Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 304
If Xie Ying doesn’t go home, this year will have a clean and widowhood.
Cui Xie didnt even bother to buy new year goods, so he asked Cui Liangdong to send gifts everywhere according to the rules of previous years. He only left half a fan of pork, a few cages of chickens and ducks, a few baskets of dried Tianjin seafood, a little fresh vegetables and fruits, and nowhere to prepare for the New Year. When selling food, cook and eat at home.
Cui Liangdong handed over a stack of gift lists, took out the one from the Xie Mansion, and asked: “This year, Master Xie is not here, this gift list needs to be modified, but the fresh meat and vegetables should be changed to dry pickles. Wax?”
Cui Xie nodded: “Then send some less, but you can’t change it all. He also uses strong men in his house, eats a lot, and some fresh vegetables and meat are good. Actually, I should send some to the border, but The border gate was closed due to heavy snowfall, and it was inconvenient for us to send it there. It is most practical to wait until the early spring when the green and yellow are not picked up.”
His family gave the gift as usual, and the Xie family returned the gift as usual. According to Xie Ying’s practice in Beijing, he sent a few jars of high-quality shochu like water. Cui Xie doesn’t eat much alcohol himself, and most of them are given to Teacher Li and the seniors of the Hanlin Academy, and the rest is divided among the authors. He only left a jar for the New Year.
On New Years Eve, he went to the palace to worship the heavens and went home to worship the ancestors. On the second day of the second year, Sister Yun returned to her natal family. He, the eldest brother, had to entertain his younger sister and husband, and was too busy.
After these two days are the most important busy days, before relaxing and enjoying a day of holiday, an emergency military report came from the Shaanxi Xingdu Department in the north-the little prince from the north gathered thirty thousand troops and went straight to the newly built army town of Shaanxi Red Salt Pond !.
Fortunately, in the past two years, Yansui Town has built the border city for dozens of miles, and it is lined with castle towers. The beacon spreads quickly. As long as you stay inside the thick wall, you can hope to get out of the siege within half a month.
Bian Shu Feima reported, begging Jingli to send troops to rescue immediately.
The cabinet and the Ministry of Defense did not want to celebrate the New Year, and hurried to the palace to discuss the deployment of troops.
Its too late to transfer troops from Beijing to Shaanxi. Even from Xuanda, its too slow. Liu Daxia suggested that Yang Yiqing and Shaanxi defenders should be enlisted to recruit Liangs sons on the spot to defend the city and wait for the army to go out and encircle the little prince. .
This proposal was passed immediately, and the emperor immediately ordered the cabinet to formulate a decree. Xu Sanbian Commander Yang Yiqing and the local military officer recruited native soldiers to guard in the pass, and then sent Yansui, Xuanda and other places to immediately transfer troops to encircle the northern captives. .
Cui Xie was also called back to the Imperial Academy to work overtime as a plan.
He was living the New Year in peace. Hearing this news, his heartbeat “scratched” a little bit faster, and he pressed his chest to ask: “The guns and guns have only arrived at the border not long after they were afraid. Can the frontier soldiers be used to it?”
As war reporters, the Zhang brothers must be running where there is danger; Xie Ying not only does not control them, but also has to work with them on the front line. If the weapons can’t keep up, how can he and he rest assured!
He went to see Li Dongyang uneasy and asked for more detailed battle conditions. Teacher Li thought he was worried about the country and the people, patted his shoulders and smiled: “You were the one who made the cement, you were the one who made the binoculars, and you were the one who asked the court to go out to sea to purchase military equipment. I think you just thought about it. I want to fight, how come I am scared again at this moment?”
At the beginning, the preparation for the war was to change history, but now I am worried about family accidents… Alas, he is not a hero, and the “little” character is still hidden in his bones.
Cui Xie lowered his head slightly, and shook his head in shame: “I have relatives and friends on the front line, so how can I not worry about it. If the thief comes a few months later, so that the frontline sergeants can become familiar with the matchlock, I can rest assured.”
Teacher Li smiled and said: “In the beginning, there was no Fran machine gun, no Spanish gun, and only some cement. Our Ming border army could also keep the captives out of the barrier. What’s more, now? I know that your maternal and uncles At the border, you are thinking about them, but it is useless to think too much about it, and the saint will not ask you to go to the border. If you have a heart, you can print more of “The Record of Heroes” and sell it everywhere, so that more people will serve the court with their hearts.”
