Chapter 1215 It is advisable to chase the poor pirates with the remaining courage
"I obey! I swear I will not return the Tartars until they are broken!" The generals accepted the order suddenly. Since the commander had made the decision, his subordinates naturally had no hesitation.
"Okay! Immediately organize your troops and pursue eastward!" Wang Xian ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The generals responded again and hurriedly divided their troops to prepare for departure.
Liu Sheng, the deputy commander, did not need to worry about those trivial matters. When everyone left, he looked at Wang Xian and hesitated to speak.
Wang Xian also looked at Liu Sheng, sighed and said: "As I told you before, who knows whether I will have a chance to lead troops next time..."
"My lord, when fighting foreign affairs, you must first make peace at home, so that you don't have to be controlled by others." Liu Sheng replied. But he also knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Wang Xian knew very well that when it came to grassland warfare, all the people tied together were not as experienced as Liu Sheng. If he wanted to catch up with Arutai and destroy the Tatar army, he would have to rely on him. He could not count on Liu Sheng, who had ulterior motives.
Nirvana, right?
If Liu Sheng is not given any hope, his emotions will definitely affect the next battle. So Wang Xian sighed again and whispered: "Let's talk about those things in detail after the battle..."
"Okay!" Liu Sheng's eyes lit up and he responded without hesitation. He looked at Wang Xian excitedly and saw that his face was still and there was no emotion at all.
But this was enough for Liu Sheng. His chest was beating loudly and he assured Wang Xian: "Don't worry, sir! I, Liu Sheng, spent the first half of my life on the grassland and desert, and I know this place better than my own backyard! I'm sure."
You can lead the army to catch up with Arutai and kill him without leaving any trace behind!"
"Why," Wang Xian said funny and good-naturedly: "Aren't you afraid of swamps? There are sandstorms in the Gobi?"
"Hehe," Liu Sheng sheepishly twitched his beard and said with a smile, "Man can conquer heaven, man can conquer heaven!"
"Aren't you afraid of showing off?" Wang Xian joked again.
"I'm sure I'm not afraid!" Liu Sheng raised his head and said plausibly: "My father-in-law has been destined by fate, how dare the god of plague cause trouble!"
Wang Xian glared at him helplessly and shouted: "Don't talk such nonsense in the future!"
"Don't say it, don't say it, just know it in your heart." Liu Sheng was scolded, but his face was full of smiles, and all the bones in his body felt lighter.
The Duke of Zhen Guo led an army to the Northern Expedition against the Tatars, and every move he made affected the hearts of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Hongxi even ordered Wang Xian to report back once a day, and was extremely concerned about the movements of the army.
Therefore, on the third day after the siege of Dawangcheng was lifted, the capital city received a good news from eight hundred miles away! It was learned that Wang Xian not only relieved the siege of Dawangcheng, but also joined forces with the defenders to annihilate 50,000 enemies!
The news of the great victory made the emperor and the bachelor heave a long sigh of relief. No matter how worried they were about Wang Xian, they still put state affairs first. At first, the Ming army hesitated to move forward, and the situation came that they were desperate. The emperor and the bachelor
They had been restless for several days, fearing that the Duke of Zhen, who had never led an expedition before, would make the same mistake as the Duke of Qi. Now the Ming Dynasty could not afford such a defeat!
They still sincerely hope that Wang Xian can successfully rescue the siege and drive the Tatars back to Mobei. Of course, if Zhen Guogong and Alutai can both lose, that would be the best...
But no matter what, it's always a good thing to win. Emperor Hongxi and his bachelors could finally relax their tense nerves, steal half a day of leisure, and take a short vacation.
The people in the capital did not have the complicated mood of the emperor and academicians. When they heard the news of the army's victory, they all cheered excitedly. They were also really worried that the young Duke Zhenguo would lose the military power of the Ming Dynasty.
And from the most realistic point of view, if Zhen Guogong loses this battle, the Xuanda Great Wall will become the front line, and the Tatar troops can reach Juyongguan at any time. The city of Beijing will be in danger, and all the people in the capital will suffer...
But fortunately, the Zhenguo Duke lived up to his reputation and killed 50,000 Tatars in one battle. This was really a great victory that had not been seen in many years!
The Ming Dynasty's power has been preserved! The Mongols are still defeated! There is no need to worry about the safety of Beijing. Let's relieve our anger! Boost our energy! Let us breathe a huge sigh of relief!
The people in the capital were extremely happy and went to the shops to buy wine and meat, preparing to celebrate. Many shops even provided wine and meat for free to celebrate the king's victory over the Tartars. As a result, just at noon that day, the wine and meat in the capital were sold out.
On the way home, Yang Shiqi was asked to send someone to buy some wine. Yang Shiqi was going to have a drink in the evening, but he didn't get a drop of wine.
Being out of wine was a trivial matter, but Yang Shoufu was the best at seeing the subtle things, and immediately realized that there seemed to be something wrong behind this. He hurriedly ordered people to get off the sedan chair, and paid a private visit incognito in person to understand the sentiments of the people.
Yang Shiqi walked on the street, and all he heard was how the Duke of Zhen loved his soldiers as much as his own son, how heroic the Duke of Zhen was in battle, and how the Duke of Zhen had clever calculations... He counted secretly, and after walking a hundred steps, he heard eighty
Once upon a time, he was the duke of the country, and all of them had good words of praise, not a single slanderous word!
