091 The new monarch planned the pit and sent a mission to Warat first
Zhu Qiyu nodded and smiled at Liu Chang: "We fought with Wara during the day, and we couldn't kill many people." Everyone is basically a cavalry, even if they can't beat it, they will disappear as soon as they run away.
So I pinned most of my hopes on night attacks, first to give our guards the best food, and then to practice the tactics of night combat every night. Finally, let's give the most generous reward system.
Wait for the first time, let him fight for a few days, and we will only continue to harass at night. When the attack on several major city gates of Warat is frustrated, and the people are sleepy and demoralized, we will carry out a real night attack.
Originally, he was a veteran general who had experienced a hundred battles, and he was not so easily attacked by the camp. But now I have in my hands his top-secret information such as the deployment of his troops, camping habits, and the distribution of camps, and there will be a response from Warat Nei to facilitate our night attack.
At the most unexpected time, we burst into his camp in one fell swoop and caught him off guard. Once the enemy bombs the battalion, it will be difficult to organize a counterattack. ”
When Liu Chang heard this, he was even more excited: "In that case, if our night attack is successful, wouldn't we be able to hack and kill many enemies?" ”
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Our eight thousand guards poured out of the nest, and if we can't get back five thousand heads, we will fail." Coupled with the killing and wounding of other Ming troops, the entire defense of Beijing must have at least 10,000 heads, but I thought about building a Beijing view from the beginning. ”
"Five thousand heads? Twenty taels per head, that would cost 100,000 taels of silver, Your Majesty? ”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he replied nonchalantly: "You don't have to look at me, it's your princess who pays for how much you cut or how little you cut, and it's not me who pays, anyway, I don't care." Even if you cut off 10,000 heads and come back, it has nothing to do with me. ”
When Liu Chang heard this, he hurriedly looked at his princess again.
Lin Xiangyu smiled even more indifferently: "You don't have to look at me, you can cut as much as you like, even if you cut all the army first, I don't care."
Anyway, even if the silver is gone, we still have 300,000 taels of gold in the treasury. I don't believe that there are problems in this world that gold can't solve. ”
Liu Chang was immediately subdued by the inhuman princess in his own trench: "There are 300,000 taels of gold lying in the treasury? Oh, that's no problem. ”
Seeing that a consensus was happily reached, Lin Xiangyu and Liu Chang walked out and prepared to enter the palace.
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly stopped the two: "Princess, go slowly, you just said, I guessed the purpose of the iron plate, but there are many rewards." But first, I don't want any gold or silver. ”
Lin Xiangyu turned her head and said with a smile: "Then the princess will give Your Majesty to go to the secret vault once, and pick any utensils you like." But let's say it first, it can only be placed in the slave's room, and no other concubines are allowed. ”
Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, so moved that he almost gave his little princess a knock.
Lin Xiangyu handed over a meaningful, shy and teasing look, then turned around and left the house, got into the carriage, and under the escort of Liu Chang and other pro-soldiers, turned to the back door of the North Mansion, picked up the concubine, the prince, the princess, and several side concubines, and entered the palace together.
Zhu Qiyu walked into the West Flower Hall with satisfaction, and the three scholars in it, plus Huang Pu, were already waiting inside.
After discussing yesterday afternoon, Huang Pu and He Yi had already drawn up a specific plan for sending envoys to Warat. After Zhu Qiyu sat down on the soft couch, Huang Pu handed over Tiao Chen.
Zhu Qiyu took a closer look at it, and then handed the recital back: "Chengji, this strategy made by the two of you is very good, so be it." After a while, I burned this strip to avoid leaking secrets.
Today, all preparations will be made, and the mission will be formed. Tomorrow morning, you will set off with the mission. There are several special people accompanying the mission, and you must take care of them.
As for your identity, you will also serve as the right man of Honglu Temple, a scholar of the Middle School. The original position of supervising the imperial history of Guangxi Province is still retained. After returning from the mission, you will also come to the West Flower Hall to help me deal with government affairs. ”
Huang Pu hurriedly took the order and stood aside.
Zhu Qiyu asked Bai Gui again, "Is there anything going on today?" ”
Bai Gui replied: "Your Majesty, several important officials of the imperial court have been waiting in the east duty room for a long time. ”
"Oh, let them in."
However, the important ministers did not bring good news, and Yu Qian took the lead in playing: "Your Majesty, Guangdong Song Bao, the traitor Huang Xiaoyang, pretending to be the King of Shuntian, came to attack the city of Guangzhou with more than 300 thief ships. However, the officials and troops in Guangzhou were requisitioned and transferred abroad, and there were no soldiers to defend against the enemy, so the imperial court was requested to deal with it quickly. ”
Zhu Qiyu was speechless when he heard this: "What Yu Shangshu means is that Guangdong is also reversed." Can you tell me which province in the south has not rebelled? ”
Yu Qian was speechless and did not answer. It's just that I really don't have to say that in addition to Nanzhili in the south, there is no good place for all beards and tails.
Seeing that Yu Qian didn't plan to reply, Zhu Qiyu had to wave his hand: "Your military department will take care of it yourself." ”
Hu Hui continued: "Your Majesty, the king of Ninghua of the Jin Domain, wants to come with the six sons to kill thieves with the army to repay the country's kindness. There is also the king of Jin on the table, who wants to enter Beijing to congratulate. ”
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "What does Chaohe mean?" ”
Miraculously, like Yu Qian, Hu Hu was also asked. Although he has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for decades, Hu Hu is a little unsure of what this Chaohe means today.
Is the King of Jin going to worship the emperor and congratulate the new monarch on his accession to the throne? Literally, that's right. Conventionally, yes, too.
But the ministers don't need to ask to know that the vassal kings are generally dissatisfied with the new monarch, how can there be a genuine top prince like King Jin who takes the initiative to congratulate him?
No wonder the emperor didn't understand, even the old foxes present didn't quite understand.
Zhu Qiyu saw that no one spoke, so he smiled and said: "Let's play, please invite the King of Jin to Beijing to congratulate, and invite the King of Ninghua to bring his six sons to Beijing to watch the battle." It's not that King Ninghua really goes into battle to kill the enemy, let them follow me and cheer for the soldiers together. ”
Hu Hu replied in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, at this time, is it appropriate to let the vassal king enter Beijing?" ”
"Yes, let them come. The battle of the capital is about to start, so let the Jin clan watch the battle as the representative of the vassal king. After the war, he asked several clan relatives to truthfully convey the war to the major clans.
Whether we have merit or demerits, let each vassal comment and discuss. Anyway, I am not ashamed of my heart, and I am not afraid of what people say. ”
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't refute it. Whoever speaks out against it seems to be weak and timid, and afraid of what people will say.
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Everyone is happy, don't be so depressed." The mission I had sent to Warat has not yet returned, and I plan to send a new mission tomorrow to canonize Boyan Timur and Arat as kings.
And lobbied first, so that he would not come to attack Jingshi. If he had to come, it would be at least a few days later.
In addition, in order to make the emperor have a more comfortable life, I decided to canonize the daughter of Boyan Timur as a talented person and serve the emperor. The new mission will also bring several palace maids to serve the emperor. ”
