Zhu Yunwen is gone after all.
In the early morning when no one was paying attention, he rode a horse and brought a knife and a jug of wine that he wanted.
In addition, the military arsenal document also prepared a bow, a crossbow, and a gun for him, totaling 60 bows and arrows and 60 crossbow arrows.
Fortunately, the horse Zhu Yunwen rode was very powerful. With these equipment, the horse did not feel tired when running.
Because of the rebellion in Taiyuan City, there were few people on the official roads outside Taiyuan City.
It was at noon after the snow that Zhu Yunwen was walking on the official road to the north in the sunshine.
No one sent him off, and no one stopped him.
It's just on the gate tower of Yuanmen, North Town, Taiyuan City.
A few people were standing quietly behind the city wall, silently watching the people riding on the official road outside the city.
Zhu Yunxi changed his clothes, and wore a pure black cloak over an indigo trail. He held a hand to warm the stove. Surrounded by several people, he looked calmly at Zhu Yunwen who was traveling north.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan frowned.
He didn't agree with letting Zhu Yunwen go north alone to find Liu Zongsheng and others on the vast grassland.
Not to mention the vastness of the grassland, where can one find enemies?
Even Zhu Yunwen, if he met Liu Zongsheng and others, how would he take revenge.
Gao Yangzhi had some admiration in his eyes.
What he was originally worried about didn't happen. The cripple didn't resent his grandson because of the missing child. It was the best result that he didn't bring any bad influence to the clan in such a stormy time.
Gao Yangzhi stared at Zhu Yunxi's back, who had reached the end of the official road and was walking away.
He sang in a low voice with a solemn expression.
"I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."
Wang Xinling, the young governor of the General Affairs Department, tilted his head and looked sideways at the senior who was also young but already in the cabinet.
Gao Yangzhi looked sideways with a smile on his face: "If he can return to the Central Plains safely, I will add another beauty to the supreme glory of the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Xinling nodded in understanding.
The Central Plains has never lacked stories of heroes and heroic feats.
Zhu Yunwen went out alone to seek revenge.
No matter what the outcome is, as long as he can come back, he will become a hero in the whole world.
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly, holding the hand heater and turning his arms.
Zhang Hui, the official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei who was waiting by the side, immediately bowed forward and carefully took the heater handed over by the emperor's grandson.
Sun Cheng, the governor, and Tian Mai, the secret guard, were also rushing to the border because they failed to stop Liu Zongsheng and other White Lotus rebels in Taiyuan City.
Taisun's decree cannot be changed.
Before these rebels are found, it is probably impossible for the two of them to return to their grandson.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hui temporarily got the opportunity to work beside Zhu Yunxi.
After delivering the heater, Zhu Yunxi sighed: "I just hope he won't leave."
"Your Highness is merciful, but this is the best outcome."
Gao Yangzhi comforted in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I don't know, it's just..."
He rarely showed some indecision.
Zhu Fan gave a cold shout, raised his hand and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, glaring and saying: "This is Brother Wen's own choice. Besides, at the moment, there are many things that need you to take charge of in Taiyuan City and Shanxi Road. Don’t hesitate too much anymore.”
Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at Gao Yangzhi: "Is everything going well now?"
Gao Yangzhi immediately replied: "Zhang Baihu is leading interrogations in each yamen in Taiyuan City, and there are no officials left behind in the city. The officials accompanying the Northern Inspection Patrol have also begun to take over the affairs of each yamen. I think they will be able to get started in a few days."
The Shanxi merchants and gentry who participated in the rebellion in Taiyuan City have also been confiscated one by one, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs are counting money, food and grass everywhere. Because the amount is large and widely distributed, it will take several days to sort it out. "
"Where's the Taiyuan City garrison?"
Zhu Yunxi asked another question.
Compared with Shanxi Road's officialdom and the confiscation of Shanxi merchants and gentry's money and food, the stability of Shanxi Road's soldiers and horses is more important.
This was a matter for the military. Gao Yangzhi closed his mouth and looked sideways at Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen who had been silent for a long time.
Cao Zhen immediately stepped forward and raised his fists with a snap: "Back to Your Highness, with the assistance of Shanxi Daodu Commander Sidu Commander Qianshi Wei Ben, people in the Taiyuan City garrison who have connections with the rebels have been He was found out and handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation.
