Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 175
(PS: The second update will be delivered, ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket.)
Under the deliberate dissemination of people with good intentions, the news that Horqin Oba gathered various tribes to launch an attack on the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty quickly spread in the imperial court. Although the news has not been further confirmed, there is still an uproar in the imperial court of Ming Dynasty—— Now that the Ming army is fighting on two fronts at the same time against Liaodong Jiannu and Shaanxi rebels, it is already strenuous enough. In addition, the Tatar coalition forces are also here to join in the fun.Immediately afterwards, Young Master Zhang arrested Tatar soldiers for military training and angered the Tatar tribes, which led to the news that the Tatar tribes jointly invaded Ming Dynasty spread like wildfire—of course, it was the news that Feng Quan and Hou Xun jointly spread the news.Panicked, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty rushed to the Meridian Gate to write letters, demanding that Young Master Zhang, the culprit, be severely punished. Some people even shouted that they wanted to exchange the head of Young Master Zhang for peace and appease the Karaqin Tatars who were angered by Young Master Zhang. tribe.

"What's the noise?" Wei Zhongxian, who hurried to the Meridian Gate when he heard the news, frowned and shouted to the civil and military officials: "The invasion of Jimen by the allied forces of the Tatar tribes is only a guess at the moment, and Horqin Tuxietu and Puppet Khan Oba are just guesses. Contacting around, whether the other Tatar tribes agree or not is still the same thing. If you want to cry, wait until the Tatar coalition forces really come to fight. They are all scattered, scattered, go back and wait for further news."

Wei Zhongxian still had prestige in the court to some extent, and after explaining his words, most of the officials became terrified, and were about to give up their plan to severely punish Young Master Zhang.However, there were also a few officials who were not long-sighted, who had the courage to shout to Wei Zhongxian, the father of Young Master Zhang: "Eunuch Wei, this is a serious matter, and you must not take it lightly. I implore the court to kill Zhang Hao who indiscriminately kills innocent people and angered the Tartars." Gu went to prison to question his crimes, and sent eloquent ministers to Tatars to declare righteousness to Tatars, resolve grievances, and prevent disasters!"

Wei Zhongxian frowned even tighter, but before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen had already stood up, pointed at Chen Xinjia, the censor who proposed to arrest Young Master Zhang, and cursed: "Fart! I know who the Tatar Zhang Haogu killed is. They are all treacherous Tatars who colluded with Jiannu and harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty. They deserve death. Zhang Haogu’s killing is justified! If Zhang Haogu is also guilty of killing the brutal Tatars, then my ancestor Zhu Nenggong killed the brutal Tatars. There are more tartars, so should I be imprisoned and questioned, and use my head to appease the tartars?"

"Zhu Guogong?!" Wei Zhongxian was greatly surprised, never dreaming that Zhu Chunchen, the leader of the royalist party, would also speak for his godfather.Zhu Chunchen immediately explained: "Eunuch Wei, don't misunderstand me. I also help my relatives. The Han female slaves rescued by Zhang Haogu from the Tatar tribe were all sent to my capital regiment for resettlement. They were distributed to single military households in the regiment camp as wives, so I know the ins and outs of this matter."

"Oh, that's how it is." Wei Zhongxian heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly shouted to Chen Xinjia and the others: "Don't get out yet? Zhang Haogu was not guilty of killing the Tatars. Even Cheng Guogong admits this. If he is not convinced, our family and Zhu Guogong will accompany you to the court before the emperor!" Over there, Chen Xinjia and the others were speechless, so they had to leave the Meridian Gate to leave the palace in desperation.After spitting at the group of people, Wei Zhongxian turned to Zhu Chunchen and said, "Mr. Zhu, I really thank you today. Zhang Haogu, the little monkey boy, is our family's godson. Everyone knows that. If it wasn't for Mr. Guo, we would No matter how you explain it, I am afraid that these pedantic scholars will accuse our family of favoring little monkey cubs."

