Chapter 960: The Fall of the Hero
It has been more than a month since Tang Yi arrived at Dabansheng, and three days ago, the three characters of Guihua City, which he personally inscribed, were engraved on a one-zhang long and three-foot-wide mahogany board and hung on the city wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dabansheng has become a thing of the past, and Qi Jimei was appointed as a senator with the army, with three hundred soldiers of the Qi family's army, responsible for training Dacheng Taiji's men and horses.
In the hands of Alta, the Tumut Department is the most powerful force in the grassland, even if it is hit hard, its strength is still not weak, and it can quickly concentrate enough young and strong people to receive military training.
As the cold winter passes, a large amount of grain and cement is brought over, as long as we wait for the spring flowers to bloom, in a few months, the city of naturalization will be completely renewed, and the traces of the city will be completely cleaned.
More and more Ming merchants gathered in Guihua City, using it as a center of trade and talking about the future prospects. Rows of inns and restaurants appeared in the city, and many Mongolian merchants also found business opportunities, they roasted mutton in oil, and filled wooden barrels with milk tea, entertaining guests from afar.
Calm and peaceful, all industries are prosperous, it looks exactly the same as Tang Yi expected, but what about the actual situation?
In front of Tang Yi was a series of problems that had arisen these days, within ten days, the businessmen on both sides clashed more than 20 times, and more than a dozen people were killed.
There were also dozens of princes and nobles who ran to Tang Yi to complain to the Ming army, saying that their women were occupied, and asked the Ming court to give an explanation and severely punish the soldiers who caused the trouble.
The most troublesome thing is that after a large group of princes signed the contract, they refused to hand over the pasture, and blindly asked the Ming to give them food and weapons to help them train soldiers.
These people don't know where they learned the words, and they say that they should be benevolent and righteous in big things and small things, and some even say that the army should withdraw from the grassland as soon as possible and not destroy their way of life......
Although the scale of the conflicts is not large, they can be frequent and intensive, which makes Tang Yi smell an unusual smell. As soon as he gave an order, several ministers in the naturalized city and the generals in the army all rushed over, including Gao Yi and Hu Zongxian, and everyone gathered together.
"Let's talk about it, what are you going to do with the matter in front of you?" Tang Yi asked in a deep voice.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, but who knew that Grohe, who had always been deep, spoke.
"Old Tang Ge, the lower officials dare to say a few words, the fault is on us, some soldiers are too unseemly!" Gao Yi said, glancing at Ma Fang, obviously talking about his person.
"The old man has seen with his own eyes these days, many soldiers are undisciplined, corrupt military law, and when they see cattle and sheep, they rush to the camp, kill and eat meat, and they are not polite when they see women. How is it different from that of robbers and thieves? No wonder it will provoke a backlash from various departments, the old man thinks that if it continues like this, it will only destroy the overall situation of the Ge Lao Jingluo grassland. Of course, the old man is not unkind to his own people, I mean at least a few people should be taken out to calm down the people's grievances, warn our people, and let everyone strictly abide by military discipline and not act indiscriminately. ”
Gao Yi said to Ma Fang: "Mr. Ma, if the old man remembers well, it is your subordinate, a thousand general robbed more than 20 beauties of Xin Ai's mansion, that Xin Ai is the uncle of Tushetu Khan, what kind of system!" ”
Ma Fang's face was gloomy, obviously unconvinced, but he couldn't argue with the great uncle, so he could only keep his head down and keep peeking at the people around him.
Qi Jiguang, Yang An, Tang Kekuan and others all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
It was Hu Zongxian, who suddenly laughed, "Gao Butang, I don't think so, do you think our people have done too much?" ”
"Do you need to talk about that?" Grohe asked.
"Hahaha, in my opinion, not only is it not too much, but it is too honest!" Hu Zongxian got up and said as he walked: "What are the rules on the grassland? Historically, the tribes were slaughtered, and in the event of defeat, all the men of the tribe who were taller than the wheels were killed, and the women were divided among the victors, as were the goods. It's a natural thing, what's there to make a fuss about them? ”
Gao Yi coughed twice and said angrily: "Hu Shaobao, do you mean that we will go to the king's division and learn from the grassland departments?" also misbehaved, and military discipline was gone? It must be known that the siege is the bottom, and the attack is the top. How do others see us? ”
Hu Zongxian didn't care, he laughed and said: "Gao Butang, the common people often say that which river takes off which shoes, if you fight in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and deal with those homeless grass cowards, I agree with it a hundred times." But when we are in the grassland, the wolves look around and talk to them about benevolence and righteousness. Besides, our soldiers have suffered so much and made great contributions, and I don't think it's fair to punish them for some trivial things! ”
Hu Zongxian's words were too right for the hearts of the generals present, and he simply said it to the crack in his heart, Hu Shaobao understood the big guy too well. Including Tan Lun, he also spoke: "Uncle Zong, the soldiers may be at fault, but they can't hurt their morale, I think we are the victors, and we can't weaken our prestige." ”
"So what do you want to do?" Grohe said politely.
