Chapter 683: Military Council

Guo Jian saw the holy decree, and got Duan Fei's promise, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and the injuries on his body didn't seem to be in the way, he sent people to gather Huang Zhen, Ma Sheng, Yang Lin and several other generals who led the rebellion, Duan Fei read the holy decree to them, and everyone was relieved that the matter could end like this, and there was no objection.

They lifted martial law, evacuated most of the soldiers, released the imprisoned senior generals, and those civilian officials and others who were confined to their homes and were not allowed to go out could also move freely.

However, not everyone does not need to bear the responsibility, Duan Fei invited the acting king and the general soldiers of the Datong Metropolitan Division and the prefect of Datong and other civil and military officials, read out the holy decree in public, and then Duan Fei announced in public his own judgment on the mutiny, Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian were certainly at fault, and the officers and soldiers mutined on the spot and killed the court officials and their own generals, although there was a reason for the incident, and their mistakes could not be erased, but the law does not blame the public, under the emperor's grace, the vast majority of people can be pardoned and innocent, including Guo Jian, who was coerced into becoming the leader of the mutiny, Only Liu Zhong, who failed to effectively stop the mutiny at the time of the initial mutiny and take effective measures to prevent the mutiny from spreading, is not forgivable......

Duan Fei ordered someone to escort Liu Zhong, a thousand households of Datong avant-garde, and asked him if he was convinced, Liu Zhong bowed his head and confessed, Duan Fei then ordered Liu Zhong to be whipped twenty times in public as a punishment, although Liu Zhong was beaten to the back dripping with blood, but it was all flesh wounds, much better than Guo Jian.

After Liu Zhong endured the pain and bowed to the Qincha Lord who represented Zhengde, thanked him loudly, and shouted long live, and it was the 5,000 soldiers who first launched a mutiny in the Datong avant-garde, and they saw this, under the leadership of Guo Jian, Liu Chen, etc., they bowed to the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted long live.

Among the released generals, there is a very special person, that is, Guo Jian's father, Guo Xiong, the commander of Gao Shanwei in the northeast of Datong, Duan Fei called him forward and appointed him as the general of Shanxi Xingdu Division, almost everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, Guo Xiong, nicknamed Guo Scar, was the father of Guo Jian, the head of this mutiny.

Duan Fei announced the appointment order again, Guo Xiong reacted at this time, knelt down with an excited expression to receive the order, and the surrounding generals were also quite excited, and the last doubts in his heart were completely gone.

Guo Jian's injury was not serious, under his strong request, Duan Fei asked him to return to Datong Qianwei to continue to serve as the commander, and at the same time appointed Liu Zhong as the commander of Gao Shanwei, and made some adjustments to the appointment of the commander of the Datong Zhuwei in public, and eliminated Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian's people, Huang Zhen, Ma Sheng, Yang Lin, Liu Chen, Guo Potar, etc. were appointed by the higher ranks, and for a time the crowd was excited, and Duan Fei's image was even taller in their hearts.

After the appointment, Duan Fei convened a meeting of the senior generals of Datong, and all civil officials were excluded, not even the acting king.

On the main hall of the Yamen of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, everyone sat down in order, and the right position was naturally occupied by Duan Daqincha, and a chair was added to his left hand, which was the position of Luo Shiyong, the chief soldier of Datong.

Duan Fei waited for everyone to sit down, and then said: "This mutiny, according to the verification sent by this official, has been confirmed to be caused by the Demon Sect secretly stirring up trouble, the original Datong avant-garde hundred households Gan Hui is one of the disciples of the Demon Sect, after interrogation, it was Gan Hui who shouted the opposite. ”

It was the first time that many people had heard that the Demon Sect was involved, and there was a lot of discussion at the venue, Duan Fei said: "This official has sent someone to seal up the Huihai Gambling House, arrested many Demon Sect disciples, and seized a lot of evidence, these people and things have been handed over to Datong Jinyi Wei to deal with, everyone doesn't need to worry." ”

Luo Shiyong, the chief soldier of Datong, said: "Huihai Gambling House turned out to be a stronghold of the Demon Sect, and Datong was infiltrated so badly by the Demon Sect, it is really unimaginable. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "This official is also lucky, let's not talk about the Demon Sect for the time being, do you know why this official came to Datong City with 80,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

Luo Shiyong, the chief soldier of Datong, said with a smile: "The adults have strategized to win a decisive victory, and the mutiny will be successfully quelled with a snap of a finger...... The northern Tatars are unstable, and the emperor is worried that Datong will be lost, so he sent a team to support? ”

This is also the idea of ordinary people, since the capture of the British clan, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have rarely set foot outside the pass, Zhengde last time out of the customs to play the result of the Tatar army is an accident, fortunately Zhengde carried it at that time, otherwise I am afraid that the emperor who was in power at an early age and met people will be depressed.

Duan Fei said with a smile: "General Luo guessed half right, this time this official was ordered to lead the army to Datong, it is indeed for Tatar, but not to support you, the defenders of Datong are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Tatars have 100,000 soldiers and horses, they will not want to attack Datong City......"

After holding the Datong defenders, Duan Fei continued: "This time, the emperor sent his official to lead his troops to come, in order to preemptively turn the Tatars' attempts to invade the south into death, try to destroy their forces, and when they are defeated, take advantage of the situation to recover the Hetao!" ”

Hearing Duan Fei's words, the generals below became excited, and they applauded loudly, as if they were about to fight with the Tatars immediately.

