Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 346

(PS: Monday is here, please ask for this week's monthly ticket and recommendation ticket.)
It was half past two o'clock, and the dormitory of Young Master Zhang, nicknamed Daming's number one workaholic, was still brightly lit. The sick Young Master Zhang was also reclined by the desk, coughing from time to time, while flipping through various books. Such military intelligence battle reports, as well as various intelligence summary from the Daming capital in the rear—Master Zhang, who is a master of political combat, does not want to be stabbed suddenly by a knife from the rear when the front line is in full swing.Therefore, even with the full support of Wei Zhongxian, a strong backer in the imperial court, Young Master Zhang still dare not take lightly the trends of the government and the public and public opinion in the rear. According to the news, basically any official in the capital has published a memorial about the Liaodong War, and Young Master Zhang will be able to know the content of the memorial in front of him within three days.

What makes Young Master Zhang feel gratified is that because the time since the start of the war is still short and the battle is going well, the public opinion in the capital is still very favorable to him, and most of the officials and people are quite satisfied with the current situation of the battle in Liaodong Young Master Zhang's public or potential opponents and political enemies can't find the slightest chance to disrupt, especially the eunuch party. Except for Feng Quan's hardcore supporters, almost all eunuch party officials support this decisive battle and continue to fight Going on, there are still many eunuch officials who have already raised the idea of ​​​​recovering the land and acres after the recovery of Liaodong. The Zhu family prince with super fertility has also begun to create public opinion, agitating for the establishment of a vassal palace in the northeast after the recovery of Liaodong, so that the Zhu family When my own people come to Liaodong, they will guard the land-don't look at these people with bad intentions, but in this situation, having their support is still a hundred times better than letting them sabotage and make trouble.And the only few remarks that are unfavorable to Young Master Zhang are that Ningyuan City has been unable to attack for a long time. For this reason, a small number of officials are quite critical, but as long as there are no problems on the battlefield, such remarks are unlikely to cause too much trouble, after all However, the rebels in Ningyuan are only suffering from scabies, and the establishment of slaves in Liaodong is a serious problem. Most Ming officials still understand this truth.

"Boss, it's almost three o'clock. You're not in good health. You'd better go to bed early." After finally waiting for Young Master Zhang to put down the book in his hand, Song Xiance immediately persuaded him kindly.Shi Kefa on the other side also rubbed his bloodshot eyes and said: "Yes, brother Zhongzheng, you should rest, you see that even those of us who are not sick can hardly hold on, you can't be so tired anymore as a patient. And Yuan Keli also yawned and said: "Zhang Shaobao, you really need to rest quickly. If you continue to be so tired and your body is exhausted, how can I explain to the emperor and Jiu Qiansui?"

"It's okay." Young Master Zhang picked up another book, coughed and said, "Go and rest first, I'll read for a while and wait for a guest by the way."

"Guest? What guest? The guest who came so late?" Yuan Keli asked in surprise.Young Master Zhang coughed and said, "The Envoy of Jiannu, Tong Yangxing. Counting the time, he should be coming."

"Boss, do you really think you are a god?" Song Xiance almost wanted to touch Young Master Zhang's forehead to see if he was running a fever and talking nonsense, and said with a wry smile, "It's fine to say that there will be enslaved envoys coming at such a late hour, you To be able to guess the name and identity of the envoy who established the slaves, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms may not be able to do this, right?"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Young Master Zhang smiled slightly.As a result, Zhang Shitou came in from outside the tent before Master Zhang finished speaking, yawned and said, "Master, Jiannu sent an envoy over, it's the old traitor Tong Yangxing we met once, and he said he wanted to thank you For the grace of releasing the envoy, by the way, agree with us on the time and place of the decisive battle, it is so late, can you see me?"

"What?" Song Xiance, Shi Kefa, and Yuan Keli jumped up at the same time, stared at Young Master Zhang in disbelief, and asked in unison: "Master (Brother Zhongzheng, Master Zhang), are you really a god? Can you even guess the name of the envoy sent by Jiannu?"

