The tenth day of October.
Halfway through Mao time.
When a ray of glow appeared in the eastern sky.
Suddenly there were bursts of rapid horse hoofbeats on the official road more than thirty miles outside Juyang City.
Several soldiers were dressed in gorgeous leather armor, with bright yellow flags on their backs and majestic horses on their waists.
He rode his horse and galloped all the way up the official road.
The caravans that got up early along the way were all afraid to give way.
For fear of colliding with the soldiers who were galloping on their horses without any scruples.
Less than half an hour later.
Several famous soldiers died in front of the south gate of Juyang City and their horses gradually slowed down.
"Quickly report to Commander Sun! Go to Prince Yan's Mansion immediately to listen to the order!"
"Quickly report to Commander Sun! Go to Prince Yan's Mansion immediately to listen to the order!"
"Quickly report to Commander Sun! Go to Prince Yan's Mansion immediately to listen to the order!"
The leader, Fang Yi, passed through the south gate of Juyang City and shouted loudly in front of the goalkeeper who was rushing over.
The words are over.
Several people in gorgeous leather armor didn't even look at the goalkeeper who was clasping his fists in salute and wanting to chat with him.
He immediately flicked his riding whip and ran straight towards the east of Juyang City.
"General, who is this? Why are you so arrogant?"
One of the guards looked at his general with an indignant look on his face.
The goalkeeper sighed with a slightly gloomy expression.
Then he spoke slowly and said: "Hurry and report to Commander Sun, and tell the Royal Forest Army to invite him to Prince Yan's Mansion to listen to the order."
"Ah?!" The guard's complexion changed instantly when he heard this, and he murmured to himself in horror: "Forest Guards?!!"
The goalkeeper's expression became increasingly gloomy upon seeing this.
He suddenly raised his head and patted the frightened guard on the head.
Then he cursed angrily: "What are you doing standing still! Go quickly!"
"Ah." The guard came back to his senses instantly, bent down and said, "Yes, yes, my subordinate, go right now, go right now."
...
...
Halfway through Chen hour.
In front of the main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Sun Daohua and Xu Yi looked at each other, then straightened their clothes silently.
"Your Majesty, King Yi of Yan, respectfully welcomes His Majesty's decree."
"I, Sun Daohua, the governor of Shanggu County, respectfully welcome your Majesty's decree."
Xu Yi and Sun Daohua stepped forward one after the other, bowed their hands and saluted.
Wait until the two of them finish saluting.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says."
"Inform King Yi of Yan and the governor of Yandi."
"The barbarians have taken matters into their own hands and will not be punished for a long time."
"Time is violating the border, Doctor Labor."
"Your Majesty protects the world and protects the country."
"Then raise troops to conquer the Xiongnu in the north."
"..."
"..."
"However, the general was very powerful, but he failed to control his troops strictly and supervise the battle poorly, resulting in the loss of more than 10,000 troops."
"Therefore, I will be fined three years' salary and demoted three ranks."
"General Pi Jing, fornicating with foreign enemies and leading them to attack the stronghold."
"Therefore, punish the nine tribes to serve as a warning to others."
"General Pi was loyal and neglected his duties, causing the sergeants to rush into battle."
"Therefore, punish the nine tribes to serve as a warning to others."
"The captain of the garrison cavalry school retreated without permission, causing the army to collapse."
"Therefore, the family property was confiscated and the whole family was exiled thousands of miles away to serve as a warning to others."
"..."
"..."
"Let's raise weapons again today."
"Order, Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing Ling, command 5,000 steps and 3,000 cavalry to rush to Mobei's aid!"
"The people of the neighboring counties should hear that Feng raises the firewood."
"They all took their bows and galloped away, and their soldiers marched away."
"We sweat and sweat together, but we are afraid of being left behind!"
"Therefore, the border kings in various places raised an army of five thousand soldiers.
