Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 271 269-Duoyan Sanwei Enters [Silver League Addition]

As time passed, October arrived as scheduled.

The cold wind also began to no longer only patronize the Northland area, and gradually spread to Nanjing City in an orderly manner.

On this day, Huang Zicheng got the military report from the front line and jumped up excitedly. He put on his coat and braved the cold wind and headed towards Fengtian Temple.

There was scorching heat in his heart, even if the cold wind hit his face, he didn't feel the cold. Instead, he thought a little narcissistically, he was so unafraid of cold and heat, could he be a model of loyal ministers?

The more he thought about it, the more he deliberately raised his head against the cold wind, the colder his face was hit by the cold wind, the more moved he was.

He even hilariously simulated in his mind a picture of loyal ministers proudly serving the country in the cold wind.

How disgusting how disgusting.

When he saw Zhu Yunqi, he deliberately showed his frozen red hands, and handed the military report to Zhu Yunqi.

It's a pity that Zhu Yunqi didn't pay attention to this love, even if Huang Zicheng pretended to cough twice, Zhu Yunqi turned a blind eye to it.

Because Zhu Yunqi was burning with anger at the moment, he had no time to think about other things.

This anger came from the news that he had just learned that Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin in Liaodong, had secretly communicated with Zhu Di.

Zhu Yunwen roared angrily in his heart.

Another person who secretly informed Zhu Di!
How many lords and military generals in this court have two hearts? !
Zhu Yunwen asked himself, but he didn't know.

But Zhu Yunqi has been deeply guarded and afraid of this.

He is like an inferiority complex paranoid patient, suspicious of everyone who might look down on him. This kind of psychology stems from all the things he has experienced since he was a child. Before he succeeded to the throne, he clearly learned from many people. Feeling malice and disdain.

Son?Bastard?
Regardless of these for now.

But he clearly knew that none of his military personnel would support his background, so he hated military personnel.

Therefore, he firmly believed in everyone who might have secretly contacted Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report from the front." Huang Zicheng reminded Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunqi came back to his senses, but he was not in a hurry to read the military newspaper immediately, instead he said coldly to Qi Tai who was beside him: "Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao secretly communicated to Zhu Di, and sent an order to cut his title, move his family and Guangxi, and in addition Let Governor Yang Wen supervise Liaodong affairs and strictly guard Liaodong."

Qi Tai sensed Zhu Yunqi's hatred, and originally wanted to ask if he would check it out in detail, but now he didn't dare to say more, and then he accepted the order honestly and bowed down.

After all, in wartime, it is not wrong to cut the mess quickly.

At this time Zhu Yunqi took a few deep breaths, and when he calmed down a bit, he didn't think about reading the military newspaper. He opened the military newspaper and looked down twice, but these two glances made Zhu Yunqi stand up excitedly.

He blushed and said: "That's great, Mr. Cao Guo really lived up to my high expectations, he really lived up to my high expectations."

As Zhu Yunwen said, he looked at the military newspaper word by word. The content in it was like the beautiful scenery in the sky, so Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear to look away.

Huang Zicheng echoed with a smile: "Duke Cao's troops are heading in a direction that is as powerful as a broken bamboo. Now that Zhuozhou has been conquered, it only needs to be rectified a little, and they can go straight to Peiping."

To Zhu Yunqi, this news was like ice brew in midsummer. It not only wiped out the anger caused by Jiangyin Hou Wu Gao's incident, but also made Zhu Yunqi happy immediately.

These days, Zhu Di has long been a heart problem for him. Now that he has made great progress, how can Zhu Yunqi's excitement be controlled.

He calculated the time in his mind, and it hasn't been long since Li Jinglong traveled to Dezhou, and his expression suddenly cheered up: "Cao Guogong is worthy of being the son of King Qiyang. , presumably in a few days, I will be able to become a class teacher, and then I will definitely make a lot of fun and put on a show to welcome Cao Guogong in person."

Huang Zicheng echoed Zhu Yunwen with a smile.

Zhu Yunwen was in a good mood, and he couldn't help thinking of the scene where Huang Zicheng supported Li Jinglong at that time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang is really a minister of my humerus. If you hadn't supported Cao Guogong back then, I would have been hesitant about Cao Guogong."

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he was in a good mood for a while: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister. In the final analysis, Cao Guogong lived up to the spirit and lived up to His Majesty's great trust."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile, looking at Huang Zicheng, he couldn't help thinking that he was lucky, with such a capable minister, why worry about the Ming Dynasty being in trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi suddenly became in a mood and wanted to go out for a walk.

