Chapter 262: My name is Li Dingguo
"Kill!"
"Hughβ"
On the first day of the seventh month, when the Ming Dynasty was busy with natural disasters and party disputes, a war broke out in the vast land of northern Liao.
Overlooking the sky, the two white flags in white armor are leading tens of thousands of Mongols to fight other Mongols in one city.
Not only that, but there were tens of thousands of Mongols outside the city colliding and confronting each other.
This is the fried flower city of the Turkbarian (Inner Khalkha) Ministry, and today it was supposed to be the annual meeting of the Tuban Ministry, but the alliance was disrupted by uninvited guests.
"Tell Huang Taiji! I want seventy percent of people and iron! β
At the edge of the battlefield, in the center of thousands of guards, under the Great Khan of the Mongols, a very young Mongol was giving an arrogant order to a Han man beside him.
"Hehe, Great Khan, please rest assured, Lord Belle said, you can take all the iron, and the armor and stomach will also belong to you, we only need all the Han and Sancheng Mongols in the barbarians."
A familiar voice sounded, and Fan Wencheng, who had a flattering face, respectfully returned the salute to this young Mongolian, and this person was naturally Lin Dan Batur, who called himself the Great Khan of Mongolia, and was also called the Chahar Lin Dan Khan of Tiger Rabbit Dun by the Ming monarch.
While they were talking, a large army on the battlefield slaughtered where they were, and just as they were about to reach the front of the battle, they were quickly stopped by the cavalry of Chahar.
But even so, the distance between the two sides is only a few hundred steps.
Lin Dan Khan could clearly see that the Mongols of the barbarian tribe were slaughtered by his own men, and he had no idea about it.
Anyway, the barbarians have always disobeyed him, and since this is the case, it is better to slaughter and swallow them!
"Abu! Huang Taiji led his troops into the city, in case the city was lost......"
In the midst of the chaos, Fried Flower's son spoke to Fried Flower, and Fried Flower also glanced at the situation on the battlefield, but found that he was unable to divide his troops at all.
Lin Dan Khan, Huang Taiji, and Oba of the Horqin tribe alliance leader entangled 40,000 soldiers and horses to go south, but they only had 26,000 soldiers and horses here.
The army suffered a surprise attack, thousands of casualties, and now it has no strength to protect itself, how can it break through?
"Lin Dan Batur, you actually colluded with Huang Taiji to slaughter my subordinates!"
Thinking of this, Fried Flower yelled angrily, but his voice disappeared completely after only a few feet of transmission in the chaotic army.
He turned his head sideways to look at Zhong Nengbel and asked loudly, "Haven't Daning's reinforcements come yet?!" β
"At least two more hours!" Zhong Nen responded loudly while killing the enemy.
There are at least ninety miles from the Fried Flower City to Liaohe County, the northernmost part of the Ming Army, and the current Fried Flower only hates Xiong Tingbi when he proposed to garrison a Ming army in the Fried Flower City, and he rejected the other party's suggestion.
If he had promised to come down, at least one battalion of Ming troops would have been stationed here now.
It was a battalion of Ming troops with a chariot battalion, and if they were there, tens of thousands of people might not be able to attack the formation even if the enemy army had no artillery.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now, and it's impossible for the Ming army to come to the aid of a distance of nearly 100 miles in an instant......
"Kill!"
In indignation, the fried flowers led people to kill in the direction of Lin Dan Khan, and was finally swallowed by the enemy.
When the sun set two hours later, He Shixian, who arrived here with 9,000 cavalry, saw only thousands of corpses, and the city of fried flowers being burned.
"Clean up the battlefield, tell the news to the other barbarian tribes by the way, release the pond cavalry, and see where the enemy army has withdrawn!"
Riding on horseback, He Shixian commanded the soldiers and horses under his command in an orderly manner, which was much more mature than two years ago.
When the soldiers and horses under his command began to do what he said, he also glanced at the burned fried flower city, and couldn't help but scold:
"You want to save face, and now I have to help you wipe your ass!"