Rush to help Mobei. "
"Nian, King Yi of Yan is the vassal of Shangqian."
"Therefore, no troops will be raised this time."
"Here, King Yi of Yan, train your troops and horses hard to prepare for emergencies."
"You are anxious about the country's difficulties, but you are happy to serve others as a minister."
"Here, the governor of Yandi, be on guard against Juyong and Zijingguan."
"Don't let the barbarians cross the pass!"
"Appreciate this!"
"October 1, the 30th year of Zhengde's reign."
Wait until the leader of the Royal Forest Army reads the last word.
Xu Yi and Sun Daohua once again bowed their hands and said, "I obey your order."
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly stepped forward and took the imperial edict with both hands.
"General, please come into the mansion and rest for a while."
Xu Yi slowly stood up and exchanged greetings.
"General, I would like to thank His Highness King Yan for his kindness." The leader of the Royal Forest Army said with an apologetic clasped fist in salute: "However, general, there are still several orders that have not been delivered, so it is really inconvenient to stay for a long time."
Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then slowly said: "In that case, I will not leave the general alone. The general has a difficult journey, so I hope you will take care of yourself."
The leader of the Royal Forest Army trembled slightly when he heard this.
Then he cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "I would like to thank His Highness King Yan for his kindness."
The words are over.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army once again bowed and said goodbye.
After several Royal Forest Army figures completely disappeared behind the main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xu Yi glanced at Yang Xian'an, who was not far away, in an unobservable way.
Yang Xian'an nodded slightly, and then followed Xu Yi back to Prince Yan's Mansion as if nothing had happened.
...
...
Less than half an hour later.
Several Royal Forest Army cavalrymen rested temporarily in a tea shop more than ten miles east of Juyang City.
Just as he was making simple repairs, he got back on his horse and started on his way again.
Suddenly a horse came from the direction of the east gate of Juyang City.
"General, wait a moment."
Yang Xianan rode on his horse and shouted loudly before several imperial guards raised their whips.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Royal Guards glanced left and right, and then ordered: "Wait for me where you are."
The words are over.
Without waiting for Pao Ze's response.
He flicked his riding whip and ran straight towards Yang Xian'an.
"I don't know what the honor of Pingyi Bo calls the last general."
Halfway through the journey, the leader of the Royal Forest Army turned over and dismounted, then cupped his fists and said.
"After leaving Shanggu in the east, there is much desolation along the way."
"My sixth master specially prepared some water and dry food for the general."
"I hope the general won't take it too personally."
Yang Xian'an turned over and dismounted, slightly clasping his fists in return.
Then he took down a full package from the horse.
Pass it to the leader of the Royal Guards.
"Mo...General..." The leader of the Royal Forest Army looked at the package handed over by Yang Xian'an, his eyes turned slightly red, and his voice choked up slightly as he said, "General, I would like to thank His Highness King Yan for his kindness."
The words are over.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army took the package from Yang Xianan with slightly trembling hands.
Then he faced the east side of Juyang City and bowed solemnly.
"Take care, General, and say goodbye."
Yang Xian'an smiled and then said goodbye with fists in his hands.
After Yang Xian'an's figure completely disappeared from sight.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army still held the package and saluted east of Juyang City with great solemnity.
After more than ten breaths.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army held the package and got on his horse.
He drove his horse slowly to the side of several robes.
"Boss, His Highness Prince Yan gave it to you?"
A royal guard soldier said with disbelief on his face.
Along the way, the feudal kings I met along the way were either extremely arrogant or extremely cold.
Xu Yi is so kind to others and gives people a feeling of being like the wind.
I have never had such a feeling of spring breeze.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army nodded slightly, then opened the package and slowly replied: "After leaving Shanggu County, there are many deserted lands along the way."
"His Royal Highness King Yan is afraid that we will be hungry and thirsty."
"I asked Uncle Pingyi to bring us water and dry food."
