The day after Shen Xi was stationed at Juyong Pass, the news of the defeat of the Yibula army in the area north of Juyong Pass reached the big tent of the Tatar Khan outside the Beijing Division, and the Tatar high-level immediately exploded.

In the battle plan of the Tatars, it is also the backbone of the attack on Juyong Pass, even if it cannot capture Juyong Pass, the first male pass in the world, it will not suffer defeat and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty on the front line of Juyong Pass can be revitalized.

Dayan Khan Batu Munk urgently convened the generals of the Dayan tribe and the chiefs of various tribes to discuss the account in Nanyuan, and the main content of the discussion was how to deal with the Ming army on the front line of Juyong Pass.

“…… Don't take this waste, we fought with the Ming army and won the war, but he suffered a defeat and dragged everyone back, if he didn't even know life and death now, I really wanted to arrest him and convict him! The Ming army continues to occupy Juyong Pass, and the Ming Dynasty's three-sided soldiers and horses can smoothly withdraw to Dadu, if we can't break through Dadu in a short time, the situation will change from active to passive! ”

The man who spoke was in his early twenties, stocky, bearded, and rugged-looking, and his name was Urus. Borot, the second son of Batu Munk, has a very high status in the Khan, after all, he was born to Mrs. Mandu Haicherchen, and belongs to the lineage of the Golden Family, although he is not the first heir of the Great Khan, but he has a high right to speak in the army.

Batu Munk relied on most of the generals and talents left behind by Manduhai and his father and uncle, but in the civil strife in the steppe and the internal purge of the Dayan tribe over the years, he began to gradually use new people, and several of his sons, including Urus. Borot, all entrusted with important tasks.

Of course, what Batu Munk wants most is to arrange his son to serve as the patriarch of the major tribes of the steppe, so that the grassland will be owned by the Golden Family, and the situation that the leader of the first major tribe of Warat forced the Khan King as a "Taishi" will never happen again.

However, this was strongly opposed by Yibra, Yismain and others, so Batumunk also had sharp contradictions with the patriarchs of several large tribes, Batumunk hoped to use the method of "peaceful evolution" to let his son replace the position of the patriarch of the major Tatar tribes, but how could the patriarchs of the tribes easily comply?

Previously Batumunk intended to let Urus. Borot took over as the patriarch of the Yongsheb tribe, but he did not do so, and the patriarch of the Yongsheb tribe did not do so. Borot's hatred for Yibula was deep, and when he learned that Yibula's army had suffered defeat, he immediately fell into the ground.

Because of the power struggle on the grassland, the tribal chiefs attending the meeting did not dare to speak casually, and Batu Munk was silent, and the Chinese army camp was quiet.

Urus. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Borot took the initiative to come out and ask: "Father Khan, please allow the child to lead elite soldiers to break through the capital and correct the orthodoxy of my Great Yuan." As long as the Beijing division is a while, the Ming army will have no fighting spirit, and the area north of the Yellow River will re-enter the hands of our Dayuan, operate well for a few years, and it is also promising to dominate the world! ”

Urus. Although Borot was brave and good at fighting, he did not have a good record, and he could not get the approval of many patriarchs, and there was still silence in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Batumunk finally spoke: "The battle against Dadu is urgent, but Urus, you are not suitable for this heavy responsibility, it is better to be the commander of your guard!" ”

"Why?"

Urus. Borot looked unconvinced.

Su Suha, the general of the Dayan Department, said: "The second prince, each of the troops has their own subordinates, not to mention that it has been decided before that the eldest prince will lead the troops to attack the capital!" ”

Susuha was the right and left hand of Batumunk, as the cousin of Batumunk, and was also the eldest son of Dayan Khan. Borot's cronies.

Not only is there frequent infighting between the various tribes in Mongolia, but even within the Dayan tribe, they are in a state of disobedience to anyone, and even their own brothers are secretly vying for power and profit, and it is only because of the high prestige of Batu Munk that there is no civil strife.

Now Batu Munk is faced with two choices, either continue to besiege the capital of Daming, or withdraw his troops.

Judging from all aspects of the situation, it is the best policy to continue to besiege the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and to eliminate the impact of the defeat of the army, it is only necessary to send soldiers and horses to guard the main road of Juyong Pass to the Beijing Division, and even go the other way, and send troops and horses to attack Juyong Pass, so that the Ming army can take care of itself, so that there will be no changes in the capital.

At present, the Tatar Chinese army has not been affected by the defeat of the army, and the Ming Dynasty does not have many soldiers and horses at Juyongguan, so it is impossible to have a fundamental impact on the situation in the capital.

In the end, Batu Munch made an arbitrary decision and ordered the second prince, Urus. Borot led the 4,000 cowardly Xue army guards to the south entrance, and led the soldiers and horses of the previous few small tribes, so that the Tatars had 10,000 soldiers and horses in the area south of Juyong Pass, and the remaining 100,000 Tatar troops continued to besiege the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Batu Munk looked around at the generals of the Dayan Department in the big tent of the Chinese army and the patriarchs of the grassland tribes attending the meeting, and said impassionedly: "The rise and fall of the Great Yuan is here. After conquering the capital, this king will share the country with you, treasures, women, and farms, and enjoy inexhaustible use. ”

Seeing that the Great Khan was so determined, the leaders of the tribes below did not dare to say anything, and their idea was to strive for a soup to drink when the meat was eaten in the Dayan Tribe.

……

……

Since 3 November, the pressure on Beijing's defense has increased suddenly.

The Tatars began to raid the gates of the capital for twelve hours a day, and the sentry agents secretly arranged in the previous months also began to play an effective role in the Ming capital, and the generals and officials responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital received the conditions of the Tatars one after another according to their powers and responsibilities.

When the news was reported to the cabinet, Liu Jian became angry and angry, and took the case: "How can this be true, the martial law in Beijing has been for several months, and the Tatar meticulous work should have been wiped out a long time ago, why are there so many spies?" ”

Li Dongyang couldn't answer, because for a long time before, like Liu Jian, he was in a state of asking for leave.

Only Xie Qian muttered there: "Most of it has something to do with Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou taking care of the Beijing camp!" ”

Xie Qian had a very thorough understanding of the drawbacks of the previous martial law in Jingshi, and knew which link had gone wrong, but Emperor Hongzhi trusted the Zhang brothers very much, and he lacked the determination to fight against the two uncles, so he could only let it go.

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty's spirit has improved a lot in the past two days, is it necessary to talk to Your Majesty about this matter?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head: "The problem has not been solved, and it is in vain to play with Your Majesty. Yu Qiao, what do you think? ”

Sensing that Xie Qian was a little absent-minded, Liu Jian deliberately asked more.

Xie Qian replied perfunctorily: "If Young Master Liu has any decision, I will do it, and there is no objection!" ”

Liu Jian looked at Xiong Xiu again, and after making sure that no one objected to him, he took out a pen and paper and made a detailed vote: "Send the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and send soldiers and horses to search for Di Yi's fine work, there must be no mistakes!" ”

Because Zhu Youji's body has not yet recovered, he still can't ask too much about the defense of the Beijing Division, and the opinion of the cabinet will still become the main tone of the final celebrant Zhu Pi, Xiao Jing basically adopts a resigned attitude on this issue, and never expresses opposition to the opinions of several cabinet ministers.
