Seiwa

Yan Wang Zhu Di is not a good-tempered person, which is very similar to his father Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The series of actions taken by Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunqi after he succeeded to the throne are obviously constantly challenging his uncle's bottom line.

First, he arrested King Yan's brother, King Zhou, on the charge of misbehavior against the court, and exiled him without saying a word.Immediately afterwards, two edicts were issued, one to release the army for the people, and the other to recommend talented people, it was like digging the corner of King Yan's house with a shovel, asking while digging, is the location right?If it’s not right, I’ll definitely change it.

Just when King Yan kept patting his chest and telling himself to be calm, if we don't get angry, we lose if we get angry, a secret report suddenly came from the middle of the capital, that Emperor Jianwen still has a backup!In the near future, "reliable people" will be dispatched from North Korea to garrison Kaiping. At that time, it is very likely that under the pretext of insufficient soldiers, elite soldiers from Yanshan Guard will be dispatched to supplement the border defense.

This time, King Yan really made hydrogen gas from his head and sparks from his nostrils, he almost jumped up and pointed at Zhu Yunqi's nose and cursed: What do you want, kid? !Poaching the corners of Laozi's wall is not counted, but also copying Laozi's family background? !I'm afraid I won't rebel, right? !

When Emperor Hongwu established the vassal kings, he allowed each vassal king to set up three guards, that is, three pro-armies, to defend the palace and protect the personal and property safety of the vassal kings.When necessary, these palace guards can also serve as border troops and guards to defend against foreign enemies, punish treacherous officials, and suppress rebellions.

Depending on the fiefdom and strength of the vassals, the number of guards for each ranges from 3000 to 9000.The less is nine thousand, and the more is nearly [-].For example, King Yan and King Ning have the right to control the frontier army, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The guards guarding the king of Yan are Yanshan Guards, which are divided into Yanshan Zuowei, Yanshan Right Guard and Yanshan Qianwei.Both Shen Xuan and Yang Duo came from Yanshanwei.

To put it bluntly, these guards are the personal armed forces of King Yan.Emperor Jianwen wanted to attack Yanshanwei, with a clear purpose, to cut off the wings of King Yan and weaken King Yan's armed forces.It is equivalent to directly announcing to King Yan that he will deprive him of his personal property in disguise by legal and illegal means.

It is strange that King Yan is not in a hurry with Emperor Jianwen.

"Shu Zi'an dares to do this!"

boom!

After the teacup, the table case could not bear the wrath of King Yan's thunder and split open.

Monk Daoyan stopped twisting the beads, his gray eyebrows drooped, but his half-closed eyes were full of light. He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for ten years was finally coming.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not the emperor's original intention, it must be a traitor in the court."

Dao Yan's words were like pouring a ladle of cold water on King Yan's anger, and immediately pouring a large bowl of oil on the fire when the fire extinguished.

"Oh?" Yan Wang's outward anger gradually dissipated, his hands were clenched into fists, and he put them behind his back, ignoring the broken teacup on the ground, and slowly paced.

Not the emperor's intention?It's a joke!He watched his nephew grow up, who doesn't know who?

There are traitors in the court?this...

King Yan stopped in his tracks, and looked at Dao Yan with doubts. The monk was already smiling on the Buddha's face, with a detached attitude.

King Yan really wanted to curl his lips, pretend, pretend again!

"My lord, the emperor was young, so he must have been deceived by the treacherous sycophants in the court, disregarding human relations and family affection, and disobeying the emperor's orders. As the emperor's close relative, the lord is talented and generous, and he has the talent to be responsible. He is right to punish evil and help the country."

King Yan didn't respond, but walked to the table and sat down slowly.

Dao Yan had said similar words hundreds or thousands of times, but this time, he listened more seriously than any other time.

"Pull out the treacherous and evil, and help the country?"

"That's right. The Emperor Daxing has issued an order. There are treacherous ministers in the court. The vassal kings from all over the country should lead troops into Beijing according to the emperor's secret order. The Qing emperor is on your side!"

"Rong Gu think again."

"My lord!"

"In March next year, the lonely general will enter the court to pay homage to the new emperor." With thick callused fingers, he tapped on the table, "We will make a conclusion at that time."

"My lord, don't miss this opportunity, time is waiting for me! This is a plan for the Ming Dynasty, my lord!"

"No need to say more!"

King Yan stood up and strode away, his black boots stepped on the stone bricks, and the hem of his red uniform finally disappeared behind the door.

Looking at the wide open door, the anxious look on Dao Yan's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a smile of determination and wish coming true.

Sitting cross-legged, twisting the beads, eyes slightly closed.

How to become a Buddha when hell is not empty.If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?

Myriad Dharma Tathagata, my Buddha is merciful, Amitabha Buddha.

The sound of chanting sutras sounded again in the room, and the eunuch guarding the door looked hesitantly, and waved his hand behind him, "The Buddha is chanting sutras, just wait."

The two young eunuchs agreed and stepped aside, not daring to speak out.

Entering September, the closer to the wheat harvest season, the more stringent the defenses of the frontier fortresses.The cavalry patrols kept going, and the frontier troops on the pier were even more ready to attack.

