"You go to die-" Yang Chuan broke off the arrow feather on his right arm and rushed towards Ah Gui to kill him, taking his head on the neck.

Ah Gui was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated: "Let go of the arrow—shoot him, shoot him—"

The Warat army hurriedly fired arrows in unison, and the arrows shot at Yang Chuan like a torrential rain. As a result, a generation of heroes shed blood on the battlefield and died heroically.

Yang Qilang died in the battle of Gubeikou, and the Wara army in the middle entered the Miyun Plain and headed straight towards the city of Beijing. The castles such as monoliths and horse camps are in a critical situation of being isolated and helpless, the strength of the Ming army defending the city and the Wara army is very different, and the river near the castle is also cut off by the Wara army, there is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, Yang Jun is almost crazy.

The Ming court learned that Warat had attacked the capital and immediately imposed martial law on the capital. On the second day of the first month of October, Gao Li and Mao Fushou, deputy commanders-in-chief, met the enemy in the north of the Tucheng of Zhangyimen and defeated the vanguard officer of Wara.

The first battle of the defense of Beijing was successful, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the military department Shangshu sent the right Tongzheng Wang Fu to Tucheng to pay homage to Yingzong. On the fifth day of the first month, Zhu Qiyu ordered the kings to send troops into the guard, and Yang Jun was ordered to withdraw to Juyong Pass, snipe the Wara army, and support the Beijing division.

After several days of fierce fighting, the long-distance Warat army was defeated by the soldiers and civilians in Beijing, and Yexian's younger brother Polo and Pingzhang Mao were killed by artillery fire. Successive defeats, low morale, and deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty, the armies of King Qin from all over the country were already about to arrive in the capital, and they couldn't sit still at first.

He also saw that the capture of Beijing City by Yu Qian, Shi Heng and other civil and military ministers came to naught, and he was afraid that Yang Hong would cut off his way back, so he had to hastily withdraw his troops. On the night of the 15th, the Wara army pulled out the camp and left, and the Ming army sent off with fierce artillery fire, killing 10,000 people of the Wara army, and had to flee to Huiliangxiang first, and the defense of the Beijing division was basically over.

At the same time, the 50,000 Wara army attacking Juyong Pass, due to the great cold, the Ming guard general Luo Tong drew water to irrigate the city, the walls froze, and the Wara army could not attack. After seven days of fighting, the Varat attack was repulsed.

The Ming army went out of the pass three times to pursue, killing countless enemies, including Yang Jun who commanded Yang Jun to lead 800 officers and soldiers to pursue, and captured the sixth rank of thieves, 120 horses, more than 470 cattle and mules, and recovered more than 500 men and women. Yang Jun entered the department to supervise the affairs of the department, and still guarded Juyong Pass with Luo Tong.

On the 17th, when Yang Hong led more than 20,000 troops to the outskirts of the capital, those who had suffered heavy losses had already retreated in a hurry. Yang Hong was ordered to lead troops with Sun Bo, Fan Guang and others to exterminate the remnants of the Yexian army near Gyeonggi that had not yet retreated and were still looting, and annihilated the enemy in Zhuozhou, Bauhinia Pass and other places.

Yang Hong led the elite troops to chase to the area of Gu'an, Bazhou, and beheaded more than 480 enemies in one fell swoop, captured 48 people alive, and returned tens of thousands of plundered people and countless livestock bows and knives. After that, Yang Hong won a great victory in Gu'an, capturing the Warat general Agui and others.

After Wara retreated, the imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Yang Hong was awarded the title of "Fengtian Xuyun Tui Cheng Xuanli Wuchen", and he was specially entered into the Ronglu Doctor, Zhuguo, and gave a world coupon and 1100 stones. Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, was ordered to stay in Beijing for the time being, and was responsible for training the garrison troops including the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion, and was also in charge of the affairs of the Left Army Governor's Office.

Yang Hong's second brother Baohedian, Wuyingdian scholar, and "the first iron pen in the court" Yang Qing was named the hereditary Yingxi Nine Thousand Households, majoring in Gushui (i.e., the North Canal). Yang Jun, the eldest son of Yang Hongshu, served as the right governor of the former military capital and led 3,000 battalions in Beijing.