Well, the imperial court is about to fight, and he can still help with propaganda work. However, Yan Suiwei is more than a thousand miles away from Beijing. Sending such a thick set of books has been difficult in the past, and I will definitely not be able to send too many sets. It is better to simply make posters.
You dont have to sell it, just post it on the streets and alleys. With his popularity, many people must tear it home and collect it.
Cui Xie had already broken the identity of Cui Meiren, and worked overtime to draw up various edicts. After returning home, taking advantage of the New Year’s Day and Lantern Festival holidays, he drew more than ten propaganda pictures.
The craftsmen of the Cui family immediately started work and engraved new drawings for him with double pay during holidays. The characters in the picture are all the appearances he drew in “The Record of Heroes”. Everyone is magnificent and handsome, wearing new iron armor, dragging, and holding a cold and shining blade. They are heroic and enviable. .
Some of these characters wield swords to rush into the battle, some ride horses standing on the head of the city wall to patrol the distance, some real swords and guns to kill the enemy… Looks like Yang Tinghe’s beautiful version of Yang Yiqing dressed in a red peacock patch, lightly shaking a feather fan, fully satisfied This reflects the common people’s traditional aesthetics towards wise and Confucian generals.
Out of selfishness, he still drew a propaganda picture of Zhang Xie Zhenfu, leading two uncles and a team of guards and horses into the desert.
Xie Ying in the painting is holding a map, two uncles holding pencils and an interview book, but Jin Yiwei is no longer a 14 thousand householder, but an ordinary Tiqi wearing a yellow coat. A team of people are freshly clothed angry horses, their cheeks are bloody, reflecting the **** setting sun over the desert, which outlines a moving murderous intent.
This year, in order to work overtime to print the paintings, Ju’anzhai didn’t hold any grand gatherings. Only after the promotional paintings were printed did they hang a few outside the study.
The rest is naturally loaded and transported to the northwestern town.
Yulin Weizhen’s caretaker is Cui Xie’s grandparents. How can the things sent by grandsons be difficult to use?
Regardless of his old age, Liu Zhenfu personally escorted the car to Wang Ji, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers. He specially found the picture with his portrait printed on it, and repeatedly praised him for his heroism.
Wang Shen smiled his face and looked at Huang Rihua, whose face in the painting was completely different from him, but Shen Yun was exactly the same as Huang Rihua in his mind. He repeatedly praised: “Thanks to the good writing of the two uncles, Cui The scholars have a wonderful pen, how can they get such a good picture? The good children of the peoples family saw this painting and saw the demeanor of our Ming soldiers. How could they refuse to join the army?”
Don’t say calling the son of Liangliang to be a soldier, even the Mongolian soldiers under the command of the little prince saw this painting and hated themselves for not being a sergeant of Ming!
He admired the paintings for a long time, so that the people all over the city posted them, so that the people could also see and see the style of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
This painting was not only sent to Yulin, but also sent to the new city built by the red salt pond along with Yulinweis reinforcements and food. Xie Ying and his two uncles followed Yang Yiqing, the chief executive of Yang, to this border town surrounded by thief, and they also saw the poster from Yulin.
The two generations of Jin Yiwei are finally in the same frame. The uncles of the country have been the protagonists of offline works for many years, and finally turned over!
The Zhang Heling brothers were full of emotion at the posters, and wanted to show them the scrolls when they saw them.
When Mr. Yang, who was traveling outside the camp, came back to the camp and saw the color pictures promoting himself, he couldn’t help but sigh: This all painted him as Yang Tinghe. How can he see Yang Xueshi after he returns to Beijing? His senior brothers Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang knew that this appearance was written by the uncles, would they think that he wanted to grow into the appearance of Yang Xueshi, secretly laughing at him?
If its okay to just laugh secretly, Brother Li will definitely be able to laugh at him in person…
Chief Yang was worried about how to contain the little prince during the day, waiting for the reinforcements of the towns to come up from behind, here to wipe out all the sights, and to worry about appearance at night, it can be said to be extremely hard. Fortunately, Yulin Town not only sent soldiers and posters, but also some mutton and cheese. He could eat more tonic, and he didn’t worry about losing weight.
The thinner you are, the longer your face will be. Eat more to make your face look more plump.
He carefully considered his face in the city, and the army of little princes outside the city was also studying his appearance.
