Seiwa

Chapter 211 Luck

In the frontier fortress in October, it was the first snowfall of winter.

Beside the Kerulun River, the Wuliangha cavalry defeated the Tatar vanguard, and Ben Yashili was forced by Alutai to flee northward in a hurry.

Countless gold, silver and furs were discarded along the way, and there were also ten carts of salt and tea obtained from robbing Wala and Uliangha caravans.

The wheels fell off, the wooden box rolled on the ground, the lid was lifted, and the tea bricks and salt Bardo in the box were gone.

Benya was in excruciating pain, but Alutai insisted on not saving him face, and ordered him to get on the horse, and with a whip whip, he galloped northward.

"Khan, if you lose your things, you can grab them again. If you lose your life, everything will be over!"

Is money more important than life?

Alutai almost tore his face, pointing at Benya's disgraced nose and yelling at the idiot.

Fortunately, Benya was not stupid to the extreme, turned around halfway, and ran along honestly.

Although they were defeated by Wala and Wu Liangha one after another, after all, the main force is still there, and the root is not hurt.Find a place where no one is around to recuperate, and make a comeback in the spring of the coming year. How much you lose today, you have to get back everything!

Alutai was not as optimistic as Ben Yashili.

His original plan was to use the cover of the defeated soldiers to grab a grab at the border of the Ming Dynasty, and retreat north immediately if he succeeded.If all goes well, there will be food for the winter.If it doesn't work, it can also set up a suspicious formation, so that the Ming Dynasty will have some scruples and delay sending troops.

What Alutai didn't expect was that Ma'erhaza and Tuohuochi changed their minds temporarily and ran away with the team!In this way, the expected force is directly halved. When encountering the main force of Wuliangha, they can escape with only a loss of 2000 people. Thank God.

Alutai's confidantes avoided Benya and lost their way, and reported the news sent back by Youqi. Hami's loyal king, Tuotuo, was gathering troops, and there were signs of sending troops.

Obviously, Tatar's successive defeats to Wala and Wuliangha made Tuotuo and other tribal leaders who paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty moved their minds.Even if you can't take advantage of the Tatars, you can get a lot of benefits by sending troops to harass and sell them to the Ming Dynasty.

"Grand Master, what should we do if Hami sends troops?"

"Take off!"

Arutai flicked his horsewhip fiercely. Without the help of the Ming Dynasty, something that could not even sit firmly on the throne would come to make trouble. He really thought that Arutai was made of paper, and anyone could step on it ?

"Continue to investigate." Alutai said with a gloomy face, "Send someone to Ma'er Haza and Tuohuochi to deliver a letter. If Grand Master Ben is defeated and captured, I want to know who will be next."

"Yes!"

After his confidant left, Alutai turned to look for Benya to lose face.

This former Yuan clan in Samarkand is an idiot with no brains, but he has been tied to a rope with this idiot, and it is impossible to kick him away.

Alutai regretted it very much.

If I knew today, why rush to kill Guilichi!

After killing Guilichi, why did he support such a thing?

It's better for him to come to power than to support a fool.Even if the reputation is as bad as Guilichi's, at least he won't get to where he is today.Before the army of the Ming Dynasty crossed the border, he became a mouse crossing the street, and he was almost desperate.

Compared to the dejected Alutai, Wuliangha Sanwei grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears, as if he was celebrating a festival.

Regardless of the head captured, just a few large boxes of gold and silver are enough for the strong men to set up a bonfire, slaughter cattle and sheep, and celebrate.

"It's best not to touch these gold and silver."

Qi Liegai took two steps forward, approaching Taining Guard Commander Hula Banhu, and said in a low voice, "If it's tea, bricks and salt, it's fine. With so much gold and silver, it's better to report it to the emperor."

"Report?" Hulabanhu frowned, with dissatisfaction on his face, "The edict says that the seizures in this battle do not need to be handed over."

"It's a matter!" Qi Liegai slightly raised his voice, "Even if the edict says so, it must be reported. Your Majesty may not see this little gold and silver, but you must understand it. This is a rare opportunity!"

"Chance?"

"Tainingwei's loyalty to His Majesty!" Qi Liegai raised his voice, "You don't want His Majesty to look at you differently?"

Hulabanhu's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood Qilegai's meaning.

The emperor made it clear that Wu Liangha did not have to hand over the spoils, but Wu Liangha's three guards couldn't really drag them all into their own tents, and they didn't even submit a memorial.