He Shixian cursed, and after two quarters of an hour, his men found the beheaded fried flowers on the battlefield, as well as the corpses of the leaders of the barbarian tribes.
Seeing this, He Shixian also knew that this was a good time to annex the barbarians, so he immediately said to the people behind him:
"Eight hundred miles urgently, send the news back to Shenyang and tell Xiong Jingluo!"
"Yes......"
The cavalry rode back to Shenyang overnight, and He Shixian also divided the soldiers and horses into three groups and went to the three major tribes of the barbarians, preparing to stabilize the bereaved families of each Taiji.
And when the news was sent back to Shenyang, it was already dawn the next day, and Xiong Tingbi, who received the news, was so angry that he didn't even drink the porridge, and scolded directly:
"When I heard that the battalion of soldiers and horses stationed in me had nothing to do, I wanted to save face, and now I ended up separated by one person!"
"The most important thing at the moment is to solve the barbarian matter, His Highness is far away in northern Shaanxi, and it is too late to wait for the news to arrive." As soon as Xiong Tingbi finished scolding, Yuan Yingtai picked up the conversation:
"According to His Highness's temperament, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the killing of many Taiji of fried flowers and the barbarians, and take the opportunity to recover the barbarian tribes and set up Taining Mansion."
"It's just that right now, Jianyu, Horqin and Hutudun are mixed together, and we can't know whether they have a short-term alliance or a long-term alliance."
"If it's a long-term alliance, will they win over Karaqin? Uncle Huang is a villain, but he has always been an enemy of my Ming Dynasty in his early years. β
"If they're trying to win over Bo and we take the opportunity to reclaim Taining, then things won't be easy."
Yuan Yingtai's words are not unreasonable, they are blind at the moment, and Jinyiwei did not send back the news of the alliance between Jianyu and Chahar, and it is normal for them to not know how to do it for a while.
In this regard, Xiong Tingbi was also in a dilemma, but as soon as he thought of the matter of Hetao, he immediately made a decision:
"His Highness has taken the Hetao, so it is also an indirect threat to Karaqin."
"If Bo is moved, then he will inevitably send troops, whether we recover the three major tribes of the barbarians or not."
"What's more, there are Shangzhi guards in Beizhili, although there are no four cavalry guards and Daning three guards, but there are other nine guards and many Shangzhi Gong guard battalions."
"I mean, first recover the three major tribes of the barbarians!"
"Yes, but I'm afraid we need to play long live, and continue to increase troops to temporarily stabilize the three major departments." Yuan Yingtai thought much more thoughtfully than Xiong Tingbi.
"Send six more battalions, counting He Shixian's three battalions, there will be a total of nine battalions of soldiers and horses, and the old man will personally lead the troops."
Xiong Tingbi wanted to rush to the three major departments of the barbarians in person, and such a move also showed the urgency of the matter.
Yuan Yingtai didn't stop him, but just sent someone to send the news to the capital after the two sides discussed.
It's just that they didn't know that at the same time as they set off, the Bo Huang of Karaqin would not allow them to win them over, so they had already raised troops to attack Baima Pass......
"Put!"
"Peng Peng Pengβ"
Outside the White Horse Pass, the Hushi Market in the middle of the mountain road has been burned down, and the Bo Huang Gang outside the Pass is leading more than 10,000 iron horsemen and 20,000 rangers to loot in the Hushi Market.
At the White Horse Pass, He Shouyi, a thousand households of Jinwuwei, held a clairing mirror and saw the burning of the market and the picture of the 30,000 cavalry of Karaqin.
"The heart of the Hulu is cunning! When reinforcements arrive, they will kill him! β
He Shouyi smashed his fist on the female wall, and the deputy Qianhu next to him persuaded him:
"Fortunately, everyone has withdrawn, and fortunately, the people below have noticed that this group of guys has bad intentions, otherwise I am afraid that the market will be burned down, and the merchants of the imperial store will also be intercepted and killed."
"What's good? That is, we are not cavalry, otherwise I would have rushed out and cut off the head of the dumb dog! He Shouyi scolded and scolded.
