Although he was fighting a tough battle and chewing the hedgehog formation under the city of Beijing, he was dizzy and miserable at first.
But as soon as he escaped from the capital and entered the mobile battle, Ye Xian's mind was once again filled with aura of agility.
I also estimated my remaining troops first, and found that there were still as many as 110,000.
At this time, it was not known that Alazhiyuan had joined the camp of the Ming Emperor. In the previous attack on the camp, the barracks where the five hundred dead soldiers of Alazhiyuan were located were in the northwest corner, which was in the same direction as the Ming army broke in. In Ye Xian's knowledge, this group of people had been completely destroyed.
At that time, even if some Wala soldiers saw the rebel behavior of these dead soldiers, they would be hacked to death by the Ming army soon afterwards. Therefore, without any evidence, Ye Xian remained in the dark and counted Alazhiyuan's 30,000 troops as part of his own power.
In this way, self-confidence was restored first. As long as the 110,000 troops no longer entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty for military adventures, they would still have the initiative strategically.
After all, Shanxi is still the home ground of the Wala army. With the deliberate connivance of Xuande, Zhengtong, and Sanyang, the civil servants and generals in Shanxi are inextricably linked to the Wala from top to bottom. In particular, Yang Shiqi, who was the chief assistant of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War at the time, also deployed his close associates to guard Shanxi. These people are still in Shanxi today.
Therefore, as long as they enter Shanxi, at least at the intelligence level, Wala is far stronger than the Ming Dynasty's Beijing army. This is why the Ming army was ambushed three times in Shanxi and the entire army was destroyed each time. Even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was sent away in Tumubao inconceivably.
When I think about the different experiences I had in Shanxi and Beijing, I can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, almost crying. If my loyal minister Yang Shiqi was still there, how could he have been defeated today.
Now, first of all, the prince who was canonized by Emperor Ming Dynasty himself can also be called a lonely man, so to use Cao Cao's famous saying: If Yang Shiqi is here, he will not be alone here.
At the beginning of the orthodoxy, when the emperor was young, it was the loyal chief assistant Yang who took advantage of the opportunity of assisting the government to dismiss the detective school captain of Jinyiwei.
The empress dowager Sun at that time neither understood nor cared. Not to mention the orthodox emperor at that time, he never understood the importance of the investigating officer.
It was not until the restoration of Suimen and the entry into the Tianshun Dynasty that Zhu Qizhen woke up from his dream and began to reuse the Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi Lugao. Lu Gaoguang sent the school captain to investigate the situation in all directions, and then resumed the Jinyiwei's reconnaissance and surveillance functions on the local area.
It's a pity that that was all a matter of the Tianshun Dynasty. In the Zhengtong Dynasty, thanks to Yang Shiqi, Shanxi was not under the supervision of the Jinyiwei, so he led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to ambush the Ming army in three battles. None of the three Jies were discovered in advance.
As the saying goes, once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit, not to mention the tens of thousands of elites in Wala, all with war horses. However, he led his army around Shanxi like this and set up ambushes three times, but no one cared about him at all.
For Ye Xian, Yang Shiqi should be credited with the first victory in civil engineering.
Why is it the first achievement? Because even though he has not read many books, he still understands that Guo Kai is the first god of war in the Qin Dynasty after Wu'an Jun Baiqi.
After sighing, he first ordered the 12,000 troops who had set up an ambush in advance to reorganize, plunder three days of rations nearby, and then go to capture Daoma Pass. As for himself, he led fifteen thousand defeated troops to Zijingguan.
This time Ye Xian's strategy was safer, dividing the army into two and attacking Zijing Pass and Daoma Pass at the same time. If both passes were captured, they could rely on the dangerous pass to advance and retreat freely.
If only one of the passes can be captured, then immediately lead the entire army into Shanxi from the captured pass, and then wait for an opportunity to set up an ambush.
I first thought that it was indeed wonderful. In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu took his little princess to the Yingzhou Guards Camp, had dinner with the meritorious soldiers, and then returned to the palace together.
Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to return to the palace, and ordered his bodyguard to drive a carriage around the palace several times.
Although he has lived here for three months, Zhu Qiyu still doesn't quite understand what's going on around him.
Now that he felt relaxed, after walking around a few times, Zhu Qiyu understood a few things.
First, his Prince Qi's Palace was quite close to Prince Yin's Palace. When Taizong was building the city of Beijing, he built a "Ten Prince's Palace" in Qingqingfang outside Dong'an Gate to accommodate the princes in Beijing. Prince Tan's Mansion is located at the southern end of the 'Ten Prince's Mansion' area.
To the north of Chengjifang, next to Mingzhaofang. His own Prince Qi's Mansion is at the south end of Mingzhaofang. The northern end of Mingzhaofang was the original Han Dynasty Palace, which was also occupied by the family.
Therefore, it is less than three miles from the main entrance of Prince Qi's Mansion to the main gate of Prince Tan's Mansion. It is roughly the distance from Chang'anmen Jinshui Bridge to Kunning Palace.
Second, the distance between my home and Dong'anmen is almost the same as that to Prince Xin's Mansion, which is also close to three miles. After entering Dong'an Gate, walk one mile forward to Donghua Gate. After entering Donghua Gate, you will arrive at the Wenhua Hall area of the Forbidden City.
If you arrive at Dong'anmen, don't go straight, but turn south, that is the famous Nangong.
Third, Zhu Qiyu found that his own security was really difficult to deal with. Mingzhaofang was a small square, only half the size of the Forbidden City. Now the eastern half is his own Prince Qi's Palace and Prince Han's Palace. If you want to be safe, you have to move all the houses on the west side, then surround the entire Mingzhaofang, and live in the middle area of Mingzhaofang.
Otherwise, if someone stands on the street and shoots an arrow, an unlucky person will fly to his bedroom.
So after returning to the bedroom, Zhu Qiyu immediately asked: "Princess, how much money does our family have in the treasury?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "There are less than 500,000 taels of silver and 250,000 taels of gold. For those we bet before, the Nu family only wants to get back the principal, and then receive a symbolic payment of several hundred thousand taels from the Sun family. Never mind.
If they were really asked to pay five times the compensation, then they would not be able to lose everything, and they would completely turn against each other in the future.
It is better to do as the sages said. The sage holds the left contract and does not blame others. "
"Excuse me, I understand the Tao Te Ching. I am usually modest and humble. Do you really think I haven't read the book? I also said: If you deal with big grievances, there will always be more grievances. If you repay grievances with virtue, you can do good deeds. ?
Today we have offended the Empress Dowager Sun's family, so don't do half-hearted things, and do it to the extreme. "
After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu added: "As for our palace, I understand today that it is completely hopeless: if we want to move the surrounding families away, it will be impossible to lose a million taels of white money." Can't handle it. Then it will cost another million taels to renovate and expand.
There is no point in doing this, it just wastes people and money. If you have that kind of money, you can keep it to support the army.
Moreover, the surrounding area is in a mess, with the Tenth Prince's Palace and the Huitong North Pavilion nearby, and there are also many eunuch residences nearby, so it's not a bustling place even if it isn't.
In the past, Xuanzong took his ministers to spring outings in the western suburbs every year. There was already a royal garden there. You sent someone to tidy it up a little. Let's run away as soon as the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting is over.
I took you to Yuquan Palace to soak in the hot springs and take a mandarin duck bath. "
Lin Xiangyu and the other beloved concubines in the room cheered together when they heard this. The room was as lively as the Chinese New Year, which shows that the beloved concubines have also been suffering from the golden bird cage in the capital for a long time.