Zhu Di certainly wouldn't want Wuliangha's things, but whether to go up or not, it represents the "loyalty" and "obedience" of the three guards, which is a matter of attitude.

"Yes, you are right!"

Hulabanhu clenched his fist and slammed Qiregai on the shoulder, "Thank you for reminding me! This time I will go back and tell the commander of the capital to promote your official position!"

"Thank you!"

Qi Liegai said again: "This matter cannot be handled by one person, it is best to discuss it with the people from Duoyan Weifu and Yuwei."

"I know." Hula Banhu nodded, ordered the box to be sealed, asked Qi Liegai to lead someone to guard it, and turned to go to Duoyanwei's camp.

The leaders who can hold real power in the Three Guards are not stupid.

Hula Banhu made some explanations, and Ha'erai, Anchu and Tubushen all suddenly realized, and immediately ordered that all the gold and silver seized be sealed and reported to the emperor for disposal.

"If you only seal gold and silver, tea bricks, salt, war horses and furs, you don't have to report them. You can bring them back to the tribe."

This decision was unanimously approved by the leaders participating in the war.

"Continue to send people to follow Alutai." Ha'er said viciously, "He is the most cunning wolf on the grassland, we can't give him a chance to escape!"

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

But with Wuliangha's strength, he still couldn't eat the Tatars, so he could only wait for the conscript army assembled at the frontier guards to go out.

"There's a message from Weizhong that the holy driver is staying in Daning. Qi Ligai, you take these gold and silver to Daning."

"Yes!"

"Uncle Xingning is on a northern tour, and when he sees uncle, remember to take care of us all."

"Don't worry fellow confidantes, the humble ones will definitely be brought along."

Haernai and others agreed that 300 people would be assigned to escort Jinyin to Daning.The others were divided into two teams, one team transported the remaining loot back to the tribal garrison, and the other team continued to patrol the border, sent out on horseback, and kept a close eye on the movements of the Tatars.

The strong men knew in their hearts that the most difficult thing in conquering the army was not to defeat the enemy, but to find the enemy.If you can accurately grasp the movements of Alutai and Benya Shili, it will be a great achievement.At that time, let's see how those Jurchens will compete with themselves.

The strongest mercenary of Ming Dynasty must be Wu Liangha!

Savage Jurchen?

Where to cool off and where to rest.

If Meng Qinghe knew what the strong men were thinking, he would definitely laugh three times.Starting from the early years of Yongle, it was dedicated to sowing the relationship between the strong men and the Jurchen ministries, and now it has finally seen results.

Under the suppression of the strong men, can the Jurchen develop and rise along the historical track?

Unless the next meteorite rain smashed all the heads of the strong men out of the pit.

When Qi Liegai took the gold and silver on the road, the holy car had already arrived in Daning.

With the entry of the emperor into the city, the imperial court added schools and called on the public to recommend talents, and posted them outside the city gate and the Sansi yamen one after another.

Xing Ningbo suggested that the third division is short of manpower, so that the literate patrol inspectors, soldiers and the elderly can go to the ri to preach.

"Officials can be arranged in front of the city gate to read the announcement to the soldiers and civilians entering and leaving the city." Meng Qinghe said, "In addition, the nomination of talented people can be anonymous, and directly prepare a pen and paper or a special person to record. After the name and place of origin, send someone to the place of origin And home visits. If you insist on refusing, you can release the news among the people, and everyone will talk about it, and the reputation of scholars is the most important. At that time..."

Uncle Meng talked excitedly, Zhu Di nodded again and again, and suddenly saw that Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others had turned blue, and coughed hurriedly.

"cough!"

"His Majesty?"

When the conversation was interrupted, Meng Qing and Yu still couldn't understand it. It wasn't until Zhu Gaosui winked at him and then glanced away at Yang Shiqi and others that he realized it.

I laughed twice, sorry, I was too excited.

If you scold the bald donkey in front of the monk, you don't blame him for changing his face.

Although I am not afraid of offending a few more people, I still want to work with the court, so it is better not to poke people's feet with needles.

After a long while, Meng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief seeing the faces of Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang and others softened.When speaking again, always pay attention not to cross the line.Although the theme has not changed, the meaning is the same, at least on the surface it looks better.

"If you have no other suggestions, this matter will be carried out according to Uncle Xingning's proposal."

