480 Martial Spirit (2-in-1)
Feng Zheng's words made Han Bin, Wu Dong, Meng Da and others next to him also full of eager looks.
Military generals are naturally born for war, especially under the influence of Shen Yichen, Feng Zheng, Han Bin and other Fujian and Shandong guards do not have the concept of "fear of war" in their minds, let alone bow their arrogant heads in front of the Tartar aliens.
The seal of the feudal marquis swept the Mobei royal court, which is the martial spirit that the Ming Tiger Ben and the Han family should have!
"What? Can't wait to hang Yexian's head in the Xuanwu Gate (Shenwu Gate) of the Forbidden City? ”
Shen Yichen teased Feng Zheng playfully, since the return of the ancient Han and Tang dynasties, they all hung the heads of foreign races in the north of the palace, and now the Ming Forbidden City is in the north of the Xuanwu Gate.
Feng Zheng heard the ridicule in Shen Yichen's words, and his expression showed a yearning and replied: "Back then, General Lanyu destroyed the Northern Yuan in the Fishing Sea, allowing the Northern Yuan Usahar Khan and the crown prince Tianbaonu to escape, but he failed to achieve the achievement of hanging his head in the Northern Que. ”
"Now I want to try it!"
"Okay, ambitious!"
Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Shen Yichen immediately praised loudly, the eldest husband Huang Sha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, in addition to having to be free and easy with the horse leather shroud, he must also have the heroism that surpasses the merits of the previous dynasty.
Shen Yichen was very pleased that the generals he had single-handedly pulled out had the sharp edge of Han Tang Erlang!
Of course, morale can be appreciated, but the war can not be done righteously, Shen Yichen, as the commander of the governor's Liaodong soldiers and horses, has to be responsible for the lives of these 110,000 Ming soldiers.
At the same time, it was determined that he was in Yiju City first, so he could also use the identity of the other party's Great Khan to expand the results of the war against Mongolia. For the nomads, the territory is not the most important thing, and they do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pond, on the contrary, the size of the tribal population is the shackles that have plagued the nomads for thousands of years.
This is why, every time the Mongol Tatars invade the border, they will take as many slaves as possible to the steppe in addition to their possessions.
"This official decree ordered the craftsmen of the army to immediately build siege equipment, and strive to minimize the casualties in the capture of Uiju City."
"In addition, Han Bin, you concentrate on the cavalry of the expeditionary army, and transfer to the Liaodong military headquarters in the north with this officer, and gather together with the cavalry of the Beijing camp and the cavalry of Liaodong."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yichen once again looked at the big banner on the city wall, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a provocative tone: "This official is very curious about how many Mongolian Tatars are worth the name of Tiansheng Khan to protect King Qin!" ”
That's right, just like what heroes see, Shen Yichen and Ye Xian's thoughts coincide, both of them want to kill and injure the opponent's living force, and use the target value as much as possible to surround the point and send reinforcements.
From the Mongolian army's brazen capture of Yizhou City, Shen Yichen could easily guess Yexian's appetite, it was absolutely impossible to stop at a small city, so the commander's soldiers and horses would not be stationed in the city with more than 30,000 people.
There is also a real main Mongolian force on the periphery, and Shen Yichen wants to use Yizhou City to lure them out for a decisive battle in the grassland.
Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the Han army has never been afraid of any nomads, and most of the time they are hanging each other to fight. It's a pity that due to the limitations of the times, it often spends a huge amount of manpower and material resources to go out to conquer outside the country, and it is difficult for the other side to achieve results as long as they deliberately avoid the war.
The more difficult it is, the more it shows the great exploits of Huo Quai, Li Jing of Tang, and Lanyu of Ming.
Shen Yichen has a historical perspective of God, he knows very well that even if Tiansheng Khan died first, there was still a "Dayan Khan" Zhongxing in Mongolia in the follow-up, until "Altan Khan" once again came to the Ming Kingdom's capital city, and the war in the past hundred years has continuously dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.
Along with it, there is also the courage and martial spirit of the Ming army.
If he can, Shen Yichen wants to take this opportunity to wipe out all the people who control the strings in Mongolia, so that they can hear the word "Da Ming" and dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi!
"Yes, the last general obeys!"
Feng Zheng, Han Bin and others clenched their fists one after another, and then the war machine built by tens of thousands of Ming troops was completely activated, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air in Yizhou City, and only one fuse needed to be ignited.
The night soon covered the sky, and the Mongol soldiers in the city of Yiju did not dare to relax in the slightest. But after waiting for a day, the Ming army didn't seem to have any intention of attacking in a hurry, and was still building siege equipment unhurriedly.
This kind of normal pre-war preparation situation is extremely abnormal in the eyes of Yexian. The reason is very simple, according to his previous speculation, Shen Yichen led more than 100,000 Ming troops to fall from the sky, and the only possibility to achieve it was to march quickly at any cost, giving up all the drag of grain and grass.