"Eunuch Wei, don't be polite, I'm just discussing the matter." Zhu Chunchen said modestly, and then said in a deep voice: "But Eunuch Wei, in the current situation, we'd better not open another battlefield. Eunuch Wei, will you send someone to fight with you?" Go to Jimen, ask Zhang Haogu to verify the authenticity of this matter, and see if the Horqin Tatars will really gather a group of Jian slaves to attack Jimen. If the disaster of war is inevitable, we should make preparations early, right?" Speaking of this, Zhu Chunchen volunteered again and said: "Eunuch Wei, I have visited Jimen many times over the years, and I know the situation there better. If you don't mind, I would like to go to Jimen and learn the details from Zhang Haogu face to face. "

"Mr. Zhu Guo is willing to go to Jimen without hesitation. Of course our family can't wait for it. We will enter the palace and ask the emperor for orders." Wei Zhongxian happily agreed, and then said with a roll of his eyes: "How about this, our family will let the Minister of Rites Huang Liji and How about going with the Duke?" Of course Zhu Chunchen understood that Wei Zhongxian was sending someone to monitor him, but he agreed without hesitation, Wei Zhongxian was even more delighted, and immediately went to the palace to ask for an order to let Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji go to Jimen together to learn more about the situation.

………………

Two days later, on the ninth day of June, Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji arrived in Jizhou together. Young Master Zhang came out of the city to welcome Zhu Chunchen and his party into his governor's yamen to settle down and entertain them with a banquet.Don't look at Zhu Chunchen saying good things to Young Master Zhang in the capital, but as soon as he sat down in Jizhou, Zhu Chunchen asked Young Master Zhang, "Zhang Haogu, what are you doing? I heard that you were arrested for military training. A small number of Tatar soldiers entered the pass to slaughter, which angered the Tatar ministries and forced the Tatar ministries to plan to join forces to invade the Central Plains—fortunately, the Tatars you captured deserved their crimes, otherwise even if your godfather is Wei Gonggong, you will be killed in the court. I can't protect you!"

"Come here, serve tea to Zhu Guogong and Huang Tangguan." Young Master Zhang was not in a hurry, first he asked his soldiers to serve tea, and then said to Zhu Chunchen with a playful smile: "Zhu Guogong, since you also think that those Tatars deserved their crimes, how many people should you kill?" It doesn't matter, I'm also venting my anger for the Han people, right?"

Zhu Chunchen was silenced by Young Master Zhang, and Huang Liji coughed hurriedly and said, "Tanhualang, Zhu Guogong didn't mean to blame you, but the current situation is critical, so it's better not to open another battlefield. Tanhualang You also know that in order to fight two wars at the same time, the national treasury is now empty. If your side fights with the Tatars again, Jiuqian will really not know where to squeeze money for you to fight. So this Before we came to Jimen last time, Nine Thousand Years had already told us not to fight if we can, and try to win over the Tatars outside the customs. After we deal with the rebels in Shaanxi and Jiannu in Liaodong, we will turn around and deal with them. Horqin and Harqin Tatars are not too late."

"Master Huang, with all due respect, you have completely misunderstood the order of the enemies." Young Master Zhang rarely showed a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the Horqin Tatars north of Jimen are the most dangerous. Enemies, they not only intermarried with Jiannu, but also hated Daming very much, and could directly threaten the capital of Daming. If they were not subdued and frightened, they would not dare to peek inside the pass, and the Ming army would not be able to concentrate at all. Concentrate on dealing with the thieves in Shaanxi and the slaves in the Northeast! So this battle must be fought, it is better to fight it sooner than later, and the safety of the capital can be guaranteed after one battle!"

Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang sipped his tea and said, "Furthermore, even if I hadn't dealt with the Tatars in the Karami Grassland, the ambitious Horqin Tuxietu Puppet Khan Oba would not give up his plan to attack Jimen. Now that the elites of the Ming army have been diverted to the Liaodong battlefield and the Shaanxi battlefield, and the treasury is unable to make ends meet, it is a great opportunity for the Horqin Tatars to attack Jimen, burn, kill and loot, so how can the Tuxietu puppet Khan be willing to give up?" Having said that, Young Master Zhang added One more sentence, "There is one more piece of news to tell Mr. Huang and Zhu Guogong. I just received the news from the Mongolian merchants that Horqin's Tatar army has been dispatched, and the Kalami's Tatar army is also gathering. The target is Jimen! "

"Is the news accurate? How many Tatar soldiers have come?" Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji's faces changed together.Young Master Zhang shook his head and replied: "I bought the news with the Xifeng ration salt standard. I can't prove it's true or false, but it's very reliable. I don't know the strength of the troops. In addition, according to my estimation, the Tatar cavalry It is very likely that we will launch an attack on Jimen in July—the grain has already been harvested and stored in the warehouse in July, which is the best opportunity for the Tatars to grab grain.”

"Master Zhang, this matter is not a joke." Huang Liji said tremblingly: "Based on the current situation, Jiu Qiansui can't even send you more reinforcements-don't expect the three major battalions of the capital, the three major battalions of the capital The camp must defend the safety of the capital!"

"There is no need for reinforcements." Young Master Zhang said slowly: "Didn't the officials in the court often say that my military expenditure for the slaughter of slaves is comparable to building a [-] army? I have a [-] army in hand, so what reinforcements do I need? No matter how many Tatar troops come, even if it is a million Tatars, with Jimen's army alone, I can beat them to the point where they dare not even take a step closer to Jimen in their next life!"

Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji glanced at each other, then got up together and touched Young Master Zhang's forehead, and said in unison: "Tanhualang, are you talking nonsense with a high fever?"

"Of course not." Young Master Zhang was not angry either. He opened the hands of Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji with a smile, and said with a smile, "When I led three thousand soldiers to attack Shengjing, the puppet capital of slavery, everyone thought I was making a fuss. The high fever is talking nonsense, the two adults should be very clear about the result, right? Now I have four thousand slave slaughter troops in my hands, and the Mangui cavalry who attacked Shengjing back then are also under my command. I have all the elite soldiers and strong generals. Fear the Tartars?"

Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji looked at each other again, but recalled the past - when the news of Young Master Zhang's surprise attack on Shengjing reached the capital, everyone in the capital asserted that Young Master Zhang had never returned, but in the end everyone fell through Glasses, Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji were inevitably shaken, thinking that Zhang Haogu is so confident, can he really do it?Over there, Young Master Zhang said again: "Master Zhu Guogong, Mr. Huang, please report back to Nine Thousand Years, and let him rest assured. As long as you send me some more gunpowder and rifle bullets from Jimen, he will be completely satisfied." You can sit back and relax and just wait for the good news of success. Alright, the banquet is ready, Lord Zhu and Master Huang, please take your seat."

Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji lived in Jizhou for two days, and they also appreciated the British capital drilled by the slave slaughter army, and they built up some confidence, but when they thought that Young Master Zhang planned to use these thousands of people as the main force to resist tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers. Thousands of Tatar cavalry invaded, Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji were still trembling, wondering whether Master Zhang would be sure to stop the Tatars.But no matter what Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji said, Young Master Zhang just refused to communicate with Tatar's kind suggestion to stop the war. In desperation, Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji had no choice but to return to Beijing in desperation.Before leaving, Zhu Chunchen quietly told Young Master Zhang that the plan to replace the civet cat with the prince had been successful. Wei Zhongxian and Ke Baba didn't find out, but the fake prince who was brought up in the palace was Zhu Chunchen's eldest grandson!
Soon, Master Zhang's determination and plan were conveyed by Zhu Chunchen and Huang Liji to Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian. Words are dubious.But the matter has come to this point, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian are reluctant to take Master Zhang's head to compromise with the Tatars, so they have no choice but to believe what Master Zhang said for the time being, and dig out a batch of ammunition, food, grass and military pay for Young Master Zhang, and deliver the order at the same time Yongping Governor Yan Mingtai and Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi asked them to prepare to reinforce Young Master Zhang.

