Seiwa

In the third year of Jianwen, Xinyoushuo of the first month, according to the rules set by the year of Hongwu, Emperor Jianwen reported to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple, and Yu Fengtian Temple was congratulated.

At the end of the Xin Dynasty, a great sacrifice was made to heaven and earth in the southern suburbs.

Ding Chou, enjoying the Taimiao, told Dongchang Jie.

Kneeling in front of the throne of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Jianwen burst into tears. The work of the emperor is really not something ordinary people can do.

From the moment he ascended the throne to the present, nothing good has happened, there have been a lot of troubles, and he has not had a few days of comfortable life.

Cutting down the vassal was not good, the king of Yan rebelled, and the ministers of the court and the central government were making noise all day long, creating a miasma of smoke.Geng Bingwen, Li Jinglong, Ping'an, Guo Ying, Wu Jie, Yu Tongyuan... all the generals went out with hope, and all they sent back was news of defeat.

King Yan's force value is beyond the charts, and he has the cheating device of Dafeng. Every time he swings a set of combined punches, he can beat Emperor Jianwen to the ground.

In front of King Yan, Emperor Jianwen's thin arms and legs were not enough to look at, and the emperor's dignity was severely crushed by King Yan's feet.

Thinking of the hundreds of aggrieved days, Emperor Jianwen cried more and more sadly, and could not help complaining to Emperor Hongwu. Zhu Di was too unkind to beat people with his fists, and he tried to control public opinion in vain.

I have been cautious for more than 20 years, is it easy to accumulate a reputation for benevolence?That unhealthy middle-aged man first raised the banner of Jingnan to rebel, and tried every means to discredit himself.He released grain twice, and was praised by the people for his kindness.What's even more exasperating is that those grains don't belong to him at all, they were snatched from him!

Is there anyone so shameless and bullying?

When he first ascended the throne, there were still two foreign envoys who came to congratulate him. Although it was not as good as in the Hongwu period, it was still a comfort after all.

As a result, once King Yan rebelled, he couldn't even see a shadow.Miner Xiaobang also dared to despise the dignity of the Tian family, dared not to follow the rules, and did not even send an envoy to explain. The anger and depression in Zhu Yunqi's heart were simply indescribable.

The clan and ministers accompanying the sacrificial offering, seeing the emperor crying so sadly, completely misunderstood what he was crying for, and thought it was hurting the scene. They missed Emperor Gao of Taizu.

Fang Xiaoru, a Hanlin scholar, immediately decided to write an article to praise the emperor's pure filial piety.By the way, write another essay to expose the ugly nature of King Yan.

The two articles were written together, and spread to the world together, to teach the world to see Zhu Di's true face.

What a benevolent vassal king, ordered Jing Nan by the emperor, Zhu Di is an out-and-out rebel, a traitor who caused military disasters for his own selfishness!

Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth, he already had a draft in his heart.

In front of the throne, after condemning Zhu Di's various crimes to Emperor Hongwu, and after all kinds of shamelessness, Emperor Jianwen turned his cry and began to pray for the victory of Dongchang.

The battle of Dongchang gave Emperor Jianwen a glimmer of hope. King Yan was not invincible. Even if he was beaten to a bruised face, as long as he found the right helper, he still had the ability to turn defeat into victory.

If fists don't work, kick them with your feet.

It doesn't work even if you kick it, just hit the brick directly.

With the great victory in Dongchang, Emperor Jianwen believed that the victory would eventually belong to him!

Thinking of being able to slap to death the uncle who has always despised him and slapped him every now and then, Zhu Yunwen burst into tears.

too excited.

When will such a beautiful scene come?

Emperor Gao has a spirit in the sky, can you give me some advice?

If Zhu Yuanzhang really had a spirit in heaven, how would he feel about it?Only the old man himself knows.

When Emperor Jianwen cried loudly in front of Emperor Hongwu's throne, King Yan was not idle.

Chinese New Year is Chinese New Year, rebellion is rebellion.The Chinese New Year does not hinder the fighting, nor does it prevent him from finding trouble with the Southern Army.

Ping An, who occupies the true steadiness, is the first to be targeted.

Garrison imperial troops on your own territory?Absolutely not!

Zhu Di summoned his advisers and generals, gritted his teeth and said, "We must give this kid some color!"

When Emperor Jianwen received congratulations from hundreds of officials at Fengtian Hall, King Yan sent Yang Duo and Zheng Heng to lead troops to capture Wei County.

When Emperor Jianwen cried bitterly in the Taimiao to express the great victory of Dongchang, King Yan's army swept across Shenzhou.

