    Taking advantage of Shanxi?  Yan Song couldn't help but secretly be wary, could Anda Khan really have any intention of getting involved in Shanxi?  After pondering for a while, he said: "King Yi is ambitious and has the ambition to sweep across the northwest. This battle is related to the survival of our family. We, the Ming Dynasty, will do our best to attack the capital with all the northwest frontier troops. There are more than 200,000 troops.  After leaving Shanxi, is it not necessary for Anda Khan's army to pass through Shanxi? " Qiqingha smiled and thought for a moment, then said: "My father Khan's troops are scattered in various places, and it is quite time-consuming to assemble the army, so my father Khan's troops are scattered all over the country.  We are going to divide our troops into three groups, and enter the Pass from Gubeikou, Datong, and Shanxi. They will meet at the capital. There will not be too many people entering the Pass from Shanxi. " This is true. The three routes of Gubeikou, Datong, and Shanxi are Tatar.  The cavalry was quite familiar with the journey, but from these words, Yan Song heard a hint of something unintentional: I was sending troops in a hurry!  Why?  After pondering for a while, Yan Song tentatively asked: "King Yi has sent more troops to Datong?" "Yes." Qiqingha said cheerfully: "I only received the order from Father Khan a few days ago. I heard it was because of Dongxing  The Hong Kong Guards sent 10,000 troops to reinforce Datong. " Hearing this, Yan Song couldn't help but feel sad. After the express shops along the way were taken over, their intelligence on the capital was actually not as good as An Dahan's. He was even more shocked.  It was Anda Khan's intelligence network that seemed to be far beyond his imagination. After pondering for a while, he said: "Is your intelligence accurate?" "Of course." Qiqingha said proudly without hiding the look on his face.  : "Our spies are all rebels over the years. The generals Gao Huaizhi and Li Tianzhang, who are now in great use by their father, are from the Datong rebels."  Ten thousand troops were sent to Datong. It would definitely not be for defense. Needless to say, it was definitely preparing to use troops against An Da Khan. No wonder An Da Khan sent troops in a hurry. It turned out that he saw a fighter plane.  Early the next morning.  Yan Song rushed to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to have an audience. Jiajing was also concerned about An Da's attitude. Hearing that Yan Song was outside asking for an audience, he didn't even eat breakfast, so he summoned Yan Song.  After listening to Yan Song's detailed account, Jiajing was silent for a long time before he said: "Zhu Houye is increasing his troops to Datong at this time. What is his intention?" "This is for your Majesty." Yan Song hurriedly bowed and said: "Wei Chen thought, he should be thinking  To win a battle to establish prestige, Anda Khan is indeed the best target to establish prestige." Jiajing looked at him and said slowly, "Will Zhu Houye join forces with Anda Khan to attack Xi'an from both sides?  "This is impossible." Yan Song said firmly: "Emperor Wen also launched a five-pronged expedition to Mobei. Besides, Zhu Houye had already announced that he would sweep across the northwest and join forces with Anda Khan. Isn't this a betrayal of the government and the public?  I think Zhu Houye doesn't need to take such risks, he just needs time." After hearing this, Jiajing slowly picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea without saying a word. This makes sense.  Zhu Houye was in a different situation than him. After a year, the 100,000 musketeers he had left could form a combat force that would be enough to sweep across the northwest. There was no need to take risks and collude with the Tatars, but he had no other way out except alliance with the Tatars.  .  An Da¡¯s reaction was so great that it was indeed beyond his expectation.  Ceding Shaanxi is not a big deal. As long as he can recapture the capital and annihilate the main force in Dongxing Port, he will be sure to control Xiaoliuqiu with kindness and power. With the strong production capacity of Xiaoliuqiu firearms workshop, taking back Shaanxi will be a piece of cake.  Not to mention Shaanxi, even if Shanxi was given to Ada Khan, he wouldn't care!  After thinking for a long time, Jiajing slowly said: "Dongxing Port only sent 10,000 more troops to Datong. Why did Anda react so big?" Yan Song was thinking about it all night last night, thinking over and over again around Anda's reaction.  Jiajing heard the question and immediately said: "I should have seen the combat power of the Dongxing Port Musketeers through the battle of Shahe and felt the threat. The 30,000 households on the right wing under my command and the 20,000 households on the left wing commanded by the little prince,  Over the years, he has been fighting openly and secretly, trying to annex each other and unify Mongolia. Originally, he exchanged tribute with the imperial court just to recharge his energy. Now that the situation has suddenly changed, and Zhu Houye has emerged who intends to sweep the northwest, he is naturally not willing to sit back and watch Zhu Houye grow stronger.  