The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 221 Introduction to the Maritime Merchant Case, Loyal and Brave You Tianjue
Prosperous times will inevitably bring prosperity to the commodity economy.The prosperity of commerce will inevitably lead to rampant smuggling trade.

The smuggling merchants of Ming Dynasty often colluded with Japanese pirates.It is difficult to distinguish between real Japanese and fake Japanese.What is certain is that they dare to do anything for ill-gotten gains.

Hongzhi 15 years, spring.

Fujian coastal area, Yongningwei.

Yongning is a relatively large acropolis in southeastern Fujian.It has five subordinate cities: Fuquan, Jinmen, Zhongzuo, Gaopu, and Chongwu.

The chief general of Yongningwei is Zhen Fu You Tianjue.

Fifteen years ago, Chang Feng was ordered to go south to worship Mazu on behalf of Tian. He and You Tianjue had experienced the siege of Japanese pirates together.

At the time of parting, Chang Feng promised to speak kind words to the Ministry of War after returning to the capital, and promoted You Tianjue to be the commander.

However, Chang Feng's qualifications in the first year of Hongzhi were still relatively young, and his power and speaking weight were far behind today's.

At that time, Chang Feng casually greeted Lang Zhong, the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War.The doctor immediately agreed.

But that's how civil servants work.It's easy to say anything in person.To really do things, I'm sorry, but I have to take real money.

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just procrastinating.

After Chang Feng said hello, he forgot about it and didn't ask again.

The civil servants of the Ministry of War dragged on for 15 years. For 15 years, You Tianjue did not get any promotion.

It stands to reason that an ordinary guard general, even if he is mediocre and has not made any decent military exploits, should be promoted one or two ranks in 15 years.

You Tianjue suffered a loss because of his name.

The Military Selection Department is responsible for the promotion of generals in Fujian. When they saw his name, they said, "He belongs to heaven and rank. His name is a taboo."

"The promotion list is presented to the emperor. If the emperor thinks his name is disrespectful, who will be responsible for Longyan's fury?"

As a result, Brother You's caretaker has changed from 21 to 36 years old.

You Tianjue didn't care if he couldn't be promoted.

He is not interested in being promoted, the only thing he is interested in is fighting Japanese pirates in fancy ways.

In Yongning, the main city, and the five cities, he set up beacon towers in imitation of the Great Wall, and built watchtowers in each city.

If a Japanese pirate ship is found, the signal will be sent with beacon smoke.The six cities support each other.

If the Japanese pirates attack by force, they will hold on to the city.When the Japanese pirates retreated, they took the initiative to attack, intercepting and killing them in a roundabout way.

In addition to serving as the coastal defense force, You Tianjue's department also served as a customs inspection team.Whenever smuggled goods landed, You Tianjue sent troops to seize them.

It has been 15 years, whether it is Japanese pirates or smugglers, there is a saying among them, "Don't commit crimes against Yongning".

In the early morning, the red sun rose from the sea level and shone over Yongning City.

The 36-year-old governor You Tianjue stood on the city wall overlooking the city.

There are six hundred boxes of silk, thousands of tans of tea, and countless porcelains in the city.This was seized just three days ago.It is the largest batch of smuggled goods that You Tianjue has seized since guarding Yongning.

Of course, the smuggling caravan is not free.There are a large number of real Japanese and fake Japanese guards.

In order to seize the smuggled goods, You Tianjue killed four hundred Paoze.

The actual number of staff in Yongning Acropolis is only [-].The actual number of staff in the remaining five cities is only [-].

The 400 casualties were not a small loss for You Tianjue.

You Tianjue's son, You Jingwu, walked up to his father.

You Jingwu said: "Father, the brothers who are responsible for escorting the smuggled goods to Fuzhou Shipping Department are all ready."

You Tianjue said: "Let them go."

You Jingwu sighed: "Alas. The things that the brothers seized with their lives may be privately divided by the fathers-in-law of the Shibo Division."

In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up three shipping departments in Ningbo, Quanzhou and Guangzhou.In the eighth year of Chenghua, in order to suppress the maritime forces in Quanzhou, the imperial court withdrew the Quanzhou Shipping Department and re-established the Fuzhou Shipping Department.

The Shibo Department is under the supervision of the Supervision Department.Functions are similar to customs.It's a fat and water Yamen.

