In the eighth year of Tianshun, autumn, in the hinterland of Hetao.
On the winding and endless green and yellow grassland, a long team was being escorted to the newly cultivated fields in the Ming Dynasty.
More than 30,000 war horses, more than 50,000 well-trained warriors, plus the grain and grass supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops, these can directly double the development speed of Jiubian.
Many of the Tatar cavalry have fled, but all the tribal leaders have been captured. Without these leaders, even if the cavalry returns to the tribe, they will fight openly and covertly.
Within ten years, there should be no more conflicts in the north of the Ming Dynasty.
"Go faster!"
Beilai, several leaders of the Maori tribe were driven away with their heads downcast. Obviously, they seemed to have achieved their goal: to lay down a large territory for their descendants!
According to Jiang Yuyan's rules, Jiubian does not need slaves, but as captives, they have to serve, farm and raise horses for at least ten years, and then they can become subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the descendants will become people of the Ming Dynasty. You can tell whether the territory of the Ming Dynasty is large or not.
Ten days later, when the people in Datong, Taiyuan and other important border towns saw the Tatar prisoners being driven over, they immediately cheered and some even rushed towards them and started fighting.
In recent years, many of them have been destroyed and their families were destroyed because of these Tatars.
After hearing that these prisoners would serve in Jiubian for ten years, the people's cheers even exceeded the sound of war drums.
Everything they lost in the past must be made up for by these prisoners.
"Long live Fairy Yuyan!"
…
Datong Mansion, Governor's Office.
"Fairy Yuyan, long time no see." In late autumn, when the northern Xinjiang is bitterly cold, Red Leaf waved her fan to say hello.
Jiang Yuyan gave him a strange look: "Are you here to be a lobbyist?"
Hongye shook his head slowly: "No, I am here to give the fairy a piece of wealth and glory on behalf of the empress."
"Am I not rich now?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
Hong Ye waved her fan and said confidently: "No, no, no.
Fairy Yuyan, your current wealth is only temporary. When you get old, everything you have will disappear.
But if you, fairy, are willing to support your mother-in-law and have a deep love for each other as sisters, she is willing to grant you a royal title, which will be hereditary. In the future, if the fairy has descendants, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still around, they will enjoy wealth and glory forever."
Jiang Yuyan pondered for a moment and examined Hongye: "It seems that she has given you a lot of benefits by working so hard for Yufeng."
Hongye smiled and said: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
Fairy Yuyan, your martial arts are superb and your military skills are like a god; I am familiar with everything in the collection of classics and history. If we cooperate, the world will be as stable as Mount Tai!
When the Holy One ascends the throne, I will govern the world internally, and you will govern externally, opening up new territories and expanding the territory. Together, we will create a prosperous age that will last forever.
When the time comes, wouldn’t it be wonderful for you and me to leave our names in history?”
Jiang Yuyan:......
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuyan picked up the teacup and remained silent.
Serve tea as a farewell to guests.
Hongye stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Your Highness King Yan, you also know that our Hongye Zhai likes to collect intelligence from all over the world, no matter how small or small. There is one thing that I don't know if you are interested in."
"explain!"
Hongye was fascinated and spoke eloquently: "Eighteen years ago, no one with ears in the world had heard of the names of "Yulang" Jiang Feng and Yan Nantian.
There is no one with eyes in the world who doesn't want to take a look at Jiang Feng's peerless style and Yan Nantian's peerless sword.
Everyone knows that there is no girl in the world who can resist Jiang Feng's smile, and there is no hero who can resist Yan Nantian's sword.
Everyone believes that Yan Nantian's sword can not only take the head of a commander among thousands of armies, but can also split a hair into two.
Jiang Feng's smile can break the hearts of his daughter's family."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Yuyan was a little impatient.
There is no way there is anyone more beautiful than her in this world!
Hong Ye suddenly felt a big stone pressing on her body, her breathing was stagnant, and she quickly continued to share her secrets.