Why did they get this kind of backstabbing in the back? The more than 10,000 iron horsemen of this stupid man have all relied on the mutual market accumulated in the past few years, and now it is better, use the iron of the Ming Dynasty to fight the Ming Dynasty!
"The news has been transmitted back to the Yanshan camp, the camp is only seventy miles away from here, and there are two guards, Shence and Leopard Tao, at most the army will arrive tomorrow."
Deputy Qianhu was still comforting He Shouyi, but He Shouyi gritted his teeth:
"If it weren't for the fact that the Three Guards Cavalry had been transferred to fight the Hetao and hadn't come back, they would have to make Bo faint and bloody here today."
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's calculate the loss of the imperial store, the news of the rebellion of the Bo Huang gang is known to His Royal Highness, and I'm afraid the second sweep of the north is not far away."
"If His Highness sweeps the north, I would rather be a pawn of the four cavalry guards, in short, I have to kill a few barbarians from Karaqin to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
He Shouyi is still scolding, and there are not a few people who are scolding and scolding like him, after all, what Bo Xuan has done can be said to be slapping a straight face.
Not only the Shangzhi troops at Baima Pass, but also when the news came back to the Yanshan camp, the soldiers of Shence and Baotao, who were resting today, also scolded and loaded their armor into the car and began a rapid march to the north to help.
The students of Yanshan Academy heard the alarm whistle, and everyone ran out of the school and saw the army heading north.
Listening to the army's invective, they also understood what was going on.
"I'll just say that this group of Hulu can't be trusted, Your Highness should have cleaned them up before setting out on the expedition!"
"You shouldn't be able to get in, right?"
"How is it possible to get in? There are 1,000 troops in Baima Pass, and even if there is artillery, it can't get in. β
"In the future, it seems that you have to be careful when you go to the battlefield, this group of Hulu does not admit their kindness, be careful of their stabbing in the back."
There were shouts and curses at the gates of several universities, some people were worried, and some people vented their anger.
"Big brother, do you think Your Highness will send troops to sweep the north again after he comes back?"
In the crowd, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy pulled a weak-crowned young man in front of him, and this person also turned his head and subconsciously replied:
"Of course! How could His Highness suffer! That is, we haven't graduated this year, otherwise I would have to join the army and kill two Tartars after all! β
"Okay, okay, Li Zicheng, don't brag, just kill the Tartars, my eldest brother hasn't said anything!"
As soon as Li Zicheng spoke, he was taunted by a young man next to him.
When Li Zicheng heard the sound, he saw his nemesis Cao Ruijiao, and next to Cao Ruijiao was the burly and tall Cao Bianjiao, and the well-proportioned Cao Dingjiao.
Although Cao Bianjiao was only sixteen years old, he was far larger than Li Zicheng, reaching a height of five feet and six inches, not to mention his figure, and his figure was still very burly.
In the previous examinations of the academy, Cao Bianjiao almost overwhelmed various martial arts such as riding and archery, and Li Zicheng could only succumb to him.
But this does not mean that Li Zicheng's force is comparable to Cao Bianjiao, but that there is no other ranking among them.
In the competition of corner resistance, Li Zicheng was thrown to the ground by Cao Bianjiao almost in front of him, and he never even had a chance to resist.
So after finding that Cao Bianjiao was looking at him, Li Zicheng avoided the other party's eyes with a weak heart, but the next second he realized that there were many people and immediately looked back.
As a result, at such a short time, Cao Bianjiao turned around and left the crowd with Cao Dingjiao and Cao Ruijiao.
Obviously, in Cao Bianjiao's opinion, it is not interesting to scold, it is better to study martial arts and the art of war diligently, and wait until he graduates in September next year to go to the battlefield and kill a few Tartars.
There are not a few people who think the same way as Cao Bianjiao, even if it is Li Zicheng, if it weren't for his younger brother Li Zijing to ask, I'm afraid he wouldn't bother to speak.
