Chapter 129                                                                                                                             

You should know that Zhou Shangwen was appointed as a pillar of the country at the beginning, and even Jiajing was in the heart of the emperor. The power in his hands was nothing more than this.

If it weren't for Zhou Mengchen's support, Zhou Yichang, a man without background, could not hold this army at all.

Every general wants to command more troops. It is like everyone wants to make more money, which makes Zhou Yichang reluctant to leave. But he still understands one thing, but he can still hold on, but his age is unforgivable. In another two or three years, he will probably be unable to hold on.

We will eventually retreat.

Therefore, this battle must be his last battle. Moreover, in this battle, he had a main offensive task and was the first to the army. Even the success or failure of this battle was determined by his victory and defeat with the Tatar cavalry.

This is simply an opportunity that he has never had in his life to fight. It is not a delusion to be a marquis in his battle.

Zhou Mengchen said: "The fourteen guards of Datong are under Malu and Qi Jiguang's command. After Zhou Yichang, they will be the central army. They will also take on the task of attacking Qingcheng. By the way, I am also in the army."

As soon as Zhou Mengchen said this, Yang Jisheng couldn't help but say, "This battle is dangerous. Please take care of yourself. Datong is like a strong general, enough to rely on success or failure. You are still in Yulin and waiting for the good news to defeat the thief."

As soon as Yang Jisheng said this, Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi agreed.

Before he knew it, Zhou Mengchen was no longer himself. He put too many expectations on him, for selfish interests and for public interests. For example, Yin Zhengmao, the Yin family followed Zhou Mengchen, and now there are 100,000 private goods. You should know that Yin Zhengmao was a person who could not even afford the rent. Over the years, it was a total of earth-shaking changes.

Yin Zhengmao knew who brought all this and was willing to die for Zhou Mengchen, and he also knew that Zhou Mengchen had a good relationship. None of this would exist.

But Yang Jisheng is different from Yin Zhengmao.

Yang Jisheng has already understood a fact in his team with Zhou Mengchen in recent years. He may be able to keep things to the forefront. However, Zhou Mengchen has won much better than him when he opens up the future and fights against the turbid and promotes the good. But the world has accumulated so many problems. He also needs ministers who can reform the accumulated problems.

This is not something that Zhou Mengchen cannot do.

There was a saying in Yang Jisheng's heart that he didn't say. He felt it was too stingy. It was not what a person like him said. But it was his true words, that was: "The world can have no self, but it cannot have no king."

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "Some things are not something they can do. And I have been preparing for so many years, but I am just the last moment. How can I let others do it? Don't worry, I have a clear idea in my heart for so many years. If I can't do anything, I won't throw my life away." Then he changed his words and said, "Besides these, there is one thing to do. Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Xu, please write one, no, three articles. I angrily accused the Emperor of Naturalization for not respecting the king's orders and raising troops without authorization. Now Ordos reported to the court and asked him to withdraw his troops immediately, come to Beijing by himself, and confront the people of Ordos in court. Otherwise, he would raise troops to attack him, and do not say that he was unpredictable."

Xu Wei understood a little, but didn't understand it. He said, "That's all sir?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Of course not. Now in April, May, June, July, these three months, let Li Chengliang go to Xin Aixun to read an article, and his tone would be as serious as he thought I would send troops immediately, which would be better."

At this moment, Xu Wei suddenly realized and said, "Yes, let Li Chengliang reveal some news in private. He said that after the court heard about it, Datong wanted to give the court an explanation, and there was no intention of sending troops."

"No," Zhou Mengchen said: "It's real and it's empty, it's empty and it's real."

Since it has become inevitable to delay the dispatch of troops by August, Zhou Mengchen must make good use of this period of time.

He came up with this method. After saying a lot of things, he would have no deterrence. Judging from Xin Ai's military deployment, most of the troops were not placed on suppressing the rebellion. Instead, they were placed on guard against the Datong army heading north. Zhou Mengchen's repeated warnings and even intimidation methods meant that the wolf was coming.

The first time may be effective. Xin Ai will definitely be prepared. It is best to affect Xin Ai's ongoing counter-insurgency battle.

Let Xin Ai fight last longer. In the end, it will not be finished this year.

Second, it is also legitimate.

If Zhou Mengchen got permission from Beijing, he would naturally be able to fight anyway. But Zhou Mengchen did not. So he had to pay special attention. Indeed, Zhou Mengchen had started preparing several years ago. From the moment of the peace talks, he had prepared for today. So, if only from the court procedures, Zhou Mengchen used the power of governor Datong to act cheaply and to suppress the rebellion. There was no problem. But Zhou Mengchen himself knew whether there was any problem. Because of this, he should try his best to whitewash his face.

Therefore, when the above questions, these three warnings can be handed over. It will become part of the evidence of Xin Ai's premeditation of going south and wolf ambitions.

Xu Wei said: "I understand that these three articles will definitely be well written."

Zhou Mengchen said: "After today's meeting, you will go back and prepare. But except for these ten people today, no one is allowed to know before the autumn harvest. Remember that success or failure is here. This battle is the biggest thing this year, and nothing can compare to."

"If you win, you will lay the foundation for wealth and honor in the next few decades. If you lose, you will also know the consequences."

Zhou Mengchen said it is not false at all.

If you win, this is the dynasty. No, it is the first military merit after the Ming Dynasty Tumu Fort. Even if Zhou Mengchen took action first and then reported it, Jiajing was angry and punished only Zhou Mengchen himself, not the generals below. No other reason. These generals who proved themselves in this battle are all treasures. In the future, any major battles in the court will choose generals from this group of people.

This battle in Qingcheng can bring wealth to these generals for a lifetime, no, or even for several lifetimes.

If they lose, they will follow Zhou Mengchen and enter another account. Maybe they will become the highest official in the future, and now they will be their official positions.

Not everyone likes such a big bet. However, in politics, many people cannot jump ship casually. At this moment, they can only follow Zhou Mengchen and try their best to become a winner.

Everyone obeyed the orders and said, "Abide by the orders."

After this meeting, Datong seemed to have nothing changed. But if you take your heart, you will find that Datong is already in a loose and tight inside. First, many funds from Shuozhou Supervisory were intercepted and not paid. The cost was much larger than before. Secondly, the textile industry, which was originally Datong's cash cream, has expanded a lot this year. However, the purchase quantity is not proportional to the expansion, and there are large quantities of cloth and cotton out of thin air and are nowhere to be found.

As for the training of various garrisons, the training has become denser. It has even reached the point of training every day for a while.

You should know that training is very expensive, and the soldiers are not allowed to eat and drink enough, so there is no way to train. Sometimes the consumption of training is not much worse than that of the battle. When the Ming Dynasty Jingying was in full swing, it was only trained once a day, and even the frequency was even lower.

Of course, the news said that the court was preparing to draw a group of soldiers from Datong to join the Beijing camp. Some even said that they were guarding against the Tartars' attacks. Some also said that some people in the court proposed to mobilize the Datong army, enter the south of the Yangtze River to resist the Japanese pirates, etc.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere, but no one cares about the truth.

At the same time, many of the guys who followed the caravan through Qingcheng disappeared for no reason. I heard that when I went on a long journey, my family also gave me silver. I won’t be back next year. No one was careful. If you check it carefully, you will know that this legendary caravan that was going to a long distance is simply a false one.

Zhou Mengchen's documents that rebuked Xin Ai also had an effect.