Ping'an has a high force value, but it doesn't have superhuman powers.The southern army has a large number of people, and it can't stand the mediocrity of the generals. It is not the opponent of Yang Duo, Zheng Heng and others at all.Often two or three rounds are beheaded by the horse.The main general was killed, and the soldiers immediately dispersed.After several battles, even if the spirit of the fire brigade is carried forward at all times in peace, the horses are not as fast as the fire trucks.

After receiving the news of the call for help, they hurried to arrive, and Yan Jun had already taken advantage of it and ran away without a trace.All that was left were dead bodies and wounded soldiers rolling and howling.

Most of the military rations and ordnance hoarded everywhere were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were simply burned.Either beat the gongs and drums to tell the people that the King of Yan is putting grain somewhere again, so hurry up, and you will have to miss even a single grain of wheat.

Even though everyone was apprehensive about the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not cleared, they couldn't resist the temptation of food. With the help of Yan Jun Youshao, they emptied the food and payment in the warehouse.

Don't forget to line up when moving food, it is really orderly.

For a whole month, Ping An was exhausted.Seeing the empty warehouse, he stabbed the spear on the ground fiercely. He had never fought such a humiliating battle.

Is this the army?It's even more rogues than rogues!

After receiving the battle report, Sheng Yong couldn't think of a good solution.Hebei is the old nest of King Yan. At the beginning of the war, Geng Bingwen was able to hold onto Zhending because King Yan was still weak.Now, King Yan controls the land of the three provinces, and with the support of King Ning and King Jin, he even went out of Hebei and entered Shandong.How can it be so easy to plant a nail in Zhu Di's lair?

The only thing Sheng Yong can do is to send more reinforcements and rations to Ping'an.At any rate, it will last until March, when the imperial court gathers a large army before they can compete with King Yan.

Ping An couldn't, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

There was really nothing he could do about the Yan army's wandering horses, so he simply gave up the nearby counties and defended Zhending City, not giving the Yan army any chance to attack.

Once encountering the rangers of the Yan army, they will definitely besiege with two or three times as many troops, with firearms, bows and crossbows fully charged, it will be difficult for the cavalry led by Yang Duo and Zheng Heng to come and go like the wind as before, and take advantage of it.

King Yan recalled most of the cavalry, leaving only a small group of cavalry outside Zhending City to spy on intelligence.This move is also to tell Pingan that it is best to pay attention when sleeping, maybe this king will rise up one day and go outside Zhending City to try the power of the newly developed artillery.

Standing on the top of the city, Ping An held the long knife in his hand and looked at the small Yan army outside the city with deep eyes.

"Captain?"

"Order the defenders, and if there are sentries approaching, only use bows and arrows to drive them away, and there is no need to go out of the city to meet them."

"But..." Isn't this colluding with the enemy?

Pingan turned his head, his cold eyes pierced the general's body, and under the evil spirit, the general did not dare to raise any objections.

"Impressive order!"

Every move of Zhending City could not be hidden from King Yan, knocking on his knees, Zhu Di frowned deeply.

"What is Ping Baoer's intention?"

Dao Yan twirled the beads and proclaimed the Buddha's name, "My lord, Dudu Ping is a wise man."

"smart people?"

"Ping Dudu may have the intention of showing kindness, and the prince can take this opportunity to show kindness and forgive others."

King Yan didn't speak, Dongchang was defeated, Zhang Yu died in battle, and he already hated Sheng Yong and Pingan to the bone.

Have to forgive others and forgive others?He believed in his father's philosophy even more, to do everything right, and to cut grass and roots.

"My lord, the overall situation should be the most important thing."

King Yan rolled his eyes without dignity.

Dao Yan smiled slightly, knowing that King Yan agreed.

However, it will take some time to observe the true meaning of Ping An's move.If it is a plan to delay the army, another calculation must be made.

The war in Hebei subsided, Sheng Yong in Shandong focused on deploying troops and training, Yan Wang Tong Daoyan began to formulate an offensive plan for spring, and Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing suddenly twitched his head again and issued an edict that made the ministers in the court very dissatisfied.

Qi Tai Huang Zicheng, who was dismissed because of Jing Nan, was reinstated, and Tie Xuan was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War.

With this order, Chaozhong immediately exploded.

The officials who participated in Tie Xuan's life problems all expressed their objections. How could such a person with a lack of virtue be able to take on such a heavy responsibility?

Calling Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng back to the court is even more absurd. He has not achieved an inch of merit, but there are many disasters. Let them reinstate their posts, and they are clearly yelling at King Yan. I am not afraid of you. If you have the ability, you will come to Nanjing?

