Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Jiang Bin silently looked at the Emperor Zhengde who was wearing a bun in front of him. A grain of ice-clear rice stung Jiang Bin's eyes. He took half a step back, and then half a step back.

Emperor Jiang Zhengde spread his hands in aggrieved way: "I also couldn't get out of my body, so I made such a bad plan."

Was it really the golden cicada that had escaped its shell and left Lu Qing, Tang He and other guards in Jinyi who Jiang Bin had instructed to stay close to each other without a trace?How many days can you hide from a clever enough switch?He came here alone, if something really happens, who will take care of it?

"Zhang Yongneng dragged it on for a while." Emperor Zhengde took the veil and wiped off the powder on his face, "The little Tatar Prince Ba Tumeng has gathered [-] soldiers to station at Yulin Guard."

Everyone was startled, they didn't expect the battle to come so fast.Fifty thousand is not a small number. It is necessary to transfer enough troops to resist the attack to Xuanfu in a short time...

"It's just a test." Emperor Zhengde took out a detailed map from his arms and pointed to the location of the Yulin Guard on it. "This tartar is very cunning. He didn't listen to the news I released, but he There is also no way of knowing how many troops the Xuan Mansion has." After thinking for a moment, he looked up at the map and said, "Wang Xun, Zhang Xun, Sun Zhen!"

"The minister is here!" The three of them stepped forward together.

"You wait to lead [-] troops and station them in Datong."

"Order!"

"Xiao Di."

"Chen is here!"

"You mobilize troops to handle the settlement fort."

"Order!"

While talking, the sky was already dark, and when the lamp was lit, Emperor Zhengde's eyes were full of bloodthirsty light: "I have ordered Xuanfu guerrilla Li Shichun to lead the troops to Tianchengwei, deputy commander Tao Jie, general Yang Yu, Yansui Participating general Hang Xiong went to Yanghewei in several waves, the deputy commander Zhu Luan was stationed at Pingluwei, and guerrilla Zhou Zheng was stationed at Weiyuanwei..." He stood up and walked to the door, looking outside one by one. Lights, "Datong is a place that must be contested, everyone, don't be restless, don't take it lightly!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

At this moment, no one paid any attention to the funny and weird attire of the man standing with his hands behind his back.

In the distance, dark clouds formed a mass of dark red and pressed down, which seemed to herald the coming of another bloody storm.

It was night, Jiang Bin tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he put on his clothes and got up and walked outside the house. The night wind in early summer made him more awake.Not long after, there were casual footsteps behind him.

Jiang Bin turned his head and looked at the man whose hair was not completely dry: "When will the emperor go back?"

Emperor Zhengde, who was only in his middle coat, stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Tomorrow morning."

Jiang Bin didn't speak any more, and the two just stood side by side.The sound of the wind in my ears seemed to be murmuring passionately, dragging the end of the sound for a long time.

Emperor Zhengde couldn't stand it any longer, so he spoke first: "I will deceive those secret agents, and I will reconcile with you."

Jiang Bin didn't say a word, just pulled his hand back, and Emperor Zhengde said again: "The cabinet is supported by Liang Chu and Jiang Mian. I went to see Li Shichun's daughter-in-law a few days ago. She cared about her old mother and didn't want to go to the capital to raise a baby. I asked the nanny in the palace to take care of her. Wang Wei has become a little fatter, wandering around all day long, and if he is not careful, he will be scooped out by others."

Jiang Bin still lowered his hands and said nothing, and wanted to nod perfunctorily, but he was caught in his arms and hugged fiercely in the next moment. Before Jiang Bin could react, the man had already let go of his hand, like a stealing cat, and he was in a hurry. Gone.

When I woke up the next day, Emperor Zhengde had left, leaving only a small book on the bed.

In order not to startle the enemy, after receiving the order, several people only went to several guards in Datong to check, so that when necessary, they could dispatch troops to several important places in Datong with their seals and flags.However, the inspection situation is not optimistic.Most of the newly established guards after Yongle were located on the line from the southwest of Datong to Shuozhou.In addition, the officers of the guards often merged with the soldiers to farm the fields, and the desertion of the soldiers was serious, which was far from reaching the military strength required by Emperor Zhengde.But even if they are not satisfied, Wang Xun and others are unwilling to pull strong men to make up for it.Living in Datong these days, I know the suffering of the people best.

Ten days later, Li Shichun, Tao Jie, Yang Yu, Hang Xiong, Zhu Luan, and Zhou Zheng all arrived in Datong with their troops. According to Emperor Zhengde's instructions, they were strictly waiting in the northeast, northwest, and southwest of Datong.At the same time, Ba Tumengke, the little Tatar prince who had assembled nearly [-] soldiers, launched an attack on Yulin Guard.The original Yulin Guard, located outside the Great Wall's Tiger-killing Pass, fell into the hands of the Mongols after the "civil engineering change" during the reign of Emperor Yingzong.Today's Yulin Guard is another city built by the Datong Right Guard in Shahukou in the Ming Dynasty.It is a blatant provocation that Ba Tumeng, the little Tatar prince, can choose this place.

