In late August, even though there was an autumn rain inside and outside Juyong Pass, the weather was not very cold, and it was the time when the Tatars were wanton and plundered the land of the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, out of Juyongguan, the soldiers and horses led by Shen Xi did not have much combat effectiveness, and there were some firearms in the army, but there was not even a Franc machine gun, and when the Tatar cavalry attacked, it only took five or six hundred Tatar cavalry to charge and crush the scattered team.

National responsibility or something, Shen Xi can only put it aside for the time being, even if he goes to the battlefield with his head, he must let his death be worthwhile, and he can't do it directly as a Tatar iron cavalry sword.

Besides, people are dead, the team is scattered, and any feelings for the family and country are nonsense, Shen Xi thinks that leading troops to the northwest is to send him to death, but he still hopes to fight a bloody way out of a desperate situation.

Shen Xi didn't have the heart to pay attention to Hu Songyue and the others, these people were greedy for money and afraid of death.

Shen Xi thought to himself, since you want to fight against me, and you are trying to force me to obey in this way, then I will carry it hard first, and take it to the battlefield without grinding the edges and corners, purely to deliver food to the Tatars.

Shen Xi dismissed Hu Songyue and the others, and Zhang Yong came to see Shen Xi with worries.

Shen Xi was not in a hurry to lead the troops out of Juyong Pass, and Zhang Yong was a little embarrassed as a supervisor.

"Lord Shen, you see that this has been to Juyong Pass for a few days, although the weather has not been so good recently, an autumn rain and a cold, but if you don't go out of Juyong Pass again, let Beiyi do anything outside the pass, Your Majesty will investigate it, you and I can't afford it!"

Zhang Yong still admired and supported Shen Xi's cowering move, because in this way, he didn't have to go to the battlefield to die. But what he was worried about was that the errand assigned by the imperial court could not be completed, and Shen Xi was grinding foreign workers here, and he, as a supervisor, could not ignore it.

Shen Xi asked with a smile: "Then with Gonggong Zhang's intentions, he should immediately lead the troops out of the customs?" ”

Zhang Yong sighed lightly: "This situation in the army, our family also sees it in our eyes, those Beijing soldiers are above the top, knowing that they are desperate to the northwest, who wants to hang their heads on the waistband of their trousers to play, and they will inevitably collapse when they encounter Beiyi!" It's better to ...... Let our family write a secret letter to Your Majesty, tell Your Majesty what is happening here, and let Your Majesty severely punish those disobedient ruffians? ”

Shen Xi smiled slightly, noncommittal!

At this time, he saw that Zhang Yong seemed to be honest and responsible, but in fact he was cunning, and he didn't want to go out of the customs and die, but he always needed to find a reason to be stationed in such a place.

Since Hu Songyue and several other generals are messing with Shen Xi, the commander, Zhang Yong wants to take the opportunity to put the blame on these generals.

"No need."

Shen Xi said, "If what I expect is not bad, in the next few days, there may be trouble outside Juyong Pass, and I will enter Juyong Pass in a day or two, let's take a step at a time!" ”

Zhang Yong asked in surprise, "Isn't Lord Shen what news did you learn?" Judging from the current situation, isn't this Juyongguan very safe, when will it ...... Anyway, leading the troops to fight, that's Lord Shen's business, you don't need to explain it to our family, our family is purely for Lord Shen in the army, you don't have to take our family's words to heart! ”

After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he left happily, and he heard that he would soon be able to garrison troops in Yongguan, which was more stable than stationing in the pass, so he was naturally full of joy.

Zhang Yong's mind is bright, he imagined how to save his life in the northwest battle before leaving the capital, and the safest way is to let Shenxi garrison in a certain city at the beginning of the battle, and occasionally go out to fight with the Tatar cavalry, and earn three or five heads back, so that he can explain to the court, so as not to be said by the court to be inactive, and he himself hides in the city so as not to worry about his life.

Zhang Yong was originally worried about how to tell Shen Xi, but now Shen Xi took the initiative to ask Chen Bing to live in Yongguan, which coincided with his expectations.

Sure enough, on August 25, the day after Hu Songyue and the others met Shen Xi, information came that it was the Tatar sentry who had appeared outside Juyong Pass, and Juyong Pass was in an emergency.

Shen Xi's troops are less than twenty miles away from Juyong Pass, and no matter what, they must immediately enter Juyong Pass.

Hu Songyue and those unfamiliar soldiers in Beijing also lost the courage to "don't leave if they don't give money" at this time, because they know very well that if they don't enter Juyong Pass immediately, once there is something bad in Juyong Pass, they will not escape the blame, and their wives and children will be unlucky.

The garrison is under the Yongguan Pass, watching the Xiongguan fall without help, the imperial court will never tolerate this kind of thing happening, if it is not to cure the crime of one Shen Xi, everything will be fine, and they will all suffer.

Moreover, the Tatars threatened Juyong Pass, which was tantamount to threatening the safety of the 6,000 people in the Beijing camp along the way. Everyone understands that Kannai is not safe.

Decades ago, the Warat people, who were also the remnants of Meng Yuan, successfully knocked on the pass, once the Juyong Pass was broken, they didn't even have the opportunity to be deserters, so it was better to garrison the Juyong Pass first, and then slowly talk to Shen Xi about rewards.

In the morning of the same day, the soldiers and horses set off, and in the early afternoon, the soldiers and horses of the 6,000 Beijing battalion carried grain and grass into the Juyong Guangou.

The soldiers slept in the barren mountains and mountains for a few days, and it coincided with the continuous autumn rain to drop down significantly, and the whole person finally settled down when they entered the Juyong Pass.

The laziness of the soldiers in the Beijing camp has always been very serious, and on that day a group of soldiers seemed to have returned to the camp of the Beijing division, arguing with each other while camping and resting.

