Just before the departure of the army, Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, had been anxious, knowing that this battle was dangerous, for the sake of safety, he specially met with Yu Qian, the right attendant of the military department, and handed over the official document he had prepared to Yu Qian, and said: "Tingyi (Yu Qian's words), this time the conscription is dangerous, and I am very uneasy. Now that Gyeonggi is empty, if the war changes, you should prepare early! ”

Yu Qian was immediately shocked when he heard this, and said: "My lord, why does Your Majesty insist on driving the expedition in person this time, this is simply playing with the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Alas! Although His Majesty is not a wise and heroic lord, he is by no means a mediocre king, as for why His Majesty is like this time, hasn't Ting Yi seen it? On the surface, Wang Zhen is bewitching His Majesty, but in fact, someone is secretly adding fuel to the fire! ”

Hearing this, Yu Qian couldn't help but be angry, and said hatefully: "Could it be that in the hearts of these people, the foundation of my Ming Dynasty and the lives of the people are not as good as their black yarn hats!" ”

Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it can't be compared!" ”

At this time, both of them were full of sorrow in their hearts.

"My lord, what do you need me to do after Your Majesty's personal expedition?"

Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, said in a low voice: "After Your Majesty sets out on the expedition, Gyeonggi's defense is empty, and the Tartar iron cavalry is very likely to come to the city!" Therefore, Tingyi should make plans in advance and mobilize troops and horses in the name of the military department to strengthen the defense of the capital, just in case! ”

Yu Qian nodded heavily, clenching his fists and speechless.

Two days later, the orthodox emperor issued an edict and led an army of 500,000 to the north to Deshengmen, accompanied by more than 100 ministers of the court.

The 500,000 army marched out, which can be described as a huge momentum, and the people inside and outside the capital watched one after another, especially when the chariot of the orthodox emperor appeared in the army, the onlookers cheered even more, as if the Tartars who had committed the border had been killed completely.

The orthodox emperor sat in the car, listening to the deafening cheers around him, his heart was very happy, and he thought that his decision to make the imperial expedition was correct.

And Wang Zhen, who accompanied him next to the orthodox emperor's car, was also drunk at this time, and secretly said in his heart: "When I return from this expedition, the miscellaneous family will definitely be able to obtain the sacred heart alone, and when the time comes, who else will dare to embarrass the miscellaneous family!" ”

Just as the army slowly opened out of Desheng Gate, Yu Qian also stood at the head of the city, looking at the soldiers of the Ming army marching all the way north, his heart was full of sadness, his eyes were slightly red, and he was almost about to cry.

At the same time, there was a trace of trepidation in Yu Qian's heart, which was a worry about the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty!

The 500,000 troops marched north through the Desheng Gate and went out of the city, from early morning to evening, when the last team of soldiers drove out of the city, Yu Qian shook a little, turned around and walked down the city.

At this time, Yu Qian had been standing in the city for a whole day, not moving!

After Yu Qian walked down the city, he did not return home, but rushed directly to the military headquarters.

Yu Qian knew in his heart that since the orthodox emperor had already conquered the expedition, he had to start preparing against time, otherwise once he hadn't done a good job of remedying it when the sky was falling apart, the Ming Dynasty would fall into the abyss of no return!

That night, after Yu Qian began to contact the martial artists and founding heroes who were still in the capital, he wanted to unite everyone to temporarily stabilize the situation and buy time for himself to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country to enter Beijing to defend his defense.

However, at this time, the number of martial artists and founding heroes in the capital is not only very small, but also generally of low grade and no real power.

"I hope that those people in the DPRK have not yet reached the point of madness, even if they fight for power and profit, they will have to wait until after the end of the war!"

Yu Qian secretly thought in his heart that after getting in touch with all the martial artists and founding heroes in the capital, it was already dawn, but Yu Qian still did not go home to rest, but immediately convened the officials of the military department to discuss the matter of transferring troops into Beijing.

After that, for three days, Yu Qian ate and lived in the military department, and together with the officials of the military department, he selected more than a dozen elite soldiers stationed in various provinces, and prepared to be transferred to the capital to garrison together.

