little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 257 Provocation
In the Forbidden City, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Rusong finally presented the memorial in his hand.He can ignore all kinds of strange gazes of envy, jealousy or contempt around him, but the only thing that makes him dare not and cannot ignore is a person's reaction.He has already sensitively discovered that at the moment he saw him handing in the memorial, there was obvious regret in the eyes of the crown prince, which was as clear as a pool of water. This discovery made his original determination shaken in an instant. But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Li Rusong finally opened his mouth: "I request you to lead troops to help the court and suppress the Japanese rebellion."

His Highness was silent, and as Zhu Changluo raised his hand, Wang An quickly ran down and presented the memorial in Li Rusong's hand.

Li Rusong finally let out a sigh of relief. Now that the matter has settled, he believes that the prince will keep his promise, but is he really doing the right thing in this step?For the first time in his life, Li Rusong, who had lived half his life proudly, felt very puzzled. It turned out that choosing this matter was so difficult.The future is boundless and unpredictable, and at this moment, he is suddenly like a very thirsty and hungry person looking at a fat and delicious apple on a cliff, only to find that the fruit is hanging on a twig farthest from the branch, and below is the abyss .

This is a gamble in life, it is extremely glorious to win, but if you lose, you are doomed to have nothing.

Since the memorial was handed over, no one paid any attention to his ups and downs. Everyone's attention was focused on the prince, and Zhu Changluo's attention was all on the memorial at this time.It has to be said that this is a detailed and well-organized memorial. It clearly records all kinds of military affairs in North Korea since May. Zhu Changluo was terrified by this. His undefeated record is indeed not just a matter of luck.

Finally raised his head, Zhu Changluo's eyes were calm and deep: "North Korea is the country that my Ming Dynasty belongs to. The Japanese pirates and wolves are ambitious and brazenly send troops to seize it. For public or private purposes, Da Ming can't stand idly by; yesterday when the Qianqing Palace met with the emperor, it was clearly stated, To avoid future border troubles, Ming Dynasty must not sit idly by in this battle."

Speaking of this point, no matter how stupid people are, they can understand that this battle is inevitable.Most people choose to remain silent, and the superiors have already made up their minds, so it would be futile to say more, so it is better to save some saliva and repose.

"From now on, Li Rusong will be promoted from the admiral of Shaanxi to the admiral of Liaodong, and he will be in charge of the military. At the same time, he will immediately send someone to North Korea to inform Li Yan, the leader of North Korea, so that he can cooperate with him and fight against the enemy with peace of mind." Speaking of this, Zhu Changluo glanced at the officials in the court, and he could see all kinds of expressions: "As for the position of economic strategy..." Although Li Rusong was a little apprehensive about the admiral, it was nothing compared to the great military exploits.

Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was the first to leave the squad, with a serious face of righteousness, he said: "As a subject, you should share the country's worries, and I invite you to lead troops into the court to quell the chaos."

There was a whisper in the class of officials, Zhu Changluo's eyes changed, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Master Shi is dedicated to the country, and his loyalty is commendable, but it's just that you have been rushing all the way. I heard that you are always weak and should not be active. Let's rest. "

There were a few inaudible sneers from among the officials, and Shi Xing's face turned a little strangely red in an instant.Li Rusong suddenly took a step forward and said: "My minister recommends Song Yingchang, the minister of the Ministry of War, to serve as the Liaodong strategy."

Compared with Shi Xing, who was tall, beautiful and long-bearded, Song Yingchang was no different in terms of official position or appearance.The prince had just rejected Shi Xing, so Song Yingchang couldn't do it anymore. Just when the officials thought the prince would not allow it, an accident happened, "As requested by Master Li, I only hope that the two civil and military forces will work together to defeat the enemy. Captives, return to court as soon as possible.”

Shi Xing, whose face was flushed, was about to squirt a mouthful of old blood on the ground, staring at Li Rusong and Song Yingchang, wishing to go up and bite a couple of bites to relieve his hatred.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of hustle and bustle inside and outside. The household department, the military department, and the official department have been busy in circles. All kinds of personnel transfers and military preparations have been in a mess. Fortunately, the cabinet is capable. With the two of them in charge, everything proceeded in an orderly and fast manner amidst the chaos.

The weather in June is as hot as a fire, but what is hotter than the fire is the human heart.

At this time, except for the blind, anyone with long eyes can see that the new Liaodong admiral, General Li, is determined to win this time to send troops to aid the DPRK. Give him himself.In fact, Li Rusong's iron cavalry is not commanded by Li Rusong alone, but by several people. In addition to Li Rusong himself who is in charge of 3000 people, his younger brothers Li Rumei, Li Ruzhen, Li Ruwu, and his confidantes Ding Zuchengxun and Zha Dashou have only one There are more than a thousand people, and the total is no more than 1 people.

Liaodong Cavalry became the first army he recruited. As the most elite cavalry unit of Ming Dynasty, the number of Liaodong Cavalry was surprisingly small, but the glorious record of victories in every battle made no one dare to underestimate the combat power of this team. .

Li Rusong personally went to the palace to meet the prince Zhu Changluo in the Second Army, and asked Wu Weizhong to join him in helping the DPRK to fight the rebellion.

For this request, Zhu Changluo did not immediately agree, but ordered someone to show this memorial to Wu Weizhong, and left a message for him to decide on his own.It is said that Wu Weizhong thought for a long time and finally decided to participate.When the news was sent back to the palace, Zhu Changluo sighed, and then issued an order to approve it.Li Rusong was overjoyed, with the help of Wu Weizhong and his [-] Qi family troops, Li Rusong's weight of victory in this conquest increased a lot.

