The soldiers are coming out of the sect

Zhengde did not pay attention to Jie Yu's actions, so he turned to Yang Ling and asked with a smile: "Yang Qing, come into the palace early in the morning, is there anything important?"

Yang Ling coughed and glanced at Liu Jin. Liu Jin knew it and hurriedly said, "Emperor, I asked for an order yesterday to sign Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others who colluded with the inner court and forced the palace to be illegal. They were originally meant to make all officials cautious and self-reflection, but today I heard that the border war was tight and it should not cause shock to the government and the country at this time. Therefore, I asked the emperor to issue another order to exempt them from the crime."

Zhengde said unhappily: "I issued an order yesterday, why are you going to take it back today? Um..." He looked at Yang Ling suspiciously and smiled: "It must be that Yang Qing can't bear it, so come forward to plead for them?"

He thought about it and said that although Liu Jian and Xie Qian were disgusted, they were his grand tutor after all. Since they were unwilling to pursue the matter, it would be fine if they agreed to this favor, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it is reasonable to issue an order to reprimand first, and then issue a order to avoid punishment. You can do this."

Liu Jin hurriedly thanked her for joy. Zhengde said to Yang Ling again: "The border beacon signal was sent back to Beijing the night before yesterday. We have not yet waited for further news. Do you have accurate information now?"

Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes! I have received further news and am about to report to the emperor."

He looked at the two women, and Zhengde understood and turned to the two women and said with a smile: "Xieyu Sha Hua, you go with Ma Yongcheng first, let him settle you well. After the spring, I will move to the Leopard Garden. Then I will prepare two big houses for you."

The two women responded obediently, looked at Yang Ling cautiously, and followed Ma Yongcheng behind him.

Zhengde stretched his waist and yawned, and said to Yang Ling: "Shidun Yang, let's talk about it when we enter the house."

It was difficult for Liu Jin and others to follow in. They didn't care. Only Miao Kui was most enthusiastic about making military achievements. He couldn't help but stand at the door, stretching his neck and looking in.

Zhengde took Yang Ling back to the bedroom, and fell to the bed with his clothes and said satisfiedly: "Yang Qing, I only feel the joy of being a man today."

Yang Ling didn't know how to answer this, Zhengde had already leaned his chin and smiled, "I have a queen and concubines. If I want, I can still have countless beauties who can be used as a flower. However, all I want is the feeling of family. Although these two folk women are a little restrained towards me, they are much better than the inner palace."

Yang Ling did not expect that Zhengde was not in a hurry to ask about the military situation in front of him, but instead chatted with him about family matters. Seeing that Zhengde had a sweet look of longing, he was inconvenient to interrupt him now, so he said patiently: "The Empress and the two concubines are both well-educated and well-mannered ladies, virtuous and kind..."

Zhengde waved his hand impatiently and gave him a blank look and said, "I'm here to play with me again. The queen and the two concubines have good temperaments and appearances, but I just can't get close to you."

Zhengde sighed and said, "When a husband and wife meet, there are standing etiquettes, and there are sitting etiquettes. A serious look makes people suffer when they see it. Only when there are only two people, they always care about their identity and etiquette..."

He squinted his eyes at the gorgeous palace lanterns, with a yearning expression in his eyes. He whispered: "I often think that the people's couples are in love and the piano and zither are in harmony. I don't know what kind of interesting state it is? I remember that when I visited you in the summer, I saw you on a bamboo couch next to the mountain spring, my young mother and sister were sitting opposite you, and the other girls snuggled beside me, listening to the piano and drinking. I was happy, my wife was beautiful, and I enjoyed all my blessings. I really wanted to be less restrained."

Yang Ling's eyes flashed and took the opportunity to say, "Master, this is what happens in this world. The king hopes to be as free as ordinary families and have more family affection. Ordinary families hope to enjoy some glory like rich families and less poverty. Everyone has gains and losses."

He took a deep breath and said, "Just like today, the emperor is in the palace, although he is restrained, but he is accompanied by beautiful women. The war in the Xuanfu of Datong is full of war, and the people are wandering, their lives are in danger, and people are not as good as a dog in troubled times!"

Zhengde sat up suddenly, with a slight shame on his face. He calmed down and asked, "Yang Qing, what's the war ahead? The Tartars are coming to rob each year, and they simply regard my Ming Dynasty as his granary. Didn't the Tartars suffer a great loss last year?"

