Chapter 2225
Under the gray sky, a city wall like a giant dragon lies among the mountains.
The nomadic peoples in the north and the farming peoples in the south once again broke out. Tens of thousands of cavalry were displayed in front of Badaling Pass, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were also strictly guarding the city walls.
In the Badaling Great Wall section, the battle between the two sides seemed to be about to break out, and the army formed by the northern nomadic peoples approached the Badaling Pass.
Altan, who was riding on the horse, came to Badaling Pass, and his tiger eyes raised his head to the top of the city.
Originally, he wanted to meet Lin Junran yesterday, but things didn't go as expected. Lin Junran was assassinated on the way, but Qi Jiguang directly scolded him for being shameless.
During the subsequent "self-inspection", it was found that the Ming army did not scold them wrong. Lin Weiran's assassination was indeed related to them, and it was the work of him, a military advisor with great power.
Zhao Quan was with Altan, squinted his eyes and looked up at the city, but felt a mixed feeling in his heart.
He actually didn't know what was going on with Lin Junran's assassination. He just found that Huang Taiji and others looked at him with astonishment. He immediately stifled his head and admitted that he had issued it to the White Lotus disciples lurking in the Ming Dynasty.
Assassination Order.
The same is true. Even Huang Taiji, who has always been the least interested in him, looked at him with admiration, and now his status as a military advisor has been raised.
But he knew in his heart that the White Lotus Sect lurking in the Ming Dynasty certainly did not have this ability, and this assassination must have been done by other forces.
This kind of misunderstanding incident was actually not the first time. Lin Weiran was assassinated in Shanxi. Although he knew that it would not be the cause of the White Lotus Sect, he still took this responsibility.
After all, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Jin Kingdom and to get the attention of Altan and Huang Taiji, he needs to show some "strength", even if this strength comes from other forces.
However, he was also slightly curious about where the forces came from, since he had done something that his White Lotus Sect could not do.
This is not the first time Huang Taiji has dealt with Lin Shiran, but he has never met Lin Shiran. At this moment, he is curious whether Lin Shiran has three heads and six arms.
Although Lin Xuran had already arrived at Badaling Pass yesterday, Lin Xuran directly postponed the meeting time, and even delayed the meeting time to the present on the grounds of waiting for the court's reply.
Time is approaching dusk quietly, but today is a cloudy day, and the whole world is shrouded in gray.
On the top of the city, the flag of the Qi family army swayed with the cold wind, and the disciplined Wei family army stood on the city wall like wooden stakes.
Here comes!
There was a movement at the top of the city wall. A well-trained elite soldier stood first on both sides of the city wall, and then a group of generals surrounded a young man.
Altan and others finally saw the jade-faced fox in the famous grassland. It was the appearance of this figure that caused them to go south to loot and suffer severe damage, but they were disturbed by the Xuantai border army, which forced them to
Lower your posture to the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Weiran, who appeared in their vision, naturally could not be a monster with three heads and six arms. Unlike the soldiers who are strong and beautiful, Lin Weiran was full of Confucian spirit, especially her skin was fair and delicate.
"How come this jade-faced fox looks like a fox demon's reincarnation!"
"Even if it's really a fox demon, I'll have to cut him with one knife if I have the chance!"
"Don't swear, now if you want to get close to him, it's like you've reached the sky!"
...
Huang Taiji and others saw Lin Qiran appearing. Seeing Lin Qiran's body full of Confucianism, a trace of jealousy flashed across their eyes, and they were already politely judging Lin Qiran.
Although some people were rude to Lin Qiran, everyone was clear-headed. Now if they didn't say that they could not do anything to the Ming Dynasty. It was just Lin Qiran's status and power that they could not hurt at all.
No matter how they think of Lin Shiran, it is the existence of Lin Shiran, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace and Minister of War who is good at military affairs, which makes the combat power of both sides difficult to describe.
"I am Lin Weiran, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall of the Daming and Minister of War. I wonder if the people under the city were King Shunyi or Altan Khan?" Lin Weiran noticed the luxuriously dressed Altan, but asked with a smile.
When Huang Taiji heard this question, he knew it was a test and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Altan.
Altan's biggest goal is to trade with each other. He immediately said loudly: "Men Khan, his subordinates and the Ming Dynasty have already been repaired. Last year, I was awarded the King of Shunyi, so I will naturally be King of Shunyi!"
