Chapter 112: Return East

Gao pragmatic did not explain much to Zhuang Langwei, and the key one was to treat them as half of his own.

What do you mean by half of your own people? Command what should be commanded, supply what should be supplied, and reward what should be rewarded.

However, when commanding, it is necessary to be slightly polite, and in terms of supply and reward, it is necessary to adhere to the principle that we cannot neither withhold nor give more.

In addition, it is to restrain military discipline, but this article has been negotiated in advance because Gao Pragmatic has already been negotiated, presumably it is not a big problem, and Ilduqi is a person who knows the importance of it, and Ilduqi should be a little conscious after being beaten by Gao Pragmatic.

Although Wei Xuezeng is an old qualification, in the matter of fighting, he is really humble to seek advice, and every time Gao Shishi says something, he nods vigorously and silently remembers it.

In fact, if you think about it, this is not surprising, after all, although Gao Pragmatic is young, he can already say without humility that he is the most prestigious literary handsome in the Ming Dynasty - there is no one.

After some discussion, Gao pragmatic said goodbye. Wei Xuezeng personally sent him to the gate of the Governor's Yuan, and waved goodbye to him after Gao Shishi repeatedly said "stop at the stage".

Looking at the back of Gao Shishi's departure, Wei Xuezeng smiled with relief. In the past, he was an assistant cultivated by Gao Gong, but unfortunately his luck was not good, and he has not been able to enter the cabinet so far. However, being able to watch the little prodigy really become a pillar of the national dynasty, Wei Xuezeng was also quite happy for Gao Wenzhenggong.

There are successors to the Xinzheng Gao family!

Wei Xuezeng secretly thought: Annan and Dingbei are a thing of the past, and now it seems that this kid is only afraid that he will be named "Pingxi" again, thanks to the fact that there is no opponent in the east of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, he is afraid that he will not be able to make up a southeast and northwest to kill in all directions?

When Wei Zhitai thought of this, he naturally thought of the word "killing the Quartet", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Saying goodbye to Wei Xuezeng at this moment does not mean that Gao Shizheng is about to leave, and the rules of officialdom cannot be sloppy, so there is another practice wine tonight, which was organized by Wei Xuezeng and the officials and generals of the three sides of Shaanxi in Guyuan to bid farewell to Gao Shizheng.

In addition, there is also tomorrow's farewell, and this group of people estimates that it should be a non-falling will participate - it is good to be pragmatic to avoid Shaanxi and Yansui being affected by the rebellion, and to quell the chaos as quickly as possible, and everyone in the northwest is grateful for his kindness.

These are just scenes for Gao Pragmatic, and he can deal with them calmly and without having to think about it. At this moment, he was more worried about the financial problems in the northwest that Wei Xuezeng had mentioned when he met just now, and he didn't know if Wei Xuezeng would follow his advice and find a way from King Qing's family.

There are many unlucky people in this Ningxia Change, but in terms of "level", the biggest unlucky egg must be King Qing (Shizi, not raided), not only a large amount of floating wealth was plundered, and finally Gao Pragmatic got it from Bo Shuoketu, and the loss of real estate is also huge.

Although Ningxia is one of the nine borders, in the early years there were large-scale military camps, and there were actually not many fields, and these fields were gradually privately owned for well-known reasons. Among these "private", the harvest of Qingwangfu is the greatest.

The origin of these fields in Qingwangfu was not very clean, and after obtaining them by various means, their credentials were mainly a paper title deed, which of course was placed in Qingwangfu. However, this time, the Bibai rebels acted inadequately, and packaged those land deeds as floating wealth and gave them to Bosoktu, and in the end, of course, they ended up in the hands of Gao Shi.

Until Ningxia is recovered, these things are worthless, just as they are worthless to Boshoketu, because the land is in the hands of Bibai, and the credentials are meaningless.

But when Gao pragmatic recovered Ningxia without much damage, the value of these land deeds suddenly materialized – to own them was to own the land.

However, the biggest problem is that the Qingwang Mansion will definitely ask for the resumption of these lands, and at the same time, it will naturally demand the return of the title deeds. Judging from the degree of connivance of the imperial court to the vassal king in the early years, these fields and the title deeds must be returned to the Qingwang Mansion in ten percent, but Gao Shishi was unwilling to do so in view of the actual situation in the northwest.

His advice to Wei Xuezeng was to return the land to the Qingwangfu according to the fiefs given to the Qingwangfu at the beginning of the country, plus the gifts of subsequent emperors, and the rest to the duke, on the grounds that the title deeds of these fields had been "destroyed by war".

