In the eighth year of Tianshun, it is the middle of autumn.
Ming Dynasty Kyoto, imperial court.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough~" Emperor Tianshun on the dragon throne coughed violently several times, and his face suddenly turned rosy.
"My dear friends, I don't have much time left. Ahem...here, I declare that the Ninth Prince Zhu Jianzhi, the son of Concubine Feng, will be crown prince and he will succeed to the throne at a chosen date!"
After saying this, Emperor Tianshun's eyes gradually brightened. At this moment, he seemed to see the future, where everyone of his people would be well fed and warmly clothed.
History even gave him a fair evaluation, neither good nor bad.
"Poof~" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Emperor Tianshun fell to the ground directly.
"Your Majesty!" The court collapsed in an instant, and everyone rushed up together.
The ministers who were originally prepared to argue with the emperor were also panicked. If this was the emperor's last order, how could they make the eldest prince the crown prince?
The name is unfair! Are you going to kill everyone above the court?
The world is about to change drastically.
...
Shanxi Prefecture, Datong, Zongbing Yamen.
In the dining room, two people and a cat are eating happily.
Then the maid brought another dish, Su Ying quickly opened it and took out a piece of fish head from it.
Miao Le was stunned: "Meow?"
Why are you so polite today?
Su Ying blushed: "I like to eat fish heads,"
Hearing this, Miao Le was greatly moved. He still remembered that his mother said the same thing every time he ate fish when he was a child, and then gave him the best fish belly meat.
After thinking for a while, Miao Le silently crossed out item 120 in his notebook.
The above content is as follows: On the second night of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Tianshun, Su Ying secretly urinated in the river while bathing with the poop shoveler, polluting the fish in the river. This is an unforgivable crime!
When Jiang Yuyan opened the lid of the dish, Miao Le looked at the pile of chopped peppers left on the plate, and then looked at the big fish head in Su Ying's mouth, lost in thought.
After a while.
"Meow wow!" Jiang Yuyan quickly grabbed the little yellow cat's tail to prevent the two beasts from fighting again.
The tail was grabbed, and Miao was delighted. This feeling was like blowing air into the ears, scraping the neck with a barber blade, gently scraping the spine with fingernails, and rubbing the edges with traditional techniques. The little yellow cat took a breath of cold air.
"Brother Le, don't worry, I'll give you one of the next dishes!"
Miao Le then stopped, retracted his tail, and then glanced triumphantly at Su Ying on the other side of the shovel.
The shit shovel still loves me!
Half a quarter of an hour later, the maid came over and asked respectfully: "Master Commander, are you finished eating? Do you need to clear the table?"
Miao Le:......
Huang Ying jumped on Su Ying and started beating her.
Give me back the fish head!
In an instant, messy pieces of clothing were flying across the room.
"Ah, Sister Yuyan, help me, Brother Le pulled off my clothes!"
Jiang Yuyan was very helpless, why do some people always tease others when they are clearly not strong enough?
"Master Commander, I have two letters from you." Someone outside reported.
Jiang Yuyan frowned and took out the letter from the hands of the men outside.
"Go down."
"yes!"
Without checking, Jiang Yuyan opened the letter at will.
Over the past year, she has gained tens of thousands of kilograms of strength and compressed her internal strength four times. Her strength has completely surpassed that of ordinary people, and ordinary toxins have no effect on her at all.
Even if Su Ying gave her an aphrodisiac last time, it could easily suppress the unknown substance that exploded in her body.
She is no longer a mortal.
"Sister Yuyan personally declares:
Long time no see, sister Yuyan’s heavenly fragrance and beautiful appearance have always stayed in my heart. Sister, I am now in the inner palace, just like a bird in a cage. If you have time, sister, please come and see me. Let’s talk about it as sisters.
A narration of family life.
Because my father and mother are not in good health, I have sent people to escort them to Guilin for recuperation, so there is no need to worry about my sister.
Since I became a mother, I have realized that what my father and mother did to my sister at that time was really excessive. Here, I would also like to apologize to you on behalf of my father and mother, hoping to gain my sister's forgiveness.
Finally, I want to tell my sister the good news that your eldest nephew has been named the crown prince! He will ascend the throne in the near future, and when the time comes, I will ask him to make his sister the King of Zhenbei.
Other provisions, military pay, etc. will be delivered in a few days, just to support my sister's career.
Finally, I wish my sister good health and live a beautiful life every day."
After reading the letter, Jiang Yuyan smiled and opened another one.
It happened to be sent by Concubine Zhou, who promised that she would just watch indifferently, and when the eldest prince ascended the throne, he would make her the King of Northern Xinjiang.
"Sister Yuyan, what are you looking at?" Su Ying, who was already dressed in beggar's clothes, approached Jiang Yuyan and asked curiously.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at the white and tender buttocks, and then slapped her: "Call me Prince from now on!"
Su Ying burst into tears, covered her back, and whispered: "My lord, you are so evil!"
Miao Le jumped on the shoulders of the shit shoveler and said angrily: "Meow!"
presumptuous!
