Chapter 241: Class Teacher Datong
Chi Kun was furious in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info This means that there is just no Tatar department that squeezes Uliangha, and there is another Ming who squeezes Uliangha!
Isn't this a bamboo basket for water?
But although he was angry in his heart, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak! At the beginning, the Tatar tribe was strong and rampant in the steppe. In order to protect his clan, he had to aggrieve the Tatars against his players.
With more than 10,000 people, the Flying Tiger Army defeated Altan Khan, who had 120,000 iron horsemen, which was more than ten times more terrifying than the Tatars' combat power!
It's a simple arithmetic problem! Chi Kun is not stupid, he knows that the Flying Tiger Army can wipe out the Wuliang Ha clan with just a few fingers!
However, Chi Kun obviously wanted to bargain with Chen Di: "Governor, it is a great grace for you to give us the territory of Tatar and Warat. I get it. Can it be three million taels of silver a year? 30,000 war horses? It's also too γγγγγ Too much, right? The war horse is okay, three million taels of silverγγγγγ There is no silver on the grassland! β
Chen Di smiled: "The Ministry Khan wants to say that the silver of the Mongolian tribes was stolen from the Ming Dynasty. There is the Flying Tiger Army, a division of tigers and wolves, and your Mongolian departments will not have the ability to grab silver from Daming in the future, where will you get together three million taels, right? β
Chi Kun was half frightened to death by Chen Di's words: "Don't dare, don't dareγγγγγγ Our Uliang Habe has been friendly with the Ming since the Yongle period of the Ming Kingdom, and has never had the ambition of a wolf like Altan Khan. β
Chen Di smiled: "Wuliang Habu was indeed a friend of my Ming Dynasty when he accompanied Grandpa Cheng to fight in the south and north. Although the grassland does not produce silver, the border horse market is still open. You Uliangha can exchange cattle, sheep, and horses for silver with my merchants of the Ming Dynasty. If three million taels is too much... Two million taels! Just two million taels! No matter how little, I can't explain to the court! β
Chen Di's words are too fake, what is the imperial court? Now he Chen Di is the imperial court! The court is him Chen Di!
Chikun calculated in his heart that the land of Warat and Tatar was ten times that of the Ulianghabe. If the entire Mongolian steppe is occupied, the Uliangha will surely prosper. When it accumulates a certain amount of strength, the Uliang Habu can directly get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty!
Chi Kun nodded: "Okay, since the Metropolitan Governor said so, we Wuliang Habu can only obey the order." β
Chi Kun was about to leave, but Chen Di stopped him: "There is one more thing." Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a Beiting Protectorate in the grassland. Now that the Tatars have fallen, I plan to re-establish the Beiting Protectorate in Wolf Mountain. I will leave a thousand Flying Tiger Army to be stationed in Wolf Mountain for a long time! β
Chikun's wishful thinking has failed again! Chen Di doing this is equivalent to setting a nail beside him! As long as he moves, this nail can be plunged straight into his heart at any time.
Although Chi Kun was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only accept it. Who made the Flying Tigers like wolves?
On April 18, the 26th year of Jiajing, Chen Di led the Flying Tiger Army to escort 40,000 Tatar prisoners and Altan Khan himself back to Datongwei. In Wolf Mountain, he left a thousand Flying Tiger troops to monitor the movements of the Uliang Habu. When he returns to Beijing, he will appoint a governor as the supreme official of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to manage the grassland instead of the imperial court!
Zhang Ke, the chief soldier of the Datong Guard, led the Datong Guard Army and the civil and military officials of Datong to welcome the Governor of Dadu!
Hundreds of years later, historians of the Ming Dynasty called Chen Di's Northern Expedition "Ding Wei's Northern Expedition".
In Datong, in addition to the civil and military officials, there were also acting king Zhu Chonghui and Jin king Zhu Chongyao.
After Emperor Hongwu founded the country, he wantonly divided his sons to various places to become vassals. These princes were called vassal kings. They owned large amounts of land in their respective domains, and they did not have to pay a tael of silver to the imperial court. Therefore, these people are all rich.
