Chapter 602: Four Taiji

One. ,

The dynasty drove the Meng Yuan instead. When Xu Da and Chang Yuchun destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the descendants of Genghis Khan were driven back to the vast steppe, and since then the prosperity and richness of the Central Plains have nothing to do with the Mongols, from the princes and nobles, down to the common people, they are struggling in the wind and sand and bitter cold, but they also recalled their wolf nature, and became skillful, cunning and ferocious again, that is the gift of immortality, that is the inheritance of Genghis Khan, once lost in the drunken gold of the Central Plains, and finally in the reckless steppe.

As a result, the previous expeditions of the Ming Dynasty could not eliminate them, and they were harassed by them from time to time. It seriously threatened the rule of the empire, and when it was time to become an ancestor, it spent a lot of money on the Yalu River in the east and Jiayuguan in the west. Vast borders. Set up nine border cities of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, Jizhou, Shanxi, and Guyuan to defend against the attack of the Mongols.

These nine border cities, Feng exchange each other, the guards are interconnected, and they are built into the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and its importance is self-evident, among which the Xuanfu is the most important, because it is the most important peripheral stronghold in the northwest of Beijing. If the Xuanfu is lost, the capital will be left with a barrier at Juyong Pass, and the situation in the capital will be in danger. In fact, as long as the invaders broke through the Xuanfu defense line, it would not be difficult to conquer Juyong Pass.

Therefore, Xuanfu City, which is nominally the outer defense line of Gyeonggi, is actually the last line of defense and the most critical barrier to defend Beijing, so it is called "Xuanfu with nine sides" and "the key to the capital" is the border town that the rulers of the past dynasties paid the most attention to. Its city after more than 100 years of construction, three zhang and five feet high, all are made of rammed earth and blue bricks, the city defense facilities are complete, the city is high and the pool is deep, the weather is majestic, indestructible, Datong to the west of it and even Xi'an can not compare with its scale.

300,000 people live in the city all year round. Among them, there are more than 200,000 military households, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a military fortress with independent combat functions than a city.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Xuanfu that the Mongols do not dare to go deep, even if they attack the capital through the clouds, it is just a bluff. For fear of being sent by the Xuanfu and cutting off the back road, they often leave as soon as they get wet, and the political significance is far greater than the actual gain. Therefore, the Mongol rulers of the past dynasties, whether they were the first little princes or Altan Khan. They all regard Xuanfu as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and they are extremely eager to pull it out! As long as the Xuanfu is taken, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is like a woman who has stripped off her clothes, and she can only be obediently allowed to be ravaged, and it is no longer just a delusion to restore the glory of the ancestors and reoccupy the prosperous place of the capital. However, even if he was as strong as he was, he even captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he never captured Xuanfu."

A stubborn city of Xuanfu has blocked the path of the revival of many Mongol Great Khans, turning their ambitions into permanent resentments, which have been repeated in the ears of generations of heirs, so that they inherit this resentment while inheriting wealth and status. Huang Taiji, in Mongolian language, means "prince, heir, he is the eldest son of the legendary Altan Khan, and naturally has an unimaginable obsession with the word Xuanfu.

So when Yang Shun's envoy found him through Xiao Qin, he was immediately excited, and he even felt the favor of the Immortal Heaven. Make him a great Mongolian khan greater than his father!

When the excitement passed, he calmed down and consulted carefully with his henchmen. found that with the four thousand control strings of his tribe, even if someone cooperated with the outside, he did not dare to rashly challenge the behemoth of Xuanfu, so he had to send someone to contact the Bayue Special Department of the second brother Buyan Taiji, and the Weiwa Shen Department led by the fourth brother Bingtu Taiji; The fifth brother put the Bahrain department led by Lin Ziji, as for the tribes of other brothers and uncles, because the distance was too far, I was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy. There was no notice.

