Chapter 198 Win-win, but the traitor loses

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng knew that Altan was already impatient on the Datong front line. If he couldn't wait to fight, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Therefore, the decree was ordered, and before the Ministry of Rites was ready for enthronement, the cabinet issued an emergency notification to Datong in the form of a court sender.

Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi had been waiting for a long time and had a lot of bubbles. As the two friends expected, Altan's tens of thousands of troops were hung up for more than a month, and the food and grass were exhausted. They were hungry and cold, so they had to kill the horses to fill their stomachs. The various divisions naturally turned into a feast. If Governor Wang hadn't boldly and sent Shanxi merchants to secretly bypass Yungang and transported a batch of food and grass to stabilize them, the battle would have been fought long ago.

The two received a letter from the court, and if they were given a general amnesty, they immediately sent a Green Light Hero to take a senator out of the city and report the good news to Altan to the Mongolian camp.

After hearing the news, Altan was overjoyed. This time he advocated the revenge, and there was a lot of opposition among his brothers and sons. If the revenge fails, the face of Lao Khan will be the second, which will seriously affect his prestige.

He immediately summoned the leaders of various departments to his tent and listened to the angels to read out the will of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

When he heard that the Ming emperor wanted to confer Lao Khan as King Shunyi, and the Khan brother Lao Badu, the eldest son Huang Taiji as the governor and the magistrate, and 61 other leaders including Bintu Taiji as commanders, thousands of households and other officials... In short, all the leaders of all sizes were all cast as monkeys and had the status of Ming officials... but these guys were so beautiful that they were alive.

Altan's younger brother kept saying that he didn't expect that he was still wise.

"Oh haha, of course, why don't I be the eldest brother and you be the younger brother?" Altan laughed proudly. From now on, he will be on par with those Shanxi vassal kings!

He remembered that this guy was anxious to scold him for wanting to be a Ming dog, and then teased: "Why, don't you think it's a Ming dog to lose your ancestors' face?"

"Oh, when a dog can be motionless, it will eat smoothly. Who would like to be a hungry wolf for food in the snow?" The old man was not ashamed at all. He smiled with an old face like a jujube tree bark and said, "It is the greatest luck to have the chance to be a dog in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Hahaha, God of Eternal Life bless you..." Altan's sons also laughed, obviously agreeing.

Only Altan's eldest son Huang Taiji was a little unhappy. He felt that his father, King Shunyi, would probably have to let Han Naji inherit it in the future, and he would not have to live as a prince.

Since you have been named the King of Father, then you should be named the King of Myself, right?

He asked Chatai Gisarmani to ask the angel, what kind of official is this governor Tongzhi? Is there any Governor General Xuanda?

In Huang Taiji's view, Governor Xuanda is the biggest official under the emperor. The court will definitely not grant a bigger one to himself, so there will be an excuse to make a fuss.

Unfortunately, there was a traitor among the Taiji people. Cha Taiji had been bribed by Wang Chonggu, so he told the Green Light Hero about Huang Taiji's thoughts in Chinese.

Lu Guang smiled and told Huang Taiji that the governor and the magistrate were from the first rank. However, the governor of Xuanda Wang Chonggu was only the second rank. In terms of grade, you are still half a level higher than him.

"Oh, is that? That's great!" Huang Taiji was so happy that he never mentioned being Xiao Wang.

Seeing that the leaders had no objection anymore, Altan completely relieved and ordered the killing of cattle and sheep, entertaining angels, and celebrating the completion of the tribute.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Guang told Altan that the formal enthronement ceremony requires time to prepare, and it is definitely too late before the New Year. "Why don't the prince set off to return to the grassland and come back to receive the enthronement when the flowers bloom next spring?"

"It's cold and cold, and I hope to get out of the camp as soon as possible." Altan couldn't wait to get up as King Shunyi and burped, saying, "But the problem is that if you return empty-handed, hundreds of thousands of men, women, young and old will starve to death in each department."

"So the prince is worried about this?" Lu Guang laughed and said, "Governor-General of the King has already considered this matter. Since the prince has surrendered, your tribe is the people of my Ming Dynasty, so of course the court will not sit idly by."

"Governor Wang has ordered Shanxi merchants to prepare enough food for you to spend the winter, as well as tea bricks, iron pots, cloths, medicinal materials, etc., which are all urgently needed by your department." Lu Guang said as he glanced at Salmani and said:

"Please send Chataiji with me to Datong to negotiate the transaction. If everything goes well, the goods will be transported to the market within three days."

"Oh, is that? That's great!" Altan and others were ecstatic again. They had been asking for a trade with each other for many years, but now they finally got what they wanted. They all calculated how many cattle, sheep and horses they brought could be used for trade.

"I will now order to withdraw most of the people first, leaving only a part of them to trade here."

"Governor Wang also said that starting next year, the court will set up several courts on the grasslands. In the future, you won't have to go so far to trade in Datong." Lu Guang smiled again: "In the future, you will have everything you want to buy from the Ming Dynasty, and you will also live a happy life like the princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Aoaoao, God of Changsheng, it's so happy to be a dog in the Ming Dynasty..." The crowd of Taiji howled excitedly, fantasizing about the bright future of wearing silk robes, living in a golden tent, and cooking tea in an iron pot. It was so drunk that I thought about it.

