The Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang broke through the pass and went south, losing all three cities. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty passed the blame on each other, and no one dared to fight.
The deputy general of the border army, Xiao Ce, led three thousand light cavalry to attack on a snowy night. He killed the enemy generals and regained the lost ground. The battle shocked the world.
The young emperor was promoted unexpectedly. He thought that he could finally marshal his army to defend the border with his military exploits, avenge his father's injustice, and pacify the people.
But he soon discovered that the one who really wanted his life was not the prairie cavalry, but the court.
The civil servants were afraid of him gaining military morale and fearing that he would hold military power. Fraud, food shortages, perjury, and impeachment followed one after another;
After being imprisoned, cut from his position, demoted, and reviled all over the city, Xiao Ce finally understood:
In this world, innocence cannot save the border.
As a result, he began to collect money, maintain a private treasury, practice mysterious armor, build secret fortresses, establish trade routes, and communicate with eunuchs, becoming the most traitorous border commander in the eyes of the world.
On the surface, he is greedy and domineering, and his merits and demerits are hard to judge;
Secretly, he poured every penny of "dirty money" into Northern Xinjiang's food, armor, forts, blood and lives.
When a snowstorm hit the country, hundreds of thousands of cavalry went south, and the court forced him to die, the people in the world only saw one powerful official who deserved to be killed.
Only a few people know——
This most filthy frontier commander in the world is the real Great Wall that protects the country of the Great Xia Dynasty.
