On the afternoon of the 6th day of July, Zhang Tinggong, the governor of Datong, was reading the newspaper in the yamen.

During this time, Zhang Tinggong's life was not easy.

Datong belonged to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty and was attacked by Lin Dan Khan and Tatars.

And Zhang Tinggong himself is not a talent for governing the border.

He was a Jinshi in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, and had previously served as a county magistrate in the local area, and he had quite a lot of political achievements.

But when he arrived in Datong, his method failed.

Wars are fought here all year round, and it's as common as eating.

The one he is good at is unattractive to hungry military households, and only laughs at his pedantry.

There is a big matter in front of him, which needs to be dealt with urgently.

He was sighing, but saw the staff hurriedly running in.

Zhang Tinggong hurriedly asked, "How are things going?" ”

"Lord Hui, 320 Mongolian people who took refuge in us, 1,440 cattle and sheep, 6,490 horses of cloth and silk, ......"

"Whoever asks you this, I'm asking you what Dongyu said no!" Zhang Tinggong interrupted the staff.

"Oh, the people from the east have taken things and have promised not to attack Datong."

The staff replied gasping.

Hearing this, Zhang Tinggong raised his head and said, "Thank God, I finally sent the plague god away." ”

The staff poured a basin of cold water on him: "My lord, Dongyu is insatiable, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fill their stomachs." ”

"It's all my possessions."

Zhang Tinggong said with a sad face: "That cloth, I am still going to use it to deal with Lin Dan Khan." ”

"My lord, this is strange to say."

The staff said while pondering: "I heard that Ji Liao Jing slightly recovered Daningwei, and the merchants who got the salt also sent grain to Daningwei, why did Dongyu still run to Datong?" ”

"Who knows, maybe Yang Jinglue is like us, often lying about his military exploits."

Zhang Tinggong looked at the sky with a helpless expression.

The governor of this land is really not a man.

If you think about it carefully, only a murderous person like Hong Chengchou can do it. I heard that he killed Shen Yiyuan, and slaughtered Ningsaibao, forcing Wang Zuohang to rebel.

At this time, he is leading troops to quell the rebellion.

As long as he thinks about it, Zhang Tinggong's heart is numb.

At this time, another official ran in: "My lord, something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Tinggong asked hurriedly.

"The Donglu didn't leave, and the defender of the Victory Fort reported that the Donglu was blackmailing the border fort where he was again."

"What!"

Zhang Tinggong sat down on the chair with a confused expression.

Sure enough, insatiable!

But I don't have anything to feed the wolves.

The staff suggested: "My lord, it is better to report to the imperial court, and say that the news that Jiliao has slightly recovered Daningwei is wrong, and the eastern captives have all run to the border of Datong." ”

"It took a long time to go back and forth, and in the end, it still didn't work."

Zhang Tinggong was very familiar with this matter, "Forget it, let's find another way." ”

He got up and walked around, thought about it again and again, and finally had an idea: "Tell the defenders of Fort Victory, let them personally lead dozens of cows, and tell Dongyu that I will have these cows." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The officials were puzzled.

"Oh, tell Dongyu, I'll just have these things, no matter how much blackmail there is, it's a big deal to attack the city."

Zhang Tinggong was speechless.

Jiang San, the defender of the Victory Fort, received the order of the governor and couldn't cry or laugh.

When he was told to go to the camp to deliver livestock, he was terrified. But the governor's order, he did not dare to disobey.

He had to take a dozen of his brothers and fifty oxen under his command, and go out of the jam tremblingly.

As soon as he came out of the Great Wall, he saw a large number of Mongols.

Then, he met a general of the Eastern Captives. Dressed in cotton armor, he is menacing.

"I have come to bring you fifty cows on the orders of the governor."

Jiang San said cautiously.

The general of Dongyu said something, and the translator next to him said:

"How come there are only fifty cows!"

"This is the last thing in Datong."

Jiang San didn't dare to offend Dongyu, and had to tell the truth.

"Did you do it intentionally, or did you do it on purpose?" The translator snapped.

Jiang San was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said: "I really only have these things, if you don't believe it, you can ask my brothers, we have been cut off from food for many days." ”

The generals of the Eastern Capture were amused when they heard it, and they pretended to be innocent in front of me with you greedy guards, right?

However, at the thought of the above command, he put away his smile.

"For your sincere sake, I will give you back a cow."

The translator conveyed the meaning of the Dongyu generals, which made Jiang San feel grateful.

After Jiang Sanbo goes back, he can tell the governor - Niu, and the Dongyu has all been accepted.

In this way, you can get a cow for nothing, and give the brothers a full meal.

"." The interpreter shouted.

"Yes, yes, I'll get out."

Jiang San led the cow and fled from the Dongyu camp with a rolling belt.

Seeing that Jiang Sanbo had gone away, the general of Dongyu turned around and entered the big tent:

"After a while, it seems that Datong really has no oil and water."

"Then let's go to Xuanfu."

In the tent, Yang Chengying clasped his arms with both hands and said in a deep voice.

That's right! The so-called Dongyu was actually Yang Chengying who asked Darhan to pretend to be a Jurchen, and the Mongols followed to help the factory.

They left Guihua City, followed the main route to Jining, and then south to the Datong border.

Asking the Datong border army to come to the cattle and sheep, in addition to eating for himself and his subordinates, they were all rewarded to the Mongols.

The cloth is selected by the subordinates first, and the selected ones are put on the cart.

The rest was given to the Mongols.

Shen Di (qi), the governor of Xuanfu, who had been in Liaodong and was a colleague of the late Yuan Chonghuan, received a blackmail letter from Darhan, and was directly frightened.

He did not ask any more questions, but sent for Darhan 12,500 pieces of cloth and animal skins.

Seeing these cloths, Yang Chengying was angry. When he was in Liaodong back then, where did Shen Di's courage go!

He suddenly remembered that there was a crumb person in Xuanfu, it was Ma Shiying.

Yang Chengying knew this guy.

When he and Ruan Dacheng were under the pressure of the Qing army in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Ma Shiying still did not forget to engage in party fighting.

So I had the idea of playing tricks on Shen Di and Ma Shiying.

He asked Darhan to tell Wang Kun, who sent the cloth, that he must take care of a meal for the army, and that the gold and silver cloth must not be missing, otherwise he will send troops to attack.

In order to clean himself up, Darhan also told Wang Kun that they knew that Yang Chengying should be in Daning, but Yang Chengying had just been stationed in Daningwei and did not have enough food to rescue Xuanfu, so let him watch it.

Wang Kun cried and ran back.

When Shen Di heard this, everyone was frightened: "You still have to take care of the food!" This...... This is a bandit, or a bandit! ”

"My lord, they are even more powerful than bandits and bandits." Wang Kun said with a bitter face.

"Well, that's just the way to go. But you have to be careful not to let Ma Shiying know, or my position as governor will be lost. ”

Shen Di said helplessly, "I think I have also worked with Inspector Yuan, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point now." ”

"Alas! I can't complain about this matter, and if you do it seriously, you will be cut by a thousand knives, so it is better to be calm and good for everyone. Wang Kun sighed.

"Don't talk about this, you can do it quickly." Shen Yi urged.

"Subordinates obey." Wang Kun trembled and retreated.