So, he took Huang Zicheng and walked outside.

It was a bit chilly outside. Zhu Yunwen, who had just come outside, was immediately cleared by the chill. He looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains, and then at the palace, which was as deep as the sea.

Inexplicably, Zhu Yunwen thought of how terrified Zhu Di would look when he asked Zhu Di why he turned against him after he was kidnapped and sent to the palace.

It must be interesting.

Zhu Yunxuan pointed at the sky and the earth, and suddenly said to Huang Zicheng: "Look at the winter coming, it's fierce and urgent, it reminds me of the winter nine years ago, it was so aggressive, when I was on the porch Seeing the fourth uncle hurriedly come to see the great grandfather, hehe, the fourth uncle was young at that time, he was really majestic, not angry but mighty, it's just a pity, a pity."

Unfortunately what goes without saying.

Huang Zicheng didn't say much knowingly, but began to ponder in his heart.

nine years ago?
Isn't that the 23rd year of Hongwu?

That year seemed to be the first time that King Yan took command of the Northern Expedition, and surrendered Beiyuan Naier, Buhua and others. If it was really that time, King Yan would not be majestic.

Just not angry, how did His Majesty feel?

Could it be that something else happened at that time?
……

In Beiping City, in Yanwang's mansion, Zhu Gaochi looked at Li Rang's dusty appearance, and stood up in shock: "What, Zhuozhou guard Li Sicheng died while fighting?!"

Li Rang said with tears in his voice: "Not only General Li, but the 2000 soldiers in the city, except myself and [-] people who rushed out, all the others died in the battle in Zhuozhou City."

Zhu Gaochi was surprised again, how could Li Jinglong's troops be so strong that Zhuozhou Jiancheng had only defended for a few days.

He sat down on the chair, and the chair creaked as if it couldn't bear the weight.

Seeing this, Monk Daoyan took the initiative to take over the inquiry.

"I don't know Li Junma, can you tell the poor monk about the situation of the battle in Zhuozhou City in detail? This may help us to prepare for Li Jinglong's army in the future."

"Nature knows everything."

Li Rang nodded, and then began to speak in detail.

After Li Rang finished his narration, Monk Daoyan clasped his hands together, and after reciting a Buddhist saying, he said: "Li Junma spoke in detail, the son is currently in a state of confusion, and Li Junma is rushing all the way, why don't you go down and rest first, wait If there is anything that needs to be discussed at night, how about we discuss it later?"

Li Rang looked at Zhu Gaochi, and seeing that Zhu Gaochi was really restless, he nodded.

It's just that when he was about to retreat, Dao Yan suddenly said again: "Now that the city of Zhuozhou is broken, only Beiping is left. We have no way to retreat. I hope Li Junma will regain his mentality and help the prince defend the city with all his might." .”

Li Rang froze, then smiled and said, "It's natural."

After finishing speaking, Li Rang didn't wait any longer, and slowly retreated.

After Li Rang went down, Zhu Gaochi immediately recovered his clear state. He looked at Dao Yan, frowned and said: "There is no flaw in the words, but Li Si can't rush out even a general, but Li Rang rushed with his soldiers. Come out, this is somewhat weird."

"Whether there is something weird or not, there is no need to talk about things without evidence. Now that we are employing people, we should gather all available people. If we just have some doubts, we will make a big fuss and mess ourselves up. It is better to make more arrangements in the future. Let it not be bad." Dao Yan said.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, but then thought for a while and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid that he is timid and fearful. I was afraid to withdraw from Zhuozhou City ahead of time. I was afraid that Li Si would be killed by him during the battle. Master may not know Li Si. But I do know that my brother-in-law Zhen Wu has praised him many times, and I think he is extraordinary."

"Oh?"

Dao Yan asked: "Then what do you want?"

Zhu Gaochi said with certainty in his eyes: "When the time comes, force him to go to the city for a bloody battle and try his luck."

"That's fine too."

In the room, Zhu Gaochi and Dao Yan were discussing things one by one, while scattered snowflakes were falling in the grassland on the north ground. Zhen Wu and his party finally came to Duoyanwei under the snowy weather.

Zhen Wu was in a hurry all the way, only thinking about finishing his errands as soon as possible, and going to Daning to join the army with Zhu Di. After all, Li Jinglong's army was on his back, so he had to buy all the time.

