People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 119 I, Cao Zhengchun, am willing to use this seven-foot body to defend our Ming Dynasty to the death.
After the character Cao Zhengchun was extracted, he was absolutely surrendered and loyal to Emperor Wanli and Chen Han in his heart.

When he thought about going to Shanxi, Cao Zhengchun was most worried about the safety of Emperor Wanli.

After all, the treasury was on fire, the ship was scuttled, and the emperor fell into the water. This happened many times.

I really don’t know what else those civil servants can do.

In such a dangerous environment, Cao Zhengchun was really worried about leaving His Majesty the Emperor alone in the palace.

Emperor Wanli laughed loudly: "After more than two months, you have been secretly protected by a group of masters trained in the palace.
And with the capital camp, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei standing by to act as eyes and ears, do you still need to worry about my safety?
Today, Chen Aiqing has made breakthrough progress in the southeast.

The big landowners in the southeast have been dealt a heavy blow by Chen Aiqing, and are now in the final stages of finishing.
Chen Aiqing meant to nationalize all the money of all the big landowners in the southeast.
So he still needs to stay in the southeast for at least two or three months.
Nowadays, all the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi are richer than those in the southeast.

If you say so, a lot of money is in their hands and not in my hands, can I not feel itchy in my heart?
Your mission is to go to Shanxi and be like Chen Aiqing, and use those Tatar bastards as thugs of our Ming Dynasty.
It is your mission to get back the money and lives of those wealthy locals in Shanxi.

As for my safety, there is no need for you to worry, I will take care of myself. "

Cao Zhengchun finally felt relieved after hearing what Emperor Wanli said.

In the past few months, he has really cultivated a team of five hundred masters. These people are absolutely loyal to the emperor, absolutely loyal to Chen Han, and guard the emperor personally.

Moreover, after Empress Dowager Li and others were kicked out of the palace, no one in the palace would oppose the emperor.

Furthermore, after so many palace maids and eunuchs were eliminated, the institutions in the palace were streamlined a lot.

The personnel have been screened and those who remain are loyal and reliable, so we can rest assured.

Then Emperor Wanli took out a few tips and gave them to Cao Zhengchun, "Here are some instructions I gave you and the inscriptions stamped with my jade seal.

After you arrive in Shanxi, you should be able to act according to my orders.
As for the specific process, you don’t need to ask for instructions all the time. Just do it at your own pace. I believe in you. "

Cao Zhengchun was extremely moved. After receiving the kit, he immediately left the palace that night with a few close associates.

Then a thousand elites were selected from the three major camps in the capital and rode westward on fast horses.

Along the way, they changed horses without changing people, and headed straight to Shanxi.

It should be said that the situation of the civil servants in the capital is cautious enough.

But they also ignored the permeability of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Although Emperor Wanli could not accurately know how many Tatars came,
But through monitoring these officials in the capital, he knew that the Tatars would definitely go south.

……

On the third day, Cao Zhengchun arrived in Shanxi.

On his first day in Shanxi, Cao Zhengchun learned a piece of news that made him very angry.

It turned out that within just a few days, the Tatars began to invade south. This time, the number of troops actually reached 20,000.

After Cao Zhengchun came to the local area, he disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and asked around in the teahouse to find out.

It turns out that after so many years of attack by the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars actually no longer have much strength.
Especially during the years when Wang Chonggu was the governor of Xuanda and the Ma family was the commander-in-chief of Datong, the blow to the Tatars was particularly severe.

Logically speaking, with such elite soldiers and generals, it would be difficult for the Tatars to bypass them and directly invade the Ming Dynasty.

However, a Shanxi businessman provided intelligence, and the 20,000 Tatar troops actually bypassed the defense of Datong's commander-in-chief, Magui, and suddenly entered Datong from a small road.

When Cao Zhengchun and others arrived, many important obstacles in Datong had been breached. Although there were not many casualties among officers and soldiers, many people were plundered.

When Cao Zhengchun arrived, he heard that five or six villages near Datong had been looted. All the men were killed, many women were defiled, and all their property was robbed.

The general of Datong was so angry that he jumped up and down.

The Ma family has been guarding Datong for generations, and they know very well that according to the current deployment, these Tatars cannot easily attack Datong. Someone must have leaked the information.

He also knew very well that these Shanxi merchants in Shanxi were all very powerful. Taking advantage of the opportunity of doing business, they were not only rampant inside the pass, but also had their footprints on the Mongolian grasslands outside the pass.
If they leaked the information, even if Ma Gui had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible to defend him. After Cao Zhengchun came to Datong, he heard that this Magui had been guarding this place for generations.

Although Ma Gui is a bit arrogant and domineering, he has outstanding abilities.

He has always been a figure like the God of War in Datong,

Now that his defense lines have been breached, Ma Gui is angry but also realizes the seriousness, so he has written to the court requesting that military pay be allocated to strengthen defense.

This time, it played into the ambition of the civil servants in the capital, and the civil servants were very proud.

Once the border officers and soldiers need to raise military salaries and they need to use civilian officials, they will have something to do.

At such times. These people will make some demands more or less.

In order to compromise, the emperor would more or less agree.

The civil servants played this trick very smoothly.

Just like this time, the attack on Datong was just a minor case of scabies. Once the Tatars entered the Central Plains from Zhangjiakou, the road from Zhangjiakou to the capital would be a smooth road.

The Tatar cavalry could reach the capital within two days.

This is what civil servants want to see most.

At that time, the emperor must agree to whatever conditions the civil officials put forward.

After Cao Zhengchun knew that the matter was urgent, he immediately led his troops to the border of Datong.

It took another two days to reach the border area.

Under the bright sky, the border is now bloody.

After the Tatars entered the country, they burned, killed and looted.

Many villages were too late to bury the bodies.

The corpses exposed to the hot sun gave off a stench.

Along the way, we saw many villagers heading towards Datong City in groups to avoid the Tatars.

They abandoned their homes and businesses and left their hometowns because they did not want to be killed by the Tatars like cattle and sheep.

Cao Zhengchun was extremely angry when he saw this, and led his troops directly to the north of Sheng Road, bypassing Magui's defense line and leaving.

Even as a eunuch, Cao Zhengchun was extremely angry at this time.

These Shanxi merchants were so heartless that they allowed the Tatars to burn, kill and loot for their own benefit.

Three hundred miles away from Datong in the desert, Cao Zhengchun proposed to single-handedly challenge the Tatar military camp.

He wanted to capture the thief first, capture the king, capture the Tatar leader who led the battle, and then control the team.

The elite men under his command were very worried when they saw Cao Zhengchun going out alone.

"Duke, there are 20,000 enemies. It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Cao Zhengchun's whole body was full of breath. He stood on a low mountain, looked at the Tatar tent below, and said in a cold voice: "I, Cao Zhengchun, am willing to defend our Ming Dynasty to the death with this seven-foot body.

These gangs of Tatar thieves are killing my people in the Ming Dynasty. How can I let them go! ! "

After that, he started his lightening skills and floated down like an eagle, disappearing into the bushes below...
