"It's the Waqi tribe, the Waqi cavalry is coming!"

The Tatar cavalry escorting the "Nine White Dagong" mission had discovered at this moment that the other party was not some Ming army coming to meet them, but on the contrary, it was the Wasac cavalry who was preparing to rob and kill the mission.

Then various warning shouts sounded one after another, and the bleak north wind was full of chilling meaning.

The general who led the cavalry of the Wasac tribe was Boyan Timur, the younger brother of Grand Master Wasac. When he learned that the mighty Mongolian Dai Commander-in-Chief Khan had taken off his clothes, in order to obtain mutual trade and tribute quota from the Ming Dynasty, he actually

Surrendering to the Han Dynasty is simply a sign of anger.

Any Mongolian tribe can crawl at the feet of the Ming emperor alone, including the grand master of the Wasac tribe, but Tuotuo Buhua of the Tatar tribe cannot!

His identity as the Great Khan of Mongolia symbolizes the honor of the Golden Family's bloodline and the pride of the descendants of the Immortal Emperor.

I've knelt down, but it's impossible to stand up again!

In addition, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua escorted the newly established crown prince Meng Ke to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to become a hostage.

There is no doubt that his plan to kill someone with a borrowed sword was obvious. However, the Grand Master also usurped the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia first, which was one of the most important bargaining chips to truly control the entire Mongolian tribes.

If he falls into the hands of the Han people, it means that the Ming Dynasty controls the legal system passed down by the Mongolian Khan. If Tuo Tuo Bu Hua encounters any mishap, he can push Meng Ke out to "hijack the emperor to order the princes."

This trick was originally intended to be used by the Grand Master himself, so how could it be possible to make a wedding dress for Ming Dynasty?

"The descendants of Changshengtian will never kneel down to barbarians!"

"Kill all these cowards and take back the crown prince!"

"The grassland will always belong to the Mongols!"

Roaring one after another, the blood of the Waqi cavalry felt humiliated, and the charging formation was as powerful as a sharp knife, rushing into the Tatar cavalry camp.

The sudden attack left the Tatar guards unprepared. In addition, Meng Ke burst out and shouted: "Tatars, you are willing to become the slaves of the Han people, and you are willing to let Mongolia become the slaves of the Han people."

A vassal of the Ming Kingdom?"

"I will never accept this humiliating Jiubai Dagong. I would rather die than be used as a hostage!"

"The eagles on the grassland soar in the sky. The Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty will always be the pasture of Mongolia. Let us take up arms and fight against the outside world in unison instead of killing each other here!"

For the Tatar soldiers at the bottom, they were not aware of the power struggle at the top, let alone the seemingly wise and powerful Taishi, but in fact they were already preparing to take off the Mongolian Khan without spending much time sharpening their swords.

What they could see was that the Great Khan whom they respected was in an advantageous situation when the Mongol cavalry reached the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but suddenly he chose to negotiate a peace treaty and surrender to the Ming Emperor, giving up the pride and dignity of being the Great Khan of the Mongolia.

Maybe under normal circumstances, even if you are dissatisfied and aggrieved, you can only obey the orders of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua. But now there are Tatar troops heading outside and the Crown Prince calling for giving up resistance inside, so there is no fighting spirit.

The Tatar cavalry resisted the anger and instantly collapsed.

Only the Mongolian envoy Temur and the escorting cavalry commander Mandu Latu still did not put down their swords.

"Washi is preparing to attack us, and we must convey the news to the Great Khan!"

Temur is very aware of the current crisis that the Tatar tribe is suffering. The Wasac tribe, which has experienced a break after the Liaodong War, has gradually restored its former strength, and it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch other Mongolian tribes grow.

The robbery of the Tatar mission now is equivalent to a public signal of betrayal.

"There are hundreds of miles to go back to the Khan Court, and we can't escape in the vast snow!"

