Chapter 551 Stop Soldiers and Make Peace (Third Change)
The morale of the Ming soldiers in the Zhangjiakou pass plummeted.

The morale of the Mongolians outside is not high either.

In short, both sides fought this battle inexplicably.

They hadn't fought for a long time, and they were doing business to collect money, and then they were turned upside down by a group of people.

Now neither side wants to fight, and both are afraid that the other side will continue to fight.

Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng hurried to the front to stabilize the morale of the army, saying that the general soldier You Shilu had been conscripted away, and His Majesty had another appointment.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army did not become good at fighting because of this incident.

Misfortunes never come singly, and the appeal letters sent successively were also rejected by the court, because a war broke out in Liaodong, and it was necessary to step up guarding Jizhen and the rebellious rebels in various parts of the Central Plains.

In addition, the merchants in Zhangjiakou were all clamoring, why did they give the rice bran to the Mongols first when they produced so much grain?

Zhang Zongheng looked at the refutation notes sent by the court, and there was nothing beneficial to him at all.

Even if the Datong defenders are transferred here, what can they do?

That hammer bandit He Jinzhao might just wait for Datong's troops to be empty and take Datong. Once the Yanmen pass is lost, the Xuanfu will still guard it!
He found out that the hammer bandit leader He Jinzhao was using a trick.

I have to find a way to make peace with Lin Danhan.

The interests of the Ming rebels and the Mongols are not the same, and only Daming can bring him more benefits.

Zhang Zongheng hurriedly called the censor Wu Ra, told him about the situation before him, and asked him to be an envoy again.

Wu Lu had already prepared for His Majesty's method of changing generals, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and form an alliance with Lin Danhan again. Otherwise, if there was another charge, the Zhangjiakou Pass might not be able to defend.

Lin Danhan thought that he was drinking, watching singing and dancing, and suddenly fought a battle with the Ming defenders, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

It's all because of He Jinzhao!
At this moment, Na Muzhong came over, facing her husband who was much older than herself, she said, "Are you angry?"

"No."

"Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty can't beat you, and they will come to sue for peace soon."

Hearing what Na Muzhong said, Lin Danhan's eyes lit up, and he stood up: "Are you serious?"

"Khan, when did I ever lie to you?"

Lin Danhan couldn't help laughing a few times: "Da Ming must be afraid of me."

"If the Ming army sends envoys to negotiate a peace, the Khan can just act angry, and I will deal with the rest."

"well."

Before long, the envoy of Daming came out of Zhangjiakou Pass, saying that he wanted to meet Lin Danhan.

Lin Danhan was overjoyed, and under Na Muzhong's reminder, he quickly began to change his face.

Na Muzhong also took a deep breath. Sure enough, as He Jinzhao analyzed, the first person who couldn't bear it was Governor Xuanda.

The key point is that he is under the enemy's back and belly, and dare not gamble.

Wu Sheng came over to exchange some pleasantries, and seeing Lin Danhan's expression turned pale, he knew he didn't understand, so he said to Na Muzhong:

"The Great Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Khan traded peacefully in Zhangjiakou, but there was a misunderstanding because of the intruders.

I heard that the intruder has already left, so let's stop making peace and continue to do business. There is still more than a month left. The princess doesn't want to continue the war, does she? "

Na Muzhong felt that Wu Sheng's method of opening his eyes and telling lies was very good, regardless of whether the intruder left or not, what everyone wanted was a reason.

"But I know that the merchants in the city sell me grain at a high price, but sell it to the Houjin Jurchens at a low price. Do you know about this?"

Hearing this, Yu Shi Wu Raw was startled.

"Is this true?"

"Why did I lie to you?" Na Muzhong said with a cold face: "Otherwise we can easily be encouraged by others?"

"I will definitely investigate this matter."

Wu Sheng said categorically that the Jurchen Tartars ravaged the capital, and some people dared to sell them grain on a large scale. This was an act of treason.

