Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.

The Hetao area was difficult to defend because of the open terrain and the defense line of the Great Wall did not extend there.

As a result, the line of defense is very long.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty, distributed to this line, seems to be weak.

Dayan Khan would suddenly attack the Hetao, perhaps because Daddy had gone to Xuanfu.

"Your Majesty, can you let the minister take a look at the sparse music?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, Xiao Jing sent down the urgent report, and Yan Chengjin glanced at it: the Tatars rushed in from the salt pond in Yansui.

plundered all the way, not only robbed the Hongyi general.

And the war horses that Daming kept in captivity in the northwest?

The Hetao grassland is the pasture of the Ming Dynasty.

Eighty percent of the war horses of the Ming Dynasty will be raised in the Yuanma Temple in Shaanxi, and if they are looted by the Tatars, they are all estimated to be gone.

According to the nature of the Tatars, if they can't take it away, they will kill it all.

Yan Chengjin felt that there were four possibilities.

First, with the Hongyi general, the defense of the border army was lax, allowing the Tatars to take advantage of it.

Second, Yansui's tuntian system was seriously corrupted, and it was unable to cope with the invasion of the entire Tatar army.

Third, the Tatar army is several times that of Yansui, and it can't be defeated with the Hongyi general, after all, the Hongyi general also has various weaknesses such as reloading.

Fourth, there is an internal thief.

Either way, they can only make up for the leaks after the autumn, and the top priority now is to snatch back the Hetao area.

The reason why it is difficult to get back the Hetao is that the grassland is very wide.

The Tatars came in, like a rat hidden in the house, and you can't catch it.

The Tatar cavalry, in particular, migrated very quickly.

Either don't let them in, after they do, it will be a protracted war to exterminate them.

At this time, a burly figure from the military department stood up: "Your Majesty, what's the use of a royal history to see the sparse play, it was you who advised you to transfer An Dingbo to Xuanfu?" ”

Yan Chengjin followed the voice and looked at it, and the person who spoke was Qin Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Qin Hong was the strongest general after Wang Yue in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and after Wang Yue's death, he replaced Wang Yue to defend the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

The most revered thing is that he has a shocking title.

The Great Wall in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's the advice of the lower officials." Yan Chengjin is not in a hurry.

Lai can't be relied on, Emperor Hongzhi knows, and Li Dongyang and the three of them also know.

At the beginning, because Wang Jie and others were greedy for military salaries, they changed their father to Xuanfu to defend the first line of defense of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Hong flicked his sleeves and asked sharply, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"If you don't send An Dingbo to guard Xuanfu, what Dayan Khan attacks today will be Xuanfu." Yan Chengjin Road.

Qin Hong obviously didn't believe in his military talents.

For the sake of prudence, he also studied military books at home, and often consulted Wang Shouren and Wang Yue for advice.

In the military, it is not to the point of illiteracy.

But because he had never fought, he was despised in Qin Hong's eyes.

Qin Hong said: "The mobilization of border army generals should be discussed by the Ministry of War, you are an imperial history, and you should not meddle in the affairs of the Ministry of War." ”

"Yes, the Ministry of War has its own arrangements."

"Now that the northern frontier has been lost, how do you atone for your sins?"

The loss of the Hetao is to stab the hornet's nest of the military department, and in the past, he was at ease, drinking tea and reading the newspaper on duty, and he was on duty when the time came.

The Tatars were in trouble when they attacked the Loop.

I'm afraid that my life before retirement will be properly arranged by work.

The civilian officials of the military department rose up to attack him and attacked Yan Chengjin one after another.

"You're right." Yan Chengjin was not arrogant or impatient.

Isn't the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate able to fight the heroes?

Qin Hong was stunned.

Why is this kid so spineless, so quick to admit it?

It's like a punch with all your might, hitting the cotton, it's not interesting at all, and people don't want to throw a second punch.

"Who is he?" Qin Hong asked the adjutant next to him in a low voice.

