This Qi Ting's admonition is unusual. He was a local official of the Xiqi Tusi near the Huangshui area in the western part of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of Tusi, of course, we must talk about the governance model in the western region of the Ming Dynasty. Although Gansu is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the governance situation in the border areas is complex, and it is difficult to look at it with a single thinking.

Among them, the Ganqing Hehuang area has been using the Tusi Tuguan system since the Yuan Dynasty. Qi Tingji's Western Qi Tusi is one of the four most powerful toasts in the Huangshui Basin. The other three are Dongqi Toast, East Li Toast, and West Li Toast. These are all local Mongolian ethnic groups.

Its ancestor Dorr only lost the knot is a Mongolian, the right of Gansu Province in the Yuan Dynasty. Daming Hongwu for four years, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of Hongwu, he was awarded the command of Xiningwei. The sub-end bamboo attack. and transferred to guard Xiningwei. In the first year of Jianwen, he conquered Beiping from the southern army and was killed. Zi Qi attacked, and Qi was the clan.

Inspiring, of course, the goods are not the whole story. It's just that Ma Yi, Ouyang Gon and others can only think of this for a while. After all, compared with reinforcements, it is more promising to raise gold and silver for the city of Ganzhou, which is already in the enclave of Daming.

But as soon as Sun Chuanting made a move, he immediately knew whether there was an expert. Everyone was shocked to find that Sun Chuanting had brought them better news than expected.

"There are reinforcements!" Lin Rirui couldn't help himself excitedly: "Dare to ask General Qi, has the Huangshui Fourth Department decided to send troops to aid Ganzhou City?" ”

Seeing that the governor of Gansu attached so much importance to himself, Qi Ting immediately became humble, and his attitude was a hundred times better than Lin Rirui's, and said: "Lord Governor, please rest assured, as long as there is still one person in my Huangshui Fourth Division, I will never let the thieves invade my western Ming Dynasty!" ”

Ma Yi couldn't help but exclaim, and repeatedly confirmed in disbelief: "Is this really the case? ”

"If there is a violation, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" Qi Tingzhi was very decisive.

Ouyang Gon listened on the side, and quietly pulled Yao Shiru, a general who had been acting as a passer-by in the corner, and said quietly: "I have been in the Ganqing Hehuang area for decades, but I have never heard these toasts so obedient." When Ma Dashuai was alive, not to mention these toasts, even the Tartars outside the Great Wall did not dare to make trouble. Can ...... now How can these toasts be as desperate as the revenge of killing their father? ”

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon......" Yao Shiru was worthy of his name, dragged a sentence, and said a very reasonable sentence.

The Ma Fang they are talking about is no stranger to everyone. This is not only that this Ma Fang is very famous in the military history of the Ming Dynasty, but also very close to them. The place where Ma Fang made meritorious contributions on the battlefield was in Gansu, and he was also Ma Yi's grandfather.

Among the border generals of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Fang is also a legendary figure, at that time it was rumored that "Ma Fang is not brave", and the poet Yin Geng of the same era also left a poem of "the famous General Wanlima, the white-haired Dan heart is heard by the world". "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that it was "one hundred and ten times of size, and his body was created by dozens of wounds, and it was not a big victory to hit the public with less." Dozens of ministers were captured, and the remnants were not counted, and the prestige shook the border, and he was the handsome champion for a while. Some opera and opera works have also put his stories on the stage, such as the drum lyrics "Xianglianpa", the Sichuan opera "Fish Scale Array", and the Peking opera "Ma Fang Trapped City".

Such a brave general guards the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally does not dare to let the villain make waves.

But now that the Ming Dynasty is weakening, how can these toasts be more respectful and obedient?

As soon as Yao Shiru thought of this, he secretly ran to Sun Chuanting's side and said in a low voice: "Supervisor, beware of fraud......

Sun Chuanting was such a sophisticated and intelligent person, and he suddenly heard the doubts in the hearts of the soldiers. He laughed, patted Yao Shiru on the shoulder, and pulled Qi Tingji out of the flower hall together: "Beat the drum to gather the generals and gather the whole army." Good news, Master! ”

When Qi Tingji, Ma Yi, and Lin Rirui heard this, they all went out one after another. Yao Shiru and Ouyang Gon, who were a few steps behind, were suspicious and followed.

In a short time, the people in the city will gather.

Three days ago, relying on Sun Chuanting to personally lead the troops to defend the city at the head of the city to boost morale, Xin Sichai drove the soldiers to attack the city several times but failed. Attacking the city in the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, although it is hard to defend the city, the siege is also even harder. Seeing that the defenders under Sun Chuanting's leadership still had some strength left, Xin Sichai finally gave up, died down, and temporarily withdrew his troops.

