Wen Tiren took Su Tiancheng, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others and entered the Taihe Hall directly.

On the main hall, Zhu Youzhen smiled, and couldn't suppress his excitement, it is said that Zhu Youzhen should wait for all the ministers to arrive before he will drive the Taihe Palace, but he can't help it.

The brocade guards guarded a dozen Tartar captives and waited outside the Taihe Palace.

Many ministers looked at a few embarrassed Tartar captives, some impatient ministers, and even spat at the Tartar captives, of course they were much more civilized than the common people, but from the eyes of the eyes, if they were on the street, maybe they would also go forward, fists and feet, and the court ministers also hated the Tartars.

"The ministers meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live......"

"Excuse me, Su Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, you are the heroes of my Ming Dynasty, the greatest heroes."

Su Tiancheng chuckled in his heart, this Zhu Youzhen was too composed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare, the Jiangning battalion protects the family and the country, and guards the Ming Dynasty, it is the duty, if the Tartars are allowed to plunder, it is a dereliction of duty, although the Jiangning battalion exterminated 20,000 Tartars, however, there are still 80,000 Tartars led by Azig, who are plundering in the area of Baoding Mansion, and the Jiangning battalion is still very heavy, only by expelling the Tartars from my Daming realm, the Jiangning battalion can be regarded as completing the task."

Su Tiancheng said this, it was carefully considered, he needs to cool down, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is extraordinary, with more than 30,000 people in the Jiangning battalion, plus the Datong border army that came to reinforce, it is impossible to annihilate 80,000 Tartars, if it is not done well, it may cause heavy losses, the emperor and the ministers of the court must think that the Jiangning battalion is invincible and can annihilate all the Tartars. You must first clarify your goals.

Zhu Youzhen was indeed stunned for a moment.

"Su Aiqing, the Jiangning battalion has achieved such a huge victory, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and exterminate the Tartars."

"Your Majesty, in the first battle of Fangshan, the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army wiped out more than 14,000 Tartars, but their own losses were also heavy, with nearly 10,000 casualties, especially the Datong border army, with a loss of nearly 7,000 people. Lord Hong led the rest of the Jiangning battalion officers and men to Fangshan County today, and the total strength of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army was more than 50,000 people. It is possible to drive out the Tartars, but to annihilate them. Not for now. ”

"Oh. In the battle of Fangshan, the losses were so huge. ”

"Yes, the minister's previous opinion was to start a decisive battle with the Tartars in the Gyeonggi area and beat the Tartars. Let the Tartars not dare to enter my Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, so that the imperial court can make every effort to exterminate the Liukou and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Under such conditions, only then can we consider taking the initiative to attack Houjin. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and didn't speak for the time being.

Wen Tiren spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Su said is feasible, Azig led 80,000 Tartars, after learning that the loss of 20,000 Tartars, he will definitely launch an attack, the responsibility of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army is still heavy, to resist the 80,000 Tartars, we must be cautious, the minister thinks that the emperor's plan is feasible, after expelling the Tartars, let the Jiangning battalion make every effort to exterminate the Liukou, the provincial capital, state and county officials are committed to the people's livelihood, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, gather the strength of my Ming Dynasty, and when the time is ripe, attack Houjin and regain the lost territory."

After Wen Tiren spoke, the rest of the cabinet ministers also expressed their positions.

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly.

"Well, what you Aiqing said is reasonable, I still say that, the matter of fighting against the Tartars, Su Aiqing will make a decision on the spot, including me, do not interfere with your deployment, how to fight, a few days ago, Su Aiqing promised to exterminate 20,000 Tartars in front of me, but in a few days, the goal was achieved, but Su Aiqing can not be satisfied, I look forward to a greater victory in the Jiangning camp."

"Obey."

Su Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, what he was afraid of was that Zhu Youzhen put forward new requirements on top of the main hall, so that Jiang Ningying could not do it, and it might cause heavy losses. Now it seems that such a situation has been averted.

The next step is to sacrifice the prisoners.

Aduoga is a general, and he is the general of the county king Azig, and he was actually captured by Jiangning Yingsheng, which is very morale-boosting. The significance of this sacrifice of prisoners is far greater than the previous ones, after all, the rogues belong to civil strife, and dealing with the latter metal is used to fight against foreign invasions.

The understanding of the ministers of the court is also like this, for the harassment of the Liukou, including the mutiny of the Ming soldiers, they all think that it is an internal problem, because life is unsustainable and can be forgiven, so after the capture of the leader of the Liukou, many people also intercede for them, and many people agree with the policy of the imperial court on appeasing the Liukou, but the attitude towards Houjin is completely different.

A few people hated by everyone were Kong Youde, Geng Zhongmin and Shang Kexi, the three of them were originally generals of the Ming Dynasty, but because of their own interests they rebelled, and finally took refuge in Houjin, which is not only the shame of Kong Youde and others, but also the shame of the Ming Dynasty.

