Chapter 411: Picking Chrysanthemums under the Eastern Fence

Just as Chen Rongxian thought, Gizba’s method was not clever.

And this unscrupulous method was not originally intended for the Ming army, but to deceive the Zasak people.

After many operations of Junggar, there are now two forces in the Zhasak Khanate. Among them, Zhasak Khan Wulimu is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, while his younger brother Huzhiyi is rebellious.

The day before Gizba attacked the Kushu Fort, he had already wiped out more than a dozen tribes of Zasak, and tens of thousands of people were killed by his cruel methods, which was a sign that the Ming army was taking action.

In the end, they found the Kushu Fort and entered the palace, and made it the result of the revenge of the Zasak people, in order to deepen the blood feud between the two sides and strengthen the "anti-Ming" forces in Zasak.

As Chen Rongxian arrived at Yongning Fort and gave instructions to Sun Shaozu, the Yongning Guards officially sent troops north to kill the enemy.

More than a dozen tribes near Kushu Fort were killed. This made Sun Shaozu a lot easier. He ordered his cronies to cut off more than a thousand heads and bring them back as a tribute to the military exploits of the Kushu Fort defenders. .

Wu Changhui planned to kill 1,500 enemies by the Kushu Fort defenders. This number was similar to the actual situation. In a sense, he was not lying.

However, the behavior of beheading the Ming army just proved that they were killing the herdsmen, which was equivalent to doing Gizba a great favor.

At this moment, on the throne, listening to his ministers expressing their opinions, Zhu Xianming felt very regretful.

"I will pass the decree to Wu Changhui again. After the settlement of the Anxi trip to the capital, he will immediately return to Beijing to report on his work."

"What do you think?"

Now objectively The problem is that Zhasak's country is full of hatred for the Ming Dynasty, and Wulimu is showing signs of being unable to suppress it.

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's emotion outside, Baochai came out of the house wearing an apron and said sarcastically, "If the prince really relies on farming to make a living, I'm afraid he won't be able to relax anymore."

As the eunuch who delivered the decree finished reading the last two words, everyone in the Wang family present paid homage to express their gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness.

According to the news from Nanzhen Fusi, voices of rebellion against the imperial court are also on the rise in Tushetu and Briya Khanate.

Baoyu had wild thoughts, and soon two hours passed and the sun set.

"When will brother leave?"

Today is his turn to take a rest, and he needs to welcome guests, so Wang Xingchang will stay in the house.

"Why are you eating noodles again?"

"Brother Thirteen, I heard the eunuchs passing by say that there is going to be a war in the northwest." Zhu Jingchun couldn't help but speak.

At night, after washing up, Zhu Jinghong lay on the bed first.

After saying that, she turned around and went into the house. After Zhu Jinghong shook his head, he picked up the scissors and started to build his sapling.

"I hope so" Baochai sighed.

"In addition, you must also try your best to repair the relationship with Princess Xiang."

But at this time, he mustHe acted calmer, so he planted flowers and trees, but he still complained every day.

It is absolutely a big deal that the Zasak people dare to attack the imperial court.

In order to deal with the chaos in the northwest, all the ministries of the imperial court were busy, so much so that even the atmosphere in the capital became much depressed.

The situation in the northwest changed suddenly, and it seemed that the Junggar people were the first to take action. This actually did not surprise the generals.

The northwest was originally a powder keg, but now that Junggar is stirring it up, there is an immediate tendency to cause chaos in the northwest, which makes Zhu Xianming particularly angry.

Originally, he thought that he could increase grain production by relying on certain knowledge from his previous life, and grow auspicious crops here, but after actual operation, he found that it was basically impossible.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "The old man asked me to farm. His original intention was to let me work until June next year, but now that the current situation has changed, I am afraid that he will change his mind."

Half an hour later, as night fell and the cold wind howled, Zhu Jingchun returned to the courtyard with their hands in their hands.

In the comparison of these military and national events, how many enemy troops the defenders of Kushu Fort killed is a matter of no small importance.

