Zhao Mengqi bowed down to receive the order, "In this way, it is incumbent on the sons and daughters to clear the bandits, and return the southeast to Qingping!"

Seeing that King Yan took over the mission, many ministers were relieved.

"Good! I, the Zhao family, should have this kind of pride!"

Zhao Guanjia praised it very happily, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, "It's just that the imperial court is in trouble now, and it can't draw many available soldiers......

"No soldiers!? Then how can I quell the rebellion, do you expect me to be a million divisions alone, and retreat three thousand miles from the enemy with one sword?"

Zhao Mengqi couldn't cry or laugh, and turned his head to look around at the ministers in the hall, "There is a huge imperial court, and you can't muster a little troops?"

Many ministers looked left and right, and even simply lowered their heads to avoid King Yan's gaze.

Dong Huai was stunned, "It's not completely nothing, it's just that the situation is unclear now, the soldiers and horses in Lin'an can't be moved lightly, and they need to defend Mongolia along the border, so they can't move for a while."

Hearing this, Zhao Mengqi was speechless, no matter how flat his chest was, as long as he squeezed it with his heart, he could have a groove.

Although the current situation is a little tense, you can think of a way, three or five thousand elite soldiers can always come together, right?

Don't think about it, there must be someone who is pulling back and is unwilling to give himself a soldier who can fight.

Zhao Mengqi shrugged slightly, "How much can you make up?"

Zhao Guan's family didn't think about pit their son, and after thinking about it seriously, they gritted their teeth and said, "Everyone has selected more than a thousand just now, which is too little, and the two armies of the front division of the palace still have some foundation, there are almost three thousand people, so let's take them away for you."

Then Cheng Yuanfeng said, "If you transfer some archers from Pingjiang, Jiaxing, Shaoxing and other places in Anji Prefecture, you can get together a thousand, and there are 5,500 people from the right army of Ma Xingsi who stayed in Pingjiang, which is also more than 10,000.

At this time, there are generally about 100 archers in each county, which is equivalent to armed police, and then some more important places will set up patrols, and there are almost 200 local troops in each village.

These are not regular armies, not to mention whether they can fight, even the equipment is very simple, and it is luxurious to have a little paper armor.

As for the selection of the front horse infantry army, in fact, there was a shortage of horses, and later Zhao Mengqi engaged in carriages and brought many military horses to the market, and now it is completely reduced to a infantry army.

However, its troops are all selected from the border army, so in the Lin'an garrison, it is relatively effective and an important force in the defense of Lin'an.

Lao Zhao can give this kind of housekeeping force to Zhao Mengqi, he is definitely a good father.

And the right army of the Ma Xing Division, that is, Cao Lie's department, has 5,000 full troops, and there were originally more than 1,000 horses, but they did not escape Zhao Mengqi's poisonous hands, and only 300 horses remained.

After being placed under the jurisdiction of Zhao Mengqi, he stayed in Pingjiang Mansion to garrison, and the logistics were more abundant, and the training was also strengthened a lot, and the combat effectiveness should be improved.

If it is an ordinary riot and rebellion, it is indeed enough to have these troops, but Zhao Mengqi knows that this time is not ordinary, it is a pool of bottomless stinky water, and if he really wants to go like this, he will probably be drowned.

Zhao Mengqi pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, "Forget it, Liuqiu just gained a foothold over there, and if he withdrew the left wing army, his previous efforts would be wasted, and the soldiers of the front division of the palace should stay in Lin'an, so that everyone can rest assured, and the other miscellaneous ones will be gathered temporarily, and they will not be much better than the rabble, so they don't want it at all."

Zhao Guanjia was stunned, "Don't want it? Do you mean to take only the right army of the horse line? Don't mess around, although we don't know how many troops the thieves have, but judging from the situation, it is possible to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands."

Lao Zhao doesn't really think that his son can fight, but he needs a commander who can concentrate power to the greatest extent at the moment, and Zhao Mengqi is the only person who can reassure Lao Zhao.

The real command of the battle still depends on Chen Wei and other officials in the future, and Zhao Mengqi only needs to be in charge, listen to appropriate suggestions and issue orders, which is as "simple" as being an emperor.

With Lao Zhao's understanding of his son, he must not be worried about his lack of ability in this area, but he never believes that he has the ability to quell the rebellion all the way with 5,000 troops

。

But before Zhao Mengqi could explain, some ministers hurriedly praised it.

Ma Tianji seemed to be very excited, "His Royal Highness King Yan has the posture of a peerless famous general, in ancient times, there were 800 horsemen of the champion Hou chasing the death and chasing the north, and now there will be 5,000 soldiers of King Yan to quell the chaos, it is really the luck of my dynasty!"

Chen Dafang was full of admiration, "Your Highness is very courageous, and he must have seen that the anti-thieves were bluffing, so it only took 5,000 soldiers and horses to sweep them away."

Someone chimed in, "It's extreme, it's extreme, the speed at which this thief is skyrocketing is really abnormal, and it is indeed very likely that it is just a deliberate illusion......". z.br>

"There are not many expensive soldiers, His Royal Highness King Yan has a bamboo in his chest, and he will definitely succeed!"

"We wish His Highness a triumphant return......

Niang Xipi, this is clearly trying to kill His Highness!

The officials of the Yan Wang family immediately noticed that these people were not well-intentioned, and Qian Tao immediately shouted loudly, "Soldiers, the country's major affairs!" How can you throw a wave lightly!? What's more, His Highness is the foundation of the country, and there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, but it is not enough to protect his safety, so how can he talk about peace with thieves!?"

