I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 409 I want to impeach Mr. Huo for being confused!
In the source area of ​​the Qingchen River (Wuleji River), endless tents were lined up along the river bank, and cavalrymen galloped in and out from time to time.

In the distance, herdsmen rode their horses in twos and threes, driving cattle and sheep to eat the most abundant grass of the year on the grassland. From time to time, the herdsmen turned their heads and looked at the tents curiously. Some even sat up straight, put their right hands on their foreheads, and looked carefully.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and they turned their heads in fright. Some of them even pretended to crack their whips and made hoarse sounds with their mouths.

This is the camp of the Ming army's left wing.

In the largest tent, Li Chengliang was discussing matters with several deputy generals and lieutenant generals.

"To our north is the Wuliangha tribe, and to our southwest is the Khalkha tribe. The Wuliangha tribe is the source of the three Doyan tribes. In the middle of the former Yuan Dynasty, part of the Wuliangha tribe went south to the Tar River, Xiliao River, Huang River, and Tu River. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, they surrendered to Emperor Taizu and were divided into three guards: Doyan, Taining, and Fuyu.

The Uriankhai and Khalkha tribes had many tribes and were independent of Tumen Khan and Altan Khan. However, they were closer to the Chahar tribe and sometimes obeyed the orders of Tumen Khan.

After more than 20 days of suppression, we killed 2,700 Tumen Khan's lackeys who were resisting stubbornly, and surrendered 31 tribes of the Uriankhai and Eastern Khalkha, with 21,000 people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

We are registering them, and the military mapping team is also mapping them. We will have to wait until we get back to report to Governor Tan before we decide on how to deal with them later."

Li Chengliang said something and pointed his finger at the generals and made a circle.

"Military discipline, I reiterate military discipline! We are now the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty, not the beggar soldiers who are short of food. The court has provided us with sufficient food and wages. After this expedition, we will definitely be rewarded when we return.

If you dare to continue to rob and rape as before, the Military Department will enforce military law!

Don't think that the sky is high and the earth is far away, and no one can see the dirty things you do! Don't forget that there are secret agents from the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Horse Administration in the army. If the dirty things you do are reported to the capital and the Crown Prince asks me for punishment, I will chop off all the guys who feed you first!"

Seeing that Li Chengliang was really angry, the generals spoke up one after another.

"General Li, my soldiers are from the Beijing camp, and they were all trained by General Qi. They are stricter in military discipline than I am, so you can rest assured."

"Master, my soldiers are all old friends from Liaodong. They may be a little dishonest on weekdays, but at this critical moment, Master, you have repeatedly issued strict orders, and they don't have the guts to do it."

"General Li, my soldiers were all transferred from the northwest. They are all a bunch of poor people who have never seen good things. I have issued strict orders again and again. After killing a few people, they have restrained themselves and will definitely not dare to do it again."

Li Chengliang sneered a few times.

Although he was not convinced by Qi Jiguang, he knew that he was really good at training soldiers, well-trained and with strict military discipline. All the soldiers in the Beijing camp were trained by Qi Jiguang, so he was really relieved.

The rest is just okay
Li Chengliang stared at everyone and said, "You didn't do anything. I received seven reports this morning, listing 19 cases of robbery and rape that occurred in the past three days. Did I do all of them?
Damn it! Tell the soldiers below, if anyone can’t control their hands and the things below, chop them off first, so as not to cause trouble for everyone else! "

After scolding him a few times, Li Chengliang softened his tone and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Tan has conveyed your military strategy, and everyone knows it.

Those who resist stubbornly and refuse to change must be killed, of course. But if we kill them all, who will graze our cattle, sheep and horses when we build a city here?
Mo Nan, Haixi, Jianzhou, and here will all be the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the herdsmen here are all the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we must be a royal army with strict military discipline to win the hearts of the people here and facilitate future strategies.

This is unquestionable, it is an iron rule!
The soldiers below don't understand. You don't understand, and yet I have to repeat my orders over and over again!"

Li Chengliang put his hands on his waist and cursed loudly, and the military school reported outside the tent.

"Report! Urgent military report, sent by Colonel Xiao and Vice General Wang."

Li Chengliang said quickly: "Quick, bring it in."

Taking the military report from the lieutenant colonel, Li Chengliang read it three times. His face was ecstatic at first, then his eyes flickered and his expression was complicated.

"Xiao Ruxun killed Tumen Khan on the banks of the Xiling River, and his head was also sent back."

All the generals stood up when they heard the voice.

"This young master is really amazing! Is he fifteen years old?"

"It is said that he just turned fourteen. He is a son of a general. It is said that he followed his father and brothers into the battlefield to kill the enemy when he was twelve years old."

"It's amazing that such a great man has emerged in the Northwest Border Town."

"It looks like it really is a Northwest wolf!"

Li Chengliang glanced at the faces of the generals and said loudly: "I will report to Luanhe Liaodong immediately. From here, Tumen Khan's head should be sent eastward to Heishan and then southward to all the tribes on the left wing of Mongolia!
We must let the people of the north and south of the desert know that the Borjigin family is history on this grassland, and from now on, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will have the final say!"

