North and South Tongzhou Tongnan
Things pawn shops
This is a perfect match for all ages, and anyone who has played with couplets knows it.
So, why is there a saying about Tongzhou in the north and south? Not to mention two Tongzhou on the map of later generations, it seems that there is not one Tongzhou.
In fact, this north and south Tongzhou has been around since the Tang and Song dynasties, but sometimes the place name has been changed.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was full of Tongzhou in the north and south. Nantongzhou was Tongzhou in Yangzhou Prefecture, located north of the estuary of the Yangtze River. Pirates and Japanese pirates often landed and robbed there. Northern Tongzhou, Tongzhou in Shuntian Prefecture, was located on the east side of the capital, next to Jizhou Town.
At this moment, the Northern Tongzhou was in panic and people were in panic because the Tartar army had already rushed to Jizhou more than a hundred miles away. If the Tartar army continued to move south, in less than a day, they would be able to reach Tongzhou!
In the Tongzhou Prefectural Office, the Governor of the Northwest, and the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning, were also scared and a little at a loss.
It was indeed his trick from Altan Khan. He lied to Altan Khan to come to seek a great achievement to defend the capital, but he did not want to fight Altan Khan, or he had never thought of fighting against the Tartars at all.
The reason why he cheated Altan Khan was just to use the troops near the Gyeonggi to scare people away? Who would have thought that the Jingying Tunwei, which is known as 500,000 households, had only gathered 50,000 troops now, and there was an inexplicable Yang Cong who ran over to compete with him for the position of command.
Damn it, what can I do?
This is completely different from what he imagined!
Originally, he thought that the Tartars had come and he was also. Jiajing was overjoyed and would definitely let him command all the people near the capital and drive the Tartars away. At that time, he would only summon 200,000 to 300,000 trunk guards and put them in that direction. The Tartars would be so scared that they would be pissed off.
Who would have thought that it would become like this now? I won’t say that Jingying Tunwei for the time being. Why did the Southeast Governor Yang Cong lead his army to serve the king so quickly? You know, Liaodong Town, which is only a thousand miles away from the capital, have no news yet!
Yang Cong's appearance really disrupted his overall plan. At this moment, he just wanted to kill this inexplicable guy.
He even did not hesitate to put down his face and shamelessly asked Yan Song for help, mobilized court officials, and impeached Yang Cong's misconduct.
If this guy hadn't been ill-intentioned, how could he have gathered 40,000 troops from Nanzhili to the capital in such a short time?
Unfortunately, Yan Song seemed to have been offended by him and ignored him at all.
He was really anxious. Altan Khan rushed to Jizhou City. What should I do?
He didn't have the courage to fight against Altan Khan. Even if he had 40,000 elite troops under his command, even if he occupied the city's advantage, he would not dare to fight against Altan Khan.
When Qian Donkey was exhausted, he could only use his old method and sent Shi Yi to the enemy camp to negotiate with Altan Khan. He hoped that Altan Khan would take it away when he saw the situation. After robbing 500,000 taels of supplies, he went back to Hetao.
Shi Yi was helpless. He really felt like he was on a pirate boat. In the past, when Xianning Hou Qiuluan sent money and food to Ji Nang or Altan Khan, he could comfort himself. That was for the sake of the fellow villagers in the border town. After all, once the fight with the Tartars, the people in the border town would suffer. This time, he could not comfort himself. Xianning Hou Qiuluan was simply tying the enemy and treasoning the country!
This guy actually tricked the Tartars into the vicinity of the capital to rob, and then personally led a large army to serve the king!
Damn it, you are so stupid, is Altan Khan so easy to fool? You come when you want others to come, and you leave when you want others to go. That's a dream, do you know?
He knew that it would be difficult to persuade Altan Khan to leave this time. At first glance, Altan Khan was the kind of ambitious person. Since he had rushed to Jizhou, he would not go to the capital and threaten the court to open a horse market. Can he easily withdraw it?
However, he had no choice but to take money and eliminate disasters with others. Who made him greedy for money? Over the years, he has taken over many benefits from the Xianning Hou Qiuluan. If he didn't go, Qiuluan would have to kill him.
Alas, sometimes, money that goes against your conscience cannot be made!
With a complicated mood, he rushed out of Tongzhou City under the escort of hundreds of Ganzhou elite cavalry and headed straight for Jizhou.
Of course, they used the guise to spy on the enemy's situation, and no one knew that he was going to negotiate with the Tartars.
As the saying goes, "If you don't know others, you will not do it yourself." If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. He thought that the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning had arranged all the arrangements, and no one knew even if he went to the enemy camp. He never thought that he had been starved by the generals of the Shanxi border army long ago.
As soon as he left the city, someone took out a telescope and stared at him tightly on an unknown mountain outside the city. Their more than a hundred riders had just run out for more than ten miles before they were met with a ghost.
As soon as they ran into a valley, hundreds of stairs suddenly appeared in front of them to block the way. Moreover, hundreds of stairs also appeared at the entrance of the valley, blocking the way out of the valley.
At first glance, these people are Shanxi Border Army. They are both chariots, spears, and muskets. They are all standard equipment for Shanxi Border Army. The border troops in other places do not have as good equipment as theirs.
Shi Yi did not come forward, but instead, the Qianmao who was escorting him, immediately came forward and shouted: "What are you doing? How dare you ambush us?"
Mr. Qian, who was leading the front, seemed a little impatient: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and throw away the weapon and surrender it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The Qiang General of Ganzhou Town, who was escorting him, was so angry that he smoked his orifices, and even Fang Yan came out: "Hungry thief, rebelled, and hungry, as if he had been ordered by the Governor to spy on the enemy's situation. Hurry up and let me open it."
The Qianmao on the opposite side also responded in a dialect without hesitation: "You are the first one of the hungry ones. If you don't get off the horse, I'll shoot you if you don't get off the horse."
After saying that, he raised his hand and ordered his men to prepare to fire.
Damn, this musket is not a joke. It’s useless to wear armor at such a close distance. As long as they aim at it, they can still make your face full of peach blossoms.
The Qiang President of Ganzhou Town finally became timid. He raised his hand to ask everyone to get off the horse first. Then he walked forward with a smile on his face and said kindly: "Brother, don't get me wrong. We really went to spy on the order of the Governor to spy on the enemy's situation."
The Qian Prime Minister of Datong Town ignored him and raised his hand and said, "Go, tie them all up. Whoever dares to resist will kill you!"
Damn, what's going on?
Not to mention the leader of the Qianzong of Ganzhou Town, even Shi Yi was kept in the dark.
These people seem to know nothing, but they just tied them up unreasonably.
In fact, they all thought it wrong, and these people actually know everything!
There is a reason why these people don’t say anything.
