In the early morning when no one was paying attention, he rode a horse and brought a knife and a jug of wine that he wanted.
In addition, the military arsenal document also prepared a bow, a crossbow, and a gun for him, a total of sixty bows and arrows, and sixty crossbow arrows.
Fortunately, the horse Zhu Yunwen rode was very powerful and powerful, and with these equipment, the horse did not feel tired when running.
Because of the rebellion in Taiyuan City, there were few people on the official roads outside Taiyuan City.
It was at noon after the snow that Zhu Yunwen was walking on the official road to the north in the sunshine.
No one sent him off, and no one stopped him.
It's just on the upper gate of Yuanmen City, North Town, Taiyuan City.
A few people were standing quietly behind the city wall, silently watching the people riding on the official road outside the city.
Zhu Yunxi changed his clothes and wore a pure black cloak over an indigo coat. He held one hand in both hands to warm the stove. Surrounded by several people, he looked calmly at Zhu Yunwen who was traveling north.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan frowned.
He didn't agree with letting Zhu Yunwen go north alone to go out of the customs and search for Liu Zongsheng and others on the vast grassland.
Not to mention the vastness of the grassland, where can one find enemies?
Even if Zhu Yunwen met Liu Zongsheng and others, how would he take revenge?
Gao Yangzhi had some admiration in his eyes.
What he was originally worried about did not happen. The cripple did not resent his great-grandson because of the missing child. It was the best result that it did not bring any bad influence to the clan in such a stormy time.
Gao Yangzhi stared at Zhu Yunxi's back, which had reached the end of the official road and was getting further away.
He sang in a low voice with a solemn expression.
"I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."
Wang Xinling, the young governor of the General Affairs Department, tilted his head and looked sideways at the senior who was also young but already in the cabinet.
Gao Yangzhi looked sideways with a smile on his face: "If he can return to the Central Plains safely, I will add another beauty to the supreme glory of the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Xinling nodded in understanding.
The Central Plains has never lacked stories of heroes and heroic feats.
Zhu Yunwen went out alone to seek revenge.
No matter what the outcome is, as long as he can come back, he will become a hero in the whole world.
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly, holding the hand heater and turning his arms.
Zhang Hui, the official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei who was waiting by the side, immediately bowed forward and carefully took the heater handed over by the emperor's grandson.
The governor Sun Cheng and the secret guard Tian Mai, because they failed to stop Liu Zongsheng and other White Lotus rebels in Taiyuan City, are also rushing to the border.
Taisun's decree cannot be changed.
Before these rebels are found, it is probably impossible for the two of them to return to their grandson.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hui temporarily got the opportunity to work beside Zhu Yunxi.
After delivering the heater, Zhu Yunxi sighed softly: "I just hope he won't leave."
"Your Highness is kind, but this is the best result."
Gao Yangzhi comforted in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I don't know, it's just..."
He rarely showed some indecision.
Zhu Fan gave a cold shout, raised his hand and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, glaring and saying: "This is Brother Wen's own choice. Besides, at the moment, there are still many things in Taiyuan City and Shanxi Road that need you to take charge of.
Don’t hesitate too much anymore.”
Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at Gao Yangzhi: "Is everything going well now?"
Gao Yangzhi immediately replied: "Zhang Baihu is leading interrogations in each yamen in Taiyuan City, and there are no officials left behind in the city. The officials accompanying the Northern Inspection Patrol have also begun to take over the affairs of each yamen, and I think they will be able to get started in a few days.
The Shanxi merchants and gentry who participated in the rebellion in Taiyuan City have also been confiscated one by one, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs are counting the money, money, and food everywhere. Because the amount is large and the distribution is wide, it will take a few days to sort it out."
"Where is the Taiyuan City garrison?"
Zhu Yunxi asked another question.
Compared with Shanxi Road's officialdom and the confiscation of Shanxi merchants and gentry's money and food, the stability of Shanxi Road's soldiers and horses is more important.
This was a matter for the military. Gao Yangzhi closed his mouth and looked sideways at Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen who had been silent for a long time.
Cao Zhen immediately stepped forward and raised his fists with a snap: "Back to Your Highness, with the assistance of Shanxi Daodu Commander Sidu Commander Qianshi Wei Ben, there are people in the Taiyuan City garrison who have connections with the rebels.
He was found out and handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation.
Wei Bi also handed over the list of Shanxi Guards that he knew had had dealings with the rebels in the past few years. As for the remaining ones that he did not know about, the Jinyi Guards interrogated and traced them through existing people."
