Two or three thousand Ming army cavalry were chasing ten or twenty thousand Mongolian cavalry all over the mountains and plains!

This is not fake, it happened right in front of Shi Yongzhen's eyes!

At the same time, the light artillery on Baideng Mountain was transported down the mountain, stopped on a small slope, and swallowed flames far below the town.

Countless shells hit the advancing Mongolian battle formation, plowing out a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In the rear, the returning Ming army led by Zhang Wanbang had set up an ambush at the foot of Baideng Mountain to defeat the main force of Dulong Sengge's Tumote Department, chasing the defeated troops and killing them here.

Except for the cavalry who were chasing at the front, the Ming army was all infantry, but there were a lot of them. There were 5 to [-] people chasing and killing them all over the mountains and plains!

Lindan Batur was riding on a horse, and was about to excitedly order to attack the town and plunder, but suddenly something happened behind him, and he heard a news that he didn't expect at all.

Tumut is defeated!

The [-] Tumed cavalry led by Dulong Sengge were ambushed by Zhang Wanbang on the Dengbai official road. Although the entire army was not wiped out, they suffered heavy losses and were completely dispersed!

The rout of Tumed's troops lost the slightest will to fight, and they were defeated like a mountain!

They didn't care about how many Ming troops were chasing behind them, they just ran wildly, and when they saw the Mongolian battle formation that was attacking the city in front of them, they rushed forward as if seeing a savior.

Zhang Wanbang led his men to deliberately drive Tumed's rout here, and it really worked.

Seeing such a scene, the Ming army followed the footsteps of Tumed's defeated troops, along with artillery fire and lead bullets, and smashed Lindan Batur's Mongolian battle formation in one fell swoop!

Chapter 465 It's All About Me

In winter, Taiye Pond was frozen stiff, and for Zhu Youxiao, there was a new joy-skating!

Zhu Youxiao took Zhang Yan to the Taiye Pool for ice skating that day. Zhang Yan is usually a quiet person. Although she was very curious, she still smiled and said no.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let the queen go this time, and it was the first time that he was interested in pulling Zhang Yan out of the Qianqing Palace, saying that he would teach her hand in hand.

Unexpectedly, they stumbled and fell together.

"Hahaha, Queen, you are so stupid!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the panting figure lying on his chest, and couldn't help but laugh.

"The concubine said no, no, no, Your Majesty insisted on teaching me!"

Falling down in front of so many palace people and lying on the emperor's body, Zhang Yan immediately blushed, broke free and was about to leave.

"Hey, I won't let you go." Zhu Youxiao quickly stood up, grabbed Zhang Yan on the ice, held her in his arms, and said with a smirk:

"Do you dare not listen to my words, dare you not listen to the emperor's words?"

While talking, Zhu Youxiao's lips were getting closer to Zhang Yan, and with heavy breathing, the two kissed in the palace.

The little eunuchs and maids around all covered their mouths and snickered. Although the manager pretended to be strict, he himself was also curious, staring at him with lowered eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, refusing to move his eyes away.

"Great victory, Your Majesty, great victory in Datong!"

The two had just separated when Zhu Youxiao heard a burst of excited shouts behind him.

As the footsteps got closer, a young eunuch who reported the message stopped, and was also stunned when he saw the situation of the two of them.

"Talk!" Zhu Youxiao didn't turn his head back, and continued to drag Zhang Yan to skate in Taiye Pond. After finishing speaking, he stumbled together again.

"You read your good news! I don't believe it, I can't teach the queen today!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up, as if with all his strength, stood up and taught Zhang Yan how to ice-skate in Taiye Pond. This kind of happiness is rare in the palace.

"Chen Datong's general Zhang Wanbang played:

Lindan Batur, the Khan of the Chahar tribe, invaded our border, destroyed the border towns and entered, burned and killed wantonly, captured our border people, and besieged towns and cities.

In order to break the siege of the town, the minister led [-] cavalry infantry to confront it on the Dengbai official road and broke it.

The minister observed the situation from the shape, and the cavalry infantry concealed the kill and pursued. The city guard Shi Yongzhen also attacked at this time, and the two cooperated to break Lindanbatur under the town.

This campaign depends entirely on His Majesty's majesty, the soldiers will use their lives, and the ministers will make great achievements with a little adjustment.Totally beheaded more than [-] captives, captured tens of thousands of fine horses, and defeated more than [-] enemies.

Respect Your Majesty! "

After reading, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around in disbelief, "Win? Zhang Wanbang has already won?"

