Now the Mongols are close at hand, but the army of the nine sides can only send some elites to help in the battle, after all, they can't give up all the defenses for the sake of the Beijing division, although the Mongols have broken through a stronghold, they can't completely give up the entire line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, there are also considerable military horses in the Beijing division, of which there are 100,000 new troops alone, plus the warrior battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the battalions of Shenji and Xiaocai, there are also about 100,000, but Liu Chengfeng is not so optimistic, although the new army can fight, but after all, the expansion is too fast, and many soldiers are new to the battle formation, which may not be reliable. The Warrior Battalion can fight, but the number is too small, and only God knows what the level of the other battalions will be.

This is an excellent opportunity for the Mongolians, Liu Chengfeng knows Li Ruofan too well this woman, this woman can stand out among the Mongolian departments, just a few years of kung fu to unify Mongolia, and now the strength is amazing, the iron cavalry in his hands is at least more than 300,000, and now he has encountered this golden opportunity, he will definitely make a desperate bet and fight hard.

Defeated, it is nothing more than a return to the desert to recuperate.

If he wins, he will go straight to the Ming Jingshi and enter the main pass, even if he doesn't have this ambition, at least he can extort astronomical wealth and retreat.

She will definitely come, and at most half a month, she will appear outside the capital city.

This is Liu Chengfeng's prediction, Liu Chengfeng's estimation is reasonable, he understands this woman, this woman is keen to take risks, so he will never let go of this golden opportunity. But if she just wants to advance slowly, first map Xuanfu and Liaodong, and then march to Beijing, then when the army of King Qin from all over the Ming Dynasty gathers in Beijing, the hope of the Mongols to attack Yanjing will be disillusioned, and it seems that they have taken a lot of advantage, but they have missed the opportunity.

Therefore, Liu Chengfeng believes that Li Ruofan will not be rubbed, and this woman would rather fight a decisive battle than delay.

So from now on, the Beijing division must be ready to defend against the enemy, first of all, the city defense must be strengthened, and secondly, the military horses in the Beijing division must be deployed, the best way is to defend the city, delay time, time is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, the longer the time drags on, the greater the chance of victory.

Of course, it's not that you can't take risks, the problem is that it's not worth the risk, because the bet of the Ming Dynasty is the fortune of the country, and the Mongols come and go like the wind, even if they lose, it will not lose much.

With a plan in his heart, Liu Chengfeng also agreed with Yang Tinghe's plan, Yang Tinghe strongly opposed the emperor's personal conquest, and demanded that the king of Zhenqin be issued immediately, and the intention coincided with Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhu Houzhao was still unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Chu army has 100,000 sailors, and the land division can also draw 100,000 out. ”

After all, the Chu people are also Han people, the Ming Dynasty is the mother country of the Chu State, Liu Chengfeng's estimate is that at most 100,000 people will be transferred to the Beijing division from the border town, and the Beijing division has about 200,000 people, these are all military horses that can fight with the Mongols, as for the military horses of the other towns and guards, they can roughly reach more than 500,000 one after another, but these are all military households, low combat effectiveness, vulnerable, and it may be possible to fight a good battle. In order to increase some insurance, it was also the right time for the state of Chu to send a military horse north.

However, the combat power of the Chu army, Liu Chengfeng does not have much guarantee, after all, it has just been trained, and it is good to have half of the combat power of the new army. This is not a question of combat strength, but a matter of attitude.

Zhu Houzhao sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, it's rare that you have this loyalty, I'm right." But I think the Mongols ......"

Yang Tinghe said angrily: "Your Majesty, for now, you only need to stick to the Jingshi, and the rest don't need to be discussed." ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, and said, "I just said ......"

"Your Majesty......" Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is still safe for now." ”

"But what if the Mongols don't conquer the Jingshi and invade Xuanfu and Liaodong?" Zhu Houzhao is not a military idiot, and it can even be said that he is more professional than the three scholars in the cabinet.

Zhu Houzhao put forward a hypothesis, according to the idea of the ministers, all the military horses were arranged on the front line of Gyeonggi, which is equivalent to giving up Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhou, if the Mongols are willing to fight a decisive battle, if it is just to contain the military horses of the Beijing Division, but divide the troops to attack the nine sides and invade Liaodong, then the Ming Dynasty will have nothing to lose.

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao felt the need to fight in person, with his surname, he would rather fight to the death with the Mongols on the nine sides than to trap the Beijing Division, it seems that it is indeed safe to be trapped in the Beijing Division, but the loss is not small.

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "If the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the border towns can abandon one or two, but the Jingshi must not make a mistake, Your Majesty has ever thought that the mausoleum of the first emperor is in the Jingshi, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is also in the Jingshi, compared with Sheji, what is Liaodong?" How much is Xuanfu worth? ”

This is a matter of grasping the big and letting go of the small, in fact, it can't be said who is right and who is wrong, generally only afterthought people like to judge right and wrong by the ending, but in fact, it is not.

