Near Linguan in Yazhou, groups of soldiers rode war horses, wearing fox fur hats, mink-trimmed Pupou or woolen Chuba, with long knives on their waists, amulets and long and short spears, and carrying bows and arrows.
Jiarong warriors began to gather.
Sang Jiepeng gathered more than 40,000 soldiers from various tribes.
Wearing Zhagui (warrior uniform) and holding a horse-riding Suomo chieftain bag, Sosagaba led four thousand Suomo native soldiers at the front.
The ancestors of Suomo Tusi and Zagu Tusi were both Xitanmou, the Tubo general in the Tang Dynasty. The two families were of the same blood, and were famous among the Jiarong tribe for their daring to fight.
Eighteen-year-old Nangso Sagyaba, riding on a war horse, his young and handsome face is darkened, but it shows the masculine beauty of a warrior.
He is holding a double-blood-grooved spear, which shines silver under the sunlight.
The Jiarong people are a nation on horseback, and their spears are mostly short, flexible, and lightweight. The spear head has a graceful arc, four blood grooves, and two large flying blades at the tail.
The Jiarong people who pay attention to practicality never carve exquisite ornamental patterns on the thatch. During battles, they will insert the thatch into the ground, which is both a long thatch and a horse-tethering post.
"Da! Da! Da!"
Jiarong soldiers broke through Linguan and cut open the village gate.
Nangsuosakyapa moved the riding grass in his hand, and the blade of the blade moved forward and stabbed a Ming soldier. He quickly turned around, and the blade of the blade tilted downward to the right, letting the body slide down the blade.
He took out the tip of his gun and looked for the second Ming soldier, but couldn't find him.
There are no civilians in Linguan, only fifty soldiers. Yazhou has experienced two military disasters by Zhang Xianzhong and Hauge, and it is completely deserted.
Sang Jiepeng didn't grab anything in Yazhou, so he led his army to turn to Tianquan Sixth Division to recruit the Secretary. At the Diaokou and Zishiguan areas, they were met by Gao Jitai, the deputy envoy of the Sixth Division of Tianquan Division.
Yang Xianzhu’s desperate resistance.
The Gao family and the Yang family of Tianquan Sixth Division were originally part of the Jiarong Eight Tribes. They submitted to the Ming Dynasty early, and gradually became Chinese and became loyal subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
Two years ago, Zhang Xianzhong sent Ai Nengqi's troops to march into Yazhou and Tianquan Sixth Division. Tianquan chieftain Gao Jitai and deputy chief Yang Zhiming resisted desperately. Yang Zhiming died in battle. They repelled the Daxi Army at Feixian Pass and saved the entire territory of Tianquan.
, not poisoned.
"General Xu, you go to fight and test the fighting strength of the Tubo people."
Gao Jitai ordered his general Xu Hanqing to go to battle.
Xu Hanqing led two thousand cavalry to attack the Jiarong army.
Chieftain Babitai of Wori, Chieftain Shen of Ningyuan Village, led a charge of three thousand cavalry to attack.
The Jiarong Army is close to Tibet, and the cavalry mostly uses Tibetan horses; the Tianquan Army is close to Sichuan, and the cavalry mostly uses Sichuan horses.
Both the Sichuan horse and the Yunnan horse are short-footed horses, and their impact power cannot be compared to the Tibetan horse.
After fighting for a while, Xu Hanqing was defeated and returned to his own formation.
Gao Jitai frowned and ordered the city gate to be closed tightly.
The Jiarong army could not attack the fortress, so they had to loot outside the city and transfer to Sichuan Xingdu Division.
In Xingdusi, Sichuan, they captured Beishanguan and looted everything inside and outside the pass.
Luo Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Xingdu Division, and Anmeng, the local commander, quickly organized military and civilian defense.
The capital of Sichuan is surrounded by mountains, the people are barren, and the Jiarong army has not gained much.
Sang Jiepeng was unhappy. This was his first battle since he became leader. He wanted to grab more spoils to establish his prestige. He didn't expect Sichuan to be so dilapidated. He only robbed 2,000 people, tea, and a small amount of salt.
p>
This is a big blow to his image as a leader.
"Big Chief, the people's livelihood in Sichuan is declining and there is nothing to rob. Why don't we take a detour to Yong'an Mansion in Yunnan and go to Lijiang Mansion to rob it? The Mu family in Lijiang is the richest in the world. The locals say, 'There is the Imperial Palace in the north and the Mu Mansion in the south.
'".
Qu Jingshen, the chieftain of Wa Temple, gave Sang Jiepeng a bad idea.
