Seiwa

The Tatars killed the Ming Dynasty and knew something was wrong, so they immediately moved their troops to the depths of the desert.

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, so as long as you run ahead of time, even if the Ming Dynasty sends troops, you may not be able to find yourself.If no one can be found, the battle cannot be fought.Even if they were found, it is believed that the Ming army was exhausted and weak in succession.Tatar waits for work with ease, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Alutai thought very well, and Ma Erhaza, Tuo Huochi and others all agreed with this idea.

No matter how displeased Alutai is, Ma Erha must admit that Alutai is indeed better than him in terms of cunning and resourcefulness.Otherwise, Guilichi, who commanded all the tribes of Tatar, would not have fallen into his hands.

On the whole, Alutai's plan was considered meticulous, and the Tatar leaders such as Ma Erhazan carried it out quite thoroughly.

It's a pity that after all the calculations, something went wrong halfway.

It was no one else who caused trouble, but Ben Yashili, who was supported by Arutai as the Great Khan of the Tartars, who was also the culprit who forced the tribe to migrate and flee for their lives.

The cause of the matter is very simple, summed up in five words, money is touching.

Alutai can control the horse haza, and can suppress the redness, but he just can't hold Benya, who is always hot-headed, and loses face.

On the day of the accident, the relocation ministries were resting by the lake.

Finding that Benya was missing, Alutai immediately gave orders not to search.

The dispatched cavalry came back quickly, with anxious faces, "Grand Master, something has happened!"

Hearing the reports from his subordinates, Alutai knew something was wrong, and hurried to the scene. Seeing the dead Wala people and Ben Ya, who was counting the gold cattle and sheep, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Khan, what are you doing!"

When is it, if you don't run for your life as soon as possible, you will start to rob?

"Don't worry, Grand Master, these Wala people have crossed the border here, so it's okay to kill them."

Alutai felt dizzy again, he tried to reason, but Benya, whose eyes were full of gold, couldn't listen at all.

"Great Khan, the Wala tribe crosses the border to trade with the Wuliangha tribe. They should not be intercepted. This is a set rule."

The grasslands are short of food, salt, ironware, cloth, in short, everything.

The Ming Dynasty restricted border trade and opened a mutual market with limited transactions, which made Wuliangha's "smuggling" trade on the grassland extremely prosperous.Although the prices of salt and grain in short supply have been set sky-high, and the prices of other commodities are also changing day by day, the Oala and Tatar tribes still have to grit their teeth and pay.

If you don't trade with Wuliangha, if you want food and salt, you can only rely on robbery.The Ming army became more and more difficult to deal with, and the difficulty of threshing grain grass became more and more difficult. If they rushed across the border, their lives would be in danger at any time.Rather than having his head chopped off, it is better to buy it from Wuliangha at a high price.

Due to the geographical location, Wala had to go through the Tatar territory if he wanted to trade with Uliangha, otherwise he had to borrow the border town of the Ming Dynasty.Emperor Yong Le turned a blind eye to Wu Liangha's "smuggling" behavior, but it doesn't mean he would agree to Wala's excuse.

For the development of the tribe, Mahamu held his nose and said a lot of good things to Guilichi, and finally persuaded Guilichi to nod, agreeing to the Wala tribe's transit and trade with Uliangha.It's just that part of the salt and grain traded must be handed over as "tolls".

Oala pays, and the Tatars will not intercept the Oirat caravan.

Since the two sides set the charter, Oala and Tatar still had frictions from time to time, but most of them were small-scale fights, and large-scale armed fights rarely occurred.

Today, the balance is broken.

The Wala team that Benya accidentally wiped out was obviously a caravan that went to Wuliangha for trading.Alutai is 100% sure that once the news reaches Mahamu's ears, the Oirat cavalry will fight over before the Ming army arrives.

"Khan, let's go quickly."

Apart from speeding up and running, Alutai couldn't think of any other way.

Benya didn't take it seriously, he really loved the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't pay attention to Wala at all.This kind of mentality is directly reflected in the expression, and Alutai jumps his feet in anger, and even begins to doubt whether it is right or wrong to kill Guilichi and support Benya for loss.

Guilichi abandoned the title of "Yuan", changed his name to Tatar, and professed his vassalship to Ming Dynasty, which made many people uncomfortable.He himself is not orthodox of the Golden Family, and has limited talents, unable to restore the glory of the Yuan Empire. At least he can stabilize the tribe and will not cause trouble everywhere.

