Chapter 45: Heroes

Zhu Houhuang comforted Zhengde and said: "I can defeat the northern captives, so that the northern captives will not dare to go south for decades, and I can also comfort the souls of the martyrs in the sky." ”

"Martyrs. That's a good word. Zhengde said.

Zhu Houhuang suddenly moved and said, "Your Majesty has thought about how to compensate these dead soldiers? ”

Zhengde said: "The country has its own grace, and I will also promote their sons and nephews to their side. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "The major events of the country are being sacrificed in Rong, why should Your Majesty set up a monument to Jingshi, engrave the names of the dead soldiers on it, and sacrifice the spring and autumn ,---"

Before Zhu Houhuang finished speaking, Zhengde had already shook his head and said, "No." Zhengde explained: "The minister will never be able to get through. "Respect and humility etiquette is the most important thing in Confucianism, how can it simply be one more. Where Wenchen has to turn the sky upside down. And Zhengde himself is not happy. Because Wenchen made a set of etiquette extremely cumbersome in order to show his importance, Zhengde was a big head, what kind of sacrifice to the sky, home field, and other big rituals, it gave Zhengde a headache, where would he be willing to have another one.

"Still, it's a good note." Zhengde thought for a moment and said: "My Shou Palace has not yet been repaired, and when it is completed, I will engrave the lives of the so-called dead soldiers on the Shou Palace, so that they can follow me to the ground." ”

Cleaning up the battlefield and burying the corpses, there are a lot of Tartars captured this time, taking care of the prisoners, this big mess of things, it is already night, and the pursuing cavalry has returned one after another, Zhu Houhuang assisted Zhengde to set up a large camp not far from the battlefield, and was recruited to clean up the battlefield around the people, when he was busy. Suddenly, I heard a cheer from the camp. When Zhu Houhuang asked, he learned that Dayan Khan had been captured.

Dayan Khan was no ordinary Mongol chieftain, but was recognized as the lord of Mongol Zhongxing. Reinvigorate the leader of the Golden Family. Zhu Houhuang himself seemed to be in a dream, and couldn't help but walk towards the big tent, wanting to see the true face of Dayan Khan.

Before the Zhengde Tent, many people crowded here, and it was obvious that everyone was curious about Dayan Khan. However, they can't enter the big tent, so they can only wait outside.

After Zhu Houhuang entered the big tent, he found that the main generals of this battle were here. Zhu Houhuang found his seat and stood over, looked into the middle of the big tent, and found Dayan Khan.

At this time, Dayan Khan was extremely embarrassed, and the fur fur on his body could not see the original color, all of them were bloodstained, and even had a few arrow wounds on his body, which were oozing blood little by little. He didn't stand on the ground at all, but knelt on the ground, and he couldn't even say kneeling, because the way his legs were twisted and looked like they were broken.

"Dayan Khan won't live long." Zhu Houhuang listened to the whispers of the people around him.

Indeed, this injury is unlikely to be cured.

"Dayan Khan, are you guilty?" Zhengde asked sharply.

Dayan Khan struggled to raise his head, and word by word burst out from between his teeth, and asked, "What is my sin?" His eyes were buried deep in blood, but they were shining like a wounded beast. Even if he was covered with bruises, he did not show weakness, even if his voice was very weak, he had to spit it out firmly word by word to ensure his dignity.

"Over the past few decades, dozens of offenses have been made, and the people have been killed by you, uncountable, and now they have been captured, and they dare to claim that they are not guilty."

Dayan Khan laughed, laughing extremely ugly, laughing and coughing at the same time, and said, "What am I guilty of? As you may all remember, I ascended the throne at the age of six because my father, Khan, died when he was six years old. How he died, probably you don't remember. But I remember, I remember very clearly, how Wang Yue suddenly entered the tribe, I hid in the haystack to see this Wang Yue lead people to kill my father Khan, and my brothers and sisters. I am the only one left in the Golden Family, which is why I ascended the throne at the age of six and became Khan. ”

Zhu Houhuang knew that this battle was a famous victory in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called Weininghai victory, and Wang Yue was also named Weininghou. However, because Wang Yue and the eunuch Wang Zhi were close, after Hongzhi ascended the throne, Wang Yue was demoted. But even so, Wang Yue made a comeback during the Hongzhi period, and after his comeback, Dayan Khan only tested the defense of the Ming army, so he didn't dare to go south.

