Chapter 156: The Wolf Is Really Coming
Once upon a time, there was a sheep herding baby who went to the mountains every day to herd sheep. One day www.biquge.info he felt bored, so he shouted to the farmer at the bottom of the mountain: "The wolf is coming, help!" The peasants rushed to the hill panting with their hoes, and did not even see the shadow of the wolf. The next day, the sheep herding baby repeated, and the farmers were tricked again.
On the third day, the wolf 。。。。。 It's really coming!
On the ninth day of the fifth month of the 25th year of Jiajing, Tatar Altan Khan led 40,000 iron cavalry to break through the Datongwei, and the chief soldier Zhang Da and the deputy chief soldier Lin Chun were killed in battle. After breaking Datong, 40,000 Mongolian iron cavalry entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers pointed directly at the capital!
When the news came, the government and the opposition were shocked!
Since the Tumubao Incident, the capital has not been threatened by the Mongol tribes in the north for a hundred years!
Emperor Jiajing left Yongshou Palace for the first time and held a court meeting in the Fengtian Palace.
Emperor Jiajing said: "The Tatar Department has broken through the Datong Guard, what is the best way for the ministers to break the enemy?" ”
Shoufu Xia Yan said: "Your Majesty, although the Tatars broke through Datong and entered the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty, but in Datongwei, the Tatar cavalry must be exhausted from the bitter battle!" And the Tatars have lived in the steppe for a long time, and they must not be accustomed to the soil and water when they enter my Ming Dynasty! 40,000 Tatar cavalry, already a tired army! The three battalions in the capital have a total of more than 90,000 elite soldiers. The minister suggested that the three battalions of the capital should be sent to take the initiative to attack and fight a decisive battle with the Tatar cavalry! ”
Second assistant Yan Song said: "Xia Shoufu, the three major battalions in the capital took the initiative to attack? Didn't you take the initiative to give up the advantages of the capital's urban defense? ”
Xia Yan said: "Yan Cifu is so confused! Whether it is strength or morale, it is our Ming army that has the advantage! Why do you want to defend the capital? Do you want to sit back and watch the people along the way from Datong to the capital suffer from the poison of the Tatar cavalry? Do you want the flames of war to ignite in the capital and threaten the emperor? ”
The two big hats were buttoned down, and Yan Song had nothing to say.
Xia Yan's last sentence "Let the emperor be threatened?" "It's said that Emperor Jiajing's heart is in the heart! Emperor Jiajing will not let himself be threatened!
Emperor Jiajing said: "Okay, just according to what Xia Aiqing said!" The three major battalions in the capital took the initiative to attack! Since it is an initiative to attack, it is natural to choose a commander who can fight well! ”
Yan Song came out of the class and said: "The minister thinks that the metropolitan governor Chen Di is like a god in his army, and he is a rare handsome talent in my Ming Dynasty!" The minister recommended the governor Chen Di to take command of the expedition! ”
Xia Yan retorted: "Just Tatar Hu'er, why does the governor of Lao personally go to war? The minister thought that it would be enough to send Zhao Kun, the governor of the left capital of the five armies, to take command! Zhao Kun has excellent martial arts skills, and has led troops for many years, so he will definitely win! ”
Xia Yan doesn't understand military affairs. He thought that fighting a war was a simple comparison of numbers. There were 90,000 people in the three battalions of the capital, and only 40,000 in the Tatars, and he believed that the Ming Dynasty would win. He didn't want to think about it, when Chen Di was able to defeat 100,000 Japanese with more than 1,000 people, did he really rely on numbers to win the war?
Chen Di made great contributions in the battle of Zhejiang, and Yan Dang's tails rose to the sky. Now that he has this opportunity, how can Xia Yan let it go! Zhao Kun is his Xia Yan's nephew, so he is naturally a Xia party! Such a great achievement is naturally that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
To be honest, Zhao Kun is a general. Generals, it's okay to lead troops to charge. Commanding an army of 90,000 is a handsome man who needs to strategize! For this position, Zhao Kun is definitely not competent.
Emperor Jiajing tried his best to seize Chen Di's military power, how could he hand over the three major battalions of the capital, the last elite division of the Ming Dynasty, to him? Among people like Chen Di, if there is a dragon and a phoenix in the capital, if there is the military power of the three major battalions in the capital, it is easy to rebel!