Time passed day by day, and the news that the Horqin and Lami Tatar ministries formed a coalition to invade the Central Plains was finally confirmed, and the intelligence from all sides also made the Ming court take a breath of air—this time the Tatar coalition It consists of 43 Tatar tribes, with a total strength of 12!The house leak happened to rain overnight, probably to contain the Ming army in Liaodong, or maybe to harvest the grain that the Ming army planted around Jinzhou. Jiannu also dispatched [-] troops to Jinzhou. Without stopping, the northern defense line of the Ming army has actually called the police!There was a lot of turmoil in the capital, and the rich and powerful families were already scrambling to move their property to the south. People were panic-stricken and rumors were everywhere.

Under heavy pressure, the Ming court once again fell into panic, and the voices demanding severe punishment for Young Master Zhang to appease the Tatars also raised their heads again.Just at this time, the envoys of Tushetu and Puppet Khan Ouba, the ally of the Tatar coalition army, also arrived in the capital of Daming, and brought the Tatar coalition army's truce conditions-offering Zhang Haogu's head, and the coalition forces retreated! ——As for who came up with this move, I guess you don't need to guess, right?
With the promise of the Tatar coalition forces, the former Liaodong inspector Hou Yu, who had been driven back to the capital, jumped up and down with a group of surrenders, insisting on seeking peace with the Tatars and killing Master Zhang to show his favor to the Tatars.But it's a pity that these capitulators completely forgot one thing - in the history of China, Daming is the only dynasty that has not bowed to foreigners for peace!Whether it is the carpenter emperor or the infamous old eunuch Wei Zhongxian, no matter how difficult or difficult, they never bowed their heads to any enemy!On the contrary, the outrageous demands of the Tatar coalition forces completely enraged Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian, who resolutely beheaded the enemy envoys, and even issued a death order to Young Master Zhang—the Tatar coalition forces took a step across the Great Wall of Jimen, and Master Zhang's head fell to the ground!

"Don't take a step beyond the Great Wall? A group of mobs are worthy of me defending the Great Wall?" After listening to the edict Li Qinmeng, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, rushed to Jizhou to read the imperial decree, Young Master Zhang curled his lips and said confidently: "Please Li Father-in-law reported back to the emperor and Jiuqiansui that as long as the Tatar coalition forces touch a brick of the Jimen Great Wall, I will take the head to apologize!"

"Tanhualang, this matter is not a joke." Li Qinmeng said seriously: "It's not about our family bragging and putting on airs——our family is the third person in the supervisor of ceremonies, Bingbi, the emperor and nine thousand years old. Sending our family to Jimen to announce the decree shows that we attach great importance to this matter. Tell me quickly, what else do you want? As long as the emperor and Jiu Qiansui can do it, I will do my best to send it to you."

"I don't want anything anymore, everything is fully prepared." Young Master Zhang shook his head, thought for a while and said: "By the way, there are two things I would like to ask for the permission of the emperor and Jiuqian. First, please It is decreed to temporarily close the border markets of Zhangjiakou and Gubeikou! Let the Tatar cavalry come faster and more! Second, please grant me a Shangfang sword and allow me to dispose of the Tatar troops captured by our army , life or death, let me be the master on behalf of the heavens!"

Note: In 4 A.D., the feudal lords of the Karaqin Tribe, Dalaitaiji, Tumed, and Bushituhan, gathered Neikharka and other tribes, with an allied army of 12, in Zhaocheng (also known as Zhaocheng) of Tumed. City) wiped out more than [-] horses of Lin Danhan.This is the famous Duoyan counterattack.It can be seen from this that the Harqin tribe is still very strong, and together with the Horqin Grassland army, it is no exaggeration for [-] Tatars to invade Jimen.