At the end of the Caiting meeting, Zhu Xianming took the initiative to say for the first time, "Wu Changhui is no longer qualified for his job, and I plan to let Wang Ziteng replace him."

Not to mention the excitement in the Jia family, Let's say that Jia Zheng and his son went to the Wang family, and then they learned that Prince Teng had gone to the palace to express his gratitude.

Back at their residence, the two people first put away their farm tools, then washed their hands and changed their clothes.

At this time, Jia Zheng replied, "Recently, I have strictly controlled him, and he has calmed down a lot, otherwise he would not be able to sit still."

During this period, Zhu Jinghong often talked to the North Four Guards He communicated with people and knew more about the external situation, so Zhu Jingchun asked him.

She first urged Jia Zheng and Baoyu to go to the Wang family to congratulate them, and then organized a banquet in the mansion, appearing even happier than the Wang family.

Wang Ziteng forced a smile, and then sighed.

In fact, no one would have objected to this matter. The emperor had absolute authority anyway, and the so-called nobles only played the role of workers.

Zhu Jinghong did not answer the question and asked, "Princess, what shall we eat tonight?"

"Eat noodles"

Enter the palace today to have a chat with the emperor After the conversation, he was assigned various tasks and goals, and the pressure to fulfill them was extremely high.

After taking a sip of hot tea and feeling a little warmer, Wang Ziteng just replied, "I will go to the camp to deliver the goods tomorrow, and I will leave for Jingning City the day after tomorrow."

Taking off his official hat , Wang Ziteng asked, "When did you come?"

Faced with his father's contempt, Baoyu had no intention of defending himself. Now he only hoped to go home early and return to his clean little yard. .

Since I am here to congratulate you, I naturally have to meet the rightful owner., so the father and son stayed temporarily, with the younger members of the Wang family accompanying them to talk.

The third is that the imperial officers and soldiers must prepare for war, especially the Gansu governor, who must take strict precautions to prevent Junggar from entering the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the emperor ordered Wang Ziteng, although the "Donghuamen Heroes" present were reluctant, none of them came out to object.

It was already the middle of winter, and the cold wind was howling outside, but the two of them hugged each other so they didn't feel cold.

It sounds like only three plans, but they involve very detailed plans, which will be executed by the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

In addition to the continuous reports from the Anxi Xingdu Division, the Nanzhen Fu Division also received news every day, allowing Zhu Xianming to have a detailed grasp of the situation in the northwest.

"I will do my best to stabilize the northwest for the Holy One," Prince Teng replied solemnly.

Only when he was in the army, Wang Ziteng understood better than others how important it was to win over Zhu Jinghong for the prince.

When he warmed the bed, Baochai had just finished washing, took off her coat and skirt and got into his arms, and then Zhu Jinghong blew out the candle.

"Now that the Crown Princess is in charge of the East Palace, you have to take care of the house and stop causing trouble for her. I shouldn't have said these things, so don't think I'm too talkative."

In the Qianqing Palace, senior officials from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office were summoned to analyze the situation in the northwest.

Hearing Zhu Jinghong’s complaint, Baochai immediately said, “Do you like to eat it or not?”

Wang Xifeng was specifically responsible for organizing the banquet. Because of this, she was scorned by Mrs. Xing again. This time Wang Xifeng became much more stubborn.

Several tribes and alliances are "our own people", so the money and food allocated by the court will be less, so naturally the three khanates will have more.

However, everything in the outside world has little impact on Zhu Jinghong of Shanglinyuan. At this moment, he is watering a small tree in the yard.

If you want to move forward at the level of Governor General, you must have a resume as a Governor, so last year many people were eyeing this position.

As for the Jia family, after learning that the prince was released, Mrs. Wang was the happiest person.

"The Master is back"

But now something happened in the northwest, and the position of the Commander-in-Chief of Anxi Province has become a powder keg. Taking up the post at this moment makes Wang Ziteng feel particularly complicated.

Zhu Jinghao then asked, "Is there going to be a war?"

"It was so hasty." Jia Zheng was a little surprised.

"It's time to eat," Baochai shouted.

"Brother is finally back." Jia Zheng stepped forward to welcome him and told Baoyu to pay tribute.

