Chapter 95 Hit it off

Chapter 95                                                             �

Qiu Luan was ready. He prepared several sets of free moves to let Zhou Mengchen obediently and become his scapegoat. Once the war fails, it is naturally not a problem that Qiu Luan is dispatching behind him, but a problem of Zhou Mengchen, who is in charge of the vanguard. At that time, Zhou Mengchen, who is the military supervisor, will ignore his subordinates and use any means to seize credit.

Even the charges were prepared for Zhou Mengchen.

I think Zhou Mengchen is not a fool and knows that there is something wrong with this. If you want Zhou Mengchen to surrender, you have to put in some effort.

He never thought that the smoothness made Qiu Luan a little incredible. In his impression, Zhou Mengchen was a little pedantic, but wasn't he a fool?

Qiu Luan seemed to have punched her in vain.

My heart is very complicated.

Zhou Mengchen didn't care. He continued, "General, remember, I have thousands of people in the army. Give him a name."

Qiu Luan said without hesitation: "It's easy to say."

It’s not that Qiu Luan was easy to talk to, but that the Ming army was very chaotic at this time, especially among the army outside the city, there were many militias. Although these militias were also led by the magistrate or the military prefecture, overall, the management was very chaotic.

In addition, according to the military practice, those who serve as military supervisors must have some people under their charge, whether they are civil servants or eunuchs. Moreover, if the children of the family are transferred, they will also bring servants. For example, Zhou Shangwen's 400 cavalry are his personal soldiers. If Zhou Shangwen is transferred from the General of Datong to the General of Xuanfu, this person will also be taken away.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Since that's the case, I will take a team of people as the pioneer."

Qiu Luan was shocked again and asked, "This matter is not a joke, you have thought about it."

Zhou Mengchen said: "I have already thought about it. I will definitely win tomorrow's battle. There are not many families who cannot refuse their nephews. As long as they take them to the battlefield to make some military achievements, they will be able to settle in the future. Please be kind to the general."

Qiu Luan looked at Zhou Mengchen with a little strange look, and even wanted to ask, are you asking these sons and nephews to make money, rather than letting their parents give them black hair?

If Qiu Luan's original intention was to win this battle, he would never agree. But Qiu Luan didn't think so. From the beginning, he was thinking about how he would not burn the fire on himself if he was defeated in this battle. Therefore, he didn't care how weird Zhou Mengchen was. He was going to die anyway.

Moreover, this is another charge of Zhou Mengchen, who is nepotism and valued the use of playboys, and harms the overall situation of the country.

Qiu Luan said: "Don't doubt people, but don't doubt people. Since Lord Zhou said that, how can I not agree?"

Zhou Mengchen didn't expect it to be so smooth. He immediately said, "Thank you, General."

Zhou Mengchen's gratitude was true. He also prepared many methods to win the vanguard position and control the most critical battle in his own hands. Zhou Mengchen was really not optimistic about the chance of winning this battle. By this time, Zhou Mengchen had already decided to take the initiative.

He firmly believed that no one would do better than him at this time.

Of course, he still knew that this was a gamble. But compared to the rise and fall of the country and the suffering of the people, it is no big deal to use himself as a bargaining chip.

What's more, it's not without hope of victory.

Zhou Mengchen and Qiu Luan made a decision.

Zhou Mengchen said goodbye in a hurry. Xuan Dajun had nothing to do, and Zhou Mengchen didn't expect them to perform well. He just hoped that they could do a cheerleading team under the city wall, shaking flags and making a big noise.

Before the war, Zhou Mengchen had to make more perfect preparations.

After Zhou Mengchen left, Qiu Luan received a letter from Altan. Altan also reminisces about the past and reiterates his intention to surrender, and makes him willing to grant Qiu Luan the King of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, he goes to the next best, saying that he is willing to seek a high position for Qiu Luan and release the waters in the tomorrow's battle. Let Qiu Luan perform well in front of Jiajing. Of course, Qiu Luan wants to increase the money.

A series of conditions were proposed, such as delaying for more than a month, so that the Tartar army had enough time to carry the spoils. Returning to the outside of the pass, it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, etc.

