Chapter 172 The Battle of the Battle

There is a kind of censor who impeaches powerful ministers or even provokes the emperor. What they want is just the word "fame". Some people are even paranoid to the point of being outrageous. Even if they die, as long as they can become famous all over the world, they will do whatever they want. ←,.

For such a person, Tang Yi only has two words: "dog belt".

The lucky Yang Jisheng was definitely not such a person. When he learned that Altan had invaded, the Mongolian army showed off his might outside the city, and his beard and hair were immediately slashed, and his eyes were about to break.

"Master, I am willing to follow the example of Han Suwu, even if I die, I will be able to do my mission!"

Mr. Xu nodded with relief and reminded: "Zhongfang, you are going to find out the truth and truth of Altan and figure out his plans. Never act irresponsibly."

Yang Jisheng scratched his head and smiled silly, "Just say that, I want to see how Brother Zicheng and Xingzhi deal with Altan!"

"You just trust them so much?" Lu Bing asked with his big hands rubbing.

Yang Jisheng slapped his chest and smiled and said, "Lu Taibao, the officials thought they would die, but they could pull me back from the gate of hell. Who do you believe in if you don't believe them?"

Lu Bing was stunned and then smiled and said, "I hope your Majesty has not read the wrong person."

"Your Majesty?" Tang Shen was stunned.

Looking at Tang Shen's puzzled gaze, Lu Bing laughed and scolded: "You are full because I am full. If your Majesty hadn't signaled, I would have come out to recommend Yang Jisheng. Why didn't Yan Shifan hate me? I can tell you that we are just grasshoppers on the same rope now. What should we do depends on you."

It's true!

Although Lu Bing, as the most powerful Jinyiwei, was actually far from looking strong. To put it bluntly, he was just Jiajing's puppet. Thinking of this, Tang Yi was no longer afraid.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Jiaoshan, go and prepare first, and immediately bring a few people to see Altan outside the city." Yang Jisheng nodded and said goodbye and left the cabinet's duty room.

...

After sending Yang Jisheng away, Tang Yi relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Ge Lao, Taibao, to put it bluntly, if Mr. Jiaoshan doesn't go, I can guess Altan's purpose."

Lu Bing hurriedly asked, "Boy, don't brag?"

Mr. Xu suddenly smiled hoarsely: "Prevent Lu, I think Altan is here for the Tonggong trade."

"Georgie wise!" Tang Yi flattered smoothly.

Since the Mongolians were driven back to the desert, they have lost their ambition to compete for the world. What they want is to live a comfortable life. But there is nothing but cattle and sheep on the grassland, and they have to gather people and horses again and again to come and plunder.

However, although the Ming Dynasty had food, it had a nine-sided important town that had been in operation for a hundred years and had many troops stationed. Looting was a high-risk matter.

Especially for pots, pans, cloth and food, it is really not worth it. Not to mention that for the Mongolians, the necessities of life are much more valuable than gold, silver and treasures. For this little thing, both sides complained.

The Mongols were tired of it first and instead actively asked for trade, but there were no other things in the Ming Dynasty. There were a few poor bones, but they didn't agree. They just established the Ma City in Liaodong and the Tea City in the northwest, and adopted a tough trade blockade against the Tatar tribes that were mainly enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Altan Khan rose, he has been plaguing the Ming Dynasty. What he wants is nothing more than the word "trade".

As the saying goes, if you prescribe the right medicine, as long as you agree to Tonggong, Altan will get out immediately. Xu Ge Lao has been at the center for a long time and knows it well. However, the forced melon is not sweet. The heavenly kingdom wants face, scholars want face, and Emperor Jiajing wants face, and humiliatedly accepting Tonggong trade. What is the difference between it and the annual tribute in the Song Dynasty? This is absolutely not feasible.

...

"After that, you won't plan to agree to Tonggong in exchange for Altan's withdrawal, right? If so, I must not agree!" Mr. Xu said confidently, without any room for anything.

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "You have no such plan. Even if you are a tribute, it will be given by the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom and cannot be robbed. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Heavenly Kingdom?"

"That's the reason." Lu Bing asked worriedly: "Since that's the case, how are you going to deal with Altan? Should you summon the army to support the king?"

"Haha, the king? I'm afraid that those people will run away before they meet the Tartars." Tang Yi smiled and said, "Although Altan has an army of 100,000, in fact, a main soldier must have two or three cooperative servants, so Altan's real combat power is only about 30,000. They came for the tribute and did not carry siege weapons. Even if they were outside the capital, they were just bluffing. As long as the city was stabilized, they would not have the ability to invade."

After listening to Tang Yi's analysis, Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu Bing looked at each other. It seemed that the situation was not particularly bad. He just guarded the capital. Even if Altan couldn't kill him, he could still plunder other cities everywhere, and he would still suffer serious losses. And what's the difference between doing this and Mr. Yan? How do you explain to Jiajing?

Xu Jie's face was as deep as water, and said, "OK, tell me all your ideas, don't hide them."

"Affect the order."

Tang Yi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary to mobilize the army to support the king just now, but I can issue an order to send troops to the nine-sided towns into the grassland in large numbers. Don't fight. As long as you make a stance to surround Wei and save Zhao, you can force Altan to withdraw his troops."