Therefore, after their group of leaders left, the remaining group of students slowly dispersed, until finally the army completely disappeared into the horizon, and all the students also left the city gate.
It's just that the students' abuse has ended, but the capital has just begun.
"Bastard! Where am I sorry for this group of Hulu?! It's only been five years since he returned to Shun, and he rebelled again while his younger brother was leading the troops?! β
"Bang-"
In the Qianqing Palace, when the sound of smashing things sounded, Zhu Youxiao's angry and invective voice also made the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace tremble, and their hearts were afraid.
Not to mention them, even the five eunuchs also closed their mouths at this moment, bowing their heads and waiting for the emperor's anger to disappear.
It's just that they obviously underestimated Zhu Youxiao's temper.
Perhaps it is the addition of many merits that have given Zhu Youxiao a feeling of being strong and powerful, so now he is more proud than he was in history, so proud that he can't tolerate anyone other than Zhu Youzhen to offend him.
is the Hakka family, and he has complained a lot in recent years, and this phenomenon has never been seen before.
Think about it, no matter in terms of territory, martial arts, or cultural governance, the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of the Apocalypse is far more than a dozen emperors of the previous Ming Dynasty, and only Hongwu and Yongle can suppress the Apocalypse.
was backstabbed by the subordinate tribes, and also burned down the royal store bazaar of the royal money bag, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face, a slap in the face of Daming, a slap in the face of Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to know how Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan persuaded Bo Huang to rebel, he just wanted Bo Huang to die, and he wanted Karaqin to die!
"Message!"
Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth suddenly, and said with anger in his anger:
"With Sun Yingyuan, the governor of the Eastern Army, as the governor of the northern expedition, mobilizing the eastern army from all over the country, I want to see the head of the Bo Huang gang in front of the Taimiao before the end of the year!"
"Long live ......" Hearing this, no matter how scared they were, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen still knelt on the ground at once, and persuaded in a wailing voice:
"At present, the battle of Hetao has just ended, Shaanxi and Shandong have suffered a catastrophe, and the reward and pension silver of the soldiers of the battle of Hetao have not yet been issued.
As soon as the words of the two were spoken, Zhu Youxiao's originally suppressed anger was a little uncontrollable, and he waved his hand and smashed the expensive inkstone on the table on the gold bricks in the hall:
"The autumn harvest is only three months away, what can't be paid? How? My brother is not here, and even you have to be disobedient?! β
"The slave doesn't dare, it's just ......" Cao Huachun wanted to explain, but Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said:
"Wei Zhongxian, you drafted a decree and ordered Sun Yingyuan to return to Beijing as soon as possible to discuss the matter of conquering the north!"
"Slave maid...... The leader ...... Wei Zhongxian was also a little embarrassed, he was afraid that if he didn't do it, he would make the emperor unhappy, but he was afraid that he would do it, and then Zhu Youzhen was dissatisfied with him.
"Let's all get out!"
Hearing that someone was doing something, Zhu Youxiao motioned for everyone to go out, and the helpless Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen could only respond, get up and salute and then exit the hall.
However, when the five of them left only a quarter of an hour, Zhu Youxiao regretted it.
He was angry just now, which is why he lost his temper so much, but now that he calmed down, he also felt that this was not a good time to fight.
It's just that as the Son of Heaven, the emperor's majesty cannot be lost, so even if he knows that he is wrong, he still holds his face.
"Drag it until my brother comes back, it's ......"
Thinking that although he couldn't stop the issuance of the holy decree halfway, he could drag Sun Yingyuan to temporarily not lead the troops to the battle, Zhu Youxiao had an idea, so he immediately said to Wang Ti at the door:
"Wang Tiqian, ordered people to expedite 800 miles, urging his younger brother to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
"The slave and maid receive the order...... Wang Tiqian was relieved when he heard this.
He has followed Zhu Youxiao for so many years, so he naturally knows what kind of character Zhu Youxiao is.
At the moment, although the other party did not stop the transmission of the holy decree, urging His Royal Highness King Qi to return to Beijing was the best way to soften.
