The eunuch had already left in a hurry after hearing Liu Jian's orders.

Liu Jian was still in the cabinet, his eyes were a little irritable and anxious. Several Hanlins who were on duty had been woken up in the middle of the night. At this time, they were all so arrogant that they stood in the corner waiting for their orders.

Liu Jian held his hands behind his back and looked up at the darkness outside the cabinet. After a while, he calmed down.

At this time, what should be done more is...you should be stable.

Don't be in a hurry.

The Tatars' target was actually Jinzhou, so the so-called Datong was indeed just a trick to cover up.

But more than a month ago, the Tatars sent troops and horses to attack Datong. At the same time, from the news from Daning, the Tatars' actions were actually illusions prepared for the surprise attack on Jinzhou, distracting their sight.

This is a long-planned military plan.

Although the military strength of the Tatars was not found in Jinzhou, it seems that this battle was a must-win for the Tatars. The entire Tatar army must have been led by the little prince, and thus swept across the entire Jinzhou and even the entire Liaodong.

The war... has begun.

This little prince...

The little prince of Tatar is not simple.

In the Tatar tribe, the little prince was the nickname of the Tatar Khan. In the past few years, there were frequent internal struggles within the Tatars, and the little prince changed very quickly.

Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, this little prince has shown his strength. He seems to have stabilized the Tatars. Since he ascended the throne of Khan, there has been no rebellion or seizure of power within the Tatars. Even in the first year of Hongzhi, the little prince submitted a petition to ask for tribute and claimed to be the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. The court was still in charge of favor and agreed to be the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty.

Subsequently, the little prince requested a trade with each other, and the court agreed after a brief dispute.

After that, the Tatar tribe took this opportunity to attack the Oirat tribe and seized a large number of pastures from the Oirat tribe. Many Oirat tribes surrendered to the Tatar tribe, and the Tatar tribe grew stronger and stronger.

Even inside the Duoyan tribe, there seem to be many tribes close to Tatars.

When Liu Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

To a certain extent, the growth of the Tatar tribe was not only related to the cunning of the little prince, but also to the Ming Dynasty's tolerance?

The entire desert was invaded by the Tatar tribe and the Ola tribe. In addition, the Duoyan tribe, which was attached to the Ming Dynasty, was a sharp sword for the Ming court to balance the internal affairs of the desert.

Therefore, in the past decades, the imperial court has not only used the Duoyan tribe, but has always supported the Tatar tribe. Even the Tatar tribe called itself the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial court still gave preferential treatment.

The reason is not so much that it is the short-sightedness of the monarch and ministers of Hongzhi, but rather that it is the firm position within the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ola tribe was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. During the Tumubao Incident, many Ming nobles died in battle, and Emperor Yingzong was even captured by the Ola tribe. Therefore, in dealing with the matters of the entire desert, the imperial court almost made the first priority to destroy the Ola. Even though the balance of power in the desert was unbalanced, the Tatars became stronger and stronger, and the Ola was in a weak position, the entire desert actually had signs that the Tatars united the desert, and the imperial court's position on this day had never changed.

But within a few years, the Tatars with long and hard wings invaded all sides and plundered a lot of people and food. Now, they have even emerged and attacked Liaodong.

This... I really didn't expect it.

Suddenly, Liu Jian's eyes opened and he couldn't help but murmur: "Stand up the walls and down the field, but I don't know how the walls and down the field in Jinzhou are going now?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart. A few days ago, almost everyone was controversial about Ouyang Zhi’s solid walls and clearing the wilderness in Jinzhou. Now, he is afraid that the solid walls and clearing the wilderness will not be thorough enough.

Half an hour later, the eunuch rushed over and brought the report from the Ministry of War.

This is all news from Jinzhou to the Ministry of War. From a month ago to a few days ago, there were as many as seven or eight copies.

Liu Jian eagerly received the report and looked at it one by one. The more he looked, the more shocking he felt.

Obviously, it is not so much... this is a report, but rather a complaint from Jinzhou towards Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jin.

In order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, the two of them were crazy to describe it. They were never allowed to leave a grain of food in the wild, and even a large amount of food that could not be taken away would be burned. All the people must migrate, and those who refuse to migrate will be killed. All livestock, cattle, horses, and even..., including growing grain, are all left.

Even the iron cannons and iron tools for certain military purposes in the garrisons outside Jinzhou City, if they cannot be taken away, they will be buried on the spot.

In the entire Jinzhou, there were almost complaints about these two guys who came from the capital.

In order to seize the time, Ouyang Zhi even issued an order that if the deadline is exceeded, the local Baojia Chief will be investigated. If it is a military guard in various places, hundreds of households and thousands of households will be investigated directly.

