It's okay that Totoku doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Yang Jun gets angry, raises the horsewhip in his hand and slaps Totoku a few times: "You caused us to run so far, do you know how difficult it is to walk from the monolith to here!" ”

"I don't know. ”

Yang Jun was even more angry, pulled out his saber and put it on Toto's neck, and said loudly: "Let me tell you, more than one hundred and ten miles, Lao Tzu can't wait to skin you alive!" ”

Yang Hong, who was in the distance, saw that his son was spreading wild for no reason, and hurriedly shouted while urging the horse: "Boy, you stop for me!" ”

Tokh was very aggrieved, surrendered and was almost killed, seeing that the commander came to save him, he was no longer flustered, slowly stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said to Yang Hong with an innocent face: "General Su Wen treats prisoners preferentially, why does Major General Fang Cai want to hurt me?" ”

Yang Hong drank Yang Jun away: "Stinky boy, isn't it enough for you to cause trouble?" Before you enlisted in the army, you fought in the ring, and I didn't treat you well when I split Shilin. ”

Yang Jun quibbled: "These Tartars should be killed!" ”

Yang Hong raised his horsewhip and hit Yang Jun a few times: "Those who kill surrender are not the work of brave warriors, and they can't be killed indiscriminately." Do you want to learn from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu? ”

Yang Jun was taken by his father's majesty and didn't dare to say more.

"Come on, take me down, and lock me up for three days!" Yang Jing and Yang Lun stepped forward to take Yang Jun down.

Yang Hong went up and apologized: "Lord Toto, the dog is ignorant, I apologize to you." ”

Deeply moved, Tokhtar ordered his men to lower their raised swords, and a bloody conflict was averted. When Zhu Zhanji heard the news, he specially issued an edict to reward Yang Hong, saying that he managed the army well, and was a model for the Ming army. This battle paved the way for Yang Hong's future independent leadership and continuous promotion.

In the seventh year of Xuande (1432), in response to the aggressiveness of the Mongol tribes, the imperial court decided to set up a military base in Ximaoyu (now Maying Township, Chicheng County) to enrich the border defense force. At this time, Yang Hong had been leading the army outside the Saiwai army and garrisoning the border passes for nearly 30 years, and he was well aware of the terrain, landform and military situation in the Yongning, Chicheng and Dushi areas.

Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied with Yang Hong's achievements, and tried his best to overcome public opinion, believing that only Yang Hong could be worthy of this great task, so he issued an edict to the place where Yang Hong was stationed, and ordered him to build a castle and garrison troops here as soon as possible.

This year, Yang Hong is 53 years old, still full of pride, as soon as he received the holy decree, he immediately led more than 10,000 soldiers in Ximaoyu, a barren mountain and wild mountain, to overcome thorns and thorns, dig boulders, overcome unimaginable difficulties, and work overtime.

In less than two months, a military castle with the western city wall built on stone rose from the ground, creating a miracle of the Ming army building the castle.

On the day of the inauguration of the castle, Yang Hong gathered all the soldiers to celebrate, and he said movingly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the city has been built, I am alone in the city like you, from now on, we will be stationed here for a long time, this is our new home." ”

Suddenly, the soldiers cheered: "The general is right, this is our new home." We've got a home—"

Yang Hong took a sip of herbal tea, and then said: "In this poor and barren side, if people are in the city, if the city is destroyed, people will die." We must work together to defend this city, and we must not have two hearts! ”

The soldiers raised their swords and shouted, "Together, hold this city—"

Yang Hong was the boss of the army for the first time, looking at the soldiers who were full of ambition, he couldn't help but cry with joy: "It's been thirty years, black hair has become white hair, and I, Yang Hong, can finally lead tens of thousands of troops." Father, do you see that? ”

Yang Hong plans to make this the first town outside the Yang family, he knows how to sympathize with the soldiers, share weal and woe with them, the happiness of the soldiers is their own happiness, the sorrow of the soldiers is their own sorrow, and think about his subordinates everywhere. As long as there are people in the army who are married, or have a cold or a headache, they will definitely be funded and come to offer condolences in person.

Since then, the Yang generals of this army outside the Saiwai have been united and their morale is high, and the soldiers do not feel that they are in the desolate isolated city outside the Saiwai, but feel that this is their home.

Some villagers came here to reclaim wasteland and settle down, and the area around Maying was no longer a barren land, but gradually prosperous and lively, and became an important military town for border trade.

On a starry night, Yang Hong climbed to the top of the city, looked up at the sky, and crossed the sky. He couldn't help but chant a poem: The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is bright and the night is bright, who will the runes fall into? It can be called a hero turning the tide and crossing Mount Tai to pick up the stars.

Yang Hong moved to Ximaoyu, and after building a new Maying City, he took the Maying as the base camp of the Ming army, and took the initiative to fight out of the fortress, with great achievements and continuous promotion. Yang Hong not only advocated the cultivation of martial arts, but also paid attention to cultural governance, actively built temples to carry out high-platform education, and established schools to educate the military and civilians in the border areas.

Yang Hong is dedicated to protecting the country and the people, resolute and resolute, the enemy is strong and never escapes, and after careful consideration, he defeats the enemy with a plan; After the victory, he was never complacent, and always had a sense of danger in times of peace. Meritorious service is not monolithic, there are rewards to share with subordinates, rewards and punishments are clear, never indiscriminately killing, and are deeply loved by the army and the people. Everyone is proud of being a general of the Yang family, and they all fight to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

The horse camp is Yang Hong's blessed land, since the troops have been stationed here, he has won great victories every year, and the officials have become bigger and bigger-

In the eighth year of Xuande (1433), Yang Hongma's battalion gave the base area and launched the first battle to pursue and suppress the border invaders, defeated the enemy in Hongshan, and was promoted to commander (Zheng Sipin) in the following year.

