Chapter 187: The Eight Shang Fu Fa Mongolian Army Prisoners
Two wolf-like brocade guards stepped forward and took down the governor of Datong directly.
Zuo Yu couldn't help but panic in his heart, but he relied on the old man and scolded: "Shaft, this official is a Jinshi of Jingtai for five years, how dare you treat the old man like this!" ”
Syllable!
In Li Yue's shocked gaze, Chen Kun stepped forward and threw a resounding slap on the face.
One of Zuo Yu's old teeth immediately spit out with a mouthful of blood, looking at this junior with an unbelievable face, he never expected the other party to be so unsympathetic.
You must know that in officialdom, all kinds of relationships are complicated, and they have always talked about seniority with each other. Although he didn't know which subject this junior was, he and his mentor must be old acquaintances.
"This official is the governor of Xuanda personally appointed by His Majesty, and his rank is above you, and he has the right to act cheaply! You old puppet fornicated with Mongolia, and it is a great shame for my generation to be in the same dynasty with you, and now that the evidence is conclusive, what face do you have to shout in front of this official? Chen Shen rubbed his painful palm, and then reprimanded.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such a brazen person.
As a Ming official, he eats the Ming Dynasty and enjoys the favor of the Ming court.
This person doesn't know how to repay the rules, he obviously has an illicit deal with the enemy, and now he dares to rely on the old and sell the old in front of him, which is simply a handful of years to live into the belly of a dog.
Li Yue also realized that Zuo Yu in front of him really couldn't see the situation clearly, so he made up for it and said: "Governor Zuo, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, have you committed the crime of raiding your house and destroying your door this time, or should you think about it more...... It's too late to think about anything now, you wait to cut off your head! ”
Fornication with a foreign enemy is a grave sin in any era.
This dignified governor knows the law and violates the law, and I am afraid that he will be offended by one degree.
Now I can't see this situation clearly, I can only say that I have been too weak about the law, or I still think that his backer is still alive in the world.
"No, no, this official is not involved in the trade of 10,000 horses and mules with Mongolia, you must not believe the words of those two merchants!" Zuo Yu suddenly panicked, and excused himself regardless of the pain in his mouth.
When Chen Kun heard this quibble, he knew that he had indeed not wronged this person, but he was too lazy to talk to such a greedy official.
It's just that the governor of Datong in front of him, who is the governor of Datong who has the title of the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, has to act according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but he still has to be escorted to the capital for trial.
As for the fate of this governor of Datong?
It's hard to say if the emperor is someone else, but now that the wise and martial Hongzhi is in power, how can this unforgivable governor of Datong escape the punishment of the law?
Datong Mansion City, today is the blue sky and white clouds after the rain and sunny days.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"
"You know what you've done, let's go with you!"
"Do you know the Governor? Hehe, you are here to ask you to squat in the cell with the governor! ”
……
Since Qiao Liang and Fan Bancheng had all confessed, the other six families were naturally guilty, Chen Kun immediately sent personnel to arrest the other six families in the city, and the soldiers of the governor's yamen came to the door one after another to get humanity.
"Where are you going?"
Although the businessman surnamed Kong, the businessman surnamed Kang, and the Jin family had already received the news in advance, they had already been arrested before they could get out of the house, and their faces were shocked.
"Do you think you can run away?"
"Can't I catch you if I run back to Shanxi? Immature! ”
"You know the Tartars so well, why don't you try to run north?"
……
The merchants surnamed Qu, Chang, and Hou got the news in advance and left the city, but the matter was personally ordered by the new governor, and the three were quickly arrested.
At this point, the eight Shanxi businessmen who were mainly involved were all arrested, and what awaits them will be the sanctions of the Ming law.
The incident is simple and straightforward, because fornicating with Mongolia is a serious crime, not only did they and their families arrest them, but also seized all the property in their names.
However, how to deal with the eight Shanxi businessmen who were mainly involved in the case had to be decided by the capital, especially the master of the Forbidden City to make the final decision on the case.
Just as Datong was gradually returning to calm, the Montim in the north caused an uproar.
Things had to start a few days ago, although the governor did not return the same way, he still sent the news of the Ming court's refusal to pay tribute back to the sweat tent.
The Ming court's refusal to pay tribute was like a slap in the face to all of them.