"One word: kill!" Tan Lun clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said to Tang Yi: "Ge Lao, when I first laid down the Naturalization City, there was no movement at all, but in recent days, they have been moving, and to put it mildly, they are just good people and are bullied. The princes of all the tribes saw that we were too kind, so they picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and their purpose was nothing more than to drive us out of the grassland. ”
Tang Yi narrowed his eyes, leaned on the Taishi chair, and suddenly chuckled twice.
"Alas, I originally wanted to do a good business, boiled frogs in warm water, and quietly stewed a pot of soup, but someone used this pavilion as a soft persimmon. That's it, Zili, go and tell our Tushetu Khan that he should know how to do it! ”
What else can you do, deal with it with heavy hands!
Tang Yi is obviously on the side of Hu Zongxian and the generals, but he cherishes his feathers and is unwilling to do it himself, anyway, Dacheng Taiji is the puppet they supported, and he happens to be the best candidate to do this kind of thing.
……
In the palace, a few candles burned suddenly, and under the firelight, black shadows flashed on the faces of Dacheng Taiji and Yike Hatun from time to time, looking strange and desolate.
One gram of Hatun was lying on her body, and her expression was no longer visible. After a long time, she said: "The Han people are too ruthless!" ”
Dacheng Taiji also lowered his head, he smiled sadly, with a maturity that did not match his age, "Grandma, does the grandson have any other choice?" ”
Yes, what other way can he choose except to rely on the Ming Dynasty, acting as a knife in the hands of the Ming people will certainly become the common enemy of all departments, and he will be despised and spurned, but even if he doesn't do it, those people will not let him go.
"This is my grandson's life, I admit it!"
Yike Hatun's eyes suddenly widened, and her cloudy old eyes emitted a strange brilliance, and she stretched out her dry hand and stroked Dacheng Taiji's forehead.
"Grandson, don't be afraid, you have another way to go."
"What way?" Dacheng Taiji asked curiously.
"Your grandfather is not dead, as long as the old thing is still in the future, he will be a big problem for the Ming Court, and those people in the Ming Court will not do anything nonsense."
Yike Hatun was full of pride, and Leng Sensen smiled, "The father and son of the Ma family who were sent to pursue your grandfather have returned, they have empty hands, and if they miss this time, the eagle of the grassland will soar under the immortal sky forever!"
Old thing, what have you been doing for more than ten years?
Indulge in pleasure and covet beauty. Your ambitions have been forgotten as you get older.
Do you remember that at the beginning, you said to me that you want to surpass your grandfather Dayan Khan, like Genghis Khan, conquer the whole world, not only to be the overlord of the steppe, but also to conquer the Central Plains and become the emperor of the Han people!
Once upon a time, you forgot that you only have women in your heart, not even your granddaughter.
You old bastard! ”
One Gram Hartun cursed frantically, tears of sadness streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Dacheng Taiji finally felt that his grandmother was so affectionate to his grandfather, but why was she willing to assist her, why?
"Silly boy, the eagle cannot be bound by ropes, and the wolf king cannot be confined by a cage. And the big board ascends to the city, which is a cage and a rope. Your grandfather was too greedy for comfort, too concerned about what he had. Only by leaving him with nothing can he wake up the old thing and let him regain the fighting spirit of his youth! ”
Yike Hatun grabbed his grandson's chest and mocked with contempt: "How can you compare to your grandfather? Da Ming saw that you were useless, so he supported you, and I had the same idea! Wait, after a few years, your grandfather will come back with a large army, and at that time grandma will find a way to save your life and make you a carefree Taiji, grandson, you are not worthy to be the overlord of the grassland! ”
……
Staggered out of the palace, Dacheng Taiji seemed to have been drained of his soul and completely became a walking corpse, he had always thought that his grandmother was the most supportive of him, and he did not hesitate to fall out with her husband for herself. But at this moment, he finally understood that he was just a pet in front of his grandmother, no matter how much he cherished it, he couldn't be compared with a couple for decades.
She is just using herself to keep the family business for her husband and wait for him to return!
God, who else can I trust?
Dacheng Taiji was speechless, he struggled to walk back, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the silent street, and someone struck a gong, running and shouting.
In the silence of the night, the sound was heard far and wide, and the entire Naturalization City could be heard clearly.
"I'm dead, Ming warrior, kill me!"
Suddenly, everyone woke up from their sleep, they rubbed their ears, listened carefully, yes, I was dead, the man who had been crisscrossing the grassland for decades died like this?
Is it true or fake?
All the Mongol princes and nobles in the city were so frightened that they ran out of the city, and in the winter, dressed only in single clothes or even shirtless, they ran to the gate of the city, completely ignoring the biting cold wind.
The news was sent to the Qincha Mansion, Tang Yi gently unfolded the note, it was Xi Muyun's words, but it was very sloppy, Tang Yi shook his head, "This student still needs to be disciplined well!" ”
Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun and the others turned their heads directly, too lazy to look at him. Fill it with garlic! (To be continued.) )