This is a provocation, an absolute provocation!

Did the emperor feel that King Yan's rebellion was not strong enough, and the momentum was not strong enough?

Wei Guogong's Mansion

Xu Huizu put down his pen, pondered for a long time, finally sighed, lit the written memorial, threw it into the brazier and burned it to ashes.

But after a victory, the emperor acted like this, Xu Huizu really had nothing to say, except disappointment or disappointment.

He can be sure that the advice he gave with all his painstaking efforts is not as good as Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's nonsense.Instead of sending it up to cause trouble for yourself, it is better to burn it and end up clean.

If the emperor wants to use him, he will naturally send him to lead the army.

If the emperor doesn't use it, Xu Huizu doesn't want to make fun of himself anymore.

Compared with Xu Huizu's dullness, Xu Zengshou's face is full of joy.With the emperor's order, he made more frequent trips to Duke Cao's Mansion and King Gu's Mansion in the capital.The invitations sent to the residence of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, were rarely returned.Hearing Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's dissatisfaction with the emperor's reappointment of Huang Zicheng, but still making him think behind closed doors, Xu Zengshou knew that the fire was almost over.

"Since that's the case, why don't brother Jiujiang give the emperor a letter to make meritorious service?"

Xu Zengshou's seemingly "well-intentioned" reminder revived Li Jinglong's hope.

An eloquent and eloquent memorial was quickly sealed by the Tongzheng Envoy and sent to the emperor.

The memorial was sent at a perfect time, even though Huang Zicheng firmly opposed it, because of his relatives, Emperor Jianwen forgave Li Jinglong, promised him that he would no longer have to shut himself up, and appointed him as the gatekeeper of Jinchuan.

Emperor Jianwen's idea is very simple, Li Jinglong can't fight, but guard the head office of the city gate?It's a pity that what Emperor Jianwen thought was a kindness, in Li Jinglong's view, it was overkill, which made him full of resentment.

From the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops to the city gate guard, the psychological gap is extraordinary.

The dignified Duke guards the city gate?It's better to let him continue to think behind closed doors.

Seeing that the emperor reactivated Huang Zicheng and Li Jinglong, Gao Wei, who had been blackmailed by Meng Qinghe, also tried to send them to the school, but nothing happened, and there was no news at all.

Mr. Gao was very sad, and he couldn't help sighing at the moon at home, mourning the spring and autumn, and successfully fell ill and was bedridden.Even if the emperor wants to use him at this time, it is impossible.

The ups and downs of Nanjing City spread to Beiping through secret channels. The King of Yan decided to add fuel to the fire. He wrote an article in his own hand, counting the crimes of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng. If you make a big mistake, you will definitely cause chaos and chaos.

The emperor does not listen to advice and insists on going his own way, which is a sign of a foolish emperor!

At the end of the article, Yan Wang solemnly wrote that if the emperor does not correct his mistakes immediately and expel the two, the uncle will not continue to fight for the sake of the country, and will definitely lead his troops into Nanjing, on the side of the Qing emperor!

"It's not the minister's original intention. There is no other way. I can only follow the example of Duke Zhou to become a king and return the country to Qingming."

In short, if the emperor does not listen to dissuasion and appoints treacherous ministers, he will definitely endanger the court.For the stability of the country, he must break into Nanjing!

It is conceivable how wonderful Emperor Jianwen's expression will be when this memorial is sent to the imperial court.

After a few days of clear weather, the sky over the capital was once again cloudy.

Sheng Yong, who was training in Shandong, received an order. The emperor said that if he wanted food for food, guns for guns, and people for people, he must defeat Zhu Di in the spring decisive battle!

Sheng Yong smiled wryly, the emperor is so determined, can he take back the order not to kill relatives first?Otherwise, even if the soldiers tried their best, they would not be able to catch King Yan.

As long as the king of Yan is safe and sound, he can still lead his generals to rebel, and the troubles will never stop.

I want to return to thinking, but I dare not speak, and I can't speak.I can only pinch my thighs and give thanks.

Regardless of whether or not King Yan can be captured, soldiers must continue to practice and battles must continue to be fought.As for whether he can win the fight, it's all up to the heavens to do their best.

Beiping City

Shen Xuan's injury healed very quickly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk in the first month.In contrast, although Zhu Gaoxu was slightly injured, he recovered a little slower due to the poisoning.

Except for their shifts, Meng Qinghe spent most of his time wandering around Shen Xuan.

Dr. Liu took the pulse, and he watched.

He kept watch while the doctor changed the medicine.

Shen Xuan eats and dresses, and also helps.

The reason is aboveboard, Commander Shen is seriously injured, and his subordinates should try their best.

