"Ladies and gentlemen, the front line of Changping and Shunyi is the last outer defensive position in the north of the Beijing Division. Once lost, the Beijing division will be completely surrounded by the puppet army and become a lonely boat in the North China Plain! ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to gather heavy troops to recapture this strategic place before the puppet army enters Changping, and use it as a base for advance or to seize Miyun and Huairou to the north, and open up communication channels with the Mongol vassals; Or go east to seize Zunhua and Yongping, and open up the international rescue channel of Shanhaiguan! ”

"Everyone, this plan is the last chance for the Jingshi, and it is also the last chance for the Qing Dynasty, everyone must go all out unconditionally, and must no longer hide selfishness, otherwise, the imperial court is in danger, and the Qing Dynasty is in danger!"

At the military meeting urgently held in the Yangxin Palace, Lao Fu officially took out the battle plan formulated by his brother-in-law Yin Letu and Wang Jintai, the squire of the military department, and asked the Beijing division to enter a state of full mobilization, allocate no less than 40,000 elite troops to recapture Changping, and launch the "Eastern Expedition" or "Western Expedition".

Whether to open the Shanhai Pass or Mongolia depends on the enemy's mobilization of forces.

That is, if the enemy is strong in the Jingdong region, he will launch a westward expedition.

Otherwise, it is a crusade to the east.

This strategic plan is undoubtedly wise, and it is no longer realistic to continue to be trapped in inaction, expecting so-called reinforcements.

At present, there is no evidence that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai tried to rescue the Jingshi, that is, it is possible that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai were attacking Shanhaiguan under the command of the Shengjing general Hongxiang, or it is possible that Hongxiang did not have any rescue action at all.

Nor is there any evidence that the soldiers and horses of the provincial Qinwang are approaching the Jingshi.

Therefore, although the Jingshi grain can be supported for half a year, and even more than a year if the food and clothing are reduced, it is impossible to determine whether there is foreign aid or not, and both the morale of the army and the hearts of the people will gradually decrease with the passage of time, and eventually lead to the city being captured by the enemy.

In particular, the defection of Changping, which is the center of gravity of the outer defense, will completely "turn the enemy's military power into Beijing."

In view of this, Lao Fu, who was the fierce tiger of the empire, strongly demanded that the market garden plan be launched immediately in line with the attitude of being responsible for the Qing Dynasty and the millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing.

Retake Changping at all costs and recapture Daquan!

In the plan, the regent Prince An needs to come out with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

That is, Prince An's troops were the main force in this battle, and the other 10,000 people were drawn from the troops under the jurisdiction of the Admiral of Jiumen and the prince's army.

It's not that the old rich man wants to use this to arrange to hollow out Uncle Se's family foundation, but in fact, the troops in Beijing who can fight well are all there, and at this time of national disaster, it should be time for your Uncle Se to give the devil a little shock as the regent.

As long as Changping can be recaptured and Daquan can be recaptured, even if it cannot break through the enemy's blockade and realize the intention of the eastern or western expedition, the situation will develop in a better direction again.

For the old rich himself, it is very advantageous.

There were more than 30 princes and ministers attending the meeting, and in addition to the military princes who participated in the imperial cabinet, the main officials of various ministries were there.

Emperor Qianlong, who had retreated to the second line, attended the meeting as the emperor's general adviser, and although he did not have the right to speak, his attitude was very important.

After all, he has been an emperor for more than 40 years, and he still has weight in the minds of many people.

Qianlong behaved very well, sitting there and looking at the old man who was telling the princes and ministers about the battle arrangements, nodding his head from time to time and agreeing deeply, from time to time his expression was solemn and puzzled, and from time to time his eyes lit up, and he admired the deployment of the old man and threw himself to the ground.

As the emperor, Yongxuan supported this counterattack plan out of confidence in the rich father, and said that if Changping could be recaptured and the rescue channel with the outside world could be opened, all the officers and soldiers would get half a future, and he, the emperor, would not hesitate to reward the leading generals.

"Do you have any comments on the campaign arrangement? If so, please be bold and make up for the gaps. ”

Lao Fu put down his baton, walked to the seat, sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

I don't know when it started, but the small meeting of the imperial court not only began to provide seats for the princes and ministers attending the meeting, but also provided free tea and snacks.

It may be inherited from the last Council of Princes and Ministers.

In this regard, neither Lao Fu nor Prince An, or any prince, have spoken to abolish it.

Because, this mode of meeting is very much in line with their reorientation of imperial power.

The emperor, as the co-ruler of the world, it is better to sit there and not say anything.

The affairs of the state are handled by the princes and ministers in consultation.

At present, both the previous emperor Qianlong and the current emperor Jiaqing have followed this unspoken rule, ending the high-pressure environment of the court since Qianlong.

The Military Aircraft Department has completely become the highest department of power.

Under internal and external pressure, the system of constitutional monarchy was miraculously born in the small imperial court of Jiaqing in Beijing.

The princes and ministers began to discuss, and the final result was that they unanimously agreed on Fuzhongtang's vegetable market garden plan, and they all believed that the recapture of Changping was the lifeline of retaking Jingshi.

Liang Guozhi, Minister of Military Aircraft and Han, got up and spoke excitedly: "The country has raised eight banners for a hundred years, and the Day of Righteous Death is today!" ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shoutong, another Han military aircraft, went further and said: "The minister is willing to lead the army into battle as the minister of military aircraft!" ”

This system is established.

During the Chongzhen period of the former Ming Dynasty, it was standard for the cabinet scholars to lead the army to go on expeditions.

It's really a road that knows horsepower, and Bandang knows loyal ministers!

The statements of the two Han ministers Liang and Yuan attracted unanimous applause from the princes and ministers present, and even Lianghuan, the king of Yujun, said that he would kill the enemy with the soldiers with the respect of the county king.

If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent!

It is not worthy of the Taizu blood flowing in his body.

"It's time to fight the devil! Your Majesty, the minister Jin Jian is willing to lead the coat to kill the emperor in front! ”

Not long ago, Jin Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was imprisoned because of the members of the rich party, excitedly asked for war, saying that the country raised not only the Eight Banners, but also the coat, as a member of the royal minion, he Jin Jian could only be worthy of the Qing Dynasty by sacrifice.

There were more and more princes and ministers who got up to ask for battle, and the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was suddenly filled with a strong and fierce atmosphere.

However, Prince Regent An had a different opinion, and he thought that it was okay to send troops himself, but only 20,000 at most, and the remaining 20,000 should be drawn by other parties.

Clearly, Prince An was worried.

He was afraid that if he transferred all his troops to fight Changping, his influence as a regent might be weakened.

"Regent, it's all about time,"

The old man didn't expect that Uncle Se still had selfishness at this juncture, and he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and when he was about to persuade Prince An to think about the overall situation, the voice of the Emperor Taishang suddenly came from behind him.

"The empire survives, and here it is a war. The kings and ministers should be brave, and the eight banners will be prosperous! If the regent is unwilling to send troops, I, an old man, will personally go out of the city to fight the thieves... I'm old, but I can still ride a horse! ”

Lao Chen let out a final roar, which was also a cry.

Final word.

Uncle Se is really embarrassed to say anything more.

Let's send troops.
