Mongols is a general term, and the common people can just call them this. In fact, Zhu Houzhao should ask, "Are the Tatars coming?"
After Emperor Yuan Shun abandoned most of his capital and fled north in the first year of Hongwu, in the official official documents of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols who retreated to Mobei and still used the title of Beiyuanyuan were all called Tatars. As for the individual groups within the Mongols,
The tribes of Oara, Tatar, etc. are all rising and falling one after another, and they are all ignored. From this point of view, this great country has the magnanimity of tomorrow. I don’t care what you call me, I will call you Tatar, my subordinates.
Defeated general, come and fight if you don't accept it!
After several generations of sweating, those who spoke and took care of things on the grassland no longer had much to do with the descendants of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty. Now on the grassland, the most troublesome thing for everyone in the Ming Dynasty was Tu Mengke, who unified all the Tatar tribes. The Mongolians called him
They are called "Dayan Khan", and the people of Ming Dynasty are used to calling this group of "little princes of Mongolia". The scattered Mongols are not terrible, a unified Mongolia is the most serious problem of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tatars
The little prince is such a powerful figure who unifies most of the grassland.
"Yes, according to reports from Wei Chen's men, there was another snowstorm on the grassland this year, and the Mongols began to move again. In order for His Majesty not to be disturbed by the Mongolians around Datong, Wei Chen expelled them.
After passing the news back, the Mongols used this as an excuse to gather a lot of soldiers and horses, and they are already heading towards Datong!"
"Oh, which tribe is it?" Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, and what was revealed in the gaps in his eyes was a trace of burning heat that Wang Fu couldn't see.
"It's the Chahar and Korko units. It was reported that they were almost deployed in full force!" Facing the emperor, Wang Fu knew the military information, but he didn't dare to conceal it at all. The two Chahar and Korko units were under Tu Mengke's command.
Two of the 60,000 households, and the Mongols mounted their horses as soldiers and dismounted their horses to serve the people. The total number of troops was probably no less than 20,000. Even if the Mongols invaded the Ming Dynasty in the ten years of Hongzhi, it would be almost this number.
, and that year, not all their forces were directed at Datong.
"Well done!" Zhu Houzhao smiled contemptuously. He still knew the information about the enemies on the grassland. The two large Tatar tribes only had 10,000 or 20,000 people, while the Datong Chen soldiers had 100,000 soldiers. He couldn't.
He can't deal with them, let alone the fact that he is in Datong this time. It is a great boost to morale. If the Mongols can be taught a harsh lesson, then at least within the next few years, they will never dare to invade the border again.
.
And he, the Zhengde Emperor, could comfort the Ancestral Temple and promote his martial arts to the world.
"Did Tumeng personally lead the army here? Yes, he has six Tatars in total, and now there are two. If he doesn't come, he can't control the situation. I'm here, but I want to have a good meeting.
he!"
At this point, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have entered his own role, and his title changed from the "I" he was almost used to these days to "I"
, and the mentality of being calm and composed when hearing the attack of a powerful enemy, and even eager to fight, really cheered up Wang Fu, an old general who had always been worried. All military generals, when they see their monarch's high-spirited and iron-blooded appearance, will
I was very excited.
If possible, he would accompany his young monarch to stand up to these beasts on the grassland. Even if he died on the battlefield, he would not feel any regret. This is a supreme honor, and this achievement can benefit his descendants.
and family.
It's a pity that he didn't dare, he could only think about it. The emperor relied only on the garrison of Datong. Although the garrison of Datong numbered 100,000, these were spread out and placed in various military fortresses.
The real manpower left in Datong is only more than 30,000 under his command. If the Mongols attack Datong directly and ignore the military forts and fortresses along the way, or even go around them, the Datong garrison will not respond to the Mongols.
There's really no chance of winning.
If it were normal times, that would be fine. If you want to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, you can fight as hard as you want. But it can't be done now. The emperor is in the city. If the city is broken and falls into the hands of the Mongols, then he will be eternal.
He is a sinner. Even if he is not trapped and the emperor is slightly injured, he cannot afford it.
It was enough for the Ming Dynasty to experience the Tumu Fort Incident once. It was so frustrating that the Ming Dynasty had not been able to breathe for decades. If it happened again, what would happen to the Ming Dynasty? Wang Fu really couldn't imagine what would happen to the Ming Dynasty.
"We must teach your majesty a lesson to these guys who don't know how high the sky is!" Wang Fu suddenly stood up, "However, the war is dangerous and Datong is no longer a safe place. I have the courage to ask your majesty to return to the capital.
Waiting for Wei Chen's good news in the capital, as long as Wei Chen is here, the Mongolian cavalry will never be allowed to step into our Ming Dynasty!"
"Why do I want you to teach him a lesson for me? Don't I know how to teach him a lesson myself?" When Zhu Houzhao saw the red-faced old general, he understood his intention in his heart, but he understood clearly. If he heard it like this
If he were to give advice to others, then he would not be Zhu Houzhao.
"You don't have to worry too much. You will naturally have to pay back the return to the capital. However, after the defeat of the Mongols, the soldiers and horses of the three battalions. When I left the capital, I had already ordered them to mobilize some of their elites for drills.