The three "Taiji, who also had a deep grudge against the Xuanfu, arrived with Pegasus as soon as they heard the news, and the four Taiji, in total, could make up 15,000 elite troops, and the Mongolian warriors could fight against ten with one, which was almost enough. The fifth elder Lin Taiji asked: "Do you want to invite Father Khan to take charge?" As a result, he was met with the same white eyes of the three brothers, and Buyantaiji scolded: "If Father Khan comes, then people will only say that Altan Khan has captured Xuanfu City, how can they mention our name?" Yes, this is our feat, and Father Khan is glorious enough. There is no need for Bingtu Taiji, too.

"However, I am afraid that if the loss is too heavy. Father Khan will punish us. "Lin Taiji has always been cautious and fearful.

"Don't worry, this time we used Ji Huang Taiji to comfort him with a smile: "If you don't attack, there will be no losses." ”

"Where will the plan come from?" Lin Taiji was not at ease and asked. Huang Taiji originally wanted to sell a pass, but the other two Taiji were also curious: "Yes, big brother, don't hide it."

He had no choice but to confess: "It was Xiao Guoshi who said it." ”

"What's that trick?"

"I didn't ask Xiao Qinwang how old he was in his forties. He wore a wide white robe with an apricot-colored cloth belt tied around his forehead; tall and thin, with an equally slender face; With a pair of wolf eyes, an eagle nose, and thin, tight lips, he looks like a difficult guy to deal with. He was born in another person, but the wind and frost outside the plug have already cleansed the weak aura on his body, making him look more like one

"Immortal Heaven will always be blessed, Huang Taiji and the three Taiji Xiao Qin bowed down and saluted.

Although he is a Han Chinese, he speaks Mongolian very well. He knows the customs and habits of the Mongols well. He was even very proficient in the history and shamanic teachings of the Golden Family, so the Mongols had a good opinion of him, and the four Taiji were no exception. Huang Taiji nodded at him and smiled, "The patron saint of Bansheng." Lord Xiao, the national teacher of Altan Khan, my four brothers have come here to hear about your miraculous plan

Xiao Qin didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "After several years of operation, I am already in Xuanfu City." Thousands of believers have developed, and one of them has recently become a gatekeeper at the North City Gate. ”

The four Taiji were overjoyed when they heard this: "This is ready to say." We can get into the city without much effort?! ”

Xiao Qin said with a smile: "The Han people have a saying, it is said that planning is in the sky, and I can plan it without leaking, but I also have to pray for the blessing of immortality." ”

"Then it must be no problem, we are the descendants of Genghis Khan, the darling of Immortal Heaven, who will we bless if we don't bless us?. The four Taiji were overjoyed and said: "Xiao Guoshi is going to contact each other, let's order all the people, let's send troops as soon as possible!" Then they were all full of confidence, and they stopped mentioning Lin Taiji to inform their father Khan.

"It's good to say, Xiao Qin smiled and should come down. Out of the account ready to go.

The Mongols are fierce and warlike, and they are the people when they enter and soldiers when they go out, grazing by water and grass in spring and summer every year. breeding livestock; In autumn and winter, when the grass had already been cut and the enclosed animals were fed, it was the business of women and children, and the men spent their days drinking wine, eating meat, riding horses and shooting arrows, looking forward to plundering the treasures and women of the Han people.

When they received the order of the chiefs to mobilize, they immediately took their bows and arrows, mounted their horses, and gathered themselves in their camps to the great tents of their chiefs in the farewell of the women and children. In just two days, the Mongol men scattered within a radius of 100 miles were all concentrated in the central camp and ready to go.

Huang Taiji and his three younger brothers, dressed in the leather armor left by their ancestors, rode on a high slope, looking at the Mongolian warriors under the slope, the four brothers couldn't help but boil with blood. At that moment, all four had the feeling that Genghis Khan was possessed. Feeling invincible and conquering all.