"Without waiting for the reinforcements from the Xuan Mansion to arrive, Zhang Wanbang won the battle by himself?"

"What a Zhang Wanbang, what a Datong Army!"

Zhu Youxiao was still worried a few days ago. It is said that there are more than [-] Mongolian cavalry who entered the bandits. Such things have been repeated in history, and there is no way to solve them.

If he doesn't hurt him this time, I'm afraid he will dare to go south next winter!

What people never expected was that Zhang Wanbang actually led the Datong Army to defeat the Mongolian soldiers mainly composed of cavalry, so the next step would be easy. We must continue to fight until Lin Dan Batur knew it would hurt!

Let the Monan Mongols headed by the Chahar tribe know who is the last person they should not provoke now!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Yan, said a few words of comfort, and then jumped out of Taiye Pond, saying: "You guys continue to skate with the queen, and you are not allowed to leave if you don't learn."

"Decree, order Zhang Wanbang to lead the elite of the Datong Army to Beijing immediately, and I want to inspect the elite soldiers on the frontier!"

……

The news of the good news came, and the capital was boiling.

The great victory in Datong severely thwarted Lin Dan Batur's ambitions, boosted the morale of the army, and greatly dealt a blow to the vital forces of Monan Mongolia.

At the very least, the Xitumote Department suffered heavy damage, and now it is no longer able to occupy Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain.

Now is the time for Daming to expand its territory!

Half a month after the good news, the cabinet received the imperial letter from Zhu Youxiao. The clerk announced the latest holy will of Emperor Tianqi under the astonished eyes of all the scholars.

"The great victory of Great Harmony, I am very happy. I have felt refreshed in the past few days. From now on, the regular court will resume. I will watch every three days. I will discuss military and state affairs with the ministers. Let the gentlemen know."

The current chief assistant of the cabinet is Wei Guangwei.

After Han Yu resigned and returned to his hometown, Wei Guangwei finally succeeded in being promoted to the position of chief assistant, an extremely personable minister, and left his name in history, that's all.

Now in the cabinet, all the candidates were appointed by Zhu Youxiao after the major imperial examination case.

Many courtiers understood that Emperor Tianqi wiped out most of the power of the Donglin Party in the court in one fell swoop by virtue of the major imperial examination case, and now the Eunuch Party has somewhat dominated the situation.

If it weren't for the emperor's strength, the eunuch party would have covered the sky with only one hand.

Although the prestige of Donglin scholars is still not small among the people, in the military computer room and the cabinet, the two power centers are already the emperor's people.

When the official clerk left, the cabinet ministers gathered together to discuss.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. The old man thought that the Chang Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty would never be seen again, but he didn't realize it. When the news of Datong's victory came, His Majesty was happy and restored it."

"Congratulations, it's double happiness now!"

"Happy together."

The academicians were talking and congratulating each other, but Wei Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet, smiled and said nothing. He knew in his heart that the court would be restored sooner or later.

Chang Chao was originally dismissed, using Tianhan's excuse. At that time, Donglin was very powerful, and the emperor just ended Chang Chao in order to weaken its influence.

Now that the Donglin in the court has disappeared with the big imperial examination case, it is natural to find an excuse to resume watching the court so as to better control the court.

What's more, half of the current imperial court is ministers of the eunuch party. If the government is not restored, the emperor's control of the court will not depend entirely on the eunuch party.

He had expected that Chang Chao would resume, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

He understood these words in his heart, but once he said them, he was more or less pretending to be smart. In front of the emperor, showing off his cleverness was a big taboo.

Not only the cabinet, among the six ministries, each has a department, and even various teahouses and wine shops in the capital city, there is a lot of applause on this day.

The restoration of the Chang Dynasty is really a major event at the beginning of the fourth year of the Apocalypse.

Since the 47th year of Wanli, the Changchao Heri Talk, the Emperor Tianqi did not even hold the Dachaohui except for major events.

This also led to the fact that most of the ministers and workers did not see the emperor a few times during the year.

Now that it's all right, they can once again persuade His Majesty face to face during the three-day viewing, and they have the right to participate in military and state affairs again.

The six ministries and courts were overjoyed by this event, and the officials also found out the court clothes that had been dusty for many years, and ordered their wives to wash them carefully for the three days before the court.

To tell the truth, many people have been officials in Beijing for many years, and they have never been as happy as they are today. Even going to court will be nervous.

At this time, a large army stopped at the gate of the city.

The generals of the Yongwei Battalion guarding the Yongding Gate saw that the army marched in unison and prohibited orders, and immediately felt a little in awe of the leading generals.

