Chapter 408: Zhengde I, Fearless of the Four Empires!

Yang Yiqing of Guyuan Mansion also heard the news that Zhou Shangwen, the general soldier of Datong, had gone deep into the grassland and defeated the Wanhu tribe not long after.

The moment he heard it, Zhou Shangwen's three words became a little heavier in his heart.

A year and a half ago in the Battle of Huamachi, Zhou Shangwen led his army to fight to the death against the Tatar Fire Sieve Division.

Sure enough, it won't be long before it will shine so brightly.

At that time, Yang Shangyi also served as the deputy general (deputy general) of Datong Mansion in Datong, and the 20,000 elite cavalry were also under him. Although Yang Shangyi is also brave, the Mongols really attacked, he would not be afraid, guarding Datong all the year round, and there would be no mistakes, but he always seemed to feel that it was a little worse.

This may be the difference between ordinary people and famous generals.

Zhou Shangwen was a powerful general in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Zhengde period, it began to show its prominence, and gradually rose to a high position in the Jiajing period, and fought continuously in Datong, Xuanfu, Yulin, and Guyuan, and repeatedly defeated the Mongolian cavalry, but did not suffer defeat.

Moreover, Zhou Shangwen really killed the son of the Tatar Great Khan, and also killed two.

During the Jiajing period, the Tatar Khan Ji Nang attacked the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shangwen led the troops to attack, and Ji Nang's son Ten Kings was beheaded by him.

Later, Ji Nang's younger brother Alta succeeded the Great Khan and came to fight the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Shangwen is already seventy years old, and he still goes to the battlefield.

One of the elder brothers of the Ten Kings, named Man Khan, was very brave, and he was very resentful of Zhou Shangwen beheading his younger brother, but he failed to take revenge, but was shot off the horse by Zhou Shangwen.

Basically, Ji Nang, I Da and my son have not been courted by Zhou Shangwen much.

But Zhou Shangwen has a bad relationship with Yan Song, and he likes to fight with civil officials, so the political environment he is in is actually not so stable. While fighting, you have to take care of the back.

However, it is not false to say that Emperor Jiajing is smart, he knows who can and cannot do things, who can fight and who can't fight, so he ignores slander and always relies on Zhou Shangwen, that is, he knows that he can't do without him.

When Zhou Shangwen died, Yan Song said a word, and Emperor Jiajing did not give Zhou Shangwen a pension according to the courtesy, and the matter was not resolved until Emperor Jiajing's son.

It shows that Jiajing doesn't love and trust him much, if he likes it, with his intelligence, he still doesn't know Yan Song's abacus. In other words, this person is easy to use, that's all.

Use it when you are virtuous, and dethrone it if you are not virtuous!

And Zhu Houzhao remembered this name somewhat, so he noticed these three words when he first saw these three words on the list of cadets of the military academy.

Later, he was repeatedly promoted.

And Zhou Shangwen has an advantage among these martial artists, that is, he 'has been studying since he was a child and knows righteousness'.

In fact, he is a military member, a hereditary commander. I don't know which tendon has moved, but I have been studying since I was a child. It's also smoother to promote this way.

And now, the two wars have made the traverser Zhu Houzhao feel the happiness of holding a famous general!

Zhou Shangwen also emerged earlier than in history, but it is said that it is early, and he is already thirty-two years old.

In contrast, Yang Shangyi, who entered the emperor's field of vision earlier and had Wang Yue as the middleman, also had Xiaosheng, but rarely surprised the emperor.

A Gansu general soldier, although the position is not low, but according to the development of this situation, maybe the next time the army goes out, it will be Zhou Shangwen as the commander, and he is under the tent of the Zhou battalion.

Yang Yiqing No matter what Yang Shangyi thinks, as a courtier, the first thing he has to do is to write a note and go to Beijing to congratulate the emperor. Then, he still sent a letter back to Zhou Shangwen,

The Ming cavalry went out of the fortress, and Gansu also echoed, and they also led their troops across the Great Wall, which was regarded as sharing the pressure for Zhou Shangwen, but they didn't go far and didn't have many results.

Either way, it's a holistic operation.

Moreover, Zhou Shangwen's suppression is also part of the complex set, and the three-year suppression is a major event that has always fallen on his head.

The Hetao area and the Yellow River's 'zigzag' diagram has always been hanging in his governor's palace.

The part in the upper left corner of the zigzag is the south of Yinshan, which is the so-called back set, when the fire sieve department was stationed there, after the first battle of Huamachi, he retreated far away, almost over the Yinshan to the north, but this is not a real set.

Because the fire sieve department still belongs to Dayan Khan in essence, and the two of them are still related, after the strength of the fire sieve department weakened, they lost their hearts and returned to Dayan Khan more completely.

In other words, the main forces of the Tatars are still there.

And the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was just that, at this time they went to the Hetao Plain to reclaim land and grow grain, what is this called? Stocking up on food for the enemy?