The companies of the three major shipping companies are all extremely rich.

One of Qian Neng's disciples got a job as a supervising eunuch in the Shipping Department of Ningbo City.When I left Beijing to take up my post, I brought two suitcases of clothes with me.

He served for three years, and when he returned to Beijing, he brought twelve people in boxes of silver.

You Tianjue said: "It's not something we should or can manage if father-in-laws share privately or not. Just fulfill your duties and have a clear conscience."

At this moment, a scout general flag shouted: "Wolf smoke!"

You Tianjue looked up and saw the five directions of Chongwu, Fuquan, Jinmen, Zhongzuo and Gaopu, all with beacon signals lit.

You Tianjue frowned: "It's strange. How did the Japanese pirates attack five cities together? How many Japanese pirates have to land here?"

At this moment, the soldiers on the watchtower of Yongning City shouted: "Japanese police! Japanese police!"

Dozens of Japanese pirate Hachiman ships appeared along the coast.Countless pirates paddling boats swarmed ashore.

You Tianjue took a rough look, and there were at least seven or eight thousand Japanese pirates who landed!

You Jingwu asked: "Dad, are they here for this batch of goods?"

You Tianjue said categorically: "Even if they come to pay birthdays, we can't let them take a step into Yongning."

"alert!"

You Jingwu guessed wrong.

The target of the Japanese pirates was not the smuggled goods seized in Yongning City.

In other words, this batch of smuggled goods is just the trigger for the Japanese pirates to land on a large scale.

For more than ten years, smuggling sea merchants and Japanese pirates have suffered enough from You Tianjue.

This time the goods worth 2 taels were seized by You Tianjue.The big boss behind the smuggling trade in Fujian made up his mind to kill You Tianjue and destroy his Yongning Guard Army.

The Japanese pirates carried the siege ladder and pushed the door-ramming car, and under the cover of large cylinders, firecrackers, bows and arrows, they launched a frantic attack towards Yongning City.

You Tianjue is not afraid of the city gate being lost.The gate of the city is a thousand-jin gate, with hardwood wrapped in an iron sheet.The Japanese pirate's door bumper can't be easily hit.

Even if the city gate is knocked open, there are still saber carts in the city gate hole.

Behind the Saimen knife cart, there is Urn City as the third line of defense.

What You Tianjue is most worried about is missing the city wall.

This battle of defending the city lasted from morning to dusk.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall used bows, arrows, firecrackers, and iron cannons as long-range weapons to kill the subsequent Japanese pirates.

Ants attached to the Japanese pirates in Pancheng, and the soldiers of the Ming army dealt with them with stinky hot gold juice, big stones, and kerosene.

The Japanese pirates seem to be crazy.Their attack did not count casualties at all, just like a pack of mad dogs.

The Japanese pirates were nearly ten times larger than the Ming army.Their large cylinders, firecrackers, and bows and arrows caused great casualties to the soldiers of the Ming army.

You Tianjue sensed something was wrong, and thought to himself: The Japanese pirates attacked the city this time, as if they were determined to die with Yongning City.

Usually when the Japanese pirates landed, they always regarded war as a business.How did they start losing money this time?
You Tianjue didn't know that the target of the pirates this time was his old You's head.

The big boss of the smuggling sea merchants offered a high price of 3 taels for You Tianjue's head.The life captive is 5 taels. The "Big Boss" wanted to see You Tianjue be cut alive with his own eyes.

In addition, there is a heavy reward of 20 taels for breaking and massacring the city.

Finally, the sun went down.It was getting dark.The Japanese pirates stopped attacking the city.

You Jingwu walked to his father's side: "Dad, I have already done the calculations. Eight hundred brothers were seriously injured today, and two hundred were killed in battle."

You Tianjue said: "The Japanese pirates who attacked the city suffered at least a thousand casualties today. It's really weird. Are these gangsters crazy?"

You Jingwu said: "Father, before sunset, the five cities set off emergency beacons again. It seems that they have also experienced hard battles in defending the city. It is impossible to count on them to rescue Yongning."

You Tianjue wiped the blood on his sword with a rag: "If it were normal, the Japanese pirates would have withdrawn their troops long ago if they suffered such heavy casualties during their attack on the city."

"But now they are camping on the spot. It seems that they want to continue attacking the city tomorrow."

