I am the king of the dead

After walking for less than three days, they arrived outside the camp at Beigukou.

This road is all newly repaired official roads and post roads. From Beijing Normal University to Beigukou and Juyongguan, the ground has been hardened, and the speed is a bit faster.

This camp is located in an earthen city under Beigukou.

On the day when Yu Qian arrived, the sky had just cleared up, and the sun shone on the snowflakes, making people's eyes hurt.

Outside Tucheng, banners and flags were flying, and teams of sergeants stood beside the post road with bright armor.

Shi Heng drove his horse forward, came before the chariot, got off his horse, and shouted loudly: "Marquis Wu Qing, Shi Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, has seen Yu Shaobao!"

Yu Qian had already stepped out of the car when the car had just stopped. Just as he was about to get off the car, Shi Heng stretched out his hand to help Yu Qian.

Such pretentiousness surprised Yu Qian, and he asked in a low voice, "Marquis Wuqing, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Shi Heng said in a low voice: "I'm just annoyed that you scholars are so smart, get out of the car and talk, get out of the car and talk."

Although Shi Heng and Yu Qian have settled down, it doesn't mean that Shi Heng will be inferior. Everyone is the prince of Ming Dynasty, and each rank is super-grade. Shi Heng doesn't have to be like this at all.

When Shi Heng did this, he obviously wanted Yu Qian.

"Let's talk." Yu Qian and Shi Heng came to the camp, and after there was no one around, Yu Qian took a sip of hot tea before speaking.

"The military is thinking."

"I tried my best, but I couldn't hold back." Shi Heng said helplessly, "When we pulled out the camp, it was said that we were going to Yanshan to suppress bandits, but there are no bandits in Yanshan."

"After searching for half a month, I found nothing but silly roe deer."

"Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, knowing that they want to fight the Tatars, but they have been waiting day after day, and they still haven't waited for the time to send troops."

"Until now, whether to fight or not, I can't give the army an accurate decision. It is inevitable that the army's morale will fluctuate."

More than [-] troops camped along the line from Yanshan to Kaiping. The army had been properly deployed, but Shi Heng couldn't even give his generals and soldiers an accurate word.

"Hitting is a must." Yu Qian said with certainty: "Didn't Your Majesty say it? It's just a broken house that collapsed with one kick, so you have to kick it everywhere, right?"

Yu Qian looked at Shi Heng a little strangely, could Shi Heng not be able to restrain his soldiers?

Yu Qian didn't believe it.

"This is the problem." Shi Heng leaned forward and said, "In these days, many Tatars heard about the mobilization of the army and ran outside the Great Wall. They knelt down in a large area, and there were many Tatars. The Tartar king was captured by their people and bound to the front of the battle."

"I haven't dealt with such a thing before. It's a surrender before a fight. I really have nothing to do."

An unexpected situation occurred in Beigukou Daying Camp, and it was a bit tricky for Shi Heng to deal with it.

"How many people?" Yu Qian asked with a frown.

Shi Heng sat up straight, and said solemnly: "There are more than 12 people in total, and there are more than 3 people here who are still children who are not 15 years old, and have not even grown a wheel."

"When I fight on the battlefield, I don't even bat an eyelid! But these nearly 13 unarmed civilians make me kill. I... really can't do it."

What is high moral disadvantage, this is high moral disadvantage.

In the eyes of the common people, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty treated them equally. The Ming Dynasty used the money method, and the Tatars also used the money method of the Ming Dynasty. However, these Tatar kings stripped too much, and the people could not make a living. When they heard that the king's teacher was here, this scene happened.

Of course Shi Heng expected that someone would take the initiative to contribute, but he never expected that there would be so many.

"Their main appeals are three things. The first one is to hope that His Majesty the benevolent can restore the Northern Parallel Capital and rebuild the Great Ningwei."

"The second thing is that I hope that they can divide the pasture area. Every year, because of the competition for land with lush water and grass, the blood flow is rolling. I hope that Daming can make decisions for them."

"The third thing is that they selected a few women and hoped to send them to His Majesty's palace. Some of their elders said that even North Korea can send maidservants into the palace. Are they Tatars even inferior to North Korea in His Majesty's heart?"

Shi Heng briefly explained the situation.

Tatar and North Korea are more important, which is the core of these three demands.

The Tatars have a four-class system. According to the Tatars, Ming and Tatars are competing for the Mandate of Heaven, and Ming has won the Mandate of Heaven, but North Korea or Japan, they are qualified to fight for the Mandate of Heaven?

Obviously not.

"You will really give me a problem, 13 people." Yu Qian never expected that he would encounter such a difficult thing when he first arrived in Daying.

