Chapter 536 535 Chaotic situation

"So, what information has the factory guards found since the Tartars broke the border wall?"

Emperor Jiajing ignored Huang Jin and continued to ask questions.

Huang Jin was a little bit waxed, but at least he managed the East Factory, targeting the Beijing officials.

Now the wars are happening outside the capital, and it is actually the matter of the Jinyiwei to collect intelligence.

Kneel down with a "thump", and thought about the notes I saw in the past two days and replied: "Two days ago, many people in Ji Town said that they were Tartars recruited by Tonghan and his son."

Emperor Jiajing looked serious and asked, "Aren't Tonghan's father and son already controlled by Yang Xuan? How could anyone say that it was the Tartars they recruited?"

"Your Majesty, this time the Tartar thief chief is Altan Khan's son Xin Ai Taiji, and his wife is Tonghan's adopted daughter. The relationship between the two is not ordinary.

As for their entry into the pass, I don’t know whether Yang Xuan knew about it.”

Huang Jin said hurriedly, paused for a moment before saying, "However, when the Tartars broke through the pass, Yang Xuan led the Jizhen army to station in Shanhaiguan."

"Where is Yangxuan now?"

Emperor Jiajing asked with a frown.

"It should have arrived in Tongzhou."

Huang Jin said that there was a record of this information on the note sent to the palace by the Jinyiwei, so he spoke: "According to the secret report of the Jinyiwei, the Tartars invaded Sanhe and surrounded the Sanhe Ginseng General Fu Jin's troops in Zhengguantun.

At this time, Yang Xuan was in Sanhe City, but because of the lack of troops around him, he sent someone to send orders to Tongzhou, the general of Ji Town, Sun Bin, and Miyun, the deputy general of Miyun, to rescue him, and he went from Sanhe to Tongzhou."

"hehe."

After listening to Huang Jin's detailed explanation, Emperor Jiajing not only chuckled, but also didn't know what he thought of.

Although he was in doubt, Huang Jin didn't dare to ask. Then he heard Emperor Jiajing say, "Get up and send someone to invite two elders to see me."

Huang Jin hurriedly got up outside the hall gate, called an attendant to invite Xu Jie and Yuan Wei, and then returned to the hall.

Soon, Xu Jie and Yuan Wei were taken into the hall by the servants.

"You have read all the battle reports from the Ministry of War."

Emperor Jiajing looked at the two and said with a smile: "Yang Xuan reported that he led his troops to attack the enemy and forced him to escape from the east, and prayed for rewards for the soldiers. What do you think?"

When Xu Jie and Yuan Wei both looked at each other when they heard the emperor's question, they naturally felt the sarcastic smell in Emperor Jiajing's words.

Yuan Wei withdrew his gaze, but his eyes were low. He was the second assistant. It should be said that Xu Jie would first say that if the emperor was not satisfied, he could speak.

So, at this time, Yuan Wei was recalling the news compiled by various parties in the past two days, thinking about what he should say if he asked him.

And Xu Jie's side naturally had expected it, after all, Yang Bo had looked for him before.

To be honest, who was the governor of Ji Liao, has nothing to do with him.

Xu Jie had already felt that although the emperor still trusted him, he would not give him great power just like he was tolerating Yan Song back then.

Governor General of Ji Liao, this is the responsibility of Kyoto's safety, and it is impossible for him to recommend him to take charge of him.

But this time, Jizhenjun's performance was really bad and he was passive throughout the whole process.

Even at this time, there were still many troops on the road in Jizhen.

They are the army guarding the capital.

The reason for all this is, as Yang Bo said, is because of Yang Xuan.

He is indeed not suitable to continue to serve as the position of Governor General of Jiliao.

Since he recognized Yang Bo's words and agreed to his request, Xu Jie said, "The enemy camp is still in the Pinggu of Sanhe River. I have chosen others to go to Tongzhou. It is said that those who pursue the murder are false."

When he heard Xu Jie say this, not only Huang Jin, but even Yuan Wei turned around and looked over.

Xu Jie's words just now were quite serious, just saying that Yang Xuan would deceive the king.

The Tartars were in Pinggu and were about to go north to the Great Wall, but Yang Xuan went south to Tongzhou and said that he was chasing the enemy, which was ridiculous.

"I heard that the Xuanfu army has arrived in Changping?"

Emperor Jiajing did not continue this topic, and if he continued, he could only choose Yang.

It is not suitable to pursue this matter now in wartime.

For officials like Yang Xuan, the disciples and former officials are mixed and cannot move, but it is not the time.

Xu Jie told all the battle situation he knew again. Some of them were already known by the Jiajing Emperor, but some did not know. The official documents were only in the cabinet and had not been sent to the palace.

