Ji Gang heard that Xia Xun suddenly came to the house, and listened to the housekeeper's detailed description of Xia Xun's angry appearance, so he knew why he came. Qi ""qi
It must have been Ji Gang's work on Emperor Yan's Wen Jinyi's Night Walk. How could he not be so clear about it?
Ji Gang was originally in the back hall, eating hot pot with his two concubines Qing Mo and Yin He. After hearing the news, he did not change his clothes. He only added a robe on top of Yan Ju's plain clothes and walked to the front hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Xia Xun standing tall and straight in the hall, his face expressionless and majestic, like an unsheathed sword.
Although Ji Gang had already planned it and deliberately acted casually without knowing anything about it, when he saw Xia Xun's rare evil aura, he was secretly startled and felt a little timid. Ji Gang calmed down and walked quickly
When he came to meet him, he said "surprisedly": "Why did the Duke come? Why didn't I wait for the servants to tell me that Ji Gang could go to greet the Duke..."
Xia Xun sneered and said bluntly: "Ji Gang, don't tell lies in front of the real person. Wa Ci didn't act according to the plan. As soon as the food and grass were burned, he immediately went out with all his troops. Is this ghost caused by you?"
Ji Gang immediately called out Chuang Tianqu and said loudly: "Why did the Duke say this? Ji Gang did not discuss everything with the Duke before executing it. How could he have ever made his own decision? What did the Duke say? Wasi didn't act according to the plan?"
Ji Gang blinked and said, "I haven't received the news yet. I wonder what the Duke of Guo means."
Seeing that he was still pretending, Xia Xun sneered and briefly told what happened. He looked at Ji Gang and said, "If it weren't for your instructions, would Vacian be like this?"
Ji Gang said with a smile: "My lord, this is because my lord has wronged Yan Emperor Wen Jin Yi Ye Xing Bar and lowered his rank, but the lower rank knows nothing about it.
The order conveyed to Wansongling by the lower official was discussed with the Duke and approved by the Duke. As for why Wa Ke did not act according to the plan, the lower official has no idea."
Ji Gang blinked and said slyly: "Perhaps this is the intention of the leaders of the Wake tribe. You also know, Duke, that Wansongling cannot control the entire Wake now. He has to discuss many things with those people.
How can Wa Ci's actions be as expected by the Duke? If the Duke doesn't believe it, he might as well ask Wansongling to confront the official. If the official acts recklessly, let the Duke handle it and leave!"
"Ha ha…""
Xia Xun laughed angrily and said to Ji Gang: "How can you hide this little trick from my eyes and ears! Ji Gang, if you say that Wansongling's actions cannot be completely controlled by Wasi Ling, I believe it! But after burning the Alutai food and grass, I will
It will be of great benefit to Waci to attack again after the food is exhausted. The leaders of Waci tribes will not understand this simple truth! Now Waca has gone the opposite way and things are abnormal. How can I trust you?"
Xia Xun said angrily: "Although this battle was tragic and lively, it also told them the winner in advance. It was almost inevitable to stop fighting, and their strength had not been exhausted yet. They tried to be quick, but
It will cause endless troubles. At least, we can only forcefully intervene now, instead of waiting for Arutai to be at the end of the road and take the initiative to ask for help to show our reputation! At least, once the situation goes beyond expectation, we will have to use force, and we should have used force when they should have
The power that was consumed during this period must now be exchanged for the lives of my Ming soldiers!"
If Ji Gang didn't have a guilty conscience, he might not be able to bear Xia Xun's scolding. After hearing this, he finally couldn't help curling his lips and said angrily: "Why did the Duke say this? Those who are soldiers are fighting. If you want to expand your territory, how can you do it without bloodshed?"
sacrifice?"
Xia Xun said sternly: "Three thousand could have died, but ten thousand have to die! Bloodshed and sacrifice, several times more than before. Isn't this thanks to your discipline?"
Ji Gang's heart skipped a beat. He was so frightened by Xia Xun's majesty that he didn't dare to argue for a moment. No matter how angry Xia Xun was, he couldn't do anything to him. Ji Gang just treated him with silence. Xia Xun stared at him coldly and spoke word by word.
He paused and said: "The emperor is coming soon. You set off a big fireworks for the emperor. Beautiful! Very beautiful! But these fireworks are made with many lives that should not and need not be sacrificed! Ji Gang, will you?
Pay the price!”
"The Duke..."
Yandiwen Jinyi Night Walk
Xia Xun walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Ji Gang stood in the hall, stunned for a long time, smiled sarcastically and said, "Are you here just to say a harsh word and show off your authority to me, Ji Gang? Haha... "Haha!"
Xia Xun walked out of the gate of Ji Mansion, saddled up his horse, and walked through the snow at night in the heavy smoke with the emperor's words written in brocade. When he was about to turn to the post where he was staying, he suddenly pulled the reins of the horse and pulled Hu Hancheng who came to report the news.
He called to his side and ordered sternly: "Go to Jinling, go to Dongjishi Factory to find Lord Mu, and tell him, 'One kill will kill the cause and effect.'"
The clouds are thick, the wind is blowing, and the snow on the grassland this year is one after another. Only this continuous storm can cover up the blood that is constantly spilling on the grassland, blow away the thick blood, and make the world pure and clean.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, dripping water turned into ice, and the snow was knee-deep. This extremely bad weather was not conducive to marching operations, and the entangled Tatar and Waqi sides could not survive in such a climate.
Let's call it a truce for the time being and keep fighting until the spring comes, because the Tartars come from afar and get everything they need from fighting. They use war to support their troops. How can we make a truce? Once the truce is over, all of them will have to survive after this winter.
Starve to death, freeze to death!
