The stakes are so great that Ding Chong does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the others have not yet set off from the station of the Warats, and the result of the breakdown of this meeting has been sent south as quickly as possible.

It took less than seven days to return to Daming Border Town. When the local defenders learned of this result, they did not know whether to be happy or worried, but one thing was certain, that is, they had to hurry up and prepare for the Mongol invasion that could come at any time.

Then, this final result was also rushed to Beijing by them in an expedited way of 800 miles. Along the way, it took less than three days to change horses and people, and this military information that affected the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people of the world was delivered to the Ministry of War.

At this time, it was the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and although there were still many people in the military department, people had already returned to their minds. But the delivery of this military information made everyone's faces change, and all the good moods and expectations were shattered. Even if they were as steady as Kuang Yu, the two adults were stunned for a long time and it was difficult to come back to their senses.

Although they had also thought that the Mongolian people would refuse this request made by the Ming Dynasty, they never expected that the other party would refuse so decisively! This is an iron determination to openly fight with Daming!

If they were the ones who were sent to negotiate without knowing the roots, they might still be able to suspect that Wang Zhen's party was behind the scenes. But this Ding Chong is recognized and recommended by a major minister, so there is no such problem. This makes them even more speechless!

And Lu Jin, after learning the news, was quite calm, but after being stunned for a while, he said softly: "It seems that nothing can be changed, everything is still on that familiar track!" This year, no one is having a good time......"

This time the matter was so serious, the military department naturally did not dare to delay. Even if today is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to reason, this kind of bad news has to be sent in by the Son of Heaven for a good year, but this time, Kwong Yu made a quick decision and went directly to the palace with this document without any delay.

After watching him hurry away, Lu Zhen stood under the porch and sighed again. said to Yu Qian, who also came out of the public house on the side: "Lord Yu, you said that this news will be good news or bad news for Your Majesty when it comes to the palace?" ”

Yu Qian subconsciously wanted to say that it was bad news, after all, who wants to talk about war lightly? But then, remembering the consistent attitude of the Son of Heaven, he hesitated a little again: "Whether it is good or bad for the Son of Heaven, anyway, this is definitely not a blessing for my Ming Dynasty, let alone a blessing for the people of the world." Once the war with the Mongols starts, countless more people will be ruined and killed because of this......"

But then, his face sank again, and he said with a somewhat resolute look: "However, since he refuses to give in, and he has to threaten my Daming inch by inch, then we should give them a head-on blow, even if it will cost a lot of money!" ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Jin couldn't help but sigh again. Yu Qian is Yu Qian in the end, in the final analysis, he is still a hardliner in his bones. When war seems inevitable, he does not complain or panic like ordinary people, but stimulates his fighting spirit that is far beyond ordinary people.

After a sigh in his heart, Lu Jin's face suddenly changed, he just thought that this battle was inevitable, how could he forget that more important thing. It is not terrible for the Ming Dynasty to start a war with the Mongolian people, what is really terrible is that it happened.

"Lord Yu......" Under the tension in his heart, Lu Jin's voice became a little jerky.

"Huh?" Yu Qian felt the tension between Lu Jin's words, and glanced at the young man with some surprise. In his mind, Lu Jin would not be nervous like this because of this, after all, even if he was a Ming official who didn't want to go to war anymore, he still believed that he still had an absolute advantage in this battle, not to mention that Lu Jin had experienced several battles and had made military merits.

Today's Ming Dynasty, whether it is a monarch or a common man, still has confidence and psychological advantages in the face of the Mongolian people. It is the precious property accumulated by the victories over the Mongolian people in the past hundred years, from the overthrow of the Great Yuan Empire, which ruled the world with a small body, to the Emperor Taizong's personal expedition, sweeping through Mobei, killing the Tartars and holding their heads...... The great victories of that scene have created the confidence and brilliance of today's Daming.

Therefore, even the most pessimistic people, although they are trying their best to prevent this unnecessary war, are also convinced that if the war starts, the Ming will definitely be the victorious side, but the price they need to pay is greater. Even a rational person like Yu Qian has the same opinion.

Lu Zhen didn't care about explaining anything at this time, but said with a nervous expression: "Lord Yu, you said that if His Majesty decides to follow Emperor Taizong's imperial expedition this time, how should we deal with ourselves?" ”

Lu Jin, he finally said the most terrifying speculation. In fact, he also believes that with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty and the combat power of the border army that has not yet completely degenerated, as long as the troops are properly deployed, then even if they can't win, it shouldn't be a problem to draw with the Mongols. However, once the next development is like everything in history, then the tragedy of the civil fort is likely to befall you. That also means that all his efforts over the years have been in vain, which is the root cause of his gaffe.