"Since it is the king of Shunyi, the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, why should we lead a large army to invade our Ming Dynasty?" Lin Weiran saw the military camp outside the city, but asked indifferently.
When Alta faced this question, he responded immediately: "We have suffered disasters in the grassland, and countless people and animals starved to death. This time we came here not to fight, but to hope that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could trade with our Altan's troops!"
"You are coming here with such an army, but you don't want to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it seems like you are forcing me to trade with you!" Lin Weiran's heart was full of disdain, and he immediately pointed out the truth.
Altan was able to become the overlord of the grassland and not only relied on his courage, but immediately denied: "Gei Master Lin, you have misunderstood! I am worried about my people. This time I led my troops to prove my determination to the Ming Dynasty.
, please ask Daming to trade with us and give us a way out!”
"If King Shunyi is really determined to let us trade with each other in the Ming Dynasty, but we can go to the capital alone to explain the reason to my emperor, and I will also say a few good things for you!" Lin Xuran said in the face of Altan's words, but he put forward a new plan and said
.
"No, this man has always been treacherous, so he will definitely take the opportunity to get rid of the Khan!" Zhao Quan heard Lin Junran's proposal and immediately hurriedly dissuaded the Tao.
Although he had no contact with Lin Xuran, based on the information he received, Lin Xuran was not a pedantic official, but rather a more pragmatic official.
Once Altan really agreed to go to the capital alone, he believed that Lin Xuran would not be able to take into account his promises or face, and would definitely get rid of Altan for the Ming Dynasty.
"Father, no!" Huang Taiji did not think as deeply as Zhao Quan thought, but just felt that the trip was too risky, so he immediately dissuaded.
Altan glanced at Zhao Quan and Huang Taiji with anger. How could he not see through Lin Weiran's tricks and said loudly to the city: "If the Ming Dynasty can agree to the trade with each other, I, King Shunyi, will definitely go to Beijing to apologize and then go to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Give a generous gift!”
Qi Jiguang listened to the conversation between the two sides in a real way, but he was so different that he turned his head and looked at Lin Weiran.
"You can't see sincerity in petitioning here! Since King Shunyi refused to go to Beijing to explain to our emperor in person, Huang Taiji can also do it for you!" Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Huang Taiji and said.
When Huang Taiji heard this proposal, his heart couldn't help but feel hung up immediately.
Although he was brave in fighting, he knew that he would be in danger when he really went to the Ming Dynasty. He even hung on the city wall like the White Lotus Sect yesterday.
"Gemaster Lin, don't be funny about us father and son. Will the Ming Dynasty go with us?" Altan realized that he could not take any advantage verbally, so he immediately said with a look.
As soon as these words came out, the air became nervous immediately.
"Since I don't even have the courage to meet the saint in Beijing, why should I be forced by you in the Ming Dynasty? I will not agree to trade with you!" Lin Weiran saw that Altan was going to be tough, and immediately said tit-for-tat.
The generals on the top of the city also stared at Altan and others. They were already strong and strong-willed war factions, but they did not have the slightest fear of Altan's anger.
Altan snorted coldly and immediately threatened: "This matter is related to the major affairs of both countries, I am afraid that you will not be able to take the lead! Let me tell you the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If I do not agree with my request for trading together, I have to go south.
, go to the city of Beijing to discuss with your emperor in person!”
According to the information he obtained, Longqing was a weak person. He forced Jiajing to agree to the trade under the city of Beijing, but now Longqing forced him to agree to the trade again, which is no longer a difficult task.
That's true. As long as his attitude is tough enough and his muscles are exposed, he believes that there is no need to fight this war, and the weak and lustful Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will agree to the trade.
"I have given you a chance, but you don't have the courage at all!" Lin Qingran said lightly, then turned his head and looked at Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang nodded in his heart and held a manifesto and said loudly to Altan and others under the city: "Since ancient times, emperors have been in power to control the barbarians in China, and barbarians have lived outside to serve China. However, Altan's tribe has been in the past and years.
Injure our Chinese people, poison hundreds of thousands of creatures. People, no matter rich or poor, plundered them all, without leaving any grass... Last year, the Ming Dynasty was regarded as the leader, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty remembered his return to his religion and wanted to share peace for the people of the two tribes.