"Great!" Lu Bing applauded happily. He knew the virtues of the border army more than anyone else. The grandsons were very slippery and rushed up when they saw the cheaper ones and hid far away when they encountered difficulties. It may not be possible to let them compete with Altan head-on, but they may not dare to let them take advantage of the situation.

"I will ask Your Majesty for the decree."

Tang Yi added: "It is best to let the Thirteenth Princess of the Jinyiwei come forward as an imperial envoy to supervise the border army to fight."

"It's easy to say." Lu Bing agreed readily.

Xu Jie was still a little worried and asked, "Can you resist Altan by relying on the troops in the capital by yourself if you don't mobilize the king's troops? After all, what if Altan is crazy and attacks the capital?"

"What the elders are concerned about is," said Tang Yi: "Young and strong people must be recruited. There are millions of household registrations in the capital, and it is not a problem to concentrate 30,000 young and strong people. It just needs to be carried out some training, which will take time."

"How much time do you want?" Xu Jie asked.

"Ten days, ten days are enough!" Tang Yi patted his chest and said, "I have studied it with Mr. Jingchuan. Generally, young and strong people can only teach them to assassinate and achieve something in one month. Although they cannot fight wildly, they are more than enough to cooperate with the army to defend the city. Now the situation is urgent, and practice day and night, and it should be fine for ten days, but I also need to ask the Master of the Pavilion to do a favor."

"What are you going to do with me?" Xu Jie asked.

"Please gather all the Jinshi in the current class."

"What can they do?" Mr. Xu couldn't help laughing: "Don't you think everyone is like your father, both civil and military, right?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Gei Master, the boy didn't expect them to go to war. As long as the Jinshi master can follow the training, it can arouse the enthusiasm of young and strong, improve morale, and calm the hearts of the people. The court sent out all the new Jinshi. What else can others say? The military and civilians must serve loyally and double their combat power. Altan came from afar, and the longer the time was delayed, the more unfavorable it was for him. Once Altan could not hold on, we would bite hard, which would definitely hurt Altan severely."

After listening to Tang Yi's introduction, Xu Jie thought about it and said that this plan was quite safe. Moreover, the Shazhou Victory was real, and Xu Jie still trusted Tang Yi's military talents.

"Zicheng, what do you think?"

Mr. Xu also wanted to verify from Tang Shen, how could Tang Shen slap his son in the face? Although he was full of questions, he still solemnly said: "It would be better for the minister and the military and civilians to be united in a strict manner. The student immediately picked out a surprise soldier from the Beijing camp as a support. As the saying goes, with the right combination, he won the arrogance of the Tartars, and kept the custody and defeated the arrogant Tartars."

"Okay, I'll ask Your Majesty to issue an order immediately." Mr. Xu finally nodded.

Xu Jie and Lu Bing both made arrangements, leaving only Tang Yi and Dad. Tang Shen looked around and suddenly said in a low voice: "Yi'er, aren't you crazy? In ten days, I'm afraid I can't even tell the left and right. As for my group of people in the same year, I'm pointing at them to train well and improve morale, I think it's a delusion."

Tang Yi also said in a low voice: "Dad, the child didn't want to count on them."

"Then do you still make a promise?" Tang Shen was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. He really didn't know what his son was trying to do. He bit his back teeth and warned: "Yi'er, don't joke about our father-in-law's heads?"

"Dad, don't worry, the Buddha needs five hundred arhats to preach. This time, Altan has made such a big noise, so we must also make the noise, creating a united attitude. At that time, the rewards of merit and dew can be paid equally, and the number of people behind the new Jinshi will also say good things for us. In this way, if Your Majesty has a step forward, we will be done."

Tang Shen finally heard his son's heartfelt words and suddenly shuddered, his voice changed, "Yi'er, why do I feel that I'm just doing a temple without chanting scriptures?"

Tang Yi rolled his eyelids and said, "Dad, you said you can recite good scriptures when pointing at the waste from Beijing?"

The two men stared at each other, hoping that Altan did not see through their empty city plan, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable... Several years later, someone asked Tang Yi, if Altan chose to attack fiercely and enter the capital, you would be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans, so don’t you know how to be afraid? Tang Yi looked at the sky and said a famous saying that made the other party vomit blood three feet: If he really came in, the Ming Dynasty would be over, who would still have the heart to cure my crime!

...

Altan was stationed outside Dongzhimen and destroyed the houses north of Deshengmen and Andingmen. The news continued to spread to Yuxi Palace, and Jiajing was very upset.

What I comforted was that Mr. Tang Shen and his two men were decisive and decisive. In less than two days, they recruited 30,000 strong men, and each hundred people sent a new Jinshi. Under the command of veterans, they practiced for a whole day, shouting loudly and were as powerful as rainbows. At the same time, they checked the military food and grass, cut off the heads of three warehouse officials, and the people in the capital were cheered up. All the officials in the court praised him, and His Majesty was good at employed people!

"Mai Fu, what do you think of Tang Shen and his son?"

Mai Fu sighed: "It's a talented person, and it's only a few days to make the capital like an iron bucket. The emperor has used the right person."

"Well, it's both father and son, the difference is really big!" Jiajing sighed. (To be continued.) "", read the latest and most complete novel!