A single blow could not be effective, and the siege of the city in the past few days also gave the defenders of the city a little respite. Otherwise, let alone gathering the army to the school field, even a few generals would not have time to complain.

The school field is an uneven courtyard, which was originally the school field of the military guard station, and was later reorganized into a border army and not repaired much.

The soldiers in the city came to the aid in a variety of ways, including the soldiers who followed Sun Chuanting or Ma Yi and other Gansu generals early in the morning, as well as the weak local defenders, and some recruits who were temporarily recruited.

The sources are mixed, and the management is hard.

But when Sun Chuanting arrived, no matter which part of the soldiers and horses they were, they all took out their highest spirit and tried their best to sort out the queue.

When Sun Chuanting walked up to the earthen platform, the school yard had the appearance of an army, instead of being chaotic like a rabble.

"Morale...... It's still a little bad......" Ma Yi frowned, a little embarrassed, and a little unwilling.

Losing face means that the soldiers don't believe it, but it's because it's because it's the only way. Morale is low, and it is difficult to do better with another person.

It's just that Sun Chuanting thinks that he is the handsome talent who specializes in challenging high difficulties.

"I stand here today with great pride to witness a great day. First of all, he belongs to you who are here, and it is the brave people among you, the soldiers who went to the battlefield to defend the city, who have won the proud honor. You defended this city during the battle you fought three days ago. You are the undoubted heroes. Even though we are in a difficult situation, we have not fulfilled the reward we deserve to you. Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, his words sonorous and powerful: "But I, Sun Chuanting, swear to you with the honor and disgrace of my life." Honors and rewards will only be late, never absent. And today, I bring this good news! Let you understand that this day will come soon! ”

But miraculously, under the encouragement of the imperial commander-in-chief, off-stage, changes quickly appeared.

As if by magic, the veterans who had been a little irritated by the assembly listened to their chests. The confused recruits had a point, and everyone looked directly at Sun Chuanting, quietly expecting Sun Chuanting to continue talking.

Sun Chuanting did not live up to them, he clapped his hands and summoned Qi Tingzhi.

Qi Tingji obviously expected that he would come to the stage.

At this time, Ouyang Gon walked to Ma Yi's side and whispered: "I have checked, Qi Tingjian was sent in by Jinyiwei alone." The Jinyi guards were few elites, and it was impossible to bring the thousands of troops of Qi Tingji and other Tusi over. ”

Ma Yi's heart sank, and he was a little panicked.

Qi Tingji turned out to be alone!

If a person comes to the rescue, can it still be considered a reinforcement?

There's a hairy thing to do here!

Ma Yi couldn't stop complaining in his heart, but he must not demolish Sun Chuanting's platform. There was a sharp rise and fall in his heart, Ma Yi first held down Ouyang Gon, and then quietly made a decision: "Ouyang Gon, don't make a noise first." At the very least, you have to cooperate with the performance of an empty city plan. As for whether it works...... I can't take care of it! ”

A cadre of military generals slandered Sun Chuanting a lot in his heart.

At this time, Qi Tingji walked up to the stage, and he looked at the crowd: "When all the robes of Ganqing Hehuang saw me, they should understand who is below." That's right, Huang Shui Xi Qi Tusi Qi Tingzhi, I have seen you. This time, more than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers behind me did not enter the city......"

Ma Yi suddenly stepped up, his face turned pale: "How can you win the hearts of my army like this?" ”

He wanted to stop Qi Ting's advice, saying that the reinforcements did not enter the city, so was it to inspire the morale of the army or to discourage the morale of the army?

But another man stopped him.

Sun Chuanting held down Ma Yi and said, "I haven't finished talking yet." How is there no reinforcements? ”

"But the twenty-first local official of Ganqing River Huang has been instructed by the Immortal Heaven to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty forever, and I will never regret it. This time, the twenty-one local officials of Ganqing Hehuang have joined forces to take action and swear to defeat Li Thief for the Ming official army! Qi Tingji shouted loudly.

Lin Rirui shouted: "The 20,000 Tusi army has set off in the starry night to rescue Ganzhou!" Ladies and gentlemen, I am saved in Ganzhou! ”

"Ganzhou is saved!"

"Ganzhou is saved!"

……

Countless cheers rang out with great enthusiasm.

Ma Yi pursed his lips, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Something is wrong." What is this Qi Tingzhi doing? When did Toast become so obedient? Are they going to be a Ming Dynasty, or are they going to be spies? ”

"Certainly not the latter. You ...... patiently" Sun Chuanting patted Ma Yi on the shoulder and strode onto the stage.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but press his hands, and the atmosphere on the scene slowly calmed down. Everyone was puzzled, this was a good time to boost morale, why did Sun Chuanting suppress it?

Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Chuanting's body, but Sun Chuanting turned around, slowly escaped from a yellow silk in his hand, and said, "My Ming soldiers, please see!" Two months ago, that is, in October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming had already led the Royal Guards Army to conquer Jiannu Shengjing! Ladies and gentlemen, I have conquered Jiannu Shengjing! Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has led the army back to China, and he will be able to rush to the aid in a few days. Just a thief, why be afraid? ”

"This matter has spread all over Mongolia!" Qi Tingji said loudly: "God bless Daming! ”

Ma Yi, Ouyang Gon, Yao Shiru and Lin Rirui and others suddenly realized.

Of course, Qi Tingzhi is not on the side of Southern Mongolia at the moment, and they are not following the hardcore of the Qing State. Therefore, he was naturally very interested in the bad news of the Qing court four months ago.

Although Gansu is an enclave of the Ming Dynasty, it is very normal for Mongolians of the same language and race to pass on the news that shook the world four months ago. After all, Moxi Mongolia and Monan Mongolia are both grasslands.

Knowing the strength of the Royal Guard, it is only natural that the loyalty of the Tusi in the Ganqing River Huang region suddenly soared.

Even Jiannu's army can defeat Shengjing, but a few rebellious thieves are nothing?

If not make a political investment now, when?

Qi Tingjian was unprecedentedly firm at the moment.

Ma Yi burst into tears: "God bless Daming!" Such a great victory, glorious through the ages. I'm Ming, Wan Sheng! ”

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty wins!" Lin Rirui hurriedly threw a look at Ouyang Gon, Yao Shiru and others.

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty wins!" Ouyang Gon, Yao Shiru and others shouted one after another.

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty wins!"

In the field, countless soldiers chanted.

Morale, completely high worry-free!

With the capture of Shengjing, which boosted morale, and with the help of Ganqinghe Huang Tusi. Who has doubts about the next victory?

……

Speaking of Nanxunfang, few people know about this place, but if you change the name: Wangfujing Street, everyone will understand how expensive this place is.

Similarly, in the Ming Dynasty, Nanxunfang was also a place where many high-ranking officials lived.

Now, located on the road of a famous Wang Libu Lane in Nanxun Fang, a very ordinary small sedan chair fell in a remote side door of Wang Libu Lane, which only accommodates the size of a flat arm.

The name of Wang Libu Lane has changed, and it is a name that has only recently been evoked in the past two years. The reason is also simple, that is, Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, lives here.

Wang Duo's mansion is considered small among the officials in Beijing, and the courtyard with two entrances is inconspicuous in Nanxunfang. But the visiting one who came in a small sedan chair obviously did not come to appreciate the architecture, and he understood that Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was quite a survival wiser.

Xu was poor in his childhood, and because he was an official and a noble minister, Wang Duo's family was quite low-key in Beijing and was known as a clear name, so the position of the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu experienced no signs of shaking the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Therefore, Wang Duo has become a beacon and the center of many people's sight.

For example, this one who is here today.

Wang Duo knew that the new emperor was quite sensitive when he ascended the throne and changed power, so he always closed his door to guests. But when this man comes today, he will see him again.

Because, this person is the Minister of Education and Culture, Huang Daozhou.

Zodiac Zhou has a great reputation, and it is a rare pillar in the clear stream, and Zhu Cihong was quite conflicting when he was only the prince. However, after the crown prince was in charge of Nanjing, he still asked Huang Daozhou to run a school and served as the minister of education and culture in the Nanjing cabinet.

At present, the new emperor has registered, and the Nanjing cabinet has entered Beijing, as if it is a new cabinet, a new Zaifu. Moreover, Wang Duo is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Daozhou is the Minister of Education and Culture, and there are many overlaps with the functions and powers of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, so he may be Wang Duo's boss at that time.

Such a person came to Wang Duo's mansion in person, how could Wang Duo not see him?

The small sedan chair fell on the side door, the curtain on the sedan chair had not been lifted, the side door had been opened, Wang Duo, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, greeted him personally, lifted the curtain, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shi Zhai personally came to the door, failed to greet him from afar, and looked at Haihan." ”

Wang Butang's words are out, and there is no need to mention polite words. Let's go in first. "Zodiac Zhou is now sixty-one years old. But the old man didn't have much twilight, and as soon as he saw Wang Duo, he beckoned him in.

All the way through the corridor and alley, into the study, the two sides sat down, Wang Duo took the lead and said: "Mr. Shi Zhai came today, dare to ask what is the matter?" ”

"It's for the sake of the state. The Holy Lord is going to take the royal conquest himself......" Huang Daozhou shook his head slowly, his expression pessimistic. (To be continued.) )
