How so?!

Zhao Daying was stunned in place, his eyes looked straight at the head in the water tank, staring at the obvious net towel marks on the head hair, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't understand.

Is it obviously the Tatar head of the border army?

How did you become the head of the common people?

Zhao Daying was like a gambler who had lost all his money at this moment, his eyes were blood-red, he couldn't stop shaking his head, and his mouth was babbling about the impossible.......

How could it be!

Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying and pulled the corners of his mouth, you Zhao Daying killed the good and risked the merits to lose his conscience, and some border army generals are not good birds!

If it were another year, Zhu Ping'an might not be clear, but last year was too special.

The change of Gengxu!

Because less than a year has passed, and it is another scandal, the current imperial court is still blocking all kinds of information, and the Ming people at this time are not very clear about the inside story. But later history records this very clearly, many historical books and classics have described this, Zhu Ping'an has read a lot of information in modern times, and he will not be mistaken.

In June last year, the head of the Mongol Tumut tribe, the Tatar Altan Khan, launched a war because the Ming closed the "tribute city" between the Ming and the Tatars.

The so-called tribute market, that is, the Tatars paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then sent people to follow the tribute envoys with cattle, sheep, horses and other things, and traded with the Ming Dynasty at the place designated by the Ming Dynasty in exchange for Ming salt, iron, tea, grain and other materials.

Because the Ming Dynasty closed the tribute market, the Tatars could not obtain salt, iron, tea, grain and other materials from the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, in order to consolidate his rule over the Tatars, and at the same time, in order to defeat and conquer the Warat tribe, Altan Khan urgently needed to write materials.

At first, Altan Khan did not start a war, but sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, saying that he would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would open the tribute city, and hoped to expand the scale of the tribute city.

The attitude of the Tatar envoys was not very good, and the scale of the demand for tribute was also very large.

Da Ming was worried about the recurrence of the civil engineering changes of the year, and was stimulated by the attitude of this Tatar envoy, how can you look like a minister and a tribute, saying that it is a minister and a tribute, and you are so presumptuous. So Da Ming Yizheng rejected Altan Khan, and by the way, beheaded the arrogant Tatar envoys.

Formal means were not available, so Altan Khan launched a war aimed at forcing the Ming to open the city of tribute. In some ways, it resembles the Opium Wars.

"The newborn children in my captivity have grown into great men, and the foals have grown into big horses, but the Chinese have unreasonably deceived my tribe, killed my envoys, cut off my trade, made my children eat meat without tea and salt, and let my girls marry without rouge. Now I swear to wash this disgrace with blood, and feed your horses, polish your scimitars, sharpen your arrows, and I will take you horses to the Central Plains, and restore the glory of your ancestors with our horses, scimitars, and arrows. ”

In June, Altan Khan finished his oath, burned paper and threw it into the sky, mentioning more than 100,000 people from various Tatar ministries to kill Datong and Xuanfu with great momentum.

At that time, it was the chief soldier Qiu Luan who guarded Datong, and this guy saw that Altan Khan was strong and murderous, thinking that he couldn't beat him anyway, so he used his best move, and sent someone to bribe Altan Khan with gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable gifts, and carried forward the spirit of the dead friend Mo Die Poor, so that Altan Khan could attack in another place.

Altan Khan was also an honest man, and after receiving the money, he really changed places and led the army to turn around and go east.

This will make the border towns in the east miserable.

Originally, Altan Khan came to Datong and Xuanfu, and the border towns such as Gubeikou in the east were not prepared, but Altan Khan's army suddenly appeared. It was in response to the soldier's sentence that he was unprepared for the surprise attack, and the result can be imagined, the Ming army in Gubeikou and other border towns collapsed at the first touch, and the armor was abandoned by Altan Khan, and the soldiers and civilians were killed and injured countless times.

Then Altan Khan drove straight into Gubeikou, murderous, all the way to Beijing.

In fact, Altan Khan wanted to come to the capital, and he had to pass through the three important military towns of Huairou, Shunyi, and Tongzhou to reach the capital. However, the military defense of the three important military towns of Huairou, Shunyi, and Tongzhou is also rotten to the bone, and the armament is lax, which is worse than that of Gubeikou. The three important military towns, just like tofu, Altan Khan chiseled through them without much effort.

