.Chapter 779 The battle is in full swing
First grade of official residence - Master Sanjie
As expected, silent was right. As the most intimate talent in the royal palace, Lu Lun was quickly valued by King Yu, and even more because of his loyal performance during Jiajing's serious illness, he was trusted by His Highness Yu. But in this way, it is not guaranteed that he can take over the Jinyiwei, because after all, his family's foundation in Jinyiwei was too deep, and changing his brother to his younger brother was just a change of soup or medicine. Even if the emperor felt it was indifferent, it was inevitable that villains would gossip and could not convince the public.
But it doesn't matter. There is a second move in silence, and he takes retreat as advance. At the beginning of King Yu's ascending the throne, Lu Gang, who was the commander of the Jinyiwei and the commander of the imperial guards, and the Thirteen Grand Guards under his command, wrote a letter to ask for the transfer. He said it was very sincere. Once the emperor was the emperor, the eagle and dog, we should not control the ears, eyes, minions, and hope to go, and give us a full name.
A group of spies seeking fame and honor is really a big laugh, but Emperor Longqing was very pleased. Although they all knew that the new king would have a metabolism, and they might know the destiny and give up their power. What moved the emperor even more was that they actually asked to go to the nine sides to spy on military affairs and serve as the expulsion of the shoe captains.
What kind of sentiment is that I am willing to give up the comfortable life in the capital and go to the bitter and cold frontier areas to serve the country? If the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were like this, then what would I worry about being the emperor? Longqing's heart completely softened and he tried to keep it several times. Seeing that they had decided to leave, he reluctantly agreed to their request. It was reasonable and the emperor could not treat them badly, but Longqing was so poor that he could not even give up gold, silver and wealth, and could only use his own power. Appointing an official is different from a civil servant. If he was granted a few military generals, the emperor could still have the final say. So he promoted Lu Gang and the others to the level, and all the funds for military work were spent by the Jinyiwei.
Emperor Longqing, who had a certain understanding of the importance of intelligence work, could not allow the Jinyiwei structure of the Beijing Jinyiwei to be paralyzed, so he ordered the Thirteenth Prince to keep the two of them, and assist the successor commander and assistant the affairs of the Jinyiwei.
As for the candidate for the commander, it was also a bit of luck to Lu Lun, because the emperor originally wanted his uncle, the younger brother of Concubine Du Kang, who was already regarded as the earl. However, the old brother was not a capable person. He did several errands in succession, which made the internal resentment soaring, which was really embarrassing. Longqing then thought of Lu Lun. There were two wonderful things about using Lu Lun. First, it seemed that the emperor could tolerate others and did not knock down the important ministers of the late emperor. Second, although the big bosses were gone, I thought that the little bosses and minions would have to give the Lu family a little face and be able to dispatch them.
Although the emperor's uncle is still the Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei, the most important North and South Pacifiers fell into the hands of Lu Gang, avoiding a major purge. I believe that as long as the turbulent period of the throne inheritance is passed, the Lu family will be able to remain stable again. Therefore, Lu Lun's gratitude for silence can be understood.
In order to make the connection between the two parties disappear from people's sight, except for the regular secret message transmission and cut off all other exchanges. If it weren't for this incident, Lu Lun would not have found a chance and would thank him.
"If you want to let the people below do this in the future..." Chen Shun taught his second nephew a lesson: "You shouldn't have traveled in person..."
"Uncle Master is rarely sent once..." Lu Lun said with a smile.
Silently smiled and asked, "People are inside?"
Yes..." Zhu Shisan nodded and said, "Brothers surrounded Zhuangzi and the net of today's Luodi, and even a bird cannot fly out."
"Yeah." Silently nodded, saying, "You are here to guard, don't expose..." As he said that, he was about to ride a horse into the village.
"Uncle Master, please bring more people. If the fight starts later, you won't suffer any losses." Lu Lun said with concern.
"Silly boy, you know how to fight and kill..." Chen smiled and said, "If he really wanted to fight with me, he wouldn't be hiding in this place." After saying that, Hu Yong said, "Go and inform me, and say that the old friend is visiting..."
Hu Yong stepped forward, passed through Zhuang Qianfu, and arrived at the gate, and said loudly: "Open the door quickly, old friends come to visit..." The sound was like a bell, breaking the silence of the night and causing a barking in the village.
After a while inside, someone spoke, "It's late at night, it's not convenient to open the door. Come again at dawn..."
"Then knock the door open..." Chen Si said lightly.
Immediately, a few guards pulled out a horse stake in front of the village gate, shouted together, and rushed towards the door. Just as the moment they were about to hit, the door opened, and the people outside could not stop and rushed in. The people inside were also hit hard, and they fell to the ground without telling each other in a scream.
Hu Yong led the other guards to join Chen Si in. A servant immediately stopped him and said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private house?" "I am the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing Defense War. Let your marquis come out to see me quickly..." Chen Si spoke from his dantian.
"We are nothing like a marquis..." The servants showed their weapons and set off their horses and said, "Don't fight again, don't blame us for being polite..."
"You dare to hurt the imperial envoy, kill you without mercy..." Hu Yong also pulled out his weapon and shouted loudly: "Get out of here!"
