Not long after Zhang Lun returned to the Duke's Mansion, he saw his wife rushing over in a hurry.
Zhang Lun couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw this. What happened?
But soon Zhang Lun saw Zhang Jin who was following his wife.
When he saw Zhang Jin, Zhang Lun vaguely guessed something. He quickly stood up and smiled at Zhang Jin: "How come my little aunt has time to see me?"
Zhang Jin just glanced at Zhang Lun, stepped forward and sat down unceremoniously, and then said to Zhang Lun: "Tell me, aunt, what happened in the court today, and why did your majesty allow Wang Yangming to go there?"
To be in charge of an army, doesn’t Your Majesty know that Mr. Wangge is just a civil servant and has never commanded an army at all?”
My father was an old British government official and had been dealing with the military all his life. Even Zhang Jin, who had been exposed to it, knew that commanding the army was not a simple matter. Especially when hundreds of thousands of troops were involved, all aspects of it were involved.
, that really not everyone can handle.
If commanders like Sun, Bai, Han, and Li were really so easy to appear, then it would be impossible for only a few of them to appear over the past thousands of years.
Zhang Lun had already guessed Zhang Jin's purpose when he saw Zhang Jin, so he was not surprised at all after hearing Zhang Jin's words. He first nodded slightly towards Su who had the same worried look on his face, and then sat down with a smile.
Opposite Zhang Jin, he said with a straight face: "My aunt is not aware of this, but Wang Yangming is Li... My uncle personally recommended it to Your Majesty. With Your Majesty's trust in your uncle, it is not surprising that he finally decided to let Wang Yangming lead the army."
.”
Zhang Jin was slightly startled. She had only listened to the maid's general remarks before, and did not know the inside story. Now when she heard what Zhang Lun said, Zhang Jin frowned and said, "Husband, what on earth do you think? Chao Zhong
He didn't choose so many generals, so why did he choose Wang Yangming? Doesn't he know the stakes of this kind of thing?"
Zhang Lun shook his head and said: "Of course we don't know what my uncle thinks, but it's obviously impossible to say that he doesn't know the stakes. If he really doesn't know, he won't take the initiative to write a letter.
I sincerely request the emperor to send Wang Yangming to lead the army."
As he said this, Zhang Lun didn't know what he was thinking of. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Jin and said, "Little aunt, in my opinion, this situation is actually the best outcome."
Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Lun with some confusion.
Zhang Lun sighed softly and explained to the two girls: "Little aunt, think about it. It can be said that the whole court is paying attention to this battle. The Ming Dynasty dispatched more than 200,000 troops. If you add the civilians, there will be at least dozens of soldiers."
There are so many, and the manpower and material resources used are absolutely staggering.”
Even if Zhang Jin and the Su family don't care about world affairs, they are not fools. They naturally know what it means for the imperial court to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops.
Zhang Lun said slowly: "If we win this battle, everyone who participates in this battle will definitely be promoted to a higher position and enjoy endless glory and wealth. But once we lose, I don't know how many people will die for it."
Brain.”
Zhang Jin and Su couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this, and Zhang Jin even frowned.
But Zhang Lun soon said what Wang Yangming had said before and said: "Wang Yangming is the commander-in-chief, so if the army really loses, then only Wang Yangming will come forward to take over everything, plus the power of the emperor."
Bao, then my uncle's guilt will be much lighter, and at most he will receive some punishment. As long as he does not lose his life and has the favor of the emperor, he will make a comeback in a long time."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su let out a long breath and said, "So, Wang Yangming is the scapegoat chosen by my uncle..."
Hearing this, Zhang Lun couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su, coughed slightly and said: "In case, I'm just talking about the in case. Besides, Wang Yangming is not a fool. How could he be so stupid as to be a scapegoat for others?"
Su also knew that she had said something wrong. She smiled and looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Auntie, you can rest assured now. Even if the worst outcome occurs, Wang Yangming will be the one to shoulder the greatest responsibility."
Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Lun, nodded slightly and said: "You are talking about a battle, what are the chances of the Ming Dynasty winning?"
Suddenly hearing Zhang Jin's question, Zhang Lun couldn't help but hesitate, and said with a wry smile: "Normally speaking, the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops, at least two or three times as many as the Tatars, should be able to defeat the Tatars.
