Chapter Forty-Seven: Plan Early

On the Jingshi side, after a few days of hard work, Zhu Qiyu has firmly sat in the position of the superintendent.

Several old ministers of Wuyingdian began to gradually get used to the king of the palace.

Zhu Qiyu knew that his foundation was unstable, and he had to use the people in this palace to consolidate himself, so he was thoughtful to these old ministers and gave them a seat to show his favor.

After a few people thanked them, they all sat on their chairs with sad faces.

To be honest, what was handed over to Zhu Qiyu was a complete mess.

The Son of Heaven hunted in the north, the people in the court were panicked, and rumors spread everywhere in the streets and alleys, saying that the civil fort had countless casualties, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and the Wara people were about to break through the pass and go south, and half of the north of the Ming Dynasty was not guaranteed.

As the so-called three people become tigers, there may be some people with ulterior motives who are deliberately fueling the troubles.

Under the boiling, many wealthy merchants in Beijing have begun to pack up their gold and silver, all kinds of belongings, ready to see that this momentum is not right, and immediately fled to the south.

is so different from the folk chasing after the wind and shadows, these central bosses know very well in their hearts that the invasion of Warat is not possible, but will definitely happen.

As the current head of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian gave an old and spicy analysis.

Xuanfu, Datong is each other's horns, the soldiers are strong and strong, occupy the big city, and now there are such famous generals as the British Duke, and they have purged Datong up and down.

Even if Warat is holding His Majesty now, it is almost impossible to break through such a city.

Yu Qian focused his attention on the three levels of Juyong Pass, Bauhinia Pass, and Reverse Horse Pass.

These three passes, also known as the inner three passes, are set up according to the danger, and are the only way to connect the Acropolis outside the pass and the inside of the pass, and they are also the focus of Yu Qian's attack on Wara.

Yu Qian even thought that the inner three levels were very likely to be lost.

In the face of military affairs, Zhu Qiyu knew very little, and asked a little puzzled: "Master Yu, the news outside the gate also coerced the imperial brother to go to Datong first, why did Master Yu think that Wara would attack the inner three passes, and why couldn't the inner three passes be defended?" ”

Zhu Qiyu knew that there would be a battle between Daming and Wara, but he still hoped that this battlefield would be placed outside the pass, not inside the pass.

After all, the war in the Guannei was together, and for Daming, life was devastating......

Yu Qian also gave his own reasons: "Back to Your Highness, the news from Datong a few days ago that this soldier, the British Duke and a group of generals were ordered by the emperor to lead 10,000 elite soldiers into Datong, and Shi Heng, the chief soldier of Datong, and Guo Jing, the eunuch of the town, have all been imprisoned. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, he knew about it.

Datong is acting according to the holy decree, and the law is perfect, and he really can't point fingers at him.

Besides, the leader is the British Gonghe Military Department Shangshu, the two of them have extremely high prestige, no matter how unhappy Zhu Qiyu is in his heart, these two people are not something that Zhu Qiyu can move casually now.

Although the matter of Datong is like a fish in his throat, Zhu Qiyu still focuses on the Jingshi.

He believes that as long as he waits for Dabao, these things will not be a problem.

Yu Qian continued: "Datong has passed through the actions of the British Duke, even if there are still the meticulous works of the Warat people in the city, it is just a disease of ringworm, and it will be no big problem.

But the three levels are different, the three passes are each stationed with 3,000 troops, although it is backed by danger, but it can not be compared with Datong, Xuanfu.

If you return in Datong without success, you will definitely turn back to the inner three levels, and choose one level as a breakthrough.

The inner three passes are connected to the outer acropolis, and when the time comes, in order to avoid the war disaster, the military households and displaced people of each guard will definitely take refuge in the pass.

The switch let the people in, and then the customs must be chaotic, and the Warat people took the opportunity to send spies, and the inside and outside should be combined, and it was easy to seize the pass.

