If you can't negotiate, you can hit the prestige of me first.

When the Han people were defeated, it was also the Great Khan who helped the Tumut Department to regain face.

But whether the Han court really had such a big worry, he still needed to return to the Khan's court, consult with the other Bo Esha of the Great Khan, and divinate the good fortune and evil, and then call for wind and rain through the method of Zada, and pray for a weather that is more conducive to the cavalry's southern expedition.

At this time, whether it was the Alta side or the Bodi side, they were also trying to collect information as much as possible through various channels such as the private market in the past, the escape to serve the Han people, and the Maitreya White Lotus sect.

And in the city of Beijing, the imperial court in the summer is still brewing thunder.

There are many ripple effects brought about by a minister of state and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the same is true of the change of Jizhou Town.

Zhang Bi, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu, was promoted to the governor of Shandong, Mao Bowen was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, Zhai Luan, the head of the Guangdong Tax Division, was promoted to the political envoy of the Zhejiang Zuobu, Sun Xuan, the political envoy of the Zhejiang Zuobu, was transferred to the president of the Weaving Bureau, Qi Jingtong was transferred to the chief military officer of Guangxi, Huo Tao was promoted to the political envoy of the right cloth of Shandong, and Fang Xianfu was promoted to the political envoy of the right cloth of Sichuan......

Under the impetus of Zhang Fujing, who had just served as the secretary of the ministry, on the eve of the new law being implemented in the provinces outside the border towns and about to be formally levied from the gentry and wealthy households in the autumn according to the re-cleared land and the yellow book of people, the Ming Dynasty was carrying out a large-scale official adjustment from top to bottom because of Shi Xuan and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

At the same time, the autumn test of the provinces and townships, which has been changed to once a year, is also being prepared, and Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wants to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to write the questions and send the main exam.

This means that in today's round of adjustments, many of the seven, eight, and nine-grade official positions vacant in many places due to the adjustment of officials and officials will also be waiting to see if there are any people who are willing to come out of the ranks in this year's new examination, or those who are desperate are willing to "deign" to start from the ninth grade.

Xu Jiusi, an official from a high background, who was promoted to the Ministry of Industry and was promoted to the Ministry of Industry, supervised the engineering projects purchased by the Ministry of Industry, which was already an example of a non-Jinshi who was quickly promoted.

As the emperor arrives at the age of the crown, the new blood generation of the Ming Dynasty is surging, and what about the old ministers who are withering one after another? It seems to be standing faintly at both ends.

At one end is the emperor, and at the other end, is Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, and Yang Tinghe.

Tang Shunzhi was impeached again - this time he was impeached by Zhang Jing, the general manager of the military department, who impeached him for accepting bribes but privately giving Yu Dayou to train soldiers. Even if there is no personal use, isn't it a bribe?

Jingbian Boxi mentions the punishment of the demotion of the lord - he is not married, and the unborn son will temporarily start from the township lord.

But Tang Shunzhi's current official position has not been damaged after all.

Yu Dayou was also upset, and Liu Kai, the general of the Datong West Road Division, also impeached him for treating his soldiers harshly, recruiting and training recruits without authorization, and treating them differently in terms of food and salary, so that Shuozhou Wei and the Datong West Road Border Army complained constantly.

The emperor's reaction was to set up Shuozhou to guard the thousand households, Yu Dayou's official character remained unchanged, and his official position became a separate guerrilla general, but his direct jurisdiction under Guo Xun's jurisdiction to guard the thousand households was actually full of two thousand households.

What's even more important is the impeachment of Xia Yan by Yang Tinghe, who still connived at the imperial history of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach the officials of Nanjing after he was impeached in Nanjing, which is not conducive to unity and stability.

But Xia Yan is good, I like to mention the governor of Zhejiang - to give Yang Tinghe a face, Nanjing needs to start to stabilize, but Xia Yan went to the governor of Zhejiang to obviously entrust him with a heavy responsibility, Ningbo's city department was reopened, and the sea ban was opened.

The emperor gave Yang Tinghe a face, but although the official character of the impeached person has not changed, how can the imperial history of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate be compared with the governor of Zhejiang?