This matter is easier said than done, if Gao Pragmatic is allowed to handle it himself, it is actually relatively easy, after all, he has just won consecutive big victories in the northwest, and his prestige is incomparable. But now that he himself needs to return to Beijing soon, and this matter is transferred to Wei Xuezeng, it will be much more difficult.

The imperial court's economic favor to the vassal king is not a history of one or two days, it already has considerable inertia, and now it happens to be a critical moment to open the ban on the feudal domain, so what do other vassal kings think about suddenly coming to such a hand?

Don't say "destroyed in the war", this reason is nonsense at first glance, it is clearly made for the people of the world to see, and there is no difference between the lice on the head of the monk, and no vassal king will really believe it - you are so coincidental, all the land deeds of the fields normally granted are complete, and the fields obtained by other means are all lost? I'm afraid this war is not a success!

The reason why Gao Pragmatic planned to do this matter by himself from the beginning was because he knew that he had a special identity and was the main helmsman of the powerful reformist faction of the Shixue School. At the same time, whether it is on the foundation of the family, the strength of the DPRK and China, or even the saints, he is as solid as Mount Tai. In this way, coupled with his invincible prestige, if he wants to do this, most of the vassal kings dare not gnaw - provoke this young master, if he simply instigates the emperor to shoot the first bird and catch a certain prince who jumps so hard to cut the domain, what can he do?

Do you think he doesn't dare, or do you think he can't beat it?

Annan and the north are all things of the past, let's not talk about it first, he can easily pacify the northwest, who else dares to provoke this person except the emperor? Didn't you see that as soon as he got out of the horse, did the Mongols honestly send troops to follow his Daxu away?

Emperor Sejong wrote a poem for him, "On the day of the return of the edict, I and Mr. will untie the battle robe", which shows the high status of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Gao Pragmatic has made these achievements, normally speaking, as long as he does not rebel, the vast majority of people in the world do not have to doubt his reverence at all.

Heroes are needed in any era, and what matches the innate strength of the Ming empire is the dynasty's special respect for heroes.

What's more, it's still a hero who is both civil and military, not to mention, the vassal kings will never dare to be bored.

It's a pity that the situation has changed now, and Gao Shishi wants to temporarily hand over the power of the northwest and return to Beijing, and the burden falls on Wei Xuezeng's head. Although Wei Xuezeng's qualifications are old, his prestige is only limited to the Shi School. All right

Moreover, he is not a Beijing official now, just a feudal official, in terms of his experience as an official, he is not a close minister today, and without the huge influence on the emperor of Gao Pragmatic, the vassal kings are not necessarily afraid of him.

Wei Xuezeng himself must have known this, so he didn't explicitly promise Gao Pragmatic just now, but just said that he would consider it as appropriate and deal with it properly.

If you say this, you don't say it. Gao pragmatic is very clear about the current situation on the three sides of Shaanxi, the reason why the Bibai Rebellion can be achieved, the "bottom fire" is the salary reduction, if the financial problem can not be solved, this "bottom fire" will always exist, in case there is another Bibai? Among the generals of the Nine Sides, there is not only one Mongol, and the others may not have ambitions to take advantage of the situation.

But it is an objective reality that the court has no money, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to count on the household department to use the money to fill the hole, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to kill Shen Li. There may be three melons and two dates in the inner pocket, but it is impossible to use them all to fill this huge pit, and most of them are not enough. Therefore, in order to eliminate this "bottom fire", we can only let the northwest find its own way.

This method can't start with the people at the bottom, not to mention how much money they can have on hand, the key is that the money is by no means "surplus money", it is all life money. With this money, if you don't do it, you have to make a king, and that's not a joke.

The bottom layer can't do it, and the middle level can't find a reason for a while, so of course they have to find the upper level. If you don't think about the large amount of money that has already arrived, isn't this "God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame"?

It's a pity that the power has already been handed over, how to decide in the end, this power has reached the hands of Wei Xuezeng, and Gao Pragmatic can only persuade, not force.

That night, after the banquet was over, Gao met with the Shaanxi Inspector, the Yansui Inspector, and the new Ningxia Inspector to make a handover of the inventory of military exploits—this power was generally in the form of the Inspector, as he had done in Guangxi.

However, Gao Pragmatism has such a big credit here, and the three inspectors will not have nothing to find fault, and they are very happy to negotiate.

Early the next morning, Gao Pragmatic led the main force of reinforcements to return east, and only Li Rusong was left in the Xuanda reinforcements that remained in the northwest.