Sang Jiepeng's eyes lit up: "Is there the Imperial Palace in the north and Mu Mansion in the south?"
The mighty Jiarong cavalry crossed Yongning Prefecture in Yunnan and headed straight for Lijiang in Yunnan.
Mu Yi, the local magistrate of Lijiang, has always been good to his neighbors. In recent years, he has had a good relationship with King Zanshan of Duogan Dusi in Tibet (near Lingzang), and there has been no major war in the north.
Unexpectedly, a group of bandits crossed Yongning Mansion from the east and entered their territory.
The Zanrong cavalry successively captured Zhongdian, Lapu, Qizong, Yanwa, and Linxi. They looted a lot and then left.
"Ah!"
Bu'er Jixi, the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, picked up a screaming Naxi girl and placed her on the horse's back.
Sang Jiepeng burst out laughing: It's okay to let his subordinates do things like robbery. How can there be any reason to go and rob it personally as a Jiebo? This Bu'er Jixi is just like a soldier, and he doesn't look like a Jiebo at all.
p>
"The general's order from E (Tibetan, me), retreat!"
"Big boss, this Lijiang is so rich, and the men are so happy to grab it. Why did they withdraw?"
All the chieftains were reluctant to leave.
Sang Jiepeng stared: "Cherangcuo (you) really think of yourself as robbers? Erangcuo (we) are here to force the Ming Dynasty to reopen the tea horse market, not to rob. The torture is too harsh.
It would be foolish to have no buffer space."
At the general's command, the Jiarong cavalry roared and ran cleanly.
This trip yielded a huge harvest, plundering more than 10,000 people, as well as countless gold, silver, jewelry, tea, and salt.
After Sang Jiepeng divided the stolen goods, he sent envoys to Zhu Hengjia to request that the tea horse market be reopened.
Mu Yi, the local magistrate of Lijiang, led 20,000 Mu soldiers to chase the robbers, but failed to catch up.
He was so distressed that he almost cried. This time, the loss was huge!
"I want to send an edict to King Jing, who is overseeing the country, and ask the imperial court to send heavenly troops to conquer the Jiarong bandits!"
??
"Pa!"
Sichuan Governor Chen Bangyan was so angry that he broke the teacup and hurried to find Sichuan Governor Fan Yiheng.
Fan Yiheng knew it and asked: "Why is your Majesty so angry?"
"Mr. Fan, have you read the two official documents sent by the Sichuan Capital Patrol Division?"
"Lingye refers to the rebellion of the Bai family in Weilong Prefecture and the robbery of the Jiarong cavalry. I have read it."
"In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Bai Qisheng, the chieftain of Weilong, the capital of Sichuan, joined forces with Tushe Baima, Bai Chaofeng, etc., colluded with Huichuan local officials, rebelled against us and proclaimed the king of the Ming Dynasty. A small local chief with only thousands of soldiers and horses actually dared to proclaim himself the king.
! Luo Xiong and Anmeng have not been able to pacify them for several years. They are really useless. This time, the Jiarong people invaded, but these two people did nothing. I think we should send a general to the town to protect the border.
Yu".
Fan Yiheng pondered: "But there are not many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou now. There are only ten thousand people in your and my standard camp, plus some surrendered troops."
"I want to appoint Yang Bingyin as the deputy general of Xingdu Division in Sichuan. He will lead 10,000 troops and go to Xingdu Division to deal with the Bai family rebels and Jiarong people."
"This Yang Bingyin is a bandit from the Thirteen Yaohuang clan. I entrust this important town to him. I am afraid that his banditry will be hard to change!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fan. I think Yang Bingyin has surrendered his heart and has placed his family members in Luzhou. I hope he won't rebel again."
"Oh, a fierce horse still needs to be equipped with a secondary rein, which is a foolproof strategy."
"You can order Qian Bangqi, the patrol officer, to go with him."
"Well, Young Master Youkai looks at Yang Bingyin, and I feel relieved!"
Chen Bangyan ordered Yang Bingyin and Qian Bangqi to lead an army of 10,000 to Xingdusi, Sichuan, to defeat the Bai rebels and intimidate the eight Jiarong tribes.
Before leaving, he specifically told Yang Bingyin: "General Yang, a hero regardless of his origin. This time he will guard the important border area for the imperial court. The general must cherish the opportunity!"
Yang Bingyin originally thought that he would never be able to succeed after his surrender, but unexpectedly he was entrusted with an important task. He was extremely grateful.
"Don't worry Futai, Yang Bingyin, the original 'second sentry' who swayed the Huang Thirteen Family, is dead. Now there is only Ming Dynasty deputy general Yang Bingyin."