We must not forget that Xia Yan was the first person to be promoted after the new emperor ascended the throne - at that time, Xia Yan was promoted to the general manager of the military department and assisted in the resetting of the three major battalions.

Although Xia Yan can only follow Yan Song's ass to take over Zhejiang, he must be riveting to handle Zhejiang's affairs well, and looks forward to returning to Beijing in three years. The next step is to really normalize the participation in the capital.

There may be a layer of fog about other things, but these official transfers cannot be faked.

On the beach of Fengzhou, I was angry: Bodi actually played this hand, and attributed the failure of the negotiations and the humiliation of the Great Khan by the Ming Emperor to the defeat of the Tumut Ministry last year and the burning of the land this year.

In the Khan's court on Chahar's side, Bodi and his trusted courtiers were analyzing all kinds of information.

Among them, there are also northern Han people who have served like Shi Tianjue or have long been naturalized.

"This "Ming Pao" is extremely powerful!" "In the past, although the Son of Heaven was respected, he also needed the gentry to assist in governing the world." Whether the merits are due or not, they are all from the mouth of the gentry. What about this "Ming Pao" now? Ming Bao Bank, as well as those enterprises set up by the Ming Emperor, are mainly taken care of by the emperor and his relatives, speaking for the emperor! ”

Bodie nodded slightly, looking at the few pieces of paper in his hand.

"The general army of Datong is the Marquis of Wuding, the general army of Jizhou is the Marquis of Funing, and the general soldier of Xuanfu is Fu Duo, who was newly awarded the seal of General Zhenshuo by the emperor. In addition to Fu Duo, Datong and Jizhou are all new generals. I have just taken up my post and there are a lot of problems that need to be solved. ”

"The young emperor is using this article in "Ming Pao" to remind the people of the Ming Dynasty of national hatred and family hatred, and agree with the emperor's intention to go north." Bileg also said, "But that Zhang Zilin, what he conveyed meant was that in fact, there were people in their State Hall who wanted to negotiate the terms of the mutual market. Their emperor deliberately sent the Ministry of Rites to convey humiliating words. Great Khan, how could I still stay there to confer with them, after hearing such words? ”

Bodi has a calm face: Lao Tzu is older than you, but is he naïve than you? The amount of return is narrow......

Judging from the news that came back from the fine work, almost all of the people who sat in those good positions this time were newcomers promoted by their emperor after he ascended the throne. The most conspicuous of them, that Jingbian Bo and Wu Zhuangyuan were both impeached, and both were punished, but they both remained in Datong and did what the emperor arranged for them to do. These are the two people who suggested the emperor's northern expedition together last year! ”

As soon as you said a word, Bodi only asked: "If there is a big war, between the kings and ministers of the southerners, between the border army and the rear, in terms of food and salary transfer, march and dispatch, how sure is there that there will be problems?" ”

"In any case, I must win with all my might, otherwise his reputation of being so despised by the Nanren Emperor after a defeat will spread throughout the grassland! The two brothers Jinong and Alta on the right flank could only attack Datong or the west at most. Yong Xie Bu is not yet a single heart with me, and my central ten thousand households can attack Xuanfu and Jizhou with them. The key to the Great Khan is the attitude of Huadang. ”

“…… Flower dang. Bodi gritted his teeth, "This old fox swaying from side to side, if the Khanting army goes south, he is afraid that he will first negotiate with the southerners to increase the tribute." That guy, and the official of the Han emperor! ”

Huadang, the owner of Duoyan, was once beaten and surrendered by his grandfather Dayan Khan, but relied on Dayan Khan's threat to the southerners and repeatedly benefited from the previous emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Great Khan, the emperor of the southerners is too proud. He said that he would no longer pay tribute as in the past, and Huadang must have been disgruntled for a long time. Even if he wanted to seek benefits from both the left and right, he would only fight the southerners first and then talk to the southerners as he did twelve years ago. When his son killed a general of the Nanren, didn't Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department of the Nanren at that time, say that his son must pay for his life? As a result, his son went as a messenger, and not only did he not die, but he also brought back so many tribute goods! ”

"Great Khan, this is definitely a golden opportunity! Don't care about Xuanfu, as long as the new general has not yet gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, the army of Jiyong Xie Bu, Chahar, and Duoyan will break through Gubeikou, and they will be able to persecute the southerners again. Talk about the mutual market in Gubeikou, and next, just let the southerners compete with the two brothers in Datong all the year round. ”

"I am the suzerain, if I can't restrain the right wing, the mutual market will stop."

