The West Garden, the Palace of Longevity, stands in the cold wind.

As the heat continued to pass from the heating channel to the palace floor, the palace seemed warm like spring, and a rich sandalwood fragrance wafted through the air.

A slight cough came from the thick curtain, which made the faces of several important ministers outside immediately darken, and they immediately bowed respectfully to the curtain.

After hearing the word "flat", they all stood up from the ground, but their heads were a little lower.

Standing here are the most important courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, they are: Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yuan Wei, the second assistant of the cabinet, Wu Shan, the secretary of the ministry, Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Ne, the secretary of the household department, and Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department.

The military situation came so suddenly that a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Alta's forces were mainly in the west, and usually harassed the Datong area of Shanxi. But this time, they suddenly entered from Jizhen in the east, and now they have killed Sanhe in Shuntianfu.

No one knows whether the Mongolian cavalry will be killed under the city of Beijing, whether there will be another "Gengxu Change", and they don't know what kind of mood the emperor is in now, which makes several important ministers also panic.

"Let's talk about it! What now? ”

Jiajing had just finished Xiu Xuan and came here, and asked in a flat but faintly murderous tone.

If you say, who is the person Jiajing hates the most in this world. But it is not Wang Zhi, who caused trouble in the southeast in the past, nor Zhang Lian, who was the emperor in Guangdong, but the Mongolian Altan Khan who made him extremely restless in the second half of his life.

Because the imperial court did not approve my petition for tribute, I promised to lead 40,000 cavalry to Beijing in the 29th year of Jiajing. Under pressure from outside the city, and hoping that I would withdraw from the army, Jiajing accepted the opinions of Xu Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, and I answered Tonggong.

Jiajing, who has always been rigid and self-serving, was once upon a time subjected to such a wretched spirit, and when he first ascended to the throne, he got a hundred officials headed by Yang Tinghe to be disgraced, but he lowered his arrogant head in front of a barbarian.

It is precisely in this way that after I withdrew from the Guanwai, he issued an edict to the first Datong general soldier of the Qin King, Xianning Hou Qiuluan: "Don't neglect this military affairs, you will drive Hu Lu for 3,000 miles like the emperor's ancestors!" ”

Of course, just like the whim of the time to reclaim the Hetao, this is just a rhetoric on the head of the anger. After that, not to mention "driving Hulu for 3,000 miles", the military expenditure was reduced again and again, and he was still obsessed with his great cause of cultivation.

It's just that now, the Mongolian cavalry suddenly came from the east and endangered the capital, like a slap in the face of the Ming king, resolutely making Jiajing seem to have regained a bit of the image of the emperor who worked hard.

All the officials are shrewd people, and they know that it is best not to be silent at this time, so they all turned their heads to look at Shoufu Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty, according to the note of Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, the Tatars have sharpened their own Daoyu, and the total number is only five thousand, and the main force of the Tatar is still outside the pass, so there is no need to worry!" Xu Jie stepped forward and arched his hand, and then glanced at Yang Bo and said, "But how to clear this group of Tartars, please ask the secretary of the military department to come up with a strategy!" ”

When Yang Bo heard the word "clean-up", he couldn't help but roll his eyes. If the Ming army was really so strong, or the Mongol cavalry was so weak, there would have been no trouble in the north long ago.

However, he also understood in his heart that Xu Jie was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with him, the secretary of the military department, who had sent the Mongolian cavalry to the Shuntianfu area, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister returned to his headquarters, he has always intended to strengthen the fortification construction of the capital, and he has also made arrangements and drills for such emergencies. Now each city gate is garrisoned by elites, and now the soldiers of the king of Qin are coming soon, and the Beijing division is safe! ”

The choice of words and sentences has been carefully considered, and the tone is even more confident, giving people a rather credible feeling.

When Jiajing heard this, his heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and what he was afraid of was that the Mongolian cavalry would endanger the Beijing Division. And the reason why he relies so much on this military secretary is that he likes Yang Bo's steady style.

Yang Bo glanced at Xu Jie, and then said loudly: "If the Tartars invade the Jingshi, the Qinwang soldiers outside the city will fight a decisive battle with them, even if they can't wipe them out, they can also inflict heavy losses, so there is no need to worry." It's just that the Tartars are cunning, have no fixed place, and have no fixed position, and they are afraid that they are mostly wandering around the Gyeonggi area. The minister thought that the pro-army closed the city and guarded the Beijing division, surrounded by the border army, slowly cut its momentum, and when the Tartars were weak, they would annihilate it, which was the best policy! ”

Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yan Ne, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, exchanged glances, which was clearly a turtle cowering in the city until the people had finished looting and leaving, but it was so strategic, and the kung fu of this secretary of the Ministry of War was really all in his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Yang Aiqing's strategy?" Jiajing's tone obviously changed a lot, and he immediately asked in a loud voice to the important ministers present.

Hearing this tone, everyone guessed what Jiajing's attitude was, and Xu Jie immediately stepped forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Good! Yang Aiqing, then this matter will be handled by your military department according to what you say! Jiajing didn't wait for the other courtiers to express their opinions, even if it was a final word.

He was most afraid of Yang Bozhen's words about how to annihilate the Mongol cavalry, and sent his own army to fight Yunyun. Not to mention the changes in the civil fort in the past, the previous humiliation of Gengxu was like yesterday, and he didn't allow his great tomorrow to be in danger.

It was enough to make sure that the capital was safe and that the Mongol cavalry could leave as soon as possible. As for the annihilation of all the Mongol soldiers, he no longer had the idea of doing so.

Ay......

Wu Shan heard that Jiajing agreed to this plan, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Every year, millions of taels are provided to the border army, and the emperor took out a large amount of silver from Taicang to reorganize the pro-army, but the result was only used to defend the Beijing division. Even if the people have been killed in the territory of Shuntianfu, they choose to watch the people being bullied and ignore it.

However, he also understood, and did not say whether the army had the strength to defeat the five thousand Mongolian cavalry, if he jumped out to ask for the people's life at this time, not only would he be hated by Yang Bo, but the emperor would not necessarily be happy.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at the amiable Xu Jie next to him, the traitor Yan Song had stepped down for more than a year, but this Xu Jie was still not a virtuous minister.

"Wechen obeys!" Yang Bo's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked like a loyal courtier.

It was at this moment that a eunuch came in from outside, saying that there was a hundred thousand urgent military intelligence.

Xu Jie's and the others chuckled in their hearts, and the soldiers who walked in reported: "Your Majesty, thirty miles away from the east gate of the capital, thousands of Mongolian cavalry have just been discovered!" ”

Yang Bo's brows frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that the Mongolian cavalry would really come to Beijing to show off his might, which was already beyond his expectations, and even arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister will go to the city to supervise the army, and the capital of Baoding will be foolproof!" ”

"Yang Aiqing, this matter is for you! You are just right here, come with me to the Taimiao! Jiajing's good mood just now was gone, and he responded helplessly.

According to the fine tradition of the Zhu family, now the capital is disturbed by the Mongols, and he, the emperor, wants to personally go to the Taimiao Temple to plead to the ancestors and ancestors, and pray that the ancestors and the ancestors will bless the capital to spend safely as before, and the Ming Dynasty will be forever.
