The imperial court's use of troops against Mongolia was actually a continuation of the Ping-Yan War. Although King Yan's rebellion was put down, there was still a force that supported King Yan that had not been eliminated, which was the Duoyan Three Guards.
The Duoyan Three Guards have to be talked about in the 20th year of Hongwu. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and other generals to lead an army of 200,000 to detour to Qingzhou, surrounded and forced the landing of Nahachu, and made Daxing'an dominate the Mongolian tribes to the east.
In an isolated and helpless situation.
The following year, the Ming general Lan Yu defeated the Mongolian Khan Togusi Timur at the Fishing Sea. The tribes in eastern Mongolia asked for surrender and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. The next year, Zhu Yuanzhang established a military base in this area.
The three guards of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu were appointed, and the leaders of the three guards were given official positions at various levels to win over and control them. They were allowed to lead their own tribes, provide livestock and livestock, and become barbarians of the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, the Three Duoyan Guards were under the jurisdiction of King Ning who was guarding Daning. Last year, King Yan raised his troops to rebel against the imperial court. After raising his troops, he led his troops north. With the support of the Three Duoyan Guards, he defeated King Ning Zhu Quan who was guarding Daning and coerced the Daning army into rebellion.
He also borrowed three thousand elite cavalry from the Duoyan Guards to serve as the main force of the "Jingnan Army".
Of course, the Duoyan Sanwei were not philanthropists. They received a promise from Zhu Di: as long as they broke away from King Ning and established themselves as a vassal, they would be given cattle, farm tools, seeds and other items for farming every year, and set up a mutual market in Guangning. This eliminated the need to seize power southward.
After having no worries about his future, Zhu Di gave up Daning and made Duoyan Sanwei a semi-independent vassal.
There was no need to worry about the enemy coming from the north, and he could concentrate on the rebellion. Zhu Di was relaxed, but the court was in trouble. Later, Zhu Di died and was defeated. Although the court army took advantage of the victory to regain Beiping, Daning and other places, the three Duoyan guards refused to surrender and fought from time to time.
The imperial court was also annoyed by the invasion of the country by troops, so it decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition to solve the problem at once.
If you don't accept it, fight. The imperial court is indeed domineering. However, the imperial court also has reasons for being domineering, because the imperial army has just defeated the Yan army. You must know that the Yan army is the strongest frontier army in the Ming Dynasty and has won many Northern Expeditions to Mongolia. After a simple comparison
, everyone in the imperial court could reach a consensus: the imperial army was stronger than the Yan army, and if the imperial army could defeat the Yan army, it would naturally also be able to defeat the Mongols.
However, this consensus has a flaw, a fatal flaw!
As a young Yi Cheng, Wan Lei naturally does not know the political trends of the court. He is now in a hurry to start production. Because the products will soon enter the court, and the golden avenue of making a fortune is right in front of him, which makes him full of excitement.
gained strength.
"Master, it's time to eat." Wei'er's sweet voice came from outside the laboratory.
"How many times have I told you, don't call me "Master", am I that old?" Wan Lei came out of the laboratory with a look of fake anger.
"If you don't call me Ye, what's your name?" Wei'er blinked and asked pretending to be scared.
"You can call me whatever you want, but you can't call me Ye."
"Then call me uncle." When Wei'er said this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Go, get lost, sir, and call me boss from now on." Wan Lei was really angry now. He had never imagined that this girl had only been here a few days and she was as old as Zhao Xueer.
"Don't you look old, boss? In my opinion, you should be called sir." Wei'er is really not afraid of Wan Lei's anger, because she has already figured out the new master's temper. In Zhao Xue'er's words: This guy has a disgusting face.
Bullying the strong and fearing the weak, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Sir?" Wan Lei was embarrassed for a while. A loser like him who didn't even memorize the Three Character Classics could at most understand vernacular texts such as Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms. He could even read high-level theoretical books like the Four Books and Five Classics.
I don’t understand. With such a level of waste, how can you still be a gentleman? I’m afraid of being laughed at if I tell you.
It is precisely because of his self-awareness that Wan Lei knows that he is not the material to take the imperial examination, so he should be down-to-earth as his own little Yi Cheng, engage in chemical manufacturing when he has nothing to do, and make money and live a comfortable life.
Of course, when you have money in the future, you can also promote the research of Mr. De and Mr. Sai.