Commander Mandu Latu was a member of the Qixue Army. They were the most loyal guards and personal troops of the Mongolian Khan. It was absolutely impossible to believe the lies that the Wasac tribe unanimously told the outside world.

"This is not far from the border of Datong, so we can only continue to the Ming Dynasty."

"Take the Crown Prince to break out!"

Being able to serve as an envoy minister requires a good mind. Temur immediately thought of a way to deal with it. The Ming Dynasty's border fort defense line could block the pursuit of the Waqi cavalry.

"Okay, let's go to Datong!"

Mandu Latu made a quick decision and called on his cronies who were also members of Qie Xue's army to rush towards Crown Prince Meng Ke.

It doesn't matter what kind of auspicious tributes there are. As long as the Crown Prince Meng Ke doesn't fall into Ye Xian's hands, he can't find any reason to make the Mongolian tribes surrender and act openly as the "regent"!

When they saw Temur and Mandu Latu, they were still loyal to the Great Khan Totuo Buhua and had no intention of laying down their weapons and surrendering. On the contrary, they wanted to take them to the military town of Datong in the Ming Dynasty.

Meng Ke did not hesitate to pull out the sword from his waist, pointed it at Mandu Latu and shouted: "I am the crown prince of Mongolia, and I will never be the hostage of the Ming Dynasty. Are you planning to rebel?"

At this moment, Meng Ke had made up his mind. Even if he sought refuge with his uncle first, he would not return to the Tatar tribe to face the cowardly father Khan, nor would he go to the Ming Dynasty to be a hostage.

"Prince, this is the Khan's order!"

Mandu Latu's face was full of anxiety. The Waqi Cavalry was already close to Chi Chi, and if Meng Ke didn't follow him and others to break through, they would never be able to leave.

"Only a brave man is worthy of becoming the Great Khan of the Mongols!"

Hearing these words from Meng Ke's mouth, Mandu Latu's expression changed instantly. This was the real disobedience.

But after all, the opponent was the crown prince, and Mandu Latu did not have the courage to take a heavy blow. Seeing that the Waqi cavalry was about to complete the encirclement, the envoy Temur shouted: "Time can't wait, let's break through the encirclement and go to the Ming Dynasty first!"

"

The biggest strategic goal of the Tatars in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is not to kill people with a borrowed knife, but to establish an alliance to fight against the annexation of the Wasani tribe. Regardless of the existence of the Mengke proton, they must reach an "alliance" with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible

, in this way you can get a powerful helper and reinforcements.

"Yes, Ambassador!"

Mandu Latu also understood that in this situation, it was almost impossible to quickly capture Mengke without any bloodshed. So he ordered his cronies, together with Temur and other Tatar envoy officials, to plan

The horse galloped in the direction of Datong Military Town.

As long as the flag of the Ming army could be seen, the pursuers of Wachi had no choice but to give up the pursuit. Maybe Mandu Latu never dreamed that one day he would need to rely on the enemy for protection.

Two teams of men and horses galloped in the snow, and there was a fiery red flag outside the Datong Military Town. The guards of the capital were rewarded for their merits after the war. Guo Deng succeeded Liu An, the Marquis of Guangning, as the new Datong Commander-in-Chief, and was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army.

The position of governor has officially entered the ranks of first-class military positions.

Since the rise of the Wasi tribe, the number of Mongolian tribute missions has increased day by day, sometimes reaching 2,000 to 3,000 people.

In order to ensure that the tributary mission remained safe and secure, and at the same time to demonstrate the power of the Ming Dynasty, the escorting Ming army team also became larger and larger. Before the Tumubao Incident, thousands of border troops were needed to connect with the Mongolian mission, and the leaders were even more involved.

will level.

This time it was Mongolia's most ceremonial "Nine White Tribute", and the crown prince Meng Ke was sent as a proton, so Datong's general general Guo Deng went out of the city to greet him personally to express the Ming Dynasty's solemnity and importance.