This is the beginning. Once the 13 is not handled properly, the road to becoming a Tatar king of Ming Dynasty will be far away.

Yu Qian pondered for a long time, then smiled and said: "It's not difficult, you give me a thousand commanders, and before the Chinese New Year, I will settle all these people for you."

"As for their appeals, the first two are okay, but the last one, I have to ask His Majesty and the Ministry of Rites."

"Poems, books, rites and music can be learned, but this must not be bad, otherwise the Ministry of Rites will not be able to pass."

He is not good-looking, and he can't even be an official.

Yu Qian was mainly worried that the girls in the grassland would be exposed to the wind and sun, and would not look good, so sending them to His Majesty, wouldn't that be an embarrassment to His Majesty?

"Don't worry about this." Shi Heng said with a complex expression: "One side of the water and soil supports the other side. A few days ago, those Tatar elders saw that I didn't reply for a long time, so they gave me some Hailar, which is the grassland. The meaning of the pearl on it."

"Very nice."

Yu Qian was taken aback and asked, "You took it?"

"If you accept it, you will accept it. If you don't accept it, what do these Tatar elders think in their hearts? If they make noises about their people, if 13 people break camp for me, will I kill them all?" ?” Shi Heng spread his hands and said.

Seeing Yu Qian's unkind expression, Shi Heng immediately said: "However, I remembered Yang Jun, the governor of the Four Bravery Regiment. Back in Hailong Tun, that Ran nobleman, Yang Jun didn't even look at it, so he packed it up and gave it to someone in Nanya. His Majesty?"

"I'll follow his example and pack up together to send to the capital. Let Your Majesty have a headache about this."

I haven't seen him for three days, but when I look at him with admiration, this Shi Heng has been in the court of the center of power for more than seven years, and he knows that once this kind of thing gets stuck, those censors' spitting stars can really drown people.

Yu Qian couldn't help nodding, and said with a smile: "It should be so."

"By the way, regarding military discipline, since the governor's military affairs have arrived, I'll leave them all to you. It's complicated and troublesome." Shi Heng asked someone to bring a basket of documents and said, "All of them are handed over to Yu Shaobao. .”

Maintaining military discipline is an extremely important job, and Yu Qian is better at it than Shi Heng.

"Leave it all to me, what are you going to do?" Yu Qian picked up the pile of documents and read a few pages. Shi Heng is indeed not very good at these things.

"I'm going to patrol the border, patrol the border!" Shi Heng said with a smile, "Hunting along the way."

As soon as Yu Qian arrived at Beigukou camp, the slightly complicated and messy military camp immediately became orderly.

Shi Heng has more than 13 troops to maintain the military record, and [-] Tatars have to watch over there. He is so busy at both ends that he is dizzy. He handles so many things by himself, which is a bit dwarfed by comparison.

It's not that Shi Heng is incapable, it's the same with so many things left to Yu Qian alone.

The most important thing is to deal with it alone, and there is no one to discuss it.

Yu Qian first went to the tribe of the Tatars to meet the elders of the Tatars, and then met many Tatars, and then began to manage these Tatars with commanders.

Everything becomes orderly.

He Zhang's car drove towards Daningwei in the bright and cold light of the next morning.

King Ning's Mansion of the Great Ningwei, after the Tatars moved in, they set up the king's tent here.

Daming North Gukou to Daningwei, a total of [-] miles, He Zhang walked for seven days.

He was frostbitten.

The palms, soles of the feet, and cheeks were extremely itchy, just like the kind of itching that I wanted to scratch off the frostbite.

He knew he couldn't scratch it, and once he started scratching, it wouldn't be good if it broke.

As soon as he entered the grassland, he found that if there were no official road steles built during the Yongle period, he would really lose his way if he conquered the Tatars in this winter.

When the wind blows, the snow on the ground will be blown up, and the sky and the earth will be the same color, and you can't even tell the up and down. When people walk in it, it's like a chaos, and you can't even tell the uphill and downhill.

The sunlight reflected a slightly brilliant light through these snow crystals, and the sky was hazy, but not gloomy.

"Back then, Commander Yuan could walk hundreds of miles in the white hair wind. Was he really a human?" He Zhang looked up at the strange scene he had never seen before, and asked dully.

The person who protected He Zhang to go to Tatar was Ye Bu Shou, one of the 280 Ye Bu Shou when the Xuan Mansion was first established. His name was Ma Shuo.

Ma Shuo has long been familiar with this celestial phenomenon.

"Commander Yuan is so brave, I can't compare to him." Ma Shuo asked himself that he couldn't do it, even if he asked Yuan Bin to do it again, Yuan Bin might not be able to do it.