Ever since talking with Meng Hu, Meng Qinghe has strengthened his mind.

The so-called seeking wealth and wealth, if you want to achieve what you want, you must dare to take risks!

He has no choice but to be a marquis of the great Han, to live a lifetime of glory, to have fertile land, and to be with Fuyin's family.

Since Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang decided to follow Meng Qinghe to make a career, they will no longer be timid when encountering problems.When they learned that Meng Qinghe was not in charge, he ran to the Experience Department and the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau every three days, and after asking the reason, they all looked solemn.

"Could it be that what Twelfth Lang said before was just lip service, but he still doesn't believe me?"

"Why did the fourth cousin say that?"

"Since you trust both of us, you should instruct me to do such things. Twelve Lang only needs to serve in the army, and just entrust us with any miscellaneous tasks!"

Meng Qinghe scratched his chin, "Really?"

"really!"

"really?"

"really!"

"Well."

Meng Twelve Lang motioned his two cousins ​​to come closer, and after repeating his instructions, he took out the blueprints hidden in his arms. ?

It was also difficult to find connections at the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau. Although the deputy envoy who was eager to make progress was sent home, the craftsmen in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau were still affected, and they were more cautious when taking out outside jobs.Knowing that what Meng Zongqi wanted to build was a weapon, he shook his head again and again.Meng Qinghe talked nonsense, but refused to make it easier for him.If Meng Zongqi hadn't stated that the matter had been reported to his superiors, he might have been sent to the Qianhu Office immediately.

Just kidding, can building weapons be the same as building houses?Even if the main material is wood!

The weapons of the frontier army are all standard, and everything has corresponding specifications, no matter how wide the knife is, how long the gun is, and the name of the craftsman must be engraved on the round card of the long card!

Even if Deputy Qianhu agrees, it won't work, this matter is not negotiable!

There was no way, Meng Qinghe could only entrust this matter to Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang, sighing as he confessed, he was afraid that there would not be much of the precious banknotes brought to the frontier this time.

However, as long as they can survive this time, there will be precious banknotes, copper coins, and gold and silver!

Besides, treasure banknotes are depreciating banknotes, so it's better to spend them as soon as possible.

Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang found a few strong men they made friends with on weekdays. After guarding the fields, they went to the mountains to cut firewood and log, and went home to work overnight.Fortunately, the city has become more and more tense recently. Walking on the road, the sound of sharpening knives can be heard endlessly. The behavior of Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang did not attract much attention from others at all.

Deputy Shen Qianhu still patrolled back and forth on the grassland every day, and it has almost become a habit to go to Mengqing and the guarded lookout pier for supplies.Things don't come for nothing, Deputy Shen Qianhu is willing to make things easier for Meng Qinghe in many matters.The effect is not obvious yet, and Meng Twelve Lang doesn't mind. What he intends to do is long-term investment, not a one-time deal.

Frequent visits with patrolling cavalry also made Meng Qinghe much more informed.Judging from Shen Xuan's increasingly dignified expression, the day when the neighbors from the north come to thresh grain and grass is probably getting closer.

"The Tartars are coming soon."

After sending Shen Xuan away, Meng Qinghe sat down against the wall, picked up half of the unfinished buckwheat pancake, and started eating it with cold water.

"Everyone got up their spirits. Meng said that he would not let everyone die in vain, and he must do what he said."

"The general banner is benevolent and righteous!"

"However, there is also a saying that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Meng's promise alone is not enough, and everyone has to work hard, right?"

"The general flag taught me a lesson!"

"Also, is it enough just to save your life? Don't you want to make meritorious service? Don't you want to get promoted and get rich? Don't you want to get a few more acres of land? Don't you want to get some cloth and salt for your family?"

"The general flag..."

"Do you want to?"

"think."

"Want it?"

"want to!"

"That's good!" Meng Qinghe clapped his hands after eating the last bite of cake, "It's good if you are determined, if you have determination..."

Before Meng Qing could finish talking, the soldiers on the second floor of the bunker reported another cavalry team.

"It's a frontier soldier, make a face."

"Haven't seen it?"

"Report the general flag, no."

At the foot of Duntai Mountain, Yang Duo and others who were ordered to deliver letters from Quanningwei also saw this unusual bunker.

"During the journey, have you ever seen a similar bunker?"

"No." A general banner following Yang Duo replied, "I saw a few piers under construction."

"kindness."

"Baihu, do you want to come forward?"

"No need."

"Yes."

The military situation was urgent and there was no time to delay, Yang Duo turned his horse's head, and the horse team galloped directly towards Kaipingwei.

Meng Qinghe in the bunker stood on a high place, looked at the horse team whizzing by, shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing to do with us passing by. Where did we just say? Come on, let's continue."

At the same time, Meng Qingjiang and Meng Hu in the city finally created the "weapon" that Meng Qinghe wanted, one arm-long wooden thorn after another.Choose extremely hard wood, brush it with tung oil, and it will be quite strong after drying.An ordinary sword made a sound of gold and iron when it was cut, after a few strikes, only a few gaps were left.

"It's done!"
