The faces of the court officials turned pale in an instant, and they thought with trembling hearts:

"Slaughtering the ......"

"Bingbu!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly, and the secretary of the military department came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the defenders of the northern border pass do not dare to move, in case Huang Taiji suddenly moves the direction of the attack. Therefore, it can only be drawn from other places. Now 50,000 troops have been dispatched and are galloping towards Datong in the starry night. It will take you four days to reach Datong. It's just that this little force is not enough to resist Huang Taiji, and I ask Your Majesty to order the dispatch of the southern army to help. ”

"Ministry of Industry!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly again.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said: "The equipment and materials in the army have begun to be transported to Datong, but because of the lack of equipment, the Ministry of Industry needs to rush the production time, so it only began to be transported to Datong yesterday, and it still needs to be ...... Eight days ......"

"Smack!" Emperor Jiajing angrily slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "Eight days! Eight days later, I'm afraid Datong will be slaughtered. ”

The hundred officials were silent, but they were muttering in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Jiajing spent money all day long to cultivate the Tao, so that the Ministry of Industry usually had no money to make military equipment, how could there be today's things?

Emperor Jiajing looked at Ma Fang and said, "Ma Qing! ”

Ma Fang immediately went out of the class and said: "The minister is willing to go to Datong and swear to live and die with Datong." ”

"Is there a way to retreat?"

Ma Fang said with a solemn expression: "Datong must be defended, and the minister also needs to transfer those who were transferred to the southeast." ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "Can you hold it?" ”

Ma Fang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just try my best!" ”

Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at Luo Xin, but then moved his gaze elsewhere. To be honest, at this time, he was really a little afraid to ask Luo Xin, because in his heart, Luo Xin was the last straw, once he asked Luo Xin, Luo Xin had no choice, wouldn't it be time for the country to break? Therefore, he still pinned his hopes on the hundred officials.

However, it is okay for these officials of the Ming Dynasty to recite poems against each other, so that they can come up with a strategy to defend against the enemy, maybe only Ma Fang can still say one or two.

In the end, Emperor Jiajing's gaze fell on Gao Gong's body and said, "Gao Qing! ”

Gao Gong bowed out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, although the grassland is now prosperous, the 200,000 army is already all the strength of their grassland, but we are different. There are millions of troops at the northern border alone. We can first draw a part of the troops from each of the nine towns in the border pass, so that we will rush to the aid of Datong in the shortest possible time and strive to ensure that Datong is not lost. Moreover, we have only drawn a part of the troops from the nine towns of the border pass, and this part of the troops can be used as reinforcements. Even if Huang Taiji turned around and attacked any of the nine towns in the border pass, this support army could rush to the aid immediately. ”

Emperor Jiajing's expression eased when he heard this, and he nodded slightly. He turned to Xu Jie again and said, "What does Xu Qing think?" ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to the fact that we can draw some of the troops from the nine towns of the border pass to form a support army, we will immediately send a large army from all over the south to help Datong. After all, the strength of my Ming Dynasty is far superior to that of the grassland, and when we gather a million more troops at the border pass, it will be when Huangtaiji's army is defeated. ”

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said: "Xuan Zhen's will, transfer 20,000 each of the nine towns of the border pass to form a mobile reinforcement army, and immediately rush to Datong." Mobilize the garrisons in the southeast, southwest, and Bashu to Datong at the fastest speed. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Xu Qing, Ma Qing, Gao Qing, Luo Qing, follow me to the imperial study. Retreat! ”

The hundred officials retreated, and Xu Jie, Ma Fang, Gao Gong and Luo Xin walked towards the imperial study. These four people are all wise people, especially Ma Fang and Luo Xin, who are people who know military affairs, and they frowned tightly along the way. Xu Jie has also been in the cabinet for a long time, although he doesn't know about military affairs, but he is not a stranger, don't look at him above the court, but he has no bottom in his heart. Gao Gong didn't know much about military affairs, so his demeanor was the most peaceful, because he felt that if he really wanted to gather the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the grassland must not be an opponent.

Seeing that he had arrived at the door of the imperial study, Luo Xin exhaled lightly and stretched his constricted brows, not because he had any idea in his heart, but because he didn't want Emperor Jiajing to see his worried look, which made Emperor Jiajing panic. After all, this is an era in which the emperor decides the world, and if Emperor Jiajing panics, the country will be finished.

Entering the imperial study, Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, his eyes swept over the four people standing below, and said lightly:

"Throne!"

Immediately, a little eunuch brought a brocade stool for each of the four people, and the four of them sat down after thanking them.

The imperial study was very quiet, Emperor Jiajing did not speak, and Xu Jie and the other four did not dare to speak. For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study was very depressing.

Emperor Jiajing's gaze swept back and forth on the faces of the four people, and finally fell on Luo Xin's face, and said in a condensed voice:

"Luo Qing, what do you think of the war in the north?"

Luo Xin hurriedly stood up and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I'm not optimistic!" ”

"Huh?"

Emperor Jiajing's expression changed, and the faces of Xu Jie, Ma Fang and Gao Gong also changed. Xu Jiehe Gao Gong's faces became solemn, Ma Fang was Luo Xin's friend and knew Luo Xin very well. Xu Jie is Luo Xin's enemy, and naturally he knows Luo Xin very well, they know that Luo Xin can be described as a generation of famous generals, and if he is not optimistic from his mouth, it must be in crisis.

Only Gao Gong's face showed a trace of contempt, Gao Gong is also a generation of Wenzong, once served as the country's eunuch and the great sacrificial wine, there is nothing to say, but for the military is still taken for granted, in his heart, once the Ming millions of troops are assembled, the 200,000 troops in the grassland are to hit the stone with pebbles, it seems that Luo Xin's victory over Alatan Khan was mostly a fluke.

"No!" Gao Gong said lightly: "Lie, right? Alatan Khan can't pose a threat to my Ming, so what can his son do? As long as Datong can hold out for four days, 50,000 reinforcements will arrive in Datong, with the addition of 50,000 troops, it is bound to be able to hold out longer, and then the mobile reinforcements composed of nine towns in the border pass will arrive in Datong, and the strength will exceed Huang Taiji, not to mention defeating Huang Taiji, but it is not a problem to hold on. Finally, when reinforcements from the southeast, southwest and Bashu and other places arrive in Datong, it is the time to annihilate Huangtaiji. ”

Gao Gong's words fell, Ma Fang nodded again and again, he is just a military general, all he thinks about is military affairs, in his opinion, Gao Gong is right, as long as he is sent to Datong and let him command a million army, he will definitely be able to give Huang Taiji a headache.

But Xu Jie's thinking was not about military affairs, because he didn't understand military affairs, but he was thinking about people's livelihood, so his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
