[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

It was already dark, and the army finally found the predetermined place to station."I can't see my five fingers in my hands" probably refers to the current situation.The weather was so cold that the soldiers slept in groups back to back in the dark.The patrolling people lit a few torches and carefully groped around to check.

The soldiers were all asleep, but Xu Jin and the generals couldn't sleep yet.

"General, this place is only one day away from Hami. We are sure to surprise Hami in the morning after tomorrow." The man who spoke was a seven-foot-tall man with a stern face.He is He Lidong of Qianhu, who was born in a military household, and was promoted to the position of Qianhu by virtue of his military exploits.

Another thousand households, Huang Longbo, reported: "General, all the siege equipment is ready, just waiting for the siege."

"It's so good. The weather looks like it's going to snow tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow. We can take advantage of the snow to march and besiege the city." Xu Jin is very confident about this surprise attack on Hami, and the plan is foolproof. It depends on the result, "Mr. He, Mongolia Are there any changes in the departments?"

"No, the Mongolian tribes in Gansu have already negotiated, and they haven't made any changes for the time being. The Tatars are still in Hetao and there is no news. They don't know our plan, so it shouldn't be a bad thing."

"That's good, everyone go back to rest early, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow night." Xu Jin has already made up his mind, "Everyone, please be careful, the success or failure of this time depends on the three words, fast, steady It's ruthless. It's the end of November now, let's have a good year after winning the battle, and it's no problem for everyone to be promoted to the ranks."

All the generals bid farewell with fists in their hands and left to pay their bills.

It was already late at night, and there was only a little fire in the camp. Everyone fell asleep in the sharp north wind. Xu Jin was still studying the strategy for tomorrow's siege battle with the map.

In the Hongzhi period when the generals were not well-known, Xu Jin was also considered a famous general.Xu Jin, courtesy name Chaoyi, was born in Lingbao, Gansu Province, and was a Jinshi in the first year of Chenghua.Although he was born as a civil servant, he has been battle-tested.During the Chenghua period, he participated in the pacification of the Datangxia rebellion and the Jingxiang refugee uprising, and later served as a staff officer with the army, and participated in several Ming Dynasty conquests against the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area during the Chenghua period.

Although it is said that Xu Jin did not win many battles, after all, he has personally experienced several large-scale wars and knows what the wars are all about.In this regard, he was more than a little bit better than those scholars in the imperial court who only knew how to talk.It is also for this reason that he is now the governor of Gansu, an important border area, and also the right deputy capital censor.

Xu Jin is mediocre in strategy, but he is good in tactics. He has always been best at quick surprise attacks.When the Datang Gorge rebelled, it was he who led the troops to copy in from the rear of the rebels and disrupted the rebels with a surprise attack; when the Jingxiang refugees revolted, at the critical moment of the stalemate in the war, it was he who led the cavalry to raid again and ended the war. The old den of the rebel army made the Ming army settle the world with one blow.

During the Chenghua period, he was transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu region, and fought against the Mongolian cavalry several times. Although he did not win a lot of battles, he did rarely suffer losses.

His accomplishments in cavalry warfare, such as Wang Yue, Zhao Fu, Chen Shou, Xiang Zhong and other famous generals, are full of praise for him.Now that the imperial court wants to make a quick decision, the first thing that comes to mind is him.Only he can solve Hami's mess.

The northern Tatars are eyeing the Hetao, and no one wants to get entangled with the tribes of Turpan.When the Ministry of War issued an order, the first requirement was to finish the fight as soon as possible.Xu Jin's plan was also to take advantage of the cold weather, and take Hami in one day at least, or three days at most.

He also did not bring extra supplies for the quick march.Once the time is prolonged, food and grass to keep warm will be a problem, and he still wants to bring his subordinates to have a good year.

The next day, it was still daylight.The Huotou army woke up all the soldiers in the battalion, and each person had two white flour pancakes, a piece of beef sauce the size of a fist, pancakes full of miscellaneous grains, and dried vegetable soup.This is the last good meal before the decisive battle. After eating this meal, you have to dare to walk for a day, and you have to complete the siege of Hami in the evening, and you have to attack the city in the middle of the night.

The army was about to advance, and Xu Jin called the crowd to speak: "Now Hami is less than fifty miles away from us. There used to be our relatives, friends, and your cattle and horses there. But now there are only rebels there." .Your property was taken from you, your relatives were enslaved, your friends were killed. Do you hate it?"

The soldiers were excited and replied: "Hate!"

"Since you hate it, then kill it. Now the emperor is sympathetic to us, and we have noodles, meat, and hot soup. But our supplies are limited. If we can't beat Hami, we will starve. It's the New Year, and we won the battle. Only then can we drink heavily and eat meat, everyone agree?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard noodles and meat.Although there is beef white noodles in hand, but this amount of meat and noodles is enough for anyone to eat.I heard that Hami's family has horses and sheep, so it's not good to win a battle?So everyone shouted with all their might: "Yes."

At this time, the army did not have the habit of treating the captives well and the people in the occupied areas well.What everyone wanted was to break through Nahami and rob it. The military achievements will be divided among the top, and the money naturally cannot be lost to the bottom.

Xu Jin saw that the morale was up, so he ordered the march to the world.

