I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 155 Lin Dan Khan (please subscribe)
Xiong Tingbi was afraid that Hupiyi's reinforcements would be defeated by Jianlu and Liaoyang would be lost, so he traveled through the stars and nights and finally arrived in Shenyang the next day.As a result, he heard some unexpected news on the way.

Chen Ce led his army to a great victory over Jianlu in the field battle, and Jianlu suffered more than [-] casualties.Xiong Tingbi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately speeded up and arrived in Shenyang smoothly.

At this time, Yang Lian, He Shixian, Chen Ce and others were already waiting by the Hunhe River Bridge.

In order to prevent Jianlu's sneak attack, He Shixian and others sent rangers to the vicinity of Jianlu's camp early in the morning. Unexpectedly, they found that Jianlu's camp had been deserted for a long time, and it looked like it was about to be withdrawn.

"Why are they running so fast? There are many of them and there are wounded among them. They must be marching slowly. Do we want to chase them?"

He Shixian thought about waiting for Xiong Tingbi to arrive before the decisive battle. Unexpectedly, Nurhaci did not want to fight in order to preserve his strength and ran away before dawn.

Chen Ce shook his head after hearing this. In yesterday's battle, he suffered heavy casualties. The chieftain soldiers suffered more than [-] casualties, the Zhejiang camp suffered more than [-] casualties, and the Sichuan army suffered even more serious casualties.Coupled with traveling all night and fighting during the day, the soldiers could no longer bear it.

"Nurhachi has been fighting for many years. He will surely expect us to send troops to pursue him. I think he will set up an ambush on the road. I think the soldiers are tired from fighting for days. It is better not to pursue them, or to wait until Governor Xiong arrives before making a decision."

Yang Lian nodded when he heard this. He still understood the principle of not chasing after poor criminals.

He Shixian on the side saw the two of them insisting and just wanted to fight for it again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and wait until Governor Xiong arrived.

Just after this incident, someone came to report that Governor Xiong and his army were about to arrive, and everyone mounted their horses and set off to welcome him.

After a while, he saw a seven-foot-long, burly and powerful general wearing bright armor riding a horse, escorted by a group of people.

Xiong Tingbi was good at both civil and military affairs. Not only was he a Jinshi at the age of 29, he even got No. 1 in the Huguang Martial Arts Examination. This was an important reason why the generals admired him.

"Hahaha, Chen Ce, you have done me a favor. For such a great victory, I will go to the court to ask for credit for you."

Before anyone could speak, Xiong Tingbi's voice came first from a distance. Xiong Tingbi also reined in his horse and stopped in front of everyone to dismount.

"See Governor!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy, you are all heroes of the imperial court and the people of Liaodong. This battle has severely damaged the old slave's vitality. I don't expect him to dare to attack again in a short time."

As Xiong Tingbi said this, he personally went over to help Chen Ce and others up.At the same time, he praised Qin Bangping, Ma Xianglin, Qi Jin and others behind Chen Ce.

"I said that the chieftain soldiers have strict military discipline, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and their combat power is the best among all other armies. Now it seems that it is true. There are also Qi Jin and Zhang Mingshi. I never expected that the Zhejiang camp would be so resistant to fighting. It was really true before It was a mistake."

When Qin Bangping and others saw Governor Xiong's praise, they all smiled happily. They all bowed and said that it was the Governor who gave the award, etc. It was a happy scene.

"My Lord Governor, please stop praising me. There is still a matter waiting for you to decide."

Yang Lian quickly stopped Xiong Tingbi and reported to Xiong Tingbi that Jian Nu had escaped overnight to see if he should pursue him now.

"The old slave is also smart. He walked so fast. He was really advantaged, He Shixian!"

"The end is here!"

"The old slave shouldn't be far away. You can lead a thousand elite cavalry to chase them. Follow them, but don't blindly engage the enemy. Just harass them."

Xiong Tingbi also felt that now was not the time to fight. The elite of the Ming army was Hupiyi's army. Now that they were tired and exhausted, it was better to give up when they were ready and just send light cavalry to harass them.

He Shixian also wanted to pursue him to see if he could get some more credit. When he saw that his leader had given him a chance to perform, he was overjoyed. He immediately resigned and led his army to pursue Jianlu.

Seeing that the major incident was over and Jian Nu had withdrawn, Xiong Tingbi felt relaxed and followed Yang Lian and others into the city to discuss matters.

Xiong Tingbi looked at the defense situation of Shenyang City and couldn't help but sigh to Yang Lian who was standing beside him.

"This period has been really hard on you, Wen Ru (Yang Lian's word). When I received the report of Jianlu's sneak attack on Shenyang, I was really frightened. I was afraid that something would happen to you, and I didn't even know it. How should I explain to His Majesty?"

Yang Lian laughed when he heard this.

"Whatever happens, the worst I can do is fight to the death in the city to repay your kindness. But now that our army has defeated Jiannu, my mission is over. After these few days of rest, I will return to Liaoyang with you, and then follow the instructions According to His Majesty's instructions, we will return to Beijing via Liaonan and Denglai."

Unexpectedly, Xiong Tingbi burst out laughing when he said this.

"Brother Wenru, I'm afraid this matter is not up to you. The imperial court's appointment has been made. His Majesty has asked you to concurrently serve as the governor of Liaodong, specifically in charge of the civil affairs of Liaodong, money and food. I'm afraid I will have to wrong you, and I will continue to work with me, Old Xiong."

"Oh, when did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

Yang Lian was also surprised. The emperor really trusted him. He only promoted himself to the position of Zuo Deputy Capital Censor in October, and now he also made himself governor of Liaodong.Although there is a precedent in this dynasty for the censor to concurrently serve as governor of Liaodong, it is rare for him to be continuously promoted by the emperor within these three months.

