Chapter 114: Where to go
When my father Wang wrote the poem of Lord Xin, he wrote the word 'Zhu Quan' on the inscription. From this name, Brother Tang already knows that my surname is Zhu! "Oh, so I see, Brother Tang must know that the names of the descendants of the Zhu family can only revolve around Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, and 'Frost' is not in Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, so Brother Tang suddenly guessed that the name Lu Shuang is not his real name!" However, this regulation of Taizu is an extremely interesting regulation, if it weren't for this, I don't think Brother Tang would have guessed that Sister Shuang'er used a pseudonym! Sun Fei hurriedly explained. Maybe it was from that moment that Brother Tang became wary of me Fu Bo and Manager Wu, right? Lu Shuang said a little gloomily. I smiled and said, "There, I only found out your true identity after Sun Fei, Zhao Ming, and Zhao Wu disappeared!" Lu Shuang was shocked: "What's going on?" "Yes, since you know that Sister Shuang'er is using a fake name to deceive us, why are you?" Sun Fei asked with some curiosity. I looked at Sun Fei, Lu Shuang looked puzzled, and after laughing a few times, I told them everything after Sun Fei's disappearance, including how I hid under the big tree, eavesdropping, etc.! After hearing this, Sun Fei sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so calm!" ”
As soon as Sun Fei's words fell, a voice came in from the outside: "Hahaha, who?" So capable! As soon as the words fell, the person who came quickly flashed in. To my lord! I hurriedly bowed. Yu Shilong glanced at me with a smile, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Tang Tianyou Sun Fei takes the order!" I was startled and hurriedly knelt down. I only heard Yu Shilong chanting to the yellow holy decree: "Carry it by heaven, the emperor said." Check Hangzhou Mansion to catch fast Tang Tianyou, Sun Fei is the world's leader in catching fast, now the country is in an eventful autumn, it is related to my Ming Dynasty Sheji, specially ordered Hangzhou Mansion to catch fast for the country, because of the confidentiality, the details of Hangzhou Mansion Yin Yu Shilong on behalf of the oral message. The military situation is urgent, and we will set off immediately on the same day. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the catchers in the house shouted loudly. I hurriedly accepted the holy decree in Shilong's hand and asked with a serious face, "Lord Yu, is there a new task?" Yu Shilong nodded and said, "Not bad!" "Does it matter?" Sun Fei interjected. "It's about whether my Daming border pass lasts for a long time!" Yu Shilong said with a straight face. I was stunned and said, "The border is fighting again!" ”
Yu Shilong didn't speak for a long time, and only after a moment did he say with a straight face: "How can I be threatened by the Tartars!" I was stunned and said, "The Mongols have attacked my Central Plains!" ”
Yu Shilong nodded and said: "Yes, it is a critical moment now, and now the military situation is urgent, let's talk while we go!" I was shocked and said, "My lord is going too!" Yu Shilong nodded and said: "This time the military situation is urgent, and the court is afraid that there will be a mistake, so I am specially ordered to follow!" I nodded and said, "I see, with adults following, I believe we can overcome any difficulties!" ”
Yu Shilong said with a worried face: "Maybe? Seeing Yu Shilong's worried face, Sun Fei knew that this task was extremely heavy, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, what are we doing this mission?" ”
Yu Shilong glanced at Sun Fei and said, "It's a matter of confidentiality, I think we'd better leave as soon as possible, right?" You'll know when you get there! Although Sun Fei had doubts, he had no choice but to give up when he saw that Yu Shilong was here!
Yu Shilong looked back at everyone, and suddenly said, "Let's go!" ”
Outside the Hangzhou Mansion, everyone was brightly dressed, Yu Shilong looked at the Hangzhou Mansion with some nostalgia, and sighed a little: "I don't know if I can come back this time!" "Don't worry, my lord, with our great god here, I will definitely be able to come back!" Zhao Wulang said.
Yu Shilong smiled, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Let's go!" ”
"Driving, driving, driving, ......driving, driving" In the spring Jiangnan, the dust flew up two feet high, and more than a dozen horsemen galloped one after the other. In front of him was a white horse with high legs and a long body, and an old man was riding on the horse, and he kept whipping the body of the horse, and kept shouting backwards: "Everyone, hurry! ”
"Lord Yu, where are we going?" I asked as I whipped the red horse under my crotch and chased after me. Yu Shilong turned his face to look at me, and said loudly: "Go to Jiayuguan!" ”
"Jiayuguan!" I was shocked.
