I'm really not doing business

Chapter 168 The grand rules of the country, the painting above the security

Chapter 168 The grand rules of the country, the painting above the security

The Ming Dynasty sent Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, to Daningwei, nominally as a reward, but actually to inspect military merits. This is the job of the censors. They have nothing to do when they have nothing to do, so the imperial court sent them to inspect themselves.

"Who will take the censors to check the first-level merits?" Tan Lun looked at Liang Menglong, Liu Yingjie, Ma Fang, Ma Gui, Yang Wen, Chen Dacheng and others, and asked with some doubts. He has all the brains and brains on his side. He is going to Taotu Mountain to check the bentonite reserves. Everyone is there, so who is receiving the censor?
"Li Rusong." Ma Fang kept her face as serious as possible.

When the Beijing camp was selecting generals, Li Rusong said that the military generals in the capital were controlled by civilian officials like slaves. He was not willing to treat them. He wanted to go back to Liaodong. After being taught a lesson by Qi Jiguang, he was severely beaten by Tan Lun. Li Rusong's arrogance was restrained a little.

Li Rusong is that eagle, as if he was boiling an eagle. The more he disliked civil servants, the more Qi Jiguang sent him to contact them. The gang behind them.

Qi Jiguang had high hopes for Li Rusong, so he spared no effort in cultivating him. Only through contact can he understand and deal with their mouths skillfully, and he also knows how terrible their mouths are.

"Okay." Tan Lun smiled when he heard this. Tan Lun is also one of the eagle boilers. This can be regarded as a successor for Li Rusong, a rebellious eagle.

Qi Jiguang took Tan Lun to Taotu Mountain. This is a mountain. The Ming Dynasty used a lot of bleaching earth, but for a mountain, it was negligible.

This is also the key to the Seven Camp Fort outside Daningwei.

"There are three camps from the north of Taotu Mountain, namely Xinglong Fort, Qingshan Fort and Xingshu Fort. These three camps are all west of the Laoha River. The time of the Beilu's attack is very certain. They are all in autumn. In autumn, the Laoha River has a rapid flow and it is not easy to cross the river. The three camps and fortresses can resist the enemy and ignite the beacon fire when they hear the news, and the Daning Guard can attack and stop the enemy." Standing on the top of Taotu Mountain, Qi Jiguang introduced Daning Guard's arming.

Xinglong Fort is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, it only needs a wall of less than five miles to defend. From Xinglong Fort to the north is Xingshu Fort. Because there is an apricot forest growing here, it is named , and the northern captives coming from the east would bump into Xingshu Fort head-on.

Qinglong Fort is the front line on the north side of Yuanbao Mountain. It is also a mountain pass. The two battalion forts occupy the traffic arteries. Any enemy who wants to invade the Great Ningwei must break through Xingshu Fort and Qinglong Fort.

After leaving Xingshu Fort and Qinglong Fort, the terrain began to become flat, belonging to the Quanningwei area, which is also the area directly controlled by the Hulu.

To break through a camp, for Daming who had artillery, it would take ten rounds with one force, and it was even more difficult for Beilu.

These two battalion fortresses are a kind of irregular blockhouses, the first weapon for defending the city created by Qi Jiguang in Ji Town, hollow enemy towers.

The enemy tower needs to protrude outward about one foot and forty-five feet outside the side wall, and inwardly protrude about five feet inside the side wall. The hollow enemy tower has three floors in the virtual center. The middle layer is equipped with artillery, observation windows, arrow windows, etc. The design is based on the experience and summary of long-term fighting with the North Korean captives.

This kind of irregular bunker would require huge casualties if one wanted to capture it.

"For those who are good at attacking, the enemy does not know what they are defending; for those who are good at defending, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. Offense and defense are the spear and shield of war. Only by being able to handle this contradiction flexibly can we defeat the enemy and defeat the enemy. They can be called good fighters. Handsome is a good fighter." Tan Lun said sincerely after listening to Qi Jiguang's arrangement.

According to Qi Jiguang's arrangement, it cannot be said that the Great Ningwei is impenetrable, but it can only be said that it is indestructible.