If you don't switch it, my Daming will be equivalent to giving up Kyushu outside the mountains to others, and the people's hearts will be lost.

What's more, even the old men of the Four Dynasties like Guo Jing were implicated in Wara, and no one knew that the defenders of the Inner Three Passes were ......

Therefore, the minister thought that the imperial court still had to make plans early. ”

Yu Qian didn't say a point, in fact, as a fatal thing, if the Warat people use His Majesty......

The three levels are not as good as the same.

Zhu Qiyu also sensed the urgency of the situation and frowned: "Since this is the case......

Master Yu is right, pass on the order of the orphan, first let the three guards take in the homeless, self-check the pass, and the evil must be eliminated, but it cannot be wantonly implicated and kill innocents indiscriminately.

Then let Xuanfu, Datong, and the nearby guards prepare early and reinforce at any time.

If Warat really uses troops in the three internal levels, the defenders will fight to the death and wait for reinforcements.

Tell them that they must have the heart to die, Da Ming, and will never forget them, and they will not treat them badly. ”

"Yes, slave and maid write it down."

Jin Ying on the side replied.

"What else do you have to say?"

Zhu Qiyu asked everyone in the hall.

After Wang straightened up, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the inner three levels are important, but the foundation of the world is in the Jingshi, and now the people of the Jingshi are panicking, there must be someone behind the scenes, and Your Highness must be on guard." ”

Zhu Qiyu thought so: "Master Wang is right, pass on Lu Zhong." ”

Lu Zhong, Zhu Qiyu's new commander of the Jinyi Guard.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Sun vacated the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard in order to show goodwill, and now there is Lu Zhong, the left governor of the Jinyi Guard, who has filled the position.

Soon, Lu Zhong hurried over: "Minister Lu Zhong, I have seen His Highness." ”

"Get up."

"Your Highness."

"Jinyi Wei, how's the order?"

Zhu Qiyu first asked about Jinyiwei's situation.

"Back to His Royal Highness, after a few days of rectification, there are still more than 1,000 cavalry, and more than 2,700 people are in service among the fourteen thousand households in Beijing."

Lu Zhong has also been anxious these days, and now the Jinyi guards of the Beijing Division, all of them add up to less than 4,000 people.

This is a far cry from the previous scale of 10,000 people.

When the emperor drove his own expedition, he took away more than 5,000 people with his cavalry alone.

Nearly half of the remaining 4,000 or so people are fancy guards of honor.

"Lone to tell you one thing, Jingshi is full of rumors these days, and there are countless Hu businessmen, no one can guarantee whether they will have other thoughts.

Jin Yiwei has to carefully check these days, and if you find anything, you are allowed to cut it first.

Lone knew that this was a difficult matter, and Jinyiwei did not have enough manpower, so he asked Shuntianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to cooperate in handling the case. ”

"The minister commands."

Lu Zhong was overjoyed.

After Lu Zhong retreated, Zhu Qiyu went on to discuss two things.

The first thing is to send someone to Beitongzhou to check the grain in stock.

This matter should be a matter within the household department, but Wang Zuo is not there, and this matter is very important, so it will be handed over to Wang Zhi to supervise the household department.

This second thing is that the military department has to come up with a charter as soon as possible, and the Beijing camp has just been defeated, although the main force still exists, it still hurts its vitality.

How many ordnance should be transferred to the Nanjing arsenal and how many squads of troops should be transferred to the Beijing division are all urgent tasks at the moment.

Wang Zhi and others were also convinced by Zhu Qiyu's series of decisions.

I have to say that from the perspective of being a king, in all aspects, what King Yu has done is blameless, and this prisoner of the country doesn't know how much stronger than his imperial brother.

Chanaya said, consulted the good way, and had the bearing and demeanor of a wise gentleman.

In the face of such a tricky situation, Zhu Qiyu's performance is indeed remarkable, with the help of several old ministers and Jin Ying, everything is still in order.