The servants gathered for a while and looked at each other for a while, and they really gave up a sharp path and let them go straight in.
"Sir, you are so magical..." Hu Yong whispered as he walked: "I thought they wouldn't dare to do it..."
"The more magical one is still behind..." After looking around silently, he had already arrived at the main house of the inner house, and a housekeeper came out of nowhere and said, "My master has been drinking, and I'm afraid he will not wake up tomorrow. I'll still..." Before he finished speaking, Hu Yong took aside like a chicken.
Silently opened the door of the main room and frowned. It was so lit up inside. The lights were brightly lit, and a man was sleeping loudly. It was not covered with a quilt in such a cold day. It seemed that the servants of the Marquis of Dongning Mansion were not as good as ordinary wealthy families.
A smile appeared on the corner of his silent mouth, and told him not to follow him. After entering the house, he did not say hello, and began to search everywhere. After searching for a long time, he could not find where the military talisman was. Instead, he found many erotic pictures.
Shunsilly took one of the books in his hand, walked to the bed, turned on a few pages casually, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "It turns out that the Marquis likes heavy-tasting..."
"Cough cough cough..." Before he finished speaking, he caused the step to make him cough and almost woke up. But he was so drunk that he just turned over and continued to sleep.
Looking at the bed again, there was a thing that was half a palm-sized. What was it not a military talisman? No wonder I couldn't find it, it turned out that he was pressed under him.
Fearing that there was another change, Chen Si quickly picked it up, scribble in his sleeves, clasped his fists and whispered: "Thank you." "I'll come back after winning the battle, otherwise I'll be miserable..." Although the man turned his back to him and spoke like a mosquito, he couldn't resist Master Shen's first-class hearing.
He nodded solemnly, and silently turned around and strode away.
At dawn, in the tent of the army in the Shenji Camp.
After a night of fierce discussion, the entire combat plan was finally finalized. Although the civil and military officials did not sleep all night, they were all in high spirits. They just waited for the commander to send military orders and then they were about to take action separately.
Unexpectedly, Lord Shen could not be found." Everyone was stunned. The coach was lost, so how could he order it?
At this time, Zhun Lun walked to the big case and stood still, saying in a deep voice: "Everyone, the commander-in-chief has something important to go out of the city. I ordered me to take the position of commander-in-chief temporarily and assign military orders! No mistakes are allowed..."
Except for Li Chengliang, an outsider here, the rest of the house had been obeyed by Fulun, so they silently handed over the power to him, and of course no one questioned it. So the generals rose up and stood up to take the order.
"Everyone, this time the enemy is cunning and cruel, with many soldiers and wide generals, and has superb combat power. He is better than us in all aspects..." Zhun Lun said in a deep voice: "Now we attack with less, and it is a field battle, which is extremely dangerous. You must strictly guard the general order. If you are a little greedy for life and fear of death, or are lazy and hesitant, it will inevitably lead to annihilation of the entire army. At that time, even if the governor and I don't do you, the court will not spare your nine tribes..."
The generals responded in a panic and said, "I dare not,"
"Always remember life, death, honor and disgrace." Zhun Lun said nothing and began to order: "According to intelligence analysis, the Mongols are bypassing Datong and coming to the northeast. Their target is most likely to be Wanquan Right Guard. Once Wanquan Right Guard falls, Altan will regain the passage to retreat to the grassland. This south invasion will be free of worries. At that time, not only will the Zhangjiakou area be tragically damaged, but the capital will also be under its direct threat. Now, we need a quick and powerful attack to shock the captives and prevent them from attacking Wanquan..." He paused and looked at Ma Fang who had just entered the city and said: "General Ma, your deterrence against the Mongols is incomparable, so this time the vanguard is yours..."
"Get the order..." Ma Fang stepped out with excitement: "Please give him a head-on blow..."
"Don't be too happy too early..." Zhun Lun said with a face down: "It's not that you want to fight with them, but that you want to attract them firmly. At the same time, this general and General Yin's cavalry were attacked from the flanks. General Qi's Shenji Camp and the rest of the troops will set up an ambush here." As he said, the horse whip pointed at a point on the map. In addition to the newly arrived Ma Fang, everyone knew that it was Yanghe area near Datong. This decisive battle location was also the focus of their dispute. Many people advocated choosing between Zhangjiakou and the capital, because it was close to the capital, Qi Jiguang's Shenji Camp could take up his position in less than two days, and it was not easy to expose his whereabouts.
Once you choose Yanghe area 500 miles away from the capital, Shenji Camp will have to rush over it at least five days. Not to mention whether friendly troops can win such a long time, will such a long journey be discovered by the Mongols and the more unpredictable traitors? If the Mongols know in advance, the entire plan will be completely ruined.
In the end, why do we want to go far and wide, and it is easy to go hard, because Zhun Lun and Qi Jiguang and others dare not underestimate Altan Khan's IQ. As the greatest hero on the grassland after the little prince, he was as cunning and suspicious as a wolf. If an ambush was set up in the Zhangjiakou area, Altan would definitely doubt whether the Ming army was luring the enemy deeper and trying to lure them into their pockets? No matter how similar Ma Fang and the others acted, it would be unlikely to keep up.
