Chapter 196 Civil strife in the Ming Dynasty? (May I ask for monthly tickets)

In the next two days, Lin Cunde was inspecting the Fifth Army Camp and supervising training.

Those generals did not dare to be dissatisfied with Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde had already demonstrated his skills in the Fifth Army Camp before.

And the soldiers who followed Wang Ying on the expedition this time all remembered his kindness. Without Lin Cunde's crossbow, they would not have come back alive, let alone meritorious service and promotion.

This morning, Lin Cunde got up early, put on earl clothes, and headed to the palace because he needed to attend court early.

Zhu Qiyu still went to court in Fengtian Hall.

When Lin Cunde arrived at the palace, all the dignitaries and generals in the capital arrived.

Lin Cunde found his position. Lin Cunde was humble and ranked last among the earls who went to court. It does not mean that you can go to court just because you are a noble. There are some nobles who do not have positions and cannot go to court.

Lin Cunde led the five military camps and had 110,000 soldiers under his command. It can be said that he had a lot of power. Many princes may not be as powerful as Lin Cunde.

Although Shi Heng was a Marquis, he was only a governor and a co-president, and did not hold actual military power in his hands.

Lin Cunde followed Wang Ying and others into the Fengtian Hall. After a while, Zhu Qiyu came in. The ministers shouted long live, and the court ceremony began.

Lin Cunde just listened quietly. After all, it was the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who went to court to discuss some important matters in the court.

Most of them do not involve military commanders, and basically it is civil servants who discuss local matters.

For example, where there is a disaster, where there is rebellion, where the dike breaks, etc.

Basically, it's disaster relief, building river embankments, and other trivial matters.

Lin Cunde listened very carefully and listened to how those ministers handled these affairs. This was also learning for Lin Cunde.

The court meeting was not long, only an hour.

Before going down to court, Zhu Qiyu asked Yu Qian, Duke of Wei Xu Chengzong, Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng, Xu Xianyong, Zhang Xian, Wang Ying, Lin Cunde, Gu Jing, Zhao Rong and other generals to stay and go to Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.

Lin Cunde knew that they were discussing the possibility of Wala attacking Liaodong Town.

Although at present, there is no sign that Wala will attack here.

But Zhu Qiyu knew that this possibility was very high, and the matter had not been exposed yet, so Zhu Qiyu did not want the civil servants to know.

Once the civil servants find out, who knows what will happen?

Tumubao was defeated, and Zhu Qiyu also suspected that there were spies inside and revealed the whereabouts of the Ming army.

Zhu Qiyu did not dare to be careless in military affairs.

Soon, Lin Cunde followed them to Qianqing Palace. Cheng Jing saw them coming and immediately led them in!

As soon as Lin Cunde and the others entered, they saw a huge Ming Dynasty border defense map hanging in the imperial study.

Marked on it are the locations of all the garrison posts on the northern defense line.

Duke Guo of Wei led the generals to salute Zhu Qiyu.

"Everyone is exempt from courtesy. Get up and sit down. Serve tea!" Zhu Qiyu sat there and said lightly. There are many people today, so there is no need for a tea table. It is better to have a teacup for each person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The generals responded immediately with their hands raised.

Then everyone found a seat and sat down.

Lin Cunde sat at the back, and Yu Qian was just in front of Lin Cunde. Yu Qian originally wanted to sit at the back, but Lin Cunde refused.

"Yu Shangshu, tell me about the actions you may take against the northern defense line, especially against Oara, and tell the generals!" Zhu Qiyu sat there and said to Yu Qian.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yu Qian stood up immediately. He knew before he came that His Majesty had summoned so many military commanders here to discuss the northern defense line.

Then Yu Qian walked to the map and began to talk about his next attack on Wala and his judgment.

After Wei Guogong and others heard this, they all frowned and wanted to fight?

Starting last year in the Ming Dynasty, wars continued without a break.

Fortunately, since the beginning of this year, Wala's army has not really invaded the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and has not caused huge losses to the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Battle of Hequ also allowed the people and army of Ming Dynasty to regain their confidence.

But the return of Wala will put a huge pressure on Ming's border defense and its finances.

After Yu Qian finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Qiyu and returned to his seat.

"Let's talk, everyone, how should we prepare for the war next?" Zhu Qiyu sat there, staring at the generals, and said lightly.

"It is better to dispatch the third battalion of the capital!" Wei Guogong stood up.

He had to be the first to speak. As he spoke, Wei Guogong came to the front of the map, pointed in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and asked Lin Cunde: "Can the Fifth Army Camp defend Shanhaiguan?"

Lin Cunde also stood up immediately and said: "Yes! As long as our fifth military camp can reach Shanhaiguan before the arrival of the Wala army, we can hold it!"

"That's good. It's good to be able to hold on. But there may be trouble in Liaodong Town. Yu Shangshu, when do you think Wala will launch an attack?" Wei Guogong said and looked at Yu Qian.

"Any time, but if you want to grab enough supplies, I guess you need to wait until it freezes. Although this will limit the advantage of the cavalry for Wala, Liaodong Town will have enough supplies for the winter! Only in this way, Only in Wala can we grab supplies for the winter!" Yu Qian stood up and looked at Wei Guogong and said.