"Eighteen years ago, Jiang Feng and Yan Nantian teamed up to exterminate the notorious Twelve Evil Stars Gang, but were injured and poisoned.
By chance, Jiang Feng was rescued by Yao Yue, the master of Yihua Palace. Yao Yue fell in love with Jiang Feng at first sight. Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng fell in love with the Hua Yue slave who served him.
The two eloped to settle down at the home of Jiang Feng's bookboy Jiang Qin. Soon, Hua Yuenu gave birth to a pair of sons. However, the couple was betrayed by Jiang Qin. Yaoyue and Lianxing came and killed Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenu.
Yaoyue originally wanted to kill the pair of babies, but Lianxing couldn't bear it, so she came up with a way to raise one of the babies and give the other to Yan Nantian to raise. After eighteen years, the two brothers would kill each other.
To avenge the hatred towards Jiang Feng."
Jiang Yuyan frowned: "What does this have to do with me?"
Hong Ye shook her fan: "King Yan doesn't know something, but Jiang Feng's two sons are your two generals, Hua Wuque and Xiao Yu'er.
In addition, that Jiang Qin is your father: Jiang Biehe.
As far as I know, when Hua Wuque came this time, Yao Yue had ordered him to kill Xiao Yuer at the right moment!"
After Jiang Yuyan heard this, she took a deep look at Hongye: "You know so much.
Then you also know some of my things?"
Hong Ye shook her fan and smiled proudly: "I know a little bit, I know a little bit."
After saying that, Hongye glanced at the little yellow cat who was scolding a bird on the desk next to him.
"roll!"
"The common people resign."
After Hongye left, Jiang Yuyan looked out the window, thinking a lot, and finally got up after a while. She walked to the little yellow cat, slapped the lark out, and picked him up to go back to the bedroom.
Miao Le's big blue round eyes were stunned for a moment: "Meow?"
I haven't won the argument yet!
"I'm tired, go to sleep with me!" Jiang Yuyan had no doubts.
An hour later, Jiang Yuyan suddenly woke up and stood up.
The little yellow cat, who was sleeping soundly in Shovel's arms, was so frightened that he jumped three feet high.
Miao Le:???
Jiang Yuyan, who was leaning on the bedside, was panting slightly. There were some beads of sweat on her smooth forehead, and even her bellyband embroidered with a phoenix was slightly wet.
After calming down for a while, Jiang Yuyan quickly hugged the little yellow cat tightly in her arms.
"Brother Le, I just had a dream. It was like it was real. Many people lined up one by one to wipe my neck with a knife."
Miao Le was stunned and quickly comforted the shovel.
"Meow!"
Usually dreams are the opposite. The reality may be that you took a knife and wiped all those people's necks.
Jiang Yuyan was startled, and her eyes that were as panicked as a deer suddenly became as gentle as water, and then she felt relieved.
That is not bad.
"Your Majesty, we found a treasure in the Tatar tent." There was a shout from outside the bedroom.
The man's voice even trembled when he spoke.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yuyan, dressed in a unicorn suit, sat at the main seat, staring at the so-called treasure in her hand.
It is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. There are eight seal characters engraved on the front: If you receive orders from heaven, you will live long and prosperous.
Looking at these eight words carefully, Jiang Yuyan seemed to feel that there was a strange power in them, and she couldn't get enough of them.
Xiao Yu'er and Yu Mian, who were at the bottom, also looked excited. Even when they occasionally looked at each other, they both saw something meaningful in them, which was something called ambition.
From the power of the dragon!
I heard that Concubine Feng was going to make Fairy Yuyan the King of Yan.
Wu Zhou could ascend to the throne, so why couldn't King Yan, who had an army of 200,000 in his hands? It just so happened that Emperor Yongle started from the north and went south to Qinwang in the name of King Yan, and finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Now the jade seal passed down to the country came into the hands of King Yan at this time.
Isn't this destiny?
The 200,000 troops of Jiubian were basically rescued by King Yan from those corrupt captains. It can be said that the people of Jiubian are united now.
