On the first day of the second lunar month, when the people of Jingzhao were preparing for the "dragon raising its head", an urgent document from Longyou Road was sent to Jingzhao, piercing Jingzhao's excitement like a sharp arrow.
The Jingzhao officialdom trembled three times, and Emperor Jingxing summoned Shen Huashan, Zuo Liangzhe, the secretary of the military department, Zheng Litang, the general of Jin Wuwei, and others into the palace to discuss countermeasures!
The Jingzhao courtiers did not expect that what shook the Great Yong Dynasty was not the invasion from Xiyan, but the surprise attack from the Turkic tribes in Northern Xinjiang!
The situation in the north has once again become the focus of the Jingzhao court!
This urgent document was sent by Jiang Bowen, the general of Longyouwei, for 800 miles, all the way from Longyou Road to Jingzhao, and several military horses were exhausted before they could arrive in Jingzhao on the first day of February and report the most urgent military situation to Emperor Jingxing!
The content of the expedited document made the faces of Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers extremely ugly.
In the paperwork, it is not the situation of Longyou Dao, but the situation of the Anbei Protectorate and the people of Northern Xinjiang, the Tao is that the Great Ancestor of the Anbei Metropolitan Hugu and the Turkic leader Wuji colluded to release the blockade and withdraw the defense, so that the Turkic army drove straight in, and now most of the territory of Northern Xinjiang has fallen into the hands of the Turks!
The document also mentioned that more than half of the 150,000 people in northern Xinjiang are now homeless, and the lives of northern Xinjiang are miserable. The situation in the entire northern Xinjiang and even Longyou Dao has been affected, and if the Turkic offensive is not contained, Longyou Dao and even Dayong will be in danger!
At the end of the document, it was Jiang Bowen's automatic request, he was willing to lead the Longyou guards to go to the north to defend against the enemy, ask Emperor Jingxing for approval, and ask Emperor Jingxing to immediately allocate military rations and baggage to save the situation in northern Xinjiang!
"The minister will take the Longyou guards to expel the Turks from the northern frontier and protect the land of Dayong! Wishing for the Shroud of Horse Leather. Swear to keep the people peaceful! ”
The last few words of the document made Emperor Jingxing shake and panic. What shocked Jiang Bowen was Jiang Bowen's determination and will to die for the court to resist the enemy. It emerges from the handwriting on the back of the paper; What is alarming is that the situation in northern Xinjiang is so dangerous that no one in Jingzhao officials knows about it!
"What do you think? The situation in northern Xinjiang is really as the general said, what should be done? ”
Emperor Jing Xing asked, his voice with a trill. He had already let Jiang Bowen's documents circulate among these courtiers, and now, the silent and stunned looks of these courtiers made Emperor Jingxing's heart heavily clouded.
Shen Huashan is a Zhongshu order. The first to see the paperwork. When he saw Jiang Bowen's letter, his first feeling was: The previous foreboding was really true, and something really happened in Northern Xinjiang, so Shen Zesi's secret letter was not delivered.
The second feeling is: Jiang Bowen's words may not be credible! What happened in Northern Xinjiang depends only on Jiang Bowen's words. The jury is still out. We must not make a hasty decision on the situation in northern Xinjiang.
There is a reason why Shen Huashan thinks so. Jiang Bowen has always had a disagreement with Gu Dazu, and it is not a matter of a day or two that he covets 50,000 capital protectors, which has a precedent to follow.
In the thirty-fifth year of Changtai, the Seven Great Generals returned to Jingzhao to serve, and Jiang Bowen impeached Gu Dazu. He accused Gu Dazu of being stationed in northern Xinjiang for 20 years. However, the Turkic invasion made the situation in northern Xinjiang increasingly difficult, and the people in northern Xinjiang became increasingly difficult, and he also suggested that Emperor Changtai remove Gu Dazu from the post of protector of Anbei, and merge 50,000 Anbei soldiers into Longyouwei.
