Earlier, when Zhu Gaoxu left Zhangde Mansion, he had issued an order to the General Administration of the Peking and the General Administration of the Shandong, and ordered the generals of the guards near the north to go to Peiping to report their duties.
The Liaodong Dusi (near Liaoyang) has also received an order and subsequently ordered the military generals of the guards to set out south.
The commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander is Cao Yi. He has been working in the late Hongwu year to the present.
Recently, the emperor's northern tour and summoning military generals from various guards to report their duties seemed to be a relatively normal thing, but Cao Yi was a little uneasy.
Today he was thinking about this in the yamen office again, and suddenly reported to He Hao, the general of the Daning City, to ask for a meeting.Cao Yi immediately said to the guard: Please.
He Hao was also one of the people who wanted to report his work, but he first came to Liaodong Metropolitan.Obviously He Hao is Cao Yi's confidant.
During the Jingnan Campaign, King Ning was forced to join the Jingnan Army. All his official guards were carried away by Emperor Taizong and brought a large group of Mongolian cavalry from the Urianha tribes.
Daning City was also empty for a while.
(Daning City is located in the south of Chifeng City, north of Yàn Mountain, and northwest of the western Liaoning Corridor.)
Later, King Ning moved his vassal state to Jiangxi, and Daning City lost its status as the fief of the vassal kings, and the Daning Metropolitan State was almost dead in name only.
During the Yongle period, the Liaodong Metropolitan City was temporarily stationed by the Liaodong Metropolitan Government, and it has been today.
At that time, Cao Yi, the commander of Liaodong, sent him the person he was the general He Hao.
After a while, He Hao walked into the signing room.He was a burly man, and his movements were also powerful. He held his fists and bowed loudly, saying: Finally, he will meet Cao Du.
well.Cao Yi, whose hair and beard were a little gray, nodded and replied, "You have to go to Peking quickly, don't delay it for too long."
He Hao's face was a little confused, probably because he came to Liaodong Metropolitan Capital, which was Cao Yi's meaning.However, He Hao did not say much and replied respectfully: Yes.
Cao Yi stood up from the chair, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: Your business will probably be in front of the emperor this time.The wards in the west did not get any benefits, and they were very jealous and didn’t take the opportunity to take the opportunity to expel the pot?
He Hao suddenly said when he heard this: Cao Dushi was worried about this matter. You must know about this matter now?From Yongping Prefecture to Daning City, there are no Jinyiwei in various yamen. They should have reported to the capital early, but no one has taken care of it over the years.Besides, it is not a strange thing. The merchants took Korean ginseng and other things from outside the pass, and then took goods from the mainland to outside the pass. The garrison along the way collected some passing money, which was a long time ago.
Cao Yi said: Brothers should be fine, I may have a hurdle.
He Hao immediately patted his chest and said: Don’t worry, Cao Duzhu, the matter is all his own decisions, and it has nothing to do with Cao Duzhu, who is far away in the Liaodong Duzhu!
snort.Cao Yi made a sound from his nose, not saying anything.
After a while, Cao Yi asked again: Are your business doing a bit big?
He Hao showed an awkward smile and said that he was doing business with the three guards of Duoyan, but in fact, there were more than the few people from the three guards.Before the Tatar tribes ascended the throne, they had already had a feud with the Ming Dynasty and their ordinary trade was cut off.The things needed by the Tatar tribes, such as tea, flour, rice, iron tools, etc., were all exchanged from the people of Duoyan Sanwei Uryanha.The people of Urianha bought it from us again.This business is too small to be small.
He continued bluntly: Later, we could no longer do it on our own, so we found several big salt merchants.
Those salt merchants asked for salt quotas, one of the methods was to send military rations to the border, get the official documents signed by the border general, and then change the salt quotas.
Another way is to simply spend money to buy salt selves from the vassal kings, and salt selves are all rewarded by the emperor.
However, salt veins were originally very expensive, and some salt merchants were willing to send military rations.
The food transport cost a lot of money. Some salt merchants simply find places to open up land around the Liaodong Dusi and Daning Dusi, and recruit refugees who settled down or even fled to farm.
Grow grain on the spot for the border generals in exchange for salt.
However, after the Wude Year, the court suddenly stopped the treasure banknotes and cast coins with silver and copper; the original part of the treasure banknotes that the emperor rewarded the vassal kings was replaced with salt.
Salt has caused too much, and prices have been falling all the way in the past two years.
Nowadays, most salt merchants are unwilling to send military rations, so they simply spend money to buy them.
At that time, we found another way to make money for the salt merchants in Daning Dusi.The things the people of Urianha wanted to buy were asked to send to Daning City.When they passed the customs, they said that they were things that needed to be renovated from the border areas or goods needed by the Daning garrison. They then ordered them along the way, and they were very smooth so far.
After saying that, He Hao emphasized: No matter how we investigate, we never trade with the Tatars, we only trade with the Urianha people.This is not considered a crime of collusion with the enemy!The people of Urianha supported Emperor Taizong back then, and now the Three Guards and their status are also the Three Guards set up in our Ming Dynasty.
Cao Yi looked at He Hao for a while and said calmly: The lords in the court are not fools. The Urianha people have a close relationship with the Korchin tribe among the Tatars.The things were taken into the hands of the Urianha people, and they were nothing more than a change of hands.
