"Elder Shen Ge, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and found the banner of the Xuanda border general, is there something wrong?"

Wu Rui said as he handed the battle flag with his surname sewn to Shen Yichen, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.

After the Battle of Tumubao, soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered in Beijing to ensure the safety of the emperor and the center of the empire, but neglected the nine sides with the heaviest casualties. Later, although Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ordered Guangningbo Liu An to supervise the construction of the Fengsui Fortress, the replenishment of troops was still a beat slow, and it was very likely that the border fort would be broken through and captured like Yizhou City.

"The Xuanda defense line has Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng and Changping Marquis Yang Hong in charge, and then there are the nine sides of the Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng's general army, so there should be no problems."

Shen Yichen is also full of doubts, the famous generals of the Ming Orthodox and Jingtai dynasties are almost all guarding the border pass now, and they can break through the Xuanda defense line in the absence of the first place, so I really don't know what to say, is the border pass military town so erosive?

"Then do you want to ask the court about the situation?"

In the face of Wu Rui's suggestion, Shen Yichen shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to ask for the time being, first reorganize the troops and horses and return to Yizhou, after Bolona Halle escapes, he will definitely go to the aid first, Zhu Dudu has no mobile troops, and the defense pressure will be great."

Returning to defend Yizhou is one reason, and Shen Yichen's reluctance to go up and soothe is that he knows very well in his heart that Zhu Qiyu is jealous of himself, and he should not stretch his hand too long to arouse suspicion.

In addition, Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, is a narrow-minded person, in case nothing happens to the Xuanda Defense Line, or if the matter is not too much to be concealed, after Shen Yichen's letter is sent to the imperial court, it is easy to make a big deal and question Shi Heng's personal ability to lead the army.

Shen Yichen has been in the center of the imperial court for so many years, but he is not as upright and upright as Yu Qian, and it is still necessary to be properly tactful to avoid making enemies.

"Yes, the last will understand."

Wu Rui gave up his orders, and did not say much about this matter, it is true that the Xuanda defense line is full of famous generals, and they have all experienced several major war tests, so there should be no problems in theory.

But at this time, a Ming army scout team rushed from a distance, judging from the clothes and clothing, it should be the Liaodong Army.

"I've seen the old Shen Ge, and the little one came to deliver the military report on the order of Zhu Du's order."

"It's hard work, take it."

Shen Yichen nodded, stretched out his hand to take the military intelligence paperwork, and asked casually, "Yizhou City is still fine, and the chief will not make any moves first."

"Returning to Shen Ge Lao, the chief has also broken through from the city of Yiju in the early morning, and fled north after joining up with the Mongolian reinforcements."

What?

Hearing the scout's report that conveyed the military information, Shen Yichen was directly stunned, and he didn't even continue to open the letter in his hand.

The remnants of Bolonahal fled eastward, choosing to rush to the aid of the besieged Yexian, a move that was expected by Shen Yichen. However, there are also 60,000 Ming soldiers on the periphery of Yizhou City, and after so many days of siege, such as rejecting horses, railings and other fortifications, the time should be enough to build and complete.

In addition, Shen Yichen recognized Zhu Yi's command ability, and theoretically he would not have been given a breakthrough first, at least he would not have escaped so easily, could it be said that there was any major flaw in it?

"There are 60,000 troops in Yiju City, how can it be easy to escape overnight, and Zhu Dudu has not guarded against the remnants of Borona Halle?"

Shen Yichen thought about it, the only possibility was that the eldest prince Zhu Yi was attacked by Bolonahal, and he was caught off guard and caused the deployment to collapse, giving him the opportunity to break through first, otherwise it was categorically impossible for the 60,000 Ming army, with the assistance of the fortifications, to stop the 30,000 Wara cavalry in the city.

"Back to Shen Ge Lao, there are no 60,000 troops in Yizhou City, only 40,000 are still besieging the city, and the other 20,000 were urgently ordered by Zhu Dudu to retreat to Ningyuan City."

"Then why did you send 20,000 people to retreat to Ningyuan City?"

Shen Yichen was completely lost now, Ning Yuancheng himself also sent troops to besiege Yizhou, but Zhu Yi came to do the opposite. The two most important troops and horses led by the chief have all been captured, so is it necessary to focus so much on defending the rear road?

"I don't know, Zhu Dudu should have a detailed account in the military report

Describe it in detail."

In order to ensure the morale and morale of the besieged city, Zhu Yi only notified the main generals, and the low-level soldiers did not know what was happening.

Hearing the reminder of the scout who passed on the military information, Shen Yichenmeng reacted, and quickly opened the military information in his hand and scanned it carefully, only then did he understand what was happening in the rear.

