Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 251

(PS: It’s the beginning of the month, ask for a December monthly pass.)
On the sixth day of October in the eighth year of the Apocalypse, this is a very ordinary day. As usual, Ming Xizong, who was treated by a Western doctor and escaped death, was promoted to the court as usual, and discussed with the officials about court affairs. What is different from usual is that That is, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong and the economic strategy envoy, sent a battle report, which aroused the vigilance of Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian and the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty.On September [-]th, the old Jiannu Nurhachi issued an order in Liaoyang, with Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai as the vanguard, and the regent Baylor Daishan as the commander of the entire army, leading [-] troops. The army set out to Yizhou, claiming to take Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Qiantun and Shanhaiguan, and avenge the "innocent" Jiannu people who died in Shengjing City! ——Judging from the date when Jiannu dispatched troops, apart from his routine visit to Jinyou to collect grain, the old Jiannu also had another major possibility to support Mongolian Lin Dan in an attempt to drag Daming into the predicament of fighting on three fronts.

"Wang Aiqing, what is Xiong Tingbi's attitude?" Ming Xizong asked Wang Yongguang nervously, Minister of War: "Are you planning to send troops to rescue Jinzhou? Or stick to Shanhaiguan?"

"Returning to the emperor, judging from Xiong Dushi's memorial, he is also very embarrassed now." Wang Yongguang replied in a deep voice: "The total force in Liaodong is only about 11, of which Shanhaiguan has [-], Ningyuan [-], and Jinzhou [-]. Xiong Dushi can directly control only the [-] troops in Shanhaiguan—that is to say, once Xiong Dushi rescues Jinzhou with all his strength, Shanhaiguan will basically have no soldiers to defend. What worries Xiong Dushi even more is that, The Tashan, Songshan, and Xingshan areas in the south of Jinzhou are all good terrain for blocking and ambush. It is also the only way for the Shanhaiguan army to rescue Jinzhou. His army rescue Jinzhou cannot be kept secret at all. If you are not careful, the loss of troops will be a small matter, but if there is a problem in Shanhaiguan, it will be a major issue."

Ming Xizong was silent, and turned to Wei Zhongxian after a while and asked: "Zhongxian, if I remember correctly, when Zhang Haogu first went to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu, he seemed to have said that Jinzhou is coming to our Ming army. It's hard to defend, it's hard to save, it's better to give up temporarily, is there such a thing?"

Wei Zhongxian replied dejectedly: "Back to the emperor, the little monkey boy said so, but unfortunately some officials strongly opposed it, so..." Wei Zhongxian did not dare to finish his words. When Master Zhang proposed to temporarily abandon Jinzhou, some pedantic The intransigent officials and censors strongly opposed it. Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian were also afraid of being reprimanded for abandoning the country without a fight, so they did not dare to fully support the correct proposition of Young Master Zhang. This led to the passive situation in Liaodong, so we really pursued it. Whether it is Ming Xizong or Wei Zhongxian, in fact, they all have to bear part of the responsibility.Ming Xizong was not too confused. Hearing Wei Zhongxian's overtones, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh, "I regret it at the beginning. Regarding military matters, I should really listen to Zhang Aiqing more."

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, it's useless to regret it now." Wang Yongguang said solemnly: "I believe that for the safety of the capital and as a precaution, Xiong Dushi's army must not move, otherwise, Xiong Dushi who is loyal to the court Once something happens to the supervisor’s army, Shanhaiguan will be in danger! If there is another accident in Shanhaiguan, then Ming will have no danger in Liaodong!”

Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly together, agreeing with Wang Yongguang's proposition, and other civil and military officials also echoed, agreeing with Wang Yongguang's point of view. The army of the Ming Dynasty is already the last barrier of the Ming capital in Liaodong, and no officials, no matter how stupid or pedantic, will gamble with this army.At the end, Ming Xizong gritted his teeth and asked again: "What about the governor of Liaodong? That bastard, is there any report?"

"Back to the emperor, what else can he report?" Wang Yongguang replied with a wry smile: "In addition to bragging about bragging to ensure that the Ningjin line of defense is solid, there is also a demand for pay and food. Open your mouth and ask for a year of food and grass. What are you talking about?" Prevent Jinzhou from being besieged by Jiannu for a long time, and ensure the supply of food and grass in the city without any worries.”

Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian stopped talking, but their faces became more and more angry. If it is said that Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian had a little affection for the governor of Liaodong in the past, but now, after the Ningyuan mutiny, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian have completely seen Liaodong. The true face of the governor, he hated this Daming tumor to the bone!And when Wei Zhongxian decided to use the bottom line to remove the Liaodong governor's party feathers, Jiannu immediately stationed troops in Yizhou to threaten Ning Jin. Question, the front line of the Liaodong battlefield is about to retreat to Shanhaiguan at once!But in this way, Wei Zhongxian, who is not too stupid, inevitably began to doubt the relationship between Jiannu and the governor of Liaodong. In addition to falsely reporting military exploits, what kind of tricks did the governor of Liaodong have in the previous victories?
At this moment, Wang Yongguang took out another memorial from his pocket, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, this is the pond newspaper of the governor of Liaodong. He also said such a thing at the end of the pond newspaper, Jiannu The regent Baylor Daishan sent an envoy to the Jinzhou guard, handed over the credentials of the old Jiannu Nurhachi, and asked the Ming court to grant the old Jiannu the qualifications to pay tribute, and canonize the old Jiannu as the king of Liaodong. If the Ming court If you agree, then the old Jiannu's army will withdraw automatically, if the Ming court refuses to agree, then the old Jiannu will go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and come directly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to ask the emperor to ask for tribute and canonization!"

"Idiots talking about dreams!" Ming Xizong sneered: "Liaodong and Jianzhou are both inseparable lands of Ming Dynasty. If the old Jiannu canonized as the king of Liaodong, wouldn't I become a senseless and stupid king who mourns the land and humiliates the country?"

"Officer Wang, how did Yuan Chonghuan deal with the envoy of Jiannu?" Wei Zhongxian was concerned about another matter.Wang Yongguang replied: "I was locked up by the governor of Liaodong. The governor of Liaodong said in the memorial that although some officials of the Ming Dynasty mishandled the Mongolian tribes and wantonly massacred them, the Mongolian Hudun Rabbit Khan soldiers committed Xuanda, which made Daming face three sides. The embarrassment of going to war—but my Ming Dynasty is the Chinese dynasty, how can I bow my head to the Jiannu barbarians? Even if I make false claims with Jiannu, and use Xu Gong to delay the army and temporarily relieve the pressure on Liaodong, the emperor must act arbitrarily! So! He didn't dare to be the master, he just detained the envoy who built slaves and imprisoned him, and asked His Majesty to order him!"

"Fuck it! This bastard clearly wants to persuade the emperor to make peace with Jiannu, and he speaks so grandly and confidently." Zhu Chunchen cursed furiously, and then clasped his fists to Ming Xizong and played: "Your Majesty, please come down immediately!" The purpose is to escort that Enslaver envoy back to the capital and send him to Dongchang for torture and torture, to see what kind of shady connection that boy Yuan Chonghuan has with Jiannu!"

"Zhu Guogong, I understand your feelings, but it's useless for you to do this." Wei Zhongxian said with a wry smile: "Since Yuan Chonghuan dared to detain the envoy, he must prevent the court from demanding that the envoy be escorted back to the capital for trial, so this envoy will definitely not It would be an important person, and he would never get anything useful out of his mouth. Taking a step back, even if this envoy is really useful, if the imperial court's decree is sent to Liaodong, this envoy will definitely be hanged to death in Liaodong. In prison—this kind of flower work has been used badly since ancient times.”

Zhu Chunchen was speechless, so he had to return to the train dejectedly.At this time, Ming Xizong asked Wei Zhongxian again: "Zhongxian, your son, how is the battle with the Mongolian Huduntu Khan going now? Has Huduntu's army reached Zhangjiakou? The battle report the day before yesterday said that Huduntu Rabbit has a full 25 troops this time, although your son can fight, he can also reassure me, but he only has [-] troops in his hands, he is outnumbered, it is best not to take it lightly."