"How is this possible?" Yu Qian almost subconsciously replied. But as soon as the words came out, his expression changed rapidly, and a hint of foreboding arose in the depths of his heart.

Judging from his understanding of the young Son of Heaven in the palace, and the tough attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the Mongolian people in the past six months, if he really knew the arrogant behavior of the Mongolian people, maybe he would really make the decision to drive the expedition in a fit of anger!

"It must not be allowed to come true!" Yu Qian quickly made a decision in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to go out, obviously wanting to rush to the palace. But the body only moved, but it stopped. What's the matter with yourself doing this? Now that the matter has not yet appeared, you can't just rush to persuade because you are just worried that the Son of Heaven will make such a decision, right?

Lu Zhen also understood at this time, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his face. For this matter, he can only use an inferential tone instead of being completely sure that the Son of Heaven is going to be personally recruited. After all, the fact that he was a traveler was not possible, and even if he did, no one would believe it.

In the end, Yu Qian just categorically expressed his attitude towards this: "If Your Majesty really has such an idea, then I will fight for this official body, and I have to stop him!" ”

In this regard, although Lu Zhen admires, he is not too optimistic. When this war was finally unavoidable, he no longer had much confidence in whether he would be able to change the course of history.

What Lu Zhen and the others were worried about soon became a reality.

When Zhu Qizhen took the urgent military report from Kuang Yu's hand, and learned that the Mongolian people had such an attitude and clamored to send troops to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty, the young Ming Emperor's face suddenly turned red with anger, and he slapped the document on the imperial case fiercely, and angrily reprimanded: "Barbarians are barbarians, can I really be deceived by the Ming Dynasty?" Kwong Ching ...... This is the result that you have always wanted to value peace, and for these Tartars, it is time to subdue them like Taizu Taizong! ”

"Your Majesty...... Shengming! Minister, confess! Kuang Yu did not dare to refute the admonition at this time, after all, he had strongly advocated that the imperial court send someone to negotiate with the Mongols. Now that the other party has such an attitude, it has made the court lose face, and if it is true, he will also be responsible.

Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen is not a cautious emperor, and he just waved his hand when he heard this: "That's it, it's really no wonder that you can't blame you for this matter, who would have thought that these Mongolian people would be afraid of the military might of my Ming Dynasty, and even think of taking the initiative to provoke." But Kuang Qing, this time, you can't dissuade my determination to go on the Northern Expedition. ”

"I don't dare. Since the Mongolian people already have such an attitude, then I must not weaken my momentum! So far, Kwong can only accept this fact, and he, like everyone else, firmly believes that Da Ming can achieve the final victory in this battle.

Hearing his answer, the Emperor smiled with satisfaction. Obviously, Kuang Wei represents the thoughts of the vast majority of courtiers in the court today, so as long as he nods and agrees, then the next thing is just to prepare everything, just wait for the spring of next year to carry out the Northern Expedition.

After sending Kuang Yu away, Zhu Qizhen still looked a little excited, and soon came to the huge sand table again, carefully studying the geography of the city that he was already familiar with, and thinking in his heart how to use troops once the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack.

At this time, Wang Zhen had quietly walked into the warm pavilion. Just now, he was dealing with the relevant matters of the New Year in the celebrant supervisor, and suddenly heard the news that Kuang Yu had entered the palace to face the saint, and guessed that it was the matter of the grassland that had come to an end. After I came to ask, I was even more pleasantly surprised when I knew that my wish for many years was about to come true.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Before and after coming to the Son of Heaven, Wang Zhen bowed down and said this.

This abrupt remark made Zhu Qizhen pull out of his thoughts, and he glanced back at the closest person around him with doubts in his eyes: "Sir, what happy event can I have?" Although today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you must have heard that the Tatars in the north actually refuse to negotiate peace, but will start a war with my Daming, which is not a happy event worth congratulating. ”

"Your Majesty, that's what the old slave has to say. Isn't this the great opportunity Your Majesty has been waiting for for years? This time, if Your Majesty can follow Emperor Taizong's personal expedition and achieve a great victory, then in the future, Your Majesty will also become the king of Shenwu of my Ming Dynasty after Taizong! Wang Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
