Orthodox 14, November 17.

First snow.

Outside Juyong Pass, the snow-capped man, the main general Luo Tong stood at the head of the city, looking at the faint fire in the Wara camp in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Fortunately, the sky protects the Ming Dynasty, and the sky rains snow, otherwise Juyongguan is afraid that it will be difficult to hold today."

"Governor, Yu Qian, the acting secretary of the military department, and Shi Heng, the chief military officer of Beijing, are here!" A Qian always pointed to the front and said.

Luo Tong hurriedly said: "Hurry up and open the city to welcome!" ”

As the gate of Juyong Pass opened, the cavalry in the distance gradually approached, led by Yu Qian, Shi Heng and his entourage of troops who came from Beijing.

Luo Tong saluted: "See Yu Shangshu, I have seen Shi Zongzhen." ”

Shi Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are so smart, you know that you will take water to water the city, and you will definitely do something in the future!" ”

Luo Tong hurriedly excused himself: "Don't dare to be, it's because God has eyes, if it weren't for the sharp drop last night and the snow falling from the sky, the last general would have tried his best, and it would be difficult to hold the city." ”

"Ruixue Mega Year!" Along the way, Yu Qian was full of emotion and said:

"Luo Dudu, this time thanks to you for guarding the city, otherwise even if we bring out these heavy artillery, it will be useless, and the headquarters will ask Your Majesty for credit."

Only then did Luo Tong notice these cannons that were being pulled, walked over to take a closer look, and said, "Why have you never seen these cannons at the border gate?" ”

"Could it be that the imperial court produced it this year?"

"No, it's been produced a long time ago." Shi Heng came to a cannon engraved with more than 1,100 numbers of the Son of Heaven and said:

"This general's cannon, the muzzle of which is as big as a bowl, was produced together with Yongle in the eleventh year of Yongle, but it has been strictly controlled by the imperial court and has not been issued to the border gates."

Luo Tong pressed his hand on the body of the general's cannon and sighed:

"The imperial court should really relax the control of this kind of heavy artillery, if there is such heavy artillery in the city, there is no need to wait until this morning, I can shell the camp of Warat last night!"

Yu Qian walked towards the city and said: "This is the ancestral system left by Emperor Taizongwen, and the heavy artillery such as the general cannon can only be manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau and the Inner Government Staff Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing Division. ”

"For fear of technology leakage, I will be learned by those barbarians."

When Luo Tong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Emperor Taizongwen's foresight and wisdom have made the last general admire!" ”

"Yu Shangshu, Shi Zongzhen, Juyongguan small town and small land, there is nothing to entertain with coarse tea and light rice, and the last general will order his subordinates to set up a banquet for the two of them, and I hope not to blame."

Shi Heng walked in, looked around the city, and laughed:

"Then there is no need, when I came, I took a lot of horses from Wara's hands, slaughtered more than ten or twenty horses, and drank wine and ate meat with the brothers in Guannai, celebrated, and then returned to Beijing!"

Luo Tong smiled: "That's very good, Mr. Shi, please!" ”

The two had already walked in side by side, but it was Yu Qian, who stood at the city gate and looked around a few times after entering the city, as if he was inspecting the city defense of Juyong Pass.

Seeing that Shi Heng's subordinate soldiers were about to kill the horse, Yu Qian immediately reprimanded him sternly, saying: "Wara horses are stronger than the Central Plains, and they are rare strategic materials, how can they kill horses?" ”

"Luo Dudu, the headquarters is ordered to pursue the remnants of Warat, this battle is not over yet, and it is necessary to completely force Yeyi out of Gyeonggi first, so there will be no more left."

After saying that, turn around and leave.

"Yu Shangshu! Yu Shangshu? Luo Tong didn't stop after a few words, turned around and looked at Shi Heng with some embarrassment, and smiled helplessly: "This... This Yu Shangshu is really a rectum..."

Shi Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face was a little unbearable.

Luo Tong and the surrounding Juyongguan soldiers, as well as Shi Heng's subordinates, all looked at each other.

Indeed, this Yu Qian also didn't give Shi Heng, the deputy commander-in-chief, face.

Anyway, Shi Heng is also the chief military officer in Beijing, and for a long time, Yu Qian didn't mention how he called and drank, and everyone saw it.

It's better to leave without saying a word?

Luo Tong saw that the atmosphere was a little delicate, so he had to come out to be a peacemaker, and said: "It may be that Yu Shangshu is old and his ears are not very good." ”

"Do you want to send someone to chase after you in the end?"

"Humph!" Shi Heng snorted coldly, waved his hand to stop: "What is the age, I didn't see him have bad ears when I went into battle, this matter has nothing to do with you, he just doesn't like the town." ”

"This is my matter with Yu Qian, new hatred and old accounts, sooner or later!"

