At the critical moment when Ningyuan City was surrounded on both sides, which distinguished guest was Yuan Chonghuan accompanying? It turned out that the Kingdom of Korea sent two envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask the Ming to restrain Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River. Mao Wenlong sat on the Dongjiang River and protected the security of North Korea, but his protection fee was also really high, and he went to the palace in Seoul every once in a while to ask for money and food.

Of course, the king of North Korea did not dare to offend Mao Wenlong, and did not complain, but sent an envoy to Daming in the name of helping. They told Mao Wenlong that they were willing to help him transport the severed head of the Jiannu to Liaodong, and to explain the truth of the war to the envoy of Jiliao Jinglu, and ask for a reward for him. Mao Wenlong's temper is not very good, there are countless political enemies in the DPRK and China, and the successive envoys of Jiliao cannot get along with him, every time he sends a head to receive a reward, he is always picked three or four, not that the head is a fake Jiannu, that is, the age of Jiannu is too old, and it is a fluke to receive half of the reward every time. Hearing that the king of Joseon was willing to help him, Mao Wenlong naturally agreed, and sent his own soldiers to escort the envoy to Liaodong with 178 heads.

The Korean envoys didn't know that Gao Di, the envoy of Jiliao Jingluo, didn't dare to go to Liaodong in person, but controlled it remotely at Shanhaiguan, so they pounced in Ningyuan. By the time they asked the truth and were about to go to Shanhaiguan, Jiannu had already surrounded Ningyuan City. Seeing that Jiannu's army was strong, the Korean envoys turned pale with fright and trembled.

Yuan Chonghuan laughed and said, "Distinguished guests, please relax, I will let you see how Jiannu broke the city of Ningyuan." ”

At this time, the pro-soldiers reported that Jiannu had sent an envoy to come.

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, then went out and climbed the city wall to meet the Jiannu envoy. The Korean envoys hurriedly followed out to see how the Ming ministers received the arrogant Jiannu, and they could learn a thing or two.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan coming, Jin Qiliang withdrew his futile gaze. Said: "Lord Yuan, seeing what the Jiannu envoy is doing, it is better to give him an arrow and let him go to the king of Hades to be a lobbyist." ”

"Hey-" Yuan Chonghuan said earnestly, "I can understand Lord Jin's desire to serve the country, but the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Thou shalt not lose my manners in the presence of the barbarian state. It's easy to kill him, and when it's time for a siege, give him a shot. Our cannons are infinitely powerful, and they are all powdered. Lord Kim doesn't have to rush either. ”

Jin Qiliang nodded, and Han Yuan, the interpreter of the Korean envoy, translated Yuan Chonghuan's words to the envoy, and the envoy nodded loudly, and hurriedly wrote down the notes to report to the Korean king. Hangul was created in the fifteenth century. Most North Korean officials now know how to write, but most North Koreans pride themselves on being able to write Chinese. The envoy was a Korean nobleman, of course, recorded in Chinese. Although the North Koreans speak very differently from the Ming Dynasty, there is not much difference in the way they write. Yuan Chonghuan glanced at the records of the Korean envoys, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his reputation finally spread to Fanbang.

Yuan Chonghuan shouted to the city: "The envoy from Jianzhou below, what do you want to say to this official?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan's voice was already loud. At this time, he shouted again, and his voice was like thunder. frightened the North Korean envoys beside him and his entourage, and praised the majesty of the Ming ministers.

The traitor Yang Yanyu plucked up his courage and shouted loudly: "I brought a handwritten letter from the Great Khan of the Great Qing Dynasty, let me enter the city, and I personally present the letter." ”

Yuan Chonghuan didn't dare to open the city gate, of course. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Jin Qiliang has ordered people to block the three city gates in the southwest and north with earth and stones, but the east gate has not been blocked. He calculated that once Jiannu attacked Juehua Island, Ning Yuan would send troops from here to attack them and stab Jiannu in the ass.

Yuan Chonghuan thought for a moment. Lower the hanging basket down the city wall. Yang Yanyu jumped into the basket and shouted to the soldiers in the city tremblingly: "I'm here, you have to hold it steady, don't let go." ”

If Jin Qiliang's personal soldiers pulled this basket, maybe they would let go halfway through, making this dog traitor fall and bleed. It's a pity that it was Yuan Chonghuan's personal soldiers who pulled the basket, and Yang Yanyu climbed the city tower without any danger.

When he arrived at Decheng Tower, Yang Yanyu recognized Yuan Chonghuan at a glance. It's not that Yuan Chonghuan looks special, but that he is surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers in the middle like stars holding the moon, which is very recognizable.

Yang Yanyu straightened his clothes, put the pigtail-like braid on his head with special care, and then said: "The Great Qing Mandate Khan ordered the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City to open the city and surrender as soon as possible without delay. Otherwise, the heavenly soldiers will break the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city will be killed one by one. ”

Everyone on the city wall changed color, and they were extremely angry at Jiannu's arrogant words, and they all demanded that Yang Yanyu be cut down. Yang Yanyu broke out in a cold sweat, but he still stiffened his neck and said: "I have 200,000 iron cavalry from the Great Qing Kingdom to attack the city, and the small city of Ningyuan will definitely be breached, you surrender quickly, and the Heavenly Mandate Khan will definitely give you high-ranking officials." ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid there are not 200,000, the total population of the Qing Dynasty is only a few hundred thousand, where did the 200,000 iron horsemen come from." I think the size of the soldiers in the city is only about 60,000. ”

Yang Yanyu was shocked, and the barbarian dog officer was quite clear, and he could see the scale of the sweating army at a glance.