So he didn't know much about the battle in Zhuozhou City.

Not only did he not know that he hadn't changed history, but Li Jinglong was still pointing at Beiping City, and he didn't know that one of the people he valued had already died in the battle of Jingnan.

At this moment, Zhen Wu only had Duo Yanwei in his eyes.

Duoyanwei people call themselves Wuliangha people, Zhen Wu chose this place as the first stop, firstly because he has the closest relationship with Tuluhuchaer, and secondly, since Azashili was wiped out, Duoyanwei was supported by Zhu Di , the strength has expanded rapidly, and has surpassed Tainingwei to become the talker among the three guards.

Zhen Wu reined in the horse, his eyes staring like falcons. Because of their appearance, Duo Yanwei quickly put himself on guard, and he didn't care about the cracked corners of his mouth and the small snow particles that hit his face like sand. care.

It seemed that he had already adapted to the weather.

And the two thousand soldiers he brought with him here were all silent and motionless, the appearance of an iron army was self-evident.

Tulu Huchaer quickly greeted the people sent by Zhen Wu to report.

From a distance, Tulu Huchaer shouted: "Oh, Brother Zhen, why did you come all the way to my place? If you need anything, just send someone to say no. My brother will definitely take care of it for you!" .”

Tulu Huchaer is now the head of the Wuliangha tribe. He met Zhen Wu in Baicheng in the early years. Later, in the 24th year of Hongwu, when Zhen Wu and the others conquered Azashili in Tainingwei, they cooperated. Therefore, these years After coming down, they have been in constant contact, and the two of them can be said to be quite familiar with each other.

Zhen Wu greeted him with a smile, snorted coldly and said: "What? Come to see my brother, do I need to report to you?"

"How could it be possible? I'm glad you came and it's too late. Let's talk inside." Tulu Huchaer said with a smile, inviting Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu turned around and pointed to his soldiers: "My brothers are rushing along with me, you prepare some food and grass, and send a few sheep to entertain you, and I will give you a big surprise later."

"What a big surprise, not a big surprise, we brothers don't talk about that, as for food and grass..." Tuolu Huchaer laughed twice and said: "When I see you, I will let someone prepare it, and I will never let you choose I made a mistake, speaking of it, if it wasn't for you, how could I have met King Yan, and if I hadn't met King Yan, how could I be in this situation."

Zhen Wu saw that Tulu Hucha'er's attitude towards him was not bad, and his mood improved, a sly flash flashed in his eyes.

"No, no, no, one size equals one size, and the big surprise still has to be given."

Tuolu Huchaer glanced at the people behind Zhen Wu, and saw two boxes on a horse at a glance. He guessed that the big surprise Zhen Wu was talking about was probably these two boxes.

But he didn't take the initiative to talk about it, and walked into his tribe with Zhen Wu.

Soon.

A group of people had already arrived at Tulu Huchaer's big tent, and when Zhen Wu walked in, he found that there was actually an old acquaintance of him in the tent.

Arutai.

Speaking of which, this guy has been in the wind and water recently, a small tribe with a big fart, relying on his relationship with Duoyanwei, he has also risen rapidly, and even joined an Eastern Grassland Alliance.

The leader of the alliance he joined is called Guilichi, and his full name is Boer Jijin Yuelu Timur. They formed an alliance and are violently beating the remaining royal family of Beiyuan. After a glance, I still don't give up. It is estimated that within two years, the golden family in Mongolia can only go to history to find it.

As for Alutai, this thief Huhu didn't take any responsibility, and planned to support Guilichi as the new Great Khan and establish a new regime. This regime, as Zhen Wu knew, would be called Tatar in later generations.

Zhen Wu knew the news, and it was also because Beiping had always guarded against the Mongols, so he had been investigating the Mongols all these years. If something went wrong, the grassland was expected to be unified, and Zhen Wu and the others would definitely send troops to sort out the grassland.

At this moment, when Zhen Wu saw Alutai, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Alutai, why don't you have time to come here if you're not busy supporting your new Khan?"

Alutai was obviously taken aback when he saw Zhen Wu.

"It's okay for me to come to my brother-in-law's house for a stroll, but it's difficult for you not to accompany Yan Wang Jing, so it's a little strange to appear here."

Later, Alutai indeed married his sister to Duoyanwei, and gained a brother-in-law.

Zhen Wu snorted twice: "What's so strange about this, do you still believe that someone can defeat His Highness King Yan? They are all small characters, not worth mentioning."

