"The Great Khan only got more than 5,000 catties of copper, more than 1,000 pieces of silver and copper ritual vessels, and more than 3,000 pieces of porcelain."

When the two quarters of an hour of looting time passed, Lin Dan Khan got a somewhat embarrassing amount of "seizures".

The price of all kinds of silver and bronze ceremonial ware is only four or five thousand taels of silver, and the slightly more valuable ones are only more than three thousand pieces of porcelain, but no matter how you calculate it, it is only one or two thousand taels of silver at most.

These things are still worth so much money in the territory of Daming, and if you get Moxi and Moxi's Wara in exchange for materials, it will be worth at most five thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Lin Danhan had a toothache, and looked at the tall Dading Palace unwillingly.

"Withdraw!"

Knowing that the various units of the Ming army would soon increase their strength, Lin Dan Khan could only retreat with what he could take with him after leaving behind more than a hundred corpses.

"Dog Tartar again!"

"Come again, Beiyu!"

"Go home and eat your mother's milk!"

"Hahahaha......"

Looking at Lin Danhan's gray retreat, the soldiers of the Miyun Battalion at the head of the city burst into laughter, and Jin Jin also ordered someone to count the dead and wounded.

Fortunately, except for a dozen soldiers who were wounded by arrows, the rest of the Miyun battalion were not injured, which can also show the equipment gap between the Mongols and the Ming army.

If it weren't for protecting the emperor, Jin Jin would have been eager to lead his troops out of the city and cut off thousands of northern captives.

It's a pity that the matter is over, since Lin Dan Khan has retreated, it means that he has no reinforcements, and the reinforcements of the Ming army are about to arrive on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Jin Qi immediately went to the inner court, and met Zhu Youxiao and others who had been waiting for a long time in the summer palace, and also saw Zhu Ciran who woke up.

Zhu Ciran's state was not good, he kept yawning, and he didn't seem to have slept enough.

Glancing at his brother's apprentice, Jin Qi said to Zhu Youxiao:

"Thanks to the guidance of Long Live Lee, the minister has repelled Lin Dan Khan, and Dading Palace is worry-free, but it is just ......"

Jin Qi then talked about Lin Dan Khan's looting and burning of the pavilions and pavilions outside the Dading Palace, but in Zhu Youxiao's hearing, some pavilions and pavilions cost a little silver at most, and his situation can be regarded as turning around.

Relieved, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Big companion, transfer 30,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury to reward the Miyun Battalion and Yiluanwei, the Han generals and the soldiers and horses of the net army who participated in this battle." ”

"Slave and maid command." Wei Zhongxian also breathed a sigh of relief, this time he didn't feel distressed, but felt that it was worth it.

If he dies here, all the money he has looted from his house will be lost.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also rarely flattered Zhu Youxiao generously: "Long live, this golden bell and Wei Liangqing ......"

His meaning is obvious, and Zhu Youxiao also understands it, that is, to promote these two people.

"Promote Jin Qi to the chief soldier, and promote Wei Liangqing to the commander of the three guards of the imperial city."

"Minister, long live Longen......"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao spoke, Jin Jin and Wei Liangqing knelt down to express their gratitude, among which Wei Liangqing was the happiest.

He didn't do anything, so he picked up the official position of the commander of the three guards of the imperial city, and this official position was to manage the three guards of the imperial city, which means that the head of the imperial city will be what he said in the future.

As for Jin Qi, although he was happy because he was promoted and made a fortune, in line with the mentality of focusing on business, he still persuaded Zhu Youxiao:

"Long live, now that Lin Dan Khan has receded, as long as he is released to make sure that he is far away, the minister will be able to escort you south back to Beijing."

"Hmm...... Let's talk about it. Zhu Youxiao still didn't feel at ease about returning to the capital, after all, after this incident, he would not go back until the situation in the capital became clear.

Thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao also felt that he was a little sleepy, and there was no danger, so he waved his hand and said:

"Alright, you all stand down, I'm tired, I want to rest."

"The ministers retire ......" Hearing this, Jin Qi and the others had no choice but to retreat, and Zhu Ciran also said "The ministers retire", and then left the summer palace.

Everyone was tired, Zhu Ciran, Wei Zhongxian and Wei Liangqing withdrew from the palace, and then returned to their palace to rest, but Jin Jin in line with his duty, stubbornly stood up for half an hour, until Tang rode back to Lin Dan Khan and walked a small road away from Dading Palace for ten miles, he returned to his residence to rest.

