Hu Hui's face was red from being choked first, and just as he was about to refute, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand impatiently: "Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore, I can't enter the city alone."

Either let the current Ming army disarm, withdraw from the defense, and the Taishi will send troops to escort me into the city. Either the Marquis of Anyuan, the Marquis of Ningyang, and the Marquis of Jingyuan will come to pick me up with the main force of the Ming army who returned from the southern expedition.

According to your method, I have no way to live, and once I enter the city alone, my brother will have to put me under house arrest until death. Taishi is right, Hu Aiqing, you really don't look like a conscientious minister. ”

Hu Hu shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister doesn't want to do this." But now, it is impossible to let the army of Warat enter the city. Not to mention that it is impossible for the new monarch to agree, even those of us who are ministers must not allow this kind of thing to happen.

As for the Marquis of Anyuan, the Marquis of Ningyang and the Uncle of Jingyuan, for various reasons, they can't return to the capital now.

Xinjun has made it clear that the current capital army is enough to defeat Warat. Moreover, the south has become a pot of porridge, and it also needs a huge number of troops to suppress it, so Xinjun will not transfer the main force of the Ming army back anyway. ”

With the current army in the capital, defeat the 80,000 iron cavalry of Wara? also first and Zhu Qizhen were stunned by Zhu Qiyu's arrogance.

Hu Hu didn't explain, and directly revealed Zhu Qiyu's plan to the two: "Xinjun also mentioned that even if the Miao Rebellion and the civil rebellion in the south are temporarily pacified, the main force of the Ming army will not be allowed to return to Beijing." Instead, a new Beijing camp was to be reorganized in Nanjing, and most of the southern expeditionary army was to be incorporated into the new Beijing camp.

Later, there was a change in the south, and the Beijing camp in Beijing was no longer mobilized, but troops were directly transferred from the Beijing camp in Nanjing to suppress it nearby.

This would not only reduce the pressure on supplies, but also avoid the recurrence of Beijing's empty troops.

Therefore, Your Majesty no longer needs to expect the troops and nobles loyal to you to return to Beijing, at least for a few years, your idea will not be realized.

The Empress Dowager and Uncle Sun had tried before, but Xinjun was very shrewd, he repeatedly pretended to be confused, and refused to let go of the matter of transferring the Marquis of An Yuan back to Beijing. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was stunned for a long time before replying: "Then you can only fight, you go and reply to my good brother, don't think about taking me back."

I have no other requirements for him, only that he will be kind to the Queen Mother, the Empress, and my three sons. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the new monarch has nothing to say about this, and all the brothers of the Queen Mother and the Queen have been promoted to knighthood. In the entire Forbidden City, it is completely up to the Queen Mother and the Empress. The new monarch treats His Majesty's family without any blame. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was completely relieved, chatted a few more words, and then motioned for Hu Hu to leave.

Hu Hu and the others retired, and they also personally sent everyone out of the Chinese army's big tent.

After sending Hu Hu away, he was just about to return to the account, but when he turned his head, he saw Boyan Timur and Huang Pu standing next to the chariot, his eyebrows fluttering, and he chatted very speculatively.

Ye Xian suddenly frowned deeply.

Boyan Timur had a very strong sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty, so he admired the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and respected the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, which can be understood first.

Especially a young jinshi like Huang Pu, who is only in his thirties, Boyan rarely comes into contact with him, but now it is easy to meet one, and it is normal for them to be familiar with each other at first sight.

Even in Daming, young talents who can be in their twenties and thirties will be frantically co-opted by many people.

There is a big difference between a young jinshi and a jinshi in his forties and fifties: to be an official in the Ming Dynasty is to have qualifications.

If you are a middle jinshi in your forties or fifties, and you have been boiling for more than 20 years, it is easy to get to the point where you are a waiter, and your hair is already gray, and it is basically the end.

And in their twenties and thirties, with more than 20 years of qualifications, they can further impact the positions of Shangshu and cabinet ministers.

Like He Yi, who was promoted to the Jinshi at the age of 21, he even directly attracted the emperor's snatching, and at the age of 22, he was accepted by the emperor as a confidant. If you stay up for another twenty years, you will only be forty-two years old, which is when you are in the prime of life, it will be even more terrifying, if you live longer, you can even be a Zaifu for thirty years.

But the more he looked at the two, the more uncomfortable he became, and ordered his subordinates to summon the two over.

Boyan accompanied Huang Pu to the front, and Huang Pu smiled first: "The Taishi has been good recently, and the lower officials have come to deliver the decree on the orders of the emperor." ”

"What is the will of the new king?"

"The new monarch has two wills, one is to invite the Zhencai people and the Jingcai people to enter the palace to ask the Holy Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and the other is to canonize the iron marshal Polo under the command of Ling as the king of Xuanfu, and at the same time officially recognize the titles of King Datong and King Saihan."

He also heard the words first, and his heart was angry. As soon as he was about to have a seizure, Boyan persuaded on the side: "Big brother, the Ming Dynasty attaches the most importance to etiquette and filial piety, and my sister, as the woman of the emperor, does not go to the queen mother to say goodbye, which is indeed a little unreasonable."

Big brother rest assured, he is a dignified son, and it is impossible to be bored enough to design fraud, just to hurt the two little women. ”

also nodded first, this doesn't matter, what I really dislike is that the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty has canonized the younger brother in front of him as the prince, and it is not enough, and he has to canonize the other three younger brothers as the king of the county.