Tan Lun is not a sleazy literati, he is a Jinshi who has worked hard against Japanese pirates for more than ten years with a knife in his hand. From the perspective of Beilu, attacking Qi Jiguang's defense area, it is better to go directly to find me Dahan Desperately happy.

Liang Menglong took Qi Jiguang's words and continued: "At present, Daningwei has more than [-] hectares of fields, more than [-] hectares of forest farms, and [-] hectares of pastures. Just looking at the acres of fields, it can support [-] troops. The output of the forest farm will increase by at most [-] troops, and it will be about [-] in terms of land reclamation."

One household counts as five people, which is about 15 people.

The reason why Liang Meng wanted to say this was to tell the imperial court that guarding here was not as expensive and costly as he thought. During the Hongwu period, the Great Ning Guard was established at the beginning of the year, and it directly filled [-] troops. These [-] troops were [-] households. Ma Zhu, the fields in this place can't be raised at all, there is only so little land, so if it is reduced to [-], it will be just right.

Thirty thousand troops are more than enough.

As long as there are [-] troops nailed here, it will be impossible for the northern captives to invade the border again. This place has extremely important strategic significance.

Liang Menglong continued: "If Daningwei is lost, Kaiping and Xinghe will be lost. Only the eight cities will be left alone. The earth will change, and the eight cities will also be lost. If Daningwei is here, it is impossible for the northern captives to go south. Without Ningwei, the northern captives could break through any point along the long Great Wall. The Ming stockpiled heavy troops, but lost sight of one and lost the other. With the Great Ningwei, the northern captives were not allowed to enter the capital. .”

After Liang Menglong finished speaking, he looked at Tan Lun. Tan Lun had always advocated the restoration of Hetao and Daningwei. Now Daningwei has been captured by the Ming army.

"How's the public opinion in court?" Qi Jiguang asked solemnly.

"It's still the same, it's the same, it's not true, it's not them who fight the war, it's not them who defend the border, it's not them who are held accountable, they can naturally chatter, see the twelve censors? According to His Majesty, the one sent by His Majesty is the slippery beast on the road outside the Great Wall." Tan Lun said with a smile on his face when he talked about the power of the wind.

"You can't do that." Qi Jiguang also laughed when he heard that, the most important thing when dealing with civil officials is that they must not be fooled by civil officials.

Take these twelve censors as an example, they came to disgusting people, they must not be in any danger, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty Jingying and the Liaodong army will immediately fall into a trap of self-respect and fear of the town Among them, and then it is difficult to extricate themselves from this trap.

Qi Jiguang won't do anything to them, the food and drink will not be enough, they will watch whatever they like.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Tan Lun, the Great Sima of the Ming Dynasty, came to Daningwei in person. Of course, Tan Lun himself was depressed in the capital and wanted to come out to breathe, and he also took the censor with him to watch the censor to prevent them from making false accusations. It is a crime to injure someone with a sharp weapon.

There is also a deeper meaning, whether this Beijing camp that can conquer wars is the Beijing camp of Daming or Qi Jiguang's Beijing camp is very, very important, as it is for the imperial court, it is also true for Qi Jiguang.

Your Majesty does not doubt Qi Jiguang at all, but the courtiers in the court are somewhat afraid.

Qi Jiguang is too good at fighting.

Tan Lun looked at Qi Jiguang and the others, pondered for a long time very seriously, and after deliberation, said: "Your Majesty's treatment of Ke Dao officials is becoming more and more severe."

"At the beginning, when Jia San approached them, His Majesty explained patiently. Later, Jia San was dismissed from court, and His Majesty directly dismissed him, preventing him from signing official documents; later, when Lu Guangzu seized his love, His Majesty directly charged him with false accusations. , hit the official court stick; and now that Fu Yingzhen, Liu Tai, Yu Maoxue, etc. have been convicted and imprisoned, His Majesty directly opened a public trial in the Huangji Palace, and Liu Tai and Yu Maoxue were sentenced to death, but Fu Yingzhen escaped and went home .”

