The men sent by Sheng Yong turned back before Sheng Yong could get thirty miles out of the city. Before Sheng Yong could get angry, they quickly explained: "Sir, the leaders of Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard have arrived outside the city."
Mao Zheng, He Yunzhong and others were suddenly startled and horrified, as if the end was coming.
Sheng Yong had a gloomy face, walked a few steps, and said seriously: "Let's go to the tower to have a look!"
As expected, Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu came to Daning, with 20,000 cavalry behind them, appearing in darkness on the snowy field. Ha'er looked at Tuolu Huchaer worriedly and said, "Sir, Sheng Yong is not the King of Ning. It’s not Fang Kuan, he is decisive in his actions and he is an unpredictable person. If only a few people enter the city, they may be in danger."
"Haha, you are worrying too much."
Tuolu Huchaer confidently looked at Daning City in the distance and said: "Sheng Yong is a man who understands the rules. The more he understands the rules, the less he will do anything random."
Ha'er nodded slightly, and then said: "If you don't come out within an hour, I will order an attack on the city!"
Tolu Huchaer waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. Just wait quietly outside. Come out and let's go."
Horse hooves trampled on the snow, rustling along.
Sheng Yong stood on the city tower and watched Tuolu Huchaer, An Chu and others entering the city. Then he ordered the city gates to be closed and security to be strengthened before returning to Dusi Yamen.
Tuolu Hucha'er and Anchu walked into the hall together and beat their chests as a salute.
"Master Dusi, we are here to ask for merit. Please don't be stingy, Master Dusi, and give us some food back, so that we can spend this cold winter month."
After Tulu Huchaer sat down, he began to ask for benefits.
Sheng Yong raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu actually played the role of heroes. He couldn't help but look at Mao Zheng and others and asked: "The two leaders have made contributions, why don't you come to repay them?"
Mao Zheng hurriedly walked out and replied in a loud voice: "It's not that we don't want to repay you, it's just that we haven't heard of their merits. I don't know what the merits of these two gentlemen are. I would like to go to the Dusi Yamen to find out clearly and reward them based on their merits."
Mao Zheng can still do the tricks of singing.
When Tuolu Huchaer saw that Sheng Yong actually blocked him, he didn't mind. He smiled boldly and said, "The Taining Guards Hu assassinated Banhu and colluded with the Tatar tribe with the intention of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty. We have been favored by the imperial court and we should be the imperial court." Share the worries. Due to the emergency, Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard attacked yesterday and flattened Taining Guard."
Sheng Yong looked at Tuolu Huchaer who was confusing right and wrong, and said seriously: "So, Taining Guard is gone?"
"Gone!"
Tuolu Huchaer said.
"Where are the Hu people who suddenly stabbed them?"
Sheng Yong asked.
Tulu Huchaer sneered twice, adjusted his sleeves, and said: "Our arrangements were not good enough, which caused Khura Banhu to escape. I sent cavalry to pursue him, and found that Khura Banhu had fled to the Tatar tribe. In order to avoid There was a conflict with the Tatars, but we did not launch an attack."
Sheng Yong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
There is no evidence that Tainingwei colluded with the Tatars, but Banhu suddenly went to the Tatars, which became evidence, an "evidence" created after the fact.
By the way, where else could Kutan Banhu run if he didn't run to the Tatars?
He can't come to Daning!
"We can be considered successful in suppressing the rebellion, right? If we let the Khuraban go wild and lead the Tatars to the east, Daning will become a dangerous place..."
An Chu said with a bit of an old fox's smile.
Sheng Yong did not comment and only said: "Over the years, Taining Guards have also contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty. Now
It's really sad that something like this happened. The matter is so big that the governor's office does not dare to specialize in it. It would be better to wait until Daning reports to the court before discussing merits and demerits. "
"Haha, it should be so."
Tuolu Hucha'er responded.
Sheng Yong lowered his head and pondered. Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu were both scoundrels. They clearly wanted to devour Tainingwei, but they chose an unprovable excuse.
Ask them about their sin?
How can we convict them if we just follow the principle of urgency?
Their real purpose in coming to Daning was not to get rewards, but to tell Sheng Yong and Ming Ting:
Tainingwei rebelled, I'll help you clean it up!
As for whether the Taining Guards rebelled, does it still matter?
There are no more Taining Guards, so we can't dig out a bunch of dead people and ask them if they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, right?
The living are more important.
The imperial court needs Duoyan Guards and Fuyu Guards. Without them to defend Daning and its surroundings, it would be too difficult for the imperial court to control this area.
After thinking about it, Sheng Yong finally restrained his anger and said, "Qian Shi, the governor of the left, once wrote to the court asking for pastoral rights in Daning. Do you still remember?"
Tuolu Huchaer nodded and said: "We Uliangha people also need a fertile habitat. The pastures here in Daning are excellent, but the imperial court has very little grazing. It is really inappropriate to waste it like this."
Sheng Yong picked up a cup of tea and said with a cold face: "To be honest with you two, the Security Bureau has heard the news in the capital. The whole court is extremely dissatisfied with this and believes that the three guards of Wuliangha have the intention to go south..."
"Going south? We have absolutely no intention of doing so."
Tolu Huchaer looked uneasy and quickly reassured.
Sheng Yong said softly: "If there are things that don't belong to you, you shouldn't be eager to take them away. Now, the imperial court has mobilized a hundred thousand troops from Beiping to station at Xifengkou."
"An army of one hundred thousand?"
