Outside Shenglong Mansion, Li Nianjun came to see Jiang Xia with Li Zhengba and Pei Xianlin.

To be honest, it was a very strange feeling to Jiang Xia when he saw a son who was eight years old for some reason.

Of course, the blood relationship between the two father and son is real. No matter what, Li Nianjun is both Jiang Xia’s son.

Li Nianjun had no resistance to Jiang Xia at all, and shouted very smoothly: "Father, when will I come back to Annan when I go?"

"Return to Annan?" Jiang Xia thought for a while, and the word "return" made him hesitate. After a while of silence, Jiang Xia said: "Don't worry, as long as I handle the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely return to Annan to ask you to take care of me for my old age."

Li Nianjun smiled slightly and said, "It is only the best for a child to support his father in his old age."

Jiang Xia said with a smile and rubbed Li Nianjun's little head, saying, "Okay, it's getting late, we have to hurry up, so I won't say more."

Li Nianjun nodded, then walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Li Ruliu in the carriage and said, "Don't worry, my mother, my father will definitely cure you. The child is waiting for my mother to come back as soon as possible in Shenglong Mansion."

Li Ruliu smiled and nodded to Li Nianjun.

Xiao Sha was responsible for driving the carriage, and Hai Dayou rode a horse alone. Jiang Xia and the others set off on the road and rushed towards the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the period without Jiangxia was also changing and changing.

Originally, Yang Tinghe was seizing the opportunity of Jiang Xia's absence and arranged some things in great detail. For example, the original one hundred franchisees, Yang Tinghe, under various excuses, removed more than 40. Then he installed more than 100 franchisees, all of which were his own people.

Fortunately, Wei Jingjing was in control of this matter. Wei Jingjing asked the more than 40 franchisees who were inexplicably removed to wait for the time being. After Jiang Xia came back, he would receive an explanation and reply.

Furthermore, Jiangnan Salt Industry, Yang Tinghe also used the same method to remove some of the salt industry franchises and join a large number of his own people.

In short, while Jiang Xia was away, Yang Tinghe was almost blatantly catching land. The techniques he used were so simple, rough and straightforward that he basically didn't even cover up at all.

This made the direct troops of the Jiang clan very dissatisfied. But at the same time, some Jiang clans felt that Yang Tinghe seemed to be more powerful than Jiang Xia, and these clans turned to Yang Tinghe's disciples one after another.

The Jiang faction power represented by Jiangxia has shrunk significantly, and it is entirely supported by Yang Ting and his own.

However, there are good and bad things. After all, after removing those fence-bearing grass, the Jiang clan people became more pure and more cohesive.

After Jiang Xia entered the border of the Ming Dynasty, although he had been rushing to the capital, the disciples of Thousand Gates delivered news to him about everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty along the way.

Jiang Xia was not surprised to see the small actions Yang Tinghe did during the days when he left. Basically, when he left, he had guessed that Yang Tinghe would do this. He even felt that what Yang Tinghe did was not as bold as he imagined, and his real method was much more implicit.

In contrast, Jiang Xia was more concerned about the war situation in the northwest border.

According to the news sent by the disciples of Thousand Gates, the northwest border was very peaceful, and there was basically no major battle after the 100,000 troops of the court arrived in Suzhou.

Without war, this should have been good news, but in Jiang Xia's opinion, this is probably very bad news.

Without war, it proves that Yan Song did not send anyone to support the Tumot tribe.

Turpan has the support of Oirat behind the scenes. If the Tumot tribe had no foreign aid, it would not have been a match for Turpan. If Turpan really easily captured the Tumot tribe, I am afraid that the northwest border would be truly in danger.

Jiang Xia now only hopes that when Turpan launches an attack on the northwest border, Yan Song will continue to implement his self-protection style and not foolishly fight against the Turpan army.

If the 100,000 troops in the capital suffered great losses, then the Ming Dynasty might really have a huge crisis.

Maybe I'm afraid of anything I'm going to do.

At the end of June, Jiang Xia was still on the way, and Yang Tinghe continued to replace officials from the six ministries and planted his own people in the six ministries. In the Yili area, the Tumote tribe and the Turpan tribe finally negotiated peace.

The Tumot tribe could not resist the strong attack from Turpan and announced that the Tumot tribe would be incorporated into the Turpan tribe.

The army of Turpan and Oirat immediately began to assemble, and the entire northwest defense line could almost be selected by Turpan and Oirat to start the attack.

Yan Song, who came to Suzhou, initially acted as if he was ready to fight and was careful to guard against the enemy's attack.

But this attitude lasted for less than ten days, and then he did not care about the 100,000 troops stationed outside the city.

Yan Song spent all day in the city, enjoying the various singers that Liu Xiangfeng kept sending him. Occasionally, when he was in good spirits, he would invite Liu Xiangfeng, Luo Cheng and Hou Zhang to recite poems together on the moonlit night, and exchanged and played with the dancers and singers.