This kind of thing depends on luck.

He Zhang was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "It is said that you don't harvest at night, you look like ghosts, mountains, rivers and swamps, like walking on flat ground, I see your face is normal, don't you get frostbite?"

"Haha." Ma Shuo laughed out loud. He had heard such rumors many times since he was transferred from the Xuanfu to the capital, and became a Tiqi from Ye Bu Harvest.

Although he has heard it many times, every time he hears it, he wants to laugh.

"You scholars always say that we are not ghosts or monsters, we are also human beings." Ma Shuo said with a smile: "We also suffer from frostbite, but we are rough and thick, just get used to it." .”

Ma Shuo was a little distracted looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky. Back then, there were 280 nobles who bumped their fists and smiled brilliantly. Now, there are only less than 130 people left.

They are really living people with flesh and blood, parents, wives and children.

He hoped that they would all be monsters at night, so that so many people would not die.

Now the number of pier-fort Yuanhou is still expanding. Along the entire Great Wall, there are about [-] pier-fort Yuanhou who do not close their guards at night.

"Oh." He Zhang replied in a daze.

Why do these people choose to be a pier and a distant marquis?

If you get promoted and get rich, you have to live to enjoy it.

Perhaps, this is the sentence that Yu Shaobao often chanted: the Han Dynasty has a lot of loyalty and goodness from generation to generation.

He Zhang realized something.

The truth is always the truth, but if he hadn't traveled thousands of miles and seen it with his own eyes, how would he understand it?

"Da Ningwei is here." Ma Shuo said with a smile, looking at Tucheng not far away, and reining in his horse.

Chapter 559 It's Not Necessary To Use A Knife To Kill

He Zhang became nervous in a rare way. He stood under the dilapidated city and looked at it for a long time.

In front of the door were Tutuobuhua, Agadorji, Mandulu, and their adoptive father, Wu Geqi, who were waiting respectfully.

Behind them are a group of Tatar kings standing in the snow.

He got out of the car and drove towards the crowd. It was different from what he expected. These Tatars were too respectful.

"Welcome to the Great Angel." Wu Geqi led everyone to salute respectfully.

"Get up." He Zhang was stunned for a moment, never expecting that when they faced the envoys, they would bow three times and kowtow five times.

The envoys are envoys, representing the emperor, and these people kneel to the emperor.

He Zhang's nervousness is because he finally understands the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

The Ming Dynasty and the Tatars have been fighting back and forth for nearly 90 years. If you count further, they have fought for at least nearly 300 years.

This kind of mutual conquest has never stopped, and it has brought military disasters to the people of the two places.

The plundered Ming Dynasty suffered greatly from the military disaster, so why not the people of Tatar?

"I'm a little tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow." He Zhang said something before entering the city, and then began to enter the city.

Tuotuobuhua looked around, and hurriedly said loudly: "The angels have traveled a long distance, and the horses and horses are exhausted. This is what it should be."

Tuotuo finished a few sentences in a polite manner, and welcomed He Zhang into the city.

The reason why He Zhang discussed it again the next day was not because he was crazy, nor was he unprepared. He had been preparing since the day he gave the remonstrance.

He had already prepared it, but he needed to know more information about the Tatars so that he could be targeted during negotiations.

Daming had piers and towers far away, and he never closed his guard at night, and went deep into the captive camp to investigate information.

When Ma Shuo was approaching dusk, he brought a Ye Bushou into the post station and collected a lot of information about the Tatars during this period.

This information played a pivotal role in He Zhang's mission.

"The Jurchen's envoy is also in Daningwei?" He Zhang asked with a frown.

Ma Shuo nodded and said: "Yes, Li Manzhu and Dong Shan have sent envoys, hoping that the Tatars can join hands with the Jurchens to attack Ming Dynasty."

"It has been here for a while, but because of Wu Geqi's opposition, this matter has not been advanced for a long time."

Fan Guang formed the Four Bravery Battalion in the capital. After the battle of the capital, according to his meritorious service, Fan Guang should continue to be a general in the capital, but Fan Guang finally returned to Liaodong.

Since the Battle of Tumubao, Daming, a fierce tiger, has become the impression of many tribes outside the Great Wall.

Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, during the battle of the capital, crossed the Jiefan village in Fushun many times, and plundered from Jianzhouwei to Liaodong.

After Fan Guang returned to Liaodong again, he took strict precautions, deployed defenses in many places, and maneuvered many times, killing the prestige of Li Manzhu and Dong Shan. This Jiannu would never dare to go south to plunder.

But they were so determined that they planned to join forces with the Tatars to attack Ming Dynasty.