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, his values could not accept Yang Tinghe's proposal to be even, but seeing that he was isolated, even Liu Chengfeng didn't say a word, and at first glance, Master Liu was also on Yang Tinghe's side, so he had to say: "Okay, then do what you want, I have a word first, if the Mongols are unwilling to fight a decisive battle, you will bear the consequences." ”

Yang Tinghe did not hesitate, this scapegoat seemed to be the only one he could do, and he said with a straight face: "Weichen is willing to take responsibility." ”

Li Dongyang felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "The old minister is also willing to guarantee." ”

As for Na Jiao Fang, he obviously has no interest in volunteering to bear the burden on himself, he just makes a statement, once there is a black cauldron, of course he is unwilling to carry it.

Liu Chengfeng didn't make a sound at this time, if he wasn't the king of Chu, he might say a few more words at this time, but after all, he was a vassal king, and some things were not easy to say, so he could only occasionally put forward his own opinions.

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to brush his sleeves and say: "Then issue an order immediately, on the one hand, we must issue an order to appease the defenders in Liaodong, Xuanfu and other places, and on the other hand, let the soldiers and horses of the world be the king, in addition, the grain, grass and ordnance must also be prepared, and we must not be dismissive." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Obey." ”

Zhu Houzhao had a gloomy face and said, "It's getting dark, you guys should leave the palace." ”

Everyone withdrew from the hall together, because the time was in a hurry, and the palace gate was about to close, so everyone left in a hurry, and hurriedly went out of the noon gate, Yang Tinghe called Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongyang, but he was not called Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang was bored, and looked at Liu Chengfeng with a blank look, Liu Chengfeng gave him a look, and asked him to go back first.

Yang Tinghe naturally had something to say, he first saluted Liu Chengfeng, and then said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is angry, and the time is in a hurry, so the old minister still has something to say." One of the most important is that there are so many military horses, who is also in the middle of the dispatch of the problem, His Royal Highness must also know that when this time of the city defense battle, there are not only the warrior battalions in the palace, but also the five battalions of the new army and the Beijing division, as well as the guards and horses and the Chu army from all over the country, and even some border troops will also be drawn over, the battalions are mixed, if there is no respected and convincing person to come out and dispatch from it, I am afraid that the battalions will not be convinced, to tell the truth, the old man thinks that His Royal Highness is the best candidate, and the new army is prepared by His Royal Highness, The Imperial Horse Supervisor is in the hands of Zhang Yongzhang's father-in-law, not to mention the Chu army, as well as those unruly border troops......"

Liu Chengfeng's heart is like a mirror, Yang Tinghe's words are not unreasonable, this guy is indeed a talent, he has thought about everything at once, if you want to say who can subdue the battalions, there is really no one else in this Beijing division except Liu Chengfeng. After all, Liu Chengfeng's title is high, although he is a vassal king, he can be regarded as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he has military merits, which is somewhat convincing. Not to mention that both the New Army and the Chu Army are Liu Chengfeng's masterpieces, as for Zhang Yong's warrior battalion, there is no need to mention it, Zhang Yong was originally Liu Chengfeng's person, as for the other departments, Liu Chengfeng also has some deterrent influence, Liu Chengfeng is not the chief treasurer of this defense war, who else has this qualification?

If it was something else, Liu Chengfeng would definitely refuse, but now that the incident happened suddenly, and it was an extraordinary period, Yang Tinghe even dared to take responsibility, if Liu Chengfeng pushed back in order to avoid suspicion, it would obviously be a little unkind, so Liu Chengfeng said almost without thinking: "This matter is easy to do, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, and this king is such a person who is deeply favored by the emperor?" As long as the palace is willing to nod, the king is naturally willing to serve the king. ”

Yang Ting nodded and glanced at Liu Chengfeng appreciatively, he actually didn't have a good impression of Liu Chengfeng, he felt that this person was too domineering, but now it made him have a good impression, what he was most afraid of was that Liu Chengfeng was afraid of being talked about, and deliberately pushed three things to obstruct, after all, the dynasty did not have the tradition of letting the vassal king lead the military affairs, and it was easy to be attacked by others, but Liu Chengfeng was full of promises, and he was obviously a responsible person.

"Since this is the case, then the rest of the matter depends on the old man and Li Gong, we will play it tomorrow, and ensure that His Royal Highness temporarily takes charge of military affairs on behalf of the emperor, and His Royal Highness will go to rest first, I and Li Gong don't understand the matter of guarding the city, and then His Royal Highness will take precautions, and the old man and Li Gong will be in charge of grain and grass scheduling and appeasing people's hearts."

Li Dongyang said: "Yes, only by performing their duties can we ensure that the society is worry-free, Yang Gong, it seems that you and I can't sleep tonight." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you let the old man sleep, you won't be able to sleep tonight, hey......"