What else?

Dare you?

No one said anything, Zhu Di immediately made a decision, just do it, Daning will do a pilot, if the effect is significant, it will be promoted to the whole country.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Meng Qinghe shouted sincerely.

What other people think is out of his concern.

After discussing this matter, Meng Qinghe resigned, and the two emperors and grandsons followed suit. According to the rules, Meng Shaobao's class could not be stopped.

The King of Han and the King of Zhao had other important matters, and Shen Xuan had already set off for the Xuan Mansion to join Xu Huizu.Meng Qinghe is the deputy general of the Zuo Army, but he will continue to stay in Daning to accompany him until the official order to send troops is issued.

No one can change the meaning of the emperor.

The Third Division of Daning had been established, and after Emperor Yong Le entered the city, he lived in the Qianning Prince's Mansion.

During this period, Zhu Di successively summoned Zhu Wang, the commander of the Daning capital, and the chief of the three guards of Duoyan.

Dias, the French robot, was awarded an official position for his meritorious service in presenting blueprints.Although it didn't matter, it made Dias so excited that he couldn't help himself.Putting on the official uniform, he gave the ambassador of the Zaza Bureau a warm hug.

Two blue veins popped up on the ambassador's forehead, and his red hair was kicked flying, almost becoming a star in the sky.

Brushing off his sleeves, the ambassador was very indifferent, since he was in an important place in northern Xinjiang and had no skills at all.

"God!"

Even though he was kicked away, Dias still had a dreamy smile on his face, and everyone who saw it was very skeptical. This red-haired man was dumbfounded by the ambassador.

On the day Emperor Yongle summoned the ambassador of the Miscellaneous Bureau, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe met Dias.

The two emperors and grandsons are very interested in Dias himself and Franji.Especially Zhu Zhanhe, who displayed a strong studious spirit, bombarded him with various problems.When Meng Qinghe invited Santou away, Dias was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious.The interpreter also kept wiping off his sweat, Sheng Sun was too eager to learn, and almost couldn't hold on to the stage.

"Thanks for your hard work." Meng Qing said softly, "Later, I will ask you to choose five bolts of silk to send to your husband."

Five bolts of silk?

God!

The red hair immediately revived on the spot with full blood.

Uncle Meng narrowed his eyes with a smile. He hasn't seen him for a while, but the red hair hasn't changed much.

Since returning to Daning, Uncle Meng has always been in a good mood, smiling at everyone.As everyone knows, this kind of performance really makes people's backs tremble, including Dias.

The Sir is very generous, but seeing the smile of the Sir, he still wants to turn around and run away.

In the Xinuang Pavilion of Cunxin Hall, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe met head-to-head to study a map of Liaodong.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two looked up at the same time, seeing that it was Meng Qinghe, they immediately got up, "Shaobao."

"Sir."

Greeting each other, Meng Qinghe didn't let the two sit down, but said: "Today is the day of the martial arts exam, are the two princes interested in going to have a look?"

"Martial arts?" Zhu Zhanhe's eyes lit up, "But the Daning martial arts that my father talked about?"

"Exactly." Meng Qing said cohesively, "The martial arts test includes both the literary test and the martial arts test. Today is the martial arts test. Is your son interested?"

"Yes!" Zhu Zhanhe nodded vigorously, "Shaobao, I'm going!"

Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, "Does the emperor know about this matter?"

"It is His Majesty's permission that the two sons can go to the school grounds."

"Since that's the case, Gu will go."

Meng Qinghe smiled and asked someone to fetch cloaks and hats for Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe.

"Daning is no better than Jinling, it's already winter, your son should pay more attention."

"Xie Shaobao."

Zhu Zhanji has grown a lot and is already a young man.

Zhu Zhanhe was chubby and short, wrapped in a cloak, round and more like a ball.

Meng Qinghe stretched out his hand, held it, stretched out his hand again, and held it again, roaring in his heart, but finally didn't dare to squeeze it.

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't understand Uncle Meng's entanglement. Seeing Meng Qinghe not moving, he raised his head, "Shaobao, when will you get up?"

Blinking his big eyes, Meng Qinghe took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down, it's really hard, he might not be able to see the sun next year.

"immediately."

After leaving the door of Nuan Pavilion, a gust of wind blew past, Zhu Zhanhe grabbed Meng Qinghe's clothes, "Shaobao."