"What kind of god am I? I'm just reasoning based on the current situation and the enemy's psychological analysis." Young Master Zhang said very proudly: "When I attacked the camp of slaves today, I deliberately changed my habits and withdrew the flag array. In the Chinese army, with the treachery of Nurhachi Lao Jiannu and his son, it is impossible not to think that I retreated the flag formation to avoid being detected by them because of the aggravation of my illness, and then I released it on purpose and was accidentally arrested. The Jiannu envoy we captured just wanted to tell Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu, that I was already sick and still seriously ill, so I was in a hurry to fight him. In this way, Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu It is possible not to send an envoy over here, find an excuse to negotiate with me, and grasp my real condition."

"Brother Zhongzheng, how did you expect the name of the enslavement envoy?" Shi Kefa asked tremblingly.Young Master Zhang smiled and replied: "This is even simpler. It is impossible for Jiannu not to prevent me from playing tricks on their envoys with Li Daitao. They will definitely send out lackeys who are familiar with me to meet me, lest I use a substitute to play tricks on them." Yes. But most of the Jiannu people who are familiar with me have already been slaughtered by me. Among the remaining Jiannu traitors, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng must not come and dare not come to be this envoy, so Nuer The old Jiannu Hachi looked around, and he would definitely choose Tong Yangxing, who I met five years ago, as the emissary—except for this veteran traitor, the old Jiannu Nuerhachi couldn’t do it either. people."

Young Master Zhang smiled smugly, but Song Xiance, Shi Kefa and Yuan Keli were tongue-tied, looking at Young Master Zhang as if they were looking at an alien, their eyes were full of unbelievable expressions, and they couldn't say a word for a long time Come.After a long time, Song Xiance shook his head and said, "Boss, students sometimes really want to chop off your head, dig it out and see how you are different from others. When the old Jiannu family meets someone like you The enemy, it is really their great misfortune." Shi Kefa and Yuan Keli, two honest people, nodded in dismay, expressing their deep sympathy.

"In fact, it's good to get used to it. As long as you learn to analyze the enemy's psychology, you can predict many things like a god." Young Master Zhang smiled, and then ordered Zhang Shitou: "Go and take Zhou Mulan with you." Come on, I will teach him some words and let him meet Tong Yangxing instead of me." Zhang Shitou agreed, but when he was about to leave the account, Young Master Zhang shouted again: "Wait, this is too straightforward, Zhou Mulan is too sick , let him directly meet with the slave envoy, I am afraid it will be counterproductive, let me think again."

"Yes." Zhang Shitou stopped his steps again, and Young Master Zhang closed his eyes and calculated carefully. After a long time, Young Master Zhang straightened up, coughed and said, "How to do this, Shitou, go and tell Tong Yangxing that I have fallen asleep." Yes, let him wait until I wake up to see him. Take advantage of this time, Mr. Song, go to the barracks and find a soldier who looks similar to me, put on my clothes and make up... ...."

........................

Shouldering the important task of spying on important information about the life and death of Jiannu, the veteran traitor Tong Yangxing waited in the guest account under the strict surveillance of the Ming army until four o'clock before Zhang Shitou came to the guest account again to announce that Young Master Zhang agreed to meet him.Tong Yangxing didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly took the gift that Nuerhachi and his son presented to Young Master Zhang. Tong Yangxing was able to enter the Ming army's tent all the way, and after being searched by Ming soldiers, Tong Yangxing was able to enter the Ming army's tent. .But after entering the account, Zhang Shitou asked Tong Yangxing to stand still fifteen steps away from the handsome seat, and explained: "Mr. Tong, I am really sorry, because when I was in the Karaqin Grassland, the Tatar envoy Harbala once I tried to assassinate my young master, so for the sake of safety, the young master later issued a strict order that when the two armies are fighting, the enemy envoys are strictly prohibited from approaching him within fifteen steps. This is also for Mr. Tong, I hope you can understand. "

"Of course, General Shi, please rest assured that the envoy will abide by your army's regulations." Tong Yangxing agreed with a smile, but the sesame eyes in a pair of triangular mung bean eyes began to look around, and soon, Tong Yangxing found out That's not right—as the tent of the Chinese army of the Ming army, although the guards are extremely strict, the lights in the tent are obviously insufficient, especially next to the handsome seat of Young Master Zhang, only two candles are lit from the eight candlesticks. Looking at the past from my position, I can't see the situation over there at all!After discovering this situation, Tong Yangxing immediately raised his vigilance and became more cautious.

