Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216 Important ministers went to Beijing to brainstorm and increase troops by [-].
So not only did Luo Tong not argue with the emperor, but he also actively suggested to the emperor: "May I ask your Majesty, how many troops have you placed outside Xuanfu City? When do you plan to disarm Yang Hong and occupy Xuanfu City? "

"I sent 8000 main force of the Shenji Battalion to replace the [-] troops of the Ara Zhiyuan to continue to encircle the Xuan Mansion to prevent Yang Hong from doing anything to the imperial army behind the scenes.

As for the disarmament of the Xuanfu army, I haven't ordered it yet.After all, it is a bit difficult for me to disarm the [-] Xuanfu army with [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

So let Yu Qian slowly investigate their corruption and breaking the law in the city first.While waiting for the divisions of the central and eastern armies, just take care of Yang Hong along the way. "

Luo Tong was afraid of hurting the emperor's face, so he asked very tactfully: "Has your majesty considered it? Now that he has arrived near Datong, if he does not stay in Datong, but joins Boyan Timur's 1 horses, What about the whole army rushing straight to Xuanfu?
When the time comes, the gang of rebels in Xuanfu City will definitely stand by and watch, but how can the [-] soldiers in the Shenji camp stop Yexian's [-] cavalry? "

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a while, before he slapped the table: "Oh, I really haven't considered this matter. The strategic mind that Yexian showed when he was in Beijing was all stupid.

As a result, I began to underestimate him. I think that since the last few days when the Wala army was in the capital, he began to plan to retreat and show weakness, luring our army to take the bait.

If the cavalry advances with all their strength, it will only take two days from Datong to Xuanfu to survive, and our [-] army will be finished by then. "

Hearing this, Luo Tong added: "If the main force of the Shenji Battalion is wiped out, we can still get food and grass from Yang Hong first, and continue to raid our central army, and then we will become the main force of Yexian and the troops left behind by Wala. We are in the army.

If you really have such a mind first, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

Zhu Qiyu pondered Luo Tong's words carefully, almost sweating in winter.Now I finally understand why Cao Cao hugged his head and cried after the Battle of Chibi. It is really impossible to not have a dedicated strategic talent around him.

Before breaking through Daomaguan, there was no problem with my own strategy.My fault is that after the main force entered Shanxi first, I did not make corresponding strategic adjustments in time.

After listening to Luo Tong's analysis, the other important ministers present were chattering and began to hesitate.Now the northwest has concentrated more than 20 troops from the imperial court. If this is defeated first, wouldn't it become the second largest civil fort?That joke was too big.

Zhu Qiyu became quiet in a blink of an eye, drinking tea slowly while thinking about the situation in Shanxi.

It wasn't until the cup of tea was finished that the ministers calmed down and looked at the emperor in unison, waiting for the emperor to give a countermeasure.

Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly: "It's nothing, ladies and gentlemen, don't be nervous, at worst, you can learn from King Qin Zhao next. The [-] battalion state guards who guarded the Zijing Pass just entered the capital, and they were originally transferred to protect the safety of the capital to prevent minor disturbances.

There is no other way now, I will only leave 5000 people, and the remaining 5000 people will be transferred to Xuanfu immediately.

Then you immediately notify, and the imperial court temporarily recruits troops.Recruit honorable servants and loyal and righteous soldiers in Beijing to form a new army and go to Xuanfu to support. "

The ministers were speechless after hearing this. The emperor never forgot to win over people no matter what time it was.

But there is no way, now that the ministers have been completely coerced by the emperor, they can only bite the bullet and carry the war to the end at any cost.

This is also the first time that the ministers have had a strong impulse, hoping to bring back the main force of the Ming army in the south, and give it a complete end first.

In contrast, Zhu Qiyu's mentality was much calmer. While thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity of war to balance the court situation, he asked Luo Tong in a leisurely manner:
"Luo Aiqing, how much can the Juyongguan defenders mobilize?"

Luo Tong replied without hesitation: "My Majesty, Juyongguan can mobilize 5000 people."

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Yingzhouwei has 5000 people, Juyongguan has 5000 people, recruited [-] new troops from the capital, plus the [-] Shenji Battalion already in Xuanfu.

This is a total of [-] troops. As long as the Xuan Mansion is firmly guarded, it is enough to contain the first army, and wait until the central and eastern armies return to their divisions.

Besides, counting the schedule, the two armies are about to fight against the troops left behind by Wala. "

Luo Tong replied: "I think that Your Majesty should hurry up and send important ministers to replace Yu Qian to take over the Xuan Mansion, take Yang Hong down, and bind the capital.

As for the [-] Xuanfu soldiers, a general should also be sent to take over, and then immediately sent to Datong to fight against the Wala army. "

Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind, but today there were three new ministers, and it was not easy to act too arbitrary, so he patrolled the crowd and asked, "Everyone, please tell me, which minister should be sent to take over Xuan's office?" House?"

The old people all knew the emperor's temper, and they all had a good sense of humor, so they took the initiative to give the opportunity to answer questions to Wang Ao, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Wang Ao saw that he couldn't hide, so he replied: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhongfu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is mature and prudent, straightforward and honest, and he is worthy of great responsibility."

"Oh, what is Liu Aiqing doing now?"

"Liu Zhongfu was sentenced to death by the Supreme Emperor because of previous crimes. Later, he was pardoned and demoted to a commoner, living at home. He is from Daxing. If His Majesty summons him, he will be able to take office on the same day."

"Yeah, I've heard a lot about this Old Shangshu Liu, he is a rare honest and loyal person. Are there any other lovers who you want to recommend?"

Wang Wen stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I recommend Li Bing, the head of the household department. In the early years of Zhengtong, Li Bing was sent to the Xuanfu to impeach and rectify the local border generals who invaded and occupied the farmland. He has political achievements. I thought that Li Bing could be sent to the Xuanfu again."

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Let's draw up an order, the governor Tao Jin was promoted to be the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, Liu Zhongfu was appointed as the Minister of the Household Department, the governor of Shanxi, and counselor Tao Jin's military affairs.

Give Liu Zhongfu the sword of Shangfang, the flag of Wang Ming, and the holiday, and patrol Shanxi on my behalf.For civil and military officials below the third rank in Shanxi, they can be killed first and then played.Civil and military officials of the third rank and above in Shanxi can be suspended, imprisoned, and interrogated directly without requesting an order.

Li Tang, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, and went to Shanxi to be responsible for the investigation and impeachment of all officials in Shanxi.

Cao Tai, the censor of the capital of Youqian, concurrently served as Shanxi patrol officer; Wang Wei, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, was changed to be the prime minister of Yousi of Dali Temple; the two and Li Tang jointly tried the officials of the Xuanfu.

Li Bing, the head of the household department, was promoted to be the doctor of the Shanxi Qingli Department of the household department, and was responsible for assisting Liu Zhongfu to care for the people and check the property of criminal officials. "

Appointing five ministers to the Xuanfu in one go, Zhu Qiyu was determined to make a quick decision this time.Li Tang, Cao Tai, and Wang Wei represented the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple respectively. They could be considered to have assembled the three judicial departments, and they could directly hold a joint trial of the three departments in the Xuanfu.