When thinking of this incident, Wang Ziteng felt helpless, but as a military commander, it was hard for him to say anything. Today, he really couldn't bear it before he spoke.

It is no secret that the emperor is dissatisfied with Wu Changhui. He has announced that he will be replaced since last year. At that time, Wang Ziteng was the popular candidate to succeed him.

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "When I learned that my brother had been promoted, I brought Baoyu over and made a special trip.Congratulations to my brother"

"Although I haven't read many books, I still have some skills in training soldiers and horses. Because I am trapped here, the training of the Northern Four Guards has been greatly restricted."

The imperial court is basically only responsible for ordnance, and the money and food for these three guards are negotiated on the spot. , composed of three khanates and several alliances.

On October 24, the Kushubao battle report arrived in Beijing from Anxi Xingdusi, which instantly caused a stir in the court.

Everything is good if you do well in office, but if something goes wrong like Wu Changhui, not only will you forget about promotion, but you will be lucky to avoid being demoted.

Although it is a noble family. Everyone has their own interests and tendencies, but the special relationship between Wang Ziteng and the prince still made Zhu Jinghong think more.

“It’s no wonder that I can leisurely see the carefree pastoral life in Nanshan while picking chrysanthemums under the east fence. Tao Yuanming is obsessed with this."

Several generals from the Northern Four Guards rushed over and discussed some training matters with Zhu Jinghong, and also talked about some major events in the DPRK.

"Then The Ministry of War immediately drafted an order for Wang Ziteng to take office as soon as possible," Zhu Xianming said solemnly.

While Zhu Jinghong was talking to the generals, the outer hall of the Wang family was already full of people, and Wang Ziteng himself was kneeling at the end. Ahead, we are listening to His Majesty the Emperor’s imperial decree.

“The situation in the northwest is turbulent. Time waits for us not to wait,” Wang Ziteng said with emotion.

A few days passed, and more and more news came. After the news came back, the government and the public started talking more about this matter.

"How can you see it?" Baochai said softly, "You have no time to plant trees, that's not the case. We’re about to go out”

It was this pressure that made Wang Ziteng unable to be happy at all, and he had no feeling for Jia Zheng’s congratulations.

Playing with Baochai’s Hair, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile, "Why do you think that if I plant a tree, it means I am about to go out?"

But the behavior of the people in Junggar was just to throw a torch into the dry wood, igniting this fierce public opinion. .

Now that Mrs. Wang's status in the palace is gradually rising, as her niece, Wang Xifeng has begun to seek refuge with her, so it is inevitable to alienate her mother-in-law.

After taking a sip of noodles, Zhu Jinghong said calmly. "You just plant the land well, what does this have to do with you?"

"I guess we are going out soon"

The situation in the northwest has suddenly changed to where it is today, Wu Changhui and Sun Shaozu They are all key figures, so Zhu Xianming naturally wanted to call them back to ask for explanations.

"Brother, that's right," Jia Zheng replied very modestly.

His niece became the Princess of Xiang. The Crown Princess happened to be a cousin, and the union between the Crown Prince and Prince Xiang was a natural fit, but such a good thing was disturbed by his stupid sister.

He is the eldest son of Prince Teng, and he is now twenty-five years old. Years old, he was released from the Dragon Imperial Guard two years ago, and now serves as a member of the Sixth Rank of the Imperial Guard.

“The old man is not confused about important matters.I think they will let me out before next year."

Hearing the report, everyone in the room stood up to greet them.

The commander-in-chief of the Xingdu Division is a general who commands an army. Naturally, he had to express his solemnity with the imperial decree.

"I appreciate this"

After Wang Ziteng and others thanked him, the eunuch who passed the decree handed the imperial decree into his hands, and then said, "General Wang." Officer, oh no, the king is envoy, the Lord has great faith in you, please don’t let down the holy will.”

The two fell asleep after some tossing, and the next day soon came.

p>

After a while, Wang Ziteng appeared outside the living room, with snowflakes still on his body. Immediately, the servants came forward to pat him.

