Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 164 Sign in again and get generous rewards!
Just as Zhu Youtang was frowning in thought, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ding! We have found items that can be signed in. Do you want to sign in?"

Zhu Youtang was overjoyed and quickly signed in silently in his mind.

"Ding! Sign in successfully, reward: Complete map of Annan!"

As the system's voice sounded, the Annan documents in Zhu Youtang's hands underwent miraculous changes.

The map above changes on its own, and the writing is clear and the data is very accurate.

It can be said that with this map, you can go directly to the bedroom of the current King of Annan, Li Hao.

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the surprises given by the system were not over yet.

"Ding! In reward for the blessing of our ancestors, all Ming soldiers will not suffer from any acclimatization problems after entering the Annan territory, nor will they be affected by snake, insect and miasma."

The smile on Zhu Youtang's face became even wider. With this blessing from his ancestors, for the Ming army entering Annan would be like returning home, right?

Moreover, Annan has been the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. When the Ming army goes to Annan, isn’t it just returning to their home?

Zhu Youtang put away the old documents from Annan with satisfaction and began to deal with other memorials.

……

Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Aksu City.

After waiting patiently for a long time, Xu Chang finally received Zhu Youtang's order.

The edict not only recorded Zhu Youtang's request for counties and prefectures, but also ordered Xu Chang to pass through the outside of the Great Wall and enter the Great Wall from Xuanfu before returning to the court.

The most important point was that he agreed to Bolohan's request to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Along with the imperial edict came the customs document allowing the Oirat to pay tribute.

When Xu Chang told Borokhan the news, Borokhan, who had been waiting for several days, even shed tears of excitement.

With trembling hands, he took the customs clearance document handed to him by Xu Chang.

Then he held up the customs document, faced the direction of the capital, knelt down and saluted: "The Oirat clan kowtows to thank the Ming emperor for his great grace!"

"The Oirat generals will live up to the Ming Emperor's kindness and will be loyal to His Majesty for generations!"

Only Bolohan knew how difficult it was for the Oirat to survive on the grassland after losing the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Ever since Yesen was forced to break away from Toghtobukha and proclaimed himself Khan, they have been targeted by the Golden Family across the entire grassland.

No matter which member of the Golden Family led the tribe, as soon as they saw the Wala tribe, they would launch a fierce attack.

They were forced to move westward and almost retreated to Central Asia.

Since Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire, the Khan on the grassland could only be a member of the Golden Family.

His grandfather Yesen was the first and only non-Golden Family member to be called Khan in the entire grassland since Genghis Khan.

In addition, the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty was still in Yesen's hands, so the Golden Family on the grassland hated Yesen's Wala tribe to death and wanted to kill all of them.

And these members of the Golden Family did indeed do it.

Today, the living environment of their Wala tribe on the grassland is extremely poor, and they may be exterminated by other golden families at any time.

Historically, there is no record of Yesen's Oirat tribe after they moved westward during the Jingtai period.

It’s just said that the Oirat finally split into four major tribes, and the most famous one was called the Dzungar tribe!

The Dzungar tribe continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty until the demise of the Ming Dynasty, from Kangxi to Qianlong, a full seventy years!
Now, Zhu Youtang agreed to Boluohan's request for tribute, which undoubtedly gave Boluohan a glimmer of hope of survival in despair.

So Boluohan was extremely excited. After kneeling, he immediately asked for his resignation from Xu Chang: "Governor Xu, thank you for your care over the past few days. His Majesty the Emperor has allowed our people to come to the capital to pay tribute."

"I will return to my tribe immediately and prepare tribute to your majesty."

"Governor Xu, we're done!"

Xu Chang patted Borohan on the shoulder and said, "Then we'll see each other again if we're lucky."

"Your Majesty is also summoning me back to the capital. Perhaps we will meet again soon."

"Yes, Governor Xu!"

Boluohan excitedly took his people away, and Xu Chang was also organizing the Ming army and returning to the capital.

What neither of them expected was that Xu Chang's words came true.

The two of them really met again in a short time in the future.

Xu Chang and Boluohan parted on the grassland, but in Anlu, thousands of miles away, Wang Zhi had a long-awaited reunion.

Ezhou.

De'an Prefecture.

Anlu County.

Wang Zhi's horse stopped at the foot of a rock. There was a small house under the rock, and the sound of reading could be heard from the house.

Hearing the familiar voice of an old friend, Wang Zhi's calm face also showed a little emotion.

Wang Zhi took a few quick steps, and suddenly a child came out of the house. When he saw Wang Zhi and others, he immediately felt as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"

The child was no more than six or seven years old. When he saw Wang Zhi and the others from the Western Factory, he did not panic. Instead, he stopped them and shouted at them.

Wang Zhi admired the boy's courage in his heart. When he was about to answer, the sound of reading in the house suddenly disappeared, and then a strong voice was heard.

"Xin'er, who's outside?"

Having said that, Wang Yue walked out of the room.

After seeing Wang Zhi, Wang Yue was stunned, then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, it turns out to be Brother Wang Zhi, it's been a long time!"

Wang Zhi also felt quite emotional: "It has been almost seven years since the 19th year of Chenghua."

"Seven years, it really just flies by in the blink of an eye!"

