Daming wolf ride

This "university scholar" is really neither fish nor fowl, but the soldiers are overwhelming, and they don't care about these trivial details.After reaching a consensus, Dong Jishu reconfirmed that there was no Jin Jun tail before asking someone to lower the suspension bridge and follow Ma Shiying out of the city to meet him.

"I've heard about the honorable name of a university student for a long time, and seeing you today is ten times better than the rumors. It's a pleasure to meet you." The smile on Ma Shiying's face is really a little weird.

Fan Wencheng didn't know that the "famous name" Ma Shiying said was definitely mocking himself, but he was not angry, and smiled back, saying: "Wen Cheng has a superficiality, let Master Futai laugh at him, laugh at him."

Dong Jishu also came up to meet Li, and Fan Wencheng introduced all the people who came with him, all of whom were Han officials, including Manchu officials.

The two sides exchanged courtesy, and Ma Shiying invited Fan Wencheng to enter the city. After Fan Wencheng entered the city, the money rat tail on his head attracted attention. The soldiers on the city and the people in the city stared at them angrily. I'm afraid that some people will rush forward to beat this group of traitors who betrayed the Lord and begged to death with random fists. [

The Han officials who came with Fan Wencheng felt a little bit ashamed, and they just walked with their heads down and didn't look left or right.Fan Wencheng didn't care. Not only did he have a smile on his face from beginning to end, but he also cupped his fists at the people on both sides of the street from time to time, causing the people to curse in anger.

The people scolded Fan Wencheng severely, and Ma Shiying was happy to hear that, and wanted to stop him, but he issued a strict order not to let anyone approach him.Ma Shiying knows the reason why the two countries do not fight each other, not to mention the fact that the enemy is strong and we are weak, how dare Fan Wencheng and the others have trouble.

After entering the government office, the host and guest were seated, and Ma Shiying asked, "I don't know if the great scholar came to my Zhangjiakou, what advice do you have? Could it be that your army is coming to attack?"

"Zhangjiakou is an important town in my Ming Dynasty, and your army can't just invade if they want to." Dong Jishu bluffed.

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "It seems that Master Ma and General Dong still have doubts about me, Da Jin. To tell you the truth, my Eight Banners army really came here to start peace talks with sincerity. Otherwise, why would they go straight to you, a heavy soldier? Defensive Zhangjiakou?"

Dong Jishu frowned, puzzled and said: "How do you say that?"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The law of war says: avoid the truth and be false. Surprisingly. The Great Wall around the Xuanfu stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are many weak defenses. It is easy for our Eight Banners to advance suddenly. The reason why we don't go further is to avoid the falsehood." , for today's peace talks."

Fan Wencheng was telling the truth, but the defense line of the Xuan Mansion's hundreds of miles of the Great Wall was leaking everywhere. Except for Zhangjiakou, the rest of the defense line was useless.But Dong Jishu didn't want to show weakness, so he snorted and said, "I'm afraid the peace talks will be fraudulent, so let's take the opportunity to attack the city, and then act out the scene of Yongping slaughtering the city."

Hearing the Yongping massacre, Ma Shiying's face also sank there.

However, Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "The massacre of the city in Yongping was done by Baylor, the second leader of our country. The King Khan has severely punished him and seized his military power. The high wall will never use it. Regarding military discipline, my Khan Wang attaches great importance to it. Before the army marches, it must be repeatedly announced. However, violations of military discipline still happen occasionally, and Amin is one of them. In fact, violations of military discipline have never been completely eradicated since ancient times. In the second year of Chongzhen Our army came to the capital. Didn’t the Shanxi governor Geng Ruqi’s Qin Wang’s division also wantonly plunder the people of the capital? Now there are no less than a hundred Ming officials serving in our Dajin, including Li Yongfang, Bao Chengxian, Zu Dashou’s nephew and others. There are more than [-] generals and more than [-] people under Zhang Chun's subordinates, all of whom are in important positions. Even Mr. Zhang, the supervisor of the army, has been favored and supported all the time. These are enough to prove the benevolent government of our Khan. You can rest assured that our army is indeed here to open up border trade and take advantage of other plans."

After hearing what Fan Wencheng said, Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu looked at each other, wondering if they should believe him.

"The matter of the peace talks is of great importance. It is not up to the two of us to make the decision. If your army really wants to trade, Ma can report the intention of the peace talks to the imperial court, and the imperial court will make a decision."

