Chapter 161: Autumn wind and autumn rain worry about killing people

It's late autumn and winter has not yet entered.

Bad news from all sides reached the capital.

First, Uncle Pengcheng went.

Uncle Peng Cheng was the natal family of the Empress Dowager, and the current Uncle Peng Cheng was the nephew of the Empress Dowager. His death made the Empress Dowager even more sad.

Within a year, King Yue passed away and Bo Pengcheng passed away. King Xiang stayed far away, and we almost never saw each other again in this life.

The Empress Dowager was absolutely overwhelmed by time. Her body and bones also fell ill again as the weather gradually cooled her body.

From then on, the bones in his body were good and bad, and he lingered on the sick bed.

Of course, although the Empress Dowager is ill, the illness is not so serious that she cannot get out of bed. It is also normal for the elderly to feel uncomfortable.

However, the Empress Dowager did not want to interfere with Zhu Qizhen's handling of government affairs, so she was simply ill.

He never saw anyone again.

The only thing she does is to choose a queen for the emperor.

The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, although the Empress Dowager Sun had already bowed her head to the Empress Dowager and greeted her every day, which was an extremely filial form.

However, the Empress Dowager was still very upset about the abolition of the Empress.

It’s not that I’m clinging to this matter, but that I feel extremely uncomfortable that there is such a big stain on Emperor Xuanzong’s name after his death.

Therefore, she worked hard on this matter.

When Zhu Qizhen encountered something, he went to ask the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager changed the topic to post-election. She even deliberately said to the people in the palace: "I am old and don't want to take care of things anymore. The emperor has grown up, so he will enjoy

I have been blessed for several years."

These words naturally reached Zhu Qizhen's ears.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen believe that the Empress Dowager really didn't want to take care of things anymore.

Of course, even if Zhu Qizhen knew about it, he could not change the form. The memorials he reviewed every day were placed in Cining Palace that night.

Wang Zhen actually said that these memorials were placed wherever they were and moved from there the next day. They were not even moved.

The Empress Dowager also said that Wang Zhen would not be allowed to move this thing around again.

But Zhu Qizhen insisted on this.

However, Zhu Qizhen had no intention of spending too much time on this matter. Because of all kinds of bad news, Zhu Qizhen had been buried for a long time.

There are three main pieces of bad news. First, Wu Liangha is unstable.

Although Wuliangha is subordinate to Wasi, it is an independent tribe under Wasi. Or to be more precise, Wuliangha originally surrendered to Tuohuan, not Yexian.

After Tuo Huan's death, Wasi's influence was greatly reduced. It's unclear how loyal Wu Liangha was to Wasi.

Of course, Wu Liangha was not very loyal to Wasa, and even less loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

So this autumn, Wu Liangha began to frequently harass the border.

Because in the spring, Jin Yiwei's intelligence network in Wasi suffered a major setback. Jin Yiwei's intelligence monitoring of Wasi has been under reconstruction and has not been clarified.

Was Wuliangha's move to the south a result of Wuliangha's own actions, or was it the instigation of Wasi behind the scenes?

However, after these situations, it is not too late to find out.

The most important thing now is fighting.

The second is the resurgence of child chaos in Guangxi.

Guangxi was not a stable place to begin with, especially in the Dadeng Gorge area, where chaos frequently occurred. It was only during the Chenghua period that things were completely pacified.

During the Xuande period, the Tong tribe in Guangxi, led by Da Tengxia, rebelled repeatedly, and the court spent a lot of effort before settling down.

Among them, the hero who guarded Guangxi was Huaiyuan Bo Shanyun.

The reason why Guangxi is in chaos is also directly related to Huaiyuan Boshan Yun.

It’s not that Huaiyuan Bo Shanyun did anything wrong.

But the veteran is no longer here.

Shan Yun passed away in the third year of Zhengtong. Now, in just one year, various tribes in Guangxi have started to behave in the same way. If Shan Yun was here, it would not be like this.

It's just that famous people will wither away, it's so cruel.

The third is that chaos in Songpan has begun again.

Seeing the war in Songpan resumed, Zhu Qizhen was greatly troubled.

Because the Songpan Rebellion happened not only once or twice, but in detail, this is the third time. There were two times during the Xuande period, as mentioned above.

It was during the Battle of Songpan that Jiang Gui stood out and was appreciated by the court.

