Taiyuan, the Palace of the Prince of Jin. The sky was gloomy, and goose-feather-like snow was flying in the sky. In just half a day, the vast land was covered in silver. Huang Jin stood outside the Chengyun Hall, with his hands folded in his sleeves. He stared blankly at the heavy snow in the sky, his face full of worry. I wonder if such bad weather will have an impact on the war situation in the northwest. This is Jiajing's last hope. If they can't annihilate King Yi and the main force of the Dongxing Port Guard in one battle if they join forces with 300,000 Tatar cavalry, Jiajing will They were really at the end of their rope and would never have any chance to compete with King Yi for supremacy. He couldn't imagine what would happen to Jiajing once they were defeated. Jiajing's mood has been extremely bad these days, and he often gets angry. The eunuchs and maids who were waiting in front of him were originally everyone vying to serve in front of the emperor, but now they are all on tenterhooks, for fear of being forced to wait in front of Jiajing, and he is trying his best not to Jiajing wandered forward. "Eunuch Huang, Master Chief Assistant and Master Lu are here." A young eunuch reminded softly. Huang Jin looked sideways and saw Yan Song and Lu Bing coming out of the snow. There was a thin layer of snow on their heads and shoulders. Seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He had an ominous premonition in his heart and hurriedly greeted them. Step by step, he said softly: "But is there a battle report?" Yan Song glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "The emperor is seeing someone?" "No." Huang Jin said hurriedly: "I am reading a book and I am in a bad mood." Hearing that Jiajing In a bad mood, Yan Song hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Report it." "Xuanfu five hundred miles is urgent." Lu Bing said lightly. Huang Jin's heart suddenly became cold. No need to ask anymore, he already knew that he must have been defeated, and it was a disastrous defeat, otherwise Yan Song and Lu Bing would not have come to report. The news must not have spread. He quickly turned around and entered the palace. He quickly bowed at the door of Nuan Pavilion and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Song and Lu Bing are outside asking for an audience." Jiajing, who was sitting on the Kang, looked up at him and said, "Let me They come in." Yan Song and Lu Bing walked a few steps closer to Jiajing and knelt down in front of him, not daring to raise their bodies for a long time. Seeing this situation, Jiajing's face immediately turned pale. He slowly put down the book in his hand and said, "Is Anda Khan also defeated?" Da Khan's entire clan surrendered to King Yi, and Mao Bowen, Weng Wanda, and Zhang Da lost their masters and humiliated the country" He kowtowed repeatedly as he spoke. The entire Tatar clan surrendered to Zhu Houye? Jiajing stared at Yan Song in disbelief, how could this be possible? Even if they were defeated, the Tatar cavalry could retreat intact. How could Anda Khan surrender his entire clan? Lu Bing hurriedly kneeled forward. He presented a stack of letters with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, these are all sent from the Xuanfu." Jiajing took it and looked at it. The top one was a notice in Mongolian and Chinese, announcing that the Tatar clan had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. , the northwest frontiers strictly prohibited the recurrence of wars, and released the Han slaves captured over the years Under the notice were the two bright red seals of Yi Wang Zhu Houye and Ada Khan. ????????????????????????????Followed by Mao Bowen and Mai Fu's excerpts, describing the detailed process of this battle in detail. It is clearly pointed out that leading the army to surrender is really an act of desperation. Finally, there was an unopened letter, addressed personally from Jiajing, and signed by King Yi Zhu Houye. Jiajing looked at it, but did not open it. Instead, he looked at Lu Bing and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?" "Go back to the emperor." Yan Song said in a deep voice: "Ida Khan is determined to encircle and suppress the rebel king and the escort team. The main force. It should be reasonable to be led by Zhu Houye. The handwriting and monograms of Mao Bowen and Mai Fu are all correct" Lu Bingyi said in a deep voice: "Datong during this time. There is no difference between the battle report and what Mao Bowen said. Zhu Houye dare not tell such a big lie. "I don't believe it." !" Jiajing swept all the letters on the case table to the ground and roared: "I don't believe it, Zhu Houye only has a mere 40,000 guards, how can he force Anda Khan to surrender with his entire family? How can it be that Anda Khan is so ambitious? Is he someone who is willing to be inferior to others? I don¡¯t believe it. This is Zhu Houye¡¯s trick!¡± ¡°Come here!¡± He suddenly shouted: ¡°Send people to arrest the family members of all the civil and military officials who are leading the expedition!¡± Huang Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He formed an alliance with the Tatars and rebelled in Xi'an. Now if the family members of all the civil and military officials who led the army were arrested, everyone in Taiyuan would definitely be in danger, and they might also rebel! Seeing Jiajing's rage, he did not dare to dissuade him. He glanced at Yan Song and Lu Bing, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey the order." "Your Majesty, calm down." Yan Song and Lu Bing said almost at the same time. "What?" Jiajing shouted in a deep voice: "Even you want to disobey my will?" "I am not a humble minister."