In August of the first year of Jingtai (1450), Yingzong was also unconditionally sent back to Beijing and restored the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty. After Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, he became the honorary emperor and lived in the South Palace. Since he didn't die in the catastrophe, he believed in anyone too much, including his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, and Yang Hong's father and son who refused to open the city gate, and always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of them, and he was waiting for the time to come.

When the Marquis Yang Mansion in Beijing was being built, Zhu Qiyu personally sealed it with a royal pen and gave Yang Hong a high-quality white marble dismount tablet. This was originally a good thing, but I don't know what's going on, when Zhu Qiyu wrote the inscription on the horse stele, he actually wrote Yang Ren's "Yang" character one stroke less (one less horizontal in the middle of the "day" on the word "Yi" on its side).

The craftsman who engraved the lettering suddenly discovered a mistake in the original manuscript and hurriedly asked the secretary of the ministry Shangshu Wang Zhi how to deal with it. Wang Zhi (1379-1462) was the first minister of the imperial court, and his sister was the wife of Yang Hongzhi's younger brother Yang Qing, and the two families were in-laws.

He took a closer look at the proof, and sure enough, it was. He is proficient in the Book of Changes, and it is not a good sign for such a thing to appear at this juncture, and after a moment of silence, Wang Zhi said to the craftsman quietly: "How the emperor writes, you can carve it." ”

The craftsman nodded, "Okay." However, there is a missing horizontal between the Japanese characters of the word 'Yang', which is obviously a mouth word, and the mouth is empty and unlucky. Hou Ye is a good person, accumulating good deeds, I think it is better to fill it in. ”

The craftsman broke the mystery with one word, and Wang Zhi was not angry: "The Yang family is the gate of heroes, and it is normal for people to die, and the will of heaven cannot be violated." ”

The craftsman said: "I think that the plan is in the people and the success is in the sky, and this horizontal has to be added, which can ensure the safety of the Hou Ye's family." ”

Wang Zhi stopped his hand and said: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, and it is inappropriate to do it knowing that it cannot be done." Let's go with Providence. So, when the craftsman was carving the inscription, the original rubbing went up, and the "Yang" in the dismounted stele was still missing.

Afterwards, Wang Zhi found Yang Hong and Yang Qing brothers and told them: "This is a bad omen. I think the word 'day' refers to the emperor, and going to this horizontal means that the royal family is going to reduce the number of people, and the Yang family is going to reduce the day. ”

Yang Hong was silent for a long time, and said: "The fate of the division belongs, and there is nothing to do." It doesn't matter if the days of being favored by the emperor are reduced, but I hope that the ancestors will be virtuous and bless the future generations of my Yang family with peace and security. ”

Yang Qingdao: "If the current emperor dies, the emperor is very likely to be reinstated." What I'm most worried about is Jun'er, who is too sharp, unruly, and unruly, which is not good for others and himself. Lord Shangshu, is there a way to crack it? ”

Wang Zhidao: "No." Once the Son of Heaven is a courtier, the new Son of Heaven is on the throne, and most of the former courtiers are about to be liquidated, and everything is left to fate. ”

Yang Hong sighed and said: "The imperial court is a dangerous river and lake, there are good people and bad people in it, and in the future, our Yang family will have to be cautious everywhere." ”......

Another marquis' mansion in the southeast corner of Yingxi City, Dalongzhuang, was built by the imperial court to allocate land and silver according to the system, demarcating 148 acres of land, of which 38 acres were built, and the remaining part was occupied by the Dragon King Temple, Jinggong Ancestral Hall, streets, officialdom, etc. The Marquis Yang Mansion was originally built from the royal family, and its high specifications and scale are the first in Yingxi, which is incomparable.

The day after the completion of the Marquis' Mansion, all the Yang family officials in the court and the Yang clan members gathered in the living room on the east side of the "Sizhitang", and Yang Hong held a family meeting on the roots and family affairs of the Yang family in Yingxi.