"Lord Yu, what are you doing in Jiayuguan?" Lu Shuang whipped up and asked.
Yu Shilong waved the whip in his hand vigorously, and said without knowing his head: "Send food!" ”
"Send Jiayuguan, this Jiayuguan is the dangerous pass at the west end of the Great Wall of my Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most intact Xiongguan of the Great Wall. Guancheng was built in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, which is the last guarantee of my Ming Dynasty, why did you go there? Zhao Wu asked with some concern.
Yu Shilong sighed on the horse and said: "Since the change of the Tumu Fort, I have been greatly injured, although I also died later, the Tartar Department has become stronger and stronger, especially the Tartar Department. He and the little prince and Mao Lizi entered the Hetao area one after another, plundering Yansui, Pingliang, Lingzhou, Guyuan and Datong. ”
This loop refers to the area east of Helan Mountain, south of Wolf Mountain and Daqing Mountain, and along the Yellow River in present-day Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The Yellow River forms a large bend here, called the Hetao. The water and grass here are abundant, the land is fertile, and it can be cultivated and pastured, and the Mongolian department has lived here for a long time after his death. ”
"When Mongolia became strong, it infested the Ming border from time to time. After the death of Ji Nang in the 21st year of Jiajing, Altan was dominant, and he used Hetao as a stronghold and led the Mongol cavalry, often invading Shanxi, Shaanxi and even the Gyeonggi region. The Ming court was weak in defense, and some ministers believed that in order to eradicate the border troubles, it was necessary to drive the taokou out of the Hetao area. The governor of the three sides, Zeng Miao, strongly advocated this, and the scholar Xia Yan supported Zeng Miao. Emperor Sejong was inclined to do the same, but soon changed his mind and did not want to raise an army. Yan Song, a university scholar, saw this opportunity and poured out his first assistant Xia Yan, saying that the Hetao could not be recovered. "Yu," Shilong said with a sigh. "It's Yan Song again, this traitor who is good at flattery, stealing power and profitless, and misleading the country and the people!" Zhao Wu said fiercely.
Yu Shilong whipped hard, and the white horse was in pain, and he struggled to run towards Nanjing City. After a long time, Yu Shilong sighed and said: "Seeing that Emperor Shizong did not advocate recovering the Hetao area, the ministers of the court echoed Yan Song one after another. The Mongols in the Hetao region also invaded several times, claiming revenge. So Xia Yan was dismissed and sent to prison. Qiu Luan, the former commander-in-chief of the Gansu army, was impeached and imprisoned by Zeng Mill for corruption, Yan Song sheltered Qiu Luan, and on behalf of Qiu Luan Cao, he falsely accused Zeng Milling of deducting millions of military spending, covering up his defeat and not reporting it, and ordered his son to bribe the powerful and other crimes. ”
"I can't imagine that Emperor Sejong trusts this traitor so much, it's hateful!" Zhao Ming said fiercely.
Yu Shilong continued: "Emperor Sejong believed this, and beheaded Zeng in order to befriend his close servants. After that, no one dared to discuss the resumption of the set, the border defense was deteriorating, and then Emperor Sejong lived in the west, busy with Jiao, quite tired of military affairs. Yan Song, who was in charge, and Ding Rukui, the secretary of the military department, no longer heard about the situation. So much so that the side trouble is just serious!
"Lord Yu, in this way, the food we sent this time is for these border soldiers!" I raised my head and asked Yu Shilong, who was struggling to gallop.
"Well, the border troubles are getting more and more serious under the delay of the traitor Yan Song's father and son, Mongolia looks at the emptiness of my Ming Dynasty, and finally in June, I Da led the army to invade Datong, first ambushed and died in the ditch, so that the weak cavalry challenged, Datong chief soldier Zhang Da rushed into the enemy, drove the troops to meet the battle, and fell into an ambush and died. Lin Chun, the deputy chief military officer, heard that Zhang Da was trapped, rushed into the battle to rescue, and was also killed. The two are brave fighters among the Ming border generals. I replied victorious, and led the troops back. Yu Shilong sighed with some emotion.
"It's really hateful, but this side of the pass was defeated, doesn't the court know?" Lu Shuang rode over and asked.