"Zhejiang Garrison ......"

"Sichuan toast soldiers are good at fighting bravely, and they can be of great use......"

"There are many soldiers in Henan, so one can be transferred to Beijing ......"

"Shandong Yanzhou Mansion has outstanding combat strength and repeated military exploits, and can be recruited and transferred to Beijing ......"

Yu Qian looked at the inventory in his hand, which was full of elite soldiers and strong generals from all over the country, and had a little confidence in his heart, so he hurriedly entered the palace with this inventory and the notes agreed upon by the Ministry of War.

If the Ministry of War wants to recruit troops and horses from all over the country to Beijing to assist in defense, it must obtain the consent of Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servant who is in charge of the country.

So, Yu Qian reported the matter to Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, on the same day, and asked for the consent of Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, on the spot.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, also had objections to the matter of the orthodox emperor's personal conquest, but in view of his identity, he could not prevent the orthodox emperor from making a decision.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, said to Qian: "Yu Shilang, since the military department is now your main business, then you can let it go, whatever happens, it will be borne by this king!" ”

Yu Qian was moved in his heart when he heard this, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, King Yu, the lower officials will do their best to revitalize the defense of Gyeonggi!" ”

After leaving the palace, Yu Qian hurried back to the Ministry of War, stamped the document on the recruitment and deployment of soldiers and horses drawn up by the Ministry of War, and immediately sent it to the provinces.

Due to the different distances of each province from the capital, it is impossible to require soldiers and horses from all over the country to arrive in the capital at the same time.

Yu Qian could only first ask the soldiers and horses from Shandong and Henan provinces to arrive in the capital within 20 days to set up defenses.

As for the soldiers and horses in the other distant provinces, Yu Qian could only relax the time limit and asked to arrive in the capital within two months to stand by.

On the same day, dozens of elite knights rushed out of the military headquarters and rushed towards the gates of the capital, going to the provinces to deliver the order to transfer troops.

Only four days later, Liu Juntao received an order from the Ministry of War to transfer troops.

Looking at the date on the order, Liu Juntao was also shocked, in just four days, the order of the military department was sent from the capital to Yushan Town, Yanzhou Prefecture, such a speed can be called a god's speed, even in the later generations with complete road facilities, just using horses to deliver news may not be so fast!

"It seems that although the Ming Dynasty at this time is not as strong as it was in Hongwu and Yongle, it is still a superpower at this time, and once the state machine is in operation, it can still burst out with amazing power!"

Indeed, in the Tumubao Incident in history, although the Ming Dynasty lost 500,000 troops, and the smoke continued to smoke in various parts of the nine sides, it still severely damaged the Wara army, which shows that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time is still strong and can quickly recover from the defeat.

For Liu Juntao, the real threat is not the Warat Iron Cavalry that went south this time, because Liu Juntao, who is familiar with history, understands that the Warat Iron Cavalry is doomed!

And what really made Liu Juntao sleepless was those civilian cliques who were ready to take advantage of the loss of the Ming Wuxun group and seize power!

This is also the reason why Liu Juntao is eager to participate in the upcoming battle to defend Beijing, only by accumulating enough military exploits can he be steadily promoted, and finally enter the court to affect the trend of national fortunes.

"The Ming in my mind should be a Ming who admires literature and martial arts like the Han and Tang Dynasties, and is high-spirited, rather than a Ming who is noble and martial, dilapidated and conservative!"

Liu Juntao said secretly in his heart, and the ministers Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu, Liu Zi'an, Lan Siqi and other ministers who had already gathered in the government office, Hu Dexing, Zhang Baigui and other Si Cheng, as well as Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Sun Xu, Zhou Zongsheng and other commanders, sat on both sides at this time, and they all looked at Liu Juntao energetically.

Liu Juntao looked at his group of subordinates, and suddenly swelled with pride in his heart, and said secretly: "I have gathered thunder and thunder in my hands, see how I fight the Tartars and protect me in China!" ”
