The emperor is embarrassed

The records of this war in Emperor Wudi's Benji are as follows:

In the first year of Emperor Wu, Tatar Khan Saza fought unannounced. Yang Yutong, deputy general of Datong, treacherously led the Tatars into Datong Pass, drove straight in, and approached the imperial capital.Emperor Wu ordered the whole city to be on guard, the people moved, and the walls were cleared.

At that time, Saza came to the imperial capital and barked rudely.

Emperor Wu went up to the Zhuque Tower calmly and gracefully, and asked with a smile if Hou Saza's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Tatar, was in good health.The demeanor of the emperor is here.

Later, Emperor Wu ordered an attack, and the battle to defend the imperial capital began.

I have to admire the brilliant pen of the historian of the Dafeng Dynasty. After many years, when the abdicated Emperor Wu saw this record, he smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his face, and said modestly to the posterity, "Oh, what happened in the past is just a matter of life." There is no need to mention it. You can’t learn the skill of ‘talking and laughing, and the Tatar is wiped out in smoke’.” Then there was a burst of weird and proud laughter.

Later generations slandered: Your Majesty, although you have won the battle to defend the imperial capital.But it's not something honorable to be beaten at the door of your house right after you take the throne, okay?

However, Emperor Wu, who was already immersed in complacent emotions, naturally couldn't know the slander of future generations. He had already set out to drive and prepare to brag to future generations about all the great and incredible deeds he had done during his reign.

In the evening, the later generations were annoyed by Emperor Wu, and he finally understood: this deceitful historian, the actual Emperor Wu and the legendary Emperor Wu are two different things, okay?

No matter how later history books excused Emperor Wu, they even described Emperor Wu in the battle to defend the imperial capital as a god descending from heaven.But in fact, no matter how hard it is to cover up, it is difficult to cover up the unstable internal affairs of Emperor Wu at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and the embarrassment of being forced into the imperial capital by Tatar soldiers.

However, at the same time, we have to say that only when the sea is flowing, can we show our heroic qualities!The heroic talent of Emperor Wu was also fully demonstrated in this defense battle.

Because, in the complicated situation at that time, if there was no Emperor Wu's strength, and someone else took control of the imperial capital, then the imperial capital might have a different ending.Even, the history of the Dafeng Dynasty will be rewritten accordingly.

After Ming Zhan asked Marquis about Saza's mother, Saza was furious and said to himself, you people in the imperial capital have always been very good at pretending to be B, and others are barbarians compared to you. I will say something to your little emperor based on the principle of courtesy first and soldiers later. Kind words.Unexpectedly, the little emperor didn't know how to praise, so he swears directly.

Saza let out a roar and was about to curse back, but just after he let out a roar, he shot an arrow from the top of Zhuque Tower.

This is the strong crossbow of the imperial capital city. Normally, two extremely powerful soldiers are needed to draw this bow, and one person is required to aim it professionally. The range can reach thousands of feet.

Saza has a high status, so it is naturally impossible to stand in front of the battle.If you can't find Saza, you will waste the bow if you shoot the little guy.Who would have thought that Saza would be so stupid that it would explode like a firecracker.Roaring, he exposed his position, and watched as the imperial capital city shot through the air, directly approaching Saza's chest!

Although Saza's mind and eyes are not comparable to that of Mingzhan, his kung fu is first-class.Seeing that the crisis was approaching, Saza's movements were extremely sensitive. He folded his entire upper body backwards, and the long arrow almost flew past Saza's face, nailing his brother Ku Feng behind Saza to the ground.

Ku Feng's miserable howl broke through the sky.

Ming Zhan waved his hand at this time and said in a deep voice, "Attack!"

Before the war, Ming Zhan had issued an order that the city gate would not be opened until the Tatars were driven back.

The meaning is very clear: If you are defeated by the Tatars, you will all die outside, and you don't have to come back.

