The eunuch left in a hurry after listening to Liu Jian's order.

But Liu Jian was still in the cabinet, with a bit of irritability in his eyes, and he turned around in a hurry. Several Hanlins who were on duty at night had been woken up in the middle of the night.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Jian looked up at the darkness outside the cabinet. After a while, he finally settled down.

At this time, the more important thing to do is... You should be steady.

There is no rush.

The target of the Tatars was actually Jinzhou, so the so-called Datong was really just a trick to deceive people.

But more than a month ago, the Tatars sent troops and horses to attack Datong. At the same time, according to the reports from Daning, all the actions of the Tatars were actually preparations for a surprise attack on Jinzhou to disperse them. Sight.

This is completely a long-planned and extremely meticulous military plan.

In Jinzhou, although the strength of the Tatars has not been detected, it seems that the Tatars are bound to win this battle, and the entire Tatar army must be headed by the little prince. It was a huge conspiracy to sweep the entire Jinzhou, and even the entire Liaodong.

The Great War...has begun.

this little prince...

The little prince of Tartar is not easy.

In the Tatar tribe, the little prince was another name for the Great Khan of the Tatars. In the past few years, there were frequent infighting within the Tatars, and the change of the little prince was extremely fast.

Since Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, this little prince has shown his edge. He seems to have stabilized the interior of Tatar. The prince begged for tribute and claimed to be Da Yuan Da Khan. The imperial court's affairs are excellent and tolerant, so allow it.

Afterwards, the little prince asked for a mutual market, and after a brief dispute, the court also agreed.

Afterwards, the Tatar tribe took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Oirat tribe with a lot of news from the desert, and seized a large number of grasslands from the Oirat tribe.

Even within the Duoyan tribe, there seemed to be many tribes close to the Tatars.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.

To a certain extent, the growth of the Tatar tribe is not only related to the cunning of the little prince, but also related to Daming's appeasement?

Throughout the desert, the Tatar tribe and the Wara tribe competed for supremacy. In addition, there was also the Duoyan tribe attached to the Ming Dynasty as a sharp sword for the Ming court to balance the internal affairs of the desert.

Therefore, in the past few decades, in addition to using the Duoyan tribe, the imperial court has always supported the Tatar tribe, and even the Tatar tribe called itself the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial court still gave preferential treatment.

The reason is not so much the short-sightedness of Hongzhi's monarchs and ministers, but it is the firm position of Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Wara tribe is the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. During the Tumu Fort change, many nobles of the Ming Dynasty died in battle. Emperor Yingzong was even captured by the Wara tribe. Therefore, in dealing with the affairs of the entire desert, the imperial court almost took the elimination of Wara as the first priority. First and foremost, even if the balance of power in the desert is out of balance, the Tatars are getting stronger and stronger, while the Oala is weak, there are signs that the entire desert is dominated by the Tatars, and the court has never changed its position on this.

But within a few years, the Tatars with long wings invaded all sides and plundered a lot of people and food. Now, they have come out with all their strength and attacked Liaodong.

This... I really didn't expect it.

Suddenly, Liu Jian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help muttering: "Strengthen the walls and clear the wilds, but I don't know how Jinzhou's hard walls and clear the wilds are going now?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jian smiled wryly in his heart. A few days ago, almost everyone was disputing Ouyang Zhi's fortification and clearing in Jinzhou, but now, he was afraid that the fortification and clearing were not thorough enough.

Half an hour later, the eunuch hurried over, and what he brought was the report from the Ministry of War.

This is all the news from inside Jinzhou to the Ministry of War. From a month ago to a few days ago, there were as many as seven or eight copies.

Liu Jian eagerly took the memorial and read it one by one. The more he read it, the more shocking he felt.

Obviously, rather than saying... this is a report, it is better to say that this is a complaint from Jinzhou to Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jin.

In order to fortify the wall and clear the field, the two of them can be described as frantic. They will never allow a grain of food to be left in the wild, or even burn a large amount of food that cannot be taken away. All the people must migrate, and those who refuse to migrate will be killed. All livestock, cattle and horses, even... including grain, there is nothing left.

Even the iron cannons of the guards outside Jinzhou City and some iron objects for military use, if they cannot be taken away, they will be buried on the spot.

The whole of Jinzhou almost complained about these two guys from the capital.

In order to hurry up, Ouyang Zhi even issued an order that those who fail to meet the deadline will be held accountable to the local Baojia chiefs, and those who are military guards from various places will be directly held accountable to hundreds and thousands of households.

And because of time constraints, Jinzhou City did not have time to accept such a large population. In just a few days, thirty-nine people died along the way. When they arrived in Jinzhou, more than a hundred died of freezing.

In normal times, what Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jin did would be enough to kill a person with spit.