Luo Tong asked, "Then, do you still eat wine and meat?" ”

"What else to eat?" Shi Heng sneered: "Everyone has spoken in Dashangshu, Warama are all strategic materials, how dare I disobey a vulgar martial artist?" ”

"Don't kill a few Warama at that time, and then kill Lao Tzu!"

After saying these yin and yang strange words, Shi Heng also walked down the steps, turned on his horse, and quickly chased after his subordinates with a group of cavalry.

After they left, the deputy general slowly moved over and said, "Governor, this Yu Shangshu and Shi Zongzhen are not used to each other, we are not human beings inside and outside." ”

Luo Tong sighed and said, "Isn't it, the taste of being caught in the middle, this is much more uncomfortable than asking me to besiege me first." ”

"Fortunately, it's not in the capital, otherwise it will be sandwiched between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, so it's enough to feel comfortable."

"Pass my military order, send people out to clean the Wara camp, and pick up all the useful and useless things you see, we don't have much ordnance in the first place."

"Okay! The deputy general said helplessly: "This is to take people out of the city." ”

......

He was still being chased by Yu Qian and Shi Heng and fled in embarrassment, but the Mongolian envoy had already arrived in Beijing in the afternoon of the same day.

The branch that came is the remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the true sense.

Present-day Mongolia is mainly divided into Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia, as well as many small tribes that are attached to most of the eastern and western parts of Mongolia, respectively.

Western Mongolia is the leader of the first Warat, and Eastern Mongolia is called Tatar.

In later generations, Warat was also known as Oirat Mongolia, and its interior was also divided into five major parts, namely Dzungaria, Heshut, Dulbert, Turgot, and Onniut.

The branch that was crippled by Yu Qian and Shi Heng outside the Desheng Gate was the one who took the Mao Na child as the leader and was attached to the Weng Niu Special Department of Yexian.

Weng Niu was a loyal subordinate of Yexian, and suffered heavy losses outside the Desheng Gate, which was equivalent to the decline of Yexian's status as the overlord of the grassland on the grassland.

In fact, in the true sense of the word, Warat does not belong to the Mongols.

If you have to go back hard, Western Mongolia, that is, today's Tatar Department, is the orthodox Mongolia left by Genghis Khan Temujin.

In the earliest days, the Warats did not belong to the Mongols, but were an independent tribe living in the Bahe region.

The leader of the Tatars is called Totobuhua, and he also has a surname, and he is only a catty.

As the leader of the Eastern Mongolian Tatar tribe and the orthodox descendant of the Golden Family, Totokh Buhua is the Mongolian Khan with strong roots and the co-ruler of the steppe.

The problem is that he is now almost equivalent to a puppet.

Why say almost?

Because Tokhtarbuhua has a very strong Taishi under him, his name is Rose Yexian.

The origin of these two people has to start from their parents.

Tokhtambuhua's father, Ah Zhai, is committed to restoring the glory of the Golden Family in the time of Temujin, but the problem is that he has no soldiers and no power, and no one listens to him at all.

What to do?

So he set his sights on the mighty Western Mongolia, that is, Warat, the leader of Warat at that time was not also the first, but his father Tuhuan.

Tuhuan conquered the east and west, used coercion and temptation to use various means, anyway, nominally unified the whole of Mongolia, but he could not stand on his own as a khan.

Because the Khan of Mongolia can only be a descendant of the Golden Family, Warat is not even a special Mongol in the true sense.

As soon as he heard that Tuhuan was going to become a khan, the whole of Mongolia was opposed, and the crowd was indignant.

At this time, Azhai happened to come, and the two hit it off.

In the name of Azhai as a descendant of the Golden Family, Tuhuan set up Azhai's son Tokhunhua as the Mongolian Khan and became the Taishi himself, that is, the second leader, which stabilized the situation.

Azhai also borrowed the power of Warat to restore the influence of the Golden Family in Mongolia in disguise.

It doesn't matter how you become it, and it doesn't matter if you talk well or not, anyway, the Golden Family is now the Khan of the Mongol Empire, and the result is the most important.

That is to say, with the help of Warat, Tokhtar did not spend to have this Mongolian Khandang.

But it's a pity that the power of the Khan of Tokhtar Buhua is simply a younger brother compared to the Warat in the hands of Yexian, and it can't be said that it can't be beaten, but it can only be said that it is not at the same level at all.

But in fact, there are still a considerable number of soldiers and horses in the hands of Tokhtobuhua, and most of the Eastern Mongolia are disobedient to Warayang, and they are loyal to the Golden Family in their hearts.

After winning the great victory of Tumubao first, the troops were divided into three routes, one of which was the Eastern Mongolia led by Totokhunhua.

But compared to Yexian's desperate siege of the city, Tokhok Buhua is a little calm, because until now, his troops have not fought a battle with the Ming army.

As soon as he heard that he was also defeated in the city of Beijing, he was happier than Zhu Di, so he immediately sent an envoy over to negotiate peace.