"is it?"

There was an interested smile on Alutai's face: "But it's not important, and I don't care about it, but I have something to ask. At the beginning of last year, who helped Mahamu move westward? Brother Zhen , don’t say that it has nothing to do with Daming.”

As soon as these words fell, the temperature in the big tent seemed to drop a little bit immediately.

Zhen Wu's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Arutai, who gave you the courage to ask me this? Do you think we don't have time to go to the grassland to take care of your new Khan? Even if you think so , but believe me or not, even if you are Wu Liangha's brother-in-law, you won't get any support from them?!"

"You..." Alutai's expression darkened, and he stood up.

Tulu Huchaer hurriedly smoothed things over: "Oh, what's the matter? We're all brothers. We've known each other for so many years and it's ridiculous to quarrel when we meet."

Alutai disdains in his heart, brother? !
Brotherhood funding rival tribes?
Don't you want the grassland to never have peace?

But Alutai wanted to go back, but if he really fell out with Daming, Alutai was really unwilling.

After all, Da Ming's strength is obvious to all, and their tribe also needs a lot of Da Ming's items. It really annoys Da Ming, but they are the ones who feel uncomfortable.

Alutai hummed twice and stopped talking.

Seeing Alutai's unconvinced look, Zhen Wu sneered in his heart, waiting, once the civil war is over, I will definitely come and have fun with you.

What kind of Tatar, Wala, if he can still jump up in this life, his mother Zhen Wu has no ability.

However, Zhen Wu also had a smile on his face, swept away the tense atmosphere just now, and deliberately said to Alutai: "It is true that we two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, there is no need to quarrel over a small character like Mahamu, and besides Said that you, Alutai, beat Mahamu like a dog and ran around like a dog, are you still afraid of him?"

Small role?
Alutai snorted coldly in his heart, is the small role worthy of Daming's help to move westward?I really think their grassland is not messy enough, but at this moment Alutai also wants to understand that he can't turn his face, so he also smiled and agreed: "Indeed, that kind of stuff is not worth our quarrel over it."

Zhen Wu laughed.

Afterwards, Tuolu Huchaer was brought up to eat, and the three of them chatted while eating, and after drinking for three rounds and eating a meal, Tuolu Huchaer asked Zhen Wu.

"Brother Zhen, we have been friends for many years. You can tell me what's going on here this time."

Zhen Wu looked at Tulu Huchaer, then at Alutai, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from Alutai, so he didn't plan to avoid Alutai.

He said sincerely to Tulu Huchaer: "Brother, you have been talking about how my brother treats you all these years."

"Not bad, nothing to say."

"That's fine."

Zhen Wu shouted towards the door: "Bring the things in."

Several soldiers carried the box into the big tent, Zhen Wu got up and walked over, opened the box, revealing the gold and silver treasures inside.

Tulu Huchaer was startled: "What does this mean?"

Zhen Wu asked without answering: "Do you like it?"

Who the hell wouldn't like this stuff.

What's more, although they have been able to conduct business transactions with King Yan these years, they were not rich that time, so how could they not like these things.

Even Alutai's eyes are shining at this moment.

Seeing their demeanor, Zhen Wu felt more confidence in his heart, and once again threw out a trump card and said: "This is just a deposit, and there will be a big thank you after the matter is completed."

Tuluhuchaer with difficulty moved his eyes away from the jeweled box, moved his throat subconsciously, and said with some trembling: "Brother, you'd better tell me what's going on first, or I can't see it, brother." Practical."

"Simple."

Zhen Wu looked at Tuolu Huchaer and said, "Borrow troops."

Borrowing soldiers?

Tulu Huchaer fell silent, and began to carefully weigh in his mind.

Although from the bottom of his heart he didn't want to get involved in the Ming Dynasty's civil war, after all, now that Ming Dynasty is too powerful, he can't afford to mess with it, but the money was too much.

Tulu Huchaer struggled for a while, and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Twenty thousand cavalry."

"What?!" Tulu Huchaer stood up all of a sudden, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, we only have so many people, how could it be possible to borrow so much from you? Even if you kill me, it's impossible Give you so much."

"Listen to me first, I will not only borrow from you, but also from Wengniu Tebu, who are all like you, and Quanningwei, Yumuwei, and a total of 2 people will be enough for me," Zhen Wu said. .

Unexpectedly, Tulu Huchaer still refused.

