The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Of course Zhu Hui didn't want to hand over the seal.

He was a descendant of a government official, and his ancestors had been heroes for generations, and had made great military achievements, which led to his current title.

A father is a hero, and his son is a hero.

Going back in disgrace would be more aggrieved than dying on the battlefield. If he died, His Majesty could confer the title on his son.

In the future, his grandson would also be able to inherit the title, be respected by the world, and be worshipped by the court.

If he went back in disgrace, his status would be one level lower among the dukes.

Wouldn't the lineage of the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Qian laugh at him to death?

"Since he is a talentless person, why should this duke tolerate him?"

Zhu Hui snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction with His Majesty's order.

"You, do you really want to disobey the order?" Miao Kui pointed at Zhu Hui. We have people in the palace, so we are not afraid of Zhu Hui.

Miao Kui is the big man of the Silijian.

Behind him is Xiao Jing. If Zhu Hui dares to disobey the imperial order, he will be able to quickly pass the news back to the Imperial Household Department. Then, Xiao Jing will naturally deal with Zhu Hui.

The Imperial Household Department can approve on behalf of His Majesty, which is a great power.

Serving His Majesty for twenty years.

Although Xiao Jing is a eunuch, his status in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi is no less than that of Zhu Hui.

Zhu Hui disobeyed the imperial order first, and Miao Kui was not afraid at all.

Zhu Hui did not take this kind of half-hearted thing seriously.

"Duke, General Yan came to you to ask for the seal of the general. He is outside the tent." The personal soldier came in to report.

Yan Kesong stood outside Zhu Hui's camp. If he wanted to take charge of the Beijing Army, he had to get the seal of the general first.

The three borders could not mobilize many troops to prevent Dayan Khan from attacking the city.

The Beijing Army has 50,000 people, and 20,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 transferred from the Ningxia Border Army, which is enough to arrange the nine-square tactics.

"Master, Duke Baoguo may not hand over the seal of the general easily, but do you want to fight in?" Lin Chong said.

Yan Kesong's mouth twitched fiercely. The Tatars respected the strong. As long as you are strong enough, you can replace them.

The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but you can't do this.

If you kill the Duke, he will be immediately taken back to the court and imprisoned, waiting for trial.

Even if the Duke of Baoguo disobeyed the order, only His Majesty can punish him.

"Wait, the Duke of Baoguo is a man of general knowledge."

Yan Kesong was worried that if the Duke of Baoguo did not hand over the seal, he should go in and rob it. After all, half a month had passed by when the news was passed back to the capital.

Just when he was in a state of anxiety.

A personal soldier opened the tent and bowed slightly, saying: "General Yan, the Duke invites you!"

Yan Kesong strode into the big tent, bowed slightly to Zhu Hui, and took out the imperial edict in his arms: "Duke of Baoguo, I am here to take charge of the seal at the order of His Majesty."

Zhu Hui glanced at the first-grade jade axis imperial edict.

"If the Duke of this country doesn't hand it over, what will General Yan do?"

Yan Kesong looked up in astonishment. It seemed that this incident had stimulated the Duke of Baoguo so much that he actually said such a thing.

Being forced to hand over the general seal in front of the battlefield was indeed...unbearable.

If it were him, it would be hard to accept.

Lin Song clenched the silver spear in his hand, and a set of smooth killing movements emerged in his mind.

"You...you want to rebel! I will report it to His Majesty right now."

Miao Kui pointed at Zhu Hui and persuaded him for a long time. Isn't it just to give up the general seal? I have lost my life, but I am still alive and well.

"I have a way to find the Tatars. Please hand over the general seal as soon as possible, don't delay any longer."

Yan Kesong cursed in his heart. Why is this Duke of Baoguo like a woman?

"We have been searching in Hetao for more than half a month, and only found the trace of the Tatars once. I want to see how you track them!"

The wind and sand in Hetao are strong. Once the wind blows, the traces will disappear, making it extremely difficult to find.

"This is a secret. I'm sorry that I can't reveal it."

Zhu Hui smiled coldly, "Then forget about getting the seal!"

"He niang! Catch him for me! Don't kill him." Yan Kesong ordered angrily. If it drags on, the Tatars will fight in Ningxia.

The spear in Lin Song's hand flashed and stabbed a personal soldier to death.

Rushed up to capture Zhu Hui, Zhu Hui drew his sword, and his martial arts were very good. He could fight Lin Song on equal terms.

At this time, a figure rushed up again.

Yan Kesong found that this person was Chen Shou beside him. This person didn't talk much, but he was very brave.

Shi Lin and others were so scared that they ran away.