Therefore, the ambush point must be set where they have passed. When they have just walked by and know that there is no threat, they will be less cautious and put it in the encirclement. Moreover, judging from the intensity of the reconnaissance, it is also the weakest to the person behind them. Often, as long as there is no follower, there will be no reconnaissance cavalry that will not be released for dozens or even hundreds of miles like they do in front and the two wings.
In the end, Qi Jiguang issued a military order to ensure that he could arrive at Yanghe within three days. Although everyone did not believe that his troops could run 500 miles in three days, the military order was guaranteed by his head. Everyone knew that Qi Jiguang was steady and could not make Meng Lang joke about his life. Only then did they unanimously agree to set Yanghe as the decisive battlefield.
Seeing that the protagonist was Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang curled her lips and said, "It turns out that we are just a cover, so won't it be satisfying!"
Those who are in the army are in a competitive position and are not wrong to be competitive, as long as they don’t go too far, they will be successful.
"Haha, don't worry, the old general." Zhunlun smiled heartily: "Because of reliable information, after years of rest, the two defeated Altan's soldiers have recovered their vitality. Although they still surrender to Altan's Khan in the middle, the hatred of the three families has been long-standing, how can Altan be relieved? So although he came from his own commander and looked fierce, he was actually harsh and did not dare to lose his troops and lose his generals too much, so as not to have evil intentions again." He said with a blink of an eye, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"..." Ma Fang thought for a moment and twisted his beard and smiled: "I know, the more he is afraid of losses, the more we will fight to death and drive them to Yanghe!"
"It's the most!" Tan Lun led the leader and said with a smile: "If you use pretend defeat to lure the enemy, you may not dare to chase him. It's better to use rushing, and you can be more obedient." Ma Fang was satisfied now.
"What else is there?" Zhun Lun's majestic gaze swept across the generals.
"No more!" the generals stood up and replied.
"Go!" Zhun Lun waved his hand and finished the meeting.
The troops were originally in combat readiness, so by dawn, they were all ready, and they could set off immediately as soon as the food and grass arrived. But they did not have much hope that they could set off today. Because from past experience, it would take at least two days to prepare so many people to eat horses and then divide them into each unit. Therefore, many people are ready to take the time to take a nap and raise their spirits.
But soon all the departments received orders almost at the same time and immediately started!
The officers and soldiers lined up on the school ground with all their weapons and equipment. After listening to the last mobilization of their respective commanders, they received the order to set off. The soldiers finally couldn't help asking: "Where is the military ration? We can't let us go to war on hunger, right?"
"Don't be noisy, just go to the door of Zun to collect it." The officers said in unison.
The officers and soldiers lined up suspiciously to the gate of the military camp and saw the quarantine officer distributing a cloth belt like a donkey intestine, which was heavy in their hands, and some were even warm.
They were told that the food here was enough for five days, and someone would teach you how to eat it at meal time. But you would never be allowed to eat it secretly, because within five days, you would not get any supplies. If you finish eating, you would have to be hungry.
Standing on the top of the city, I saw the soldiers carrying dry food bags on their backs and heading towards the distance in silence. I couldn't help but sigh and said to the people around me: "Fifty thousand intestinal bags filled with gloss can be prepared overnight. Brother Taiyue, I am really a god!"
Standing beside him was Zhang Juzheng, who raised military rations overnight. He smiled hoarsely with a pair of black eyes, "I have millions of residents in my capital, only 50,000 intestinal cloth bags, and each household has less than one." He said seriously, "I have really seen what the people mean. When I heard that it was preparing dry food for the soldiers who made shoes, the security chiefs all actively claimed it. If you want eighty families, I will want one hundred, for fear of falling behind others, and all delivered on time." He was also excited, "What is even more touching is that there is no one paying less, but most of them paid a lot more. When the count was just now, there were more than 8,600 more... This time it was definitely enough."
"I really know what Xiang Yu feels this time." Chen Si was also moved: "If this battle is not good, I will have no face to see the elders of the capital."
"Don't be stressed." Zhang Juzheng whispered: "Just just go and fight, the teacher has me, and you won't be hindered."
"Thank you!" Chen Si patted his shoulder and whispered: "It's hard for you..." Zhang Juzheng was a man who was willing to take responsibility. Not to mention anything else, just say that this time mobilizing the people of the city to prepare food for the army would greatly hurt some people in the court. The unnecessary self-esteem According to their theory, no matter how poor the national treasury is, it cannot be borrowed from the people, otherwise how can the court's face remain?
So there must be some guys who are full and have nothing to do. There are some memorials there to impeach Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng was indeed a little worried, and then he returned to his original state: "Where do you think so much, just concentrate on fighting! After winning the battle, you are good, and I am good, otherwise, let's go to prison together."
"Yes." Silence focused his head" clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye!"
"Respect the good news." Zhang Juzheng also clasped his fists and said.
"Okay!" Silent responded simply, then lifted the scarlet cloak behind him and stepped down the city tower.
Chapter completed!