The place where we are currently stationed should be no more than a hundred miles away from Datong. In terms of the number of troops and horses, we are not inferior to the Mongols. In terms of elites, we have your 100,000 border troops and my Beijing camp..."
Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment and clenched his fists hard: "It's okay not to fight in this battle. If we fight, we will definitely win!"
..
Qian Wubing was sitting at the table, and he felt a little proud when he saw Liu Yunniang who was eating and smiling. From the afternoon when he heard this little girl and Zhu Houzhao talking about noodles, he knew that although this little girl was well-dressed and well-fed, but for the people
I'm afraid she hasn't eaten much, especially because she seems to be a bit of a glutton.
She has never eaten much folk food from the Ming Dynasty, so she has never tasted the dishes that she seems to have learned from dreams that are different from the Ming Dynasty cooking methods. Liu Feng'er has already moved from the Wangfu Courtyard
Come here, this is something worth celebrating. Whether it is Liu Shi Huange Leng, Li Feng'er, or even Liu Yunniang who is infected by this atmosphere, they all look beaming. At this time, if you go to the kitchen to show off your skills, Qian Wu
The disease will naturally not refuse.
The sage said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Qian Wubing is not a gentleman. He is a royal guard, so he has no feeling of rejection towards the kitchen. Liu and Li Feng'er don't seem to think there is anything wrong with this. Only Liu Yunniang, see
When Qian Wubing put the hot dishes in front of her and proudly asked her to taste his cooking, he gave Qian Wubing a strange look. However, next,
This strangeness was somehow squeezed out by the delicious dishes. The little girl's mouth was filled with oil after eating it.
"Little princess, if you like to eat, eat more. I don't know Wu Bian has this skill. Even a grown man doesn't know where he learned it from!" Li Feng'er became familiar with Liu Yunniang in one afternoon. Although
I'm still a little cautious now, but it's much better than the time when I had to salute Liu Yunniang when I saw her.
Mrs. Liu and Ge Leng did not serve the table. After all, her illness still had to be tabooed. Qian Wubing did not forget them either. He sent a portion of the dishes he had prepared to their room. The mother and son were eating at the moment.
So happy.
Therefore, there were only two girls, one older and one younger, and the man Qian Wubing at the dinner table. There were only three of them, but there was a table full of dishes. Li Feng'er said it was a bit extravagant, but Qian Wubing just said it today.
When it's time to have some luxury, I just talk to her and go back.
"Yeah, yeah, sister Feng and I will sleep together tonight!" Liu Yunniang was busy and said vaguely. At this time, if someone familiar with her came in, they would not be able to believe the snack food in front of them.
She is their usually demure lady.
"This diced chicken tastes great. I'll ask our cook to learn from you later. Brother Wu Bing, you must not hide anything!" I don't know when, Qian Wu Bing in Liu Yunniang's mouth changed from Mr. Qian to Mr. Qian.
After losing Wu Bing, he became Wu Bing’s brother again.
"Then your cook can't afford to learn it!" Qian Wubing said with a smile, "This is an ancestral secret recipe, and I will pass it on to my son in the future!"
"Why does it have to be a son? Can't it be passed on to a daughter?" Liu Yunniang curled her lips, completely ignoring that she was still satisfied with the food, which almost turned her curled lips into a pout.
"A daughter is fine, too. However, this matter of carrying on the family line cannot be passed on to people with other surnames. Let me take a closer look at the ancestral treasure!" Qian Wubing picked up a chopstick and said casually, and the three of them started eating.
Chatting, the atmosphere is warm and family-like.
In Liu Yunniang's heart, she had long thought that Li Feng'er was Qian Wubing's lost sister. This was not difficult to guess at all, and she was the one who knew more about the "truth". With her intelligence, this matter did not matter.
How long did it take to figure it out? Since she is Qian Wubing's younger sister and a woman that the emperor likes, Liu Yunniang naturally knows how to treat her. With her well-behaved nature and her deliberate approach to close the distance, the atmosphere is not good.
That's weird.
"But, little princess, if you don't go back now, are you really okay? I don't want the whole city to drag me out and finally take me out of the bed, and finally charge me with abducting the princess. Then I will be unjustly accused."
Got it!"
"What could be the matter? I went out for so many days last time and no one came to see me. It's just that I can't leave the city this time!" Liu Yunniang blinked and said slyly: "Don't worry, I really want to catch you and hold you accountable.
If so, I will definitely excuse you, right, Sister Feng!"
"Don't ask me. I came back from where in the afternoon and everyone was fine. I didn't see anyone panicking. I think it's impossible for Wu Bing to call the whole city a storm!"
Li Feng'er said with a smile. At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps came from the street outside, and there was the sound of the clash of weapons. It sounded like soldiers running. Then, the gong started to ring, and someone shouted loudly.
They shouted in the street: "Every household should keep its doors closed and leave no one idle. The general military office has issued an order to impose a curfew from now on!"
The three of them looked at each other. After a while, Liu Yunniang spat out a piece of chicken bone in her mouth and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You can't really raid the whole city!"