As long as Jiang Yuyan has that intention, they can attack from Datong to Beijing and change the world within half a month!
Putting the jade seal aside casually, Jiang Yuyan looked at her two loyal men, a little funny: "Not bad, let's get down!"
Xiao Yu'er and Yu Mian were startled, looked at each other, bent down and bowed: "Yes!"
The two men retreated.
After her men left, Jiang Yuyan picked up the jade seal and looked it up and down again, her thoughts swirling in her heart.
The dream at noon, the title of King Yan, and the jade seal that just happened to be in hand, do all these mean: she is destiny!
…
Kyoto, Zhou Mansion.
As the Minister of Rites, it was also the residence of the eldest prince's grandfather, and now it is a bustling place.
Concubine Feng's power in the court was almost non-existent, so too many people had new ideas.
Follow the power of the dragon! This has been the fastest way to get promoted to an official position since ancient times.
"What, in less than ten days, Jiang Yuyan not only defeated the Tatar army, but even captured several hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops to Jiubian?
Even if you kill a pig, you don’t kill it so quickly, right?”
In the study, Zhou Shangshu was stunned when he heard the report from his men. Are all those Tatars made of paper?
After a moment of panic, Zhou Shangshu calmed down and ordered his men.
"Go and ask the Ministry of War to order all checkpoints from Jiubian to the capital to be closed to traffic. No troops are allowed to enter the capital without a transfer order.
In addition, the Japanese soldiers from Dongshan Prefecture and Jingnan Prefecture were transferred to station outside the capital."
"yes!"
After his subordinates left, Zhou Shangshu carefully calculated that there were still ten days before the little brat would ascend the throne, and with these preparations, he would be able to stop the female devil for ten days no matter what.
The advantage is mine!
He is even thinking about how to deal with Jiang Yuyan's problem after his grandson ascends the throne. Is it true that he can only break the earth and make her king?
Thinking of the bad things done by those generals in the past, Zhou Shangshu felt disgusted. A general actually exploited his subordinates' pensions and wages.
They didn't even think about what they would be without those soldiers.
It's good now that Jiang Yuyan will sacrifice their flags and return them to their farmland, and they will be paid and paid by everyone. Everyone in Jiubian respects her.
"Hey!" Zhou Shangshu sighed.
He suddenly felt why these allies of his were so useless.
…
In the harem, Liu Xi anxiously brought a confidential document to Jiang Yufeng.
"Mother, two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news."
Jiang Yufeng hugged her son and refused to let go: "Say!"
"The good news is that Lord Jiang Yuyan, the governor of Jiubian, led 10,000 troops to attack the 150,000 Tatar army and won a great victory!"
Jiang Yufeng's face was filled with joy, she finally heard some good news these days.
"The bad news is that Zhou Shangshu has taken control of the five military camps guarding the capital, and has also mobilized Japanese troops from Dongshan and Jingnan to attack the capital.
Moreover, the Ministry of War has just issued a letter stating that the Nine Border troops are not allowed to move without permission, otherwise it will be regarded as treason, and everyone in the family will be implicated!"
Jiang Yufeng was stunned: "Then what should we do?"
Liu Xi frowned: "My only plan for now is for you to ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to write a secret edict for Lord Yuyan to come to Beijing to serve the Emperor.
Otherwise, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have no chance of winning against the five military camps and the Japanese soldiers who add up to 500,000 troops."
"Can Yuyan make it in time?" Jiang Yufeng asked.
Liu Xi thought for a while: "Even if Lord Yuyan cannot make it in time, with my skills, the safety of the empress and the prince can still be guaranteed.
When the time comes, I will escort you out of the city to meet with Lord Yuyan. With the current combat power of the Jiubian Army, we will definitely be able to regain the throne for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Jiang Yufeng pondered for a moment and made up her mind: "Okay! Eunuch Liu, you write the imperial edict, and I will stamp it with the jade seal!"
"As you command!"