"But this kind of thing needs to pay attention to evidence, and I can explain it to you in front of the emperor."

"I will go to Ji Town, where there are Jurchens pretending to be Mongols to trade with the Ming army." Na Muzhong pointed to Wu Sheng and said, "I hope you are a good official working for Ming Dynasty, and I will provide you with evidence.

At the same time, you have to pay me [-] shi of grain, and we will help you fight in Liaodong. What do you think? "

He didn't know about the war in Liaodong.

But on the grassland, it might spread.

"Well, I will help you lower the price of the grain sold by Shanxi merchants. The grain will also be delivered." Wu Ra took a look at Lin Danhan and asked Na Muzhong: "Do you have the final say?"

"He listened to me."

"That's good."

The censor Wu Sheng found a heavy clue, but unfortunately there was no Jin Yiwei around him.

Because the emperor became more suspicious, he distanced himself from the courtiers more and more, and began to increase the power of the Chang Gong and Jin Yiwei, or in other words, the power of the eunuchs.

Jin Yiwei has long been reduced to the dog of Dongchang.

He completely disregarded the prohibition of private castration at the beginning of his succession, and began to recruit more eunuchs.

Now these eunuchs have to spend 3 shi for food in one month, and 5 shi a month for boot materials alone.

If these money and food equipment were given to the Xuanda Frontier Army, Lin Danhan, who would definitely be able to fight, would be helpless.

Except that the ministers could not collect taxes to use the emperor's internal money, he actually raised a bunch of eunuchs, suppressing the power of the eunuchs, which was a contest between the power of the ministers and the power of the emperor.

But now Wu Lu felt that this kind of matter had to be inquired by Jin Yiwei, and he needed to write a secret letter to the emperor.

"Master Wu, you are a good official, I hope you don't let me down, otherwise the war will continue."

After Na Muzhong finished speaking, he led the troops back, and did not mention the rice bran given by the government, but it could be eaten by the Mongolian cavalry.

The most important thing now is to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to Duoyanwei, and seize the opportunity to seize the population of cattle and sheep, so as to strengthen itself.

The Mongols retreated Ulala listening to the sound of the horn.

Seeing this, the Ming army at Zhangjiakou Pass couldn't help cheering.

Wu Sheng was supported and cheered by many soldiers, and the guerrilla general Zhen Xiang took the initiative to lead his horse and welcome him into the pass.

Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, did not expect that Wu Ra would directly say that he would retreat the Mongols with only a three-inch tongue. He was also quite curious, how did he say it?
"The Mongols really retreated?"

"Retired." Censor Wu Sheng stroked his beard and said, "And also put forward conditions."

"You said."

"The merchants in Zhangjiakou sold him high-priced grain, so they had to lower the price, or they would have to come back."

"This official will arrange it on his own."

Zhang Zongheng, Governor of Xuanda, felt that it was not a problem. It was nothing more than to let these businessmen make less money. Even if there was someone behind them, they had to listen to him, the governor.

"My lord, is there a war in Liaodong?"

"That's right, Huang Taiji has sent troops to attack the Daling River."

Wu Sheng then stretched out his finger and said, "Lin Danhan asked to provide him with another [-] shi of grain, and he will help Daming assist in the Liaodong war and sneak attack the rear."

Hearing this, Governor Xuan Da was a little displeased. The war in Liaodong has nothing to do with my Xuanfu?
"My lord, even if this is Lin Danhan's excuse, it is also the bottom line for him to agree to a settlement. It is nothing more than food. We gave rice bran to pretend to be food. He is very angry. The most important thing is to stop the war."

Wu Sheng didn't know if Zhang Zongheng was involved, so he didn't tell him everything.

Zhang Zongheng nodded, and got a large amount of grain from Shanxi merchants, and it would not be a problem to give another [-] shi.

"it is good."

 Thanks for the sponsorship of 1000 taels of silver from the Heavenly Sword.