"Facing the sophistry of the courtiers, Your Majesty has found a way to deal with it. The first one is the one who does it. The fact of doing it is not based on the truth. It is also hypocritical to talk about it. For example, a man is a man. A woman is a woman. Recently, some singers who sing songs are feminine and ghostly. Their appearance and clothing are similar to those of women. Their makeup is better than that of prostitutes.

"Could a man still be a woman? What these officials say all day long is all hypocrisy, and behind it is nothing but profit."

"The second method His Majesty found is a sharp blade. Sometimes, a sharp blade can make things easier."

"The Beijing camp led by Qi Shuai is the sharp knife in His Majesty's hands."

Tan Lun has dealt too much with the generals, and even his own political spectrum is more like a general than a civil servant, so he knows to speak clearly, instead of being paradoxical, paradoxical, once the army If I misunderstood, then Tan Lun was to blame for his death.

"Your Majesty refers to the place where the Beijing camp broke through." Qi Jiguang said very calmly, as if explaining a natural fact.

Qi Jiguang's vermilion imperial party, the political spectrum of Zhang party and Zhejiang party in him is fading.

Ma Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He blocked Qi Jiguang's idea of ​​continuing to go north. In fact, he was more worried. Once the court was in the middle of the wind, public opinion really formed a decision, and finally led to this battle. How to face the Beijing camp soldiers?

Now he wasn't worried anymore, the little emperor had hit the court hard, and even chopped off two officials, which was a very good signal.

Ma Fang has a set of strange and reasonable standards. He observes whether the power and public opinion are falling in the middle of the court, and he depends on whether the civil servants, especially these powerful people, will be unlucky with their tongues. The Beijing camp will inevitably continue to attack.

As for the negotiation of peace and tribute, Ma Fang had fought for a long time, and he didn't think it would be possible at all.

As for war, either side can only decide the beginning of the war, but not the end of the war. To put it simply, Da Ming and the local barbarians haven't fought enough, so just keep fighting.

Qi Jiguang chatted with Tan Lun for a long time before returning to Daningwei City. After Ma Fang and others left, Qi Jiguang took out a letter from his arms. Qi Jiguang didn't show this letter to anyone. It was His Majesty secret decree.

It was said to be a secret decree, and there was Zhang Juzheng's signature on it, obviously Yuanfu knew about it.

"Hey!" Tan Lun read the letter, looked at Qi Jiguang's brows tightly, looked him up and down for a long time, and then asked suspiciously: "Qi Shuai's real name is Zhu?"

"Why is Da Sima talking so nonsense!" Qi Jiguang was not happy when he heard it, and immediately retorted.

"You are in the Great Ningwei, and you are more powerful than King Ning back then, and you still said that your surname is not Zhu." Tan Lun pointed to the four words of doing things cheaply, nodded vigorously and said: "At the beginning, King Ning was a vassal. The giant town of Daning, fortified by ninety cities, has [-] armour, and [-] leather chariots, how majestic is it? If there is any movement, you have to send a letter back to Beijing to ask Emperor Taizu."

"Huh?" Qi Jiguang looked at Tan Lun with a frown and asked, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning was in the Great Ningwei back then, so couldn't he act conveniently?"

Tan Lun patted the table and said with a smile: "Back then, the [-] soldiers of Daning Guard belonged to the capital of Daning, and they were not under the management of King Ning's mansion. King Ning could mobilize only [-] troops from Tielin Army. Now Qi Shuai There are [-] elite soldiers under him, and the capital is just five hundred miles away, and they made peace with Tuman Khan, led the crowd to win, and went straight to the capital!"

"Nonsense." Qi Jiguang laughed, and Tan Lun also laughed.

Tan Lun's words were actually repeating some incomprehensible remarks by officials, which are typical words that can only be uttered by those who have not joined the army. The Ming Dynasty did not have feudal towns, the Jin party and clan party in the northwest, Li Chengliang in the northeast, Guizhou government in the southwest, and Yin Zhengmao in the southeast.

If Qi Jiguang really rebelled from the Daningwei vertical flag, he would have his head cut off by Ma Fang, Ma Gui and others before he led the troops to the south to ask for credit.

