The ministers below saw that the emperor had decided that the major political policy had been set and that there was no way to change it beyond the gates of the country to fight the enemy in the north, so they all knelt on the ground and shouted long live, finally agreeing to this decision.

Jia Ke was the only one standing there without saying a word. The emperor looked at Jia Ke and was about to get angry, but then he seemed to think of something again and endured it.

The emperor now acted as if Jia Ke was an invisible person, pretending not to see him at all.

When the other ministers stood up, the emperor asked again: "Where are you going to mobilize troops from? How many troops will you mobilize?"

Lei Ying, the Minister of War, stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the sooner we can mobilize troops and horses from several provinces near the capital, the better. It is enough to gather 300,000 troops."

Liu Yu also stood up and said: "I agree with Master Lei. This time is very different from the last time. Last time, the troops in each province had to leave a large part of the defense force. In case the Tatars defeated the reinforcements and then went south

, now there is no need to consider directly gathering all the troops to go north."

The emperor nodded after listening, "You are right, now is the time to use these troops. Send them all to the north and go to resist the Tatars outside Gubeikou. Even if this army is defeated, there are still Gu

There will be no major problems at the north entrance and the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital."

Jia Ke now felt a cool breeze blowing continuously on the back of his neck, which made him shiver. At the same time, he became alert. It seemed that this time things were not unusual.

I heard that the emperor wanted to keep all the soldiers and horses in the capital, and no one would go north. All the soldiers and horses would be mobilized from the surrounding provinces.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke already understood that the emperor wanted to get rid of him. It seemed that they would appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the northward expedition.

If an ordinary powerful minister had allowed the emperor to do this, leaving his direct lineage behind and heading north with a general who didn’t know whether he would listen to him or not, he might have been killed by the Tatars before he even encountered them.

The head was presented to the emperor.

The emperor then asked Lei Ying: "Have you decided to transfer people from around the capital? Then you can make an idea about how many people should be in each department."

Lei Ying stood in the middle and said confidently: "When I came here, I already had an idea in my mind. I can order Wang Zuo, the governor of Taiyuan, to command 60,000 horses, Chun Yuhua, the governor of Baoding, to command 50,000 horses, and Chun Yuhua, the governor of Qingzhou, to command 50,000 horses.

Huang Ling commanded 30,000 horses, Laizhou Jiedushi Guo Min commanded 30,000 horses, Shandong General Lin Feng commanded 20,000 horses, and Henan Commander Lu Bin commanded 20,000 horses. This totaled more than 200,000. Waiting for these troops

After gathering together, head north to defend against the enemy."

The emperor then asked: "What should we do if the Tatars attack Gubeikou at this time?"

Lei Ying heard this and said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. You have forgotten that there are 50,000 horses in the Xiaoqi Camp in the north. Let the Xiaoqi Camp go north in advance to assist in the defense of Gubeikou. In this way, the Tatars will not be able to break through Gubeikou for a while.

From the north entrance.”

After hearing this, the emperor happily walked down the imperial steps to Lei Ying, grabbed his hand and said, "Sir, you are really my ovary. I have no worries with you here."

Jia Ke was watching the interaction between the king and his ministers, and somehow he wanted to laugh. When this scene appeared on Earth, it had been poorly acted in the TV series. He didn't expect that he could actually see it live now.

After sighing, the emperor returned to the throne. Then he said: "In this case, we are short of a commander-in-chief to command the army. Do you have any recommendations for me?"

Jia Ke stood below and felt very relaxed. It seemed that this hard work would fall on him anyway. He didn't have to fight or fight, the emperor would give these hundreds of thousands of horses to him.

As expected by Jia Ke, Lei Ying stood up and said sternly: "We think that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can lead the army and resist the Tatars. The only one who can resist the Tatars is Jia Ke, the minister of military aircraft. Mr. Jia can fight for the championship, and

I knew the habits of the Tatars at the border and defeated the Tatars in the capital, so letting him lead the army will definitely lead to victory."

After hearing this, the emperor's face immediately darkened, as if he was very reluctant to let Jia Ke lead the army, "Jia Aiqing is the foreman of the military aircraft department of the imperial court. He is in charge of the world's affairs. I can't do without him for a moment. How about you choose someone else?"

other people."

After listening to the emperor's words, Liu Yu stood up, knelt down in the center of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the world who is more suitable to lead the army than Mr. Jia. Please put the overall situation first."

When Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, saw Liu Yu kneeling down and admonished the emperor, Sun Yan always looked up to Liu Yu in the military department, so he also came out to admonish the emperor: "Master Jia has been in battle for a long time, and he is very loyal to the emperor."

The Tatars have never been defeated in a war. There is no one else more suitable in the court. Please put the overall situation first, your Majesty."

After Liu Yu listened to Sun Yan's words, he couldn't help but nodded in his heart. This person followed him very closely and could be regarded as his team. After a while, in addition to Jia Ke, he became the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, and he could let Sun Yan work for him.

As an assistant, it can be regarded as a promotion for him.