Yang Ling Zhengrong said: "It was because the Tartars suffered a loss last year that they made a comeback this year and gathered heavy troops to invade Datong. Moreover, Bo Yan Khan joined forces with Huosie this time. Both of them were extremely brave generals. Now, the general of Xuanfu Zhang Jun lost his troops and retreated to Datong. Commander Liu Jing and many generals died in battle. Huamachi, Delong, Jingning, and Huining were all captured. Shuozhou and Mayi are probably......"

Zhengde stood up angrily, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, clenched his fists tightly, and said angrily: "The wolf is so ambitious, I must teach them a lesson!"

He frowned and asked, "I often hear about the name of the little prince and the fire sieve, but I heard that they have never been harmonious. Why did they join forces this time? What is the situation outside the pass now? Are they subordinate? "

Yang Ling had learned in detail about the current political situation of the people from Wu Jie last night and immediately replied: "Now the Mongols are divided into Oirat Mongolia and Tatar Mongolia. The Oirat is gradually declining and is now unable to invade the south. Those who attack the border repeatedly are Tatar Mongolians.

The Tatar Mongolian Khan was a direct descendant of Kublai Khan. He was under the jurisdiction of Chahar, Urianha, Khalkha, Ordos, Mongolezin and Yongsebu. The Khan lived in Chahar.

The fire sieve is the lord of the Tumotmongolejin banner and is the strongest force in the Tatar army after Boyan. He married Princess Ikxi, the daughter of the former Mongolian Khan Mandulu. When Mandulu's princess Mandu Hesqin married her 7-year-old great nephew, when she was 33 years old, she married her 7-year-old great nephew Boyan.

Iksey is the biological daughter of Mandu Hesqin, so although Bo Yan is younger than the fire sieve, he is the nominal father-in-law of the fire sieve. In addition, Bo Yan's power is stronger than the fire sieve, so the fire sieve is related to Bo Yan... not to listen to the tune and not to the enlightenment."

Zhengde heard that he was a big head. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out what the relationship between these two people was. He was so angry that he pondered for a moment before saying, "How many Tatars sent troops this time?"

Yang Ling's face also became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Seventy thousand iron cavalry. They are all brave and good at fighting cavalry. Moreover, this time they did not divide their troops, and the border guards were only 50,000, so they attacked the city and plundered the terrain, captive women, children, and overwhelmed their property......

I have lived there and knew that the people there... will experience a disaster of life and death every year. When winter comes, I will be chased by Tartar robbers and run away from the wilderness. Maybe my husband is killed, maybe my wife is insulted, maybe my children are taken away as slaves, the survivors return to their impoverished homes and struggle to survive. I have never forgotten to contribute the taxes and taxes of the court...”

Emperor Zhengde's chest fluctuated sharply, and his jade face turned red. Although he often complained that he was subject to many restrictions, he was not as free as an ordinary citizen. However, he did not forget his responsibilities. Yang Ling's words aroused his strong self-esteem. He was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty were bullied. How could he not be shy or annoyed?

Zhengde suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "I want to lead the army in person! I want to lead thousands of troops and horses to drive out the Tartars and save my people!"

Yang Ling heard this, even Miao Kui, Liu Jin and others at the door could hear it clearly. Several people were so scared that they rushed in, and bowed. They said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you can't, you can't, you can't do it before the Tumu Fort Incident in the past..."

Zhengde said angrily: "Farting! I was bitten by a snake for a year, and I was afraid of the rope for ten years. It's just such a thing that I can't chew. I've said it over and over again. I haven't led my troops to fight a war in my dynasty? Emperor Yongle hasn't personally attacked the north?"

Yang Ling was also a little panicked, he calmed down and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I would like to resign from the position of the Inner Factory Supervisor, be a small soldier in front of the army, fight for the emperor on the battlefield, and swear to kill the enemy to death!"

Zhengde was stunned and then laughed and said, "You? No, no, I have learned martial arts. You are a scholar. If you are asked to dispatch troops and generals, I will be able to plan and plan. It is not your strength to go to battle and kill the enemy."

Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "What the emperor said is that everyone has their own location and role. The emperor is the lord of the world. If you are in charge of the capital, the whole world will be in chaos. If you take charge of the command personally, you will be useless. The emperor wants to lead the troops in person, but now it is not the time. The border is in crisis and an old general is urgently needed to take charge."

Miao Kui also kowtowed and said, "Emperor, the son of a thousand gold, cannot sit in the hall, let alone you are the emperor. I am willing to fight for the emperor, go to battle and kill the enemy, and make meritorious contributions!"

When Zhengde heard this, his impulsive mood calmed down a little. He pursed his lips and asked, "What advice does Yang Qing have?"

Yang Ling pondered: "Emperor, this matter needs to be summoned to discuss the matter. I am a local official in the factory and guards, so it is not appropriate to discuss politics with all officials." He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help expressing his own opinions: "

My ministers sent a visitor to learn more about the situation of the Tatars. Everyone of the Tatars rode a good horse and came and went like the wind. In the past, our army often followed the enemy and ran around with them. Finally, it was said that they were driving the Tatars away. It would be better to say that they plundered the troops and retreated after the situation. The speed of the marching was not as fast as that of the Tatars. This was the shortcoming of our army.

Therefore, I believe that the imperial court should not follow the previous strategy of dividing troops, and should gather heavy troops in one place, step by step, and eat them in an inch. At the same time, the bitter and cold land outside the border is sparsely populated, so it is extremely difficult to replenish the power of fighting.

Moreover, our city was not intended to occupy the Tartars for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the loss of their city and land. We should mainly kill and injure the enemy. If we kill more, they will feel distressed. When we come again next year, the tribes must consider it carefully.

Furthermore, Fire Screen has always been ambitious and will not be willing to stay under the crowd for a long time. Therefore, the commander should focus on this time of dispatching troops, attack the little prince, let the fire screen pass, and endure the temporary resentment. As one rises and the other falls, Fire Screen will have a different intention. If there is a dispute within the Tatars, I will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When necessary, I can also help the weak side and let them continue to bite."

Zhengde murmured: "Every step is to fight, kill people first, you must not divide the troops, fight small and make fire. Okay, I remember it!"

Yang Ling's eyes flashed and said, "Actually... there is another surprise weapon. If it is used well, it can be the arm of the Ming Dynasty. However, only the emperor can decide on this matter."

Zhengde's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "What a surprise soldier? Let's talk about it quickly."

Yang Ling said word by word: "Duoyan Three Guards!"

How could the three guards of Duoyan be famous and Zhengde do not know? It’s just that although Duoyan’s three guards are still nominally vassals of the Ming Dynasty over the years, they have not had much contact with each other, and they have led the Ming Dynasty’s official titles. From time to time, they come to the border to rob, but the trouble is not very strong. The Ming Dynasty has been turning a blind eye, but Zhengde did not expect that the three guards of Duoyan are available.

He asked in confusion: "The three guards of Duoyan seem to be respectful to the Ming Dynasty now, but in fact they have long disobeyed orders. How should Yang Qing use them?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Doyan's three guards survived between the Ming Dynasty, Oirat, and Tatars. Basically, they were fence-bearing plants. The wind was strong and the side was strong. The Oirat and Mongols and Tatars often robbed them. Only the Ming Dynasty always gave me kindness, so they were closer to the Ming Dynasty.

However, when Yisima of the Ola land robbed Duoyan's three guards, they asked for help from Daming and Boyan respectively. At that time, Boyan sent troops to help him. Daming did not make any move. Later, in order to seek rewards, the general of Liaodong Li Gao killed the people of Duoyan's three guards who were trading for no reason, making the three guards even more distant from the Ming Dynasty. Now they are almost vassals of the Boyan land."

At that time, the serious thoughts of the Ming Dynasty were spreading into the military. In their eyes, the barbarians outside the pass were purely a group of bandits and did not pay attention to their political situation at all. Yang Ling naturally knew that the military situation was changing rapidly. However, grasping the political situation of other countries in advance sometimes had the effect of making a fortune. Therefore, when Wu Jie formed a visitor outside the pass, he asked to focus on the political and economic aspects of the Tatars.

Even Zhengde knew this information in detail, and he couldn't help but listen to it very much.

Yang Ling continued: "The power of Huadang (the leader of the three guards of Duoyan) is far from Liaodong and Xuanfu. With them on guard, Pingluan prefectures rarely were invaded by Tatars. If they were firmly grasped in the hands of the emperor, they would be a sharp blade that had opened its edge.