The matter of Dading Palace is over, but the soldiers and horses are still on the way to come.

From the beginning of the hour (13 o'clock), the Gongwei battalion began to arrive at Dading Palace one after another, and the Flying Bear Guard also arrived at six o'clock.

The generals of each battalion and the commander of the Flying Bear Guard, Wang Zhao, couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the bloodstains outside the Dading Palace, but after hearing that no one had died in battle and that the northern captives had not attacked the city wall, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just looking at the burned pavilions outside the Dading Palace, they knew that they could not escape punishment, and they couldn't help but worry.

This worry continued until dark, and it was not until Zhu Youxiao woke up that he had a message from the generals of each battalion, saying that they had meritorious service and could be exempted from this crime.

As for what to do with the remaining twelve arch guard battalions that didn't have time to King Qin, Zhu Youxiao didn't say.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the foot of Dading Palace to guard Dading Palace, Zhu Youxiao can be said to be extremely safe, but he still has no intention of returning to the capital, even if Wang Zhao brought the news that Zhang Yan and the imperial concubine are safe, he has no intention of going back.

His attitude and the news that Lin Dan Khan led his troops to retreat reached the capital overnight, and Zhang Yan was relieved when she learned about it, and politely asked Yuan Xi to send Concubine Yuan Xi home.

As for the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other officials, they knew in their hearts that no matter whether the emperor was in danger or not, whether this incident happened, it should still be investigated, and it should be punished.

However, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen did not come back, and the cabinet was difficult to decide for a while, so after the cabinet discussed, they chose to go to Dading Palace to ask the emperor's opinion with Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yuan Keli, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Shi Chengde, the left assistant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

With a heavy heart, the three of them arrived at Anjiang Town by train, and then changed to a carriage and went to Dading Palace.

When they arrived at Dading Palace, it was already the early morning of the third day of the fourth month, but when they came to Dading Palace, Wei Zhongxian stopped them.

"Wei Bingbi, the three of us have urgent matters to meet long live."

In front of Dading Palace, Gu Bingqian frowned and looked at Wei Zhongxian, but Wei Zhongxian said with a look of disgust:

"Long live frightened, before the King of Qi returned to Yanshan, no one was seen."

When he said this, Wei Zhongxian also deliberately glanced at Chengde, causing Chengde to frown.

He sat upright, and he was not afraid of Wei Zhongxian's look, so he said directly:

"The Governor's Office of the Five Armies is lax, and the cabinet needs Banzai's approval if it wants to check it, and if Banzai doesn't approve it, it will be difficult to do it in a few days."

"Difficult?" Wei Zhongxian's disgust for Chengde was undisguised, and he asked directly:

"Cheng Yushi, you are eating the imperial grain and holding the court's money, is it possible that it is a sentence of "difficult to do", can you not do it? ”

"I don't mean that, I just have to check the eucalyptus for a few days, otherwise after a few days, the eucalyptus will not be able to find out." Chengde only felt that Wei Zhongxian was messing around.

"Humph! Is it not clear or do you not want to check? As soon as Wei Zhongxian thought that he had almost become the ghost of the Mongols, he couldn't like the Yanshan faction, which was the most suspicious, and coldly scolded Chengde.

"Alright, then let's wait......"

At the critical moment, Yuan Keli became a peacemaker, and Wei Zhongxian saw this, snorted coldly and left.

Helpless, Gu Bingqian could only ask people to arrange a place for the three of them and the entourage officials to rest, and in order to avoid suspicion, the three of them had no contact, but except for handling official business, they were waiting for Zhu Youxiao's summons at other times.

It's just that they are waiting to be summoned, but Zhu Youxiao is looking at the situation in Beizhili and feels panicked.

"Nothing happened......"

In the side hall, looking at the note handed over by Nanzhen Fusi, Zhu Youxiao only felt very strange.

He is different from Chengde, Chengde doesn't know what happened to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't know what happened to Chengde, both of them can only analyze it from the information they obtained, and in Zhu Youxiao's view, it was the Yanshan faction and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that did the thing this time.

However, this matter became such a virtue, and in the end, Lin Dan Khan just walked around the gate of Dading Palace and grabbed some silver and bronze ritual vessels, and there was no threat to him Zhu Youxiao at all.

In this way, this time things are a bit anticlimactic.

"It shouldn't be the Yanshan faction ......"

