Chapter 111 Jiajing's regret

A sound of muskets and cannons passed.

Ma Fang coughed violently. A large amount of white smoke drowned him. He stood up slowly. He felt as if he was standing in a fairyland. The stage effect formed by the large amount of smoke blocked countless blood. However, Ma Fang could still see that there were about hundreds of riders lying densely behind him dozens of steps.

In other words, if Qi Jiguang slowed down a little, these cavalry horse hooves would step on him.

You should know that dozens of steps are in a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

Ma Fang shouted, "Whoever is still alive, get up."

Many people stood up one after another. Ma Fang saw that there were only more than 300 people. When he rushed out, there were eight hundred cavalry up and down. When he came back, there were only three hundred cavalry, and so many comrades broke all of a sudden. There was a head in his hand. Ma Fang didn't know if it was worth it.

But there are some things on the battlefield that are hard to say whether they are worth or not. Because the battlefield never gives something value, but destroys all material and spiritual values.

Ma Fang is under the protection of the Ming army's muskets and cannons. If he rushes hard, there will be too many casualties.

So the war came to an end.

Zhou Mengchen hurriedly let Ma Fang enter the formation, and Altan had to deal with the situation he didn't want to face. A respected veteran was robbed of his head in front of him. This was not easy to deal with.

Both sides were cleaning up the situation and waiting for the next round of offense and defense. But they didn't know that this scene shocked someone.

That is Jiajing.

To be honest, Zhou Mengchen has forgotten Emperor Jiajing on Chaoyang City Tower.

Yes, when your life is threatened at all times, who has the time to care whether your boss is peeking at the screen?

But for Jiajing, today is a day of ups and downs.

Before the war started, he thought that the number of Ming soldiers was so plagued. Even if there were setbacks, he could still be defeated by the Beijing city wall, and he would lose 8,000 yuan. Or, the war would damage a few guerrilla generals, which was not in Jiajing's eyes at all. OK?

As a result, Qiu Luan gave him a big surprise.

He never expected that this battle would be like this.

After Jiajing did not know much psychological construction, he had to accept that the Ming army was already rotten to the core and could no longer fight. He had just accepted this fact, but he did not want to face such a scene again.

Jiajing stood up and looked far. He understood the whole situation best, but at the beginning, the Tartars shot arrows around the chariot array, and he didn't know the viciousness. However, Jiajing was very intelligent. After a while, he realized it. Before Jiajing was worried about Zhou Mengchen, a fierce sound of cannons, hundreds of cavalry rushed out and rushed into the depths of the Tartars formation in one fell swoop.

Jiajing is on a high place, and he uses a thousand-mile mirror to summarize the overall situation, and he can see it clearly than anyone else.

Nearly a thousand cavalrymen formed a sharp contrast in front of the 100,000 Tatar cavalry. Jiajing couldn't help but think of some words, such as a mantis arm hitting a chariot and an ant shaking a tree.

Jiajing thought they had gone but never returned, but they were in a state of power and returned with great force.

Jiajing couldn't help but exclaim and said, "I heard that Guan Gong killed Yan Liang by saying that he was the novelist Yan. When I saw him today, the ancients really did not deceive me. Lu Bing, who is this?"

Lu Bing said: "I know that the one who cuts off is the King Xiao of the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. As for the person who killed the enemy generals, I will think about it for a moment."

Jiajing said: "Wang Xiao, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, was posthumously appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Yin Yiwei Qianhu. If Wang Xiao has an adult son, he will serve in front of me."

Lu Bing said: "I have thanked Your Majesty for your behalf. I remember that when the old general Zhou was dying, he recommended a general to Zhou Mengchen. He said that he had a general named Ma Fang. I have read the list of Zhou Mengchen's army and there was such a general. As for whether this person is this person, I don't know."

In fact, Lu Bing has a very good memory, so why can't he remember it? He turned it over for a moment, but it was actually for the Jinyiwei. He wanted to ask for credit for Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao is a member of the Jinyiwei, and Wang Xiao's contribution is the overall contribution of the Jinyiwei.

Although Wang Xiao died in the battle, everyone could see that the main contribution of this battle was Ma Fang.