"He is Yan Chengjin, the cautious imperial history."

Just him?

Qin Hong had heard Yan Chengjin's name, and seemed to have seen it, but he didn't know that he was Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin is not showing weakness, chattering endlessly, which will only lead to a more fierce war of words.

He was just observing Emperor Hongzhi's face, like a dark cloud before a storm, and he said it.

Ma Wensheng said: "The top priority is to send troops to suppress the prisoners, order people to hold the line, cut off the retreat of the Tatars, and then catch the turtle in the urn and kill the little prince." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Li Dongyang and others also think it is feasible.

If the border line is blocked, the little prince can only go around Tibet, from the grasslands of Tibet, and then back to the Hulunbuir grassland.

If he doesn't return, the little prince can only confront the Ming army head-on, and sooner or later he will be exterminated.

"Who do you think you are going to send?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly, if his father went out to exterminate Dayan Khan, he would definitely be able to become the chief of the three sides.

Now that the trilateral system has been invaded, the post of trilateral general system is vacant, and there is an urgent need for one person to lead the overall situation of the tripartite.

His Majesty will certainly appoint the generals who will raise troops to resist the capture this time, and make it a trilateral system.

At present, there are only three suitable people in the court, Wang Yue, Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui.

"Why don't you let the ministers personally command the troops and defeat the Tatars?" Qin Hong stepped forward.

He had fought many Tatar tribes, but not Dayan Khan.

The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

Li Dongyang said: "There are many military departments in charge, in addition to the nine sides, there are also coastal and southwest military departments to preside over the overall situation, how can they easily leave." ”

"Well, this battle is a protracted battle, you are not suitable, the minister thinks that Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, can be in charge." Liu Jian said.

Zhu Hui went around with his father when he was young, both civil and military, and was a rare warrior in the Ming Dynasty.

Two years ago, Emperor Hongzhi ordered him and the British duke, one to guard the south and the other to the north.

Yan Chengjin said secretly, the person sent this time is probably Zhu Hui.

Zhu Hui may not lose, and it is estimated that even the Tatar camp may not be found.

Although he has a lot of records, he has not faced Dayan Khan head-to-head before.

Daddy's rookie fought three battles with Dayan Khan.

How much do you know Dayan Khan's marching routine?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to let Andingbo take command, Wang Yue went to oversee the army, and the duo of King Yan once defeated Dayan Khan." Yan Chengjin's voice sounded.

Qin Hong was angry: "Didn't you just say that the appointment of the military department, I will discuss it myself, you ...... Why do you advise again? ”

"You want your father to go back to the Hetao again, you are ruthless!" The military department pointed at Yan Chengjin and scolded him in the middle of the incident, and Uncle Anding had to let his dog son toss to death.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others had strange faces.

Yan Kesong gave birth to such a son, and he was tossed to death sooner or later.

"Xiaguan is the imperial history of the right capital, and it is his responsibility to picket the government and the opposition, Zhu Hui is not the best general, please make the right choice for Your Majesty." Yan Chengjin is colorful.

Dayan Khan and the fire sieve appeared on three sides, indicating that all the Tatar forces were concentrated here.

Xuanfu faced the Ordos Ministry under the command of Mandu.

This man is a traitor to the Tatars, and in order to retain his troops to compete with Dayan Khan, he will not easily attack the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to move Andingbo.

The three sides have been lost, in case the Duoyan and Ordos tribes attack Xuanfu.

The first line of defense in the north was broken.

"Let An Dingbo guard the Xuanfu, and order Zhu Huipei, the Duke of Baoguo, to be the general seal, to serve as the chief military officer, to supervise the military affairs of the right capital Yu Shi Lin, and to supervise the army of the eunuch Miao Kui, and go to the enemy, what do you think?"

"I think so, but!" Liu Jian said decisively.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Yan Chengjin was a little stunned, Emperor Hongzhi and Jiuqing agreed, and he was the only one who voted against?
