Ada Tumeng immediately stood up and saluted Dayan Khan: "I will definitely live up to the great Khan's trust!"
Dayan Khan smiled a little when he heard this. Dayan Khan still had great trust and confidence in Ada Tumeng.
As his right-hand man, Ada Tu Meng was naturally quite capable. With A Da Tu Meng leading five thousand cavalry in a hurry, he could hold on to Wuning Fort until he arrived with his army.
Ada Tumeng left immediately, and several people in the carriage secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If their retreat is really cut off, even if they manage to fight back to the grassland in the end, they will have to pay a huge price.
This time they went south under the guise of revenge for the Huli and Heihe tribes, and planned to go south to plunder the Ming Dynasty.
They even contacted Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu who had launched a rebellion. I originally thought that everything would go very smoothly, but I never thought of following them south. It seemed that everything had changed.
First, Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu was put down by Li Huan without even waiting for their arrival.
A noble prince rebelled, but was suppressed so easily. They could only say that Zhu Zhixiu was really a waste, and he dared to rebel with such little ability.
If that's just the case, then that's fine. Anyway, they didn't expect King Anhua to be of much help. But unexpectedly, everything seemed to go very wrong next. After several confrontations, they actually lost their lives. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Especially now, they even had to be forced to retreat to the grassland, which made several people feel extremely aggrieved.
Dayan Khan suddenly slapped his palm on the table and said through gritted teeth: "God damn Li Huan, if it weren't for Li Huan, why would we, the Tatars, have suffered repeated defeats?"
As he spoke, Dayan Khan's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "Even this time, it was because Li Huan rushed into our rear that forced me to retreat. If Li Huan is not killed, I will not give up."
As he spoke, Dayan Khan's eyes fell on Han Yu and Lu Guang, and he said with a gloomy face: "Sir, there are many people in the Ming court who are very dissatisfied with Li Huan, and they have been thinking about killing Li Huan." Take it down? See if you can contact these people and ask them to exert their efforts. It is best to persuade the young emperor to issue an order to the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. As long as Wang Yangming's plan is disrupted, This Khan is fully confident that he will severely damage the Ming army."
After hearing Dayan Khan's words, several people's eyes immediately turned to Han Yu and Lu Guang.
Before Han Yu and Lu Guang defected to the Tatars, they were not unknown people in the Ming Dynasty. They naturally had their own connections.
As long as the scholar's network is willing to build relationships, it is not difficult to contact the six important ministers above the court.
Besides, over the years, Han Yu and Lu Guang themselves were responsible for dealing with the Ming Dynasty officials on behalf of Dayan Khan. Under such circumstances, Han Yu, Lu Guang and the others naturally got to know many officials above the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, after listening to Dayan Khan's words, Han Yu and Lu Guang looked at each other, nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, Khan. I will send letters to some people later. I want to come here now." There must be many people in the court watching Li Huan and Wang Yangming perform unparalleled feats."
A slight smile appeared on Dayan Khan's lips, he nodded slightly and said: "Very good, I believe you will not disappoint me."
Capital City, Forbidden City
The Forbidden City in spring and summer showed the prosperous scene at the feet of the emperor. Although hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops invaded the Central Plains in Ningxia, the imperial court had sent Li Huan, Wang Yangming and others to command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Tatars.
At the beginning, many people were worried about whether the Tatars would come to the capital as they had done decades ago. However, as time passed, everyone's worries naturally gradually disappeared.
Especially as one after another good news came from Ningxia, people in the capital were greatly reassured. After all, every time there was good news, tens of thousands of Tatars were annihilated. That was a great victory that greatly boosted morale.
.
It can be said that every time good news comes to Beijing, the people in the capital will cheer and encourage it.
In particular, the protagonist of several successful reports was Li Huan. Li Huan personally commanded the army and annihilated tens of thousands of Tatar troops one after another. Now Li Huan's reputation and popularity in the capital are absolutely unmatched.
Whenever Li Huan was mentioned, everyone from the elderly to young children were full of praise and awe for Li Huan, saying frankly that Li Huan was the champion of the Ming Dynasty.
On this day, the capital city was sunny and sunny.
In a restaurant, several officials who had left court were gathering in a wing.
