Outside Desheng Fort, I answered the main account of the Chinese army.

An old man with a Mongolian disc face but rather thin sat expressionlessly on the main seat, playing with a delicate agate snuff box in his hand.

Snuff bottle is a container for snuff, and snuff is a foreign product that has only been introduced to East Asia in recent years, and the Mongolian nobles are not good at lighting fires and using dry tobacco because they often fight continuously on horseback, and this thing is used for convenience and is quickly spreading.

The snuff box in the old man's hand is made of a clear yellowish agate, and the maker carves a vivid peony inside the snuff box with exquisite internal carving techniques.

In today's popular snuff formula, such standards and materials, not to mention priceless, are absolutely rare.

The person who can use such utensils is naturally not an ordinary person, this old man is the king of Mo Nan, who has been in the grassland for decades and once led troops to approach the Ming Jingshi - Altan Khan.

Unlike Altan Khan's indifference, the more than ten Mongol generals who were separated from the tent were divided into two factions at the moment, arguing loudly about something. I saw that the two sides came and went, no one obeyed anyone, looking at their increasingly hot scene, the fault was not that the Great Khan was at the moment, but I was afraid that sooner or later I would have to stage a full martial arts.

Altan Khan didn't hear this, and even closed his eyes while fiddling with his snuffbox.

I don't know how long it took before he suddenly spoke: "Shut up." ”

I didn't speak very loudly, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear.

In the next moment, the sound of quarrels in the big tent disappeared together, just like a flock of birds in the forest.

All eyes were on my face.

Altan Khan, who is already over the age of six, does look old, and the wrinkles on his face are as deep and fine as if they were carved one by one with a sharp knife.

But when he opened his eyes, he just glanced casually, and the more than a dozen unruly Mongol generals present subconsciously bowed slightly at the same time, and moved their gaze from the face of the Great Khan to his feet, as if they could not show their deference without this.

Altan Khan stood up unhurriedly, paced a few steps, and suddenly said, "Beat the Han, Huotun." ”

"Great Khan, please command." If the two generals will immediately go out of the ranks.

I replied: "On the side wall of Desheng Fort, is there still the banner of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Qincha hanging today?" ”

"Back to the sweat, it's still hanging." The two will answer immediately.

"In addition to Qincha, are there any other big officials?" I answered and asked.

"There is also the banner of the eunuchs guarding Datong Town."

I replied and nodded: "That is to say, there is really a Qincha in Desheng Castle." ”

A general in his thirties couldn't help but say: "Great Khan, we have received a tip-off that Wang Chonggu is fully defended, and requires that all generals above the general level of his border army are not allowed to go out to fight. This news should be true, now that all the Ming people have retreated to the Great Wall, we wanted to arrest a few Ming Dynasty officials and exchange them for Dacheng Taiji, but I am afraid that it will not work. However, although this Desheng Fort is strong, since there is a Chin Cha in it, why don't we break through this fort? If you catch the Ming Qincha, you should be able to exchange it for Dacheng Taiji, right? ”

Since someone took the lead in speaking, someone immediately followed up, and then several generals said that this suggestion was feasible, and they had been fighting against the Ming Dynasty all year round, and they knew the reality of Desheng Fort - in terms of the scale of Desheng Fort, there were only four or five thousand soldiers and horses in it.

But Altan Khan just sneered, and decisively refused: "Storm Desheng Fort? Qingjiaodu, can your brain move more? ”

The general named Qing Jiangdu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with his suggestion, but he didn't dare to refute the Great Khan, so he had to bow his head and say: "The Great Khan has learned a lesson, but I still don't understand why I can't fight Desheng Fort...... Wang Chonggu is fully defended, if we don't attack one place, it is not a way to spend time outside the Great Wall like this all day long. ”

Another general who was good friends with the Qing generals also said: "Yes, Great Khan, now is the season of high autumn and crisp weather, it is a good time for livestock to grow fat, we have gathered more than 100,000 horses, just like this outside the Great Wall, I am afraid that the Ming Emperor will not be afraid at all, and everyone has suffered disasters in the past few years, and I am afraid that I can't afford to consume empty consumption." ”

Altan Khan frowned and said, "Shachili, you are still the same as before, with only your own cattle and sheep in your head. ”

But there were two generals in a row who didn't understand their intentions, so I decided to explain, so I said: "Why don't you think about it, since the news of Wang Chonggu's comprehensive insistence is true, how can the officials of the Ming Dynasty appear at the border pass?" Not to mention civil officials, even if they are military generals, all of the above generals have retracted back to the Great Wall. At this time, don't you think it's strange that a messenger appeared at a front-line pass like Deshengbao? ”

However, the Qing generals didn't think it was strange, and replied: "The Qin mission of the Ming Dynasty is either the imperial history of the Jingshi, or the officials of the six departments, they are all stupid people who don't know the border situation, but they have the power of the Qin mission, and Wang Chonggu can't restrain them." Therefore, I think it is very likely that this Qincha just wants to come to the border to show his face, so that he can show off in front of the emperor after returning to Beijing, so as to use it as capital for future promotion. ”

I replied and laughed, and said: "It seems that you still used your brain, but Qingjiangdu, you still underestimate Wang Chonggu, when he was in Shaanxi, Wo'er Dusi didn't get much benefit in his hands, this person is not so simple." ”

Qing didn't speak, but he didn't seem very convinced, so I replied and continued: "You don't believe it? Even if all your assumptions about the Ming Qincha are correct, judging from Ben Khan's understanding of Wang Chonggu, he will not make any preparations and let the Qincha sabotage his arrangement. At the very least, if Qin Cha insists on coming to Desheng Fort, Wang Chonggu should at least increase his troops at Desheng Fort for the sake of safety, right? However, is there an additional army flag on the side wall of Fort Desheng? No, Fort Desheng did not receive any reinforcements. ”

"Do you still think there's no problem here?" I glanced at the generals and said with certainty: "What is Wang Chonggu's ultimate goal, Ben Khan still doesn't know, but Ben Khan can be expected that he deliberately used this Ming Qin Cha to confuse Ben Khan, hoping that Ben Khan would storm Desheng Fort in order to snatch Qin Cha in exchange for Hannaji." ”

Qing Jiangdu suddenly realized this, but he immediately fell into hard thought again, and frowned: "But what good is it for Wang Chonggu that we attack Desheng Fort?" We don't know the situation of Desheng Fort, the guard inside is Ma Wei, this guy is the righteous son of Ma Lanxi, and he is a cavalry general who fled south. Moreover, he is a general, according to Wang Chonggu's orders, he can't go out of the pass to fight us, but if he defends the city...... What is the use of his two knives? It's not as useful as the garrison of Desheng Fort, Ma Gui, but although Ma Gui is a bit troublesome, but the Ma family army under him is only a few hundred people at most, if our various departments take turns to attack, even if they are tired, they can also exhaust him. ”