People are just a matter of battle formation, which changes rapidly, and no one can guarantee what the final result will be."
Zhang Lun thought for a while and said, "But this time, apart from the soldiers and horses from Henan, Sichuan, Shanxi and other places, the other more than 100,000 troops dispatched by my uncle can be considered elite. Compared with the Tatars,
But if you have the strength to fight, you may not be able to defeat the Tatars."
Here Wang Yangming received the emperor's order and acted vigorously and resolutely. On the same day, he selected a battalion from the Beijing camp and headed straight for Ningxia.
But on the side of the Tatars
Darulhua from the Suder tribe paid a heavy price to break through Wuning Fort and cross the border into Ningxia. This naturally opened the way for the Tatars to enter the Central Plains.
However, as Dayan Khan was a heroic figure on the grassland, after learning about the rebellion of King Anhua, he immediately thought of how to support King Anhua to split the Ming Dynasty and how to use the rebellion of King Anhua to weaken the Ming Dynasty.
Seek benefits.
Dayan Khan even thought that one day he might not be able to invade the Central Plains and reestablish the Hu Dynasty like the Yuan Empire did in the past.
Because of this, Dayan Khan slowly set off a few days after Suder's troops entered Ningxia.
However, under the assignment of Dayan Khan, the nearly 100,000 Tatar army was divided into two groups. One group was commanded by him, and followed the Suder tribe into Ningxia, heading towards Anhua City in Qingyang Prefecture.
Prepare to join forces with King Anhua to jointly resist the Ming Dynasty's counter-rebellion army.
The other route was led by Dayan Khan's trusted generals, and 30,000 soldiers and horses came towards Yan'an Prefecture in Shaanxi Province.
In Dayan Khan's view, not to mention the counter-rebellion troops sent by the Ming Dynasty, the only thing that he really looked up to was the trilateral governor Yang Yiqing who was in charge of the trilateral land.
The Ming Dynasty did not send Yang Yiqing to lead an army to quell King Anhua's rebellion. Naturally, Dayan Khan knew his purpose, which was to prevent the Tatars from taking the opportunity to move south from Shaanxi.
The Ming Dynasty used Yang Yiqing to prevent them from moving south from Shaanxi, so he was not guarding the Ming Dynasty.
Dayan Khan was also worried about Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides who was both civil and military, so Dayan Khan directly sent 30,000 troops, for no other reason than to delay Yang Yiqing, a capable minister of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could give him money.
He fought for time to support King Anhua.
As long as he supports King Anhua to capture Gansu, Ningxia and other places, and waits for King Anhua to stabilize the situation, he can gather his troops to march into Shaanxi and destroy Yang Yiqing's troops. By then, King Anhua will occupy the land of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
It can directly threaten Shanxi, Henan and other places of the Ming Dynasty, and even become a knife hanging over the head of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Nearly 70,000 Tatar troops poured into the Central Plains from Wuning Fort. Because they were slightly delayed by two days, they put some distance between themselves and Suder's tribe.
By the time Suder's Darulhua and others were wiped out by Li Huan, the Tatars' nearest forward troops were still hundreds of miles away.
In the huge tent, a strong smell came out, and the tent was surrounded by brave Tatar people. Looking at the luxury of the tent, it goes without saying that this is Dayan Khan's
The location of the sweat tent.
In the big tent, candlelight danced. Dayan Khan, with pigtails on his hair and a fur coat, was standing in front of a map.
This map is clearly a map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and even includes a huge territory on the grassland.
Dayan Khan stood in front of the map, looked at the map in front of him, and his eyes fell on the location of Anhua City.
Stroking his beard, Dayan Khan's eyes crossed Ningxia and drifted to Shaanxi, Shaanxi, the capital and other places, with a sparkle in his eyes.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a dozen burly figures were seen striding into the big tent. When these people entered the big tent and saw Dayan Khan, they all saluted to Dayan Khan and said, "I have seen the Great Khan."
Dayan Khan slowly turned around, glanced across the group of people, then nodded slightly and said: "Everyone has settled down."
These people were all heads of ministries appointed by Dayan Khan.
