A negotiation on an alliance ended in a friendly atmosphere, and the performance of the crown prince Zhu Wucheng disappointed Jia Jue and the others, who could have achieved a greater advantage, but he stopped it, but the emperor did not say anything.

In Emperor Tianyou's upper study, a huge map was hung on a wooden shelf, the same map that Jia Jue had taken from the Tatar deputy envoy.

Emperor Tianyou carefully looked at this map drawn by the Tatars, the huge map clearly marked hills, rivers, deserts, lakes and other natural landforms, the content is very rich, much more detailed than the map stored by the Ming Dynasty's military department, especially the vast land of Mobei. There is also the distribution and number of the Warat tribes, perhaps to guard against the Ming Dynasty, and there are no such marks on the Tatar territory.

This map is well-drawn, and Emperor Tianyou loves it very much, "I will ask the celebrant to copy a copy and send it to the military department." ”

"Don't worry, the most important thing now is to train the army, as for the deduction of the military situation, it can be changed to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and it just so happens that Your Majesty can also understand the changes in the battle situation, so as to make timely judgments."

Chen Ruiwen took a long wooden pole and pointed at Hulan Sudden Hypothermia, "According to the latest battle report, at the end of March and early April, a big battle is likely to break out here, and both sides should lose both." ”

Emperor Tianyou nodded, and asked again, "Then what will happen if the weapons and armor we support arrive in advance?" ”

Chen Ruiwen's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of vigilance, glanced at Jia Jue, and replied: "The reason why the Tatars have been defeated in the hands of the Warat people one after another is because of their lagging intelligence, and because Bayan Khan does not have the courage to break through the cauldron and sink the boat.

However, Jizhou's military report said that the three departments of Duoyan had gone north, and they would arrive in Hulan in half a month. At this time, the Tatars are receiving our weapons, and as long as Bayan Khan does not make major mistakes, the Warats will suffer a great loss. ”

"Father, the son has a suggestion."

"Tell me about it."

Zhu Wucheng's spirit perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the son-in-law wants to think about it, we must not only weaken the strength of the Tatars, but also ensure that the Tatars are not defeated and annexed by the Warats, there are many variables in the war itself, we can't put our hopes in one place, we should open up another battlefield, directly weaken the Warats, attack and kill their women and children in the rear, implement a strategy of reducing the number of soldiers against them, and fundamentally cut off the war potential of the Warats." ”

Jia Jue smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is exactly what he said, it is the most fundamental way to let the Warat people directly reduce the Ding on a large scale. ”

Zhu Wucheng was secretly happy, and said: "The prince of the nine provinces, Teng, is just in Datong, so why don't you make him the commander and lead the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Datong, Yulin, and Taiyuan to attack the headquarters of Warat on the banks of the Zabhan River." ”

Wang Ziteng?

Jia Jue was startled and glanced at the emperor quietly.

"This ..... Let me think again. ”

..........

At this time, the sky was already dark, and there was a sound of changing husband on Ningrong Street, and the second watch was over, and the back street of Jia's house was deserted, as if it was a dark and dead world, only to hear the breathing one after another under the corner, obviously, there were many people under the corner.

At this time, a deep voice sounded, "Remember, your time is very short, only less than a cup of tea, after climbing over the wall to go in, the soldiers will go directly to the study and the outer study in two ways, you don't have to think about whether you will be discovered by the Jia family's own soldiers, whether you can leave alive, it depends on your speed of action and luck, the commander has a word first, no matter whether the action is successful or not, the family will reward ten horses, two hundred cattle and sheep, plus one hundred taels of silver." Those who get the account books will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level. ”

"Let's act!"

Without saying a word, dozens of black-clothed people rushed out from the corner, they were all professionally trained scouts, and they infiltrated into Xicheng under the reception of the Zhongshun Palace, a total of thirty people, twenty people acted, and ten people were responsible for answering.

Twenty men in black climbed up the wall to make sure that there was no one in the courtyard, and they fell off the wall one after another, moving quickly and silently, and as soon as they landed, they hid in the shadows, like shadows.

After waiting for a while, they rushed into the forage room behind the stables on the west road of Zhongwu Bofu like a whirlwind, as long as they climbed over this wall, they could see Zhongwu Hall through the inner Yi Gate, the inner and outer study rooms were there, and the twenty people climbed over the wall, like rabbits falling up, rushing towards the Neiyi Gate, and the temptation of ten thousand taels of silver and the third rank of official promotion made them lose their calm as scouts.

Twenty people rushed into the door of the inner instrument and rushed towards the study, they concluded that the account book must be hidden in Jia Jue's study, at this moment, the door of the study was opened, and in the darkness, "squeak..."

"Boom!"

In the frightened eyes of the man in black, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot head-on......

At the same time, the ten black-clothed people who were in charge of answering the back street of Jia's house were so frightened that they fled in all directions, but they couldn't escape anymore, and there were dense soldiers of the Ruishi battalion with knives and shields at both ends of the street, and even the soldiers of the Jia family with bows and arrows appeared on the wall.

At this time, Niu Er walked over with a torch in his hand, and looked at all this with a sneer, this is the territory of the Jia family, so many people rushed in, would they really not be vigilant?

..........

Under the city wall of Xizhimen, a black shadow rushed away, and after a while came to the innermost part of the alley, went around to the side door of a house and knocked on the door, the door 'creaked' open, and the man in black flashed and entered the door.

"Did you get it?"

"Deceived!"

The man in black waved his hand vigorously and said hatefully: "The other party has been prepared, if I hadn't kept an eye on it, I wouldn't have been able to come back." ”

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe our movement is too big and has attracted their attention, after all, the Jia family lives there."

The light was faintly lit, and a middle-aged man frowned slightly, "It shouldn't be, Ningrong Street is full of people every day, and there are many strangers, could it be that our news has been revealed?" ”

"I can't care so much, I'm already startled, and I can only wait for the next opportunity."

The man in black glanced at him and said, "Didn't King Zhongshun say that Jia Jue has already handed over the fold to go south to Jinling, and the defensive strength of Zhongwu Bofu will be weakened a lot at that time, and he will do it when the time comes." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and took out another letter, "The urgent letter delivered before dusk, Yangzhou will act in two days, and Huai'an is almost there, the emperor is too confident, he actually wants to smash the jobs of hundreds of thousands of workers, and now he has a headache." ”

.........

As soon as night fell, a long-accumulated riot swept through Yangzhou, with the salt merchants Bai family, Chen family and Li family were punished, their officialdom business was taken over by the internal affairs government, but the gray business in the background was left, not only the remaining four families wanted to annex these businesses, but the Cao gang and the local salt gang all wanted to grab these businesses and territory.

There is no mistake

In less than three days, nearly a thousand teams composed of the Cao Gang and the local salt gang rushed to the old house of the Peng family in Xicheng, and the patrol battalion guarding here broke out a bloody battle, the Peng family took refuge in the original patrol salt royal history Lin Ruhai, belonging to the officials and businessmen, the old lady of the Peng family who got the news invited the Yangzhou patrol battalion, but in the face of these ruffians who are not afraid of death with long knives and sticks, the patrol camp was pressed and beaten for a while, shouting and crying resounded throughout the West City, at this time, the Jinyi Guard 100 households stationed in Yangzhou City rushed to reinforcements, They rode their horses into the crowd of thugs, killing mercilessly.

These ruffians and hooligans scattered and fled, they vented their anger on the ordinary people, rushed into the houses, and slaughtered the innocent Yangzhou people desperately, venting their anger on the women and children.
