Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 187
Two wolf-like Jin Yiwei stepped forward and immediately took down the governor of Datong.

Zuo Yu couldn't help panicking, but he leaned on his old man and scolded: "Zhuzi, I am a Jinshi in Jingtai for five years, how dare you treat me like this!"

Snapped!
Under Li Yue's shocked gaze, Chen Kun stepped forward and slapped hard on the face.

One of Zuo Yu's old teeth was spit out immediately with a mouthful of blood, and he looked at this junior in disbelief, never expecting that the other party was so ruthless.

You must know that various relationships in the officialdom are complicated, and they have always talked about their seniority.Although he doesn't know which subject this junior is a Jinshi, but he and his mentor must be old acquaintances.

"I am the Governor-General of Xuanda personally appointed by His Majesty. His rank is higher than yours, and he has the right to act cheaply! You old man has an affair with Mongolia. It is a great shame for us to be in the same court with you. Now the evidence is convincing. You still have Why face shouting in front of this official?" Chen Shen rubbed his aching palm, then reprimanded him.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a brazen person.

As an official of the Ming Dynasty, what he eats is the salary of the Ming Dynasty, and what he enjoys is the favor of the Ming court.

If this person doesn't know how to repay his kindness, let's just let it go. He clearly has an affair with the enemy country, and now he dares to sell his old age in front of him.

Li Yue also realized that Zuo Yu in front of him really couldn't see the situation clearly, so he made up his sword and said: "Governor Zuo, according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, you should think more about whether you committed the crime of ransacking your home this time... Now It's too late to think about anything, you wait to beheaded!"

Fornicating foreign enemies is a serious crime in any era.

This dignified governor knew that he broke the law, and I'm afraid he would offend him even more.

Now he still can't see the situation clearly. It can only be said that he has always been too indifferent to the law, or he thought that his backer was still alive in the world.

"No, no, I didn't participate in the trade of [-] horses and mules with Mongolia. You can't trust the one-sided words of those two businessmen!" Zuo Yu suddenly panicked, and he didn't care about the pain in his mouth to defend.

When Chen Kun heard this sophistry, he knew that he had not wronged this person, but he was too lazy to talk to such a greedy official.

It's just that the governor of Datong in front of him, after all, bears the title of the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has to act according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but he still has to be escorted to the capital for trial.

As for the fate of the Datong governor?
It’s hard to say if the emperor was someone else, but now that the wise and powerful Hongzhi is in power, how can this unforgivable Datong governor escape the punishment of the law?

In the city of Datong, today is the blue sky and white clouds after the rain.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

"You know what you have done, so go with me!"

"You know the governor? Hehe, the Lord is here to invite you to stay in the cell with the governor!"

……

Since Qiao Liang and Fan Bancheng have all confessed, the other six families are naturally guilty, Chen Kun immediately dispatched personnel to arrest the other six families in the city, and the soldiers from the governor's office came to the door one after another to arrest humanity.

"Where are you going?"

Although the businessman surnamed Kong, the businessman surnamed Kang and the Jin family had received the news in advance, they were arrested before they walked out of the house, and their faces were pale in shock.

"Do you think you can escape?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to catch you by running back to Shanxi? Childish!"

"You know Tartar so well, why don't you try to run north?"

……

The merchants surnamed Qu, the merchants surnamed Chang and the merchants surnamed Hou got the news in advance and left the city, but the matter was personally ordered by the new governor, and all three of them were quickly arrested.

So far, the eight main Shanxi businessmen involved in the incident have all been arrested, and what awaits them will be the sanctions of the Ming Dynasty.

The incident this time can be said to be simple and clear. Since liaison with Mongolia is a serious crime, not only were they and their family members arrested, but all property under their names was also seized.

However, how to deal with the eight Shanxi businessmen mainly involved in the incident has to be decided by the capital, especially the owner of the Forbidden City has to make the final decision on the case.

Just as Datong was gradually returning to calm, Mengting in the north caused an uproar.

The matter had to start a few days ago. Although Zhiyuan Tongha didn't return the same way, he still sent the news of the Ming court's rejection of the tribute back to Khan's tent.

The Ming court's rejection of the tribute was like a slap in the face to all of them.

They thought that after all, it was the pigs who thought that if they wanted both noodles and pears, maybe the Hongzhi court, who was in charge of the civil servants, would recognize it, but now the real master of Daming is Zhu Youtang.

