Chapter 447: The Northwest is really fighting
readx;
Outside the Thang Long Mansion, Li Nianjun, accompanied by Li Zhiba and Pei Xianlin, came to bid farewell to Jiangxia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, seeing an eight-year-old son inexplicably, this feeling was still very strange for Jiang Xia.
Of course, in any case, the father-son blood relationship between the two really exists. No matter what you say, Li Nianjun is Jiang Xia's son.
Li Nianjun didn't resist Jiang Xia at all, and shouted very smoothly: "Father, when will you go back to Annan this time?"
"Back to Annan?" Jiang Xia thought about it, and the word "Hui" made him hesitate a little. After being silent for a while, Jiang Xia said: "Don't worry, as long as I finish dealing with the affairs of Daming, I will definitely return to Annan to let you give me a pension and send me to the end." ”
Li Nianjun smiled slightly and said: "It is appropriate for the child to give his father a pension." ”
Jiang Xia smiled and rubbed Li Nianjun's little head, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, we still have to hurry, so I won't say more." ”
Li Nianjun nodded, then walked to the side of the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Li Ruliu in the carriage and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, my father will definitely be able to cure you." The child waited for his mother in Thang Long Mansion and returned as soon as possible. ”
Li Ruliu smiled and nodded to Li Nianjun.
Xiao Shu was in charge of driving the carriage, and Hai Dayou rode a horse alone. Jiangxia and they went on the road and rushed in the direction of Daming.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, the period without Jiangxia was also changing and changing.
Originally, Yang Tinghe was seizing the opportunity of Jiang Xia's absence, and was arranging some things intensively. For example, in the Daning Commodity Trading Market, Yang Tinghe removed more than 40 of the original 100 franchisees under various pretexts. Then he installed more than a hundred franchisees, all of his own.
But fortunately, this matter is controlled by Wei Jingjing, Wei Jingjing asked the more than forty franchisees who were inexplicably withdrawn to wait for the time being, and when Jiang Xia returns, the matter will be explained and answered.
In addition, Yang Tinghe also used the same method to remove some salt concessionaires and join a large number of his own people.
In short, taking advantage of Jiang Xia's absence, Yang Tinghe was almost blatantly staking his ground. The techniques used are simple, crude, and straightforward, and there is basically no concealment at all.
This made the descendants of the Jiang family very dissatisfied. But at the same time, it also made some of the wall grasses of the Jiang system feel that Yang Tinghe seemed to be stronger than Jiangxia, and these wall grasses switched to Yang Tinghe one after another.
The power of the Jiang system represented by Jiang Xia has shrunk significantly, and it is all supported by Yang Ting and one person.
However, this is also good and bad, after all, after removing those wall grass, the people of the river system have become more pure and more cohesive.
After Jiang Xia entered the border of the Ming Dynasty, although he had been rushing to Jingshi, thousands of disciples had sent him news about everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty along the way.
Seeing the small actions that Yang Tinghe had made in the days he had left, Jiang Xia was not too surprised. Basically, when he left, he had already guessed that Yang Tinghe would do this. Even he felt that Yang Tinghe was not as bold as he imagined, and his real methods were much more subtle.
In contrast, Jiangxia was more concerned about the situation of the war at the northwest border pass.
According to the news sent by the disciples of Qianmen, the northwest border pass was very calm, and there was basically no major battle after the 100,000 troops of the imperial court arrived in Suzhou.
There was no war, which should have been considered good news, but at this moment, in Jiang Xia's opinion, this was probably very bad news.
If there is no war, it proves that Yan Song did not send people to support the Tumut tribe at all.
Turpan has Warat behind it, and the Tumut tribe cannot be Turpan's opponent without foreign aid. If Turpan really easily took the Tumut tribe, I am afraid that the northwest border pass will really be in danger.
Jiang Xia now only hopes that when Turpan launches an attack on the northwest border pass, Yan Song will continue to implement his wise self-protection method, and don't be stupid to fight the Turpan army.
If there is a big loss of 100,000 troops in Beijing, then I am afraid that there will really be a huge crisis in the Ming Dynasty.
It may be that you are afraid of something.
At the end of June, Jiangxia was still on the road, and Yang Tinghe continued to remove the officials of the Sixth Ministry and install his own people in the Sixth Ministry. On the other side of Yili, the Tumut tribe and the Turpan tribe finally negotiated peace.
In the end, the Tumut tribe could not resist the strong attack of Turpan, and announced that the Tumut tribe would be incorporated into the Turpan tribe.
The armies of Turpan and Warat immediately began to assemble, and the entire northwestern defense line could almost choose any place from Turpan and Warat to start the attack.
Yan Song, who came to Suzhou, also put on a posture of waiting for the enemy to be careful at first.
However, this posture lasted less than ten days, and then he did not care about the 100,000 troops stationed outside the city.
Yan Song spends all day drinking in the city, enjoying the various singers that Liu Xiangfeng keeps sending him. Occasionally, when he was in good spirits, he would ask Liu Xiangfeng, Luo Cheng, and Hou Zhang to chant poems on a moonlit night together, exchanging and playing with those dancing girls and courtesans.
