The young imperial envoy's memorial was to impeach Shen Yong, the commander of the Liaodong capital. The Tatars attacked 30,000 guards, and 30,000 guards of thousands of households were resisted by Peishit Mu'er, who led his army to resist and killed the enemy bravely. He suffered several arrow wounds on his body. He retreated to the city and sent troops to the Liaodong capital to rescue Shen Yong. Shen Yong was afraid of the enemy and did not dare to send troops. He allowed the Tatars to loot, sell, sell and kill them. After the Tatars retreated, he wanted to hide and not report back.
But after all, Shen Yong could not cover the sky with one hand in Liaodong. The young imperial envoy was coerced and induced by Shen Yong. On the surface, he agreed to conceal the matter with him and accepted his gifts. However, secretly he sent a crony to explain the incident in detail. Please send a message, attach Shen Wangyong's gift list, and report to the capital secretly.
Zhu Di was furious after seeing the secret report. There were many soldiers and horses in Liaodong. He brought King Ning and his 80,000 elite soldiers from Daning City into the pass. It was the second year of Jingnan. After that, in Liaodong and Daning Officials were set up in all areas, and the troops and horses were gradually replenished. At this time, there were no fewer troops than in the time of Taizu. With such a strong force, if Shen Yong was not afraid of the enemy, even if he pretended to fight, he would not be able to fight. It will cause so much damage.
Zhu Di couldn't bear this, but after all, Liaodong was a place far away from the emperor, and when the young imperial envoy secretly reported that the Tatars had withdrawn, no one knew what the situation was like now, so Zhu Di was eager to send people to Liaodong to find out more situation, and take charge of the overall situation.
Xia Xun was on a military parade in Dezhou at this time. In Zhu Di's view, his qualifications and abilities were enough to shoulder this important task. Moreover, there were 100,000 elite soldiers in Dezhou, and some of them could be transferred to accompany Xia Xun out of the border. He rushed to Liaodong as quickly as possible to reward and punish the soldiers, appease the army and the people, and fight back the Tatar invasion, so he immediately issued a secret order and had it delivered to Xia Xun at a speed of eight hundred miles.
The secret decree authorized Xia Xun to mobilize 50,000 troops from the troops under review, and immediately go north with him. He was appointed governor of Liaodong and went to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation. After arriving in Liaodong, the secret decree was changed to an explicit decree:
Shen Yong was greedy for life and afraid of death, timid of the enemy and afraid of war. He deceived the emperor, imposed military laws, and executed people. Temuer was a member of the Ming Dynasty of the Jurchen tribe. In the 14th year of Hongwu, he led his tribe to submit to the Ming Dynasty and was granted hundreds of households. After that, he experienced many wars and was tired. After being promoted to the rank of Thousand Households, he fought bravely to kill the enemy and ensured that the 30,000 guards were not lost. He was promoted to the 30,000 guards to command the general affairs. At the same time, he issued an edict to those who did not hear the sound of thieves and bandits along the border guard posts. , below the town guard, the position is no matter how big or small, and the crime is the same forever.
Xia Xun held this imperial edict and fell into deep thought. It seemed that his dream of returning home to accompany his wife and daughter was going to be ruined for the time being. Xia Xun had no complaints about this. He had gone from being a commoner to being prosperous and wealthy now. , the power is overwhelming, and since you enjoy all this, you should do something for the world and the people, otherwise you are just like a silverfish.
At present, there are only two people north of the Yellow River who can arrive in Liaodong in time to clean up the mess, and who are qualified to clean up the mess in Liaodong due to their powerful position. One is Qiu Fu, who is sitting in Beijing, and the other is him. Qiu Fu was better than Qiu Fu in terms of understanding and tactics of Tatars, but when he went to Liaodong, he obviously had the responsibility to appease the local area. When it came to government affairs, he was better than Qiu Fu, so choosing him was the best result.
