Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 253 The Worst Son-in-Law

The great victory in Zhangjiakou, Young Master Zhang reported the results of the battle with ease and glamorously. He wiped out the enemy and captured the enemy chieftain alive. It sounds easy, but the actual battle process is far from simple and easy, and the loss is not usually huge. Then Perhaps it was Young Master Zhang's ingenious deception that caused tens of thousands of pro-Ming Mongolian soldiers to defect to the Ming Dynasty, which suddenly disrupted all of Lin Dan's positions and all of Lin Dan's commands. This battle was still fought hard and difficult. And hard, cruel and bloody.Even fighting until the last moment, Young Master Zhang did not dare to hope to capture Lin Dan alive, and he was ready to chase Lin Dan across the desert for thousands of miles, but Goddess of Luck smiled at Young Master Zhang again at the last moment, and declared the army Only then did he completely defeat the Mongolian army as he wished, and captured Lin Dan, a dangerous enemy, alive.

The specific battle process is like this, because of the loss of confidence in Lin Dan's brutal rule, coupled with being deceived into thinking that his relatives and parents have become hostages in the hands of Master Zhang, headed by Taiji, a pro-Ming tribe such as Hongji Site and Yingtangtu Nearly [-] Mongolian soldiers suddenly turned against each other and went directly to Lin Dan's camp. However, the Chahar tribe directly controlled by Lin Dan has always been the most powerful tribe on the Mongolian grassland. They quickly adjusted from the unprepared chaos and gradually stabilized. Lin Dan also decisively retreated to the camp, and used the temporarily built barracks to resist the joint attack of the rebels and the Ming army. At the same time, Yan Chuke and Nang Nuke, who were loyal to Lin Dan, also led the army to fight and retreat, and gradually moved closer to Lin Dan's army. Although the Ming army and the Mongolian rebels tried their best to block them, but the terrain was too open and their forces were weak, the blocking line was quickly torn into two holes. The Chinese army gradually became one.

At the critical moment, luck suddenly sided with the Ming army—I don’t know if it was the original tank in Sun Chuanting’s army that made the meritorious service. It was shot out with a single shot, and hit Lin Dan’s nine white-haired sweat flag impartially. The Khan flag was folded in response, and Young Master Zhang took the opportunity to order the whole army to shout the slogan that Lin Dan was dead in Mongolian, and sent the last reserve team, Zhao Lun's army and Lu Xiangsheng's army, to attack the enemy.In the chaotic army in the evening, the Mongolian army could not see the Lin Dan banner, heard the disappearance of the dead Khan, and was rushed by the new force of the slave army. The morale suddenly collapsed, and the team also collapsed. Fleeing in all directions, or throwing down their weapons and surrendering on their knees, two Mongolian generals from pro-Ming tribes also revolted in the camp. He and the Mongolian rebels took the opportunity to enter the camp and killed the Mongolian army that was about to stabilize their position again.

In the end, the camp that could be defended was breached by the Ming army. The situation of the Mongolian army was gone. The Mongolian tribe Taiji, who was more close to the Ming and still counting on the famine in the border city of Ming Dynasty, scrambled to defect and surrender. The army, even Lin Dan's important supporter Bahrain Tai Jiman Zhu Xili chose to abandon the dark and turn to the bright under the persuasion of the Wuban envoy. The entire army was hacked to death in the chaos!Taijiyao Penerliang, the Maoqitan Department of Tatar who had repeatedly harassed the border of Xuanda, once again showed his true colors on the wall, and sent his own brother to ask for surrender in front of Young Master Zhang, who promised not to pursue the former Maoqitan Department. After committing the crime of invading the Ming Dynasty and agreeing to continue doing business with the Maoqitan Department, Yao Penerliang immediately howled and personally led the army to kill the Chahar Army—the brave appearance of the first soldier makes people wonder whether this guy is the original The Yaopenerliang who ran for more than 800 miles with his wife and children just after hearing that Young Master Zhang became the Governor of Xuanda.

On the one hand, soldiers and generals defected and surrendered in groups, and on the other hand, the army grew stronger and stronger like a snowball. Under the ebb and flow, Lin Dan's superiority in military strength was quickly wiped out, and the Mongolian rebels fought against Master Zhang. Flattery, fighting is a hundred times more fierce and desperate than under Lin Dan's command. Even the notoriously weak Uziyet soldiers dared to confront Chahar soldiers head-on.A good tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. After a bloody battle all afternoon and one night, the Chahar army, which resisted the most firmly, began to collapse. In desperation, Lin Dan had to lead Chahar's remnant army to break through the siege, desperately fighting a bloody road to Ulan and Shuo.Young Master Zhang divided up his troops and pursued them. Countless Mongolian rebel Taijis volunteered to pursue them. Young Master Zhang immediately agreed and offered a reward of 10 taels of silver for capturing Lin Dan alive. These rebel Taijis immediately charged forward, biting Lin Dan The young master Zhang led the Ming army to stay, dealt with Lin Dan's remnant army, accommodated and organized the Mongolian soldiers, and captured the Sharpa Lama and the enslaved envoys Abai and Bao Chengxian who were too late to escape. People, the Lin Dan jade seal kept by Lama Sharpa also fell into the hands of Young Master Zhang.