The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Yan Song is happy in the city, and the soldiers stationed outside the city naturally cannot stay stupidly outside the city.
At first, they still belonged to the normal consumer group, and they drank alcohol, casinos, prostitutes, and ate meat in the city with the few military salaries.
And then very quickly, they ran out of money.
I can't stand the loneliness, and there is no one to manage it. The soldiers began to loot and plunder in the city. The girls in Suzhou City, I don't know how many have been ruined by these soldiers.
In the end, Liu Xiangfeng couldn't resist the pressure, so he reported the matter to Yan Song.
After Yan Song thought about it, he ordered the army to retreat and evacuate to a place ten miles away from Suzhou City.
In this way, the soldiers of the original Beijing camp went out of the barracks to plunder and rob the city, and although the generals would not strictly control it, they would say a few words about them.
Now Yan Song directly asked them to retreat ten miles, while he himself hid in the city and was merry. At this time, even those who were generals were angry, and one by one they either led people to set up checkpoints on the road, and learned to be bandits to find people who had gone up and down the road to buy road money.
Either they directly disguised themselves as bandits and rode war horses to loot around Suzhou, making the people around Suzhou miserable.
At this moment, Liu Xiangfeng asked Yan Song for help again, and Yan Song issued an order to summon those generals into the city, ready to scold him severely. However, those generals didn't pay attention to Yan Song at all, either under the pretext that they were unwell and unfit to walk, or temporarily left the barracks to investigate the enemy's situation.
Seeing that the 100,000 army was about to lose control, Yan Song was a little anxious now. He knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to bring the 100,000 troops back to Beijing as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the 100,000-strong army tasted the sweetness, and in the end it was even possible to mutiny, and it was possible to directly enter Suzhou City to mutiny.
For this reason, Yan Song immediately wrote a letter to send someone to Beijing, saying that the war at the northwest border pass had subsided, and the army asked the division to return to the dynasty.
But just halfway through the letter, Luo Cheng, the commander of Suzhou Wei, followed Liu Xiangfeng to find Yan Song. As soon as Liu Xiangfeng saw Yan Song, he said in a panic: "It's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." The Turpan army is coming, and now the border defense line is retreating, and the Turpan army is about to arrive at the city of Jiayuguan, General Hou Zhang is in a hurry and asks the adults to send troops to support. ”
"The Turpan army is coming?" Yan Song had a feeling that the heavens and the earth were shaking, where would he go to find the army now? The 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp almost all became bandits.
But Yan Song had to give it a try anyway, he finally went out of Suzhou City in person, and took his cronies to the place where 100,000 soldiers and horses camped in Beijing ten miles outside Suzhou City.
Yan Song ordered people to beat the drum of the tent and gather all the generals.
According to the rules, as soon as the drum sounds, all the generals must gather outside the commander's tent. However, Yan Song has always lived in the city, and there is no camp tent of his commander in this camp, so after the three drums were beaten, less than a third of the generals came, and they did not come at all.
After waiting for about two hours, the generals finally arrived.
The ten commanders led by Yan Song looked around, and one of them said with a smile: "Yo, who is this adult?" It looks a little familiar, but I can't remember who my surname is. ”
"That's it, looking familiar, it seems to be Lao Yan who beat the 'yellow dog peeing punch' after getting drunk in Cuihualou yesterday, right?"
Yan Songtie's face turned blue, and he forcibly suppressed his anger. He took out the talisman from his bosom and raised it above his head, shouting: "The talisman of the military department is here, and all the soldiers obey the order!"
"The talisman looks like it's real, but who knows if it's true or not?" said one of the conductors with a playful laugh.
Yan Song looked at him sharply, and said coldly: "Now that the Turpan army is coming, Jiayuguan is in a hurry. Usually it doesn't matter how you want to make trouble, but you have to remember that you are all Ming generals, and your family background is on the record in the military department. If the border pass is lost this time, the court will blame it.
The crime of not fighting will surely bring disaster to the nine tribes. Do you want to sneer at the official here and ignore the official for the time being, do you want to go to the aid of Jiayuguan now, and wait for yourself to do it!"
I have to say that although Yan Song's trick is not clever, it is effective.
Most of the family members of these generals in Beijing are in Beijing.
It's okay to make trouble occasionally, but if they really retreat without a fight and don't obey the order, they really don't dare.
But even if they go to help, it doesn't mean that they will obey Yan Song.
One of the deputy commanders pointed at Yan Song and said, "Lao Tzu is stationed outside the city to eat and sleep in the open, but you are hiding in the city and spending all day drinking. Now that something happened to me, you remembered us? Why did you go there earlier? Now we are going to help Jiayuguan not for you, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. You are a villain, you are not worthy of commanding me at all. ”
"Yes, villain!" "Dog Officer ......"
The soldiers of the Beijing camp pointed at Yan Song and shouted loudly...... rg
