Chapter 70 How dare you plot against me?

Gao Gong didn't know what emotion to use to express his attitude towards this matter.

Gao Gong said: "When Altan heard the news, he was furious and led his troops south, invading the Shuozhou and Shizhou areas of Shanxi, plundering the three passes and leaving, causing countless losses to our soldiers, civilians, and property."

When Zhu Zaigui heard this, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Yes. Altan is not the leader of a small tribe, but the Khan of the Tumed tribe who unified the Mongolian grasslands. How can he not have a temper?
Even if you look down on them and don't want to pay tribute, there is no need to detain them and make such harsh remarks.

Those people in the imperial court who did not go to the battlefield felt good about it, but as a result, the people in Shuozhou and Shizhou had to endure the wrath of Anda's border violation.

What the hell does this have to do with anything?

So at this moment, Zhu Zaigui really despised those who could only talk harshly but couldn't get things done.

Zhu Zaigui said expressionlessly: "This is really an unexpected ending for the students."

Gao Gong looked at Zhu Zaigui's expressionless face and listened to Zhu Zaigui say "accident", but no matter how he listened to it, it didn't sound like an accident, but rather a satire on someone.

Gao Gong said: "An Da is a rare hero in the grasslands, with a very strong character. Even so, An Da continued to request tribute in the 21st year of Jiajing. He sent Shi Tianjue, Man Shoutu, and Man Kehan ​​(Kenqie's son) to Datong to once again request "tribute."

"And let the envoys 'hold two command arrows and a plaque as a pledge, and ask for tribute and trade. If the first request is rejected, then ask again, and if the second request is rejected, then ask a third time.' They also clearly told the people that if the third request is rejected, then they will use 300,000 troops to attack the Ming towns in Shanxi in two directions."

"The imperial court was indifferent to Altan's threats, and sent the governor of Datong, Long Dayou, to capture Shi Tianjue, and to kill Manshoutu and Mankehan. Shi Tianjue and Kenqie were tortured to death in the downtown area, and their heads were sent to the nine borders. Altan, as he had said before, launched a large-scale attack on Shanxi in June, entered Taiyuan, and marched to southern Shanxi. In just two months, he plundered ten guards and thirty-eight counties, killed and captured more than 300,000 men and women, 2 million cattle, sheep, pigs and livestock, and took away clothes, bags and money. He burned 80,000 public and private houses and trampled hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland."

After hearing this, Zhu Zaigui clenched his fists involuntarily.

At this time, Zhu Zaigui's veins bulged, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he was extremely angry.

In Zhu Zaigui's view, these ten guards, 300,000 people in 38 counties, 2 million cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, as well as 80,000 public and private houses and hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland did not need to suffer this disaster at all.

The imperial court could have simply dragged out the talks while negotiating. If it really didn't want to pay tribute, it could have used the time for the talks to mobilize enough troops and keep guard over the border at all times.

However, the imperial court not only did not talk about it, but also acted like a hot-blooded teenager. Not only did they kill people, but they also had no sense of defense and allowed Altan to march straight into Shanxi and launch a massive attack, burning, killing and looting for more than two months.

Isn't this just harming the people of Shanxi?

How innocent are they?
Zhu Zaigui slammed the table and growled, "Asshole! Is this how you treat the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Gao Gong looked at the angry Zhu Zaigui and said soothingly: "Your Highness, please don't be angry. After Alda's robbery, the court raised the reward for Alda to 10,000 gold."

After hearing this, Zhu Zaigui almost laughed out of anger.

What if he mentioned one million? Even if he said he would kill Anda and be crowned king, what would that matter?
This is obviously just lip service, and it does not bring any benefit to the people in the nine border areas.

They were born and lived in the Nine Frontiers. They were not like those big men in the capital who could only talk big. They could live a good life with singing and dancing while speaking passionate and enthusiastic words.

They are the poor people who will suffer directly from the disaster caused by Andada's border invasion.

As a result, the imperial court not only failed to protect them properly, but also caused them to suffer disasters again and again.

This is totally unjust!

Zhu Zaigui took a deep breath and asked again: "What about now?"

Gao Gong said: "Recently, Altan and others led troops to Xuanfu and fought with our army, and requested tribute again. This time, in order to prevent the envoy from being detained and killed, Altan ordered the soldiers to tie the letter to the end of the arrow and shoot it into our camp. To show his sincerity, he returned the looted people and said, 'I couldn't get the tribute, so I robbed them repeatedly. If you agree to pay tribute, you must restrain the tribes and not violate the border.' If you don't agree to pay tribute, then 'I will come back in autumn and cross the border to rob the capital.'" Zhu Zaigui laughed again when he heard this.

Zhu Zaigui said, "It is already autumn, and Anda has not come yet. I wonder how the officials of the court are going to deal with this time? Are they going to continue to fight to the death, or are they going to wait for Anda to enter the pass and seize my capital?"

After saying this, Zhu Zaigui instantly thought of an important historical event!
That is the Gengxu Change!
Zhu Zaigui quickly asked Gao Gong: "What year is this year?"

Gao Gong was obviously stunned by this question, but he still replied: "The year of Yiyou."

Zhu Zaigui silently recited "Yiyou" twice. However, although he had traveled through time for almost half a year, he was still not familiar with the use of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches calendar.

Zhu Zaiqi asked again: "What about next year?"

Gao Gong didn't understand, but he still replied, "The Gengxu year."

When Zhu Zaigui heard the Gengxu year, he couldn't help but take a breath.

What the hell!
Zhu Zaigui immediately felt that he had been deceived. Wasn’t the Gengxu year the year when Anda besieged the capital during the Jiajing period?

No wonder I was able to buy such a large piece of land in Shunyi so smoothly. It turned out that someone already had a "premonition"!
At this time, Zhu Zaigui no longer cared about the rules that Gao Gong followed during his lectures.

Zhu Zaigui stood up and walked outside the study room and shouted, "Meng Chong, come here! I have something to ask you!"

Meng Chong, who was waiting outside the study, suddenly heard Zhu Zaigui's voice and hurried in from outside to the small courtyard where the study was located.

"My Lord, I am here."

Meng Chong was also a little nervous. He couldn't understand why his prince would suddenly call him at this time.

You have to know that under normal circumstances, as long as Gao Gong came to give lectures, Zhu Zaigui, no matter how busy he was, would postpone all things and deal with them only after Gao Gong finished the lecture.

Zhu Zaigui asked: "Whose land did we buy in Shunyi?"

Meng Chong shrank his head and whispered back, "Most of them are from the Xianning Marquis family."

When Zhu Zaigui heard that it was from the Xianning Marquis family, he was so angry that he laughed again.

If I remember correctly, this Marquis of Xianning should be Qiu Luan.

It seems that when this bastard was serving as the general of Datong, in order to prevent Alda from attacking on his territory, he bribed Alda, causing Alda to bypass Datong and march eastward to invade the capital. In the end, the place where Alda robbed the most severely seemed to be Shunyi.

When he thought of this, Zhu Zaigui was furious!
Putting aside all the empty talk about national hatred and family feuds, just talking about Zhu Zaigui’s current investment in Shunyi, he felt as if he was hit by a club!
Zhu Zaigui laughed angrily: "Great, great, you have plotted against me! Do you really think I am made of mud?"

Zhu Zaigui's reaction shocked Meng Chong and Gao Gong behind him.

This was the first time they saw Zhu Zaigui so angry.

Faced with Zhu Zaigui's anger, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts and felt a hint of fear.

Asking for votes is not too much, right?