Dongxing Port increased troops to Datong at this time, obviously intending to take the initiative to attack Anda. Since a battle cannot be avoided, it is natural to strike first. Moreover, Zhu Houye divided his troops, which is also a rare opportunity. Anda may want to seize this  Fighter, kill Zhu Houye in one fell swoop, and then" After a slight hesitation, Yan Song continued: "Wei Chen secretly thought that I might also want to seize a batch of Dongxing Port's firearms." "After hearing this.  After saying this, Jiajing couldn't help but nodded slightly. I might not care about a musket with a range of sixty or seventy steps, but for a musket with a range of up to two hundred steps, it would be a nightmare for the Tatar cavalry. The cavalry has a big target.  Easy to aim, even a newly trained musketeer can easily hit the target accurately from a hundred paces away. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Here, he couldn't help but frown slightly. If I captured a large number of muskets, this would be a big trouble!  After thinking about it, he was relieved. Not only did the muskets consume a lot of money, but they also consumed a lot of ammunition. Even if I could capture a large number of muskets, he couldn't afford to use them!  After pondering for a while, Jiajing said: "Zhu Houye's rebel army is a pure firearms unit. Not only are the firearms powerful, but the training time for each soldier is also short, and the army is formed quickly. Not to mention that in two or three years, even half a year later, there will be 100,000 new recruits.  Once we become an army, we will have nothing to do. At that time, we will be completely passive and beaten. Even if we want to stay in a corner, it is impossible. Instead of waiting for death in Xi'an or fleeing to Sichuan, we should take this opportunity to fight with all our strength!  Although the attack is very difficult, the soldiers in Dongxing Port cannot withstand the severe cold and cannot rely on shipping for supplies in winter. On the contrary, it is more beneficial to us." After a slight pause, he continued: "This battle is good for me and me.  He said that it is a battle of life and death, and we must put all our efforts into it. It doesn¡¯t matter if Shaanxi gives me the answer. If he wants to get involved in Shanxi, there is no need to care. Once he wins, he can easily take it back in the future. If he loses, it will all belong to Zhu Houye. There is no need.  For this reason, they fought against each other and restrained their troops. Anda had always invaded the border with only tens of thousands of troops, and at most it was no more than a hundred thousand. However, he boasted of gathering 300,000 troops. Although it was a false boast, it was enough to explain it.  He had used all his troops, which was estimated to be about 200,000. The little prince probably didn't know the power of Dongxing Port's soldiers, so he had to tell him clearly about the power of Dongxing Port's muskets, and quickly sent someone to contact Ruo.  If you can send troops, you can agree to any conditions first, and all the troops from the three west sides must be transferred back" "Your Majesty, even if the little prince agrees to send troops, he may not be able to catch up with this war, and Ningxia.  It is estimated that the soldiers from the two towns in Gansu will not be able to recruit because there is not enough time." Yan Song said solemnly: "The reason why Anda Khan wants to attack in winter is also to prevent the little prince from getting involved. No later than November.  He will march into the pass. "Am I so confident?" Jiajing said solemnly.  Hearing this, Yan Song couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Over the past ten years, the towns of Datong, Xuanfu, Taiyuan, Jizhou, and Yansui have been like nothing.  Anda's cavalry came and went freely, and did not pay attention to the Ming border troops at all. Although Dongxing Port was powerful, it only had 40,000 people. Anda had 20 people against 40,000. How could he not have it?  confidence?  Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of border troops restraining them, I have greater confidence.  Even without their help, I still have confidence!  "Your Majesty." Yan Song said after considering: "The Tatar cavalry's combat power is still superior to that of the border troops, and they are flexible and mobile. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't, they will retreat. Although Dongxing Port's muskets are sharp, they cannot shoot on horseback. Come to think of it.  I am confident because of this." "That's right." Jiajing said solemnly, "If that's the case, there's no need to hesitate to negotiate with Qiqingha and dispatch soldiers from Yansui and Xi'an to assemble in Taiyuan."  After a pause, he continued: "Now that the alliance with Anda has become a fact, there is no need to hide it. The Ministry of War will formulate a plan to counterattack the capital." Yan Song quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty. This matter will harm the reputation of the Emperor, will it?  "There is no need to hide it." Jiajing said unconcernedly: "Emperor Hui (Emperor Jianwen) has a good reputation, so what? What's the use of having a good reputation if his whereabouts are unknown?"  