On the Zichen Hall of the Qianqing Palace

Emperor Ming Ling stood up violently, and as soon as he raised his hand, he angrily threw down the front-line battle report submitted by the military department in his hand, raised his right index finger and pointed at the courtiers below, and reprimanded loudly:

"I asked for military salaries, I gave it, I asked for food, and I also gave it, and as a result, you gave me this virtue, you say, half of the treasury was invested in half a year, and the silver of the summer tax was basically invested, and the result was the glorious record of being attacked by others in eighteen cities in a row.

Does this sound like a word? Li Qing's family, the secretary of the military department? ”

"The minister is guilty!"

Li Yan knew that the battle report was handed over, and he, the secretary of the military department, would definitely not be able to please him, but in his position, he could only take this responsibility, and quickly stood up first to ask for a statement before speaking.

"You are guilty, you are guilty, what is the use of you being guilty, if you are guilty, you can save the people who were slaughtered, and you can recover eighteen cities?

What about Yin Guogong, the Wang Fuqiang who surrendered in battle was recommended by him, where did he go? Don't tell me I'm sick again today! ”

Emperor Ming Ling is now a powder keg, pointing to that and that, and blowing that, if he doesn't vent the evil fire in his heart, the court will not be safe.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Yin Guogong said that he occasionally felt cold, and the court was afraid of dissipating illness and did not dare to come. ”

There is no way to return to the person, he is responsible for ordering the sick, and he doesn't say who says it.

"An old thief, if he is sick, let him recuperate for half a year, and then send a doctor to see him, give him a good look, good medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion together."

Emperor Ming Ling is angry, now this Yin Guogong didn't just bump into his muzzle, the other party is not very wrong, he naturally can't cut the knight or anything, he can only let the imperial doctor toss him well, and vent his anger.

After that, he continued: "The new army has been defeated now, you say, who will be sent to continue the conquest of the new southern country, I don't want to hear the words of peace again, a small country in southern Xinjiang is so presumptuous, if it is not destroyed, where is the prestige of our great country.

British Prince, Li Guogong, both of you are old ministers of my father's reign, and they were both fierce generals in their prime, do you have any good people to recommend, and your own sons and nephews are also OK, after all, you don't avoid relatives in the internal move, don't shirk this time. ”

Emperor Ming Ling began to gradually weaken the power of military generals about ten years ago, because at that time he was very successful in civil and martial arts, and there were no small countries around him who dared to violate the border.

Those military attachés are not stupid, not to mention that they still have advisers, but they don't want to rebel, so they finally acquiesced in this matter, and began to gradually gather their own forces, hand over the military power in their hands, and train their heirs in other directions.

I just want to be stable.

As a result, it has created a situation in which even a small country on the border is not an opponent.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and other godsons have no way, and the descendants of the family are all incompetent, and they can't be literate, so they really don't dare to laugh and be generous."

Oh, suppress them when they're useless, and want to use them when they're useful, where is such a good thing, who hasn't had a temper?

The status of the British Duke and the Duke of Li Guo are not low, and they are naturally not afraid of offending people, not to mention that now is the time to use them, so don't blame them for being reserved and taking a tone!

Emperor Ming Ling was not angry at this time, he could only hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and wanted to persuade again, but he opened his mouth, and before he could say a word, there was a loud roar of urgency in Northern Xinjiang outside the hall, accompanied by a roar that was a little torn in the voice, a soldier covered with dust rolled in, roared again, and raised his hand to take out the emergency battle report he brought.

Then, he fainted.

The inner supervisor on the side hurriedly carried the unconscious soldier to the side, and sent someone to find the imperial doctor to help take a look, while the other inner supervisor hurriedly handed over the somewhat wrinkled emergency report, and after several transfers, it was finally handed over to Emperor Ming Ling, and at this time, the ministers had already panicked because of the urgency in the northern Xinjiang just now.

To tell the truth, even if the new southern country in the south has already gone down to eighteen cities, they don't think that the new southern country can have any big chaos, because in the history of their side, there has never been a war from the south and the country has been destroyed, but the north is different, the northern barbarians have always been fierce, and they often slaughter cities, and even after several dynasties, many powerful dynasties have either been destroyed by the barbarians, or because of those barbarians, they have caused internal chaos, and finally collapsed and destroyed, and a new dynasty was re-established, so everyone was very panicked about the barbarian invasion and breakthrough.

Emperor Ming Ling has also read the emergency war report at this time, how to describe it, it can only be said that it coincides with the house leakage and heavy rain, this year's barbarian grassland has heavy snow, frozen cattle and sheep do not know the number, in order to survive the winter, they can only quickly start to plunder, if it is just plundering and leaving, it will not be necessary to send an urgent report, the key is that after those barbarians entered the customs, they learned that many armies here were involved in the new south of the south, and I am afraid that they will not be able to transfer troops to deal with them in a short time. Therefore, those barbarians were bolder again, and they simply fought deeper, and even wanted to enter Beijing to plunder.

No, three levels have been broken in a row, and the distance from the capital is not very far, and the officials on the northern side of Xinjiang found that the situation could not be hidden, so they could only quickly send someone to send an urgent report to request the transfer of troops.

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the northern frontier should not be underestimated, the minister is still honest and not old, and he is willing to lead 100,000 soldiers to expel the barbarians and protect the territory of the northern frontier!"

This situation is different from the south, so after the Duke of Li Guo and the Duke of Britain glanced at each other, the Duke of Britain hurriedly stepped forward and asked to go on the expedition, he did this, in addition to really not wanting the country to have chaos, but also for their royal family, the main lineage of their Wang family lives in the north, if the north really can't hold it, judging from the results of their family that have killed nearly 10,000 barbarians, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the slaughter of those barbarians, so whether it is for the country or the family, he can't continue to shirk.

"Okay, good, the British Duke is worthy of being the general of the town in the past, and he really serves the country and the people, but I don't know which soldiers the British Duke needs to send to follow the expedition together, and how much grain and grass is needed, the matter in the north of Xinjiang is really undelayed, I will ask the household department to speed up the collection of grain and grass as much as possible, and I hope that the British Duke can go out as soon as possible, don't delay the opportunity."

Although Emperor Ming Ling was still a little worried about whether the British Duke would be a little old, but now looking at the court, many of the younger generation of soldiers have never fought with the barbarians, how dare Emperor Ming Ling rest assured that he would entrust them with the matter of attacking the barbarians.

At this time, he could only choose to trust the British public as much as possible.
