Chapter 162: Don't cut the envoy, he's a good person
Yan Chengjin's face was dark, the official hadn't said a word until now, it was obvious that you were showing off how this cannon was.
Emperor Hongzhi ignored the envoys, and hurriedly ordered someone to summon Song Jing to the high platform: "I ask you, how long is this cannon?" ”
Song Jing hurriedly said: "It is two feet long and six feet, weighs three thousand six hundred and twenty-four catties, and has a range of more than seven miles." ”
Seven miles?
Everyone gasped.
Seven miles away, people can't see clearly, this cannon can fly so far!
Emperor Hongzhi was ecstatic in his heart, and it was not good to show it too much in front of the envoys, and he forced a smile: "Okay, I want to reward you heavily!" ”
"Your Majesty, you can't reward Song Jing."
A discordant voice rang out.
What is surprising is that the person who spoke was Yan Chengjin.
When Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers were confused, Yan Chengjin asked seriously: "How many miles did the official let you do?" ”
"Eight miles."
"How many miles did you make?"
Song Jing lowered his head and said ashamedly: "Seven miles." ”
Yan Chengjin said righteously: "This kind of defective product, how can you have the face to participate in the school review ceremony, do you know that if there is a mile on the battlefield, it is possible that the enemy army of Fanbang will not be stoned to death, and if it is a mile, it may be possible for the Tatars to step into the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and if it is a mile, it is possible to make the people of the border city streak all over the field, and it is a ......mile away."
Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched fiercely, and Li Dongyang and the others looked strange.
"Yan Qing's family, you don't have to be so cautious."
"Your Majesty, the battlefield is only about life and death, so it's better to be cautious."
The faces of the foreign envoys are as ugly as eating cockroaches, especially the Tatar envoys are full of people, the Ming Dynasty deceives people too much, and we will never come again for the military parade in the future......
"Ahem...... More on that later. Emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly.
Yan Chengjin was very solemn: "This cannon will be used to guard the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty and help our soldiers defend the city. ”
It's a shock!
How could the envoys not hear it, and that was to say, for Mandu to hear, and let him bring the news back to the steppe and tell Dayan Khan and their neighbors.
The drills of the Beijing army and the border army showed the strength of the Beijing army.
But it could not make the Tatars frightened.
But this Hongyi general is different, with it on the city wall, a range of seven miles, who dares to shoot him directly?
The envoys' faces became ugly.
Yan Chengjin's original intention was not just to deter, he really wanted to mount this cannon on the nine sides and strengthen the defense of the nine sides.
Today's display, firstly, is to deter the countries, and secondly, to let the Hongzhi Emperor and ministers see its power, and it will take time and no one will stop it.
Chao Xian's envoy pleaded: "Your Majesty, please sell this cannon to my court." ”
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and decisively refused: "I won't sell this cannon to anyone." ”
Yan Chengjin can understand the mood of the envoy Chaoxian, North Korea at this moment is the time when the undercurrent is surging, if there is this cannon, there will be an extra bargaining chip.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tonight, Honglu Temple will hold a banquet, and the envoys will enjoy it, I am a little tired today, so I will not go, and the cabinet will feast on my behalf." ”
"Your Ministers obey!" Liu Jian tried.
There is such a thing as hospitality, and Emperor Hongzhi is relieved that there is Xie Qian.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute! Today I saw a military general, who was originally a general under me, and I want to persuade him to go back to the grassland with me, and ask His Majesty Daming to let him meet me. Mandu said.
Yan Chengjin frowned: "He has submitted to my Da Ming, and he will not see you." ”
Mandu Zhi insisted: "Please give me a horse and a gun, the grassland only respects the strong, this person is rebellious, if I defeat him, he will definitely follow me back to the grassland." ”
Yan Chengjin knew that Mandu was the lord of the Ordos Department.
The envoys were watching, and Emperor Hongzhi said very generously: "Let Lin Song come up, whether to fight or not, he decides for himself." ”
Lin Song walked up to the high platform and saw Mandu, the two seemed to be very familiar, and started talking, but the two used Mongolian language, which Yan Chengjin didn't understand.
Zhu Houzhao exclaimed: "Old Gao, this guy used to be a subordinate of Mandulai!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with straight eyes, meaningful: "Can you understand Tatar dialect?" ”
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, looking like 'Bengong didn't say anything just now'.
I saw Lin Song kneeling down and pleading: "Please Your Majesty give him a good horse and a spear." ”
Mandu was waiting for Huhebari in the middle of the school yard with a man and a horse, holding a spear.
As the commander-in-chief of Hongzhi's hunting, the program arranged by Yan Chengjin ended here, but he didn't expect there to be an aftershow.
The Tatars came all the way to the world, and they couldn't help but save face.
So Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers sat down again.
Under the high stage, he didn't start playing for half a day.
Mandulai continued to persuade: "Follow me back to the grassland, I can guarantee that no one will dare to kill you, you are still my Mandulai's right-hand man." ”
"I have changed my name to Lin Song, and promised the general soldier that I will serve the Ming Dynasty in this life and never return to the grassland." Lin Song shook his head.
He was originally a subordinate of Mandulai, but Mandulai wanted to rebel and installed him under Dayan Khan's account.
Mandu said coldly: "Then I can't keep you today!" ”
Lin Song raised the spear in his hand, and he didn't say much, and he was ready to fight.
Yan Chengjin was about to fall asleep, and he felt that someone rubbed him, "Lao Gao, it's going to start!" ”
When I opened my eyes, I saw that Mandu Cheng and Lin Song were fighting together, spears fluttering, war horses galloping, and fighting around the school field.
Man Du Cheng wanted to kill Lin Song, naturally he didn't care about anything else, and stabbed the horse in the belly with a shot, Lin Song knew that Man Du Cheng was a person, and he had long expected him to be like this.
His spear swept past, and the two of them fell off their horses.
Mandu, who lost his warhorse, seemed to be much weaker, and he was defeated in a few rounds, and Lin Song picked and stabbed Mandu Lai in the abdomen.
The battle ended quickly, but in a matter of moments, the winner was decided.
Zhu Houzhao thought he was going to fight for a long time.
"Stop!"
Yan Chengjin drank.
The ministers have a black face, and the Tatars are killing each other, what a good opportunity.
"Stop, he's a good guy!" Yan Chengjin said urgently.
Hearing that it was the young master shouting, Lin Song's spear pierced into Mandu's abdomen and stopped it in time.
Emperor Hongzhi and the others were puzzled, Fang Cai, as if they heard Yan Chengjin say that he is a good person?
"Your Majesty, the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoys, I am a state of etiquette, and the minister takes the liberty to ask Your Majesty for permission." Yan Chengjin Road.
Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers did not know the situation in the steppe, and Dayan Khan strongly unified the steppe, and many people were not convinced.
Mandu is the biggest force, ostensibly obedient, but in fact......
He even killed Dayan Khan's second son, Urusborot, who had previously fought with Xie Qian in the court.
Urusborot is the right-hand man of the little prince, and in addition to him in the future, Mandu will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, Mandu Cheng was the lord of Ordos, and if he died here, Dayan Khan would justifiably incorporate the Ordos tribe and increase his power, which would be extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "What does their Tatar matter have to do with me, and when did I say that I would take his life?" ”
