Chapter 315: Traitor Zhao Quan

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang must have an idea in his heart, so he is not in a hurry, let's not look at the Xuanfu, the negotiation is still Lord Zhang's final say, as for Lord Zhang not to tell us, there is also his reason, people are the second assistant of the cabinet, on learning, on strategy, but we can not compare, and the 'Mongolian' ancients negotiated, is to have more 'flowers' and 'flowers' intestines, we can not lose the majesty of the Celestial Empire, nor can we put the 'Meng' ancients' I'm in a hurry, there is a degree here, Lord Zhang should know better than us, you and I just do a good job, how about we go to the city tower in a while. (Phoenix Dance)"

"Okay, Lord Fang, I have already arranged the troops to respond, and they are on standby at the 'gate' of the city, all of them are light horses, if the 'Meng' ancients have any disadvantages to Lord Zhang, they will also arrive soon. Lord Fang, have you noticed, that deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, rarely speaks, what is the origin, I have been away from the court for a few years, I didn't expect that there would be such a young official in the court, it wouldn't be that noble son. ”

"I also wonder, looking at Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards him, the relationship doesn't seem to be ordinary, no, I want to inquire about what kind of character it is." Fang Fengshi was also very curious about my mystery.

"This is simple, Lord Fang, the leader who escorted Lord Zhang over must know, and now that the leader is there, you will know if you ask. Zhang Juzheng said last night, then Wu Zuoling is still our Xuanfu out, and he is also an old man in our Xuanfu, and yesterday he killed so many 'Mongolian' ancients, we should offer condolences, and when we get inside, we will send someone to summon us, and we will understand when we ask. ”

The two of them returned to the ya'men', and Fang sent someone to invite Wu Dashan at the right time.

Wu Dashan was in the temporary camp, arranging for the soldiers to prepare to go back to pick up the wounded who were left on the mountain bag yesterday, when he heard the summons of the governor of Xuanfu, he dared to slack off, and hurriedly 'handed over' Ge Qianhu on behalf of him, and followed the herald to the General Soldier's Mansion.

When he arrived at the Ya' Gate, Wu Dashan saw that the ceremony had been completed, so he sat down at the right time, and when Wu Dashan sat down, Fang Feng asked: "General Wu, last night Lord Zhang said that you also went out of our Xuanfu." ”

"Lord Huiyu, Xia Guan was transferred to the capital by Cheng Anhou three years ago to train cavalry, speaking of which, I am also an old man in Xuanfu with my ancestors."

"Yes, General Wu, yesterday's battle, although it was led by the Beijing army to fight, but, the main general, you are our Xuanfu, but also to our Xuanfu long face, your beheaded head, I also let the people below to check it for you, I gave the emperor the fold, it is also written very clearly, back to the capital, the emperor naturally rewards and punishes clearly, General Wu's battle, fought beautifully, played the prestige of our Ming army, these days Lord Zhang has not left, the official wants to be anxious, in the Xuanfu City more than 100 households of the general, please General Wu to tell them, How did you defeat the 'Mongolian' ancients, as well as your mandarin duck formation, the official was also very interested, and asked General Wu to give advice. ”

"My lord, kill the small one, yesterday's battle, it was also Master Zhang and Lord Lan who commanded properly, the small one is just leading people to charge into battle, since the adult wants to know the mandarin duck formation, the small one will ask Lord Zhang to write it out, and then one person will be served." Wu Dashan first put the credit on Zhang Juzheng and me, he knew that we would not take credit from them, it was these beheaded heads, that was a reward of five taels of silver for a head, it was a real military achievement, this time I went back, the promotion was certain, and the silver was indispensable to him.

"General Wu, just now you talked about that Lan person, this Lord Wang and I don't know what the origin of this Lan person is, can General Wu tell us what the background of this Lan person is." Fang turned around in a circle at the right time to ask the right point.

"Two adults, I don't know the specific origin of this Lord Lan, I only heard him say that he was originally a 'waiter' in the palace, and he was transferred to a civil official by the emperor because of his merits.

Just these words, have made the two adults understand that I am not so simple, a 'waiting' guard to a civil service, this is rare, not to mention, I am still a student of Zhang Juzheng, I became a member of the third grade at a young age, this is impossible without real ability, with Zhang Juzheng's personality, he will not accept anyone. When the goal of the two people was achieved, they sent Wu Dashan back.

"Lord Wang, now we should go to the city tower and wait for Lord Zhang and his muffled voice to come back."

"Okay, Lord Fang, let's go to the city tower and see how Lord Zhang negotiates with the 'Meng' ancients."

Not to mention, how do two people go to the city tower, and then look at our negotiation team, although out of the general military mansion, but along the way, Zhang Juzheng ordered the sedan chair to walk slowly, saying that it is to see the street scene of the Xuan Mansion, from the general military mansion to the city. The door is also the scene of the four-mile road, Zhang Juzheng insisted on letting the sedan chair go for half an hour, not only walked slowly, Zhang Juzheng also came down to the sedan chair from time to time to see, there were rare things and bought a few, of course, Zhang Juzheng did not bring money, his family members also died, had to have Lao Liu to pay for Zhang Juzheng with my silver, fortunately not a lot.

The sedan chair drivers muttered in their hearts, this Lord Zhang will not be afraid of the 'Meng' ancients, so grinding, uncomfortable, this sedan chair is also, if you go fast, everyone is relaxed, I am afraid of such a lord, do not let go fast, slowly and leisurely before walking up, and stop, no matter how they muttered and dissatisfied in their hearts, this sedan chair still has to be carried.

