Come to Daming with military supplies

"Young master, there is no change in the army in the capital. It seems that Mixiang intends to target our Yangjiazhuang." Humang, who came to report the situation, also expressed his own opinion while reporting the situation.

"Our Emperor Daizong still knows what's good and what's wrong." Yang Chendong said calmly once he regained his expression.

Yang Chendong had prepared for the worst when resisting the decree this time, that is, Zhu Qiyu would turn against him. If that was the case, although he had Leng Feng in his hand, the number of people was too small. For safety, he could only Break out of the capital, or join the Kaohsiung regiment leader who landed in Tianjin Wei, or go to Zhuqi Town, Nanjing.

More than a year of planning and property damage is inevitable, but after doing so, Zhu Qiyu will not get the slightest benefit.Everyone has completely turned their faces, and life in the capital will definitely be difficult in the future.This was originally a matter of mutual loss, but fortunately this Zhu Qizhen did not choose to do so.

This incident made Yang Chendong see his own shortcomings. The number of troops is too small. Even if he has advanced firearms, he may not be able to achieve the goal of deterring the enemy.Once something unpredictable happens, it is very likely that there will be swordsmen.

"Looks like I'm looking for an opportunity to go out and stay for a while." Yang Chendong seemed to be talking to himself.Leng Feng's assessment was too harsh, which made the team's condition very problematic.But he originally took the route of elite soldiers, ordinary soldiers are hard to see, and most importantly, he doesn't want to see soldiers who believed in him die in large numbers on the battlefield, it would be a very sad thing .

The expansion of Leng Feng's team takes time, and the defense of Chixian City also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Under such a situation, it is tantamount to wishing to increase the number of troops in a short period of time.That being the case, it is better to leave the capital for a period of time and give yourself enough opportunities to develop. As long as Leng Feng grows stronger, when he returns to the capital, he will naturally not be afraid of what others will do to him when he is strong.

"Humang, issue an order to make the people in the Security Bureau pay attention to the situation in Guangxi and Guangdong at all times, and at the same time let Captain Leng Song be prepared. If something happens, he will take advantage of troubled waters and expand the situation." Yang Chendong thought in his mind that after January The Shunping Heavenly King incident that occurred in history, that is, the Guangdong Rebellion, and the Miao people's uprising by Zhu Huizhen, this is why military orders were issued in advance.

Yangjiazhuang is safe for the time being, because of Zhu Qiyu's fear, the most important thing is that his time as emperor was too short, and what he took over was a mess, and it would also take time to grow up, so he tolerated Yang Chendong's rebellion.

Just because the fire doesn't ignite for a while doesn't mean it won't ignite.At the next day's court meeting, the first thing Zhu Qiyu did was to arrange for Minister of Rites Hu Wei to persuade Yang Chendong to admit his mistake and calm the Japanese envoy's anger.

Just when Zhu Qiyu went to court and sat on the dragon chair of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, his eyes just scanned the officials and fell on Hu Wei intentionally or unintentionally, a little eunuch quietly came to the head of the eunuch Jin In front of Ying, he whispered something.

Originally, Jin Ying was standing there calmly, with a vague smile on his face all the time, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.But after hearing the report from the little eunuch, his expression changed slightly.

The news from the little eunuch was that when the city gate opened early in the morning, the Leng Feng who were in charge of opening up trade with Wala came back, a total of 100 people came back.In other words, Lord Zhongdan's strength in the capital has improved again.

These 100 people are not ordinary soldiers, but an army with elite advanced firearms.He later learned that with a company's cold front, it could withstand the charge of thousands or even nearly ten thousand elite Oirat cavalry. How powerful is that?

Suddenly a company of cold fronts came back, and Yang Chendong's strength had been strengthened. If he wanted to force this brave man, the obstacles would be much greater.

For a while, Jin Ying thought about many things in his mind.He suddenly thought that it seemed unwise to arrange for Hu Min to force Yang Chendong to confess his mistakes to the Japanese mission. What should be done now is to stop the emperor from doing this.

But I just thought of this, and Zhu Qiyu over there has already named Hu Wei, "Hu Aiqing, it is the business of your Ministry of Rites to receive missions from other countries, and I think it is the unhappiness between Mr. Zhongdan and the Japanese mission. It's up to you to take charge. In short, we must solve this problem in the shortest possible time. The current Ming Dynasty does not need war, do you understand what that means?"

Suddenly, Hu Wei's name was named, and the task that he had agreed to be handed over to Mr. Dong Chunhua at Yushitai was handed over.All the courtiers' faces changed slightly at this moment, and in the court where the wise people gathered, everyone had their own different thoughts.