As soon as Ben Ya Shili came to power, he killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, provoked the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, robbed the Wala caravan, and provoked the anger of Mahamu.

Alutai didn't want to argue with Ben Ya, he was afraid that he would draw the knife directly.

Benya lost his head and calmed down, and realized that this move was inappropriate.

The two took a step back, collected the gold, rushed back to the cattle and sheep, destroyed the corpses and wiped out the traces, and continued to run.

However, the route needs to be changed.

It was originally planned to go northwest, but now, Wala may turn his face at any time, and he is doomed not to go to the west, so he can only run northward with all his strength.The harsh environment and lack of food are not as important as life.

At the end of July in the sixth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle issued an edict to the world to recruit [-] guards and troops to conquer the Tatars.

"I was appointed by heaven to inherit the foundation of Emperor Taizu Gao, to rule all directions, and to follow all the remote and far-flung barbarians. The remnants of the northern captives are in the desert, and they are violent. They have repeatedly sent envoys to proclaim that they will be preserved by their children and grandchildren." Dao, if you don’t listen, you will detain him at every turn, and even kill him! He is ambitious, greedy and cruel, and leads Su Suji to the way of heaven. Guilty, clean up the desert!"

Expedition to the desert, since the founding of the country, is the best way for soldiers to make meritorious service and get rewarded.

Since the edict was issued, all the guards have been mobilizing their horses and soldiers.The conquest of Annan did not catch up, and the conquest of North Korea has nothing to do with it. The conquest of the desert must not be missed!

Success and fame, in the glory family, conferring wife and son, should be in the current dynasty!

The action of the army's assembly was very fast, and the rations, weapons, and war horses were in place one after another.The officers and soldiers who received the transfer order were extremely excited, and the people were equally uproarious.

The frontier people in the northern border had an inextricable hatred with the Tatar Wala, and they wished that the army would go out to the grassland the next day and kill the Tartars.

The businessmen who have benefited from the expedition of the army are gearing up and always pay attention to the news of the expedition of the army.Annan has land and food, and North Korea has ginseng and mountain treasures. Although the grassland is barren, cattle and sheep fur can always be sold for a price.

In short, wherever the army goes, everyone will follow!Follow the footsteps of the officers and soldiers to occupy land and earn money!

The subordinate grassland tribes and Liaodong Jurchen tribes began to move up and down, in order to go out with the army, gain military exploits, and obtain generous rewards.

North Korea can't help fighting. With Li Chenggui and the infiltrating spies working together, it will be a matter of time before the capital is taken down.

Li Chenggui, who was supposed to ascend to heaven in June, survived tenaciously until July, and will continue to live without accident.With him around, Li Fangyuan's life is destined to be more difficult every day.

Kill the brother, put the father under house arrest, and take the throne.

Li Chenggui hated this son so much, hatred became the motivation to support him to live, and it also became a sharp blade for the Ming army to capture North Korea.

The battle reports of Meng Shan, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, were sent to Nanjing one after another, except for victory or victory.

The imperial court issued an edict to conquer the desert, and part of the Liaodong official army was also transferred. Most of the affiliated Jurchen tribes were not on the troop list. Only the cavalry of Jianzhouwei, Mao Lianwei, and Wuzhewei were handpicked by Meng Shan to enter Beijing with the army.

The commander of the Jianzhou Guard, Haha, put on his battle armor, stepped on his horse, and led fifty tribal warriors to the commander of Liaodong.

For the Jurchen tribe attached to Ming Dynasty, being able to go out with the official army is an honor and even an opportunity.

Riding on the horse, Ha Ha Chu swung the whip vigorously, his cheeks were tense, his chest was filled with ambition, like a flame burning, boiling water boiling.

Nanjing

Inside the Xinuang Pavilion, Zhu Di was looking through the ten articles on post-disaster relief that Zhu Gaoxu had handed over, nodding from time to time.

Standing in front of the imperial case, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui dared not probe easily.After waiting for a long time for their father to speak, the two brothers became more and more uncertain, so they dared to take a look and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Dad has no bad face, and seems to be in a good mood.

"Who wrote this memorial?" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui with a dignified expression and a solemn tone.If a boy dares to lie, he will be whipped immediately.

"Return to Father, this is what Uncle Xing Ning mentioned. The son and the third younger brother sorted it out together, and consulted Xia Situ before submitting it to Father for review."