They thought that after all, it was a pig that thought that they wanted both noodles and lizi, and perhaps the Hongzhi Dynasty, which was ruled by Wenchen, would recognize it, but now the real master of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Youji.
In the face of their self-proclaimed Emperor Dayuan, they did not get the approval of the real emperor at all, and even issued a letter two days before the agreed date.
Although their dream is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a weak emperor at all, but an iron-fisted emperor who has cleaned up Wenchen and obeyed him.
"How dare they, the Ming Emperor, do this?"
"We call ourselves Emperor Dayuan, and we have indeed touched the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's useless to talk about this now, should we change our name?"
……
When the news first came back, some tribal leaders realized that their Dayan Khan's self-proclaimed Emperor Dayuan had touched the bottom line of the Ming Emperor, so there were also some peacemakers.
It's just that the development of things is beyond everyone's expectations, just when they are still swinging between war and peace, but the news that Zhiyuan Bucket Ha was killed by Daming came.
A delegation of 1,500 men, many of whom were relatives of tribal leaders, went to Daming, and as a result, some of the tribal leaders were immediately furious with heavy casualties in the battle.
In addition, each of their tribes sent a large number of fine horses and mules in exchange for Ming supplies, and now they have basically fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
"They dare to attack our mission, and they will definitely pay for the blood debt of the Ming people!"
"Now gather all the horses immediately, and let's go south to the bloody Datong City together!"
"Why has he been staying in Datong, this matter seems to make some sense!"
……
Although many tribal leaders were furious at the news of the killing of the prefect, there were also some neutrals who questioned the truth.
Not to mention that the court clearly refused to pay tribute two days in advance, and the prefect Tongha learned that the Ming court refused to pay tribute, since he still chose to stay in the Datong area, this behavior is really incomprehensible.
If you drive tens of thousands of horses and mules back immediately, it is unlikely that the Ming will pursue, but you are staying there, and you really can't blame the Ming people for not paying attention to etiquette.
Who knows what you're here for? Now that you have set up camp here with tens of thousands of horses and mules, who will you fight if you don't fight at this time?
"What does it have to do with them staying in Datong? It's clear that the Ming people don't follow the rules! ”
"Since they are so unruly, why do we have to kill Shanxi this time!"
"Don't talk about killing Shanxi, now we can't have a good time with Datong, the Datong army is not a soft persimmon!"
……
Summoned by Dayan Khan, the leaders of various tribes gathered in the tent one after another, but the differences between the main battle faction and the main peace faction became greater, and there were even scenes of endless disputes.
Dayan Khan was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy after all, and he still lacked political wisdom, and he was helpless for a while in the face of the situation in front of him, which was almost out of control.
Suddenly, all the tribal leaders fell silent and looked towards the tent gate.
Manduhai, who was dressed in the traditional costume of a Mongolian woman, appeared with a gloomy face, but he didn't look at anyone directly, and sat down on the chair woven by the wolf king's skin next to him without saying a word.
Unlike Dayan Khan's chair tiger skin, which came from the sacrifice of her subordinates, the wolf king skin she was sitting on was obtained by shooting the wolf king with her own hands, and her body exuded the majesty of the Iron Lady that had not been seen for a long time.
This......
The fire sieve and the defire red were the bravest of the warriors, and after feeling the anger of Manduhai, they also silently lowered their heads.
Manduhai's eyes slowly swept over all the leaders present, and immediately issued an order: "All departments immediately gather people and horses, let's go to Datong together!" ”
With an order, the falcons and fast horses left the main camp one after another, and then the sturdy men of the various tribes gathered towards the Tumo River.
On June 20, the Mongols gathered 30,000 cavalry and marched straight to Datong, twice as many troops as Dayan Khan had last time to intimidate the Ming Dynasty.
Woo......
In the face of the Mongol army's attack, the horn of the border city sounded for the first time.
Although they already had the psychological expectation of facing the Mongol army when they refused to pay tribute, they were still shocked to see the Mongols dispatch 30,000 troops.
"Your Majesty, this Mongolia has not yet been unified!"
"Yes, if they wait for them to unify Mongolia, I'm afraid our Datong won't be able to protect Shanxi!"
"Now let's fight with the Tartars, this is the strategy for eternity, fight with them for the sake of our children and grandchildren!"