This war is different from the Northwest. If the Imperial Capital Army is defeated, it will be followed by a loss of confidence. It is difficult to say whether it can hold the Imperial Capital City after one defeat after another.According to Ming Zhan's temperament and arrogance, he did not order soldiers and horses from all over the country to help the imperial capital, let alone move the capital to avoid the war.

Ming Zhan's attitude is very clear: stick to the imperial capital.

There is no war that is not cruel, corpses are everywhere, flesh and blood are flying everywhere, besides fighting, it is still fighting.

Human beings at this time are no different from birds and beasts, and their animal nature is undoubtedly revealed.

Ming Zhan also saw Saza's bravery. He was really unparalleled. He brandished a long saber and took the lead in charging into the imperial army. However, only a hundred meters away, more than [-] heads fell to the ground, and Saza was half-dyed. blood.All the Tatar soldiers seemed to be infected by the ferocity of the leader, and they slashed and killed frantically under the leadership of Saza.Kufeng's death gave the soldiers of the imperial capital the advantage that was immediately suppressed by the madness of the Tatars, leaving no room for it.

The general led by Suzaku Gate is Wu Shuang, who is second only to Marquis Yongning in the Nine Gates Army. Wu Shuang was once the confidant of Marquis Yongding.Marquis Yongding went to Huaiyang, and Marquis Yongning took over as the admiral of Jiumen. In order to appease the generals left behind by Marquis Yongding, he spoke in front of Ming Zhan and promoted Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuangnian stood upright in his prime of life.

Wu Shuang knew that the emperor was watching the battle from the Suzaku Tower. Seeing that the Tatars were so fierce and his morale was completely suppressed, he immediately yelled, "Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" .

Wu Shuang still has a few tricks, although his bravery is not as good as Saza's, but his martial arts are very good, and he stumbled Saza for a while.

The two sides had their first fierce confrontation.

Those led by Sazar are all the most elite Tatar troops.

Wu's subordinates are all elite soldiers.

Ming Zhan watched the life-and-death confrontation outside the city with cold eyes, and the smell of blood rushed to his face.Thinking about my conscientious governing career since I became the throne, but in exchange for such a shameful aggression, being beaten to the door of my house, I am really useless!

Ming Zhan suddenly felt a sense of generosity, sorrow and anger. He always did what he wanted, turned around abruptly, walked quickly to the side of the drum, and took off the double hammers.Then the fierce drums sounded on the battlefield!

In fact, Ming Zhan didn't know what he knocked, he felt that he was knocking indiscriminately, but others obviously didn't think so.

According to historical records: the battle was fierce, and Emperor Wu himself beat the drums and performed the "Emperor's Capital Song".When the generals heard the sound of the emperor's drum, their morale was excited, and they defeated the Tatars.

This is a bit exaggerated, and Ming Zhan naturally would not have imagined that his random typing would be recorded by someone with a heart, and written into a music score, which has been passed down for thousands of years.Therefore, the spectrum was written by Ming Zhan himself. As a generation of emperors who created a prosperous world, he enjoys a high reputation in history.Therefore, later generations also called this song "Emperor Song", which was loved by the emperors of all dynasties.

In legends, music was born along with war, such as the famous mythical figure—Prince Changqin.

Ming Zhan himself has a very high musical talent, and Ruan Hongfei admired his comprehension when he first learned the flute.At this time, Ming Zhan was completely immersed in his emotions, and he didn't even notice that there were broken snowflakes floating in the sky.

Li Pingzhou and others were completely shocked by Ming Zhan's behavior and didn't know how to react.

The drums are fierce and now there is thunder, and it seems that the morale is also inspired by the drums.At this time, Saza and Wu Shuang fought bitterly and were unable to win, and had already been sent back to the central army by the personal guards. Hearing the sound of the drum, Wu Shuang felt his blood boil, and shouted, "Long live my emperor! I swear to the death to defend the country! Those who retreat without permission will die!" "

As long as you risk your life, in fact, even if the physical fitness of the imperial capital army is somewhat different from that of the Tatars who have lived on horses all year round, the gap will not be too big.In the battle of the Imperial Army to defend the city to the death, the Tatars finally retreated for the first time.

