Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 28 Tatar troops approach Tumubao!
Of course, the guerrilla general would not risk his life with those killers from the Western Factory just for Ma Wensheng.

Although Ma Wensheng was the Minister of War, the swords of the Western Factory were obviously more threatening.

Besides, arresting Ma Wensheng was the order of His Majesty. Wouldn’t protecting Ma Wensheng be disobeying the order?

Those heads are not enough for Your Majesty to chop off!

Why do these thankless tasks?
Although the civil servants in the capital, those high-ranking officials such as the cabinet ministers, often refuted the emperor's orders.

But these low-level officials did not have the courage to disobey the order.

The guerrilla general acted very decisively. He immediately dismounted from his horse, discarding his soldiers and armor.

When his subordinates saw their leader dismount and take off his armor so quickly and efficiently, they all breathed a sigh of relief and praised their leader for having a good brain.

So everyone dismounted and took off their armor without any resistance.

When Ma Wensheng saw this scene, he was shocked and angry, and stared at his men.

"You! You guys! How dare you..."

Before Ma Wensheng could finish his words, he was grabbed from the carriage by people from the Western Factory.

Wang Zhi personally tied Ma Wensheng's hands with a hemp rope and then tied the rope to his own saddle.

"drive!"

Wang Zhi turned his horse around and galloped towards the capital.

The horse galloped wildly, pulling Ma Wensheng behind it forward.

"Ahhhh!!!"

“Let…let me go!”

"Ah ah ah..."

Ma Wensheng was no match for the strong and tall horse. He was pulled to the ground after just two steps and was dragged away by the horse.

Ma Wensheng fell to the ground. The rough ground rubbed his clothes and skin, leaving an intermittent trail of blood and continuous screams.

……

The Jinyiwei led by Mou Bin and Qinglong galloped all the way.

At a speed of 800 miles per hour, they rushed to Datong Prefecture without stopping.

At this time, the atmosphere in Datong Prefecture was very tense.

Qiu Yue was unlike Ma Wensheng who returned to Beijing slowly and did not receive any intelligence along the way.

He was stationed in Datong, and received a letter for help from Xuanfu the day after the Tatar prince captured Xuanfu.

When Qiu Yue learned that the little Tatar prince had broken through Xuanfu and was heading all the way to the capital, he was frightened and panicked.

So Hou Fu suggested to Qiu Yue: "General Qiu, since the Tartars have captured Xuanfu, it would be best for you to take the initiative to request to protect the capital."

"This way, not only will I not have to bear any responsibility, but I can also achieve great things and win the trust of His Majesty."

Qiu Yue, Hou Fu, Shi Zhong and Qiu Yue's cronies all thought that their bribery of the little Tatar prince was flawless and no one knew about it.

Little did he know that the guards of the Western Factory had already recorded the entire incident and sent it to Zhu Youtang for review.

After hearing this, Qiu Yue was overjoyed and felt that what Hou Fu said made a lot of sense.

So he immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital.

The general meaning of the memorial is: Qiu Yue discovered that the Tatar army was marching eastward and was about to invade Jizhen.

Qiu Yue requested that he be allowed to provide mobile support, to fight against the Tatar army, or to go directly to Tongzhou for defense, all under the emperor's orders.

Now he is anxiously waiting for a reply from the capital.

After the Jinyiwei arrived at the city wall of Datong Prefecture, they sent people to knock on the door.

When the general guarding the city heard that it was the Jinyiwei who came with the emperor's order, he hurried to open the door and sent someone to inform Qiu Yue.

After hearing this, Qiu Yue felt happy but also a little nervous.

"Isn't that His Majesty's reply to my memorial?"

"I wonder what decision His Majesty will make?"

"Should I go to fight the Tartars? Or should I return to the capital to serve the king?"

With these questions in mind, Qiu Yue brought Hou Fu and Shi Zhong to the city gate to personally welcome the Jinyiwei.

After Mou Bin led the Jinyiwei into the city, he looked around and asked in a deep voice.

"Where is Qiu Yue, the general of Datong Prefecture?"

Qiu Yue took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Mou Bin: "I am Qiu Yue."

"Sir, does His Majesty have something to tell me?"

Mou Bin stared at Qiu Yue coldly: "His Majesty does have an order for you."

Qiu Yue was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to receive the imperial edict. "Your Majesty, I am Qiu Yue, the general of Datong Prefecture, and I will listen to your imperial edict."

However, Qiu Yue did not receive any new orders from Zhu Youtang, but instead received his death sentence.

"Your Majesty has ordered that Qiu Yue, the general of Datong Prefecture, bribed the Tatars, colluded with the enemy without authorization, and opened the gates without authorization to allow the Tatars to enter the country!"

"I will arrest him and put him in jail, and kill all his clans!"

"Ah?! What?!"

Qiu Yue suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

He never imagined that His Majesty would know such a secret fact as his bribery of the little Tatar prince.

Moreover, if Your Majesty takes action, it will be a devastating punishment of exterminating all nine generations of your clan.

"This……"

Qiu Yue's mouth was dry and he wanted to defend himself, but Mou Bin had already given the order.

"Someone, capture Qiu Yue!"

"Anyone who obstructs or resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The Jinyiwei obeyed the order and prepared to take action.

Qinglong acted the fastest. He jumped up from the horse's back in a flash and pressed Qiu Yue to the ground.

"Woo! Woo!"

Qiu Yue wanted to roar, but his mouth was pressed to the ground and he couldn't speak.

Qiu Yue fell to the ground and struggled desperately, but he was no match for Qinglong's power.

"General!"

Shi Zhong and Hou Fu exclaimed and were about to step forward to help Qiu Yue.

The Jinyiwei beside them had already drawn their swords, and with a flash of the swords, both men were beheaded.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Qiu Yue looked at the two people dying in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes and his pupils dilated.

But his legs were already weak and he even had less strength to struggle.

With the help of other Jinyiwei, Qinglong tied up Qiu Yue in two or three moves.

All the soldiers of Datong Prefecture stood around in a daze, somewhat at a loss.

They saw with their own eyes that Qiu Yue, the general who had been stationed in Datong Prefecture for only a few days, became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

After tying up Qiu Yue, Mou Bin looked around again.

The soldiers around him who were seen lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

Mou Bin asked loudly: "Who is the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong Prefecture now?"

"Reporting to the Lord, it is General Liu Ning."

"Okay, until the new commander-in-chief of Datong Prefecture takes office, General Liu Ning will be in charge of the military affairs of Datong Prefecture."

"drive!"

After leaving these last words, Mou Bin immediately returned to the capital with Qiu Yue.

Like Ma Wensheng, there was no horse or carriage for Qiu Yue to ride, so Qiu Yue could only run behind the horse.

After running a few steps, Qiu Yue was tripped and fell to the ground, leaving a trail of blood and screams behind him.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Let me go! Let me go now!"

"Stop! Stop now!"

"..."

At this time, the troops of the little Tatar prince were about to arrive at Tumu Fort.

"Look, Khan, that's Tumubao."

Liu Chen pointed to a boat-shaped castle not far away.

The little Tatar prince laughed heartily: "Hahaha, is that the place where my ancestors from the grasslands captured your Ming emperor alive?"

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"

“What a great place!”