Su Ying stuck out her tongue: "It's just a little bit, it's not in vain!"
Miao Le:???
The little yellow cat's sharp claws popped out with a swishing sound, and he was ready to rush forward and beat the dog.
If I don’t beat you until you poop today, you will be considered clean!
"Report to the commander, the Tatar troops have begun to gather, and their movements are unknown. Our patrol department in the sky also observed that unknown people have entered the Tatar troops from the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Another guard in Jinyi reported outside the door.
"Got it!" After hearing Qing Ling's response, Jin Yiwei left with satisfaction.
The adult's voice is so beautiful!
After Jin Yiwei left, Jiang Yuyan once again enjoyed the fun of a man and a cat fighting together, while thinking about the purpose of the Tatar gathering.
Obviously, the ministers who chose Concubine Zhou were afraid that they would directly lead troops to serve the king, so they simply let the Tatars contain them.
As for whether doing so would result in the Nine Borders being destroyed again and hundreds of thousands of Ming people being displaced, it obviously didn't matter in the eyes of those big shots.
For the sake of the stability of the country, the sacrifices of these dawn people are valuable and necessary.
After thinking for a long time, one person and one cat were tired of beating each other and licking each other's fur. Jiang Yuyan got up and went out.
"One left, one right!"
"exist!"
"Jiubian belongs to each city and sends three thousand soldiers and horses to gather here. What I want is the elite!"
"yes!"
"Talk about everything!"
"exist!"
"Lead 6,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to help harvest crops, hoard grain and grass in various parts of the Nine Borders, and urge tribes to hand over tributes as soon as possible."
"yes!"
"Xiao Yu'er, Hua Wuque, I will give you five thousand elites practicing Yuan Jiu Gong to receive the food and supplies sent by the Suzhou Prefecture and the imperial court, and guard my logistics."
"As you command!"
After giving the instructions, Jiang Yuyan stood on the high platform of the government office with her hands behind her hands, her black hair flying and her spirits high.
The girl looked to the north from a distance, her navy blue unicorn uniform rustling in the strong wind.
The Tatars gathered together and caught them all in one fell swoop.
This battle is certain and will make all the grassland tribes unable to raise their heads for ten years.
…
Capital, harem.
Concubine Zhou anxiously wandered around the room.
"Dad, that little brat is going to take the throne in half a month, why don't you take action?"
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, the old master Zhou Shangshu said: "Why are you so anxious? Who knows who will win until the last moment?"
"What's going on in the palace? Why did you let a folk woman pick peaches after you've been running it for so many years?"
Concubine Zhou was stunned. She had a relationship with her son, and with the support of her father and the people in the court, she couldn't compare to the eunuchs and maids in the palace. She had a good temper even if she didn't bully them.
"I don't know why, but Liu Xi is now staying outside Fengfei Palace every day. I promised that after the emperor ascends the throne, he will still be the governor, but he refused directly." Concubine Zhou replied.
Zhou Shangshu fell into deep thought, feeling that everything was wrong these years, why did the emperor suddenly dream of that Jiang Yufeng.
Moreover, in his eyes, Jiang Yufeng was just average, so why could he bewilder the emperor?
"Dad, what else are you thinking about? Hurry up and think of a solution!" Concubine Zhou came to Zhou Shangshu's side, grabbed his arm and shook it.
Ever since she was little, she has been accustomed to turning to her father to solve any problems.
Zhou Shangshu was also used to his daughter's coquettishness and stroked his beard: "Don't worry, daughter, I have contacted Jiang Yuyan and promised her that as long as she stays put, when Shen Shen succeeds to the throne, I will make her the King of Northern Xinjiang."
Concubine Zhou was stunned: "What's the use? That little bastard of Concubine Feng is on the throne. Jiang Yuyan is his aunt. With her achievements in the north, it is natural for her to be crowned king and prime minister."
Zhou Shangshu smiled and said confidently: "Jiang Yuyan is indeed good at running the army and is ruthless, but after all, she is a girl, so sometimes she is a little soft-hearted.
Last year she ran around for the refugees from Jiubian, but this year I have informed the Tatar ministries and told them that the Ming Dynasty will no longer send more troops to Jiubian and distribute food and wages.
When the time comes when the Tatar tribes invade Jiubian, how could Jiang Yuyan abandon the people of Jiubian?
And as long as we control the fifth battalion in Kyoto and launch a mutiny within half a month, we will definitely succeed by then!"
When Concubine Zhou heard this, she also laughed: "When my son ascends the throne, Dad, you will be the greatest hero, and all civil and military officials will obey your orders.
And does Jiang Yuyan still dare to risk the disapproval of the world and raise an army to rebel?"
Zhou Shangshu nodded: "Even if she raises an army to rebel, we have an army of 100,000 in the capital. If we follow Yu Qian's example and mobilize troops from various prefectures, within three months we will have a million troops, and we will definitely stop Jiang Yuyan at the city gate!"
One million versus one hundred thousand, still defending the city, the advantage is mine!"
Then the father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, feeling very proud that everything was under their control.
Jiang Yufeng, a country woman, what can I do to fight with them?