Ma Shiying was not able to bear the charge of opening peace talks with Donglu without authorization. He was going to make an excuse to report and delay for a while, so that the court could send reinforcements in time. As for whether to negotiate peace, it was not Ma Shiying's responsibility.

Fan Wencheng knew that the former governor Shen Qi was dismissed because of his private peace talks with Da Jin, so although he knew that Ma Shiying was using this as an excuse to slow down the troops, he didn't want to point it out. In time, King Khan can also wait.However, in order for Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu to succeed in their border trade, he still wanted to point out a few words about them, "Excuse me for what Fan said bluntly, the opening of the peace talks is indeed of great importance. The future of a grown-up."

Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu were taken aback, and Dong Jishu asked, "I don't know what the scholar said." Ma Shiying also looked up at Fan Wencheng in doubt.

Fan Wencheng asked with a smile: "How are the two adults compared to Juniper, Liu Ting, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhao Liaojiao, Zu Dashou, Zhang Chun and others?"

"These are all famous generals of a generation, and we are far inferior to them."

"The so-called famous generals of a generation, whether surrendered or perish, were all defeated by my Dajin. Forgive Fan's blunt words, if they really meet in battle, the two adults may not escape bad luck."

After hearing this, Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu remained silent. What Fan Wencheng said was exactly what they were worried about. With Zhangjiakou's current strength, it would be impossible to stop the Jin army outside the city.Even if they escaped by luck, the two of them could not escape the knife cut by the court.After the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, he killed many officials in the frontier because of the crime of "losing the land and abandoning the people". The two of them believed that they did not have such good luck to escape the court's punishment. [

Fan Wencheng continued: "Imagine my [-] troops rushing from the Xuanfu area and ravaging the capital again, can the two adults absolve themselves of the blame? Maybe Yuan Dutang's yesterday is the two adults' tomorrow. Although the words are offensive, I still need to ask the two adults to think deeply."

Dong Jishu decided to move away, but he was worried: "Excuse me for Dong's blunt statement, but your King Khan really came to border trade, but I am young and promising, and I am determined to recover. It has already been strictly prohibited to trade with your army, so I and other side generals dare not make peace, so I am afraid that I will be of help to your King Khan."

Ma Shiying didn't express his opinion, but only felt what Fan Wencheng said.

Fan Wencheng said: "Looking at today's situation, the two adults must play. If you write a letter to make peace, the most serious thing is to dismiss the office; if you don't play, there will be a war, and the Xuanfu Jingji area will inevitably suffer. Once defeated, the two A grown-up can go to prison if it is light, and if it is serious, it will be passed on to the Nine Sides."

"Forget it, since the left and the right are dead, it's better to fight. Dong Mou is determined to make a move on this matter, and he will go back and ask someone to write to the court. How do you agree with Master Futai?" Yu Qi said that Dong Jishu was caught by Fan Wencheng's tongue-in-cheek To be moved, it would be better to say that he was moved by the tens of thousands of gold troops outside the city.

Ma Shiying gave him a sideways glance, and said calmly to Fan Wencheng: "This matter concerns the lives of both of us, the bachelor can go back first, how about I reply after we have discussed it?"

Fan Wencheng smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then Fan will leave."

At that moment, Ma Shiying arranged for someone to escort Fan Wencheng and his party out of the city. After sending them away, Dong Jishu hurriedly asked Ma Shiying if he would submit a memorial to agree to open trade with the Jin Army. Ma Shiying did not speak, but at night he sent someone to copy the memorial I gave it to Dong Jishu, and Dong Jishu was overwhelmed after watching it.

Ma Shiying's memorial was written very cleverly. He kept silent about war and peace, but asked the imperial court to open border trade, so as to reassure Jurchen and prevent the two sides from fighting again.

When the memorial was rushed to the cabinet six hundred miles away, Chongzhen was insisting on his daily routine in the Wenhua Palace.He was wearing the uniform he made when he ascended the throne, and he was sitting upright. Today’s lecturer is Wu Zongda, a cabinet scholar. He is reading the second chapter of the Book of Changes for the emperor: position, how to keep the position is called benevolence, why to gather people is called wealth, how to manage money is righteous, and to prohibit people is called righteousness"

When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately thought of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, and asked Wu Zongda, "How can we stop these thieves from doing wrong?"