If anyone saw them, they would definitely be very shocked, because these people's official positions are not low, they are even Liubu Hall officials, and the worst one is Liubu Yuanwailang.
Lu Jing was wearing a washed and discolored official uniform. She was thin and looked very simple just by looking at her clothes. She gave the impression that she was an incorruptible official.
Lu Jing, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries, has been in the same position for decades, and the official uniforms on her body seem to have never been changed, as if the official uniforms have been washed over and over again, and even the color has faded.
Sitting next to Lu Jing is a slightly fat official with a rosy complexion. This person is Lu Jing's deputy, Zhao Bang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Others include Zuo Yang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a foreign minister, Yang Ling, a member of the Ministry of War, and Baoming, a minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
Among these people, there was a minister, a minister, and a foreign minister. It could be said that they were all ministers of the court. Now that they were gathered in a restaurant, it was naturally impossible to simply get together.
At this time, Lu Jing took a sip of tea, glanced at the people present, and said with a bit of solemnity: "Everyone, your Majesty has decreed that the Ministry of Industry will send another batch of equipment to Ningxia to supply the imperial army.
Let’s talk about it, what should we do?”
As Lu Jing's deputy, Zhao Bang coughed lightly and said: "Master Shangshu, there are no weapons available in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry."
When Zuo Yang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Zhao Bang and Lu Jing in surprise, he couldn't help but said: "Isn't it possible? The warehouse of the Ministry of Works has always stored various ordnances built by the Ministry of Works over the years.
? Although a lot of ordnance has been transferred to the front line this time, compared with the inventory of the Ministry of Industry over the years, it should be very sufficient."
Not only Zuo Yang, but also Yang Ling, Bao Ming and others also looked puzzled.
Although they were important officials of the imperial court, unlike Lu Jing and Zhao Bang, they were generally in charge of the Ministry of Works, so they did not know the specific situation of the Ministry of Works.
After all, in their impression, there are still enough ordnance stored in the Ministry of Industry's warehouse. After all, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for supervising the production of various ordnance. This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. Even if there is no war, the Ministry of Industry will supervise the production of new ordnance every year.
of ordnance filling the warehouse.
In this regard, the imperial court had to allocate at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry every year for its special use. Therefore, when Zhao Bang said that there were not enough ordnance in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, they just felt like they heard a joke.
Being stared at by Zuo Yang, Yang Ling, and Bao Ming, Zhao Bang first glanced at Lu Jing, the old god, and then coughed slightly and said to these people: "You are not outsiders, Zhao will give them a thorough understanding."
, there are indeed many ordnances in the warehouse, but most of them are unusable..."
Zuo Yang and others reacted when they heard this, and Yang Ling, a member of the Ministry of War, exclaimed: "Aren't those ordnances all defective products with cut corners?"
As a member of the Ministry of War, he was also exposed to ordnance matters, so when Zhao Bang said it, he immediately understood what was going on.
Zhao Bang nodded slightly and said: "There are a lot of weapons, artillery, muskets, etc. in the warehouse, but almost all of them are defective products. If these are sent to the army, it will be difficult for Mr. Wangge to explain them."
Suddenly a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Bao Ming's mouth and he said: "What are you afraid of? Since His Majesty asked you to send the ordnance, then just send the ordnance. As for whether there is any problem with the ordnance, as long as the quartermaster at the front signs for it, then we will
It doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”
Bao Ming said with a sneer: "That General Li is very famous in the capital now. If he continues like this, he will really build an undefeated golden body. At that time, everyone will be waiting for him to crush him.
Let’s all be bossy and domineering.”
Zuo Yang, who was sitting next to him, also stroked his beard and said with a gloomy expression: "That's okay. The key point is that if the military can defeat the Tatars in this battle, then many predecessors and sages have spent a lot of money over the years.
Those military generals and noble groups that have been suppressed with great efforts will inevitably reappear, and this is the most terrifying thing."
Yang Ling sighed softly and said: "I don't know what Mr. Yang Ge, Li Shoufu and the others are thinking. Are they just watching helplessly as the nobles and generals fail to recover? If so, they are the sinners of history.
"
Lu Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had been sitting there silently, said quietly: "There is a letter from the teacher!"
