After Xu Xianchun entered the palace, he did not go directly to check the room. Instead, he asked a young eunuch to invite the British prince to a hidden corner.
After Xu Xianchun reported the matter, the old and mature Zhang Weixian also showed an expression of disbelief, and then began to wander around, obviously he could not make up his mind.
"My lord, if you let things go, I'm afraid these people will take advantage of them. To protect the stability of the capital, I think it's better to cut through the mess quickly!"
When Zhang Weixian heard what Xu Xianchun said, he immediately stopped him and said:
"No!"
"You must not act rashly. Now they are just showing off a little bit. If they start a big fight, wouldn't they just give those who are interested a reason to cause trouble?"
Although Xu Xianchun also understood this truth, he still said:
"But are they allowed to behave like this? My lord, they are now planning to conspire to assassinate Your Majesty!"
Zhang Weixian thought for a moment and said:
"Send someone to find that servant, and then monitor the ministers in the court, especially the civil servants. Come find Wei Zhongxian!"
I heard that the Duke meant to hand over the matter to Wei Zhongxian? How could that be possible? When he was about to fight for it, he was interrupted by Zhang Weixian:
"I have my own reasons, go ahead!"
It's not that Zhang Weixian has a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian, or that he wants to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, but that he remembered what His Majesty said to him before leaving.
"Old Duke, although Wei Zhongxian is a minister, his thinking and methods are not comparable to others. If there are signs of unrest, you can arrange for this person to deal with it!"
Zhang Weixian didn't know why His Majesty said this to him. Could it be that he had expected it?
Wei Zhongxian was in charge of palace affairs, so he quickly came to the cabinet to check the room.
"Why does the prince come to our house?"
Zhang Weixian did not be polite to him and said bluntly:
"The capital has been unstable recently!"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he knew that he needed to take action. Anyway, the British prince would not let Xu Xianchun come to him.
"My lord, just tell me!"
"According to the Jin Yiwei report, Chen Suoxue, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is suspected of instructing his servants to contact outside the customs in an attempt to harm His Majesty. Although Jin Yiwei witnessed it with his own eyes, there is no conclusive evidence after all."
"Now that His Majesty is away, in order to protect the safety of the capital, I did not alert the enemy, so I would like to ask the factory owner to investigate secretly!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled evilly, cupped his hands and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, our family will take care of this matter. Our family will never let down your Majesty's trust and trust!"
Wei Zhongxian now hates those civil servants to the core. A few days ago, he sincerely invited them with a lot of money, hoping to ask them to give him a few words.
But in the end, he treated them sincerely, but instead he was yelled at and made fun of himself for the scandal he had committed before entering the palace, which made him angry for a long time!
…
"General, the Tartars are coming!"
Zhou Xingwu was not worried about the report of Ye Bu, but instead was extremely excited. His Majesty was so good at predicting the situation that the Tartars really came.
He has been waiting impatiently these days, and repairing the city defenses for so many days is not in vain.
"Quickly, blow the trumpets to assemble the troops, set up all the artillery brought in, prepare the gunpowder, and let all the people go into the city to take shelter!"
Although five thousand elite soldiers were enough to defend a small city, Zhu Youxiao was still worried and asked Zhou Xingwu to transport dozens of general cannons and Hongyi cannons from the capital.
The Ming army's mobilization ability was very strong. Under effective command, they quickly escorted the people outside the city into the city, closed the four gates, and stood ready on the city tower.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and hundreds of thousands of horses galloped, making a lot of noise. Smoke and dust were everywhere where they were marching, and they were screaming strangely. If others saw it, they would think that some savages had escaped somewhere.
These people are now on stimulants, because there is a mountain of gold and silver ahead of them that they will never be able to finish.
There are no mountains and basins around Miyun, and the field of vision is extremely wide. Zhou Xingwu saw the Mongolian army from a long distance away, but he was not worried at all. He was probably more excited than those Mongolians now.
"Are the gunpowder loaded, kerosene, and gold juice all ready?"
"Go back to General, everything is ready!"
Lin Danhan did not attack immediately, but sent today's cavalry to find out the actual situation of the Ming army, because he did not want to suffer a second boring loss.
"Back to the Great Khan, the city was covered with banners. There was a large banner hanging on the tower with several large characters written on it. However, the slaves did not know Chinese characters. The Ming army was well prepared. The slaves did not dare to get too close. Nothing else was discovered!"
"Is it a golden flag?"
The detectives thought about it and said with certainty:
"yes!"
"good!"
The leaders soon burst into laughter, feeling as if they had picked up a treasure.
Lin Danhan said happily:
"It seems that the Ming Dynasty official did not lie to us. The young emperor is in this small town, but I don't know if the military strength is really only a few thousand people!"
Tuo Lihai quickly answered:
"It's definitely not wrong. According to the Han slave, the Ming Dynasty did not mobilize the corvee this time. All military food and fodder were the responsibility of the Beijing soldiers. There were 70,000 to 80,000 Ming troops outside the pass. The little emperor only had a total of 100,000 people.
That’s all.”
Lin Danhan also showed a hint of heroism and directly began to deploy the siege strategy without any discussion.
"In order to prevent the little emperor from escaping, Tuo Caspian and Ba Buyin, you two each lead five thousand warriors to surround the south and east directions!"
"twitter!"
The two men immediately left with their troops and horses.
"Listen, everyone, this battle shouldn't last long. The Ming army doesn't have many people. Emperor Ming is inside. Later, the army will rush straight in, flatten the city, and capture Emperor Ming alive!"
"Asotai, you will lead the army as the vanguard later, and you will be the first to attack this city!"
Asotai cursed in his heart, this petty Lin Danhan, I just gave you a few words? There is no need for me to rush in and be cannon fodder, right?
But he also obeyed the order, only hoping that Changshengtian would protect him from dying under the fire of the Ming army.
"Great Khan, since you want to capture Emperor Ming alive, why don't you send troops to the west to besiege him? What if Emperor Ming escapes from here?"
Lin Danhan laughed twice and said:
"How can a qualified hunter let his prey escape from under his nose? Ancient Tiger Timur, feel free to take your warriors with you. This is the gap left by the Khan deliberately so that the Ming army can abandon the city.
And keep it!"
Timur the Ancient Tiger complimented:
"The Great Khan is wise, and the Ming army will never be able to defend it. For the emperor's safety, they must escort the emperor out with all their strength, so that we don't have to waste time and effort to attack!"
"Alright, I can't wait to see my prey. If we take this city, the world will be ours. The Ming Dynasty will be huge, and there will be inexhaustible money and food!"
The Mongolian knights shouted again:
"Wulai!"
