Alahumach is located in the southeast of Lindan Khan's jurisdiction. The geographical location does not seem to be important, but if someone really wants to occupy this position, it feels like a stick in the throat. Lindan Khan ordered the nearby Kusha to quickly unite his troops to meet the enemy, but Guan Ning
The Shanxi Army and the Northern Shanxi Army took advantage and ran away. After the Northern Shanxi Army merged with the Guan Ning Army, they did not take the original grassland road, but followed the Guan Ning Army to retreat to the Laoha River area. If the Northern Shanxi Army along the
Returning along the original path through the grassland, you can still intercept and kill them halfway, but if they retreat towards Liaodong, there is really no way. No matter how courageous Kusha is, he does not dare to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong to pursue and kill him, so he came to the Alahumach tribe
After that, there was nothing to do but see the mess.
Lin Danhan, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, has never experienced such a bird-like attitude. He is beaten and can't fight back. This feeling is very aggrieved. Lin Danhan also knows in his heart that he sent troops to attack Ulan City with Batuo before. Now he is iron-clad.
Mo is taking revenge. But this kind of thing cannot be said clearly. The nature of the attack on Liaodong has changed. It is equivalent to declaring war with the Ming Dynasty. No matter how arrogant Lin Dan Khan is, he has not been arrogant to this extent. And in name, Lin Dan Khan is still
The Mongolian Khan who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty fell out with the Ming Dynasty at this time, which did no good to Lin Dan Khan at all.
Neither left nor right, but Lin Danhan was so depressed that when he came back from the outside, there was a clanging sound in the big tent, and Lin Danhan's shouts and curses kept coming out. Kusha hid far away, and listened to the movement in the big tent.
, looked at Mint hesitantly, "Can we go in now? Dahan's anger should have dissipated a lot."
Minte glared at Kusha with an unhappy look, but finally walked towards the tent. When he walked in, he saw Lin Danhan sitting alone on a soft cushion. The desk was thrown far away, and the ground was in a mess.
What was even more speechless was that all the leftover mutton from last night was dumped in the middle of the tent.
"Khan, actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising. Tie Mo has always been the one who can't suffer the consequences. We attacked Ulan City before, so it is expected that he will take revenge now," Mint said
As he spoke, he observed Lin Danhan's reaction and felt relieved when he saw that the other party was not too excited. In Minte's view, it was not surprising that Tie Mo sent troops to retaliate. It is not okay for you to hit others, but not for others to hit you.
Well, unless you have the confidence to kill the opponent with one slap, what else can you do?
I want to go back and think about it, but I can't tell Lin Dan Khan Ming. The Great Khan is a very shameless person. Sometimes it's hard to make him lose his face even without his life. This time, Tie Mo retaliated and lost a lot of supplies.
, if he did nothing, Dahan would be embarrassed. However, it was completely unrealistic to go to northern Shanxi and start a war with Tiemo. After thinking about it, Minte bent over and whispered: "Dahan, Tiemo
The actions of Mo and Guan Ning's army were definitely not what the Ming court intended. The Great Khan was now a Mongolian Khan who was officially canonized by the Ming court, and he had a close relationship with the Ming court. It was reasonable and reasonable for Guan Ning's army and the northern Shanxi cavalry to do what they did.
None of them agree. The Great Khan can formally revise a letter and send it to the capital with stricter words. The Ming Dynasty does not want the grassland to be disrupted, and it also hopes that we can help check and balance Huang Taiji. I am sure he will give us an answer by then."
"Huh?" Lin Danhan thought about it carefully and nodded appreciatively. Doing this not only saves face, but also may teach Tie Mo and others a lesson. The Ming Dynasty wants to stabilize the grassland situation and ensure that the north is not in chaos.
To free up his hands to deal with the Jurchens, he really had to support Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan knew a little about the Ming court, so he quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the capital as quickly as possible.
When the document arrived in the capital, the court officials had already known what was going on there. Tie Mo was not the kind of person who lived alone. After Zhao Shujiao, Liu Guoneng and others got a bunch of good things from Alahumach, Tie Mo gave the order directly
A batch of good things were delivered to the inner coffers, and they were called some New Year's goods for His Majesty. It is wise not to hit a smiling person, not to mention that they also sent benefits, which made Chongzhen dumbfounded and dissatisfied.
Nothing remains.
Lin Dan Khan nominally submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was doing it secretly, and the deeds he did behind the scenes made people grind their teeth. Now that Tie Mo is teaching Lin Dan Khan a lesson, it can be regarded as venting the bad breath for Chongzhen. However, things in the court can never be so simple. At first, they were just rumors.
, which is not true. But when Lin Danhan’s documents were delivered to the capital, the cabinet discussion suddenly became lively.
