Fengtian Palace,
Emperor Hongzhi covered his mouth and yawned, looking at Xiao Jing beside him: "Yan Chengjin went to the cabinet, what's the matter?"
Your Majesty, don’t you know Yan Chengjin yet?
Human spirit!
Xiao Jing thought that the only person who could pretend to be dead in the capital was Yan Chengjin.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Yan Chengjin's memorials were drafted by Mr. Li for helping him. He said that he was afraid of being misapproved. I saw that he just wanted to be lazy!"
"Just like when I wrote the chapter?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
Xiao Jing nodded quickly: "That's right, just like when I went to the Censorate to write a bullet stamp, and I won't write a bullet stamp for two months."
The first stamp written by Yan Chengjin was forced to write by His Majesty.
If I had relied on this, I would have been afraid that Yan Chengjin would not be the one he had today.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and was slightly angry, "I have mentioned him as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. Is he worthy of me like this?"
Xiao Jing nodded, probably: "I think so too."
Emperor Hongzhi changed his tone and asked worriedly: "Where is the Censorate?"
Under Yan Chengjin's men, the Censorate reflects everything in the world like a mirror.
The censors scattered in fifteen paths are the ears and eyes placed by the emperor in the market.
More important than the Five Temples!
"Wang Shouren seems to be... not familiar with the affairs of the Censorate. He is translating the book written by Yan Chengjin, but has not written a chapter yet." Xiao Jing said in a low voice.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed with doubt.
I am worried that the Censorate will lose its former role in Wang Shouren's hands.
The little eunuch held Fu Zhan and bowed his body to walk in and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth bachelor of the Cabinet and Lord Chai of the Ministry of War are here!"
Soon, Liu Jian took the lead in entering the hall, followed by Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
"Your Majesty, Ningxia City is lost, Anding Hou was defeated, and Tatars attacked Hetao!"
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
In his heart, Marquis Anding was as strong as Wang Yue. In addition, the Ningxia border army was brave and defeated Tatars repeatedly. He was the strongest army among the nine borders.
How could he defeat the battle?
It was as if it was midnight and the sun was still hanging high in the sky, and Emperor Hongzhi did not believe it at all.
Xiao Jing ran down to get the memorial, and Emperor Hongzhi opened it and saw:
Now that Ningxia city has collapsed, more than half of the people fled. The Tartars are waiting for an opportunity to invade, and they must fight with the incomplete headquarters of the war to ensure that the people can be safeguarded. At that time, the camp was empty, and the Tartars entered the border town, and the ministers were in vain...
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. If the city wall was lost, it would be that the guard general was dereliction of duty.
My father is going to be taken back to the capital to question.
"It happened that Ningxia's land collapsed and the city wall collapsed, and the Tatars gained the advantage of the territory. Ningxia's city walls had a very long defense line and insufficient garrison troops. It was understandable that the Tatars gathered at a breakthrough."
Among the nine sides, the longest defense line is the three sides.
Therefore, the Great Wall needs to be built in the northwest.
The Ming Dynasty relied on the Great Wall to fight against the Tatars, which was easy. Now that the city wall has collapsed, you can rush in anywhere.
It's hard to defend!
Yan Chengjin said: "Further, Dayan Khan led a 130,000 army to attack this time, and his troops were far superior to Ningxia."
The imperial court gathered more than 300,000 troops from the nine sides.
But there are only 50,000 people in Ningxia at one point.
Chai Sheng knew that this son was clearly waived the crime for Anding Hou. If Anding Hou lost Hetao, he would be imprisoned.
The defender only asks for the outcome, not the reason!
"Losing the city wall is a serious crime. Needless to say, Lord Yan, the most urgent task is to avoid losing Hetao and expel the Tatars as soon as possible."
The territory of Hetao extends to Braitou Pass in Shanxi in the east, to Ningxia City in the west, to Bian Wall in the south, and to the Yellow River in the north.