?. " Lu Bing said as he glanced at Yan Song quickly, bowed quickly and said: "Wei Chen obeys the order. "Then he stood up and exited the Nuan Pavilion. Jiajing was like a gambler who had lost all his gambling money. Yan Song secretly complained in his heart. After thinking for a while, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this battle is indeed full of doubts " "Um? Hearing these words, Jiajing was like a drowning man, grabbing a straw and said quickly: "What's the doubt?" " Yan Song said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years, Anda Khan has not only repeatedly invaded the south, but also conquered the east and west on the grassland. He is extremely experienced. Moreover, the Tatar cavalry can come and go freely. How can they be countered by the rebel king Zhu Houye? Zhu Houye's move must be a treacherous trick. The humble minister is stupid. I don't know what Zhu Houye's move is. Since he has a handwritten letter to the emperor, you can tell at a glance. " After hearing Yan Song's words, Jiajing couldn't help but calm down a little, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the letter? " Yan Song hurriedly picked up the letter and presented it with both hands, but Jiajing didn't pick it up and said coldly: "Tear it open. " Yan Song couldn't help but secretly curse. He tore the letter open, took out the letter paper and unfolded it before presenting it. There was only one piece of letter paper. He didn't dare to look at it. But the map made him feel strange. He took the opportunity to take a look at it. After taking a look, it seemed to be a simplified version of the world map, with the Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries as well as the names of North and South America, Africa, and West Asia. He was slightly surprised. What did King Yi mean by sending such a map to Jiajing? The letter was written very concisely. In just a few words, it pointed out the current predicament Jiajing was in. The alliance with the Tatars was completely lost. Zhai Luan and Mao Bowen successively led their armies to surrender. They had no more troops to fight, so they abandoned the center and moved to the south. Living in a corner of Taiyuan, it is difficult for the will to come out of Shanxi. Except for Shanxi, all other provinces have lost control. The Tatars have no allies and can't stand alone. In short, there is no chance of a comeback! With a twist of the pen, he thought that for the sake of being part of the Zhu family, he did not send troops to conquer, and gave Jiajing two choices, either to be sealed in Taiyuan like the vassal king, or to be enfeoffed overseas. Any place marked with a country name and place name on the world map. Jiajing selected the Dongxing Port Fleet for the expedition. As long as the Ming Dynasty soldiers, officials and Jiajing's concubines were willing to follow Jiajing, they would all be allowed to join the expedition. Unexpectedly, King Yi would actually ask for the Zen throne. If this is the case, it means that King Yi will not imitate Emperor Zhu Di and kill him. Moreover, the Zen throne is not as simple as issuing an edict of abdication. This is enough to show that the Tatar family. It is a fact that Mao Bowen and others led an army of hundreds of thousands to surrender. He handed the letter to Yan Song, then got off the bed and walked slowly in the room. Although he could not talk about betrayal. , but it also lost the hearts of the people. Although there were still one or two hundred thousand border troops on the three western sides, as the Tatars surrendered to King Yi, it was very likely that the frontier troops on the three western sides would support King Yi. The battle made the Tatar clan whole. Submission, this must be a blessing for the whole country to celebrate. This can attract people's hearts more than the establishment of five overseas provinces. King Yi's prestige is now at its peak! It is completely wishful thinking to compete with King Yi for the world without troops and money! If his allies are unpopular, what are they fighting for? For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. How could such a monster like Zhu Houye appear? Looking back carefully, he had not even taken a single step since King Yi launched the Jingnan campaign. He made a mistake and voluntarily abandoned the capital. He still has no regrets. Even if he could summon the soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Xuanfu towns to rescue the capital, a decisive battle with 40,000 Yijun in the capital would definitely lead to a crushing defeat. He might have already When the capital fell, he was captured or killed, regardless of temporary gains and losses, and then left the capital with hundreds of thousands of border troops to counterattack, and annihilated King Yi and the escort in the capital in one fell swoop. This was what he did before leaving the capital. The strategy was well thought out. There was nothing wrong with the strategy, but King Yi forced him to send out the cavalry from Jizhou and Xuanfu towns in advance to express his attitude. As a result, King Yi took advantage of the opportunity and formed an alliance with the Tatars. With the help of the Tatars, he attacked King Yi and besieged the capital. , should be regarded as remarkable. Even if he failed, with Tatar as a powerful