Furthermore, the Hetao area is not in our hands now, and most of the good horses in the Ming Dynasty need to be supplied with the Duoyan Sanwei. Therefore, the Duoyan Sanwei must strive for it and not give up!"

Zhengde nodded, thought about it and shook his head, and hesitated: "Is it too late to repair the relationship now? They are willing to openly oppose the little prince?"

Yang Ling explained: "There is no need for them to send troops, and the Yuan Dynasty's regime has always been the most unstable. As long as we lure them to high officials and generous salaries, Xu Nuo increases the goods and quantity of goods and quantities of land between the two sides, the Duoyan nobles will inevitably be moved.

Jie Shi asked them to use a little trick. They had some disputes with the Oirat Mongolia, which is now in decline and has a grudge against them. If they fight a few battles, Hua Dang will definitely not refuse. Both sides and the tribes in the unified state of Boyan, they have relatives and relationships, and they will inevitably be involved. Jie Shi had a fire in Boyan's backyard, so he still felt at ease to lead the army outside?

Even if the two vassals fight, even if he is too upset, we will use another plan of discord. Even if the three guards of Duoyan will not return to the emperor's arms immediately, they will still be flirting with each other."

Zhengde laughed loudly when he heard this. He glared at Yang Ling with a tilted corner of his mouth, and then laughed again. He cursed while laughing: "You can say that there are all big beards there, who are throwing their arms to me? I feel so disgusting."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Emperor, there are also beautiful places outside the border, and those with excellent temperament can be called lotus in the snow mountain."

Zhengde was not willing to believe it. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Okay, I will summon six ministries immediately to select generals." He glanced at Yang Ling and wanted to let the person he trusted the most lead the army to fight, but he couldn't bear to leave him, so he thought about it and had to give up.

Seven days later, the imperial army finally set off. Zhengde drew 50,000 elite troops from the regiment camp. Miao Kui of the West Factory supervised military affairs, Zhu Hui of the Duke of Baoguo was the general officer, and Shi Lin, the chief censor, was the admiral of military affairs.

Yang Ling didn't know how good General Zhu was to command warfare. He heard that Grand Secretary Li proposed to be the general of Yang Yiqing, who had just been removed from his post, but unfortunately he was secretly destroyed by Liu Jin and others.

Yang Ling remembered that Wang Shouren, the head of the Ministry of War, was still imprisoned in prison. Although he had no hardships after taking care of himself, staying there was not a problem, not to mention that he still owed Wang Hua a favor. Judging from his repeated suggestions, he must be a military talent, and Yang Ling also mentioned it to Zhengde. However, his official position was too young and he had never fought a war. When Liu Jin thought of this little official calling him a traitor, he still had anger before he could go away. This matter was put aside for the time being.

However, when Zhengde kept in mind Yang Ling's instructions to Zha, he repeatedly told Miao Kui and others not to divide their troops for the enemy and to concentrate their troops to eliminate the Tatar enemy. Zhu Hui responded only.

When Zhengde gathered the officials of the six ministries to discuss the strategies of using troops. Wang Yang, the Minister of Personnel, once advised the eight strategies to fight against the enemy: to determine the temple, value the chief general, strictly regulate the laws and regulations, to provide responsibilities to the border people, recruit widely, use the room, divide the troops, which is surprising.

There are both virtual and real. The temple is strictly enforced by the Ministry of Rites to do it. As for whether it is effective in fighting the enemy on the front line, I am too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, I have to send troops like this every time I send troops.

Yang Ling also talked to Zhengde privately about the matter of the chief general. Zhengde was not confused about this matter. He did not believe that eunuchs and scholars who had never fought a war could compare with generals. Therefore, he sternly warned Miao Kui that Shi Lin should not interfere too much in military affairs.

It must be a matter of post-war concern for the border people. It is too late to recruit soldiers now. As for the strategy of division of troops, Zhengde didn't think about it. He immediately refuted it.

Zhengde proposed to use the fire sieve and the little prince. Liu Daxia thought it was Zhengde's idea and immediately praised it. Zhengde was praised by the first general of the dynasty and suddenly felt as if he was in the clouds. Anyway, he didn't feel that he was seeing Yang Ling, so he took the credit with a thick face.