"We have few soldiers. If they attack for three to five days at any cost, Yongning City will be breached."

You Jingwu said: "Father, I have an idea."

You Tianjue asked: "Oh? What method?"

You Jingwu said: "The reason why they attacked the city is to get back the goods we seized."

"When we attack the city tomorrow, we will ignite those silk and tea poles. Throw them into the city."

"First, a large number of Japanese pirates can be burned to death. Second, the goods are all burned, so there is no need for the beasts to attack the city, and they may die."

You Tianjue praised: "A brilliant plan! My son is my Kong Ming."

To prevent Japanese pirates from attacking at night.You Tianjue arranged for the soldiers to take turns on duty at night on the city wall.He himself led the elite to inspect the four gates.

The night was safe and sound.

At dawn the next day, the Japanese pirates began to gather again to attack the city.The offensive was similar to yesterday.

You Tianjue followed his son's plan, sprinkled bolts of silk and loads of tea with kerosene, lit them, and threw them under the city to form a wall of fire to defend the city.

Countless Japanese pirates were burned to death and injured.The Japanese pirates behind stepped forward on the charred corpse of their companions.

Such an ant-attached siege at any cost, even if You Tianjue's troops were well-trained, casualties would still be unavoidable.

The bows and arrows and blunderbusses of the Japanese pirates in Brother Paoze's body kept falling down.

Even hundreds of Japanese pirates once attacked the west city wall.You Tianjue led his own soldiers to reinforce the west city wall, and fought bloody with knives before destroying the Japanese pirates who ascended the city.

The next day's battle was over.

Of the [-] warriors defending the city, excluding the dead and seriously injured, only [-] remained.

In Yongning City, there lived a large number of families of soldiers.

When the battle was tense in the afternoon, even women and children went to the city wall to help defend.

On the city wall, You Tianjue gradually came to his senses.

He said to his son You Jingwu: "The target of the Japanese pirates this time does not seem to be the batch of burnt goods."

You Jingwu asked: "Father, what is their goal?"

You Tianjue pointed to himself: "Their target may be this city, or my head!"

You Tianjue knew that whether it was the Japanese pirates or Daming, countless people hated him so much these years.

In the past 15 years, You Tianjue may have killed tens of thousands of real and fake Japanese.

The smuggled goods seized and seized may add up to millions of taels.

Many people are playing tricks in private, using official connections, in an attempt to transfer You Tianjue away from Yongningwei.

Fortunately, Liu Cheng'an, governor of Fujian, appreciates You Tianjue, a titan, and has been protecting him.

You Tianjue's enemies have good hands and eyes, and they have a lot of connections with high-ranking officials in the capital.

Governor Liu Chengan's relationship was even harder.He is the teacher of the king of Chu, and he has the power of the vassal king as his backer.He is also good at communication, and he recognizes Xiao Jing, the palm seal of Si Li Jian, as his righteous brother.

Beijing has repeatedly issued orders to transfer You Tianjue away.They were all pushed back abruptly by Liu Chengan.

I, Liu Cheng'an, the governor, has an official taboo full title of "Governor of Fujian and other places and admiral of military affairs".Fujian military affairs are under my jurisdiction.I won't let You Tianjue go, and no one can play tricks to transfer him away.

The longer You Tianjue stayed in Yongningwei, the more people he offended.

This time, someone was determined to kill him and solve the problem once and for all.

Let's say that Yongning's defense of the city has been fought for two days.

You Tianjue only has 400 soldiers left.There are five or six thousand Japanese pirates left outside the city.

In at most two days, Yongning will be conquered.

You Tianjue showed the ability of an excellent general.

He summoned one thousand households and ten hundred households under him to discuss matters.

You Tianjue said: "Everyone, this battle can no longer be fought like this. If you defend the isolated city, the whole army will be wiped out."

His subordinate Xu Qianhu said: "You can't abandon the city! You will lose your head."

You Tianjue said seriously: "Abandoning the city is the work of cowards. We Yongningwei brothers are all real men. We will live and die with Yongning City."

"It's just that we need to change our style of play."

Xu Qianhu asked: "How to change?"

You Tianjue said: "Attack on the initiative! Night raid on the Japanese camp!"

Xu Qianhu gritted his teeth and said, "Zhen Fu, are you crazy? There are only four hundred brothers who can move. There are five or six thousand Japanese pirates."

