My father is Jiajing

Chapter 135 The enemy is in Gubeikou?
In the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing had a sleepless night since he learned that the Tatar army of Altan had arrived at Gubeikou in Jizhen. This night was undoubtedly a torment for Emperor Jiajing. He had been waiting in the Wanshou Palace for battle reports from the front line.

But after a night, there was still no useful battle report, which made Emperor Jiajing a little exhausted. Huang Jinshou looked at Emperor Jiajing's haggard appearance after a sleepless night and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, please take a rest. Your immortal body is more important. I will help you keep an eye on it. If there is any news from the front line, I will call you as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiajing looked back at Huang Jin and couldn't help but reveal a tired and helpless smile, "I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still have such an embarrassing moment."

Seeing the tired and helpless smile of Emperor Jiajing, Huang Jin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please do not think like that. This may be a tempering of your mind from heaven. The Tatars are just clowns. How dare they really attack the Ming Dynasty? They are just bluffing and deliberately intimidating."

"Now that the imperial edicts and golden medals have been issued, all generals must fight hard to repay the kindness of their emperor and father. With such a united army, even if the Tatars are capable of rebellion, the emperor can suppress them with his hands!"

After listening to Huang Jin's words, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but feel a little better. He stretched his stiff body and said with a smile, "You are the servant who can talk. I will sleep for a while. Wake me up as soon as there is any news."

When Huang Jin heard that Emperor Jiajing was finally going to rest, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He was afraid that Emperor Jiajing would get too anxious and become sick.

"Your Majesty, have a good rest. I will keep watch over you."

Although Huang Jin was very tired, his loyalty allowed him to persist in his spirit and serve Emperor Jiajing loyally.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing did not continue to be hypocritical. He also knew that there would be no further military reports for the time being. Instead of being anxious here, it would be better to maintain a normal schedule and look at this matter with the right spirit and attitude, so that he could fight against the enemy with his own troops and block the water with his own earth.

Only in this way can one be said to be in accordance with the law of reincarnation and is in line with the path to immortality that Emperor Jiajing was pursuing.

Jizhen is about forty or fifty miles outside Gubeikou.

The army of Anda and the cavalry of the Three Doyan Guards gathered together. After a night of rest, the army of Anda and the cavalry of the Three Doyan Guards who led the way had all shaken off their fatigue. They were all in high spirits and waiting for the Khan's order, ready to rush into Gubeikou at any time and plunder the Han capital.

When they thought of the wealth and women in the Han capital, everyone couldn't help but roar like wolves.

At this moment, a group of generals had gathered in Anda's tent and were discussing how to break through the Gubeikou Great Wall guarded by the Ming army and teach Taoist Jiajing a lesson.

Anda sat in the first seat, while Tuotuo, Sengge, and Yingke of the three Doyan guards were standing around him.

Tuotuo said to Anda excitedly: "Great Khan, please give the order. I will definitely win the first place for you and take Gubeikou into my pocket."

Anda was in a good mood and laughed, "At this moment, the Ming army inside the Great Wall must be in a state of panic. We can rest here for a night. They will probably have a sleepless night and guard against us all night."

"But we still can't be careless. The Ming people rely on the advantage of the Great Wall and use firearms to dominate our army. We must guard against this. After all, this place is different from the Xuanda line. After all, this place is an important place in the Han capital. Whether it is personnel, troops or weapons and equipment, it will be stronger than Xuanda." "So we can't take chances and suffer a big loss under the Great Wall at this last moment."

After listening to Anda's words, Tuotuo said nonchalantly: "Great Khan, the Han people are all good-for-nothings, and our army is nearly 200,000 strong. Can we really be afraid of them? Even if we fill it up, we can fill up the Great Wall. Then, won't their capital be under our control? Maybe we can even cut off the emperor's dog head and make a wine vessel."

The extremely arrogant Tuotuo did not take the defenders of Gubeikou seriously at all. In his eyes, the wealth within the Great Wall was already in his pocket and he could take it away at any time.

Anda also knew that Tuotuo had such an arrogant and violent temper, so he did not blame Tuotuo for such arrogant words.

Anda looked at Yingke standing aside and asked, "You have been in Liaodong for a long time and have a close relationship with the Han people. Now that my army has arrived at the Great Wall, do you know where it is easier to break through?"

The three Doyan guards, which were once powerful, have now been completely conquered by Anda and changed into the "Liaoyang Army", so Yingke has no psychological burden of betraying the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, they had never shown true loyalty to the Ming Dynasty since their ancestors. Even when they accompanied Emperor Yongle in the rebellion, the relationship between them was nothing more than a cooperative vassal relationship, which was not very compulsory.

Moreover, it has been 150 years since the Yongle era. During these 150 years, the Ming Dynasty has changed countless emperors, and the Three Guards of Doyan have never received any benefits from the Ming Dynasty. When they were invaded by Altan, the Ming Dynasty did not help them.

So it is easy to understand Yingke’s mentality now. He is a fence-sitter and will serve whoever is stronger.

Yingke walked to a simple military map hanging in the big tent and said, "Now that our army is at Gubeikou, the Ming army will definitely defend the Gubeikou Great Wall. If we attack by force, we will definitely encounter stubborn resistance from the Ming army, and our losses will be extremely heavy."

"So I suggest that the Khan send a brave cavalry to feint an attack on Gubeikou, giving the Ming army the illusion that our main force is going to break through Gubeikou, and attracting a large number of defenders on the Great Wall to come here to defend."

"Then we will lead our main force around to the Pigeon Cave west of Gubeikou and break through from Huangyugou. By then, the Han people will be thrown into disarray, and we can march straight to the capital!"

Yingke pointed to an inconspicuous place name on the map, and Anda couldn't help but stand up from his seat and look over with a serious expression.

He knew very little about the terrain in this area, and the military maps of this era were also very crude. He could not see any advantages of a surprise attack from the Pigeon Cave, so at this time, Anda could not help but ask, "Is the Pigeon Cave okay?"

Yingke assured, "Don't worry, Khan. As long as we can attract the main force of the Ming army to Gubeikou, Pigeon Cave will definitely work. Once we break through here, when the Ming army reacts and wants to encircle us, we can also wait for them to tire themselves out and destroy a wave of the main force of the Ming army. Then we can move unimpeded from Miyun to Huairou, Changping and other places, and the capital will be in sight!"