……
In the face of the menacing Mongol army, although they also faintly regretted a little, there was no turning back from the bow, and they knew that this was a road that had to be taken, and even they expressed their high fighting spirits.
If they now leave the problem to future generations for the sake of temporary peace, they may not be ruined, but they will be slaughtered sooner or later on the frontier.
"For the sake of the peace of future generations, let's fight with the Tartars endlessly!" In the face of the invading Mongol army, the soldiers of Datong also shouted slogans one after another.
The most important thing in fighting a war is military resources, and now Datong actually has the confidence to fight.
Due to the removal of maggots in the salt administration by the imperial court, and now the Kaizhong Law has regained its vitality, and the merchants who accept the salt in the grain can be said to be eager to rush to it, resulting in sufficient grain and ordnance in the border warehouse.
With such a guarantee, they naturally would not be too afraid of the invading Mongol cavalry, and even had the confidence to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Mongol army.
On June 21, the battle suddenly began.
Manduhai led a large army to camp outside the pass, and sent Tuohuochi to lead thousands of cavalry to attack from the front.
Chen Jian, deputy commander of Datong, led his troops to resist, and the arrows on the city wall rained down like rain, and the wood and stones were endless, so that the enemy cavalry continued to be killed and wounded, so that the enemy cavalry could not approach.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ming army, the fire sieve had already sent the fire sieve to lead thousands of cavalry to enter from a broken wall in the west.
"Withdraw!"
Chen Jian learned that the other party wanted to go around behind him, but he was forced to give up guarding the wall of the Great Wall, and led his subordinates back to the town border fort.
"Enter Datong!"
Manduhai led the army into the territory of Datong Mansion, but he was not dominated by impulses, but restrained the army to come to the city of Datong Mansion and stationed troops in front of Wuding Gate.
"As long as you hand over Princess Yixin and hand over the equivalent of 10,000 horses and mules, our Dayuan will retreat!" Man Duhai saw Chen Kun wearing a unicorn suit and Zhao Hu in a bullfighting suit appearing, and said when he put forward his own request.
After realizing that Emperor Daming was not a soft egg, she also gave up the idea of confronting Daming.
It's not that she thinks that her side is inferior to the Ming army, but that her side has suffered too much loss, not to mention that she wants to complete the great cause of unifying Mongolia, even if she wants to protect herself, it has become a problem.
It's just that her baby daughter Yikexi has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, but she has to come to ask for her daughter, which is the most important reason why she is mobilizing the people this time.
"What's going on? Princess Ixyce? ”
"When did her daughter fall into our hands?"
"Could it be that we accidentally killed them last time?"
……
Since no information was collected in this regard, and there was no hostage Princess Ixy in his hand, the group of generals present couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Chen Kun's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a heart: "Mandu Haihatun, you retreat to wait outside the gate, I have to tell Your Majesty about this matter!" ”
"Do you really want me to wash your Datong in blood?" Manduhai's face changed, even if it was a threat to the tunnel.
Chen Kun still had a harmless smile on his face, but he said seriously: "Mandu Haihatton, it is a small matter for the official to return your daughter, but you want the equivalent property, do you think the official can do this?" Now even if you agree, you will return with a full load of belongings, but the head of this official is not guaranteed! ”
"Return Yikexi immediately, and I will lead my troops to retreat outside the customs and wait!" Man Duhai knew that the other party really couldn't be the master, so he even put forward the conditions.
Chen Kun shook his head lightly and said, "Princess Yixi is the bargaining chip in the official's hand now, how can she hand it over now!" You either withdraw from the border now and wait for news, or you will fight now, our Ming Dynasty is never afraid of war! ”
In the face of such a tough Ming governor, the leaders of various tribes couldn't help but make difficulties.
In front of them was a thirteen-meter-high city wall, and the total strength of Datong reached 100,000, and they had to face the Ming Dynasty, which had a million heroes.
If there is a real full-scale war, their situation will definitely get worse and worse.
"I'll give you three days, if you don't send Yixin back intact, I will definitely wash the whole Datong in blood!" Manduhai finally compromised and chose to withdraw from Kanwaidao.
Chen Kun saw Manduhai retreating, and immediately gave an order: "Search for a Mongolian woman in Datong Mansion immediately, even if you dig out three feet, you must find out for the governor!" ”