"A night attack may lead to the annihilation of the entire army."

You Tianjue smiled slightly: "You think so, and so do the Japanese pirates. They never expected that we would go out of the city to attack at night."

"Soldiers are deceitful. Only surprises can win."

Xu Qianhu said: "Brothers, follow the order of the governor. You let us go east, but we will never go west. You say how to fight, brothers will give up their lives to follow you."

You Tianjue said: "Listen to what I have to say. Remember, we have two purposes for this night raid out of the city. The first purpose is naturally to kill and injure Japanese pirates in large numbers."

"The second purpose is to attract the Japanese pirates' attention and create chaos. Let the women and children in the city escape out of the city at night!"

"Being a soldier eats food, licks blood with the knife head, is loyal to the country, and shrouds the body in horse leather. There is nothing to say about it."

"But we can't let those women, children and their families accompany us to die heroically for our country!"

You Tianjue turned to look at his son You Jingwu: "I will give you the task of escorting the women and children out of the city. You must bring them safely to Jinjiang County."

"I can only give you ten robes. I can't make up more."

You Jingwu said: "Father, I want to go out of the city with you to attack at night. You should leave it to others to escort women and children out of the city!"

You Tianjue drew out the knife and laid it on You Jingwu's neck: "The military order is like a mountain. Anyone who disobeys the military order will be killed without mercy!"

You Jingwu gritted his teeth: "Okay! Father, don't worry, I will definitely take those women and children out of the city safely."

You Tianjue is a hero.

But heroes are not saints.Even saints have selfish motives.

The son he didn't want to see died with him in Yongning City.

In the spring night of the 15th year of Hongzhi, the four hundred warriors of Yongningwei, Fujian each had a spear, a waist knife, and a bowl of wine in their hands.

You Tianjue stood in front of them, holding the wine bowl in both hands: "Brothers, the wind is blowing and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!"

"Dry this bowl of wine. In the next life, I will still be a robe!"

You Tianjue actually knew it well.There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Even if the night attack is successful, it can only buy one or two more days to defend the city.

As long as they can successfully create chaos and cover the escape of women and children, there will be no regrets in this battle.

You Tianjue roared: "Do it!"

Four hundred warriors drank it all in one gulp.

You Tianjue dropped the wine bowl to the ground.Four hundred warriors also threw their wine bowls to the ground one after another, smashing them to pieces.

For 5000 years in China, there are many stories of such generosity and elegy.There are many warriors who look at death like this.

The four major civilizations, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and ancient Babylon, have been annihilated in the long river of history.

Only the Chinese civilization has been passed down to this day.Because China never lacks warriors who sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

Four hundred warriors descended from the city under the cover of night.

Japanese pirates are different from Japanese officials and soldiers. To put it bluntly, they are a group of pirates and robbers.There is no military discipline at all.

It was midnight, and they were all asleep in their tents.The sentinel on duty in the tent also slept like a dead pig while leaning on a bamboo spear.

You Tianjue personally stepped forward and wiped a sentry's neck.Then he waved his hand at his subordinate Pao Ze.

A one-sided massacre began.

Every soldier of the Ming army held a piece of wood in his mouth to prevent him from making any noise.

Countless Japanese pirates had their throats cut by soldiers of the Ming army in their sleep.

But the quiet slaughter didn't last long.The Japanese pirates discovered the Ming army attacking at night.

They yelled: "Tike come donkey (there are enemies)." They fought together with the Ming army.

You Tianjue shouted: "You will receive a reward for killing the enemy and making meritorious service! Brothers, kill!"

The Ming army robes threw the wooden blocks in their mouths, shouted "reward silver, kill!", and fought fiercely with the Japanese pirates.

In the first battle, the Japanese pirates were caught off guard and took advantage of the disadvantages.

But the Ming army was too small.Gradually, Japanese pirates poured out from all directions of the camp, and the Ming army who was attacking at night was about to be surrounded.

You Tianjue made a prompt decision: "Don't be bitten to death by Japanese pirates! Brothers, break out and return to the city!"

Let's say that the Japanese pirate camp has become a mess.You Jingwu secretly opened the west gate, and led the women, children, old and young out of Yongning City.

After walking westward for about ten miles, You Jingwu ordered a small flag under his command: "It should be safe. You take the brothers to protect the women, children and the elderly to Jinjiang County."