"At any time, winter comes! Why do you say at any time? Please tell me in detail!" Wei Guogong heard what Yu Qian said and asked again.

"Because Ye first fought in Hequ and suffered heavy losses, he wanted to balance the internal forces and couldn't sit still. He could launch an attack on Liaodong Town at any time. If he could rob enough supplies, he might be able to suppress it. If you can't grab it, Ye Xian's position will be in danger! On the other side of Wala, the strong are respected, and the forces below are not willing to succumb to Ye Xian!" Yu Qian raised his hands to Wei Guogong.

"Well, anytime!" Wei Guogong stood in front of the map, thinking with a frown.

"I think it will be launched soon!" Lin Cunde said to Wei Guogong at this moment.

"Soon?" When Wei Guogong and others heard this, they all looked at Lin Cunde in shock.

"Yes, soon, there is another variable here, that is the Supreme Emperor!" Lin Cunde nodded and said confidently.

"Why do you say that, Cunde, please elaborate!" Wei Guogong looked at Lin Cunde and said. ‘

Lin Cunde also walked to the front of the map and said to Zhu Qiyu and other generals: "I want to ask you, Ruowala gathered a large number of troops at Shanhaiguan to contain the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and the other one led the Supreme Emperor to surprise other acropolis in Liaodong Town. Everyone, if the guards officer saw the Supreme Emperor, what would he choose? Fight to the death or surrender?

If the Supreme Emperor says that they are not surrendering to Wala, but following the Supreme Emperor, think about it, everyone, what will the officers in the guard choose?

On the one hand, it is a test of life and death, and on the other hand, it is following the Ming Dynasty Emperor! "

"It's dangerous. How dare the Supreme Emperor do this? Does the Supreme Emperor want to be infamy for all eternity?" Yu Qian's face changed drastically at this moment, he stood up and looked at Lin Cunde in horror and asked.

"I don't know. I can only make the worst guess. After all, the Supreme Emperor has called upon me!" Lin Cunde said with a sigh.

At this moment, everyone gasped. If this is the case, will the Ming Dynasty be divided?

If Zhu Qizhen controls more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong Town, and if he leads the army to Shanhaiguan by then, how can he still fight this battle? Kill your own people?

Moreover, it is impossible to get the soldiers of Liaodong Town to lay down their weapons and capture the Supreme Emperor. After all, the Supreme Emperor and the Wala people are still there. Once they have such second thoughts, they may be killed soon.

Zhu Qiyu sat there indifferently, just wanting to see how the generals chose and how to plan this war!

"In addition, Your Majesty, I would venture to guess that if, if Your Majesty takes control of Liaodong Town, he will take a boat from Jinzhou and go straight to Nanjing." Lin Cunde said as he drew this on the map, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Zhu Qiyu stood up in surprise.

"I will never let him come back. I will personally lock him up, go to Xiaoling, and let him kneel down and explain in front of Taizu!" Wei Guogong shouted angrily at this moment.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Wei Guogong still understands justice!"

Zhu Qiyu said this, and he must acknowledge Wei Guogong's statement, but if such a day comes, who knows how Wei Guogong will choose?

Zhu Qiyu couldn’t believe it!

There are only two people he really believes in now, one is Wang Ying and the other is Lin Cunde.

Others dare not trust them absolutely.

"If he dares to do this, he will be disgraceful to my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!" Shi Heng also shouted indignantly at this moment.

Lin Cunde glanced at Shi Heng and said nothing.

Zhu Qiyu also sat down at this moment. He was very angry and worried, but he still looked at Yu Qian and asked: "Is it possible?"

Yu Qian swallowed his saliva, glanced at Lin Cunde, and then nodded with difficulty: "Big! There are two possibilities. One possibility is that the Supreme Emperor himself wants this, and the other possibility is that the Supreme Emperor is also held hostage first!"

"Him!" Zhu Qiyu wanted to curse and shout that if this happens, he will die! Don't dare to shout!

"Your Majesty, you can test it!" Lin Cunde stood there and said.

"How to test?" Zhu Qiyu immediately looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Send an envoy to Oala and say that Ming Dynasty will bring back the Emperor! I, Ming Dynasty, said before that I would like Oara to be sent back unconditionally, and Oara agreed. This time we sent an envoy to say, if Oara agrees, I, Ming Dynasty, will be willing to do so." Unlock border trade! If Wala agrees, we will bring the Emperor back immediately. If Wala makes other requests, it means that we have already thought about it!

Moreover, Your Majesty, at this moment, you can bring the Supreme Emperor back! No matter from any aspect, the time has come! Lin Cunde stood there and said to Zhu Qiyu.

"I agree with what Cunde said. The risk is even greater if the Emperor is left in Wala now. We can send people to bring the Emperor back!" Upon hearing this, Yu Qian immediately agreed and said to Zhu Qiyu.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

All the generals stood up, raised their hands to Zhu Qiyu and said.

"What if Wala makes other demands? Or if we start taking action before we have brought back the Emperor, what should we do? Wala are cavalry and move fast! We have to guard against this!" Zhu Qiyu stared at Lin Cunde and Yu Qian asked.