After waiting for a long time in the wind and snow, a large number of people finally appeared in the distance. However, Guo Deng, who had lived at the border for a long time, soon realized that something was wrong. The Tatar delegation in front was galloping.

According to common sense, the Tatar envoy traveled hundreds of miles to the military town of Datong, and was in a state of straitened people and horses. In addition, even if the Tatars were uneducated, they still understood basic envoy etiquette. How could they gallop forward when they arrived?

The truth?

As the opponent got closer and closer, Guo Deng could clearly see that the black figure of the group of men and horses was divided into two camps. The twenty riders in the front were fleeing, and the hundreds of riders behind were in pursuit.

"Form up, enemy attack!"

In the blink of an eye, Guo Deng shouted a battle slogan. The Datong frontier troops were battle-hardened and were the elite among the elites of the Ming Dynasty.

Even before they could react to what was happening, after hearing Shangguan's slogan of enemy attack, they immediately drew out their weapons. The Ming cavalry standing aside, conserving their power, got on their horses and got ready to charge.

"I am Temur, the Mongolian envoy. The Watsa tribe conspired to rebel, robbed and killed the Tatar tribute mission, and I hope the Ming Dynasty defenders will give me a helping hand!"

Temur can serve as a tribute envoy, so he must be proficient in Chinese culture. Seeing the Ming Datong garrison in front of him, he introduced his identity and current situation in the most concise and direct language, and fought for the tribute envoy.

Chance of rescue.

"Wu Yun, lead the troops to meet the enemy and stop the Tartars!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Deng ordered the lieutenant beside him that the submission of the Tatars' submission to the throne was a major matter for the country, and he must not let the tribute mission be destroyed in front of his eyes.

This would not only destroy Shen Yichen's plan to unite the vertical and horizontal alliances, but also damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty in front of the vassals all over the world.

Even if the tribute envoys were robbed and killed, who would dare to submit to the Ming Dynasty in the future?

"The last general takes command!"

The loud bugle sounded, and thousands of Ming cavalrymen raised their sabers high and faced Wac's pursuers.

If we say what was the biggest historical change that Shen Yichen brought about in the Battle of Tumu Fort and the subsequent battle to defend the capital, it was not actually about changing the direction of victory or defeat, or drastically reducing casualties in defeat.

The real change is morale and people’s hearts!

Whether it was the 10th Battalion of the Capital, or the Liaodong Xuanda border army, or even the troops returning to support the Dunan Expeditionary Army. No one showed weakness or fear towards the Mongols after the disastrous defeat in Tumubao.

Huben of the Ming Army always firmly believed that the defeat in the Battle of Tumubao was temporary, and the vast northern Xinjiang grasslands did not belong to the Mongols.

Ming Dynasty is the ruler of this world!

Especially when the Tatar tribe chose to surrender, the decline of the defeat was wiped out.

Facts have proved that under the sky, it is the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is the king's ministers!

An encounter that surprised everyone was taking place on the border of Datong. At the same time, the imperial prison in the capital was immersed in the rare tenderness of Shen Yichen, but was interrupted by an "uninvited guest" from embracing Chen Qingtong.

Zhu Yi, the eldest son of Duke Cheng Guo, did not know when he appeared outside the cell door. After seeing the intimacy between Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong, he could only stand outside the door and cough twice as a reminder.

Hearing the sound of coughing coming from behind, Chen Qingtong subconsciously pushed Shen Yichen away due to the restraint brought by long-term etiquette education, and then looked back in panic. After discovering that it was the eldest son Zhu Yi, the shyness in his heart subsided.

A little, but her cheeks are still blushing.

Compared to Chen Qingtong's nervousness, Shen Yichen seemed very calm. What's wrong with a hug between husband and wife? When he becomes the most powerful person in the world, sooner or later he will have to take advantage of the rotten Cheng Zhuli.

Of course, I can only think about this kind of thing now. With Zhu Yi's character of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, if he can appear in the imperial prison, he must have something to discuss with him.

"Master, you are here."

"Um."