It's purely a weasel's New Year's greeting to the chicken.

If the new monarch can be kind, then he has seen a living ghost.

It's not easy to refuse at first, after all, these younger brothers have a good impression of Daming, if they really push off the edict of the king for their younger brothers, then they don't have to hate themselves as elder brothers.

Besides, there was already Boyan Timur who accepted the edict of the new monarch and was named the loyal king. Now that the other three younger brothers are not allowed to accept the edict of the new monarch, wouldn't it be openly treating the younger brothers differently.

was also a little discouraged at first, Xinjun's offensive was subtle and quiet, but it was continuous and interlocking, and when he noticed it, he had been tied up by Xinjun.

Seeing that Boyan Timur did not object, he ordered someone to call his three younger brothers.

When the three Polos heard that the Ming Emperor was going to crown themselves as the king of the county, they were really overjoyed and happily accepted the holy decree.

However, before a few people were happy, another sentry came to report: "Taishi, it's not good, the soldiers of the four large battalions of the Ming army have all left the camp and lined up." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

This Ming army came at a really good time, and the Warat army marched all the way from Bauhinia Pass to the city of Beijing, which took only three days.

Now is the time when people are sleepy and tired, and the soldiers do not want to start a big battle immediately, but want to set up camp and rest for a day.

Unexpectedly, the great emperor refused to give this opportunity, and actually wanted to take advantage of the fact that the camp of the Warat army was not completed and the foothold was not stable, and came to make trouble.

He also looked at Huang Pu viciously, and scolded in his heart: "No wonder, the new monarch sent two groups of envoys in a row, and this and that incident disturbed everyone's peace, but he took the opportunity to let the Ming army gather and go out of the camp to provoke."

Now the Ming army can attack and defend, advance and retreat freely. If you can win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will retreat back into the camp, which is really comfortable.

We're different in Warat, we've just arrived here, the camp has not yet been completed, the terrain is unfamiliar, and the enemy doesn't know the situation. It's good if you win, but as long as you lose even a little bit, you're likely to fall into a total passivity. ”

Huang Pu didn't care how he scolded in his heart, he still asked with a smile: "Do you want to go to inspect and review the army of the Ming Dynasty?" It just so happens that the lower official is going back to the city, so let's stop by the way, why don't we go together? ”

was also provoked by Huang Pu first, and the donkey's temper also came up: "Okay, let's go, and ask your envoy to introduce the elite of the Ming Dynasty to me." ”

When mentioning the word 'elite', he also deliberately accentuated his tone, intending to mock the Ming Dynasty for having lost its elite.

Huang Pu didn't care, and politely accompanied everyone to the front of the battle.

He has also been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, but he is not an ordinary person. First, he left 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and then ordered 30,000 of the most elite cavalry to form three teams of 10,000 people.

He also led a team of 10,000 people and approached the Xizhimen. The other two 10,000-strong teams firmly protected the two wings.

When they also rode their horses to five miles away from Xizhimen, everyone stopped, found a mound, and climbed high to watch.

Huang Pu rode a horse and followed the side first, and explained with a smile: "Taishi, please see, outside the Xizhi Gate, is the main army of 100,000 of the Ming Dynasty, led by Wuqing Bo Shiheng.

Further north, approaching the camp of the three county kings is the Shenji camp of the Ming Dynasty, with as many as 50,000 people.

And from Xizhimen to the south, there are 3,000 battalions of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 20,000 people. Further south, there are the four guards of the Imperial Horse Guard, a total of 40,000 people.

This is a total of 200,000 troops, today my great tomorrow only sent half of the army to meet the Taishi, I have heard that the Varat cavalry is sharp and difficult, my great tomorrow specially wants to see and understand, but also ask the Taishi to give advice. ”

I also don't believe the numbers Huang Pu said, where did Beijing get the 200,000 troops. However, it is estimated that there are almost 50,000 troops in front of the Xizhimen in front of the camp.

The Ming army in the north, apparently, formed a team of 30,000 people, and pressed towards Polo's camp in a zigzag formation.

The two Ming armies in the south were about 10,000 each.

Therefore, the number of Ming troops who came out to line up, Huang Pu did not lie, there were really as many as 100,000 people.

After estimating first, I began to hesitate: These 100,000 people are real people, is it really as Huang Pu said, there are now more than 200,000 Ming troops in Beijing? He only has an army of 80,000, so if he fights three, the Ming army has enough food and grass, and can rely on the city to fight, it will be very unfavorable to Warat.

With 80,000 cavalry, without heavy artillery and siege equipment, it is tantamount to a fantasy to enter the city of Beijing, which is defended by more than 200,000 troops.

The original plan was to take advantage of the power of the great victory of Tumubao to completely overwhelm the Ming Dynasty in momentum, so that the Ming court would collapse without a fight, so as to occupy Beijing in one fell swoop.

But at the moment, it seems that Xinjun is full of confidence, the Ming army is high-spirited, and things are completely different from what he thought, which makes him a little discouraged.

When he was a little frustrated, Huang Pu asked with a smile: "My Ming military formation, Taishi has already seen it with his own eyes, do you want to fight to the death today, please give me an accurate word."

Now it also saves the trouble of the Taishi to write a war book, as long as the Taishi is willing to fight, the lower official will immediately go to His Majesty.

At that time, the great tomorrow will be above the city, personally commanding, and fighting with the Taishi. ”