"Hey, maybe it's my Ming Dynasty who should have this section, the defeat report into the court, the hundred officials were terrified, the governor Guo Zonggao, and the governor Chen Yao were each scolded by the rod for a hundred troops, Chen Yao died under the rod, and Guo Zonggao was on the side. Weng Wanda succeeded him as governor, Weng was sick and lived in the township, and he was replaced by Su You, the squire of the military department. Su Youdai Town, that is, asked for more troops and food, but was not approved. Yu Shilong glanced at the sky and said.
"It must be Yan Song's traitor's obstruction! Otherwise, how could Emperor Sejong ignore such a major war? Lu Shuang rushed over and said.
I nodded and said, "What Shuang'er said makes sense, it was Yan Song's self-destruction of the Great Wall that caused Altan Khan to drive straight in, causing the Gengxu Change. I think that Emperor Wen moved the capital to Beijing and opened the era of "the Son of Heaven guarding the country", and then the five northern expeditions to Mongolia allowed the Ming army to dominate the desert. "Yes, Emperor Wen was so eloquent back then, it can be said that he was a model for my Ming Emperor, but in addition to indulging in immortality all day long, I really can't think of any good things he has done!" Sun Fei continued my words.
"Well, who's to say it isn't? At present, this battle is still Qiu Luan's bribing Yan Songzi Yan Shifan, who was able to get out of prison and become the chief soldier of Xuanda and stationed in Datong to resist the enemy. Yu Shilong said worriedly.
"What is the current military situation of Lord Yu?" Zhao Ming, who had not said a word along the way, came over at this time and asked.
Yu Shilong whipped the white horse's ass fiercely. The white horse suffers pain and accelerates the speed of running. Seeing this, the crowd hurriedly whipped their whips and slapped them at the horses under their hips.
"I replied that the army re-entered Datong, and when Qiu Luan heard that the enemy was coming, he was frightened and helpless, so he listened to the policy of his subordinates, bribed me heavily, and begged him to bypass Datong. I then swore an oath with the arrow, made an alliance with it, and went east, wanting to attack the east of Xuanfu and the west of Liaozuo. Ding Rukui, the secretary of the military department, said that Sejong was tired of hearing the alarm and did not report the emergency border situation, but only ordered Jizhou to be strictly prepared, and sent 12,000 cavalry of border soldiers and 20,000 cavalry of the Beijing camp to be distributed in Xuanfu and Jizhou passes. The border soldiers failed to arrive at the designated defensive area in time. There are many scoundrels in Beijing, and they have no combat effectiveness. ”
After walking for a long time, when he saw a town in front of him, Yu Shilong glanced up, and galloped towards the town without saying a word. The people hurried and rode their horses to follow. The town is not big, but it is very characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the lotus leaves in the fields, green and round; Lotus flowers, light and charming. Like the Lingbo fairy, the slim jade stands on the green water, wafting in the breeze, giving people a pleasing beauty. Although everyone grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, they have not been able to see such a beautiful scenery, if they don't have something important to do, they must have a good time.
Yu Shilong rode his horse out of the town, and suddenly turned his face and said: "A few days ago, I led my troops to Gubeikou, attacked the border wall with thousands of horses, and the governor of Shuntian led all the men and horses out of the city to resist the battle. I replied to lead troops to block the Ming army in Jizhou, and the elite cavalry was sent to break into the wall from the pigeon hole and Huangyu ditch on the left side of the Gubei mouth, and appeared behind the Ming army, and the Beijing army broke up and fled into the valley. Wang Ruxiao retreated to Jizhou, knew that the tide river has a path, and could reach Tongzhou in a day and night, and hurried to the east of the river to the west of the river. On the 17th, I arrived in Miyun, turned to plunder Huairou, besieged Shunyi City, heard that there were Baoding soldiers in the city, relieved the siege and went south, reached Tongzhou in the middle of the night, and blocked the bank of the White River. Wang Chen encouraged his soldiers to go to the city to defend the city, and sent people down the city to quickly enter the capital to ask for reinforcements. Jingzhong got the report, panicked, and the military department hurriedly summoned the Beijing battalion soldiers to defend the city, and summoned Qiu Luan, who had arrived at Juyong Pass, to lead 20,000 troops to help. Qiu Luan bribed me to go east, but Shang Shu said that the thief would commit Jizhen in the east, and he was afraid that the Beijing division would be in a hurry, so he applied to join the Beijing division. ”