You must know that Dayan Khan gathered men and horses from dozens of tribes on the grassland, including dozens of tribal leaders, large and small. These tribal leaders responded to his orders and came with their warriors, and the men and horses they brought
Naturally, there are more and less.
There are nearly 10,000 people in many cases, and only two or three thousand people in small groups. Such a large number of people means that it is difficult to convey orders and it is even more difficult to achieve unity.
Therefore, Dayan Khan personally appointed ten temporary Wanhu officers. Each Wanhu officer commanded 10,000 troops, completing the initial control of 100,000 troops.
Among these dozen or so figures were several officials of ten thousand households, as well as some of his close associates who made suggestions for Dayan Khan.
Signing for everyone to sit down, Dayan Khan slowly sat down.
As one of Dayan Khan's confidants, Rudar, who was appointed as the official of ten thousand households, drank a glass of goat milk in one gulp and looked at Dayan Khan and said: "Great Khan, you called me to come, but do you have any orders?"
?”
Although the others did not speak, they all raised their heads and looked at Dayan Khan.
Dayan Khan's eyes swept across the crowd and said: "Not long ago, Ben Khan received a piece of news about the Suder Ministry."
Rudar and others' eyes couldn't help but light up when they heard this. Darulhua had previously fought for the vanguard position. Along the way, they could see traces of burning, killing and looting by the Sudel tribe everywhere. I don't know how many people were secretly envious of the Sudel tribe.
.
The Suder tribe burned, killed, and looted all the way, and now they have stolen an unknown amount of wealth. They are extremely envious.
Now when Dayan Khan mentioned the news about the Suder tribe, everyone immediately looked at Dayan Khan. Rudar couldn't help but said: "Great Khan, the Suder tribe has the permission of the Great Khan to spearhead our army this time.
The Great Khan also saw the situation on the road. The Suder tribe was so full of food that they had gained so much. I don’t know how much benefit they got. Great Khan, do you want me to change with the Suder tribe? Let’s do it too.
The vanguard of the army..."
Many people looked eager to try and looked at Dayan Khan expectantly. Once Dayan Khan nodded in agreement, they would definitely fight over their heads to grab the vanguard position.
Dayan Khan saw the expressions and reactions of everyone in his eyes, and he naturally knew what these people were thinking.
But when Dayan Khan thought of the news he had just received not long ago, he sighed in his heart. With a bit of solemnity in his eyes, he slowly said: "The news I just got not long ago is that the Sudel tribe has reached Darul Flower
, down to the ordinary tribesmen, except for a few people, all have been wiped out..."
"It's really a bargain for Suder!"
Rudar thought that what Dayan Khan was going to say was how much benefit the Suder tribe had received this time, so he did not listen in detail. He just spoke subconsciously as soon as Dayan Khan finished speaking.
But soon Rudar suddenly raised his head, looked at Dayan Khan, and exclaimed: "The Suder tribe was destroyed? How is this possible!"
Not only Rudar, but also everyone present was stunned when they heard this amazing news from Dayan Khan, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"This is impossible. How could the entire army of Suder's thousands of elites be destroyed? It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have such a strong force."
"Darulhua is not a fool, how could he be defeated so miserably?"
Dayan Khan said slowly: "The news was brought back by the people of the Suder tribe who had been lucky enough to escape. Just a few days ago, they collided with the mighty general Li Huan sent by the Ming Dynasty. There was a big battle.
Come down, Suder's entire army will be wiped out."
A man with flushed cheeks, wearing a fur coat and pigtails looked very much like a Tatar, but this man was an out-and-out Ming man.
Han Yu, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty who was deprived of his fame.
Han Yu's background was not bad, he was from a local wealthy family in Shaanxi, and the Han family was one of the most powerful families in Yan'an Prefecture. It had prospered by smuggling salt and iron into the grasslands.
At that time, the Han family fell into the hands of the newly appointed governor of the three sides, Yang Yiqing.
It is said that there are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office. When Yang Yixin took office, the best way to establish his own majesty was to select some officials or establish strong authority.
The Han family is used to being arrogant and domineering, and they don't pay attention to some of the orders of the newly appointed Yang Yiqing. The results can be imagined.
The prosperous Han family was caught for smuggling salt and iron, and then Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, presented a memorial to the emperor. Including the Han family, more than a dozen officials, generals and even local wealthy families from the three sides.
