"What, the thousand cavalry sent out are gone again!" the leader of Aluo's troops shouted angrily.
In the big tent, several other leaders also looked at each other. The situation this time was beyond their imagination.
In the past, they sent troops to besiege the city, and then each tribe sent a few people to go out to burn, kill and loot, and then went back to spend the winter while they were grabbing supplies.
Now, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of people were separated, they all disappeared. The key point is that they are all cavalry! Under what circumstances will no one come back?
Is there still a cavalry team of ten thousand people wandering around in the Ming Dynasty? Or is there something strange?
The leaders looked outside the tent. The night was deep and as black as ink.
This is the land of the Ming Dynasty. It used to be their pasture, but now it is like a black abyss constantly devouring their soldiers.
After a long silence, the leader of Aluo's troops asked: "What do you think? Do we need to continue sending troops? If we send more troops, we will not have enough troops. I am afraid that the soldiers in Datong City will come out. It is said that there are 100,000 soldiers in this city."
Army!"
The leaders looked at each other.
The leader of the Maolihai tribe was the first to say: "Winter is coming, and the supplies are almost gone. How about we go back?"
The other leaders were also moved when they heard this.
Why do they go out to clear grass and grain every year? One is to train soldiers; the other is to grab food and women; and the last is to eliminate those in the tribe who cannot deal with them.
Now that the mission has been completed, and winter is coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, and they may not be able to leave if they don't leave.
…
On the fourth day, early in the morning, Yang Xin got up and went to the hall to work, while listening to music and dancing.
He is the commander-in-chief of Datong. If there is someone in the court, as long as the city of Datong is not lost, it will be a credit! As for the life and death of the people outside, is it as important as his black hat?
If he was ambushed by Tatars when leaving the city and lost his army, how would he explain it? If the city was lost again, how would he explain it?
So he has always believed in one thing: as long as he doesn't do it, it won't be wrong!
"Report! General Yang, the Tatars have retreated!" a soldier shouted.
Yang Xin was overjoyed and took out the battle report he had prepared long ago from his arms: "Quick, quick, hurry up for eight hundred miles, tell your Majesty that I, the Datong sergeant, are not afraid of death. We fought bloody battles and defended the city for three months, killing countless enemies."
Bai, finally guarded our border with the Ming Dynasty."
"yes!"
After the soldiers left, Yang Xin walked directly to the group of dancing girls, without any courtesy, holding a pen in his hand and playing a flute in his mouth.
"Hahaha, keep playing music, keep dancing!"
...
At the gate of Datong City, the soldiers were also cheering and celebrating. Of course everyone was happy to have saved another dog's life.
Although according to usual practice, they received no reward at all, maybe Shangguan was in a good mood and gave them some drinks, but it was better to live and die.
"Boom, boom~" Suddenly, a group of cavalry came from a distance, their momentum was like a rainbow.
The cheering soldiers stopped immediately. Could it be that the Tatars were fighting back?
I saw thousands of cavalrymen in the distance, each with at least two horses, galloping to the city gate. Then they reined up the horses for the leading guard in navy unicorn uniforms, and thousands of horses behind them came to an emergency stop.
The movements are neat and uniform, just like one person.
Such military appearance and military discipline made the city gate guard swallow his saliva.
"Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Sir Jiang Yuyan, came to inspect, but he didn't even open the door to greet him!" Yu Mian came out and shouted, arrogantly.
The young city guard was stunned: "Wait a minute, we'll report it!"
There have been cases where the city gate has been fraudulently opened before, but he didn't dare to make the decision.
An hour later, Yang Xin, who was so drunk, went up to the city wall and was about to carefully distinguish the unicorn uniform. He saw the leader of the Jin Yiwei raising his head and meeting those black eyes. In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck by a sledgehammer.
His head was buzzing with a buzzing sound.
"Whoosh~" A golden token was inserted deep into the city wall, right in front of him.
