358 Into the Enemy Camp (2 in 1)(1/2)

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Li Da, who was leading the army in the front, immediately rushed to look at the Watshu Army camp in the distance and roared.

He knew the danger of Chen Yichen's mission to the enemy camp, so he led the army out of the city, on the one hand to cheer for the general, and on the other hand to let the Mongolian Tartars see that even if you are strong and powerful, the Ming army still has the courage to fight against the city!

Even Li Da had made the worst plan, and even if the Grand Master dared to be unfavorable to Chen Yichen, he would definitely lead the ten thousand soldiers under his command to raid the enemy camp and bring Chen Yichen back to the capital safely!

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The ten thousand Ming soldiers outside Xizhimen also shouted the battle number belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yu Qian set up the "Tenth Battalion Regiment" and reorganized the Beijing camp and reinforcements from various places, the division was still dominated by Fujian and Shandong garrison troops.

These soldiers from the garrison followed Chen Yichen to help thousands of miles away, fighting bloody battles with the Mongolian cavalry outside the frontier, and had long been mentally prepared to advance and retreat together with life and death.

There was no need for any pre-war mobilization or any material rewards. Just as Li Da gave the order, they stepped out of the city gate with high fighting spirit.

The courage to burn the boat may be needed by other large troops, but Chen Yichen's subordinates do not!

The thunderous battle roar resounded throughout the capital. Even the brothers who were stationed in the other nine gates heard the heroic roars and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Brothers, has the war started in the capital?"

"It's not about starting a war, but about Minister Chen going to the enemy camp to discuss peace, and the robes of Xizhimen left the city and sent them respectfully."

When he heard the conversation between the soldiers beside him, the soldiers under Yuan Chenyichen, who were scattered to the other eight sects, became excited instantly.

"Isn't it a lot of crisis to go on a mission before the war? I just regret that I did not divide it into Xizhimen of Minister Chen, otherwise I would have been escorted out of the city!"

"And I! I have never been afraid of Tartars on the grassland after following Mr. Chen. Are I still afraid of them now?"

"As long as Minister Chen gives the order, I will immediately take my men and horses to kill him!"

The angry voices of the soldiers were even conveyed to Deshengmen where Yu Qian was stationed, but he felt a little complicated when he heard it, and he was mixed with joy and sorrow.

What I was happy about was that the garrison army in the capital was high in morale and was not as timid or cringe as the enemy was at the city, which was somewhat beyond Yu Qian's best expectations before the war.

What is worried about is that Chen Yichen's influence in the capital army did not weaken after being reorganized into the "10th Regiment Battalion". Moreover, looking at this posture, it is even more important than before.

You should know that there are two main reasons for Yu Qian to reorganize the garrison troops in the capital. The first point is naturally to better defend the nine gates of the capital so that the defense forces of each gate will not be unbalanced and the Tartars will find a breakthrough in their weak points.

Another point is that in fact, Yu Qian is implementing the decision to weaken Chen Yichen's military power.

The 200,000 garrison army in the capital, Chen Yichen held half of the country. Even if he did not consider any factors that threatened the royal family, he would inevitably weaken and suppress it from the perspective of his family, country and the world.

Otherwise, if you go further, no one can guarantee whether Chen Yichen will forget his original intention and do anything traitorous.

The way of balance is always the most basic operating rules in the officialdom.

Yu Qian's approach of not being favored by selfishness and always considering issues from the perspective of family, country and the world is lucky for the people and the country. It is rare for such a good official to appear in the world, but for him personally, he is destined to have a tragic fate in the future.

It’s like Shi Heng, in history, was grateful for the kindness he recommended to Qian, and after the Battle of the Capital, he thought of repaying his kindness. But Yu Qian was a man who was upright and upright, and he didn’t care about anything he had with money, wine and sex. He didn’t know what to give him any gifts.

So Shi Heng thought about it and focused his attention on Yu Qian's son Yu Mian, and submitted a memorial to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu to recommend him as an official.