"Yang Bo's planning seems to be unfeasible. The Tartars fled north from Pinggu, unless Xuan Da's army continues to attack eastward, but it is already a tired army."

Emperor Jiajing naturally understood the current situation after hearing Xu Jie'er's statement.

At the beginning, Xu Jie focused the battlefield between Miyun and Shunyi, but Huangtaiji's army moved eastward, just jumped out of this encirclement.

If at the beginning, the Ming army of Jizhen did not go north from Tongzhou, but attacked north from Sanhe, and happened to fight against the Tatars.

If the pioneer army in Jizhen can reach Pinggu first and block the Tatars' return route north, there will also be a chance to achieve encirclement.

But, however, Yang Xuan chose the starting point of the offensive in Tongzhou.

Of course, he was not responsible for this, and the Ministry of War planned so at the beginning.

"You go down and inform Yang Bo, and order him to perform his duties and defeat the Tartars as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiajing knew about this result, and perhaps a little disappointed, so he waved his hand and asked Xu Jie and Yuan Wei to retreat.

This time, everyone who was summoned was Xu Jie, and Yuan Wei basically didn't say anything.

But who told him to be the second assistant?

"I'm going to leave."

Xu Jie and Yuan Wei gave a deep blessing, then retreated to the palace gate, turned around and walked out.

After Xu Jie and Yuan Wei left, Emperor Jiajing's eyes flashed, and Huang Jin beside him felt the murderous intent from the emperor.

Huang Jin understood that the master he served had a murderous intention.

The situation this time is similar to that of more than ten years ago. The Tartars broke through the gates and plundered around the capital, and then successfully left the gates, trampling their faces under their feet and rubbing them hard.

It is impossible for Emperor Jiajing to not hate him in his heart.

He needs to vent this negative emotion.

Unlike the last time, due to various reasons, the Ming army was even less prepared this time, and the troops rushed to fight.

Especially the Jizhen Army, the cornerstone of the defense of the capital, was still in Shanhaiguan when the Tatars broke through the pass.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing knew the reason.

Although foreign ministers all know that he is undecisive and does not firmly support Yang Bo's opinion, this is not a reason.

The emperor will not be wrong.

The only one who was wrong was Yang Xuan, who was extremely stupid and had no luck in planning, but at this time he shamelessly robbed the merits and prayed for merits.

"You two bring this letter out of the city. Take this sign and use it at the city gate."

"Yes, Master."

"When I see Ma Fang, I tell him that I must lead a light cavalry to advance eastward and catch up with the Tartars. I cannot let them leave easily, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

At this time, Wei Guangde stood outside the gate of Prince Yu's mansion and ordered the two personal soldiers coming from home.

These two were messengers who had always been in charge of contact with the Wei family and Xuanfu, and everyone around Ma Fang knew them.

"Tell him, don't worry, fight boldly, the Tartars should be going to escape now. Even if they know they are chasing them, they will not have time to return to fight them. As long as they don't chase out of the Great Wall and go to the grassland, it will be safe.

Near them, the various ministries in Jizhen should be not far apart, and the Tartars would never dare to stay in the pass for a long time."

I only wrote one letter, it doesn’t matter who carries it.

But now the situation outside the city is chaotic. Although the Ministry of War and Wei Guangde all believed that the Tartars should retreat, it is not ruled out that there are scattered Tartars still looting everywhere.

They either created a chaotic suspicion or lost contact with the main force of the Tartars and did not receive any news, so Wei Guangde wanted to explain to them what was going on.

If you are in danger in the middle of the journey and the letter is lost, as long as one person can see Ma Fang, the news can also reach his ears.

The two of them put the letters into bamboo tubes, carried them on their backs, then they got on their horses and rode towards the north of the city.

Zhang Juzheng, who was at the gate, also walked out and raised his hand and pointed upward, "I don't look at the time. It's going to be dark not far from the city. The situation outside the city is now complicated, so I'm not afraid of throwing their lives outside."

"The situation is urgent and urgent, and I don't have time to let them wait overnight."

Wei Guangde said with a wry smile.

In his opinion, the Tartars at this time were probably already turning to Pinggu under the leadership of Huang Taiji.

If Ma Fang could receive his own letter tonight or early morning, he would immediately lead his troops eastward and would have the chance to intercept the troops that were cut off from the Tatars.

Otherwise, when he led his army to Pinggu, he would not even be able to see the flying dust.

But this time, he, or the entire Ministry of War, did not expect that when they thought the Tartars would go back after robbing things and would not cause any trouble, a massacre was being staged twenty miles southwest of Zhengguantun, and the Ming army also ushered in the battle that the Tartars suffered the most heavy losses after entering the pass.
To be continued...