Luo Shiyong drank a silence, and the hall quieted down, Luo Shiyong hesitated: "My lord, does the emperor really want to recover the Hetao?" Just use the 80,000 infantry of the Taiyuan Guard? ”

Hearing Luo Shiyong's words, many people also looked suspicious, obviously not optimistic about the 80,000 pawns, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Don't underestimate these 80,000 people, of which 5,000 are the Shenshu Battalion musket team brought by this official from the capital, this official once defeated tens of thousands of thieves of the Demon Sect with 5,000 musketeers in Shanxi, and 5,000 people have almost no losses, although the Demon Sect thieves cannot be compared with the Tatar elite soldiers, but the musketeers on the plain are better to use their strengths, this time the official brought stronger firearms, and the Tatars did not leave tens of thousands of corpses and could not get close to the musketeers... …”

Duan Fei paused for a moment to let everyone digest his words, and then continued: "The 70,000 and 50,000 pawns are not vegetarians, they are all elite soldiers transferred from all over the country, and Taiyuan Wei alone doesn't have 80,000 people, right?" ”

Luo Shiyong said again: "My lord, the Tatar army is all cavalry, since ancient times with infantry and cavalry, victory is a small victory, defeat is a big defeat, want to ambush the Tatars to win an easy, want to defeat and take advantage of the situation to recover the Hetao, the lower officials think it is difficult and difficult, I don't know what good strategy the Lord has to defeat the enemy and restore the land?" ”

Luo Shiyong's words were agreed by many military attachΓ©s, and Duan Fei smiled: "General Luo's words are all right, and this officer also knows the advantages and disadvantages of infantry and cavalry, how can he use infantry to resist cavalry?" These infantry officers were only intended to be used in the initial ambush of the Tatars, and then only to use them to build fortresses and occupy space, and after the recovery of the Loop, the fortifications needed to be built as soon as possible, and more than 70,000 men should be enough. ”

Luo Shiyong saw that Duan Fei was full of confidence, he nodded and said: "Your Excellency has won a hundred battles in the southern and northern wars, and you must have a clever plan to deal with the Tatars, I don't know if you can explain it in detail, and we can cooperate with the adults to drive the Tatars back to Mobei." ”

Duan Fei said: "The official's plan is also very simple, that is, to lure the enemy deeper, and then close the door and beat the dog!" The key to this plan is to lure the enemy into an ambush with false news, and the most important thing at present is to keep the news tightly sealed, so that the Tatars must not know that the Datong mutiny has been successfully quelled......"

At the same time that Duan Fei was strictly deploying the battle plan, the news transmitted by the Maitreya Sect was also sent to the Hanhai steppe outside the Saiwai, and the little Tatar prince Ah Zhu was gathering heavy troops on the south side of the Tushu River at this time, preparing to invade the south, and after receiving the news of the Maitreya Sect, Ah Zhu immediately convened a military meeting of the generals.

The son of Dayan Khan, the rightful successor of Dayan Khan, who reunified the desert, won the wisdom and decisiveness of his father and the inheritance of martial bravery, trampled on the corpses of countless fellow or foreign people in the process of fighting for power and became the real ruler of the Tatars, but also left a lot of hatred, and now what he wants to do is to win a rich victory in the southern invasion, under the stimulation of victory, in order to appease all hatred, only continuous victory, he can truly become the heavenly khan on the steppe.

All of you here are Ah Zhu's cronies, as well as several large tribal chiefs, this is a Tatar coalition army, Ah Zhu will not be idiotic enough to let his elite be consumed under the walls of the Ming Dynasty, but let his potential enemies recuperate, they are the main force in the siege.

Li Fuda's handwritten letter detailed that he had been appointed by the Taiyuan General Army, and received a holy decree to go to Datong to quell the rebellion, and asked Ah Zhu to take this opportunity to lead the army to attack Xuanfu, and said that he would send people to Zhangjiakou Fort to make internal responses, and let the Tatars go straight into the Central Plains.

Hearing this news, the high-ranking Tatar generals present were silent and thoughtful, and after a long while, Ah Zhu asked, "What do you think of this information?" ”

The most famous fierce general under Ah Zhi, Fu Du, said with a smile: "Great Khan, is the news reliable?" How could the cunning Ming people be so cheap for us? Could this be a trap? ”

A Zhi said: "You can think so very well, this letter should be the Maitreya sect leader Li Fuda's handwriting, he contacted Ben Khan last year, asking for the inside and outside to take the Ming Dynasty, but at that time we were not in civil strife, it was not yet the time to use troops against the Ming Dynasty, so I refused, this year Ben Khan thought that the time was ripe, and he contacted and cooperated, but some time ago he suddenly wrote that things had changed, he wanted to enter Beijing to report on his work, cancel the plan of cooperation, obviously because the strength of the Taiyuan General Army has increased greatly, and we are not needed, Now that I have suddenly written to meet with each other, I want to ask for everyone's opinions, should we believe him to attack Xuanfu or continue the original plan and go to Datong? ”

Fudu grinned: "Dahan, I think the Ming people are unreliable, now the Datong mutiny, there will definitely be chaos for a while, it is a good opportunity to seize Datong, as long as we take Datong, we can fight all the way to the capital of Daming, if we go to attack Xuanfu, even if we cross the Great Wall smoothly, it is not easy to defeat Xuanfu, it is not easy to attack Xuanfu, the attack is not a few days, the army is coming from all directions, Han, it is clear that the guy named Li Fuda is taking advantage of the civil strife in Datong to pick up cheap, but let us go to fight Xuanfu to attract the attention of the army, We can't be taken advantage of. ”