Half an hour later, Wu Tian and Wu Di, two masters of the Imperial Guard, rode out of the city on fast horses with a secret order.
Liu Xi looked at the two people's leaving figures from a distance, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
These are his last two capable men, so they must not be harmed by that old man Zhou.
It's been a really eventful time lately.
Liu Xi felt a faint pain in his heart when he thought of Dan Zuo Danyou, whom he had spent great efforts to cultivate in the past.
Last time, he sent a message to them through Jin Yiwei, so that they could secretly pass on Jiang Yuyan's latest or important information to him.
As a result, she actually wrote back and said, "Eunuch Liu, please stop contacting me. I'm afraid that Mr. Yuyan will misunderstand me!"
grass!
…
One day later.
Shanxi Prefecture, the important town of Datong, military camp.
Elite soldiers are constantly gathering here, and well-trained golden eagles, eagles, and war wolves are also roaring and hooting.
Xiaoyuer is having people in the warehouse counting the supplies and calculating distribution. Some supplies need to be delivered in advance, while others can be shipped slower.
"Who?" Suddenly, Xiao Yu'er seemed to notice something and looked behind him cautiously.
"You are very vigilant!" Hua Wuque slowly walked out of the darkness: "But your martial arts is too bad!"
Xiao Yu'er was a little confused: "You look like you want to kill me?"
Hua Wufang nodded and said honestly: "Although I think you are a good person, it is hard to disobey the teacher's orders. I'm sorry."
"So you wanted to kill me from the beginning? I used to be with Fairy Yuyan, and you were afraid of her!" Xiao Yuer was determined.
Hua Wuque stepped forward directly and took out his palm: "Don't delay any more time. Today next year will be your memorial day."
He had to kill Xiao Yu'er as soon as possible so that the master would tell him who his biological parents were. In addition, he must not let Fairy Yuyan know, otherwise she might be sad.
"Want to kill me? You can try!" Xiao Yu'er said solemnly and threw a white bag over.
Hua Wuque quickly dodged. This Yuyan concealed weapon was famous among the Jinyi Guards. Its explosive power and toxicity were astonishing. Many masters were caught off guard and were killed by secrets.
"Boom~boom, boom~"
After more than a dozen explosions, Hua Wuque rushed out of the smoke. His whole body was wrapped in a layer of transparent Hunyuan Qi, but he was fine.
But the little fish had already run away.
After a while, the governor's office, the main entrance.
"Fairy Yuyan, help me!" Xiao Yu'er shouted directly.
In his eyes, his life is much more important than his face. There is a girl waiting for him in Suzhou. He must not die.
Hua Wuque rushed over, and when he saw the location, he was stunned and immediately put away his murderous intent.
"Xiao Yu'er, would you believe it if I said it was a misunderstanding just now?" Hua Wuque tried his best to smile.
He calculated for a long time and waited for a long time, but he didn't expect that this little fish would exchange so many Yuyan hidden weapons. You must know that because of the materials and technology, each of these hidden weapons requires a huge amount of merit.
"I believe you! Fairy Yuyan, help me!" Xiao Yu'er continued to shout.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, two pieces of paper came out of the house, paused for a moment when they came closer, and then floated into the hands of the two of them.
"Hua Wuque, who assassinated his colleagues, had all his merits wiped out, and served at the border for ten years."
"The other reasons are clearly stated on the paper. You two can get out." A light voice echoed far away between heaven and earth.
Opening the paper, the two of them looked at it for a while, then raised their heads with complicated eyes.
The two of them are actually brothers.
The novels and stories in Suzhou Prefecture are not so bloody.
"Urgent report from the capital, Sir Jiang Yuyan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued a secret order, ordering you to lead troops to the capital as soon as possible to serve the emperor!" Suddenly a master came over and shouted.
A moment of silence.
"Little Yu'er, prepare the food, grass and baggage."
"yes!"
"Left and right, chatting, getting ready, breaking camp, and setting out for battle!"