Ming Zhan's drumming continued, Wu Shuang and the others fought bloody in front of Suzaku's gate, but they didn't know that it was Ming Zhan who was beating the drum.

Under certain conditions and in certain environments, human beings are always easily infected by certain emotions. Wu Shuang's chest seemed to be infected with some kind of impassioned meaning, and a heart of swearing allegiance to the death suddenly arose in his heart.

When the sound of the drum stopped, Wu Shuang raised his blood-stained spear, with blood and dust on his tired face, and took the lead in shouting, "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Immediately, the whole city was shouting long live.

Looking at the crushed snow that fell on the ground and turned red quickly, and the soldiers cheering for victory, Ming Zhan had a compassionate smile in his eyes.

Even the defeated Tatars who were going to set up camp heard the cheers of the imperial capital, and Yang Yutong's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

The war in the imperial capital has begun.

Where Ruan Hongfei was, it was also the shadow of swords and swords, and there were countless confrontations.

When Ruan Hongfei met this legendary young master, his appearance was not bad, but it was just not bad. Naturally, he was not on the same level as Ruan Hongfei, who was as handsome as Ruan Hongfei.In particular, Ruan Hongfei is open-minded, has been in a high position for a long time, and his demeanor is much better than this person.

The young master picked a seat and sat down, and said with a smile, "Although I have never met Lord Du Ruo, I have been friends with the Lord for a long time."

Ruan Hongfei shook his head and said sternly, "Don't say such a thing, people in the family are very jealous, and I have never been allowed to make friends with others."

Li Fang almost choked, and introduced the two of them, "Brother Du, this is the young master."

"Master? Is your surname male?"

The young master smiled slightly, "The name is just a code name, just like Du Guozhu, his surname is not Du, is it?"

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly." Ruan Hongfei is most familiar with this kind of pretending to be a wolf with a big tail. He himself is a master of this way. As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies.Big-tailed wolf Ruan suddenly saw another big-tailed wolf, pretending not to be as good as him, so naturally he looked down on him even more.

"The Tartar Khan Saza has brought [-] elite soldiers and King Usai's [-] elite soldiers to the imperial capital. Isn't the lord worried about the safety of the imperial capital?" The young master didn't buy Ruan Hongfei at all. Er was quite annoyed, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, he just held his breath in his heart and tried to test Ruan Hongfei with words.

Ruan Hongfei smiled coldly, and said bluntly, "Now in this room, I, Lao Li, Lao Chen, and you, regardless of our respective positions, are all from the Celestial Dynasty. Since we are from the Celestial Dynasty, our roots are in the Celestial Dynasty. Don't you think there is anything to be proud of in instigating the rebellion of the Datong army and leading the Tatars into the pass?"

"Everyone has reached this position, and your vision is not narrow anymore! Old Li and Chen, let's go ashore to snatch and kill, but we have snatched a few officials and killed a few wealthy gentry!" Ruan Hongfei said coldly, "The ones who robbed and killed are just ordinary people. That's it! This time it's the same, what do you think will happen if you bring the Tatars into the customs! The casualties are nothing more than common people! Who are the common people? Old Li and Chen, we come from ordinary backgrounds, neither wealthy nor eunuchs , our parents and relatives are common people! If our parents and relatives are killed by the Tatars, it is all their fault!"

"It's really ridiculous. It's lucky that you still have the face to show off your own people here!" Ruan Hongfei sneered, "I've never seen such an ignorant and shameless person like you in my life!"

The young master was scolded by Ruan Hongfei, and his face lost his smile. His voice turned cold and he said, "Ignorant and shameless! Lord Du, I just respect you as a good man. If you treat me with courtesy, you don't know how to praise him!"

"Does the Lord need your courtesy?" As if hearing the funniest joke in the world, Ruan Hongfei pointed to the table, showed a pirate face, and asked with a sneer, "Is this your ship? Your men? Or you?" You don’t even have a fart, but you control those two idiots in Huaiyang from a distance, in front of Brother Li and Brother Chen, do you treat me with courtesy? Do you have the right to treat me with courtesy? Who are you?”

