Balso Polo's initiative to ask for a fight was not without purpose, but a clever plan he came up with after careful discussion with Monlik.
And his fear and worry were just an illusion deliberately created to show the little prince.
To understand clearly the big plan of Balsam Polo, we need to have a clear understanding of the geographical knowledge of Datong Prefecture.
Many YY books describing the Ming Dynasty are mostly nonsense and fabrication. Even the description of the Great Wall is vague.
In the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi was divided into two parts, north and south, Pingyang in the south and Taiyuan in the north. These two large mansions accounted for half of Shanxi. Except for a few small state capitals, Datong mansion hung alone in the north.
If you look carefully at the map from the Ming Dynasty, you will find that Datong Mansion is a palace within a city!
Why do you say that?
Because it is surrounded by the Great Wall!
Many people will find it strange, hey, that’s not right. Didn’t the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty start from xx in the east and end at xx in the west? Classmate, yours is a simplified version of the history textbook. If you explain it in depth, some national institutions are really afraid that you will not understand.
.
In fact, although Chong Bage and Zhu Laosi are both heroes, they always maintain a strong vigilance against the Mongols' comeback.
The Great Wall inside and outside Shanxi and Beizhili is an obvious example.
If you have watched "Tian Long Ba Bu", you must still have fresh memories of Yanmen Pass where Xiao Feng committed suicide, and this Yanmen Pass, which is not as famous as meeting you, is on the Inner Great Wall.
The more famous Pingxing Pass, which has appeared in the previous article, is also on the Inner Great Wall.
Datong Prefecture is sandwiched between the inner and outer Great Wall. It has the same fate as Xuanfu Town in North Zhili.
This pair of brothers and sisters were the unlucky ones who were thrown out by Brother Chongba and Zhu Laosi into the buffer zone of Ming and Meng.
The Inner Great Wall is divided into two sections, the Jizhen section and the Shanxi Town section.
The Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Ji Town starts from the old dragon head of Shanhaiguan in the east and ends at Huangyuguan in the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Shanhaiguan and Hebei in the west. Along this way, there are three deputy generals and seven sub-guard generals, blocking the Mongolian road to Beijing. Shanhaiguan, Xi'an
Fengkou, Juyong Pass, Zijing Pass, Daoma Pass and Longquan Pass are all on this Great Wall.
This line is also the favorite tourist line of people in later generations. It is known as the gimmick of "Take-out tickets to Badaling. If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a hero." In fact, a trip to the second line of national defense, even in the Ming Dynasty, is not necessarily what it is.
hero.
The Shanxi Town Section governs the Great Wall starting from the meander of the Yellow River in the west, passing through Piantou Pass, Laoyingbao, Ningwuguan, Yanmen Pass, Pingxing Pass, and connecting to the Jizhen Great Wall in the Taihang Mountains in the east.
Zhu Shou sent Shanxi Town Taiyuan's left-hand general Zhou Degui to station in Ningwu, thus firmly guarding the entrance to the Shanxi Town section.
As for Yingzhou, where Wang Shouren was guarding, on the left side behind him was Yanmen Pass, and on the right side was Pingxing Pass!
As for the Outer Great Wall in Xuanfu Town and Datong Town, since Zhong Bago sent Xu Da to manage the northern border, they have been the key gathering areas of the Ming army, and their defense forces are quite strong.
Of course, with these defensive measures, since Zhu Laosi passed away, the succeeding emperors began to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, turning the original copper and iron walls into broken nets like sieves.
It can be seen that no matter how powerful the military system is, as long as the people who implement it are wrong, they will be blinded. Therefore, those who fantasize about relying on the system to conquer the world are usually idealists. Their representative, Wang Anshi, once said sadly: I am a good person!
Who says good people will be rewarded?
Balso Polo's plan was to take advantage of the remaining power of Chong Bage and Zhu Laosi. When they were responsible for the main attack mission, they colluded with Wang Shouren internally and externally to send his father Khan into the quagmire of Datong Mansion, a city within the city.
, and he escaped from the broken net in the north.
As for Wang Shouren's character, the third prince of Mongolia must not trust him. He even dared to kill his own father, Khan. How can he trust outsiders...
Whether the two can achieve a close relationship like comrades-in-arms is still unknown.
But what about the little prince? With 30,000 heroic Mongolian warriors, outstanding strategy and extraordinary force, Batu Meng, can he find a bloody way out of the encirclement from the conspiracy between his own son and Wang Shengren?
All of this was unknown before Zhu Shou appeared.
