In the next few days, Emperor Tianshun did not go to the dynasty, and he was very annoyed by the uncooperative attitude of the Chinese officials of the dynasty.

At this time, the Northern Expedition sent by Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi, had been placed in front of Emperor Tianshun for nearly ten days, but the imperial court still did not show an attitude, which made Emperor Tianshun feel angry at the same time, but also felt a sense of powerlessness and even a trace of fear.

He is the emperor of Daming, the co-lord of the world, and the supreme existence, but the Chinese official forces of the DPRK actually ignore these and openly contradict themselves and fight in the ring, this is no longer a matter of political differences, but the civilian forces are openly threatening the imperial power and curbing the authority of the Tianshun Emperor himself!

This is unbearable for Emperor Tianshun!

For a moment, Emperor Tianshun almost couldn't help but summon the commander of the Beizhen Fusi and the commander of the East Detective Factory, wanting to be ruthless against the die-hard civilian forces in the court and completely cleanse the court.

But then, Emperor Tianshun calmed down, and he was also afraid for a while.

If Beizhen Fusi and Dongji Factory intervene in the administration of the DPRK, this will not only cause a violent backlash from the Chinese officials of the DPRK, make the situation between the DPRK and China turbulent and deteriorate sharply, but also make a very bad start, that is, the factory guards will influence the government of the DPRK, maybe after a hundred years, the history books will write themselves as a faint monarch!

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianshun felt a void in his heart, and at the same time he had a headache, and he couldn't think of how to deal with those civil officials in the court for a while.

At this time, Emperor Tianshun saw the Northern Expedition at hand, and sighed slightly, he wanted to establish meritorious service with this battle to wash away the shame of the defeat of Tumubao, it seems that it is really difficult!

Suddenly, Emperor Tianshun thought: Since this matter was raised by Liu Juntao, the uncle of Ningbei, it is better to listen to Liu Juntao's views on the situation in the DPRK and China at this time, and maybe he can provide some suggestions for himself.

At this time, Emperor Tianshun had nothing to do, so he immediately wrote a handwritten letter and ordered someone to send it to Datong Town, Shanxi overnight.

When Liu Juntao received this handwritten letter from Emperor Tianshun, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Among these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, it is undeniable that there are many capable ministers, cadres, and many righteous people and heroes, but at this time, most of those civil officials in the court are staring at authority, although it is not serious, but there is also a faint shadow of civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty, which makes Liu Juntao deeply worried.

Next to them, Liu Zi'an, Lan Siqi, and Xiang Qun also read Emperor Tianshun's handwriting, and then they were also worried.

Lan Siqi said: "Duxian, what does Your Majesty mean by this? When the governor returns the letter, he must be cautious, so as not to be taken out by His Majesty to gag everyone's mouths at a critical time! ”

Liu Juntao nodded and did not speak.

Liu Zi'an pondered for a while and said, "One more thing, according to intelligence, His Majesty seems to have a lot of evidence of the violation of the law by the Chinese officials of the DPRK, but he only took out a part of it, and he did not plan to completely tear his face with the Chinese officials of the DPRK. His Majesty asked the Governor about this at this time, and the Governor did make him more cautious. ”

At this time, Liu Juntao did not answer Liu Zi'an and Lan Siqi's words, but looked at Xiang Qun, the minister of the military department, and asked, "How are the soldiers and horses of Shanxi and Shandong preparing now?" ”

Xiang Qun said: "Qi Qi Governor, the soldiers and horses of all departments in Shanxi have begun to mobilize, and the soldiers and soldiers of the Tiance Army stationed in Shanxi can be drawn at any time, and the soldiers and horses of the rest of the departments have also begun to go to Datong Town and various key points in western Shanxi to increase their garrison. As for Shandong, the time is too short now, and there has been no further reply, but the chief military officer of Shandong Town replied that the various units of the Tiance Army stationed in Shandong have completed mobilization, and presumably Shandong Town is now hoarding money, grain, and materials. ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Yesterday, Tang Yu, Minister of Commerce, reported to the governor that he had raised money, food, and materials for 100,000 troops to fight for three months. ”

After listening to Liu Juntao's words, the three of them hesitated, they didn't know what Liu Juntao meant, and everyone was still talking about Emperor Tianshun's handwriting, why did Liu Juntao get involved in the transfer of troops and horses in Shanxi and Shandong?

Liu Juntao said: "Now our soldiers and horses in Shandong and Shanxi are ready for a big war, and the imperial court also knows it, Your Majesty also knows it, and those civil officials in the court and the central government know it!" Therefore, the attitude of the Governor at this time is very important, and His Majesty asked the Governor at this time, also to strengthen his confidence in his heart, and at the same time, he also wanted to use us to put pressure on the Chinese officials of the DPRK! ”

After listening to Liu Juntao's words, Liu Zi'an, Xiang Qun, and Lan Siqi were all slightly stunned, Liu Juntao has been a fierce general who can fight in the hearts of the three of them for so many years, and he is a master who has the courage to open up and constantly think whimsically.

Now it seems that Liu Juntao still has his own understanding of the government and politics, and he has a deep knowledge, which makes the three of them very surprised, and they feel that Liu Juntao does not know when, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Lan Siqi asked, "Then how is the governor going to reply to His Majesty?" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Of course, it is to strengthen Your Majesty's heart to go to war!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao pondered for a while, and then Liu Zi'an studied the ink, Lan Siqi paperweight, and Xiang Qunzhang lamp, Liu Juntao immediately wrote a reply to Emperor Tianshun.

