Dongcheng, Zuixian Tower.
One of the largest restaurants in Beijing.
Different from other restaurants, this restaurant can be visited by everyone from princes and nobles to pedestrians and merchants, as well as middle-class and literati businessmen, but the distinctions are different.
Just like outside, the diners here are also discussing the content in the Daming Daily, but their discussion is at a much higher level than ordinary people!
"The imperial court's three-step strategy of cutting firepower and beating the snake seven inches away is really ruthless. Under such a policy, few people dare to cooperate with Jiannu!"
“Without the embargoed materials provided by merchants and the skills of craftsmen, Jiannu would be a tree without roots.
Not to mention directly crushing Jiannu, but it can greatly slow down the development of Jiannu and give Ming time to recover. "
"Haha, I'm just afraid that those merchants, craftsmen, and surrenderers are not afraid.
Let’s not talk about surrendering. The reward for merchants from establishing slaves is three times or even ten times that of Ming Dynasty. The craftsmen are much higher than Ming Dynasty. The choice is obvious! "
"Yes, the court said that there will be no mercy for killing, but in which year will it be implemented?"
"Hehehe, that's not necessarily the case!"
Someone sneered and glanced around with disdain: "I'm afraid you don't know, but someone raised it at the meeting yesterday.
Anyone who surrendered would be subject to official status in the Ming Dynasty, and the court would issue arrest documents and a death order.
I asked you if you are afraid of reporting a businessman to get a fortune of 100,000 yuan? "
hiss……
After the speaker finished speaking, with him as the center, the diners in a radius of more than ten meters took a breath, and their eyes were full of horror.
If this is true, surrendering and embargoing merchants will really make heaven and earth unable to respond, and earth and earth will become inoperable.
He was lucky, but there was only death waiting for him.
After a while, a diner spoke up, his voice dry: "Who made this suggestion?"
"Commander of the Jinyi Guards Li Ruolian!"
"Well, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. Say goodbye!"
"I also remembered. The dog at home hasn't escaped yet. I'll get back to you tomorrow!"
…
Everyone stood up instantly and offered various reasons to leave.
Dare to talk about the commander of Jin Yiwei, he simply doesn't want to mess around.
Ever since he handled cases such as the Eunuch Party, the Xuan Mansion, the Eight Great Locust Bounties, the King of Jin, etc., he has gained such a prestigious and evil reputation that even a child would not dare to cry at night after hearing it.
The discussion started in Beijing and then spread to surrounding prefectures and counties.
Three days later, in the Qingning Palace in Shengjing, the capital of Jiannu King, Huang Taiji had just finished washing when a guard hurried in.
"Khan, something happened!"
The guard said and handed over the paper in his hand.
Huang Taiji took it and scanned it quickly, his pupils shrank suddenly, the hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and he said lightly: "Where did it come from?"
"They are everywhere in Shengjing, and in several surrounding small cities! So many suddenly appeared overnight, and now the whole Shengjing is talking about them."
"Inform all Baylors, banner leaders, governors, and ministers to come to Chongzheng Hall to discuss matters!"
After the guards left, Huang Taiji's calm expression suddenly darkened. The veins in the hand holding the paper bulged due to the force, and the anger in his eyes surged.
This is not just a few notices. The fact that so many were printed in Shengjing shows that Ming Dynasty has arranged for people to infiltrate.
It took a while to regain his composure, then he folded the paper in his hand, stuffed it into his sleeve, and strode towards Chongzheng Hall.
When he arrived at the Chongzheng Hall, Mang Gurtai, Daishan and other big beile, flag masters, etc. all arrived, all with angry faces.
They could all see the seriousness of the notice. To them, it was like three mountains that could fall at any time.
"You have all seen the specific situation, tell me what you think!"
Everyone turned their attention to Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan. They were Heshuo Baylor and the Eight Banners Leaders. They had the highest status except Huang Taiji.
Both of them fell silent, which was almost inexplicable.
The three policies of the Ming Dynasty were aimed at the people who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty. However, there were no people who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty. They could not imitate them.
They can arrange people to protect them, and they can protect a thousand people, but as long as they fail once, no one will believe it.
No one wants to live in worry every day.
After a while, Daishan said softly: "Khan, I..."
Before Dai Shan finished speaking, a chamberlain walked up to Huang Taiji and whispered a few words.
Huang Taiji looked a little surprised and whispered: "Pass!"
A moment later, Fan Wencheng, who was dressed in a dusty appearance, entered the Chongzheng Hall.
"Fan Wencheng, aren't you responsible for liaising with the various Mongolian tribes and chasing Chahar Lindan Khan who moved westward? Why are you here?"
"Dai Shan!"
Huang Taiji shouted coldly, then looked at Fan Wencheng and said in a deep voice, "Why did Mr. Fan come back suddenly?"
"Hui Dahan, something happened!"
Fan Wencheng's face was full of sadness: "We gathered an army of 80,000 people and fought against Chahar several times, losing more than 20,000 people.
Our headquarters lost more than 6,000 people, so we have no choice but to withdraw! "
Everyone suddenly changed their colors, and the two figures of twenty thousand and six thousand shocked everyone to their feet.
Without waiting for anyone to question, Huang Taiji stood up and stared at everyone coldly, his eyes full of warning.
With two wise men, Saha Lian and Fan Wencheng, and Amin personally leading the troops, it would have been absolutely impossible for such battle losses to have occurred if something had not happened.
"Mr. Fan, please tell me what happened slowly!"
"Great Khan, the ninth day of June..."
Fan Wencheng then explained the cause and effect of the incident.
"The Ming Dynasty is really despicable and shameless. It calls itself the Celestial Dynasty, but it does such a despicable thing!"
"Lin Danhan is such an idiot. Can't you see through such a little trick? He is obviously working as a spearman for the Ming Dynasty, but he actually fell for it. This time he lost his wife and lost his army!"
"Fan Wencheng, since Lin Danhan intends to join forces with us, why don't you join forces?"
"Great Khan, you can't bear it, you have to fight it back!"
"The Ming Dynasty dared to plot against us. This revenge must be avenged, not only for our six thousand warriors, but also for the other tribes!"
…
"Quiet!"
Huang Taiji, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, but his voice became much calmer, and everyone fell silent for an instant.
They knew the Great Khan's temper. The more he behaved like this, the more he was on the verge of going berserk.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Huang Taiji took out the folded Ming Dynasty Announcement from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Wencheng.
"Mr. Fan, I found this in Shengjing last night. Take a look!"
