wanted to take a closer look at this famous minister of Hongzhi, but now it seems that he can only find another opportunity.

However, the effect of the sparse has been achieved, not only stepped on the foot of Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, but also brushed up on his prestige, and he has been promoted from a rookie who has just entered the official career to a leader in the word minister, and bluntly said the status of loyal ministers, and if he goes further, I am afraid that he will be able to talk and laugh with Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't want to be so high-profile. When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses, and everything has to be done step by step.

Xie Shen did not receive any additional rewards except for being commended by the Son of Heaven. Xie Shen went to the Hanlin Academy on time every day as usual, and assisted Wang Hua to command the doctors of the Five Classics, the servants, and the canons in the office to compile the "Daming Huidian", while suppressing the self-defeating Zhu Xizhou Zhu.

Enjoy the pleasure in the ordinary, Xie Xiu's life is very comfortable.

But the joy ended on June 16.

Xu Guan, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who had been recuperating in Songjiang Mansion for many days, finally returned to Beijing accompanied by his only daughter Xu Qianqian.

Xie Shen had to comfort himself that his son-in-law always wanted to see his father-in-law.

But what surprised him this time was that there was not only the old man who wanted to see him, but also the mother-in-law......
