"Hey...... I just don't know the Great Khan, you don't give us this opportunity to the Horqin Department. Yideri no longer concealed it, "Great Khan, don't worry, after we join forces to eat the Chahar Ministry, Great Khan, you can just look at it and give me a few pieces of land." The main thing is that I hope the Great Khan can give me Shigil"

"I have known for a long time that you have bad intentions towards Shigil, and since you are so good this time, I will agree to your request!" Eris laughed.

"Xie Da Khan, my Horqin Department will definitely take the lead of the Great Khan!" Ideri bowed his head respectfully and thanked him, but the glint in his eyes made Eris ignore it.

Idri got the result he wanted and left satisfied. After a while, Aoyun came to Eris, and after listening to his boss's brief description, he cautiously asked, "Great Khan, do you really plan to annex the Chahar Ministry?" ”

"This time, Abdul Qin retreated without my permission, and he must be taught a lesson, otherwise who will listen to my orders on the grassland in the future!" As soon as Aduqin was mentioned, Eris was angry.

"But the Great Khan, the Chahar Department is not a lamb to be slaughtered, not to mention that there are several small and medium-sized tribes below them, and they are also desperate for Aduqin, if we start a war early, we will definitely not win easily." Aoyun reminded worriedly.

"It's okay, since Yideri is willing to help this time, let the Korqin Department take the lead, and we'll watch from the back first."

"Great Khan, Idri is notoriously treacherous, how could he come out for no reason this time? What piece of land in Chahar did he have his eye on? Aoyun was puzzled.

"Idri didn't specifically ask for any piece of land in Chahar to be given to him, but he just asked me for Shigil."

"Just a shigir is not worth the bet of Idzh on the Korqin tribe. Khan, I don't think it's that simple! ”

"Aoyun, you're worrying too much! Idri has long had the heart to occupy Higil, and everyone in the steppe knows it. Since he is willing to come forward, and I have the need to teach Abduqin a lesson, why not fulfill him, as long as I have 100,000 Tatar iron horsemen, forgive him for not daring to mess around! Eris said domineeringly.

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Eris interrupted Aoyun, "If there's nothing else to do, you can go out first." By the way, help me call Gambia in, I'm going to arrange the retreat. ”

Aoyun knew the temperament of his boss, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and left the yurt.

Gambia is Eris's most relied on deputy, and after receiving Aoyun's notice, he immediately came to Eris's side and obeyed the arrangement of his boss. Immediately after that, the retreat of the Mongols began in order.

……

On the day that Erisi got the news of Aduqin's retreat, Zhong Nan was fighting in Jizhou. He received an order from Lord Xing to rush to Xuanfu immediately to form a flanking attack on the Mongol Central Route Army to alleviate the passive situation of Xuanfu.

Now the situation of the Ming army is very good, and victory is just around the corner. Although Mongolia still has two armies, the center and the right, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the original evenly matched situation has changed greatly after the return of Aduqin's left army to the north. As long as the Ming army continues to fight steadily, it is only a matter of time before the Mongols are driven away.

Zhong Nan did not dare to slack off, and set off for Xuanfu with 3,000 "Zhong Family Army" and 10,000 cavalry. There are only 10,000 elite cavalry in Jizhou, and most of the rest are ordinary soldiers, and it won't play much role to bring them to Xuanfu, not to mention that Jizhou also needs troops to guard. Lord Xing also knew the situation in Jizhou, so he only recruited the above people.

Before he arrived at the destination, Lord Xing sent an order again: the Mongolian army in the middle and right has also begun to retreat, and Zhong Nan's men and horses do not need to go to Xuanfu.

Although he ran for nothing, Zhong Nan was very happy. No one is born to like to fight, because the sword and gun have no eyes, and no one dares to guarantee that they can come back alive when they go to the battlefield.

After receiving Lord Xing's order, Zhong Nan led his men and horses back to Jizhou, and at the same time, he still sent people to Xuanfu to inquire about the situation. On the way back, the scouts gathered the news they had discovered, and Zhong Nan was convinced that this war was really coming to an end.

A few days later, the dust settled. The Tatar and Korqin tribes jointly launched a crusade against the Chahar tribe, and the border stability of Xuanfu, Datong, and Jizhou was temporarily guaranteed. As for how long this state of affairs will last, no one knows for sure, after all, no one can say for sure what is going on, and since it may end without warning, it will naturally begin without explanation.

Just like this time the war of resistance against Mongolia came in the suspicion of everyone, and came to an abrupt end when the *high* tide * was about to rise. In his opinion, if it weren't for the special majesty of the Jizhou army in the first battle, the Mongols' left-flank army would not have retreated, let alone what would have happened later.

Emperor Wanli also thinks so, because Zhong Nan was pushed up by him against public opinion, and at this moment it can show his wisdom in understanding people.