Here, it must be mentioned at the beginning.

Qi Jiguang sent a list for the selection of generals. On this list, the deputy commander-in-chief was Ma Fang, and the generals Ma Gui, Ma Jin, Li Rusong, and Yang Wen were all there. At that time, Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang if he wanted to operate in a black box and replace Ma Fang. , Ma Gui, Ma Jin and others, Qi Jiguang's answer is no.

Since that time, His Majesty the Emperor has shown a high degree of trust in Qi Jiguang. It was also from the selection of generals that the Beijing camp was decided. When facing the northern captives, we can unite as one, but what if we turn our guns and aim at the emperor?
This is not a technique of checks and balances, and Zhu Yijun has never believed in that. When selecting generals, he was afraid that the Jin Party would restrict his hands and the emperor would operate in a black box. Qi Jiguang refused to agree. , It is a typical employer who is not suspicious and someone who is not.

There are more than [-] people in the entire Beijing camp. People eat horses and chew, and they all need food and grass. The food and grass hoarded by the Daningwei can only be needed for more than ten days, and they are continuously delivered from the rear. The Beijing camp is the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty, not Qi Jiguang alone. The Beijing camp, once an army has its own finances, will have its own political demands just like the powerful, which is very dangerous. From a logistical point of view, the Beijing camp is not born with the conditions for rebellion.

When the emperor asked about the strategy, Qi Jiguang resolutely opposed the dismantling of the military guards, because he knew clearly that it was impossible to complete the important task of the Ming Dynasty's revival only by recruiting and guest soldiers.

The sources of recruits and guest soldiers are divided into two types, one is land-lost tenants and ruffians, and the other is soldiers from the military guards, and the Beijing camp belongs to the latter. Finding high-quality soldiers is as difficult as climbing the sky. Closing the military guards means that the Ming Dynasty lost a good family, and it means that the Ming Dynasty will die tomorrow.

Those who have permanent property have perseverance. The soldiers who came from the military guards of the Ming Dynasty should be called Liangjiazi in the past.

From the basic composition of the army, in terms of soldiers, it does not meet the conditions for rebellion.

The Northwest Jin Party has shown the nature of a feudal town, that is, the interests of the feudal town are higher than that of the country and the Ming Dynasty. When the interests of the feudal town conflict with the collective interests of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal town will definitely choose to resist by all means.

The emergence of the Jin Party is a concrete manifestation of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty; and the continuous rise of the Jin Party is a concrete manifestation of the continued weakness of the Ming Dynasty.Ritual and music conquests, celebrations, rewards, prestige and punishments come from the princes, which is a concrete manifestation of the imperial court's inability to control, lose cohesion and prestige.

And Jingying, on the political spectrum, does not have the attributes of a feudal town.

Daming raised [-] guest soldiers in Lu Song, Lin Afeng also had [-] pirates, Yin Zhengmao and others were highly independent in their financial use, and still had a submissive heart to the imperial court. Yin Zhengmao has never dared to become a king on his own in a complete feudal town; Li Chengliang has raised [-] guest soldiers. Today, when the imperial court and Beijing camp are becoming more and more powerful, Li Chengliang has all the conditions for a feudal town, but he still hesitates and chooses to trust His Majesty the Emperor.

Even the Northwest Tribal Party, which has already formed a feudal town, Wang Chonggu has become a powerful chief thieves, trying to get rid of his attributes as a feudal town.

"Your Majesty is slowly growing up. After class next year, you should merge the afternoon martial arts practice time into Reading Watch, and become a daily review of military horses instead of Reading Watch. In this way, the doubts of some courtiers can also be dispelled. Already." Qi Jiguang put forward his opinion to Tan Lun.

Your Majesty is young, so it is reading, not manipulating.

"Qi Shuai has suffered for so many years, will he continue to suffer?" Tan Lun said something inexplicable.

"Didn't Da Sima have suffered for so many years and didn't have a long memory? I believe in your majesty, just like your majesty believes in me." Qi Jiguang clicked on the four words "doing cheap things" in the secret edict, and smiled very brightly.

