Chapter 66                                                             �

Since I heard that Altan joined the Mongolian tribes in the Altan League, Zhou Mengchen has always paid attention to the border reports of all parties.

Since Altan officially sent troops to Datong, military newspapers from all over the country immediately became dense. As the head of the Ministry of War in charge of posts, Zhou Mengchen didn't care about anything else. He put a spring stool in the Ministry of War's duty room and regarded it as a bed.

There was nothing wrong with Ningxia, but the documents asking for relief from the superiors were written one after another. However, Xining Guard had already fallen into the fire of war, and this was the real Hu Juan Qinghai Bay. However, reading the military newspaper was also knowledgeable. Zhou Mengchen saw some clues.

With the ability of the Mongolian troops to attack cities, Altan troops are the strongest. As for the pirates, it is naturally second. Although the artillery artillery in Xining’s Acropolis walls were all from the beginning of the country, the pirates could not be defeated. It was just an emergency. In comparison, the more dangerous one was Liaodong.

The three guards of Duoyan invaded, and the troops were aimed directly at Liao Shen.

Fortunately, Liaodong Town is not a vegetarian. The three guards of Duoyan are not smooth, and Liao Town cannot find the opportunity to fight. Behind the side wall, it is like playing hide-and-seek.

One wanders around, the other puts out fires everywhere.

Anyway, Liao Town is also tied.

As for the Jurchens? OK, Zhou Mengchen also paid special attention. He was given to the Miscellaneous Hu who was subordinate to the three guards of Duoyan. It seemed that it was not worth having an entry at all.

Indeed, Zhou Mengchen was able to capture military opportunities in the Ministry of War and had to admit that even if the Jurchens were in the future, the real big trouble for the court is Altan. There are so many wars this year, but the root cause is Altan. Altan must be, and the rest is not worth mentioning.

Zhou Mengchen always paid attention to the Datong Military Daily. However, he took the Datong Military Daily and was a little disbelief at the first time. Datong Victory.

It’s not that Zhou Mengchen hopes for the bad Ming Dynasty, but that Zhou Mengchen knows the strength of Datong Town. Datong Town, which was severely damaged by vitality, is not as good as before. At this time, if you can win a great victory, Qiu Luan’s ability to use troops should be above Zhou Shangwen, or even more than one step higher.

Is this possible?

Zhou Mengchen didn't know.

Then he looked at the great victory of Datong. It was clearly stated that Altan surrounded Datong and attacked fiercely day and night. Qiu Luan stayed on the city. He saw a large bandit every day and saw a large bandit under the city. The bandits called out to the great khan and attacked it with artillery. The brigade rushed away, and Datong surrounded it and then broke up.

But the other Zhou Mengchen didn't know.

One thing he knew was that he used artillery to attack accurate targets. Zhou Mengchen had been studying this matter for the past six months.

Zhou Mengchen was sure that he could even bet on the probability of using cannons within one mile. But he should not even think about it even if he was one mile away. Even within this distance, the accuracy of the crossbow was more accurate than that of the cannons. But Zhou Mengchen also doubted whether he was thinking too much.

Because he has been on the battlefield, he knows many things on the battlefield and cannot be used to argue them according to the normal theory.

Many things on the battlefield, and later readings, think that they are absolutely impossible. But in fact, they are a reality that has happened.

Zhou Mengchen felt that as an official in the rear, he could not slander the front-line generals just based on his suspicion.

This is wrong. Regardless of whether this general is Qiu Luan or not.

He thought about going, and ordered outside: "Let Ma Fang come to see me."

Ma Fang has now had a free job in the Beijing camp. Is it almost empty-handed? Ma Fang will not have any real power in the Beijing camp, it is nothing more than a step in his qualifications. Of course, it will be beneficial to his future.

When working in the Beijing Camp, it is easy to be regarded as a reliable general when he arranges it in the future.

However, there is nothing wrong with the Beijing camp, which does not mean that Ma Fang has nothing to do. Ma Fang is already Zhou Mengchen's outer disciple at this moment.

This outer disciple was not accepted by Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen has always adhered to the extensive knowledge. Generally, Zhou Mengchen accepted him when he came to study, but he was busy with his affairs and could not teach him himself. On the contrary, Cheng Dawei became a junior brother of a professional professor. The other disciples also shared the burden.

