(

The name Tianjin began in the second year of Yongle, which means the place where the Son of Heaven passed, and was also known as Jingu and Jinmen, and was formerly known as Zhigu. The update is the fastest and most stable. For more up-to-date chapters, visit Wèn.

In the second year of Yongle, the Yongle Emperor passed the imperial decree, in Zhigu "build the city and dredge the pond, give the name Tianjin", set up the left, middle and right three guards in Tianjin, and later added a guard to the thousand households, which is the military town of the Ming Dynasty and the transportation center of Cao.

Because Tianjin is an important barrier in the capital, it is related to the south-to-north grain diversion on the canal, so it has been paid more attention since the Yongle Emperor, which also makes the Tianjin defenders fully loaded and sufficient, and there is no shortage in other places.

Tianjin Sanwei and Tianjin Shouyu Qianhu were under the control of Qin Guangyi, the deputy commander of Tianjin, the governor of Yongcheng, Qin Guangyi was the governor of the Chinese military governor's office, one of the favorite generals of the Yongle Emperor, and adopted the strategy of protecting himself in the battle between Emperor Xuande and the king of Han, and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and then was able to sit firmly in the position of deputy general soldier of Tianjin.

As a nobleman, Qin Guangyi naturally had a good friendship with the King of Han, although Qin Guangyi was still loyal to Emperor Xuande, it was certain that the King of Han must have been in contact with him in private.

As for whether the two reached any unknown agreement in private, it is unknown, because the main force of the Han King was dragged by the Ming army on the Shandong battlefield, so Tianjin did not attract people's attention.

Moreover, there is also Wuqing City between Tianjin and the capital, which is now guarded by 30,000 troops under Zhou Zheng's old subordinate Yongping Bo Yang Wei to defend the capital.

Wuqing City is strategically located, Lushui surrounds its left, the Hunhe River extends to its west, the north arches Shenjing and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the south peeps into the Tan Sea and all things are dynasties, when the waterway rushes Qu, the throat of Xun Jifu, it is the place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, and it is also the last line of defense in the south of the capital.

Therefore, if the rebels want to attack the capital from Cangzhou, they must pass through the two major military towns of Tianjin and Wuqing, and before they break through these two cities, the main force of the Ming army in the Shandong battlefield will pursue them, making them fall into the predicament of being blocked in front and back.

But if Qin Guangyi let the rebels cross the border, the shape would be completely different, once the rebels passed through Tianjin, which was guarded by elite soldiers, then there was a good chance that they would bypass Wuqing City and go straight to the capital.

Although Wuqingcheng had more troops than Tianjin, its combat effectiveness was far inferior to Tianjin.

Because the location of Wuqing City belongs to the rear of the Ming army, half of the defenders are newly recruited military households, after all, almost all the elites of the Ming army have been transferred to Zhendingfu and Shandong battlefields, and there are no defenders in the rear cities, even if there are, they belong to the second-line troops, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

"Did Yongchengbo take refuge in the King of Han?" After listening to Li Yuntian's words, Zhu Yuxin was taken aback and looked at Li Yuntian with a shocked expression, wouldn't the capital be in danger in this way!

"If the army of the King of Han does not arrive, Yongchengbo will definitely not dare to act rashly, and his troops alone will not be able to pose a threat to the capital. The fastest and most stable update dìng"

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, shook his head at Zhu Yuxin with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Zhu, this official has decided to leave for Cangzhou immediately, intercept King Han before he arrives in Cangzhou, and must not let him pass Cangzhou, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"In case King Han doesn't go to Cangzhou, the rebels in Le'an and Dezhou will be reunited as soon as you go like this." Although what Li Yuntian said was reasonable, Zhu Yuxin still felt a little worried, after all, this was just Li Yuntian's speculation, and if he went on a business trip, it would affect the war situation in Texas.

"I can't take care of so much anymore." Li Yuntian frowned and groaned for a moment, and said in a resolute tone, "Le'an's defenders don't know where the official has gone, and they don't dare to act rashly in a short period of time, as long as the official can arrive in Cangzhou in two days, then they will know if the King of Han has gone there." ”

"Miss Zhu, this official hopes that you can go to Jingzhou, inform the emperor of the official's decision, let the emperor prepare early, once the official intercepts the Han King in Cangzhou, please send troops to help immediately." As he spoke, Li Yuntian arched his hand to Zhu Yuxin and said in a deep voice.