The emperor sat there with a gloomy expression on his face, and finally said reluctantly, "In that case, let's appoint Jia Aiqing as the commander-in-chief of the army this time."

Jia Ke did not agree immediately, but instead raised his hand and said to the emperor: "I have been away from the army for a long time, and my martial arts are also a bit rusty. Now I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat the Tatars if I ask you to go north. I think it is more appropriate for me to send you Sir Lei, the Minister of War."

After Jia Ke said this, he stood aside again, which meant that it was impossible for me to go north.

Liu Yu was a little anxious when he saw Jia Ke acting like this, but don't you feel sad, isn't my plan all in vain? So he stood up and surrendered to Jia Ke.

"Master Jia, I think you should not refuse. Don't you know the military generals in the world? You are the only one who can go out to fight with the Tatars. This time you go to war for the country, and your achievements will last forever."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Jia Ke's face, "I don't dare to take the credit for the eternal merits." Then he looked at Liu Yu and said, "I wish for nothing more than to be able to save my life and enjoy my old age."

Lei Ying was listening to Jia Ke's words. He already knew that he might have noticed that something was wrong this time, so he hurriedly came out and said: "Master Jia, it is indeed very urgent for the army to go north this time. You are doing it for the sake of the Supreme Emperor."

Please don’t refuse the promotion.”

After hearing these words, Jia Ke felt annoyed. It seemed that they were going to let him go north no matter what, and the Emperor's kindness had been drawn out. In this case, by following their wishes, it was considered as repayment to the Emperor in the end.

I owe you a debt of gratitude, and from now on we owe nothing to each other.

So Jia Ke stood up again with a gloomy face and said to the emperor: "Since Mr. Lei has said that I want Wei Chen to repay the emperor for his promotion, then Wei Chen can no longer refuse. I will sacrifice my life to accompany Wei Chen."

Gentleman, let me take charge of this expedition to the north this time."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't even see the smile on his face. "Then it's Lao Aiqing. It's settled. This time, Jia Qing will go north to take charge of the expedition."

So everyone in the palace knelt down together and shouted long live. After others stood up, Jia Ke continued to kneel there and said a lot of words of gratitude to the emperor above. Then he stood up and returned to the class.

After appointing Jia Ke as marshal, the emperor continued: "These hundreds of thousands of troops are going out to fight. According to the rules, there must be a supervisor. Who do you think is suitable?"

This time everyone was in trouble, and finally Lei Ying stood up and said: "Since Mr. Jia has left the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Aircraft Department has to keep someone, so I recommended myself to serve as the supervisor."

Liu Yu nodded and felt that Lei Ying was more suitable. Firstly, because he was the Minister of the Ministry of War and was familiar with things in the army. Secondly, this time he went not only to monitor Jia Ke, but also had more important tasks, which also required

He, a person who is familiar with Jiedushi, should handle it.

So Liu Yu also came out and said, "I also think Lord Lei is more suitable. Please give me your permission."

The emperor nodded, and then said: "Since everyone recommended it, I will not violate everyone's opinion. I will appoint Lei Ying, the Minister of War, as the supervisor of the Northern Expedition. I will issue an imperial edict now, and then your Military Aircraft Department will mobilize troops from various places as soon as possible.

Going north, we can no longer use the Tatars to wreak havoc on the Central Plains."

When Jia Ke saw that the emperor appointed Lei Ying as the supervisor of the army this time, he knew that the emperor did not trust him. This time, Lei Ying was firstly monitoring him, and secondly, he might get rid of him in the military camp if he had the chance.

After Jia Ke figured it out, he kept sneering on his face. In this case, I will let you be happy for a while.

Soon Xia Shouzhong, who was next to him, drafted the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor, and then knelt there according to the rules, raising his hands for the emperor to see.

The emperor stood there and looked at it carefully. It said that Jia Ke was appointed as the general marshal of troops and horses to lead the troops north to resist the Tatars. Lei Ying, the Minister of War, was appointed as the supervisor of the army to monitor the actions of the armies.

The emperor nodded after reading it, and Xia Shouzhong immediately sent the imperial edict to the emperor's desk.

"Go and get the emperor's letter."

After listening to the emperor's words, Xia Shouzhong slowly exited the Yangxin Hall. After a while, he took a yellow cloth package, came to the emperor's imperial desk, opened it gently, and took out a pair of white jade seals.

The emperor took the jade seal, piled it on the seal pad, and then covered it with the imperial edict.

After the emperor finished using the jade seal, he rolled it up into the hands of Xia Shouzhong who was on the side of the tunnel.

After Xia Shouzhong received the imperial edict, he came to Jacket in the next section and raised his hands high.

Jia Ke had no choice but to kneel down again and take the edict with both hands. Then he stood up again and held the edict in his arms.

When the emperor saw Jia Ke receiving the imperial edict, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but with a smile on his face he said: "Jia Aiqing, you will have to work hard this time. You must take good care of your health when you go, the court can leave

I won’t drive you.”

Jia Ke felt very disgusted when he saw the emperor's smiling face, but he had to kneel down again and said: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations this time, defeat the Tatars, and return in triumph.