After the Emperor Zhengde got the report, he ordered Jin Yiwei, who was on standby, to take Ma Ang, who was suspected of being a spy, to prison, and escorted his concubine Liu and sister Ma back to the capital to await trial. "Official Zhu Shou", he quickly summoned the [-] Beijing troops who were originally transferred to the Xuanfu.Although those Beijing troops were rectified much more capable at the Xuanfu school grounds, they were still different from the frontier troops who were originally stationed in Xuanfu and had to deal with surprise attacks every now and then.Even with Emperor Zhengde in charge, he still showed his timidity against the Tatar cavalry for the first time.

Ba Tumeng led a surprise attack with [-] soldiers, originally for the purpose of probing. Seeing that the Ming army had only such a strength, and the emperor was still in command, he was still cowering, thinking that this was just a group of mobs. Troops were directed to Datong, an important border town.

Emperor Zhengde immediately led 2 people from the Xuanfu Beijing Army to Xuanfu Town Shunshengchuan.Shunshengchuan is a natural barrier against sudden Tatar attacks. It reaches Yanghewei in the north, Datong Town in the west, and Yingzhou Prefecture in the south. It is the most well-informed.However, Ba Tumeng, the little Tatar prince, did not concentrate his firepower to attack Datong in the east. Instead, he went south and launched an attack on the Pinglu Guards stationed by the deputy commander Zhu Luan and the Weiyuan Guards stationed by the guerrilla Zhou Zheng.The position of the two guards is prominent and the situation is isolated. If it falls into the hands of the Tatars, the consequences will be disastrous.For the first time in the confrontation, the Tatar army stopped after a taste. It was too late when Zhu Luan and Zhou Zheng found out that the main force of the Tatars, [-], had already bypassed their sight and advanced towards the important place of Datong where Wang Xun was stationed.

Wang Xun had less than [-] troops in his hands. Emperor Zhengde knew that he could not hold on, so he led his troops to Yanghe and at the same time ordered: "The Liaodong general Xiao Yu and the Xuanfu guerrilla Li Shichun rushed to Datong to reinforce Wang Xun. The deputy commander-in-chief Zhu Luan and guerrilla Zhou Zheng will set off today to follow the main force of the enemy army and must not attack without authorization. Zhu Zhen, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, and Zuo Qin, the general in charge, will immediately mobilize their troops and go to Yanghe."

Even so, the strength of the troops is still insufficient.

Jiang Bin didn't receive the order, so he could only help Shanxi Xingdu to evacuate the people from the rear and ensure the transportation of money and food for the army and horses.The weather has turned hot, and Jiang Bin, who did it himself, was bitten by a mosquito all morning. The officials who nodded and bowed to him couldn't understand, and asked each other why the leader of the eagle dog did this?

At night, Jiang Bin flipped through the thread-bound notebook that Zhengde left behind that night, scribbled densely packed notes of what he had seen and heard from his previous trip to Nanjing and other places.The sufferings of the people are circled with a Chinese ink pen, and sometimes the topography is outlined with a few strokes.Even if Emperor Zhengde deliberately left it to buy people's hearts, Jiang Bin recognized it.

Looking at Yinghuo, which symbolizes the fire of the five elements in the sky, it sometimes faces east and sometimes west, flickering bright and dark, making it hard to guess its mind.

The Tatar soldiers approached the important place of Datong when night fell, and the clouds of sorrow gathered in everyone's hearts, and they could not live in peace for a moment.When it was about to explode, Qiu Ying was holding the infant baby but refused to leave: "I want to see the Tartar's head hanging on the city gate!"

Jiang Bin was startled, looked at the nanny and a few servants who had packed up everything and were about to flee for their lives as soon as he gave an order, turned their backs unbearably and said, "I'm also looking forward to Xiner drawing lots."

Qiu Ying nodded, but still did not leave.The calmness between the eyebrows is very much like her husband.

It was night, Wang Xun was ordered to take the initiative to attack the next day.Jiang Bin rushed over and handed Qiu Ying the peace talisman he had begged for.Wang Xun, who was wearing two black and blue bends, tied the talisman around his waist, glanced at the nine-section whip pinned by Jiang Bin and said: "I took it lightly last time, and I will compare it again in the future."

"If you lose, you will be punished with alcohol." Jiang Bin agreed.

"Throw it in the kiln." Wang Xun pointed with his chin.

Jiang Bin punched him, and everyone laughed.

Wang Xun sent Jiang Bin out of the tent, and said: "Don't worry, the emperor has other arrangements."

