The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 156 Novice Village is Too Dangerous
At dawn on February [-]th, all civil servants were gathering at the Meridian Gate.

On the way they came, they had already heard the news that Wang Yue took the risk and abandoned Pianguanguan City. The ministers on the road exploded, not to mention ordinary ministers, even Ma Wensheng and other experienced military veterans would do it. I don't understand Wang Yue's motive.

Zhu Youtang showed up at the Meridian Gate with several eunuchs from the Supervisor of Rites.

Zhu Youtang was sitting on the throne, his expression showed that he hadn't had a good rest in the past two days.

But the emperor seemed to speak slowly, as if he was not too eager in his heart.

From the minister's point of view, the emperor felt that "there is nothing more sorrowful than death." Anyway, he knew that the capital's order would not be able to help the Northwest, so he was a bit resigned to his fate.

The court meeting has just begun.

Min Gui, the censor of Zuodu, took the lead in making things harder for the king.

"...Pianguan is the most important thing for our defense in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Yushi Wang of Youdu didn't think about the emperor's favor, and he blatantly abandoned the defense of the pass, which made Di Yi have the opportunity to invade our inland. Please also arrest him and dismiss him from his post. !"

Min Gui is the censor of Zuodu, the highest official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and has the responsibility of investigating the negligence of the minister.

This time Wang Yue went to Biantouguan to be the head of Xuanda, and he was given the official title of Yushi of Youdu and Zuoshilang of the Ministry of War, which means that he was within the supervision scope of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Min Gui directly came to impeach Wang Yue. It is also its responsibility.

After Min Gui finished speaking.

The officials present at the Ke Dao were excited, and several people came out to participate in the impeachment one after another, especially the Bing Kedu's words on the matter were the most violent, and they even brought up the old matter again, bribing Wang Yue to Li Guang, colluding with Wang Zhi, etc. Pour it out together.

Wang Yue is like a national thief.

After the civil servant made the move, it was Zhu Youtang's turn to take the move.

The person was sent by him, don't say that he now knows Wang Yue's motives, even if he doesn't understand Wang Yue's intentions, he can't just beat him to death with a stick.

The emperor doesn't want to lose face?
Zhu Youtang is also pondering, don't you ministers understand this truth?
"Last night, I discussed this matter with Ma Qing's family, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Mr. Liu Ge of the cabinet. I also felt that Wang Yue's move was too hasty, but he had a strategic plan. I sent him to Pianguan two months in advance. Prepare for battle, with his achievements in leading troops, is it just that when the enemy comes, he leads the troops to withdraw from the pass?"

This time the emperor can be regarded as having a solid relationship with the minister.

That's right, Wang Yue was sent by me, you don't have to doubt it.

Moreover, Wang Yueren has been in Piantouguan for nearly two months, and he has been preparing for the battle there for a long time. If he has no strategic plan at all, you just ask yourself, do you believe it?

Don't participate in impeachment for the sake of impeachment, use your brain more!
Xie Qian came out, held up the wat board and said, "May I ask your majesty, does Wang Weining have any intention to explain his intention to use troops at the partial pass? If the Tatars occupy the partial pass, or even destroy the pass, how should he return to the army to fight?" ? Or... are you going to lure the Tatar soldiers and horses further south, and then encircle them?"

Now no minister would think that Wang Yue dared to fight back with a small number of cavalry while throwing his head to the Tatars.

It can only be explained that Wang Yue's move was to let the Tatars "take advantage of the gap" and let the Tatars move closer to Datong and other places, and then sent Xuanfu and other town troops to cut off the Tatars' retreat...

In fact, this is also a bit nonsense.

The Tatar cavalry came and went like the wind, and they couldn’t get out of one pass, but they could go through another pass. The Tatar cavalry was in the territory of Ming Dynasty, and which army would dare to confront it head-on in the wilderness?
Just fire sieve, in the past few years, when the bandits invaded the border and invaded the country, which time did they not come out arrogantly and go away?