"Returning to the emperor, Huduntu's army has already arrived in the north of Zhangjiakou, but the son of the servant who is useless is still waiting for a chance to fight." Wei Zhongxian said modestly on the surface, but in his heart he said proudly: "The monkey boy wrote that he did not defeat Lin Dan. Difficulty, the difficulty lies in the fact that one battle can achieve ten years of peace, because in order to achieve this goal, two things must be done, one is the main force of the Chahar tribe army directly controlled by Lin Dan, who has been hit hard, and the other is to further consolidate Because of the friendship between Daming and the Ming-friendly tribes of Mongolia, Monkey Cub is still nervously planning and designing cleverly, and he will never make a move if he is not sure enough!"

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Ming Xizong nodded, and then sighed: "With your loyal father and son here, I don't know how much I would have to worry about. If there is no father and son, one of you will work for me, and the other will conquer the north for me. I really don't know what to do."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. This is what slaves and slaves should do." Wei Zhongxian replied humbly and happily.It's a pity that other civil and military officials are not as full of blind confidence in Young Master Zhang as Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian are. Even Zhang Weixian, the uncle of Young Master Zhang's concubine, stood up and issued a warning, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, don't be too serious. If you underestimate the enemy, don't trust Zhang Haogu's words too much. Forgive me for saying a word about relying on the old and selling the old. With Zhang Haogu's ability to fight well, there may be hope for a few victories, but if you want to fight for ten years of peace in one battle, you will hit the tiger hard. The Chahar army directly controlled by Duntu Khan is even more difficult, and if we are not careful, we, Ming, may fall into the predicament of fighting on three fronts!"

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, I agree with Zhang Guogong's views." Wang Yongguang, who has a good relationship with Young Master Zhang, also said cautiously: "Hudun Tuhan personally raised 25 troops to attack Xuanda this time, which is almost the whole country. Bing, Mr. Zhang fought against the enemy alone with the power of Xuanda, and it is already very remarkable to be able to stop the overwhelming soldiers of Huduntu. If you want to severely damage the main force of Chahar, and fight for ten years of peace in the First World War, it is almost impossible. Impossible."

"Officer Wang, have you forgotten the last battle at Xifengkou?" Wei Zhongxian snorted dissatisfiedly, "The last time 12 Tatar coalition troops came to attack Xifengkou, you all said that the monkey cubs couldn't win, and the result How about it? With 12 troops, the monkey boy beat 25 Tatars all over the place looking for teeth, and even took down the two grasslands of Karaqin and Horqin in one go. Taiji and the prince of Tatars have captured hundreds of them! Now Zhang Haogu, the little monkey boy, has [-] troops in his hands, and the Tatar Tiger Duntu only has [-], can he still win?"

"Eunuch Wei, this is not the way to calculate the number of people and the comparison of military strength." Wang Yongguang replied with a wry smile: "There are many reasons for the last Xifengkou victory. Second, the Tatars are not familiar with the power of Mr. Zhang’s new musket, and were completely fooled by Mr. Zhang. As for the Northern Expedition to the Grasslands later, Mr. Zhang’s main combat force was actually the Tatars surrendered, and our Ming army did not come out. How much power. But now? The Xuanda Great Wall built of rammed earth has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is far less sturdy than the Jimen Great Wall built of bluestone. Master Zhang’s army has no place to trust; He must not dare to take it lightly, and he will definitely find ways to solve it, at least he will not rush up to his death like the last time! After the Xifengkou battle, Master Zhang was able to control nearly [-] Tatar soldiers as a forward, invincible, yes Because the Tatar tribes in the Karaqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland are like loose sand and lack centripetal force, but this time the Tatar coalition forces are different. Huduntu is not only the Mongolian Khan recommended by their tribes, but also the official descendant of the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian Khan, who was conferred and recognized by the decree, is united and united, and it is basically impossible for Mr. Zhang to imagine sweeping the grassland with troops like last time."

