Chapter 102: The Emperor's Position

Fan Hong continued to report: "Cao Yi, the chief military officer of Liaodong, reported that he led 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and he had already stationed 30,000 guards, and he was ready to attack. After the attack on Wuliangha, it was only General Cao Yi who asked for help, and the 30,000 horses were already all the troops gathered in Liaodong, but they were only out of the pass to fight, and there was a huge disparity between the enemy and us, so they asked for reinforcements. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at 30,000 Wei, the location of 30,000 Wei is west of Changchang Bai Mountain, which is the northernmost part of the capital of Liaodong.

Zhu Qizhen gently placed a flag on 30,000 guards.

30,000 horses doesn't seem like much, but Zhu Qizhen also knows that this is the limit of the troops that Liaodong can mobilize.

The reason is simple.

The Tile Spur army is assembled in Haixi City, and if it is just a siege, it will not take many people, so the Tile Spur can draw out troops and horses and go south in several strategic directions.

The most threatened military town is Liaodong.

Therefore, the Liaodong army should be stationed in various places on the border wall in case the Tilesha army suddenly moves south.

Even the 30,000 people gathered by Cao Yi were very uncomfortable with whether they were a reserve mobile force for defense or a force for counterattack.

Cao Yi stopped at 30,000 Wei. But they came up and asked for help.

It's a lot of fun.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What is the situation on Cheng Guogong's side? ”

Chengguo Gong is no longer in Beijing, and he is already in Xuanda Overseer. The 3,000 battalions of the Beijing camp are ready to leave Beijing. And Jingying is Zhu Qizhen's last capital. Zhu Qizhen will not use it easily.

What Zhu Qizhen really used was the border army, especially the cavalry in the border army of Xuanda. This is all the responsibility of Cheng Guogong.

"Cheng Guogong has reported that all the cavalry of Xuanda are ready, and 50,000 cavalry are ready to go out at any time."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "How is it on the North Korean side?" ”

Fan Hong said: "The king of Joseon has gathered 30,000 horses in the six towns of Yanbian in North Korea, and as long as the imperial court gives an order, the Korean army will be ready to cross the Mentu River and go north to support the town of Haexi." ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "Did he make a mistake?" When I asked, whether the DPRK was willing to borrow grain and grass, who asked him to increase his troops, or even reinforce the town of Haexi. ”

"This North Korea, after really fighting in the east and west, thought that he was an immortal hero."

It's not that Zhu Qizhen underestimated the Korean soldiers, although today's North Korea is the most powerful period in Korean history, and the Lee dynasty is rising like the sun.

But the problem, Lee's Korea itself is not a powerful country. 、

Even at its peak, the combat effectiveness of Lee's Korean army was quite weak.

It can't be said that the North Korean soldiers can't fight, maybe the North Korean soldiers are stronger than the Ming Southern Guard Army, but they are much worse than the Ming Border Army.

And the tile spur cavalry, even the Ming border army is quite jealous and cautious.

The North Korean soldiers don't say 30,000, that is, 100,000, dare to confront the tile iron cavalry,

There are also defeats and no victories.

Fan Hong said: "Your Majesty, the king of Joseon has agreed to borrow grain and grass from the Joseon treasury to support Haexi Town. ”

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, still feeling that the existence of North Korea was very troublesome. But seeing that North Korea has a good attitude and does not seem to waver, he doesn't care, and says: "Send an order to North Korea, saying that his kindness is well received, but it is just the situation in Haixi Town, don't worry about the King of Korea, the King of North Korea only needs to guard the border." Do not be broken by thorns. ”

Fan Hong said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How is the situation in Renli, Gansu? ”

Fan Hong said: "Ren Li's last report said that it had been linked to the Shazhou position, and the commander of the Shazhou Wei decided to defect to the imperial court, and Ren Li would send troops this month. ”

Fan Hong calculated it and said, "Calculate the time, General Ren can already send troops." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's also good news. ”

Fan Hong said: "Your Majesty, there is another good news, which is from Fujian. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Fujian's, is it the leaf thief? ”

Fan Hong said: "Your Majesty is wise and far-sighted. ”

Zhu Qizhen is immune to sycophants. said: "Let's talk about it, what progress has Guo Deng. ”

"General Guo reported that the heavens have broken through the mountain, Ye Liuzong has been awarded the head, and only Deng Maoqi has escaped." Fan Hong said.

Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle of encircling the mountain has been fought from last winter to the present, and Guo Deng has called various guards in Fujian to attack separately. And pick elite centaurs, hundreds.

found a mountain road, crossed the mountains and mountains, and broke into the Tianjie Mountain, Ye Liuzong was caught off guard, a night battle, and his head was in a different place. Ye Liuzong's headquarters collapsed.

Deng Maoqi gathered the remnants of the troops on both sides and escaped from the encirclement.

Guo Deng had already sent Fang Jin to bite the other party.

Although it was also a chase battle, this chase battle was completely different from the previous chase battle with Ye Liuzong. Because of Ye Liuzong's chasing battle, the initiative has always been in Ye Liuzong's hands, but now in the chasing battle, Deng Maoqi panicked and chose the road, and Fang Jin chased after him.

In this case, Deng Maoqi was conferred the head. There is no suspense anymore.

From the beginning of the ninth year of orthodoxy to the present, it has been a stone in Zhu Qizhen's heart, and it is finally time to end.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Summoning Guo Deng, I am waiting for him in Beijing." knighted him. ”

"Yes." Fan Hong said.

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What is the situation of floods and droughts in various places this year?" ”

Fan Hong flipped over the folds one by one from the side, opened them and said, "Your Majesty, I am not optimistic, I am afraid that this year will be another disaster year." The Yellow River is not a big problem, but it is a big problem along the Yangtze River. From Anqing below, I'm afraid -------"

Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes and said, "Send a decree to the cabinet and let Yang Shoufu concentrate on disaster relief." Something else

Love, I have measure. ”

Fan Hong said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Qizhen is a little tired, since Zhu Qizhen was in power, there have been floods and droughts from time to time, and there has never been a peaceful year. He is used to it, and it can be said that he is numb.

In fact, God has never regarded anyone as an enemy, but he does things according to his own temper, and he tosses the people below a lot.

Suddenly, a little eunuch came over and whispered a few words in Fan Hong's ear.

Fan Hong said: "Your Majesty, the British are asking to see you. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly and said, "The British Duke is here to stabilize me." ”

Zhu Qizhen understands the British duke's mind very well.

Originally, he accompanied his son at home every day, and he didn't go to court for any major event, and even if there was a big event, Zhu Qizhen wanted to consult the British Duke, and His Majesty sent someone to the British Duchess to summon him. After the outbreak of the Battle of Haixi, he appeared in front of Zhu Qizhen all the time.

There was even something to ask to see Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qizhen first started, Zhu Qizhen didn't know what it was for, but he quickly guessed it.

Perhaps in the eyes of the British public, Zhu Qizhen was actually the biggest hidden danger in the Battle of Haixi.

Worried that Zhu Qizhen would have a decisive battle with the Tile Spur army. I am also worried that Zhu Qizhen has some whimsical ideas and some outrageous orders under the front line.

led to the rout of the Great Army.

Therefore, the British public is always in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly for a moment, and he understood one thing, for the emperor, before and after the war, it was the emperor's task to prepare for the war and clean up the mess, but after the actual war, it was not within the emperor's management.

Zhu Qizhen said to Fan Hong: "Tell the British Duke that before this war, there has been a resolution, and I will not make any changes, the British Duke is old, so rest well at home." ”

"If something happens, I'll send someone to ask for the British duke."

Fan Hong said: "Yes." ”

The English Duke is outside the palace gates.

Hearing the eunuch's words, the British duke did not breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a kind of time in his heart when my family had a child growing up.

Although Zhu Qizhen feels that he has grown up, Zhu Qizhen is twenty-two years old this year, but in the eyes of the British public, he has always been a child.

The British Duke has always felt that Zhu Qizhen has a sense of impatience in his heart.

The current emperor has eliminated this youthful impatient and reckless temperament little by little.

In this way, the British Duke is relieved.

As for the victory or defeat of the Battle of Hercyni, it does not matter.

Because even if Haixi is defeated, it will not shake the Ming Dynasty, Daming's foundation is thick, and there is nothing to lose a few games. As long as there is a Ming Jun, it is the luck of all the people.

It's just that at this moment, the British public Zhang Fu has forgotten.

A wise monarch may be a blessing for all people, but it may not be a blessing for a hundred officials. Especially not necessarily a difficult fortune.