As for the border, no one doubts it. Even if those pantothenic acid people say that Zhong Zongbing is lucky, the Mongols rushed south without internal stability, and they are definitely not the opponents of the Ming army. However, comparing the performance of the armies of Xuanfu and Datong, anyone with eyes can see which is stronger and which is weak.

After winning the battle, the court naturally had to show something. The Jizhou army received the most abundant rewards, and the Xuanfu and Datong had few rewards, but no one said anything.

Xing Jue took a step further and sat in the position of secretary of the Ministry of War. As for Shi Xing, the original Shangshu, he was dismissed not long ago, because after the end of the Korean War a few years ago, Shi Shangshu deceived his superiors and subordinates in the peace talks he led with the Japanese, and accepted bribes from many parties.

As for Zhong Nan's reward, it has not come down, and I don't know how the emperor intends to reward him.

Zhong Nan was very calm about this, he knew that the emperor intended to let him serve in Beijing, but this time most of them were obstructed, so the two sides were deadlocked. Otherwise, his reward would have been down with the others long ago, and since it was inconclusive, the emperor and the opposing side had not negotiated.

The Ming Dynasty was not like other dynasties, where the emperor could do whatever he wanted, and even strong kings like Taizu and Chengzu sometimes had to compromise with their ministers. Not to mention the descendants of the Zhu family in the future, sometimes even marrying a concubine has to be discussed with the minister, not to mention such a major event as the appointment and dismissal of ministers in the court.

Of course, this does not mean that the emperor is deprived of his rights, but a kind of recognition between the monarchs and ministers for each other, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding formed between each other. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were particularly fond of working against the emperor, especially the speech officials, who often rejected the emperor for no reason in order to fulfill their good reputation. There are also many people who were reprimanded by the rod and dismissed for confronting the emperor in person, but they were sought after by the folk scholars.

This time it was indeed as Zhong Nan thought, Emperor Wanli originally planned to let Zhong Nan take the position of the squire of the military department, but the officials strongly opposed it. The old man was very stubborn, claiming that there was no precedent for the transfer of military attachés to civil officials in this dynasty, and that the emperor could not appoint cronyism.

Zhu Yijun was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet, but he couldn't deny Wang Xijue's statement. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the previous dynasties, most of them are civil officials with a higher status than military attachés, so civil officials look down on military attaches from the bottom of their hearts, they think that the other party is just a group of uneducated old men, even if there are individual civil and military talents, it is difficult to get the recognition of civil officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were people who were transferred from civil officials to military officials, but there was indeed no precedent for military attaches to be changed to civilian officials, which gave Wang Xijue and his ilk a false precedent. Since ancient times, all emperors have "ruled the country with filial piety", and the measures of previous emperors, especially the founding emperors, are rarely overturned. So a "no precedent" can block Zhu Yijun's mouth, and he can't refute it.

Of course, there are also emperors who will repeal the actions of their predecessors and implement measures that are completely opposite, but often in special times or when they have to be changed. Now it seems that if Zhu Yijun wants to break the situation, it is not impossible, after all, in the royal society, the emperor's will is above all else, "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", Zhu Yijun only needs to force himself to act according to his own wishes. But the consequence of this is likely to be that Wang Xijue will be angry and stop picking and not doing it, and he can't rashly make this decision until he has to.

The current situation is that except for Wang Xijue, the other three members of the cabinet remain neutral; Although Xing Jue, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, was in favor of his opinion, it was only because he had just taken office that it was difficult for him to express his views. As for the other ministers of the court, most of them remained silent, although they knew that this was the emperor's intention, but they did not want to easily set the precedent of "changing military attaches to civilian officials", otherwise they would likely become enemies of the entire civil ranks.

Since the beginning of March, the Wanli Emperor has not been in court every now and then because he is unwell. The ministers knew that this was the emperor's pressure, and they didn't dare to stand in line easily, so they dodged one after another.

In this case, others can hide, but Shoufu Shen Shixing must stand up. He specially met with the emperor and found that Zhu Yijun was determined to let Zhong Nan take office, and there was no room for negotiation. Shen Shixing knew that the emperor wanted to establish his royal authority, which was the same reason for the purge of Zhang Juzheng. It's just that there may be another reason for this incident: Emperor Wanli really valued Zhong Nan very much, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice a minister in the cabinet for this.

If the emperor does not budge, then he can only lobby Wang Xijue. Out of the Forbidden City, Shen Shixing shook his head, he couldn't be clearer about Wang Ge Lao's stubbornness. Although the two are fellow villagers, their relationship on weekdays is acceptable, but on major issues, it is unlikely that Wang Xijue will give in. It's just that no matter what the outcome is, this trip to Shen Shixing is a must.

When he arrived at Wang Xijue's mansion, Shen Shixing got the expected answer: even if Wang Xijue was dismissed by the emperor, he would not agree to the appointment of Zhong Nan.