Zhu Yunxi frowned in thought, gently turning the white jade finger on his thumb.
After a while, he spoke again: "Ask the soldiers and horses of the guards of the Taiyuan Prefecture to switch defenses with the Henan Road Guards. Tell Yu Ma to control the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Road first, and wait until the Jinyi Guards find out.
Take them one by one.
I ordered the Marquis of Xiping, Muying, to lead his troops back to the capital and take turns. He transferred the three guards from the Zhou Palace and the Qin Palace to Taiyuan. When the morale of the Shanxi army is not stable, Zhongliang still needs to be in charge to deter Xiaoxiao."
Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen looked at each other and bowed at the same time.
"I accept my order."
Zhu Yunxi said again: "I ordered the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road to allocate this year's autumn grain to Peiping and hand it over to the Beiping Dusi for transfer to Datong Prefecture."
After several edicts in succession, the latest edict from Taisun made everyone present hesitate.
Gao Yangzhi raised his head and stared solemnly at the young but already mature and experienced emperor grandson in front of him.
Cao Zhen looked excited.
Zhu Fan rubbed his hands.
If everything goes well, when the grain and grass from Jiaozhi Road arrive in Datong, and when spring starts next year and the snow melts outside the pass and the road becomes solid, it will be time for Zhu Yunxi to personally lead his troops to the north to conquer the grasslands and drive out the remnants of the Yuan thieves.
As long as the emperor's original decree was there, no one could raise objections.
In fact, several people knew it vaguely in their hearts.
After this northern patrol, Taisun will probably officially take over the military and political affairs of the empire.
In the capital, the emperor is rarely seen in the recent newspapers. On weekdays, all the affairs of the court are left to the prince to take care of.
No one is sure whether the emperor will suddenly announce to the world that he will abdicate and give way to the prince one day.
When that time comes, the grandson of the emperor in front of him will naturally become the crown prince.
The prince lives in the middle palace and cannot leave easily.
Before that, this northern patrol could be said to be Zhu Yunxi's last opportunity to act in such a big way.
Stabilizing the Wara tribe and conquering the Tatar tribe were the most important reasons for Zhu Yunxi's tour to the north of Beijing.
At a time when everyone has different thoughts.
Officers and soldiers rushed over from the bottom of the city tower and knelt on the ground in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"I would like to report to Your Highness that there is a man from the Tatar tribe who claims to be an envoy and wishes to meet with Your Highness to discuss the matter of conquering the Oara tribe in the west."
The officers and soldiers didn't know what happened on the tower just now.
After he finished speaking.
Everyone, including Zhu Yunxi, had strange expressions.
The people of the Tatar tribe said that they would join the Ming Dynasty in conquering the Oara tribe in the west.
It's really a big joke.
Not to mention, there were still a group of Tatar envoys in Taiyuan City at this time.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the people around him.
Zhu Fan immediately sneered and said: "The people who invaded the palace this time were a group of outsiders. I think this group of people couldn't escape, so in order to protect themselves, they pretended to be envoys."
Gao Yangzhi was also a little surprised: "If it was really an envoy, the border officials should have reported it early."
Cao Zhen spoke concisely and concisely: "Your Highness, you give the order, and I will chop off the heads of these thieves right now!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and waved his hand.
He walked to the inside of the city wall and looked down from above.
I saw a group of Tatars guarding two men below the city tower.
With a sneer on his face, Zhu Yunxi never looked back and asked in a low voice: "Have all the thieves been found and convicted in the city?"
Gao Yangzhi stepped forward and answered: "The law of the Ming Dynasty states that if anything involves rebellion or serious rebellion, regardless of whether the master or subordinate is involved, everyone will be killed."
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction: "Then please invite these 'Tatar envoys' to the school grounds in the city."
Gao Yangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.
He immediately said: "I accept the order, and let the rebels be escorted to the school grounds to be executed for their crimes."
Downstairs of Zhenyuan Gate.
Arutai and his son Abu were alone, guarded by the only remaining tribal warriors, waiting uneasily on the side of the street.
The two of them raised their heads from time to time and looked at the tower that was more than four feet tall.
And half an hour ago.
Somewhere in Taiyuan City, there was a remote and dilapidated house where Arutai and others were hiding.
People kept coming back from outside to report every move of the officers and soldiers in the city.
Arutai's face was solemn. He sat on the main seat in front of the hall and said nothing for a long time.