Even Zhou Mengchen's outer disciples have already become the prototype of a school.

But this is Beijing, Zhou Mengchen must act in a low-key manner. Otherwise, he might not be able to establish an academy.

At this moment, Ma Fang was studying at Cheng Dawei.

Of course, Ma Fang is not interested in science, he is missing too many classes.

Indeed, Ma Fang's understanding of the Tartars was at the level of an expert when marching and fighting. Even in cavalry tactics, Ma Fang was at the forefront among Mongolia and Ming dynasties. However, his cultural level was too poor.

At the age of eight, he was captured on the grassland and became a man and a man. Ten years later, he was captured and ran away. Where can I get an education opportunity?

Later, I joined the army and made many military achievements. I didn’t have time to calm down and study. I could just write a few words.

After Zhou Mengchen met Ma Fang, the advice he gave to Ma Fang was to study. If he didn't study, Ma Fang's achievements in his life were limited. So Ma Fang mixed up with Zhou Mengchen's outer disciples to study. However, others had a foundation, but Ma Fang started by learning to read.

In addition to studying, Ma Fang also brought the four hundred elite riders left by Zhou Shangwen.

Ma Fang came soon.

Zhou Mengchen showed Ma Fang the good news.

Ma Fang's study has been very effective during this period. At least the words on it are not required to be read to him by others.

But Ma Fang was stunned, pointed to a place on the good news and said, "Sir, let me see, is this Zhao Da?" Zhou Mengchen saw that it was the list of fallen generals. Zhao Da ranked first. It was detailed later that Zhao Da relied on his courage and repeatedly went out of the city to rush into the formation, trapped by the enemy. He was lost in the formation. Zhou Mengchen remembered that he seemed to have a relationship with Zhao Da.

Zhou Mengchen said: "It is Zhao Da who is mourning and following changes."

Ma Fang's breathing suddenly became rapid, then he read the good news again, and with red eyes, he said to Zhou Mengchen, "This is impossible." Ma Fang was excited, as if he wanted to shout, but was suppressed. His voice was trembling a little, and he said, "I know how good Brother Zhao is. If Brother Zhao wants to leave, even thousands of troops cannot keep him. It's not that Brother Zhao has the ability to win the Yi, but that Brother Zhao is extremely agile on the battlefield. He himself said that he has a pair of dog noses and the slutty taste of Tartars, which can be felt even twenty miles away."

"The adults have never been to the battlefield. To outsiders, they can be surrounded on the battlefield. But for cavalry, as long as they run on horseback, there is no way to have no time left. If there is time left, Brother Zhao will definitely get out."

"If the Tartars catch up with hundreds of miles, it would be fine if they were trapped and lacked. But Datong City and the Tartar camp were only a few dozen miles away. Even if Zhao Da didn't ride a horse, he could get it back. How could he get caught in the formation?"

“This is impossible.”

After hearing Ma Fang's words, Zhou Mengchen was a little skeptical.

First, Zhou Mengchen felt that Ma Fang was amazing, and he didn't believe it. After all, he was an amateur in the situation on the battlefield. I don't know if Ma Fang was right. Second, Zhou Mengchen felt that Ma Fang's emotions were a bit wrong. He guessed that the person who died was Ma Fang's friend. Ma Fang's judgment added a lot of emotional things. These things affected Ma Fang's judgment.

Of course, this is understandable.

However, judging military and national affairs by this seems a bit ridiculous.

Zhou Mengchen comforted him: "Ma Fang, calm down. I can understand your mood. But national affairs are the most important things, and Zhao Da can be let go of things. I want you to take a closer look at Feng Jiebao. Is there any problem?"

Ma Fang calmed down a little and said, "There are several problems. The first is the list of deaths. A dozen generals, except for a few thousand households outside Datong, were all old subordinates of General Zhou. The generals brought by Qiu Luan, were not even dead. The second problem is that the Tartars surrounded Datong City, and he had the nerve to say a great victory."

"As for the death of Altan, it was the flower head written by the border army to report the victory. Seeing that he still had room for anything, he knew that Altan was definitely not dead and was still alive. This was clearly a defeat. Moreover, Datong could not stop Altan. Where is Altan at this moment?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen suddenly understood and said, "Are you saying that Altan is coming to Beijing at this moment?"
