Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 202 Yuan Bin’s self-doubt

Yuan Bin said that during the battle at Tumubao, he fell into the trap of civil servants, so Lin Cunde frowned and looked at Yuan Bin.

"In the battle of Tumubao, all our Ming infantry were killed. After the Ming cavalry learned the news, they rushed to Tumubao. The route was known to Wala in advance. The cavalry was robbed halfway, and the heavy cavalry attacked our Ming cavalry, causing heavy losses. This One battle lasted for one day.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the infantry around His Majesty were killed, the formation was all in chaos, and the dragons were leaderless. Wala used heavy cavalry to attack, and the army was defeated like a mountain!

Your Majesty knew that he had fallen into a trap the moment Oala's cavalry attacked Tumubao. It was not Oala's treacherous plan, but the civil servants' treacherous plan!

Your Majesty is not a man who enjoys great achievements, nor is he a person who knows nothing about military affairs. If you don’t believe it, you can ask around. His Majesty has launched wars against Oara before, and he always won! This time, His Majesty's personal expedition is to completely wipe out the Wara and eliminate the Wara's harassment of our border with the Ming Dynasty!

However, those civil servants knew that His Majesty valued military power over literature, and His Majesty used Wang Zhen to severely suppress the arrogance of the civil servants, and began to control the cabinet, the six ministers, and the staff! Civil servants felt the crisis, so there was a battle at Tumubao! "Yuan Bin sat there and said lightly.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled and said: "You should change your name to the Supreme Emperor? Besides, this is also your one-sided statement. If the Supreme Emperor is really so smart and wise, how could such a thing happen? How many people died in this war? among?

Do you know that after my father died, my brother was drafted to defend the city of Beijing and died in battle under the city walls? My mother was so angry that she gave up within a few days! The Shitou Hutong where I lived back then was a whole hutong with more than a hundred households, and every household had white couplets posted on them.

Among them was a family with four sons. None of them survived, leaving only two old men and more than ten children. The oldest is eleven years old.

He is smart, he is wise! The battle of Tumubao brought much pain to the people of the capital.

In addition, you said that he used Wang Zhen to suppress civil servants.

But is Wang Zhen really suppressing civil servants? There were endless corruption methods. His home was searched and more than 300,000 taels of cash and 200,000 shi of food were confiscated. There are eleven mansions, more than 70 shops in various places, and more than 80,000 acres of fertile land!

Wang Zhen's subordinates are full of corruption.

You say he is smart, I believe him, but is he really smart? If he is really smart and learns of the victory in Hequ, he should commit suicide and apologize to the world, so that His Majesty will have the opportunity to bloodbath the entire grassland. I say bloodbath, not to defeat Wala, but to make the grassland uninhabited.

As long as there are still people on the grassland, it won't be long before they become a border threat to the Ming Dynasty again.

If His Majesty died in Wala, it would be normal for the Ming Dynasty to take any measures against Wala, and civil servants would not dare to object.

But why would he get involved? Who is he trying to deceive? He can’t even deceive me. Do you think he can deceive the court ministers?

Why should he get involved? Even if he doesn't want to die, he can just wait for Daming to pick him up!

Ling Ran speaks so righteously, is he such a person who understands righteousness so well?

I dare say that the Supreme Emperor Dinghe has also been alone together first, just the two of them, no one around them! "

After Lin Cunde finished speaking, he stared at Yuan Bin closely.

Yuan Bin's expression changed when he heard Lin Cunde's last words. He also thought of what happened before the Supreme Emperor came to talk to him alone.

Lin Cunde looked at his expression and sneered: "Am I right?"

"I asked you to come back just to deliver this news to His Majesty. What do you mean? Drive away the wolves and eat up the tigers, and consume our elite troops in the north of the Ming Dynasty. This way, the Supreme Emperor will have a chance!" Lin Cunde looked at Yuan Bin with a sneer and asked.

"Impossible, Your Majesty can't do such a thing!" Yuan Bin stood up excitedly and shouted to Lin Cunde.

"Whether it's possible, let's wait and see! You are a loyal person, I admire you, your family, don't worry, I will take good care of you, I will try my best to protect you, but His Majesty insists on killing you, I can't stop you ! It's just that the Supreme Emperor is not as good as you think!" Lin Cunde stood up at this moment.

Lin Cunde doesn't need to ask about other things. Yuan Bin's expression changed just now, which proved his guess. He, the Ming God of War, is not giving up yet!

Yuan Bin just stared at Lin Cunde.

"They will bring food to you later. If you want to survive, write down what you know and give it to the people here. They will present it to His Majesty!" Lin Cunde glanced at Yuan Bin and reminded him.

Yuan Bin was dull at the moment.

Lin Cunde walked away with his hands behind his back, and said to a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi who were waiting behind him: "Send paper and pen in, and what he writes will be sent to His Majesty as soon as possible. If I know someone If you dare to hide it, you will die!"

"Don't dare!" The hundred households immediately said with their hands raised to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde left with his hands behind his back. After exiting the Fusi Gate of Beizhen, Lin Cunde turned to look at the gate, then got on his horse.

Lin Cunli also got on his horse.

"Fourth brother, go to Yuan Bin's house and send 200 taels of silver! If Yuan Bin can come out, there will be no need to send it in the future. If Yuan Bin doesn't come out, send 200 taels of silver there every year!" Lin Cunde said to Lin Cunli.