Billeg's eyes flashed: "That is the interests of me destroying the entire grassland!" ”

Bodi only felt that the picture in front of him was gradually clear, and finally his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Would you like to go and see Huadang?" ”

"Great Khan rest assured!"

"Time is pressing, it's almost winter!" Bodi was enthusiastic, "It's best to wait until the season when the southerners harvest grain!" If there is a war, they will desperately urge the delivery of food. It's better for them to face the internal rebellion at the same time! ”

Whether there will be a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, he does not know yet.

But during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the sixth year of Jiajing, Wei Bin sent a blockbuster news from Guangdong to Beijing.

More than three months ago, King Anxing, who had just been crowned in the Jiaozhi Kingdom, went one step further and accepted the Zen throne of Emperor Li Gong of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi, established the Mo Dynasty, changed the Yuan Mingde, and Emperor Li Gong was deposed as the King of Thailand.

When the news reached the capital, Emperor Li Gong and the Empress Dowager Zheng Shiluan had already "committed suicide" together.

"Wei Bin did not report in a hurry, Huang Mingji and the foreign factory have repeatedly confirmed that this matter is true." Zhu Houxi said in a deep voice, "Now, I haven't heard of any Li Dynasty clan standing up. But presumably, Mo Dengyong will send an envoy soon. When the messenger arrives, Da Ming must be the new victor of the north! ”

“…… Your Majesty, Duoyan Sanwei, it is better to appease you. Hua dang controls more than 10,000 strings, if you really break through Jizhou or loot Liaodong, it is very bad. ”

Beiyu already has signs of a plan, but Yang Yiqing has a heavy responsibility, and he has gained and lost.

"When I heard that Bodie had sent an envoy, didn't he also send his grandson? Whoever wins, he helps whom. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if both armies are tired, it is a good time for him to make a move. Zhu Houxi sneered, "General Staff Yang doesn't have to worry too much. I transferred Zhu Qi, he was called the chief soldier, but he only supervised a battalion of personal soldiers who had been suppressing bandits in Guangxi for many years. Huguang counterinsurgency has only been restored, and it still has to be demoted. But I will be rewarded for my merits, this battle is a battle that can be crowned as a prince, how can Zhu Qi do it? How does Li Quanli do it? ”

In this temporary meeting held in the Yangxin Palace, only Fei Hong and the six ministers of state participated, and the others were Yang Yiqing, Cui Yuan, Gu Shilong, and Wang Shouren.

Zhu Houxi stood up and said solemnly: "Zhongqing, the most important half year of the Ming Dynasty is coming. After planning for so long, under the heavy pressure of border troubles, whether the new law can be implemented truthfully and whether the border towns can make a time to reform the malpractices depends on the concerted efforts of all the secretaries. This battle is a big victory, and the monarchs and ministers will dedicate the Jietai Temple together! ”

……

Half a year after coming to Shuozhou, Yu Dayou was a saboteur.

He broke the rules and did not recruit family members, but because of Guo Xun's protection and the emperor's favoritism, he was able to recruit new soldiers, as well as the grain that Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou bought with bribes.

He does not withhold monthly food, does not send silver, but gives out his true grain, and his reputation as a martial champion has indeed attracted many young people from near and far.

He practiced the new methods used by his soldiers, and practiced strange battle formations. Not only that, but he also had strange weapons directly transferred by Guo Xun in his guarding thousand households.

The interests of Shuozhou's Weituntian area, Yu Dayou doesn't care.

But many border generals and officials on the Datong West Road also knew that the emperor was actually worried about the problem of Tuntian, a border town. Otherwise, why did Tang Shunyi have the same errand as Wang Xian in the first place?

But after all, Datong did not face any punishment, only "each hit 30 boards", and both sides of the bribery and bribery were punished.

Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou are cutting power, and the others are fines.

In contrast, Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou were punished more severely, and it seems that the emperor gave in a little more when the courtiers were worried about the instability of the border town.

