Soon, after thinking about it for a few days, Lin Dan Khan handed a letter to Jinong Nao Damao: "You immediately send someone to deliver this letter to Jinong Lelun of the West Tumut Department, and tell him that we need to borrow his way to go to Xuanfu, and he must agree!"
As for the reason, Ben Khan has written it very clearly, and I hope that he still has the interests of our entire Golden Family in his heart!
”Lin Dan Khan said to the other Chahar nobles around him: "For the benefit of my Huang family, from now on, this Khan will no longer directly unify my Tatar tribes by force, but try to appease and form alliances, so as to preserve the strength of our Tatar as much as possible, through the recent understanding of the south, the current Ming Kingdom seems to be different from the previous Ming Kingdom, this is a Ming Kingdom that has begun to actively expand and has greater ambitions, their purpose is not only land, Maybe our population, and even our immortal heaven completely disappearing from this world!
”Lin Dan Khan said with a solemn expression: "This is a terrible thing!
I hope Leren of the Situmut Department understands this!
We must prevent this from happening, if they are short-sighted and only want to do business with the Ming Kingdom, exchange horses and sheep for the goods of the Ming Kingdom, and are even willing to let their slaves escape and become the subjects of the Ming Kingdom, and forget that the knife in their hands can not only cut mutton to eat, but also kill people, then Ben Khan can only destroy these degenerates who have no fighting spirit and are not worthy of being the descendants of my golden family for the benefit of the entire Great Yuan Empire!
”"The Great Khan is right, now there are herdsmen on the steppe who have begun to flee to Guannei, and would rather be the subjects of the Ming Kingdom than betray my golden family, and now the behavior of the Ming Kingdom seems to want to encroach on our land and population, and we must react to this."
The drag responded.......
"According to this, the behavior shown by the current Ming Kingdom is indeed worthy of our vigilance, and we are willing to take advantage of it." ”After seeing the envoy sent by Lin Dan Khan, and reading Lin Dan Khan's letter, Leren also wrung his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and then made what he thought was the wisest choice.Later, the whole Tumut was divided into two parts, of which the part in Liaodong was called the East Tumut Department, and now the Datong and Xuanfu areas are called the West Tumut Department.Now, if Lin Dan Khan wants to plunder Xuanfu to the Datong area, he has to pass through the territory of the Western Tumut Department.Lin Dan Khan originally planned to directly annex the Western Tumut Department and achieve the goal of unifying his Great Yuan Empire.But now, because of the strength shown by the Ming Dynasty, he decided to take an indirect way to achieve his goal of unifying the Great Yuan Empire, and used the main purpose to curb the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.Lin Dan Khan is obviously a person who is very sensitive to the situation in the contest between countries.And Leren was not much stupid, and he also realized that the Ming Empire was different from before, and he needed his own people to be vigilant, so he decisively agreed to Lin Dan Khan's request.But Leren was financially dependent on Daming and didn't want to be the first target of Daming's revenge, so he made another decision after agreeing to Lin Dan Khan."
As soon as the people of the Chahar Department break through the pass, they will immediately send someone to inform the Ming Court, saying that we did not promise the Chahar Department to pass through our pastoral area, but the Chahar Department forcibly defeated our army and went directly to Datong and Xuanfu, we can only send someone to inform the Ming Emperor in a hurry, and hope that the Ming Emperor can forgive us for our mistakes, in addition, send another thousand taels of gold to Zhang Butang, the governor of Xuanda, hoping that they can help us talk."
Therefore, Leren commanded his subordinates, and said: "There are few civil officials of the Han people who do not love money, and they should be able to help us speak." ”…… Here, after Lin Dan Khan learned that Leren had promised to lend him the road, he decisively led his cavalry to attack Xuanfu.Zhang Fengxiang, the governor of Xuanda, also received a secret letter from Leren brought by the merchant and a gift of 1,000 taels of gold at this time.Therefore, Zhang Fengxiang immediately said to his confidant Yang Wencong: "Immediately write a report to the imperial court, saying that according to the informant, Lin Dan Khan raised 100,000 troops, and after defeating the Western Tumut Department, he suddenly invaded Xuanfu and asked the imperial court to immediately send reinforcements." ”After speaking, Zhang Fengxiang said to his other confidant, Ai Wenkui: "You can go to Zhangjiakou Fort and inform the rich businessmen there about this." ”This Ai Wenkui took the order and left.The Ming border defense line is very long, and there are thousands of miles of the Great Wall in the Xuanfu area alone, so it is still easy for Lin Dan Khan's army to find a section of the Great Wall to break through, after all, the main role of the Great Wall is actually to play an economic blockade, and militarily, it cannot completely prevent the nomads from going south Lin Dan Khan's department is approaching Zhangjiakou Fort not far from the Great Wall after breaking the pass.Yue Qijie, the deputy envoy in charge of defending Zhangjiakou Fort, has already gathered the civil and military officials and wealthy merchants in the fort, and said: "The Tatars are coming too fast, so that although we have sent people to Xuanfu to ask for help, but now it is too late to wait for reinforcements, we need to rely on ourselves to defend Zhangjiakou Fort first, in addition to the officers and soldiers, each family will send out all the family members, and donate some money and food to defend the city together, after the incident, this official will ask for credit to the court for you." ”At this time, the guerrilla Xu Dingguo suddenly stood up and said: "In this case, we might as well surrender, maybe we can save our lives and defend Zhangjiakou Fort, what if the city is broken and slaughtered by the Tatars?"
”Yue Qijie glared at Xu Dingguo: "What the public said is the words of a big husband?"
Ask the official to open the city and surrender, unless you kill the official now!
”"Then offend, Yue Daotai!"
Xu Dingguo suddenly pulled out the short knife in his sleeve and stabbed Yue Qijie directly.Yue Qijie was shocked, looked at the knife that had submerged into his abdomen, and then looked at Xu Dingguo: "You!
”"Please don't blame Daotai, we are all businessmen, and so is General Xu, we can only do this."
At this time, a wealthy businessman named Zhang Yongfa said with a smile, and then looked at Huang Liangyu, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei who was stationed in Zhangjiakou to manage the border trade department here, and said: "Huang Baihu!
Don't blame yourself!
”"AhhBefore Huang Liangyu finished speaking, he was directly strangled by someone, and when he looked back, it was a guard beside Yue Qijie, who had obviously been bought a long time ago, and was strangling him with a wire.Huang Liangyu kicked his legs and said, "You, you profiteers!
”At the same time, Xu Dingguo had already pulled out the knife, and then stabbed Yue Qijie again, then pulled it out again, and stabbed it again, and so on, and finally, Yue Qijie was cut off because of more than ten knives.Lin Danhan was also very surprised by this, he didn't expect the rich merchants and tycoons in Zhangjiakou Fort to be so cooperative, and they took the initiative to send people to ask for surrender, and asked only not to plunder their property.Lin Dan Khan therefore agreed to their conditions, and under the kneeling of Xu Dingguo and the wealthy merchants of Zhangjiakou Fort, he successfully entered Zhangjiakou Fort.As soon as Lin Dan Khan entered Zhangjiakou Fort, he immediately ordered: "Except for those who surrendered in advance and submitted to obedience, all of them in the city will be slaughtered!"
Not a single one to stay!
Including women and children!
Eliminate it!
