Daming Junior Scholar

And that Aduer, maybe all of this is his fault, where did the 20 taels of silver come from, he is clearly afraid of death.

The more Zhengde thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Go and bring Aduer in for me."

No one dared to provoke Zhengde who was in a fit of anger. Soon, Adul, who was trembling all over, was brought in. After kneeling on the ground, Zhengde asked murderously: "Adul, let me ask you, what about the 20 taels?" What about silver?"

Ever since he found out that the 20 taels of silver were missing, Aduer seemed to have realized his tragic ending. After listening to Zhengde's words, Aduer tried to calm down his emotions, and said carefully: "Go back to the emperor, the guilty minister!" I really don't know where the silver is, but the guilty minister still has a way, and he can definitely get the 20 taels of silver to the emperor."

"Oh?" Zhengde was taken aback, and asked with his eyes wide open, "What else can I do? Tell me quickly."

It's about his own life, and Aduer doesn't care if there is such a possibility, anyway, he can delay it for a while, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister can write a letter to my father, and he will definitely bring 20 yuan. Two denarii to redeem me."

Uh?

This method sounds like a possibility, the expression on Zhengde's face suddenly hesitated, now there are only two ways to go, the first is to kill Aduer immediately, this is also a way to improve morale , but it doesn't do any good to your hair.

The second is to listen to Adul and ask him to write a letter to his father. His father is the prince of the Wanggu tribe. Since he has so much silver in Datong, he will only have more money in the Wanggu tribe. It is also a good idea to ask him to redeem Aduer with silver. Although he released an Aduer at that time, he will get more benefits.

It's just that there are problems here, the key is how is this Adul's position in the Wanggu tribe?If he is a character that his grandmother doesn't know well and his uncle doesn't love, then I'm wasting my time with him by doing this.

Just when Zhengde was thinking, He Jiaan below suddenly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I really think that you can consider a little bit about the words of Prince Adul."

Uh?

At such a critical moment, I didn't expect that the person who spoke for me was actually the one who arrested me. Although I didn't have a good impression of him, at this moment, Aduer still felt a little grateful in his heart.

Zhengde asked curiously: "What does He Aiqing think, but it doesn't matter."

You can say it, but it seems a little too cruel to say it in front of this young prince. He Jiaan turned to look at Aduer, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, some things are best said by me and you." It's better to speak alone."

Zhengde blinked, and immediately understood, waved his hand and said, "Take Aduer down first."

Adul understood that the next conversation between the two people would determine whether his life would end here, and he shouted as he walked, "Your Majesty, trust me, my father will definitely send the silver."

The person was quickly dragged down, and Zhengde asked: "It's time to talk now."

He Jiaan said sternly: "Your Majesty, Adul is just the little prince of the Wanggu tribe. Putting him to death hastily gave the Wanggu tribe an excuse to start a war. Although our Ming Dynasty is not afraid of going to war with them, this kind of senseless It’s better to fight less wars.”

"So, what does He Aiqing mean to release him?" Zhengde's expression was a little stiff.

"Of course not." He Jia'an shook his head, but said affirmatively instead: "I think this is a good opportunity for His Majesty to make great achievements."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Hearing the words "Unrivaled Merit", Zhengde's heart suddenly became itchy, and he asked curiously.

After a pause, He Jiaan said: "Adul's letter must be sent out. When the time comes, as long as the prince of the Wanggu Department receives this letter, he will definitely react. First, put the letter Put it aside and ignore it, the second thing is to bring money to Datong to redeem his son, but I thought that if the minister wanted to come, the prince of the Wanggu Department would probably choose neither of them."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhengde was taken aback for a moment, looking at He Jiaan in confusion.

"From my point of view, the Wang Gu Department will definitely send troops to Datong, nominally coercing Daming to release Aduer, but actually using this opportunity to seek some practical benefits."

"According to what you mean, they want to fight?" When he heard that war might come to Datong, the expression on Zhengde's face not only did not panic, but became more excited. One of the purposes of coming to Datong was to think During the war, I thought that I would not encounter such a good thing, but I didn't expect that a pool of calm water would be disturbed immediately because of an Abdul.

"I'm just giving Your Majesty a reference, and His Majesty has to decide what to do." After He Jia'an finished speaking, he returned to his original position.

"Well." Zhengde nodded slowly. Although He Jiaan didn't say much, the temptation to him was amazing. In addition, the current Datong city is full of soldiers and food, let alone a The Wanggu tribe, even if all the tribes of Tatar are added together, Zhengde has the confidence to fight against it.

Thinking of this, Zhengde immediately confirmed his thoughts, and directly ordered: "Zhang Yong."

"The slave is here."

"Let Adul write a letter to his father immediately to raise money, and then quickly summon all the generals, I have something to order."

All of a sudden, the whole of Datong became busy again. Wei Xishan, who was summoned again, looked surprised. He didn't understand why he summoned himself here again. It couldn't be that the money theft was exposed, right?

So after arriving here, the expression on my face became a lot more nervous. When I saw He Jiaan, I immediately greeted him as if I had found the backbone, and asked in a low voice: "Brother He, what happened?" ?not……"

He Jiaan shook his head, but only replied Wei Xishan with four words: "There is going to be a war."

Chapter 1045 The rain is coming

Chapter 1045 The rain is coming

"fight?"