Today's acting king Zhu Chonghui is the poorest vassal king in the entire Ming Dynasty. The reason is very simple, his domain is in Datong. The land in his hand is all in Datong. Datong has been in trouble for many years, and his land will not bring him any benefits at all!
Last year, Tatar entered the Kou, and he fled directly to Taiyuan with his family. The Jin King Zhu Chongyao's domain is in Taiyuan, and he, the king brother, takes good care of the fallen king.
In terms of title, Chen Di is the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, the captain of the horse, and he has to salute when he sees the two vassal kings.
Chen Di was about to kneel towards the acting king and the king of Jin, but the two princes stopped Chen Di. Although the two of them are in other provinces, they have eyes and ears in Beijing. They know that Chen Di is now the real controller of the government, and even Emperor Jiajing himself was toyed with by Chen Di, and Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, wanted to let Chen Di score three points!
King Jin opened his mouth: "The governor of the capital doesn't have to be polite!" This time, the Metropolitan Governor swept the grassland with 10,000 troops, annihilated countless enemies, and captured the enemy chieftain, which is really the work of everything! This king is in Shanxi, and he wants to thank the governor of Shanxi on behalf of the people of Shanxi Province! You let them never have to worry about the saber of the steppe barbarians again! β
Seeing that Brother Wang had already slapped Chen Di's sycophant, he was not to be outdone: "That's right, that's right!" Ahem, it's disgusting to say that! The king can't even stay in his own domain! This time, the capital governor built the defense and Huo Zhigong, which is really the blessing of my Ming court and the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty! β
Chen Di was not interested in the beautiful words of the acting king and the king of Jin. He shook his head and said, "The two princes said something wrong. β
The king asked, "What is it?" β
Chen Di replied: "Altan Khan is not an enemy chieftain, but my sworn worship Anda!" In our Ming words, it is a god brother! He complied with the mandate of heaven and took the initiative to lead his troops to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, and his credit is really not small. I'm going to ask the court to make him a Prince! β
Chen Di's words are also fake. What is in accordance with the destiny of heaven? If it weren't for the more than 10,000 muskets of the Flying Tiger Army, Altan Khan would not have responded to the mandate of heaven at all! It's almost the same as sealing him as a Shun Gonggong.
Chen Di called Altan Khan: "Two princes, this is the enemy chief in your mouth, the future obedient duke of the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan!" β
Altan Khan embarrassedly arched his hand towards the two princes: "I have seen the two princes." β
The acting king and the king of Jin patted the horse's legs and felt bored.
Zhang Ke, the chief soldier of the Datong Guard, came up: "The last general will see the Governor of Dadu!" β
Yu Dayou had a gap with Zhang Ke many years ago when he was in Datong Wei Congrong, and he looked down on Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke, who sat in a high position as the general soldier of a town by slipping his beard and beating horses. I can't see him when I was fighting, but I didn't get up to him when I won the battle, and I really hated it.
Chen Di also has no good impression of Zhang Ke. He ignored Zhang Ke, but asked in a loud voice, "Where is Zhao Laogen, the commander of the Flying Tiger Arms Battalion?" β
Zhao Laogen tied a bandage on his right hand, and responded loudly: "The end will be!" β
Zhao Laogen held back 5,000 Tatar cavalry on the banks of the Juliu River, and after the victory, Hu Zongxian sent someone to order him to return to Datongwei with 150 musketeers who had run out of ammunition.
Chen Di said loudly: "Everyone saw it, right? This is the great hero who led the 300 Flying Tiger Army to block the 5,000 Tatar iron cavalry at the Juliu River! When he ran out of ammunition and food, not only did he not retreat, but led 300 foot soldiers to launch a counter-charge against the cavalry nearly ten times his size! It's as tough as a rock on the banks of the mighty river!
Zhao Laogen is worthy of the imperial court and the Flying Tiger Army! His courage deserves the awe of all of us! At present, we have not yet returned to Beijing, and we have not yet begun to discuss meritorious deeds. But I can tell you right now, Zhao Laogen, for your heroic performance in the Battle of the Juliu River, you will be awarded the Order of the Sun and Moon of the First Class! β
Zhao Laogen didn't know that the "Giant River Rock" in Chen Di's mouth would be called his nickname in the army in the future. This nickname will accompany him for the rest of his life!