Facing their self-proclaimed Great Yuan Emperor, they couldn't get the approval of the real emperor at all, and they even issued a statement two days before the agreed date.

Although their dreams are beautiful, the reality is very skinny. Today's Emperor of Ming Dynasty is not a weak emperor at all, but an iron-handed emperor who has made civil servants obedient.

"How dare their Emperor Ming do this?"

"Our self-proclaimed Great Yuan Emperor really touched the bottom line of Ming Dynasty!"

"It's useless to say these things now, should we change our name?"

……

When the news first came back, some tribal leaders realized that their Dayan Khan's claim to be the Emperor of the Great Yuan touched the bottom line of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so some peacemakers also appeared.

It's just that the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, and when they were still vacillating between war and peace, there was news that Zhiyuan Tongha was beheaded by Daming.

A mission of 500 people went to Daming, many of whom were relatives of tribal leaders. As a result, heavy casualties were suffered in this battle, and some tribal leaders were immediately furious.

In addition, each of their tribes sent a large number of high-quality horse mules in exchange for Daming supplies, and now basically all of them fell into the hands of the Ming army.

"They dared to attack our mission, and they will definitely pay with the blood of the Ming people!"

"Call all the horses now, and let's go south to bloody Datong City together!"

"Why Tongha has been staying in Datong all this time, this matter seems a little unreasonable!"

……

Faced with the news that Zhiyuan Tongha was killed, although many tribal leaders were very angry, some neutral factions raised doubts.

Not to mention that the court clearly rejected the tribute two days in advance, and Zhiyuan Tongha, knowing that the Ming court refused the tribute, since he still chose to stay in Datong, this behavior is really incomprehensible.

If tens of thousands of horses and mules were driven back immediately, it would be impossible for Da Ming to pursue them, but you stayed there. You really can't blame the people of Da Ming for not being polite.

Who knows what you want to do when you stay here?Now that you have set up camp here with tens of thousands of horses and mules, if you don't hit you, who will you hit?

"What does Tongha's stay in Datong have to do with their Daming? It's obvious that Daming people don't obey the rules!"

"Since they Daming people are so unruly, we have to kill Shanxi this time!"

"Let's not talk about going to Shanxi, we're not going to have a hard time in Datong now, the Datong Army is not a soft persimmon!"

……

Summoned by Dayan Khan, the leaders of various tribes gathered in Khan's tent one after another, but the differences between the main combat faction and the main peace faction became bigger, and there were even scenes of endless disputes.

After all, Dayan Khan is a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and he still lacks political wisdom. Faced with the situation that is about to get out of control, he seems helpless for a while.

Just suddenly, all the tribal leaders became quiet and looked towards the gate of the Khan Tent.

Manduhai, who was wearing traditional Mongolian women's clothing, appeared with a gloomy face, but he didn't look at anyone, and sat silently on the chair woven by the wolf king's skin.

Unlike the tiger skin of Dayan Khan's chair, which was donated by his subordinates, the wolf king skin she is sitting on now is obtained by shooting and killing the wolf king with her own hands, exuding the majesty of the Iron Lady that has not been seen for a long time.

This……

Huo Sha and Tuo Huo Chi were the bravest generals, and after feeling Man Duhai's anger, they silently lowered their heads.

Man Duhai's eyes slowly scanned all the leaders present, and immediately issued an order: "All ministries must immediately gather people, let's go to Datong together!"

Following an order, Falcon and Kuaima left the headquarters one after another, and then strong men from various tribes gathered towards Tumochuan.

On June [-]th, Mongolia gathered a full [-] cavalry and went straight to Datong. The troops dispatched this time were twice as large as the troops that Dayan Khan deterred Ming Dynasty last time.

Uh...

Facing the invasion of the Mongolian army, the horns of the border town sounded immediately.

Although they already had the psychological expectation of facing the Mongolian army when they refused the tribute, the Ming Dynasty was still shocked to see Mongolia dispatching an army of [-].

"Your Majesty Shengming, this Mongolia has not yet been unified!"

"Yes, if we wait for them to unify Mongolia, we in Datong may not be able to protect Shanxi!"

"Now let's go head-to-head with the Tartars. This is the strategy for eternal life. We will fight them for the sake of our descendants!"