"Uncle Xingning?"

"Exactly."

Putting down the memorandum, Zhu Di squeezed the center of his eyebrows, "It's very beneficial for you to learn from Uncle Xingning, and you've improved a lot."

"Thank you, Father."

"Let's step back for now." Zhu Di put down his hands and said, "During my northern tour, the two of you will accompany you."

"As ordered!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui agreed in unison, very excited.

Does following the Northern Tour mean that he has a part in going to the desert?

Good thing, big good thing!

As a prince, he must make achievements in civil affairs and economics, and his military exploits are his capital.If he can make a military exploit in the desert and capture the Tartar commander alive like his father did in his early years, what an honor it would be, and he would wake up with a smile in his dreams.

No matter how excited you are in your heart, you must control your expression. If you offend your father, change your mind, and let the cooked duck fly away, it will be too wronged.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui thought of one place, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Your servant will leave."

Withdraw first, go to Kunning Palace to meet your mother, and say something, so you don't have to worry about your father changing his words.

Watching his two sons leave, Zhu Di let out a snort, puffed out his nostrils, and started to itch again.

Bai Yanhui who was standing by the side immediately cheered up.

Back in Nanjing, Bai Yanhui took the vacancy left by Hou Xian and waited on Emperor Yongle.Carefully observing the emperor's expression, Eunuch Bai decided to shut up and keep silent.

Zhu Di picked up the memorial presented by Zhu Gaoxu again, and frowned when he saw half of it.Not for the content of the memorial, but for the coach who conquered the desert this time.

Emperor Yong Le never imagined that his subordinates would have a lot of talents and would be a headache for the commander in chief.

Originally, he preferred Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, but as soon as he showed some interest, Zhu Neng's note to complain about his illness was sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Zhu Di had nothing to do, he was sick, so naturally he couldn't lead troops.

Afterwards, his gaze fell on Dingguo Duke Shen Xuan again, but unexpectedly Shen Xuan also sent a sick note.reason?The old disease relapsed.

Zhu Di lifted the table, what kind of trouble is this?

Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng, Li Bin and other generals passed the sieve one by one, and none of them could satisfy Zhu Di.The combat power is good, but the prestige is always lacking.

Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, took the initiative to ask for his order, but Zhu Di really didn't dare to use him.

Jing Nan's lesson taught Zhu Di that Lord Qi is loyal and capable, but his luck is not very good, and his personality is a bit headstrong, and he can easily turn a corner when things happen.Let him lead the army to conquer the desert. If he encounters a trap and steps into it, he may not be able to stand up.

After the selection of generals in Nanjing, Zhu Di turned his attention to Beijing.Thinking of my brother-in-law who was training in Shuntian, he immediately slapped his thigh, saying, brother-in-law is available!

Back then, Jing Nan almost fell into his hands, who else would use him?

Inevitably, there will be another situation like Cheng Guogong Ding Guogong, Zhu Di directly issued an edict to block all Xu Huizu's escape routes.

When the imperial edict was sent to Beijing, Xu Huizu didn't make any excuses, and happily accepted the seal of General Zhengyi.

Since his ascension to the throne, Xu Huizu has not made any achievements except Shuntian's military training.For Wei Guogong's mansion, in order not to lose Zhongshan King's reputation, even if the emperor doesn't mention it, he will take the initiative to ask for his order.

The issue of the commander was resolved, and Zhu Di began to appoint deputy generals again. The imperial edict was issued to the Duke's Mansion, ordering Shen Xuan to supervise the left army, and Meng Qinghe to be the deputy.

Emperor Yong Le said that if he does not become the coach, the deputy general can no longer push.I am not old and dim-sighted yet, and it is useless to call in sick, honestly let me go to the north to fight.

"The minister leads the order."

The two accepted the order to thank you.

Standing up, Meng Qinghe skillfully handed over the red envelope and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Bai."

Bai Yan took it back, tucked it into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Our family has to go to the Xincheng Hou's Mansion to announce the decree, and the Duke and Uncle stay here."

"Eunuch Bai, go slowly."

After seeing off Bai Yan, Meng Qinghe looked at Shen Xuan, "Master, what should we do now?"

"What is Twelve Lang referring to?"

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking innocent.

Meng Qing got angry.

Do you want to pretend to be sick and act stupid in front of him?