Zhu Youtang said: "It's too early to say this. I can't convict people of crimes that haven't happened. Even if Wang Yue is at fault and the incident has already happened, it's too late for me to correct it now. It's too late to change the commander before the battle. It’s better to wait for the rebellion in the northwest to subside before making a long-term plan.”

Wang Zongyi, the right servant of the Ministry of War, asked for an order: "Your Majesty, around the capital..."

"Wang Qing's family, you don't need to talk about it, not to mention Nei Sanguan and the capital, even in Xuanfu, Datong and other places, I have already issued a decree that all places are under martial law and you are not allowed to go out of the fortress to fight. Even if it is Wang Yue, It is also a response to the enemy's attack, and he did not take the initiative to attack, can't you give him a few days to judge the hero by success or failure?"

The emperor was also a little angry.

You people, if you like to think about it after the fact, forget it. Now that the matter is not over, even if you want to sum up after the war, don’t you wait for the results of the battle first?

What's the use of tangling Wang Yue's crime and ass now?

Who thinks that Wang Yue is guilty, don't beep, I will give you a sword and go to the northwest to catch him by yourself!Who dares?
With the appearance of a loyal and courageous admonishing minister, when you present me with a problem, have you ever wondered if there is any difficulty in implementing it?
……

……

The follow-up court meeting is basically still the military administration of the Northwest.

But compared to the first battle at Piantouguan, those things seem to be nothing. Zhu Youtang also ended this court meeting early, but the cabinet ministers Liu Jian and Xie Qian stayed, and the Minister of War Ma Wensheng was on duty in the cabinet. , ready to dispatch at any time.

When Zhu Youtang was walking in the direction of Qianqing Palace, he had just passed the steps in front of Fengtian Hall when a ray of sunlight fell on Zhu Youtang.

"Its daybreak."

Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes, looking at the rising sun in the east.

Dai Yi said: "Yes, Your Majesty, on February day, the sun rises later, after late spring, before the court meeting is over, it will be dawn."

Zhu Youtang said with a peaceful face: "It's because the court meeting is short today. Here and Pianguan, we see the same ray of sunshine. I don't know if Wang Weining has fought a battle in Pianguan, and what is the result?" ?”

Dai Yi could hear the anxiety in Zhu Youtang's heart, and the emperor just didn't show it on his face, but he was still anxious in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night.

"Your Majesty, it is expected that Wang Weining will not lose the prestige of the Daming Frontier Army." Dai Yi said.

"Ah."

Zhu Youtang nodded, "Today's second test will be over, let him enter the palace to see me later. Speaking of which, I still miss him a little bit."

Dai Yi was taken aback.

Who is your Majesty thinking badly about, but Zhang Zhou?

After thinking about it again, this longing should be a spiritual sustenance. The more helpless the emperor was, the more he wanted to use Zhang Zhou's unpredictable ability.

Dai Yi said: "The old slave turned around and asked someone to pass on the message."

……

……

It is also the rising sun.

The location was changed to Piantouguan.

Dragging his exhausted body, Zhu Feng reined in the horse in front of a house close to Beichengguan. The man almost fell off the horse's back, and he stabilized his body with his hands on the ground, and put the heavy armor on his body to the ground. Take it off.

"General!"

The followers next to him felt that Zhu Feng was playing with fire by doing this.

Just after the war ended, you, Zhu Feng, were in a hurry to remove your armor. Do you really think there is no hidden danger in this city?
"Too heavy!"

Zhu Feng just spoke out the most sincere thoughts in his heart, and when he wanted to put down his sword and find a place to rest, suddenly there was the sound of horses roaring in the distance, he quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword, his hands were still shaking.

When he saw clearly that the roaring horse was a general of his right army, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the sandbag with his buttocks propped up on the hilt of his sword.

The sandbags were surrounded by scattered rice, and when I grabbed a handful from the ground, there was still bloody smell in it.

There are granaries around.