Since there is a shortage of food and grass, then it is even more necessary to rush to attack the city, or even attack Meng, regardless of casualties, and rely on the numerical advantage to take the city of Yizhou.
As a result, now the Ming army outside the city is building siege equipment unhurriedly, even if there is no shortage of tall trees and other materials in Liaodong, it will take at least three or five days to build it successfully, is the grain and grass carried by Shen Yichen enough to support?
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly noticed that the candle flame reflected in the wine glass had a slightly trembling ripple. Mongolians, who grew up on horseback, are all too familiar with this kind of image, and excluding the possibility of an earthquake, only the galloping of thousands of horses can cause the earth to shake so much.
The Ming army is massively mobilizing cavalry?
It is obvious that the cavalry cannot attack the city, and the lack of food is equivalent to the lack of horse feed, theoretically we should cherish the horsepower more, how can it be possible to mobilize the cavalry on a large scale at night.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he also realized what the Ming army wanted to do.
They also want to use Yizhou City as bait to fish for tens of thousands of soldiers they have placed in Modong Mongolia!
"Boromao Luohai!"
He also roared angrily, which frightened Bo Luo Mao Luohai, who was standing in the hall, and he hurriedly stepped out to touch his shoulders and saluted: "Great Khan, what is the matter with summoning me." ”
"Where are the soldiers and horses of Commander Bolonahal now?"
Borona Halle was the eldest son of Yexian, and after he became Khan, he handed over the two most important tribes under his command to his two sons. Among them, the eldest son, Bolonahal, commanded the Dulbert department, and the second son, Ashi Timur, served as the Taishi to lead the Dzungar department.
This attack on Yizhou City, adhering to the principle that eggs cannot be put in one basket, first just put the more favored second son Ashi Timur by his side. As for the eldest son, Bolonahal, he was in the steppe and controlled the main force of 50,000 Mongolian troops.
Now judging from the deployment of the Ming army, it is obvious that the other party has hit Borona Halle. Now the city of Yizhou is ambushed on all sides, and the sentinels who deliver the news have been killed by the scouts of the Ming army, and the main force of the 50,000 Ming army can only act according to the previous plan.
"Da Taiji's original order was to go to Ningyuan City to encircle Shen Yichen, but after discovering that the Ming army had arrived in Yizhou City, he changed the order and asked them to come to the aid of the Great Khan, and now they should be on their way."
"The Ming army transferred troops and horses at night, which means that their target is not in Yizhou City, so they must want to encircle the point and send reinforcements. You have to find a way to send someone to inform Bolonahal that you must not fall into the ambush of the cunning Han people! ”
is also anxious at the moment, and the strategic deployment that he was once proud of seems to have been completely seen through by the opponent, and even used his own way to govern others.
The 50,000 soldiers placed on the side of the Ming State may not be far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones, but for the sparsely populated Mongolia, it will take a few years or even more than ten years to recuperate before it can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Great Khan, the city of Yizhou is surrounded by the Ming army, and the sentinels of communication can't be sent out at all."
Bo Luo Mao Luohai's face was full of embarrassment, it was not that he didn't think about contacting Da Taiji, the problem situation did not allow it.
"Then send someone to kill it, if it really doesn't work, you will lead the army for Ben Khan, do you understand?"
A tyrannical aura burst out from Ye Xian's body, this is the essence of his status as a steppe hero, the identity of the Great Khan has brought him supreme honor, and it has also brought him a lot of restraints and shackles.
The decisive Taishi is also the first, far stronger than the Mongolian Heavenly Sage Khan!
"Yes, Great Khan!"
Feeling this familiar sense of oppression, dense beads of sweat instantly appeared on Bo Luo Maoluohai's forehead, and at the same time, an inexplicable seasonal movement appeared in his heart.
After the leader became Khan, he was more busy socializing with the nobles of the Mongol tribes, all kinds of intrigues, chickens and dogs, and miscellaneous affairs, which made the generals of the Warat tribe tired. Only this breath of killing and conquering is the most suitable for the warriors on the grassland, and Boluo Mao Luohai seems to have returned to the previous time.
Looking at the back of Boluo Mao Luohai in the distance, he also raised his head first and looked at the sky farther away, and a gloomy smile appeared on his face.
"Shen Yichen, then let Ben Khan see if you can lead the Ming cavalry to defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry on the grassland!"
As long as he doesn't fall into the ambush of the Ming army, he has absolute confidence in the frontal cavalry duel, 50,000 Mongolian iron cavalry is enough to sweep away the 100,000 Ming cavalry, can Shen Yichen take out 100,000 cavalry?
On the battlefield, after all, we still have to speak with strength.
Liaodong and the grassland are full of war clouds, and Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor of Beijing, is also fighting a war without gunpowder. Emperor Zhu Qizhen Bintian officially obtained the temple name of Yingzong, but the political turmoil caused did not die with the death.