The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Yan Song is free and happy in the city. Naturally, the soldiers stationed outside the city cannot stay stupidly outside the city.

At first, they were still a normal consumer group, drinking, casinos, prostitution, and eating meat in the city with the few military pay.

Then soon, they ran out of silver.

I couldn't stand the loneliness and no one came to manage it. The soldiers began to rob and plunder the city. I don't know how many girls in Suzhou were ruined by these soldiers.

In the end, Liu Xiangfeng couldn't stand the pressure and reported the matter to Yan Song.

After thinking about it, Yan Song ordered the army to retreat and evacuate to a place ten miles away from Suzhou City.

This is a big deal. The soldiers from the Beijing camp originally went out of the military camp to plunder and loot. Although the generals would not strictly control them, they would say a few words.

Now Yan Song directly asked them to retreat ten miles, but he himself hid in the city and was happy. Now even the generals were angry, either leading people to set up checkpoints on the road, learning to be bandits and looking for people passing by to buy money from the road.

Or they just disguised themselves as bandits and rode war horses around Suzhou, causing the people around Suzhou to suffer.

At this moment, Liu Xiangfeng asked Yan Song for help again. Yan Song issued an order to summon the generals into the city and prepare to scold them severely. However, the generals ignored Yan Song at all. They either made excuses that they were not suitable for walking, or they temporarily left the military camp to investigate the enemy situation.

Seeing that the 100,000 army was about to lose control, Yan Song was a little anxious. He knew that he could not delay any further and had to bring the 100,000 army back to the capital soon.

Otherwise, the 100,000 army would taste the sweetness, and eventually mutiny, and would directly enter Suzhou City and have a mutiny.

For this reason, Yan Song immediately wrote a letter to send someone to the capital, saying that the war in the northwest border had been settled, and the army requested the troops to return to the court.

But just halfway through the letter, the commander of Suzhou Guard Luo Cheng followed Liu Xiangfeng to find Yan Song. When Liu Xiangfeng saw Yan Song, he said in panic: "The big thing is bad, and the big thing is bad. The Turpan army is invading, and now the border defense line is retreating step by step. The Turpan army is almost at the foot of Jiayuguan. General Hou Zhang is in an emergency and asks the adults to send troops to support him."

"The Turpan army is invading?" Yan Song felt like the world was shaking. Where did he go to find the army now? All 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp were almost turned into bandits.

But Yan Song had to give it a try anyway. He finally left Suzhou City in person and took his confidants to the place where 100,000 soldiers and horses camped in the Jing camp ten miles outside Suzhou City.

Yan Song ordered people to beat the drum of promotion to summon all the generals.

According to the rules, when the drum of promotion was ringing, all the generals must gather outside the commander's tent. However, Yan Song had always lived in the city, and there was no commander's tent in the camp at all. Therefore, after the three-way drum beat, the generals only came less than one-third, and they did not come at all.

After waiting for about two hours, the generals finally arrived almost.

The ten commanders in the leadership watched Yan Song, and one of them smiled and said, "Oh, who is this lord? He looks familiar, but he just can't remember who his surname is."

"That's right, it looks familiar, it seems like Lao Yan, who was drunk in Cuihualou yesterday, who was 'yellow dog peeing fist'?"

Yan Song had a blue face and suppressed his anger. He took out the military talisman from his arms and raised it over his head, shouting loudly: "The military talisman of the Ministry of War is here, and the soldiers obey the order!"

"The military talisman? It looks real, but who knows whether it is true or not?" a commander said with a joke-wondering smile.

Yan Song looked at him with a sharp look and said coldly: "Now that the Turpan army is invading, Jiayuguan is in a hurry. It doesn't matter how you make trouble, but you must remember that you are all generals of the Ming Dynasty, and their families are from the Ministry of War. If the border is lost this time, the court will blame you.

If you don’t fight, the crime of not fighting will definitely cause harm to the nine clans. Do you still want to sarcastically mock me here and ignore me for the time being? Should you go to help Jiayuguan now? I will wait for you to do it!"

It has to be said that although Yan Song’s trick is not very clever, it is practical.

Most of these generals in the Beijing camp and their families were in the capital.

It's okay to make trouble occasionally, but if they really retreat without fighting and refuse to obey orders, they really dare not.

But even if they go to help, it doesn't mean they are convinced by Yan Song.

One of the deputy commanders pointed at Yan Song and said, "I'm stationed outside this city to sleep in the open, but you are hiding in the city to spend time and drink. Now something happens, I think of us? Why have you been going to help Jiayuguan now not for you, but for the Ming Dynasty. You villain, you are not worthy of commanding us at all."

"Yes, villain!" "Dog official"