Shen Xuan waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, closed the door, leaned over and pinched Meng Qing and his earlobe, "Don't worry about Twelfth Lang, it's fine if he's not in the Chinese army."

"Didn't the Duke of the State say that the credit was too much?" Covering his ears, Meng Qinghe blinked.

Shen Xuan didn't immediately explain Meng Qinghe's doubts, but pulled him into his arms, stroked his neck lightly, and swept the medicine bowl on the table, "Twelve Lang still haven't used today's medicine?"

"..." Is there an inevitable connection?

"Twelve Lang takes the medicine first, and then Xun explains it to Shi Twelve Lang, okay?"

"..." Can you say it badly?

Meng Qinghe curled his lips and wanted to get up, but the arms behind his back became tighter.

Staring, not letting him get up, how to drink medicine?

"It's okay."

Shen Xuan smiled lightly, picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to his lips, took a half mouthful, supported Meng Qinghe's chin, brushed his thumb over his lips, and fed it into his mouth.

After drinking the whole bowl of medicine, Meng Qinghe didn't feel bitter, but his ears felt hot, and his head almost turned into a paste.

Zijing is difficult to come, how many times is this?

After thinking for two seconds, his neck turned red.

"Twelve Lang."

The deep voice flowed through the ears, and Meng Qinghe unconsciously responded.

"Speaking skills are as high as the master."

Meng Qinghe shuddered and woke up instantly.

"What's more, it's too late."

"Is it too late?"

"Although Xuan has made meritorious service several times, this is not the time to retreat bravely."

"The Duke of the country is just a test?" To express his position to the emperor?

"Yes." Shen Xuan pecked Meng Qinghe's forehead, "Twelve Langs are smart."

Touching his forehead, Meng Qing and Mo Ran.Compared with Hou Erdai who had experienced the political struggle in Hong Wunian and grew up beside Emperor Yong Le, his thoughtfulness was not enough at all.

"Furthermore," Shen Xuan paused, lowered his head, warm breath brushed over Meng Qing and the side of his neck, "Xuan doesn't want to part with Twelve Lang again, and has been in love for several months."

boom!

Uncle Meng's face was flushed, his head was steaming, and three flowers gathered on his top.

Hou Erdai is so amazing, he really can't hold it.

Comparing the two, who is the native of Daming? !

In August of the sixth year of Yongle, the Ming army was ready to march on the grassland.

Wala suddenly took a step ahead of the Ming Dynasty and led his troops to attack the Tatars.

The two sides confronted each other at the foot of Tangnu Mountain. Mahamu, the leader of Wala, personally led [-] cavalry, defeated the hard-core Guo Erluos department of Arutai, killed more than [-] Tatar cavalry, cut off their heads, burned tents, and declared that they were the same as Benya. Shili and Arutai are at odds.

When the news reached the Ming court, Zhu Di immediately decreed to seal Mahamu as the king of Shunning, and gave him a gold seal and clothing, a reward of 50 taels of silver, 100 taels of silver, [-] ingots of treasure banknotes, ten catties of tea bricks, ten catties of pepper, and two taels of silk. hundred horses.One thousand stones of grain and five hundred pieces of ironware were supported in Wala.It is obvious to tell Wala that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to clean up the Tatars, and Ben Yashili and Alutai will be jumping around for a few days.If you want to reap more benefits, just go ahead boldly.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Although Wala can't be called a friend of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle used it proficiently and repeatedly tried to fight against each other.

At this time, the Tatars were already under attack. It stands to reason that anyone with a brain should hurry up and find a place to hide.Facts have proved that there is no most stupid, only more stupid.It was the most serious mistake in Alutai's life to support Benya and lose his face.

During the run, Benya not only intercepted and killed the Wala team, but also snatched a Wuliangha caravan that was trading on the grassland.

Benya flaunted his booty, and Alutai vomited blood on the spot.

Does this fellow have a head?

Are there stones on your shoulders? !

Wu Liangha was enraged, and sent someone to Beijing to complain to Emperor Yongle, "Your Majesty, you must be the master for your minister!"

The brawny men cried with snot and tears, begging to send troops immediately to kill them.

Meng Qinghe happened to be in the palace to give lectures, and he was a little dumbfounded when he learned about this for the first time.

First came Daming, then Wala, and then Uliangha.If you can offend one decline, you will offend them all.

The Tatars are really brave, and Ben Ya Shili is simply too characterful. He is completely running on the road to death, and he will not turn back when he is killed.