Because everyone knew that the Junggar people were in trouble. After years of preparing for war, it was extremely unlikely to bring him into the tribute and canonization system.

The second is to send personnel to the three northwest khanates to show them the court's determination to investigate the matter strictly. , and at the same time declare the benevolence of the court, which is the most likely way to bring these khanates back to the camp.

"And let the commander of Yongning Guard come back together."

The court meeting was halfway through. At this time, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office gave three suggestions respectively.

In fact, he was not completely ignorant of the changes in the external situation. Now the sudden change in the northwest made him very excited, knowing that he was "out of isolation". The time may be coming.

"Thank you for the advice, father-in-law."

Wang Xingchang continued, "Now that Brother Lian has joined the Dragon Guard, the future is bright, and Brother Bao is as good as a literary star. You should also work hard to study and get the first prize in the Jinshi examination as soon as possible."

Although there were many people who came to the Wang family to congratulate them, they all left one after another by this time. Only Jia Zheng and his son and Wang Xingchang accompanied them. .

But then he thought that this royal envoy also had a relationship with him, and he might be able to use it in the future.

So now he just put it aside. All the farm work was left to Zhu Jingchun, so that he rarely even went to the wheat field.

There was Xiren's care, Qingwen to laugh and play, and Sheyue's attentiveness. Take care

When summoned by the emperor before taking office, he will definitely ask Wang Ziteng for his opinion on the situation. These indeed require careful preparation.

There are only a few people who are qualified to take over as Anxi Xingdusi, but now. I'm afraid there is no one who is willing to take over this mess.

"I don't know, I just guessed" Baochai didn't want to say anything.

It was a bitter experience. Haha, the court also levies heavy taxes every year. It is normal for the three northwest khanates to object.

But this is purely Zhu Xianming's overthinking. The fundamental reason why Zhasak and other countries are opposed is because of the Ming Dynasty. Squeeze it.

After a few breaths, the four of them sat together, with a bowl of noodles in front of each table, and three stacks of side dishes placed in the middle. This seems stupid, but Wang Xifeng has nothing to do. After all, the situation is changing.

All the defenders of Kushu Fort were killed in the battle, and all the surrounding tribes were killed. What is wrong with it?No one can tell the inside story clearly.

He believes that if Wu Changhui had been replaced earlier, such a thing would probably not have happened.

All the officials of "His Majesty Fu Wei" paid homage.

"What's wrong with Baoyu? She wasn't so temperamental in the past." Wang Xingchang asked with a smile.

"Comply with the decree"

With just one word from the emperor, the military power of the generals who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers was taken away, which shows how high the imperial power is now.

Since the last time he made rude remarks, Jia Baoyu has become much calmer now. During this period, he only said a few words when asked.

After nearly two months of discussion, the two of them have obviously become much calmer, and are no longer as out of control as usual.

You must know that the Northwest Xingdu Division has three guard posts directly under its jurisdiction, with a total of 15,000 recruited soldiers. It is a very large expense to maintain the high treatment of these people.

“He has little knowledge now, and he is afraid that he will not even be admitted as a student. It is too early to talk about the scientific examination now.”

First, send personnel to the northwest ministries and alliances to appease them; In this way, the fundamentals of the Northwest were stabilized, and at the same time, the recruitment order was officially issued to prepare for the rebellion.

Hearing this, Baochai asked, "I can't do the training without you."

Now that her daughter has become a princess, her brother has been released. The general in charge of the army, in Mrs. Wang's opinion, the situation is very good.

When he learned that Wang Ziteng was sent to the Anxi Xingdusi, Zhu Jinghong was slightly surprised and thought about the emperor's idea of ​​​​such an arrangement.

Of course, no one in the whole family thought she had done anything wrong. A good streak of good things is something worth celebrating.

"Yeah" Zhu Jinghong's response was dull.

Putting his hands under the quilt, Zhu Jinghong smiled and replied, "I dare not say anything else. I really can't live without this matter."

"We understand this matter." Jia Zheng replied solemnly.

However, the silent Baoyu despised the elder's words.

In his opinion, there is no need to be on good terms with a prince and princess who are about to be deposed.