Because Li Rusong was transferred to Zhuang Langwei to help in the war, not only can he not come back for a while, but Wei Xuezeng also considered that the Mongolian army on Zhuang Langwei's side of Totok and Yileduqi is as high as 50,000, and it is better to have more soldiers and horses in the imperial court, at least speak hard, which can avoid a lot of trouble. Therefore, Wei Xuezeng talked to Gao Pragmatic and left Li Rusong behind, and Gao Pragmatic agreed.

Li Rusong and his father Li Chengliang have different perceptions in Gao Pragmatic's heart, and Gao Pragmatic is still willing to give Li Rusong some opportunities to make contributions. This is an upright Liaodong man, in the original history, his execution of Zhu Yijun's holy decree was amazing, not only referring to where to fight, but also absolutely not Li Chengliang's performance of preserving strength at every turn, and even raising his own respect, he is a "simple" martial artist.

Can't let honest people suffer, this is Gao Pragmatic's mentality towards Li Rusong, and he will not be angry with Li Rusong because Li Chengliang took refuge in the Heart School. Li Chengliang is Li Chengliang, Li Rusong is Li Rusong, even if it is father and son, it cannot be generalized.

I don't know if it is Gao pragmatic ideas and God unexpectedly agreed, his eastward return army just arrived in Yulin, there was good news: Huo Luochi, the two tribes of the rabbit were defeated and fled, the siege of Zhuang Langwei was resolved, and the Mingmeng coalition army did not give up, and followed its troops towards Xining, and now it may have reached Nianbo.

In this Zhuang Langwei siege relief operation, the first to arrive were Tokhtar and Ilduqi.

At that time, the situation was very delicate, although Liu Chengsi, the general soldier of Gansu in the city, knew that Tokh and Yile Duqi were sent by Gao Pragmatic to help in the war, but in view of the fact that Zhuang Langwei was already the last city on the main road connecting Gansu to the Ming Dynasty, he refused to "go out of the city to fight", and refused to rise to the head in the city, and made up his mind to be an iron turtle.

The divisions of Totok and Ilduqi and the Huoluochi and Zhuli Rabbit brothers happened to be 50,000 cavalry, and the two sides should theoretically be about the same in terms of combat strength.

Of course, Tokhtar was more prestigious, but he and Ilduqi had come in a hurry, and although they had eaten a lot along the way, after all, they were sleepy and tired, and they needed a little time to recover their mental and physical strength.

The Huo Luochi and Zhuli Rabbit brothers waited for their work, but because of the prestige of Tokto, they did not dare to launch an offensive at will, so the two sides opened a distance very tacitly - not only did they distance themselves from each other, but they also deliberately distanced themselves from the Acropolis of Zhuang Langwei.

Originally, according to this situation, as long as it was a day or two, when Tokhtar and Ilduqi's troops were rested, the two of them would definitely take the initiative to attack, but at this moment, the arrival of a person broke this tacit understanding.

There is no doubt that this person is Li Rusong.

Li Rusong's department has a small number of people, of which there are only 5,000 cavalry, and it stands to reason that it is not conspicuous in this kind of scene of 100,000 cavalry fighting against each other, and there is a high probability that he is only worthy of being a fighter, and he will even become a spectator.

However, Li Rusong is Li Rusong in the end, he may be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or he may be a master of art and bold, in short, as soon as he arrived in Zhuang Langwei, he found that the 100,000 cavalry on both sides were facing each other, and he directly launched an attack without saying a word.

This move completely exceeded everyone's expectations, not to mention that the Huoluochi brothers were completely stunned, even Totoku and Ilduqi didn't react at first.

At that time, there were less than 5,000 people on Huoluochi's side who were really ready for war, and the rest of the people were quite relaxed because of the detachment, and most of them were still eating, feeding the horses, etc. Li Rusong suddenly led 5,000 Liaodong cavalry under his command to kill, and immediately dispersed the part of the preparation for war - saying that it was preparing for war, they didn't expect this Ming cavalry to be so bold.

And there is another point, because Huoluochi knows the Ming cavalry best, the Ma family cavalry, that is, the cavalry brought out by Ma Fang at the beginning, and they are not very familiar with the Liaodong cavalry - they are on the right wing, and it is normal that they don't know the opponent on the left wing.

Although the Huoluochi brothers immediately sounded the trumpet to counterattack, but at this time the striker had been frustrated, and Tokh and Ilduqi also reacted, and the two sides also immediately moved troops to help the battle, and a scuffle began.