"That's not okay, that's too much, and this matter is too risky. If King Yan loses, our son will not be able to come back, and our pasture will not be able to keep in the future."

Zhen Wu frowned. He didn't know how many people from the Duoyan Sanwei participated in Jingnan in history, but he had calculated it himself. If Duoyan Sanwei plus Quanningwei and other tribes added 2 people to him, it shouldn't be a big problem for him.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu also gritted his teeth and said: "You can't, I can't, it must be [-]." Speaking of this, Zhen Wu paused and said: "I know what you are worried about, but you can think about it, King Yan Have you ever been defeated in these years, and I, Zhen Wu, have been defeated in these years, and you had better hope that King Yan will win, because once we can't get along in Daming, then we can only come to your grassland to beg for a living, when the time comes I can't help looking at that pasture."

As Zhen Wu said, he also looked at Alutai, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Alutai, maybe we will still be neighbors by then, we should greet each other well, and see if your son-in-law can hit me .”

Arutai was startled.

He still recognized Zhen Wu's strength very much. He hadn't seen a warrior from that tribe be braver than Zhen Wu in these years, and if King Yan entered the grassland, he would always be a member of Ming Dynasty. How could there be no one to support King Yan in secret.

He could rise with the support of Duoyan Sanwei, so couldn't King Yan also rise to become the overlord of the grassland with the support of Daming? !

Alutai said solemnly: "The people of our grassland will not let the Ming people live in the grassland."

At this time, all tribes have become grassland people?

The Mongolian ministries are really interesting.

Zhen Wu snorted and said, "Really? Then we have no road ahead and no bridge behind, so we can only pick a few pleasing ones as our backs. Alutai, do you think we are pleasing to the eye?"

After he finished talking to Alutai, he immediately turned around and looked at Tulu Huchaer: "Brother, don't be nervous. We have been friends for so many years, and I will never think of you."

Tuluhuchaer's heart skipped a beat, and he really wanted to ask Zhen Wu, do you fucking guess if I believe it or not.

But this kind of consequence, he had to think about it.

When Zhen Wu said this, he didn't force him anymore, and gave Tuolu Huchaer enough time to think about it. After waiting for a while, Zhen Wu asked, "Brother, how are you? Do you want to take back the gold, silver and jewels?" No charge?"

On the one hand, it is gold, silver and jewelry, and on the other hand, it may completely break with King Yan.

This…

"Can the King of Yan win?" Tuolu Huchaer asked, thinking of the years when he was in trouble with the help of the King of Yan.

Zhen Wu nodded: "We must win."

Tuolu Hucha'er felt a little more at ease, he knew what King Yan was capable of, if King Yan won, he would offend King Yan, and there would be no good results for him in the future.

He finally thought about it, and asked again: "Is this really a deposit?"

Zhen Wu was speechless immediately.

Brother Jiaqian is really a lot of motherfuckers.

"Don't worry, I, Zhen Wu, come here in person, it's my reputation, and when things are done, your benefits will be indispensable."

Tulu Huchaer thought about it again, and after a while, he finally made a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I believe in you brother, this time I will put another treasure on you."

Zhen Wu was taken aback.

Aren't these bastards stupid? They got gold and silver and sold them for a good deal, and I'm afraid they will be the ones who will run away the soonest when they see Zhu Di's power is gone.

What the hell is that mercenaries never suffer.

But there's no way, it's okay to promise promises at this moment.

Isn't a bad check given casually?
Afterwards, Zhen Wu chatted with Tuolu Huchaer for a while, because the time was urgent, after a simple finalization, Tuolu chose soldiers and led him and Zhenwu to Taining Guard.

In the next few days, Zhen Wu circulated among Duoyan and other tribes. With the help of Tuolu Huchaer, he persuaded each tribe one by one, and finally got together [-] cavalry, and then went southward towards Daning.

But at this time, Zhu Di's movements were not slow, and he had already led an army into the mouth of Liu's house, broke through the city continuously, and arrived at the Daning city all the way.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the capital of Daning, Zhu Jian, was loyal to the court, led the remaining soldiers in Daning, and closed the city gates to guard against Zhu Di.

Even though Zhu Di said that he came to see Zhu Quan, he did not allow Zhu Di to lead troops into the city, but tried to wait for the Songtingguan reinforcements to arrive, and worked together to keep Zhu Di in Daning.

After Zhu Di realized Zhu Jian's intention, he cursed angrily.

For a moment, the atmosphere under Daning City became sharp like the tip of a needle.

……