But now, Liu Jian really breathed a sigh of relief, with a feeling of relief, he couldn't help but sighed: "Ouyang Zhi... is a talent for making things well."

Liu Jian is in his heart, and he can't help but sigh with emotion.

If it weren't for this resolute fortification of the wall and clearing the country, I'm afraid

Now, the entire outside of Jinzhou City has long been reduced to hell on earth.

A Jinzhou is not as simple as Jinzhou City. You must know that there, almost more than 80% of the military and civilian population are in the wild, and the Tatars attacked so unexpectedly. The stored food will become the Tatars' army rations, the cattle and horses of countless people will become the Tatars' meat, and countless men, women, old and children will also become pigs and dogs in the eyes of the Tatars.

This not only strengthened the Tatars, provided enough military supplies for them to seize Jinzhou in the next step, and even sweep the entire Liaodong, but also caused shocks in the entire capital, with disastrous consequences.

Now...at least the situation is not so bad.

Among them, the most important person is Ouyang Zhi.

As for Liu Jin...

Liu Jian automatically ignored it. Although everyone's surname is Liu, such eunuchs are not included in Liu Jian's consideration.

At this time, Liu Jian raised his head and glanced at the Hanlin on duty. They were still standing obediently in the corner, waiting for Liu Gong to speak in a panic.

Liu Jian shook his head involuntarily. The Hanlin who can be appointed to the cabinet is naturally the best in the Hanlin, but now it seems that they are still several orders of magnitude behind Ouyang Zhi.

Of course, His Royal Highness and Fang Jifan... now the facts have proved that they are correct.

Liu Jian finally pulled himself together, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone into the inner palace immediately to report this matter!"

"Also, inform Li, Xie Ergong, and inform all ministries and halls, and send people to Zhan Shifu..." Liu Jian paused here, comfortable, what was originally a terrible thing has now disappeared for seven or seven days Eighty-eight, he was still holding these reports of Jinzhou officials complaining to Ouyang Zhi, and said excitedly: "Go to Fang's house on the way, let Fang Jifan know, and enter the palace immediately in the early morning to discuss the secrets!"

………………

At this time, in the queen's bedroom in the harem, it was very quiet.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't sleep well at night. Empress Zhang was worried that he would not sleep well, so she demanded absolute silence in the Kunning Palace.

Occasionally, Emperor Hongzhi would grind his teeth and talk in his sleep.

Among the ramblings, there are probably some disasters or messy things.

Therefore, Empress Zhang's sleep was also a bit bad. Fortunately, even if she was awakened by Emperor Hongzhi, she kept silent and still fell asleep.

But tonight, small footsteps came from outside the hall.

The footsteps were already very light, but they still reached the sleeping hall.

Soon, an inaudible voice came from outside: "Bold, at this time..."

Another voice said anxiously: "Something happened... Tatars attacked Jinzhou!"

All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi, who was still asleep just now, suddenly sat up.

Woke up.

He didn't know if he was dreaming, but he stroked his forehead with a severe headache.

But the voice outside was still very clear.

"What about Jinzhou, you can't talk about it tomorrow. If you disturb the Holy Majesty, you won't even know how to die."

"Eunuch Zhang, Jinzhou... is the gateway to Eastern Liao, and the Tatars are coming out in full force. The matter is of great importance. If slaves and maids are not forced to do so, how dare they..."

Emperor Hongzhi had already stood up with his shoes on, as if he was afraid of waking up Empress Zhang, he looked back.

Empress Zhang had already been awakened by his sleep talking and snoring, but at this time, she was lying under the dental curtain and pretending to be sound asleep, as if she was afraid of arousing Emperor Hongzhi's guilt.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi heave a sigh of relief, he got up in a hurry, put on a robe, but found that he didn't know how to put on a robe, so he put it on vaguely, and then hurried out of the bedroom.

Outside the sleeping hall, two eunuchs were whispering. When they saw Emperor Hongzhi slowly coming out of the sleeping hall, their faces turned pale with fright.

The two looked terrified, bowed down hastily, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and were about to beg for mercy.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Shut up, go to the side hall to talk."

In the side hall.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the report, and immediately his face turned livid: "The Tatars... are hateful!"

This is enough to cause Emperor Hongzhi to worry.

Immediately, his brows slowly relaxed, and he couldn't help saying: "Prince and Fang Jifan, as expected, Ouyang Zhi did a good job in Jinzhou. If it weren't for them, Liaodong would be in danger! Drive... to the Nuan Pavilion, and summon the ministers to enter the palace overnight Let's see you. Jinzhou is still under the iron heel of the Tatars, so there is no delay!"

After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough: "Call the prince and Fang Jifan!"