Zhu Youxiao analyzed the situation in front of him, because he couldn't think of any benefit to the Yanshan faction if he was fine.

If Lin Dan Khan's entry into Kou really has something to do with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Yanshan faction, then not to mention anything else, the soldiers and horses of the Miyun Battalion, who are responsible for guarding the outer city, can simply open the city gate?

As long as the gate of Dading Palace is opened, the chance of being kidnapped by Lin Dan Khan as an emperor will increase exponentially.

It's a pity that the soldiers and horses of the Miyun battalion didn't do this, but actively defended the city, so that Lin Dan Khan returned in vain.

From this point of view, neither the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies nor the Yanshan faction are either.

But if it weren't for them, who would be in charge of the soldiers and horses in Kaiping Mansion? Why didn't the more than 300-mile Biansai Stone Fort put wolf smoke, but it wasn't until a stone fort mixed with Fusi Jinyiwei in Beizhen lit the wolf smoke, and the subsequent stone forts lit one after another?

It can be said that if there is no Jinyi Guard, it will be a problem whether the follow-up stone castle will release wolf smoke, and if nothing else is said in the future, at least Duolun County will fall, and his side is estimated to be more auspicious.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked up at Cui Yingyuan, the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi who was kneeling at the table.

"From which direction did the Northern Captives break into Kaiping Mansion from which stone fort? Why didn't there be a stone fort lit a beacon tower for 300 miles along the way? ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Cui Yingyuan of the South Town Fu Division, although he knew that this matter should be done by Li Ruolian of the North Town Fu Division, but he didn't trust Li Ruolian very much now.

"This matter, the people below are still investigating."

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Cui Yingyuan cautiously replied and explained:

"The northern captives are still in Kaiping Mansion and have not been evacuated, and the Jinyi guards of the Nanzhen Fusi do not dare to go outside the city to investigate, and they can only be investigated when the northern captives withdraw their troops."

"However, on the side of the Northern Army Governor's Mansion, the Mandu Governor heard of the invasion of the Northern Captives, and immediately mobilized the four battalions of cavalry from Shuofang Mansion to support Kaiping Mansion."

"The soldiers and horses of the three prefectures of Taining, except for those who defend the Dading Palace, the remaining twenty-two battalions of soldiers and horses are all supporting Duolun County, and it is estimated that the northern captives will be expelled in ten days at the latest."

Cui Yingyuan was reporting on the movements of all parties, but Zhu Youxiao was very dissatisfied.

In ten days, even if there were traces, they would be wiped clean, unless he directly set out from the more than 200 stone forts on the 300 miles and exiled the more than 2,000 people implicated.

Is this possible? It's simply impossible.

The people who organized this matter could not buy more than two hundred stone forts, in fact, they only needed to set up eleven or twelve stone forts to allow Lin Dan Khan to penetrate three hundred miles into the Ming Dynasty unimpeded.

The Ming troops of other stone forts estimated that they still did not know about the capture of the north and the siege of the emperor.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao was a little angry, and he wanted to immediately ask Nanzhen Fusi to arrest more than 2,000 people for interrogation, but he knew that he couldn't.

It's not because he doesn't have this power, but he knows that his brother will definitely lose his temper if he knows that he did this, not to mention ......

Zhu Youxiao thought of the attitude of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and knew that more than 2,000 soldiers of the country were implicated in more than 200 stone forts.

Source change app】

Of the more than 2,000 soldiers who defended the country, at least ninety percent of them did not participate in this incident, but they were implicated and tortured because others did this matter.

They may have been helping the Ming resist the Northern Captives the day before, but they were arrested and tortured by the Jinyi guards the next day.

If this thing really happens, how will the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the soldiers and horses of the world think of him as an emperor?

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, who already had opinions about him, mainly relied on his younger brother to suppress him, and the soldiers below did not act because they wanted to be safe.

If, as the emperor, he, implicates and tortures the low-level soldiers for his own safety, the soldiers will not weigh him, but will only resent him.

This kind of resentment has accumulated enough, and I am afraid that at that time, under the fanning of some well-intentioned people, the army will mutinied.

The Ming court repeatedly publicized how high the status of the soldiers was, and on the other hand, the emperor killed the soldiers as livestock at will, how bad was the result? Just look at the attitude of the Jiubian and Southern Army after the Qi family army in Jizhou was killed.