Xiao Qi quickly asked: "Then how about the young master caressing you?"

You Jingwu said: "I'm going back to Yongning City! This is a military order, hurry up! Remember, don't stop on the road!"

You Jingwu made his own decision: go back to the city, and live and die with his father and others.

On You Tianjue's side, the night attack team broke out in a bloody battle to the west.In the end, 200 people returned to Yongning City.

This night attack not only killed thousands of enemies, but also burned a large number of siege equipment of the Japanese pirates, and even ignited the gunpowder piles of the Japanese pirates.

Although more than half of the casualties, it can still be called a complete victory.

You Tianjue ordered his subordinate Xu Qianhu to check the number of people.

Xu Qianhu said: "Zhen Fu, there are only two hundred and three brothers left who can change."

You Tianjue gritted his teeth: "Then keep guard for another day. Kill another four hundred and six Japanese pirates!"

"Even if the city is destroyed and you die, let the Japanese pirates understand that you have to pay the price in blood to run rampant in the land of Ming Dynasty!"

A group of robes expressed their opinions one after another: "Yes, a person hangs himself in the sky. Fear of death is not a real man!"

"Kill two for no loss, kill three for blood!"

"Anyway, my wife and children have already left the city. If I die, I can earn a pension for them!"

At this moment, a voice sounded: "It's not two hundred and three people who can move, it's two hundred and four people!"

You Jingwu walked over.

When You Tianjue saw his son, his first reaction was to slap him hard: "Crack!"

You Jingwu was stunned.

You Tianjue was furious: "Didn't I ask you to protect the women and children out of the city?"

You Jingwu said unconvinced: "The women and children have left the city safely and are out of danger. Father, why are you beating me?"

"Crack!" Another big push: "The military order I gave you is for you to send them to Jinjiang County safely!"

"By violating military orders, what kind of Ming soldiers are you?"

You Jingwu's eyes were red: "Father, when Huo Qubing was on his way, he traveled three thousand miles and was sealed off as a wolf!"

"Me too, although I can't become Huo Qubing, I won't be a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Crack!" The third big pussy came one after another.You Jingwu's face was swollen from his father's big fan-like hand.

Xu Qianhu hurriedly said: "Zhenfu, stop beating me."

You Tianjue glared at his son: "When defending the city, you will follow me."

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of defending the city.

After two days of siege of 5000 Japanese pirates and the night attack last night, only [-] people remained.

Of the eight hundred warriors, only two hundred remained.The balance of power is still very different.

Fortunately, during the night attack, most of the Japanese siege equipment was burned, and the gunpowder pile was also blown up.The big tube and the bird gun also went silent.

The Japanese pirates can only rely on the remaining three siege ladders to attack.

The Ming army barely guarded for another day.At sunset, the Japanese pirates stopped attacking the city.

In the entire Yongning City, there were only fifty surviving Ming soldiers left.

You Tianjue's face was covered with blood, his body was covered with wounds, and he was leaning against the city wall with a knife in his hand.A day of desperate fighting has exhausted his strength.

He was so tired that he couldn't even say a word.

You Jingwu was also so tired that he lay sprawled on the ground.

Xu Qianhu suddenly shouted at You Tianjue: "Zhenfu, look!"

I saw more than a dozen Hachiman boats on the beach.Japanese pirate reinforcements have arrived!Numerous siege ladders and gunpowder barrels were transported ashore.

You Tianjue sighed: "Tonight is the only time to break the city and die for the country."

According to the reward offered by the big boss of the smuggling sea merchant, a living You Tianjue is worth more than a dead You Tianjue.

A Japanese pirate came to the city on horseback.

The Japanese pirates actually have a Fujian accent.This person is a fake Japanese.

The fake Japanese shouted: "General You, in half an hour, we will set up the siege ladder and attack Ladi again. You can't hold Ladi!"

"Sensible, surrender quickly. We will protect you from death!"

Xu Qianhu picked up a bow and aimed at the fake Japanese under the city.

But You Tianjue stopped Xu Qianhu: "When the two countries fight each other, don't behead envoys. This is the rule of our Han family."

Then You Tianjue yelled something loud and loud towards the fake Japanese.

"Listen to the pirates! This is the land of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are responsible for guarding the land!"

"Win or die, there is no third way!"

After hearing this, the Japanese pirates rode away.