He took a step forward and shouted loudly:

"Stop those who come, troops from other places are not allowed to enter the capital without an edict!"

The opposing general was also very honest, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "The last general, Zhang Wanbang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, has entered Beijing by order, please report it!"

Chapter 466 Completion of the Three Great Halls

"It turned out to be Zhang Shuai, who has admired his name for a long time!"

Zhang Wanbang was originally a famous general, and he was one of the seven town commanders who aided Liaodong in the battle of Liaodong. Now that he has won a great victory in Datong, his prestige will naturally spread throughout the army.

Zhang Wanbang was somewhat excited when he heard that even the members of the Yongwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army knew his name. Of course, besides secretly delighted, he didn't dare to make any big moves. He clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"It's not a big name. This campaign depends on the soldiers' lives. Your Majesty is well dispatched!"

It can be seen that the sense of survival is still very strong.

"Please come in!" The guard of the Yongding Gate of the Yongwei Battalion laughed a few times, stepped aside, and said in a slightly embarrassed way: "But the Datong Army cannot enter the capital until the order of His Majesty is issued. This is a regulation. Please be considerate!"

"It doesn't matter, the development of the capital is very good now, and there is a city outside the city, like a small town, it's better to rest here than before." Zhang Wanbang didn't care, turned around and ordered to Qu Jiazhen behind him:

"General Qu, you should lead the troops to build a barracks in a remote place, take a rest, and go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit in this town. Remember not to disturb the people."

This time Zhang Wanbang came with Qu Jiazhen, the general of the Guangchang Battalion, and Xu Shouhui, the deputy commander, stayed in the town to carry out post-war recovery and inspect the people's livelihood.

With an order, the front team of the Datong Army changed to the rear team, all turned around, and marched along the official road to the capital to an area farther away from the houses.

Many people already had the feeling of country people going to the city. When they heard that they were going to Beijing to be inspected by the emperor, many people were very excited.

In particular, their commander-in-chief was personally summoned and valued by the current emperor. This is the honor that warriors seek all their lives!

Zhang Wanbang was still on his way to the palace, but Zhu Youxiao met Wei Zhongxian in Xinuange.

The current Wei Zhongxian looks somewhat old.

Since Donglin was purged from the court, Wei Zhongxian became more and more low-key.

He knew in his heart that Donglin and himself complemented each other, once one of them fell, the other would become the target of public criticism.

There are many eunuch officials in the court, because Zhu Youxiao has turned his eyes and closed his eyes these years, and the local officials promoted by Wei Zhongxian are even more countless.

Wang Hai, the governor of water transportation who was investigated before, is a microcosm of it.

"It's Zhongxian, what's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao looked down at Zuoshu with a blank expression on his face. Since then, he has become more and more indifferent to Wei Zhongxian.

At this time, if you give Wei Zhongxian a good face, then he will definitely go away. Wei Zhongxian is very comfortable in making money and doing things. Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to do anything to him, so he can only be as indifferent as possible!

With Wei Zhongxian's temperament, only in this way can he be honest.

Of course, Donglin has fallen, and Wei Zhongxian's power should gradually be weakened, and all the government should be taken back into his own hands.

With joy on his face, Wei Zhongxian cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, the three major halls and palaces have all been repaired. Don't you want to see the court in three days? Now the Emperor's Great Hall is extremely powerful, and it can be used for this purpose."

Zhu Youxiao put down the brush when he heard the words, and said with a smile:

"Thank you Zhongxian. After this time, the palace will be completely renovated. This huge project depends entirely on your hard work."

Wei Zhongxian quickly knelt down and said:

"Compared to His Majesty's work day and night for state affairs, the servants are nothing. All their lives, the servants only know how to do things for His Majesty and the royal family."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao sneered from the bottom of his heart.

Naturally, Wei Zhongxian could see that his attitude towards him had changed during this time, and he was afraid that he would take care of him by himself, so he showed his loyalty by taking advantage of the completion of the three main halls!

Zhu Youxiao didn't send anyone to find Wei Zhongxian during this time, just to see if he had the vision, so he sent someone over himself.

Well now, he's here in person.

Now that you're here, you should talk about it carefully, and you should ask him back for everything I gave you!

"Although the weather is cold recently, I feel more and more physically strong and energetic..." After some useless nonsense, Zhu Youxiao changed the subject, seemingly unintentionally:

"Zhongxian, I see, you don't need to help me manage the cabinet affairs in the future, and send all the notebooks back to the Qianqing Palace."

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down and said:
