Chapter 162: Death Horse? Bah!

Before he marched into the army, Altan Khan sent an envoy named Dari Rachi to the Ming Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Jiajing summoned this Dari Lachi in the Fengtian Temple.

Dari Lachi stood in the center of the Fengtian Temple, proudly looking at Emperor Jiajing.

Xia Yan said angrily: "Bold Fanbang envoy! Why didn't you kneel when you saw my emperor? ”

Dari Rachi actually laughed loudly, and the laughter made the ministers in the Fengtian Temple creepy.

Dazhila Equator: "We have a saying in the steppe. Tell the tiger to kneel only to the eagle! The elite of your Ming Dynasty army has been completely wiped out by my Great Khan, and the current Ming Dynasty is more like a bird that knows how to chirp! Why does a tiger kneel down to a bird? ”

Xia Yan was speechless for a while.

Yan Song asked: "Come to the envoy, what do you have to do in the capital?" ”

Dazhila Equator: "Naturally, I will bring a message to your emperor on behalf of our Great Khan!" ”

Yan Song asked, "What kind of message?" ”

Dazhila Equator: "Our Great Khan said, let us strike the army, but there are a few conditions!" ”

Emperor Jiajing had his eyes closed just now. Hearing Dari Rachi say that the Tatars could strike their troops, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes.

Lu Fang stood beside Emperor Jiajing, he had served Emperor Jiajing for decades, how could he not know Emperor Jiajing's thoughts?

Lu Fang said: "Come on, what conditions?" Say it! ”

Dazhila Equator: "There are three conditions. First, the Ming Kingdom cut a province of Shanxi to Tatar! Shanxi will be our winter pasture for Tatar in the future! Second, the Ming State was a vassal to the Tatars and paid tribute every year. Tribute silver, two million taels a year! In addition, 30,000 horses of silk and 50,000 horses of cotton cloth will be tributed! Third, the border market between the Ming and Tatars was opened, and the Tatar caravans could freely enter and exit the Ming border! Fourth, I heard that there is a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg in the crown of the emperor, and the Ming Kingdom wants to dedicate this night pearl to my Great Khan. Fifth, I heard that there is a princess in Daming who is as beautiful as a flower, but unfortunately she is married to a wife. The Great Khan demanded that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom immediately give Princess Xiaoyan's horse to death, and send Princess Xiaoyan to the grassland as a side Khan concubine! ”

"Arrogance!"

"Bold!"

"Rude!"

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, closed his eyes in disappointment. Where are these caustic conditions put forward by Dari Rachi for the purpose of negotiating peace? It's clearly to humiliate him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Da Ri La Equator: "Hmph, my Tatar iron cavalry will attack the capital of your Ming Kingdom soon!" If you don't agree to these conditions, the Ming Kingdom will wait for the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species! ”

Xia Yan said: "Come on, drag this arrogant Hu Er down and behead him!" ”

Yan Song stopped: "Xia Shoufu, the two countries are fighting, don't kill them!" ”

Xia Yan said: "Hu'er, you go back and tell your Great Khan that my Ming still has 30,000 guards in Zhili, and these 30,000 heavenly soldiers will let him know what the prestige of the Ming Dynasty is!" ”

Dazhila Equator: "Haha, good! When I destroy these 30,000 pigs, the envoy will come to the capital again! At that time, there will be more than these conditions for peace negotiation! ”

Dazhirachi walked out of the main hall laughing wildly.

Emperor Jiajing didn't want to listen to the useless quarrels of the courtiers anymore, so he directly gave Lu Fang a color.

Lu Fang said in a loud voice: "Scatter the dynasty!" ”

The arrogance of Dari Rachi comes from the 40,000 brave and warlike Tatar iron horsemen!

On June 25, the 25th year of Jiajing, the army of Zhili Weisuo and the Tatars engaged in a battle in Wuning Mansion. It was only three hours before the army was wiped out!

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shocked!

In the entire capital, except for 2,000 guards and 800 brocade guards, there are no soldiers to send! These 3,000 people are guarding the palace, so they can't be sent to the front line, right? Besides, even if these 3,000 people are sent to the front line, it is not enough for tens of thousands of Tatar iron horsemen to stuff their teeth!

A court meeting is being held in the Fengtian Temple. The officials were all mourning.

There is only one topic on the agenda of this meeting: whether to make peace or move the capital south!