Therefore, I abandoned my past grudges and shared tribute with Altan's army. However, I have launched another 100,000 troops to attack our Ming Dynasty. This is the following act of the best.... Now I have stripped King Shunyi and others of the people who have given me a gift, and now I am invading me
Those who are Chinese will be punished. Therefore, I will tell you the instructions and I want to know."
A loud voice came from the top of the city and echoed between this world.
This manifesto presents the strong and unyielding Chinese, directly accusing Altan of all kinds of crimes and seizing the title that was enthroned by Altan and others last year, and the relationship between the two sides officially broke down.
"Why do you think this is the case?"
When he heard the content of the manifesto, Huang Taiji and others couldn't help but look at each other, which was completely different from the result they expected.
I thought that the Ming court would definitely meet their demands for mutual exchanges when facing their 100,000 cavalry. However, I never expected that the Ming Dynasty, which had always been weak, became so tough, and actually took a head-on approach.
Nowadays, not only have they rejected their request for mutual exchange, but also accepted their ban, and have re-established the hostile relationship between the two sides.
"Father Khan, it's so good now!" Huang Taiji did not expect the Ming court's attitude to be so tough, and looked at Alda at a loss.
Zhao Quan didn't expect that the Shanxi Gang would actually lose the chain. The Ming court today is not the Ming court he is familiar with at all. He seemed confused and turned his head to look at Altan.
"Since they want to fight, then fight! But there is an extra jade-faced fox who is good at conspiracy and tricks. Now I invade the Central Plains and let the Emperor of Ming Dynasty learn about Altan's reputation!" Altan's anger surged into his heart,
He said angrily with a strong sense of fighting.
He was originally an eagle on the prairie, but he was trapped in a quagmire for many years.
Although he left the Northern Yuan Dynasty and established his own business, the new regime he created faced internal and external troubles. He originally wanted to use the Ming court's supplies to overcome the difficulties, but was rejected.
Although he was unwilling to use force with the Ming court, which was dominated by the Jade-faced fox, the current situation could only be solved through force, and he could only force the Ming Dynasty to bow to him.
"Yes, it's just that there is an extra treacherous Han man, so we let them know the price of rejecting us!" Several belligerent Mongolian tribal leaders did not know that the gap in strength between the two sides had narrowed, and they immediately responded actively.
"Stay on the spot, let's discuss the plan to attack the Ming court!" Altan raised his hand and immediately issued an order.
Although he really wanted to issue an order to attack the city immediately, the Badaling Great Wall was steep and if he was not prepared enough to attack, he would suffer heavy casualties.
That's why he rationally suppressed the impulse of a strong attack, and instead planned to rest here and develop a more feasible offensive plan.
The meeting between the two sides was a disagreement, and the relationship between the two sides immediately became tense, and the Yin Feng became even more fierce.
"This army of 100,000 should be considered Altan's family's fortune, right?" Lin Qingran looked at the tents outside, but exclaimed and said with a sigh.
Qi Jiguang's eyes were as sharp as a rifle, and he said confidently: "Gei Master Lin, you can rest assured that even if they have 100,000 strong soldiers, they will definitely not attack here!"
Lin Weiran had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was confident about it, otherwise he would not have come here yesterday.
During the Tumu Fort Incident, Yesen also sent 50,000 troops to seize Juyong Pass and move south, but in the end he returned in vain.
Now that Qi Jiguang leads the Qi family army to garrison here, and the fortifications over the years have become more complete, even if Altan is powerful, it is impossible for him to capture this place.
Lin Weiran turned his head and looked at Qi Jiguang with a smile, but asked seriously: "If a villain ran to your door and shouted, what would you do?"
"My Qi family also wants to be shameless, so I will go out and beat him away!" Qi Jiguang said seriously after thinking for a moment.
Lin Qingran's mouth raised slightly, and he turned his gaze back to the enemy camp over there and said, "I think so too! I, China, also want face, how can I allow them to clamor like this?"
Qi Jiguang's face immediately shook, but he knew that this old Master Lin was different from all the Shangguans in the past. He was a real hardliner.
Now Altan is leading 100,000 cavalry outside Badaling Pass. When everyone is thinking about such defense, this Master Lin is already trying to kill the 100,000 people directly.