With the rise of the Duofu, a group of people in the officialdom began to speak for the Duofu and the Royal Navy. For the Qingliu officials, this was tantamount to someone putting a knife on their necks.
I scratched back and forth, although I didn't touch the skin, but one day I would pick up the knife and drop it with blood. The cabinet regarded this new force as a mortal enemy, and Tie Mo was the number one enemy. Knowing this, it was impossible to do anything.
Tie Mo's fate does not mean that he cannot make a fuss about this matter. People in the cabinet are often more familiar with official matters than Tie Mo, and they are more familiar with things.
On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year has already begun in the capital, but the six cabinet departments are busy. From Cheng Jiming to a small clerk in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are all planning one thing, and that is to submit a letter
Impeachment of the Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief, Tie Mo. No, to be precise, it should be Tie Mo, the Governor of the Three Provinces. Strangely enough, since the suppression of bandits ended, the imperial court should have taken back the official title, but for some reason, it has never been mentioned. It seems that
Your Majesty has generally forgotten this matter. It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't mention it. Now there is a reason to mention it.
Of course, the six departments of the cabinet have made great preparations. It is impossible that they just want to do such a thing. They also want to deal with Zhao Lijiao. According to common sense, even if there is a mistake, Sun Chengzong should be held responsible. No matter what,
Sun Chengzong was the governor of Jiliao. Without his order, Zhao Lingjiao would not dare to trouble Lin Danhan even if he was too brave. But Sun Chengzong's status was there, and the cabinet had no choice but to touch Sun Chengzong.
Just settle for the next best thing.
At midnight on the next day, the ministers gathered in the Jinluan Hall. The bells and drums rang. Wang Chengen finished calling for the court in a low voice. The ministers paid their respects. This was Wang Qia, who was standing in the middle on his left hand. He immediately stepped out of the line, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, today
Obtained the official document of Lin Dan Khan. A few days ago, the troops of northern Shanxi sent troops to attack Lin Dan Khan privately without receiving orders from the court. It was unreasonable. In addition, Zhao Lijiao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, colluded with him, and Lin Dan Khan suffered heavy losses. Lin Dan Khan's heartfelt wishes
Our dynasty is an important ally of our dynasty to check and balance the Jurchens in Liaodong. Now that Tie Mo and Zhao Zhijiao are doing this, wouldn't it make their relatives angry and their enemies happy? If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid it will chill Lin Danhan and other allies.
ah."
Zhu Youjian frowned, really afraid of what would happen. He was afraid that the ministers would talk about these things in the hall, but he didn't expect that he would actually bring it up. Zhu Youjian had already thought of a response, so he spoke loudly
Said: "As far as I know, there seems to be a misunderstanding about this matter. The Guan Ning Army sent troops to Liaodong and wanted to harass the Jinzhou area. Lin Danhan's people did not obey the rules and harassed the rear of the Guan Ning Army. Zhao Shu, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, learned
After learning the news, they united with the Northern Shanxi Army and beat up Lin Danhan's men. If they really wanted to hold them accountable, it was unclear. Although the Guan Ning Army and the Northern Shanxi Army sent troops privately without the order, which was against the rules, there was a reason for the incident.
ah."
Cheng Jiming stared involuntarily and cursed in his heart for being shameless. Such words were definitely not what His Majesty would have thought of. Soon, Cheng Jiming turned his eyes to Hou Shilu who was opposite him. He saw Hou Shilu looking at his nose and nose.
Guan Xin, with an attitude of not caring about the matter. From this, it can be seen that 80% of it is another crooked trick thought up by Hou Shilu. The rhetoric is a bit crooked, but it is very effective, but Hou Shilu also underestimated the cabinet and really thought it was so easy.
Can you cover it up?
Just making a gesture, Li Chengcai, the Minister of Rites, came out and said righteously: "Your Majesty, this theory does not make sense. Lin Danhan's people do not abide by the rules. They can report it to the court and let the court decide. If everyone is like Zhao Lijiao and Tie Mo.
In this way, if you send troops privately when something happens, isn't it going to cause chaos? It is a national taboo for border troops not to obey orders. Your Majesty, this trend cannot increase. In contrast, deploying troops without orders is the most important thing. If things continue like this
, do the officers and soldiers of the border army still have the heart to be a king?"
It can be said that Li Chengcai's words were like a sharp sword that pierced Chongzhen's most sensitive place. Soon, Hou Shilu was no longer as calm as before. Hey, as expected, Jiang is still hot. These people are in the court
Hou Shilu has been able to see through his words and tricks for decades. What is your Majesty most worried about? Isn't it that the border troops are too powerful and are there any signs of disobedience to orders?
