Chapter 1202 North-South News
In the middle of June, the sun was scorching, and the willow trees on both sides of the official road were so dry that they were drooping. The cicadas under the tree were clamoring, which made people feel so upset that they were smoking. At this moment, a fast horse rode through the rolling yellow dust. The strong wind raised countless willow branches. The cicadas under the tree were frightened and immediately pissed and flew away.
drive……
The sound of horse hooves rolled straight to the outside of Bucheng Gate in the capital, and then passed by the door. The postman immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Good news! General Pinglu, Duke Jingguo defeated the Wala, and put stones on Yanran Mountain to carve the achievements of the Wala, and spread the border for thousands of miles. Good news..."
The busy streets of the capital were instantly boiling. People ran around and cheered, and they called them nicknames. Duke Jingguo won the battle again! Duke Jingguo won the battle again!
Since February this year, Duke Jingguo Xu Jin took over the Northern Expedition, and good news has been frequently reported. Every time, the people in the capital are like a festival, and the national self-esteem and pride are overwhelming. The literati sang and drank wildly, and all kinds of heroic frontier poems sprung out like mushrooms after a rain. It can be foreseeable that the news of Duke Jingguo Xu Jin sang stone carvings on Yanran Mountain will be a carnival feast for literati. Those who have a way are ready to move and inquire about the content of Duke Jingguo's stone carvings on Yanran Mountain.
Of course, the one who was lucky enough to have a sneak peek was undoubtedly Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong. This kid was happily gnawing watermelon in the Yangxin Hall, and the good news was sent to the palace.
"Emperor, good news, good news, Duke Jingguo defeated the Wala, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and put stones on Yanran Mountain to carve the stones!" The eunuch Chang Huaien, the eunuch of the Sili Priest, walked in quickly with joy on his face.
Jiajing threw away the half-chewed watermelon in his hand, jumped up excitedly, and said anxiously: "Where is the good news? Hurry up, let me see!"
Just as Eunuch Chang was about to show off his good news, he suddenly stopped and coughed and reminded him: "Your Majesty might as well cleanse your hands first."
Only then did Jiajing realize that his hands were covered with red watermelon juice, and laughed and said, "Fortunately, you old guy reminded me that if you get rid of the work, the suckers of Kedao should take advantage of the issue."
Chang Huai'en couldn't help but smile and ordered the eunuchs to bring a golden plate to clean the emperor's face. After cleaning it, Jiajing couldn't wait to get the memorial, with four copies, one submitted by Xu Jin, the other submitted by Huang Jin, the third was the negotiation contract text with Oirat, and the fourth was the memorial requested by Sanhad and Tocharo.
Jiajing first opened Xu Jin's memoir, and after reading it, he couldn't help but dance. Then he opened Huang Jin's memoir, and he was instantly excited as if he was drunk, and laughed: "Okay, haha, that's great."
Xu Jin's memorial book objectively and specifically describes the process of reaching an agreement with the Oirats, so it seems relatively plain, while Huang Jin's memorial book is different. After all, this guy is specialized in flattery, so he adds fuel to the fire. He writes itchy in Jiajing, so Jiajing is so happy that he feels like he has taken two pounds of chicken blood, and it is comfortable from head to toe!
At this time, Jiajing finally read the poem Xu Jin had inscribed stones on Yanran Mountain, and couldn't help but recite it:
"The Tatar cavalry often peeked at the edge and jumped into the north. The yellow dust rolled outside the yin mountains, covered with barbarians and barbarians, covered with wolf smoke. They broke through flag chariots and drums, and wore armor and horns. They hesitated that Wei Wuwei waved his whip and recorded Yanran. Jiangning Jing inherited the customs day, pointed to the capital, and praised the triumphant. The Ming Dynasty was passed down for hundreds of generations, and my emperor's succession has been for a thousand years."
After Jiajing finished reciting this poem, his handsome face was so excited that he was red. He shook his head and said, "What a stone Yanran, hehe!"
Eunuch Chang said with a flattering face and smiled: "Duke Jingguo is worthy of being the best talent to win the five-yuan Tanhua title in a row. This one of the frontier poems can be called the number one person in the literary world of the Ming Dynasty."
Jiajing said with a smile: "This poem is just as good as it is, but it is good to flatter you, I like it. The Ming Dynasty was passed down for a hundred generations, and my emperor's succession has been for thousands of years. Hahaha, it is well written!"
