Yang Feng rode a moose and stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu, looking at him with interest.
The latter clutched the iron whip tightly and looked nervous.
"Look at you holding an iron whip, do you still want to fight me?"
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, since you say you are an envoy of a friendly country, why do you care about my family affairs?"
Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Is this how your father taught you the etiquette of meeting your elders?"
Yang Feng said.
"You haven't married the 14th aunt yet!"
Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.
"But we already have the facts."
Yang Feng said calmly.
"Things, facts?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
"Yes, we already have the facts, so I am still your elder, and even if I haven't officially married your aunt, I am still called a brother to your father, so I am still your elder. As a junior, I meet your elder.
If you don't quickly dismount and salute, do you want me to teach you a lesson myself?"
Yang Feng shouted.
Zhu Gaoxu was instantly angry...
He has been very proud of himself recently, leading his cavalry on a rampage. Although it was mainly because the guard stations along the way gave up fighting with him, it still made him feel invincible. In fact, there were several small-scale battles. After all, it was not all about waiting and watching.
. And he did show his historical bravery. It can be said that he was never defeated on the battlefield. Although he mainly relied on the elite cavalry behind him, he himself was also able to charge into battle with the cavalry.
He is a fierce general.
This is a fact.
Even during times of crisis, if he were taken alone, he would still be as good as Zhang Fu, Tan Yuan, Liu Rong and others.
He is now extremely swollen, and being able to humble himself in front of Yang Feng is already a sign of great control over his emotions.
Now Yang Feng's arrogance finally broke out...
"The ambassador thinks that Gao Xu is still a child, but today he wants to see how the ambassador teaches him a lesson?"
He sneered.
The next moment, cold light flew out of Yang Feng's hand.
He reacted very quickly, and immediately moved to block the iron whip in his hand. However, this was a meteor hammer. His iron whip hit the rope, and the hammer head spun around. He hurriedly moved back to avoid it, but the rope was instantly caught by the iron whip in his hand.
It was wrapped around the whip, and then a huge pulling force pulled the iron whip outward.
He immediately grabbed the iron whip with both hands and roared to snatch it back.
But there was a sudden light.
The pull disappeared and he fell backwards.
But at the moment he fell, he saw a figure flying in front of him.
"If a child disobeys, he will still be beaten."
A terrifying voice sounded.
Then a hand grabbed his arm, and with huge force, he was dragged directly off the horse, fell heavily to the ground, and then a big foot landed on his chest.
He looked at Yang Feng's face that suddenly appeared in his field of vision, roared angrily and tried to stand up, but the suffocation in his chest made him unable to continue. At this moment, it seemed that what was pressing on his chest was not a foot, but a mountain.
. But the next moment the foot was raised. He didn't think about anything. He jumped up instinctively, and then a fist fell on his face. He screamed and fell to the side. Fortunately, he was a fierce general and had a lot of blood.
He didn't care about anything, he got up from the ground like crazy, roared and wanted to come forward, but the moment he got up, a foot kicked him in the stomach. Although the standard big belly of the classical warrior protected him well, it could not
The force he endured still caused him to fly backwards and then hit the ground again.
He got up again like crazy.
But it's not over yet.
Because he was three-quarters of the way up, a big hand suddenly fell on his face, then pressed his face and pushed him back, slamming him to the ground again.
Before he woke up, the pull on his chest made him stand up again. Three-quarters of the way through, he finally saw Yang Feng's face again, but the next moment, the big hand pressed down on his face again, and then he
He screamed and fell back. But the next moment he was pulled up to the same height by the pull on his chest, and then the big hand pressed his face again and pushed him back again.
He struggled like crazy, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape his fate.
He got up involuntarily.
He dropped it involuntarily.
He couldn't help but get up again.
He then smashed it down involuntarily.
…
After countless times, his consciousness had become blurred, and his struggle had long been given up. He was rising and falling like a doll.
It's finally over.
He breathed out a dying breath, and the next moment he spurted a mouthful of blood into the sky...
"The blood spurting out is so spectacular!"
His uncle sighed.
Well, I'm not married yet, but I already have an uncle.
Although poor Zhu Gaoxu was as strong as an ox, he could not withstand his torture after all. He fell into coma immediately after spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yang Feng stood beside him and looked at the cavalry on the opposite side who still did not move forward. The latter's choice was still very difficult.