"The humble staff was injured in the army, and all depended on Commander Shen to take care of them. Now it's just a reward."

Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, he really didn't blush at all.

Meng Qinghe scratched his chin, he couldn't help it, the consequences of telling the truth were unimaginable, and a white lie was more acceptable.

The soldiers guarding Yanshan were moved by Meng Qinghe, and Meng Tongzhi was indeed a true man of love, a pure man!

King Yan also praised Meng Qinghe as a benevolent person who never forgets to repay his kindness, and Princess Yan gave a lot of rewards.

Only monk Daoyan didn't say a word, watching Meng Shierang who was busy in and out, knocking on the wooden fish and smiling deeply.

After coming down a few times, Meng Tongzhi basically looked at Daoyan and turned away. It was really the monk who laughed too much.

Zhu Gaoxu was lying on the bed, Zhu Gaosui was bored and couldn't go out with the army, so he was reluctant to let him work with the prince, so he simply entangled Meng Qinghe.

In name, it is to visit the freshly baked righteous brother, and by the way, ask the righteous brother about the art of war.In fact, he wanted to hear the Fanbang story that Meng Qinghe told.

Zhu Gaosui has always remembered the old man Meng Qinghe mentioned, and he is also thinking about erecting a monument for the old man.It's a pity that before asking King Yan for instructions, Princess Yan rejected it first.

Concubine Yan is a woman who does not give in to men, so her knowledge is naturally extraordinary.

The identity of the old man is unknown, and it is difficult to determine whether the surname is true.How can such a person erect a monument?In the future, if you can really find the crop that the old man said, you can justify its name.According to Zhu Gaosui's report, overseas soil and productive crops seem to be real.There are foreign countries such as Chenla, Java, etc., and America, which is rich in potatoes and corn, should also exist.

If you can find potatoes and other things, it will be a good thing to benefit the world.

However, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and this time is not the best time.

After listening to Princess Yan's teachings, Zhu Gaosui had an epiphany in his heart, and remembered Meng Qinghe's talk about starting a family business, and he became more fond of him.

Therefore, when Meng Twelve Lang took care of Commander Shen, he had to spend his energy dealing with Zhu Gaosui.Fortunately, Shizi didn't catch any more strong men, otherwise he really didn't know how to live.

Staring at Commander Shen who had used the medicine, Meng Twelve Lang was keenly aware that something was wrong, he immediately took a step back, but was still held by Shen Xuan, pulled him into his arms, and tasted the bitterness.

Ever since Shen Xuan woke up, every time he took medicine, he had to experience this.

Verbal protest?Not at all.

Forced resistance?He was suppressed every time, not to mention, with his force value, how could he be Shen Xuan's opponent.

The result of a kind discussion is likely to be pulled into his arms and hands on.

Summarizing Commander Shen's recovery days, Meng Qinghe's deepest feeling is that Commander Shen is like a wolf, and he is the meat of the wolf's mouth.I don't know the reason, I haven't torn it up and swallowed it all the time, but I taste it every now and then, as if I'm thinking about where is the best place to eat it.

Touching the shoulder where the tooth marks were left, Meng Twelve Lang shivered.

For the first time in his two lifetimes, he felt this way.

The absolute power contrast, the wrists were clasped, the whole body was locked, looking into the dark eyes, only palpitations remained.

It must be admitted that the feeling is shuddering.

Looking at the small body that still doesn't have much flesh, well, he admits that he can only be shivered.

Shen Xuan turned his head to the side, rubbed Meng Qinghe's cheek, raised his chin with his fingers, "What is Twelve Lang thinking?"

"Think a lot." Meng Qinghe raised his head according to the strength on his chin, and looked at the beauty looking down at him, "Commander, your injuries are still not healed."

"I know." Shen Xuan pecked Meng Qinghe's lips again, seeing him frowning because of the bitterness of the soup, he let out a low laugh.

"..." Is this teasing or pure bullying?

No matter how you think about it, the latter is more likely.

Feeling sad, Meng Shierang once again missed his good figure in his previous life.

However, nostalgia can only be nostalgia after all.

Woohoo.

When he was sad, he suddenly heard Zhu Gaosui's voice from outside the door, and Meng Qinghe got up quickly, but the arms clasped around his waist remained motionless.

"command?"

Shen Xuan bowed his head, with a smile on Ruyu's face, "One day, Twelve Lang will get used to it."

Habit?

Meng Qinghe was a little dumbfounded, and even forgot to struggle.