Altan was so happy. Even though he was excited, he decided to give the prepared gift in advance. He ordered a son a few words. After a while, a team of Mongolian warriors led nine Han people with big tied and mouths into the tent.

Lu Guang, a Mongolian master, recognized at a glance. The one in charge was the traitor Zhao Quan, as well as Zhang Wenyan, Liu Tianqi, Li Zixin, Zhao Si, Liu Long and other evil white lotus demons.

These guys originally followed Lu Zhenming, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi, and used magic to deceive people and plot against others. Later, Lu Shi was defeated and executed, and Zhao Quan and others fled to Fengzhou Beach with their confidants, recruited refugees, built a city to defend themselves, and called Bansheng.

Another hundred households who committed the crime, Zhang Wenyan, guerrilla resident Liu Tianqi and others led the crowd to join. In the past ten years, the number of fugitives gathered in Bansheng has reached more than 100,000, and it has become the first city on the frontier...

Lu Guang had been to Bansheng and knew that the city was sparse and dilapidated, and the people were so poor that they were so poor. However, Zhao Quan and others' mansions were extremely rich, and they were still so proud of the monkey-like opening the government office, known as the "Kaihua Palace".

It would be fine if they were struggling outside the Great Wall, but the annoying thing was that these guys were still the leader. They recognized Altan as the leader and instigated him to proclaim himself emperor, so that they would be better than a prince. Moreover, they also used their identity as a Han Chinese to lurk back to Xuanda Shanxi and other places to spy on military information for Altan and find targets to take action directly.

When Altan committed the robbery, the two Japanese devils who were in Bansheng would also organize their troops to follow the battle in order to get the spoils.

Therefore, every time the Tartars invaded, they could see the loopholes in the Ming army's defense line and get in, which had a lot to do with this group of leading parties. Moreover, the second Japanese dealers were much more cruel than the real Japanese dealers. Every time they attacked the most, they were these "Imperial Army"!

During this peace talks, Wang Chonggu asked Altan to hand over the wanted criminals such as Zhao Quan to give an explanation to the court.

Altan wished someone would be a scapegoat for him, and he had been coveting the city for a long time, and he had beaten Zhao Quan and his group of people in one go. He just moved his Wang Ting in.

So he and Chataiji decided on a plan to trap a group of people who were lifting and lowering. The plan was very simple, so simple that they insulted the word "strategy" - that is, they pretended to attack Datong, summoned Zhao Quan and others to be thought tanks, and then arrested.

However, because Altan has been straightforward for the rest of his life and even has a reputation for taking advantage of his grandson's wife, Zhao Quan and others have no doubt of being cheated. As soon as they received the order, they rushed to help the battle, but as soon as they entered the camp, they were tied up to a strong point...

Then Altan kept making up reasons and led the heads and minds of Banshengcheng to the camp one after another, and without any effort, they all caught them.

"That time in Shizhou was instigated by Zhao Quan and his group." Altan pointed at Zhao Quan with anger and said, "We are honest and kind, and we are all letting these Ming traitors incite chaos! Leave them to the Heavenly Dynasty, and we will be insulted for generations in the future and will never rebel again!"

In order to show that he was not talking casually, he also broke the arrow and said, "If I and my descendants break my promise, I should be like this!"

Lu Guang hurriedly broke the arrow and swore: "We are consistent with each other, and we will not lose our words!"

After the banquet, Lu Guang and others were going to escort Zhao Quan and other prisoners, preparing to return to Datong with Cha Taiji.

Altan personally sent him out of the camp, took Lu Guang's hand before leaving, and whispered: "The hero must advise my grandson to come back, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my wife."

"I'm afraid he has concerns." Lu Guang of course wanted to fight for a better situation for the hard-core pro-Ming faction among the Mongols in the future.

"That's it. Mani, tell my grandson." Altan said loudly: "Just say grandpa is sorry for him and will never hurt him anymore. As long as he is willing to go back with me, I will return his father's troops to him. After I die, he will be the next King of Shunyi!"

After a pause, Altan lowered his voice again and said, "Tell him that grandpa has also prepared a beauties in the Western Regions to compensate him, but they are not moved intact!"

"Yes, adoptive father." Chataiji couldn't help swallowing, not knowing whether he was envious of Han Naji or greedy for the body of the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions...

~~

In that room, Wang Chonggu received a report, saying that Altan had sent Zhao Quan and others. He was overjoyed and immediately sent Ma Fang to lead two thousand elite cavalry out of the city to greet him!

"This is a great gift!" When Ma Fang went out, Governor Wang laughed at the Governor Fang Fengshi and said, "Otherwise, we will not have a good life for many years."

"Then let's parade them in Datong and Xuanfu first, and then send them to the capital to offer prisoners?" Fang Fengshi suggested with deep agreement.

"Well, we must send heavy troops to protect us. First, we must prevent problems before they happen, and second, we must create momentum so that the people can regard them as their main evil." Wang Chonggu nodded and said.

During this time, the pressure on his shoulders was too great. He barely passed the tribute when the court discussed twice. In other words, half of the people had to strongly oppose it even if they offend Gao Gong.

Even in Xuanda, when he was called Wang Chonggu a traitor, the voices of corrupt officials were rampant. Especially the families of the victims in Shizhou, the sky posed banners outside the Governor's Office and wrote blood letters to protest, which made him very passive.
