Chapter 170: How Can China Have No Men (Fourth Update)
Jiajing revered the heavens and cultivated Jiao, and tried his best, and there were not a few drops of rain that he prayed for, but he begged for an old enemy, and such an unlucky thing could not be put on anyone's head.
Jiajing was so angry that he couldn't even eat the dumplings, scolded the old eunuch Mai Fu for a bloody head, and ordered him to immediately summon Yan Song and Xu Jie to meet him.
What kind of virtue can Altan Khan have, how can he make the three most powerful men in the Ming Dynasty shake their heads and frown, he really has this ability......
Since Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di stepped on Mongolia, the Central Plains Dynasty has regained its ignorance and ignorance of the grassland, except for the change of the civil fort, so that the Ming Dynasty tasted the pain, in the eyes of most of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian grassland is synonymous with desert barbarism.
In fact, the survival of the steppe was more sinister, and the fighting was more ruthless, under the blow of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols were first divided into two major tribes, the Tatars and the Warats, the so-called Tatars were the direct bloodline of the Golden Family, and the ancestors of the Warats were hunters living in the jungles of the Yenisei River Valley. Its leader accepted Genghis Khan's solicitation and became a relative of the Golden Family.
This kind of active subordination gave the Warats greater autonomy and the ability to command their own people. After the collapse of the huge Yuan Dynasty and the destruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty, the Wara people gradually became stronger, and under the leadership of their leader Yexian, they won the Battle of Tumubao, seized the throne of the Golden Family, and launched a bloody massacre of the Golden Family.
First of all, because of his forgetfulness and wanton killing, his empire only lasted for a year, and after his death, the Warat Department was completely torn apart, and it could no longer constitute a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
And the Tatar ministry was in a mess. The descendants of the Golden Family continued to fight and kill, and their bloodlines were almost cut off, until one person appeared, and that was the seven-year-old Batu Mengke, whose Khan was called "Dayan Khan".
This milk doll is nothing remarkable, but he has a capable lady. That is Mandu Haihatun, Mandu Hai is 25 years older than Dayan Khan, and he is not only a husband and wife, but also a mother and son, and a monarch and minister.
It is this complicated relationship that Manduhai put the young Dayan Khan in his quiver, took her little husband to conquer the territory, and recreated the glory of the golden family.
After the southern conquest and the northern war, the Mongolian steppe was reunited. It's just that this unification is very limited, far from being as brilliant as the time of Genghis Khan. Manduhai raised seven sons for Dayan Khan and taught him to become a true khan.
Dayan Khan put an end to the turmoil in the steppes by dividing the Mongol tribes into 60,000 households, 30,000 on the left and 30,000 on the right, and gave the tribes and pastures to his sons.
Altan Khan was the third son of Dayan Khan and the second son of the right-wing 30,000 Jinong Banon Barsborot, according to Dayan Khan's regulations. The throne was passed to 30,000 households on the left wing. But there was no shortage of careerists in the steppe, after Altan Khan came of age. Led the tribe to conquer everywhere, and his strength grew more and more, and he annexed his fourth uncle's Tumut tribe, and gradually became the leader of the 30,000 households on the right wing.
Historically, the strong men of the steppe have been achieved through conquest, and Altan Khan has disdained to rob the poor cattle and sheep on the grassland, and he has set his sights on the rich and hungry Ming Dynasty.
Almost every year, you have to enter the world of flowers. Loot on a rampage and satisfy your greed.
Wherever the Mongol cavalry passed, hundreds of civilians lost their homes and were even taken captive and became slaves of the Mongols.
The Ming Dynasty continued to lose its troops. lost face and soul together.
Now Altan Khan broke through the Great Wall again, from Huairou, Shunyi south, arrived in Tongzhou, the Mongolian iron cavalry approached the heart of the empire, 100,000 cavalry, covering the sky and the sun, the heavenly kingdom is trembling, in fear!
β¦β¦
Accumulating too much elixir power, Jiajing was like an angry lion, his eyes were red and he roared angrily.
"Yan Song, I believe that you use you, is this how you treat my trust?" Jiajing asked sharply: "Listen, what are the voices outside the city, where do you put your old face?" β
Here again, Yan Song has faced Jiajing's anger more than once, he bent his knees, knelt in front of Jiajing obediently, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, the old minister and the king only have one loyalty, and what else can they do!" β
Yan Song said solemnly, Xu Jie almost spurted blood next to him, shameless, really shameless! Do you still know that you are the first assistant and the master of all officials?
Faced with a classic dialogue that was enough to go down in history, Jiajing finally couldn't hold back and laughed angrily.
"Yan Song, don't think you'll pass the test like this, I'll tell you, no, not at all!" Although Jiajing was still angry, his anger had already turned to Alta outside the city, and Yan Song escaped again.
"As the first assistant, tell me, how to fight off the Tartars?"
Yan Song's old face twitched, if he had an idea, why would he throw the old face out and let Jiajing step on it!
But when the emperor asked, he couldn't help but answer, and after thinking for a long time, Yan Song said tentatively: "The old minister thinks that this is a grain thief, and it is not enough to be troubled!" β
"Grab food?"
Jiajing's eyes were bloodshot, and he sprayed him with a face at Yan Ge Lao's foaming star.
"When I opened my eyes, I had arrived at Dongzhi Gate, and I also sent troops to attack the mausoleum of the ancestors and ancestors! Do you know that my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are not at peace in the spirit of heaven! I'm not filial, I'm guilty! β
As soon as they heard this, hula, everyone fell to their knees.