The territory is vast and it is extremely difficult to find after the Tatars invasion.
Sometimes, they would pretend to walk back, making it difficult for officers and soldiers to distinguish.
Liu Jian shouted: "Mr. Chai is right, Your Majesty will send troops to reinforce you!"
The six tribes and nine ministers all rushed to Fengtian Hall.
On the way, Han Wen frowned: "Why did Your Majesty call us?"
The little eunuch said: "Hetao was lost, and Marquis Anding was defeated. It's rare!"
I don’t know how many people are going to put a detriment to Yan Chengjin.
Soon, the Sixth Ministry and the Nine Ministers walked into the hall.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Korean: "Ministry of Revenue, how much silver is returned by the island country, let me see the accounts."
What does Your Majesty mean?
When discussing the loss of Hetao, why did you ask about the silver from the treasury?
Han Wen didn't understand why, and said, "Thirty silver mountains have received more than 9.7 million taels of silver. Please ask Eunuch Xiao to send someone to collect the accounts."
Nine and seven million taels can be offset by expenses.
There are three more silver coins, which are net profits.
Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "I want to send troops to flatten the territory of Tatars and kill Dayan Khan on his horse!"
In the hall, the sensational sound lingers on the beams and pillars.
The ministers were shocked. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has issued a decree to the nine sides to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
This time, I was going to use troops against the Tatars!
Emperor Hongzhi said: "The Ming Dynasty and the Tatars are old enemies and the biggest threat to the north. Now that the world surrenders, the Tatars still invade the northwest territory. How can the court ignore it?"
The Tatars had strong troops and were above the Ming Dynasty.
It's like a hand shaking the throat of Daming.
Chai Sheng said: "I think I can fight! Now it is the time when Hetao is using troops. If you send troops to Tatars, you can surround Wei and save Zhao, and resolve the urgent need for Hetao!"
In today's grassland, the army is withdrawing, and it is the time for emptiness.
Li Dongyang fell into deep thought. The court did not lack military rations for the time being, so he could fight.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
Liu Jian nodded: "I agree!"
The nine ministers agreed one after another, and Wang Shouren glanced at Yan Chengjin but did not speak out.
At this moment, Yan Chengjin's voice sounded: "I think it's better to wait for three months before I can't send troops to the Tatars? I want to form a Kongming army."
The most important thing is to evade the father.
The loss of Ningxia's defense city has become a certain fact, and my father recognized it in the memorial.
If you can make meritorious service and regain Hetao, you can be treated lightly and you will not lose the position of General Constitution.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Kong Mingjun?"
What is this kid talking nonsense?
Among the military camps, there are only five military camps, three thousand camps, Shenji camp and Tuntian camp. Where did the Kongming army come from?
What are you talking nonsense here?
Liu Jian and others looked at Yan Chengjin suspiciously.
"This army can fly to the sky, but it can attack it by surprise, which is the top priority for sending troops to Tatars."
Chai Sheng said unhappily: "Mr. Yan still remembers that I did not interfere in the affairs of our Ministry of War. I have served for three years and have never heard of it. How could there be an army that can fly in the sky!"
"Yan Chengjin, are you drinking too much?" Xie Qian glanced at him.
Yan Chengjin didn't care, and the grassland had a wide view. If you were equipped with the Song telescope, you could detect a hundred miles of land.
The advantage of the Tatars is the extremely fast movement speed of the cavalry.
It can be a surprise attack!
If this object is used as a watchtower, you will not be afraid of the Tatars approaching at night.
Wang Shouren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the grassland is flat and the Tatars have all the advantages. Without elite cavalry, it will be difficult to compete.
It’s better, just as Lord Yan said, wait for three months first.”
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "Can Ningxia resist Tatars for three months? Don't bargain in one month, don't think I don't know you."
Yan Chengjin bowed and said, "I have a saying, don't you know whether you should speak or not?"
"explain!"
Chapter completed!