Yang Bingyin came to Sichuan Xingdusi, and with the help of Miyi chieftain Zhang Hongyang, he defeated the Weilong and Huichuan rebels who had been running rampant for several years in less than a month. He killed Bai Qisheng, Baima, Bai Chaofeng and others.
After cleaning up the rebels, he transferred to Ningfan Guards.
Yang Bingyin, who was born a bandit, doesn't know what it means to swallow his anger.
Damn it, if you dare to come to Ming Dynasty’s place to rob you, Ming Dynasty will take it back.
Yang Bingyin led his troops to loot several villages owned by Bu'erjixi, the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, and Qujingshen, the chieftain of Wasi, and robbed 500 households of their residents.
Sang Jiepeng was shocked when he heard the news: Isn't the Ming army at war with the Qing Dynasty and Shadingzhou? How can they have the strength to fight back? He was afraid that the matter would get serious and affect the tea-horse trade. He ordered his subordinates to guard the pass and not take the initiative to attack. .
The story of Yang Bingyin's counterattack to rob Jiarong Eight Divisions spread to Xuzhou.
Fan Yiheng was shocked: "My Ming Dynasty is at war with the Tartars and Shadingzhou, and we must never fight with the Tufan people again. This Yang Bingyin does not guard the defensive position, but instead robs the Jiarong people and is good at starting border provocations. He is harming the country!"
Chen Bangyan said: "Mr. Fan, the Jiarong people grabbed us first. If we don't fight back, they will underestimate the Ming Dynasty! I think General Yang did a good job this time. He not only declared our Ming Dynasty's national prestige, but also grasped the proportion. No. Big fight".
"Oh! I'm afraid if the news reaches the ears of the prison country, they will blame us for causing trouble!"
Chen Bangyan smiled: "Mr. Fan, you have been in Sichuan for a long time, and you don't know the temper of the country. Your Highness is a talented and strategic man, and he is never afraid of causing trouble."
??
"Bang!"
Zhu Hengjia was so angry that he slapped the imperial case.
"This Chen Bangyan is so bold that he brings trouble to Gu! Gu's army has won consecutive battles in Yunnan, and is about to conquer Shadingzhou. What are you going to do to provoke the Tubo people at this time? You are good at starting border quarrels. If the Ming Dynasty and the Tubo people If we start a fight, won't we be helping the sand thieves?"
Huang Libin pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Highness, who are you scolding?"
"Who else can I scold, Chen Bangyan? Gu Gu praised him for his loyalty and bravery before, but now it seems that Zhuzi is too courageous and a troublemaker! He actually sent troops to counterattack Jiarong Babu! It's terrible, it's terrible, things are going to get big!"
"Hehe!"
Huang Wan couldn't help laughing.
"Wan'er, why are you laughing?"
"I feel that Chen Futai's temperament is really similar to yours!"
Zhu Hengjia was happy when he thought about it.
I was like this back then, too audacious and doing random things. My father, Prince Rongmu of Jingjiang, did a lot of good work for my family.
It’s true, if there is a king, there must be a minister!
Wan'er really understands Gu, and with just a few words, Gu is relieved.
Zhu Hengjia took a look at Huang Wan. Huang Libin, who had given birth to a child, was much plumper than before, and her skin was as delicate and smooth as cream.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?"
"Wan'er is so beautiful!"
Huang Wan blushed.
Zhu Hengjia hugged Huang Wan and kissed her face as pink as white jade.
"Your Highness!"
Huang Libin coquettishly turned her pink face into a peach blossom with embarrassment.
Without saying a word, the big-tailed wolf hugged Huang Wan and walked to the palace.
??
In Ziguang Pavilion, Zhu Hengjia summoned six great scholars in Guilin, including Guan Shouzhen, Sun Jinding, He Wuzuo, Su Guansheng, Zeng Daowei, and Zheng Feng, to consult about Tibet.
"Dear elders, this time the Eight Tribunals of Jiarong sent envoys to ask Gu Zhong to open the Tea Horse Division. Is it right or not?"
The gatekeeper Zhen, who was in charge of the household department, immediately said: "To supervise the country, re-establishing the tea and horse department will not only harmonize relations with Tibet, but also expand the country's tax sources. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people! Please be at Linguan in Yazhou , the fortress of Tianquan Sixth Division, the Ningfan Guards of Xingdu Division in Sichuan, the Waru Division of Yongning Prefecture in Yunnan, and the Fifth Division of Chief Ade in Lijiang Prefecture, established tea and horse departments, which were managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Zeng Daowei said: "I second the proposal. In the past, when Taizu and Chengzu established two divisions and one government in Tibet, they were allowed to pay tribute and trade tea and horses. This not only ensured peace, increased taxes and money, but also got the money that our Ming Dynasty was in short supply. War horse. Kill three birds with one stone!"