Of course, it does not rule out that the emperor has other plans in mind. Judging from various previous signs, the emperor has obviously made a decision about establishing a prince. If Qiu Fu is re-employed at this time, it will inevitably give the officials a false impression. : The emperor still wants to establish his second son, Zhu Gaoxu, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China will inevitably become more intense. If the emperor has this consideration, then he will have to rush out of the country.
But what is the situation in Liaodong now? If it is just to clean up the mess, there is no need for officials of his level, and the situation may not be good.
The so-called "know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles". Frankly speaking, in terms of military affairs, I am only half-measured. The success of the previous campaign against Japanese invaders was mainly due to my innate advantages in the strategy of suppressing Japanese invaders that no one else could match. However, there are several specific tactics.
A very capable general was in charge. The situation in Liaodong was very different from that of the coastal Japanese suppression. Faced with the ever-changing military situation in Liaodong, there was no mature strategy that could be directly used for reference, so copying and copying became Zhao Kuo's strategy on paper.
The military-civilian relations and ethnic relations in Liaodong must also be complicated. Take what is mentioned in the impeachment memorial of the Liaodong imperial envoy. The 30,000 guard generals who desperately defended the enemy were Jurchens, and Shen Yong, who was in charge of the entire Liaodong military, was Han.
Shen Yong's refusal to save people may not be entirely due to greed for life and fear of death. There may also be some ethnic disputes involved.
Even if it hadn't happened before, this time he left the Jurchens in the front to defend the country through life and death, while he sat firmly in the rear and did nothing to save him, which was bound to cause some internal conflicts. Although the two ethnic groups are both people of the Ming Dynasty, they are different ethnic groups.
, if it is not handled well in normal times, there will be many conflicts, not to mention the current situation, which is also the most difficult thing to handle...
Just as Xia Xun was thinking about it, another guard walked in at the door and reported: "I am reporting to the Duke that Ulan Bari, the envoy of Timur State, is asking for an audience."
"Oh? What is he doing here?"
"He said... he had a confidential request and asked to see him."
Xia Xun pondered for a moment, put away the secret letter on the table, and ordered: "Invite him in!"
The guards at the gate of the courtyard searched Ulan Bage and took out a short blade from Ulan Bage's arms. Ulan Bage protested: "In our kingdom, even if you meet the Khan, you can carry a sword on your body.
, I have never lifted the rule of wearing a knife. This knife is my pocket knife, used for cutting meat and eating!"
The guard said coldly: "Rules? This is the Ming Dynasty, and these are the rules of the Ming Dynasty. When you come out, I will pay you back. Why don't you delay cutting meat for dinner?"
Several guards nearby laughed, and Ulan Bari was very angry. His dagger was poisoned, and it sealed his throat when he saw blood. The poison was not common in the East. Even if there was a famous doctor nearby, he could not prescribe the right medicine. As long as he let
He scratched a trace of Xia Xun's skin, and Xia Xun had no chance of surviving. However, he didn't expect that Xia Xun would cherish his life so much, and the guards would be so tight that even he, a foreign envoy, would have to search him.
Ulan Bari then thought about it: "That Yang Xu looks much weaker than me. I can kill him with my bare hands even if I attack him suddenly. I, Ulan Bari, am a master in cornering, and I can't deal with him, a pampered prince."
Master?"
Thinking of this, Ulan Bage stopped insisting and strode into the hospital.
When they arrived at the main hall of Xia Xun's residence, they saw Xia Xun standing in the hall. There were four guards standing on the left and right sides of the hall. Their eyes were shining, and they were obviously very skilled.
When Xia Xun saw him, he smiled and said, "Messenger from Ulan Bage, I heard that you have something confidential to tell me?"
"yes!"
Ulan Bage glanced around and said: "Please step aside, the Duke. This matter is extremely confidential and should not be known to others."
"oh?"
Xia Xun frowned slightly and looked at Ulan Bari with some surprise. Ulan Bari lowered his voice and said: "Our envoy came east this time, and there was a huge secret. Ulan Bari felt the majesty of the Celestial Empire and did not want to
I am an enemy of the Celestial Empire, so I want to abandon the dark side and join the bright side. What I will talk about next is a huge secret, and I would like to ask the Duke to stay away."