As a veteran minister of several dynasties, Hu Wei has seen so many storms and waves.As soon as Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth, he guessed what happened. He thought about the news he received yesterday, saying that Dong Chunhua, the censor of the left deputy capital, returned to the palace shortly after he entered Yangjiazhuang. What happened can already be imagined.

Is it possible to be loyal and brave to resist the decree?

But does he really have such guts?Also, can Emperor Daizong really be able to bear it?

This is a serious crime against the decree, and it will be ransacked, even the three clans, or even the nine clans, depending on the seriousness of the situation, is not impossible.

Hu Wei and all the ministers were thinking about something while bowing their heads, and the atmosphere in the courtroom suddenly became extremely depressing.As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu certainly didn't want his courtiers to be disturbed, and nothing could be done under a disturbed state of mind.At that moment, he explained with a smile on his face: "You don't need to think too much about it. Our loyal and brave man is too disciplined, saying that he needs officials of the same rank to talk. Dong Aiqing's status is a bit low. This is because I didn't think it through before, so this time I sent Hu Aiqing, who is of the same rank, to give Zhongdangong enough face, hahaha."

The words of explanation were spoken, and many courtiers suddenly realized the meaning.But in the end what everyone thinks, I am afraid that only I know clearly.When will the same officials be required to preach the imperial decree?This is clearly the emperor using Hu Wei's hand to suppress Yang Chendong.

In this way, if Yang Chendong doesn't bow his head, Hu Yan won't be able to pay the job, and then he will be given a big hat of unfilial piety, which is really a good way.

Among them, the one with a bad face was Dong Chunhua who was standing in the ranks of courtiers.Seeing that the emperor's family is in his hands, and his success in the position can be seen immediately, but the errand has been messed up, and all his colleagues have been notified. It is conceivable that he is in a bad mood.

But the only consolation is that this time Yang Chendong not only slapped his own face, but also the emperor's face.Presumably, in order to slap back this slap, it won't be long before the imperial decree to be promoted to the second-rank official will be issued. This is also Zhu Qiyu's use of this matter to inform all the courtiers. Will get the place back.And these, for Dong Chunhua, are likely to be a blessing in disguise.

Among the courtiers, the one with a bad face is Hu Wei.

Chapter 284

Although Zhu Qiyu had made some explanations just now, he heard something different from it.Since ancient times, the emperor issued an order, who would care about the identity of the messenger?Often when ordering a first-rank official to do something, isn't it possible for a small eunuch to read out the will?

Then why when we arrived at Yang Chendong's place, we still need to be of the same rank to read out the will?How can things be so simple?

This clearly means that the emperor knows that he is Yang Chendong's elder, and this is a matter of bullying the small with the big.If this is the case, if this job is not done well, it will not only draw the emperor's wrath, but also hand over the knife to others, and hand over the handle to others.

Knowing this is the case, but there is no other choice, this is what makes Hu Yan upset and helpless.If you don't do it, you will cause trouble. If you do it, Yang Chendong will bow his head, but will he bow his head?Even if he bowed his head because of his identity as Hu Wei's grandfather, is he so willing?Will there be resentment for this?

Hu Yan's face changed again and again, it can be said that he was full of worry.Of course Zhu Qiyu noticed it from the corner of his eye, but he didn't mean to pay attention to it.Who made you a loyal elder?Who made Mr. Zhongdan so courageous to resist the edict?If it is not difficult for you, I really don't know that the imperial power is inviolable.

Looking at Hu Min's calm face, his eyes narrowed slightly, he seemed to be shocked, which also made Zhu Qiyu feel better.He had this expression yesterday, but now it's finally passed on to someone else, how can he be unhappy.It's a pity that this kind of happiness only persisted for less than half a cup of tea, and the sudden sound of urgent calls outside the hall made him divert all his attention.

"Report, hurry up at eight hundred miles." A Ming soldier bravely rushed into the palace hall with the banner of the order behind him.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, a messenger can enter the palace to report something without asking for an imperial edict, so when this soldier of the Ming Dynasty rushed in bravely, he was not stopped by anyone, and he just looked at him with surprised eyes.

Now that the messenger appeared here and claimed to be in a hurry at [-] li, something must have happened urgently.But there doesn't seem to be any information to indicate that something big is going to happen.

