Chapter 380 379 Chen Ju’s Reminder

Chen Ju encountered the biggest crisis in this life. If he didn't do it well, he was directly sentenced to death by Emperor Jiajing in a joke.

Of course he was unwilling to give up. It was better to live than to die, and he didn't want to die yet.

My godfather had said that he wanted to save him, but he didn't say it out loud. He knew what was going on, although he didn't see it with his own eyes.

In the hall, the only one who can prevent his godfather from continuing to speak is the emperor.

Although Emperor Jiajing seemed to be just joking, he didn't joke, but he was not just talking to the court officials.

His brain was running rapidly, and Chen Ju finally thought of saying something to make the emperor happy first and let himself overcome this hurdle first.

"The emperor, I said that news will come in Datong in three or five days, mainly because I saw the good news that in our army outside the pass, there were General Liu, the general of Datong, and Yu Dayou.

The slave also knew that this person was a general officer of Zhejiang. Those who can be general officers should be very good at fighting.

We have two generals leading the troops outside, so I feel that I should be able to win."

Chen Ju didn't know if he could pass the present moment when he dealt like this, but he could only take the initiative to take a gamble.

"Then according to your opinion, if I send more generals to the important towns of the nine borders, I will win the battle with the Tartars. In the past, we just sent fewer generals, so we often lost because we had fewer generals.

?”

After hearing Chen Ju's explanation, Emperor Jiajing raised his lips and smiled, and still said in a joke-like tone before.

Perhaps the current Emperor Jiajing is really indifferent. The winner and loss of Datong have been decided, and it is useless to be entangled.

When Emperor Jiajing said this, it might have been just an unintentional word, but when Chen Ju heard it, it was another interpretation, as if he had said the wrong thing again.

Although the selection of generals in the border town is the matter of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War usually reports the candidates, but in the end it is the emperor's decision.

After thinking about what I just said, it seems that I have the intention of saying that I am not choosing the right one.

Well, Chen Ju didn't dare to speak anymore, and he still kowtowed like pounding garlic. It felt like he kowtowed more today than in the past month.

"To be honest, will Datong lose or win?"

Looking at Chen Ju who only knew how to kowtow, Emperor Jiajing did not have the interest to continue playing.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing knew that it was impossible to win after asking that, so he didn't think much about it when he asked casually.

As long as the person who answered, Emperor Jiajing would not pursue anything if he found a reason to fool him.

He was actually just trying to find psychological comfort. Before the news of Datong's defeat came, wouldn't the emperor be allowed to have a trace of fantasy?

Now when the emperor's question was asked, Chen Ju was thinking about how to answer.

The previous words seemed like a joke, but now they are a bit serious.

What we can refer to is Wei Guangde’s previous judgment, but now it seems that the situation has changed.

What was Wei Guangde talking about at that time?

Liu Han went out to fight and lost, Datong and Li Wenjin were there. As long as he followed Yu Dayou's advice, he would be able to succeed in defending Datong.

But today's good news shows that Yu Dayou is not in Datong, but follows Liu Han to fight for the board and go to the city.

The meaning of Wei Guangde's words at that time was actually that the Ming army could not beat the Tartar cavalry on the grassland, but could defend and delay time when they returned to the side wall.

As long as time is delayed, although all those who fight are defeated, the situation will not worsen.

By the way, delay time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ju learned it without a master and understood a very important key to this battle, and it seemed that he had been missed before.

"Your Majesty, I have also heard the ministers say that the current situation in Datong is very critical, and even the entire Jiubian important town is very dangerous, but I still feel that the situation seems not as bad as they imagined."

Chen Ju stopped kowtowing at this time, but his head was still buried very low.

"If you have any opinions, you might as well speak out."

When Emperor Jiajing heard Chen Ju say this, he became interested. He heard what he meant, and it seemed that everyone had missed something very important.

"Emperor, Altan's army has been attacking our dynasty over the years, and most of our border towns are defensive. Although the border troops have weak combat power and insufficient offense, they have more defense.

As long as the Datong Army can focus on defense and withstand the initial attack of Altan's army and delay for a few days, the troops in the second towns of Ningxia and Yansui will still sweep the Hetao area and return safely.

At this time, even if the Datong Army suffered heavy losses, the situation would not collapse to the extent that the courtiers were worried about."

Chen Ju knelt there. Although he didn't say anything big, his words were also very constructive.

Defense.

Procrastinate time.

When Emperor Jiajing was still silent, Chen Ju said again: "At the time in the hall, Shangshu Yang also said that Liu Han was good at guarding. I thought that the Datong Army would not be able to confront the Tartars and would end up with the defeat. So."

"Well said."

Before Chen Ju finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Jiajing. Before, Emperor Jiajing was really influenced by the ideas of the court officials. He thought that the Datong Army was really vulnerable, and he had been worried for many days.

But now I heard Chen Ju's words, I felt a little enlightened.

Of course, he wouldn't say this.

But it is true that as long as the eight thousand people do not collapse, it will be enough for the Tartars to fight for a while.

And what did the Ming army want?

time.

What I was worried about was that the troops in the second towns of Yansui Ningxia were raided by Altan's cavalry in Hetao. As long as Datong dragged it for a few days, the troops in the second town would withdraw to the pass, and the critical situation would be alleviated.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing found a reason to relieve his tension and was in a good mood.

"Sure enough, Datong is really as you said, and it should be rewarded."

After saying this, Emperor Jiajing turned around and walked back to the imperial throne.

The tense atmosphere was resolved by Chen Jutian's imaginary thoughts, which made everyone in the hall feel relieved.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing also felt a little sleepy.

He looked at the five-wheeled hourglass placed next to him. It was already midnight. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go down and rest, I'm exhausted."

When Beijing was sleeping, there were bonfires burning everywhere in the Khahu Fort on the right side of Datong on the west side. Many soldiers sat around, roasting lamb legs while drinking and joking.

In the large courtyard in the center of the Shahu Fort, countless torches were lit brightly, and countless candles were lit in the mansion.

The mansion was crowded with people, and many people gathered here, not at meetings, but at drinking happily.

There were three tables on the head of the mansion, and Liu Han, Li Wenjin and Yu Dayou were sitting in sequence from left to right. Below them were the generals who went on the expedition this time. Killing the Hu Fort garrison could only stay in the last seat.

After Anyinbao defeated Altan's pursuers, after a night of rest, he immediately set off the camp and returned south after not accepting the Tartars after they left dozens of miles.

The eight thousand troops protected the stolen goods and returned to the Shahu Fort as fast as possible, which was when they arrived here at noon today.

I heard that Liu Han and Yu Dayou led the team back. Li Wenjin brought Datong Right Guard, commander of Yulin Guard, and others from the fort to greet him ten miles away.

To be honest, when Li Wenjin got the frontline battle report, he felt a strong sense of unreality. It was so magical. This was a completely miracle.

The eight thousand Ming army fought against more than 10,000 Tartars, and they could actually win without relying on the strong city, which was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

After returning to the Fort Khahu, he immediately sent people to summon the surrounding guards and military fortresses to gather troops and prepare to gather teams out of Chengguan to rescue the Ming army. However, the commanders of the Right Guard and Yulin Guard who arrived pushed for three obstacles and four obstacles, all the reasons were elite.

He has been drawn away by the General, and it is difficult to draw more people in a short period of time.

Well, now the Ming army will win a big victory on the grassland. When Liu Han comes back, he will deal with these military leaders.

Although the governor can order the three armies, the military and political affairs are actually divided. In fact, he can mobilize the general of Datong. Moreover, some powerful generals may not necessarily buy the governor's account. They are more controlled by the governor.

In fact, this also shows that Liu Han, the general of Datong, has a little bad background, so he is not willing to offend him as a civil servant.

At the banquet, Liu Han asked Yu Dayou to briefly introduce the process of the battle. Although nearly half of the generals in the house participated in the Battle of Anyinbao and knew the details, there were many generals guarding the border fort, and they were all under the

Li Wenjin summoned him, so he didn't understand the situation.

The army shouldn't have drunk alcohol, but today it was a triumphant victory, so it was meaningless from top to bottom. Even the drinks were found by Governor Li Wenjin to supervise.

After the banquet was full of food and food, the banquet ended, but Li Wenjin did not let Liu Han and Yu Dayou go back to rest.

Yu Dayou's previous story was very simple, and most of the process was mentioned in one sentence. Now he has to ask more questions in his heart.

After fully understanding the situation of the war, Li Wenjin said to Liu Han: "General Liu, what do you think of the military camp?"

"It's useful, very powerful. I'm going to tell you about it. I'm going to follow the example of this time. I'm going to form a military chariot camp after the training is completed. I'll ask the governor to say more good things to me at the Bingbei Road.

.”

The general should have been in charge of all military work in the jurisdiction, but the logistics is controlled by civil servants, which is the military preparation.

To build a wheeled chariot, you need all the firearms to cooperate with the other side of the road.

"There are not many firearms in the Bingbei Road warehouse. This time we discuss how to write a war notice and ask for more firearms from the court." Li Wenjin was silent for a moment before saying.

Thinking about it, Li Wenjin took out hundreds of Fran machine cannons and thousands of bird guns. There were probably not many left in the warehouse where the military preparation road was prepared.

At this time, Yu Dayou, who was on the side, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Li Wenjin and said, "Mr. Li, this is the credit book for the attack on the city that Beizhi wrote. Please check it out."

"Um."

Li Wenjin nodded, took the booklet handed over by Yu Dayou and just took a look.