After joining the army for so many years, Qi Jiguang had the most relaxed three years since he took over the Beijing camp in the first year of Wanli. As a general, he only needs to study how to defeat the enemy. Isn't that a beautiful thing?
It is not difficult to understand what Tan Lun said about the loss. Hu Zongxian died, but the Northwest Jin Party relied on the contribution of the tribute, and became a colossus. Nothing will happen, Xu Jie has to curry favor with Hu Zongxian.

The court situation at that time was so messy, it was completely different from the court structure at this time.

Being a gentleman is a very tiring thing.

"I have already sent a messenger, and Tuman Khan should be willing to let someone come and talk." Qi Jiguang said with a bit of fierce eyes: "However, Daming may not be able to agree to the conditions proposed by Tuman Khan."

Tan Lun shook his head and said, "It was just a gesture to make Dahan know something. It's not like his family is selling wool."

"It's okay, until the barbarians are sweating." Qi Jiguang is very confident in this matter, destroying the enemy's will to resist and making the enemy completely surrender to his own will is what Qi Jiguang is best at.

At this time, the Daningwei is still the front line of the grass and trees. The scouts fought fiercely on the vast snow field, competing for key passes, ferries and bridges. Finally, after a heavy snowfall, everyone calmed down. , The snow is so heavy that even the mice in the prairie are no longer infested.

And Tuman Khan sent his conditions in early December.

First, never be crowned king. To be crowned king is to surrender. Altan Khan is a traitor from the grassland who defected to the Central Plains.

"Does I Da Khan have such a bad reputation in the grassland?" Qi Jiguang stared at the first condition, and was stunned for a long time. In the first condition, all of them scolded I Da Khan for surrendering. From Daming's perspective, I Da Khan Khan has fought with Daming for so many years, and finally achieved his strategic goal, conferred king and tribute.

But on the prairie, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be San Niangzi who came out to be in power and pushed all the contacts with Daming on San Niangzi's head." Tan Lun shook his head and said: "I Da Khan was conferred by the court and was regarded as Al Da Khan , a betrayal of the Golden Family."

In Alta Khan's narration, Alta Fenggong's crimes from the beginning were all the woman San Niangzi.

There is a key figure in the tribute of Alta Khan, the grandson of Alta Khan, Bahan Naji.

Alda Khan attacked the Wara tribe and forcibly married the third lady. Wanhu of the Ordos tribe said that the third lady had a marriage contract with him and asked Altan Khan to return the third lady. Compensation to Ordos Wanhu.

Of course Hanaji was not happy, so he took his wife and defected to Daming. For this grandson, An Dahan had no choice but to agree to the court's conditions for being king.

It's all San Niangzi, a woman who brings disaster to the country and the people!
In fact, everyone knows that they are all tired and unable to beat, and no one can do anything to each other. They just find an opportunity to make peace and give each other a step.

The whole world is similar, the Central Plains likes to blame Baosi, Daji, and Concubine Yang, and the grasslands are the same, it's all the fault of the three ladies.

Qi Jiguang looked at the second condition. Daming unconditionally withdrew from Daningwei, and returned this piece of grassland to the grassland, the grassland to the grassland, and the Central Plains to the Central Plains.

"Come and get it if you can. I'm here. Don't be convinced? What's the use of screaming if you can't beat it? It's snowing this year, so come back next year." Qi Jiguang sneered. A win is a win.

This Great Ningwei was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty. During the Jingtai period, the Ming Dynasty was still stationed here, and none of the three guards of Wuliangha could enter the [-]-mile range of the Great Ningwei.

The third is to negotiate with each other, refuse to accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and trade with the Ming Dynasty, and also formulate some regulations in detail, which look good.

Tributary trade is a law established by the ancestors. Even now, even the trade of the Frangji people in Western Taixi is taking advantage of the name of the Luzon tributary country to carry out trade points. In the name of Luzon, it has business contacts with Daming.

It is impossible to agree to the third article.

"What's the meaning of this condition?" Qi Jiguang pointed to the fourth paragraph and asked with some puzzlement.