Jiang Bin nodded, got on his horse and raised the reins, "Tartars are very cunning, don't take it hard..."

"Are you cunning?" Wang Xun made fun of him again.

Jiang Bin shook his head, waved his whip and disappeared into the night.

On Pingdan the next day, when the red round first revealed an arc on the horizon, there were deafening drumming sounds from Xiunu Village in the northwest of Yingzhou City.Wang Xun led [-] soldiers against the [-] elite soldiers led by the little Tatar prince Ba Tumengke.After a fierce battle, the Tatar soldiers suddenly left the battlefield and headed south from the southwest of Yingzhou.According to this route, you can enter the Jinzhong Plain by breaking through the section of the Great Wall between Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass.Zhu Luan and Zhou Zheng's troops hadn't caught up with the enemy's pace, so Sun Zhen and Zhang Xiang arrived in time to stop the [-] cunning Tatar army and start a battle at Wuli Village in the north of Yingzhou City.

Soldiers are valuable, and the Datong soldiers under Wang Xun, Sun Zhen, and Zhang Yuan's command are brave and good at fighting, and they train according to the method of dealing with Mongolian cavalry on weekdays, so it is easy to stop them for a while.Ba Tumeng, the little Tatar prince, could see that he couldn't please him, and it was getting dark again, so he had to retreat temporarily.

Wang Xun and others also led their troops back to Yingzhou City to rest and recharge their batteries.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Luan and Zhou Zheng, who were rushing so quickly, finally led troops to join them, but even so, the combined strength was only [-], which was still difficult to resist the enemy. They made a battle plan overnight and prepared to come bluff.

Before dawn the next day, the Ming army rushed out of the city gate with great momentum, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Ba Tumeng did not expect the sudden arrival of the Ming army to double, and he hurriedly ordered to fight in shock, but unexpectedly, the Ming army fought and fled for a while, and always set up ambushes, which made the Tatar army exhausted and stagnant.Zhang Yu thought of a way, tied a steel wire between the two trees, and asked soldiers to lead him in front, and bypassed the tree. The Tazi soldiers chased him anxiously, galloped over, and the steel wire cut off his neck in unison.In this way, the tartar saw the tree and detoured. Sun Zhen looked at it and clapped his hands and laughed.

The little prince Ba Tumeng didn't expect that Wang Xun and others would dare to use the "empty city strategy" and come out in full force, creating the illusion that a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army had gathered at night.However, Ba Tumeng was battle-tested after all. After nearly two days of fighting, he finally discovered the clues. In a rage, he concentrated his troops and prepared to attack Yingzhou City. Wang Xun and others quickly retreated to the city to defend.

"The emperor has ordered general Xiao Ju and guerrilla Li Shichun to come to support and survive these few days..."

Who doesn't know this?But there are wolves, tigers and leopards on the outside, and there is not enough food and grass on the inside... Besieged here, morale is low, and it is not easy to survive until the reinforcements come.All the tigers and generals were silent.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xun looked at Longshou Mountain from a distance, and recalled that Wang Ji said that he had not experienced storms.He was always unconvinced. He thought that he had seen the world when he traveled with his father since he was a child. He didn't realize until today that he had never been so driven to a dead end because of his father's protection.

On the other end, Sun Zhen went to find Wang Xun with a drink, but was stopped by Zhang Min: "Drinking is a waste of time."

Sun Zhen curled his lips: "Aren't you happy if I don't look at my second brother?"

Zhang Yu looked at him fixedly: "Could it be that you are happy?"

Sun Zhen looked at Zhang Min who was half covered by the moonlight in front of him, and shook his hand holding the wine bag: "Maybe it's the last time..."

Zhang Min slapped him on the neck, Sun Zhen shut his mouth, and tied the wine bag back to his waist.Zhang Min stared at his movements, took a breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Aren't you still thinking about marrying a wife?"

After hearing this, Sun Zhen smiled: "You're half a year older than me, so it's my turn to wait until you get round."

The smile on Zhang Min's face couldn't last, he lost weight, and whispered: "I'm afraid I will teach you to wait."

Sun Zhen didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Min's words, so he just patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Even a blind cat! It can also run into a dead mouse!"

The two talked for a while, and then parted ways.

Looking at Sun Zhen's carefree appearance, Zhang Xuan brushed off his sleeves with downcast eyes.There is no dust on the clothes, only the mind has distracting thoughts.

Jiang Bin got an urgent report in Datong Town, and he was very worried.

At this moment, both Lu Qing and Tang He arrived and brought a secret order - "Go to Yanghe quickly."

When Jiang Bin and the two arrived at Yanghe overnight on horseback, Emperor Zhengde was leaving the camp with a group of troops led by the general Zuo Qin. Seeing Jiang Bin, he smiled happily and said, "Let's go to meet you and my son."
