Ye Xian was also puzzled in his heart. He was clearly about to give a complete explanation, but the other side suddenly paid for his troops and retreated from the valley entrance, allowing the Wala army to escape.
Now I no longer have any ambitions. I just want to take the remaining defeated soldiers, meet up with Boyan Timur, and then rush back to Telangguti in the west of Oara. I will never come to the Ming Dynasty again for a while.
The remnant soldiers of Oara fled frantically for half a day, and it was not until the afternoon that they encountered Boyan Timur's army.
Boyan Timur's heart also felt cold after hearing the result of the battle of Xuanfu. He couldn't help but complained: "I said a long time ago that we should just stop when we are good.
The eldest brother insisted on attacking Beijing. Now it's better. There are more than 20,000 troops left among the 80,000 troops. The strategic advantages gained from the previous victory at Tumu Fort were now squandered. "
He shook his head first and said, "Now that the matter is over, what more can be said?"
The two brothers complained and prepared to continue on their way.
However, the Supreme Emperor has too many possessions, which were not visible when the Wala army was strong in the past. Now that the Wala army has become a bereaved dog and is running for its life like crazy, it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to slowly drive away in a chariot.
Besides, I have already had my opinion. The chariot is specially made. Zhu Qizhen can let his beautiful concubine sit on him. As the chariot moves forward, it will naturally bump up and down, which is very pleasant.
Can you be convinced of this first? He worked hard to fight with his head up, and he won so smoothly before, but he couldn't even sleep with a man or woman. As for the Supreme Emperor, he was just a prisoner, but he was surrounded by more than a dozen stunning beauties every day, enjoying all the blessings of others.
The world is so unfair!
However, there was still a trace of reason left, and in the end he did not attack the Emperor's women. He only ordered that the Emperor's chariot, ceremonial guards, concubines, maids, guards, and eunuchs be all left behind.
Even Yuan Bin, Ma Liang, and Ha Ming were all thrown on the road.
The only ones who were taken away first were Zhu Qizhen and reluctantly the eunuch Xi Ning.
Zhu Qizhen, the poor emperor, was carried on horseback by a strong man from Wala and galloped away.
Zhu Qizhen had to face this sudden change without even understanding the situation. Originally, Wala had always respected the Supreme Emperor, but now his attitude suddenly changed.
This is going to be fatal. Zhu Qizhen has always been pampered. Even when he was a prisoner, he still had beautiful cars and beauties sent by his good brother, good sister-in-law, and good wife, as well as all kinds of exquisite and meticulous daily necessities. thing.
All is lost now.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out. Didn't he agree to go to the Xuan Mansion to call the door? Didn't he want to cooperate with the noble five thousand servants inside and outside? Why was he so suddenly defeated?
On the way to retreat, when the Oara army passed by Datong, the situation became even more strange: Shi Heng, Sun Boring, Liu Yongcheng, and Guo Deng were all strangely silent.
No Ming army launched an attack. Not only did Guo Deng not attack, he also publicly gave 30,000 shi of military rations to the Wala army.
Along with the military rations, there was also a handwritten letter written by Zhu Qiyu to Ye Xian, to the effect that if Ye Xian was willing to return it to the Emperor, the Emperor would give him a generous reward.
If the emperor is unwilling to return the emperor for the time being, then the emperor will send thirty thousand shi of military rations. He hopes to get the rations first and return to Oara quietly without hurting or abusing the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu's letter is full of sincerity and sincerity, making it hard for people to find fault.
Without further ado, he collected the military supplies and led more than 20,000 defeated soldiers to exit the Great Wall from Yanghekou and enter the grasslands.
Everything calmed down from then on.
The next day, the emperor's edict reached Datong: Yang Shan, Xing'an, Jin Ying, and the 10,000 Xuanfu fugitive troops in Datong City were all sent to serve in front of Wang Ji's army.
Cheng Jing was sent to Nanjing as deputy garrison eunuch.
Liu An, the Bo of Guangning, was appointed as the Right Governor of the Nanjing Right Army Governor's Mansion.
Guo Deng took over as the chief military officer of Datong.
Wang Zhi's request to become an official was rejected, and he continued to investigate civil and military officials in Datong.
At this point, Shanxi returned to military peace.
However, soon after, Shanxi will serve as the emperor's pilot province and begin comprehensive reforms.
…
November 27th, early morning.
