Chapter 654: The First Meeting Zhang Yin (II)
"White Lotus Sect Master, this is indeed difficult to say, Li Fuda's martial arts are world-famous, I have also heard of it." Yang Chengzu has limited materials about Li Fuda, but there is a common saying that it is all his martial arts, and he is indeed the best in the world. Leng Feishuang was able to escape from his hands, which can only prove that the art industry is excellent, not a shame.
"But I said, Li Fuda's martial arts are so high, it's normal that you can't beat him. But this doesn't make any sense, just take my house as an example, when it comes to fighting, there must be no one who is his opponent. But if he comes, I will gamble all my possessions, and if he can't see my people, he will be killed by my men. So, you might as well tell him who he is, and then I'll help you solve him, you see. ”
Leng Feishuang shook her head, "It's useless." Jinyiwei has thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, but he can't catch him, why should you? He has a lot of identities, and he can change them at any time, and the few I know, he must no longer use them. What's the point of me saying it? The reason why I didn't come to your house is because I met him when I entered Beijing, and I came to help you bodyguard, so I can't cause you trouble. Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, although your house is impregnable, but if Li Fuda is plotting, it will inevitably be damaged. So I had no choice but to flee, thinking about luring him away, but I met the Mongols without dying, and I wanted to avoid them and Li Fuda, but I still didn't avoid them. But after going around in a circle, I finally came back. ”
Yang Chengzu laughed, his fingers lightly swiped on Leng Feishuang's palm, "What is this called?" It's called fate. We proved that there is fate, no matter how far away we are, we can still meet together in the end, and we can't avoid it. People must respect the will of heaven and not go against it. As for Li Fuda, when I met him, I gave an order, and thousands of troops and horses stepped on him together, and trampled him to death. ”
"Okay, my injuries are fine, you don't have to worry about me, go about your business. There are so many northern captives outside the city, and if you drive them away one day earlier, Daming will be able to live in peace one day earlier. ”
When Yang Chengzu walked out of the door, Leng Feishuang breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly muttered in his heart: I'm sorry.
When he came to the front, Red Peony handed over Zhang Yin's name sticker and gift list, Yang Chengzu had really heard of this person. It is said that a Taiyuan avant-garde three-rank commander is not qualified to let him remember, but during the siege of the Mongols this time, Zhang Yin, who came to the Beijing Division to report on his work, fought with the captives, and there were three people.
Although this military exploit was suppressed by the Ministry of War, it was reported to Yang Chengzu and the emperor through the intelligence system of Jinyiwei. Based on this, Yang Chengzu also had some impressions of this person, but he didn't know what this military attache was going to do when he came to his house.
When I met, I saw that this Zhang Yin was a man in his fifties with an honest face, and his appearance looked a little like Maitreya Buddha in the temple, which made it easy for people to have a good impression of him. Looking at his behavior, he looked like an old peasant who went to the city to catch the market, showing a little cramped and uneasy.