It's not that Wei Xishan has never heard of this word, but after all, he has never personally experienced war. Every time he sits in his warm and bright room and looks at the documents handed in by his subordinates. The dizzying numbers, how much silver, food, grass, and pensions are spent in a battle, all of which can be turned into real silver through one's own hands.

But it was the first time for me to be so close to the battlefield. Immediately thinking of the almost terrifying casualties in every battle, Wei Xishan couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. He pulled He Jia'an in fear and said, "Brother He, are you People who have led soldiers, if there is a real fight, you must protect me."

Seeing the terrified expression on Wei Xishan's face, He Jiaan almost burst out laughing, looked around, and said softly, "Brother Wei, don't worry, you don't even think about it, how many people are there in the Wanggu Department? How many soldiers, we have 10,000 troops in the Datong city of Damingguang, plus the three major battalions in Beijing, there are [-]+ people anyway, isn’t it a piece of cake to deal with a Wanggu tribe.”

Hearing what He Jiaan said, the expression on Wei Xishan's face finally relaxed a little. Even so, he still said cautiously: "If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, my brother's safety will be in my brother's hands."

He Jiaan gave Wei Xishan a reassuring look. Thinking about it, this kind of danger is impossible. The Datong city wall is so tall, plus Zhengde personally sits in the town, and there are 10,000+ elite guards. If such a configuration can put Wei Xishan in If they are in danger, the three major battalions of the capital might as well just die.

Finally, everyone was called together. With sharp eyes, He Jiaan caught a glimpse of Jiang Bin coming out from behind with Zhengde. This kid is fast enough. I haven't seen him just now. I don't know when he will run away. went to the back.

Just as He Jiaan was staring at Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin also saw He Jiaan, and the two of them stared at each other for a while, then Jiang Bin suddenly nodded at He Jiaan, as a greeting.

Hey, did the sun come out from the west, or did this kid burn himself out with a fever, why did he say hello to himself?

Just when He Jiaan was full of doubts, Zhengde finally spoke. Not surprisingly, he almost copied He Jiaan's idea just now, and used Aduer's letter to attract people from the Wanggu Department. Eliminate all the people in the Wangu tribe.

The strategy is a good strategy, but the next problem is that there must be a general to lead such a big battle. He Jiaan is very optimistic about Zhang Youxiao, the current general of Datong. Clearly, where to set up an ambush, where to hide soldiers, he might be able to tell these things with his eyes closed, but the next move by Zhengde made He Jia'an dumbfounded, Jiang Bin was actually recommended by Zhengde.

What a joke, Jiang Bin was just a guerrilla when he was in Datong. Commanding 10,000+ people to fight and killing He Jiaan, he himself did not believe that Jiang Bin had this ability.

Although there are not a few people who have the same idea as him, everyone, look at me and I look at you, because of Zhengde's face, they dare not speak out rashly. Zhengde waited for a while and found that everyone did not send the right message When I had an opinion, I couldn't help showing a smug smile on my face, and then said: "Since all the Aiqings have no other opinions, then this matter is settled. From today on, all the troops in Datong City belong to Jiang Aiqing. Jurisdiction, ready to compete with Wang Gu's tribe."

"How can this be? Jiang Bin used to be just a small guerrilla, but now he actually entrusts the life and death of a 10,000+ army to him. Isn't the emperor just playing with the country?"

Finally returned to the big camp outside the city. After Wei Xishan and He Jiaan entered the big tent, they immediately complained loudly, but He Jiaan, who was stretching out his hands to warm himself, looked up at him, and said slowly: "Brother Wei thinks that you think so." How many people will there be?"

"Uh..." The expression on Wei Xishan's face paused, and then he said with some uncertainty: "Although this is not sure, but I can see the expressions on these people's faces, no matter what, there must be more than half of it."

"So, so many people know that the emperor's handling of this matter is a bit inappropriate, but why didn't anyone speak up to dissuade him?"

Hearing He Jiaan's words, Wei Xishan quite agreed. After thinking about it carefully, he finally sighed and squatted down beside He Jiaan, complaining in a low voice, "It's not because I'm afraid of offending Jiang Bin."

Anyone can understand such a simple truth. Everyone knows that the current Jiang Bin is the number one celebrity in the Ming Dynasty. Opposing him is no different from opposing the emperor, so He Jiaan smiled and said: "Since Big Brother Wei is in his heart It's very clear, then let's be honest, after this battle is over, you will be your servant of the household department, and I will be my Daxing county magistrate. .”

Well, Wei Xishan nodded, and felt that what He Jiaan said was quite reasonable. At this moment, he finally felt better, and suddenly thought of the money brought back, he asked carefully, "Brother He, those money..."

"Brother Wei, don't worry, it has been put in a safe place, and we will take the silver back when the army returns to the capital."

Hearing that the money was fine, Wei Xishan finally felt relieved, and when the two of them were hiding in the big tent and thinking about how to spend the money when they went back, a fast horse flew out of Datong City and went straight to the grassland Run in the direction where Wang Gubu is.

The heavy snow has arrived, and the herdsmen on the grassland have reached the most difficult season of the year. Every household is carefully calculating whether the fodder hoarded at home is enough. If it is not enough, they may have to kill a few more sheep this year. Yes, but this sheep is the lifeline of the grassland herdsmen, and killing one more sheep means that next year's life may become more difficult.

These are the lives of the people on the grassland, but everyone knows a way to change their lives, and that is to go to the Ming Dynasty to plunder.
