These years of being the queen mother!

Well, this idea sounds good on the surface, but in fact the overall planning is still in Mingda's hands. After all, as the father-in-law, Comrade Xiong does not want Mingda or anyone else.

But on the bright side, it doesn't sound like Mingda's words are enough. Everyone else is in the officialdom, so it's fine to know it well.So as the imperial decree was issued in Liaodong, Mingda, with the full help of Comrade Lao Xiong, stepped up his military training, and at the same time built a fortified city and stepped up preparations to prevent Huang Taiji from a possible sneak attack!

It didn't take long for this day. In the first year of Tiancong, that is, in May of the seventh year of Tianqi, Huang Taiji decided to lead the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to attack Ming Dynasty after conquering the Joseon Dynasty.

After the victory of the Battle of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan became the governor of Ningyuan, in charge of the government affairs of Ningyuan, and was under the jurisdiction of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong Economic Strategy, and Mingda, the governor of Liaodong.He Mingda firmly believes that "we should fortify the wall and clear the country, move the people outside the pass back to create a vacuum, and prevent the possibility of supplying elite soldiers from the Eight Banners." land, to support Liao people with Liao soil.

Yuan Chonghuan's main combat faction believes that the most important thing they should do now is to build cities and farmland on a large scale to support the war.In view of Yuan Chonghuan's policy, which is not contrary to Yuan Chonghuan's policy of "building a strong city and stepping up preparations" issued by Zhu Youxiao himself, Mingda, under the instruction of Xiong Tingbi, simply sold Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge's old face and let go. Let Yuan Chonghuan do his best in Ningyuan.Then Mingda personally ordered the strengthening and expansion of Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Zhongzuo, Zhongqian, Youtun, Dalinghe and other castles outside the pass, mobilized soldiers and horses, enriched food and salaries, and raised more than 6 soldiers to guard the cities. He ordered Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ningyuan, to sit in Ningyuan himself, and Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Pingliao, to guard Jinzhou.In a short period of time, a "Ning Jin line of defense" was formed.

Not long after the Ningjin defense line was formed, Huang Taiji, who felt that the time was right to attack Ming Dynasty, brazenly launched an attack on the Ningjin land under the pretext that "the Ming Dynasty built cities in Jinzhou, Dalinghe, and Xiaolinghe, and had no sincerity in negotiating peace."

We must know that not only Hou Jin had hidden a large number of spies in Ming Dynasty, but also Daming sent many spies from Jin Yiwei to lurk in Hou Jin.Whether it's the front house or the backyard, or the place of the three religions, whether it's the servant who is trusted by the master, or the maidservant, or the ordinary peddler, the spies have a variety of identities. It can be said that there are only things you can't think of. less than.

No, as soon as Huang Taiji made the decision to attack Daming, Mingda received the news.Immediately let Man Gui and Sun Zushou move to Qiantun together, Comrade Lao Xiong (Xiong Tingbi) replaced Sun Zushou and moved to Shanhaiguan together with his eldest son Xiong Zhaogui, and Hei Yunlong and Ma Dengyun, who had a good relationship with Mingda, moved to Yiyishi together.

As for Jinzhou, he and Sun Chengzong personally sit in the town, with the deputy commander-in-chief Zuo Futong Jin Guoqi as the left wing, the deputy commander-in-chief Zhu Mei as the right wing, the commander-in-chief of Pingliao Zhao led the dispatch in the middle, and Jia Sheng led the strange soldiers to support the east and west. The eunuch Jiyong was stationed in Jinzhou.

The guarding eunuch Ji Yong was sent by Wei Zhongxian, he was usually trusted by Wei Zhongxian, and vaguely knew the real relationship between Dian Mingda and Wei Zhongxian.Therefore, after coming to Liaodong, he did not ask for bribes and recruit soldiers unscrupulously like in history. Instead, he was very obedient and put Mingda's orders first in everything.

Although Mingda is young now, under the leadership of Comrade Xiong, his military talents are not much better than civil officials who can only talk about military affairs on paper and boast.Under this series of arrangements, the attacking Houjin army can be described as having suffered heavy losses.Huang Taiji fought for nearly a month, but the rock-solid Ningyuan City still stood untouched.

Helpless, Huang Taiji had no choice but to show his exemption card, and summoned his confidant ministers in the camp to discuss countermeasures together.

"Master, we have spent more than 20 days here. We are short of people and food. If Man Gui and Zu Dashou refuse to fight and defend the city again, what should we do?" Continue to spend like this After all, according to the report from the outpost spies sent, not only the generation of Ningzhou, but even the small forts along the edge of Jinzhou all withdrew their troops, merged with the people into the big city, and once again implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and working together to defend against the enemy!

It is estimated that the attack on Ningzhou this time may return in vain. As for Jinzhou, it is likely...

Fan Wenchen sighed secretly, knelt down on the ground, and said with the image of a loyal dog slave like Huang Taiji: "Master, this slave suggests that we can bribe the guardian eunuch Ji, and let him take the lead so that Daming can take the initiative to negotiate peace with us." Things."

At this time, Fan Wenchen, a traitor, had already been accepted by Huang Taiji as a slave, so Fan Wenchen was still loyal to Huang Taiji, at least in terms of loyalty, he was much higher than Huang Taiji's Lao Tzu Ha Chi .