Wang Yue also felt quite emotional.

Wang Zhi looked at the child again and asked, "Who is this..."

"Oh, that's my youngest son, Wang Xin." "You've already met my eldest son, Wang Chun, and my second son, Wang Shi, but you haven't met this one yet."

Wang Yue took Wang Xin's hand and said, "Xin'er, call Uncle Wang quickly."

"Uncle Wang." Wang Xin called out openly, without any shyness on his face.

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "No wonder he looks like an old friend. It turns out he is the son of an old friend."

“Hahaha!” Wang Yue laughed happily: “Brother Wang, come in and sit down!”

"I have some good wine in my collection. We won't go home until we are drunk today!"

"By the way, I wrote a lot of poems today. I'd like to invite you to appreciate them while we eat later!"

In the second year of the Jingtai reign, Wang Yue was able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi despite being a northerner, so his literary level was naturally good.

Wang Yue's poems can be traced back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and his articles can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. His poems and essays have formed their own style and were highly praised in the Ming Dynasty.

It had a great influence on the early and late Seven Masters of the Ming Dynasty, especially the literature of Gong'an and Jingling.

An idiom to summarize Wang Yue is "talented in both civil and military affairs".

Wang Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Brother Wang, you know that I only know how to kill people and I know nothing about poetry."

"This wine should be drunk, but not here."

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, his face straightened and he took out Zhu Youtang's imperial edict.

"Wang Yue, listen to my orders!"

Wang Yue's whole body trembled violently, his face full of disbelief.

Then he quickly pulled Wang Xin beside him and knelt down together to listen to his orders.

"Summon Wang Yue to return to the capital immediately and have an audience with the emperor in the palace!"

The imperial edict was very short, simply asking Wang Yue to come to the palace for an audience, without mentioning any other matters.

But it is not difficult to guess that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to re-employ Wang Yue.

Wang Yue waited for this day for seven years!

Wang Yue was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. He responded with a trembling voice: "Your humble servant Wang Yue, I will obey the imperial edict!"

Wang Yue took the imperial edict and felt a sense of relief that his injustice had been vindicated.

"Your Majesty summoned me to the capital. Could it be that he saw those letters of complaint I wrote?"

Wang Zhi shook his head, his face becoming serious: "It is Annan who has violated the border. His Majesty wants you to lead the army to the county Annan!"

"County Annan?!"

Wang Yue was startled, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's time to deal with those traitors from the Annan Li Clan!"

"If Yu Zijun hadn't stopped us, and the traitor Liu Daxia hadn't hidden the map, we would have conquered Pingnan nine years ago!"

"Why did we have to wait until now to fight this battle?!"

Wang Zhi sighed, which was rare: "What's the point of talking about this now?"

"Pack your things quickly and follow me to the capital to see the emperor!"

"Yes! Enter the capital as soon as possible!"

A gleam of light flashed in Wang Yue's eyes. He asked his family to pack up as quickly as possible, and then followed Wang Zhi to Beijing to meet the emperor!
At the same time, Yu Shen's brother-in-law Yang Qing had also arrived in Xuanfu.

Xuanfu is less than 400 miles away from the capital, and a slightly better horse can travel 400 to 600 miles a day.

So if you travel fast from Xuanfu to the capital, you can reach the destination in one day.

Tumu Fort is located in the middle of the capital and Xuanfu, just over 200 miles away from the capital and only over 100 miles away from Xuanfu.

As soon as the city gates opened in the morning, Yang Qing set out from the capital.

By midnight, Yang Qing was already at the gate of Xuanfu city.

According to the rules, when you arrive in Xuanfu, you should knock on the door first.

"Open the gate! Open the city gate quickly!"

Yang Qing's knocking at the door soon alarmed the soldiers guarding Xuanfu.

Seeing that it was Yang Qing, the younger brother of Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu, the soldiers of Xuanfu hurriedly opened the city gate and allowed Yang Qing to enter Xuanfu.

After Yang Qing entered the Xuanfu city gate, he went straight to the Xuanfu garrison camp and announced that he wanted to see his brother Yang Tong.

After Yang Tong received the news, even though he had already fallen asleep, he put on his clothes, lit a lamp, and let Yang Qing into his tent.

When Yang Qing entered the tent, he found that in addition to Yang Tong, there was also Zhou Hongyi, the deputy general of Xuanfu.

"How is the situation in the capital?"

"Your Majesty, are you still obsessed with the number of munitions in the border town?"

As soon as he saw Yang Qing, Yang Tong asked anxiously.

Ever since Zhu Youtang checked the accounts of the three ministries of household, military and industry in the capital and put Xu Pu and Liu Daxia in jail, Yang Tong has not had a good night's sleep.

And Yang Qing is an important channel for him to obtain intelligence in the capital, so he is so anxious.

And Yang Qing did not disappoint Yang Tong and indeed brought good news.

"Brother, those people in Jiangnan took action. Xu Pu and Liu Daxia came out safely. His Majesty also ordered the East Factory to stop the investigation."

"call……"

Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and his long-anxious heart finally calmed down.

"That's good."

"Yes, but..."

Yang Qing looked at Yang Tong, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Yang Tong looked at Yang Qing's hesitation and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He frowned and urged anxiously: "But what?! Tell me quickly!"