"What a fucking ridiculousness!"

After reading it, Shen Yichen immediately scolded angrily, startling all the generals present.

You must know that after the officialdom is in a high position, what you pay attention to is that you are moody and angry, let alone this kind of undisguised scolding. Shen Yichen hadn't been so "rude" for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the center of the court was too bastard, he wouldn't have moved such a big liver fire.

After all, it's one thing to fight, and it's another thing to lose the grievance of losing a crime of not war!

"North, what's wrong?"

Li Da on the side saw Shen Yichen's angry appearance, and hurriedly asked.

"The imperial court withheld the salary of the Xuanda border army and used it to pay the arrears of the clan, which led to the defeat of the expedition of the loyal prince Shiheng, and the fall of 20,000 soldiers of the Hundred and Multilateral Army in the garrison of the three guards of Wuliangha."

"The armor and banner of the Ming army that we just found are the trophies captured by the Tartars, and there is really a group of corpses in the court!"

The more Shen Yichen felt angry, the Ming army's wartime behavior of deducting food and salaries should normally appear at the end of the dynasty. Now the treasury is indeed a little tight, but it is far from the time when it is necessary to default on the salary of the border army, could it be that Chen Xun, Jin Lian, and even Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu don't know what the consequences of doing this will be?

There is a "joke" in later generations, which is called that the Ming army is not satisfied with the salary, and the full salary is invincible, where is the full salary? Eight Banners of Outsiders!

From a historical point of view, this sentence is really not a joke, and the arrears of food and salary in the late Ming Dynasty are really a common behavior, and it can be said that there is no full salary. Even the most elite anti-Japanese Qi family army was deceived into going to the martial arts arena to be massacred because of asking for monthly salary.

That's right, it was the Qi family army that returned from the expedition to Korea after the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese War, and the Qi family army, who nominally fought for the country and should enjoy heroic treatment, encountered the fate of being killed.

Only in the "History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Wang Bao" left such a sentence, "The soldiers of the southern battalion of the Jisanxie, recruited by Qi Jiguang, transferred to attack North Korea, retreated, Daoshimen, made noise, and increased the monthly salary. Bao Lure ordered to go to the martial arts arena, hit it, and kill hundreds of people."

However, Shen Yichen's accusations and dissatisfaction, if Chen Xun, Jin Lian and others knew about it, it is estimated that there would be some injustice in his heart. They didn't expect that Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, would be so brave, or so reckless, leading tens of thousands of people to fight outside the fortress.

If we had known in advance, it would have been estimated that no matter how empty the treasury was, we would have tried to find a way to get some money out of other places first.

After listening to Shen Yichen's description, the generals of the Ming army present were also full of righteous indignation, and the central ministers were at the height of the temple, and they didn't realize that the monthly salary of the low-level soldiers was only enough to wrap their stomachs. This bonus means that they can give their family a full meal with a little oil, or they can buy a few sweets for their children.

On the contrary, the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, do they need this ration of rice grain?

It's just that limited by their status as military generals, they can't scold them directly like Shen Yichen, so they can only suppress their anger in their chests.

"Shen Ge Lao, also break through to the north first, there are 80,000 armored soldiers assembled by the Wuliang Ha Sanwei in the south, what should we do next, should we rush to the aid of Ningyuan City or return to Yizhou City first?"

After all, Wu Rui is different from the local and border generals, he often lives in Beijing with Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and he has long been surprised by the behavior of the central civil official group of the imperial court to ignore the border pass soldiers.

Relying on anger alone cannot change the tradition of civil respect and martial humility in the entire system, we can only look forward to the resumption of the grandfather and the civil official in charge of martial arts like Shen Yichen standing at the peak of power, so that we can truly understand the suffering of the low-level soldiers, so as to make changes in treatment and status.

Now it is imperative to win this war against the three guards of Wuliang Ha, so that Shen Yichen can get the achievements of opening up the territory and make steady progress!

In the face of Wu Rui's inquiry, Shen

Yichen had a solemn look on his face, and he was thinking wildly about what he would do next if he stood in Yexian's position.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Yichen slowly spoke, "We won't go to Ningyuan City, nor will we go to Yizhou City."

"Where to go?"

"Just transfer from the Chahar steppe and surprise the 80,000 armored soldiers of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei!"

Shen Yichen's expression showed a touch of ruthlessness, he led all the cavalry units of the Ming Expeditionary Army, and he did not lose to the Mongols in mobile transfer. Instead of being led by the nose first, it is better to learn the tactics of a great man in later generations, you fight yours, I beat mine!

After so many years of hostility, Shen Yichen didn't dare to say that he had completely figured it out, at least the other party's temperament and behavioral characteristics could guess eight or nine.