It is said in "Zuo Zhuan" that the most important thing for the Supreme Being is to establish virtue, followed by meritorious services, and then by establishing words, which will not be abandoned for a long time. As a new good young man in the 21st century, Wan Lei also hopes that he will shine in the annals of history, but now it seems
, it is impossible to become an official, the dream of becoming a general or a prime minister is out of reach, and there is no hope of making immortal achievements. Now we can only establish our morality and speak up.
As for whether Mr. Gode and Mr. Sai can successfully establish their moral character, Wan Lei still has no idea.
"Master, it's time to eat." Seeing Wan Lei standing there thoughtfully, Wei'er stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Oh." Wan Lei came back from his meditation, but secretly thought in his heart: "Whether it is to establish virtues, meritorious service or reputation, you must first establish your own pocket. If there is no money in the pocket, your waist will not be straight, and any words you say are in vain.
.
It was a rare day for me to go shopping today. On the table were seven large plates of delicious meat dishes, chicken, duck, and fish, all kinds of steamed and stir-fried. It seemed that Wei'er had put a lot of thought into it. Just by looking at it, Wan Lei couldn't help but take a twitch.
The nose is so rich, this is the first time for Lai Ming.
"You haven't eaten yet, let's come together." It's not Wan Lei's habit to eat alone. Besides, he can't finish the food on this big table by himself.
"No, no, young master, you eat first, and I'll serve you rice and wine." Although Wei'er has become more courageous, he still doesn't dare to be too polite. You know, in the Ming Dynasty, men and women were generally not allowed to eat at the same table.
, especially masters and servants, they cannot share the same table.
"You can eat what you are told. From now on, you should eat it while it's hot. Don't eat it cold. It's not good for your health." Wan Lei didn't have so many rules. He sat Wei'er down at the table and helped.
She filled a bowl of rice, which made her a little confused.
"Come on, eat more meat." Wan Lei picked up a big chicken leg and handed it directly to Wei'er's bowl, saying: "Don't be stunned, eat whatever you want, don't be restrained, just like eating at home."
"Oh." Wei'er responded mechanically and finally picked up the bowl. However, she just silently picked up the rice and still didn't dare to pick up the vegetables to eat. Wan Lei was a little overwhelmed and was about to persuade her not to be cautious, but
I saw a figure rushing into the restaurant at a sprint speed of 100 meters, and snatched a chicken leg with lightning speed.
"Brother Wan, why didn't you call me even after eating?" This uninvited guest was the person Wan Lei didn't want to see the most - Zhao Xueer, she protested dissatisfiedly while destroying the chicken legs in her hands.
Suddenly such a foodie came, and Wan Lei said angrily: "Go wash your hands first and get your own dishes and chopsticks."
When it comes to freeloading, Zhao Xueer has the same temperament as her master, the sloppy Taoist priest. In short, she has never been polite to Wan Lei. She eats what she needs to eat and eats whatever she wants. She seems to regard the inn as her own home. No, she
He filled a bowl with rice and then sat down next to Wan Lei carelessly. Wei'er was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"Sister Wei'er, eat, you're welcome, just like home." Zhao Xueer said carelessly. People who didn't know the inside story would think she was Wan Lei's biological sister.
"Eat more meat, I still need your help." Wan Lei picked up another pile of meat and put it into Wei'er's bowl, then put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm going to launch a product for the palace.
, the quality of this product is better, so I need your help to try it out."
"That's no problem. I've been exposed to the wind for a few days, and my face is dry and cracked. I should have gotten some facial cream to apply it long ago." Zhao Xueer said.
"Your skin is thicker than the city wall. No matter how much cream you apply, it's useless." Wan Lei rolled his eyes at Zhao Xueer and said: "The concubines in the palace are all well-dressed and well-fed. As probationers, you should also eat more."
Meat, add more protein, and you won’t have acne on your face during the trial, so I dare to give the product to them.”
Wan Lei's worry is not unreasonable. The capital is in Nanjing, located in the south, and the climate is humid. The concubines eat well and drink well but do not exercise, so they are most likely to get acne. What if the products he launches are still too greasy?
The concubines got acne as soon as they used it, which was a serious problem, so they had to strictly control the quality. But now there is no equipment for chemical composition analysis, so we can only use human faces as human skin analyzers.
"Oh." After hearing this explanation, Wei'er responded and silently lowered his head to gnaw the meat.
