It was already an empty council hall, but Luo Hengxin stayed, sat on the embroidered pier moved by the guards, and persuaded Zhu Qizhen with a relaxed and comfortable expression with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, although Yang Jun and Shi Biao are both good generals, both of them are unruly and unwilling to be subordinate. Besides, His Majesty's pro-army, when he guards His Majesty's safety, how can he leave in person? The minister also asked His Majesty to think twice. ”

"Old Aiqing, it's not that I don't want to leave the pro-army to defend the Xuanfu, but now that the situation is critical, I can do that act of standing by again, hum, if it weren't for Zhuqing's opposition, I really want to go to Kaipingwei in person, and see how many evil things Wu Biao and others have done in Kaipingwei." In the end, Zhu Qizhen's anger couldn't help but rise again.

"If Kaipingwei is lost, then the tile spur will take the lead, and also seize the dangerous pass, at that time, the tile spur army can enter the Xuanfu, when the time comes, I don't know how many Ming warriors will be lost in vain, in order to recapture Kaipingwei." Zhu Qi patted his thigh angrily: "You must know that the area around Kaipingwei is not just as simple as the terrain is dangerous, but it is the range where the Shangdu of Mengyuan was located in the past......"

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but fall silent, yes, it is not just a pass, but also a region of great political significance and role, especially for the Mongols...... The Shangdu area is called Jinlianchuan or Liangcheng in the Jin Dynasty, and there is Jingming Palace. It was the place where the emperor of the Jin Dynasty took refuge in the summer. In the fourth year of Baoyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, after Meng Ge, the heir of Meng Yuan, that is, the Great Khan, Kublai Khan, as the relative of the emperor's younger brother, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty. So Kublai Khan moved his vassal south to the Golden Lotus River.

After he was in charge of ruling the Han land, he further expanded his contact with Han Chinese doctors and became more influenced by Han culture. In the spring of the sixth year of Xianzong, he ordered the monk Zicong (that is, Liu Bingzhong) to build a new city in the east of Huanzhou and north of Luanshui (now the Lightning River), which was named Kaiping Mansion as a feudal residence.

At that time, the capital of Mongolia was in Hazun and Lin. When Kublai Khan chose the address of his domain, he took into account that "he would show his relatives to the court, pay tribute, and report on his duties, and the Daoli should be even", so he determined that it was located on the southern edge of the Mongolian grassland, and the terrain was chongping, which was not only convenient to be associated with the Great Khan of Helin, but also conducive to the nearby control of the Han region in North China.

Through the extensive activities of the Jinlianchuan shogunate, Kublai Khan deepened his understanding of the necessary surnames to learn Han culture and change the old way of ruling the Mongols, and won the general support of Han doctors, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty. In the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Ge died. The following year, Kublai Khan fought for the throne of the Khan in Kaiping and his younger brother Ali Buge, who stayed in Holin. Kublai Khan relied on the abundant manpower and material resources of the Han region and used Kaiping as a forward base, which lasted four years and finally defeated Ali Buge.

-------------------- the fourth year of Zhongtong, he was promoted to Kaiping Mansion as the capital to replace Helin. However, at this time, the center of gravity of Kublai Khan's regime had shifted to the Han region in the Central Plains, and it was too remote to set the capital in the grassland behind the mountains, so in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Yanjing was changed to the central capital.

In nine years, the capital was changed to the capital, which was set as the capital, and the capital was used as the summer capital for summer vacation, forming a pattern of two capital systems. Every April, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty went to Shangdu to escape the summer. **The moon and autumn are cool and return to the capital. During the emperor's stay in Shangdu, the political axes and various departments were subordinate to each other to deal with important government affairs. In addition to hunting and recreation of the emperor here, the court meetings of the Mongolian kings and nobles (Kuritai) and traditional sacrificial activities were held here.

There are four post roads between Shangdu and Dadu, and you can follow the post road to the north to traffic Mobei. The imperial court set up the capital to stay behind the division and the governor of the capital, in charge of the palace and the capital, and also to lead the city and the civil affairs of the prefectures and counties: after the emperor returned to the capital, he received the affairs of the warehouses in the capital.

In the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army parted ways for the Northern Expedition, and Mr. Zhonglu Guan and the broken head Pan Department broke through the capital city in December of the eighteenth year of Zhizheng and burned the palace. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Kaiping Wei was established here, and when Xuanzong migrated south, the city was finally abandoned.

"Although I, Kaipingwei, moved south to Dushikou Fort, the Watt Thorn people still don't dare to get involved in it, why? It's not because there is no danger to defend in the area of Shangdu, and I have a good location, and I can disturb the area around Shangdu with heavy troops at any time. Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly.