Let's not talk about it far away, let's just say that when Huang Taiji detained the pass, Guan Ningjun left the capital privately and returned to Liaodong under the order of Zu Dashou when Yuan Chonghuan was arrested. At that time, a psychological thought was planted in the heart of Emperor Zhu Youjian.
Shadow. The Northern Shanxi Army did not give in too much. They were soldiers and horses pulled by Tie Mo with one hand. From military pay to material supply, they were self-contained. It can be said that they did not listen to the tune or the propaganda. Tie Mo was happy that the hundred thousand troops listened.
In the imperial court, one day Tie Mo became unhappy, and his army of 100,000 turned around and set up his own business.
The Ministry of War wanted to take back the military power, and Emperor Zhu Youjian also wanted to take it back. After all, he was uneasy holding the handle of the knife in someone else's hands. Zhu Youjian was silent, and countless thoughts ran through his mind, and finally those thoughts turned into a void.
The shadow slowly turned into Tie Mo. I don't know when, the person he was most worried about and feared turned into Tie Mo. This thought shocked Zhu Youjian, and he frowned, but he didn't
Follow Li Chengcai's thoughts. I am very worried, but Zhu Youjian is not stupid enough to lose his mind. If he wants to compete with the officials now, he has to reuse Tie Mo and Hou Shilu. Just like Teacher Sun said, at least for now Tie Mo
Still loyal.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian glanced at Li Chengcai lightly and said, "Li Aiqing, this is wrong. The soldiers from all over the world guarded the border and made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty. We are in the court, but we have to doubt their loyalty. This
This is what really chills the soldiers. Let’s not mention this matter again. Let’s do this. The cabinet drafts an order and uses some supplies to appease Lin Dan Khan. Zhao leads the army and orders Superintendent Sun to give a warning.”
I thought that the cabinet would not give up, but Zhang Qia, Cheng Jiming and others actually agreed with one voice. Hou Shilu frowned, this matter passed so quickly? It shouldn't be.
As expected, after Cheng Jiming followed Zhu Youjian's words and agreed, he changed the topic and said seriously: "Your Majesty, now that the suppression of bandits in the Central Plains has come to an end, it is against the rules for Tie Mo to hold the post of governor of the three provinces again.
Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to take back the order, so that Tiemo can handle the affairs of northern Shanxi with peace of mind, and avoid some rumors saying that the court's affairs are not in compliance with the rules."
It's rules again! Zhu Youjian was very unhappy. Rules are rules. Aren't these all made by people? When it is beneficial to the cabinet, he never says whether it is in compliance with the rules. If it is not beneficial to the cabinet, he just talks about the rules.
When he was angry, Zhu Youjian would not stand up and argue with his ministers like a gangster on the street. He thought about it carefully and said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. Banditry in northern Shaanxi still exists. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others also
It has not been wiped out, and there are still places where Tie Mo can be used. Well, after the new year is the five-year congratulatory ceremony, I will ask Tie Aiqing to come to Beijing, or ask him face to face. If he thinks it is okay, let him
It’s okay to also have the responsibility of suppressing bandits. I don’t think it’s urgent to be the governor of the three provinces at this moment.”
Zhu Youjian thought he responded appropriately, but he never thought that Hou Shilu's face changed just after he finished speaking. Soon, Zhu Youjian realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
It seems that they are making peace with Xini, but once Tie Mo enters the capital, what if something happens to the Northern Shanxi Army? What if something happens to Tie Mo in the capital? There are many people who want Tie Mo's life right now.
Youdao is a spilled word, let alone what the emperor said. Even if he knew how inappropriate those words were, Zhu Youjian couldn't swallow them back. Moreover, Zhu Youjian always had a thought in his heart.
, let’s see if Tie Mo dares to enter Beijing.
If Tie Mo dares to come, if he can go to court safely, it means that this person does not have so many ideas. On the contrary, Zhu Youjian feels that he really needs to think about how to contain the Northern Shanxi Army.
Zhu Youjian knew that he had said something wrong, and Hou Shilu was about to make amends, but Cheng Jiming would never give him a chance, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it would be best if the Iron Governor came to the capital and made it clear to him face to face.
Already."
The ministers quickly agreed and blocked Hou Shilu's words. When the matter reached this point, Hou Shilu was helpless. He really accidentally gave the cabinet an advantage.
After the court meeting dispersed, they were walking on the stone steps. The sun was shining and the warmth was overwhelming. Hou Shilu waited for a while, and Cheng Jiming followed him. He turned his head and said lightly: "Master Cheng, you are really amazing."
"Oh? What does Master Hou mean by this? I don't quite understand!"
Cheng Jiming smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Although everything was expected, Cheng Jiming would never admit it.