The expressions of several people present changed slightly when they heard this, and they all looked at Lu Jing.
Like Lu Jing, they were all under the same sect and could be said to be natural allies. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get together so harmoniously even though they were spread across the six departments of the court and held various official positions.
But if a few of them come from the same school, everything will be much simpler.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Zuo Yang couldn't help but said eagerly: "Teacher, you are doing well lately, but do you have any instructions?"
The other people also looked at Lu Jing.
Lu Jing stroked her beard and smiled slightly: "Teacher is in good health. Not long ago, we hired an eighteen-year-old junior wife for us. She has a strong body!"
When several people heard this, they all showed a bit of smile on their faces and said: "Teacher is really old and strong, and a celebrity!"
However, Yang Ling quickly looked at Lu Jing and said, "Teacher's letter, I guess it's about something?"
Lu Jing nodded solemnly, glanced at several people one by one, and then whispered: "Teacher has more than a hundred disciples, and there are dozens of people in the court, but today Lu
But Lu only invited a few people to come because Lu believed in their loyalty to the teacher."
When several people heard what Lu Jing said, they also showed solemn expressions on their faces and bowed their hands towards Lu Jing and said: "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, we have been greatly favored by Teacher. It can be said that without Teacher's support, we would not be where we are today. Teacher."
Whenever there is any instruction, we will do our best and will not disappoint the teacher."
Lu Jing nodded slightly and said: "Teacher said, this battle is of great importance. Li Huan, Wang Yangming and the others must not return with a great victory. Otherwise, with the added military merit, Li Huan will be unstoppable and he will become our Ming Dynasty one day."
A big disaster. The emperor was young and ignorant, and favored Li Huan. Li Huan was treacherous and cunning. If he once gained power, he would become a powerful minister, which would definitely endanger our Ming Dynasty. As ministers, we must not sit back and watch the decline of our country.
Something happened.”
Excitement suddenly flashed in the eyes of Zuo Yang and others, and Zuo Yang clenched his fists and said in a deep tone: "Teacher is far-sighted and has long recognized that Li Huan is a major scourge of the Ming Dynasty. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we
, we must not sit idly by and watch.”
"What should I do if the teacher wants me to wait?"
Yang Ling looked at Lu Jing and said calmly.
After looking at a few people, Lu Jing said slowly: "The teacher said that he wants me to do some tricks on the ordnance."
Yang Ling chuckled and said: "Senior Brother Lu is in charge of the Ministry of Industry. This matter couldn't be simpler, but this alone may not be able to defeat Li Huan and Wang Yangming!"
Lu Jing said calmly: "Teacher has other arrangements to take care of Li Huan this time. Wang Yangming and others are defeated. The day they are defeated is when we will write a letter of impeachment and the Jin Yiwei will arrest him and return to Beijing to discuss his crimes."
Several people looked at each other, with a cold look flashing in their eyes.
Bao Ming raised his glass and chuckled: "Come, let's all toast together and celebrate first. Bao doesn't believe it. He Li Huan is really the champion Hou Chongsheng. Once the Tatars get serious, they will definitely not be easy to deal with. Maybe not
If we take action, Li Huan will die at the hands of the Tatars."
At the gate of the capital city, a group of messengers rushed over. Just by looking at the flags carried on the back of the messenger, one could tell that this was an eight-hundred-mile emergency.
Although it is not uncommon to have an eight-hundred-mile emergency like this, it is not that frequent either. You may not see it once every month or two.
But recently, we can frequently see express messengers rushing down the long street with good news.
Someone heard the sound of horse hooves and looked at the rushing messenger. His eyes suddenly lit up, and soon he heard the shouting voice from the messenger's mouth: "Good news, good news, General Li Huan went deep into the grassland and slaughtered countless Tatars."
Ten tribes, killed more than 100,000 enemies, to promote our Ming Dynasty's reputation..."
The messenger shouted as he flew past, and all the people around who heard the messenger's shouts looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
But soon everyone reacted, and each one couldn't help but feel shocked and happy inside, and gave out loud cheers.
Above the restaurant, in the private room, Zuo Yang and others who had just toasted to drink together could clearly hear the shouts of the messengers rushing past from the long street downstairs. The smiles on their faces froze for an instant, especially