I'm afraid that when His Royal Highness King Qi returns to Beijing, the commander of the expedition to the north will be replaced.
Thinking so, Wang Tiqian also ordered people to rush to Yan'an for 800 miles, and this expedited was almost delivered to him within a quarter of an hour after Zhu Youzhen received the military information from Cao Wenzhao.
ββββββ
"Your Highness, long live, please return to Beijing as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation, as for the affairs of northern Shaanxi, just leave it to Xu Bu's political envoy."
In the snow, the brocade guards who came from the capital in a hurry conveyed the emperor's meaning to Zhu Youzhen in the car, and Zhu Youzhen also bowed slightly with a somewhat pale face:
"I know, you will return to the capital after a day of rest, and tell the imperial brother that he will leave to return to Beijing in the near future, as for the matter of sweeping the north, let's do it first, and wait for me to go back."
"Humble and orderly......" Jinyi Wei returned the salute when he heard this, and then got up and returned to the Jinyi Guard who was with the army behind him according to his rank.
When Zhu Youzhen received the military information from Liaodong, he had already issued an order to return to Yan'an Mansion, and now this Jinyi guard is also preparing to go back to Yan'an to rest for one night and embark on the way back tomorrow morning.
At the same time as he returned to the team, Wang Kentang, who was sitting in front of Zhu Youzhen, closed the window, and then looked at Zhu Youzhen worriedly:
"Your Highness, your current state should be well cultivated, if you travel a long distance, I am afraid that your condition will worsen."
"How can I not know ......" pinched the mountain roots, and Zhu Youzhen, who felt a little more comfortable, sighed and said:
"All living beings are suffering, how can loneliness escape? The personal body is small, and the war and state affairs are large. β
"Rest for two days, and then return to Beijing after the four cavalry guards are mobilized."
"This ......" Wang Kentang didn't know how to answer what Zhu Youzhen said, so he could only sigh: "Yes......"
With that, he pushed open the door, got out of the car, and returned to his carriage while the convoy was still moving.
After a short time, the convoy continued to embark on the road back to Yan'an, until dusk, the convoy returned to Yan'an Mansion, and Zhu Youzhen also fell asleep wrapped in a futon after drinking the medicine.
It's just that he had a good night's rest, and the next day, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai had to get up to deal with the military information sent by them.
The military information was drafted and sent by Huang Taiji for four days after attacking the Tuman, and at the same time, Lu Wenzhao was also sent about the attack, and the reason why Beizhen Fusi did not react.
Zhu Youzhen first looked at Xiong Tingbi's handwriting, which simply described the barbarian affairs.
The thing is very simple, it is nothing more than the panic after the three major ministries learned that the fried flower department was razed, and the fried flower and many Taiji and Baylor died.
According to what he and Yuan Yingtai agreed, Xiong Tingbi took the opportunity to collect the remnants of the three major departments, and then promised to move them to Daning Mansion for grazing, and easily solved the affairs of the three major departments.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong opened up more than 300 miles to the northwest, and together with the recovered Hetao, the Karaqin in the middle was completely surrounded.
After that, Xiong Tingbi asked for the establishment of Taining Mansion, but the capital did not respond, and the handwritten letter was sent to Zhu Youzhen.
Regarding Xiong Tingbi's approach, Zhu Youzhen felt that there was no problem, so he just wrote back to him to strengthen his defense, and at the same time increase the small-scale combat attack on Jianbi, so as not to let them be idle.
Subsequently, he opened Lu Wenzhao's letter, and the content of the letter made him frown slightly.
The content is simple, Nurhachi killed all the North Korean smugglers, and the channel that Beijin Fuji had been using to obtain information was cut off.
It seems that Nurhachi noticed that there were spies of Jinyi Wei among the Koreans and Han Chinese, so he simply killed him.
As for the Karaqin matter, Beizhen Fusi learned about the incident through some tribal leaders who were dissatisfied with Bo Xuan.