Waiting out of the city 'gate' of Xuanfu, I saw from a distance that two tents were set up in the wilderness five miles away from the city 'gate', one was 'inserted' with the banner of the Ming army, and the other was 'inserted' with the wolf head flag of the 'Mongolian' ancients, Zhang Juzheng wanted to control the speed of the sedan chair, so the sedan curtain was open, and when he saw the two tents, he asked me: "Yun Jie, what's going on, how can this party set up two tents, so how can we negotiate." "Teacher, I think you have wronged Master Fang in this matter, and the other one has a banner of the 'Mongolian' ancients 'planted' on it, and it is estimated that the 'Mongolian' ancients also set up a tent by themselves."

"What are these 'Mongolian' ancients trying to do, can't we go to their tents to negotiate?"

"I don't think so, maybe the 'Mongolian' ancients felt that it was not safe in our tent, so they built it improvised."

"Okay, leave him alone, let's talk about it there, let the palanquin man hurry up, it's better to be able to run and sweat."

Lao Liu asked the sedan chair driver to speed up and run to the tent, these sedan chair drivers are so angry, just let us slow down, now it's good, and let us run sweat, what kind of person is this.

The palanquin bearers did not dare to slack off, and ran to the tent with the sedan chair like flying.

In the tent of the 'Mongolian' ancients, Altan Khan, who was over 60 years old, sat on a leather cushion, beating angrily, and three of the four cups he brought had been broken by him, and he still scolded in the ancient 'Mongolian' language: "These Han people, just don't pay attention to faith, let Ben Khan wait here for an hour, no, don't wait, let's go back." ”

There were two people standing on the side, one was the 'Mongolian' ancients, and the other was a Han man, and the Han man said: "Great Khan, don't be rash, I understand the Han people, under the pressure of our soldiers, they dare not come, the Han officials are all taking shelves, this morning they sent a messenger to say, this time the Qin mission is the cabinet deputy Zhang Juzheng, it seems that their emperor still attaches great importance to this matter, let a cabinet deputy assistant, come to negotiate with the Great Khan, it is also very face-saving, that Zhang Ju is a civil official, can not ride a horse, maybe he came by sedan chair, That's why it's slow, I think it's better to wait, if they really don't come, then we will attack the city in the afternoon, or our grain and grass won't last long. ”

"Zhao Quan, what do you mean by negotiating for a while, attacking the city for a while, if you hadn't insisted on negotiating, Ben Khan would have beaten the Xuanfu a long time ago, and he would still be angry here." I replied to the Han man named Zhao Quan with a snort.

Who is this Zhao Quan, and why is he by Altan Khan's side, this has to start with the White Lotus Sect. In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Zhao Quan, the head of the White Lotus Sect in the Yanbei region, and others led the people to illegally cross the border, defected to the Fengzhou area of Hetao, and relied on the power of the Anda Department to sit on the throne, and finally became a big problem for the Ming government. These White Lotus rebels are supposed to be the first Han Chinese in history to immigrate outside the mouth.

The White Lotus Cult has often emerged in history as a rebellious image. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he realized that this kind of civil society organization with strong rebel power would become a potential hidden danger for the new regime. The White Lotus Sect was greatly hit by the suppression of the Ming Dynasty, and basically went underground and became a secret society. In the first month of the 33rd year of Jiajing, Zhao Quan, Li Zixin, and others, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in Yanbei, led their followers to cross the border to the Hetao area outside the Great Wall.

These outlaws of the White Lotus Sect were the first Han Chinese immigrants to cross the border into Mongolia. The "Mongolian" ancients were nomadic and had no fixed residence, and the Han people built houses and settled, and the "Mongolian" people called it "Bansheng", and "Bansheng" is the meaning of the house. In the records of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that in the last years of Jiajing, there were more than 50,000 Han people who went to the Fengzhoutan area of the 'Mongolian' realm, including more than 10,000 party followers before and after the White Lotus Sect, and these people developed nearly 10,000 hectares in Yunnei, Fengzhou and other places, and hundreds of villages. They are not simply immigrants to settle down, but a political force to be reckoned with. It is said that when Zhao Quan and others first arrived in Fengzhou, they were answering a 'leg' disease, and Zhao Quan, who knew a little about medicine, risked his life to buy 'medicine' in Yingzhou and cured An A's illness, so An A was close to Zhao and gradually regarded him as a confidant.

After Zhao Quan and others gained the trust of Anda, they began to make great plans in the Fengzhou area, and the land of Bansheng gradually prospered, and the shortage of labor became a real problem, so these defected Han leaders often instigated' Mongolians entered the country, plundered the young and middle-aged laborers in the mouth, and gave advice for them, provided all kinds of information, made sharp soldiers and strong armor, cloud ladders and other combat weapons, and provided various tactical suggestions. Since then, the 'Meng' people have plundered tens of millions of Chinese laborers, that is to say, since the White Lotus Sect Zhao Quan and others defected to the 'Meng', the three sides of the Ming Dynasty suffered greater threats and made it more difficult to defend. After gaining a firm foothold, Zhao Quan and others gradually swelled their ambitions, they tried to support An Ta as the emperor, and built a nine-fold palace for An Ta, and they called the king, and also built a large scale of earth forts, at that time Zhao Quan had a population of 10,000 people, tens of miles around, 50,000 horses, 30,000 cattle, and 20,000 grains. It is precisely under the complicity and instigation of these people that the tension between Mongolia and Mongolia has become even more tense, and reconciliation is even more hopeless.
