"Young master, be careful what you say." An old general stood up and shouted in a low voice. Although he was shouting to stop Yang Neng, so as to prevent him from talking unscrupulously and saying more things that he shouldn't say, there were still some people present.
Who doesn't understand that when comparing the two, everyone feels their faces are slightly hot. The dignity of the Ming Dynasty in treating its own emperor is actually not comparable to that of Wa Ci, who has always been regarded as a barbarian and mortal enemy by the Ming Dynasty.
How can people not feel embarrassed by this?
"Damn Nima, our Ming Dynasty is known as the Kingdom of Heaven, and all nations come to court. Which of the vassals would not praise our Ming Dynasty for its unparalleled benevolence, Chinese etiquette, and magnanimity that are the best in the world. I didn't expect that today, I would actually show up in front of Rong Qiu.
After such a thing, it’s really embarrassing that you have to send it to a foreign country.” Luo Hengxin, a stubborn old man, couldn’t help but be filled with anger.
Think about what the emperor has done since the defeat of Tumubao, and then compare it with what the emperor is doing today. It is really very different. I really don’t know what Zhu Qizhen was thinking at the time. This is the thought.
, Luo Hengxin hated Wang Zhen who had turned into dust even more. If it weren't for that traitor, the Ming Dynasty would not have the turmoil and changes it has today.
Seeing everyone's faces turning red, discussing and communicating in low voices, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but coughed twice, and then he spoke after everyone in the room turned their eyes to him. "Today, Liu Bingzhong said in front of the foreign envoys,
If you speak rudely to the emperor and talk nonsense about state affairs, you should be punished. I will come up to the emperor to discuss it with the emperor."
"What you said makes sense, sir. We will also go to the court to tell the story of what happened." Everyone present, who was qualified to go to the court, all expressed their opinions. Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly with a smile on his face, but in his heart
He kept thinking, since he slapped his good brother so hard on the face, he might not give up. What should he do next? He needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
After the officials said their goodbyes and left, Zhu Qizhen invited Luo Hengxin to stay in the palace for a banquet. He also quietly gave orders to the two young masters Yang and Wang Jinchang. After the meeting, the three men quietly returned to Zhu Qizhen.
Although the people in Zhenzhen's palace didn't know why Zhu Qizhen called them here, it had already reached this point. Even if they jumped out and said that they were not part of the Emperor's party, no one in the world would be willing to believe it, at least that person.
The emperor in the capital would not believe that they could only serve Zhu Qizhen willingly now.
Luo Hengxin just took a few sips of wine when he saw Wang Jinchang and the other three people leaving and returning. He couldn't help but be startled. However, Luo Hengxin, who had been in officialdom for a long time, did not show too many expressions and just walked towards these three people and said hello.
My eyes fell on Zhu Qizhen's body again, and I really wanted to see what Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor, wanted?
Zhu Qizhen didn't waste any time. After the three people sat down, he straightened the front of his dragon robe and said: "Three of you, my dear brother, did not expect that they would end up in such trouble with my imperial brother.
Wuyou is just that I have suffered a lot from you talented people who have worked hard to serve the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen's words were truly inspired. If he hadn't relied on his status as the Supreme Emperor, he could have plotted and plotted
, how could these three elite military generals from the border towns of the Ming Dynasty fall into their trap?
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the three of them looked at each other, and the bitterness in their hearts was really hard to describe. Luo Hengxin still looked like an old god was there, but in fact, he was secretly shocked. He never imagined that these three people were already dead.
The Supreme Emperor regards him as his confidant, but he stays here, for fear of...
"Your Majesty, in fact, I am doing these things willingly, because the Emperor is doing it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, not for his own selfish interests." Yang Xin raised his head, his expression was firm and decisive, and he said without any hesitation.
replied.
"Lian knows that you are very good, so let's hold on...," Zhu Qizhen glanced at the three people in front of him and couldn't help but ponder.
"If there is any inconvenience to your Majesty, I will take my leave first." Luo Hengxin saw Zhu Qizhen thinking silently and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
When Zhu Qizhen saw Luo Hengxin's expression, he naturally understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said to Luo Hengxin: "Luo Aiqing, please sit down. There are some things that I will explain to you today.
I know that Mr. Luo Aiqing and Mr. Wang Zhi, the old minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, are close friends, and I have something to entrust to you."
"Please express it clearly, Your Majesty." Luo Hengxin had to pause and replied respectfully.
"Lian knows that when today's emperor did this, he clearly expressed his attitude and did not want to see me return to the capital." Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath. "He has worries in his heart. I am very clear about this and understand it."
Very well, since he doesn’t want me to go back, then it’s okay if I don’t go back to the capital.”
Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but change their expressions. Luo Hengxin even turned pale: "The Emperor can't do it. You are the majestic Emperor. How can you live in a war-torn place like Bian Town for a long time? If you have any chance,
, I will die hundreds of times to forgive my sin."
"Old dear, don't be anxious, just listen to Lian's words." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but gently persuade him. After seeing Luo Hengxin calmed down a little, he cleared his throat and said: "Since Lian was taken captive in Tumubao, he has learned from the pain and learned from it.
In the past, I was just a frog in the well, unaware of the sufferings of the people and the general trend of the world.
All day long, I only listen to the eunuchs' power, thinking that the world will be peaceful with singing and dancing, and hundreds of kingdoms will come to court, but they will still live in the world of Taizu.
