Intelligence about Chahar Lindan inadvertently saved the Manchurian Khan Abahai.

Originally, the two brothers Mang Gurtai and the three brothers Azig agreed that Abahai would do it as soon as he arrived in Zhangjiakou. Now that Chahar suddenly appeared, Mang Gurtai quickly sent information from the battalion, demanding that the blue flag and the two white flags should focus on the overall situation, and wait for the Manchurian army to defeat Chahar.

The information about Chahar Lindan also inadvertently saved the Datong general soldiers.

According to Zhang Tinggong's arrangement, the Manchurian army marched outside the Great Wall, and Ma Zongbing followed up synchronously in the Great Wall with his family. Wherever the Manchurian army went, pomegranate mines were deployed.

Shoukou Fort and Xinping Fort belong to Datong Zhenyang and Dao, which is the newly repaired side wall of the Ming army in the Wanli period to advance the defense line. In other words, there are two Great Wall defense lines in Yang and the Daoming Army. One is the new Great Wall along Shoukou Fort and Xinping Fort, and the other is the old Great Wall along the original Wayao Fort.

When the Manchurian army arrived at this dangerous place, it was time for the Datong general army to gradually have a showdown.

Kurzen led his escorts to the castle to inquire about the news.

The garrison of Shoukou Fort, accompanied by Man Geese, climbed the Great Wall and shouted:

"The Manchurian soldiers below have listened, Governor Xuanda has not heard back, you can come back in a few days."

Kul Chan suddenly became angry:

"Yanghe City is only fifty miles away, how can there be no response from the Governor of Xuanda? It is clear that you are deliberately delaying. ”

The garrison of Shoukou Fort argued: "The governor of Xuanda went to Shanxi to suppress bandits, and it will take several days for the official documents to come and go!" ”

Kuhlzen was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.

"Don't be in a hurry," the garrison shouted, "Here is a letter from the chief soldier of my family, you can bring it back and hand it over." ”

Kurchan returned to the Chinese army with the letter, and Abahai opened it.

The letter stated that the governor of Xuanda suddenly received an assignment from the emperor and rushed to Shanxi Town to quell the rebellion of the exiles. The general army of Datong did not know about this a few days ago.

Despite this, the military affairs of Xuanda according to the order were still at the discretion of the governor of Xuanda. The general army of Datong has sent the official document to Shanxi by fast horse, and the governor will reply within three or four days at most, hoping that Manchurian Khan will wait patiently.

Abahai was so angry that he threw the letter on the ground.

Abahai had the intention to send a large army to the city. Fort Shoukou is not an unusual place.

To get to Fort Shoukou, the army must first cross a river. The fort was built on the mountain, and it was difficult for the army to deploy in the mountains.

Abahai angrily ordered: The whole army will move to Xinping Fort!

On 20 June, the Manchurian army set up a joint camp in the grassland outside Xinpingbao, stretching for dozens of miles, and the momentum was surging, approaching the Great Wall.

Datong Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Manchurian soldiers arrived here, even if they broke through the Great Wall, there was still a mountain to the south. There is also a fort on the mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is also the second Great Wall defense line of Wayao Fort in the south of the mountain. Even if the Manchurian soldiers crossed the mountain, they had to kill the heavily guarded Tiancheng City and Yanghe City before they could reach Datong.

Unless the Manchurian army breaks through the Great Wall and turns to break through to the east.

- That's not about Datong Town.

Twenty miles east of Xinpingbao belongs to Xuanzhen.

Xinpingbao garrisoned one general on Xinping Road, one garrison in Xinpingbao, and a total of seven Chinese army thousands. The garrison of the flag army is 1,642 people, plus the family members of the general army, the total strength reaches 2,000 people.

General Xinpinglu, who received Kurchan, reversed the humility and caution of the previous Ming army, and arrogantly blamed Manchukuo for such a big thing, why was it impatient?

Manchukuo's speech and letter made it clear that it was limited to 10 days. The letter was sent on June 13, and now it is only June 20, why is the Manchurian army approaching the city in less than a few days?

Manchukuo clearly has no sincerity in peacemaking!

Kurchan sent the news back to the camp, and the opinions of Manchurian Taiji were immediately divided into three factions.

One faction advocated an immediate attack on Xinping Fort, and after the breach, it was massacre and plundered.

One faction advocated stationing troops for three days, and waiting until the end of the 10th day to teach the south a lesson.

One faction advocated that Chahar should hide in the shadows, and it was not appropriate to attack the fortifications and lose troops now, and it was advisable to rush to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible to join forces with Azig.

Abahai thought about it again and again and decided to garrison the troops for three days. As soon as the ten-day deadline arrives, Manchukuo will be benevolent and righteous, and he will be famous at that time. The intention of this battle is not to break the gap, but to teach the southern scoundrels a lesson.

June 22, the last day of the ten-day period.

There was tension inside and outside the Great Wall of Xinpingbao, and Manchurian Khan issued an ultimatum, and when the time came, Xinpingbao was bloodied, and the responsibility was completely in the south.