Emperor Jiajing said: "This Zhao Kun, I heard that he is also cautious in using troops!" I will let Zhao Kun command the three battalions to fight! ”
Yan Song was about to open his mouth to argue, but Chen Di glanced at him and stopped him.
Chen Di understood that Emperor Jiajing would never hand over to him the three major battalions in the capital! Even if Yan Song admonishes Emperor Jiajing again, he can only touch his nose!
Chen Di could only retreat to the second, he went out and played: "Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Governor and the Governor of the Metropolitan have been fighting with Tatar in Datongwei for many years, and the minister thinks that Yu Dayou can be the deputy marshal!" ”
Chen Di didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing had long regarded Yu Dayou as a close confidant of Chen Di, the governor of the capital.
Emperor Jiajing refused: "Yu Dayou is Aiqing's right and left hand, and the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are important, and it seems that he is inseparable from him." I saw that Yu Dayou stayed in Beijing and assisted Aiqing in handling the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion! The deputy marshal is served by Yu Hejun, the general soldier of the Tianjin Guard! ”
The roots of Chen Diqi's teeth itched. The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has a fart business to deal with? The biggest business of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion now is that he and Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang get together every day to build the Great Wall!
Chen Di stopped talking and retreated into the class.
Emperor Jiajing said: "Spread the decree, seal Zhao Kun as the general of the captivity, and command the three thousand battalions, five army battalions, and Shenji battalion to fight the Tatar cavalry!" Feng Yu Hejun is the former general of the hussars and assists Zhao Kun in commanding the three major battalions! ”
"My Emperor Shengming!"
When the dynasty was dispersed, Yan Song walked up to Chen Di and whispered: "Such a great achievement, why don't you fight?" ”
Chen Di asked rhetorically: "Is it useful to fight?" ”
Prepare for the worst in everything. Yu Gong, Chen Di is the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Private, Chen Di and Zhao Kun have a lot of friendship. In both public and private, Chen Di hoped that Zhao Kun could defeat Altan Khan. But everything is afraid of what happens. The worst result was that Zhao Kun's entire army was wiped out, and there were no elite soldiers available around the capital. At that time, the capital will become a chopping block for the Tatars!
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chen Di did three things. The first thing he did was find Zhao Kun.
Zhao Kun arched his hand and said: "What is the matter with the Metropolitan Governor looking for the last general?" ”
Chen Di never hid Zhao Kun, a real person: "I begged Zhao Dudu for one thing." The three major battalions are all dispatched, and there must always be someone to guard the barracks! I hope that Zhao Dudu will be able to keep my 1,300 veterans of the Flying Tiger Army to guard the barracks. ”
Zhao Kun said: "That's it? Is this a thing? Someone has to be sent to stay behind anyway! Who is not a pie? The last general now has an army of 90,000 in his hands, and he is not short of these 1,800 men! ”
Chen Di arched his hand towards Zhao Kun: "Governor Zhao, then I thank you here!" ”
Zhao Kun is a real person, and he must do what he says! Once something happens to the three major battalions, these 1,300 veterans of the Flying Tiger Army will be the last barrier in the capital!
The second thing Chen Di did was to send Yingyu to Tianjin Weizhong to appease Madeira! In case things get to the worst, the two thousand Franc mercenaries can also be put to good use!
After doing these two things, Chen Di rushed to the military department non-stop to find the squire Jiang Guang. Jiang Guang was handling official business in the lobby of the military headquarters at this time.
Now Chen Di's official position is higher than Jiang Guang. Jiang Guang first saluted, and then asked, "What happened to the Metropolitan Governor?" ”
Chen Di said to Jiang Guang: "The three battalions are about to go on the march. They will definitely go to the manufacturing office to transfer firearms! Those old arquebuses, old Furlong cannons can be given to them. Tiger Bolts, Leech Trap Crossbows, Grenades, and Furlong Cannons, you're going to guard them for me! Don't give it to them! ”
Chen Di did this, not to make the evil force defeat Zhao Kun. Even if Zhao Kun gets this batch of firearms, he will not use them intensively. He would divide the firearms equally among the three battalions like a sprinkling of candy. Scattered use, these firearms can't exert their power at all!
A smile appeared on Jiang Guang's face: "Don't worry! Zhao Kun is Xia Yan's nephew, where he can be stuck in the neck, the military department will definitely get stuck! ”