Tolu Huchaer's expression changed. He just wanted to let cattle graze in a piece of land. As for making such a big fuss?
This situation is not consistent with King Ning's analysis. Didn't he say that the new emperor pursues civility and will never fight in a short time?
Damn it, a hundred thousand troops will arrive in Daning within a few days after exiting Xifengkou. They want to kill themselves.
Seeing that Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu looked unnatural, Sheng Yong continued: "The pastoral rights in Daning are not negotiable. I advise the governor of the left to accept this plan. Also, if there is no court or government in the future, Daning Dusi approved an order that the cavalry of Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard should not approach in groups within three hundred miles of Daning City, so as not to cause the court to become suspicious again and send troops out of Xifengkou..."
Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu looked at Sheng Yong in surprise. Not only did he know that there was a large number of cavalry outside the city at this time, he also threatened that if he didn't behave honestly, the court would send a large army?
"Okay, the imperial court's decree is not delivered by the Security Bureau, but by the post envoy. It probably won't take a few days, so just wait and see."
Sheng Yong said calmly.
Tuolu Huchaer secretly scolded Sheng Yong, you have already mentioned this, who can still feel at ease?
When Tuolu Huchaer saw Sheng Yong serving tea and chasing away the guests, he stood up and said: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, when we come to Daning, we always have to pay homage to the prince. Since we are all busy with business, we won't bother you..."
Sheng Yong waved his hand and said to Tuolu Huchaer and Anchu who wanted to leave: "I forgot to inform you that the court regulations have been changed a few days ago. Officials and generals from all over the country no longer need to comply with the regulations when they come to the vassal fiefdom." Hongwu will pay homage to the vassal king, and he can go back on his own after finishing his errands."
Truly
Hu Cha'er's eyes turned cold, and An Chu was secretly frightened. The court had changed the rules and there was no need to visit the vassal king. So what role does King Ning Zhu Quan still have in this city?
How feasible are his strategies and plans?
A prince who has no effect is not worth the trouble of the Uliangha people to please.
The two left Dusi Yamen, were "escorted" by Mao Zheng and He Yunzhong out of Daning City, and reluctantly returned to their respective pastoral areas.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Zhu Quan heard the news about Tuolu Huchaer and An Chu entering and leaving Daning City, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
At present, Daning is no longer under Zhu Quan's control. Sheng Yong has gathered people's hearts and replaced a group of people. Now, almost all the people in Daning Dusi Yamen are Sheng Yong's people.
The guards in the city were changed, and the Dusi Yamen was replaced. Those who were cleared were all Zhu Quan's people.
Zhu Quan originally thought he could control the situation. After all, he still held Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei in his hands, but the city gate was closed tightly and he couldn't get out. The two kites of Toluhuchaer and Anchu seemed to have broken their strings. …
"We must find a way to break the situation!"
Zhu Quan thought for a long time, called the old servant, and said: "Look for an opportunity to go out of the city in person, tell the boss of Jizhou, and let him spread the news, saying that Sheng Yong does not distinguish between right and wrong, and killed countless Taining guards, Duoyan Wei and Fu Yuwei are in panic, the battle in Daning is inevitable..."
The old servant remembered it in his heart and took the order and left.
Capital of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanwu Lake.
Zhu Yunwen entered Huanzhou with Ru Yu, Xu Huizu, Xie Jin and others.
After several months, the Second Artillery Bureau has been fully constructed. The Gunpowder Department, Fire Guns Department, and Artillery Department are all in place, and firearms craftsmen recruited from various places have been put in place.
Zhu Yunwen stood on the high platform, looked at the many craftsmen, and said with respect: "The Third Division of the Second Artillery Bureau has been completed, and the craftsmen from various guard stations have also arrived in Beijing. I am very happy. How to operate the Second Artillery Bureau, I will not interfere, what is needed After the materials are submitted, I will arrange for someone to purchase them for you. Remember, the purpose of the Second Artillery Bureau is to eliminate the enemy on the way forward!"
"There is no upper limit to the power of firearms. Gunpowder, muskets, and artillery should all innovate to continuously increase the killing distance and killing power. I have set a reward here. Any craftsman who has made merit in improvement and made a breakthrough in research and development will be awarded a hundred taels. Silver, if you make a major breakthrough, such as doubling the damage and doubling the distance, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"I am not stingy with the money. I just hope you will remember one thing. You can improve everywhere and there is no limit! When one of you comes to take away the money, I will host a banquet for you!"
Zhu Yunwen's words made the managers and craftsmen of the Second Artillery Bureau excited.
There are rewards for achieving breakthroughs in the research of Division Three, and they are huge rewards of one hundred taels or one thousand taels!
In the past, there were no rewards for craftsmen's work. Even those who developed "land mines" could only receive a few bags of food a month, and there would never be any silver rewards.
But now the Second Artillery Bureau has set up extremely attractive rewards!
The artillery craftsman Feng Shan's heart was full of passion, he clenched his fists and looked at Zhu Yunwen longingly.
My artillery research has achieved some results, but I was transferred to the capital in a hurry and didn't have time to test it. Now it's good. As long as I give myself time and opportunity, I will be able to develop a new type of artillery in a short time!
By then, we will definitely be able to solve the problem of large bowl muzzle cannons and other cannons that can only bombard left and right, but cannot bombard at high elevation angles!
However, ordinary artillery is still too bulky. If there is any way to make the artillery lighter, wouldn't it be more convenient to transport...
