Chapter 120 Entering the game with your own body, Prince Yu
After Zhu Zaijing finished taking a bath, had breakfast, and chatted with Meng Chong for a while about the preparations for Green Tea No. 3, the afternoon time had quietly arrived. .
Zhu Zaijing, who had never left the palace, was still unaware of the urgent news about Datong's six hundred miles that was being circulated in the capital at this time, so he still had a leisurely day.
It was not until two days later, when Gao Gong came to the mansion to teach Zhu Zaijing that Zhu Zaijing learned what happened in Datong on June 25th.
All the soldiers died in battle!
Zhu Zaijing really couldn't imagine how horrific the intensity of this war must be.
You need to know the title of Commander-in-Chief, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a theater in later generations.
Although it was not considered a formal official position in the Ming Dynasty and was only regarded as a dispatch officer for specific affairs, in the Ming Dynasty the senior military attachés who could be appointed as the commander-in-chief were all from the left, Only the right governor (the first rank), the governor Tongzhi (the first rank), the governor Qianshi (the second rank), and nobles beyond rank such as dukes, marquises, and uncles can hold positions.
So to be able to achieve the title of General Soldier in the Ming Dynasty, one must be at least a second-grade official!
And such high-ranking military attachés all died in the battle. One can imagine how fierce and cruel the Battle of Datong was.
After Zhu Zaijing heard the news, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Time really went too fast.
June passed in the blink of an eye. If it weren’t for the leap June after the end of June, Zhu Zaijing would probably be even more anxious and angry at this moment.
"The two generals Zhang Da and Lin Chun were not afraid of fighting to the death and sacrificed their lives for the country. Their hearts and righteousness will be remembered forever! The king can enjoy a peaceful life in the capital, and it is also inseparable from their sacrifices. I wonder if His Majesty and the imperial court have given any posthumous gifts to support them."
Zhu Zaijing sighed and said with emotion.
Gao Gongdao: "His Majesty has given Zhang Da the title of Guanglu doctor in Zhuguo. The eldest son Shiying has been granted the title of commander; the second son and the three sons have all been assigned. Lin Chun has given the posthumous title of Zhongyong to the governor Tongzhi. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but say: "He is really a loyal man. I am a hero, and my sons will not forget life and death and continue to serve in the army. I really hope that there will be no more wars on the nine sides in the future, and the Ming Dynasty and the grassland can be peaceful." "
After Gao Gong heard Zhu Zaijing's sigh, he couldn't help but feel moved. He never expected that the young Zhu Zaijing was not blinded by hatred, and he was so angry at the grassland. The enemy shouted to fight and kill.
You must know that Zhu Zaijing is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is also at an impulsive age where it is easy to get passionate.
But after Zhu Zaijing heard the result of such a war, his first reaction was not to angrily shout for revenge, but to ask His Majesty and the court if there was any posthumous pension, and then sighed for peace.
Such benevolence and magnanimity are not expected of ordinary adults. Even an intellectual like Gao Gong may not have such kindness and kindness.
So at this time, Gao Gong couldn't help but bow to Zhu Zaijing with sincerity, "The prince has such a benevolent and righteous heart, it is really a blessing to the world."
Zhu Zaijing heard Gao Gong's words. After speaking, he showed a helpless smile and said, "Sir, it's better not to say such things. I have no benevolence and righteousness, and I have no ability to make the world happy. I just have a little empathy, that's all." Benevolence and righteousness.”
The reason why Zhu Zaijing said this is not too complicated.
The main reason is that Zhu Zaijing is a time traveler. His attitude towards the grassland is not as black and white as people of this era, and he does not regard the grassland as a feuding enemy.
In Zhu Zaijing's eyes, whether they are the Han people living under the rule of the Ming Dynasty or the grassland people living under the rule of today's Anda and other tribes, they are actually one family. It's just that historical development has led to constant conflicts and vendettas between the two sides.
If the misunderstanding can be solved in the future and the grassland can return to the embrace of the Central Dynasty, then all these grievances and vendettas will naturally be eliminated invisible.
It is a pity that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is already very difficult to defend the nine sides. It is still unrealistic to want to absorb the huge grassland into its own system.
But everything depends on people.
Just because you can’t do it now doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future.
Moreover, the people on the grassland are even more scattered. Now Anda is the only one with strong strength and can be regarded as the co-owner of the grassland.
But this does not mean that all the grassland tribes will be truly convinced by An Da. As long as they can seize the opportunity to provoke and provoke waves, they will slowly be able to disperse the grassland forces again. Already?
As long as their power can be broken up, and then the powerful national power of the Ming Dynasty and the assimilation ability of the Central Plains culture can be used to save all living beings on the grassland, the Ming Dynasty and the grassland can be perfectly integrated into a whole!
So, whether in reality or in the future, there is still great hope to resolve the grassland problem.
The worst case scenario then is to sacrifice Zhu Zaijing's waist, let him join the game personally, and marry more princesses from powerful prairie tribes, and then spend some time to get the children born to these prairie princesses. Named various khan kings on the grassland.
Then we will supplement the governance with Han bureaucrats, and at the same time absorb some "ambitious young people" from the grasslands into the court as officials, specifically responsible for ethnic affairs in various regions. If things go on like this, won't the problems slowly be digested?
In this way, Zhu Zaijing can be regarded as having immeasurable merit.
So Zhu Zaijing must exercise well now so that he can contribute to the country in the future.
We can't be like Emperor Longqing in history, who fired a lot of cannons, but they were all dumb cannons. After finally going off, they turned out to be "cheap".
“Who is the court planning to arrange to clean up the mess in Datong now?”
Zhu Zaijing asked this important question again.
Gao Gongdao: "There are two factions in the court now. One faction wants to activate the former Governor of Xuanda, Minister of War Weng Wanda, and the other faction supports Qiu Luan, the Marquis of Xianning."
Zhu Zaijing Hearing the name Weng Wanda, I couldn't help but be a little curious, "Who is Weng Wanda?"
Gao Gongdao: "Weng Shangshu was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jiajing. He served successively as the chief envoy, governor of Shaanxi, and Xuan. He was the Grand Governor, Minister of War and other positions. He participated in handling the Annan turmoil. Later, he took charge of the northern border defense and fought against the invasion of Mongolian Ada Khan. During the five or six years of unifying the border, he made many military exploits and built more than 800 miles of the Great Wall between Xuanfu and Datong. More than 300 people, he is an outstanding general."
"Last year, Weng Shangshu's father passed away, so he went south to mourn for three years. The next time An Da invaded Datong, he seized the opportunity of Weng Shangshu Ding You's return to his hometown and raised troops to attack the territory. Now Datong fell, the general Zhang Da and Lin Chun died in the battle, and both the government and the public were shocked. "
"So one faction recommended Weng Shangshu again, hoping that Your Majesty could issue an edict to seize the favor, restore Weng Shangshu as commander, and re-organize the army to declare great power to drive away the Tatars."
This is what Zhu Zaijing heard. The fierce man couldn't help but nodded and said, "It turns out that there is such a good commander. If the court can really appoint Weng Shangshu, it may really be able to solve the current urgent needs."
But whether it is Emperor Jiajing or himself, Even Zhu Zaijing, a time traveler, didn't know that Weng Wanda, who was now far away in Lingnan, was suffering from back gangrene and was almost incapacitated, so he couldn't come to Beijing to work.