He Hao stretched out his neck: That's the Urianha people colluded with the enemy.
Forget it, forgot.Cao Yi shook his head and said, "Don't stay in Liaodong Dusi, I'll be ordered to go to Peking first."
He Hao clasped his fists and said: The last one will obey the order and leave.
Cao Yi watched He Hao walk out of the threshold and sighed secretly.
I heard from a friend in Peking that the Emperor's Northern Patrol Guards were more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry.
If there are too few people in the Northern Expedition, there are too few people. If there are only guards, it seems that there are more.
Cao Yi even boldly speculated that the emperor would not be here to clean up some disobedient border generals?
Cao Yi became more and more afraid the more he thought about it, but he was afraid and had no choice.
Now the Supreme Being Good at Fighting is famous. Not to mention that he followed Taizong out of the pass to fight and the Jingnan Battle as Taizong's arm; ascending to the throne in the battle of crimes was also fought, and he won the majority every time with few defeats, crossing the Ming Dynasty from the border of Yunnan and seizing the throne.
Cao Yi dared not resist such an emperor with a hundred leopards, so he could only wait for death.Even if he dares to resist, his subordinates will not be willing to follow him to die.
So Cao Yi began to comfort himself and tried his best to think about the benefits.
For example, after the ascension of the Emperor, most of the old ministers were not purged, and even some people who opposed the Emperor's life lived well; Cao Yi did not intervene in the battle to punish him, so he would not have been ruthless?
However, Cao Yi quickly remembered the experience of Emperor Hong Xi and the eldest brother of the current generation.Cao Yi fell into deep thought again, thinking about such a stingy thing, whether it was done by the emperor?
...The generals from all over the country who were ordered to go to have arrived one after another.The Peking Administrator also wrote a memorial and sent people south to find the emperor's brigade to deliver it.
When Zhu Gaoxu received the memorial, he had just entered the ground of the Peking Provincial Administration Office.The army of infantry and cavalry and various vehicles marched step by step and set up camps, walking very slowly, only walking dozens of miles a day.
The weather in the north is getting colder and winter is already coming.
The snow has not fallen this year, and dry and cold winds often blew.
The plants and trees along the way are withered, and the dull colors are dotted with some green leaves. Compared to the winter in the capital, this place is much more ancient.
However, Zhu Gaoxu is quite used to it. He spent a lot of time in Peking at the beginning.
In early November, people finally arrived outside the city of Peiping.There were no vassal kings in this big city at this time. The officials of the Three Divisions of Peking went out to greet the city. Among the people who were welcomed, there were border generals summoned by Zhu Gaoxu.
After the ceremony, the emperor's ceremonial guards and guards surrounded Zhu Gaoxu's carriage and entered the city gate.
According to the previous arrangement, Zhu Gaoxu did not move into the larger Prince Yàn's Mansion and the former place of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and went straight to the Prince Gaoyang County Mansion where he once lived.
However, the plaque of the Prince's Mansion is no longer there, because the name of Prince Gaoyang is no longer the people generally call it the Old Courtyard of Peking.
The specifications of the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are very different. Compared with the previous Gaoyang Prince's Mansion, it really seems like it is just a yard.
Zhu Gaoxu did not immediately summon the border generals to discuss matters, but only asked the eunuchs to pass the order to repair the matter for several days.After the welcome ceremony, everyone went back to the residence arranged by the capital department of Peking.
However, Zhu Gaoxu summoned the Urianha chicken alone that afternoon.
Zhu Gaoxu doesn’t know what Jier’s Mongolian name is now. I don’t know who took this Chinese name, it may be Emperor Taizong Zhu Di. Because Zhu Di also gave the eunuch a name for dogs or something.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw the chicken in the upper room in the front yard, he suddenly felt that the Urianha man seemed to be much older and his face was full of wrinkles.
I remember that when Jier was under Zhu Gaoxu's command and participated in the Jingnan Campaign, he seemed to be relatively young and strong.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that more than ten years have passed since the Jingnan Battle.
The general asked to get up and sit on the chair.Zhu Gaoxu came forward and helped him up in person.
The chicken bowed: Thank you for your kindness.He spoke Chinese with a strange accent, but it was easy to understand.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: The general followed me to fight in the north and south, but he never met again.I first went to the southwest border and Yunnan Prefecture, thousands of miles apart; later I succeeded to the throne in the capital, and thought of the general several times, but everything wasted, and it was only today that I finally met again.
After hearing this, the chicken had obvious wrinkles and dark faces seemed to be moved: I don’t want the emperor to think of the emperor as well.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: What is your situation now?
Ji'er said: It's still the same as before, with more than a thousand tents under his command, which belongs to Fuyuwei.However, when we were in the capital, Emperor Taizong gave a lot of rewards.
Zhu Gaoxu said directly: I should give you more rewards, and there will definitely be a chance in the future.
Jier raised her head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, was silent for a while, and finally said: Master, Fu Yuwei has difficulties.
Zhu Gaoxu changed his seating posture that seemed patient and said: If you have anything to say, just say it to me. He intuition could get some useful situations from General Ji'er's mouth this time.
It is right to meet this Urianha man alone today.
The Liaodong Dusi (near Liaoyang) has also received an order and subsequently ordered the military generals of the guards to set out south.
The commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander is Cao Yi. He has been working in the late Hongwu year to the present.
