If the power is insufficient, there will be more anger, and if the faith is insufficient, there will be more words.
For Zhai Zhe, threatening others is just as uncomfortable as being threatened.
The impact of the Jurchen's entry into Kou Xuanda was huge. Feeling that the Jurchen is strong, someone's mind begins to become flexible, and someone's mind becomes urgent.
The Ming Dynasty is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and this time he entered the customs, Zhai Zhe planned a lot.
In a gambling house not far from the business alliance, it is heavily guarded.
Geng Guang pushed the door in, arched his hand and said inside: "Send the letter out!" ”
Zhai Zhe turned his head and asked, "Is it reliable?" ”
"If I can't do such a thing, then I'll be in Datong for nothing." Geng Guang's words revealed a sense of confidence.
"Let the brothers who are involved in their hands go outside the plug to avoid it, this matter is not trivial, it is difficult to guarantee that the government will not chase the roots, and it will not be good to bring you out when the time comes."
Geng Guang nodded yes.
Zhai Zhe didn't say what was in the letter, and he didn't ask.
"I have been in the customs for more than a month, and I will return tomorrow, and the messenger will be connected once every three days, without interruption. Every step of the Shang Alliance, Liu Quan's whereabouts must be reported to me in detail. Zhai Zhe carefully advised, and his words were dignified.
"Yes!"
Before the New Year, the officialdom of Xuanda Town in the north of the Ming Dynasty bid farewell to the old and welcomed the new.
Succeeded as the governor of Xuanda is Yang Sichang, the governor of Yongping in Liaodong, who has always been famous for his military knowledge in the Ming Dynasty politics, and has made great contributions to the defense and construction of Yicheng in Shanhaiguan, and resisted the invasion of the Houjin army, and Emperor Chongzhen made him the governor of Xuanda with high hopes.
In the past few years, the Jurchens first plundered the city of Beijing from Xuanfu, and then entered the western part of Koushan from Datong.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye in the court can see that the northern realm of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and Xuanda Town has become the main direction of attack of the Jurchens.
The Ming Dynasty put the only financial resources in Liaodong Town, and only raised a Guanning cavalry that could only defend the city, which was no threat to the Jurchens and no restraint, so he just asked for food.
Liaodong Military Town and Jurchen have been at war for many years, and they have suffered from each other, Ningjin has a stable defense line, and there is Shanhaiguan natural danger behind it, compared to the soft persimmon of Xuanda, the Jurchens are now unwilling to gnaw the hard bone of Liaodong Military Town, and the Jiangmen of Liaodong Military Town does not want to provoke the elite private soldiers in the hands of the Jurchen Loss. When Allah attacked Xuanda, she used a partial division to contain Liaodong, and her emergency documents flew like snowflakes to the imperial court, which meant that the troops could not be mobilized.
After Yang Sichang took office, he inspected Datong, Xuanfu's guards, and camps in January, and his heart was cold. He had seen the battle between the Guanning cavalry and the Jurchens in Liaodong, and it was a fool's dream to defend against the Jurchens with the current strength of Xuanda Town. Before coming, the only way to plan was to build a fortress and defend it with heavy troops.
Datong Town was even more deserted, and the new governor Jiao Yuanbo was helpless.
Yang Sichang came to Datong Town to inspect, and there was almost no praise along the way, Jiao Yuanbo was busy with Anmin, and he had very little time to accompany him, and the meals to be served were not rich.
Half a month later, the new governor of Xuanda entered the yamen of the governor of Datong Town.
Jiao Yuanbo apologized and said: "The hospitality has not been good these days, please Haihan!" ”
"I know your difficulty, Datong Town is so like, and what do you do with all that red tape."
Jiao Yuanbo seized the opportunity to complain: "Now Datong Town has no money and no food, there are not enough soldiers, and they can't fight, only the imperial court allocates food money and recruits new soldiers to ensure the peace of this side." "After the Jurchen withdrew, except for a few fortified cities in Datong, almost all the four fields were in ruins, and the money and food allocated by the imperial court were not enough to resettle the victims, let alone recruit soldiers. He knew that Emperor Chongzhen trusted Yang Sichang, and if he was willing to speak, the chances would be much greater.