The granary was the key bombed location, and Wang Yue planted explosives in all granaries and places with luggage.

Probably Wang Yue has never cared about foreign things, so that these high-quality rice were blown up all over the street together with the flesh and blood of the Tatars.

Zhu Feng looked at the bloodstains and meat-like things that could be seen everywhere on the street, and his stomach was overwhelmed.

"Major General!"

The one who got off the horse was Wu Tong, a guerrilla general sent by Wang Yue to cooperate with Zhu Feng.

Wu Tong used to be the commander of the Yulin Guards. He fought with Wang Yue, was appreciated and promoted to join the army. He is regarded as Wang Yue's direct descendant.

Zhu Feng said: "Excuse me, cough cough."

Maybe it was because of the wind and cold, or maybe it was because he was too tired last night, Zhu Feng coughed.

After a while, when Zhu Feng got better, Wu Tong said, "The Tatars are no longer seen at the north gate of the city. Our department is in charge of escorting and guarding the prisoners in the city. They have all arrived at the barracks in the east of the city. Why don't the major general go to sit in charge?"

"No... no need."

Zhu Feng almost wanted to say, this is not a place for people to stay, I want to go home!

A dandy, let alone lead soldiers before, he has never even seen what a battlefield looks like, so let him see such a tragic scene of blood and flesh flying here.

The first-level trumpet, which Novice Village has not seen yet, directly faces the one-hundred-level boss, and it is still a one-on-one fight.

Wu Tong sighed: "The heroism of the major general really impresses the lowly ranks, especially when you killed Di Yi with your own hands."

"cough."

When Zhu Feng heard this, his hands trembled even more.

That is called power cut?

It was clear that after entering the city, the horses were frightened by the explosion, and they almost ran wildly on the street. There happened to be a Tatar in front of him who had lost his horse, and he was alone. When the man hit him, he was knocked down, and the subordinates who followed him chopped him down.

But because of this, as a novice in the battlefield, Zhu Feng actually gained experience.

It was also because of this that his hands were trembling all the time, and he had to hold on to something to calm down a little. This was also the reason why he had been holding on to the hilt of his sword since he dismounted.

"Yes... I have won the award."

Zhu Feng felt uncomfortable.

I'm just here for experience, I really don't have the ambition to make contributions, even if I say I want to come to the battlefield, I don't say I want to come to this kind of place to work hard.

Could it be my father, Brother Zhang, and Wang Weining, did they misunderstand my intentions?
Wu Tong almost wanted to blow Zhu Feng into the sky...

During the battle last night, Wu Tong hated Zhu Feng for being timid, but after the battle was over, Wu Tong immediately understood that Zhu Feng, as the commander of the three armies, has a strong background, and it is inevitable that he will be promoted after returning.

Wu Tong figured that even if he couldn't eat meat, he would definitely be able to reap a lot of money if he drank some soup.

Zhu Feng stood up holding the hilt of his sword, and asked, "Have you got any wine?"

A follower next to him took out a leather bag containing wine. Alcohol was forbidden in Wang Yue's army, but during the battle, soldiers were allowed to bring wine, saying that the spicy food could arouse the soldiers' pride and reduce the fear on the battlefield.

Zhu Feng was about to pick it up.

Wu Tongdao: "Major General, if you want to drink, have someone warm it up for you. Wei Ningbo has ordered that it is cold in February, so the army should not drink cold wine."

Zhu Feng wanted to say, I just want to drink some wine to calm my nerves, is this all right?

"Major General, you haven't heard the story about Chen Liangjiu, have you?"

Of course Zhu Feng had heard of it.

Wang Yue likes to satirize Chen Rui in front of his subordinates when he has nothing to do. Perhaps because Chen Rui has a high prestige in the army in the past few years, Wang Yue takes Chen Rui as a negative example to demonstrate his prestige in the army.