Yang Xin swallowed his saliva. The city wall was thirty meters high and made of a single piece of bluestone. The strength of the visitor was beyond his ability to predict.
After struggling to pull out the gold medal, he took it into his hand and took a look: "It feels like I am here in person!" Four big characters came into view.
Yang Xin broke into a cold sweat and shouted: "Open the city gate, open the city gate!"
"But!" The young general still wanted to make a decision.
"But what, drive quickly! If it's too late, I'll chop your head off!"
"yes!"
…
In the evening, there was singing and dancing in the general hall.
"Master Commander, you've been tired from the journey. Come here, let me offer you a toast!" Yang Xin bent down and offered a toast, very politely.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the delicacies on the table, then thought of the tattered clothes and weapons of the gatekeepers, and shook her head.
Some people can eat people, and they really feel comfortable eating.
Jiang Yuyan picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Hahaha, come, let's all have a drink tonight. The Tatars have just left. According to common sense, we can live a stable life for a winter."
"Okay!" the remaining generals shouted.
At the gate of the city, the guard sergeants looked enviously at the bright lights, singing and dancing at the General Military Mansion in the distance. However, each of them was only given a white-flour steamed bun and a small pot of wine.
A Jinyiwei came over, approached him and whispered: "Brother, have you ever heard of Jinyiwei?"
The guard sergeant was stunned.
Then, in military fields, warehouses, and military camps, hundreds of Jin Yiwei walked quietly beside the lower-level sergeants and asked quietly: "Brother, do you know Jin Yiwei?"
General Hall.
"It's not good, Lord General. The Jinyiwei and tens of thousands of border troops have surrounded the General's Mansion!" A loyal soldier rushed in to report.
Yang Xin was stunned and looked at Jiang Yuyan, who was still drinking slowly in the first place. The girl's fair and tender face actually had a hint of blush.
Asked: "Master Commander, what do you mean?"
Saying that, Yang Xin quietly drew his sword. He was a warrior, so if the court really wanted to attack him, it would be impossible to capture him without mercy.
Jiang Yuyan raised her eyes, her eyes focused.
"boom!"
Yang Xin flew five meters away and hit the wall.
"A person like you is worthy of drawing a sword with me?" After saying that, Jiang Yuyan stood up slowly.
The other generals looked at Yang Xin and immediately took a few steps back.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at them contemptuously, went out, and waved back.
Xiao Yu'er understood the idea and immediately shouted: "Brothers, if you have a grudge, take revenge, if you have a grudge, kill!"
"kill!"
"Meow meow!" It seemed like something strange had been mixed in.
Two days later, Jiang Yuyan left the city and headed to the next big city with thousands of royal guards.
On the city wall, Yu Mian looked at their uniform and powerful backs from a distance. Looking inside the city, the lower-level sergeants stood on the high platform one by one to complain and complain, and the crowd was furious.
The sergeants in the audience also echoed loudly.
He suddenly felt that the lifeless Jiubian seemed to suddenly come to life.
Everyone is back!
He is even looking forward to the Tatar invasion next year.
Fight? Who has I, Daming, been afraid of?
…
Kyoto, court.
There has been a lot of noise here today.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yuyan killed dozens of generals from the Nine Sides for no reason within half a month. She is going to rebel!"
"That's right, the Jinyiwei power is too large and bloated. Please ask Your Majesty to reduce the number, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
…
Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground below the court, Emperor Tianshun had no expression on his face, even looking at a bunch of trash.
"What, do you ladies want to force you into the palace?"
Hearing this, the ministers below immediately trembled. This Emperor Tianshun was insane and anyone would dare to cut him.
"No evidence? Why, you couldn't see the memorial sent by Jin Yiwei to the Ministry of War, right?
A total of 200,000 troops are watching helplessly as the people on all sides of the Ming Dynasty are slaughtered and robbed. What are those generals doing?