Changping Hou Yang Hong sat on the Taishi chair in the center of the living room, brewed a large cup of Qingqian willow tea from his hometown, slowly tasted three sips, and then put down the teacup, and talked about the past of the Yang family general in Yingxi seriously:

...... Yingxi Yang family will originate from Chengbu Village, Gaozu Huainan Cheng Yang Juben in the fourth year of Tang Wenzong Kaicheng (839), crowned General Jinwu, and was ordered to garrison Zhou. After settling in Chishui Mountain Jingliang Village, the third son of Feishan Taigong Yang Zaisi is repairing the princess to live in Chishui Mountain Shangguan Village, the first ancestor of the Yang family in Chengbu Village, buried in the dog cub stone, Yang surname is prosperous and prosperous. A few years later, my grandfather Yang Guqing gave birth to my father Yang Jing, whose name is Meng Chun, also known as Yang Zailu, was born in Yinshi. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, my Yang family will "one masterpiece and five tigers" Bao Taizu, conquer the north and south, and make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty......

In the summer of the second year of Jingtai (1451), in order to strengthen the military defense of the important town of Xuanfu, under the recommendation of Yu Qian, the seventy-year-old veteran Yang Hong hung the seal of the general of Zhenshuo and left the town of Xuanfu again.

The two nephews, Yang Neng and Yang Xin, were respectively promoted to the governors of Tongzhi and the governors, and served as his left and right generals. So far, 25 children and grandchildren of the Yang family have served in the DPRK and the army, guarding the border, and the strength of the Yang family has reached its peak.

Yang Hong has always been cautious, but he is not domineering, but now the Yang family is a family, a marquis and three governors, all of whom have heavy troops in their hands, and their officials are the best, and they are very uneasy.

He understands better than anyone else the truth that the tree is big and the wind is blowing, and the prosperity must decline, so it is better to retreat bravely and leave a way for his children and grandchildren to retreat. Although the Marquis's Mansion is protected by a generational iron coupon to avoid death, once the emperor is changed, the fate of the family will change.

So, Yang Hong wrote to the emperor to ask for retirement, but it was not granted, and then he asked again to move his nephew to another town, but Emperor Jing still did not approve.

In August, Yang Hong contracted an illness and had to return to Beijing, where he died on September 12 at the age of 70. His concubine Ge was hanged and martyred, and the emperor posthumously presented her as a lady. The imperial court posthumously presented Yang Hong as the Duke of Ying Guo and gave him Wuxiang.

According to Yang Hong's will, Yang Jun buried his father's tomb in Xishanquan Palace in Beijing, and sent his own soldiers to secretly transport the body back to his hometown in Chengbuzhai, and chose the site to be buried at the mouth of the Lion Rock Dagu Cave in Shangguan Village.

Yang Hong, a great hero who has guarded the frontier for 48 years, returned to his hometown, and only made a short stay when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the last years of Yongle, and now he finally went home and could rest well.

A year after the inscription of the dismounted stele, Yang Hong first died of illness in the Marquis's Palace. Not long after, Yang Jie, the second son of Shu, suddenly fell ill and died. Two years later, Zhu Jianji, the only son of Daizong Zhu Qiyu, was originally alive and kicking, but died inexplicably.

Wang Zhi's prophecy is being fulfilled one by one, and Yang Jun's fate is also quietly changing. On the ninth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Jingtai, Yang Jun inherited the title of Marquis of Changping, with 1,100 stone of rice, and his power was overwhelmed for a while.

Since then, Yang Jun, who is arrogant and arrogant, will not protect himself, he is too upright in the court, often speaks disrespectfully, and has no one in his eyes, offending many ministers of the court, and is intolerable by a group of civil and military ministers, and is regarded as a thorn in the side.

Shi Heng, together with Zhang Xuan and others, secretly instructed the house slaves of the Marquis's Mansion to frame Yang Jun for violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty many times. An invisible black hand is quietly reaching out to the Marquis's Mansion, and the middle-aged Yang Jun is more than lucky.