Under the careful training of King Xing Zhu Youze, Jiajing has been well-read since childhood. His level of writing poetry may not be very good, but his level of appreciation of poetry is still online. Xu Jin's frontier lyrics can only be considered to be medium and above, which is far inferior to the previous poem "The Rolling Yangtze River Flows East".
Eunuch Chang laughed dryly and said, "Dude Jingguo is invincible and defeated in every battle. He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. He is truly a role model for all the ministers."
Jiajing said happily: "Xu Qing accomplished everything. This time he has built a huge territory for me. How should I reward you? It's a headache!"
Jiajing said, but his face showed a leisurely and fascinated look. He wished he could cross the space and come to the foot of Yanran Mountain in person to work with Xu Jin and the generals to carve stones.
Eunuch Chang was very tactful and did not interrupt. If you talk too much about this level of topic, it would cause trouble if you didn't do it well. Xu Jin is now a Duke of the State and his military position has reached its peak. He will be awarded the title of king, but the Ming Dynasty has never given a living king of a different surname, unless the emperor breaks the ancestral system, so it is better not to interfere with this kind of thing, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be criticized by the civil officials.
Jiajing held the rubbing of "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription" and was fascinated for a long time. Then he ordered people to frame it, and then continued to read the peace agreement happily, as well as the memorial for the entrustment of Sanhad and Toro.
There is an old saying: Blessings are unparalleled, and blessings are not only carried out alone, but there are also times when two joys come and good things come together.
It was a coincidence that just as Jiajing was happily reading Xu Jin's good news, another good news was also sent to the Ministry of War. The 800-mile fast news came from Zhennan Pass, Guangxi. The person who reported the victory was the loyal and brave man Yu Dayou.
By the way, did Zhang Cong offer an idea to ask the emperor to order Yu Dayou, who had returned from Malacca, to lead the navy into the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi to intimidate Mo Chao of Annan?
As the saying goes, no coincidence is possible, just as Jiajing's imperial edict was conveyed, the returning fleet led by Yu Dayou happened to arrive in Guangzhou Prefecture and rest and replenish supplies locally.
Yu Dayou just took the imperial edict and immediately raised his sail to the sea, turned around and drove into the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi, near Annan, and sent people to Shenglong, the capital of Annan Kingdom to convey the imperial edict of Jiajing, and ordered Mo Dengyong, the ruler of Annan Mo Dynasty, to return the throne to the capital of Daming, and personally went to the capital of Daming to apologize to the Emperor of Daming.
Annan is just a small country. It has been China's territory since the Han and Tang Dynasties. It was only later split. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was independent again during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, it was still one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. In the face of the powerful Ming Dynasty, Annan was just a weak ant.
So Mo Dengyong, the ruler of Annan Mo Dynasty, was frightened when he heard that the Ming Navy appeared near the sea. However, he was unwilling to give up. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. Not only did he not surrender or apologize, he also organized soldiers to resist, and secretly sent people to search for the descendants of the Li family across the country, killing all the descendants of the Li family, and exterminated the descendants of the Li family. It was cruel enough!
When Yu Dayou heard this, he was furious and immediately ordered an attack. In front of the powerful Ming Navy, the broken ships in Annan were like paper and were wiped out in less than half a day. Then the Ming fleet swept across the coast, and captured the capital of Annan Shenglong in three days, capturing Mo Dengyong, the ruler of Mo Chao alive, and even the court officials and family members were in a bunch.
It was Mo Dengyong, who was captured alive and cried and knelt down to the ground in order to survive, and took the initiative to offer Annan's land book and household registration book, begging for surrender, and was willing to dedicate the Annan land to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for his life.
(Note: This is a real event that happened in history. In the 18th year of Jiajing, Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass in Guangxi to request surrender, and presented Annan land book and household registration to the Ming Dynasty. On the third day of November of the 19th year of Jiajing, Mo Dengyong and dozens of ministers tied up and knelt down, entered Zhennan Pass to request surrender to the Ming Dynasty officials. From the beginning, Annan was demoted to the Annan Commander of the Ming Dynasty. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, Annan belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.)
Jiajing's imperial edict asked Mo Dengyong to return the throne to the Li family. Now Mo Dengyong has actually dedicated his territory to the Ming Dynasty, so Yu Dayou was not sure of his decision, so he wrote an 800-mile-acre victory report to the capital for instructions.