And out of the importance of talents, even though he didn't like Fan Wenchen's obsequiousness, Huang Taiji, who knew that he could be regarded as the chief think tank of Hou Jin, still listened to Fan Wenchen's words.

Huang Taiji also felt that it was not an option to fight like this, so he pondered for a moment, and said to Fan Wenchen. "You slave has a good idea, and the specific matters will be arranged by you."

Playing tricks and deception is the strong point of the Han people. They are not very good at this kind of tricks when they grew up on horseback, so let’s give it to Fan Wenchen, a dog slave who was born in Han but is loyal to him. Huang Taiji believes that Fan Wenchen will definitely handle this matter beautifully.

In history, it was true that Fan Wenchen bought Ji Yong, the guardian eunuch, with a lot of money, and then he took the lead and sent Zhao to teach relatives to the Houjin army camp to discuss peace, so Fan Wenchen's method is really good.It's just that this has almost become an empty Ming Dynasty.After the accident of Yang Lingyue and Mingda, the siblings, Ji Yong, who vaguely knew the real relationship between Mingda and Wei Zhongxian, even if he was greedy for money, how could he still have the guts to accept Fan Wen when Mingda repeatedly emphasized that "those who violate the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be punished" What about this traitor's silver?

Immediately, Ji Yong sprayed his saliva on the secret messenger's face, raised his orchid fingers, and said righteously: "How could my father-in-law do such a heinous thing for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver? Go home and tell your master. Father-in-law is not the kind of eunuch who sees money and ignores morals!" No wonder...

Ji Yong took another deep look at the "a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver note" reluctantly, and then he asked people to drag the stunned emissary out, so that he could not see it for nothing.

The secret envoy was thrown out, so he had to sneak back to the Houjin camp to report. He was looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling sorry for the "mere" tens of thousands of taels of silver bills that had slipped away from his hands, and an abrupt muffled laugh sounded behind him .

Ji Yong turned his head angrily, and when Xiongxin Baozi, who was about to scold whoever came from, dared to laugh at him, he suddenly found out that the person who came was Mingda who was supposed to discuss offensive and defensive issues with Sun Chengzong. : "Hey, Mr. Wei came to our house when you are free. Does the Governor have any other orders?"

"There are no other orders for the time being. It's just Eunuch Ji..." Mingda smiled slightly, and Ji Yong's eyes were almost dazzled by that glamorous appearance.

"What's the matter?" Ji Yong hurriedly asked hesitantly. He really couldn't figure out why Bai Mingda said that. After all, he didn't accept the money from the gold tartars.Thinking of the amount, Ji Yong's heart ached again, but he had to show his good quality of not being tempted by money.

Eunuch Ji pursed his lips in embarrassment, and asked Mingda who smiled but didn't answer again. "Mr. Wei, according to the relationship between the two of us, you can just tell me, there is something inappropriate about our family's actions just now."

"Eunuch Ji misunderstood. The kid didn't think there was any difference. The kid just regretted the "mere" tens of thousands of taels of bank notes. Eunuch Ji can accept it completely, but it's another matter if he doesn't follow through."

"Huh?" He actually forgot this...

Thinking of the glistening silver, Eunuch Ji Yong really cried this time, and wept secretly from the most beautiful and sad angle in the legend.Why didn't he think of this? He could just collect the money and do nothing. There was nothing he could do about Fan Wenchen's traitor and found out that he was being fooled.Oh, what a pity.

Just when Ji Yong was more worried about the "mere" tens of thousands of taels of silver that had slipped away from him, Mingda smiled and said: "Eunuch Ji, don't worry, I'm sure that thief Fan will never give up just like this, and will come again." Send someone to buy the father-in-law, and the amount is definitely much higher than this one."

Hearing this, Ji Yong's eyes lit up.Ji Yong, whose eyes were shining with the light of money, said with a smile on his face, "If Brother Ming really agrees, our family will use half of it as military funding, to show my father-in-law's patriotism."

Now, Mingda was really happy.It's a miracle that Ji Yong, who loves money so much, is willing to part with half of the things in his pockets.In order to maintain this miracle, Ming Da decided to write a letter to Wei Zhongxian to show his credit for him, let him continue to use his image to lure the golden tartar into the pit.But before that, Mingda has to discuss the follow-up matters with Ji Yong, and pull Yang Lingyue and the little prince Zhu Cilin to be tiger skins, and encourage Ji Yong to do a good job. After the Ningjin battle is over, let Yang Lingyue Personally recommended to Wei Zhongxian, let Ji Yong enter the post of Lijian.

To know what the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were most passionate about, in addition to yearning for the Second East and West Factory, they were the supervisors of ceremonies who were composed of the emperor's cronies and who were known as the emperor's (generation) pen.Hearing what Mingda said now, Ji Yong immediately joined Mingda's plan to pit Hou Jinyi with great enthusiasm, and drew inferences from one instance, and extorted tens of thousands of taels from the secret envoys sent by Fan Wenchen under various guises. Yinzi, in the end, had nothing to do, and Fan Wenchen, who was anxiously waiting for the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to enter the gold camp to discuss reconciliation so as to paralyze the army of the Ming Dynasty, was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!

"How dare the eunuch bully me!"