Altan Khan met with little or no decent resistance, and his troops approached the capital.

Kyoshi shook.

At that time, the garrison of the capital said that it was 350,000, but in fact, according to statistics, there were only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses. Emperor Jiajing urgently ordered the town soldiers from all over the country to rush to the aid of King Qin, and at the same time gathered the militia and the martial arts who participated in the martial arts in the capital to defend the city. Well, by the way, Qi Jiguang, who will be brilliant in the future, was participating in the examination at that time, and he showed the strategy of guarding the palace, temporarily serving as the general banner, supervising the nine gates of the capital, and emerging from the top.

In charge of the defense of the capital was Ding Rukui, the former secretary of the military department.

Ding Rukui was in danger and quickly dispatched troops to resist the Altan Khan army. However, Ding Rukui was at odds with the Yan Party. Naturally, the close generals of the Yan Party would not cooperate with Ding Rukui, either grinding foreign workers or giving Ding Rukui false information, and they would be weak when they said that they would go to the front.

And Yan Song also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the "thorn in the eye" Ding Rukui.

When Ding Rukui came to ask Yan Song how to defend the battle, Yan Song analyzed the situation of the enemy's and our forces, and then said to Ding Rukui very emotionally, "When this battle is at stake, I will fully support Lord Ding." ”

This made Ding Rukui a little moved.

"But I have to explain the pros and cons of the war to Lord Ding, if you fight outside the fortress, you can cover it up if you lose, but if you fight in the suburbs of Beijing, you can't cover it up if you are defeated. Our army is strong in defending the city, not in the field. Therefore, Lord Ding should think about it carefully. Yan Song put himself in Ding Rukui's shoes and analyzed, suggesting that Ding Rukui should not fight.

"Now the situation is urgent, Altan Khan is burning and looting outside the city, I Ding has received the emperor's favor, I should serve the country with my body, and I dare not be alone, so I ask to go out of the city to resist the enemy. I, Ding, am not greedy for merit, and the border army of King Qin should be combined with the outside, and the front and rear attacks should be able to retreat from the enemy. Ding Rukui shook his head and asked to fight.

"Lord Ding, now that the Holy Lord is resting in Xiyuan, if you insist on sending troops, it will definitely alarm the Holy Master, isn't this self-inflicted. Besides, we are waiting for the battle, and with King Qin watching aside, Altan Khan will not dare to attack the city rashly. If Lord Ding goes out rashly and wins, it's okay, but if he is defeated, the capital will have no soldiers to defend, what if the capital is broken? Can Lord Ding be sure of victory? The capital is important, the lifeblood of the society, Lord Ding should be cautious. When Altan Khan has grabbed enough, he will naturally retreat, and I will tell the Holy Lord the details, and Lord Baoding is safe. Yan Songxiao persuaded Ding Rukui with affection and reason.

thereupon

The Ming army sat back and watched Altan Khan burn, kill and plunder.

The royal mausoleum and the minister's estates outside the city were burned and looted by Altan Khan.

This is a big basket.

So Ding Rukui, who was afraid of not fighting and was not strictly guarded, became a scapegoat and was ordered by Emperor Jiajing.

In a word.

Since the Altan Khan invaded the Ming Dynasty last year, Datong Town has defended Qiu Luan and bribed the Tatars, so naturally there will be no Tatar heads; The border armies in Beigukou, Huairou, Shunyi, Tongzhou and other places are about to collapse at the first touch, and it would be good to be able to save their lives, let alone Tatar heads.

Not to mention the capital, if there is no battle, sit back and watch Altan Khan burn and loot and return, there will definitely be no Tatar head.

That is to say, there was no Tatar head in the entire Ming Dynasty last year.

Therefore, even if Zhao Daying's uncle and nephew dropped the head, as long as it can be determined that the head is last year, Zhu Ping'an is not worried. No matter how Zhao Daying's uncle and nephew toss, it was useless. What is fake is fake after all.

Killing good and risking merit, the most powerful is the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The means of identifying good and fake merit are also the most abundant and standard in the late Ming Dynasty. Zhu Ping'an's several methods today are the identification methods of the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, for people in court, these methods are a bit eye-opening.