Young Master Zhang sent the Mongolian army who had just rebelled to hunt down Lin Dan. Almost every general in the Ming army expressed concern about this, worrying that these fools would rebel against Lin Dan again. Young Master Zhang laughed and said, "Stupid! Ji turned against Lin Dan and killed Lin Dan's 25 troops, and then defected to Lin Dan's side. How many heads would they have for Lin Dan? Don't worry, for their own sake, they will definitely work harder than us in chasing and killing Lin Dan! Passionate and proactive!"

The fact was unfortunately told by Young Master Zhang that these Mongolian rebels were indeed more enthusiastic about chasing and killing their old masters than the Ming army, especially the old opponents of Xuanda's army, Mao Qitan and Xiadao'er, they were willing to die Forget life, one after another, Taiji Qiqing from the Daoer Department even personally led his troops to rush to the front of Lin Dan's team, and rushed to the Ulan and Shuo cities first, blocking Lin Dan's way into the city, and the Mongolian rebels behind him also rushed to the city. The Chahar army was driven like chicken blood, and the Chahar army was surrounded like an iron bucket in the suburbs of Ulan and Shuo, and the corpses of the Chahar army were scattered all over the field, and the blood flowed.

Later, Lin Dan, who was still unable to rush into Ulan and Shuo, had no choice but to break through again and fled directly to the Hunsandak Desert.In the end, as I said before, Lin Dan, who was completely desperate, bumped into Yu Huang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty on the edge of the desert. A Mao Qitan tribe who caught up with Lin Dan started to arrest and kill people. As a state envoy, he guaranteed that Lin Dan would never be hurt, and asked Lin Dan to accompany him to Xuanda Nanhunting.Lin Dan, who always thought that Chahanhot had been taken by the wolf-hearted young master Zhang, had no choice but to agree to the conditions offered by Yu Huang, obediently put down his weapons, and followed Yu Huang to Zhangjiakou to surrender.The Mongol rebels who were chasing Lin Dan coveted Young Master Zhang's reward of 500 yuan at first, but after hearing that Yu Huang was the master of Zhang, these Mongolian rebels didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and they honestly protected Yu Huang and him. Lin Dan went south and returned to Zhangjiakou to ask for credit from Master Zhang.

According to post-war statistics, the Ming army wiped out more than 12 enemies in this battle—most of them died of cannibalism, and more than [-] surrendered. Most of the rest of the army fled elsewhere. The entire army of Seoul was wiped out, and there were no survivors, which basically wiped out Lin Dan's elite, and basically wiped out all the capital of Lin Dan's dominance of the grassland.The Ming army killed more than [-] people, and the slave slaughter army killed more than [-]. The ammunition was almost exhausted, and the loss was equally huge.But in any case, Master Zhang's strategic task of achieving ten years of peace in one battle can be regarded as overfulfilling. With Lin Dan's main force being hit hard, the Mongolian grassland once again fell into a situation of warring for hegemony, and after this battle, Mongolia's pro-Ming The tribe has no choice but to further strengthen the relationship with Daming. The sword of the north that has been hanging over Xuan Da's head has completely disappeared without a trace. Young master, there will be no need to worry about the threat from the northern grassland for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that after Lin Dan met with Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang did give Lin Dan the treatment in line with his identity, and welcomed Lin Dan according to the etiquette of receiving the Mongolian Khan. Lin Dan was ashamed and grateful, and immediately offered to persuade him to surrender At the same time, Lin Dan also tremblingly put forward a condition - that is, he hoped that Master Zhang could guarantee the safety of his wife and children in Chahanhot City, and stop those who have a deep hatred with the Chahar tribe. The Horqin army and the Harqin army slaughtered his family members.The result was also natural. After Young Master Zhang only said one word, Lin Dan immediately foamed at the mouth and passed out. After being rescued, Lin Dan immediately yelled at Young Master Zhang, "You liar! The biggest liar in the world! "—As for what Young Master Zhang said, everyone can imagine for themselves.