"It's the ministers (slaves and maids) who are guilty! Sin deserves death! β
"Ten thousand deaths?" Jiajing sneered: "It's enough to die once, I don't want to listen to the words of the guilt, what I want is a way, a countermeasure, and an idea to repel my answer!" β
Jiajing's roar echoed in the Yuxi Palace, the two pavilion elders looked at each other, Yan Song didn't understand military affairs, Xu Jie's strength was limited to Yan Song, and he also knew the virtue of the Beijing camp, although there were more than 100,000 in the register, but that was just fooling people, the forbidden army was actually only forty or fifty thousand, half for the old and weak, half for the internal and external governors and ministers' family envoys, lack of war equipment and armor, and have not practiced for many years, let them go to the battlefield, and send them to death.
Seeing that the two pavilion elders had no idea, Jiajing could only order to call the six departments and nine secretaries, especially Shangshu Xu Yan, who was in charge of the military department, and all the bigwigs gathered together.
Jiajing sat there, with a gloomy face, and didn't bother to say a word, Yan Song peeked at it, and had no choice but to ask questions instead of the emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called monarch and noble ministers are honored, the monarch is worried and the ministers are humiliated, and the monarch is humiliated and the ministers are dead! Beiyu has already arrived outside the city, how to deal with it, come up with a charter. β
After Yan Song finished speaking, everyone was still silent, silent for a while, and suddenly there was a loud sound of duang, duang. Jiajing held the bell hammer in his hand, and desperately struck a purple gold bell, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, shaking the big guy's ears and hurting, the emperor was already very angry, if he didn't speak, he was afraid that he would be unlucky.
As the secretary of the military department, Xu Yan slowly stood up, constantly thinking about how to deal with it, he said tentatively: "The northern captives are strong, the cavalry is fierce, and the combat power is outstanding. At present, we should strictly guard the nine gates to prevent my dog from jumping over the wall. In addition, Xiaoyu and other places are to prevent invasion, and then there is to mobilize elite soldiers and fierce generals from the nine sides to resist the northern captives......"
Xu Lun Lala talked for a long time, which seemed to be somewhat useful, but in fact it was all clichΓ© and had no new ideas. Jiajing and Yan Song both knew these methods, and they had dealt with them in the past.
But this time Jiajing's anger was stronger than ever, he didn't want to listen to ordinary methods anymore, he wanted to vent his evil anger. Helplessly, these courtiers under his command can only disappoint him, and he is extremely disappointed!
Jiajing slowly stood up and looked at these people with slanted eyes.
"A bunch of rice buckets, how did I raise you waste! Go back, think of a way, there is no way, don't come to see me again! β
The ministers all had red faces, so they had to hug their heads and run away, and suddenly Lu Bing stood up. Jiajing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Lu Bing, do you want Jinyiwei to go out of the city to fight?" β
Lu Bing grinned, how could Jinyiwei fight, it seems that the emperor is also confused. He had no choice but to pat his chest and say: "If Your Majesty has a will, even if the minister is broken, he will fight with the Beiyu!" β
Jiajing was not confused, and chuckled, "What are you making a fuss about?" If you have other ideas, just say it. β
Lu Bing smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, the ministers don't dare to hide it, how can Your Majesty forget, there is a person in the capital who is proficient in training soldiers and fighting, call him here, just ask if you can't ask if you want." β
When Jiajing heard this, his eyes lit up.
"I really forgot, McFu, you go and bring Tang Shen here."
"Slow." Lu Bing said with a smile: "Father-in-law Mai, by the way, I will also call Tang Shen's son Tang Yi, that kid is not very old, but he has a lot of ideas, and he has won the true biography of Tang Jingchuan, he is not an ordinary person." β
Jiajing nodded, "Okay, all called, I also want to see how far these waste corpses have come!" β
β¦β¦
Not long after, Tang Shen and Tang Yi came to Yuxi Palace one after another, and the two of them didn't dare to raise their heads, and knelt directly at the door.
"Minister Tang Shen (Yi) to meet my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Jiajing glanced at it, Tang Shen is an out-and-out handsome guy, Tang Yi, this kid is a little more handsome than his father, revealing a sense of spirit, and he is really a tiger father without a dog.
"Tang Shen, I called you over, do you know what it means?"
Tang Shen hurriedly replied: "Weichen heard what Father-in-law Mai said, it was for the sake of the Beiyu. β
"And what do you think?"
"I think the situation is very serious, and it is imperative to do two things well."
"What?"
"The first is to defend the capital, and the second is to find out the meaning of my answer."
The first one was ordinary, but the second one made Jiajing interested and asked, "I answered that it was nothing more than to rob, what else is there to say?" β
Tang Shen didn't speak, Tang Yi stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise, the most arrogant time for the grassland wolves is in autumn and winter, and now the water and grass are fertile in summer, and the cattle and sheep are not worried about eating and drinking. β
Jiajing suddenly brightened up and said with a smile: "Listen, none of your children understand things!" Tell me, what to do? β
"Your Majesty, it's best to send an envoy who is familiar with the situation to investigate."
Jiajing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and muttered: "This is the Longtan Tiger's Den, who has the courage to do this?" β
"How can China have no boys!" Tang Yi said with a smile: "Xiao Chen knows one, but I don't know if His Majesty is willing to use it?" (To be continued.) )