Wu Tong said mockingly: "The father of the last general followed Wei Ningbo to the Weining Sea, and he was born and died with Wei Ningbo. He was never afraid of the Tartars! But some people don't think about bloody battles when they meet the enemy, but think about it. Leading the soldiers to flee, there was news earlier that Uncle Ping Jiang led the troops to this side and came back when he heard that the bloody battle in Guancheng was going well, and it is estimated that he will enter the city in the afternoon."

Just as he was talking, another messenger came over.

The messenger said: "General Zhu, Wang Junmen invites you to go over and talk!"

If Wu Tong asked Zhu Feng to go to the west of the city to guard the prisoners, Zhu Feng could not go, but Wang Yue personally sent someone to call... Zhu Feng had no choice but to go.

……

……

The city head in the north of the city.

Zhu Feng cautiously followed the soldiers up the city wall, and looked down...a height of more than ten feet, making her dizzy.

Zhu Feng was very afraid that the section of the city wall under his feet would also collapse, and he would fall down.

Wang Yue was holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

"Old Wang." Zhu Feng said, sucking in his snot.

Wang Yue put down the binoculars, looked back at Zhu Feng, and found that the armor on Zhu Feng's body was only put on temporarily, and it was obvious that he had left his body earlier.

"Zhijie, this battle has yielded a lot of rewards. There are more than 600 heads of Tartars alone! Not counting those who were blown to pieces, there are at least hundreds of people..."

Zhu Feng's throat moved, and he didn't know whether he was swallowing saliva or snot, but he managed to calm down and said: "Old Wang, the tartars have all run away, are you afraid that they will go and come back?"

"Ha ha."

Wang Yue smiled and said, "What are you doing as the people below? Re-arrange the mighty sky gunpowder. If there are few Tatars, then shoot them back one by one. If there are all of them, they will explode together... Don't worry. Well, from what this old man has seen, the Tatars have suffered such a setback, not to mention returning soldiers to attack again, it is estimated that they will not dare to come again within a few years!"

Zhu Feng was worried to death.

The city wall is full of gaps, it seems that it is not fortified, and there are only a few thousand defenders in the city, can it do anything?

But seeing Wang Yue's calm and composed appearance, as well as the new gunpowder explosion points being buried everywhere, as well as the re-installed artillery and firecrackers, he felt confident.

Is it finally over...?
"Then Mr. Wang, why didn't you pursue him?" Zhu Feng asked another question that sounded naive to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue said: "Zhijie, isn't your present contribution not enough for you to make great achievements?"

Zhu Feng thought, this must be enough.

Wang Yue pointed under the top of the city and said, "The Tatars left at least [-] corpses here, as well as [-] to [-] captives, and thousands of horses and livestock... This should be enough credit, right?"

"Uh……"

Seeing Wang Yue earnestly asking for advice, Zhu Feng was suddenly a little dazed.

Is the credit enough? I need to define it?
Wait, he didn't mean to say, I'm the supervisor of this battle, right?

"Where's Eunuch Zhang?" Zhu Feng thought of Zhang Yong, the supervisor of the army.

Wang Yue said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang is not in the city, he probably will enter the city before noon before Chen Liangjiu."

"Oh."

Zhu Feng thought for a while, but the supervisor was not there.

Wang Yue cared about his thoughts, probably because he represented Zhang Zhou.

Wang Yue said again: "Don't chase after the poor bandits. If you insist on chasing them out, and encounter bandits and bandits to gather and fight back, and be impeached by civil servants for several memorials, the credit for this will not be clear."

Zhu Feng listened.

have to.

Your old man, fighting wars, is a business.

This is because the business has earned enough, and I am afraid of being greedy, so I continue to fight and get a part of the credit earned.

It's better to take it when you see it.

Zhu Feng himself liked doing business, and suddenly he felt that Old Man Wang's business experience was quite pleasing to the ears.

As long as he doesn't continue chasing...he doesn't have to worry about his life.

It doesn't matter whether you fight or not in the future, anyway, I will definitely not come again!