It's useless for Lin Dan to regret his intestines, he himself has become a prisoner of Young Master Zhang, and he can only obediently let Young Master Zhang manipulate him - but fortunately, Lin Dan also knows that the Ming court will not want him easily Old life, it is necessary for him, the Great Khan, to sign a non-aggression peace treaty with Ming Dynasty, and restrain the Mongolian ministries from harassing the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty.So Lin Dan came to the mouth of the Yutai Ridge very obediently, and asked all the Mongolian troops in the valley to put down their weapons and surrender. When Ezhe heard that his father was also captured by Young Master Zhang, he burst into tears on the spot, and finally he obediently put down his weapons and surrendered. He is going to go to the Daming capital for trial with his father.By the way, in order to get rid of the war crimes, Lin Dan and his son agreed with each other as soon as they met, and shifted the responsibility of Ezhe's army's surprise attack on Wanquan to provoke the Ming-Mongolian War on Ezhe's deputy, Gu Yingtasu. Reluctantly, out of political needs, Young Master Zhang and the Ming court accepted the shameless defense of Lin Dan and his son without hesitation, and paid Gu Yingtasu thousands of dollars to perfunctory the world. .

………………

When Young Master Zhang was still busy in Zhangjiakou, the news that Zhang Jiakou Dajie and Lin Dan were captured alive by Young Master Zhang had already been reported to the world by the elated Ming Dynasty court. Seeing this mansion newspaper, I have long been used to the great victory of Young Master Zhang The news of the garrisons in various parts of Ming Dynasty was once again dumbfounded, and then Sun Chengzong silently tore up the memorial to impeach Young Master Zhang to expel the rebels back to Shaanxi, and personally led the army to kill the state capital where the main rebels were entrenched.Qin Liangyu, who was stationed in Hanzhong, called his son Ma Xianglin and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi, and said with a sigh, "Xiangling is not young, and you should understand her thoughts. That kid is definitely worthy of her. Since Xiangling is willing, don't care about it." identity, then let’s not miss her, why don’t you go meet that kid alone and tell him to send a matchmaker.”

Because of the route, Master Zhang’s official father-in-law, Xiong Tingbi, actually received the residence report earlier than Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu. The time for me to step down from this position from the Liaodong Economic Strategy is coming soon, and the imperial court will order me to get out of office soon! Damn it, it is my son-in-law who took away my supervisor position this time. There is really no place for this old face."

"Please rest assured, Supervisor, you still have a chance. The imperial court has no plans to send Hwarang to Liaodong immediately." Ji Yong, the military supervisor of Shanhaiguan, comforted: "When the messenger delivered the report to the mansion, Jiu Qiansui asked the messenger to bring me a piece of paper. In a letter, Jiu Qiansui said in the letter that although Tanhualang won a complete victory in the Zhangjiakou battle, the army suffered heavy casualties. In the two decisive battles, the soldiers were also very tired, and Tanhualang was also exhausted. So Jiu Qiansui asked the servants to tell you that it is impossible for Tanhualang and Tunujun to come to Liaodong in a short time, so that you can resist the enemy with peace of mind. We must guard Shanhaiguan and defend the safety of the capital of Ming Dynasty."

"Really?" Xiong Tingbi was a little surprised, and a glimmer of hope rekindled.Ji Yong took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Xiong Tingbi, and said with a smile: "If the supervisor doesn't believe it, you can read it yourself. It's okay, Jiu Qiansui has explained in the letter that you can read this letter." Speaking of this , Ji Yong frowned and said: "What's strange? Nine thousand years old still explained in the letter that you must tell Yuan Chonghuan the news that Tan Hualang will not be able to come to Liaodong for the time being. What does this mean?"

"What else?" Xiong Tingbi was also very surprised. He opened the letter and saw that the content was exactly the same as what Ji Yong said. At the end of the letter, Wei Zhongxian really asked himself to leak this news to Yuan Chonghuan.But Xiong Tingbi was baffled at first, then suddenly slapped the table again, and shouted angrily: "Understood! This must be the bad idea of ​​that bastard Zhang Haogu! You bastard, you are too deceitful, and you have despised your father-in-law to such an extent. We will meet later." , I must settle this account with you!"

"Tanhualang's idea? What do you mean?" Ji Yong was confused.Xiong Tingbi roared angrily: "What's the idea? Look down on me! That bastard is afraid that the governor of Liaodong will know that he is coming to Liaodong, and scare the troops of Ningyuan and Jinzhou into defecting and surrendering to Jiannu. Jiannu immediately advances the front line Go to Shanhaiguan! So this bastard gave Jiuqian the advice, and let Jiuqian order me to deliberately let the governor of Liaodong know that the bastard will not be able to come to Liaodong for the time being, lest the bastards in Ningyuan jump over the wall and surrender before the bastard comes to clean them up. , leading to an instant erosion of the situation, irreversible!"