"What sin am I? It's just revenge. It's just a pity that he didn't succeed and died. ”

For a while, Zhengde didn't know what to say.

The hatred between the Mongolian Tatars and the Ming Dynasty on the earth can be said to be a deep feud in the sea of blood, where there is any right or wrong at all, and there are different views on each other's different positions. There is no right or wrong.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but think of the Ming people's evaluation of Wang Yue, thinking that Wang Yue was greedy for soldiers and reckless salaries, reaching a point where border generals had never been. Probably thinks that Wang Yue clings to the eunuch and hacks him to death, even hundreds of years later, if you don't care about the history of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid you haven't even heard of Wang Yue's reputation, and even Zhu Houhuang really learned about Wang Yue's exploits in the Ming Dynasty.

When Wang Yue was there, Dayan Khan did not dare to easily offend the side, but as soon as Wang Yue went, Ningxia, Suiyuan, and Gansu were almost defeated by Dayan Khan.

Zhu Houhuang saw that Zhengde was speechless for a while, and said sharply: "You keep saying that you want to take revenge, when Wei Ninghou is here, why don't you report it, but you are clamoring today, but you are a bully who is afraid of the hard." ”

Dayan Khan stared at Zhu Houhuang and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Nobody." Zhu Houhuang said: "The Great Khan came up from the grassland, don't you know the reason for becoming a king and defeating the Kou, today the Great Khan led 50,000 fine horses into the Kou, and the horses could not return to the outside of the fortress, what kind of face did the Great Khan have to see his father and son, and dare to say that he was not guilty, right?" ”

Dayan Khan's expression darkened, he could face Zhengde and not admit his guilt, he didn't feel that his status was lower than Zhengde, or his legs were useless, it was impossible for Zhengde to make him kneel. It's just that he has 50,000 cavalry, and he is the elite of his headquarters, and the people who lead the troops on the left and right are all his relatives and nephews. At this moment, he died in a battle, so how can Dayan Khan not be heartbroken. Can't help yourself. And the injuries on his body were serious, he knew that he might not live for a few days, so he naturally had no intention of bowing his head to Zhengde and admitting defeat. He sighed and said: "Zhu Houzhao, if you dare to personally conquer among the emperors of the Southern Dynasty, you can be regarded as a character, and it is not in vain for me to fall into your hands, but you should not be complacent, Wang Yue killed his father Khan, and me." You killed me, and there are other descendants of the Golden Family on the grassland. If you are a hero, you will give me a bloodless death. It's also an acquaintance. ”

Zhengde suddenly had a feeling that something hurt him, and said, "Okay." The herald went down and said: "Drag it down, and use the method of the Mongols, and give him a bloodless death." ”

Dayan Khan was dragged down like this.

With the arrest of Dayan Khan, this pro-campaign has come to an end. In a hurry, it has been more than two months. But this is not the time to go back, this war, in the territory of Datong, the entire Datong was ruined by this war, the Mongols have no military discipline at all, but the military discipline of the Ming army is not much better, but this time it is the emperor's personal conquest, all kinds of supplies are quite comprehensive, not so that he lacks food and clothing, so there is no large-scale looting. But there's never a shortage of things like hand-holding.

This time, the people of Datong Town have suffered from blood mold.

And after the war, pacifying the place, rectifying the army, and other tedious things are indispensable, and stuffing the scenery such as Jingshi, there is a touch of charm, so that Zhengde, who has been trapped in the Sifang City for many years, feels a feast for his eyes, and for a while he actually does not want to return to Beijing.

During this time, the capture of the two battles was also counted, with a total of 7,000 beheaded, more than 30,000 prisoners, and the rest scattered and fled outside the Great Sai.

The one million taels of silver that Zhengde mobilized from the Beijing division is also about to arrive, Zhengde has a big mind, after killing Dayan Khan, he has to look at Shu, and he has paid attention to the Hetao, and during this period of time, he began to visit Shanxi Sulao. Ask about the method of repetition, of course, it is indispensable to taste the famous Datong girl in the north. Left behind a legend of the dragon and the phoenix.

Zhengde was almost having fun, but he couldn't sit still among the Jingshi, and Yang Tinghe came.