Tan Lun glanced at it, blinked and said, "That's what you saw, the old coin, every year Daming gives 50 taels of silk silver to the local barbarians as a fee to help the army, and it is delivered to the Fumin post outside Xifengkou. "

"Did Tuman Khan not wake up? Or did I, Qi Jiguang, lose the battle? Now I am riding on his head!" After reading the alliance letter in his hand, Qi Jiguang felt a little stupid. How could Tuman Khan have such confidence? such conditions.

Now!It was Qi Jiguang who was going out and captured Daningwei. The Tuman Khan couldn't lift his head, so he could only shrink back to Quanningwei. Tuman Khan took another step back, and then he retreated to the west side of Daxianbei Mountain, retreated from Liaodong, and retreated. Went to Yingchang!
Tan Lun picked up the letter of alliance and said in amazement: "Article [-], he will make an appointment with his majesty as the kingdom of uncle and nephew. His majesty is young, so he wants to call Tuman Khan his uncle. Later generations will still use this to say that Tuman Khan His courage is not ordinary, Yuan Fu dare not let His Majesty call him Zhongfu, and Tuman Khan wants His Majesty to call him Uncle."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Qi Jiguang said with a frosty face: "Then we have to kill him."

"Tuman Khan and Alta Khan fought for supremacy on the grasslands, and Tuman Khan was not allowed to say any weak words, that's why I said this. This letter of alliance is just a statement of a strong position, to calm people's hearts, these words They didn't tell us, but Tuman Khan told their own people, just call them back." Tan Lun shook his head while looking at the alliance letter.

After hearing Tan Lun finish speaking, Qi Jiguang also nodded to express his approval of Tan Lun. This does not mean that he approves of the alliance letter. He said in a cold tone: "That's right, throw the envoy out and ask them to formulate a new alliance agreement." Come here, otherwise there is no need to talk about it, this letter of alliance, sent to the capital, will be a disgrace to our capital."

Qi Jiguang was very angry. The supreme emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to be someone's nephew. When he couldn't beat Al Dahan back then, he didn't have such shame.

Tan Lun's judgment was extremely correct. Tuman Khan had to be so tough, otherwise the five Khalkha tribes would make a fuss.

Qi Jiguang stripped off Tuman Khan's envoys, threw them out of Qinglong Fort, and typed back the alliance letter. Not long after, Tuman Khan sent a reasonable alliance letter.

They will not accept the canonization of the imperial court. The Qinglong Fort and Xingshu Fort on the north side of Yuanbao Mountain will be used as the boundary to determine the boundaries between each other. Buy eight thousand bags of wool, one bag of wool is about 120 catties, the price can not be lower than the purchase price of Altan Khan, it is about the country of brothers, and Tuman Khan is the elder brother.

Qi Jiguang stripped the emissary again and threw it out of Qinglong Castle, and asked the emissary to take back a sentence: Take a pee and take care of yourself, and ask yourself if you are worthy!

Qi Jiguang's statement was particularly tough. He held a secret edict that all the general affairs of the Great Ningwei were under the jurisdiction of Qi Jiguang. It was his responsibility to send this kind of alliance letter to the capital.

Qi Jiguang's toughness made Tuman Khan helpless. Qi Jiguang was from the perspective of strength, so tough, what could Tuman Khan do?I had to revise the alliance letter again, and deleted the envoys that could not be lower than the purchase price of Altan Khan and the country of brothers, Tuman Khan, and passed the Great Ningwei smoothly.

When the envoy of Tuman Khan left Daningwei, it was also the time when Zhou Liangyin and other twelve censors went to Liaodong.

Zhou Liangyin looked at Tan Lun in surprise and asked, "Isn't Da Sima going to Liaodong?"

"I'm going to Daningwei. If you go to Liaodong, I'll go back to the capital." Tan Lun said as a matter of course.

The censors of Zhou Liangyin went down immediately!They were going to face that fierce Li Chengliang alone!

 I saw a lot of excitement today, the big news that Wagner made, continue to pay attention to the follow-up, ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