Wei Bi also handed over the list of Shanxi guards that he knew had had dealings with rebels in the past few years. As for the rest that he didn't know about, Jin Yiwei investigated and traced it through existing people. "
Zhu Yunxi frowned in thought, gently turning the white jade finger on his thumb.
After a while, he spoke again: "Ask the soldiers and horses of the guards of the Taiyuan Prefecture to switch defenses with the Henan Road Guards. Tell Yu Ma to control the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Road first, and wait for the Jinyi Guards to find out. Take them one by one.
The Marquis of Xiping, Muying, was ordered to lead his troops back to the capital and take turns. The three guards from the Prince of Zhou's Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace were transferred to Taiyuan. When the morale of the Shanxi army was not stable, Zhongliang still needed to be in charge to deter Xiaoxiao. "
Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen looked at each other and bowed at the same time.
"I accept your order."
Zhu Yunxi said again: "I have ordered the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road to allocate this year's autumn grain to Peiping, and hand it over to the Beiping Dusi for transfer to Datong Prefecture."
After several successive edicts, the latest one made everyone present hesitate.
Gao Yangzhi raised his head and stared solemnly at the young but already mature and experienced emperor grandson in front of him.
Cao Zhen looked excited.
Zhu Fan rubbed his hands.
If everything goes well, when the grain and grass from Jiaozhi Road arrive in Datong, and when spring starts next year and the snow melts outside the pass and the road becomes solid, it will be time for Zhu Yunxi to personally lead his troops to the north to conquer the grasslands and drive out the remnants of the Yuan thieves.
As long as the emperor's original decree was there, no one could raise objections.
In fact, several people knew it vaguely.
After this northern inspection, Taisun will probably officially take over the military and political affairs of the empire.
In the capital, the emperor is rarely seen in recent newspapers. On weekdays, all matters of the court are handled by the prince.
No one is sure whether the emperor will suddenly tell the world to abdicate the throne to the prince one day.
By that time, the grandson of the emperor in front of him will naturally become the crown prince.
The prince lives in the middle palace and cannot leave easily.
Before that, this northern patrol could be said to be Zhu Yunxi's last opportunity to act in such a big way.
Stabilizing the Wara tribe and conquering the Tatar tribe were the most important reasons for Zhu Yunxi's tour to the north of Beijing.
At a time when everyone has different thoughts.
Officers and soldiers rushed over from the tower and knelt on the ground in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"I would like to report to Your Highness that there is a person from the Tatar tribe who claims to be an envoy and wishes to meet with Your Highness to discuss the matter of conquering the Oara tribe in the west."
The officers and soldiers didn't know what happened on the tower just now.
After he finished speaking.
Everyone, including Zhu Yunxi, had strange expressions.
The people of the Tatar tribe said that they would join the Ming Dynasty in conquering the Oara tribe in the west.
It's really a big joke.
Not to mention, there are still a group of Tatar envoys in Taiyuan City at this time.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the people around him.
Zhu Fan immediately sneered and said: "The people who invaded the palace this time were a group of outsiders. I think this group of people can't escape, so in order to protect themselves, Yang Cheng is an envoy."
Gao Yangzhi was also a little surprised: "If it was really an envoy, the border should have reported it early."
Cao Zhen spoke concisely and concisely: "Your Highness, you give the order, and I will chop off the heads of these thieves right now!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and waved his hand.
He walked to the inside of the city wall and looked down from above.
I saw a group of Tatars guarding two men under the city tower.
With a sneer on his face, Zhu Yunxi never looked back and asked in a low voice: "Have all the returned traitors in the city been identified and convicted?"
Gao Yangzhi stepped forward and replied: "The law of the Ming Dynasty states that if anyone is involved in rebellion or rebellion, regardless of whether he is a master or a subordinate, he will be killed."
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction: "Then please invite these 'Tatar envoys' to the school grounds in the city."
Gao Yangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
He immediately said: "I accept the order, and let the rebels be escorted to the school grounds and executed for their crimes."
Downstairs of Zhenyuan Gate.
Arutai and his son Abu were alone, guarded by the only remaining tribal warriors, waiting uneasily on the side of the street.
The two of them raised their heads from time to time and looked at the tower that was more than four feet high.
And half an hour ago.
Somewhere in Taiyuan City, there was a remote and dilapidated house where Alutai and others were hiding.
People kept coming back from outside to report every move of the officers and soldiers in the city.
Arutai's face was solemn. He sat on the main seat in front of the hall and said nothing for a long time.