Last winter, Wuliang Habuxin presented to their Mongolian the “Song of Heroes” written by the Han people, and said that the two national uncles who were most beloved by Emperor Ming Emperor were preparing for battle in the frontier army. The book depicts the faces of the uncles of the country and the trilateral ruler Yang Yiqing. If these three can be obtained, the Ming court will surely be able to cast a rat avoidance device. Even if he couldn’t hit the city of Beijing like he did when the Yingzong was taken captive, at least he could enter the pass and rob him.
In the past two years, they were constrained by the cities, forts, towers, and piers that the Ming army had erected overnight, stone fences everywhere, and the cannons that kept firing every time… and the hope that Shaanxi Yushi Wang Shouren gave to the Ming army. Yuan Shenshu never snatched anything from the Han people, but lost countless weapons.
Nowadays, iron on the grassland is as expensive as gold, and thousands of households can afford a full set of armor and weapons, and the uniforms of the sergeants are not neat, and the horses can’t wear a vest. The most terrifying thing is not the lack of armor, but that the Tatars nowadays no longer dare to fight the Ming army as they did before.
If you can’t beat the Ming army once and boost your morale, I’m afraid that the princes and sergeants from top to bottom will not dare to fight the Ming army anymore. They can only be driven out of the river with rich water and grass, and it will be colder to the north. Migration in the barren land.
How can they give up this grassland so easily and live the poor life of the past, how hard it took them to cross the river and get into the set?
For this battle, the little prince, Dayan Khan Batumengke of Mongolia, not only led his troops across the desert, but also dived to the Red Salt Pond, which was defeated by the Han people by the Gaslan tribe of Mongolia more than 30 years ago. In this place, he even had to marry his daughter to A’erqiman of the Wulianghabu in exchange for support.
I hate that Ah’er begs the two ends of the first mouse, and refuses to use soldiers to attack Ming Country with him. If this battle is victorious, they will also take advantage of the general trend to annex Douliangha tribe, so that all tribes in the grassland know the consequences of rejecting Dayan Khan.
The little prince squinted at the two sixteen or seventeen-year-old handsome and sharp boys on the paper, and faintly commanded: “After breaking the city, concentrate on looking for the uncle Ming Guoguo. As long as you catch them, you won’t be afraid that the frontier guard will not bow your head!”
The appearances of the two young men have been kept in mind by the princes and generals. As long as the gate of the Red Salt Pond is opened, his sons will lead their troops into the city and search for them.
The Tatar Army suffered the damage of heavy bombers and the drought and cold of the desert, and insisted on siege of the city for nearly a month. Just when the little prince was almost unable to bear the burden, the gate of Hongyanchi New City was suddenly opened, and a group of infantry in hard armor and weird spears walked out of the gate and was exposed to the little prince.
There were also a few soldiers dressed in red short skirts under their armor and dressed as guards. The Tatars only glanced at their faces before raising their long swords and shouting: “Chong! Rush into the city,” Catch Ming Guoguo’s uncle alive!”
There was a shout, and everyone was about to barge in, but heard a shrill sound from the doorway: “Your grandfather Zhang is here, who dare to come up and catch our brother!”
Prince Balsborot, who led the charge, subconsciously reined in his horse, trying to distinguish the two uncles they were looking for from the armor.
But before he could find it, a piece of smoke evaporated from the front door. He only felt a pain in his chest, and the world before him fell into darkness.
The first group of arquebus forces retreated and reloaded, and the second group went up alternately, clearing out a Mongolian army approaching the city. Teams of well-trained soldiers stepped back and exchanged formations. The sound of gunshots and screams continued. In just a short time, they harvested a large squad of horses.
The Tatar Army had only seen the Ming Armys three-eyed guns and bird guns. As long as they had iron armor on their bodies, they would be safe from dozens of steps away, but unexpectedly this battle met the Ming army and only equipped with the Spanish matchlock gun for a winter. .
The horses were frightened and neighed by the sound of gunfire. The front army quickly retreated for a while, trying to avoid the range of the matchlock gun, but this shot exposed the army to the long-diameter gun and the Fran cannon launched by the city gate. In range.
Under the bombardment of the Flange machine gun, more than ten lives can be harvested, while the **** of the long-diameter gun bloom in the array, but it is **** and bloody, like a purgatory on earth.
The two brave sons of the little prince died in the formation unexplainably. The sergeant escaped and could no longer withstand the loss, so he had to retreat with hatred. However, it was not the time for him to retreat when he wanted to retreat. The sharp-eyed soldiers saw that the beacon on the left and right towers was burning, and the ground trembled slightly, and the Ming army was copied from behind the army for several miles.