For this reason, Emperor Changtai also made Shangguan Yongping, the third prince at that time, the superintendent of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. Let him go to the northern frontier. Later, everyone remembers that Shangguan Yongping's military household tax in northern Xinjiang almost disturbed the stability of northern Xinjiang, and it was still criticized many years later.
Now. It was Jiang Bowen who talked about the situation in northern Xinjiang again, and Jiang Bowen who said Gu Dazu's crime. How credible is this document?
In fact, Shen Huashan believes that half of this document has no credibility. From the secret letter sent back by Shen Zesi in the past, it can be known that Gu Dazu is really a pillar and pillar general in northern Xinjiang, with the prestige of one person, he led 50,000 soldiers of Anbei Prefecture, and he resisted the iron hooves of the Turks and protected the stability of the people in northern Xinjiang. Such a person has absolute prestige in Anbei, is absolutely obedient to the soldiers, and is respected and appreciated by the people.
Gu Dazu's prestige in the northern Xinjiang was forged with countless blood and tears. In the past 20 years, the Gu and Zheng families have contributed the lives of dozens of family children to the peace of northern Xinjiang! Gu Dazu and the Turks have a deep blood feud, how can they collude with the Turks? How can he be a sinner of great eternal?
What Jiang Bowen said must not be the truth!
Therefore, Shen Huashan said: "Your Majesty, Northern Xinjiang is far away from Jingzhao, and the details cannot be known for a while. It's just that the minister thinks that Gu Dazu has always been loyal and will not collude with the Turks, but I don't know what happened. ”
This is directly saying good things for Gu Dazu and questioning what Jiang Bowen said.
As soon as Shen Huashan's words fell, Zheng Litang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, followed and spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Shen is reasonable. The situation of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will be reported to Jingzhao once every seven days, without interruption. The minister only received a report from Gu Duhu five days ago, saying that everything was normal in northern Xinjiang. ”
When he just saw Jiang Bowen's letter, Zheng Litang's heart was almost frightened.
Such things as Turkic invasion and turmoil in northern Xinjiang are major events of the Ministry of War, and if these things are true, he must be burning his ass as the secretary of the Ministry of War.
This is not only a major matter for the Ministry of War, but also a major event for Daeyong. Turkic invasion, resistance to killing enemies, and the people of the territory, which is not a big word?
What's more, Gu Dazu invaded with foreign tribes, which made things even worse. What can I do?
But then, he thought that the Ministry of War had received a report from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate as usual. Five days ago, he had also seen Gu Dazu's seal, which did not mention the Turkic invasion.
Could it be that what Jiang Bo said in the letter is not true? After Shen Huashan spoke, Zheng Litang also believed this, and only then did he have the above words.
Zuo Liangzhe also heard about the grievances between Gu Dazu and Jiang Bowen, and he was not very familiar with military affairs, so he didn't speak for a while.
After Wei Yanqing listened to Shen Huashan and Zheng Litang's words, he had a different opinion: "If there is no factual basis, how could General Jiang say such a thing?" This is an 800-mile expedited paperwork! It's an emergency military situation! This is no child's play! ”
Even if there is a grudge between Jiang Bowen and Gu Dazu, he will not joke about such a major event in the army. Northern Xinjiang, something must have happened! Jiang Bowen's emergency military situation must be true. The imperial court must deal with the enemy immediately, otherwise, the situation of Dayong is really difficult to say!
After listening to the words of these three courtiers, Emperor Jingxing's face became even more gloomy. Now these important ministers have different opinions on Jiang Bowen's letters and the situation in northern Xinjiang. But there's no way to deal with it!