Although the incident was a contradiction between the northern and southern border armies, after the incident broke out, the low-level soldiers would only blame the court and the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao knew what the situation he was facing, and in this case, if he lost the military heart of the low-level soldiers, it would be difficult for him to sit down in this chair even if he had his younger brother to help him.

"The military heart at the bottom is still with me, but the heart of Wenchen ......"

Zhu Youxiao thought of the Yanshan faction officials who were too big to lose, this huge group that occupied more than seventy percent of the official positions in the officialdom, and his heart had always been on his younger brother's side.

"Long live, there are 800 miles of urgent military intelligence in Liaodong to ......"

Just as Zhu Youxiao was thinking about his current situation, Wei Zhongxian cautiously walked into the hall with an urgent military information, and Zhu Youxiao also bowed slightly when he saw this: "Read!" ”

"Yes......" Wei Zhongxian began to disassemble the military situation when he heard this, and then said loudly:

"On the first day of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, the minister led the troops to attack the capital city, and the old slave burned himself to death, and the battle was ......"

"The old slave is dead?!" Hearing the opening words of the military situation, Zhu Youxiao couldn't sit still and stood up, and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly read it at a glance and told all the things about Beishan and Shangjing.

"Long live Hui, the old slave died, Jianyu was destroyed by the plough, Huang Taiji and other thieves were killed one after another, and our army beheaded nearly 400,000 ......"

Wei Zhongxian explained, and handed the military information in his hand to Zhu Youxiao, who also quickly took it, and then read it at a glance and ten lines.

"Good, good!" Seeing that the war in the Northeast had stopped, and that his younger brother had set up three provinces outside the Guanwai, Zhu Youxiao said three good words in a row, and then he reacted:

In that case, my brother can go back to Beijing, right? ’

"This ......" Wei Zhongxian paused, and said: "Your Highness has asked people to spread the word that he will go to inspect all parts of the three provinces outside the Guanwai, and then divide the prefectures and counties. ”

"This military intelligence should have been sent on April 1, and the Tang cavalry sent by Dading Palace only set off yesterday."

"According to the speed of eight hundred miles, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can be stopped in the city of Duolun, but it is unknown whether His Royal Highness the King of Qi will return to Beijing."

Although Wei Zhongxian said this, he knew in his heart that if the King of Qi knew that the emperor was besieged by Lin Dan Khan, he would definitely be distraught and gallop back to Beijing.

However, the expedited delivery was Lin Dan Khan's knock, and the expedited evacuation of Lin Dan Khan would send the news of Lin Dan Khan's withdrawal to Zhu Youjian four hours after the arrival of the first batch of Tang cavalry.

At that time, no one will know whether Zhu Youzhen will return to Beijing, or whether he will inspect the northeast first and then return to Beijing, after all, the emperor is already safe.

"The affairs of the Northeast can be put aside, or handed over to the people below to do, and the younger brother must return to Dading Palace first."

Sure enough, hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao strongly demanded that Zhu Youzhen must return to Dading Palace.

Obviously, this incident made Zhu Youxiao not trust the officials in the capital very much.

In other words, he is full of distrust of the officials under the Yanshan system.

It is foreseeable that after Zhu Youzhen returns to Dading Palace, for his own safety, Zhu Youxiao will inevitably have a showdown with him.

Not to mention anything else, in short, the officials and generals involved in this matter must be punished and dismissed, otherwise they will continue to be stationed in Kaiping Mansion, and Zhu Youxiao will not be able to sleep even if he returns to the capital.

Who knows if Lin Dan Khan and them will collude again, repeat the trick, and get the matter to the capital this time?

The capital of the country is surrounded, which is more embarrassing than Zhu Youxiao being besieged in Dading Palace.

"Long live, this time, that Chengde ......"

"That's it!"

Wei Zhongxian saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, so he took the lead in speaking, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Zhu Youxiao frowning.

"The Slave and the Slave ......"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to mention this matter, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and Zhu Youxiao also waved his hand to signal the two to retreat.

Seeing this, the two retreated, and Zhu Youxiao got up and walked to the windowsill of the side hall after they left, looking at the Dading Palace full of spring, and after a while, his eyes flickered a few times:

"The external enemy has been wiped out, and now only the internal thief remains......"

At this moment, he didn't feel free and easy in front of Wei Zhongxian and Li Ruolian, but was very steady.

The thief in his mouth is naturally the one who is not good for his rule.