It made Qiu Luan feel a little painful.

He felt an unknown feeling at this moment. He felt that Altan's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and he felt a little too full. He thought to himself: "If this continues, you have to make plans early." However, that is the future. It would be better if Altan is willing to agree now.

He was unable to beat the tiger and could only spend money to win.

Then he wrote another letter to Altan.

Of course I agreed.

Although the Jinyiwei arranged a net of heaven and earth, in order to prevent the attack from alarming the snake, some letters were not cut off. Of course, it was very simple to take action outside the camp. However, it was a little difficult to deal with it. After robbing Altan's letter to Qiu Luan, both sides were suspicious for a while. In the end, they only thought it was a mess. Someone killed it by accident, and then it was revealed.

It's indiscriminate.

However, even so, the matter here was reported immediately to Jiajing.

Jiajing was furious when he heard this and said to Lu Bing: "What is Qiu Luan doing? Zhou Mengchen is the military censor sent by me. What is his intention? Is there any more I in my heart? Or is my military censor annoyed? What did Zhou Mengchen do? I want him to be a military censor. Don't he know what he did? What did he do? As soon as Qiu Luan said that, he agreed. Did he think he was a military general? What did he want to do?"

Although Jiajing scolded him for a while, his feelings for the two were still different. For Qiu Luan, Jiajing had long led him into the ranks of the enemy. Qiu Luan's heads were just temporary loans. Every sentence was heartbroken. However, for Zhou Mengchen, he hated him for not fighting and was angry that he did not follow his own ideas. In addition, he also had a little bit of worry.

After all, there are dangers in this. Even people who don’t understand military can see clearly when looking at the formation diagram.

Lu Bing immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty calmed down. I think Lord Zhou wants to win this battle."

Jiajing said, "Zhou Mengchen, just him?"

The implication is obvious. Jiajing never thought that Zhou Mengchen was a war material. Yes, Jiajing knew Zhou Mengchen quite well. The astronomy and calendar were used to build machinery. Zhou Mengchen did all these things well, but how could Zhou Mengchen fight? This was a bit far apart.

Lu Bing said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou defeated Altan at Yongning Pass last year. I have read the file and the battle is quite remarkable. Moreover, the people used by Lord Zhou have already checked. They are craftsmen from the military weapon supervisor. They will be tried out by military weapon supervisors. Whether they have to shoot fire guns or cannons, they must be shot 200 times. These craftsmen are also familiar with firearms. Moreover, Lord Zhou seems to have also called the chariots built for Zeng Xian. They can arrange the chariots. I think that among the Xuanda army, Lord Zhou may have temporarily formed this team of troops to guard them."

If Zhou Mengchen was here, he would definitely be amazed. What he did in Beijing could not hide from the eyes and ears of the Jinyiwei. Lu Bing was rotten in his stomach, and when needed, he could find a bottom to the sky.

Jiajing was slightly stunned when he heard this.

It seems that I haven't heard of the name Zeng Xian for a long time.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard this, Jiajing had some trance illusion. A thought came from his heart and said to himself: "So Zeng Xian is still here, can I feel the humiliation of today?"

When the country is in trouble, I think of good generals. When the country is in trouble, I know the sincere ministers.

At this time, Jiajing also felt a little regretful, remembering what the old Shangshu said at that time. Zeng Xian could be demoted, exiled, imprisoned, but not executed. Because this is a talented national sage, and there are few in the world.

But Jiajing was so stubborn that he suppressed this slight regret. He said, "Since Zhou Mengchen wants to do this, I don't care. He just wants to do whatever he wants?" Although Jiajing said this, he paused slightly and said, "Lu Bing."

Lu Bing said: "I am here."

Jiajing said: "Select hundreds of elite cavalry from the Jinyiwei and send them to Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen I have some usefulness, but if there is any disagreement, I will take Zhou Mengchen down from the battlefield. Remember, I want to live, not die."

Lu Bing immediately said: "I obey the order."

Jiajing opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But he waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll keep an eye on Qiu Luan."