Yang Ling received Zhengde's secret order and was planning to contact the three guards of Duoyan in the past few days to alienate the affairs of the Mongol Yuan. In recent years, the leaders of the three guards of Duoyan had a deep grudge with the Ming Ting. Although they promised to be profitable, if there was no one who could convince Duoyan in the past few days, it would be difficult for them to accept it.

However, the benefit of joining the three guards of Duoyan is not only in this battle, so Yang Ling is very cautious. At the same time, if Liu Jin's forty-six reforms were all put aside, not only would Liu Jin's face not be able to overcome it, but the foreign court also had a great victory, which would have a great impact on his own political strategy of lifting the ban on trade.

Therefore, Yang Ling compromised in disguise and advised Liu Jin to hand over the reform strategy to Jiao Fang to modify and polish it. Then he submitted it to the three great scholars for discussion. Many of Liu Jin's policies were beneficial, such as the Ministry of Revenue's increase in supervision, which was not only beneficial to the court, but also strengthened the power of the Ministry of Revenue. Yang Ling did not believe that the Foreign Court would reject it all. As long as he took more than a dozen of them to implement, the internal and external court storm could be calmed down and his prestige could also greatly increase.

In view of this, Yang Ling has also been busy these days, and has learned about the situation. The factory in the palace is organizing his own affairs. At the same time, he has no confidence in whether the general who has already sent the land can deal with Boyan Khan's powerful offensive. He ordered Wu Jie to send a large number of probes, flowing endlessly, sending them back to the marching situation and the battle situation ahead, and paying attention to the situation on the front line at any time. If he hadn't been concerned about the young lady being pregnant just now, he wouldn't have even had time to take care of his family.

At noon, Yang Ling came out of the palace and walked to the west gate. He saw a vendor on the roadside selling some dried fruits on a chariot. The red agate-like hawthorns seemed very attractive, so he hurriedly raised his legs and kicked the sedan chair.

The sedan chairwoman stopped the sedan chair when he heard the movement. Yang Ling lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked down the roadside with a smile. The signs of the young lady's joy were not obvious, and some people took care of her usual diet. Gao Wenxin has been busy recently and often has some supplementary food for her to eat. These things are not something Yang Ling is worried about. Today, the fruit is full and red and cute, so he moved his mind and bought some for her to go back.

Today, Yang Ling was wearing a casual robe, but since she was sitting in a sedan chair and there were guards in front of her and behind her, she was obviously a powerful person. The vendor nodded and laughed and said, "Customer, what do you want to buy?"

Yang Ling picked up a hawthorn fruit. The fruit was as bright as fire. Seeing that it really increased the appetite, Yang Ling said happily: "Ask me five kilograms of hawthorn, oh, that walnut also comes five kilograms."

The vendor happily claimed that the dried fruits were packed. Liu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and paid. Yang Ling turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard a noise in front of him. Some passers-by ran to an alley. Yang Ling couldn't help but look at him in confusion and asked, "What happened?"

Liu Biao shook his head, turned his head and signaled his subordinates to follow the adults, and then said, "Go and take a look."

The vendor sighed and shook his head, "Oh, these gangsters are here to make trouble again, they have no conscience."

Yang Lingqi said: "Shopkeeper, do you know what happened?"

Seeing that he was a passing master, he spoke kindly and said, "Master, don't you know anything. The border Tartars are powerful this year. I heard that the captured cities are twice as many as last year. Many people fled everywhere. Some of them have fled to the capital in the past two days."

Yang Ling's heart sank and said in a lost voice: "Have the refugees entered Beijing?"

The vendor said, "Where can it be? The master is a big man. You should know the important place in the capital. How can you let a large group of beggars and flee the people into the city? If someone takes advantage of the chaos, what if you make trouble? Mr. Li ordered people to build a shed outside the nine cities, ask the Ministry of Revenue to provide firewood and food to resettle the victims, and mobilize the people to donate some clothes and quilts.

Some kind-hearted masters also went out of the city to set up porridge farms to do good deeds. Yes, a lady lived in the alley. She passed by here and saw the victims who were kind-hearted and set up porridge farms outside the city to help the people. A few thugs in the city saw that the wife was beautiful and was a foreigner. They used the excuse of hot porridge to burn their hands and kept coming to the door to get entangled. This was the third time."
To be continued...