"So, do you think that monkey boy Zhang Haogu will definitely lose?" Wei Zhongxian asked extremely unhappy.Wang Yongguang shuddered, and quickly replied: "Eunuch Wei misunderstood, the lower official did not say that Mr. Zhang will be defeated, on the contrary, Mr. Zhang used his troops like a god, and he was invincible and invincible. The lower official also reported to Mr. Zhang the victory." The frequent reports of repelling the Tatars are full of confidence! The lower officials are only worried that after repelling the Tiger Rabbit, if Master Zhang fails to hit the main force of the Tiger Rabbit, then the Tatar army of the Hu Dun Rabbit will make a comeback and avoid Master Zhang’s sharp edge to attack me, Daming Other gates, so where did you go, Eunuch Wei, to find so many victorious Master Zhang to defend against powerful enemies?"

"That's the truth. That monkey boy from our family still has nothing to do to keep an eye on the Shaanxi rebels." Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, with a worried look on his face.At this time, Feng Quan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs who had long wanted to speak, took the opportunity to go out and said to Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian: "The emperor, Wei Gonggong, and the humble minister have a plan. They can kill two birds with one stone. It can make the slaves stop fighting. Liaoxi and Gyeonggi It is safe and sound, and it can be prevented in case of emergency, avoiding three-sided battles, and when the Xuanda army is unable to severely damage the main force of the Tatar tigers and rabbits, it can free up hands to strengthen the defense of the Great Wall."

"Oh, what's Aiqing's plan?" Ming Xizong asked in surprise.Unexpectedly, Feng Quan hesitated for a while, and cupped his hands first and said: "Your Majesty, my minister has something to say first, and after my minister offers advice, if the emperor refuses, please forgive me for my sin of gaffe."

"Speak, I will forgive you for not guilty." Ming Xizong replied casually.Over there, Wang Yongguang glanced at Feng Quan, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Feng Ge (Feng Quan is the second assistant of the cabinet), do you mean to suggest that the emperor adopt Yuan Chonghuan's plan and talk to Jiannu to stop soldiers?" and right?"

"What?" Ming Xizong was the first to exclaim, and then most of the civil and military officials also exclaimed together—this is the backbone of the Ming emperor and the court, there are emperors who cultivate immortals and play with lilies, and there are emperors who are always fooling around. , There are also emperors who like to do woodwork and Oedipus, and even emperors who are captured by the enemy, but they are emperors without soft bones!Don't cede land, don't pay compensation, don't pay tribute, don't become ministers, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!So Feng Quan's words hadn't been spoken yet, Man Chao was already full of angry eyes.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Feng Quan bit the bullet and said: "Although this is what I mean, stopping troops and negotiating peace does not mean surrender, and a temporary concession is also for future revenge! Just like what Eunuch Wei said There is only one Mr. Zhang who is good at fighting, and it is already very remarkable to be able to resist the Shaanxi rebels and the Tatar tigers and rabbits at the same time——Weichen said from the bottom of his heart, although the personal relationship between Weichen and Mr. Zhang is not very good, However, I still admire Master Zhang's achievements and brilliance on the battlefield from the bottom of my heart. Therefore, I suggest that the emperor can send an envoy to contact Jiannu first, and temporarily negotiate a truce to stabilize them. The Ming army is free, and it will not be too late to clean up Liaodong and build slaves." Speaking of this, Feng Quan added with a mournful face, "The key is that the Ming treasury can't support a three-sided war! If Mr. Zhang didn't do what he said After ten years of peace in the First World War, Huduntu Tatars were enlisted to retaliate with all their strength, and Ming and Tatars went to war in an all-out way, so the Weichen, Minister of the Household Department, had no choice but to abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

Feng Quan said this from the heart, not all for his own sake, including the carpenter emperor Ming Xizong, who knew very well that with the current financial situation of the Ming court, it is absolutely impossible to support three battlefields at the same time!In fact, Wei Zhongxian, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, is also more aware that the Ming army can now support two fronts at the same time, which is already the limit of his own infamy, opening the sea and banning commercial taxes to increase fiscal revenue. Adding another battlefield, even Wei Zhongxian can't help it Then get money to use as military expenses.Therefore, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian, who had always been tough with the outside world, did not lose their temper for the first time, but faintly wavered, and began to consider the feasibility of Feng Quan's proposal.Feng Quan looked at his words and knew that Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian had been tempted, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "The kid surnamed Yuan is right. At this time, the emperor and the old eunuch Wei have to consider the idea of ​​negotiating peace with Da Jin."

