Chapter Ninety-Six: The Courtiers Who Shouted for the Attack

After receiving the report that Xiong Tingbi had recovered Haizhouwei, the next day, the entire capital was plunged into jubilation. The praise of this Liaodong strategy is even more stingy.

Now, in the entire capital, except for Wang Qi's die-hard fans, the rest of the people, whether they are ordinary people, scholars or eunuchs, all say: Even if it is him Wang Qi, he can defend Guangning, enter the grassland, and even behead Baylor, but he has not been able to recover an inch of lost land.

Today, it only took three days for Xiong Tingbi to take Haizhou Wei, which is only 300 miles away from Liaoyang City, in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a turning point for the entire Ming Dynasty to shift from strategic defense to strategic offensive.

Now the whole city of Beijing is full of rumors, of course, when the song folds arrived at the palace, the sky was thunderous like day, and the entire emperor's bedroom was reflected in a piece of golden light.

This is a good omen.

What's more: Xiong Tingbi is more qualified to be a marquis than Wang Qi!

Aside from the rumors in the capital for the time being, discussions on Xiong Tingbi's follow-up have already begun in the court.

"The old slave will not let people sleep on the side of his couch so easily, after taking North Korea, he will inevitably free his hands and want to take back Haizhou Wei," in the court, Han Yi walked out of the train and expressed his opinion:

"The minister thinks that he should immediately order the Quang Ninh Zhuwei and Ningyuan Wuwei north of Shanhaiguan to send troops to support Haizhou, and at the same time order Denglai Mansion on the Jiaodong Peninsula to send troops across the sea to exert pressure on Fuzhou Wei and Gaizhou Wei in southern Liaoning, so that they do not dare to coerce them to go north, and at the same time, the first line of Shanhaiguan and Jizhou Mansion in the south should immediately start transporting all the grain and grass in place in place to prepare for a protracted war!"

As soon as Han Yi's voice fell, Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Liu Zongzhou and others also appeared.

"The ministers seconded it!"

It seems that these Donglin bigwigs didn't sleep all night last night, and in order to suppress Wang Qi's power in Liaodong, they have decided to start supporting Xiong Tingbi.

No matter how fierce the fight between the ministers is, it is also an internal struggle between scholars and doctors.

You Wang Qi, a relative of Wuchen, what kind of thing is it!

However, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, after a night of tossing and turning, was a little hesitant about whether to send troops.

Perhaps he was too afraid of Jianzhou, and Zhu Youxiao, who had been thinking about it all night, was a little hesitant: Is this another conspiracy of Nurhachi?

Even though there are detailed notes from Jinyiwei and Liaodong Jingluo, Zhu Youxiao grinned, extremely hesitant in his heart, and the old slave was insidious, this young emperor still wanted to wait for Wang Qi to go to Liaodong before deciding.

"Ye Aiqing," after a while, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes and looked at his cabinet chief, as if he had finally woken up from his contemplation: "What about your opinion?" ”

Ye Xianggao, who was at the head of the train, stood straight, and when he heard the words of these colleagues, he kept his eyes slightly closed and did not speak.

At this moment, I heard the emperor call his name.

Ye Xianggao finally opened his eyes.

Since cooperating with Wang Qi, although the position of the first assistant has been temporarily stabilized, Ye Xianggao's reputation in the government and the opposition has plummeted.

Especially now that Xiong Tingbi has made new contributions in Liaodong, Ye Xianggao's bet seems to have failed.

But despite this, the old minister will not admit defeat like this! Before the last moment, who will kill the deer, maybe it's anyone!

For some reason, this Ming Shoufu has always felt that Wang Qi has an inexplicable blessing of luck

Settled down, Ye Xianggao's voice was solemn, and he bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the general army of Liaodong has not arrived, and the minister of Jingluo has led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to the right tun, in addition to more than 3,000 cavalry in Guangning City, there are no friendly troops next to him, and there is no guarantee support behind him, and he has taken a great risk, the gains outweigh the losses, the minister thinks that at present, the destruction of the city of Haizhou Wei is the biggest result, and while Houjin has not yet reacted, he should retreat to the line of the Liaohe River. ”

As soon as Ye Xianggao's voice fell, the discussion of the entire court hall burst out.

Retirement?

Showing weakness over Jiannu?

The officers and soldiers fought in front, and the ministers took the lead, and the dignified Ming Shoufu was so cowardly!

Those who seek peace are not worthy to stand above the court!

"The minister opposes Ye Xianggao's words, this is to show weakness to others, this is to destroy the prestige of my China and grow the ambition of others! Xiong Tingbi had already established an advantage west of the Liao River, and there were clear reports that the Later Jin army had gone to Korea to fight."

"Why wait for him Wang Qi to go to Liao? What are you waiting for? When he enters Shenyang alone, he will behead the old slave, right? Liu Zongzhou's words were extremely sharp, and they were directly pressed against the face of the Ming Shoufu.

"Yes, when he Wang Qi enters Liao, I'm afraid that Jianzhou has already returned to the dynasty, and now it's time to wait, and I can't delay!" Yushi Wang Xinyuan also stood up at this moment and clearly spoke out against Ye Xianggao's words.

"Moreover, I have a question, why didn't his more than 3,000 cavalry in Guangning City set off with Xiong Tingbi's army?" Wang Xinyuan snorted coldly: "I heard that the 3,000 cavalry is directly led by Wang Qi's twenty-seven generals, and without Wang Qi's own orders, even if he is in person, he can't mobilize a single soldier!" ”

Wang Xinyuan glanced back at the officials and asked, "What is this?" This is not a private soldier with officers and soldiers? Pawn as a house slave? Wang Qi's heart is clearly revealed! ”

As soon as Wang Yushi's words came out, the atmosphere of the court changed.

And such things?

The hearts of the ministers in the palace tightened, this Wang Qi is far away in the capital, and he can still have such power, this son must not stay!

Seeing that the atmosphere had slipped to the edge of the indescribable, Sun Chengzong shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Wang Yushi, what is being discussed now is whether Xiong Tingbi should continue to guard Haizhou Wei, not Wang Qi's private soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty," Sun Chengzong turned to Zhu Youxiao, who was frowning, and bowed: "The minister thinks that for the sake of safety, it is better to respect what Wang Qi said in the letter, and it is enough to destroy the city defense of the pass, and the army should withdraw to the west of the Liao River for long-term planning!" ”

"The minister also agrees, what Sun Gebu said!" Xu Guangqi, the head of the military department, also stood up at this time.

Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and the three ministers stood up, which made Zhu Youxiao, who was originally a little uneasy on the throne, calm down.

As long as the imperial court does not overwhelmingly support the attack, it can still be stabilized

Zhu Youxiao looked at the courtiers in the hall who opened their mouths and closed their mouths to send troops to support Haizhou Wei, and was quite speechless: Three months ago, who in the court dared to say that he would send troops to counterattack Houjin? Who dares to say that he can cross the Liao River in one battle? Who dares to say that it can protect Quang Ninh City?

It is not because Wang Qi has played a powerful role in Liaodong in just three months that the situation has changed.

Now the faces of these people are really speechless.