I thought this was a good thing, but I didn't expect that Yu Qianyi's righteous refusal in the court also scolded the emperor and the ministers in front of the emperor: "As a general of the court, Shi Heng did not recommend talents and promoted meritorious soldiers, but instead followed his personal feelings to recommend my son."

"This is an act of harming the country and the people, and should be punished!"

After the Battle of the Capital, Shi Heng was already granted the title of Marquis of Wuqing for his military merits. As a result, he never expected that his actions of repaying his kindness would be "slapped in public" by Yu Qian without any face.

After this incident, Shi Heng and Yu Qiang broke up their righteousness, and later succeeded in the transition from the door to further retaliate against the false accusation, directing the biggest injustice in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

History has changed, Yu Qian is still the one Yu Qian. Even if Chen Yichen once had kindness to him, he would limit the other party's military power for the sake of the country's stability.

But judging from the results, it seems to be of no help.

Accompanied by the Ming soldiers' shouts, Chen Yichen, under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, led a peace delegation to the camp of the Mongolian army.

The Mongolian army at this time was indeed very different from what Chen Yichen saw at Tumu Fort. They were wearing the same standard armor as the Ming army and only added some fur decorations outside, which further highlighted the characteristics of the nomadic peoples in the grassland.

The guards of the Watsai tribe were stationed in the core military camp. Compared with the ordinary Mongolians, they looked more burly and strong. However, the Fujian miners such as Cang Huotou were all selected from tens of thousands of strong people, and their bodies were not inferior to those of the other party in terms of size.

The soldiers on both sides deliberately raised their heads and chests, unwilling to show weakness in front of the enemy!

Looking at Chen Yichen who was walking step by step, many Mongolian soldiers showed an unexpected look in their eyes.

They never expected that the top scholar in Ming Dynasty, who once led his army to fight with them and others in Tumu Fort, was so young and gentle, and he had no stereotypes of the general's appearance.

However, as Chen Yichen gradually approached, they felt the murderous aura of this top scholar in the Ming Kingdom, which was completely different from that of a weak scholar. This was the sharp fighting spirit that only military generals who had seen blood on the battlefield can have!

No wonder it is indeed unique to resist the attack of the Mongolian cavalry on the grassland.

Walking in the enemy camp, the peace delegation and his group soon arrived in front of the Mongolian Khan's tent.

After the curtain was opened, the first thing that caught my eyes was the Mongolian Khan sitting in the center of the main seat.

However, Chen Yichen's eyes did not stop too much on Tuotuobuhua, but looked at a burly middle-aged man beside him. Even if he had never seen him before, he didn't know the other party's identity. Just the heroic aura that was revealed from his body, Chen Yichen could guess who the other party was.

He is the leader of the Wasai tribe, the de facto supreme ruler in Mongolia, and the Taishi Yesen!

"Why don't the envoy of the Ming Kingdom worship me when I see my Emperor Dayuan?"

Agula, the Mongolian governor standing under the steps of Khan's position, shouted angrily at Chen Yichen, trying to give him a warning first.

Hearing this, Chen Yichen showed a contemptuous smile on his lips, and then walked to the center of the sweat tent.

"In the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty conquered the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty had already destroyed the country. How could the emperor say that he had?"

"On the contrary, my Ming Dynasty followed the will of heaven and inherited the title of Emperor of the Central Plains. All the three Mongolian tribes were my Ming ministers."

"The envoy of the superior country will not worship the lord of the lower country! On the contrary, you should worship my wise monarch to the south with the courtesy of his ministers!"

Chen Yichen's loud and vocal words made the Mongolians present look extremely ugly in an instant.

They not only did not have the title of Emperor Dayuan, but even the title of Emperor Northern Yuan who claimed to have been killed after fleeing back to the grassland. As Yuan Minzong was killed, they were removed from their emperor title and could only be called the Great Khan of the Mongolian.

Now a puppet Khan Tuotuo Buhua dares to present the Yuan Emperor's signature in front of him. Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy the country and lose the Central Plains Emperor's legacy?

"It's so presumptuous that I dare to let my Mongolian Khan worship you barbarian emperor from afar, it's simply seeking death!"