Listening to songs, dancing, and even annexing the farmland of the border troops, paying wages, and even daring to sell ordnance to the Tatars.
If my royal guards don't go, will they also give away my Ming Dynasty's land?
Ah? My dear friends, do you think so?" Zhu Qizhen asked in a deep voice.
Suddenly the ministers did not dare to say another word.
Why is it so hard to cheat this time? In the past, reporting meritorious service in defending the city and killing 300 enemies would satisfy Emperor Tianshun.
In the next morning, Zhu Qizhen rushed back to his study angrily.
"A bunch of trash who only know how to fight among themselves!" After cursing, Zhu Qizhen glanced at Liu Xi next to him.
"What surprise does Jiang Yuyan give me this time?"
Liu Xi lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty, last time Jiang Yuyan led thousands of imperial guards to kill more than 4,000 enemies. The bandit leader has returned with good luck and will be exhibited at the Meridian Gate for three days and finally burned.
This move will definitely boost the power of our Ming army!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded, Jiang Yuyan was quite capable, and his military exploits in half a month were more than the hundreds of thousands of troops from all nine sides had this year.
"By the way, Jiang Yuyan also sent back the evidence that the slain generals had embezzled money and violated the law, and asked Your Majesty to review it."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I won't read it. I feel upset after reading it."
If everyone has already been killed, why should we look at the evidence?
Liu Xi said carefully: "In total, there are about more than 500,000 taels of silver, more than 10,000 taels of gold, other treasures, and countless war horses."
Zhu Qizhen was stunned and pondered for a moment: "Well, very good, send them all to the inner treasury for me, I want to check them carefully!"
"yes!"
Liu Xi then carefully took out a piece of crystal clear jade from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yuyan also found a rare treasure in General Yang's house. It is said that the Tatar leader gave it to General Yang. He hoped that he would stay in the city and watch the Tatar troops plunder."
"This national thief!" Zhu Qizhen cursed, took the jade, and seemed to have an inexplicable cool power pouring into his mind, and then he became energetic.
It is indeed a rare treasure, and it has such miraculous effects?
Only then did Zhu Qizhen take a closer look at the jade. The stone was as transparent as crystal glass, but the key was a golden filament in the middle. At first glance, it was not ordinary.
"What's the saying about this jade?" Zhu Qizhen turned over it and couldn't put it down.
Liu Xi raised his head slightly to pay attention to the emperor's expression, and felt happy and stabilized.
"Your Majesty, it is said that this jade is from a Tatar leader who was bathing in their holy river one day. A golden dragon flew through the sky. The leader quickly led an army of 100,000 people to chase it for thirty miles, and finally only picked up this piece of jade.
Before I came here, I asked Qin Tianjian to take a look at it, and he said that the golden thread in the middle of the jade stone is the condensed destiny of heaven and earth, and holding it can increase the destiny of the country and prolong life!"
Seeing that Emperor Tianshun was getting happier and happier, Liu Xi quickly knelt down and said, "I congratulate your majesty, congratulations to your majesty.
Your Majesty has now obtained this valuable treasure. Under your leadership, our Ming Dynasty will open up new territories and expand our territory. All nations will come to court and become an emperor for the ages!"
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Tianshun was delighted: "This Jiang Yuyan is really an important minister of my Ming Dynasty."
"Come here, give me a reward! Appoint Jiang Yuyan as the temporary governor of the Nine Borders, and command the Nine Border Guards to make the following generals. They can be killed first and then reported!"
"yes!"
After the reward, Zhu Qizhen was in a good mood. As long as Jiang Yuyan could regain Jiubian, killing a few generals would not matter.
Just kill his son!
...
Late at night, Dongji Smuggling Factory.
Liu Xi returned to the bedroom and looked at the gift list in her hand, feeling very satisfied.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, a lucky jade stone, and the magical power of grafting flowers and grafting trees that he had only dreamed of!
This was the reason why he always stood on Jiang Yuyan's side.