Time is urgent, so at noon everyone just drank some dry food with cold water.Moving forward in the vast desert, there is no green to be seen, and the weather is cold, so everyone is holding on.In the evening, about ten miles away from Hami, Xu Jin ordered to rest on the spot for half an hour, and then marched to Hami when it was completely dark, in order to catch Hami by surprise.

After a while, fine snow fell from the sky, and Xu Jin shouted: "God help me!" He hurriedly ordered a quick march to Hami, and attacked Hami under the cover of heavy snow.

All the heads of hundreds of households urged the soldiers behind, "I don't want to sleep in the snow on a snowy day, but hurry up if I want to warm my bed."

After a while, the snow really fell and became bigger and bigger, as straight as a goose feather.

There was no plan to attack Hami late at night. In the heavy snowfall, Xu Jin led his army to take Hami lightly in one day without Hami being unprepared, and the Turpan army was defeated and retreated.

The snow came very late this year, and the first snow fell in Beijing on the third day of December.The victorious military report was sent to the cabinet on the afternoon of the third day, and the cabinet was submitted to the supervisor of ceremonies.

Jiang Cong is a sensible person, otherwise he would not have won the trust of Zhu Youtang in the deep palace, and the favor of the officials in the court.And his cleverness is reflected in that he never does what he shouldn't do. This is a lesson learned by Li Guangwei, who knows to make Zhu Youtang happy when the time is right, for example, he is good at moving Zhu Houzhao as a rescuer.

Now he knew it was time for him to do something.Mrs. Zhang is pregnant again. Zhu Youtang basically guards Mrs. Zhang in the harem during this time. He doesn't know about this military newspaper yet.Now there are three blessings, one Zhang is pregnant, the royal heirs are prosperous, the second is snowing, and the next year will be a bumper harvest, and the third is winning a battle at the end of this year. The eight years of Hongzhi ended smoothly.This can be reported to be auspicious, and this auspiciousness is not just this auspicious snow.

From Qianqing Palace, Ciqing Palace, to Kunning Palace, all the lanterns that were not lit in the past were lit all the way to announce the good news to the emperor.

Jiang Cong personally brought the supervisor of ceremonies and the famous eunuchs in the palace to Kunning Palace to announce the good news to Zhu Youtang.The eunuchs on duty along the road shouted one by one: "Auspiciousness descended from heaven, the Holy One is overjoyed."

When they arrived at the Kunning Palace, Jiang Cong led the eunuchs to kneel outside the hall, and announced the good news loudly: "Auspiciousness descended from the sky, the Holy One is very happy. The good news from the previous dynasty, Hami has won a great victory."

Zhu Youtang came out wearing a big cloak, helped Jiang Cong up with his own hands, and said, "Old Jiang, don't mobilize people like this next time." The curved eyebrows and raised lips clearly spoke the subtext: this time I am very satisfied, and I will reward you heavily when I go back.

Even Zhu Houzhao was alarmed by the movement here, and he also sat in a soft sedan to watch the excitement.After watching such a scene, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered the TV series that he had watched a few episodes by accident. As expected, there are three or four scenes of the good conscience drama.

Now that they are all here, Zhu Houzhao is not stingy with auspicious words: "Long live the father, I wish the father has today every year, and this day every year."

Seeing that what he said didn't sound like it, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "It's not your father's birthday, why are you saying this congratulatory speech. If children don't know how to say it, don't say it."

Of course Zhu Houzhao knew that what he said was inappropriate, but he couldn't think of a good word for a while, and now seeing Zhang refuting himself, he hurriedly argued coquettishly: "I was just anxious to announce the good news to my father, why should my mother say that about him?"

As Zhu Houzhao got older, he became more and more impatient with pretending to be that young child, and he hadn't acted like a spoiled child to his parents for many days.Zhu Youtang was happy to see his most beloved eldest son in such a childlike manner, and refuted Zhang's words for Zhu Youtang: "What he said is actually not wrong, it is just that every year will be smooth and successful. Zhao'er , you are not wrong, Daddy supports you."

Mrs. Zhang was happy to see Zhu Youtang, and she didn't want to be disappointed, so she quickly admitted her mistake: "It's my palace that made a mistake, and my concubine also wished the emperor a good harvest every year, and the emperor's prestige spread everywhere."

Jiang Cong and others knelt down again, got up and sang in harmony: "I wish the emperor, every year, a good harvest of snow, and the imperial prestige of the celestial dynasty spreads everywhere.

Zhu Youtang went to help Jiang Cong himself up again, and said in his mouth: "Every year is a good harvest, and every year is safe."

Hundreds of people tossed and tossed until it was time to pass on dinner before giving up.Mrs. Zhang ordered the dinner to be served later today, and everyone had to add more food, so everyone dispersed.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao was going to pass the meal at Ciqing Palace today, but now that he is here, he will eat here.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Houwei took small steps and threw himself into Zhu Houzhao's arms.Zhang Shi is pregnant, Zhu Houwei has no right to act like a baby in her arms.Zhu Youtang was busy, so he didn't care much about him.Even Zhu Houzhao also slighted him because he was going to study abroad in the spring of the coming year, and because he won Liu Dong again.Today's Zhu Houwei is a pitiful little boy who doesn't care about his father, doesn't love his mother, and doesn't care about his brother.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew that he was neglecting Zhu Houwei, so he quickly picked him up and kissed him.

Tomorrow, a friend will ask out to play, and it may be later.