Yang ...... Yang Tishuai, I came from a small place, a countryman, I haven't seen the world, don't laugh at me. I have a stupid brain, I can't read, I have practiced some martial arts, I have a few pounds of stupid strength, and I want to rely on my strength to eat. With the help of relatives at home, I made up for my military position, relying on my courage, not afraid of death, and also a little military merit. This is nothing in the Beijing Division, and I also know that this time I came to the military department to report on my work, and I also knew the rules and brought filial piety. But...... But the old man of this military department has too much appetite, and so far, there is no news, I heard that you are the first to have a way in Beijing, please help me more. I know that the things in this capital are expensive, and the countrymen can't take anything, so be careful, please smile. ”
There are a lot of things on the gift list, but except for some silk that is barely valuable, the others are actually good pork, mutton, grouse, and even more than 200 catties of vegetables and more than 200 catties of polished rice, which can indeed only be regarded as a little caution. Zhang Yin said proudly
"We countrymen give gifts, the most affordable, the current thieves besiege the city, the most lacking is food. This thing is a good thing to quench hunger. I know that your family has a large population, and the food sent may be small, but it doesn't matter, the small one lives in the old store of Liansheng, and you don't have enough food to eat, send someone to say it, and the villain will send it to you immediately. I am a military general, I have strength, I can carry and move, and I am not afraid of hardship. What kind of work do you have at home, just command, plastering and carpentry, the villain will do it. ”
"I have a heart. But you better take these gifts back. When the thief retreats, the merit of the discussion, the affirmation of the meeting, long live will not treat a meritorious person lightly. If you give a gift, I'm going to turn my face. ”
The two excused themselves, and in the end Zhang Yin had no choice but to let people carry these heavy gifts out, and when he walked to the door, he couldn't stop kowtowing to Yang Chengzu, and praised the Qing officials repeatedly. When the people were sent away, Yang Chengzu shook his head, "Stupid, no wonder you can't be promoted to an official position, take these things as filial piety, don't be scolded by the people in the military department, and it's good to tell fortunes." ”
Zhang Yin waited out of the street, and the expression on his face gradually returned to normal, but his face was kind, no matter what his expression, it made people feel like he was laughing. "Yang Chengzu, sure enough, is a greedy for money, and when he saw that there were few gifts, he threw them out directly. Such a person has a limited pattern and is not enough to worry about, and it seems that I am still too worried. ”
Seeing that on the road, the expressions of the people were mostly normal, and they did not feel frightened because of the siege of the city, and they did not hear much complaint before the grain line. He had no choice but to sigh secretly: It seems that this time in Jingshi, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything. However, if you can attract Daming's eyes to the grassland, it can be regarded as a success, and I don't know what future I can get in exchange for this gift.
Two days later, I don't know where the news first leaked out, but the news soon spread throughout the capital: the Mongol army has retreated!
When this news first spread, the princes in the court only regarded it as some trick by the envoy of the northern captivity, and still ordered to hold on, and not to fight or pursue. This is also the evil result of the previous tactics of shrinkage, resulting in no grasp of the military situation of the Mongols, and it is impossible to make judgments.
However, there are still people who want to take credit, and more and more people go out of the city to find people's heads, and there are more military information, and the thieves are indeed retreating. By noon, the information on the imperial court was gradually detailed. It seems that there is some disagreement within the Beiyu, a few people have set up camp and returned to the grassland, and some tribes have changed to plunder other places and do not continue to wander around the Jingshi.
The discipline of these nomadic tribes was far from being comparable to that of an agrarian civilization like the Ming Dynasty, and the authority of the Great Khan was forcibly established by the force at his disposal. For example, this time 100,000 iron cavalry broke through Gubeikou, on the one hand, it was the pressure of winter, and on the other hand, it was the initial completion of Dabanshengcheng, which increased the influence of Bodi's tribe.
But now that the army is under the fortified city, facing the high walls and thick walls, it is not even necessary to think about breaking the city. I want to talk to Da Ming, but Da Ming's attitude is completely capable, you will fight, even if you can't beat you, I won't talk to you. These tribal leaders don't want to spend any longer, everyone is here to get rich, not to waste time, and with this time, it is better to find another place to make a fortune.
There are fewer and fewer thieves outside the city, and the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and the momentum is unabated, anyway, there are so many refugees in the city, and it is relatively easy for the officers to find someone to replenish the troops, so they are very active.
Compared with the two, the Mongols are actually the real people who can't afford to die, and this kind of desperate consumption is not in the interests of the Mongols.
In the Qianqing Palace, the cabinet and the emperor jointly issued an order that all units of the Beijing camp and the army should strictly guard the garrison and not pursue it easily. Ordered the armies of the nine sides to attack the thieves in the defensive area, so that they could not return to the north. Soon after this order was issued, the internal self-purge of the Ming Dynasty also began in full swing. It's autumn, the wind is up, the leaves are falling!