When Balsawa Polo and Wang Shouren began to cooperate in a bloody manner without any tacit understanding, Meng Lik outran the third thousand-mile horse and finally arrived at Datong Fucheng before sunset.
"Inform eunuch Chen Jingchen quickly!" Meng Lik pulled his long bow and shot Yang Yiqing's autographed letter into the city. He glared at the defenders on the city and shouted loudly, "If there is any hesitation, I will wait for you.
This is the crime of destroying nine tribes!"
The Mongolian army is pressing down on the border, and Datong City has long been closed to entry and exit. All the city gates are welded shut by countless long strips of bluestone and iron. All the surrounding guards and troops are gathered in the city, including the emperor's personal troops, servants and guards.
Datong City was turned into a bustling military camp.
Lord Qianhu who was guarding the gate did not dare to neglect, and immediately rushed into the city and handed the letter to Admiral Chen. In Datong Mansion today, there may be officials who do not know the emperor. After all, Zhu Shou is not something that middle and low-level officials can easily see, but there is absolutely no such thing.
The civil servants and generals who did not know Admiral Chen.
Because just yesterday and the day before yesterday, in just two days, Admiral Chen ransacked the homes of five officials of sixth grade and above, and killed no less than twenty civil, domestic, and military beasts (the joking name for Ming Dynasty official uniforms).
)!
The crime is all one: treason.
But everyone knows that this is a crime that was placed casually. The real reason is that the emperor needs silver to fight the war. Is there anything more profitable than killing corrupt officials?
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Zhu Shou's political skills are already at the level of a high school student. At least he knows how to recruit servants to clean up the armed forces of the civil servants first, and then kill the factions that are not in power.
Corrupt officials who are obvious or small factions can obtain funds and stabilize the morale of the military and the people.
As for the civil servants of Li, Yang, and Liu sects, Zhu Shou would definitely not touch them, and he would not dare to touch them. You must know that the little prince is not far away in Yingzhou!
The civil servants with big trees and deep roots could only lament: dead Taoist friends, but poor Taoists who do not die!
The effect of killing chickens to show monkeys is very obvious. The civil and military beasts in the city are very disciplined. Even the expert factory spies sent by Admiral Chen find it difficult to detect illegal activities.
Chen Jing unfolded Yang Yiqing's letter, stroked his forehead, and sighed: "No wonder he dares to act so recklessly!"
Yang Yiqing violated Zhu Shou's imperial edict and secretly divided his troops to cut off the little prince's retreat. He then negotiated terms of cooperation with Balsawa Polo. And Zhu Cheng was the messenger he sent to both parties.
First, through Zhou Dai, he revealed the little prince's strength and strategic intentions to Datong Governor Xiong Wei; then he colluded with Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and other Ming army bosses to kill the little prince.
Is there anything else involved in this big plan of Balso Polo and Monlik?
Everything is still hidden under the water.
Zhu Shou admired Monlik's heroic spirit. Looking at the Mongolian man kneeling on the ground from a distance, he ordered the eunuch who passed the order to ask: "Is Balsopolo willing to be loyal to me from generation to generation?"
Meng Li Ke suppressed the disdain in his heart and some slight panic. Before he met Zhu Shou, he was stripped naked, and all private corners were inspected more than eight times. Even the valley road was inspected by five people.
The eunuchs took turns checking it!
This Mongolian hero, who was familiar with Han history books, had serious doubts about the "Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Dynasty" written by Tai Shigong.
Unless there are dozens of extremely powerful eunuch bosses colluding with Monlik internally and externally, it is absolutely impossible for such a funny thing as an assassination to happen. Could anyone still want to stab the emperor to death with his fingers while surrounded by hundreds of personal guards?
?….
However, even if the eunuchs opened the valley, the eagle was still an eagle. Monlik looked down upon the Southern Emperor's timid defensive mentality.
"The Holy Emperor is kind and merciful," Meng Lik respectfully followed the etiquette of the envoys from the lower state, performed a complete set of rituals, and then calmly replied, "The third prince is willing to be the king of Shunyi, and will be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come!"
The King of Shunyi was originally a title obtained by Ada Khan, the son of Parsopolo. However, due to Zhu Shou's little wings, he appeared decades in advance.
"How did King Shunyi win the trust of the Celestial Empire?" Su Jin asked coldly from the side.
Chen Jing, who led Meng Lik to the audience, frowned and seemed a little dissatisfied. After meeting Men Li Ke, he was convinced by Balsopolo's strategy and thought it was very credible and feasible. He heard Su Jin ask a question
, was about to interrupt, but when he saw Zhu Shou's expressionless face, he couldn't help being shocked, and he immediately swallowed the words.