Due to the tight time, Jinzhou City did not have time to accept such a large population. In just a few days, thirty-nine people died along the way. When they arrived in Jinzhou, more than a hundred people were frozen to death.

If Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jin did this in normal times, it would be enough for people to spit to death with spit.

But now, Liu Jian was really relieved and felt relieved. He couldn't help but sigh: "Ouyang Zhi... is a good person to do, and he is a good person to make."

Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it weren't for the resolute and firmness of the walls and clearing the country this time, I'm afraid that the entire outside of Jinzhou City would have long been reduced to hell on earth.

Jinzhou is not just Jinzhou City. You should know that there, almost more than 80% of the military and civilian population are also in the wild. The Tatars attacked so unexpectedly, which means that the food stored by countless people will become the military food of the Tatars, the cattle and horses of countless people will become the meat of the Tatars, and countless men, women, young and old will also become pigs and dogs in the eyes of the Tatars.

This not only strengthened the Tatars, provided them with sufficient military supplies for their next capture of Jinzhou and even swept the entire Liaodong, but also caused shocks to the entire capital, with unimaginable consequences.

Now...at least the situation is not as bad as this.

And the most important person among them is Ouyang Zhi.

As for Liu Jin...

Liu Jian ignored it automatically. Although everyone's surname is Liu, these eunuchs are not included in Liu Jian's consideration.

At this time, Liu Jian looked up at the Hanlins on duty. They were still standing in the corner with a timid feeling, waiting for Liu Gong to speak in a slightly panic.

Liu Jian couldn't help but shook his head. Hanlin, who could enter the cabinet, were naturally the best in the Hanlin, but now it seems that they are still several orders of magnitude behind Ouyang Zhi.

Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan... Now the facts have proved that they are correct.

Liu Jian finally cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to the inner palace immediately to report this matter!"

"Also, I will inform Li, Xie Ergong, and the various departments and churches, and send people to the Zhanshi Mansion..." Liu Jian paused here, feeling comfortable. The terrible thing was gone now. He was still holding the complaints from the officials of Jinzhou to Ouyang Zhi in his hand, and said excitedly: "Go to the Fang family and inform Fang Jifan. In the early morning, enter the palace immediately to discuss the secret!"

……………………

At this time, it was very quiet in the queen's bedroom in the harem.

Emperor Hongzhi was not sleeping soundly at night. Queen Zhang was worried that he would not sleep well, so she asked Kunning Palace to be absolutely silent, and even the little eunuch who served him would not make footsteps.

Occasionally, Emperor Hongzhi would grind his teeth and would also whisper in his sleep.

In the murmur, there are probably some disasters or messy things.

Therefore, Queen Zhang's sleep was a bit bad. Fortunately, even though she was awakened by Emperor Hongzhi, she would never speak out and still pretend to sleep.

But tonight, tiny steps came from outside the hall.

The steps were already very light, but they still reached the bedroom.

Soon, an inaudible voice came from outside: "Bold, at this time..."

Another voice said anxiously: "What happened... the Tatars attacked Jinzhou!"

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi, who was still sleeping just now, suddenly sat up.

Wake up.

He didn't know if he was dreaming, but he stroked his forehead and had a severe headache.

The sound outside is still very clear.

"What Jinzhou, what can't be said tomorrow? It disturbs the Lord. You don't know how to die."

"Eunuch Zhang, Jinzhou... is the gateway of Liaodong. The Tatars are all out, and it is of great importance. If I had not been for love, how dare I..."

Emperor Hongzhi had already raised his shoes, and seemed to be afraid of waking up Queen Zhang, so he looked back.

Queen Zhang had long been awakened by his dreams and snoring, but at this time, she was lying under her tent and pretending to be asleep, as if she was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would feel guilty.

Emperor Hongzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stood up and put on a robe, but found that he could not wear clothes at all, so he put them on his body vaguely, and then hurried out of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, two eunuchs were whispering. When they saw Emperor Hongzhi slowly coming out of the bedroom, they were frightened to the point of looking earth.

The two of them looked horrified and hurriedly bowed and kowtowed like pounding garlic, just about to ask for forgiveness.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Silence your voice and go to the side palace to speak."

In the side hall.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the report and his face turned pale: "The Tatars... hateful!"

The whole nest was enough to cause Emperor Hongzhi's concern.

Then, his brows slowly relaxed, and he couldn't help but say, "The prince and Fang Jifan are indeed expected to be successful. Ouyang Zhi did a good job in Jinzhou. If it weren't for them, Liaodong would be in danger! Let's go to the warm pavilion and summon the ministers to come to the palace to meet overnight. Jinzhou is still under the iron hoof of the Tatar, and it is urgent!"

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he seemed to feel that it was not enough: "Summon the prince and Fang Jifan!"