But the two of them were still in Xuanda, and first Li Jin burned the wasteland, and then the emperor lit the fire - the news spread around the grassland also spread back to Datong, and His Majesty said that the Great Khan on the grassland was naïve and small.

The war has not yet officially come, but the border generals can read the atmosphere, so they are all nervous and scolded in their hearts.

It's really a fight, they are the Ming border generals! Even if you surrender to the enemy, can you live better under the captive chieftain? On the contrary, when people kill them, they don't care that everyone actually has a tacit understanding of the private market in the past - anyway, whoever is the side general will probably make profits through the private market.

Now the emperor was worried about their "sins" in the past, but he punished them first.

Liu Kai had scolded Yu Dayou many times, but he could only ask An Xingkui, the general of the West Road Dun Sentinel Army, from time to time: "Is there any movement?" ”

"Food! Food! General Liu, now I can't save it! An Xingkui only knows how to open his mouth to ask for food.

Liu Kai scolded again in his heart: "It won't be short!" Something is not right this time, very wrong! After Wang Dutai monopolized the food and salary, Datong didn't know where to get so many silver taels! Huang Mingji's grain line, the general of the Zhenguo Zhu Junliang came forward, and he bought sixty percent of this year's harvest of each guard, and made a lot of silver from Wang Dutai! The Wang family, the Ma family...... They don't know why they're willing to sell. ”

“…… Probably because of the qualifications of Zhejiang City Bosi to go to the sea, they got some promises. ”

"In short, Wang Dutai still has a lot of money in his hand! That Tang Shunzhi walked around Xuanda, in fact, he was raising food! Don't look at them impeaching each other, in fact, they are in a gang! Liu Kai was terrified, "Why did Your Majesty humiliate the chieftain?" It's really a big battle! Whether you can detect the enemy sooner depends on you, Brother An! ”

“…… What to fight? What if I lose? An Xingkui cried with a sad face.

"Lost, Daming is in chaos!" Liu Kai once again recalled the fear of shrinking into Jingping Castle last year, "I was so angry that I couldn't do it, I won't keep my hand this time!" If you lose, you and I may die here! Even if you are lucky enough not to die, I am afraid that there will be the wrath of the Son of Heaven! ”

"That'...... What to do? Fall? ”

"Can Lao Tzu descend?" Liu Kai grinned angrily, "Lao Tzu also went to join the siege last year!" Fuck, I'm afraid that only by winning this battle will Your Majesty reward us with a new merit to atone for our old sins! ”

“…… This is a battle between the two sides! Can you win? ”

Liu Kai couldn't answer him, but Yu Dayou could answer the recruits he trained.

"We will definitely win!" He repeated again, "The braver the stronger this formation!" The Meng brothers do not give up, the swordsmen in each formation have more or less years of hard work, as long as they are not timid on the battlefield, the battle formation does not stop, and the Tartars cannot be broken! I will defend it with my life! Practice again and eat meat at night! ”

"Good!"

In the barracks at the back, Zhao Benxue looked at the small circles in the distance, and Yu Dayou was practicing the mandarin duck array created by Tang Shunzhi. With the strength of the three of them, some improvements have been made based on the captives they will face. The spear was not easy to meet the impact of the captive cavalry, and the Mo knife, the big shield and the long halberd for the stabbing that the Marquis of Wuding personally paid for were here.

If it is a field battle, a circle of several people, it will be the Mo knife hand under the guard of the knife player, turning and cutting the horse, and then the halberdier will harvest the fallen enemy.

Zhao Benxue didn't know if this recruit who had been hastily trained for months would be able to make meritorious contributions, but the big war that he hadn't seen for many years was finally coming.

His gaze looked north, deep and expectant.

For most of his life, he has been a hermit, but he has never suppressed the blood in his heart.

Now, he was just keeping an eye out for the side wall piers and when the beacon smoke would ignite.

On September 21, Li Jin, the left deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, got up from the night to beat the bed, and then laughed wildly.

"God help me! Unexpectedly, he was unwilling to come to this point and wanted to attack from Yang and Guan? I answer dementia! ”

His eyes were full of bloodlust, looking at the beacon fire burning on the pier of the wall north of the Xuanning Five Forts, which had not yet been built at the moment.

The fire went all the way to the east, burning in the direction of the capital.