As a result, both sides were slow to move in the heavy snow and could not get rid of each other. They could only continue to fight and use a knife to slice flesh, slowly chipping away at each other's strength layer by layer. This method would not
They were suddenly shocked to realize that they had lost everything. By next spring, they would each be in an unsolvable dilemma.
For the Tatars, after this winter of hard fighting, their pastures were gone, their camps were moved, and livestock died in large numbers during migrations and wars. When the grass grows and birds fly and they need to graze cattle and sheep, they will find that there are no cattle left.
Sheep can be grazed, but the remaining livestock are either used to wrap their bellies, or they have to eat grass roots and bark. Even so, in the autumn and winter, the number of livestock reproduction is not enough to allow them to survive the cold winter safely.
The power of the grassland tribes is already loose. At that time, Arutai's troops and horses have been completely lost. Arutai will completely lose control of the Tatar target. The big trees will fall and the confusion will be scattered. The Ming court can easily take over.
If Tatar's rulers did not want to be famous, they could even leave Arutai aside and not even give him the status of a puppet.
As for Wasi, when the next spring comes, their strength will be exhausted. The Ming Dynasty will "suddenly get" the information that they secretly support the Great Khan, so they will go out to attack with only a small number of troops, and then use the Tartars to conquer the country.
With the remaining soldiers and horses of Target as the vanguard, the entire expeditionary force can be wiped out here. But in their rear area, although the tribe's vitality has not been lost, all the main strength has been lost in Tartar Shoes.
At this time, Liaodong Dusi was still encroaching on the Tartar target, Xiliang Song Hu, Hami King, and Beishebali King were ordered to send troops from the southwest and northwest, Shanxi Dusi sent troops from Yanmen Pass, Beijing troops sent troops from Shanhaiguan, and Nuergan Dusi pressed down from the northeast.
They marched together and formed an encirclement on Wasi. The main army of Wasi had been wiped out. Besides surrendering, the only other option was to flee to Telyanguti in the northwest (later Novosibirsk).
The Mongol Khan Tuotuobuhua who was defeated was actually a Xibei. At that time, this Xibei had already controlled some of the Wasi nobles. They could play a role within Wasi and played a role in the dual force and politics of the Ming Dynasty.
Under the influence of the offensive, Wac was forced to surrender. On the basis of promising to guarantee the hereditary status of the Wac nobles, it was completely feasible to imitate the chieftain management system of Guizhou, Yunnan and Gansu and bring Wac under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
This was Xia Xun's plan. But when Jigang saw that the emperor was about to tour the north, it was difficult for him to demonstrate his achievements in front of the emperor with this tepid style of play. In desperation, he actually changed the plan and broke the balance between Waqi and Tatai in advance.
, Ming Dynasty can only intervene in advance. This will require doubled efforts and sacrifices. If arsenic leaks in any link, this wishful thinking will be defeated. How can Xia Xun not be annoyed?
Yandiwen Jinyi Night Walk
After losing his temper at Ji Gang's house, Xia Xun also knew that now was not the time to get angry with Ji Gang, but to wipe Ji Gang's ass and quickly make amends to bring the out-of-control northern war situation back under control.
This is a major event related to the fate of thousands of people and the Ming Dynasty. In the face of such a major event, what does Ji Gang mean? For Ji Gang, he does not need to take action himself. He has murderous intentions and only needs to give an order.
En is very happy to play the role of the executioner.
When Xia Xun returned to his house, he immediately wrote down the changes that had occurred in northern Xinjiang in detail, and put forward his own opinions on how to deal with it: Liaodong Dusi immediately sent troops to take over Tatar in the name of mediation and appease Wake. It was snowing and wintery at the moment, so it was not time to send troops.
It was a good season, but there was nothing we could do. We had to issue an order immediately, ordering all the troops to attack Waca while the heavy troops were outside and the interior was empty.
The soldiers and horses in Xiliang and Shanxi are easy to handle. They are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they eat the salary of the Ming Dynasty. But the generals of King Hami, King Bie Shi Bali and Nuergandusi are all hereditary chieftains, and most of their soldiers are them.
Our native soldiers were dispatched in the cold winter and their non-combat attrition was serious. They must be reluctant. Although they did not dare to resist the order, it would be a big trouble if they fought passively and perfunctoryly. They might not be able to offer some favors such as promotion and promotion.
With some benefits such as allowing them to plunder for three days after entering the territory of Washeng, these matters must be determined by the emperor.
Xia Xun hurriedly drew up a plan. After thinking about it repeatedly, he added a few more points, copied it into a memorial, and ordered people to report to the emperor with an eight hundred-mile horse.
At this time, Zhu Lin was patrolling the north and had already crossed the Yellow River. The military post rushed to meet him. It didn't take a few days. The emperor saw the memorial in the camp and could immediately issue an order to respond.
After sending someone to send the memorial away, Xia Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling very tired.
The pattern of Beijing city is that of the eight-armed Nezha who subdues the dragon and suppresses the sea, but this great god of the Three Altar Sea Club cannot control all floods. Xia Xun, standing in the heart of the eight-armed Nezha, is like an eight-legged spider, full of dangers.
There are nets all over the world, but they may not be able to catch all the mosquitoes and flies in the world.
At the moment, he has done everything he can, and the next step is to do his best and obey fate! Rubbing his aching forehead, Xia Xun leaned back on the Taishi chair, and couldn't help but think of Xiaoying: "Wa Ci
The army marched together, and Tartar was forced to fight decisively. Sakura was in the midst of the rebellious army and was in great danger. I wonder what is happening to her now?"
At this time, Xia Xun only received the news that Wa Ke had rushed in and disrupted the plan, but he didn't know that Xiao Ying was already in the enemy's hands!