ally, he would be able to establish a foothold in the northwest and compete with King Yi. He never expected that Tatar would actually surrender to King Yi! This is really a mountain to rely on. You can only rely on water to dry up. Even if you take a mouthful of cold water, your teeth will get clogged! How did King Yi get the entire Tatar clan to surrender? After thinking for a long time, he was still puzzled. He sighed secretly, walked slowly to the edge of the kang, sat cross-legged, and then looked at Yan Song and said, "What do you think of this matter?" Such a big thing, A bad move might result in confiscation of the family and extermination of the clan. How could Yan Song dare to express his position randomly? He immediately kowtowed and said: "I am stupid, but I hope the emperor's holy heart will remain silent." After glancing at him, Jiajing said: "Tell me what you really want. I forgive you." "Your Majesty" Yan Song said and kowtowed.It is not something that a minister can say. " Jiajing sighed softly and said: "You are the only one around me who can trust me. Just tell me, it doesn't matter. " Seeing that Jiajing was talking about this, Yan Song was forced to do nothing. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor's reputation, for the future generations, and all the ministers secretly believe it. Zen positionis a good choice. "As he spoke, he glanced at Jiajing cautiously, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he continued: "Wei Chen secretly thinks that the emperor should choose overseas enfeoffment, and it should be far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is best to be close to Europe. It is best to ask for the Zen position. A formal Zen ceremony was held in the capital. " Holding a formal Zen ceremony in the capital is certainly what King Toyi likes, but it is good for Ming Dynasty and Jiajing. He can understand this. Although the risk of enfeoffment overseas is not small, it is better than being sealed in Taiyuan City is good. After thinking for a while, Jiajing said: "Why do you want to be close to Europe? " "Because King Yi's next opponents are Western and European countries. " Yan Song said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he took the simplified version of the world map, pointed to the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, and said: "This is the best location, with America on the opposite side and Europe to the north. It is the only way for Ming Dynasty to go to Europe. This place can be said to be a strategic location. If the emperor can entrust this place, King Yi will definitely pay more attention to it and vigorously support it. Moreover, the development of navigation and firearms in Europe is not slow. Jiajing glanced at him in confusion and said, "Isn't that why he is always under the watchful eye of King Yi?" " "This will make the king feel at ease. Yan Song said in a deep voice: "Furthermore, this place is large enough, has great room for development, and is far enough away from Ming Dynasty." " Jiajing looked at the place in West Africa carefully. After a long while, he sighed and said gloomily: "Let's talk about this slowly and tell Lu Bing not to arrest people. " "We all obey the decree. " Yan Song hurriedly bowed and said. The 40,000 Tatar cavalry and escort troops from all walks of life slowly evacuated Xuanfu. Along the way, notices were posted that the Tatar clan surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This news soon spread in Xuanfu, Datong, Ji The news spread across the three towns of the prefecture and reached the capital. The entire capital burst into cheers and everyone was in high spirits. Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, preparing to welcome King Yi back to the capital. Almost at the same time, the Jinling Newspaper also reported this story in front-page headlines! Great news! The Tatars and Jiajing jointly dispatched more than 400,000 troops to besiege the capital. In order to save the people in the capital of Shandong and Henan from the war, King Yi ignored his own safety and led 40,000 guards to move to Datong. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty was watching. Now King Yi not only won a victory, but also forced the entire Tatar clan to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This is simply an unbelievable miracle! When King Yi came out of seclusion, no one dared to expect Yi. As long as the king is not defeated, everyone will be satisfied. Who dares to imagine that King Yi can actually win a big victory, wipe out the humiliation of Tumubao, and force the Tatar clan to surrender. With the dispatch of the Jinling News, the entire Ming Dynasty was moved! Rejoice! The Tatar clan surrendered. This was a real national celebration for the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many northern expeditions, and the Wac and Tatars have also invaded the south. The two sides have fought intermittently for nearly two hundred years. Years ago, I don¡¯t know how much manpower, material and financial resources were consumed, and I don¡¯t know how many casualties it caused. Now that the Ming Dynasty has finally won the most complete victory, how can people not be ecstatic while everyone is still immersed in the Tatar clan? In the midst of the joy of surrender, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jinling News once again published a piece of news that everyone could not believe. Emperor Jiajing was preparing to give the throne to King Yi! (To be continued)