Zhao Youxu also stood up, "Your Highness has no choice but to go out of the town, if there is no sufficient security guarantee, please ask Your Majesty to withdraw the intention of King Yan to lead the troops!"

Wang Yao had a calm face, "The minister thinks that there are a total of 200,000 troops along the river, and it is not difficult ......to draw out 10,000 elite soldiers."

"It's not hard!?" Ma Tianji couldn't wait to refute, "As a squire of the military department, you should understand that the number of troops on the books cannot be counted, among the 200,000, I am afraid that there is not even half of the army that can be warned, and the defense area along the river is so long, if you draw out 10,000, there will be a hole in the defense."

Chen Dafang also helped, "The Mongolian cavalry has always come and gone like the wind, I don't know how many times they have drunk the Yangtze River, if the Mongols detect that the deployment of the division along the river is wrong, and they will drive straight into it like the golden vulture back then, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"And the Yanjiang System Division is also responsible for providing backup for Lianghuai and Jinghu, so how can it no longer be moved!"

The reasons for these people seem to be very sufficient, the important thing is that they are numerous and loud, and the opinions of these officials of the Yan Wang family are pale and weak.

Zhao Mengqi watched coldly for a while, and suddenly stopped drinking, "Shut up!"

Then he walked up to Ma Tianji step by step, stared straight at him, and saw Ma Tianji's heart beating a drum.

"It seems that Ma Shilang doesn't want me to bring too many soldiers to quell the rebellion, could it be that there is some ulterior motive in my heart? …… And Chen Zhongshu seems to be the same."

As he spoke, Zhao Mengqi looked at the ministers who had opposed the transfer of troops just now, one by one, as if he wanted to remember everyone's faces.

"Your Highness has misunderstood!" Ma Tianji made a clear conscience and defended, "The ministers are dedicated to the country, there is no second intention, the thieves seem to be fierce, but they will eventually suffer from scabies, and the threat of the Mongols must not be taken lightly, not to mention that with His Royal Highness's Wen Taowu strategy, he will definitely be able to wipe out the thieves without too many soldiers and horses."

Zhao Mengqi chuckled, "Heh... Really? It turns out that Lone is so powerful in Ma Shilang's mind? Haha, even if you have vision, I just hope you remember what you said today, and he won't change his words one day."

Ma Tianji's heart suddenly burst, what does King Yan mean by this?

Could it be that he saw through it?

It doesn't matter if he sees through it, as long as he is willing to go to Fujian.

"His Royal Highness's talent is well known to the world, and it has not been rare to be in battle as a prince since ancient times, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness is extremely brave, how can he be afraid of just a few thieves."

"Ma Shilang's mouth is like smeared with honey, and he speaks better than he sings." Zhao Mengqi laughed, and said lightly, "Since you all think that the soldiers and horses of the Yanjiang Control Division can no longer move, then don't move."

Ma Tianji thought that he had a plan, and his heart was happy, "Your Highness understands the righteousness and cares about the overall situation, which is really a blessing for the community and a blessing for all the people!"

"Your Highness!" Qian Tao and a few people shouted urgently.

"The so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, but she rushes out to fight when she has insufficient soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it will backfire, and I will suffer from it!"

Zhao Youzhi was worried, "In the opinion of the ministers, banditry is just a tree without roots and water without a source, although it looks turbulent, but it will soon show its original form, the imperial court only needs to hold on to the Xianxia Pass and other Fujian-Zhejiang passages, and wait for the situation to be clear."

It's not too late for Lang to make a decision."

At this time, even the dullest person could detect that there was a huge net trying to wrap King Yan, and King Yan was naturally unwilling to let him take risks.

It's just that Zhao Mengqi thought about it more deeply, and he also had his own plans, "The military situation is like fire, how can it be delayed, you don't need to say more, I have a ...... in my heart."

"Urgent!"

There was an urgent shout from outside the hall, and two guards came to the gate of the hall with a pennant on their backs.

The post guard held a red-headed letterbox, "Wuzhou emergency report, hundreds of firewood people in Wuyi County gathered to riot, and after looting the merchants and people in the county, they fled out of the city and escaped into the mountains......

Before the words fell, another one came, "Chuzhou emergency report, tenants in Suichang County resisted rent and tax, killed four tax collectors and manor stewards, etc., gathered more than 1,000 people, and blocked the south gate of the county seat......

"Quzhou Urgent! The tax grain escorted by Changshan County to the state capital was robbed in the middle of the road, and it is suspected that it was committed by bandits near Taipingjian!"

"Anji State Emergency! Disputes arose between peasant households in Fanjia Village, Zhoujiatou and other places in Changxing County and the border team, which led to riots and clashes, in which a deacon and two civilians were killed, and more than 30 people were injured......

Listening to the bad news that followed, the Manchu ministers fell silent.

Zhao Mengqi's face gradually turned blue, hehe, what a good method!

Zhao Guanjia also sank down, faintly smelling the unusual and somewhat familiar smell in the air, these dogs' big turbans are going to make trouble again.

The Zhao official family, who had regained their senses, strung everything together, and after a little thought, they guessed that all this should be for their son.

All right!

Do you really think my Zhao family is muddy?

Let you fiddle and bully!?

I can't play with you, can't my son play with you!?

"Where are the scholars!?"

Zhao Guanjia broke the silence with an angry roar.

Chen Dafang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly left the class, "The minister is here, what is Your Majesty's will?"

Zhao Guanjia said word by word, "Make words, make Zhao Yu, the king of Yan, the crown prince, and supervise the regent of the country, and execute it immediately!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar!
