Daming wolf ride

For the ongoing Mengjin war, Ma Shiying, who had just taken over as governor of Xuanhua from the prefect of Datong, and Dong Jishu, the general soldier of the Xuanfu, had been concerned all the time. After learning that Lin Danhan fled to Qinghai, the two strengthened the defense of Zhangjiakou and reduced the number of garrison troops from 8000 people mentioned 15000 people, and Dong Jishu personally sat in the town.

Ma Shiying wanted to send troops to pull Lin Danhan out, but there were no cavalry in Xuanhua, and Lin Danhan didn't fight at all, he just ran away, abandoning the two big cities of Chahar and Guihua one after another, and finally crossed the Yellow River and ran to Qinghai. Ma Shiying tried to help but couldn't.

Without the containment of Lin Danhan's Mobei Mongolia, the Jin army could once again invade Gyeonggi from the Great Wall. In order to prevent the incident three years ago from happening again, and also to save his own head, Ma Shiying kept ordering Dong Jishu to send sentries outside the mouth to strictly control the situation. Monitor the movement of the Jin soldiers; on the other hand, rush six hundred miles to report the movements of the Jin army to the capital at any time, and request the imperial court to send more reinforcements to Xuanhua.In the memorandum, Ma Shiying pointed out that the Liaodong soldiers who severely injured the Eastern captives in Jinzhou last year would come to help.

After receiving the memorial from Ma Shiying, the court knew that Hong Taizheng was leading an army to attack Lin Danhan, but Ma Shiying's memorial did not attract the attention of the cabinet.The first assistant Wen Tiren, the second assistant He Ruchong, the bachelors Zheng Yida, Xu Guangqi and others all believed that the Donglu's attack on Lin Dan Khan had nothing to do with Daming. Daming wasn't very friendly either, and his desire to dominate the Central Plains was probably stronger than that of Donglu.Therefore, it is in the best interests of Daming to let him and Hong Tai fight each other and lose both.As for Ma Shiying's request to transfer the Jinzhou army to help, the cabinet just laughed it off. Shi Dayong is now fighting the rebellion in Dengzhou, so how can he "plug" his wings and fly to Xuanhua.

Regarding the cabinet's opinion of sitting on the sidelines, Chongzhen put forward different opinions. He asked Si Libingbi eunuch Zhou Qing to hand over the four characters "dead lips and cold teeth" written in his own handwriting to the cabinet ministers.As a result, the cabinet still did not change its mind. Xu Guangqi said to the time that Donglu fought successive battles in Dalinghe and Jinzhou last year, and its soldiers suffered heavy losses. It was impossible to attack Daming after defeating Lin Danhan. [

Chongzhen was worried, so he summoned Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, to ask if he was correct. Zhang also agreed with the cabinet.The important ministers said in unison that there is no need to worry, and Chong Zhennai had no choice but to give up his opinion of going to aid Lin Danhan. After all, Lin Danhan's safety is still very important compared with Daming himself.The decree is to strengthen the guard in Xuanhua, and if there is a police report, it must be reported to the imperial court immediately.

After the dynasty disbanded, Chongzhen lost his temper in Dongnuange. According to the leaked news, the emperor was annoyed that the Donglu army sent out to attack Lin Danhan, but Daming didn't know the news until a few months later. It's chilling.When Chongzhen was extremely angry, he even said that this was a sign of the country's subjugation, which frightened the eunuchs and court ladies to their knees.

……

After receiving the news that the imperial court temporarily sent soldiers and asked Xuanhua to stop it quietly and not send a single soldier to export the news, Ma Shiying could only smile wryly. Mrs. Hong couldn't catch Lin Danhan and go back to his hometown in Liaodong by himself, lest he be charged with losing land and abandoning soil.

Ma Shiying was disappointed, God didn't open his eyes, on September 28, the sentry sent out to report that tens of thousands of Mongolian and Mongolian gold troops were rushing towards Zhangjiakou.After hearing the news, Dong Jishu's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly sent someone to call Ma Shiying for emergency, asking Ma Shiying to transfer all the troops that Xuanfu could mobilize to Zhangjiakou, otherwise the 15000 people would not be able to defend Zhangjiakou at all.Once Zhangjiakou was lost, he would lose the heads of Dong Jishu and Ma Shiying.

Where did Ma Shiying have any soldiers in his hands, except that after sending three batches of urgent horses to the capital for emergency help, he could only cobble together a team of 8000 military households and young adults, and brought them to Zhangjiakou himself with the heart of death.

8000 young and strong men who have never been in battle are of any use. Looking at the reinforcements brought by the governor himself, Dong Jishu sank to the bottom of the water.But the matter has come to this point, he can only stick to it with the heart of death, he can't run away before the enemy soldiers arrive.

In order to boost morale, Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu took turns to go to the city, and mobilized the big gentry in the city to donate money to reward the army, and recruited 2000 dare-to-die men, vowing to fight to the death with Donglu.

On the fifth day of October, when Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu were on patrol at the top of the city, the defenders at the north gate reported that the Tartars had sent an envoy named Fan Wencheng to ask for a meeting with the governor, and also shot at the city. 』Into a letter.

The name Fan Wencheng was familiar to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Ma Shiying knew that this person was from Shenyang, Liaodong.

"What is Fan Wencheng here for? To persuade him to surrender?"

Ma Shiying opened the letter and read it, thinking it must be Donglu's letter of war or a letter of persuasion. Unexpectedly, the words in this letter were very humble, but it was Hong Tai, the slave chief, who proposed peace talks with Daming and asked to open a market with Daming Request.

Open for trade?What kind of "medicine" can be sold in Donglu gourd?

Both Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu were a little confused. Tens of thousands of cavalry from the Jin army rushed here just to do business with Daming?

Confused, Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu came to the gate tower of the North City, looked down, and saw Fan Wencheng with a dozen entourages under the city, and the dust was flying in the distance. negotiated.

"Master Futai, do you see me or not?"

Dong Jishu didn't dare to make up his own mind, he had no objection to opening a border with the Jin army. Although this move was suspected of being an enemy, it was better than letting Donglu in.If there was a fight, he was confident that he could hold out for three days, but after three days it was hard to say.

Ma Shiying was also struggling in his heart to see or not, his predecessor Shen Qi was also dismissed because he proposed to negotiate peace with Donglu without authorization, so he has only been in office for a few months, is he going to repeat Shen Qi's old path?

After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered the general: "Pull down the drawbridge, and invite them to enter the city." Then he glanced at Dong Jishu, "The one who comes is a guest. Although Fan Wencheng is a big traitor, but under Hong Tai There is a lot of trust there, let us meet in person.” [

"Alright." Dong Jishu agreed, but asked a question, "How should I call this person?"

"This..." Ma Shiying was stunned, "This person's letter was signed as a University Fellow of Daikin Domestic Hongwen Academy, let's call him a University Bachelor for now."