To satisfy him. The core here should also be from the Western Expedition, so Zhu Di had actually secretly sent his most elite soldiers back to his son. This was his plan from the beginning.
Understandable.
After all, this is the throne. Although Zhu Di does like to expand territories, he can also expand territories when he becomes emperor.
It is even easier to expand territory.
Becoming king in the Western Regions would mean, at most, expanding to West Asia. Being the emperor would allow him to include the entire world within his own territory, so it was normal for him to choose to fight for the throne.
"The King of Yan has made a clear promise to me in the Western Regions that he will not fight for the throne again. In the future, he will governor the Western Regions as King Yan and open up the west for the Ming Dynasty. I believe he will not lie to me, so what are you doing now?
Do you want to add a yellow robe to him and force him to usurp the throne? I don't like others to lie to me. If King Yan asked you to do this, then he lied to me, and I will settle the score with him. If not, then you want to harm Yan.
King. Of course, I don’t want to delve into this matter, but now that Zuoyu Banner is behind me, as a mediator, I ask you to cease the war and return to your respective guarding places.
I can guarantee that you will not be punished in any way afterwards.
I also know that most of you actually don’t want to live in such poor places as Xuanda and Kaiping, so you think that once King Yan wins, you can return to your hometown in the south.
It’s not wrong to think so.
After all, Mongolia has surrendered, and as border guards, you no longer need to suffer in border towns.
But I will solve this problem for you.
In the future, part of the border town will inevitably be abolished, and then the national registration will be changed, and the abolished people will be allowed to return to the south. For those who remain, I will help them live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. I have already started planting rice in Huining, and I agree
I will contract military supplies for Daning in the future, and I will also contract military supplies for Xuanda and even Yansui and other places in the future.
I can make all the military households in Huining live a life without worries about food and clothing, and of course I can also make it possible for you."
Yang Feng said.
The fundamental reason why this wave of large-scale defection to Zhu Di from various parts of the north is actually what Yang Wen said: the bitter cold in the north makes people want to return home day and night.
This is also the reason why Zhu Di quickly solved Daning in history.
In the original history, at least Mongolia has not been completely solved, so although these military households in the border towns do not like it, they also know their responsibilities. After all, these military households basically migrated from the south to the north. They just drove Mongolia back to Mobei for more than 20 years.
In the year, the sense of mission of most military households still exists. They were originally from the Northern Expedition, and most of those veterans are still alive. But now Zhu Di's Western Expedition can be said to have completely solved Mongolia, and even the Mongol Khan is in the capital.
Now that they are good at singing and dancing, the Mongolians on the grasslands are already subjects of the Ming Dynasty, so why do they still have to endure hardships in the frontier fortress? Most of them come from the south, and in the abundance and warmth of the land of plenty, they go to these places where the temperature is 20 to 30 degrees below zero
This barren land was originally very dissatisfied, but now that there are no enemies, why do we still stay here?
In fact, until the middle period of the Ming Dynasty, including those in Beijing after the capital was moved, the attitude towards the north was still that of temporary garrison.
Even after Zhu Di moved the capital, the nature of Peiping has always remained the same.
Therefore, after the Tumubao Incident, the attitude of most generals was to simply go south.
They don't want to stay in the north.
Even Xungui doesn't want to.
In the farming era, the difference between a rice-growing area with a yield of four or five shi per mu and a dry farming area with a yield of one or two shi per mu can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth, let alone a place like Peiping, which was even described as bitterly cold in the late Ming Dynasty.
, not to mention Xuanda, Kaiping and Daning Hetao.
The Mongols longed for Monan, but in the eyes of military households in border towns of the Ming Dynasty, this was a bitter and cold place.
So when Zhu Di gave them a promise, they made their choice immediately.
"Ambassador, I am following the ambassador on the Western Expedition. Can you guarantee that the emperor will listen to you?"
An officer said cautiously.
"If he doesn't listen, I will use my own methods to make him listen. You don't think I have any fear of the emperor, do you?
Even his grandfather was shot by me with a gun, let alone him."
Yang Feng said.
Later Yang Wen felt melancholy.
Of course, Ambassador Yang was just telling the truth.
"Little letter ambassador!"
The officer said.
Then he looked at Zhu Gaoxu on the ground...
"Ambassador, King Gaoyang is my young master after all. I beg you, Ambassador, to spare him."
he said.