Xia Xun raised his hand and waved, commanding: "Get down!"
The eight sword-carrying guards bowed to Xia Xun and retreated solemnly.
Xia Xun said: "Okay, Messenger of Ulanbari, you can speak now."
"Yes, after the villain said these words, there will be no chance to look back. From now on, I can only take refuge in the adults. The adults agree first, and then the villain dares to say it!"
Ulan Bari said, already prostrating himself in front of Xia Xun.
Xia Xun said hurriedly: "Hey, get up and speak. If what you say is really useful, my father-in-law will arrange a future for you."
Xia Xun said, then stepped forward to give him a hand and said: "Get up, get up and talk!"
Seeing Xia Xun approaching, Ulan Bage, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped forward and moved his two big hands toward Xia Xun's legs like lightning.
Different from the martial arts of the Han people, the Tatmadaw wrestling first learns the supporting links of the human body. The nodes of the lower limbs are at the knees, the middle nodes are at the thighs, and the upper nodes are at the shoulders. These are places where people can easily lose their balance.
The legs are two roots and are also the largest node. Once the roots are dug out, they will fall down like a tree.
Xia Xun really didn't expect that an envoy from the Timurid Kingdom who came to inform him would attack him rashly on his territory. It was his first time to come into contact with this special style of fighting. Ulan Bari pounced forward, but it took only a moment.
Suddenly, Xia Xun's legs were grabbed by Ulan Bari. Xia Xun reacted very quickly. He immediately squatted down, stabilized his center of gravity, and slammed his knees forward.
But Ulan Bari has been wrestling since he was a child. Every wrestler has understood this principle since he was a child: be careful of knee strikes when hugging his legs. How could he be hit by his knees and his face would be red?
Using the remaining momentum of his forward thrust, he tried to use a turning movement to knock Xia Xun down.
But Xia Xun had already squatted down, with his center of gravity down, and Ulan Bari was rushing forward. He didn't make the lifting movement, and the range of turning movement was not large, so the two of them became twisted together.
He fell heavily to the ground, and fell on his side.
Ulan Bari immediately used his legs to twist Xia Xun's legs, and jumped on Xia Xun, pressing his hips against his lower abdomen, holding Xia Xun's waist with one hand, and pressing down on his waist with one hand.
At the shoulder socket, these two vital points were restricted, and Xia Xun's entire body was unable to struggle.
"Why?"
Xia Xun tried, but his body was locked, so he no longer resisted, but looked directly at Ulan Bage and asked calmly.
Ulan Bari said with a ferocious smile: "Do you still remember Shire Bari from Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking?"
"Remember!"
Ulan Bari's eyes turned red and he said: "That's my biological brother!"
"I see!"
Xia Xun smiled faintly, shook his left shoulder suddenly, and the arm fell off the ring with a "click". Although the entire left arm could no longer use strength, it did not restrict the vital points of the muscles and veins. Xia Xun's whole body was soft and weak.
Xun's right hand reached out from the compressed chest and abdomen like a python, and the tiger's mouth, which was honed by long-term sword practice and was full of calluses, was stuck in Ulan Bari's throat.
This jam was not held tightly, but pushed and hit hard. This force was more than a hundred kilograms. How could the fragile throat withstand it? If Xia Xun hadn't deliberately reserved his strength, just this one blow, with his
The force can crush Ulan Bazhi's throat.
"Uh... uh..."
Ulan Bazhi's hands and feet loosened up as if he had been electrocuted. His body hunched into a ball, and he breathed desperately into his throat. Xia Xun had already stood up, holding his left arm with his right hand, swaying slightly, and pushed upward with force.
Push and connect the arm with a "click" sound.
Ulan Bage coughed so much that tears and runny nose came down, but the uncomfortable feeling still lingered. He saw Xia Xun dusting himself off, and heard him order a few guards who had just been called in: "
Take him down and make him vomit out everything he knows, but I still have a use for keeping him alive!"