Huang Taiji pulled out his horse and said to the Mongolian cavalry with an eager face on the slope: "Today, we are Taiji of Altan Khan, and we will lead the bravest warriors of the entire steppe to create a history!" After this battle, the rich interior of the Ming Kingdom will allow us to gallop freely, and even the capital of the Ming Kingdom will become the cattle and sheep during our banquet! ”

Heavy panting was heard from below. Seeing a pair of eyes full of **, Huang Taiji secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This word really works." It turned out that his speech was written by Qi Qin. It took a lot of effort from the old nose to teach him to memorize it sentence by sentence.

Who knew that this man could not be complacent, but happy. I forgot the words. In the eager eyes of the people below, Huang Taiji was very embarrassed, but he couldn't remember what he said next, so he had to whisper for help: "Help me take it." ”

Otherwise, you have to kiss brothers to fight tigers, and the three Taiji did not hesitate, one by one: "Rob their money."

"Take their woman!"

"Genghis Khan!"

"Genghis Khan". The crowd shouted.

Huang Taiji saw that it was easy to step down, so he hurriedly said, "Let's go!" The four brothers led more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and roared away in the direction of Xuanfu.

The border troubles of the Ming Dynasty were serious, and three-quarters of the annual treasury revenue had to be invested in the Jiubian Military Town. Although it could not bring a decent victory, it was not useless at all Almost on the day that Huang Taiji led the crowd to set out, the Mongols gathered in large numbers, and the information about the movements was temporarily unknown, and it had been sent to the Xuanfu City, on the desk of the evil general.

General Xing's full name is Xing Yu, and he is the chief military officer of Xuanfu and the seal of General Zhenshuo, so "General." This title is not a false name. At this time, there were 62 total soldiers in the whole country, and only eight of them were stamped as generals. Among them, "Town." The general that starts with the word is higher than the general who starts with the word "Zheng" and "Ping". It is a well-known second-class general. When Governor Yang Shunyang, who was in charge of military affairs, took a break, he became the first military commander.

Xing Yu felt the seriousness of the problem, and took this piece of information and went to the post house, "The Ming Dynasty stationed military affairs with literature." Although Yang Shun is resting vegetables, there are still a few Qin cha! Of course, he had to report first.

When they arrived at the post house, Shen Mo and Zhu Shisan were not there, Zhou Yu and Tu Li were there, and he didn't care who was on which side, so he made the information clear to the two of them.

The two couldn't help but cry bitterly in their hearts: "What are you afraid of" Now Yang Shun is under silent house arrest, and the military and political groups of Xuanfu have no leader, if this leads to an unfavorable war, when the emperor investigates it, the surname Shen will certainly have to carry the big head, but they are both Qincha, and it is impossible to get better.

Zhou Yu asked Evil Jade: "Could it be that you are going to other places, so many places, and you still come to our Xuanfu?"

Tu Li also hugged Yuwei and asked: "Yes, yes, maybe I went to Yunzhong and Yingzhou, and the goal was to loot villages and towns."

"It must be Xuanfu!" Evil Jade said anxiously: "My lord doesn't know, those Mongols are selfish and greedy, if it is just ordinary looting, they will never unite the four tribes!" The only thing that can make them willing to join together is to swallow it alone. "Within a radius of 200 miles, there is only one Xuanfu!"

Seeing that Xing Yu said it categorically, the two couldn't help believing his statement, and asked in unison, "Then what now?" ”

Evil Jade said: "My lord, don't worry too much, I have a full set of countermeasures in Xuanfu City, but without the Governor's central command, it is difficult to coordinate the civil and military" said with a fist and said: "Please also ask Lord Qincha to preside over the overall situation and lead us to actively prepare for war!" ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces turned green, and they both refused: "That's not good, that's not good, we don't understand anything, how can a layman command an insider?" "The attitude is extremely humble, and he resolutely does not carry this black cauldron. Tu Li also smiled and encouraged the evil jade: "I think the evil general is very talented, and you can't command it personally."