His family was confiscated and his family was exterminated.
It was by relying on his ruthless tactics that Yang Yiqing frightened all the officials in the Trilateral Lands and completely secured his position as the Governor of the Trilateral Lands.
Needless to say, Han Yu was a remnant of the Han family. With hatred for Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, and the Ming Dynasty, Han Yu fled into the prairie and went to Dayan Khan's tent to advise Dayan Khan.
I have to say that Han Yu's ability is really not bad. By giving Dayan Khan a few clever ideas, he has firmly established himself beside Dayan Khan and has become one of Dayan Khan's confidants.
At this time, Han Yu was stroking his beard, frowning slightly, looking at Dayan Khan and saying, "Khan, I'm afraid something bad is going on."
Everyone present was stunned after hearing Han Yu's words, and looked at Han Yu with puzzled expressions.
Naturally, Han Yu and the others were no strangers to him, and they also knew that Han Yu, a man of the Ming Dynasty, was very vicious and vicious. He was a smart man and had given Dayan Khan a lot of strategies.
Dayan Khan glanced at Han Yu, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Han, doesn't he refer to King Anhua?"
Han Yu smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Han knew that he couldn't hide it from King Khan."
Seeing Han Yu's appearance of being in tune with Dayan Khan, Rudar couldn't help but said anxiously: "Han Yu, please explain clearly. What does the destruction of the Su'er tribe have to do with King Anhua? Why is it so bad? What should I do?
I was confused when I heard it.”
"Yes, yes, you scholars just like to play riddles and make people confused. Can't you just explain it clearly?"
Dayan Khan glanced at Han Yu and said, "Mr. Lao Han can explain it to these rough guys."
Han Yu stood up, and under the gaze of everyone, he slightly arched his hands, and then said with a straight face: "Everyone, the Great Khan has just said that the Suder tribe ran into the counter-rebellion troops sent by the Ming Dynasty. As a result,
completely annihilated."
Rudar nodded and said: "That's right, that loser Darulhua really disgraced our Tatars. So many warriors died in vain."
Han Yu ignored Rudal and continued: "The Ming Dynasty's counter-rebellion army crossed Anhua City and ran into Suder's tribe. So let's talk about it, what is happening in Anhua City now?"
Even a reckless person like Rudar couldn't help but say: "It goes without saying that Anhua City has probably been breached..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately reacted.
At the same time, pairs of eyes subconsciously looked towards Dayan Khan who was sitting there.
Rudar swallowed hard and said: "Great Khan, if King Anhua has been pacified by the Ming Dynasty, do we still need to go to Anhua City?"
They came here to support King Anhua to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but now they are not halfway through the journey. They were suddenly told that the person they wanted to support, King Anhua, might have been pacified by the Ming Dynasty.
, how to do this?
Even the object of support was gone, why did they go to Anhua City? Could it be that they could not collect the corpse for King Anhua?
But think about it, they might not even be able to find the body to collect it for King Anhua.
A Wanhu official grinned and said: "I didn't agree with the big guys coming to support King Anhua before. We came to rob, not to work for King Anhua. Now that King Anhua is dead, it's just right, big guy
Turn around and kill Shanshan Shaanxi, everyone will take a good grab..."
The words of the Wanhu official also represented the thoughts of some high-level Tatar people, so as soon as he said these words, some people in the big tent showed expressions of emotion.
However, Dayan Khan did not speak, and these people could only look at Dayan Khan with expectant eyes.
Dayan Khan seemed not to notice the gazes of these people, but looked at Han Yu calmly and said: "I wonder if Mr. Han has any suggestions?"
A sharp look flashed in Han Yu's eyes, and he said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Han's suggestion is that the Great Khan's army will continue to go south, and Li Huan's tribe will be destroyed in one battle, and the Huli tribe, Heihe tribe, and Su
The Del tribe took revenge, and then went straight from Ningxia to Shaanxi. Together with the three officials of the Ten Thousand Households, Late, Abal, and Mandula, they attacked in front and back, severely injuring and even destroying the elites of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty. Their troops pointed directly at Shanxi and the capital, leaving the Ming people
The imperial court will give me an explanation from Tatar. If not, the army will attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