After conscripting the Liaodong iron cavalry and Qi's army, Li Rusong was still not satisfied, and the military orders were issued like a revolving lantern.Since June of the 20th year of Wanli, the armies of Jizhou, Baoding, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanxi, and Nanzhili have been dispatched one after another, and they have assembled and joined forces in Liaodong. Since then, the army to aid North Korea has finally been formed, with Song Yingchang as the strategy , Li Rusong was the admiral, among the three armies, the commander of the central army was Yang Yuan, the commander of the left army was Li Rubai, the commander of the left army was the deputy commander-in-chief, and the commander of the right army was Zhang Shijue, the deputy commander-in-chief. Several people.

This patchwork army may not have many people, but there is no doubt that it is the strongest and most elite army that Da Ming can produce right now.

Everything was ready, and Li Rusong, who was already on the banks of the Yalu River, did not gather and set off in a hurry.His intuition from years of fighting told him that what awaited him in North Korea this time must be a more powerful enemy, and the important point was that Li Rusong knew that he could only win this war, but could not afford to lose.

So he can only be cautious and cautious, not daring to take it lightly.

The soldiers in Liaodong were pressing down on the border, and the war was imminent. Zhu Changluo in the capital was not idle. Time was precious, and he dared not waste a moment.According to the news from Sun Chengzong, the 3 people in the Shenji Camp have been selected, and the rest of the replacements have also been recruited.

Zhao Shizhen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been in pain and happiness these days. The task of [-] flintlocks almost drove the old man crazy.Making guns is easy to talk about, but how to keep flintlocks secret makes the old man worry about making mistakes. As the top secret of the state, there is no doubt that the craftsmanship of flintlocks must not be leaked, but such a large-scale mass production, it is almost impossible to keep secret Impossible.

It was Zhu Changluo who came to the rescue at the critical moment and ordered him to separate the drawings of the gun, make each part according to the number, and finally assemble it in a unified way. The advantage of this is that it can not only increase the output, but also avoid the leakage of the process.For this method, the status of the prince in Zhao Shizhen's heart has once again risen to a new height, and the qualitative change from man to god has been successfully completed.

The Ming Dynasty assembled a heavy army to spread the news of aiding the DPRK to all directions, so it was naturally the first to know about the Jurchen Yehe tribe living in the Liaodong Haixi.

It's not how well-informed they are, but how many days ago, Lin Poluo, who is the real head of the Yehe tribe at the moment, received a letter from the Liaodong General Military Mansion.

The letter was written by Uncle Ning Yuan Li Chengliang himself. The words and sentences were very impolite. It can be said to be simple, rude and direct. He named Ye He to send troops to help the Ming soldiers enter the dynasty and destroy the bandits. This made Lin Boluo's expression change instantly. It was very ugly. After forcing himself to send away the invincible Li family messenger in a calm manner, the smile that froze on his face finally cooled down. The copper pot flew up in response to the sound, and when it landed on the ground, there was a mournful clang that scared many people.

Daoist Chongxu walked into the tent slowly, and the furious Lin Polo saw him coming in, his face instantly calmed down, and he stood up and beckoned him to sit down.

Looking at the messy place, he suddenly smiled and said: "I just saw the envoy of the Ming Dynasty galloping furiously on horseback. Dare I ask Lord Baylor why he is troubled by the conquest?"

Although he was a little surprised by the news that Daoist Hedge Xu got from there, Nalin Polo did not hide his thoughts: "Since the last battle in Hezig City, the Haixi Jurchen's vitality has not recovered, and the heroes of our Yehe clan It's the eagle soaring in the sky, the wolf galloping in the grassland, that one is going to listen to his orders, it's beyond self-control!" After speaking, he punched the table, and there was a loud bang.

Daoist Chongxu stroked his beard with his hand and his eyes flickered: "It seems that Baylor has decided not to send troops to help?"

Lin Poluo smiled lightly: "Da Ming wants to aid the dynasty and destroy the bandits, and that has nothing to do with us. The blood of the Haixi Jurchens will only be sprinkled on their own land."

Surprised to find that Lin Boluo was calm and deep, not only not agitated by his own words, but also had a clear understanding of the whole situation, and his wit and coping ability in his words were not inferior to those of those who had been killed for a long time. old fox.Daoist Chongxu, who was secretly admiring in his heart, smiled: "Master Baylor is very ambitious, but you know what, your side refuses, Jianzhou Jurchen has already sent troops to help the Ming army."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the big tent instantly became weird.Lin Polo, who had calmed down, changed his expression again, stood up suddenly, and his voice became sullen and low: "Is what the real person said true?"

Immortal Chongxu said seriously: "Nurhachi has already sent his brother Shuerhaqi to lead five thousand troops, and now he has arrived at the Yalu River to join forces with the Ming army, and will soon cross the river to aid the dynasty."

Nalin Polo frowned tightly: "It has long been heard that Jiannu and the Li family have a very close relationship. Nuerhachi wants to restore the old relationship, so it is only natural to send troops. It is not surprising."

"If Baylor really thinks this way, the old man can only say that you are not only wrong, but also very wrong."

The calm tone of voice reveals a confident affirmation.That Lin Boluo stared at Daoist Chongxu with his eyes wide open, the bottom of his eyes flickered slightly, there was vigilance, but also a ray of suspicion that couldn't be concealed.

Daoist Chongxu didn't care, with a confident smile on his face.He believed that what he was about to say would have an impact on the young leader of the Haixi Jurchen.And he firmly believed that it was impossible for the other party to refuse his proposal.

... The interesting and fun scene will officially start from this moment. Although Daoist Chongxu still has a calm and natural smile on his face, there is already an unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes.