"So, Tan Hualang wants to tell Ning Yuan's gang of rebels that he can't come to Liaodong to deal with them for the time being, and tell them not to panic and defect?" Ji Yong understood Xiong Tingbi's meaning somewhat.Xiong Tingbi said angrily: "Apart from this, what else is there to mean? Damn, this bastard has another meaning, that is, I can fight without him, and I am also stupid than him. The bastards in Ningyuan will only be afraid of him, no He will be afraid of me, so as long as I still occupy the latrine of Liaodong Supervisor, I don’t have to worry about Ning Yuan’s bastards jumping over the wall! Damn it, bastard, does he still have my father-in-law in his eyes...?"

Ji Yong snickered and didn't dare to speak. Seeing that Xiong Tingbi scolded more and more vigorously, he said cautiously: "Master Xiong, don't be angry when we say something unpleasant—if you had listened to Tan Hualang earlier, Don’t reuse and trust that traitor in Ningyuan, why did you fall into the current situation?” Ji Yong’s words hit Xiong Tingbi’s vitals, Xiong Tingbi’s scolding stopped abruptly, and after a long time of dejection, Xiong Tingbi was the third The second time he hated to slap the table, and sighed: "I regret it at the beginning!"

"What about this letter?" Ji Yong tentatively raised the letter and asked.Xiong Tingbi pursed his lips, and said listlessly: "You go and arrange it. You must let the bastards in Ningyuan know that my bastard son-in-law can't come to Liaodong for the time being, so they don't rush to rebel. Otherwise, Ningyuan's Hongyi cannon plus Jiannu's Hongyi cannon, I really don't know how to defend Shanhaiguan."

"Don't worry, Superintendent, our family will arrange it now." Ji Yong agreed, and when he was about to stand up, a soldier of Xiong Tingbi suddenly came in outside the room and reported to Xiong Tingbi: "Supervisor, the envoy of Governor Xuan Dazhang has arrived. I want to see you right away."

"What did you son of a bitch send a messenger here for?" Xiong Tingbi froze, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Tell him to get out!" The soldiers led away, and after a while, a young man covered in dust was led into the room, and he took a closer look. Xiong Tingbi and Ji Yong were taken aback by that person's appearance, and exclaimed together: "Zhang Shitou, why are you here?" It turned out that the person who came was none other than Zhang Shitou, the captain of the personal army who rarely left Master Zhang's side. There is also a package on the back.

"Master Xiong, Eunuch Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time. My little one greets you." Zhang Shitou and Ji Yong were also acquaintances, and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute.Xiong Tingbi sat still with an angry expression on his face, while Ji Yong smiled slightly, took Zhang Shitou up personally, patted Zhang Shitou's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and he is getting stronger and stronger! But why do you look like this?" Look, the dust on the face is so thick, and there is still a big smell of sweat, haven't you washed it for a few days?"

"I haven't washed for seven days." Zhang Shitou replied honestly, "The young master asked me to get to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, so I only slept for two hours a day along the way. , I didn’t have time to wash my face and take a shower along the way.”

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Xiong Tingbi yelled angrily, "Could you mean that my bastard son-in-law was afraid that I would not listen to his good advice, so he sent you to spy on me, and asked me to follow a strategy." work, don't you?"

"Master Xiong misunderstood, the young master didn't mean that." Zhang Shitou didn't dare to offend his wife's old employer, and hurriedly argued: "On the contrary, the young master thinks that you will never be fooled by Ningyuan's gang of rebels again this time." Yes! It’s just that our young master suddenly discovered seven days ago that he had calculated thousands of things in the Liaodong battlefield, but he underestimated a little and was worried about a big accident, so he sent me to come here quickly, so as not to give Jiannu an opportunity.” Speaking of this, Zhang Shitou unwrapped the package from his back again, and said: "Also, the young master asked me to lend this item to Master Xiong, saying that Master Xiong has reached a critical moment, and it might come in handy."

"Thousands of calculations, why do you underestimate a little?" Xiong Tingbi became angrier the more he heard it, and shouted: "That monkey boy really thinks he is Zhang Zifang and Liu Bowen, who can win thousands of miles by clever calculations? Want to treat his old father-in-law like a pawn Command to command?"

"Master Xiong, don't be too angry, Tanhualang and Zhang Shitou are also kind." Ji Yong comforted Xiong Tingbi with a smile, and quickly asked Zhang Shitou: "Shitou, what point does Tanhualang think he underestimated? Also, what's in your package?"

With that said, Ji Yong took the package, opened it for a glance, and Xiong Tingbi roared again, hammering the table and roaring: "Son, why did I find a son-in-law like you? You bullied your father-in-law, that's not the case." A bullying method?"