A moment later, Young Master Zhang, who was wearing the official uniform of the second grade Zhenghong of the Ming Dynasty, walked out from the back tent and sat down in the middle. Song Xiance, Shi Kefa and others who came out also stood still on both sides of the handsome seat.Tong Yangxing was also very cunning, knowing that it was impossible for him to see clearly the real situation of Young Master Zhang, so he deliberately bowed and said: "Dajin envoy Tong Yangxing, under the orders of Dajinhan Nuerhachi, paid homage to Zhang Haogu Zhang of the Ming Dynasty. My lord.—Master Zhang Haogu, the envoy has admired your great name for a long time, and it is my honor to meet you today."

"Mr. Tong, are you old and confused?" Zhang Shitou next to him drank coldly, "You met my young master twice in Jinzhou City five years ago, and you forgot it so soon?"

"As expected of Zhang Haogu's confidants, each of them is more cunning than the other." Tong Yangxing snorted coldly in his heart, and then changed his mouth and said with a smile: "The envoy is so old-fashioned. Five years ago, the old man did visit Zhang twice. My lord Good Gu, if General Shi Shi hadn’t reminded me, the envoy would not have remembered it.” Tong Yangxing raised the gift he brought with him over his head and said with a smile, “Master Zhang Haogu, I heard that you are expensive. I am slightly ill, and thanks to your kindness to release the messenger, the special envoy has brought a pair of century-old Korean ginseng, please accept it with a smile, Mr. Zhang Haogu."

"Thank you, Mr. Tong, Shitou, accept it." Song Xiance stood up to answer, and after Zhang Shitou accepted the gift, Song Xiance said again: "Mr. Tong, I heard that you were ordered to fight our Ming army this time." , you decide the time and place, our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been waiting for a long time, just waiting to cut off the head of the old Jiannu Nuerhachi on the battlefield, you take the initiative to make an appointment to fight, we can't wait for it."

"Ten days later, how about the decisive battle on the ruins of Xiaolinghe Station?" Tong Yangxing asked tentatively.Shi Kefa on the opposite side said angrily: "Ten days? Are you Jiannu leading? What if you ran away during these few days? Tomorrow will be a decisive battle, dare you?"

"My Dajinxiong army is invincible and invincible, why not dare?" Tong Yangxing was prepared, and deliberately smiled: "It's just that my family knows that you barbarians and reinforcements are coming soon, so I am ready to wait for your reinforcements Let's do a decisive battle when the time comes to save trouble. Master Zhang Haogu, you are in a hurry to die, and you are not in a hurry for these few days, are you?"

"Bold and lunatic, you dare to talk wildly when you are about to die?" Shi Kefa became furious, and shouted: "Come on, drag this traitor out and chop him up!"

"De-Ling!" Four soldiers of the Ming Army stood beside them, and rushed forward together, pressing Tong Yangxing to the ground.Tong Yangxing was not in a hurry, but laughed loudly, and shouted: "Kill, kill, what's the big deal? I, Tong Yangxing, as a minister of the Great Gold, was ordered to go to the enemy's camp. Determination! I just find it funny that you barbarians call themselves the Celestial Dynasty of the Central Plains. Zhang Haogu, as the Earl of Manming, an important minister of the court, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, is sneaky and dare not meet with me, a small envoy, and sends a counterfeit and two helpers The staff came out to bluff and deceive, if it gets out, it won't make people laugh out loud?"

