Chapter 17

After seeing the reply, Huang Taiji was very proud. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty finally bowed his head.

"Big Prince, I still have to tell Khan about this news. Khan will make a decision at that time!" An official next to him said to Huang Taiji.

"What's there to say about this? My father is still staring at other places. The Ming Dynasty is really rich. I guess I can grab a few million taels back this time. Unfortunately, this land is not ours. If it were ours, my Tatars would be powerful!" Huang Taiji sat there and said regretfully.

"The great prince, when our Tatars are strong, we will go south and conquer the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was also robbed by our ancestors. We will just rob it back!" The official next to him said.

"Well, that's right!" Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"Big Prince, look, this letter?" the official continued.

"Okay, I'll send someone to my father. I guess my father won't withdraw his troops so quickly. I'll finally come here!" Huang Taiji smiled proudly and said. The official took the letter and immediately sent someone to deliver it. Then Huang Taiji walked out of the tent and went outside. Now they were stationed in the woods north of Beiping City. In the woods, you can see the Beiping city walls.

"It's a pity that we are cavalry. If we have enough siege cars, we can fight. I heard that there are not many soldiers inside. The Ming Dynasty was too corrupt and there were not even generals who could fight!" Huang Taiji looked at the city wall and said with great regret, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes. If he could capture the city of Peiping, how many things could he grab.

"The big prince, the city of Beiping is high and thick, and it is still difficult to attack. However, if they can take the initiative to fight, we still have some chances." The official next to him also agreed.

"Do they dare? When we came here before, the Ming army was about to collapse. Do they dare to fight out? Ming Dynasty. I will destroy him sooner or later!" Huang Taiji chuckled, and then said firmly. On the cabinet side, Yan Song and Lu Ben were criticizing those memorials, which were all irrelevant memorials.

"Hey, I don't know the news outside now! All of them are memorials!" Lu Ben sighed after reading the memorials.

"I've been relieved in the past two days and I'll be busy soon!" Yan Song also spoke.

"Yes, but today the emperor is dissatisfied with our reply!" Lu Ben said to Yan Song.

"What can I do if I am dissatisfied with it? In Beiping City, we don't have many troops. Even if we have one, we may not be the opponent of the Tatars. The emperor also knows in his heart that this way can we maintain the decency of our Ming Dynasty. We will do things and we need to bear it if something happens!" Yan Song also sighed and said,

Lu Ben glanced at Yan Song and didn't say anything. There were many problems in the Ming Dynasty that came to this day. There were problems with the emperor, the cabinet, and of course, there were problems with Yan Song.

In the evening, Yan Song returned to the mansion. Not long after he sat down, Ding Rukui came over.

"What's the matter?" Yan Song asked his servant irritably after hearing this.

"I don't know!" said the servant lowered his head.

"Let him come in!" Yan Song said with a sigh. As the Minister of War, Ding Rukui had no opinion and had to come over to ask himself everything.

"The minister has met the elder!" Ding Rukui said with a smile after coming in.

"If you don't guard the city wall, what are you doing to me?" Yan Song asked with a teacup on his face.

"There is nothing on the wall. Now the letter has been returned, and there is no news from the Tatars. I think they will withdraw one after another tomorrow, and Peking is safe!" Ding Rukui said proudly, and it was also a contribution to defending the city of Beiping.

"Well, it's best to withdraw, but you shouldn't take it lightly. If the Tatars attack and suddenly attack the city, and then there will be any mistakes on the city wall, you will be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Song looked at Ding Rukui and said.

"No, no, I will go there later. Today I came here to thank the Master of Ge, or the Master of Ge is smart. As long as I can't stand it, there will be no problem. Now, the matter is about to be resolved." Ding Rukui bowed to Yan Song with a smile.

"But you have to know that the emperor is dissatisfied with this matter. This time, even if you make contributions, you cannot show your pride. I will take the initiative on the emperor at that time!" Yan Song reminded Ding Rukui and said.

"Yes, yes, Master Ge is right. Thank you for this matter!" Ding Rukui said happily when he heard him say this.

"Well, there are no other things?" Yan Song looked at Ding Rukui and asked.

"It's gone, I just came to thank you specifically. However, there is another thing, that is, the Zhang Rong and his son are too arrogant. It seems that they are loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty. They can't beat them, and they insist on fighting. If they lose, they will be even more embarrassing, and they will cause the Tatars to attack the city in anger. Then I, Beiping, will be in danger!" Ding Rukui said to Yan Song.

"Well, what are you scruples with a martial artist? However, Zhang Rong and his son were indeed a little arrogant today, but it's okay. It's just Zhang Hao's words, hey, forget it, a fool, what else can you care about?" Yan Song glanced at Ding Rukui, then thought of something, so he sighed deliberately, don't care about it.