They have been running this court for decades and it is as stable as Mount Tai.
…
In Fengfei Palace, Jiang Yufeng was sitting on the bed in a daze holding her son in her arms. Sometimes she would look out the window expectantly.
The door was full of guards and eunuchs.
She doesn't dare to go out now, and even goes to bed at night in fear, fearing that someone will come in and stab her and her mother to death.
Seeing Liu Xi coming in, Jiang Yufeng quickly shouted: "How is it? Has my sister returned with troops?"
Liu Xi shook his head slowly, with a heavy expression on his face: "No, but I heard that Fairy Yuyan has assembled a hundred thousand troops in Jiubian."
Jiang Yufeng looked happy.
"It seems that they are preparing for a battle with the 200,000-strong Tatar army!" Liu Xi continued.
Jiang Yufeng was stunned.
Only then did she understand that no one can be relied upon. At the most critical time, people can only rely on themselves in many situations.
"Mr. Liu, my son is young, and we orphans and widowers can only rely on you.
If my son ascends the throne, you will always be the general manager of the East Factory and the eunuch with a pen!" Jiang Yufeng solemnly promised.
Liu Xi nodded. Now that he was on this side, there was no room for maneuver.
Besides, Jiang Yufeng, mother and son, do not have any background power in the court. When Zhu Jianzhi ascends the throne, won't he be the nominal lord of the world?
"Your Majesty's words are serious, I will go outside to arrange them to make sure everything is perfect!" Liu Xi said confidently.
…
In Hetao, the leaders of various Tatar tribes gathered together and were drinking happily.
It's really funny that Ming Dynasty came here to tell them not to send more troops to Jiubian this year. Wouldn't it mean that they would have a good time?
It looks like this winter will be a good one!
The leader of Aluo's tribe raised his glass: "Brothers, Jiang Yuyan was so arrogant last year. Which tribes below asked her to pay tribute? Did she think she was Yongle? It really made me laugh to death!
This year, right now, the imperial court is fighting, why don’t we just conquer the rich land of Jiubian, and then you and I can break the earth and become kings, make achievements, and become famous in one fell swoop!”
"Okay!" The other leaders immediately shouted.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is in civil strife, it is a once-in-a-century opportunity for them, just in time to secure the vast and wealthy territory of Jiubian for their descendants.
At that time, future generations may remember their achievements.
Early morning.
On the hill, Jiang Yuyan led tens of thousands of cavalry and looked coldly at the densely packed tents in the distance.
"Sir, we have taken care of all the scouts along the way. There is no movement from the Tatar troops. No one should have noticed our arrival," Shan Zuo reported.
Jiang Yuyan nodded and looked to the sky, which was not the home ground of humans.
I saw a few huge eagles pounced on the obviously smaller eagle over there, and hijacked it back after a moment.
There seemed to be some movement in the Tatar camp in the distance.
Jiang Yuyan raised her hand, and the five soldiers behind him lifted a pair of armor, and the other five soldiers lifted a large armor!
In the surprised eyes of the soldiers, Jiang Yuyan dismounted, slowly put on the fine iron armor weighing more than three hundred kilograms, and held a large jǐ weighing more than two hundred kilograms and two meters long.
Then, he waved his sword forward and ran in long strides: "Follow me and kill!"
"kill!"
Jiang Yuyan ran faster than all the war horses and charged forward. When she arrived 500 meters away from the Tatar camp, thousands of cavalry had already gathered on the opposite side to fight.
Jiang Yuyan did not stop. When she was a hundred meters away, she kicked her legs slightly and leaped directly across more than a hundred meters into the Tatar military formation. The two-meter-long jian swayed twice, and an open space appeared directly in the queue.
There were countless casualties.
Not only the Tatars, but also the sergeants who followed him twitched their faces slightly, wondering why such a beautiful adult fought so violently and bloodyly.
"Kill!"
With Jiang Yuyan, a peerless general, taking the lead, the cavalry regiment of ten thousand people cut through the Tatar army ten times. Some leaders were hit hard as soon as they gathered their soldiers. Once they continued, no one could stop them.
Standing alone on the left and right, talking about everything, Xu Dabai, Yu Mian, Hua Wuque, Xiao Yu'er, all of them became red-eyed.
At this moment, all they know is to follow the adults.
Rush, rush, rush!
Half a day later, the leader of Aluo's tribe hid in a hole in a sand dune and shivered.
This Ming army was too fierce, especially the black-armored general at the head, who really made him understand what it means to be brave enough for all men!
But his wish to become famous in one fell swoop should have come true, and it only took half a day.
In less than half a day, a total of 150,000 troops from more than a dozen tribes were crushed by less than 10,000 cavalry from the opposite side, and the leader was a woman.
Can he leave his name in history?
"Meow~" A kitten walked over in a big way.
The leader quickly tried to carry him over to prevent him from making any noise.
"Bang~" As a result, the leader who met him was knocked unconscious by the little yellow cat's paw.
Before fainting, the leader's last thought was: If he were captured by a cat, wouldn't it be another addition to history?
