The election of the fourth Minister of Military Aircraft was unexpected by many people, and it fell on the head of Yang Tinghe, the young minister of Zhan Shifu. Yang Ting and this person are quiet and cautious, and their thinking is clear. Historically, it has been reused because it is clear and organized when dealing with major affairs of the court.

The emperor pulled Yang Tinghe into the military machine, in fact, he also valued him. Of course, the balance and struggle of the court are what he has to consider, but all battles must have a foothold, that is, to serve the actual government, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Yang Tinghe has such qualities, of course Zhu Houzhao wants to use him, how can a minister with a clear mind in the situation in the northwest do it?

On this day, Zhu Houzhao summoned the four of them to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and he had something to say about how the Military Aircraft Department would handle military affairs in the northwest.

This is a purely man-ruled country, and as the emperor, he also wants to maximize the energy of 'people'.

"Wechen see Your Majesty!"

Yang Tinghe was the youngest of these four people, forty-six years old; Wang Chang was the second, 52 years old; Wang Wei is 56 years old, and Han Wen is 64 years old. Although Hangul is the oldest, he is in good health, and he always feels that he will be a long-lived person, so he has no problem in terms of energy.

As for experience, which one is not a decades-long career in the sea?

"Let's all be flat." Zhu Houzhao always sits when he reviews the recital, and when he summons the minister, he likes to walk back and forth in the warm pavilion, and what he holds in his hand is the new recital in the northwest, but at this time there is no urgency, "I have always said when I was the prince in charge of the country, things must come to people, people must have things, the new establishment of the Military Aircraft Department is to improve efficiency, we can't grasp the eyebrows and mustaches ourselves, that is to say, everyone in the Military Aircraft Department must have a division of labor. That's what I think, listen to it first."

"The court wants to fight, and the key elements are money and food, and soldiers. To put it more simply, it is to have money and money, and to have people. These two things, one to the Great Situ and the other to the Great Sima."

"We're in command!" Han Wen and Wang Chang came out to receive the order.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to say more carefully, "Da Situ, when I say that I want money, I don't just mean to move the silver into the hands of the soldiers, but to transport grain and grass for the soldiers on the front line, how much grain is needed, how many food trucks and mules are needed to transport grain, and they are also within the scope of your responsibility. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Han Wen nodded, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen is sleeping in the military plane, and he must sort out the money and food in military affairs."

"Hmm. As for Da Sima, the element of people is not only recruitment. Recruitment is only one of them, in fact, your burden is heavier, in the final analysis, these battles need to be fought by people, and they can win the battle only if they perform well. Therefore, the military department must be careful and meticulous, and must grasp the word "reward and punishment." Let them fight, and if they fight well, they must be promoted. One risk, it is the hearts of hundreds of soldiers who are cold, and you and I don't know if the imperial court will lose tiger generals at that time."

Wang Chang's character is few words but ruthless, he can't say anything, but he is very creative about doing things.

"We're in command!"

Zhu Houzhao told the four of them, "The war in the northwest is far away from the Beijing Division, but it is extremely important, the reason why the Military Aircraft Department was set up is to coordinate all kinds of government affairs, for example, the Tatars are rampage in the northwest, and if there is an official government along the way who only knows how to let it go and drive it out of the country, the Military Aircraft Department will take care of this matter, and none of the officials involved will be spared!" After all kinds of official documents arrive in Beijing, they must be processed quickly, and the measures must be decisive, and they cannot be delayed, otherwise Yang Yiqing will not know what to do. In a word, Daming is now in the war, and everything else must serve the war! I mean everything. For example, what will happen if the military supplies in the northwest are not enough food and grass?" ….

Han Wen immediately replied, "Naturally, it is from other provinces to transfer grain."

"Can you get it?"

"If you can adjust it, you have to adjust it, and if you can't adjust it, you have to adjust it!" Han Wen's words were a little ruthless, "Weichen understands His Majesty's intentions, and the imperial court must work together with the soldiers in the northwest to win this battle!"

"Good! Just be determined. I know that it is difficult in all provinces, but there is no way during the war, and it is difficult for me. It's really reached that point, and our monarchs and ministers can only reluctantly make it difficult."

After saying this, the emperor turned to Wang Wei again

"Mr. Wang is the secretary of the ministry, and the matter of coordinating the northwestern provinces and localities that I just said will fall on the shoulders of you, an old heavenly official. This battle cannot be won by relying on only one Yang Yiqing, and the Ming Dynasty must contribute up and down. It is very important that if there are officials in the localities who do something that conflicts with the war, the court has clear instructions for them to correct it."

Wang Wei raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is not in the name of the imperial court to write in the name of the imperial court, write Your Majesty's meaning into it, and clearly tell the officials above and below to resist the enemy with all their might, and not to shirk!"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and agreed, "Yang Jiefu's brain is the clearest, you will write."

Yang Tinghe did not give in, "Weichen obeys the order! Wechen also wants to ask Your Majesty, what is the minister mainly responsible for?"

"You're the youngest, do some hard work. You are responsible for all the correspondence of the Military Aircraft Department, and sometimes you don't pick the time for military affairs, but I am afraid that you will be called into the palace in the middle of the night."