Zhu Qizhen was not afraid of a big battle. Like Luchuan, hundreds of thousands of troops lined up to fight. Zhu Qizhen was more relaxed. But here in Songpan, located at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu, among the mountains, there was only one person available.

Twenty thousand horses.

And because the Ming army did not do it properly before.

Now the people here in Songpan have long been enemies with the imperial court. Once the army arrives, it will be naturally pacified. Once the army leaves, the war will start again within a few years.

In the battle between Zhu Qizhen and Luchuan, the reason why Zhu Qizhen attached so much importance to the aftermath was naturally because of Songpan's mistakes.

These three things almost rushed together and entered the palace.

After Zhu Qizhen saw it, the first thing he did was regret. He regretted letting Yang Rong return to his hometown. Dealing with these things was Yang Rong's strength.

Fortunately, Zhang Fu is still there.

Perhaps Zhang Fu's understanding of the local area is not as good as Yang Rong's, but his understanding of the military is still better than Yang Rong's, so Zhang Fu is enough to clear up Zhu Qizhen's doubts.

So Zhu Qizhen immediately summoned Zhang Fu to the court.

Zhang Fu has been busy with martial arts during this period of time.

Zhang Fu had already understood this and vacated a barracks in the capital as a martial arts station.

Although the station has been decided, it will take some time for the officers who want to join the army to come from the guards, so the start of the school year is also postponed to next year.

Zhang Fu saw these three urgent reports and said: "Wuliangha is not something to be afraid of, Yang Hong can defeat it."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said, "But the guard of Dushi Castle?"

Kaiping and Daning were the two fists of the Ming Dynasty reaching out to the grassland. However, from Yongle to Xuande, they were both abolished and both moved inland.

Needless to say, Daning was evacuated hundreds of miles away, but Kaiping left an elbow, which is the Monolithic Fortress.

If you look at the map, you will know that in the planning of the Great Wall, the Monolith Fort is a prominent point, with grassland on almost three sides, except for the Longmen Guards on the south side.

Yes, it’s the Longmen Guard at Longmen Inn. Even Longmen Inn was inspired by the fact that after Yu Qian was killed, his son exiled the Longmen Guard.

Therefore, this place is very important, and Yang Hong has been able to guard it for many years, and even Zhu Qizhen has heard about it.

Zhang Fu said: "Exactly, Yang Hong comes from a hundred hereditary families and has been guarding Dushi Castle for several years. He is brave and good at fighting. He is best at riding and defeating cavalry. He is a veteran general. There is nothing to fear about him in Wuliangha.

"

Zhang Fu didn't care at all about Wu Liangha.

Because throughout the history of Wuliangha, at least up to now, the Ming Dynasty has almost never lost a war against Wuliangha. Even Emperor Xuanzong went out to the fortress and defeated Wuliangha.

Wu Liangha even had a staff in the imperial court, the so-called Duoyan Three Guards.

Zhu Qizhen said: "How old is Yang Honger now?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fu silently made an estimate and said, "I haven't noticed that he seems to be over fifty. The last time I saw him was when he was under the command of Marquis Yangwu."

"He is a good man."

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart. He was over fifty.

This shows that Yang Hong doesn’t know how many years he can play.

In fact, he had already predicted it, and those who could fight were all veterans. But the death of Shan Yun filled Zhu Qizhen's heart with a sense of crisis. As long as the mountain clouds are there, Guangxi is as solid as a rock, but when the mountain clouds go, chaos will ensue.

Get up again.

What should I do if something like this happens again?

Zhu Qizhen calmed down the worries in his heart and continued to ask: "There is nothing to be afraid of Wu Liangha. Then the war in the southwest will start. Now that Songpan and Guangxi chieftains are in rebellion, will the Guizhou chieftains also become restless?"

"The Battle of Luchuan will be delayed."

What Zhu Qizhen was worried about was not only the delay, but what he was even more worried about was that this incident itself was a chain reaction of Luchuan's defeat of the Ming army in Yunnan.

Now it seems that there is no problem, because Guangxi and Songpan are not on the Zhengluchuan logistics route.

Regardless of whether you enter Yunnan from Sichuan or Huguang, you have to pass through Guizhou.

But there are more chieftains in Guizhou than in Yunnan. What would happen to Guizhou?

But it’s hard to say.

Even if there is a problem with Guizhou's grain road and Yunnan is defeated, it is estimated that the southwest will be full of war, and I won't have it.

I want to settle down by then, but I don't know how much effort it will take.