Yanshan faction, the five military governors, the Zhejiang party, the Donglin party, the Gu party...... These are the people he needs to clean up.

Although he knew that Lin Dan Khan's entry into the Kou might have been framed by someone to frame the Yanshan faction and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Yanshan faction did not do a good job.

Since he didn't do a good job, the handle appeared, and what he had to do was to do what Chengde thought, no matter which faction was doing this, this was a good time to attack the Yanshan faction and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

The only thing he needs to pay attention to is Huanglong, who is in Tianjin Port.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao not only frowned, but at the same time, Huang Long, who was in Tianjin Port, also watched the play for a long time and finally got the result.

"It's a pity ......"

In the Provisional Governor's Mansion of the Tianjin Port Navy, when Huang Long learned that Lin Dan Khan had entered the Kou and then retreated with nothing, his first reaction was to feel pity.

At this moment, he was sitting in the study of the Provisional Governor's Mansion, and in addition to him, only his nephew Huang Fei was left in the study.

The news was heard by Huang Fei's messengers, who seemed to be worried about what Huang Long would do when he learned that the emperor was besieged, so they intercepted the news of his trip to Tianjin.

But even so, Huang Long still got the information about all the things that happened.

He put down the information in his hand and walked around the study, as if thinking about something.

Looking at his appearance, Huang Fei, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say, "Uncle, we shouldn't be blamed for this matter, why should you worry?" ”

"Why aren't you worried?" Huang Long stopped and looked at his nephew, his face was a little unsightly: "Right now, this matter involves the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, if the emperor wants to take action against the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, can the Navy Governor's Mansion be left alone?" ”

"The ...... Do you have the strength? Huang Fei said a big rebellious word, but there were only two of them and uncles and nephews fifty steps around this study, and he was not worried about someone reporting the news.

What's more, he didn't feel like he was wrong.

For a new generation of generals like him, whose growth depends entirely on his own force and the promotion of the Qi Palace, it is their nature to advocate force and worship the strong.

Most of them had not experienced the period when Zhu Youxiao was entangled with the parties, and although they knew that the situation at that time was difficult, in their opinion, it was not Zhu Youxiao who solved the parties, but Zhu Youzhen.

For the courtiers, the perfect King of Qi is the object of their worship, not Zhu Youxiao, as he is now......

Huang Fei looked at the intelligence report on the table: "If His Royal Highness is besieged by Yanshan, with three thousand iron horsemen and two thousand foot soldiers in his hands, then the head of Hudun Rabbit may have been hung above the Dading Palace." ”

"That being said...... Huang Long did not refute his nephew's admiration for King Qi, but touched his beard:

"Your Highness is good at everything, but your heart is too soft."

"This time, the emperor was worried about the unstable situation in the capital and refused to go south, but in fact, he should have wanted to discuss with the king of Qi how to punish the officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Yanshan faction."

"This matter, the emperor can't come forward to punish it, it must be up to His Royal Highness, otherwise the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the officials of the Yanshan faction will blame the emperor, but His Royal Highness will not."

Huang Long's words are obvious, even he can say such things, not to mention Huang Fei, who has at least studied "Yanshan Politics".

Therefore, after listening to his words, Huang Fei frowned and said:

"In doing so, the benefits were reaped by that one, but His Highness didn't get anything from it."

"Isn't Your Highness a little selfish?"

It was hard for Huang Fei to believe that there would be a saint in front of him who was not greedy for power, but Huang Long sighed when he heard this:

"If Your Highness is selfish...... Huang Long stopped as he spoke, then thought for a while and continued: "Then he is not His Highness......

"The kid still doesn't understand." Huang Fei called himself a boy, apparently he still didn't believe it.

In this regard, Huang Long could only shake his head and said, "I'll know when you see His Highness." ”

It is difficult for Huang Long to say the kind of thing on Zhu Youzhen, maybe it is a feeling, or personal charm, in short, the longer he follows Zhu Youzhen, the more he admires him.

Ordinary people always yearn for "truth and goodness", and so do people like Huang Long, who were once born poor.

Zhu Youzhen's sincerity and benevolence to his courtiers are something that Zhu Youxiao's emperor who likes to play balancing measures can't learn and can't learn.

This is why Huang Long would rather leave the flowery world of the Ming Dynasty behind, and is willing to go to the other side of the ocean with Zhu Youzhen to open up a new dynasty.

Not only him, but also Man Gui and others......