"Before leaving, King Shunyi repeatedly told me that there should be no room for error in surrendering to the Chinese Empire this time," Meng Lik replied respectfully, without any unhappy expression on his face.
The baggage that came in was all piled up in Xi'an Fort. The guard was my brother-in-law. The Holy Emperor only had to send five thousand people to follow me to Xi'an Fort. Then we could cooperate internally and externally and seize Batu Monk's biggest support for attacking the city.
This is the most important gift!"
"Oh?" Su Jin raised his eyebrows, expressing his disbelief.
"These five thousand people," Monlik said loudly, "after seizing the fort, they can burn all the baggage, and then attack the Khan's camp from the fourth prince Arsuborot on the east side. King Shunyi will respond to the Celestial Army at a distance.
Raise up elite soldiers and kill the cruel and cruel little prince! This is a double gift from King Shunyi!"
After Su Jin heard this, he retorted disdainfully: "If the Mongols set a trap in Xi'an Fort, they can destroy five thousand of my elite soldiers! Even if they burn the little prince's baggage, when I, the Ming Dynasty, attack Alsuborot,
King Shunyi took the opportunity to escape. These five thousand people are still dead! You can't even deceive a three-year-old child of the Ming Dynasty with your conspiracy and tricks. You dare to come to the Holy Lord and talk nonsense, and the generals will kill these barbarians.
Push it out and chop it!"
As soon as Su Jin finished speaking, he heard Meng Liq laughing so hard that he almost burst into tears. He pointed at Su's palm print and said with a smile: "Do you think I am Huang Gongfu? And where are Pang Shiyuan and Zhou Gongjin? Could it be that this
A eunuch, compared himself to Jiang Ziyi?"
As mentioned in the previous article, eunuch was not a curse word in the Ming Dynasty, but a real honorific title. Boss Liu liked people to call him "Eunuch Liu" the most. Therefore, Meng Liq's words were full of irony, but
No disrespect meant at all.
Ever since Zhu Shou ascended the throne, Su Jin had never suffered from such idleness. Who in the capital could not call him "Eunuch Su" to his face? He was about to show off his power and let this barbarian know the style of the Celestial Dynasty, but he heard Chen Jing coughing beside him.
One sound.
"Your Majesty, what this man said is 90% credible." Admiral Chen saw that there seemed to be a slight smile in Zhu Shou's eyes, and he understood what the emperor meant. He and Zhu Shou grew up together, so they naturally knew the emperor well.
Thoughts, "The little prince's strategy is outstanding, and he is well aware of the reality and reality of our empire. According to President Yang's memorial, he intends to let go of the west, that is, to surround the three towers. In the past few days, more than 100,000 of our soldiers and civilians have been killed.
One hundred thousand people; there are 60,000 garrison troops in Datong City, and nearby settlements. Changping Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Xian and Xuanfu Xiaxi Road Chaigoubao Commander-in-Chief Liu Xuan also have 30,000 elite troops, totaling more than 90,000 people.
Five thousand people will not hurt their bones and muscles. According to the secret report from Wei Chen's spies, Xi'an Fort is indeed the main supply camp of the Mongols."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Zhu Shou's face, and saw that the emperor's two eyebrows seemed to move.
This is?
The emperor was excited! Yes, the emperor was excited! According to Admiral Chen's understanding of Zhu Shou, only when the emperor was in a mood would his eyebrows move wildly.
"Again, Xi'an Fort is located at the confluence of Hunyuan River and Sanggan River, which is the choke point for the Mongols to advance and retreat!" Admiral Chen added a final weight and said in a deep voice, "As long as we hold on to this place, the Mongols will definitely
defeat!"
There is the iron nail of Yingzhou Wuli Village in front, and the Ming Dynasty army pressing down on Mount Tai behind. As long as Xi'an Fort is lost, the Mongols will be cut into three parts. This is Admiral Chen's focus. Because with his view of
Zhu Shou knew that as long as he told this strategy, the Ming army that would attack would definitely be not just five thousand, but a full ninety thousand, or even more!
What he feared most was that Zhu Shou would not be tempted, but it was obvious that Zhu Shou was tempted. He used this little trick of the Mongolian envoy to succeed unexpectedly.
So, when Zhu Shou slowly said a will, Meng Li Ke's expression really changed.
In the chaos, who can have the last laugh?
Is it Zhu Shou? The little prince? Or is it Balsu Polo?
Will Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and others who have liaison with the enemy be severely punished by Zhu Shou?