Under the bewildered gazes of all the ministers and even Zhu Qiyu, the messenger knelt down on the main hall and reported without raising his head, "Your Majesty, a large number of Japanese warriors suddenly appeared at Tianjin Wei Port. Appeared, caught the garrison by surprise not long ago, and before the villain came to report, thousands of soldiers had been captured and military supplies had been robbed countless times. The opponent is brave and powerful, and our general asks the emperor to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Bing Yong knocked his head to the ground, expressing his impatience.

"what?"

"This is impossible."

Under the group of officials, many people expressed doubts at the moment.

These people are all people who received gifts from the Japanese envoy Kimura Yoshida.They knew very well that not punishing Yang Chendong was just an excuse for the other party.As for whether they will really send troops?I'm afraid this person can't be the master.

And even if it is really necessary to send troops, it is impossible to be so fast.Now this envoy still has the capital?How could Japan go to war without declaring it?What the hell does he mean?

"What's impossible?" Seeing the expressions of disbelief on the faces of many courtiers, Xu Youzhen, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, reacted quickly and shouted loudly: "Can't everyone see that this is probably a Japanese envoy?" Is it a plan to slow down the troops? They have been in our Great Ming capital for a while, and they know that we have just experienced a few battles, which is when the military strength is weak, and they jumped out at this time, clearly wanting to take advantage of it. I hate that we are so gullible As for him, he has no defense at all."

While talking, Xu Youzhen shook her head with some hatred, as if angry at her low vigilance.But in fact, this statement was notified to him by the Security Bureau last night, that is to say, among all the ministers, he was the only one who knew the truth.

As I said before, Xu Youzhen was a powerful minister in history.And those who can become powerful ministers are those with skills and ambitions.

Such people often use it well, and it will become a sharp sword that can cut everything.But at the same time, if you don't use it well, you may hurt yourself and make yourself hurt.

In order to achieve the purpose of using this sword well, Yang Chendong intentionally informed in advance that it was also used to deter Xu Youzhen, so that Xu Youzhen could understand her own strength, but she couldn't see clearly. Will focus on doing things for myself.

This is why Xu Youzhen suddenly jumped out and pointed out the "truth".

When Xu Youzhen said this, it really touched the hearts of several courtiers, they all nodded in agreement, as if all this was really the Japanese envoy's plan to delay the attack.

"Japanese samurai? How many are there? How powerful are they? When did it happen?" Jin Ying's expression changed drastically when he heard the news.But he also did not believe that the Japanese would do it at this time.Because in his opinion, even if they wanted to make a move, they would have to wait until Yang Chendong was punished.

There was a feeling that told him that something was wrong with this matter.But I couldn't think of any questions, so I asked this question.If the opponent's troops are too small, could it be the work of mercenaries?He had not been in contact with Leng Feng once or twice. The opponents were not many, but their combat power was extraordinary. In addition, the Tianjin Guards had no defenses. If they attacked by surprise, they might succeed.

Someone asked a question, and of course the orderly would answer it. "Returning to this father-in-law, it happened the day before yesterday. There were so many Japanese samurai here. From a distance, it seemed overwhelming. In addition to the sudden incident, my general could only fight and retreat. After the situation could not be reversed , so I ordered the little one to come and look for reinforcements."

The defenders of the Tianjin Guards did not come to the capital to ask for help at the first time. What they reported was indeed the idea of ​​fighting with the Japanese samurai. This also delayed the military situation, and it took nearly a day for the information to reach the capital at night.

"Overwhelming?" Hearing this adjective, Jin Ying's expression became even uglier.Could it be that I was thinking wrong, this was not done by mercenaries at all?If not, where did so many soldiers come from?If the number of mercenaries is really overwhelming, I'm afraid there will be no one to stop them.

Jin Ying's face changed drastically, who among the other courtiers didn't have such an expression?Could it be that Japan has really dispatched a large army, and it is impossible to take advantage of the fire?

Of course, they didn't know that on the battlefield, unless the two sides fought together, or the information was sent in advance, it would be difficult to accurately see the strength of the opponent's military.Just like this time, it was obviously done by mercenaries. The head of the Kaohsiung regiment personally led [-] elite Leng Feng navy to land in Tianjin Wei, accompanied by [-] auxiliary soldiers from Chixian City.In order to bluff, Kaohsiung intentionally issued more flags, so that from a distance, the entire port is full of flags, which can easily be mistaken for an illusion, that is, the feeling of a large army pressing the border.

No one thought that this was originally Yang Chendong's blindfold. Everyone only knew that Tianjin Wei was not far from the capital. If they could not effectively prevent the opponent from approaching, another battle to defend the capital would start. At that time It is very clear who wins and who loses.
