I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 452 News of the Mongols' upcoming invasion
Yang Dao can be regarded as rather stubborn, with red eyes, he directly raised his head and said,
"Your Majesty, I, Yang Dao, made all the mistakes and have nothing to do with my father. I believe that your majesty will not implicate such an old courtier like my father because of the villain!

The villain will not make things difficult for Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty is willing to spare the Yang family, the villain is willing to bear all the responsibilities. "

When he spoke, he was full of confidence, his eyes were firm and cold, and he seemed to be ready to die.

People at this time are the most dangerous. If Yang Dao is a martial arts master, it is estimated that facing Li Tian's unreasonable situation, it is possible to go berserk, murder and vent his hatred.

However, Li Tian knew that although Yang Dao was rebellious, he still respected Yang Shiqi very much. It was impossible for him to sit down for a moment of anger, which would affect hundreds of members of the entire family.

Li Tian stared closely at his fearless eyes, and said in exacting terms,

"Hmph, Yang Dao, don't say you are white, even if you are a first-rank official on the spot and committed such a serious crime, can it be compensated by just your life!"

I thought that Yang Dao would give up completely when he heard this, but unexpectedly, he stared at Li Tian with burning eyes and said,

"It's worth it. The villain's life is definitely worth it, because the villain has already mastered a big secret. As long as His Majesty is willing to spare the Yang family, the villain is willing to tell His Majesty the secret!"

Li Tian stared at him for a long time, and after confirming that he was not lying, he didn't show any shocked expression, but finally laughed out loud.

"Well, tell me, what kind of shocking secret is it that can be compensated for the heinous crime you committed?"

Yang Dao hesitated for a while, he didn't intend to say it before Li Tian opened his mouth, but under Li Tian's gaze, he still compromised.

He sighed,

"This news was inadvertently found out by the villain.

Here's the thing..."

After Yang Dao's eloquent and emotional narration, Li Tian finally figured out what the big secret he was talking about was.

However, when he asked Liu Gang earlier, he had already learned some relevant information from Liu Gang.

That is, Wala really intends to cooperate with the Tatars, who are now a little bit depressed, and intends to bypass the Great Wall in the coming year and carry out an unprecedented invasion of the Central Plains.

They didn't plan to grab it and leave this time, but planned to completely set up a pillar in the Central Plains, imagining that the Daliao and Xixia were like the Daliao and Xixia, occupying most of the territory in the Northwest.

Although Li Tian had inquired from Liu Gang before that the two prairie clans did have plans to join forces, he never expected them to be so bold.

The news that Yang Dao got this time was a supplement and perfection to Liu Gang's information, and he even found out the specific location where they planned to invade.

In fact, when he heard the news suddenly, not only Li Tian didn't believe it, but Yang Shiqi kicked Yang Dao a big somersault in excitement, scolding him for losing his mind and making up a lie to deceive Li Tian.

No matter how you look at it, the way and method by which Yang Dao got the news seemed unreliable or even unreasonable.

Not to mention such a confidential matter, how could it be obtained by him, a foreign businessman.

As for such important news, shouldn't it be held by the mouths of very few people? Why does it seem like everyone knows it in his mouth?

"Fake news, smoke bomb?"

After Li Tian thought about it carefully, although he didn't remember this large-scale invasion in the original history, he still felt that it was very possible based on his invincible intuition.

First of all, after I came to this world, everything in this world has been rushing in an unpredictable direction.

It's not out of the question that something unexpected happens.

The second is that the Tumu Fortress Change had happened in the original history, and the leading party was Wala, whose strength had not been greatly damaged and who had repeatedly colluded with the Ming Dynasty for many years.

It is not impossible for them to launch this long-planned war twenty years in advance.

In addition, after he became the emperor, he carried out many reforms, especially the military reform to investigate the matter of the Tianxia Guard, which caused loopholes in the defense of the Nine Frontiers.

It is not impossible for Wala and Tatars to find this rare opportunity to hit Daming hard in one fell swoop.

Combining all kinds of reasons, Li Tian finally came to the conclusion that it may be true that they are uniting with each other, and that their intention to invade is also true.

But the final assembly location and the time of the invasion are not necessarily true.

And the reason why Yang Dao could easily inquire about such important news was probably because someone leaked it on purpose.

The grassland Mongols have been fighting against Ming for decades, and they are actually not afraid of the imperial court gathering a large army after getting the news.

On the contrary, they were happy to see that the imperial court concentrated all its forces in certain places.

There is no other reason. Mongolia is mostly cavalry, which is very mobile.

Strengthening the defense in one place of Ming Dynasty will inevitably lead to relaxation in other places.

As long as they take advantage of their extremely strong mobility, they can easily bypass those heavily defended places and invade from relatively weak places.

This is actually not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy.

But the only thing that Li Tian didn't quite understand was how they could have predicted where the imperial court would deploy heavy troops.

Thinking of the few Mongolian warriors he met in Jingxin Temple, Li Tian's thoughts suddenly widened.

"Perhaps that's why they took the risk of sending spies to the court."

They united with such confidence that Li Tian had to start to suspect that maybe even those Mongolian warriors were actually a cover, and the real spies of the Mongols had actually penetrated into the court.

"It seems that this battle has to be fought. If that's the case, let's see to the end before we can have the last laugh."

Although it has not been confirmed in the end, Li Tian is still ready to go to war at any time.

Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. There are thousands of well-trained semi-modern musketeers, plus tens of millions of taels of silver obtained through plundering.

If there is no trouble in the imperial court, he has the absolute confidence to face any enemy's provocation.

Yang Dao thought that once the news about him came out, even if Li Tian would not be grateful to him, he would at least panic for a while.

Unexpectedly, after Li Tian pondered for a while, he actually laughed.