This made the hairs on Yang Shiqi's body stand up. He couldn't believe that he had been secretly arranging for many years and slandering Wang Xian in every possible way, but he could not match the power of Wang Xian in one battle!
Yang Shiqi was unwilling to give up. He stopped next to a group of people who were spitting and praising Wang Xian. While they were talking, he interjected: "Don't you all say that Wang Xian is Cao Cao, a white-faced person like Sima Yi? Such a person,
What’s so happy about winning a battle?”
"Who said Duke Zhen Guo is a fair-faced man?" A muscular man with a bad temper said with a bull's eye: "He is our great hero!"
"That's right, the government is full of cowardice, and a group of officials know how to take bribes. It's a shame that the Duke of Zhen is the backbone!" A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar said angrily: "If the Duke of Zhen turns pale,
What are they?"
"That's right! So what if the Duke of Zhen is a bastard? It doesn't have anything to do with us. As long as he can beat the Tatars and protect the country, he is a good bastard!" After the words were rushed, the common people actually said, 'It's treasonous.
'The words come.
"What have you been deceived by?" Yang Shiqi, who has been in a high position for many years, has forgotten how to treat himself as an ordinary person, and angrily scolds these unscrupulous people: "You are actually collaborating with those who deceive the world and steal the country.
!”
"What the hell are you farting at?" The grumpy man at first refused to give in. He grabbed Yang Shiqi's collar and shouted angrily: "Look at the shit you are wearing, why don't you speak human words?!"
The others also glared at Yang Shiqi angrily.
"What are you going to do? Let me go!" Yang Shiqi, despite his status, was grabbed by the collar and became furious: "How dare you touch me!"
In order not to disturb the chief minister's observation of the public sentiment, Yang Shiqi's entourage originally stayed far behind. When they saw Yang Shiqi being grabbed, they hurried over in panic.
"I haven't made a move yet! You old man, see clearly, this is called taking action!" The man raised his hand and gave him a hard slap in the face.
Yang Shiqi felt as if half of his face had been hit by a carriage. His body suddenly turned to one side, and he fell straight to the ground as if he were chopping down a tree. His face hit the ground hard again. Immediately, he felt dizzy, his ears were ringing, his eyes were filled with stars, and his mouth and nose hurt.
Lost consciousness...
At this time, Yang Shiqi's followers arrived and saw that the chief assistant was knocked to the ground by a slap, and his mouth and nose were all bloody. Several people were so frightened that they hurried forward and helped the chief assistant up with all their hands and feet.
, and then I remembered to catch the perpetrator, but to my surprise, that person had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the beaten old man had come from nowhere, the others dispersed in a hurry, and none of Yang Shiqi's followers caught him...
Soon, a sedan was carried over, and Yang Shiqi, who had half of his face and a swollen mouth, was carried onto the sedan and rushed to the Tai Hospital for treatment.
The doctor at the Imperial Hospital was also shocked when he saw it. He thought to himself, who is so brave and dares to beat the old chief minister like this? Although Yang Shiqi's followers insisted that he fell accidentally, only a blind man would believe this, because Yang Shiqi
Half of his face was clearly marked with a slap mark!
Of course, no one dared to tell the truth. The imperial doctors quickly treated the wounds of the Chief Assistant. Although they looked scary, they were just superficial wounds and would be over in a short time.
The followers helped Yang Shiqi get on the sedan again. After hearing the news, the Yin of the Shuntian Prefecture came and saw that half of the chief assistant's face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was covered with green and black ointment. There was no trace of half a hundred officials.
, the majesty of an important minister of the country?
Shuntian Prefecture Yin snickered in his heart, but his face was filled with grief. He pretended to slap himself hard, and apologized with sincerity and fear: "I deserve death for my crime. I actually let the chief minister be attacked in the capital. But please don't worry, chief minister."
, I have sent people to capture the murderer, and I will definitely bring him to justice to vent my anger on the Chief Assistant!"
But Yang Shiqi waved his hand, as if he didn't want him to do this. Shuntian Prefecture Yin thought that Yang Shiqi was pretending, so he quickly made a promise: "I promise that the murderer will be arrested before dark!"
"Stop bothering," Yang Shiqi had no choice but to endure the pain, twitching the corners of his mouth, waving his hand to let the Shuntian Prefecture Yin leave: "Go and do what you have to do..."
"The old chief minister is really the prime minister's heart, and the lower official is in admiration. The old chief minister rests in peace, and the lower official resigned..." The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture hoped that Yang Shiqi would not pursue the case, otherwise he would definitely not get any good results if this matter broke out.
Eat. Thank you very much and leave quickly.
As soon as Shuntian Prefecture Yin left, Yang Shiqi's follower said angrily: "Master, how could you let that guy go!"
Yang Shiqi glared at the follower angrily and said vaguely: "Don't you think I'm not embarrassed enough?"
"Then let's go back home?" The servant asked in a low voice, feeling bored.
"Entering the palace, I want to meet the Holy Spirit." After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.
The bearers carried Yang Shiqi to the Qianqing Palace. Sitting on the sedan chair, Yang Shiqi's teeth twitched and his teeth finally fell out.
Just as Yang Shiqi was about to open his mouth and spit out the tooth, the sedan suddenly bumped violently. Yang Shiqi rolled his eyes and actually swallowed the tooth. He hurriedly retched and tried to spit out the tooth, but it was all in vain.
.I had no choice but to give up trying, and smiled bitterly to myself while sitting in the sedan chair, thinking to myself: "I'm really going to knock my teeth out and swallow them..."