"Don't worry, I am still his uncle after all. Although we are not married, there is a fact after all that his aunt still likes him. I will not kill him. You take him back to Peking and tell Zhu Gaochi that I will go south to Peking. If he
With his brother's physique, he can try to stop me."
Yang Feng said.
Zhu Gaoxu cannot die.
This guy is as strong as an ox, and after just a few falls, his body of flesh is comparable to an airbag.
He was just frustrated.
The officer immediately dismounted, and together with his companions, they lifted their Gaoyang County King. Someone brought a donkey cart next to him. Poor Zhu Gaoxu, who was still in a coma, was carried onto the donkey cart and lay on the donkey cart like the God of Sorghum River Carts.
, and then, escorted by his subordinates, he returned to Peiping in despair.
As for the rest…
Let's break up!
This cavalry is mainly composed of the three feudal lords of Yan Dynasty and Gu, plus some cavalry from the guards of Beiping, Xuanfu, and Datong. Because the guards of Gu vassal and Dai vass all chose to fight against the imperial court, the generals of the second city of Xuanda either joined or abandoned their troops.
Escape and either be caught or killed.
After all, the vast majority of those military households chose to support the feudal princes.
A few generals are powerless.
And now all they need to do is return to their respective guards.
They still trust Yang Feng.
The main reason is that Ambassador Yang has a special status. He said that even if the emperor disagrees, he will use his own way to get the emperor to agree, so he should believe a person who dared to shoot Emperor Daxing outside Chengtian Gate.
He dared to shoot at Emperor Daxing, but of course he would not dare to shoot at the emperor.
This is how Yang Feng entered Kaiping.
And at this moment.
Beijing.
"Your Majesty will conquer it personally."
Zhang Xianzong walked into Her Royal Highness the Princess's office with an anxious look on his face.
"Then he will conquer it himself!"
The little princess said calmly.
"Princess, why don't you dissuade me?"
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Why should I dissuade him? He still doubts me now! Even Lan Yu didn't dissuade him. Why should I dissuade him? Besides, he is not stupid. He has guards in uniforms, bodyguards, accompanying soldiers, and gunboats. I want to do harm to him.
There is no chance. There are already people in Suzhou who want to surrender. As long as he goes there, it will be useless even if Fang Xiaoru pretends to surrender. Maybe he was coaxed into surrendering."
said the little princess.
Lan Yu did not dissuade her.
In fact, it is impossible for Zhu Yunxi to truly believe Fang Xiaoru.
He also knew that the latter might feign surrender.
But it doesn’t matter whether it’s a fake surrender or not. What’s important is that personal expedition is indeed a good choice. After all, everyone in Suzhou City has their own agenda, and the vast majority of the people and the military households of Suzhou Guard are essentially being held hostage. If the emperor’s control is
They personally marched to Suzhou and announced some lenient decisions. Under the current situation, someone in the city must try to surrender. As long as there is a change in the city, the Shenji Battalion outside can attack by force, and the emperor's personal expedition can also deter the gentry everywhere.
They didn't break up, once they saw the emperor's determination and got scared, they could just stop.
The emperor will not look into it further.
As for the risks…
Of course there is.
But you can’t be afraid of a little risk, right?
Strengthen protection!
Besides, when the emperor is on a personal expedition, he will be accompanied by at least tens of thousands of escorts, especially the musketeers and flintlocks around him. As long as there are no low-level accidents, it is impossible for any assassin to approach.
Of course, more importantly...
"Scholar Zhang, Your Majesty is actually afraid that our master will go south and solve everything in one fell swoop, which will make him look very incompetent, so he wants to solve this mess, at least part of it, before our master goes south.
, so that people can know that he does not rely on our master to secure his position. At this time, the princess tried to persuade him, but it made him dissatisfied, thinking that the princess was deliberately dragging him so that our master could solve everything. Since he wanted
Show your ability as an emperor, then let him do whatever he wants."
Haruhime said.
The little princess snorted coldly.
Zhang Xianzong sighed helplessly.
Of course he understood that Chun Ji was telling the truth. After all, the emperor is no longer in the past, and Yang Feng is not needed now. If an emperor needs others to clean up his own mess, then who in the Ming Dynasty really has the final say?
He spent half a year, but not only did he fail to quell the rebellions in various places, but instead made the situation worse. Once Yang Feng came out, everyone became honest...
So is Yang Feng the emperor, or is he the emperor?