It turned out that the Ming army came out today because it was not because the officers in the city were unable to defend the city, but because the reinforcements that the Ming army was waiting for had arrived.
But how could the Ming Army pinch the time so accurately?
Didn’t they kill enough traitors, and the person who passed the message to them was a treacherous person who wanted Ming Guo? !
The little prince was dizzy and couldn’t help but glanced at the city’s head-countless soldiers in armor patrolled the city. A Ming official who was wearing thin cotton armor and a red official robe with a dark complexion was holding his hand. Pointing at a tube of black things, he looked at him sternly.
That is… Wang Shouren! Wang Shouren who can check thousands of miles away! No wonder the Ming army in the city can just come out to lure the enemy at this moment!
The little prince glanced bitterly at his head, turning around to call for the remnants to leave with him, but the others who saw Wang Shouren shouted unconvincingly: “Grandpa Wang Shouren! It’s Grandpa Wang here, sweating profusely. We can’t win, we can withdraw quickly. Right!”
Dayan Khan was surrounded by people. Without paying attention to the city head, he didn’t feel that the long-diameter cannon on the city head turned slightly.
With a slightly higher angle, the ammunition can fly farther along the parabola.
===================
In May, this big battle was completely settled.
Nearly half of the 30,000 army led by the little prince was annihilated and subdued under the city of Hongyanchi. The little prince, the eldest son, the third son, and Dajinong were all killed by guns. The second son Ulusborot led the remnant. After retreating to Dongtao, Xie Ying and other Jin Yiwei found traces in the north of the desert, and were finally surrounded by a three-way army.
The second, fourth, and fifth sons of the little prince died in a battle, but the youngest son was missing. The sixth son, Orzierborot, led more than 6,000 remnants to surrender.
The main fire screen of the Guolejin Banner who had been in the vertical and horizontal sets for many years wanted to cross Hebei to escape, but was blocked by the Xuanfu defenders who had been guarding the river.
However, “The Fortress of Jinyiwei” is still serialized, and the people do not stop buying books because the court spoiled the ending of the little prince and the demise of the Fire Screen Department, but were more willing to spend money, to watch more of the Mingren proud story.
At the end of June, Yang Yiqing and others were ordered to enter Beijing to offer prisoners, and the court also discussed how to grant rewards.
Xie Ying chased his death to the north, leading the army to block the rest of the thieves; the two uncles killed the little princes second son, Balsborot, and Wang Shouren commanded the citys artillery fire to kill the little prince, princes, and generals. Yang Yiqing presided over the battle and dispatched all armies.
Yang Yiqing is still temporarily responsible for the trilateral system because of his meritorious service. The uncles of the country were named uncles for meritorious service and because of their status as state relatives. Xie Ying was promoted to the commanding envoy of Jinyi and Weidu, and he was still acting as the governor of Beizhen in Beijing. Wang Shourens awards caused the court to quarrel for a long time-discussing the merits of war should be nominated, but there is an ancestral system in the court that civil servants do not.
Once knighted, you can’t join the cabinet.
The three elders of the cabinet did not teach him how to make a knight. Instead, they presided over the military affairs of the Xuanda area as the deputy capital Yushi, and prepared for the re-establishment of Kaipingwei.
After this award, the officials in the DPRK and China preparing for the battle have also been promoted, and Cui Xie, the hero who made and introduced the weapon of the battle formation, naturally cannot be forgotten.
He was super-elected to be a Hanlin bachelor and Zhan Shifu You Zhan Shifu, and after more years of experience, he was one step short of entering the cabinet, which is also the pride of life.
He was socializing around during the day, and in the evening he went to private meetings with Xie Ying in the small garden. It wasn’t until another year that the New Year was approaching, when the DPRK and China discussed that the crown prince would hand over the sixteenth next year, and he could prepare to choose his concubine, he suddenly realized that –
The Hongzhi dynasty has not yet ended. Not only is the emperor Hongzhi still alive, but he is also alive and healthy. He is not as weak and sick as in history and is in danger of dying young.
Zhu Houzhao, a bear child, can ask his father to take care of him until he is mature.
When he becomes a relative and has his family in charge, he will not mess up in the leopard’s room, and he will probably have children and daughters, and he will not have no heirs behind him. Jiajing will join the emperor.
The history of the Ming Dynasty really told him that the wings of this little butterfly changed. Although I don’t know how big it can become, as far as he knows, it is indeed better than in the history books.
He can finally rest for a while, let this prosperous age naturally go on steadily, and concentrate on living a small life with Xie Ying.