Prince Qi's Mansion, West Flower Hall.
Zhu Qiyu lay leisurely on the couch, looking at the congratulatory ministers with a smile on his face.
These important officials who had been in the officialdom for decades also lost their composure after seeing the latest military report from the Xuanfu.
Zhu Qiyu didn't mind everyone's gaffe. In the past three months, the ministers had been under too much pressure.
Now not only had Beijing and the Ming Dynasty been saved, but Rang also led an army of 80,000 to Beijing in a mighty manner, and finally led more than 20,000 people to roll back to Oara in despair.
What a damn relief for the ministers.
Zhu Qiyu's mentality was not bad. Among the things the emperor had to do, fighting was the easiest. And reform is the most troublesome.
Although Taizu established many good rules, the pits he dug were not at all old and young.
One is a Ming Dynasty treasure note, and the other is a military garrison.
These two are the top priorities of Zhu Qiyu's next reform tasks, and they are also the two most troublesome things.
Just when Zhu Qiyu frowned, the ministers also realized his gaffe.
The ministers thought that the emperor frowned because he was unhappy about being left out, so they all knelt down and shouted long live the Holy Emperor and long live the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.
Wang Wen immediately flattered us: "Our army was able to win so easily because of His Majesty's sage and solemn power. Especially the sudden addition of 20,000 elite cavalry from the Shaanxi frontier army was a stroke of genius. It completely changed the battlefield situation in one fell swoop." "
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and smiled at everyone: "I will not take away the merits of my ministers. Xing'anhou is really a rare general. Let's not talk about his repeated military exploits in this war. Let's just say that he has been guarding Shaanxi for these years. Not only can he resist The Hulu invasion ensured peace, and also brought out 40,000 to 50,000 elite border troops.
The defense of the capital was so successful this time, and the Marquis of Xing'an and the Shaanxi frontier army made great contributions.
I decided to make the Marquis of Xing'an the first in meritorious service in saving the nation, and the Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Duke of An.
Shanxi is a complete counterexample. I don’t understand what Shanxi’s governor, commander-in-chief, generals, and chief envoys have been doing for so many years. "
Wang Wen heard the words and quickly replied: "Your Majesty is wise, the Marquis of Xing'an has worked hard and made great achievements. It is natural for him to be promoted to the Duke of the country. As for Shanxi, your Majesty previously ordered the homes of more than ten generals to be confiscated. Now their properties in the capital have been initially searched. Please take a look at them." .”
After saying that, Wang Wen handed over a memorial.
Zhu Qiyu took it and took a look. Well, there were only thirty to fifty thousand taels in the small ones, and eight or ninety thousand taels in the large ones. The families of these generals were really rich.
Seeing the emperor's frown, Wang Wen quickly explained: "This is just the property they bought in the capital. The property in Xuanfu and their hometown is no less than this."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand helplessly: "The young woman will be sent to Jiaofangsi, and the rest of the family will be exiled."
Wang Wen quickly bowed and accepted the order.
Zhu Qiyu continued to give instructions: "Wang Aiqing, from now on, you will also serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and you will be responsible for both the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate.
I hope you and Yu Aiqing will work together to conduct a thorough investigation of Shanxi. "
When Wang Wen heard this, he was very happy and quickly knelt down to thank him. Three months ago, he was just the censor of Zuodu. Now in the blink of an eye, he became the prince Shaobao, the bachelor of Zuo Chunfang, the censor of Zuodu, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment. Moreover, at the beginning of the dynasty, when the emperor wants to reward all his ministers, he will definitely continue to be promoted. It is inevitable to be promoted to Dongge University Bachelor, and it is possible to add a crown prince and Taibao.
Therefore, choice is greater than effort, and it is better to follow the right person. The emperor has nothing to say about his cronies.
Zhu Qiyu told everyone again: "The next step is to prepare for the Zhengdan Dynasty. In more than ten days, the vassal kings and local civil and military officials will come to Beijing one after another. You must make all arrangements properly.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Alazhi Yuan have publicly broken with Ye Xian and will also go to Beijing for pilgrimage this time. Especially Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, who will bring his whole family to Beijing this time.
Moreover, Tuotuo Buhua will also present the Great Yuan Jade Seal at the Fengtian Hall at the Zhengdan Great Court Meeting and consecrate me as the Khan of Heaven.
Do you have any objections to me serving as the Heavenly Khan this time? "
