Chapter 1159 Charity and Kindness
After the rain stopped, the sky was blue as it was washed by the clouds. A bright sun was hanging in the sky. The oncoming wind was mixed with a faint smell of blood. Half an hour ago, the battle was over. Altan led only more than 20,000 remaining soldiers to flee, and the Tatar Khan Court completely fell into the hands of the Ming army.
At this time, the Ming army was cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner, treating the wounded soldiers, and cleaning them carefully by a dedicated person, putting away the tripping horses and nails.
Speaking of which, since Altan sieges the city two years ago, Jiajing and Xu Jin and the kings and ministers began to plan and completely solve the major problem of Tatars, the northern part. The tripping horses and nails were a killing weapon tailor-made by Xu Jin for the Tatar cavalry.
It is worth mentioning here that He Zhier is indeed a talented genius in military industry. She can create anything that Xu Jin can think of as long as the current craftsmanship allows. The tripping horse nailing is provided by Xu Jin, and then He Zhier spent half a year to create it.
He Zhier successfully developed a trippy nail in April last year. After two months of repeated testing and modification, it was finally decided, and then handed over to the Ministry of War for mass production.
The length and width of a tripod-horse nail are two meters, and can cover four square meters of ground. Usually, the nails are in a lodging state and can be rolled up like a carpet for easy transportation. When used, you only need to unblock it and put it into use, which is very convenient and fast.
The principle of tripping horse nails is very simple, but in the Ming Dynasty it was definitely considered a precision high-tech product. It consumes iron materials and has very high quality requirements for the iron materials used. Otherwise, it would not withstand repeated tramplings of horse hooves, so the cost is very expensive. A tripping horse nail that is two meters square is more than 300 taels of silver, which is more than thirty times that of a flintlock rifle.
Because of this, when Jiajing was going to mass-produce triple horses and nails, the ministers opposed it all. The Minister of Revenue Qin Jin didn't need to say that even the big men of the Ministry of War disagreed. In their opinion, spending 300 taels of silver to make an "iron carpet" that doesn't matter whether it's useful or not is extremely stupid. With this money, it's better to build more flintlock rifles and Flang machine cannons.
In the end, Jiajing was so hard that he was furious that the ministers reluctantly agreed to create a thousand tripping nails. Despite this, Qin Jin, the God of Wealth of the Ministry of Revenue, was still stingy and allocated 250,000 silver to the Military Weapon Bureau in three times. The remaining 50,000 taels were unwilling to leave. Jiajing was too lazy to argue with this iron rooster and directly paid 50,000 taels of silver from his own treasury. When Qin Caishen saw that the emperor had paid his own pocket, he felt at ease not to mention the issue of allocating the silver. It probably was the idea of Jiajing's inner treasury at the beginning, which made Jiajing so angry that he was so angry that he was very angry.
At the beginning of this year, just before Xu Jin led his troops to the Northern Expedition, a thousand squat horse platoons were finally created, and Xu Jin brought all his forehead. In today's battle, these squat horse platoons really shone brightly and made extraordinary achievements. It is estimated that when Xu Jin's victory was sent back to the capital, the ministers who had opposed mass platoons would have to shut up.
In the evening, the battlefield was almost cleaned up. Xu Jin entered Yuan Shangdu surrounded by the generals and his personal soldiers. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty flag had been replaced on the top of the city, and the city defense was taken over by the Ming army. Xu Jin was still dressed in a literati, wearing a square flat scarf, and was riding calmly on the back of the horse's moonlight. The soldiers around him were like stars surround the moon, with a flying spirit.
In today's battle, the Ming army defeated Altan's 100,000 cavalry, killed nearly 30,000 people, captured more than 10,000 prisoners, and seized countless cattle, sheep and horses. Conservatively estimated to be nearly one million. After all, the Chahar Khan Court was equivalent to the capital of the Tatars and was quite rich. In addition, the Ming army also rescued more than 50,000 Han slaves, most of which were the Ming people who were abducted when Altan siege the city two years ago.
Let’s talk about Xu Jin, surrounded by the generals, came along the street to the palace city. He saw Yisana coming up angrily and frowned.
Although Xu Jin's personal soldiers knew Yisana, the latter looked bad and carried weapons at the moment, so he was stopped just over ten meters away.
Isana said angrily: "Get out of the way, this county mainly meets your commander."
"We are the general who can see us as soon as you want? Get off the horse quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" Zhao Datou rolled his eyes and shouted sternly. The other personal soldiers next to him also pressed the handle of the knife, staring at Yisana indifferently.
Chilu Buhua next to him quickly smiled and said, "General Zhao, don't get me wrong. The princess just asked to see Duke Jingguo in urgent need of an emergency."
Zhao Datou curled his lips and said, "I thought Princess Isana was here to assassinate. It turned out to be a request for a visit!"
Isana felt a little nervous, and she turned over and dismounted in disappointment, hung the scimitar in her hand on Desheng hook, and said coldly: "I have something to do to see Duke Yasukuni."