Zhao Zihui said: "The minister thinks that Nanjing is the capital of my Ming Dynasty, and it is justifiable to return Nanjing!" ”

Jiang Guang objected: "Still the capital of Nanjing? Do you want the emperor to learn Song Gaozong? Grandpa Cheng once had a testament, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! Do you want the emperor to violate Grandpa Cheng's teachings and be charged with disloyalty and filial piety? ”

Xia Yan came out of the class and said: "Jiang Guang, don't forget, Grandpa Cheng's testament is that the Ming Dynasty will not be in harmony, will not pay compensation, will not cede land, will not be called a minister, and will not pay tribute!" Now, if you don't move south, will it be possible to make peace with the Tatars? The demands of the Tatars for peace were the title of ministers, tribute, land cession, indemnity, and harmony! ”

Jiang Guang retorted: "Xia Shoufu, I just said that I couldn't move south, and I didn't say that I wanted to make peace with the Tatars!" ”

Xia Yan said: "You mean that you will neither move the capital nor make peace?" Do you want to wait for the Tatars to enter the capital and wait for the Ming Dynasty to fall? Emperor Qi, if you move south, I still have half of the Ming Dynasty, I only need to gather troops from the south, and it is only a matter of time before I recover the lost territory! ”

Emperor Jiajing has never expressed his position, in fact, his heart is conflicted at this time. Ancient emperors valued their face more than the people of the world! If he moves south or makes peace, sooner or later he will be written into history as a faint king! Don't move south, don't make peace? His life is in danger again! Emperor Jiajing himself couldn't make up his mind for a while!

The second assistant Yan Song finally spoke: "Your Majesty, there is no need to think about peace, and there is no need to consider moving south!" How can the Ming Dynasty be bullied by the Tatars! There is only one way to fight to the death! One can turn the tide and defeat the Tatars! ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh? Who? ”

Yan Song replied: "Marquis Zhenhai, Chen Di, the commander of the horses!" ”

Xia Yan sneered: "Chen Di? That Chen Di who is suspected of rebellion? That corrupt Chen Di? ”

Yan Song was not to be outdone: "Rebellion and corruption and bribery were all framed by Xia Shoufu and your henchmen, right?" ”

At such a critical moment, Yan Song had to tear his face with Xia Yan in the court.

Xia Yan said: "It's nonsense, Chen Dina's bribery is conclusive evidence!" Although there is no evidence of rebellion, it is not groundless! ”

Emperor Jiajing finally couldn't stand Xia Yan, a clown who jumped off the beam! It was he who suggested that the three major battalions abandon the defense line of the capital and take the initiative to attack, and he was the one who recommended Zhao Kun to be in command! He was the one who snatched Chen Di's military power and put him under house arrest! If he had handed over the three battalions to Commander Chen Di at the beginning, why would the battle situation be like this?

The emperor will not make mistakes, and in Emperor Jiajing's heart, he has put all the responsibility on Xia Yan!

"Xia Yan, shut up! Retire! Emperor Jiajing ordered.

How could the Fengtian Temple court discuss without the presence of the first assistant of the cabinet? Emperor Jiajing ordered Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet, to step down, which was a huge insult to Xia Yan.

"Your Majesty?" Xia Yan was suspicious.

"Stand down! Do you want the guards to drag you down? Emperor Jiajing said angrily.

Xia Yanzhi withdrew from the Fengtian Hall in a gloomy manner.

Emperor Jiajing asked Yan Song: "Yan Cifu, do you say that Chen Di can turn the tide of the war?" Defeat the Tatars? But the capital has no troops to send! It will take some time for the guest troops from the provinces to reach the capital. ”

Yan Song said: "The minister is dead!" This morning, I had a private exchange with Chen Di, the minister of crime! ”

After Yan Song finished speaking, he knelt down and held a piece of paper above his head with both hands.

Lu Fang took the piece of paper and handed it to Emperor Jiajing.

I saw that the paper read, "Don't panic! Beijing and Tianjin Wei each have a division of tigers and wolves. When the two armies of tigers and wolves gather, they can break the Tartars! ”

Emperor Jiajing seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and seemed to grasp a life-saving straw. He ordered: "Lu Bing, immediately go to the Horse Mansion to deliver the decree, I want to summon Chen Di in this Fengtian Palace!" ”