You Tianjue said: "The Japanese pirates said that they would attack the city in half an hour. They are probably not lying. We only have so few people left. There is no need for them to resort to any tricks."

"Brothers. After tonight, we will meet again at the Martyrs' Shrine!"

The few dozen remaining Paoze had gone through three days of bloody battle, and they had long put life and death aside.

They expressed their opinions one after another: "If you enter the Martyrs' Shrine, you will be able to receive incense forever! This life is not in vain!"

"I killed more than [-] Japanese pirates in three days. I have already made a lot of money! I have brothers on the road to Huangquan. It's wonderful!"

"I'll kill a few more Japanese pirates one time. Earn more money. If I go to heaven, I'm worthy of my ancestor! My ancestor traveled to Fujian with Hu Meiping, General Zhengnan!"

You Tianjue said: "Okay. Brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"You Jingwu, follow me to the south wall."

it's getting dark.The Japanese pirates set up siege ladders and prepared to attack the city overnight.

You Tianjue led You Jingwu to the south city wall.

You Jingwu asked: "Father, what did you bring me here for?"

You Tianjue picked up a rope from the ground.Without saying a word, he tied the rope around his son's waist.Then he tied the other end to the battlement.

You Jingwu shouted: "Father, do you still want me to be a deserter?"

Sometimes, the heart of loving a child is not contradictory to the ambition of being a hero.It is the instinct of human beings to protect their sons from a father.

You Tianjue said something recorded in history: "Those who try their best to guard are loyal, and those who sacrifice everything are filial. I am willing to be a loyal minister, and I am also willing to be a filial son. I will have no regrets in this life."

After saying this, You Tianjue kicked his son off the city wall.
Half an hour later, the Japanese pirates' final offensive began!

You Tianjue gathered all the surviving brothers in the east wall.With iron and blood, doing the final desperate struggle.

Qi said without clothes?Go with the child.Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.Have hatred with the son!
An hour later, the leader of the pirates finally boarded the walls of Yongning City.

The Japanese pirates took a portrait for comparison and found You Tianjue's body.

You Tianjue's body was tightly hugging the body of a Japanese pirate.His teeth firmly bit the Japanese pirate's throat.

It took a lot of effort for the Japanese pirates to separate the bodies of the two.

The leader of the Japanese pirates said with emotion: "Kaliwa (he is) Guan Yunchang."

Wa country is the sewer of earth civilization and lacks literature and art.Since the introduction of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the early Ming Dynasty, it has become the most widely circulated book in the country.

Those so-called "famous generals" in the Wa Kingdom even regarded "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the art of war.

Guan Yunchang is not only a hero admired by the Chinese, but also a hero admired by the Japanese.

Of course, whether these beasts on the ceiling of human morality are worthy of admiring Guan Yunchang is open to question.

The leader of the pirates commented that You Tianjue was Guan Yunchang, and he was right.

In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of heroes like Guan Yunchang.In other words, when the country is in dire straits, every son and daughter of China is Guan Yunchang.

This is the fundamental reason why this nation has survived for 5000 years.

The battle of Yongning is over.

When the reinforcements arrived at Yongning, the Japanese pirates had already evacuated with You Tianjue's body.

You Jingwu was lucky.After leaving the city, he took advantage of the night to escape.

It was because of You Jingwu's narrow escape that Fujian governor Liu Cheng'an learned the details of the battle to defend the city of Yongning.

Half a month later, Liu Chengan's military report arrived at the Ministry of War.

"The minister Liu Cheng'an cried blood. On the third day of March in the 15th year of Hongzhi, Japanese pirates gathered tens of thousands of horses to besiege the six cities of Yongning, Fuquan, Jinmen, Zhongzuo, Gaopu, and Chongwu. The main attack was Yongning Acropolis."

"You Tianjue, governor of Yongning Town, led the soldiers to defend with all their strength, arranged soldiers to defend day and night in shifts, and personally led hundreds of elites to patrol the four gates. If there is a police on one side, they will rush to rescue them."

"At night, he led his troops out of the city to break through the siege, and killed countless enemies."

"In the end, due to being outnumbered, the city was destroyed, the entire army of Yongningwei was wiped out, and Tianjue died for his country."