Once he has mastered the art of grafting flowers on others, he will have no rival in this world except Jiang Yuyan. Then he can do whatever he wants to do?
A slave? He doesn’t want to be a slave anymore!
Liu Xi was stunned when he opened the secret book of transplanting flowers and grafting trees.
"If you want to practice this skill, you must first abolish it?"
…
Tianshun eight years, autumn harvest.
Yu Mian looked at the large fields of sweet potatoes and potatoes and was very excited.
What the commander said was indeed correct. The yield of this new crop cultivated from Suzhou Prefecture is surprisingly high, with the yield per mu being as high as three thousand kilograms.
And the requirements for rainwater and land are not high.
You must know that if rice is grown in a general field, more than 300 kilograms is considered a high yield. In this way, the same land can feed more than ten people.
With these crops, even if the imperial court does not distribute food and salary, Jiubian can still live well on their own.
"Boom~" Smoke and dust were flying in the distance.
Yu Mian turned around and saw a little yellow cat taking the lead and letting loose on the ground, followed by hundreds of wild horses and dozens of big wolves.
Shake his head and continue to observe the food.
He had seen this scene many times over the years. This cat would run wildly across the desert with a group of animals.
Of course, these animals have also made many illustrious military exploits.
Last winter, the imperial court did not distribute food or salary, so Lord Jiang Yuyan simply took the soldiers to the grasslands to grab them.
They robbed cattle, sheep and horses to use as meat to increase nutrition for the soldiers to practice ordinary Yuan-building skills, and robbed weapons, bows and arrows to train the soldiers.
With gold and wolves as their guide, the Ming army came and went like the wind, and the Tatar tribe could not find the enemy even after grinding their teeth.
Of course, what makes Yu Mian strange is that Suzhou Prefecture has been sending various supplies here, including canned fruits that make the soldiers salivate.
In the important towns in the north, this is a real rarity.
The key point is that it’s not surprising that Suzhou Prefecture sent things over, but how did these materials get through the many checkpoints?
Yu Mian fell into deep thought. Could it be that many of the ministers in the court were on the side of the Commander-in-Chief?
Those dog officers are really smart!
"Husband, it's time to eat!"
"Hey, here we come!" Yu Mian looked at his wife calling for dinner in the distance and ran over quickly.
"Be careful, you have a big belly." Yu Mian carefully supported his wife.
"It's okay. Lady Yuyan has personally helped me with the treatment, and she even said it's a boy. Husband, you have a child in our family." Mrs. Zhang said happily.
"Yeah!" Yu Mian nodded solemnly.
…
Shanxi Prefecture, Datong, warehouse.
Xiao Yu'er is making overall plans for Jiubian's food and grass distribution, as well as the distribution of meat donated by various tribes.
Because they could not deal with the Netherworld Black Cavalry led by Jiang Yuyan, several tribes close to the Ming Dynasty directly chose to pay tribute.
Please stop hitting me, why don't I give it to you?
Xu Dabai quietly approached Xiao Yu'er and looked around.
As a top swordsman who can compete with Fairy Yuyan, he is as cold as ice when silent, his profile is as sharp as a knife, and his temperament is outstanding, making him very popular with ordinary girls.
But he still couldn't forget Hua Xingnu, a woman with eyes above her head, not because she was beautiful, not because she was clean, had a good temperament, and had a good figure, but just because of three words: unwilling!
Top swordsmen are stubborn in nature. With a knife in hand, they will move forward indomitably.
He swore that he would marry this woman back into his family and teach her a lesson so that she could experience his unpredictable sword skills!
"Zhen Fu, is there any way to make girls remember me forever?"
Xiaoyuer turned his head, glanced at him, and gave him a good suggestion.
"Is it any use if you buy this or that for a girl and coax her back and forth? In a few days or if she meets someone better, she will turn around and forget about you.
Listen to what I say and punch her in the face a few times, and she will remember you when she dies!"
