Early the next morning, He Tianyang proposed to the Ministry of Rites to go to see His Majesty and send the princess back to China.
When it came to the early dynasty, according to the rules, the first thing to deal with was to enter Beijing from other places to see the driver and the personnel of his majesty in Beijing who resigned from Beijing, Meng Fusheng flashed out of the train, bowed to Emperor Jianwen and said: "Your Majesty, there is now the prince of the mountain He Tianyang, His Majesty resigns and leaves Beijing, please allow Your Majesty." ” Zhu Yunwen was surprised and said: "The prince of the mountain once said that if you want to see my Middle-earth customs and learn the customs of the country, you must live in Jinling for at least one year, and then you have to leave?"
Meng Fusheng said: "Your Majesty, it's not that He Tianyang wants to leave, but that the princess and concubine Pingnu of the prince are pregnant, and the king and queen of the other country are very happy when they hear the news, thinking about their daughter-in-law, and asking for their daughter-in-law to return early. ” Zhu Yunwen laughed and said: "Okay, this is a happy event, the princess of the king of the mountain queen is pregnant in my Ming Yanjing, and this heir will also be contaminated with my Yanjing aura, in this case, I should give some more gifts as a congratulatory gift for my Heavenly Dynasty, and the Ministry of Rites should make proper arrangements, and I will allow the princess of the king to return to the country, and ask him to go to the palace to thank you." ” Meng Fusheng agreed, secretly strange in his heart: "This morning, the emperor seems to be very happy." ” The will was transmitted, and He Tianyang, who had been waiting outside the Jinshui Bridge for a long time, received the decree to go to the court, and here Zhu Yunwen glanced at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty with a smile, and stared at the new military department Shangshu Ruchang attentively, and ordered: "Let's do something." ” Xiao Linzi, who had already changed his name to Mu En, lifted the dust and sang loudly: "The emperor has a decree, hundreds of officials will do things, there will be a morning play, and there will be nothing to retreat." ” As soon as the voice fell, Shang Shuru of the Ministry of War raised the wat board and said loudly: "Minister, there is a play" He Tianyang walked into the court, and before he could see the driver, he heard Ru Chang say loudly: "Your Majesty, Dongchang is a great victory" He Tianyang was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped, and listened to Ru Chang's play: "Your Majesty, the Yan army went south, and there was a fierce battle with our imperial army in Dongchang, General Sheng Yong was deployed under the city, firearms and poisonous crossbows were fired together, and the enemy army was severely defeated, and the Yan cavalry suffered heavy losses, and several generals died in this battle.
Yan Shun himself got the help of his general Zhu Xiong and his son Gao Xu, panicked out of the siege, retreated all the way to Guantao, and because the two generals of Ping'an and Wu Jie had already occupied Zhending, cut off his retreat, and had to be defeated and fled back to Beiping by detour.
In this battle, our army won a complete victory, killing tens of thousands of enemies, especially, Zhang Yu, a general under Yan Yi, died in this battle, and our army was greatly invigorated."
He Tianyang was secretly shocked when he heard this, the imperial court had falsified the military intelligence report many times, and turned defeat into victory, but he never dared to say that he would behead the enemy's general, because this was the easiest lie to be exposed.
Zhang Yu's original name was unknown, and no one in the court and the opposition knew about the left guard Qianhu among the three guards of Yanshan.
But now, as the momentum of the Yan army is getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Yu seems to be a famous general in the world, this is the first brave general under the command of King Yan, and the news that he died in battle should not be fake.
Ru Chang's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which immediately caused an uproar in the court, everyone was excited, generous and inexplicable, many officials turned heads to each other, and the whole court was in chaos, but this was a great joy, Zhu Yunwen's face was colorful, and he didn't care about the rudeness of the monarch and ministers.
After all the civil and military forces digested the news, worshiped the ground together, shouted long live, and praised the emperor Shengming, Zhu Yunwen was proud and announced loudly: "Spread the decree, tell the world, Dongchang is a great victory, and reward the meritorious deeds, and praise the three armies."
In addition, the edict ordered the civil and military, ministers, and relatives above the five grades in Beijing to gather at the noon gate at noon, and follow me to the Taimiao Temple to tell the ancestors the news of the great victory.
Before three o'clock, the palace placed wine and feasted the ministers" Zhu Yunwen glanced at He Tianyang with a smile and said, "Prince of the Mountain, you can also participate." ” "Obey."
He Tianyang hurriedly agreed, and secretly complained in his heart: "Oh no, the Southern Army has won a big victory, in this case, can he still succeed in rebellion?"
As soon as He Tianyang retreated, another imperial envoy flashed out of the Wenchen class, held the wat board high, bowed down and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the imperial court soldiers and horses have won a great victory, and the first general of the Yan army has been killed, which is caused by Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and the dedication of the front-line soldiers."
However, " He changed his words, and said: "This also shows that Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai are the three adults who assisted the government and obtained the law, and the previous defeat was all due to Li Jinglong's incompetence, which affected the three armies and disgraced the imperial court. ” Ru Chang glanced at him and recognized that this was an official of Fang Xiaoru's faction, Ru Chang didn't speak, but he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.
Sheng Yong won the battle during his tenure as the secretary of the military department, well, now that he has merit, he has nothing to do.