After all, Tong Yangxing made a violent struggle, and yelled frantically: "Kill it, kill it! Zhang Haogu, don't think that our Dajin really doesn't know that you are terminally ill. If you are a man, you can fight with your real body. I met and agreed on the time for the decisive battle. Our Great Khan also wants to have a dignified conclusion with you before you die! But if you dare not come out, then you are not worthy of being our respected opponent, and our Great Khan is fine. I'm interested in a decisive battle with you! When you die of illness and die of illness, we will take the big gold army and slowly settle accounts with you barbarians!"

When Tong Yangxing finished his rant, there was no sound in the Ming army tent. After a long time, the fake Young Master Zhang who was sitting on the handsome chair stammered, "Master Song, Mr. Shi, I didn't speak, how did he know about me?" is fake?"

"Shut up!" Shi Kefa yelled angrily, then turned to Song Xiance and said, "Master Song, I think it's best to kill this traitor immediately, lest he go back and report the news."

"That's the only way to go." Song Xiance nodded slowly, and waved to Tong Yangxing. The soldiers of the Ming army understood, and dragged Tong Yangxing away.But at this moment, a hoarse voice came from the back tent, "Stop!" Immediately afterwards, four soldiers came out carrying a recliner, and the person on the recliner ordered in a low voice: "Light up all the lights, let This enslavement envoy sees me clearly."

After all the candles and oil lamps in the big tent were lit, the young master Zhang on the recliner also showed his true face. To Tong Yangxing's surprise, the young master Zhang in front of him had become a little thinner than Nuerhachi, with a full face Sick, dying, as if he might die at any time, if it weren't for the barely recognizable facial features, Tong Yangxing, who had seen Young Master Zhang before, couldn't believe it. The person in front of him was the good-looking, handsome and virginal five years ago Zhang Haogu, a beautiful man from China.At this time, Shi Kefa and Song Xiance surrounded him and said together: "Master (Employee), why are you out again? The imperial physician said that you must rest more now."

"It's okay." Young Master Zhang shook his head, forced himself to sit up, and said to Tong Yangxing in a hoarse voice: "Go back and tell Old Jiannu, I know he has already guessed that my condition has worsened, but he shouldn't be too happy It's too early. After five days, my father-in-law Xiong Dushi will be able to rush to Xiaolinghe battlefield to take over my command of the whole army and continue to fight against your slaves. I will give you two choices now, one is within five days , and I will have an upright, life-and-death decisive battle, fulfilling his last wish of the old Jiannu, and also fulfilling my last wish. The second is that you should learn to shrink your heads, my father-in-law, Xiong Dushi, is not so Very annoying."

"The envoy will definitely replay Master Zhang Haogu's original words to my Dahan." Tong Yangxing agreed happily.Young Master Zhang lay back on the couch, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You can get out, and by the way, tell Nuerhachi, old Jiannu, if I can't make a final settlement with him, I will be very sorry. But now I I have given him this opportunity, and if he doesn’t dare again, I have no regrets.”

"The ambassador will leave." Tong Yangxing happily agreed, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.As a result, when Tong Yangxing walked out of the big tent, the exclamations of Song Xiance, Shi Kefa and others immediately sounded in the tent, "Master, what's wrong with you?" You idiot, pinch someone!"

"God has eyes, Zhang Haogu is finally finished!" Tong Yangxing laughed wildly in his heart, hurried out of the camp, and rushed back to the Jiannu camp overnight to report the good news.

........................

When Tong Yangxing returned to the Jiannu camp ecstatically, it was already dawn, and Nuerhachi and his son, who had not slept all night, immediately met Tong Yangxing in the Chinese army tent. After telling the story of meeting Young Master Zhang, Nurhachi's only surviving sons, Huang Taiji, Daishan, Babuhai, Lai Mubu, and Fan Wencheng roared with excitement. Lai Mubu couldn't help crying, wiped his tears and said: "God open your eyes, that little savage Zhang Haogu will be taken away by God at last, God bless Dajin, God bless me Dajin!"