If I can recapture the capital, I will be able to turn the tide!" "Your Majesty, we will make a plan to dispatch troops. We are not in a hurry for these two days." Yan Song quickly bowed and said, "We sincerely pray that Qi Qingha and his party will be sent away for another two days before making it public.  It's not too late." "Confused." Jiajing glanced at him and said, "The important officials from the Ministry of War must participate in the negotiation. We must know the detailed troop dispatch plan." Yan Song said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Xi'an City is like a sieve.  As soon as the news spread" "Do you think Zhu Houye can hide the situation of troop deployment in the northwest?" When Jiajing said this, he already reacted and said hesitantly: "Weizhong was worried about Zhu Houye taking it.  Is this something to make a fuss about?" "Yes." Yan Song quickly bowed and said, "I am worried that if Zhu Houye criticizes the emperor, he will lose the people's hearts." "Look ahead and look back." Jiajing said disdainfully.  , why bother? Even if I don't form an alliance with An Da, even if I send troops one after another, Zhu Houye will take the opportunity to slander me! The winner has always been the loser, and people's hearts are just the enemy. There is no need to care too much. If this battle is defeated, even if  So what if I win this battle, and I take back the capital and kill Zhu Houye, but what if I lose all the people's hearts?" When Jiajing said this, Yan Song didn't dare to talk, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty.  A group of military officials headed by Mao Bowen suddenly participated in the negotiations with the Anda caravan. This incident immediately attracted the attention of the officials in Xi'an who were full of food and had nothing to do all day long. All kinds of suspicions spread casually. Soon, Jiajing and  I agree to form an alliance and join forces.The exact news of the counterattack on the capital spread among the officials, and the public was immediately in a rage.  Tatar is the feudal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been at war with Wasi and the Tatars since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made eight Northern Expeditions, Emperor Wen Zhu Di made five expeditions to Mobei, Xuanzong visited the north and defeated the Mongolian Ulliangha tribe, and then  It was the Tumubao Incident that humiliated everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing took the throne for more than 20 years, and Anda invaded the border areas. It was a common occurrence, sometimes several times a year, burning, killing, looting, and countless things. Now Jiajing actually formed an alliance with the Tatars!  How embarrassed is this for all the ministers?  Soon, a group of officials gathered outside Duanli Gate, the south gate of Prince Qin's Mansion. When Jiajing heard the report, he secretly cursed "pedantic!" and ordered Huang Jin: "Bring them all in and let them wait outside Chengyun Gate.  Don't let the news spread out and affect the negotiations with the Anda Mission." "A group of officials thought that Jiajing was going to summon them, but when they entered the royal city, they realized that Jiajing had no intention of meeting them at all. They all knelt down outside Chengyun Gate to remonstrate. After a while, Chengyun  There was a large area of ??people kneeling in darkness outside the door. Jiajing took a look at it from a distance. It seemed that the scale was a bit bigger than the Zuoshunmen Kneeling and Crying Remonstration event back then. If he really wanted to start crying, he would probably make a fuss.  The whole city knew about it.  After pondering for a while, Jiajing ordered: "Pass the decree, Lu Bing will lead people to put martial law around the royal city. Officials are not allowed to enter and are not allowed to leave. In addition, the chief officials of the ministries and temple supervisors outside are called to Chengyun Hall to burn several pots of charcoal fire.  , bring some pots of tea, and bring some tents from Xi'an Guard for the officials outside to spend the night." Yan Song and a group of military officials talked with Qiqingha and his party at Jingzhao Station day and night.  , signed an agreement as quickly as possible, Qi Qingha and his party did not stop much, and then returned to Fengzhou Beach.  After hearing the report, Jiajing pushed a group of officials who were under disguised house arrest to Yan Song to explain from beginning to end.  He didn't even show his face. To be honest, he was fed up with this group of officials who had no discernment at all. They didn't approve of the tribute exchange with Anda, and they didn't approve of the full effort to seize Xiaoliuqiu.  If the emperor and his ministers had worked together and ruthlessly conquered Dongxing Port, how could today's disaster have happened?  With the departure of Qi Qingha and his entourage, the news that Jiajing and Anda formed an alliance and jointly sent troops to counterattack the capital slowly spread in Xi'an. The reaction of the Xi'an gentry was the most intense. However, under the high pressure of the Jin Yiwei, even a small wave was not enough.  Not dug out.  