The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 430 Hiring the Prince

At this time, at the north gate of Datong Town.

Barsborot rode a fast horse, followed the first batch of cavalry, and said viciously.

"Crush the vegetables they planted! Trample the vegetable fields!"

Boom!

Thunders roared on the flat ground, mud splashed everywhere, and the Tatar soldiers and horses kept falling down.

It was like the wind blowing over wheat waves.

Barsborot thought it was the Red Barbarian General, but he saw that the soil under the ground exploded.

Several pieces of broken iron splashed into his body, and he fell from his warhorse.

He could only watch thousands of troops trample over him.

He saw dense lines on the ground, and then he realized that the Ming people were not planting vegetables, this was, this was a trap.

The ancestor Genghis Khan said that the Han people were as cunning and treacherous as wolves.

But he no longer had the strength to get up.

Shushujueluo Manda rode on a big black horse, and mud and stones kept flying around him.

The earth seemed to explode, the eardrums hurt, and the war horses were shaking wildly.

But he couldn't retreat.

The Ming emperor wanted to start the Dinghai Campaign again and drive the Jurchens to the extremely cold river basin in the north. It was all because too many craftsmen had been captured by the Ming in recent years, which angered the court.

But for now, he could only unite with the Tatars and dominate the north. As the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, he led the Jurchen army to charge.

On the city gate, Miao Kui used a monocular telescope to see the battle situation in the distance.

"Not a single soldier was lost. This mine pool is really a mine pool."

From a distance, the Tatar and Jurchen cavalry were like a big pancake that was bitten hard.

Despite this, many Tatars continued to fight.

Once the horn sounded, the army could not withdraw without a military order.

They used the three-door red generals to bombard the city gate of Beiwumen in succession.

"Sir, the city gate has been broken!" Xu Jian, the deputy general of the Duke of Baoguo, hurriedly reported.

Song Jing was a little nervous. He went to the fields to grow vegetables, read the Four Books and Five Classics, developed gunpowder, and created the Red Barbarian General.

But he had never killed anyone, nor had he seen the battle of thousands of troops.

Looking at the vast army, yellow dust filled the sky, and people kept dying in blood.

The strong smell of blood in his nose aroused his stomach acid and made him want to vomit.

"Quick, hold on, and wait for the Duke to come back!" Miao Kui gritted his teeth.

Deputy General Xu Jian led the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses, rushed down the city gate, and led the army to fight.

The sound of mines exploding was endless.

But there were still some Tatars and Jurchens who slipped through the net and rushed to the city wall.

"There is also a firearm, a hundred-shot cannon." Song Jing said: "Please ask Lord Miao to command, and the Shenji Camp will follow me out of the city..."

He was afraid, but he was more afraid that the Tatars would rush into the city.

The Tatar camp was in chaos, but the momentum was still unabated.

The cavalrymen behind did not know what happened in front.

People kept rushing into the minefield and then fell down.

The Jurchens found something wrong. They saw a group of Ming soldiers on horseback running out of the city gate in the distance, standing in formation.

Song Jing ordered his men to raise the muzzle of the cannon and fire a hundred bullets in a row.

A hundred-shot cannon can fight fifty people!

"Shoot for me!"

The soldiers of the Shenji Camp loaded lead bullets into the barrel, and with a bang, the Tatar cavalrymen in the front row suddenly fell down.

Miao Kui and Xu Jian were stunned.

This should be called a cannon that destroys the world!

Song Jing was sweating profusely because of nervousness. 80% of the gunpowder he brought was used for mines.

The remaining 20% ​​was used for the hundred-shot cannon, which could only last for half an hour at most.

The Tatar cavalry rushed over like a tide.

"Change the Red General!"

The Red General guards the city gate, and one cannon blocks the way.

A cannon fired, and the missiles opened a bloody path.

This is a fierce battle.

Xu Jian pulled Song Jing back and shouted angrily: "You come to fight, how come you can't even hold a sword?"

He saw Song Jing's body trembling constantly, and the spy reported that in half an hour, the Duke of Baoguo would return to the city.

………

In the capital,

Yan Chengjin ordered people to move the Ming Dynasty Code to the Duchayuan duty room.