Outside the Great Wall, the Manchurian army was in full array, and all kinds of military artillery were aimed at the city.

On the Great Wall, the Ming army looked solemn, and all kinds of iron cannons in the black hole were aimed at the city.

A big war is inevitable.

The goose drank two bottles of soju and climbed the Great Wall with two pomegranates in his hand.

Man Goose explained to the general of Xinping Road: "This time I won't come back if I leave." Remember to bury my body with Man Shuai. ”

The general nodded, "Full goose, leave a full name." ”

"The surname is Man, and it is called Goose."

"No, full goose. Isn't Man Shuai a Mongolian, Man Gui is a Mongolian name, why did he become a surname? ”

"Nonsense!"

A mouthful of wine full of goose.

"Man Shuai is an authentic ancestral home in Yanzhou, Shandong. Han surname Man! ”

During the Chongzhen period, Yan Song's great-grandson Yan Yuncong impeached Man Gui and called him a Mongol; Man Gui insisted that he was a Han native of Yi County, Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province (now Zaozhuang City), and that he held a hereditary military position in Xuanzhen.

The Ming government convicted Yan Yuncong of false accusations and convicted him. However, when the Qing Dynasty revised the History of the Ming Dynasty, Man Gui was still listed as a Mongol. As everyone knows, the surname "Man" is a unique Han surname in Shandong.

While the two were talking, they suddenly found that the Manchurian army had strangely retreated!

Kurchan approached the Great Wall alone on his horse and shouted to the general of Xinpingbao:

"The generals in the city have listened, I have apologized to you here!"

The goose and the general were suddenly in a fog and didn't know what to do.

Kurchan shouted loudly: "Your Xuanzhen has sent a message, and is willing to make peace with Manchukuo, return to us all the property that Zhangjiakou rewarded Chahar, and invite us to go to Zhangjiakou for trade." We blamed you for the first two days, so don't care! ”

Kurchan said that he would withdraw like a tide of Manchurian troops.

Man Goose and the general glanced at each other and flew to report to the general army in the fort.

Ma Zongbing is equally unbelievable.

How can it be!

How could Xuanzhen make peace with Dong Dazi alone!

Xuanzhen's governor, chief soldier, and eunuch, were their brains kicked by a donkey?

Or was the head of the Manchurian Khan kicked by a donkey?

It doesn't matter what kind of medicine is sold in the Manchurian soldiers' gourd. The Manchurian soldiers really retreated.

After that, the Manchurian soldiers immediately pulled out the camp and left Datong Town on the same day.

Ma Zongbing was in a trance for a while.

Could it be that the days of peace have really come again?

……

It turned out that just moments before Abahai ordered the siege of the city, Azig's messenger arrived.

Azig's messenger insisted that the Zhangjiakou officials had agreed to return all Chahar's rewards to Manchukuo and invited Manchukuo to come to Zhangjiakou for trade and exchange.

Mutual market!

Abahai has been looking forward to this day for five years!

Manchukuo forced the south to make peace, and what it wanted was to exchange markets with the south!

The Zhangjiakou officials invited Manchukuo to go to Zhangjiakou for trade and mutual markets, which means that they have completely agreed to make peace, but the details have yet to be agreed!

Abahai's hands trembled with excitement, and he confirmed to Azig's messenger in a loud voice: "Have you figured it out? If you lie that I have beheaded you, all your families will be sent into slavery! ”

The messenger replied in a loud voice: "There will be no mistake! The existing list of Chahar rewards in Zhangjiakou is proof! ”

Abahai took the list and glanced at it quickly. List Reads:

Counting the number of property returned to Zhangjiakou:

Lama Zhao also made two hundred and one python satin, five hundred and seventy-five supplementary satin, two thousand two hundred and twenty-seven red satin, sixty-four Japanese satin, twelve brown silk, sixty-nine tiger skins, nine leopard skins, four hundred and sixty fox skins, and four thousand four hundred and seventy-three otter skins;

There are also five hundred and seventy-six satins, two hundred and forty otter skins, twenty-five fox skins, ten tiger and leopard skins, and two hundred and seventy buns of various colors;

In addition, there are forty-seven red satins, fourteen satins, twelve satins of various colors, eighty otter skins, one thousand nine hundred green cloths of Buddha heads, twenty-six plain satins, fifty red felts, five hundred and thirty cloths, and two hundred and seven blankets. There were 4,385 satins, 2,430 green cloths and cloths for Buddha's heads, 12 brown seeds, 4,793 otter skins, 495 fox skins, 79 tiger skins, 9 leopard skins, 277 blankets, and 50 red felts.

Abahai was scared into a cold sweat.

Almost made a big mistake!

If the envoy is one step late, once the Manchurian army begins to attack, the opportunity to talk about peace will be all yellow!

Abahai issued urgent orders one after another, the Manchurian army withdrew from the camp, and Kurchan went to apologize to Datong Town, and his attitude must be sincere.