In the tenth year of Xuande (1435), Zhu Zhanji held a court discussion on border defense affairs, Yang Hong made meritorious contributions, Xuanzong was overjoyed, and then promoted Yang Hong to Beijing as the commander of the envoy (Zheng Sanpin), and added the guerrilla general, commanding 2000 elite soldiers and 1200 stables and horses in Wanquan.

In the same year, Yang Hong led his troops to patrol to the area of Kaipingwei Jiuye Dustpan River, and encountered the Mongolian army of the brigade, after a bloody battle, defeated the fierce Mongolian cavalry, captured its leader Totobai Ambiguous Terrace, Ming Xuanzong ordered it to be the commander of the affairs (Zheng Sanpin).

After the death of Emperor Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, and this kid was ready to take advantage of the Mongols as soon as he came up, and immediately sent Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, to inspect the military town in the north and check the armament. Coincidentally, a Warat cavalry invaded the border, and Du commanded An Jing to escape from the battle, running for hundreds of miles, and was chased and beaten by the Warat army.

This is okay, a commander was so cowardly that the Ming army lost face, but fortunately, Yang Hong rescued in time, and An Jing picked up a life. Wang Ji ordered An Jing to be arrested, corrected the law on the spot, designated Yang Hong as the temporary acting commander of the capital, and controlled the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, so as to stabilize the military morale of the border guards.

Wang Ji was angry, returned to the capital, and immediately went to see Zhu Qizhen, and admonished: "Shengshang, the border army is cowardly, and the people should strengthen their training to deal with the attack of the Mobei tribes. ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly asked: "Aiqing, the first dynasty has been exhausted, is there a suitable candidate?" ”

Wang Ji strongly recommended Yang Hong: "The minister returned from the border pass and selected one person." This person's name is Yang Hong, although he is a partial general, he is agile for people, good at making mistakes, and is famous for daring to fight. The government and the opposition all know that Yang Hong is the pillar of my future Ming Dynasty, and the minister is not recommended by him because of his personal friendship. ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu's words are extremely true, I have seen Yang Hong a few times when I was the prince, and his instrument is magnificent, and he has the demeanor of the Duke of Jingguo, and he is worthy of being the head of the Yang family in this world." ”

Wang Ji smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty is on time?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find." Correct! This great task belongs to Yang Hong. ”

Wang Ji said: "The saint is wise, and the old minister immediately passed the book to Yang Hong to show the emperor's grace." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go, with Yang Hong here, there is no need to worry about the border pass." ”

Wang Ji said: "The minister retreated-" After speaking, he went out of the palace gate and went straight to the military headquarters.

Under the recommendation of Wang Ji, Yang Hong commanded the border military horses, practiced day and night, and was able to display his talents. That year, Yang Hong was 55 years old.

Yang Hong rectified military discipline outside the Saiwai, worked diligently, guarded the country, and resisted the enemy thousands of miles away. Some traitors and villains tried their best to make small reports, and Ming Yingzong suppressed the case files one by one and tried his best to protect Yang Hong, so that Yang Hong's military training was not affected in the slightest.

In the second year of orthodoxy (1437), Yang Hong, who had been in the border pass for a long time, wanted to enhance the patriotic consciousness of the military and civilians through Confucianism and Buddhism, enrich their cultural life, and began to build various temples in the city of Maying.

The commander Du Heng and sergeant Li Quan thought that it was profitable to repair the temple and that they could make a lot of money, so they told Yang Hong that the two of them were willing to share the pain of overseeing for Yang Hong.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hong rejected them: "I understand the kindness of the two, but building a temple is not a trivial matter, I have to do it myself." ”

Du Heng and Li Quan held a grudge, so they waited for an opportunity to join Yang Hong. Soon, Wei Yuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was ordered to go to Maying to supervise the border defense, and Du Heng and Li Quan saw that the opportunity had come and met with Wei Yuan in private.

Du Heng falsely accused: "Yang Hong wantonly built a palace tower in Maying City, wanting to support the army and establish himself as the king, and fight against the imperial court. Please play the emperor and severely punish rebellion. ”

Wei Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, felt that the situation was serious, and said quietly: "I already know, I will go back to Beijing to report this matter to the saint, please go back." ”

Du Heng Wei Yuan had already agreed, and secretly rejoiced: "Yang Hong has given you a shameless face, now you are waiting to be in prison." Then he and Li Quan left, and the two laughed more than one along the way......

As soon as Wei Yuan returned to the capital, he immediately handed over the report letter to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen, the young son of heaven, hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, believed it to be true, and was furious: "I want to issue an edict to arrest the traitor Yang Hong." ”

Wei Yuan knew that Zhu Qizhen was a fiery temper, and he was still sure of one thing, as long as someone gave Zhu Qizhen a step down, Zhu Qizhen would slowly calm down.

Wei Yuan immediately said: "Since ancient times, traitors have framed Zhongliang, all of them were made out of nothing, please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen asked, "How is that good?" ”

Wei Yuan said: "If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, so it is better to send a messenger to investigate." If it is true, it is not too late to punish Yang Hong's crimes. ”