The two men were at war with each other for a while, Li Fang and Chen Dabao hurriedly persuaded him to make peace, "Brother Du, Young Master, let's talk if we have something to say, and calm down when we have something to say."

The corner of the young master's lips twitched suddenly, "Guozhu Du is very reasonable now, yes, I forgot, originally Du Guozhu was also a famous person in the imperial capital, and now he is also the guest of honor on the emperor's bed, no wonder he is full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness! "

"At least I have a name and surname. It's not like someone hides his head and shows his tail, and is shameful!" Ruan Hongfei looked back with a sneer.

The young master retorted, "Like what the lord just said, I'm sorry to disagree. According to what the lord said, we are all part of the Celestial Dynasty, and we are all our own people. But as far as I know, the reason why the lord is living in the rivers and lakes is because Brother Li and Brother Chen Will go to sea to become a bandit, because they are framed and slandered by their own people, and they have to do it. What is one's own people, can the people of the Celestial Dynasty be our own people? Haha! But when our own people become bad, they are worse than the Tatars! People are ruthless, but they are more ruthless than Tatars!"

"Besides, it's even more merciless for one's own people to kill one's own people." The young master's argument is quite good, "Back then, Qin Baiqi pitted 40 soldiers from the Zhao State, did he count as his own people killing his own people! The king was insulted by the prince, his adoptive father was betrayed, and the court ordered him to die. Who would come out to sympathize with the king? The king avenged himself and kidnapped the brothers of the Feng family, but he was regarded as a traitor by the court. Now the king is not Forget about past suspicions and speak for the court, it is really puzzling."

"You don't have to be puzzled. Now that you are defeated, it is meaningless to say these things." Ruan Hongfei said, "You understand that it is absolutely impossible to rely on the Tatars to capture the imperial capital. Once the Qin King's soldiers arrive, the Tatars will die. one."

The young master laughed twice, shook his head and said, "I never thought about wanting the Tatars to win. Why doesn't the king understand that if the king's master does not go to the imperial capital, how can I get Jiangnan? As long as I get the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will It can be ruled by the imperial court on the river. And with the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the help of brothers Li and Chen, it is only a matter of time to compete with the imperial court."

"Are you so sure that Master Qin will go to the imperial capital?" Ruan Hongfei asked with a faint smile, "What if you guessed wrong."

"The soldiers of Zhejiang and Fujian are weak, and they have only improved since the last time the emperor rectified the official circles of Zhejiang and Fujian. However, the gains are limited." The young master has a gentle attitude, "Yongding Marquis is a good soldier in training, and he has gone since Yongding Marquis Huaiyang, every day to train soldiers and horses, to be precise, my obstacle is only Marquis Yongding."

"Although the Marquis of Yongding is good at soldiers and horses, he is only average in government affairs. And he is just a warrior. The difficulty lies in Lin Yongshang's shrewdness." The young master smiled slightly and looked at Ruan Hongfei, "However, Lin Yongshang is nothing to me. Difficulty? The king also understands my identity. Back then, Fan Linxi was my father's teacher, and I was also taught by Fan Linxi. Lin Yongshang was Fan Linxi's eldest son and grandson. He used to study with me in the palace. Yongshang and I have a very strong relationship. "

Ruan Hongfei leaned back in the chair, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Lin Yongshang is an important minister of the court, the emperor's confidant, do you think Lin Yongshang will betray the court for a dead man?"

"What is the imperial court?" The young master asked back, "In the future, Jiangnan will be in my hands, and I will be the imperial court."

Ruan Hongfei smiled slightly. If he really had full confidence in Lin Yongshang, why did he bother to get Lin Yongshang away from Jiangnan?It's nothing more than fear that Lin Yongshang and Marquis Yongding will get along well and be difficult to deal with.Now that the face has been torn apart, how can we talk about the "very deep feelings in the past"?
