In the Forbidden City, in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Youjian looked at the letter in his hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Wang Chengen was very happy. This was the first time in three months that his Majesty smiled.
"Okay, great, these old Shanxi rich are finally willing to pay!" Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing.
Wang Chengen couldn't help but frowned, "Hey, Your Majesty, why did these old Shanxi rich men agree so quickly?"
"According to the emperor's sister-in-law, this matter is thanks to the peace talks made by Zhang Bei's defense. Hey, if our Ming Dynasty had a few more solid ministers like Tie Mo, the state affairs would not be so difficult." After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youjian put down the letter.
, "I will inform the cabinet soon to see how the affairs in Tucheng and the three areas are handled. As for Tie Mo, first draft a decree to promote him as a guerrilla general."
Wang Chengen did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to deliver the message.
There was no pushback from all parties within the organization this time, and a charter was quickly negotiated.
The reason why it went so smoothly is probably because the six ministries of the cabinet are all experienced veterans. The places in Tucheng are in the hands of the Mongols just like Zhangbei. Why bother His Majesty for these places?
In short, it has nothing to do with my own interests and I am too lazy to waste energy.
The next day, the imperial court discussed matters and Wang Chengen read out the cabinet resolution. In view of the current situation, the imperial court established a new Yunfu in northern Shanxi. The Yunfu was under the jurisdiction of Zhangbei, Xinghe, Chongli and Tucheng. At the same time, Yunfu was returned to Xuanfu.
Jurisdiction. In addition, Tiemo was promoted to guerrilla general and Yunfu garrison.
The court officials did not pay too much attention to the affairs of the Yun Mansion. In the final analysis, the so-called Yun Mansion only sounded good and gave the court a bit of glory. But in fact, the Yun Mansion could be abolished at any time, as long as the Mongols stopped one day.
Fortunately, Yun Mansion no longer exists.
But it’s time to get to know Tie Mo better.
On this day, Tie Mo's name finally aroused some resonance in the court, making the officials a little curious.
.....
After Zhang Bei and Zhang Yan received the money, they couldn't wait to have people load the car and send them back to the capital. In order to ensure safety, they also asked Hou Shilu to dispatch a team of Xuanfu elite soldiers to escort him.
As soon as the silver carriage left, the imperial decree arrived at Zhang Bei.
Tie Mo also changed from President Qian to a guerrilla general, and his position changed from Zhangbei Guard to Yunfu Guard.
As the iron ink rose, so did the people who followed him. Zhou Dingshan, Sha Diao and others have become the bosses with real power, and even Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing and others have become deputy qianhu.
Liu Guoneng had never dreamed before that he would one day become the Deputy Qianhu of the entire Eight Classics. This official position was already a person with one hand covering the sky in Shaanxi.
Although his men were not elite soldiers and were mostly new recruits, Liu Guoneng was already very satisfied.
It is not easy to still be an officer and soldier after taking off the skin of a thief, and even become a deputy 1,000 households. As long as you work hard enough, you will one day become an elite general.
...
The convoy left Zhangbei, and Tie Mo took the merchants from northern Shanxi several miles away. When leaving, Tie Mo gave Zhang Yan a brocade box.
It is said that there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. Sometimes a few words from Empress Zhang to Your Majesty can be better than thousands of troops.
After some distance from Zhang Bei, Zhang Yan in the carriage opened the small brocade box.
The moment I opened the box, I just took one look at it and couldn't take my eyes away again. A pearl necklace shone with a faint luster.
This kind of jade is completely transparent, like colorless glass, except for the largest gemstone in the middle, which is like a blue eye.
In the palace, I have seen countless kinds of gold and silver jewelry. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful jade necklace. I just took one look and fell in love with it.
This Tie Mo was really thoughtful and actually gave such an expensive gift. However, how could a man give jewelry to a woman casually?
Zhang Yan liked this gem necklace very much, but out of concern, she wanted to return it. However, the convoy had already traveled a few miles, so after thinking about it, she could only put aside this idea temporarily. In fact, she was still reluctant to return it.
.
Since Zhang Yan stayed in Zhangbei for two more days, she did not accompany the team escorting the silver car.
Now the entire convoy only has more than twenty guards.
When he came, Tie Mo wanted to send more manpower, but Zhang Yan refused. Zhang Bei is very close to Xuanfu. Once you pass Xuanfu and enter the hinterland of Shuntian Mansion, you will be safe and worry-free.
This year Tie Mo almost held the Sunit and Naiman tribes in his hands. At least near Zhangjiakou, the Mongols were no longer seen digging grass valleys. Thinking that nothing would happen, he did not insist on sending guards to Zhang Yan.
.
But sometimes, accidents happen.
When the convoy arrived at Tianyang Slope, twenty miles south of Zhangbei, someone discovered that there was an additional horse team to the north. The people on the horse were all dressed as Mongolians, and each of them was holding a weapon and looked menacing.
Tianyangpo is sandwiched between Zhangjiakou and Zhangbei, and to the southwest is Yehuling. Encountering a Mongolian cavalry here was quite a dilemma.
In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the convoy. Due to the sudden incident, the cavalry was unprepared and was rushed to pieces. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of the imperial guards were injured or killed.
The Mongols attacked the carriage, hacked the driver to death, and then ran north with the carriage.
The remaining guards wanted to snatch the carriage back, but they were powerless. Looking at the few remaining people around him, the leader Nie Xiang of the Hundred Households grabbed a person and said loudly: "Yao Kai, go back to Zhangbei quickly and tell what happened here.
Tell General Tie, the others and I will catch up."
If you catch up, you will probably be killed by the Mongols. But you have to follow. If you lose Queen Yi'an and don't rescue her, they will die.
...
A sudden change occurred, and Zhang Yan saw with her own eyes the guards in brocade robes who followed them fell down one by one. This was the first time she saw how cruel the real battlefield was. For a moment, she forgot everything, her head was buzzing, and she felt a little stupid.
Dropped.
When he came back to his senses, he had become someone else's prisoner.
She was very scared, she didn't know what she would encounter next, and even thought of dying to save her reputation and save the face of the court.
The dignified Queen Yian fell into the hands of the Mongols. The Yingzong incident had already happened before, and the Ming Dynasty could no longer suffer such humiliation for the second time.
.....
Zhang Bei, Tie Mo was stunned when he got the news that Queen Yi'an had been robbed.
If something goes wrong with Zhang Yan, and Zhu Youjian is furious, the first people to be unlucky will be him, Tie Mo and Hei Yunlong. Who knew this was the jurisdiction of Zhangjiakou and Zhangbei?
At this time, Tie Mo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, gloomy and terrifying.
After calling everyone under his command, he shouted sternly: "Check me out quickly. I want to know who dares to disturb me. Dingshan, lead your people to chase north. If you catch up with those people, don't force them."
It’s too tight, your safety is the most important thing.”
"Aqige, return to Mosna quickly and order Orge and Tuobuhua to guard the north for me. Even a camel cannot leave the Hanhai Grassland from the north without my permission."
Everyone knew that the matter was serious, so they all took orders and went about their business.
Zhang Bei's soldiers and horses moved upon hearing the wind, and the Mongolian army in Mosna Yazhang also divided into several groups, fortified themselves along the way, and launched a blanket search in the north.
Under such strict investigation, some clues were quickly discovered.