Although the minister thought that Gu Dazu would never collude with the Turks, he also agreed with the general's words, that is, something must have happened in the northern Xinjiang. The most urgent task at the moment is to immediately send officials to verify the situation in northern Xinjiang, and at the same time, the court and the military headquarters are also making preparations to deal with it. ”
Immediately, Shen Huashan proposed a way to deal with it. After Zheng Litang's words were finished, the sense of foreboding in his heart became even stronger. Shen Zesi has not had a secret letter for nearly a month, and the military department can still receive Anbei's report as usual? Among them. Something must be wrong!
Wei Yanqing is not wrong, something must have happened in northern Xinjiang, and it is up to the officials to verify what happened. Or, wait for the rush of the stream to the northern frontier. Send the real situation back, and the situation in northern Xinjiang will be clear.
Such things as the gathering of troops, the issuance of grain, grass and baggage, and so on require strict procedures and examinations, and also require a certain amount of time. During these times, it is necessary to know what is happening in the northern frontier, otherwise, the blind march is ordered. Not only did it not help the situation in northern Xinjiang, but it may also be harmed.
Wei Yanqing nodded, agreeing with Shen Huashan's opinion. Now it is indeed the only way to do this, while verifying the situation in the northern Xinjiang, while preparing military rations and baggage, so that they can be used at any time.
Emperor Jingxing's will. The officials below moved. Thousands of miles of fast riding to the north of Xinjiang, the household department urgently prepared grain and grass, and the crossbow workshop department accelerated the production of bows and crossbows ordnance......
The entire court, centered on the situation in Northern Xinjiang, quickly turned, and how many officials among them were worried for the time being, needless to say, just in the Shen family. Shen Huashan and Shen Yuxian and the others never had a smile on their faces.
"I really didn't expect it. It was not Xiyan, who had been waiting to move, that violated Dayong, but the silent Turkic tribes! ”
Ye Zhengchun stroked his beard and spoke like this, not knowing whether to sigh or be stunned in his words.
In front of him, there is a chapter of the map, which is the map of the north of Dayong, and the situation of Northern Xinjiang, Longyou Road, and Guannei Road are all in it.
Needless to say, this map was sent by Shen Zesi, and most of the marks on it were military settings. The family adheres to the habit of the children of the Shen family to represent the map, and no one has ignored it.
According to Jiang Bowen, the area from Yanguan Pass to Changkang in the central part of northern Xinjiang has been occupied by the Turks. If so, the Anbei Protectorate has been occupied by the Turks, and Anbei has already fallen! ”
Shen Huashan pointed to the map and said in detail, according to Jiang Bowen's words, he estimated the worst-case scenario. He didn't believe that Gu Dazu would collude with the Turks, and the last possible scenario was that the Anbei Protectorate was defeated by the Turks, resulting in the occupation of the official office.
If the Anbei Protectorate is gone, then the nephew's secret letter will naturally not be delivered. The secret letter can't be sent, so what will happen to the soldiers of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate? Isn't it already ......
Shen Huashan suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, and endless worries flashed in his heart. The scene of his nephew Shen Zesi vowing to make meritorious deeds and the horse leather shroud is still in front of him, but now he is not sure whether he is alive or dead! If he is really unlucky, then how can he explain it to the third brother?
Shen Huashan's face became more and more ugly, Ye Zhengchun and Shen Yuxian did not speak, and their brows could not be stretched.
Northern Xinjiang, what is going on? Now, we can only wait for the news to come back.
However, the news from Ruliu has not yet been sent back to Jingzhao, and while Shen Huashan is still anxiously waiting, there is the latest news about the situation in northern Xinjiang.
A few scarred soldiers were sent to Jingzhao by a thousand miles of fast horses, and they fell in front of the official office of the military department! Their bodies were covered in clotted blood, some had a deep scar on their face, and another had a broken arm.
It was these miserable soldiers who shouted weakly in front of the official office of the military department: "The Anbei Protector Army colluded with the Turks to occupy the northern frontier!" Gu Dazu is anti! Zheng Xian anti! Shen Ze thinks the opposite! ”