All the other bachelors agree.
It can not only appease the border areas, increase fiscal revenue, but also get war horses. Zhu Hengjia knew it, this is a good thing. We must do it!
"Dear elders, I don't know much about Tibetan affairs. You and other knowledgeable and talented ministers can help me to find out more about how our government appeases Tibet."
In order to show their knowledge, the bachelors answered questions one after another.
"In supervising the country, Taizu followed the old system of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, all local officials were given their old positions. In the west of Tibet, there was the Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion of Oris, in the middle of Tibet, there was the Us Tibetan Dusi, and in the east of Tibet, there was the Duogan Dusi, in charge of Tibet. , Qinghai and other places”.
"Taizu, when I became the ancestor, the Ming army could enter and leave Tibet freely. All the chieftains paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and recruited war horses. The Ming Dynasty also opened eight tea and horse departments to allow trade."
"My Ming Dynasty also used Tibetan Buddhism to win over Tibet. During the Yongle period, during the Xuande period, the "three great Dharma kings", the Dharma King of the Great Treasure, the Dharma King of the Great Compassion, and the Mahayana Dharma King were conferred, as well as the King of Chanhua, the King of Protectors, the King of Praise, the King of Assistant Teaching, and the King of Chan. He taught the five kings, and also conferred a number of great national teachers, national teachers and Zen masters."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hengjia became interested.
"Which sect of Tibetan Buddhism do these three Dharma Kings and Five Kings believe in? In what area of Tibet are they located? How many people do they have? How many soldiers and horses do they have?"
"??"
The elegant bird is silent.
"I heard that the Gelug sect is now very powerful in Tibet. There are two living Buddhas, the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. In what area of Tibet are they located?"
"??"
The elegant bird is silent.
"The fifth Dalai Lama led Gushi Khan from the Oirat Mongolia and Shuote tribe in Qinghai into Lhasa. This Gushi Khan colluded with the Tartars and was a powerful enemy of our Ming Dynasty. Please tell me how many tribes, population, soldiers and horses there are in the Oirat Mongolia. ?Then what kind of person is Gushi Khan?"
"??"
It was silent again.
Zhu Hengjia's face darkened. Well, all of them are dignified bachelors with extensive knowledge. When asked about specific affairs in Tibet, they didn't know anything about it!
After a long while, Su Guansheng blushed with embarrassment and replied: "Supervisor, since the Ming Dynasty abolished the Wuszang Dusi in the 46th year of Wanli, he has not interfered much in Tibetan affairs. Rong Chen will go back and check the historical records before replying to the Supervisor." .
Yes, there are things that bachelors don’t know, so Zhu Hengjia agreed.
"To supervise the country, the minister recommends one person who is familiar with Tibetan affairs", He Wuzuo said.
"Oh, who is it?"
"Lü Daqi, the Minister of War of the Longwu Dynasty and a bachelor of Dongge University. This person is from Sichuan and is familiar with Qinghai-Tibet affairs. A while ago, Zhu Rongfan, the puppet king of Chu, conspired to rebel. He recruited Li Zhanchun and two generals in the sea to supervise the country. Great job!"
As soon as He Wuzuo said it, Zhu Hengjia immediately remembered it.
At first, Lu Daqi wanted to defect to him, but he did not reuse him because later generations read history books and said that he liked to form cliques for personal gain and was particularly repulsive to peasant army generals who surrendered.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter. When it comes to having a bad reputation, can anyone have a worse reputation than Ma Jixiang? I used Ma Jixiang as a royal guard to direct people's affairs, and I did it very well. It seems that I have been wronged by history!
"He Qing, where is Lu Daqi?"
"He persuaded Li Zhanchun to surrender on behalf of the prison country. Yu Dahai is on his way to Xijing. He is expected to return to Guilin soon."
"Okay, wait until he returns to Beijing and bring him to see him immediately."
Seeing that Zhu Hengjia's mood improved, Zheng Feng stepped forward and said: "Supervise the country, I think that the Jiarong people dare to rob our Ming Dynasty this time, mainly because I think that the Ming Dynasty is fighting fiercely with Sha Dingzhou and is unable to defeat them. I think that Sha Ding should be eliminated as soon as possible. Continent, so as not to be coveted."
Zhu Hengjia nodded: "What Zheng Qing said is true. Chuangu's order was given to Shi Qiwen, asking him to quickly destroy Shadingzhou."