"I arrived before New Year's Eve, so you didn't know. His Majesty really loves you so much that even the old bear can't help but be jealous."

Xiong Tingbi was naturally applauded that Yang Lian could stay.After all, with his fiery temper, he could not deal with many people in the court. He was busy debating with court officials all day long, which was exhausting his energy and energy and annoyed him to death.

Now that he has a down-to-earth civilian official who can cooperate with him, it will not only reduce the court's impeachment of him, but also allow him to work with more peace of mind.

Although the status of capital officials in the Ming Dynasty was much higher than that of local officials, Yang Lian also understood the importance of meritorious service after working in Liaodong during this period, and had no resistance to this position.

"The Emperor's kindness is so great that I can only continue to make achievements to repay His Majesty's kindness."

As they talked, the group arrived at the meeting hall in Shenyang. Yang Lian told Xiong Tingbi the details of the battle in front of everyone, and took out the draft of the memorial and submitted it to Xiong Tingbi for review.

After reading it, Xiong Tingbi felt that it was very detailed and not nonsense, so he signed it immediately and asked the messenger to quickly report the victory to the court.

Accompanied by the message delivered by messengers and the propaganda of the surrounding Mongols who were concerned about the war.News of the Hunhe victory spread quickly, causing a strong chemical reaction in the surrounding area.

Chahanhot was the residence of Mongolian Lindan Khan and was called Baicheng in the Ming Dynasty.

This city is located on the natural passage from the Mongolian Plateau to the Songliao Plain. Because he received initiation at the age of 26 and governed the country with Buddhist principles, a very gorgeous Golden-domed White Temple was built in the city.

As the administrative center, cultural center and religious center of the Mongolian Khanate, this city is also crowded with people. Many Han people fled from the mainland to farm and do business here to make a living. There are also many red-robed lamas chanting in temples. through.

In the Great Sutra Hall of the Golden Summit White Temple, Lin Dan Khan is still presiding over Salpa to chant sutras together. This is his daily compulsory homework. Mongolia originally believed in the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, but Lin Dan Khan was a monk of the Sakya sect in Tibet. Under Sherpa's persuasion, he converted from the Yellow Sect (Gelug Sect) to the Red Sect (Sakya Sect).

At this time, after decades of spread in Mongolia, the Yellow Sect had become deeply rooted. Lin Dan Khan's sudden conversion made the Mongolian tribes extremely dissatisfied with Lin Dan Khan, especially Horqin and Nei Khalkha in the northeast.

The door of the Sutra Hall suddenly opened, and Leng Hongtaiji, the minister in charge of [-] households in the left wing of Mongolia, led a group of people and hurried in from outside the hall.

"Supreme Hutuktu, news came from the east. Nurhachi of the Jin Kingdom was defeated at the Shenyang City of the Ming Dynasty. The corpses of the Jin Kingdom were everywhere on the battlefield. Nurhachi lost more than 2 people. Now he has fled back to Sarhu in panic. City."

Lin Danhan, who was originally angry at being interrupted from reciting sutras, immediately became interested when he heard the news, and kept stroking the rosary beads in his hand.

Although he has always looked down on Nurhachi, it is undeniable that Nurhaci brought him a lot of trouble, especially the Horqin tribe located in the northeast, which continued to marry Nurhachi and gradually disobeyed him.

There is also the Nekalkha tribe. Under Nurhaci's attack, the most powerful Zasai Taiji in Nekalkha was also captured by Nurhaci, so Nekalkha was forced to revise the alliance with him.

In the past, he had no time to take care of the east, but now that Nurhachi suffered a major defeat, it seemed that he had an opportunity to attack the east.

Lenghong Taiji also had this idea. In the past few years, the Khalkha tribe had been begging him to send troops to rescue Zasai Taiji, but Lin Dan Khan had been undecided.And isn't this a God-given opportunity?

"Great Khan, last year Nurhaci killed our Mongolian envoy Kangkar Baihu. This was a great shame and humiliation. Now that the Jin Kingdom has suffered another defeat, the Inner Kalka tribe is also ready to move and want to ask the Great Khan to send troops to increase its momentum.

In my opinion, this is a God-given opportunity. As long as we can get Zaisa back, the Inner Khalkha tribe can return to their homeland again. Then it will be easy to jointly deal with Horqin! "

These words also made Lin Danhan nod his head in agreement. After all, he also received the Ming Dynasty's annual silver reward of 4 taels, and he had not done much work. Now he has such a God-given opportunity to show his work to the Ming Dynasty. Living would also bring Nekalka back to his heart, so why wouldn't he do it.

"Buddha gave me this God-given opportunity, so I must seize it. When the ice and snow melt next month, you can lead five thousand cavalrymen including Nekarkha Choliktu, Darhan Batur, and Baha Darhan to Shenyang. To rescue Zasai who is still in custody, we must not let Nurhachi look down upon us."

"Follow the orders of the Great Khan!"

Lenghong Taiji was overjoyed when he heard this, and now he could finally calm the complaints of Inner Khalkha.

"Then go down and give your instructions. Master Salpa and I will discuss the matter after we finish reciting the sutra."

Leng Hongtaiji glanced at Salpa, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. He believed in the Yellow Sect (Gelug Sect), so naturally he was very hostile to the monks of the Red Sect (Sakya Sect), but Lin Danhan insisted on doing so. , he could only hide his dissatisfaction.

Not only Mongolia, but also Horqin, North Korea and other places also caused waves because of this matter.

Of course, the one who had the biggest reaction was Zhu Youxiao. At this time, he had not received news of the victory and was still urgently discussing the war with the cabinet.
