In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Tatar leader Li Da led his troops to attack Datong, and the generals Zhang Da and Lin Chun were killed in battle. Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, took the opportunity to recommend to the Jiajing Emperor his righteous son Qiu Luan as the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, in order to infiltrate his own henchmen in the military field.
But who knows, Qiu Luan really didn't want to go, although he was a descendant of the famous general Marquis Qiu Of Xianning, but their family had been passed down to his generation, and their military strategy and battlefield courage had degenerated to almost nothing.
Yan Song also had no way, to say that among his henchmen, there were many people with wisdom and strategy, but the wisdom of these people was limited to the whole person, and when it was really time to fight with the enemy, each one of them retracted. Therefore, this Qiu Luan can be regarded as the only military "talent" in the Yan Party who can get his hands on it.
Qiu Luan was driven to the shelves by ducks, but he was really afraid, so on this day he came to Yan Song Mansion with a lot of gold and silver. He first visited Lady Yan Song, sent some gold and silver, and then visited Yan Song's son Yan Shifan, and sent the rest of the silver out.
When he arrived at the lobby, he saw Yan Song sitting there, so he threw himself on his knees and begged his father if he could talk to the emperor and go to another person.
He was in tears with a handful of snot, and Yan Song was really a little upset when he saw him like this. But if you think about it, if you really send such a bag to the front line, if you really lose the battle, he as the recommender will also be implicated. So Yan Song called Qiu Luan to the front and whispered, "You remember, there is not only one way to solve the problem, it is the same with leading soldiers to fight, and it is not necessary to fight bayonets on the battlefield to make the Tartars retreat." You carefully consider my words, and the way to retreat is in these few words! ”
When Qiu Luan heard this, his eyes rolled and he counted his heart, so he went to the front line upside down. He knew that when he led his troops, he did not attack the city and chase after the Central Plains, but just to grab a handful and leave. That instead of letting him grab it, it is better that I send it to him directly, we will not do anything else, sending silver is our best hand.
When he arrived in Datong, Qiu Luan scavenged some of his subordinates, and then produced another part of it himself, taking advantage of the dark wind at night when the moon was high, and let his henchmen send them to the Li Da army.
Qiu Luan did not expect that he would answer so faithfully, and when he took the money, he left, and he was immediately proud. It took no one soldier to solve a war, and I am really Zhuge Wuhou reincarnated!
This was the first time that Qiu Luan had experienced such a great sense of accomplishment in his career, and it was also the starting point for him to challenge Yan Song's authority.
After Qiu Luan swelled for a while, he suddenly realized something, turned his head and asked, "Where did you go after you answered the retreat?" ”
Left and right replied, "Lead the troops to the direction of the Beijing Division!" ”
Qiu Luan almost didn't have high blood pressure when he heard this. What he thought was that he could retreat beyond the Great Wall with the money, but he didn't understand it at all, he felt that Qiu Luan sent this money to let him go to grab another place, as long as he didn't attack Datong, then he would simply go directly to the capital! The two clearly misunderstood the deal!
Qiu Luan could not sit still, and many people in the DPRK and China advocated peace with Li Du, and if Qiu Luan, when communicating with the emperor, shook out the transaction between the two of them, then his crime of collaborating with the enemy would not be able to run away. Thinking of this, Qiu Luan unconsciously touched his neck, and then loudly commanded: "Quick, mobilize all the departments, pursue Li Da, and enter the King of Jingqin." ”
When he arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, he did not dare to attack Li Da, but looked at it very chicken-thiefly. He sent people into the city to meet the emperor and ask for further action. Jiajing was very happy to hear that Qiu Luan was the first to take the initiative to come to Qin Wang, but at this time he really did not have time to arrange Qiu Luan, because the issue of "whether war or peace" within the imperial court became a mess, Yan Song advocated that the tribute be discussed, and the officials did not agree, and the situation was deadlocked.
At this time, Li Da was so unscrupulously rushing in the Gyeonggi area, from Miyun to Huairou to Tongzhou, no one cared about him...
And Qiu Luan, too, cowered and watched on the outskirts of Beijing, and what he hoped most was not to meet Li Da! Coincidentally, he still met Li Da near the Chaobai River.
Qiu Luan was very worried in his heart, this can be done, fight or not fight, how can not fight, how can you pretend not to see, why do it, I answer is getting closer and closer! It was then that he discovered that he was more faithful than he had imagined, because the army of them had passed directly by them and had no intention of going to war. To say that it is not good is to directly ignore the existence of Qiu Luan; to say that it is better to listen to it is to still abide by the deal reached in Datong!
According to the "Ming Shi Sejong Benji", I answered the Chaobai River, approaching the East Straight Gate of the capital from east to west, and the Beijing Division was terrified!
Qiu Luan sent a small force to follow Yu Da, and from time to time a few Tatar soldiers would die on the march, and Li Da would discard their corpses on the side of the road. This small group of tailing troops picked it up, and Qiu Luan lied to Jiajing that he had won the battle. The History of the Ming Dynasty records this great victory: thirteen enemies and ten horses.
Soon, Jiajing adopted Xu Jie's strategy to force away Li Da, the war ended, on merit and reward, Qiu Luan's battle merits were the greatest, Jiajing issued an edict to the whole army to praise, saying that he was worthy of being a famous general, and he did not lose his ancestral legacy! Qiu Luan continued to work hard, saying how he defended Li Da in Datong and how he attacked Li Da on the outskirts of Beijing, jiajing actually believed him, and also made him a great general of Yipin Pingyu, restraining civilian officials below the three pins and military attachés below the general soldier level.
Jiajing trusted Qiu Luan more and more, and Jiajing would personally give instructions to Qiu Luan's superiors, and would not discuss them with the cabinet and the military department, and all of Qiu Luan's suggestions and measures on northern border defense would be obeyed and cooperated by the military department.
Qiu Luan was already able to contact the emperor in a single line. In the days when Jiajing did not see his subjects and hid in the Western Garden, whoever could contact him in a single line could control the entire empire to some extent. Qiu Luan did it!
However, a person who gains power by flattery and deception will fall surprisingly fast. Because two years later, Li Da came again, and Yan Song took the opportunity to tell Jia Jing that he would have to make Qiu Luan retreat three thousand miles away from the enemy before he could be worthy of the emperor's favor.
Qiu Luan was once again put up by Yan Song, and this time, Yan Song did not want to help him, but to ask for his life. Soon, Qiu Luan suffered a major defeat. Jia Jing realized that he had been deceived by Qiu Luan! The angry Jiajing finally took Qiu Luan's head and spread it to the Nine Sides!
The defeat of Qiu Luan really responded to that sentence: If you are not worthy of the throne, there will be disasters!