"No, absolutely not!" At this time, Zhu Chunchen, the representative of the hardline faction, jumped out and roared: "Your Majesty, you must never negotiate peace with Jiannu, let alone give Jiannu the qualification to pay tribute and bestow titles! If you do this, It is tantamount to acknowledging that the land in Liaodong is owned by Jiannu, which is a great shame and humiliation, if the emperor agrees, what face will you have to meet the ancestors of Ming Dynasty in the future?!"

"Your Majesty, I also think that this is absolutely impossible!" Liu Ruozai, who was also tough, also stood up and said loudly: "Now Korea has been captured by Jiannu, if we talk about a peace and truce with Jiannu, what will North Korea do? Is the slave state a subject?"

"Master Zhu Guogong, Lord Liu, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you are not in charge." Feng Quan sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Do you know how much money is left in the treasury? And how much money and food the imperial court owes the Shaanxi-Gansu Army? ? If the war on Xuanda's side is unfavorable or protracted, how much will it cost? Also on Liaodong's side, the army of slaves is coming to attack, and the army north of Shanhaiguan is not very reliable. What if during this period, Ningyuan Something happened suddenly with Jinzhou, can the imperial court send reinforcements to Liaodong?”

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, I think that Tangguan Feng's plan may be feasible." Wang Yongguang also said cautiously: "For the sake of precaution and prudence, temporarily calling off the war with Jiannu is also a way to avoid fighting on the third front. Wonderful move. And in this way, after making peace with Jiannu, it can also prevent Jiannu from forming an alliance with Huduntu and jointly harassing our Daming."

Both Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian were stern and silent, but they were both suspicious in their hearts——that damned Governor of Liaodong, could it be that he helped Jiannu to take advantage of the fire?Giving Jiannu the qualification to pay tribute and canonize is tantamount to recognizing the independence of Jiannu, and Jiannu must also ask for the establishment of a border market. With a border market, does Jiannu still have to worry about food shortages?
The big men standing and sitting were silent, and there was a quarrel in the Jinluan Hall. The peace faction and the war faction each insisted on their own words, and each had their own reasons. He also took the opportunity to fan the flames, secretly accusing Young Master Zhang of instigating the Ming-Mongolian war, and trapped the court in a dilemma.At this time, Yuan Keli, the servant of the Ministry of War, hurried into the Jinluan Palace again holding a Tang newspaper. Seeing the Tang newspaper in Yuan Keli's hand, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison: "Yuan Aiqing (my lord) ), is it Xuanda’s pond newspaper? Did Zhang Haogu win the battle?”

"No, this is the pond newspaper of Shanhaiguan!" Yuan Keli's answer first disappointed Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian, and then made Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian jump up together again, "Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, reported that the slave army was launched in September. 27 On this day, Youtun was captured, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city were either killed or surrendered. The grain in the city was all owned by Jiannu! Jiannu divided into two groups, surrounded Jinzhou on the one hand, and sent troops south to Ningyuan on the other. Ningqian is urgent! Shanhaiguan Urgent! Jiannu also sent envoys to Shanhaiguan to ask Master Xiong to report to the imperial court and ask the Ming court to grant Jiannu a tribute exchange market. If not, Jiannu will take Shanhaiguan this time!"

"So fast?!" Man Chaowen and Wu gasped together.Yuan Keli added with a livid face, "Also, Master Xiong ordered Dongzhen Mao Wenlong to send troops from Phi Island to encircle Wei and save Zhao and attack the hinterland of Jiannu. Although Marshal Mao led the troops at all costs, he was defeated by Amin, the slave-building general who was stationed in Uiju, North Korea, on the bank of the Yalu River. Marshal Mao was so poor that his army rations were also burned by the traitors. Marshal Mao was forced to withdraw his troops and was powerless. Supporting the battlefield in western Liaoning!"

"General Mao was also defeated? How is this possible?!" Everyone including Wei Zhongxian screamed.Yuan Keli nodded solemnly, and replied in a deep voice: "Marshal Mao has tried his best. He has no North Korean military colonies, the famine is severe on the island, and there is no food and grass. , said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, Master Xiong also reported a major military situation, you must hold on to it!"