"Yes!"

At the Governor's Office in Datong City, Wang Chonggu received an urgent report from the west. His face changed drastically and he hurriedly invited Zhang Xueyan, the Governor of Shanxi, Ma Fang, the General of Datong, and Wang Daokun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

The three arrived one after another and were led to the custody room in the backyard of the yamen. They saw Wang Chonggu pacing around with a look of anxiety and worry on his face.

"Lord Jianchuan, what happened?" Wang Chonggu sighed, asked the three to sit down, and then handed over the urgent report.

"This is an urgent report from Huo Yaofeng (Huo Ji) from Jingbian, which has been sent over 600 miles."

Zhang Xueyan and the other two were shocked, and quickly took it and took turns reading it, all of them looking unhappy.

"Altan Khan was cunning and treacherous. He found an opportunity and used his tricks to bring together all the tribes of Ordos."

Zhang Xueyan stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Fang handed the report to Wang Daokun and snorted, "Altan Khan is ruthless. He kills people whenever his nephew says so. He killed all the descendants of his brother Jinang. Ten thousand households in Ordos fell into his hands."

Wang Chonggu found that the two did not discuss the key point. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced at Wang Daokun who was reading the Tang newspaper. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and waited for him to finish reading.

"Huo Duxian took in Qiejin, Bahanaji and others. Altan Khan will definitely not let this go!"

Zhang Xueyan frowned at Wang Daokun's words, "This is indeed a big trouble. Altan Khan deliberately watched the internal strife of the Jinang clan in order to completely bring the Ordos tribes under control.

Judging from his use of troops, he was targeting Chejin, which shows that he was very afraid of Chejin and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Now that Huo Duxian has taken in Chejin, Altan Khan will definitely not give up! "

Ma Fang glared, "Once you enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you will be protected by the Ming Dynasty. How dare Altan Khan tear his face off and start a fight?"

Wang Chonggu looked at him and said angrily, "My Lord Lanxi, the elite cavalry from Sanbian and Xuandashanxi have all been withdrawn to Liaodong, leaving us with a lack of manpower. Once Altan Khan marches south, we will be in a passive position."

Zhang Xueyan asked hesitantly: "How dare Altan Khan tear his face off? Now the armies of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty are not the Amon of Wu. He should know this.

There are also benefits of opening border trade, is he willing to give it up?"

Wang Chonggu walked to the window and pushed it open irritably.

"Altan Khan certainly knows this. He also knows that our elite cavalry from the northwest has been transferred to Liaodong. Now we can only defend the city, which is very passive.

If he wants to break up with us, now is the best time. Otherwise, when our army is free in the east, with nearly 200,000 elite cavalry and infantry troops on his flank ready to attack, will he dare to fight?
At this delicate moment, Master Huo gave him a perfect excuse."

Zhang Xueyan and Ma Fang looked at each other and said nothing more.

Wang Daokun said slowly: "Huo Duxian should have thought carefully before taking in Qiejin and others. Our military strategy is to use various means to gradually weaken the power of Altan Khan.

Therefore, we cannot sit idly by and watch Altan Khan take over all the tribes in Ordos. Taking in Qiejin and others is an excellent way to control the tens of thousands of households in Ordos. "

Wang Chonggu glanced at him, plopped down on his chair, and sighed, "I know Huo Yaofeng's good intentions, but now is not the right time!

Our most important thing now is to stabilize the west and ensure the smooth completion of the military strategy in the east. Even if it is a few months later, Li Chengliang, Xiao Wenkui, Zhou Guotai and other troops return to defend the Luan River in western Liaoning, I will not be so worried.

Now is the weakest time for the western front, Huo Yaofeng cannot afford to lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and resort to such a bad strategy! "

"Report!"

Another staff member hurried over with a copy of the newspaper.

Wang Chonggu jumped up and rushed forward to grab the newspaper. After reading it, his face turned pale.

"Altan Khan led the main force from the East Hetao area and quickly returned to Daqing Mountain. He also issued gold medals everywhere to mobilize 30,000 troops from various tribes on the right wing to gather at Daqing Mountain."

Zhang Xueyan asked in surprise: "Is this guy really going to fight?"

Ma Fang was excited and nervous, "If you want to fight, then fight!"

Wang Daokun remained silent.

Wang Chonggu glanced at him, stood up suddenly, and said to his staff in a stern voice: "Immediately send an order to all guards and passes in Shanxi, Datong, and Xuanfu to strengthen their vigilance and not make any mistakes.

In Datong, Weizhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou and other counties, the guards are stepping up their inspections to prevent spies. Inform all the trade offices that the situation is urgent. All the merchants and caravans of the Ming Dynasty are to withdraw to the interior immediately and stop leaving the country! "

After delivering the order, Wang Chonggu said to Zhang Xueyan and the other two, "I will write a letter immediately to report the military situation eight hundred miles away to the capital's supervisory office."

After saying that, he added bitterly, "Besides, I will write a letter to impeach Huo Ji, this old fool!"