"Gei Master Yan, you can't say you don't care. Today, he scolded us? It's okay to scold us, but you have been working hard for the Ming Dynasty. If you don't have Gei Master Yin, you will not even be able to pay your salary. What qualifications do they have to say those words? Master, the subordinates feel that it's not worth it for you!" Ding Rukui immediately said excitedly to Yan Song.

"Well, forget it, I won't bother with them anymore. How is your son doing now?" Yan Song asked at Ding Rukui.

"Hmph, I'm still raising it at home now. That man Zhang is too heavy to take action, and the subordinates can't swallow this!" Ding Rukui immediately spoke when he heard that he mentioned this.

"Oh, I'll bring some supplements from the mansion to get back to give birth. Don't worry about Zhang Manzi's affairs, and you can't kill him, unless he's killed on the battlefield! This way your Majesty won't investigate, otherwise, if you kill him, your Majesty won't let you go, Fan can't do this." Yan Song touched his beard and said to Ding Rukui.

"This? You can't go out of the city to fight now!" Ding Rukui was also active in his heart when he heard him say this, and immediately looked at Yan Song.

"Yes. There is no chance now!" Yan Song nodded and said.

"There is a chance, there is!" Ding Rukui suddenly looked up and said excitedly at Yan Song.

"Huh?" Yan Song looked at Ding Rukui incomprehensible. He originally wanted to hint Ding Rukui and find a way to kill Zhang Hao, but unexpectedly, he said there was a way.

"Today we went to see the emperor. Zhang Rong came to me. I hope I agree to him to lead 5,000 soldiers out of the city to fight, but I didn't agree? Look at this?" Ding Rukui looked at Yan Song excitedly. Yan Song was confused for a moment. He didn't know about this, so he spoke, "Tell me in detail."

Ding Rukui immediately asked Zhang Rong to agree to his troops in the Central Army tent, and told Yan Song in detail. After saying that, he looked at Yan Song.

"Well, where did Zhang Rong get the confidence from him to lead 5,000 soldiers out of the city to fight?" Yan Song looked at Ding Rukui and said, "It doesn't make sense here."

"Didn't you just want to show your loyalty in front of His Majesty? Is there any confidence? You can't tell this? If he goes out to fight, the emperor will think that he is still honorable even if he is defeated. He will definitely look up to him at that time and compare us." Ding Rukui explained to Yan Song.

"Yes, Zhang Rong wants to follow the footsteps of his ancestors!" Yan Song heard this, and it made sense. In the past few days, Zhang Rong has been clamoring to send troops to fight.

"Ge Master, you said, I agree to him go out of the city to fight?" Ding Rukui looked at Yan Song and asked.

"Well, what's the point of going out for a walk?" Yan Song asked at Ding Rukui.

"Shop around? Ha, Master, that's not that easy. After mobilizing the army to fight, I didn't even encounter the Tatars, so I came back. Then I would go to the emperor to participate in him. In addition, if the Tatars pursued him, I would not dare to open the city gate." Ding Rukui looked at Yan Song with a smile,

Yan Song nodded and said, "Since he is going out, let him go out to fight? Didn't the emperor hope he avenges the Ming Dynasty? It depends on his ability. However, as long as the Tatars do not catch up, you still have to open the city gate."

"Hey, Master Ge, don't worry, I know what to do." Ding Rukui was very happy when he heard Yan Song agree, thinking that if Zhang Rong and his son did not die, they would also lose their skin.

"Go!" Yan Song nodded and said, "It is not a bad thing to kill Zhang Rong with the help of others. Otherwise, the emperor might settle the score with him for Qiu Luan. If Zhang Rong died in battle in the city, it means that he cannot confront the Tatars head-on now. The things Qiu Luan did in Datong are understandable, and it is correct that he cannot defend himself now. He is also loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Ding Rukui went out very excitedly, thinking that tomorrow would be the death of Zhang Rong and his son, so he was very excited.

"Dad, I have already made arrangements for Qiu Luan." Not long after, Yan Shifan came in and whispered to Yan Song.

"Wait first, wait until tomorrow night!" Yan Song explained to Yan Shifan.

"Yes!" Yan Shifan nodded, then looked at Yan Song in confusion.

"Tomorrow, maybe it is the death of Zhang Rong and his son. If Zhang Rong and his son die, Qiu Luan's affairs will not be serious. On the contrary, they will even have contributions." Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said.

"Ah, yes!" Yan Shifan was even more shocked when he heard this. Tomorrow is the death of Zhang Rong and his son, which is a bit scary.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. It is Zhang Rong and his son who are looking for death!" Yan Song said, then picked up the teacup and drank tea, looking forward to tomorrow.