As the package was slowly opened by the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
Bulging water bags and pieces of dry food instantly appeared in front of everyone.
When several imperial guards saw him, there was no hint of disgust in their eyes.
Instead, their eyes were full of gratitude.
There are very few people from poor families who can become the Imperial Guards.
And among the imperial guards who can go out of the capital and convey orders to the kings and officials in the feudal territories, there will be no one from a poor family.
Such people are never short of money.
But caring from the heart.
Especially in the process of conveying orders to the kings, he often encountered cold treatment.
A sudden concern at this time is really worth a thousand taels of silver.
"Yan...His Royal Highness Yan is so...so nice."
A royal guard soldier turned his head and murmured in a low voice with red eyes.
"yes."
Hearing this, the rest couldn't help but nodded silently and replied.
...
...
Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xu Yi was sitting in the study room of the side hall.
Quietly looking at the imperial edict spread out on the desk.
If this imperial edict can be summarized, it can be roughly divided into four key points.
First, it explains why the imperial court frequently sent troops to Mobei.
The so-called teacher is famous, nothing better than this.
Secondly, from the perspective of the imperial court, it "objectively" explained the failure of Mobei.
And severe punishments were imposed on generals who had committed crimes.
This will wake up the generals later.
Third, the vassal kings of border counties were ordered to send troops to Mobei.
As the saying goes, "The people of the border counties should hear that the beacon is raising the firewood."
"They all took their bows and galloped away, and their soldiers marched away."
"We sweat and sweat together, but we are afraid of being left behind!"
The general meaning is: You and other people in the border counties should pick up their weapons, mount their horses and rush to the battlefield as soon as they hear that the beacon fire is burning.
Even if the sweat keeps flowing, don't fall behind others.
The hidden meaning behind this statement is nothing more than a warning to the vassal kings of border counties that it is your duty to protect your family and country, and do not try to be clever for the court.
Fourth, he urged Xu Yi to train his troops well, and urged the governors of the two counties in Yandi to strictly guard the Juyong and Zijin Passes.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi slowly stood up and put away the imperial edict placed on the desk.
Then he slowly walked to the window sill.
After gently pushing open the window sill, Xu Yi stared expressionlessly at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his back.
The contents of Emperor Zhengde's imperial edict are basically consistent with the news sent by Xu Zhen through "Tianganwu".
This means that Xu Yi's previous speculations are very likely to become reality.
Such as taking advantage of the battle in Mobei to secretly cut down the vassal state.
"Since this imperial edict, the root of the disaster has been completely buried."
"As short as one year, as long as three years."
"There will be chaos in the world!"
Xu Yi stared at the scene outside the window and couldn't help but murmured in his heart.
After a while.
Xu Yi slowly retracted his gaze from the window.
He sighed slightly and said, "Time waits for us."
The words are over.
Xu Yi walked slowly to the desk.
After simply grinding the ink, take a piece of white rice paper and lay it flat on the writing desk.
Then he slowly took his seat and drew large buildings on the white rice paper.
After a while.
The white rice paper has been neatly
More than ten large buildings are lined up on the ground.
Xu Yi paused slightly.
Then he wrote again to nominate them one by one.
Spinning workshop, spinning warehouse, sewing workshop and drying area.
Textile workshop, textile warehouse, sewing workshop, garment warehouse.
A warehouse, a labor room, a dining hall, a hut...
Wait until the ink is completely dry.
Xu Yi patted his palms gently and said calmly: "Goodbye."
Yang Xian'an, who had already returned from outside the city, heard the words and gently opened the study door.
"Sixth Master."
Yang Xian'an stood two steps away from Xu Yi, cupped his hands and saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then motioned Yang Xianan to step forward.
Wait for it to go up and down.
Xu Yi handed Yang Xianan the already dried workshop layout diagram in front of him.
Then he ordered: "From now on, we will go all out to build the workshop in the city and strive to complete it as soon as possible."