When Aduoga and the others were escorted into the main hall, there were hateful eyes in the main hall.

Su Tiancheng was a little apprehensive, he didn't want to kill Aduoga, if he had such a thought, he would do it as early as outside Fangshan County, and there was no need to work hard to escort Aduoga to the capital, anyway, Aduoga's identity is the deputy general, and he is the general of the county king Azig, this is a good bargaining chip, and it is the most cost-effective to exchange something through Aduoga.

Like a strong general like Aduoga, there are still a lot of Houjin, and it is impossible to break the muscles and bones if you lose one person.

However, when I saw the eyes of the ministers, I couldn't wait to cut Aduoga and the others with a thousand knives.

Zhu Youzhen tried his best to suppress his anger and slowly spoke.

"Su Aiqing, these Houjin Tartars, I will behead them for public display, so that the people of Jingshi will come to visit and come to see, this is the end of invading my Daming."

Su Tiancheng gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions."

The inside of the hall fell silent instantly.

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang and others, their faces turned pale, they thought that Su Tiancheng's head was wrong, and beheaded Aduoga and others to show the public, just to inspire the hearts of the soldiers and the people, what's wrong with this, could it be that Su Tiancheng still wants to subdue Aduoga, after all, it is a foreign race, how can it be true.

"Su Aiqing, why do you say that."

Zhu Youzhen's tone was very bad, and although the expression on his face had not changed, it could be seen that he was dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that killing Aduoga will not be able to get the greatest benefit, and keeping Aduoga and trading with Houjin is the most cost-effective thing."

Zhu You was stunned, he didn't think of this layer at all.

"Oh, let's talk about it quickly, how Su Aiqing thinks about it."

"Your Majesty, Aduoga is the general of the county king Azig, he is the deputy general, and his identity is very good, the minister thinks that he can use Aduoga in exchange for Kong Youde, Geng Zhongmin or any one of Shang Kexi, the three of them have betrayed the enemy and betrayed the country, and they have been named princes, presumably Huang Taiji will not make such a deal, in this way, Huang Taiji will not have to face Azig's questioning, but also deal with the criticism of those barbarians in Houjin, why protect the Han people, unwilling to exchange. In this way, we will definitely be able to cause disunity within them, which will be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty. ”

A smile began to appear on Zhu Youzhen's face.

"If Huang Taiji is unwilling to exchange, at that time, it is also feasible for the imperial court to kill Aduoga again."

"Such the best of both worlds, the minister thinks, must be able to do."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that Su Aiqing's proposal is indeed feasible, you might as well use Aduoga to exchange it with the Emperor Taiji of Houjin, what do you think?"

It was Wen Tiren who spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible, and the minister seconded such a matter of having the best of both worlds."

Many ministers seconded the proposal.

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Okay, then that's it, put Aduoga and the others in prison and keep them under strict guard."

After seeing Aduoga and the others being escorted out, Zhu Youzhen sighed softly.

"It would be nice if I could capture Azig alive."

All the people in the hall heard this.

Su Tiancheng's face turned pale, he captured Azig alive, what are you kidding, where is this a casual thing, he is the county king of Houjin, and there are many personal guards around him, if he can be caught so easily, it also shows that the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is too worthless.

Su Tiancheng lowered his head and pretended not to see the eyes around him.

At this time, he won't express his position, he won't say anything, it's obviously impossible, and it's better for him not to say anything.

Regarding the matter of the Jiangning battalion's commendation, it is not the time to discuss, the 80,000 Tartars led by Azig are still ravaging in the area of Baoding Mansion, of course, Azig will soon get the news, the 100,000 troops brought by him, 20,000 troops have been wiped out by the Daming Jiangning Battalion, I believe that after Azig gets the news, he will definitely be furious, with all the Tartars, crazy revenge.

Zhu Youzhen did not retain Su Tiancheng and others.

Leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Tiancheng walked out of the Forbidden City under the gaze of the ministers.

The eunuch who escorted Su Tiancheng out of the Forbidden City walked outside the noon gate, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Su Tiancheng.

"Master Su, this is a letter from the prince and the slave to bring you."

Su Tiancheng nodded, took the letter, and gave the eunuch an ingot of gold by the way.

The eunuch did not refuse, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

Su Tiancheng did not stay in the capital, he wanted to return to Fangshan County immediately, the next plan has been arranged, Hong Chengchou has rushed to Fangshan County with 15,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers.

Su Tiancheng wanted to continue to set up an ambush in Fangshan County, and attack the 80,000 Tartar army led by Azig here, this time, all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion had arrived in Beijing, and Su Tiancheng had enough confidence to defeat the Tartars.

Of course, this is only a defeat, and I dare not say that the Tartars will be annihilated, there are 80,000 people, and if they cross in one battle, it will be too inconsistent with history. (To be continued......)
