Chapter 104 Jiajing panicked
Actually, it just doesn't feel sorry.
For Altan, his ruling foundation was nothing else, the Mongolian tribes, especially the Chahar tribes. The Han people were not his ruling foundation, and they didn't feel sorry for the deaths of the puppet army, just like the Japanese had never felt sorry for the casualties of the puppet army.
And Altan also found a question that he didn't know what to say.
That is, he won many battles against the Ming Dynasty. Although the Mongols got a lot of benefits, these benefits were more of material benefits. Only the White Lotus Sect led by Master Xiao had great development. After all, the Han people who had captured them either went to be horse slaves for the Mongols or joined the White Lotus Sect to farm in Fengzhoutan.
Everyone knows how to choose.
And what is even more embarrassing is that every Mongolian tribe accommodates is not infinite, and it does not require so many Han slaves. This is a necessity of the nomadic economic system. So they are very willing to exchange these Han slaves and the White Lotus Sect for something else.
Although Altan wanted to stop him, he, the Khan, was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not stop the tribes from trading privately.
Therefore, the rapid development of the White Lotus Sect made Altan a little worried. If he had the opportunity to waste it, he would naturally not show mercy.
As the White Lotus Sect became more and more popular, the contradiction between the two grew rapidly in the undercurrent. I don’t know when the level was reached.
It's just not at this moment.
Even if Master Xiao is unwilling to do so, he must make this point and say, "God Khan, I have a plan for reference."
Not to mention, Altan's ministers here were making suggestions and wanted to continue to clear the obstacles and conquer Beijing. Jiajing on Chaoyang Gate Tower was also panicked.
No, it shouldn't be said that Jiajing was panicked. It's just that Jiajing had time to get angry at this time.
Indeed, when Qiu Luan's tribe collapsed, Jiajing was completely confused at the time. He couldn't react at all, so Xu Jie made a quick decision to issue a series of orders, whether it was good or bad, let's not talk about it. Overall, the situation in Beijing that stabilized did not worsen further due to the outside world.
At this time, the pace of war slowed down. Only then did Jiajing have time to think about how to deal with this situation.
Any war has a rhythm. Whether it is writing or using troops. Now, Altan defeated Qiu Luan in one fell swoop. From Altan's perspective, it is certainly a joyful thing, but it is also an old force to use troops. He must gather his troops, rectify them, put the wounded behind, adjust the vacancy, and take a break. Then carry out the next wave of attacks.
So Altan immediately persuaded Zhou Mengchen to surrender, rather than attacking. He didn't know that persuading surrender might not be successful. It was just a time between the battlefield, and it was idle.
Jiajing said, "Where is Qiu Luan? Qiu Luan deserves to die. Jinyiwei."
Lu Bing immediately said: "I am here."
Jiajing said: "Catch Qiu Luan and seize the Xianning Marquis' Mansion."
Lu Bing said: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, no." Xu Jie said: "No."
Jiajing's face was pale and gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Luan lost his troops and humiliated the country and secretly communicated with the Tartars. Shouldn't he die? No one should persuade me. I just regret that I have too many concerns and that it will be too late to kill it. Only then will I have the same crime as this day. Whoever advises me again will be punished?"
This is one of the few words that Jiajing said the truth.
Yes, he felt that what happened today was not the one he strongly advocated to go out of the city to fight, but the one who did not make a quick decision to kill Qiu Luan. If Qiu Luan was killed from the beginning, today would never happen. Moreover, in his opinion, the troops of the Ming Dynasty would not be weak to this level. The defeat today was so miserable that Qiu Luan would definitely sell the army to Altan. Otherwise, this problem would not have happened.
In a word, all the mistakes are Qiu Luan's faults. It seems that as long as Qiu Luan is killed, all the mistakes will not exist.
This is Jiajing’s biggest problem. The first is that he never admits his mistakes. The second is that he takes his anger out.
Xu Jie said: "Your Majesty, Qiu Luan should be killed. But it is not today. Where is Qiu Luan? If the court promotes killing Qiu Luan and Qiu Luan surrenders to the enemy, I may have something I can't bear to say. After all, the enemy's lineage has been in the capital for decades and has a broad foundation. Once the internal and external collusion is really made, the capital will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Xu Jie understood much more than Jiajing. Xu Jie didn't believe Jiajing's saying that Qiu Luan secretly communicated with the Tartars. First of all, Xu Jie was not useless in military affairs. At least he could see the situation today. Whether it was said that Qiu Luan was incompetent or that Qiu Luan did not use troops. But today's situation was not what Qiu Luan intended to win.
This is beyond doubt.
Qiu Luan really wants to secretly communicate with the Tartars, and surrendering directly is no better than anything else.
But Xu Jie didn't know what happened before Qiu Luan, otherwise he would never say such a thing.
However, this reminded Jiajing.
Jiajing said in his heart: "Yes, it's hard to relieve my hatred because it makes him die so easily." He said: "What Mr. Xu said is right. Lu Bing sent an order to remove Qiu Luan from the position of General Pingluo, and do his best to let him quickly listen to it."
Jiajing understands people's minds very well.
After fighting today's defeat, Jiajing would not be at ease if he did not punish Qiu Luan. However, this punishment was just right. All the titles were added besides his job. But he still retained his job, which means that Jiajing punished Qiu Luan and also hidden the desire to protect Qiu Luan.
This will relieve Qiu Luan's heart.
As for what happens after Qiu Luan comes to the imperial front to listen to it?
Then he can't help it.
Xu Jie let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Jiajing would make another move. Although the Ming Dynasty had a strong family background, he could not afford to lose now.
Jiajing then asked, "Mr. Xu, what can I teach you about the situation now?"
Jiajing immediately became polite to Xu Jie and didn't say anything about me.
Xu Jie said: "Your Majesty, respond to all changes with the same tide."
Jiajing was a little disappointed and said, "Is that all?"
Xu Jie's voice was also a little louder, and he said, "I am not a minister who uses military force, but I also know that the way of using military force is to prepare first and then fight. When Altan comes, the court is unprepared, and the civil and military plays, and the capital camp has not been fought for many years, so it is not as good as the civil servants. This is the fault of my ministers. I should apologize for this. However, this is the case, the country should be the most important. When the Tartars retreat, it is not too late to slowly plan for it. I also ask Your Majesty to recite the foundation of the ancestors and ancestors, guard the capital and wait for the future."
Xu Jie means just one. My Emperor, don’t worry about it anymore. How much troops do you use, but now Beijing defends the city may not be enough. Where can I do other military operations? I just ask you to defend the city honestly and be a turtle.
Jiajing said, "What should I do if Zhou Mengchen does? I remember that Zhou Mengchen has a good relationship with Xu Qing."
Jiajing still has some feelings for Zhou Mengchen. It has been said implicitly here that Xu Jie, Zhou Mengchen is yours, don’t you find a way?