Yuan Chonghuan continued: "Didn't you say that there was a letter from the Great Khan? Take it. ”

Yang Yanyu took out a Chinese letter from her arms and handed it to Yuan Chonghuan with both hands. Yuan Chonghuan hesitated for a moment, and took the letter with both hands.

The letter was written by Nu'er Ha Chi himself. Nuer Ha Chi first understood Chinese, although the characters were ugly, but Yuan Chonghuan could understand it. The meaning of the letter was similar to the message brought by Yang Yanyu, and Yuan Chonghuan read it in less than a while.

He handed the letter to the pro-soldiers, asked the pro-soldiers to put it away, and then said: "You go and reply to the Great Khan, saying that the Ming Dynasty did not provoke your Qing Dynasty, and the Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City we built are all land discarded by the Qing Dynasty, not stolen from you. Emperor Ming ordered us to defend the city, and we should be loyal to our duties, and there is no reason to surrender. If you withdraw your troops, we will not pursue, and the two countries will still be friendly neighbors. If you attack the city, we will not show mercy. ”

After that, he asked for pen and ink, brushed and wrote down the letter, blew the ink dry, and put it in the envelope. He wrote on the envelope the words "The Great Qing Dynasty's Heavenly Mandate Khan Nuer Ha Chi personally opened", handed it to Yang Yanyu, and said: "This is my reply, you can bring it to the Great Khan." ”

Yang Yanyu left, and Jin Qiliang, who was in the rectum, held back for a long time, and it was quite uncomfortable. He did not do well in front of the enemy, so as not to make the enemy think that the commander did not know, and to strengthen his confidence in the siege. When the traitor left, he said angrily: "How can Lord Yuan speak softly and without any strength at all, doesn't this make Jiannu's arrogance even more arrogant?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly: "A gentleman will never speak ill of him, the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it should be even more so." I can understand your disgust with Jiannu, but you have to pay attention, don't accidentally become a patriotic thief. ”

"The old man has only heard of traitors, but he has not heard of patriotic thieves. Is it possible to love the country and love it? Jin Qiliang asked suspiciously.

The generals and Korean envoys present all pricked up their ears to listen to Yuan Chonghuan's lofty arguments.

"That's what happens when you don't read history books. Have you ever heard of Ran Min during the Northern and Southern Dynasties? Ran Min established power and promulgated the "Killing Hu Order", which was very happy, but the Hu people united against him, and his regime was quickly eliminated, and people died. If he hadn't promulgated the "Killing Hu Order", his regime would have lasted longer and he would have been able to rescue more Han people, but as soon as the "Hu Killing Order" came out, he took the Han people to become the public enemies of the world, isn't this a patriotic thief? ”

In fact, before Ran Min, the Hu people regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, and they could cut them if they wanted to, and kill them if they wanted to. Ran Min promulgated the "Killing Hu Order", which aroused the blood of the Han people, and stopped killing by killing. If it weren't for Ran Min, I'm afraid that the Central Plains would have become a ranch for the Hu people, and there would never be a single Han person to be found. Yuan Chonghuan's evaluation of Ran Min was just to whitewash his servile behavior in front of Jiannu.

Everyone nodded in unison, all glad that they had such a wise leader, with Lord Yuan here, Ning Yuan City must be impregnable. After listening to Han Ming's translation, the North Korean envoy also nodded like garlic, and wrote down a note in his notebook, preparing to use these words next time to pay tribute to those political enemies in the palace.

In the camp of Jiannu, Yang Yanfu told Nuer Ha Chi about his persuasion to surrender in Ningyuan City.

Nu'er Ha Chi asked, "Old eight, what do you think?" ”

Huang Taiji muttered: "Yuan Chonghuan's soft words make me feel that Ning Yuancheng is not prepared for the jade to be broken and not for the tile. He is still hesitating and does not want to go to war with us. In addition, when he mentions us, he never says that the Ming soldiers and civilians often say that Jiannu, but called it the Great Qing Dynasty, and I noticed a detail that when he received your letter, he hesitated for a moment and took it with both hands, indicating that it is very likely that he surrendered and defected after being captured. If we put enough pressure on him, he might have surrendered to us. Of course, this is my conjecture and is not necessarily accurate. ”

Nu'er laughed and said, "My son is right. Come on, raise the tent, gather the soldiers and horses, and pretend to attack the city! First, to give our meticulous work the opportunity to open the city gate while the chaos is in chaos, and second, to put a little pressure on Yuan Chonghuan. (To be continued!)

ps: (Thank you for subscribing to the book friends, by the way, roll the keyboard to ask for recommendations, ask for a monthly pass.) Two shifts today. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan's soft words are not exactly made up by me, "Qing Taizu Wu Emperor Record" recorded: let the Han people captured, into Ningyuan to tell: "I attack this city with 200,000 soldiers, it will be broken!" If the officials surrender, they will be crowned with high lords. Ning Yuandao Yuan Chonghuan replied: "Why did Khan increase his troops? The two cities of Ning and Jin are the places abandoned by the Khan, and I will restore them, and the righteousness should be defended, how can there be a reason. It means that there are 200,000 soldiers, and I know 130,000, how can it be that you are outnumbered. ”）