The reaction of the merchants and common people to this matter was not very strong. After all, forming an alliance with Anda could reduce the possibility of war. These days, they were satisfied with peace.  Of course, the news of the cession of Shaanxi to Andu was tightly suppressed, and not even a trace of wind was leaked out.  No one had the guts to reveal this matter. Officials participating in the negotiations knew that if this matter were to be revealed, Xi'an would cause a big mess.  When the time comes, those who participate in the negotiations one by one may be the first to be unlucky.  The news that Jiajing and Anda formed an alliance and jointly sent troops to counterattack the capital soon reached Dinghuyi in Henan, and then they were sent to the capital and Nanjing at an accelerated speed of 500 miles.  In the capital's Nanxun Hall, cabinet minister Xia Bangmo received the urgent delivery. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. He hurried to the check-in room. As soon as he entered the door, he said urgently: "Master Yuanfu, urgent report from Henan -  "Xi'an has formed an alliance with Anda." He handed over the urgent report.  Zhai Luan glanced quickly and immediately thought of King Yi's support of the convoy's 10,000 soldiers to surprise Fengzhou Beach. He pondered for a while and then said: "Shun and Yu will sit down first. This is not a bad thing." Isn't it a bad thing?  Xia Bangmo couldn't help but was stunned. After sitting down, he said: "Master Yuanfu once patrolled the nine borders. Is it possible that the Anda cavalry only has a false reputation?" "That's not true." Zhai Luan said with a smile: "Ida is a rare Tatar hero.  The combat power of the Tatar cavalry is also far superior to that of the frontier army. In recent years, I have repeatedly invaded the border and treated the hundreds of thousands of troops on the nine frontiers as if they were nothing. Isn't it a waste of fame? However, the victory reports of the frontier army cannot be fully trusted. "  After hearing this, Xia Bangmo looked at him suspiciously and said: "I guess there should be at least a hundred thousand troops. Join forces with Xi'an to counterattack the capital. That is an army of hundreds of thousands. How can you say it is not a bad thing?" Zhai Luan smiled slightly.  He smiled and took a sip of hot tea. He was determined to win over Xia Bangmo. King Yi was too strong and could be said to be arbitrary in terms of military and finance. The cabinet must be united, otherwise it is very likely to become empty shelves. Putting down the tea cup, he said: "The capital  Food is plentiful, the city walls are high and thick, and the guards' firearms are unparalleled in the world. There are tens of thousands of guards stationed in the capital. The capital can be said to be impregnable and stable as a rock. Even if I join forces with the emperor, it will be difficult to attack.  Go to the capital." After a slight pause, he continued unhurriedly: "The reason why it is not a bad thing is that a big win will help enhance King Yi's prestige, and the second is that the emperor has formed an alliance with Anda. This move can be said to be a good one.  It's a big loss of people's hearts. This is not a bad thing for King Yi, but a good thing, but the people around the capital will suffer." With that, he stood up and said, "Let's go."Get up and go to see King Yi to remind King Yi to minimize the harm of the war to the people of the capital.  "Seeing that Zhai Luan was so confident, Xia Bangmo couldn't help but feel relieved. To be honest, he was a little uneasy when he thought that he would face a huge defense battle of the capital as soon as he entered the capital. Zhai Luan's words could be said to feed him.  This was a reassurance. After all, Zhai Luan not only knew the combat power of the Anda Cavalry, but also had seen the combat power of the Dongxing Port Guards. Since he was so sure, it was natural that Hu Wanli summoned him at the Ningdao Hall.  After Zhai Luan and the other two presented the urgent report, Xia Bangmo bowed and said: "Your Highness, it is no small matter that hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the capital. The people of the capital will be in trouble. Can you strictly guard the pass and keep the enemy out?  " After glancing at the urgent report, I saw that Jiajing had indeed formed an alliance with Anda. Hu Wanli couldn't help but secretly rejoice. After this battle, even if Jiajing did not die, he could still pretend to sacrifice to his ancestors, and then depose Jiajing openly and justly.  ! However, after hearing Xia Bangmo's words, he couldn't help but frowned, then looked at Zhai Luan and said: "Reject the enemy from outside the pass?  How likely does Zhong Ming think it is?  " "There is no chance.  "Zhai Luan quickly bowed and said: "The passes around the capital seem to be impregnable, but in fact they are breakable. If we divide our troops to guard the passes, there is a risk of them being broken.  " "See thoroughly.  Hu Wanli nodded and said: "Although the border troops are numerous, their courage has been broken by An Da. It is impossible to resist the enemy outside the pass. What's more, several passes in Shanxi are still in the hands of my imperial brother. This battle will  , they must be brought in to fight, and the outcome will be decided in one battle!  "
