Daming reckless man

Chapter 14 The Courier of the Tartars

Chapter 14
Jiajing heard Ding Rukui say that he hoped to have two days of comfort, but now that Qin Wang's army has not arrived, the enemy forces outside cannot be defeated at all.

The fire in Jiajing at this moment is of course not only aimed at Ding Rukui, but also at those generals outside. The capital is surrounded, they haven't come to rescue them quickly, are they still dragging them away?

"Damn it, there are only so many troops in the city, and outside the city, there are almost 5 Tartar soldiers found, and there are [-] or [-] looted outside. If we go to war rashly, defeat is a small matter, the key is It's the capital that can't be lost!" Ding Rukui knelt there and said to Jiajing.

Jiajing heard this and sat there staring at Ding Rukui.

As soon as the Tartar soldiers came, Jiajing asked Ding Rukui to send an imperial decree to go out, asking the surrounding troops to come to the king, but now, there is no movement. Is this a problem of Ding Rukui or the problem of the general soldiers outside.

"Your Majesty, this minister should be damned!" Ding Rukui continued to kowtow.

"Three days, I still give you three days. If the Tartar soldiers outside the city do not retreat, you can do it!" Jiajing stared at Ding Rukui and said.

"Yes, I will send out spies in the evening and let them send news everywhere!" Ding Rukui touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and nodded.

"Go out!" Jiajing said to Ding Rukui very irritably.

Ding Rukui quickly kowtowed and went out.

Jiajing is in a depressed mood at the moment. The surrounding troops have not arrived yet. Today is the fourth day. Normally, the troops from Baoding, Xuanfu and Hejian should have arrived.

The soldiers and horses of the three towns add up to more than 3 people, and they can also harass the Tatar army. There are also soldiers and horses from five towns around, and they should be arriving soon. By then, the soldiers and horses of the eight towns and the troops of the capital will still be capable of fighting the Tartars.

Jiajing expected that the Tartars would not dare to fight directly with the Ming army, and would retreat first, as long as the Qin Wang army arrived.

But now, it hasn't arrived yet, so why not make Jiajing annoyed.

As soon as Ding Rukui came out of Yuxi Palace, he met Yan Song who was going to the cabinet.

"Elder Yan Ge! Elder Yan Ge, wait a moment!" Ding Rukui hurriedly stopped Yan Song.

Yan Song knew at a glance that Ding Rukui must have been summoned, so he stopped.

"Xiaguan has seen Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Yan Ge, you want to save me, the emperor said, I want the Tartars to retreat within three days, but how to retreat, the reinforcements from outside have not arrived yet, Today, there are only two days left!" Ding Rukui said anxiously when he arrived at Yan Song's side.

"Isn't there two more days? Don't worry! Two days later, I believe that reinforcements from all over the country should arrive. The Tartar side will not fight us recklessly. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely retreat!" Yan Song is not in a hurry. said.

"But, what if it doesn't arrive?" Ding Rukui said anxiously.

"It will arrive, but it's the responsibility of their generals. Why are you in a hurry? You dare to send an army to fight with the Tartar soldiers outside the city? You can't fight it." Yan Song continued to comfort Ding Rukui.

"Yes, then you can only stick to it now?" Ding Rukui still looked at Yan Song a little unconfidently.

"Yes, you can only stick to it, and remember not to send troops to fight!" Yan Song nodded and warned again.

"Yes, I remember it!" Ding Rukui nodded and cupped his hands.

Soon, Ding Rukui arrived at the Chinese army tent under the city wall, and now he can only be stationed here.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Zhang Rong waiting for him outside the tent.

"Mr. England, why are you here?" Ding Rukui immediately went over and said with hands.

In terms of military rank, Shang Shu is definitely the largest, but Zhang Rong is a British prince and has a title.

"Well, Ding Shangshu, I have something to ask you for instructions!" Zhang Rong also said very politely.

"Please, please!" Ding Rukui immediately made a gesture of please.

Ding Rukui went in with Zhang Rong, and then Zhang Rong reported to Ding Rukui that he was going out of the city to fight.

"No, this matter is absolutely impossible. British lord, the troops and horses in the capital were controlled by you before. Do you know how many people there are and how strong they are? Isn't it dangerous to go out to fight now? Once the battle fails and the Tartars attack the capital, it should What is it?" Ding Rukui immediately waved his hands in disapproval when he heard what Zhang Rong said.

"However, shall we allow those Tartar soldiers to burn, kill, and loot outside? I'm sure of going out of the city to fight this time!" Zhang Rong was anxious when he saw that he was so determined.

"British lord, what are you sure about? There are 10,000+ Tatar soldiers outside, and the defenders at the frontier will collapse at the first touch. You don't need to talk about this matter, I will definitely not agree!" Ding Rukui said to Zhang Rong, waving his hand .

"But!"

"Don't worry, if you can't win, if defending the city fails, who will take the responsibility?" Ding Rukui didn't want to listen to Zhang Rong at all.

Yan Song just said that as long as you stick to it, you will be fine.

At this moment, a messenger was sent from the Tartar side to the north. Zhang Rong was not at home, and the general who was still guarding here did not dare to call him up.