……

Facing the menacing Mongolian army, although they also had a little bit of regret, but they had no arrows to turn back, and they knew that this was a road they had to take, so they expressed their attitudes with high spirits.

If they now hand over the problem to future generations for the sake of temporary peace, waiting for them may not mean subjugation, but they will be slaughtered sooner or later as they live on the border for generations.

"For the sake of the peace of future generations, we Datong and the Tartars will not die!" The soldiers of Datong faced the invading Mongolian army and shouted slogans one after another.

The most important thing in war is military resources, and now Datong actually has the confidence to fight.

Since the imperial court eliminated the maggots in the salt administration, Kaizhong France has regained its vitality, and the merchants who paid for the salt in the grain flocked to it, resulting in sufficient grain and armaments in the border warehouses.

With such a guarantee, they will naturally not be too afraid of the invading Mongolian cavalry, and they are even confident that they will take this opportunity to severely damage the Mongolian army.

On June 21, the battle suddenly broke out.

Man Duhai led a large army to station outside the pass, and sent Tuohuochi to lead thousands of cavalry to attack from the front.

Chen Jian, the deputy general of Datong, led his troops to resist. Arrows rained down on the city wall, and wood and rocks kept rolling, causing casualties and injuries to the enemy cavalry, making it impossible for the enemy cavalry to approach.

Taking advantage of the Ming army's unpreparedness, Huozhai sent Huozhai to lead thousands of cavalry to enter from a broken wall in the west.

"withdraw!"

Chen Jian learned that the opponent wanted to go around behind him, but he was forced to give up his strict defense on the Great Wall, and Dang even led his subordinates back to the town's border fort.

"Enter Datong!"

Man Duhai led the army into the territory of Datong Mansion, but he was not dominated by impulse, but restrained the army to come to the city of Datong Mansion and stationed troops in front of Wuding Gate.

"As long as you hand over Princess Yikexi and the equivalent of [-] horses and mules, we Dayuan will retreat!" Man Duhai saw Chen Kun in a unicorn suit and Zhao Hu in a bullfighting suit appear, and even Make your own request.

After realizing that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was not a coward, she also gave up the idea of ​​confronting him head-on.

It's not that she thinks that her side is inferior to the Ming army, but that her side has lost too much, let alone complete the great cause of unifying Mongolia, even if she wants to protect herself, it will become a problem.

It's just that her precious daughter Yi Kexi has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, but she has no choice but to beg for her own daughter. This is the most important reason for her mobilization.

"What's going on? Princess Yixi?"

"When did her daughter fall into our hands?"

"Could it be that we accidentally killed it last time?"

……

Since there was no information collected in this regard, and there was no hostage Princess Yixi in hand, a group of generals present couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Chen Kun's heart suddenly moved, and he thought carefully and said: "Mandu Haihatun, you wait outside the customs, I have to report this matter to His Majesty!"

"Do you really want me to wash your Datong with blood?" Man Duhai's expression changed, and he said threateningly.

Chen Kun still had a harmless smile on his face, but he said seriously: "Mandu Haihadun, it's a small matter for me to return your daughter, but I want equivalent property. Do you think I can do this? Now Even if you agree, you will return with a full load of property, but the head of this official will not be guaranteed!"

"Return Ikexi immediately, and I will lead my troops to retreat outside the pass to wait!" Man Duhai knew that the other party really couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately put forward conditions.

Chen Kun shook his head slightly and said: "Princess Yikexi is the bargaining chip in my hands now, how can I hand it over now! You can either withdraw from the customs and wait for news, or fight now, our Ming Dynasty never fears a war! "

Facing such a tough governor of the Ming army, the leaders of the various tribes couldn't help but face difficulties.

In front of them was a 13-meter-high city wall, and Datong's total army strength reached [-], and what they had to face was the Ming Dynasty, which had millions of troops.

If they really want to start a full-scale war, their situation will definitely become worse and worse.

"I'll give you three days. If I don't send Yi Kexi back intact, I will wash the whole Datong with blood!" Man Duhai finally compromised and chose to quit the Guanwaidao.

When Chen Kun saw Manduhai retreating, he immediately issued an order: "Search for a Mongolian woman in the territory of Datong Mansion immediately, even if she digs three feet, I will find her for the governor!"