Zhao Datou was happy and laughed and said, "This is almost the same, but if you ask to see me, our Grandmaster may not want to see you."
"Bigou, let her come over!" Xu Jin said in a harmonious voice.
Zhao Datou made way when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "The Grandmaster asked you to go there, please ask Your Highness."
Yisana snorted coldly, walked to Xu Jin's horse, and first glanced at Xie Sanqin on the horse next to her angrily. Xie Sanqin couldn't help but mutter in his heart, could this silly girl complain to my brother-in-law for destroying the Crystal Palace? Can she sue it?
Isana said with a tense face: "Duke Jingguo, your subordinates have moved all the property in my Tatar Palace. What does this mean? Our sister and sister asked the Ming army to help restore the country, but it was not for you to loot. Those property must be returned to us."
Xu Jin said with a look of surprise: "The army under my command has always been strict in military discipline and never raped and plundered. What happened?"
"Pretending, just keep pretending!" Yisana sneered in her heart, pointed to the military supervisor Huang Jin beside Xu Jin and said, "It is him who commanded the Ming army to plunder all the property in our Tatar Palace City. Come back quickly."
Huang Jin sneered and said, "Princess Yisana, you can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. When will our family plunder your property?"
Isana said angrily: "I have seen it with my own eyes, but you still dare to deny it. Now I know where those assets are stored."
Xu Jin coughed lightly and said, "Eunuch Huang, is there any such incident?"
Huang Jin said with confidence: "Your Majesty Jingguo, our family did order people to move a batch of property from the warehouse of the palace city, but those were stolen by Altan from my Ming Dynasty two years ago. Now they are just the property returned to the original owner. How can it be considered a loot?"
Xu Jin nodded after hearing this and said righteously: "Princess Yisana, the year before yesterday, Altan and Lingzun Bodi Khan went south to invade our Ming Dynasty. Not only did they capture 100,000 people from the Ming Dynasty, but they also plundered a large amount of property everywhere. As far as the master of my country knows, Altan gave all these property to Bodi Khan. Now that Eunuch Huang moved these property from the palace city of your country, it is indeed just the property that returns to the original owner."
Isana was speechless. As far as she knew, the warehouse in the palace city did store a batch of wealth that had been snatched from the Ming Dynasty two years ago, but that was only a small part. However, the dead eunuch Huang Jin ordered people to move the warehouse all over, and even the valuable ornaments in the palace city were empty.
When Huang Jin saw Yisana, he couldn't help but say proudly: "Princess Yisana, Ling Zun led a 130,000 army to invade our Ming Dynasty two years ago, burning, killing and plundering our Ming Dynasty. Now, I, the Ming Dynasty, have no grudges and sent troops to restore your country to your brothers. If you don't want to be grateful, you're even slandering people and slandering our family. It's really disheartening."
Isana's face turned red and white with anger. If there was an aunt's scarf at this time, she would probably take it out without hesitation and throw it hard on the face of the dead eunuch. However, as the saying goes, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. Knowing that the other party is playing a scoundrel, they can only endure it and say angrily: "Then...then the things in our Tatar Palace cannot be all from your Ming Dynasty, right?"
Xu Jin immediately said righteously: "Eunuch Huang, go back and take Princess Isana to see. If it can be confirmed that it is indeed something from the Tatar Palace, one item is counted as another, and you will return it all."
"Yes!" Huang Jin was so happy in his heart that he agreed. Can it be confirmed? What can we rely on to prove it? If our family can ask you Isana to retrieve something, our family will not be named Huang.
After all, Isana was just an 18-year-old girl. She could not hear the mystery of Xu Jin's words. She was so happy when she heard this. Seeing Xu Jin also felt kind-hearted and bowed, "Thank you Princess Jingguo for justice."
Huang Jin's mouth tilted, and she was very happy!
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Prince Yisana is polite. My country's Duke has always paid attention to fairness and justice in his work. Huh, it's not appropriate to go. Please take Princess Yisana to claim the property now."
Isana was a little embarrassed at this time, waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's almost dark now. I can trust Duke Jingguo. By the way, Altan has been beaten away and the Khan court has been restored. As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I want to take the door map back as soon as possible to inherit the Khan throne. What is the intention of Duke Jingguo?"
Xie Sanqi couldn't help but be speechless. This silly girl had a bad IQ and was still playing tricks in front of her brother-in-law, afraid that she would have to count the money for her brother-in-law if she was sold.
I saw Jin Yibing serious and said, "What Princess Isana said is that the country cannot be without a king for a day. It is time to take the door map back and inherit the throne of Khan as soon as possible. Well, when I look back, I will write to the emperor to convey the princess's meaning."
Yisana was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed. Obviously, she didn't expect Xu Jin to agree so readily. At this time, she felt more and more that our Duke Jingdao was very friendly, and she happily bowed: "It's my duty, Duke Jingdao!"
Xu Jin smiled slightly: "Since you want to come back to inherit the Khan position, you have to stabilize the Khan Court first. Therefore, it is best for Princess Yisa to come forward to calm the people's hearts during this period."