"This is the top priority, I will write to the imperial court." Yang Sichang's heart was no less anxious than Jiao Yuanbo, and the governor of Xuanda was out of the cusp of the situation

c No one knows when the next invasion of the Jurchens will come.
Jiao Yuanbo bowed his head and said: "According to the humble opinion, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight against the Jurchen army with the strength of Xuanda Town. ”
Yang Sichang heard what he said and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Jiao Yuanbo took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Yang Sichang, and said: "The day before yesterday, someone secretly sent me a letter, the content of which is not easy to discern, and I asked the master of Taiwan to decide. ”
Yang Sichang took it and saw that the letter was all in Mongolian, and he didn't recognize it, and it was not easy to express it openly. He was extremely clever and shook the letter in his hand, but he had already guessed seven or eight points about Jiao Yuanbo's thoughts, and asked, "Do you want to unite Mongolia?" ”
After the Jisi Change, uniting with Mongolia against the Jurchens was a taboo topic in the Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Chonghuan's strategy was a complete failure. This is a good strategy, but both sides have their own selfish intentions. Lin Dan Khan only paid attention to the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to unify Mongolia first and then fight against the Jurchens. When the Ming Dynasty was attacked, the Mongols stood by and watched, and vice versa, so that both sides were broken by each side.
Jiao Yuanbo saw Yang Sichang's embarrassment and reminded: "There are two copies of this letter, one of which is in Chinese. ”
Yang Sichang opened the envelope, and there were indeed two letters inside, one in Chinese and one in Mongolian. He took out the Chinese copy and glanced at it a few times, then folded it and put it in the envelope.
"The content of both letters is the same."
Yang Sichang frowned and pondered, and said, "Do you think it's credible?" ”
He was a literati commander of the army, good at scheming, and liked to plan, and after reading the letter, he couldn't help but burn a strong interest in his heart.
"Credible." Jiao Yuanbo said bluntly. He was hesitant when he first received the letter, but when he thought about it, it became more and more credible.
"There is no signature on this letter, the Jurchen invasion, and the Tumuts are accomplices."
At this juncture, Yang Sichang couldn't have imagined that the Tumut Mongols would want to unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jurchens. Even if this letter is fake, Da Ming will not suffer, if it is true, Xuan Dazhen can secretly have one more friend.
In the past half a month, Jiao Yuanbo has secretly visited Tu\u9ed

8 The recent situation of the special people, said: "It is credible without a signature, the Tumut people are still under the control of the Jurchens, and if they discuss peace with the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they will be in a bad situation." The Tumut tribe and my Ming have always been friendly, and Omubu Khan was also canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and last year there was a drought in Shanxi, and tens of thousands of Han people fled into the grassland and were also among the Tumut tribes. ”
Yang Sichang pondered for a moment and said: "The Tumut people's move is to throw stones to ask for directions, and wait and see what happens. With the current strength of the Xuan army, this external force is better than nothing, and the Mongols will not risk confronting the Jurchens. "He saw it through.
"There is a Han cavalry ......in the Tumut Division," Jiao Yuanbo also wanted to say.
Yang Sichang stopped him and said, "Don't pay attention to this beforehand, the Tumuts have found you at this time, which means that they are in a hurry." If you let the inventory of the business travelers along the border of Datong relax, it can be regarded as a response to them. Only the Tumut is useless, and only the Mongolian tribes can unite to become the help of my Ming Dynasty. “
Jiao Yuanbo saw that Yang Sichang had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything anymore. It's just that as far as he knows, there is probably no relaxation for the merchants who go out of the border along the border, and the livelihood of the border army falls on smuggling, so how can they be banned.
Zhai Zhe took the risk of submitting a letter to Xuanda Town in the tone of Tumut Mongolia, and asked for directions to test the attitude of the new officials of Xuanda Town. There is no evidence for such anonymous letters, and even if they are circulated, it can be said that people with ulterior motives are spreading rumors. The Jurchens had become an unavoidable topic for Xuanda, and he did not believe that everyone was willing to sit still.
The south is connected to the Ming Dynasty, and the north is connected to the north of Mongolia, although there is little hope, but this is the only way out, maybe Lin Dan Khan is not there, it is easier to let the Mongolian tribes unite.