When Wu Kuan saw the Ming Dynasty Code, his head hurt badly, "Chengjin, let's take a look and then send it back. How can the book compiled by the old man be revised?"

None of these civil servants in the Duchayuan can compare to Li Dongyang.

Yan Chengjin ignored him and did not intend to let Wu Kuan leave his name in history.

What he cares about is that his father is far away in Yansui, how can he be included in the Daming Code, and make His Majesty and the officials feel comfortable?

Zheng Qian reminded in a low voice: "Sir, Lord Wu is talking to you."

Yan Chengjin always pondered for a long time before speaking.

Wu Kuan didn't mind, but he cared about that you only have this ability, and you still want to show off in front of the three elders. How will the Duchayuan end up?

The censors around felt that the pressure was so great that they couldn't breathe. If they couldn't revise the Daming Code, they didn't know how many censors would impeach them.

The censors were impeached, just like a sow pushing cabbage every day, and one day the cabbage pushed it.

"Sir Yan, this is not an impeachment. Our censors are not good at it."

"The six ministries and Hanyuan participated in the compilation of the Daming Code. If they can't convince them, they will be impeached."

Based on this point, the censors didn't want to touch the Daming Code.

Yan Chengjin turned a deaf ear to it. Anyway, he didn't need them.

Opening the Ming Dynasty Code and starting to edit, the contents added during the Jiajing and Wanli years, such as the Dusi of the Ministry of Astronomy, Culture and Education, and the Ministry of War, can all be included in the Ming Dynasty Code.

There is also the newly established Hainan Provincial Administration, which is not included in the Code.

These are all areas that need to be added.

He thought for a moment, came to the East Palace, and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to make money?"

"No, you must want to trick me into doing your bidding." Zhu Houzhao pouted his drum, squatted on the ground and fought crickets, "Where is the money you earned from selling tiger wine? I helped you get the big insect out of the palace, why didn't I get the money? Do you want to get it for free?"

The word "get it for free" is really indecent. He must have learned it from scolding Zhu Houzhao some time ago.

Yan Chengjin took out a book: "I want to ask your Highness to help me revise the Ming Dynasty Code. If it is revised, I can leave my name in history."

"Humph, I can leave my name in history even if I become the emperor."

"………Yan Chengjin.

He wanted to open Zhu Houzhao's head to see how many brains there were inside. What a clever little ghost.

"Including the silver for the tiger wine, one thousand taels!"

"One thousand and one hundred taels."

"Deal!"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, feeling that he had gotten a bargain, and hurriedly asked: "What do you want me to do for you?"

"Your Highness, can you write the garrisons established by the Western Regions, the North, and Liaodong in the volume of the Ministry of War, and the customs of the Tatars and the Jurchens in the volume of customs and culture."

"In the world, only you know that my talent is unattainable. For this reason, I will help you once, but not for the silver." Zhu Houzhao stood up happily and took the silver in his hand very honestly.

If he couldn't find someone, he was not familiar with the garrisons set up by the dynasties on the border.

Yan Chengjin would not come to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao is quite knowledgeable about the garrisons on the border, as well as the preferences of the Tatars and the Jurchens.

"When I finish writing, I will send it to you."

Leaving the palace, he came to Li's house.

Yan Chengjin separated a volume of Hainan and gave it to Li Zhaofan: "This is the Daming Code compiled by the officials in the palace. You can repair the Hainan volume."

Hainan has established a provincial government, so it should be included in the Daming Code.

Li Zhaofan has been to Hainan, so he can write the Hainan volume.

………

Emperor Hongzhi went to the bookshelf to find a book. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Jing: "How is the Daming Code compiled by Yan Chengjin?"

Xiao Jing hesitated: "Yan Chengjin gave the prince 1,100 taels of silver and hired the prince to revise the Daming Code."

Hiring the prince to revise the Daming Code?

This silly kid, he is the king and Yan Chengjin is the minister. It was originally the minister who compiled for the king.

How come it was the other way around when it came to him?

Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists tightly and gave birth to a fool!

Luckily, the queen still has a son in her belly.