Almost all the Beijing officials know what the truth behind it is, the Emperor Taishang is definitely not a normal death, but the struggle for imperial power has been cruel since ancient times, and if Zhu Qizhen does not die, then it is Zhu Qiyu who dies.
The officialdom is so mixed up that they don't dare to say more about things they ask, and remember not to mention a word. However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a group of scholars and Taoists, who needed to defend the integrity of the literati and the etiquette of Confucianism.
If such a major event as killing the monarch can be covered up quietly, then what etiquette and music will there be in the future?
The group of officials is strong, but there are not many stupid ones. They also knew that the current emperor Zhu Qiyu could not be blamed, so they pointed the finger at the executioner Shen Yichen, and some even had to be punished for the heinous crime of treason.
In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu looked at the impeachment chapter full of righteous indignation, and asked Cheng Jing who was waiting beside him with a calm expression: "The officials and Qingliu pointed the finger at Shen Yichen for killing the monarch, what do you think?" ”
"Eating the king's lu, being loyal to the king, and bearing the king's worries, this is what Shen Ge Lao should do."
The hidden meaning in Cheng Jing's words, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu knew it, or in a sense, it was caused by his single-handedness.
Compared with ordinary powerful ministers, Shen Yichen's actions to punish the king in Shandong, as well as the subsequent disregard for the emperor Zhu Qizhen, broke through Zhu Qiyu's bottom line as the emperor's fear of his courtiers, and it was a complete act of chaotic ministers and thieves.
But the talent and ability shown by Shen Yichen also made Zhu Qiyu understand that this son is a capable minister who can rule the world if he is used well, and the level that can turn things around at a critical moment is like a double-edged sword!
Only by letting Shen Yichen bear the name of killing the monarch and let him stand on the opposite side of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs can he minimize the possibility of him controlling the government and the opposition, and he can only choose to rely on the imperial power to survive.
It can be said that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu laid out a big game of chess for Shen Yichen, in a vain attempt to make the other party a sharp blade of his own. But he didn't know one thing, that is, Shen Yichen had already experienced the scene that Qianfu pointed out, and the reputation of the eunuch lackeys back then was not much better than now.
Heng Mei coldly pointed out to Qianfu, only do practical things with his own heart, why bother to add another notoriety of killing the king?
Zhu Qiyu can ignore the impeachment of Shen Yichen, but he can't turn a blind eye to another bunch of recitals on the imperial eucalyptus. The reason is that this is the top table of the local clan vassal king, and the object of accusation is Emperor Jingtai himself, and many of his words are more straightforward and sharp than those of the Kedao officials.
Zhu Zhandong, the particularly respected Xiangwang Wang, almost didn't say in the above table that the death of the Emperor Taishang was that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu killed his siblings and plotted to usurp the throne.
You must know that Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, is Zhu Qiyu's imperial uncle, and theoretically the legal inheritance of the throne is still in front of his concubine, and as early as the Xuanzong Dynasty, there was a precedent of two prison times.
Regardless of his reputation, prestige, or experience, he is only one step away from the throne!
After the change of Tumubao, Empress Dowager Sun's first choice was also Zhu Zhandong, the king of Lixiang, as the emperor, but this old imperial uncle really did not have much interest in the throne and did not go to Beijing to inherit the unification.
But this does not mean that he will recognize Zhu Qiyu, the concubine emperor, not to mention that the other party also killed the monarch and killed his brother!
】
Originally, under the ancestral pig breeding system of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the old imperial uncle like Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, he was also willing to stand up and point fingers, and the other vassal kings were probably not concerned about themselves.
After all, no matter how the emperor changes the throne, after all, he is still in the vein of the two emperors of Renxuan, and he has a fart relationship with himself. According to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's "ruthless" method of killing the king, what if he eases his breath and uses this as an excuse to clean himself up?
Not all vassal kings have the status of the concubine of Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, and they are highly respected and protected, so they are not worried about retaliation.
But before Shen Yichen left Beijing, he also dug a big pit for the clan vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Shangshu gave priority to supplying military rations in the north of southern Xinjiang under the condition that the treasury was tight, and the distribution of clan money was suspended.
Although Shen Yichen originally proposed to deduct the clan's money, in fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and he mainly launched a public opinion offensive for the opening of the sea ban. However, the edict of the sea ban was opened, and if you want to build the customs and collect taxes, you can't do it in a year and a half.
Now that the two fronts of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War have all started, the treasury and military expenses are simply like flowing water, even if Shen Yichen relies on the surplus of the grain war, he still can't withstand such consumption, and the head of the household is still temporarily detained after all.
Blocking people's money, it is like killing their parents, and the clan vassal king, who didn't want to have much trouble, just used the excuse of killing the monarch to make trouble one after another, making the situation a little out of Zhu Qiyu's control.
