In Thanh Hoa City.
Wearing armor, tall, tough-looking, and full of masculinity, Shi Biao stood on the city wall.
He looked at the moon hanging in the clouds.
A trace of melancholy filled his face.
The war in Annan was almost stable.
He has added new merits.
But Shi Biao couldn't be happy at all.
Because he knew that all this should belong to his uncle Shi Heng.
Now that the war has calmed down and the territory that Ming Dynasty was forced to lose has been regained, this is the glory of the general, and it is also a glorious moment that should belong to his uncle.
But now his bones are cold and can no longer be seen.
Shi Biao is a ruthless person, but ruthless people are also human beings.
He could kill his uncle with a knife for the sake of his family, his wife, children, and children, but he was suffering from it all the time.
He doesn't want to go back to Beijing.
Because he didn't know how to face his two cousins and his aunt.
Shi Biao sighed, and the soldiers not far away looked at this scene and felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.
These personal soldiers were all people who had followed Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncle and nephew for more than fifteen years.
They also have feelings for Shi Heng...
Zhu Jianshen didn't want to kill Shi Heng, but he had to do it.
In order not to embarrass the emperor, Shi Biao took the initiative to join the army, leaving all the ignominy and pain to himself.
In his memorial to the three armies, Shi Biao also expressed his desire to stay in Annan. He wanted to protect the land where his uncle lost his life for generations.
Just when Shi Biao was deep in thought and depressed.
Mu Zan led a group of soldiers up to the city wall, then the soldiers stopped and he walked towards Shi Biao alone.
After getting closer, Mu Zan reminded: "General..."
After Shi Biao heard this, he did not look back in a hurry, but quickly adjusted his emotions. A real man never shows his weak side in front of outsiders...
"Captain Mu, it's so late and you still haven't slept."
"General, I learned something, so I wanted to come and tell the general as soon as possible. If you were not at the house, I knew the general would be here."
Shi Biao asked: "What's the matter?"
"Yu Taibao was in Kunming some time ago and has already arrived at Zhennanguan. In a few days, he will enter Annan. Although most of the north is peaceful, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so it is inevitable that there will be darkness under the lamp, especially Come to the general to discuss whether we should send a team of soldiers."
After hearing Mu Zan's words, Shi Biao was stunned.
Yu Taibao.
Yu Qian?
"Here comes Taibao Yu. He, he has resigned and returned to his hometown. How could he come to such a remote place?"
"The general doesn't know the specific situation, but the news is true."
Shi Biao was far away in Annan, so of course he didn't know about Yu Qian's poor travel to Ming Dynasty.
But he was deeply grateful to Qian.
It can be said that Yu Qian changed the fate of Shi Heng and Shi Biao's two uncles and nephews. If Yu Qian had not asked for an order to release Shi Heng from prison during the defense of Beijing, he would have handed over Desheng Gate to him for defense. If Shi Heng becomes the chief military officer, then the rest of Shi Heng's life will not exist, and the peak of Shi Biao's life will not happen.
Shi Biao hurriedly said: "No matter what, when Yu Taibao arrives in Annan, we must be responsible for his safety. We will mobilize a thousand soldiers from Jiaozhou City to escort..."
"Yes, general, I will send a fast horse to Jiaozhou City tonight and let them arrange..." Mu Zan said with an arched hand.
"When Taibao Yu arrives in Jiaozhou City, I will go to see him. Then I will trouble Governor Mu about Qinghua."
"The last general takes orders..."
After the conversation between the two people ended, there was a period of silence.
In fact, when Mu Zan and Shi Biao get along, the atmosphere is very awkward.
Without military affairs, they rarely get together.
Although Shi Heng was pulled down by Han Yong, without the support of the military boss Mu Zan, a civilian official would not be able to do it...
After a moment of pause, Shi Biao broke the calm.
"Dudu Mu, you don't have to worry about my uncle's affairs. When he left Liaodong, I knew what happened today. What you did was not wrong, and what Han Yongshangshu did was not wrong either. He was the one who was wrong... …”
After hearing Shi Biao's words, Mu Zan's face was slightly moved.
"General, everything is fate, and you have no control over it. I heard that the general wants to stay in Annan and never return to the capital. This decision needs to be carefully considered. I, Mu, have been favored by the emperor to guard Yunnan. I have been working hard these years. , Walking on thin ice, if possible, the Mu family would have long wanted to return to the mainland and command troops outside for a long time, which is not a good thing, not to mention, there is still the matter of Marquis Wu Yang..."
Shi Biao smiled when he heard this: "I guard Annan, it's just my business. My family members all stay in the capital, which is different from you..."
"It is difficult for relatives to see each other because they are separated by a huge distance. This is a human tragedy and must not be done..."
Shi Biao looked at Mu Zan, and after a long time, he said: "Captain Mu, you must have some profound meaning in advising me like this. Let me tell you..."
After hearing this, Mu Zan felt a little embarrassed on his face.
"I think the Mu family has stayed in Yunnan for too long. It's a little inappropriate. Why don't we let the Mu family move from Yunnan to Annan? Yunnan's military and political affairs will be returned to the DPRK..."
After listening to Mu Zan's words, Shi Biao burst into laughter...
"We each rely on our abilities, and you can also perform..."
"Then let's each rely on our abilities."
The Zhu family of the Mu family is not a simple monarch-subject relationship. It is not a sect, but it is better than a sect. Mu Ying is the adopted son of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and a good brother of Prince Zhu Biao.
Guarding the southwest of the Ming Dynasty for generations is Mu Ying’s legacy to future generations.
Now that the southwest of the Ming Dynasty has been moved from Yunnan to the Annan Peninsula, they should also move.
In this way, the ancestors' instructions can be fulfilled and the court can rest assured.
So after the decision was made in Jiaozhou City, the elders of the Duke's Mansion began to discuss the matter with Mu Zan.
At the beginning of the twelfth year of the Ming Dynasty, preparations for war against An began.
At that time, the emperor issued an order to the three armies to avenge Annan.
Shi Heng was assigned to go to Yunnan to prepare.
After four consecutive years of military deployment, 32,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp and 126,000 guardsmen from the three southwest provinces were mobilized. A total of more than 600,000 civilians were mobilized, millions of dollars were spent, and countless grain and military supplies were spent. Finally, in At the beginning of the 16th year of Chenghua, news of the great victory came...
Of course, regarding this war, there are mixed reviews in later history books...
Some people think that this was a willful act of imperial power, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to fight a war that it should not have fought, and brought half a century of turmoil to the people on the peninsula. Many brilliant cultures and nations have disappeared...
Of course, some people advocate that the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty at that time had the foresight to complete the rule of the peninsula after half a century of encroachment, and also laid the foundation for the Chinese nation to have a complete continental framework and become a maritime power...