The matter is very simple, Huang Taiji sent Fan Wencheng's brother Fan Wenhuan to lobby Bo Tu, and the lobbying words were also very straightforward and simple.
"Zhu Youzhen destroys the three major departments of the Hetao today, and tomorrow he can destroy the barbarians, and the day after tomorrow he can destroy the Karaqin ......"
A simple sentence, coupled with Huang Taiji's promise to trade with the Karaqin tribe with the iron ore of the city of Thorn Lu, the Bo Huang gang thus defected to the side of Jianyu.
In this regard, Zhu Youzhen did not think that Bo Xuan's defection could affect the overall situation.
The reason why he was able to coerce so many small tribes to defect was also because of the strength of his own department.
However, judging from the information obtained by the Fusi of Beizhen, there are many tribes who are dissatisfied with the destruction of the mutual market.
That is to say, as long as the headquarters of the Bo Huang gang is destroyed, the other thirty-five departments of Karaqin will honestly submit to it, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to recover the north of Yanshan and open up another 300 miles of territory to the north.
So after reading the two pieces of information, Zhu Youzhen was not so worried about the affairs of Liaodong, but fell asleep again shortly after drinking the medicine.
It wasn't until he was woken up the next day that he got into a carriage and set foot on the road back to the capital.
It was just a scene that he didn't expect to appear, when the carriage drove out of the range of the yamen.
Thousands of people dressed in cotton clothes issued by the imperial store gathered on both sides of the road, unkempt, and looked at his carriage with their heads outstretched.
"Your Highness, go slowly!"
"Your Highness's kindness, we will remember it for a lifetime!"
"Your Highness, go slowly!"
When some people had the courage to speak, an endless stream of farewell sounds began to resound throughout Yan'an City.
Zhu Youzhen didn't open the window, but he could hear the people's farewell, and at the same time, his heart warmed and he couldn't help but sigh how easy it was for them to be satisfied.
Perhaps for them, the dozens of catties of rice in hand, as well as the cotton clothes on their bodies, are the best gifts of this year.
It's just that these things are just a year or two of taxes levied by the Ming Dynasty from the land in their hands.
"Although Diao Min has ...... But if the court is benevolent, how can the people be troubled......"
Zhu Youzhen sighed, but the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Who?!"
The sound of drawing a knife and scolding suddenly sounded, and Zhu Youzhen also opened the car door when he heard it.
Such a move made the Jinyi guards on both sides nervous, and they all protected him in front of him, for fear that some assassins among the people on both sides of the road would secretly attack.
Zhu Youzhen didn't care about this, he got out of the carriage and glanced at the place surrounded by four horsemen not far in front of the carriage, and stepped forward and walked over.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
The people who saw Zhu Youzhen began to get excited, and Zhu Youzhen also walked into the surrounded place.
He thought it was some kind of vicious person, but he didn't want to push everyone away, but what he saw was a four- or five-year-old child wearing a cotton coat issued by the royal store, and even wearing only torn cotton pants on the lower half of his body, with one bare foot.
"Your Highness! That's my baby! β
"Your Highness spares your life, the doll is ignorant and was squeezed to the front."
Two old peasant couples wearing brand-new cotton clothes issued by the imperial store, but wearing tattered cotton pants and torn cotton shoes, shouted for mercy, Zhu Youzhen glanced at them, and said to the people around him:
"Have you checked it?"
"Back to Your Highness, I have checked it, this is an ordinary child, and there are no sharp weapons on him."
A cavalry guard returned the flag, and Zhu Youzhen shook his head when he heard this, and his subsequent actions surprised everyone.
He bent down and picked up the doll, not caring that the dust on the doll would dirt the precious robe.
Holding the doll, he walked to the stunned old peasant couple, and the ghost made a fool and bowed his head and asked the doll: "What is your name?" β
After that, he was about to give the doll to the old peasant and his wife, and then the doll was reluctant to turn his head to look at him, and said:
"My name is Li Dingguo!"
Look at the brother Zhu Youxiao to remember the domain name for the first time: .w.8.2... mγ 82 Chinese network mobile domain name:
