219 - Big Victory 2

In June of the seventh year of Yongle, he rode a fast horse into Beijing.

Soon, news of the conquest of the Tatar army spread throughout the capital.

"The heavenly army won a great victory, beheading more than [-] people, and taking more than [-] prisoners. They captured more than [-] horses, and no cattle and sheep. They captured the Tatar Taifu Youxiang Ma Erhazan alive, and the Privy Council of the Taibao was red-faced. The Tatar Khan Benya lost his way and only led a thousand cavalry to flee westward. The Tatar grand master Alutai escaped in the chaos and disappeared, so he fled north. Counting after the battle, the Tatars were scattered and the casualties were very heavy."

A battle report was not written in words, yet Emperor Yong Le read it over and over again.

"Okay!" He slapped the table with his big hand, and said with a smile, "Hui Zu lived up to my trust, won this great victory, and demonstrated the power of Ming Dynasty. He is indeed the queen of Zhongshan King!"

In addition to being happy, Zhu Di summoned the soldiers who rushed to send the battle report.

The person was brought by Yang Duo, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Change clothes, wash up, a real captain in Jinyi, no discount.

It was Meng Qinghe's idea to use Jin Yiwei to send documents.To go out with the army, you must obey the command of the commander.Do your best, make the best use of everything, not too much.

Facts have proved that Jin Yiwei's footsteps are indeed notoriously fast, and the news of the victory arrived in Beijing two days earlier than expected.

The school captain listened to Xuanshun Tianmen, and when he saw the emperor, he restrained his excitement, and bowed to him.

Commander Yang is right, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity to advance.

Even the acquaintances of Beizhen Fusi, who have worked hard for five or six years, rarely have the opportunity to face the saint.He is a small captain, and he can be summoned by the emperor just by sending good news, so he should find a place to have fun secretly.

Of course, Xingningbo should be thanked even more.

If it wasn't for Xing Ning Bo's proposal, the commander-in-chief of the conquest army, dignified Wei Guogong, the emperor's brother-in-law, who knows which onion he is?

"Your majesty bows down, long live your majesty!"

"Flat body."

Zhu Di was in a good mood and everything he saw was pleasing to the eye.Tolai is simple and honest, with a righteous face and a loud voice, and his good mood has stepped up to a new level.

The Son of Heaven is close to the army, so be it!

In fact, Meng Qinghe was also surprised.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's thug, that's right.

Beizhen Fusi can stop children from crying at night, and he is the Ming Royal Detective and Intelligence Department, so it is also true.

But from Jinyiwei Commander Yang Duo down, Tongzhi, Qianshi, Qianhu, Xiaowei, all of them are handsome, mighty and majestic, and many of them are after meritorious service.Even the helpers of Lishi are from good families. After strict screening, it is difficult to find someone whose appearance is not good for the society.

This is completely different from the large-scale casting of nets in the East Factory and the West Factory, and the three teachings and nine streams are all covered.Should it be said that the aesthetics of pure men are really different?

Based on the appearance index of Jinyiwei in the early Ming Dynasty, only the generals of the Han Dynasty and the standard-bearer guards can still be compared.

In terms of overall quality, the standard-bearer guard can only squat in the corner and draw circles.

The emperor's 26 guards compete in martial arts, and the guards in Jinyi are the standard bearers. One is positive and the other is negative.The outstanding ones are gaining military exploits in the southwest of northern Xinjiang, and Mo Liu has already taken over from Xiaolingwei's brother to guard the imperial tomb.

"The victory in this battle depends entirely on the hard work of the soldiers. When the class teacher returns to the court, I will personally welcome him."

When the captain was called up, he didn't dare to look up, he could only respond to what the emperor said.Fortunately, when asked about the situation of the war, he was able to answer them one by one, and his stuttering was considered fluent, which did not spoil the emperor's interest.Because of his good performance, he was rewarded with five ingots of treasure notes.

"Teacher of the army, the commander must ask for credit, and rewards will be given at that time."

In short, these five ingots of treasure banknotes are extra rewards, not counted as military exploits.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

The captain kowtowed again, his face flushed with excitement.After exiting the hall, the fiery emotions gradually cooled down by the wind, but he still couldn't help but want to jump high.

Unable to jump high, he could only clenched his fists, found a corner where no one was around, and waved it twice vigorously.

Developed, developed now!

After being summoned by the emperor, he returned to Beizhen Fusi, and his official position will definitely be promoted to a higher level.If you are lucky, you may be transferred to the commander's side to listen to you.

Think about the brothers who are on missions with Commander Yang, at worst they are thousands of households.Just like Zhi Jigang, he was still a monk halfway, how is he doing now?Who doesn't take a high look?

If he can be reused by Commander Yang, his future will be limitless.

Thinking of this, Xiaowei felt hot again.Brother Wei Zhong who accompanied the army to the game said that Uncle Xing Ning was a nobleman.As long as he can get Xingning Bo's blue eyes, he will be successful in the morning and evening.

In retrospect, this statement is true.

After the captain left, Zhu Di put down the good news and opened the note from Yang Duo, his good mood gradually disappeared.

After a while, Zhu Di sneered and said, "Pu'an Prefecture again?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, there were thieves in Guizhou, Pu'an Prefecture, Zhenning Prefecture, and Anshun Prefecture. They were found in Pu'an Prefecture, Zhenning Prefecture, and Anshun Prefecture. The officers and soldiers encircled and killed more than a thousand people twice, but the bandits escaped."

"Is Prince Ping's Mansion related to this matter?"

"I dare not speak in vain," Yang Duo said, "but the leader of the bandit has disappeared in Pu'an Prefecture, and the officers and soldiers can't find it anywhere."

Zhu Di didn't speak, his face became more and more gloomy.

"What's the matter with Hu Ming?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Hu Shidu was ordered by His Majesty to search for the traces of the immortals. He arrived in Guizhou in April and Pu'an in May. He has stayed for several days."

"Didn't you go to Prince Ping's Mansion?"

"No. But..."

"speak!"

"Prince Ping seems to be infected with miasma, and he is seriously ill in bed. The Prince Ping's mansion is looking for a doctor."

Zhu Di lowered his gaze and knocked on the table, "Prince Ping did not report this matter."

The vassal king is sick, and he is the emperor's own son, so he should go on the table and invite the imperial physician to treat him.Although Zhu Di didn't like Zhu Gaochi's various behaviors, but the nature of father and son, Zhu Di will not sit back and watch his son seriously ill and not send someone to treat him.Both the envoy Zhao and the two judges of Kuangtai Hospital had a lot of experience in treating miasma, and the judge Liu also went to Annan with the army.If you are indeed infected with miasma, you should report to the table as soon as possible.So far, what are you thinking?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di's face became more and more ugly, my good son!

Yang Duo bowed his head without saying a word.

"Come on." Zhu Di said coldly, "Prince Ping doesn't show up, I just pretend I don't know about it. The rebellion is handed over to the Xuanwei Department of Guizhou, and the head of the rebellion must be captured, regardless of life or death. Those who hide and conceal the traces of rebels, and rebels Thieves are the same crime. Those who are officials, the crime is aggravated."

"Yes!"

"Send people to Pu'an Prefecture again, see Hu Wei, and ask him if the matter has progressed. Finding the immortal is a major event, and there should be no delay. I am waiting for his news."

"I obey the order." Yang Duo agreed.

"Go back."

"My minister retire."

Yang Duo got up and backed out of the hall.

The door of the temple opened and closed again.

The momentary sunlight poured in, and after sitting alone on the desk for a long time, Emperor Yong Le suddenly got up and swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground.The note presented by Yang Duo was torn into pieces.

Yang Duo didn't look back, stepped down from Majesty Shi, raised his head, his eyelashes moved slightly, and his slightly thin lips curled into a cooler arc.Dressed in a bright red brocade robe, she couldn't feel any temperature, and it only made the viewers feel chills in their bones.

Bai Yanhui, who was serving in the hall, knelt on the ground, wishing he could turn into a brick.

What exactly was King Ping thinking, that he was actually guarding against the emperor?Really confused!

Father and son, monarch and minister.

Once it is heard by the outside world, will it make the world suspect that King Ping is unfilial and unkind, suspect the elders, or criticize the emperor for being unkind and cruel, and be wary of his own son?

Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Bai Yan turned black before his eyes and lowered his head even lower.Touching the ground, the forehead was icy cold, but the neckline was soaked in sweat.

Zhu Zhanhe, who was attending a lecture in the Nuan Pavilion, couldn't sit still when he heard the news of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang.

The army is victorious, should Shaobao come back?Although Xia Shangshu is the master appointed by the emperor's grandfather, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he must respect the teacher, and he cannot say that the master is not good, but he still prefers to listen to Shaobao's lectures.

Zhu Zhanhe obviously slipped away, Xia Yuanji coughed twice, and straightened his face, "I haven't finished writing, my son, please concentrate and don't lose your mind."

"Xia Shangshu, I just want to see the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Zhanhe raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation, "The army has won, and I want to ask the emperor's grandfather for something."

"Today's class is not over yet." Xia Yuanji shook his head. If you have any questions, you can ask them after class.Want to skip class?Absolutely not.

"An extra half an hour to practice calligraphy tomorrow."

"The son of the world should know that today's affairs should be completed today."

"This statement is true, but Gu Ye has exceptions." After a pause, Zhu Zhanhe pointed at his chubby fingers, "Xia Shangshu also said that it is urgent to follow the power."

"My lord, this sentence should not be used like this."

"Xia Shangshu, just this once?"

The white and fat New Year picture doll, with big watery eyes, is extremely lovable.

Xia Situ pulled his beard, and then pulled his beard again, and finally his heart softened, and he was completely defeated.

"Just once."

"Thank you Xia Shangshu!"

The wish was fulfilled, but Zhu Zhanhe did not get carried away, got up in a regular manner, and saluted meticulously, until Xia Yuanji said that he could go, and then left the Nuan Pavilion with the eunuch who was serving him.

"Xia Situ is too much for the prince." The professor of the Han Palace is in charge of teaching Zhu Zhanhe to practice calligraphy. It is said that it was hand-picked by His Highness the Empress.

"Arrogance is tantamount to drowning. The old man understands Professor Liu's meaning. However, the son is still young and too restrained, which will inevitably wear down his temper. He is smart but lacks aura, and being too rigid may not be a good thing."

"This..." Professor Liu frowned, "Is it exaggerating?"

"When you teach the son how to learn calligraphy, you should understand that the son is intelligent by nature but not arrogant. He is pure in nature but not weak. He has rules in his actions and is good at listening to others, but he is not indeterminate and unruly. The emperor trusts us and asks us to teach the son , You should teach him the knowledge of governing the world, etiquette and virtue, so as to inherit the foundation of the ancestors. It is not to be bound by the old-fashioned education. The difference, Professor Liu, must think deeply before he can understand it clearly."

Professor Liu looked solemn and did not refute.The line of sight fell on the large characters Zhu Zhanhe had just finished writing. The characters were still immature, and one could tell at a glance that they were written by children.There is a hidden strength of character between the strokes of the pen, firm and unbending, but not domineering.During the turning point, there is a sense of harmony.A few years later, it will definitely be a big success. Compared with today's and Hanwang's wild strokes, it is much better.

Not to mention the King of Han, the imperial pens written today have not been transcribed, and few newcomers in the officialdom can understand them.Back then, he also practiced hard in wild grass before he was able to enter the palace of the Han Dynasty, become an official of the Han Dynasty, and then taught his sons to practice calligraphy...

Thinking about it now, I can only say that the past is unbearable.

After a while, Professor Liu withdrew his thoughts, wiped off his cold sweat, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Xia Situ for your reminder."

Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "I don't dare to mention something, it's just for mutual encouragement."

In fact, he wanted to discuss with Xing Ningbo the method of teaching the prince of the Han Dynasty more than a professor at the Han Dynasty's mansion.Although he knew that Uncle Xingning was talented, he was still quite surprised when he was teaching the son of the King of Han.

On the map of the Ming Dynasty, the sons of the King of Han knew all about it, and all the provinces and states were able to point out the specific location.The northern frontier town, an important military location, is even better.

If this is not surprising, the foreign countries in the southwest, the tribes in the Liaodong region of the northern Xinjiang, the foreign countries such as Korea, Japan, and Ryukyu, and the western foreign countries that pay tribute, such as Java and Sumatra, can all tell one thing or two, so Xia Yuanji has to be asked. Shock.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji was quite surprised, the Prince of Han looked puzzled and asked him, "Shaobao said that these are common sense, isn't it right?"

Is this common sense?

Xia Situ was astonished, and suddenly felt that his decades of reading had been wasted.

"Shaobao also taught Gu a lot."

Out of a child's show-off mentality, Zhu Zhanhe spread out the special firecrackers given to him by Meng Qinghe, spread out an army formation map that could occupy half of the warm pavilion, and drew it into an album of idioms and classics, and a brief excerpt of Zizhi's classics. Jian, Hou Han Shu, etc., etc., were moved out in one go.

Every time he took out one, Xia Yuanji's eyes widened, and finally, his jaw dropped to the ground.

"Shaobao said that Gu is still young and can't read a big tome... Gu doesn't understand what a big tome means." Zhu Zhanhe sat upright and said seriously, "Shaobao said that these can be regarded as Read the story. If you don’t understand it alone, you can ask the Pope’s grandfather and father. If the emperor’s grandfather and father are not free, please ask the Pope’s grandmother and concubine. However, reading should not exceed two hours a day, and the remaining half an hour should be read. Playing on the school grounds."

"play?"

"Gu can use hand crossbows! He also learned how to use a knife with Uncle Wang. The grandfather said that when Gu grows up to at least reach the waist of the father, please ask Duke Dingguo to teach Gu to practice martial arts."

Xia Yuanji couldn't pick up his chin anymore.

"Shaobao also said that these books were compiled by Yao Shaoshi, and he specially asked for them."

Xia Yuanji looked at Zi Zhi Tong Jian and Hou Han Shu, his head was buzzing.Is this what the prince of Han should learn at his age?The point is, it seems to be able to learn!

He should have expected that to become Master Yao's apprentice, he was already an extraordinary person.

I am ashamed of myself.

After being severely beaten, Xia Yuanji lifted his spirits and put in 12 points of effort in teaching Zhu Zhanhe to read.Zhu Di was a little bit sorry for his hard work, and took the initiative to discuss with the six heavenly officials. The salary amount set by Emperor Taizu Gao could not be changed. Why don't we issue less money and replace it with Lumi?During the cold and summer seasons, give out more benefits, and everyone will have more money on hand.

Salary increase?

OK, great!

The six heavenly officials all nodded like pounding rice.Knowing that the cause was Xia Shangshu, among the six volumes, Xia Shangshu's popularity exploded instantly.

In addition to improving salary performance, Emperor Yong Le also gave Xia Yuanji a small stove many times to give bonuses.

Treasure banknotes, gold and silver are indispensable, and cloth, silk and spices are even more important.

The news was sent back to Nanjing, and Empress Xu specially summoned Xia's wife.And with the rank of a gentleman, give the wife's reward.He also praised Xia Yuanji's two sons and daughters. There was no reward, but it was an honor that others couldn't ask for.

Who the queen praises and rewards is tantamount to the weather vane of the Sacred Heart.

If it weren't for Xia Yuanji's accompanying northern tour, the threshold of Nanjing Xia Mansion would have been trampled flat.

Xia Yuanji's family did not get complacent, but they were more cautious in their words and deeds, wishing to use a ruler to measure their walking.Shuren in the mansion wrote a letter in person, explaining the situation, and ordered the family to rush to Beijing.When he issued the guide, he learned that he was from the Xia family, the clerk was very happy and did not make things difficult.

From the court officials to the clerks, they all knew that according to the attitude of the palace, Xia Shangshu's official position would be as stable as Mount Tai.Once the emperor is happy, it is possible to be promoted to a higher official position.

There are rumors that since Hongwu dismissed Zhongshu Province, there has been no more civil servants in the imperial court.It is unlikely that Xia Shangshu will be able to set this precedent.

It was also mentioned that Xia Yuanji had a personal relationship with Meng Qinghe.It is said that before Uncle Xingning went out with the army, Xia Shangshu specially went to the mansion to pay a visit, and the two wanted it very much.Almost sworn brother.Xia Shangshu was able to teach the sons of the King of Han, and was recommended by Uncle Xingning.

Guesses and rumors abounded, and all eyes focused on Xia Yuanji.

Envious, disgusted, curious, jealous.

As Xia Yuanji had expected, his reputation in the court was polarized.There are those who make good friends, there are those who flatter, and there are also those who cut off their righteousness.Xia Shangshu was not affected at all, and he was certain in his heart that whoever had the last laugh would be the winner.

Xing Ningbo did not stick to small details, but he always said unexpected words, although not elegant, but pointed to the heart of the matter.

Xia Shangshu could think about it, and the Xia family closed their doors to live their own lives.

Zhu Zhanhe entangled Zhu Di and ran to Fengtianmen several times a day. The main purpose can be summed up in one sentence: the battle has been won, when will Shaobao come back?

Zhu Di was so entangled that he couldn't do anything about it, but he couldn't get angry at all. It was because his grandson was so rare that he couldn't let him go, and he couldn't open his mouth.In desperation, they had no choice but to send someone to recall Zhu Gaoxu who had not long returned to the Xuan Mansion.

If you want to fight, there are plenty of opportunities, so let's coax your son well first.Otherwise, I will throw you back to Nanjing, and stare at the civil servants every day!

This is intimidation, Chiguoguo's intimidation.It happens to be quite effective.

The father threatened his son, but the son had nowhere to reason.Zhu Gaoxu could only pack his bags and obediently returned to Beijing. Before leaving, he beat up Zhu Gaosui who was gloating.

Watch the fun?

For the brother, let the virtuous brother see enough!The head is swollen, is it powerful enough?

In July of the seventh year of Yongle, Huozhen, Hou of Tong'an, and Wang Cong, Hou of Wucheng, returned to Beijing to offer prisoners.Xu Hui, the Duke of Wei, led the remaining troops westward to pursue the remnants of the Tatars.The most important purpose is to capture Ben Yashili and Alutai.

Shen Xuan was ordered to lead the left army as the forward.

Due to the vast area, in order to save time, the strikers were divided into three groups. As the deputy general, Meng Qinghe led the way by himself, and the main forces under his command were Shenjiying and Tainingwei.

From the first ten days of June to the first ten days of July, the only task of the army is to find people.

"It's enough for Benya to lose face."

Meng Qinghe was riding on a horse, with half a pancake in his mouth, looking into the distance.

The vast grassland, the blue sky and white clouds seem to form a line.

He can be sure that if the direction is correct, Ben Yashili must have gone to the Tatar territory.As for Alutai, it's hard to say.

Just as he was thinking, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose in front of him, and there was a faint sound of thunder.From the looks of it, it doesn't look like a scout sent by the army.

"alert!"

With an order, the cavalry immediately lined up.

The shieldmen stepped forward quickly and lined up, while the crossbowmen and gunmen took their positions. If the enemy came, they would be smashed into a sieve if they met each other.The cavalry was on the flanks, ready to charge at any moment.

The other party also spotted Meng Qinghe's team, and stopped suddenly at a distance of about 500 meters.A knight rode forward and raised his right arm, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon.

At 300 meters, the appearance of the knight became more and more clear.High nose and deep eyes, almost brown complexion, quite different from the appearance of the Tatar and Uliangha strong men, but they are the same leather cap and leather robe.

The commander of the Taining Guard Commander Qi Lie should recognize the person, rode his horse to Meng Qinghe's side, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, you are from Wala, be careful!"

Wala people?

There is still some distance from the Oala border here, why did the Oirats appear here?

What do the Wala want?

Taking advantage of Tatar being defeated by the Ming army, taking advantage of the territory, and...

As the people approached, Meng Qinghe slowly narrowed his eyes.