Fortunately, when Ming Jun was in power, he gave money and food, and gave people horses, and the two battles can be said to have leveraged the situation in Tatar, and the complex set became more and more similar.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the battle of Huamachi weakened the power of Dayan Khan's fire sieve department.

This time, the Ming army went north out of the Great Wall, and defeated and subdued a right-wing Wanhu.

As the so-called step by step, the remaining ones are the 30,000 households on the left wing led by Dayan Khan himself, and the two 10,000 households on the right wing who are separated from him.

However, the little prince is not an ordinary person, two years, two battles, and the obvious turn of the Ming Dynasty's military strategy may bring his reaction.

On the way back to Beijing, Zhou Shangwen was reading a letter from Yang Yiqing, the elder of the pavilion and the governor of the three sides.

But he fought the Tatars several times in the steppe, and his self-confidence had already been cultivated.

In comparison, the one next to him is even more uncomfortable,

In this capacity, I came to the Daming Jingshi......

He glanced at Ma Rong, who was relatively far behind in their team.

After he surrendered, he gradually learned that it was this guy who had a bad idea and forced him to kill Urusborot, so that he could not return to the grassland.

"Xuan, the chief military officer of Datong, Zhou Shangwen is here!

”

Today's Beijing Division, the autumn is crisp and cloudless, the Forbidden City under the blue sky seems to become clearer in the line of sight, rows of guards with guns erected, and the eunuchs at the end and on the steps shout, and the sound is like a wave to rest and rise.

"Xuan, the leader of the Mongol Yongshebu tribe, will not be hajk!

”

Zhu Houzhao sat in the Fengtian Hall with his face south, today he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a black gauze winged crown, although he was as immature as a white-faced child, but he sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, looking ahead and having more power.

This is the emperor with real power, with civil servants, military generals, factory guards, and his mother's silver in his hands!

At the end of the stairs outside the hall, Zhou Shangwen's figure rose step by step, until his feet were exposed, and he steadily entered the Fengtian Palace, behind him were two deputy generals, as well as two of Yibula and his cronies, a total of five people entered the palace.

On this occasion, Zhou Shangwen took his robe and knelt,

"Zhou Shangwen, the chief soldier of Chen Datong, was ordered to suppress the trap, was ordered to go on the expedition, relied on the emperor's blessing, killed more than 1,000 enemies, and returned triumphantly!"

Zhu Houzhao was naturally happy, but he would not be so indulgent, and he looked at that one with some curiosity in his eyes.

The Fengtian Temple of the Ming Dynasty also ushered in the leader of a 10,000-household tribe.

He didn't have Han Chen's concept of 'looking directly at the emperor is disrespectful', but he looked at the emperor several times, thinking in his heart that this person was eloquent and strategic, and had the style of his ancestors.

It is no wonder that Zhu Houzhao is fifteen years old after all, and if the ministers who have been in contact with him all the year round may gradually get used to his already mature character, but when people who first come here, they are a child with delicate skin on his face.

This made him feel a little indescribable in his heart.

What a little brat!

"Bold and fanatical, he is so arrogant that he dares to see my emperor without kneeling?"

Lin Han of the Ministry of Rites has spoken so loudly for the first time since he entered the dynasty to this day.

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth were crooked, showing a slight smile, this time was not the time to talk about equality and friendship, so he didn't speak.

After Lin Han finished speaking, there were courtiers in the hall who were dissatisfied,

Several voices sounded, and they didn't bother this old man, even if he felt awkward, he could only kneel to this young man.

Seeing him lean down, Zhou Shangwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"The leader of Yong Xie Bu is also not bad, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Houzhao could see that this old man with a white beard made this action because he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

"Your Majesty!" The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were all jealous and hateful, and began to count the crimes of Yong Xie Bu, "In the fourteenth and sixteenth years of Hongzhi, this person led more than 10,000 troops to commit my Xuanfu and Datong, killed my people, plundered my people, robbed tens of thousands of Dingkou, cattle and sheep are not counted, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to kill this person!" Sacrifice to the spirits of our ancestors and avenge the blood of thousands of my people! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Please behead this person, Your Majesty!"

……

Zhu Houzhao did not suppress these voices at the beginning, it was difficult to suppress them, the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars have a deep blood feud, and some far-sighted and wise people know how to make rational choices, but most people are not rational people.

In addition, these Tatars must not really be convinced, so it is useless to treat this kind of people just to show weakness and curry favor, and sometimes let them see the ruthlessness of the Han people to kill.

Instead of making him grateful, it is better to make him afraid, because he understands fists far more than righteousness.

After fermenting like this for a while, let these voices dissipate on their own,

Zhu Houzhao spoke, and asked Zhou Shangwen first, "Zhou Aiqing,"

"Wechen is here!"

"Dayan Khan's second son, really died in this battle?"