If the King of Han really went to Cangzhou this time, then he must have brought the elite of the rebels, and only the old Xiaowu army under Li Yuntian could fight with it, and it would be difficult for the newly reorganized Xiaowu army and other Ming troops to stop the elite of the rebels.

Therefore, Li Yuntian believed that his purpose was to block the footsteps of the Han King to the north, drag him in Cangzhou as much as possible, and at the same time report to Emperor Xuande and ask Emperor Xuande to send troops to help.

Due to the unpredictable consequences of going to Cangzhou this time, Li Yuntian naturally didn't want Zhu Yuxin to be in danger with him, plus he wanted to take away most of the Ming troops in Wu'an County, so it was better to send Zhu Yuxin back to Jingzhou City.

"Okay, I'll go." How could Zhu Yuxin not know Li Yuntian's intentions, she knew that Li Yuntian might face a life-and-death battle, and if she followed, it would distract Li Yuntian, so she solemnly agreed.

"You...... Take care! Then, Zhu Yuxin bit her lip and looked at Li Yuntian with a concerned expression.

"I'm tired of Miss Zhu, give this sword to the emperor." Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he saw this, and felt that there was some complicated meaning in Zhu Yuxin's eyes, but he didn't have time to think about other things now, so he casually took off the gold-handled gold-sheathed embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist, and handed it to Zhu Yuxin with both hands. [35215671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 352 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 355

Zhu Yuxin didn't understand what Li Yuntian meant by this, why he handed over the sword to Emperor Xuande, and looked at Li Yuntian with some doubt.

Li Yuntian did not explain the reason to Zhu Yuxin, and asked Zhu Yuxin to simply pack her luggage and then sent someone to escort her to Jingzhou City, Zhu Yuxin had a handwritten letter written by Li Yuntian.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also wrote a letter to Zhang Hao, informing Zhang Hao of his speculation and deployment, so that Zhang Hao could respond.

After sending Zhu Yuxin away, Li Yuntian immediately made military deployments, personally led 20,000 Xiaowu troops and 5,000 Ming troops, brought four or five days of dry food, and went straight out of the city to Cangzhou.

Outside the county seat of Wu'an County, Zhang Zhixian of Wu'an County and several thousands of households saw off Li Yuntian and his party.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the official leaves, Wu'an County will give it to you." Li Yuntian glanced at Zhang Zhixian and the thousands of households, and ordered in a deep voice, "As long as the enemy army does not attack on a large scale, there is no need to close the city gate!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the officials remember." Zhang Zhixian and the others arched their hands at Li Yuntian and replied loudly.

Li Yuntian immediately turned on his horse and walked away surrounded by Li Daniu and Wang Jian.

Zhang Zhixian and several thousands of households watched Li Yuntian and the others leave, they didn't know where Li Yuntian was going, but it was obvious that there were important things to do, otherwise they wouldn't have left in such a hurry.

This time he went to Cangzhou, Li Yuntian brought 20,000 Xiaowu troops and 5,000 Ming troops, all of whom were in good health, and the remaining 5,000 Ming troops guarded Wu'an.

At dawn, Jingzhou City.

A group of knights came to the south gate with a carriage, and the knights seemed to have been on the road for a long time.

"Listen to the people in the city, the county lord of Ruixiang has an urgent military situation to ask to see the emperor, and open the city gate quickly." A knight came to the moat and shouted at the defenders who had fallen at the gates.

"There is an order from the peak, no matter who comes, don't open the city gate at night, and talk about it tomorrow." When the defenders on the tower of the city gate heard this, they replied in a loud voice.

Because Emperor Xuande was in Qingzhou City, in order to avoid the rebels from attacking Qingzhou City at night, Qingzhou City did not open the city gate at night.

"County Lord, what should I do?" The knight was a guard of the Fuwang Mansion, so he naturally knew this rule, and when he heard this, he reluctantly rode his horse to the carriage and asked Zhu Yuxin inside for instructions in a deep voice.