"Before Tianjue died for his country, he ordered his son Jingwu to leave the city. He said: Those who try their best to defend are loyal, and those who sacrifice everything are filial. I would like to be a loyal minister, and I also want you to be a filial son. Don't give me any regrets."

Beijing Suburb Royal Garden.

Chang Feng still doesn't know the news of his deceased more than ten years ago.

He was riding and shooting with Prince Zhu Houzhao.

Chang Feng is 37 years old.Seventeen years have passed since the crisis-ridden autumn night in the 22nd year of Chenghua.

Today's Chang Feng is no longer the high-spirited 20-year-old youth.

Seeing is a person who is about to enter the age of forty.

Don't talk about himself.His son, Chang Ponu, has turned 16 this year, and he is already an extraordinary handsome young man.

Prince Zhu Houzhao was 11 years old, and he no longer rode a mule, but a donkey instead.

Chang Ponu and Zhu Houzhao get along day and night, so good that they only need to wear a pair of trousers.

Emperor Hongzhi found Zhu Houzhao a group of great Confucians headed by Li Dongyang as teachers to teach him Confucianism.But he didn't find a general to teach him how to ride and shoot.

This is not difficult for Zhu Houzhao.Zhu Houzhao went to ask his mother, Queen Zhang, to find him an excellent riding and archery gentleman, who was still a woman.

This female gentleman is none other than Chang Feng's wife and Empress Zhang's righteous sister--Liu Xiaoyan.

Liu Xiaoyan is no longer the slim girl she was back then.At the same age as Chang Feng, her body gained weight every year. If it sounds good, it is called round and smooth, and if it is not good, it is called bloated.

However, Chang Feng has a soft spot for her white body.

Although her weight has increased, Liu Xiaoyan's riding and shooting skills have not diminished in the slightest.

For more than ten years, she practiced arrows to kill time when she had nothing to do at home.Archery is getting better and better.

Of course, after being married to Chang Feng for 17 years, her [-]-way kicking kung fu on the bed has also become more perfect.

Liu Xiaoyan was wearing men's clothes and riding on a horse.A hundred steps away, a hare ran past.

Liu Xiaoyan took the bow and pulled the string, and the arrow clusters shot out "swoosh" and "pop"!Right in the middle of the hare.

Zhu Houzhao is the girl's little fan, and shouted: "Aunt Huang is amazing! Aunt Huang is invincible in the world with arrows!"

Liu Xiaoyan is Empress Zhang's righteous sister, so Zhu Houzhao always called her "Emperor Aunt".

Chang Ponu also hurriedly patted his mother's ass: "Mother walks through Yang with a hundred steps, she is like Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu in this world!"

Liu Xiaoyan said, "Don't rush to praise me. Your Highness, remember, in archery, you must predict the enemy first. You can't just shoot the target dead."

"On the battlefield, the enemy is alive, and so is the horse."

Zhu Houzhao nodded hurriedly: "I remember Aunt Huang."

Chang Feng looked at Zhu Houzhao and others from a distance, but did not step forward.His mission today is to protect His Highness the Crown Prince.

Not only Liu Jin and Li Dongyang understand that serving a good prince is the greatest future, Chang Feng also understands.

In the past three years, he has consciously approached the prince.Among other things, it is always right to look familiar in front of the future Ming emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi's health was getting worse and worse. Although the officials in the capital never said it clearly, they knew it in their hearts.

Many officials began to curry favor with the 11-year-old prince Zhu Houzhao.

Everyone has the same mentality: only by currying favor with the future emperor of Ming Dynasty can the future be guaranteed.

In this regard, the Chang family can be said to have the advantage of being close to the water.

Let's say that hunting is approaching noon.A big Han general came up to Zhu Houzhao on his horse, and then got off his horse and knelt down: "Your Highness, Mr. Li asked you to go back to the palace and prepare for the noon class."

Zhu Houzhao's brows were frowned: "Mr. Li is like a ghost."

Even so, he could only obey Li Dongyang.He was afraid that Li Dongyang would go to Qianqing Palace again and say something wrong about him in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

In his heart, the young Zhu Houzhao hated his husband Li Dongyang so much that his teeth itch.

The cabinet formed by Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian has been very powerful in the past three years.

Emperor Hongzhi was weak and sick, and many government affairs could only be handled by the three cabinet elders for him.

Behind the cabinet is the entire civil society, and behind the civil society is the entire scholarly society.