The main force of the Mongol army was defeated on the steppe, the soldiers and horses of the Zhuros tribe were annihilated, and the city of Yizhou was recaptured by the Ming army within a few days. It can be said that in addition to defeating the Xuanda border army of Zhongguo Gong Shiheng, he picked up an unexpected advantage, and first planned to cut off the western Liaoxi corridor and occupy the strategic goal of the eastern Liaodong capital, but none of them were achieved.

Returning to the grassland after ending the war in such a disgraced manner is definitely not in line with the character of this kind of hero, and he must find a way to get back to the field. Going north instead of fleeing west is the best proof that he is ready to make a comeback.

In recent years, under the "domestication" of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen three divisions have gradually developed a social backbone structure from the initial appearance of savages, and they can completely find ways to pull out tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers to supplement the source of soldiers.

"Elder Shen Ge, are we going to continue the unfinished Wuliang Ha Sanwei campaign?"

Han Bin licked his chapped lips, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, opening up the territory is the supreme dream of a military general, who doesn't want to seal the wolf Juxu, drink Ma Hanhai, and finally leave a strong mark in the history books?

Killing and conquest are the eternal theme of history!

"Of course, the three guards of Wuliang Ha have a heart of disobedience, and they must be recruited to set an example, so that the vassal states can see the fate of betraying the Ming Dynasty."

Shen Yichen's words were extremely cold, he never believed in any royal Taoism, and even more believed in the sword in the hands of the Great Ming Tiger.

"But if we go south to conquer the three guards of Wuliangha, Zhu Dudu will have to face it alone, will there be a problem?"

After all, Feng Zheng is a Dusi-level official, considering the problem more from the overall situation, without the existence of mobile troops such as cavalry, the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Yi are only left to defend passively, and if they are not careful, they will be easily defeated one by one.

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, a surging smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yichen's mouth, and then he said meaningfully: "You underestimate Zhu Dudu, he has learned to use sea ships to transfer troops on a large scale in a short period of time, and his deployment ability is not under his own officials."

"What's more, Zhu Dudu still has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he gets reinforcements from the three Jurchen tribes first, there is still not much disadvantage in numbers. If the city and location are still unstable under the same situation, how can he inherit the mantle of the grandfather and become the prince of the Ming Dynasty!"

Shen Yichen has seen many people, including Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but he has never despised his blood brother Zhu Yi.

The Liaodong Capital Division is in the hands of Zhu Yi, and he doesn't dare to say anything impregnable, at least he doesn't have to worry about losing the city and losing his land. In a sense, Shen Yichen dared to take the risk of not returning to defense, and directly went south to raid the three guards of Wuliangha, because his back was stable enough!

"That's right, the eldest prince is a real general, Feng Dusi don't have to worry."

Li Dabang Shen Yichen echoed, after all, he grew up with the family school in the outer courtyard of Tianfu, and he has a deep understanding of Zhu Yi's talent and ability, and he also has full confidence.

"Yes, the last will understand."

Shen Yichen and Li Da both said so, Feng Zheng naturally didn't question it anymore, and stepped aside after clenching his fists.

Seeing that his subordinates raised all kinds of questions, but there was only one of the most critical questions that he didn't say, Shen Yichen asked in playful words, "What, you are difficult

Dao doesn't care, this official only has 30,000 soldiers and horses left, but he has to face the 80,000 armored soldiers of Wuliangha Sanwei, can he beat it?"

Shen Yichen's question was thrown, and everyone on the left and right sides was stunned for a few seconds, indeed there was a huge disparity in strength, and the Xuanda border army suffered a crushing defeat and could not be reinforced, which meant that the soldiers of the conscription army could be one enemy and three.

Chen Tang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty who once said that "those who commit strong men in the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", also said a famous saying, called "The Hu people's blades are simple and blunt, and the bow and crossbow are unfavorable, and the former is one Han soldier with five people." Now I hear that it is quite skillful of the Han, but it is still three and one."

This is the famous Yihan dang Wuhu!

But after all, it was a thousand years ago, and after experiencing the weapons of the nomads after the Song and Yuan dynasties, they were actually not inferior to the Han army, and they still had a certain lead at some moments.

This stunned look only reacted in an instant, and Li Da said with disdain on his face: "Wuliang Ha Sanwei is just a group of pigs and sheep, 30,000 enemies and 80,000, how to be afraid!"

As soon as Li Da's words came out, Feng Zheng, Han Bin and other Ming army generals all had contemptuous smiles on their faces. Even the Great Ming soldiers who were standing farther away were casually playing with the steel knives in their hands, they didn't say a word, but their expressions and demeanors expressed everything!