If we talk about Ma Fang first, Wang Xiao would wait and see that there would be no such reward. Yinzi is a thousand households of Jinyiwei. You should know that many old ministers were just this kind of grace when they retired.

Jiajing said: "The country still needs veterans. Write down this name. If he can survive, I will definitely be rewarded." Jiajing said with a little excitement, "With this battle, are the Tartars powerless to Zhou Mengchen?"

Lu Bing was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, unless Altan dies under the city, I'm afraid that today's affairs will not be considered finished."

Lu Bing also wanted to give Jiajing a good answer.

But not.

The strength difference is too big.

Five thousand vs. one hundred thousand, a comparison of the order of magnitude has already shown many problems. Five thousand exceeds one hundred thousand, and it is infantry defeating the cavalry, which is simply impossible.

A hint of excitement in Jiajing's tone suddenly subsided. He asked, "Brother Bing, why are they all the Ming army? There is such a big difference?"

Lu Bing remained silent about this sentence.

First, this question is too big, so big that Lu Bing doesn't know how to answer this question. Even if he says tens of thousands or tens of thousands of words, he may not be able to explain it clearly. Secondly, Lu Bing also heard that Jiajing was not asking him, but asking himself.

Lu Bing doesn't need an answer at all.

As Lu Bing inferred, Jiajing did not ask. He was thinking about this question repeatedly in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that it was still a human problem.

For Jiajing, the army has always been a strange field. Jiajing can only know what the army looks like from some memorials. Everyone has their own opinions. For Jiajing, it has always been a sight to see flowers in the fog. Although Jiajing is very smart, the military affairs are not just smart.

After thinking about it, he could only attribute the matter to people.

He believes that the reason for such a sharp contrast is that he cannot use it himself.

This is also the political concept of traditional Confucian scholars and officials. It seems that if you use the right person, things can be done well.

"I knew that Zhou Mengchen had such a talent in using troops. He ordered him to guard the border and could serve me. Why did Yang Wenxiang feel the humiliation today?" Jiajing said in his heart: "And it was too late. Zhou Mengchen might not be spared today. For a moment, I found a capable border minister from where to relieve my worries."

Today's events gave Jiajing a deep understanding of the importance of effective border ministers. But border ministers are not easy to choose. Zhou Mengchen stood out today. He was originally the most suitable candidate. It was just a pity.

Yang Wenxiang is talking about Yang Yiqing.

Among the border ministers of the Jiajing dynasty, Zeng Xian was a very outstanding one, but if Zeng Xian was the most outstanding one in the Jiajing dynasty, there was a problem. Because an old minister was ignored, this old minister was Yang Yiqing, who had served as the chief minister of the cabinet.

Although Yang Yiqing served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, in many impressions, Yang Yiqing was not deeply impressed by Yang Yiqing as the chief assistant. However, he had a deep impression of Yang Yiqing as the general manager of the trilateral system. Yang Yiqing had an indissoluble bond with the northwest all his life. To be honest, Qiu Luan's grandfather Qiu Yue was Yang Yiqing's old subordinate.

People at that time regarded Yang Yiqing as Guo Ziyi of this dynasty.

He was also the only minister who had a few generals and ministers in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of Jiajing, a few years after Jiajing ascended the throne, Jiajing was worried about the northern enemy and asked Yang Yiqing to stay in the northwest for several years, but the northwest was peaceful.

It wasn't because the Tartars had learned well, they didn't dare. Yang Yiqing was already very old at that time.

Yang Yiqing had gone through four dynasties, Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing. Yang Yiqing mentioned that there were not many Tartars in the Hetao area at that time, but Liu Jin refused. Then Yang Yiqing gave advice to the eunuch Zhang Yong. After quelling the rebellion of King Anhua, it was after Qiu Yue started his family that he killed Liu Jin with his hands.

Although Yang Yiqing was not without any problems. However, when Yang Yiqing was there, Jiajing never worried about border affairs. On the contrary, after Yang Yiqing passed away, border troubles gradually increased. This may be a coincidence. After all, Jiajing was also twenty years in the early stages of Jiajing's efforts to cure. But it is probably not entirely a coincidence.