"Okay, just?" Lin Cunli nodded. Two hundred taels of silver was nothing to Lin Cunde.

"I owe their family, he was the one who buried my father!" Lin Cunde said, clasping his legs and moving the horse forward.

"Ah, okay!" Lin Cunli nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Fourth brother, go back and ask your fourth sister-in-law to pack your things. You go and do this. Once it's done, we're going to go on an expedition!" Lin Cunde said to Lin Cunli.

"What? Okay!" Lin Cunli was even more shocked when he heard that he was going to war. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would go to war again!

When he returned home, Lin Cunde told Qiu Shuang to pack his things, including winter clothes.

Then he took the guards to Wang Ying's mansion. When it comes to fighting, there are still many things that need to be arranged in advance.

After all, war is risky. If you can come back, it won't matter. If you can't come back, then your money and title must be settled in advance to avoid causing trouble.

Lin Cunde arrived at the door of Wang Ying's mansion. As soon as he got off his horse, the people in Wang Ying's mansion opened the door without any notification.

Lin Cunde walked quickly inside, and at the same time asked the concierge who was leading the way, "Is Shibo here?"

"Here!" the concierge said immediately.

The servants in Wang Ying's house all know that the master likes his future second son-in-law the most, and so does the madam!

Wang Ying was drinking tea in the study. She learned that Lin Cunde was coming from the concierge who came to report in advance. She immediately came out of the study and went to the door of the living room, where she saw Lin Cunde approaching.

"My nephew has met Shibo!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Ying, cupping his hands.

"Come in quickly, I was thinking that you would definitely come over today, so I didn't go anywhere. I always felt like something was going to happen! Nephew, let's go!" Wang Ying said, holding Lin Cunde's hand.

"Well, something happened. Let the person in charge wait at the door of the study!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Ying. "

"Yes!" Wang Ying nodded, then pointed to a steward and said: "Wait at the door, no one is allowed in. Besides, I won't see anyone this morning!"

"Yes, sir!" the steward immediately said with his hands.

Wang Ying led Lin Cunde to the study and closed the door herself.

Then he went to the tea table and poured tea for Lin Cunde.

"Shibo, I will go on an expedition tonight. Your Majesty is currently discussing with the Ministry of War. Tonight, I will lead the cavalry and 20,000 infantry from the fifth military camp. The remaining 30,000 infantry and Shenji camp, and the 3,000 battalion will each have 5,000 infantrymen." People will also set off tomorrow morning!

I won’t do the expedition ceremony for fear of wasting time! Lin Cunde sat down and said to Wang Ying.

"Are you going? Who else?" Wang Ying's hand in pouring tea stopped. He didn't want Lin Cunde to take risks. In Wang Ying's heart, Lin Cunde should be in the capital to advise Zhu Qiyu.

"Shi Heng and Xu Xianyong, they are assisting me in commanding. My father-in-law, let's not talk about this now. I am going to go on an expedition. Then you, the fifth army battalion and the other troops of the third battalion of the capital, must exercise restraint and don't drink during this time. This time, things may not be simple!

No matter who wants to mobilize the third battalion of the capital and send you away, don't agree, you are in the capital! Be sure to remember! Lin Cunde sat there and warned Wang Ying.

"Okay, I know, is it just you?" Wang Ying still looked at Lin Cunde a little worried.

Lin Cunde had never commanded a battle, but Wang Ying also knew that Zhu Qiyu had no one to use. However, if he really wanted to command, Xu Xianyong, Shi Heng, or Zhang Xi could do it. Wang Ying didn't know why Zhu Qiyu didn't use them.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to use them, so he didn't dare to use them.

This time Zhu Qizhen wants to return to the throne. If he fights well in this battle, peace will last forever. If he doesn't fight well, Zhu Qiyu will be in danger.

How could Zhu Qiyu dare to bet?

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, all you need to do is hold on.

The key lies in Nanjing. Only when Wei Guogong is willing to send his family to Nanjing can Zhu Qiyu dare to let Wei Guogong guard Nanjing. Otherwise, Wang Ying will be transferred to Nanjing.

But Wang Ying went to Nanjing and Lin Cunde went to Shanhaiguan. What should the capital do?

It's not that those generals can't be trusted, it's that Zhu Qiyu can't believe it now.

"Shibo, don't worry about me. Shibo, I have a few things to ask of Shibo. If I, if I can't come back, share the money in my family with my cousins, and my share will be given to Your Majesty. , let my cousin take over my earldom!" Lin Cunde sat there and watched Wang Ying continue to explain.

"This, this, this can't work, nephew, you have to find a way to come back! Don't take any risks!" Wang Ying was dumbfounded, but she could understand.

"Shibo, you also went out to fight, there are some things you can't say!" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying and said with a bitter smile.

"Hey!" Wang Ying sighed deeply when she heard what Wang Ying said.

"Remember, Shibo, I can only trust you! The title is for my eldest cousin to take the title. Originally, my second cousin was the best, but there is an order of seniority. In addition, my eldest cousin is loyal and my sister-in-law is also generous. , if he seizes the title, the other brothers will be fine.

And my second cousin is also sensible and knows the affairs of the capital, but my second sister-in-law is not generous enough. I am worried that my second cousin will be affected by this and not take care of other brothers! Lin Cunde said his reasons to Wang Ying with a wry smile.