"Back to Your Majesty! Absolutely true! Zhou Shangwen said categorically, "In the Yongxieb tribe, there are many people who know this person, and they will never be wrong!" ”

"Good!"

With his reply, Zhu Houzhao felt much more secure,

As for whether he was not killed, as the emperor, it was not suitable for him to ask on such an occasion. After all, that method is not elegant.

"At the beginning of the year, the imperial court decided to suppress the strategy, and I never thought that Aiqing would have such a result. Since ancient times, the sage has said that meritorious service must not be rewarded, and there must be no punishment, and this way of reward and punishment is also! Now you have made great contributions to the imperial court, and I will add the prince to the young guard, confer the title of secretary of the military department, and still be in charge of all things. Bestow the name of the general of the Ming Dynasty, and lead 20,000 elite cavalry! ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the general army was already a big military attachΓ©. However, when Zhu Yuanzhang was customized, there was no customization of the rank of the chief soldier, but the general of Dingguo was a military attache from the second grade, which is recorded.

And the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and when he reached the level of the second grade, if he made another meritorious service, he would be given the title of uncle.

However, the repetition was not really successful, and it was a little too early to be knighted at this time. But after all, he was a military merit, and he also 'captured' a leader back, so he gave him the crown prince Shaobao.

Among them, the span of the crown prince Shaobao is not small, but the emperor likes it and has merit, but in fact, it is not too much.

At least it's better than those missionaries who haven't made an inch.

Zhou Shangwen's rise in official position in the past few years is really terrifying, and the emperor's love for him this time is probably comparable to Gu Liqing.

"Minister, Zhou Shangwen thank Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

”

"No courtesy. Elder Li Ge, Elder Xie Ge,"

"The old minister is here."

"Since Zhou Yanzhang, the soldiers who go out to fight should be rewarded according to the law, and the soldiers who sacrificed should be compensated, especially those who are seriously injured and disabled, they must pay special attention to them, they can't be soldiers, and returning to their hometowns to work as farmers will also be greatly affected. With so many redundant officials in the imperial court, can't it free up some seats to support these people? ”

When the minister Liang Chu heard this, he also lowered his head, the problem of redundant officials is actually one of the government affairs, and it is often taken out by the emperor to talk about one or two.

"The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War should participate in this matter, Jin Gui."

The man in the chamberlain set up a small table, sat in a small corner on the side, and when he heard the emperor's voice, he left the table and bent down and bowed his hand.

"You remember this."

"Yes.

Wang Bing and Liang Chu Yuguang saw Jin Gui's brush moving.

The setting of Emperor Zhengde's chamber is really unique, on the one hand, cultivating cronies and officials, and on the other hand, putting the reins on the ministers of various ministries.

As long as that note is written, even if you make up a lie, you have to give an explanation to the emperor, as long as you make it up well and deceive it, then it will work, you are considered capable.

But I cannot do without the following,

A month or two months have passed, and there is no record of the result, so the emperor will definitely summon you into the palace, in case you can't say anything when the time comes, are you afraid?

Zhu Houzhao also stood up, he said: "The Ming Dynasty has won the victory, of course a military general like Zhou Yanzhang must be rewarded, but every soldier cannot be forgotten, not that we have few sacrifices and great results, it doesn't matter if we lose the lives of hundreds of people, and no one can ignore it!"

At that time, Wang Xiangmin Gong had a bad reputation because he was considered a eunuch, and when he set out on the expedition, I told him that as long as I was there, I would not let those who fought for the Ming Dynasty dodge the enemy's open arrows, but not their own people's dark arrows!

I am determined to restore the Xuanhe martial arts of Taizu Taizong and revitalize the glorious national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and today's victory is worth celebrating, but you Aiqing, we still have a long way to go. From today on, the Ming Dynasty will prepare for a greater victory, and some people may say that I am happy to be happy, but I don't care! What I care about is that no one dares to commit the Ming Dynasty again! Zhengde I, not afraid of the four yi! ”

These words were said in front of the civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace.

The point is that the past has proved that this is not a young man's empty words, he can really do it.

This is the emperor's ambition to reach the sky.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

”

The ministers knelt down one after another, they were all people who read poetry and books, how many emperors from ancient times could have such ambitions?

At this time, it seems a little abrupt.

As the victor, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when he looked back at this defeated general, he always made others feel that he was looking down. Emperor Zhengde didn't care about the small sections that he was entangled in.

Hundreds of thousands of male soldiers are in hand, and I still care if you surrender to me from the bottom of your heart? No, you just surrender inwardly and superficially.

"No, since you are obedient, I will not take your life, and you may not ask for anything. But you have to understand what I mean by submission. ”

The emperor's voice was slow and majestic.

"Please make it clear to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Maybe it's the environment, maybe it's the words of Emperor Zhengde just now, but it's hard to just think of him as a simple and immature child at this time.

"The so-called submission means to obey my command, and not to rebel. As long as you do this, I will ensure peace for you and your tribesmen! ”