Abu's face was filled with anxiety, and he kept pacing back and forth in front of his father Arutai with his hands clasped.
"Lord, we only have less than twenty people left in the city."
"Right now, Ming court officers and soldiers are guarding everywhere in the city, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets. We can't find a way to escape from the city..."
A follower rushed back and reported in a deep voice.
Abu's face became more and more anxious. He looked back at his silent father, then turned to look at his entourage, and asked: "What are the officials doing now? Where is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor now?"
The attendant replied: "The government officials are checking houses and houses everywhere. If we don't leave, we will check them here soon. As for the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that he is leading people at Zhenyuan Gate.
"
Abu's heartbeat quickened, and he waved to his entourage irritably.
When the entourage left, Abu turned around and walked to his father Arutai.
"Father!"
Abu called me in a deep voice.
But Arutai remained silent and did not say a word.
Abu felt anxious in his heart and said in a more serious tone: "Father! If we don't make a decision, we will definitely die in Taiyuan City today!
Whether you want to leave or stay, you have to make a decision!"
Arutai remained silent, not even moving his body.
After a while, when Abu was about to lose his patience.
Arutai then slowly raised his head and looked calmly at Abu in front of him.
Abjie immediately said anxiously: "Father, there are less than twenty of us left now, and the people from the Ming court are about to find this place. We should escape from here."
Arutai frowned slightly: "Abu, do we have a way to escape from Taiyuan City now?"
Abu shook his head hesitantly: "No."
There was a hint of unwillingness on Arutai's face.
"Akito, Akito, why do they always have such good luck?
Everything is obviously ready, and the Ming people in Taiyuan City are also fully prepared, why can't it happen yet?"
I was also disappointed in my heart. I just felt that the Ming Dynasty today was like a huge, boundless dark cloud, pressing down on the entire grassland, making everyone breathless.
Abu whispered: "Father, can we still have a chance to take back the Central Plains from Mingren?"
Arutai shook his head: "I can't see you anymore... Mingren are no longer like the two-legged sheep they were when they were ruled by Dayuan."
Abu took two steps back and sat on a chair nearby.
The father and son were silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Abu stood up again and his eyes widened.
"Father, do you still remember the time when Duoyin Wendu'er was sent to Wuliangha's Qianhu Office, Taizhou and other places were in Qingliankou's Qianhufu Office, and Hui Yi'er and other places were in Qingpiankou's Qianhufu Office?"
Arutai turned to look at Abu.
"The three guards of Wuliangha?"
He frowned, a little confused.
The three Qianhusuo I mentioned, and the Wuliangha Sanwei in Arutai's mouth are the famous Duoyan Sanwei.
Abu nodded: "Yes! Since the Ming Dynasty is now at its peak, it cannot be resisted. Father, why can't we follow the example of the three guards of Wuliangha and surrender to the Ming Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the Ming Dynasty conquered the three guards, they received countless generous gifts.
Now that we are trapped in Taiyuan City and it is difficult to escape, why not surrender to the Ming Dynasty and bring the tribesmen to join the Ming Dynasty.
Based on Akito's arrogant nature, it is impossible to say that his father could be granted the title of a prince.
My father knows best how the tribe has been doing in recent years. The Ming Dynasty sent out troops to conquer every year. What did Guilichi Khan do?
If we can't take back the Central Plains, why can't we surrender to the Ming Dynasty? When the time comes, we can still enjoy the beauty of the Central Plains."
Abu kept persuading me, and his eyes widened even more.
He felt he had found another way.
Under the current desperate situation, it may not be the best way to lead the tribe to surrender to the Ming court.
Arutai's eyes widened, and anger gradually grew in his eyes.
"You want me to surrender to Akito?!"
"Do you know what you are talking about!"
He stared intently at Abu standing in front of him.
If the other party hadn't been his own son, and if he hadn't felt that he was also desperate, he would have killed him with his own hands.
But the anger in his heart, the unwillingness in his heart, and his pride as a citizen of Changshengtian made Arutai still unwilling to agree to this method.
Abu, I'm just a little scared.
Father's strictness in the past made Abu and I a little nervous.
But when I think about the current situation.
Abu still held on and said: "This is the only way now! If my father feels that it is humiliating to surrender Mingren, the worst thing he can do is wait for us to recover and return to the grassland, and then lead the warriors from the tribe to fight back.
!”
Looking at his father who was full of anger.
Abu said again: "Father, do you want to die in the hands of Mingren now?"