The corners of Evil Jade's mouth flashed with a wry smile and said, "I am a Ming Emperor with a martial artist." I'm a military general, and I can't mobilize those civil officials. "He is talking nonsense with his eyes open, the civil officials and military generals in Xuanfu City have long been a group, and the Wen is respected by Chen Futai, and the military is naturally his final say, if there is a military order, no one dares not to listen. But he was very slippery, and he was afraid that he would be defeated and responsible, so he resolutely did not take this head.

Having witnessed the tragedy of the successive governors, the lowly members of the Xuanfu were all armed and believed in a motto: "The acorns that come out are the first to rot,!"

Seeing that the evil jade looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Zhou Tu and the others also pointed to him to lead the troops to defend the city, so naturally they couldn't force it. had to promise to find a leader for Jean, so he persuaded Xing Yu to prepare for the enemy first. "Come on!" After speaking, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, knowing that no one would take responsibility.

"Why don't we catch the castration?" Zhou Yu said: "Who is caught?" ”

Tu Li is a good talker, nodded and said, "Okay, I cut the paper, write the words, and crumple it into a ball for Zhou Xi to grasp." Zhou Yu grabbed one, opened it, and couldn't help but change his face, and said with a dry smile: "This method is not good." Let's think of something else. It was clear that Tu Li had no choice, so he glared at him and said, "You want to!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I really have a way"

"What's the solution?"

"According to the road," Zhou Yu said softly: "Release Yang Shun." ”

"Inappropriate, inappropriate". Tu Li objected: "Yang Shun is already a person who is waiting for crimes, let him out to lead the army." In case something happens, not only will we not be able to escape, but even Xiaoge Lao will be implicated! ”

"But I think what Lu Kai said is right." Zhou Yu said: "This is a good opportunity for them to atone for their crimes, as long as the Mongols are blocked, let's praise him again, so that the Lord of Beijing can feel that the Xuanfu cannot do without Yang Shun, and naturally someone will come out to say good things for him and hate him: "And then add oil and vinegar, and sue that Shen Mo to detain the governor in the name of Qincha, which almost caused a big disaster, so that the two-pronged approach will not worry about the emperor not muttering." ”

Tu Li was moved by what he said, and sighed: "The matter has come to this, you can only be a dead horse as a live guide, you go and let him go." ”

"Not me. It's the two of us! Zhou Bi shook his head and said, "I can't do it here alone."

"Then I'll give you command of the guard." Tu Li said: "It's better not to tear your face with Shen Mo, in case you beg him, I can talk when I arrive."

"What are you begging him for? Zhou Yu scolded; "That kid just wants to put us to death, how can there be any kindness!" Having said that, Tu Li was no longer required to act with him. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the silent fame inevitably left a shadow in his heart, so that Zhou Shilang, who has always been tough, did not dare to be ruthless to the end. There were more than 60 guards brought by Zhou Yu, plus more than 40 of Tu Li, and more than 100 people held swords and spears in their hands and followed Zhou Shilang to the governor's mansion.

It's almost time. Zhou Yu cheered up his subordinates and said, "Don't worry about anything later, just go in and grab people!" I'll take my life! The guards screamed and rushed to the gate.

The brocade guards guarding the door had already gotten the news and stood in two rows at the door. blocked Zhou Se and others.

"On the orders of Lord Qincha, enter the mansion to escort Yang Shunlu." Zhou Se's chief guard said in a loud voice.

"On the orders of Lord Qincha, no one is allowed to take Yang Shun Lukai!" The brocade guard on duty also said loudly.

This will make those who don't know the inside story listen to it, and they must think that one, Lord Qincha, is spiritual.

"Hands-on". Zhou Yu didn't want to be verbose, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Rush in."

"Who dare!" only heard a loud shout, Wu Qiang, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, appeared behind the human wall.

Argentina was eliminated and my World Cup was over" I'll start concentrating on writing books tomorrow and see how I perform. )