That night, a team of Tiance troops rushed to the capital with this reply letter without accepting the soldiers at night.

When Emperor Tianshun received Liu Juntao's reply, he retreated left and right, and opened it and read it alone in the imperial study.

“…… Now that there are Tartars rampant outside the country, and there are civil officials on the inside, how can Your Majesty's majesty stand? …… This war can hit the Tartars hard, raise the prestige of our emperor and Ming, and protect the safety of millions of border people in the country, so the battle of the Northern Expedition is imminent! ”

"If Your Majesty does not send troops to counterattack in this battle, how can the dynasty erect the majesty of Qianjun and deter the Hu clan in all directions! How can Your Majesty intimidate the ministers and maintain the authority of the imperial power! The Chinese official of the DPRK is so noisy, where is His Majesty's dragon power? ……”

Sprinkled with joy, Liu Juntao's reply is thousands of words, Emperor Tianshun read it over and over again, only to see the blood boiling, and sighed: "Ning Beibo is really a loyal minister and a good general!" ”

After that, Emperor Tianshun began to ponder the current situation and began to think of ways to deal with the Chinese officials of the dynasty.

That night, Emperor Tianshun sat in the imperial study for a long time, and did not return to the palace to sleep until the second half of the night.

The next morning, Emperor Tianshun argued with the civil officials above the main hall, and the discussion began again on the main hall.

However, at this time, the civil officials were very tactful, and there was no one to Emperor Tianshun, but to quote scriptures to advise.

As soon as Emperor Tianshun showed his anger, all the civil officials began to remain silent, putting on a look of refusing to cooperate, and Emperor Tianshun was so angry that he had the urge to kill.

Suddenly, the eunuch outside the main hall trotted in in a little panic: "Your Majesty, Liaodong 800 miles to expedite the military report!" ”

Emperor Tianshun was taken aback, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were also a little stunned.

"Bring it on!"

The eunuch Bingbi hurriedly walked over, and the general reported it to Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun saw the cover of the military newspaper written on the cover: "Initiation of the fall of Guangning, the capital of Liaodong", and felt that his blood was suddenly surging, and he slammed this military newspaper on the bookcase, and shouted: "Read! Read it to them! ”

At this time, the hall was already silent, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were holding their breath, especially those civil officials, who did not dare to say anything.

"Minister, the chief soldier of Liaodong wept blood and reported: The Tatar thief chieftain came to raise 50,000 iron cavalry to raid Liaodong, surrounded Guangning City overnight, and repelled the reinforcements from four routes, and the minister intended to mobilize soldiers and horses from Liaodong Town to rescue, but Guangning City was lost overnight, and the rescue was not ......"

"The Tatar army has increased its troops in Guangning, and it has raised 100,000 troops to defend Guangning City for one day, and then divided its troops to the east, and the troops are directed at Liaoyang! The minister has gathered troops and horses to strictly defend Liaoyang City, intending to live and die with the city, and implore His Majesty to mobilize troops to the north and gather and destroy the thieves in Liaodong! ”

The voice of the eunuch Bingbi continued to echo in the main hall, and it shocked the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to dizziness.

Especially those civil officials, they never expected that the information written in Liu Juntao's Northern Expedition was true, and now the Tatar Department has captured Guangning City and is preparing to attack Liaoyang City, everyone This is a big crime of delaying the military aircraft!

"Now that Guangning has fallen and Liaoyang is in an emergency, there are still people who oppose the imperial court sending troops to the Northern Expedition!"

Emperor Tianshun was furious, and loudly scolded the civil officials for misleading the country, and those civil officials heard it very harshly in their ears, but they did not dare to refute it, for fear of being detained for a major crime and being used by Emperor Tianshun to vent his anger.

After venting for a while, Emperor Tianshun blushed and said: "Decree: Order the chief military officer of Liaodong Town to defend Liaoyang, gather soldiers and horses from all over Liaodong to prepare for a counterattack, and make every effort to block the invasion of the Tatar department, so as to win time for the imperial court to mobilize soldiers and horses!" ”

"Message: Order Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi and the governor of Ningbei, to gather troops and set off from Datong Town within ten days to attack the Tatar Department in the north!"

Speaking of which, Emperor Tianshun considered that although the Tatar Department sent 100,000 troops to attack Liaodong, there were at least 300,000 troops left behind in the grassland, and there were 300,000 troops stationed in Hamiwei as reinforcements, so Liu Juntao's troops were definitely insufficient.

So, Emperor Tianshun continued: "Decree: Order Hu Dexing, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, to immediately mobilize troops and horses, and lead the soldiers and horses of the Tiance Army under his command to go north to Datong Town within 15 days, and wait for the dispatch of Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi and Ningbeibo!" ”

When Emperor Tianshun's holy decree was handed down, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback, especially the many civil officials in the imperial court, who spoke out against it.

The focus of everyone's opposition is to hand over the soldiers and horses of Shandong Town to Liu Juntao under the command, so that Liu Juntao's troops in his hands will be more than 100,000 or 200,000, and they are all strong soldiers and horses like the Tiance Army, which is too dangerous for civilian officials!

However, Emperor Tianshun had already made up his mind at this time, and in the face of the opposition of the Chinese officials of the DPRK, he was also ruthless, and killed more than ten people with a rod on the spot, which simply suppressed the opposition of the Chinese officials of the DPRK.

On the same day, the holy decree of Emperor Tianshun was sent to the town of Datong in Shanxi and the town of Jinan in Shandong at the same time.