"It is precisely because they know very well that there is really no danger to defend in the Shangdu area, and if they take it, it will be taken by my Ming. Therefore, the tile spur can only watch the wild grass grow on the former Yuanmeng, and he does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

Luo Hengxin nodded in agreement: "If they really take the dangerous pass of Kaiping Wei and defend it with danger, at that time, the Kaiping Mansion that has been abandoned for decades will be obtained by the tile thorns, and the capital of Mengyuan will be in the hands of the Mongols, and at that time it will greatly stimulate the morale of the Mongolian tribes, so that the prestige of the first will be greatly increased, which is really unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty." ”

"And at that time, I really didn't expect that the situation in Xuanfu would be so unoptimistic, hehe." Zhu Qizhen touched his nose a little embarrassed, yes, there is also his responsibility here, after all, he was an ordinary person in his previous life, and he was not a military expert, but after coming to this era, he always felt that everything seemed to be so easy, as if he could really use the world as a chessboard.

Now, after all, I have understood a truth, military affairs, after all, is a profound knowledge, not to say that you can become a generation of military strategists in ancient times after reading a little war theory and a little modern military knowledge in later generations, at most, you can use that knowledge to shake all the ancient people a little dizzy, but you can't replace professional talents.

"It is precisely because I am too eager for quick success and quick profit that I have the difficult situation of Xuanfu today." Zhu Qizhen's face was bitter, he raised his hand to interrupt Luo Hengxin, who wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, and after a pause, he continued: "Since Lian did something wrong, then, naturally, I must try my best to make up for it before it happens, so as not to make small mistakes become big mistakes, otherwise, I will not be at ease." ”

Luo Heng stood up, bowed down with a happy face, and said: "Your Majesty has this heart, which is really a blessing for the millions of soldiers and civilians in my Xuanfu. If the old minister persuades him again, I am afraid that he will also lose His Majesty's kindness, then the old minister will retire first, and he will definitely tell the regiments and township soldiers in all states and counties to take strict precautions. ”

"Okay, old Aiqing, please get up quickly, you are the parents of the people, you can relieve the worries of the people, although I am inferior, but I am still a Ming person, naturally I should also think about the people and do something that should be done, otherwise, what is the use of me staying in Xuanfu?" Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up this seventy-year-old man, and said with a warm smile.

"Besides, my pro-army, either the elite of the former guard, or the elite cavalry from the Beijing Division, are all veterans, plus during this period of time, strict training, said to beat training, although it has not yet been tested by the battle array, but I believe that these two thousand pro-army can at least reach thousands of ordinary soldiers." When mentioning the pro-army, Zhu Qizhen's face couldn't help but show a trace of undisguised pride.

--------------------Yes, because of Zhu Qizhen's unremitting efforts, this pro-army can simply become the most professional and highest-armed elite division in this era. Not only are all the soldiers equipped with a handle, the so-called handlearm actually does not have a handle, but more like a miniature cannon weighing only about two pounds, that is, a long hollow cast iron, pre-charged, stuffed with lead shots, the mouth of the gun hangs upwards on the waist, when used, only need to lead the velvet, can be fired, however, the effective range is at most more than 30 steps, generally speaking, on the battlefield, this thing can only be shot once.

However, there are more such things, after shooting, they can still be thrown out and smash people, and at the same time, they can also give the soldiers an extra weapon for self-defense. In addition, this pro-army, from the general to the ordinary soldier, is all iron armor and iron helmets of Yishui, and good war knives and round shields of Yishui.

The armor rate of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is quite high, but there are still many soldiers who can only wear leather armor, and now this army that has been built at a great price is even affectionately called the ironclad army by the people of Xuanfu.

In addition, when Zhu Qizhen sent Yang Jun and Shi Biao to lead the army to Kaipingwei, he specially ordered the transfer of 2,000 war horses, so that the number of this pro-army was only 2,000, and the number of mounts was as high as 6,000.

In this way, at least this pro-army can be regarded as the most powerful force of the Ming Dynasty, and what Zhu Qizhen lacks most now is time, and only they can take on the arduous task of reinforcing the monolithic fort in the shortest possible time.

Hearing this, and then looking at this tall and burly, sword eyebrows, every line and every move, all of them looked heroic and heroic, Xiao seemed to be the emperor of the ancestor Zhu Di back then, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the change of the civil fort, after all, made this son of heaven who grew up in the deep palace wake up, but unfortunately, it was a little late to wake up.

Today's Son of Heaven Zhu Qiyu is quite inferior to Zhu Qizhen in front of him, even if it is compared to Zhu Qizhen before, at least, the faintly staged cannibalism between uncle and nephew, as well as the series of dirty methods, really makes people feel more and more that acting today is really not done by the Ming monarch.

However, Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, was just when he was captured in the tile spur, or now between the civil and military affairs of the Xuanfu, he is conscientious and worried about the country and the people, and he is cunning for the people's livelihood and military affairs of the Xuanfu, and he is even more vigorous support out of his own pocket, and this kind of behavior is really ...... "If the Emperor Taishang returns to the throne and regains the power of the Ming Dynasty, the country and the people will definitely be better than now." Luo Hengxin's mind couldn't help but have such an absurd idea that had never appeared before, or that he didn't dare or wanted to think about.