Abu's face was full of anxiety, and he kept pacing back and forth in front of his father Arutai with his hands clasped.
"Lord, we only have less than twenty people left in the city."
"Right now, Ming court officers and soldiers are guarding everywhere in the city, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets. We can't find a way to escape from the city..."
A follower rushed back and reported in a deep voice.
Abu's face became more and more anxious. He turned back to look at his silent father, then turned to look at his entourage, and asked: "What is the government doing now? Where is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor now?"
The attendant replied: "The government officials are checking houses and houses everywhere. If we don't leave, they will check here soon. As for the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that he is leading people at Zhenyuan Gate. "
Abu's heartbeat quickened, and he waved to his entourage irritably.
When the entourage left, Abu turned around and walked to his father Arutai.
"Father!"
Abu called me in a deep voice.
But Arutai remained silent and did not say a word.
Abu was anxious in his heart and said in a more serious tone: "Father! If we don't make a decision, we will definitely die in Taiyuan City today!
Whether you want to leave or stay, you have to make a decision! "
Arutai remained silent, not even moving.
After a while, when Abu was about to lose his patience.
Arutai then slowly raised his head, his eyes calmly staring at Abu Ji'an in front of him.
Abjie immediately said anxiously: "Father, there are less than twenty of us left now, and the people from the Ming court are about to find this place. We should escape from here."
Arutai frowned slightly: "Abu, do we have a way to escape from Taiyuan City now?"
Abu shook his head hesitantly: "No."
There was a hint of unwillingness on Arutai's face.
"Akito, Akito, why do they always have such good luck?
Everything is obviously ready, and the Ming people in Taiyuan City are also fully prepared, why can't it happen? "
A Bu was also disappointed in his heart. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was like a huge dark cloud, pressing down on the entire grassland, making everyone breathless.
Abu whispered: "Father, can we still have a chance to take back the Central Plains from Mingren?"
Arutai shook his head: "I can't see it... Mingren is no longer like a two-legged sheep when he was ruled by Dayuan."
Abu took two steps back and sat on a chair nearby.
The father and son were silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Abu stood up again and his eyes widened.
"Father, do you still remember the time when Duoyin Wenduer's Wuliangha Qianhu Office, Taizhou and other places' Qingliankou Thousand Households Office, and Hui Yi'er and other places' Qingliankou Thousand Households Office?"
Arutai turned to look at Abu.
"The three guards of Wuliangha?"
He frowned, a little confused.
The three Qianhusuo I mentioned, and the Wuliangha Sanwei in Arutai's mouth are the famous Duoyan Sanwei.
Abu nodded: "Yes! Since the Ming Dynasty is now at its peak, it cannot be resisted. Father, why can't we follow the example of the three guards of Wuliangha in the past, surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and join the Ming Dynasty.
When the Ming Dynasty conquered the three guards, they received countless generous gifts.
Now that we are trapped in Taiyuan City and it is difficult to escape, why not surrender to the Ming Dynasty and bring the tribesmen to join the Ming Dynasty.
Based on Akito's arrogant nature, it's impossible to say that his father could be given the title of a prince.
How the tribe has been doing in these years, my father knows best. The Ming Dynasty sent out troops to conquer every year. What did Guilichi Khan do?
If you can't take back the Central Plains, why can't you surrender to the Ming court? By then, we can still enjoy the beauty of the Central Plains. "
Abu kept persuading me, and his eyes widened even more.
He felt he had found another way.
In the current desperate situation, it may not be the best way to lead the tribe to surrender to the Ming court.
Arutai's eyes widened, and anger gradually grew in his eyes.
"You want me to surrender to Akito?!"
"Do you know what you are talking about!"
He stared hard at Abu standing in front of him.
If the other party hadn't been his own son, and if he hadn't felt that he was also desperate, he would have killed him himself.
But the anger in his heart, the unwillingness in his heart, and his pride as a citizen of Changshengtian made Arutai unwilling to agree to this method.
Abu just makes me a little scared.
Father's strictness in the past made Abu and I a little nervous.
But when I think about the current situation.
Abu still held on and said: "This is the only way now! If father feels that surrendering Mingren is humiliating, the worst thing is that after we have recovered our breath and returned to the grassland, we can lead the warriors from the tribe to fight back. !”
Looking at his father who was full of anger.
Abu said again: "Father, do you want to die in the hands of Mingren now?"