With his fingertips stuck into his collar, he picked up a piece of brocade rope and brought it to his lips. He stared at Meng Qinghe's eyes with his black eyes, "Hasn't Twelve Lang ever thought about it?"

Zhu Gaosui had already reached the door, and the creaking sound of the door opening continued to grow in his ears.

Meng Qinghe opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound at all. He was a little frightened.

Shen Xuan finally let go of his arms, looked at Meng Qinghe, a smile flashed in his black eyes, and pecked the tip of his nose through the screen, "I want to marry Twelve Lang, do Twelve Lang really understand? "

Outside the screen, Zhu Gaosui said excitedly: "Commander Shen, Tongzhi Meng, I'm here to ask for advice again."

Inside the screen, Shen Xuan stood up straight, with black hair and black eyebrows, silk blue robe, and bamboo like jade, a gentleman is elegant.

Only Meng Qing and Shihua were on the spot. He wanted to be with Shen Xuan, and he thought about all kinds of difficulties, but Shen Xuan's expected goal was countless percentage points higher than what he imagined.

Following Shen Xuan's salute stiffly, and in response to Zhu Gaosui's words, Meng Tongzhi's thoughts had already flown to the sky.

Compared with Daming's Hou Erdai, is he really not enough to look at at all?

Jianwen three years, March

The Yan Army and the Southern Army were preparing for the war at the same time.

After Zhang Yuzhan's death, Shen Xuan was appointed general of the Chinese army, with Zhang Fu and Zheng Heng as deputy.With a fierce reputation for fighting, coupled with his status as the adopted son of the King of Yan, no one in the army would be dissatisfied.

Zhu Neng led the left army, and Li Bin, the leader of the right army, died in battle. Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, was ordered to go on top, Xu Zhong led the front army, and Fang Kuan still led the rear army.

In view of Fang Kuan's performance in the Battle of Baigouhe, Zhu Di originally wanted to hand over the rear army to Tan Yuan.After the defeat of Dongchang, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Fang Kuan was not withdrawn.But he knew that if he couldn't perform well in the next battle, he would still have to abdicate the position of general after the army.

There is no first text, no second martial arts.

If he didn't want to get the same treatment as He Shou Qiu Fu, Fang Kuan had no other choice but to fight his way to the death with the Southern Army.

The southern army has also set up a battle.

When King Yan led his army to Hutuo River, Sheng Yong had already set up camp in Jiahe, and Pingan led his army from Zhending to station at Shanjiaqiao.

The Yan army's vanguard passed Chenjiadu, and the two armies met within forty miles.

The King of Yan sent out cavalry to investigate the intelligence of Sheng Yong's army. Meng Qinghe, who accompanied the army, took the initiative to ask for orders, but was ruthlessly rejected by Shen Xuan.Looking at the sturdy frontier cavalry and the stocky Mongolian man, Meng Tongzhi touched his nose, okay, he will be in charge of logistics.

Xinsi, the two armies lined up at Jiahe.

Sheng Yong formed a battle formation centered on firearms and crossbows. Even if he could no longer lure King Yan into the battle, it was enough to restrain the cavalry of the Yan army.

There is a special standing shield in front of the battle. Behind the shield, the Southern Army hums a ditty and shoots the enemy easily.As long as the Yan army dares to charge forward, the absolute iron beads and crossbow arrows greet them, and they will kill as many as they come.

In one charge, there were hundreds of corpses of the Yan Army cavalry who fell in front of the formation.

Yan Jun also used firecrackers, bows and arrows to fight back, but they were all blocked by the shields in front of the formation.

King Yan personally launched the charge, and as a result, except himself, everyone else became a death squad, daring to charge forward and be killed by the southern army.

Sheng Yong made up his mind, the cavalry charged, the southern army was definitely not the opponent of the Yan army.Since you can't win in the hedging, then simply fight the enemy for consumption.

Putting on such a defensive formation like a tortoise shell can drive King Yan crazy even if he can't grind him to death.

The King of Yan was really helpless, he couldn't charge forward, and his archery and gunshots were all blocked by the shield. Bombarding with artillery was a way, but in order to speed up the army and enhance its mobility, he didn't bring a few artillery pieces at all, which didn't play much role at all.

The situation is very unfavorable to the Yan army, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be as Sheng Yong intended.

Meng Qinghe also saw the situation on the battlefield, Sheng Yong was really powerful, this formation was tailor-made for the Yan army.It may not be effective against other armies, but against the Yan army, which is dominated by cavalry, it is definitely the nemesis.

If you want to break through the battle formation, you must first break through that shield.

Meng Qinghe also thought of artillery, then shook his head, and then his eyes fell on the long pole of the grain truck. A thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes lit up.
