Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 292
The Datong border gate was facing the pressure of the Alta army. Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi did not fully adopt the original strategy of resolute defense in history. Instead, after discussing with Ma Fang, Cheng Wen, and Gao Yushi, the two imperial envoys, they also obtained the approval of Huang Mengyu, the eunuch in charge of Datong. Under the prerequisite of resolutely sticking to it, he used Gao Wushi, the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, as a bait to go to Desheng Fort in front of the main force of the Alda Chinese Army to lure the enemy. one strike.

Originally, the cavalry of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi towns of the Ming army were really worthy of a battle. In fact, the total number was only a little over [-], and among them, less than half of them could be called elite and easily dispatched. Only about [-].

Fortunately, since the beginning of this year, Gao Wushi has provided more than 300 horses with suitable age and strong physique to the second town of Xuanda by controlling and expanding the Caogan Bailixia smuggling group. Due to the dwindling loss of the large horse reserve, finally under Ma Fang's careful scheduling, he finally got together about [-] elite cavalry to go with him.

Previously in Datong City, after careful discussions, the four giants of Datong and the two imperial envoys decided not to make a clear decision on the campaign goals for Ma Fang’s dispatch of troops, but only passed a general decision: Ma Fang’s elite cavalry will not answer with me. The main force of the Chinese army fought, but moved to the right wing—that is, the left wing of the Alta Third Army—to attack about [-] Mongolian cavalry led by Alta's eldest son Xinai Huang Taiji.

Since the six people present at the meeting were all so-called "peacemakers", everyone was very open about Ma Fang's tactical goals. They did not require Ma Fang to defeat Xin Ai's troops, nor did they require Ma Fang to achieve anything. Gao Yushi even said to Ma Fang half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mr. Lanxi only needs to let Xin Ai suffer a little bit in this battle, but don't kill Xin Ai just in front of the battle." Killed or captured, in that case, there will definitely be people in our court who feel as if they have been beaten to death, thinking that the northern captives are nothing more than mediocre, why bother to make peace, it would be unbeautiful."

Ma Fang knew that although Gao Yushi's words seemed to be flattering, they were actually exhortations. He, Marshal Ma, was always a smart person who could understand the true intentions of the DPRK and China, so of course he would not do such a stupid thing.Killing Xin Ai is certainly a great achievement, but the troubles after beheading Xin Ai or capturing Xin Ai, Marshal Ma probably knows better than Gao Pragmatism.

The actual situation in the three towns of Shanxi in Xuanda, Ma Dashuai is like a mirror in his heart, and the normal defense is not enough. If I am annoyed, there will be another large-scale invasion regardless of casualties. It is sure that the border will be tense and the capital will be terrified. At that time, everyone present here will be counted one by one, and all of them will not be left behind.

Relatively speaking, the two imperial envoys were only here to inspect the defense after all, so there might not be any serious troubles, but for Xuan Da's frontier generals including himself, it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, Ma Fang solemnly stated that he would not show off his abilities regardless of the truth in the face of Gao Yushi's half-joking words. The only purpose of this battle is to "hit the pain but not hurt" Xin Ai's subordinates, let me answer Understand that Da Ming is not only able to defend, but also not without the ability to fight back.

Because Gao Wushi had already privately expressed Gao Gong's attitude towards this incident to Ma Fang before, that is, although the court is based on peace, the premise must be to be able to fight.It is necessary to "can fight and fight" to make Al Da calm down and offer tribute.

Because only in this way, the imperial court will gain face, and the cabinet ministers of the Lord and Peace will be able to persuade and guide hundreds of officials, and reverse the abnormal political thinking of the Ming court that no matter how bad the actual situation is, all enemies must fight to the end.

This is actually one of the chronic illnesses of the Ming Dynasty, that is, face is more important than heart. If you dare not give me face, then I will fight for the face, and I have to fight you to the end.

This is not a mature politician's thinking, this is clearly a child's vindictiveness!During the 200 years of the Ming Dynasty's kindness to support scholars, they actually raised so many brain-dead giant babies?
Fortunately, the two factions, the central officials and the frontier commanders, are well aware of the inside situation and can look at the problem from the perspective of reality, so they can barely maintain the "original verdict" of the main peace. Some inland officials and speech officials are different, anyway. It doesn't hurt to stand and talk, and the main battle slogans are shouted impassionedly, as if you can't prove your loyalty and courage otherwise.

In particular, Ye Mengxiong, a censor who is still quite famous in later generations, chanted the main battle slogan especially loudly.

Before Gao Wushi and the others held a meeting and decided that Ma Fang would send troops, they also read in the imperial palace newspaper that this Ye Mengxiong and Ye Yushi also cited the Taosong Village incident in the memorandum as a metaphor. After that, he insisted that Han Najib's surrender should not be accepted.

Taosong Village is not a village, but the concubine of my eldest son, Xin Ai Huang Taiji, who came to belong to me in August of the 36th year of Jiajing because of an affair with his subordinates.Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda at the time, took credit for Shu Shizong.Soon, Xin Ai used force, and Yang Shun was timid. On the one hand, he let Taosongzhai escape, and on the other hand, he notified Xin Ai of his escape.As a result, Taosong Village was not only captured by Xin Ai, but was immediately brutally killed, and Mongolia was surrounded for several months.After Shizong learned the inside story, he was naturally furious, and called "Military Minister Jiangdong Daishun".

Regarding this statement, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng disagreed, especially Zhang Juzheng, who personally explained to the officials that Hannaji was different from Taosongzhai.

First of all, Han Naji is regarded as "Dacheng Taiji", the master of one department, not only has military strength and political status, but also has influence on other tribes in Tumochuan because of bloodline and Yikehatun's favor. .

Secondly, at that time, Taosongzhai had cheated on Xin Ai's subordinates as a concubine, and belonged to the party that "passed first", and Xin Ai was the victim.However, what happened to Han Naji this time was exactly the opposite. I answered that he was the one who was morally untenable. Han Naji was not at fault at all, but the victim. Daming took Han Naji, No loss of morality.

Longqing believed that what Zhang Juzheng said was reasonable, and Gao Gong also insisted, so he ordered Han Naji to be appointed as a commander, and Alige to be appointed as a thousand households.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ye Mengxiong actually went to the court again, insisting on asking the emperor to take back his order, saying, "It is not appropriate to accept the surrender of Hannaji, and it is not appropriate for the court to confer official titles."

Long Qing was furious, and ordered Ye Mengxiong to be reprimanded for "spreading chaos, demoting him to a second grade, and transferring him to another post."At this time, the controversy caused by the surrender of Hannaji was subsided within the court.

At this time, it depends on whether Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi can stabilize the border situation, and whether Ma Fang can achieve the results of the battle, so that I dare not use war to force Daming to return Hannaji.

　Hurry up slowly, still because of hand pain, I am really not fast, it was delayed until after 0:[-], I am very sorry... In addition, thank the book friend "fengjiyue" for the reward, thank you!
