Chapter 1555 The return of the sky
The word "分" already contains a lot of information.
As the Ming border troops were in a state of decline, Mongolia tasted good from the behavior of robbers, and invading and plundering the capital has long become a common thing.
The soul of the current robber group is Altan, the leader of the Mongolian Tumot tribe. In the 21st year of Jiajing, he replaced his deceased brother Mailigen Jinong to become the de facto leader of the 30,000 households on the right wing, leading the tribe to grow continuously and expel Kudenghan, the leader of the orthodox Mongolian Khan, the leader of the Har tribe of the Great Khan tribe, in Liaodong.
Although facing the counterattack pressure of the Great Khan of Mongolian Khan, the territory he controlled reached Liaoji in the east, to Gansu and Qinghai in the west, and further sent troops to conquer the Oirat, and had become the Khan of many Mongolian tribes.
After growing and growing, Altan focused on the Ming Dynasty. Although he did not have the ambition to invade the Central Plains, he continued to loot and repeatedly went south in spring and winter.
Because Altan "knows the right way" in his work, he left after the looting, which made the Ming Dynasty court hate his behavior very much, but he had no intention of killing him.
Among them, the words of the treacherous minister Yan Song are the most representative: Altan is just a predator, so he will naturally go when he is full.
In October just passed, Altan personally led his troops to attack Xuanfu, then attacked Liaodong, and then went to Liaoyang. He was defeated by the general Yang Zhao in the city. Yang Zhao went out of the frontier to pursue him, but unfortunately he was buried in the battle.
Just as everyone was focusing all their attention on the west, his eldest son, Xin Ai Huang Taiji, conspired with the Liaodong Duoyan tribe, entered the pass from the edge of the wall of Miyun Coil, invaded Ji Liao, and headed straight for Shuntian Prefecture.
As soon as the news came, the entire Shuntian area was shocked, and martial law was imposed in Tongzhou City. Many wealthy families even fled Tongzhou in a hurry, intending to take a boat to the south of the canal to avoid disaster.
As early as the 29th year of Jiajing, Altan led his troops from Gubeikou to the city of Beijing. The court finally agreed to Altan's requirements for mutual communication, which allowed him to leave.
Now, the people suddenly came from the east, and the people were filled with negative emotions such as panic and panic. Some wanted to choose to escape, while others wanted to enter the city, which made the scene extremely chaotic.
"I'm going to go into the city!"
"We're going into the city!"
"Please, let's go in!"
...
The people in the city cave were only one step away from entering the city. They just watched the door-shut chariot slowly advance. They cried and begged, but they could not make the knife-shut chariot retreat, and they could only retreat step by step.
"I will not retreat, I don't believe that you will really kill your compatriots!"
A young man saw that everyone was about to exit the city gate, and suddenly blocked the door-scratch cart and shouted loudly.
The door-sticking knife trolley really stopped. After only a moment, it moved forward again. The young man was penetrated by a sharp blade, and a howling sound came from behind him.
Bang!
The city gates were closed heavily, and the key was immediately set. The city was isolated from the entire world, leaving only the city wall that was more than ten meters high, as well as the strong and sharp arrows on it.
Lin Xuran saw this scene from afar, frowned and asked, "Has the Tartars fought so quickly to the city of Tongzhou?"
Chen Jing's face flashed with embarrassment, and he shook his head gently and said, "No, the Tartars have not yet been seen! It is said that Tongzhou just heard the news and directly ordered the city to be closed down!"
Lin Junran's face couldn't help but sank. Looking at the chaotic ships in front of him and the panicked people in front of the city gate, this was really the style of the Ming officials: they did not seek merit, but they wanted nothing wrong.
If Tongzhou City is closed, with the strength of the six guards in the city, as long as it is not Mongolia's large-scale invasion, it is impossible to have a chance to break through Tongzhou City, and their black hats are restless.
However, many civilian ships and people are outside the city now. Because of their highly cautious behavior, the people have suffered a lot of panic and even caused many people to lose their lives.
"The great China and the majestic China are so humiliating. The people use their own anointing and blood to raise soldiers. As a result, when facing the attack of the thief, they only know how to be a turtle with their heads!" Meng Zhao lost his former steadfastness and immediately scolded him angrily.
Wang Shiju was from Shuntian Prefecture, and he kept clenching his fists and said, "How can this be done! How can this be done! This canal has been blocked from the east, and the traces of the Tartars have not been seen, so why can it be here?"
"Tongzhou City has been martial law. You can leave quickly, otherwise I won't blame you for being polite!" A general stood on the top of the city and spoke to the people who were still begging.
Lin Qingran narrowed his eyes and looked at the city wall from afar, suppressing the anger in his heart and said lightly: "Hang the official sign!"
Along the way, in order to reduce the flattery of local officials and to arrive in the capital earlier, he never hung an official sign, and even made Prince Yi think they were a promiscuous person.
But now, he does not intend to keep a low profile, but wants to let people know that Lin Qingran has returned, and that he, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites who is the most beneficial to the people in the Ming Dynasty, has returned.
"Yes!" Chen Jing's eyes lit up slightly, he bowed to Lin Weiran and hurriedly left.
"Ding Si Jie Yuan!"
"Wuwu Huiyuan!"
"The top scorer is the first!"
"Select Hanlin!"
"I will give you the imperial gift to the great Ming Wenkui!"
"The new Left Minister of Rites!"
...
As Lin Yanran's official title plaque was hung, everyone's eyes noticed this side, and many people's faces showed shock, and the chaotic ship hurriedly gave in.
The official ship moved smoothly to the dock, and Lin Qingran went down from the official ship and strode towards the city gate.
"Mr. Lin is back!"
"Yes... it's Lin Qingtian!"
"Okay! God has eyes!"
...
People who were wandering outside the city who were unwilling to leave saw Lin Weiran wearing third-rank official uniform appear, and immediately burst into tears and burst into their eyes, and they knelt down to Lin Weiran.
Tongzhou belongs to Shuntian Prefecture, and there are too many people here, Shuntian people. Thinking about the various actions under Lin Qiran's rule in the past, they have long regarded Lin Qiran as Lin Qingtian.
Lin Weiran looked at the dark crowd, saw these simple and unpretentious faces, and saw the expectations in their eyes, and raised his hand gently and said, "Please get up, please rest assured!"
The people got up from the ground one after another, but no one said a word and took the initiative to give up a two-meter-wide road to Lin Qingran.
"It has been half a year since the teacher left the capital, and his reputation has not diminished!"
Mengzhao and Wang Shiju looked at the eyes and manners of nearly a thousand people here, and knew that the teacher already occupied an extremely important position in their minds, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Lin Qingran walked to the center of the road, raised his head and shouted to the general at the top of the city: "Can Mr. Ma be there?"
The highest commander of Tongzhou City was not the governor of Tongzhou, nor was it the general of Tongzhou, but Ma Sen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Warehouse. There were multiple warehouses here to store grain, and the third-rank official of the imperial court had always been in charge of such an important place.