Miao Kui shouted that he was rebelling. He not only used force against the Duke, but also killed the Duke's personal soldiers. He was right but also wrong.

"Lord Yan, if you win against the Tatars, it's fine. If you lose, do you know the consequences? How can you explain to the court? How can a grown man be so impulsive!"

Yan Kesong knew that if he won against Dayan Khan, His Majesty might forgive him.

If he lost...

"Alas, my son Chengjin was harmed."

In the camp, there were also lieutenant generals and thousand households of the Beijing Army.

But they hesitated for a moment and then helped.

Yan Chengjin was the military supervisor of the Beijing Camp. Since the Beijing Camp was reorganized, more military pay was paid, and there was no need to cultivate land. From the bottom of their hearts, they supported Yan Kesong.

What's more, he had an imperial edict. Helping the Duke of Guo was a rebellion.

Chen Shou came from a military family and was extremely brave. With his joining, Zhu Hui was quickly captured and the weapons were confiscated.

Yan Kesong grabbed the seal and ordered Lin Song and Chen Shou to lock up Zhu Hui first.

Miao Kui advised: "Detaining the Duke is a serious crime. His Majesty has ordered the Duke to return to the capital immediately. Sir Yan, please release the Duke?"

"If the Duke does not hand over the seal, I have no choice. After returning to the capital, I will apologize to His Majesty."

Yan Kesong knew that even with the imperial edict, he could not avoid this crime.

But the opportunity to fight cannot be missed.

As long as there are more Tatars in the Hetao, countless people will be displaced and countless fertile fields will become wasteland.

Having been on the border of Ningxia for a long time, he is no longer a newcomer to Hanlin.

"No matter what, this is a big deal and we have to report it to the court!"

Miao Kui said anxiously.

"Father, please excuse me."

Yan Kesong ignored him, returned to the camp, and ordered the generals of the Beijing army to discuss with Qianhu.

He spread out the nine-square grid map, pointed to the small interlaced dots on it, and said: "You take the cavalry, one thousand people per squad, divided into thirty groups, and station at these points.

If you encounter a captive, send someone to notify the officer! Don't confront him directly.

If they pursue you, run away. "

You said this is the way to find the Tartars?

Chen Shou, the generals of the Beijing army and hundreds of households all looked strange.

They kidnapped Duke Baoguo...

"How can you contend with the Tatars if you don't concentrate your forces?"

“I can’t even find anyone, it’s a waste to contend!”

Yan Kesong cursed.

At this point, Chen Shou and the generals of the Beijing army had no choice but to believe him, and each took a thousand cavalry to the garrison points in Hetao.

Before departure, Yan Kesong distributed compressed biscuits to each team.

He has eaten this stuff before, and he is satisfied.

"This is a telescope, the same as an astronomical telescope."

The generals and Qianhu of the Beijing camp came from the capital, and they had naturally seen things produced in Liangxiang.

But Chen Shou and Qian Hu from the Ningxia border army found it novel.

One team after another set off separately to their respective stations.

Yan Kesong waited for news in the camp. Once news came, he would lead his troops to attack.

"If this battle is fruitless, you can return to the capital to avoid being implicated by me."

The room manager had a frown on his face, "What is this?" He talked a lot, but Yan Kesong didn't listen to a word.

Three days passed, and Yan Kesong kept waiting for news from the garrison, but there was no news.

Zhu Hui was placed under house arrest in a large tent and guarded by Lin Song himself.

Yan Kesong occasionally came to see him and said, "It is really helpless to have the Duke under house arrest. Please don't blame the Duke."

"You are so brave to detain me privately."

Seven days passed and there was still no news. Yan Kesong was a little panicked. How about releasing the Duke? Maybe Zhu Hui can forgive him before there is any stalemate.

By the tenth day, there was still no news.

Yan Kesong ordered Zhu Hui to be released, and he would not interfere whether Zhu Hui returned to Beijing or stayed in the camp.

"My lord wants to return to the capital!" Zhu Hui mounted his horse and prepared to return to the capital to complain to Emperor Hongzhi.

At this time, a fast figure rushed over, sweeping away billowing smoke. After the cavalry dismounted, he hurriedly said: "Commander, we found an army of captives in Boluo Fort!"

Yan Kesong was stunned, and then there was a burst of ecstasy: "Quick, gather the three armies! Go to Pineapple Castle!"

Zhu Hui's eyes moved. Not long after he searched the Pineapple Fort, he hid in the Pineapple Fort again?

After thinking about it, I decided to stay in the camp and see what happened.

If Yan Kesong wins the battle, it will be difficult for him to go back like this.