"What other important military situation?" Wei Zhongxian and Ming Xizong suddenly had an ominous premonition.But Yuan Keli tried hard to swallow his saliva, and then whispered: "Master Xiong's detailed work in the Liaoxi army found that the Jiannu army brought many red cannons with the army this time, and they were Western red cannons with a range of ten miles. cannon!"

"Jiannu also has Hongyi cannon? Or is it a Western red cannon that can shoot ten miles?!" Wei Zhongxian was the first to growl, "How is this possible, this kind of Hongyi cannon from Jiannu?" Ming Xizong and Wenwu Bai The officials are all pale-just kidding, Hongyi cannons, Jiannu has this kind of Hongyi cannons, and the Liaodong Ming army's advantage of the strong city heavy artillery is gone.

"Master Xiong is still investigating the origin of the Hongyi cannons in Jiannu's hands." Yuan Keli replied dejectedly: "But Governor Xiong suspects that these Hongyi cannons are probably the five-door red cannons that disappeared during the Ningyuan mutiny." Barbarian cannon!"

"Yuan Chonghuan, I'm going to chop you into pieces!" Ming Xizong, who had always been gentle, suddenly roared, jumped up and kicked the dragon chair.Moreover, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall were silent, and many people simply trembled. Feng Quan said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, Jiannu has the red barbarian cannon, and Shanhaiguan is even more dangerous. You see, Yes or no…………."

Feng Quan didn't dare to finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he didn't say, which was to temporarily stop fighting with Jiannu and make peace with the land in exchange for time.And Ming Xizong calmed down quickly after the roar, gnashing his teeth for a long time, Ming Xizong suddenly pointed at Feng Quan, and asked: "Feng Quan, what did you want to say just now? Finish!"

"My minister obeys the order." Feng Quan agreed tremblingly, and then said: "My minister wants to say..."

"Report-!" At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly stumbled in and shouted from a distance: "The emperor, the emperor, the ancestor, Xuanda... Xuanda's side...."

"What's wrong with Xuanda?" Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian and others' hearts suddenly rose to their throats.The little eunuch gasped and said, "Master Zhang, the governor of Xuanda, sent a messenger to Beijing, but Master Yuan, the servant on duty of the Ministry of War, entered the palace. Master Zhang's messenger had no choice but to ask for an interview at Chengtianmen, saying that there was a major military report. .”

"Tell him to come in." Ming Xizong, who was in an extremely bad mood, waved his hand and shouted: "No matter what bad things happen, come together, I don't believe it, the sky can still fall down today?"

"Your maid obeys the order." The little eunuch kowtowed in agreement, raised his head again, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, old ancestor, didn't the envoy of Xuanda come to report his worries? Master Zhang beat the entire Tatar army of 25 The army was annihilated, and the Great Khan of Tatar was also captured alive by Master Zhang. This time, General Wu, the Xuanda messenger, came to Beijing to ask the emperor to ask the emperor and the ancestors to allow Master Zhang to personally escort the Great Khan of Tatar to Beijing for trial. Is this a happy event?"

"What—?" Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian's eyes widened again, and they shouted like crazy: "The 25 Tatar army was completely annihilated? The Tatar Khan was captured alive by us? How is this possible?!"

"This..., I don't know." The little eunuch shook his head blankly, and added: "By the way, the little general Wu Sangui of Xuanda also brought the jade seal of the former emperor of the Yuan Kingdom, saying that Master Zhang was on the battlefield. The captured ones are prepared to be dedicated to the emperor and ancestors."

"Wow!" Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian exclaimed in ecstasy at the same time.After a long time, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty came back to his senses, and while asking the little eunuch to announce Wu Sangui into the palace as soon as possible, he shouted at Feng Quan, who was already ashen-faced: "Feng Quan, you don't need to say anything! Wang Yongguang, give Yuan Chonghuan a message right away!" Order, tell him, if you don’t bring me three thousand slave heads this time, I want him to look good! Just tell Xiong Tingbi to guard Shanhaiguan for me, and I will send his son-in-law to help him right away, and teach him a lesson Those dogs are slaves!"