Besides, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng are just going to get back on their feet, Qi Tai turned out to be the secretary of the military department, and I only took on this position when he stepped down, the secretary of the ministry is so fat, I just left on the front foot, and someone on the back foot occupies the seat, you let him be reinstated now, so where will I go Zhu Yunwen was elated, he knew that this was actually the first victory of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and it was such a beautiful victory, if it wasn't for the king's prestige, he would have danced with his hands long ago, about these personnel arrangements, how could he still think about it, as soon as the imperial envoy said, Zhu Yunwen nodded happily and said with a smile: "Aiqing is reasonable, pass on the decree, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and immediately reinstate the official."
So, when Zhu Yunwen led the civil and military officials to worship his ancestors, the six Shangshu standing behind Zhu Yunwen became seven Shangshu, of which the military department was two chief officials, one surnamed Ru and the other surnamed Qi Zhudi returned to Beiping in a panic.
One of the main reasons for the defeat of the Yan army this time was the underestimation of the enemy.
A series of victories, up and down the Yan army, formed a burst of arrogance, not only the soldiers, but also the King of Yan and the generals under his command, the behemoth of the imperial court, in their eyes has been a vulnerable image, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.
After the success of the last surprise attack on Cangzhou, Zhu Di's confidence increased greatly, and compared with Li Jinglong, who led more than 500,000 troops before and after, he didn't take this Sheng Yong, who was originally just a general under Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, he didn't take it seriously at all.
After conquering Cangzhou, Zhu Di's soldiers and horses had not yet been repaired, and a large number of military supplies accumulated in Cangzhou were being transported to Beiping, so he went south again without stopping.
This time, he left aside Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Wu Jie and other enemy troops, and went straight to Dezhou, and the Ming army that originally marched north was afraid that the foundation would be lost, so they hurriedly returned, but they fell behind him.
After the Yan army crossed the river from Guantao to Dongping, Sheng Yong and other southern armies also caught up and stationed troops in Dongchang.
After Zhu Di heard the news, he suddenly killed a horse pistol and abandoned Texas to attack Dongchang.
As soon as the battle began, Zhu Di, who was too light on the enemy, led his iron cavalry to attack Sheng Yong's left flank, but he couldn't move a few blows, so he had to go around the front of the formation and rush to the backbone.
Sheng Yong saw that Zhu Di didn't take himself seriously at all, so he deliberately opened a battle, feigned defeat, and lured him to go deeper.
After King Yan led the iron cavalry to break into the enemy formation, Sheng Yong immediately joined forces to surround him, driving all the armies to fight to the death, the main general of the right army of the Yan army saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed in and rescued Zhu Di, the southern army was in a hurry, fortunately Zhu Gaoxu also led his troops to arrive, and the two joined forces to protect Zhu Di and fled in panic.
However, Zhang Yu, the commander of the Left Route Army, did not know that Zhu Di had been rescued safely due to poor information, and saw that King Yan was in trouble, Zhang Yu also led his troops into the enemy formation, Zhu Di and Zhu Neng left, Zhang Yu was trapped in the enemy formation, he had a chance to escape, but he only thought that Zhu Di was still trapped in the enemy camp, and he was rushing in the formation, desperate for himself, and finally exhausted himself and died in the chaos.
Zhu Di fled all the way, and was constantly surrounded and intercepted along the way, if it weren't for Xia Xun's deliberate pursuit of Sheng Yong in Beijing, it had caused a gap between the Ming generals, Sheng Yong, Ping'an, and Wu Jie's generals all wanted to rob the head of the killing of Zhu Di, and they did not cooperate well enough with each other, so that there was a loophole in the encirclement, and Zhu Di might not be able to survive Beiping.
Zhu Yunwen led hundreds of civil and military officials, and the honorable relatives went to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors, and drove back to the palace to prepare a large banquet.
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless.
The whistling cold wind whimpered across the plain, on the three-foot frozen soil made of the soul conjuring platform, the soul flag fluttered, and the filial piety belt on Zhu Di's head continued to rise and fall with the cold wind, he stood on the platform, looked at Dongchang from afar, and only shouted: "Shimei, the soul returns" and cried silently.
Zhu Di is really sad, Zhang Yu followed him when he was still a vassal king, and when it was difficult to raise troops in Jing, Zhang Yu did not hesitate and was loyal, this time it was to save him, so he risked falling into battle and died of exhaustion, how could Zhu Di not be sad Zhu Di said with tears in his eyes: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so there is no need to worry.
However, in a difficult time, the loss of such a good assistant to Shimei is sad and hateful, which is the fault of the lonely king."
"Your Highness, condolences" Zhu Neng, who also wore linen and filial piety for the fallen soldiers, hurriedly supported him, Zhu Di paid tribute to the fallen soldiers with three cups of water and wine, and turned around, Ma Sanbao, who had been named Zheng He by him for following him all the way to the battle, walked forward with a lacquer plate, and a bloodstained robe was held in the plate, which was the robe worn by Zhu Di in this battle.
Zhu Di took the battle robe, took a torch from the guard, lit it, and looked at the sky and chanted: "How can it be said that there is no clothes and a son."
Although there is a trace of it, in order to know the rest of the heart" "Amitabha" Monk Daoyan clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha name.
Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the three armies in the audience said in unison: "How can it be said that there is no clothes and the same robe with the son."
Although there is a trace of it, in order to know the rest of the heart" Thousands of spears slammed at the same time, thousands of shields were struck by steel knives at the same time, the voice was sad and heroic, majestic mountains and rivers, because of the defeat and just spread in the army of pessimistic and dejected atmosphere, because of this words, swept away, all that remained was the cold murderous atmosphere, reflecting the cold light.