The strength of the cabinet has caused the group of civil servants to become more and more uncontrollable.

For the past three years, although Chang Feng has fought for power for the factory guard, he has not been able to go against the general trend of the court.

In addition, Jin Yiwei's official commander, Mu Bin, is a kind person.Kindness is sometimes another way of saying weakness.

The power of the factory guard still exists, but it is far less than that of the Chenghua Dynasty.

After the shooting, Chang Feng, his wife and son returned to the mansion.

The Chang family is still the same people, without any additions.

Liu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Ninth's stomachs, no matter how hard Chang Feng tried to heal, they just couldn't give birth to a son and a half.

Taoist Zhang made a fortune to Chang Feng, saying that Chang Feng only had his only son.

Chang Feng also accepted his fate.No more concubines.Of course, occasionally going to Yihonglou to release water is also possible.

I am eating.A person came to Changfu.

This person is Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Zuochunfang University.

Yang Tinghe has been promoted step by step in these years.

The elders of the three cabinets are very optimistic about him and think highly of him.A few years ago, Li Dongyang recommended to Emperor Hongzhi that Yang Tinghe was in charge of editing the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

Half a month ago, the "Da Ming Huidian" was completed, and Yang Tinghe was promoted to Zuo Chunfang Bachelor for his merit.

If the Minister of Rites is only one step away from entering the cabinet, then the Zuo Chunfang University scholar is only half a step away from entering the cabinet.

Yang Tinghe was only 43 years old.It can be said that the future is boundless and the future is bright.

Yang Tinghe came to Chang Feng with a sad expression on his face.

Chang Feng asked: "What's going on, Bachelor Yang? Which relative or friend in the family has passed away?"

Yang Tinghe took out a Bingbutang newspaper from his sleeve: "Brother Chang, You Tianjue died for the country!"

Chang Feng, Yang Tinghe, and You Tianjue lived and died together when offering sacrifices to Mazu in the south, and fought against Japanese pirates on the walls of Yongning City.

Hearing the news, Chang Feng couldn't believe his ears: "Who do you say died for the country?"

Yang Tinghe repeated: "You Tianjue died for the country."

Chang Feng hastily opened the pond newspaper of the Ministry of War. After reading the battle of Yongning, he fell down on the chair with a "thump".

Yang Tinghe said: "I plan to hand over the memorial to the emperor. I ask the emperor to grant you the title of hereditary conductor You Jingwu, the widow of Brother Feng Tianjue. Please join me."

Chang Feng sighed: "Successful."

Yang Tinghe said again: "Fujian Governor Liu Cheng'an admired Brother Tianjue very much. After Brother Tianjue died in his country, Liu Cheng'an sent troops from various ministries in Fujian like crazy, and took the initiative to find Japanese pirates to fight. But the results were very little."

Chang Feng said: "Brother Tianjue died for the country, I will take care of his son. After the emperor's permission, You Jingwu will be given the title of commander and let him go to Beijing. Go to Jinyiwei to make up for a thousand households."

Yang Tinghe said: "This is the best."

Chang Feng suddenly cursed: "The Tang newspaper said that it was the Japanese pirates who attacked Yongning, and the culprit also fled back to the Japanese country."

"Oh, whether the culprit is a Japanese or a Ming, only God knows!"

Fifteen years ago, Chang Fengnan paid homage to Mazu and learned of the existence of the smuggling maritime group "Sihaihui".

Since Emperor Hongzhi had just ascended the throne at that time, there could be no chaos in the southeast.Chang Feng had no choice but to kill a group of cats and dogs from the Universal Society to vent his anger, and didn't get to the bottom of it.

Yang Tinghe also knew a thing or two about the smuggling situation along the coast of Daming.Many smugglers are actually the white gloves of Beijing and Chinese officials.

He smiled awkwardly: "The culprit is so insane, it must be the Japanese. The Japanese have always been no different from animals."

Chang Feng said: "That's all. What about the memorial requesting for the hereditary military position? Give it to me, and I will sign it."

After sending Yang Tinghe away, Chang Feng tried his best to recall You Tianjue's appearance.It has been 15 years since Yongning left, and he can't remember You Tianjue's appearance.

He could only have someone engrave You Tianjue's god tablet, and put a few sticks of incense on him to pay homage to him.

　I know, I know, 700 words short.Make it up tomorrow.
