November 3rd.

The day after Chenxi entered Juyongguan, the news that the Yibula tribe had failed in the area north of Juyongguan reached the large tent of the Tatar Khan tribe outside the capital, and the Tatar high-level officials were immediately in anger.

In the Tatars' combat plan, the Yibula tribe was the backbone of attacking Juyongguan. Even if Juyongguan cannot be captured for the time being, he would never be defeated and allowed the Ming Dynasty's troops on the front line of Juyongguan to be revitalized.

Dayan Khan Batumonk urgently summoned the generals of the Dayan tribe and the patriarchs of various tribes to advance to the tent in Nanyuan. The main content of the discussion was how to deal with the Ming army on the front line of Juyongguan.

"...Yibula is a waste. We fought with the Ming army and won victory after victory, but he was defeated and dragged everyone down. If he hadn't even known life and death now, he really wanted to arrest him and convict him! The Ming army continued to occupy Juyong Pass, and the troops on the three sides of the Ming Dynasty could successfully withdraw from Dadu. If we could not break Dadu in a short period of time, the situation would change from active to passive!"

The speaker was about 20 years old, with a solid figure and a beard, and looked very rough. His name was Urus Borot, who was the second son of Batumonk and had a high status in the Khan tribe. After all, he was born by Mrs. Haichechen, Mandu, and belonged to the direct bloodline of the Golden Family. Although he was not the first heir to the Khan, he had a high voice in the army.

Most of the people who were relied on by Batumonk before were Manduhai, his father and his uncle, but over the years, he began to gradually use new people in the civil strife of the grassland and the internal purge of the Dayan tribe. His sons, including Urus Borot, have all entrusted important tasks.

Of course, what Batumonk most wanted was to arrange his son to the major tribes of the grassland to serve as patriarchs, so that the grassland would belong to the Golden Family. The situation where the leader of the largest tribe in the Wala was forced to the Khan as the "Taishi" would never happen again.

But this was strongly opposed by Yibula, Yisimayin and others, so Batumonk also had sharp conflicts with the patriarchs of several large tribes. Batumonk hoped to use the "peaceful evolution" method to let his son replace the patriarchs of the major tribes of Tatar, but how could the patriarchs of each tribe easily submit?

Previously, Batumonk intended to let Urus Borot take over as the leader of the Yongsebu tribe, but he did not do it as he wished. The leader of the Yongsebu tribe was Yibula. Therefore, Urus Borot hated Yibula very deeply. After learning that Yibula led his army to be defeated, he immediately took the blame.

Because of the power disputes on the grassland, the tribe leaders of the tribes present did not dare to make any comments casually. In addition, Batumonk was silent, and the central army camp was quiet.

Seeing that everyone was not speaking, Urus Borot took the initiative to come out and asked: "Father Khan, please allow the child to lead the elite troops to break through Dadu and correct the reputation of the orthodox of the Yuan Dynasty. As long as the capital is in the capital, the Ming army will have no fighting spirit. The area north of the Yellow River will re-enter the hands of my Yuan Dynasty. If you manage it well for a few years, it is also very likely to unify the world!"

Although Urus Borot was brave and good at fighting, he did not have any outstanding achievements and could not gain the recognition of many patriarchs. The central army's tent was still silent.

Batumonk finally spoke: "The battle against Dadu is urgent, but Urus is not suitable for taking on this important task. It is better to be your guard commander!"

“Why?”

Urus Borot seemed very dissatisfied.

Susuha, the general of the Dayan tribe, said: "The two princes have their own subordinates in the army, not to mention that there has been a conclusion before, and the eldest prince will lead troops to attack the capital!"

Susuha is Batumonk's right-hand man, as Batumonk's cousin and also a close confidant of Dayan Khan's eldest son Tulu Borot.

Not only were there frequent internal conflicts between the tribes of Mongolia, but even within the Dayan tribe, they were in a state where no one was convinced by each other. Even the brothers were secretly fighting for power and profit. It was only because Batumonk's prestige was very high that civil strife did not form.

Now Batumonk is facing two choices, either continue to besiege the capital of the Ming Dynasty or withdraw his troops.

Judging from all aspects, it is best to continue to besiege the capital of Daming. To eliminate the impact of defeat, you only need to send troops to guard Juyongguan to the important roads of the capital, and even go against the rules, draw troops to attack Juyongguan, so that the Ming army can't take care of themselves, so you will not be surprised if there is any change in the capital.

At present, the Tatar Central Army was not affected by the defeat of the Yibula tribe. Moreover, there were not many soldiers and horses in Juyongguan in the Ming Dynasty, so it would not have a fundamental impact on the situation in the capital no matter how you look at it.

In the end, Batumonk Qianggang made arbitrary decision and ordered the second prince Urus Borot to lead the 4,000 guards of the Qixue army to the south entrance, and to command the troops of several small tribes before. In this way, the Tatars had 10,000 troops south of Juyongguan, and the remaining 100,000 Tatar troops continued to besiege the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Batumonk looked around at the generals of the Dayan tribe in the central army's tent and the patriarchs of the grassland tribes attended, and said passionately: "The rise and fall of the Dayuan Yuan is here to make a move. After conquering Dadu, I will share with you the country, treasures, women, land and houses, and enjoy endlessly. Those who say ignorantly withdraw their troops will be dealt with as disturbing the morale of the army and beheaded in front of the tent!"

Seeing that the Khan was so determined, the leaders of the tribes below dared not say anything. Their idea was to try to have a mouthful of soup when eating meat in the Dayan tribe.

...

...

Since November 3, the defense pressure in Beijing has suddenly increased.

The Tatars began to spread the various gates of the capital for twelve hours a day, and the sentry secretly arranged in the previous few months also began to play a role in the capital of Daming. The generals and officials responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital were successively received by the Tatars according to their rights and responsibilities.

When the news was reported to the cabinet, Liu Jian was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "It's unreasonable. The martial law in the capital has been in the past few months. The Tatars should have been wiped out long ago. Why are there so many spies?"

Li Dongyang couldn't answer because he, like Liu Jian, had been in a state of unemployment for a long time.

Only Xie Qian muttered there: "It's probably related to the management of the Beijing camp by Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang!"

Xie Qian had a very thorough understanding of the shortcomings of martial law in the capital before and knew which link was wrong. It was just that Emperor Hongzhi trusted the Zhang brothers very much, and he lacked the determination to fight with the two uncles, so he could only let it go.

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty has been much better in the past two days. Is it necessary to report to Your Majesty for this?"

Liu Jian shook his head: "The problem has not been resolved yet, and reporting to Your Majesty is futile. It would be better to use the Nine City Military and Horses Office to search the capital in detail to prevent the Di Yi from making trouble. Yu Qiao, what do you think?"

Realizing that Xie Qian was a little absent-minded, Liu Jian asked more questions.

Xie Qian replied perfunctorily: "What decision does Young Master Liu have? I will do as I will, and I have no objection!"

Liu Jian looked at Xiong Xiu again. After confirming that no one objected to him, he took out paper and pen and made a detailed ticket: "Send the Nine City Military and Horses to search for Di Yi's detailed work, and there must be no mistakes!"

Because Zhu Youzhang's health has not yet been cured, he still cannot inquire about the defense of the capital, and the cabinet's opinions will still become the main tone of the final lie supervisor Zhu's criticism. Xiao Jing basically took a willing attitude on this issue and never expressed opposition to the opinions of several cabinet ministers.