"When the construction is over half way, we will quickly hire a thousand female workers in the city."
Yang Xian'an took the layout plan handed over by Xu Yi with both hands, then raised his hands and saluted, "I obey your order!"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then took out two folded rice papers from his arms.
He handed it to Yang Xianan with great solemnity.
Then he ordered: "These two pictures, one is the Qiusheng spinning machine and the other is the flying shuttle spinning machine."
"Later, these two pictures will be handed over to Liang Gongzheng of the Gongzheng Institute."
"Order him to immediately lead the craftsmen of the factory to build the Qiusheng spinning machine and the flying shuttle spinning machine."
"Among them, two hundred Qiusheng spinning machines need to be built, and five hundred flying shuttle spinning machines need to be built."
"If you are short of manpower, go to Wang Camp to mobilize soldiers to help!"
"Instruct them to build the two required machines in the shortest possible time!"
"In addition, it is strictly prohibited for anyone to leak the drawings and other items of the Qiu Sheng spinning machine and the shuttle spinning machine to the outside world."
"Those who disobey the order will be expelled from the palace and will not be allowed to return to the palace for life."
"Heavy responsibilities are punished with fine details!"
The words are over.
Yang Xian'an took the two pieces of rice paper handed over by Xu Yi with a solemn face.
Then he solemnly bowed his hands and said, "I obey your order!"
Xu Yi paused for a moment, then continued his instructions: "Immediately send orders to Zhu Zongting and Zhu Zongnian."
"He is ordered to deploy 30% of the blast furnaces and 800 blacksmiths from now on."
"Used to make iron sheets three inches square and half an inch thick."
"The four corners of each iron piece need to be shaped into holes, and each iron piece needs to be equipped with four iron nails corresponding to the four holes."
"Each nail needs to be one inch long."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xian'an's face became more serious, and he bowed his hands again and said, "I obey your order!"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go."
"Yes." Yang Xian'an said with a serious face and bowed his hands.
After Yang Xian'an's figure slowly disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi slowly raised his hands, made a strange shape, and blew softly.
A series of whistles implying a certain special rhythm came out of his mouth.
Then quickly dissipated in Chengyun Hall.
After more than a hundred breaths.
Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the closed door of the side hall study.
"Enter."
Before the person outside knocked on the door, Xu Yi slowly raised his head and looked at the closed study door and said.
"yes."
The leader of Wenxin paused for a moment, then gently opened the door and stepped in.
"I ask my heart to pay homage to the master."
Leader Wenxin stopped two steps away from Xu Yi and saluted respectfully.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then leaned over and took out a locked rosewood treasure box from under the desk.
After opening the rosewood treasure box with the key.
Xu Yi took out a thick stack of silver notes from the treasure box.
"From now on, we will allocate five people to ask their hearts and bring them some silver to find them.
Song Yuanfu, the owner of Song's Trading Company. "
"Order him to purchase 100,000 shi of grain in the shortest possible time and transport it to Juyang City!"
Xu Yi handed a thick stack of silver notes to leader Wenxin.
Although Song Yuanfu was talented in business, the foundation of Song's business was still shallow.
Nowadays, the situation is changing rapidly, and Xu Yi naturally cannot wait for it to develop and grow slowly.
Leader Wenxin took the banknote with both hands and solemnly saluted: "As ordered!"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then waved his hand slightly and said, "Go."
"Follow the order." After hearing this, the leader of Wenxin bowed his hands and said in salute.
After the figure of leader Wen Xin completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi slowly stood up again and walked to the window sill with a serious face.
His eyes looked particularly deeply at the scenery outside the window.
This gaze lasted for half an hour.
No one knows what he thought or decided during this half hour.
No one knows what impact this day will have on the entire world.
But it is not difficult to find if you are careful.
The entire Prince Yan's palace has overt and covert forces.
From this day on, everything started moving!