Wu Zongda didn't expect the emperor to ask this question suddenly. He was stunned for a while, and wanted to open his mouth, but he heard Chongzhen say again: "I have been on the throne for more than five years. There are Jurchen outside and refugees inside. The situation is declining. Zhongxing hope. Yesterday the palace people said , Ballads from Henan and Hebei spread to the capital, such as "the sun will disappear, the moon will not be clear, the eighteen sons, sit in the dragon court." There is a man whose surname is Li Zicheng. Although Jurchen is powerful, he is not terrible, and I don’t believe that a foreign country can take over China. But Li Zicheng is different, he is a Han Chinese.”

Speaking of this, Chongzhen slapped the book case fiercely: "Anyone whose surname is Li is a thief will be punished." With this slap, the torn cuffs of his regular dragon robe "revealed". It was a bit embarrassing to have the torn sleeves out, so he hurriedly stuffed them in.

Wu Zongda was shocked when he saw the emperor slapping the table, thinking that he hadn't responded to the emperor's anger in time, but he looked at Chongzhen, and found that he didn't mean to blame him, but on the contrary, he seemed a little unnatural. It turned out that the emperor was actually wearing ragged sleeves, and when he rolled his eyes, he knelt down immediately: "The holy majesty is respectful and frugal, and he wears shabby clothes. This is also the behavior of Yao and Shun. It should be an example for the world, why bother to cover it up?"

After hearing this, Chongzhen felt a little relieved: "I am against luxury. How much fabric is wasted in this loose coat and big sleeves? In the past, King Wuling of Zhao Wufu rode and shot, and only Chinese soldiers wore short coats and tight sleeves. Only the common people and officials There is still a big change in clothing. It doesn’t need to be much. The sleeves on each piece of clothing save half a foot of cloth, and two sleeves are one foot. There are [-] million people in the world, and [-] million feet of cloth can be saved. [-] million feet of cloth are enough The soldiers have to wear winter clothes to keep out the cold. This is a bad custom, and I will set an example today."

The young emperor of Chongzhen always did what he said, so he immediately ordered the eunuch in charge of Shangyi to bring a tailor to see him, and cut his sleeves half a foot short at that time.After cutting, I am still not very satisfied: "The short is a little shorter, but it is still very fat. If it is a little thinner, I can save some cloth."

Just when the emperor was worrying about how to save fabrics, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the supervisor of ceremonies, urgently submitted the six hundred miles of Ma Shiying in the Xuanfu.

Chongzhen already knew that Hong Tai had led the Donglu army to Mongolia, and had ordered the Datong area of ​​the Xuanfu to take strict precautions. However, he was a little surprised to see Ma Shiying report that Donglu wanted to trade with Daming on the border.

He hastily read the memorial, and saw that only one sentence was written on the cabinet draft: "Issued to the emperor for imperial review." Whether he agreed or not, the cabinet did not say anything.There was a hint of displeasure on his face, and he asked Wu Zongda with a gloomy face, "What's your attitude towards Ma Shiying's performance?"

Wu Zongda has already figured out the temper of the young emperor. He found that Chongzhen was becoming more and more angry. pause.But he didn't express his position right now, that is to say, he didn't object.

After understanding Chongzhen's intentions, Wu Zongda calmly replied: "My lord, the matter of opening borders is neither a war nor a peace, but Ma Shiying and others are in charge of business matters." [

What Wu Zongda said was naturally in line with Chongzhen's intentions, he nodded and said: "This is a good way, Jurchen's trip is for Mongolia, and they don't want to make a profit out of their mouths, and they definitely don't really want to join the bandits, and there is no loss for me, Daming. "

"What the Holy Majesty said is true." Wu Zongda hurriedly nodded in agreement.Wang Chengen followed his usual practice and never talked too much about political affairs.

Putting down Ma Shiying's memorabilia, Chongzhen said with emotion: "The biggest worry today is not the Eastern captives, but the exile thieves. Our court should concentrate all our forces to wipe out the two thieves Gao and Zhang. At this time, we must not fight against the Eastern captives again, otherwise It is difficult to achieve full success if one loses sight of the other.”

Just as Wu Zongda was about to echo a few words, he saw a little eunuch rushing into the hall with a seal. Wang Chengen took it and glanced at it, his expression changed drastically, and he stepped forward and handed it to Chongzhen in three steps at a time.

Chongzhen took it and opened it, his expression changed, and he immediately threw the watch on the ground, almost roaring: "Shi Dayong, you are so courageous!"