"Shoot this letter into the city and give it to the emperor." The curtain of the carriage was lifted immediately, and Zhu Yuxin handed over the letter that Li Yuntian had taught her with a cold expression, and said in a coquettish voice, "Tell the people in the city, this is an urgent letter from the governor of Shandong, let them send it to the emperor immediately, if they delay the military situation, they will wait to be cut off their heads!" ”

The guards then "shot" the letter to the city gate tower, and the rear army upstairs heard that it was an urgent message from the governor of Shandong, so they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent it to the bedroom of Emperor Xuande.

Zhu Yuxin sat in the carriage with an anxious expression, holding Li Yuntian's sword tightly with both hands, she was not worried about whether Emperor Xuande would be able to see Li Yuntian's letter, but worried about Li Yuntian's situation, if things were really as Li Yuntian guessed, then a bloody battle was inevitable.

About half an hour later, the suspension bridge at the south gate was slowly lowered, and Emperor Xuande had a decree, and Xuan Zhu Yuxin went to the dormitory to see the driver.

When Zhu Yuxin saw Emperor Xuande in the dormitory, Emperor Xuande was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, because he was awakened in his sleep, so he didn't have time to comb, and the long hair on his head was scattered behind him.

"Aunt Ruixiang, what you are holding in your hand is Li Yushi's saber in the martial arts hall." As soon as Zhu Yuxin entered the door, Emperor Xuande noticed the gold-handled gold-sheathed embroidered spring knife she was holding in her hand, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

King Fu is the cousin of Emperor Hongwu, so Zhu Yuxin is the same generation as Emperor Hongxi and King Han, and Emperor Xuande is younger than her, so when they meet in private, they have to call Zhu Yuxin an aunt.

It was precisely because of Zhu Yuxin's identity that she could take Li Yuntian's sword to see Emperor Xuande, otherwise she would have been stopped a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, this is what Li Yushi asked his concubines to hand over to the emperor." Zhu Yuxin blessed Emperor Xuande, and handed the embroidered spring knife to Jin Ying, who was standing aside, with both hands.

Although Zhu Yuxin was able to bring a sword to meet Emperor Xuande, she could not get close to Emperor Xuande, and she had to hand it over to the close attendants beside Emperor Xuande, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

"Li Yushi, this is going to fight against the water." Emperor Xuande took the embroidered spring knife, pulled out the sharp blade and looked at it, then snapped it shut and said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, quickly send troops to rescue Li Yushi, the soldiers under the King of Han are all brave people, and Li Yushi is only leading a new army that has just been recruited, how can it be the opponent of the King of Han?"

Zhu Yuxin couldn't help but lose her face when she heard this, and now she finally understood why Li Yuntian asked her to bring the saber to Emperor Xuande, it turned out that she wanted to use this to make a clear ambition and break the net with Han Wangyu.

"Now that the war in Texas is in full swing, and the enemy situation is unknown, how can I send troops lightly?" Emperor Xuande shook his head helplessly, and said to Zhu Yuxin with a wry smile, "Besides, Li Yushi told me in his letter that the King of Han was cunning, and he could only send troops when he came with accurate news, in case there was fraud." ”

"Your Majesty, then let Li Yushi be in danger?" Zhu Yuxin bit her lip and asked, looking extremely worried.

It will take at least two days to travel from Cangzhou to Jingzhou, even if Li Yuntian sends a fast horse back to deliver the message, then the road will have to be delayed for one day, so it will be three days, Li Yuntian can stop the King of Han for three days?

Besides, the rebels in Cangzhou will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely send troops to rescue, which means that Li Yuntian will be attacked by the rebels before and after, and his situation is critical.

"It's come to this, and we have to resign ourselves to fate." Emperor Xuande didn't know that Li Yuntian was risking his life this time, he groaned for a while, stepped forward and handed the embroidered spring knife to Zhu Yuxin, "Aunt Ruixiang, since you brought this knife, then you will return it to Li Yushi at that time, I believe that he can return in triumph!" ”

The corners of Zhu Yuxin's mouth squirmed a few times, wanting to say something, but she never said it, just holding the embroidered spring knife in her hand tightly with both hands, looking very worried