……

……

Juyongguan terrain is dangerous, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, it has two passes in the north and south, the south is called "Nankou", and the north is called "Badaling".

The mountains on both sides of Juyong Pass are majestic, there is a valley of more than 30 miles in the middle, commonly known as "Guan Gou", Ju Yong Pass is across the Guan Ditch.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yan State wanted to control this mouth, when it was called "Juyong Sai", during the Han Dynasty, Juyong Guancheng has been quite large-scale, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Guancheng building and the Great Wall were connected together.

Since then, the Tang, Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, and the Juyong Gorge have all been set up in the city.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Juyong Pass was an important traffic avenue leading to Shangdu in Dadu, and the emperor often passed by from here, and there were palaces, temples, gardens and other buildings in the pass, which remained until the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the general Xu Da and the deputy general Chang Yuchun built Juyong Guancheng: "across two mountains, thirteen miles on Monday, four feet high and two feet." Since then, the Yongle and Xuande dynasties have been large-scale expansion, to the time of Yingzong's personal expedition, Yingzong is from Juyong Pass to the north, all the way to Datong, retreat to the Juyong Pass less than 100 miles away from the civil fort, defeated and hated.

After the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Jingtai enlarged and strengthened the city during the Jingtai period, set up two gates of water and land, and built urn cities outside the north and south gates, to prevent the Wara people from going and returning, since then it has formed the defense system of Juyongguan from north to south by the fork city, Juyongwai Town, Shangguan City, Zhongguancheng and Nankou five lines of defense.

Juyong Guanzhong Guancheng is where the main pass is located, and Long Qingwei is responsible for guarding the town and is subordinate to the Houjun Governor's Mansion.

Shen Xi had passed by Juyong Pass when he transported artillery to the northwest before, and he had a relaxed attitude at that time, after all, the Tatars had not yet invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains on a large scale at that time, but this time, Yansui Town had been lost, and the Tatars were rampant in the open area from the inner Great Wall to the outer Great Wall.

Juyong Pass was the most important gateway for the inner long town to defend Gyeonggi, and Shen Xi led his troops to Juyong Pass, which meant that he officially boarded the "first line" of the Ming Dynasty's war with the Tatars.

After entering the city, the first thing Shen Xi saw was the commander of Long Qingwei.

This time, Shen Xi led the troops through Juyong Pass as the new governor of Yansui, and he had no direct relationship with Long Qingwei, but the emperor gave him the power to gather the remnants of the army along the line and act cheaply, plus he was a civil minister leading the troops, with the nature of Qincha, so even if Shen Xi could not directly transfer Long Qingwei's soldiers to follow orders, he also had the right to call the commander of the guard to discuss a plan to use troops and let Long Qingwei "cooperate" with the military operation.

Long Qingwei commanded Li Pin to personally go to the camp where the Beijing battalion was stationed to meet Shen Xi.

Although Li Pin held an important position and had a very high status in the defense of Juyong Pass, and even hung up the title of chief military officer after the war in the northwest, he could dispatch soldiers and horses from the guards around Juyong Pass, but when he faced Shen Xi, the governor of the right capital of Zheng Erpin, and the governor of Yansui, he didn't dare to take a breath.

In the northwest frontier system of the Ming Dynasty, the trilateral governor acted as the "generalissimo of soldiers and horses", and the governor of Yansui has always been the adjutant of the trilateral governor, which is equivalent to the deputy marshal in charge of logistics and supply in wartime.

Shen Xi was ordered to save the northwest crisis in danger, and he had been leveling bandits in the southeast before, not because the emperor was temporarily recruited, and he had already intended to cultivate and exercise.

Considering all aspects of the situation, Shen Xi's status in the war was quite high, and after Li Pin saw Shen Xi, he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, which made several Beijing camp generals next to him extremely surprised.

Hu Songyue and others have always looked above the top, and felt that Shen Xi was "nothing more than that".

Even if Shen Xi is respected as the governor of Yansui, but in the end he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, how can He De let us obey him?

But in the Northwest Frontier Army, Shen Xi's name is quite loud.

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the Ming Dynasty fought with the Tatars, and Shen Xi helped Liu Daxia to turn the tide in the northwest, although this matter was known to the Hongzhi Emperor two or three years later, but it was not a secret at all among the generals of the three sides of the northwest and Datong, Xuanfu and other towns.

Shen Xi's deeds of using ox carts to transport artillery to break through tens of thousands of Tatar heroes have long been circulated among these hereditary generals, and rumors are always more mysterious than reality, in the eyes of these border generals, Shen Xi is a contemporary Zhuge Liang, using soldiers like a god, no one dares to despise it.

Shen Xi didn't take Li Pin's compliments too seriously.

The commanders of Fujian and Guangdong provinces made Li Che and Chang Lan have greater official positions than Li Pin, and the compliments on him are simply beyond measure, and he doesn't feel much honored.

After the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty gradually changed from paying equal attention to civil and military affairs to commanding the army, and the status of military generals gradually became low. What's more, Shen Xi is a feudal official, and he is a top civil servant, although this is only a false title, but it is enough to scare a large number of people.

"General Li doesn't need to be polite, this official came to the northwest to be ordered by the emperor to level the trouble of the north, and he can do official business." There was a majesty in Shen Xi's tone.

Hu Songyue and the others secretly disdain, Li Pinnai is a Juyong guard general with the rank of general soldier, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and there are only five thousand households directly under him, can he stand such rude words?

Unexpectedly, Li Pinbi said respectfully: "It is really an honor for me to be able to come to Juyong Pass. The last general will set up a banquet for the adults at the gate of the defense yamen, and I don't know ...... the adults Are you willing to appreciate your face? ”