"Loyalty to His Majesty is the blessing of a minister, how can you say hard work?"

To put it bluntly, Yang Tinghe is writing materials. It's the most tiring job, and it's sure to keep everything in mind. Because the emperor dictates instructions, he will ask about some situations from time to time, then you have to be able to answer, otherwise you will not do a good job. And the humanoid 'Du Niang, is this job easy to do?

……

The meaning of the imperial court is like a strong wind blowing to the northwest and blowing towards Guyuan.

Although the changes in the court were drastic, it only took three or four days from the military report to Beijing to the emperor's clear will to leave Beijing. You know, at this time, Emperor Hongzhi had just died. Each of the soldiers who went out wore filial piety cloth tied to their arms.

So efficient and decisive, the new emperor saw something different as soon as he took office. The Holy Decree tells everyone in an indisputable manner that all the officials should not make peace with me.

But when the holy decree really arrived in Yang Yiqing's hands, he felt both excited and under great pressure, and the emperor's trust was not so easy to accept.

"In the past few days, the Tatar Department has invaded and plundered in the area of Shajinggou and Miaoergou outside Lingzhou, and at the beginning of February, the Ministry led the troops to Lingzhou, and the Tatar Department immediately fled northward, and our army could not pursue, and now the Tatar Department has retreated to the area of Huamachi."

Yang Yiqing stood in front of the eucalyptus and stretched out his finger to point to the yellowed map, "In the area from Lingzhou to Huamachi, the imperial court has built four forts, what is their situation? Is there no one to take the enemy?"

"There are reports of wars with the Tatars at Fort Qianniu and Fort Wugong. The garrison generals of the Iron Guard Fort and the Ten Star Fort, Yan Baineng and Yue Yin, are afraid of the enemy and have not released an arrow yet."

That is to say, the Tatar Department was able to bring it freely in this open land of the Ming Dynasty, and it was easy to grab wherever it wanted, and half of the few military strongholds of the Ming army here were basically to watch this army. ….

This is the dilemma that Yang Yiqing is facing now, there are 30,000 or 40,000 enemies, they are advancing and retreating together, and ordinary small troops dare not touch them at all.

But if Yang Yiqing led a large army to support, the Tatar department quickly retreated.

The point is that you can't catch up, everyone is riding horses.

"The imperial court has agreed to our request for help, Yang Shangyi, the deputy chief military officer of Datong, has led his troops to help, it is an elite cavalry of 20,000 people, and the Beijing division also has eight first-class guards to go out, plus the border soldiers of Ningxia, Yansui and various cities and forts, this time the troops in our hands are completely sufficient."

Yang Yiqing also changed into a military uniform with armor, he is old, but he always gives people a very powerful feeling.

"From the very beginning of the Holy Lord's accession to the throne, he has been trying to overcome public opinion in the court, and he must support us to fight this battle well. In my opinion, if we ask the court again this time, the court will agree. But the problem is, we have to win the battle."

Cao Xiong, the chief soldier of Ningxia, patted his thigh and said a little angrily: "These Mongolian grandsons, if they really come over and fight to the death with us, in that case, I have enough soldiers in Ningxia, but his grandmother's let's be a little more serious, they will run!" Unless you can outflank them."

"How?" Yang Yiqing followed up and asked.

Cao Xiong was speechless.

Because Hedong Huamachi to Lingzhou this

The terrain is open, and there is not only a small opening, how can it be outflanked?

Yang Yiqing's gaze deviated from him, in fact, he didn't have much hope himself, "For today's plan, there are only two ways. One lures the enemy to go deeper, and the other is to encircle Wei to save Zhao. Encircling Wei to save Zhao, Yang Shangyi's troops were to go deep into the Hetao area, he had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers fought bravely, in fact, they could try, but the imperial court in order to make up this cavalry, in fact, it has spent several years of financial resources and military horses, so risky, I am afraid that the imperial court will not agree, this relationship, we can't afford it. So there's only one way."

Yang Yiqing knocked on the table and said word by word, "Lure the enemy deeper."

Qi Chengsui frowned and asked, "How do you lure the enemy in?"

"Use me." Yang Yiqing pointed to himself, "The people from Beijing said that the Tatars would not attack Datong, that was because they knew that there was Yang Shangyi in Datong, but there was only one unknown Yang Yiqing in the northwest, and soon after, the Tatars really came to attack the northwest. They don't look down on me, Yang Yiqing."

"But I've heard that this man is brave in battle, and he is not a master who will be easily fooled." Qi Chengsui clapped his hands rhythmically, he was also trying to think, in fact, Yang Yiqing's thinking was right, but the problem was how to lure the fire sieve to attack.

"Just because you won't be fooled doesn't mean you won't be fooled. No one in the Tatars has ever seen me use soldiers, so I might as well be bold and stupid, anyway, Yang Yiqing is a soft persimmon in their eyes, as long as we are adventurous enough, the fire sieve will definitely attack."

Yang Yiqing dared to be ruthless, the main thing was that he had no choice, the court and the emperor were so resolute, if he couldn't get results, he would basically die.

In that case, why not give it a go?