In the glory of our ancestors, we are unaware of the changes in the world, and the Ming Dynasty is only in crisis..."
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and saw that the four people were listening attentively, and continued: "Decades of stability have made the people, civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty almost forget that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were here when he was in power.
The Rong and Di from Mobei have invaded the south, and now the Wasi have determined the general trend of the grassland, uniting all the grassland tribes, and their momentum is no less powerful than that of the Yuanmeng in the past. There are often ambitions to look south and drink from the horses in the Central Plains."
"In the past, there were Yang Hong and Yang Lao Aiqing, a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, who guarded the Xuanfu, trained elite soldiers, and built strong forts. Luo Lao Aiqing managed the people's livelihood and soothed the people's hearts. Finally, Waci's ambition to advance southward was blocked, so that
Only then can our border town of Ming Dynasty be peaceful... Qing and Yang Hong have made the territory of Ming Dynasty more peaceful for more than ten years, which should be the first." Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Luo Hengxin, who was already moved, and he said sincerely
.
Hearing this, both the Yang brothers and Luo Hengxin could not help but be moved to the point of embarrassment. Although the ministers in the court knew that the border town was the key to the Ming Dynasty, and it was located on the border, they needed to be constantly vigilant against the Ming Dynasty's old enemies.
Taking care of the people's livelihood and repairing armored troops abroad, for more than ten years, we have ensured peace in one area, and even forced Waci to dare not invade the south in a large scale. We have ensured peace and tranquility in the inner territory of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the eyes of the ministers in the court, such monstrous events seemed normal and ordinary. If you didn't experience the border towns, you wouldn't know how powerful the border towns were.
.The ministers who have experienced side affairs in the imperial court have long since aged. Those who have become officials, those who have taken care of their old age, and those who have served in the military have long since lost their vigor and courage in their early years. What is left is to rely on the kindness of their ancestors and fathers to make ends meet.
Only these old guys who live in border towns and know how powerful they are are struggling to support themselves.
But even so, the ministers in the court often criticize him, and often use the old Huangli from the time of Shizu as an example.
It's okay not to mention it. When Zhu Qizhen mentioned this, Luo Hengxin's eyes turned red immediately and he fell to the ground. "His Majesty, Bian Town... is suffering." The Yang brothers and Wang Jinchang also had hot eyes,
Then he prostrated himself to the ground.
Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to get up and help him, but Na Luo Hengxin was unwilling to get up." The veteran is now over sixty years old and has long been exhausted. If it were not for the safety of the border town of Ming Dynasty, why would he let those censors criticize the veteran?
The corpse is a plain meal, but you love the power and position and don't go there? Today, I have a lot of things in my heart that I don't want to express. If I don't say it anymore, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future..."
"Old Ai Qing, just tell me. I'm here to listen. Yuan Bin, quickly go get a pen and paper and write down your true knowledge and insights for future inquiry." Zhu Qizhen's cautious attitude
, Luo Hengxin was greatly comforted, and now he cheered up and recounted in detail what he had heard and seen in the border town over the years.
The border towns of the Ming Dynasty have a long history, starting from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the pursuit of Yuanmeng Yu on the grassland. The Beiyuan who fled outside the northern border fortress still harassed them from time to time, seriously threatening the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In order to consolidate the northern border defense, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly sent generals
During the Northern Expedition, at the same time, Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and other generals were also assigned to garrison the northern border fortress. During the Hongwu period, only soldiers born in the local area and those who were convicted and relegated to the garrison were allowed to guard the border. In case of border troubles, troops from the interior were mobilized, which were called guest troops.
.
At the time of Chengzu, Chengzu, who often marched north to the grasslands, believed that it was difficult to deal a devastating blow to Yuan and Meng with the power of frontier fortresses, so he ordered the troops of Randi to take turns guarding the borders, called border squads. One, they could
Increase the military strength of border towns to ensure the security of the rear, so that they can calmly use troops on the grassland.
Secondly, taking turns by boat can not only maintain the strength of the border towns to protect the rear, but also maintain the combat effectiveness of the armies of various parts of the Ming Dynasty when there is no war in the country.
However, what Chengzu did not expect was that although the border guards brought benefits, these soldiers who took turns guarding the border often wanted to return home and did not want to suffer the cold and cold over there. Gradually, more and more border soldiers fled.
The farming system of the Ming Dynasty's border army also began to be destroyed from the Xuande and Orthodox times. Princes, eunuchs, officers, etc. stationed in various border towns scrambled to occupy the farming land and used soldiers to farm for them. The soldiers could not bear the abuse.
Even more people fled.
Luo Hengxin, the governor of Xuanda, was well aware of the seriousness of the problem and was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the eunuchs and their private parties. He spared no effort to protect the farming system and issued severe memorials many times, but so far there has been no news.
Hearing that Zhu Qizhen's face was livid and frightened, his eyes were gleaming fiercely, and he felt an unspeakable anger in his heart. My sister, the soldiers who fought life and death, and those who worked hard on the side.
The people working in the town can hardly maintain their basic living security. Those noble vassal kings, those dead eunuchs, and some generals with corrupt moral character actually do this, allowing Zheng to show his ambitions and prepare to take action.
How can you not be annoyed and hate Zhu Qizhen who is using Xuanfu as his base to fight back on the grassland?! The second PS guaranteed update has arrived. Guys, the second update is here. Please give me some monthly tickets. It’s almost the end of the month. I can vote for anything.