The meaning of the three-headed body is very clear, to hug.

Both the emperor's grandfather and father said that Shaobao is his family and an elder.

Acting like a baby to his own family, the three heads have no pressure at all.

Uncle Meng's heart began to tremble, and just as he bent over, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui came hand in hand.Seeing the three-headed body acting like a baby, my father immediately took a big step and cut off his beard brazenly.

"Uncle Wang."

"Father."

The green boy saluted, and the three heads grinned.

Uncle Meng inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again, before uttering four words through his teeth, "I have seen Your Highness."

"Uncle Xingning is unwell?"

"The next officer is very good."

"That's good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Father has already gone to the school grounds. There is a car prepared outside the mansion, Xing Ning Bo can ride with Zhan He."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "It's a matter of my own responsibility, Uncle Xingning, you don't have to be polite."

After the words fell, she turned and left with her son in her arms.

Does a gentleman hold a grandson but not a son?

The king of Han said that he didn't know there was such a rule because he didn't read much.

Daning Martial Arts, on the school grounds, six teams lined up, each tied a different color cloth scarf around their necklines, riding in lunges and fighting each other to the sound of drums.

The students selected by Wuliangha and the affiliated tribes have the best riding skills, followed by Jurchen.Most of the leaders of bows, crossbows and firearms in battle are the children of frontier generals.

On a high platform far away from the school grounds, Zhu Di was holding up his clairvoyance, watching with great interest.

Following King Han and King Zhao, Meng Qinghe had just stepped onto the high platform when a martial arts instructor stepped forward and handed him a roster.

"But the school roster?"

"Back to Uncle, that's right."

Meng Qinghe nodded, read it correctly, and presented the roster to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of students, please have a look."

Zhu Di took over the directory, and saw that the birthplace, background, and special abilities were listed next to the name in detail, and he couldn't help but praise: "That's very good!"

When the winner was decided on the field and the team was in rotation, Zhu Zhanhe held his clairvoyance, raised his head, and asked, "Father, why is this thing so far away?"

"This is clairvoyance."

"Thousands of miles can see thousands of miles? Then there is a thousand miles of eyes?"

"..."

"Shaobao said that the father is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so maybe he can clear up the doubts for the son?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glared at someone.

Meng Qinghe scratched his chin, lowered his head, and took two steps back.

It is a good thing to be eager to learn, and a father should solve his children's doubts.

Being erudite and knowledgeable...he is establishing a tall image for the king of Han, and it is entirely "good intentions".

In the school field, the drums sounded again, and the martial arts students started a new round of competition.

After three drums, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the clear sky, and the new wind suddenly rose.Everyone thought that the rain and snow were coming, so Sheng Jia was asked to move to the school for a while.

As soon as he got off the high platform, a thunderbolt suddenly struck the high platform, which happened to be where Emperor Yong Le was standing before, and the flagpole beside him burst into flames instantly.

Zhu Di's face was livid.

If he was still on stage, who would be the one struck by lightning?

What will people in the world comment on today's events?

"His Majesty……"

Someone wanted to say something, but Zhu Di's eyes swept over him, and he immediately fell silent.

King Han and King Zhao subconsciously went to see Meng Qinghe.

Uncle Meng lived up to everyone's expectations, stepped forward, raised his arms high, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a good omen!"

As soon as the words came out, the two brothers who had high hopes for him wanted to cover their faces.

good omen?

What kind of auspicious omen is it that thunder explodes in winter and Wang Qi catches fire?

Meng Qinghe said: "The thunder comes from the north, and the king's flag is on fire, it should be the dragon's power! Your Majesty's soldiers pointed out that everything is invincible, and there will be a great victory!"

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Gaoxu & Zhu Gaosui: "..."

Retinue official: "..."

Uncle Xingning, you really are a genius!

Just at this time, the Dusi sent someone to report, "Wuliangha defeated the Tatars in the north of Kelulun River. The leader of the Taining Guards, Qiliege, led a group of people to transport hundreds of gold and silver, and they have arrived outside the city gate."

brush!

Everyone's eyes focused on Uncle Meng, and the collective fell into silence.

Is there really a big victory?

It is said that Xing Ningbo is a master and apprentice of Yao Shaoshi, could it be that he really has abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people?

Touching their noses, Meng Qing and 45jiao looked at the sky.

Still the same sentence, when luck comes, it really can't be stopped.
