The fourth volume, the fifty-fifth chapter, the great shame

The Tartars' attack to the capital of the Ming Dynasty was a very shame. Since the Tumu Fort Incident, although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has declined day by day, the Tartars' attack to the capital has never happened again.

It has been more than a hundred years, is it that I will be humiliated again?

Why?

Jiajing really couldn't figure out what he did worse than his ancestor Yingzong.

The ancestor Yingzong was led by the eunuch Wang Zhen and completely handed over the government affairs to a eunuch. He encountered the Tumu Fort change and allowed the Tartars to attack the capital. He kept the lesson in mind and never let the eunuch interfere in politics. Even the Jinyiwei was strictly controlled and never did anything out of order.

Why did he suffer such a great humiliation with such great shame?

This question is actually very simple. The person who caused him to be humiliated is actually right in front of him. If he hadn't been too fond of Yan Song, killed Zhu Wan, Zeng Xian and other loyal ministers and generals, and appointed treacherous villains like Qiu Luan, how could the Tartars be so arrogant?

At this time, he didn't know that the whole thing was planned by Qiu Luan, a treacherous villain, and he didn't realize that if he continued to favor Yan Song, the treacherous minister, the Tartars would bring him more than this humiliation.

He even placed his hopes on Yan Song, hoping that the cabinet chief whom he was extremely beloved could come up with some good solutions for him.

Yan Song said that Jizhou could not be defended anymore, so the Tartars could not be avoided when they arrived in the capital. How could they fight the Tartars away?

He asked anxiously: "If the Tartars really break through Jizhou Town, what should we do?"

Yan Song could not come up with any tricks. If he was to fight for power and profit, he would be a good move against his own people, but if he asked him to find a way to deal with the Tartars, he would be too much of a thought.

The reason why he ran over to find Jiajing was just to shift the blame to this self-righteous fool!

Now that he has told Jiajing about the matter, Jiajing has taken the blame even more stupidly, so he naturally has nothing to worry about.

What should I do?

Very simple!

He pretended to ponder for a while, and then said perfunctorily: "For the sake of the present, he could only order the governor of Jizhou Yang Shun to organize troops, defend Zunhua, Jizhou, and Sanhe Lines, and try his best to hold the main force of the Tatars. At the same time, he told the world that all the troops would come quickly to serve the king. In this way, even if the Tatars ran to the capital, they would probably not get any benefits. The troops of the kings in various places would definitely make them fall into the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves. At that time, perhaps we can still eliminate the main force of the Tatars in one fell swoop."

What he said was almost like farting!

What is the organization of troops? To defend Zunhua, Jizhou, Sanhe Line and try to hold the main force of the Tartars, that is, to give up the Great Wall and let the Tartars go straight in.

As for the imperial edict to command the kings of all armies, is this also called a strategy? Is it an idiot? I can think of it?

However, Jiajing was a little nervous at this moment. In a hurry, he really didn't expect the imperial edict to order all armies to serve the king.

Yan Song said this, and his eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, let Yang Shun find a way to hold the main force of the Tatars as much as possible. At the same time, he ordered all armies to come to serve the king. In this way, the Tatars might have been scared away before they even reached the capital. Quick, hurry up, issue an order to order Yang Shun to organize his troops to guard the big and small cities on the front line of Jizhou Town, and at the same time announce the world, so that all armies will leave behind all matters and quickly come to the capital to serve the king!"

If he did this, under normal circumstances, it would be useless, because the Tartars were all cavalry, and they came and went like the wind. It took only one day to run from Jizhou Town to the capital, and the so-called large armies closest to the border troops in the three towns in Shanxi.

Under normal circumstances, it will take at least half a month for the border troops in the three towns to assemble. If they arrive in the capital, it will be at least twenty days later. When they arrive, the Tartars will probably have already snatched a fortune and whistled away.

However, the situation is quite abnormal at this moment, or in other words, some people are very abnormal.

For example, Qiu Luan is very abnormal. This guy is like Zhuge's rebirth, and he can predict the future!

Not only did he "expect" that the Tartars were about to attack Jizhou Town, but even the army to serve the king was ready. As soon as the Jiajing imperial edict was passed to Xuanfu Town, he shamelessly reported: Please don't be anxious. I have already expected that the Tartars might attack Jizhou Town, so I have led the army to this side. Within three days, I will definitely lead the army to Tongzhou to ensure that the capital is safe.

How could Jiajing know that this was a good show written, directed and acted by Qiu Luan!

The moment he received Qiu Luan's memorial, he almost jumped up excitedly. Now, with the elite border troops led by Qiu Luan, the Tartars would be unable to bear it. You know, Qiu Luan didn't know how many times he had "counted" with the main army of the Tartars. Every time the Tartars returned in a defeat, can this time be an exception?

If he really believed that Qiu Luan's ability to turn the tide as he did in history, he would be stupid.

Qiu Luan could not withstand Altan Khan. When he came, it was just like he hadn't. Even if he led a large army to Tongzhou, he could not stop the pace of the Tartar army. Altan Khan could still fight to the capital!

Fortunately, at this time, it is not the only weird thing that is abnormal. Yang Cong who traveled through time is even more abnormal than Qiu Luan.

Although Yang Cong did not expect the Tartars to attack Jizhou Town, he also discovered a clue through various news.

Qiu Luan not only gathered all the elite border troops in Datong Town and Taiyuan Town to Xuanfu Town, but even recruited all the elite border troops in Shaanxi. If it was okay, then it would be a ghost!

Since they have gathered tens of thousands of troops quietly and are preparing to cause trouble, he will also gather with them, that's right!

So, in the name of preparing for the Japanese pirates, he organized the Nanzhili Tunwei and opened a temporary camp next to the train station, practicing day and night, making it very exciting.

The elite border troops gathered by Qiu Luan was roughly about 40,000. He also summoned 40,000 people. In addition to the original 10,000 elite infantry under Tang Kekuan, he also summoned 30,000 elite troops in the Tunwei.

To be honest, he really doesn't know what Qiu Luan is going to do.

However, it was nothing to summon 30,000 elite troops in the Tunwei and practiced it. Anyway, he had money and Nanzhili did not lack food and grass. Summoning these elite troops in the Tunwei and practiced it was just a trivial matter for him.

If nothing happened, at worst, after a few months of training, the elite troops of the Tunwei were disbanded and returned to their hometowns, and he would lose a little food and salary.

If something really happens, he will directly lead these elite troops to the battlefield. Although the elite troops in the army are not very complete and there is no time to build muskets and cannons, it is better than nothing.

Unexpectedly, his plan to prepare for the future was really useful. The Tartars actually wanted to attack Jizhou Town and threaten the capital!

As soon as the Jiajing imperial edict was issued, the world was shocked. Everyone thought that this time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was probably in danger, because the capital of the Ming Dynasty had not been threatened by foreign enemies for more than a hundred years. At this moment, the capital had never heard of any standing troops!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty will encounter a great humiliation like the Tumu Fort Incident?