"What's wrong with this? He is alone. Hang him up and ask about the situation!" Zhang Hao just heard it, and immediately said to the general next to him.

"Yes, but, if the letter sent up makes the emperor angry, we will be in trouble!" said the general next to him.

"What's the matter with us? Hang it up!" Zhang Hao said with a wave of his hand.

The letter written by Tatar, which angered Jiajing, had nothing to do with these people.

The general next to him had no choice but to put down the hanging basket and hang the messenger up. After hanging up, the messenger bowed to the general and saluted.

"Hey, you're not a Tartar!" Zhang Hao said when he got to the messenger.

"Master Huihui, I'm not a Tatar, I'm Yang Zeng, the Tongzhou Superintendent! I was kidnapped by the Tatars and forced me."

"Fuck, you are a traitor, where is my hammer!" When Zhang Hao heard that he was Daming's eunuch, he was so angry that he immediately went to find the hammer!

"Major General, Major General, no, he is a messenger now, we need to send him to the emperor's side!" The general next to him immediately hugged Zhang Hao and said anxiously.

"That's right, Major General, but no!" The other captains also came to stop Zhang Hao.

"Okay, okay, take him there, no, I'm going to take him there myself, and when he finishes seeing the emperor, I'll hammer him to death!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"This line, you guys, follow the major general and take him to the emperor's side. Remember, you must watch the major general, and don't hammer the messenger to death!"

As soon as the general heard it, Zhang Rong was not here now, and only Zhang Hao could go to see the emperor, and none of them were qualified to go.

Soon, Zhang Hao was walking behind, with two hammers in his hands, staring at Yang Zeng.

The other captains were staring at Zhang Hao. Where did they come to escort Yang Zeng? They were simply to escort Zhang Hao.

"Come on, Yuxi Palace knows how to go? If you don't hurry, I'll hammer you to death!" Zhang Hao shouted angrily when he saw Yang Zeng walking slowly.

"Eh. Eh!" Yang Zeng nodded quickly and quickened his pace.

Now he could see it too, those colonels were afraid of being beaten to death.

Soon after arriving at Yuxi Palace, the guard asked Zhang Hao before letting Zhang Hao in.

Outside Yuxi Palace, Zhang Hao asked the eunuch to report.

"The messenger? The Tartar messenger? Zhang Manzi escorted it here?" Jiajing was very surprised when he heard it, and then said, "Let Zhang Manzi bring the messenger in!"

"Yes!" The eunuch went out immediately.

After a while, Zhang Hao came in with Yang Zeng in his arms.

"Yang Zeng?" Lu Fang also recognized Yang Zeng, and Jiajing also recognized it.

"The servants meet the emperor, long live the emperor!" Yang Zeng knelt down immediately after reaching the Taoist platform, crying and shouting.

"Don't come here, you are a traitor, you have become a messenger for the Tartars, the emperor, after he handed over the letter, you hand him over to me, and I will hammer him to death!" Zhang Hao stood there, holding a hammer , pointed at Yang Zeng's head and shouted at Jiajing.

"No, no, Zhang Hao, don't be in a hurry, just listen to him!" Lu Fang was anxious first, Yang Zeng was the one he recommended before, and now he has become the messenger of the Tartars.

"Well, Zhang Manzi, sit next to me!" Jiajing also said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, Your Majesty, you have to remember to hand him over to me!" Zhang Hao said and went to find a seat to sit down.

Yang Zeng took out the letter and handed it to Lu Fang. Lu Fang opened it, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he immediately handed it to Jiajing on the platform.

Jiajing opened his eyes, and the more he looked, the bluer his face became. After a while, the blue veins burst out.

"Presumptuous, bastard, a Tartar, dare to challenge in front of me!" Jiajing stood up furiously.

Lu Fang knelt down immediately, while Zhang Hao was still sitting there with a hammer in his hand, staring at Yang Zeng.

"Come here, call the six ministers and cabinet officials, and also, call the British Lord, and let them come to me quickly!" Jiajing shouted furiously.

"Yes, this servant will go!" Lu Fang got up.

"My father is not in the military camp, so I went to find Ding Shangshu!" Zhang Hao immediately reminded Lu Fang, and at the same time he stood up and stood beside Yang Zeng.

The meaning is obvious. If you dare to move, I will hammer you to death. Of course, Jiajing knows Zhang Hao's intentions, and he appreciates it very much.

"Why did your father go to Ding Rukui?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"He's a spy, you can't say it!" Zhang Hao pointed at Yang Zeng with a hammer and said.

"Your Majesty, this servant is not!" Yang Zeng shouted hurriedly.

"Come on, take it out and wait, stay away!" Jiajing shouted to the outside, and immediately a guard came over and took Yang Zeng out.

"Can we talk now?" Jiajing sat down at this moment.

"My father went to Ding Shangshu and wanted to go out to fight in the city, but I guess Ding Shangshu would not agree. He must have said that the capital was short of troops, and when King Qin's army arrived, the Tartars would naturally retreat, and there was no need to take risks! Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Jiajing and said.

Hearing this, Jiajing frowned, and then asked, "Why did you expect this?"