"Father, blessings are equal to the sky, and Huang Tian's blessing, Zhang Haogu's little savage will finally be punished!" Fan Wencheng was also crying with excitement, "Father, brother, the enemy who killed you has finally been punished. You can rest in peace!" Affected by the emotions of Lai Mubu and Fan Wencheng, the other sons of Nurhachi also began to have sore noses, wet eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears-there was no way, Jiannu was really tortured. Young Master Zhang was in too much misery and suffering. His sworn enemy was finally going to be seriously ill. The joy and excitement are hard to describe with words.

Contrary to the excited sons, Nuerhachi himself was silent, until the big tent was full of crying, and even the ordinary slave guards were crying, Nuerhachi couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table and roared frantically: "Shut up! Whoever dares to cry again, I will kill him immediately!" Nuerhachi and his sons shut up together, and when they went to see Nuerhachi in horror, Nuerhachi was full of tears. The wrinkled old face had already turned livid with anger, and he slapped the table and roared: "A bunch of trash! How did I give birth to you bunch of wretches?! Zhang Haogu's little savage, he is indeed our sworn enemy , but you trash, not only do you not want to defeat him on the battlefield, but cut off his head to avenge your brothers and our soldiers! Instead, you cry out of joy because he is about to die of illness, are you still my son? ? Is it still a Daikin warrior?!"

Nuerhachi's disciples were ashamed, and they all lowered their heads, so ashamed that they didn't dare to say a word for a long time.After a long time, Huang Taiji, who is currently the most favored, murmured: "Ama taught me the right thing, my subjects are afraid of that little savage, but Ama also said that it is impossible to rely on the bravery of a man on the battlefield." Those who win battles must take advantage of all available advantages in order to be victorious in every battle. Now that little barbarian Zhang Haogu is about to die of illness, this is a godsend opportunity for us..."

"Then do you have the guts to fight Zhang Haogu head-on?" Nuerhachi asked sharply.Huang Taiji quickly shut up, Daishan, Babuhai and Lai Mubu also shut their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.Seeing that his sons were so helpless, Nuerhachi couldn't help laughing loudly, and scolded with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I never thought that I, Nuerhachi, was invincible in the battlefield all my life. But you have to count on the enemy's coach to die of illness to see the hope of victory! The sons you give birth to are also more useless than the other, and you don't even have the courage to challenge the enemy head-on on the battlefield. Regretted for not being able to defeat a strong enemy with one hand, but cried out of excitement and joy!"

"God!" Nuerhachi looked up to the sky and sighed, "I really don't know now, whether I should cry or laugh! In this battle, even if I win this battle because Zhang Haogu's little savage died of illness, I won't die with peace!"

Just as the dying hero Nurhachi looked up to the sky and sighed, almost at the same time, a vigorous homing pigeon flew through the wind and waves, flew over Phi Island, and shot straight into the pigeon coop in the backyard of Mao Wenlong Mansion on Phi Island.Soon, the small note tied to the carrier pigeon's leg was delivered to Mao Wenlong. After reading the contents of the note, Mao Wenlong immediately handed over the things that Song Xiance had given to him for safekeeping, and gave it to his confidant Liu Xingzuo to order: "Immediately, use the Send the fastest boat and fastest horse to Yue Tuo! By the way, send an order to the whole army. It is time for a full-scale decisive battle. Tomorrow, gather the whole army and launch a counterattack against Tieling! Even if Yue Tuo cannot be destroyed, his red flag inlaid with red flags must be killed. , Don't let him have the opportunity to return to Liaodong!"

Note: Pure Wolf does not know much about the details of carrier pigeons. Through the calculation of the map scale, it is found that the straight-line distance from Jinzhou to Pidao is about 320 kilometers. At least the pigeons were released from Jinzhou at noon on October 350, and Mao Wenlong received the pigeons in the early morning of October 23. The flight took about [-] hours, which should be reasonable.If there is a mistake, I hope the expert will point it out.
