Chapter 1240: Surprise

Emperor Zhengde didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Zhijie attacking the Horqin Department, after all, Huadang dared to ambush the assassin to assassinate Zhang Zhijie, so Huadang had to die.

However, Zhang Zhijie wanted to attack the Tatar Khan's court, and Emperor Zhengde was really a little worried, after all, it was Dayan Khan's lair, and the troops he had to face to attack the Khan's court were definitely far more than the battle of Xuanfu.

In fact, not only Emperor Zhengde was a little worried, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very worried. They felt that Zhang Zhijie was a little too risky, and now that the situation in the border town was already very good, Zhang Zhijie had already made great contributions, and there was really no need to take any more risks.

For this reason, the cabinet scholars also found Emperor Zhengde and wanted Emperor Zhengde to issue an order for Zhang Zhijie to give up attacking the Khan Court. Although Emperor Zhengde was a little worried in his heart, he strongly supported Zhang Zhijie in the face of the doubts of the cabinet scholars at this time.

Because Emperor Zhengde knew that since Zhang Zhijie had already made this plan, he must be somewhat sure, and he had already promised Zhang Zhijie the right to be autonomous, even if he made an order, it would be too late.

The most important thing is that although Emperor Zhengde is worried, he has no expectations in his heart, because Zhang Zhijie always creates miracles.

If Zhang Zhijie knew about Emperor Zhengde's worries, he would definitely be worried, what is there to worry about, it is not too easy to attack the Khan court of the Tatars, the Tatars gathered 60,000 cavalry and collapsed, and the thieves are easy!

However, Emperor Zhengde's worries did not last long, because the messenger who reported the victory had already arrived in the capital in a hurry of six hundred miles. This was an unprecedented victory, and the entire capital was a sensation all at once.

Zhang Zhijie led the army to defeat the Tatar cavalry of 60,000 and capture the Khan's court, and Dayan Khan fled with only a few thousand horsemen and disappeared.

The government and the opposition are boiling, since the change of the civil fort, the Ming Dynasty has been struggling to guard against the invasion of the grassland cavalry, and it has really suffered a lot. Unexpectedly, today, Zhang Zhijie led the army to sweep through the steppe and capture the Tatar Khan's court in one fell swoop.

The officials who were originally dissatisfied with Zhang Zhijie's leading troops to attack the Khan Court shut up one after another and began to praise Zhang Zhijie's exploits. Since the opening of the sea to trade, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has been thriving, which can be said to have made the government and the opposition very excited, and the only fly in the ointment is that the border troubles have not been solved.

Unexpectedly, now that the border troubles have been solved, Daming is full of deterrence against the grassland again. If there were still people who had objections to the statement of Zhengde Shengshi before, then there are no objections now!

The treasury is abundant, the people are happy, the victory over the northern captives, and the deterrence of the grassland, what is this not a prosperous era? There are even many officials who write books and praise it, which is comparable to the prosperity of Zhenguan's rule.

Emperor Zhengde learned the news of the victory after the excited sibling dance, breaking the Mongolian Khan Court, such a feat is enough for him and Zhang Zhijie to immortalize the annals of history, and in the future, he will say that he is a playful faint king.

Although he didn't dare to compare with the Hongwu Dynasty, it was no worse than the Yongle Dynasty, and Emperor Zhengde was naturally happy in his heart. Especially after seeing the recital of singing the praises of virtue, Emperor Zhengde was even more beautiful.

Emperor Zhengde's joyful mood has not completely calmed down and received a question book sent by Zhang Zhijie 600 urgently, which did not go through the General Administration Department, but was directly presented to Emperor Zhengde by Jinyiwei.

Zhang Zhijie didn't say much in the recital, but said that he had slaughtered several tribes, and the tribes on the grassland all said that they wanted to submit to the imperial court. Nowadays, these tribal leaders will follow them to Beijing to meet the emperor, and revered the emperor as the Khan of Chechentian.

After reading it, Emperor Zhengde was a little incredulous, although he knew that Zhang Zhijie had captured the Tatar Khan's court, but he definitely did not expect that all the tribes would be submitted, and he would come to Beijing to meet him, let alone let these Mongolian tribes jointly respect themselves as the Khan of Chechentian.

After reading it once, Emperor Zhengde watched it again, and it was indeed not that he was dazzled. This surprise was a bit too big, so big that Emperor Zhengde was a little confused.

Zhang Yong saw that Emperor Zhengde looked stunned after reading Zhang Zhijie's inscription, and couldn't help but be very curious. Zhang Zhijie has captured the Tatar Khan's court, and now Emperor Zhengde looks confused, what is going on?

Could it be that Zhang Zhijie captured Dayan Khan alive? In this way, Zhang Zhijie has really made a great contribution. Zhang Yong asked curiously: "Your Majesty, hasn't the little marquis made a great contribution again?" ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded with a confused expression, and Zhang Yong said in surprise: "Could it be that the little marquis captured Dayan Khan alive?" ”

Emperor Zhengde shook his head and said, "No, but this merit is much greater than capturing Dayan Khan alive!" ”

What kind of credit is greater than the capture of Dayan Khan alive? Zhang Yong really couldn't think of it, and at this time, Emperor Zhengde gave the question book to Zhang Yongdao: "Look at it, I still feel like I'm dreaming after reading it!" ”

Zhang Yong took it with some curiosity and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he was also a little confused, if the question book was true, then Zhang Zhijie's credit was really much greater than capturing Dayan Khan alive, and it was even incomparable!

Emperor Zhengde came back to his senses a little and asked, "Have you finished reading it?" Could it be that the tribes of the steppes have all returned to obedience and want to go to Beijing with Zhang Zhijie to meet me? ”

Zhang Yong recovered from the shock, knelt down with a puff and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, these grassland tribes are going to enter Beijing together to meet the emperor, and honor the emperor as the Khan of Chechentian!" ”

Emperor Zhengde's hand was a little trembling when he took the question, because he was so excited, Emperor Zhengde laughed and said: "The tribes on the grassland have all been submitted!" Chechen Heavenly Khan? ”

Zhang Yongxi said: "Your Majesty, this is a rare glory!" The emperor is a Ming monarch who can be compared to Tang Taizong! The slave really doesn't know how the little marquis did it, it's incredible! ”

Emperor Zhengde laughed when he heard this: "It must have completely scared them!" Haha, Zhijie is really good! Not only did he not live up to my expectations, but he also gave me a big surprise! ”

"However, Zhijie also said at the end that he had prepared a surprise for me, I don't know what the surprise was!"

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Your Majesty, could it be that the little marquis also captured Dayan Khan alive?" ”

Emperor Zhengde shook his head when he heard this and said: "It shouldn't be, if Dayan Khan is captured alive, Zhijie will not be mysterious, and he should say it straightforwardly!" But no matter what this surprise is, Zhijie's surprise for me is big enough! ”

This surprise is indeed big enough, and Zhang Zhijie's credit is also big enough, I am afraid that no one will be able to compare the credit with Zhang Zhijie in the future, Zhang Yong does not have any envy and jealousy in his heart, because the difference is too big.

Emperor Zhengde held the inscription and excitedly ordered: "Zhang Yong, quickly announce the cabinet scholars and the Ministry of Rites to meet you!" ”