Agula was furious in an instant. This envoy of the Ming Kingdom was extremely rampant. Now that the army has already arrived at the capital, the Supreme Emperor has become a prisoner of his subordinates. How dare he ask his Khan to perform his ministerial rituals?

"Didn't you call yourself the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty just now? Why is it called the Mongolian Khan now?"

Chen Yichen laughed at me, probably because Mongolia hadn't used the title of Emperor Yuan for too long, and habitually called out the Mongolian Khan again.

Realizing that he had let go, Agula was embarrassed and annoyed, and her face immediately turned into a pig's liver.

Then he pretended to be tough and replied: "What's the matter with you barbarians? Believe it or not, you will cut you down with one knife!"

After saying that, Agula looked fierce and walked towards Chen Yichen with a knife.

Almost at the same time, Canghuoto stood behind Chen Yichen, pulled out the steel knife from his waist with a "brush" and roared: "Who dares to touch my boss? Believe it or not, I will let him splatter blood on the spot!"

Perhaps seeing Chen Yichen enter the camp with only a few guards, and the Mongols had the confidence of a winner, they did not ask Cang Huotou and others to take the knife, which led to a situation of war.

Yang Shan, the deputy envoy standing behind Chen Yichen, was speechless when he saw this scene.

You should know that the purpose of this mission is a peace talk. Now I just met and used a knife and a gun. How can I talk later?

I used to hear people say that before Chen Yichen left the town, he was unscrupulous in the capital, and even the eunuch Wang Zhen dared to force him. After contacting him, he found that the rumors were not true. The other party was very polite and respectful, and there was no sign of youthful frivolity at all.

Now it seems that the rumors may be true. Chen Yichen is really unwilling to let him go into the enemy camp...

Faced with this scene filled with gunpowder, Chen Yichen's face was always Yun Danfeng Qing, and instead looked at Taishi Yesen with a playful look.

A dignified Mongolian hero uses this trick to test himself, is the method of being too low-end?

"Enough Agula, you must not be rude to the Ming Kingdom."

After all, he spoke up to stop the situation from deteriorating. At the same time, Chen Yichen was also wrong. As the overlord of the grasslands that crisscross the north of the desert, he really disdained to use such small means.

"Canghuoto, put away the knife."

Chen Yichen is not a naughty person. Since the Grand Master has given him a step forward, he has to take this face.

"Mr. Chen, although it was the first time we met, I have been with you for a long time."

He also walked to Chen Yichen first with a faint smile on his face. To be honest, he was very interested in this top scholar in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the defeat of Tumu Fort, this young man could stabilize the situation and gather the defeated Ming Dynasty army to retreat safely to Huailai City, which was far beyond the limit of the ability of normal civil officials.

"Tai Shi, seriously, it seems that this is not the first time we have met."

Chen Yichen replied with a smile. He had seen the commanding flag in the main formation of the Watshu Army on the Tumu Fort battlefield from afar, and I believe Yexian had also looked at his "Shen" flag.

"It seems that's true."

I also understood what Chen Yichen wanted to say. Both sides had already looked at each other from afar on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Taishi Yexian was as happy to talk to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty as if he had seen an old friend, Tuotuobuhua felt a sense of contempt.

He was the Great Khan of Mongolia and the ruler of the territory of thousands of miles north of the desert. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty chose to ignore the dialogue with the Mongolian Grand Master. Did he really not take his own Khan seriously?

"The envoy of the Ming Kingdom, there is no need to say anything else. Ben Khan just wants to ask how much money can he take out and redeem your Supreme Emperor."

Now the Mongols have basically recognized a reality, that is, as King Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, it was a delusion to call the opening of the capital city gate.

If that is the case, then let Zhu Qizhen in his hand play the greatest value and constantly ask for ransoms from the Ming Kingdom. I believe that with the vast land and wealth of the Central Plains dynasty, I should be willing to pay the money to buy the safety of their Supreme Emperor.

Want money?

When Chen Yichen heard Tuotuobuhua's question, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
