Come to Daming with military supplies

"Quick, which love is willing to lead the army to fight?" Zhu Qiyu didn't want to have a defensive battle.The last time he spent a lot of money, it already made his heart ache.Now that he has not been relieved, there is an unknown war again, which made him angry, but at the same time, he also set his eyes on the generals in the court, especially the governor Wu Qinghou Shi Heng who stayed the longest.

As the general commanding the army, Shi Heng is also the commander in chief who forms and trains the new army, so his strength in the army is naturally superior.

But he has been on the battlefield many times, and he, who has few victories, is also beating drums in his heart at this moment.

This is not the first time he has heard of the name of Japanese samurai. They are simply outlaws, and all of them are brave and good at fighting. I heard that if you want to become a samurai, you have to go through various selections before you can do it.

Such an army with strong combat power, if they deal with it by themselves, how sure will they be of victory?

Of course everything is easy to say if you win, but if you lose, will your status in the army be affected?His position is now stable enough, does he still need to take a risk?

The answer, of course, is no longer needed.There is no benefit in winning, and losing will also lose the high status in front of you.Shaking his head, Shi Heng looked at Zhu Qiyu who was seated on the dragon chair with a troubled face and knelt down in the tunnel: "Your Majesty, the new army has just been formed and has not undergone any training. I'm afraid you lose more than you win!"

"This..." Zhu Qiyu really wanted to scold Shi Heng for something, but when he thought what the other party said was right, if he really sent an untrained new army to the battlefield and suffered a big defeat, he might directly threaten himself the throne.

"What should I do? Dear friends, do you have any other candidates to recommend?" Zhu Qiyu changed his voice, instead of staring at Shi Heng, he looked at the adults, hoping that they would come up with another result Come.

Even Shi Heng refused, which is enough to prove the difficulty of the matter.Although some generals were ready to move after hearing this, but considering that if they were defeated, not only would they suffer, but their family members would also suffer, so they couldn't help but shut their mouths for a while, lowered their heads, and acted like ostriches.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. All the ministers looked at me and you, but they were all speechless.

Chapter 285 Shi Heng leads the way

Zhu Qiyu who watched this scene was furious.When there are benefits, these courtiers don't behave like this. They all look forward to digging out their hearts and souls to show that they are capable, that they can be entrusted with important tasks and can do great things.

But now when something goes wrong, and it involves life and death, everyone has the same attitude and can hide and hide.I really don't know what I can do by relying on such a courtier in the future.

"Yi Shangshu, tell me, what is the Ministry of War planning to do now that the Japanese army is invading the country?" Since no one took the initiative to stand up, Zhu Qiyu simply started calling names, and the first person whose name was called was Yiming, Minister of the Ministry of War.

From the moment the incident happened just now, after the messenger fell to his knees, Yiming lowered his head very low, pretending to be an ostrich, showing that I don't look up and others don't pay attention to me.But now, Zhu Qiyu still called out his name, knowing that he couldn't hide, he could only raise his head and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, after several battles, the Ministry of War has no good generals to use, and for a while I'm busy with forming a new army, and I really don't have the strength to do things."

"Trash!" Under the anger, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about the other party's face and lost his temper. "Are there any other lovers? Is there any suitable candidate to recommend?"

The emperor is angry, other people's courtiers are afraid to avoid it, at this moment, who dares to answer, is it okay to ask for trouble?So as soon as this question was asked, the room was filled with silence.

"Why? We don't have any suitable candidates. Could it be that I can't make it myself?" Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair, and said with boundless anger in his voice.

"The ministers are incompetent." Seeing that the emperor was so angry, all the courtiers fell to their knees, full of self-blame.

But everyone knelt down, but there was one person who didn't kneel. He was the one who could always give advice on major issues, Xu Youzhen, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment. "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."

Seeing that only Xu Youzhen stood up, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of hope, "Xu Aiqing, who is suitable for you, please tell me quickly."

"The one I recommend is Yang Chendong, the loyal and courageous man." Xu Youzhen said without changing her expression, calming the agitated Zhu Qiyu with his calmness.

"Loyal and courageous?" Zhu Qiyu looked expectant, but in return he gasped.

I just reprimanded Yang Chendong and asked him to apologize to the Japanese envoy, in exchange for Yang Chendong's rebellion.For this reason, I just arranged for Hu Yan to reprimand the other party twice, to save face, and to emphasize where his imperial power lies, but now he is needed to contribute. After such a calculation, it is not that he is wrong, he is slapping himself ?

When I thought about it, if I didn't order Dong Chunhua to reprimand Yang Chendong, then if something happened, I could push the war on the other party. After all, it was true that the gate of the Japanese envoy's courtyard was smashed, but now, I have already reprimanded Yang Chendong. Doesn't it mean that they have already been punished, and in addition to Jingshizhong's recent actions against Zhongdangong, they also said that Japan is a friendly country, so what will happen to everyone?And isn't all of this slapping yourself in the face?

While Zhu Qiyu was still reflecting, "The minister seconded the proposal." After Xu Youzhen recommended Yang Chendong, Hubu Shangshu Wang Zhi immediately stood up and expressed his position.At the same time, he couldn't help but look differently at the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.He found that this person can always make amazing moves at critical moments.

For example, when the Oirat army arrived, he recommended Yang Chendong.Facts have proved that his approach is correct.And it was this person who first thought of Mr. Zhongdan during the war, but this person was always the one who troubled Yang Chendong when the time came to peace, and he suddenly couldn't see through it.

"The minister also agrees. The relationship between Lord Zhongdan and the mercenaries is very good. If he can be invited to take action, the Japanese samurai will surely be defeated by one blow." Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up at this time , Not only seconded, but also expressed his own point of view.

A left servant and two ministers recommended Yang Chendong at the same time, which made Zhu Qiyu's face even more ugly.He also knew in his heart that if Yang Chendong was used, the matter of Tianjin Wei would surely be resolved, but the contribution made by this person is too great. If he is given a chance, how will he be rewarded after the war?Up to now, the other party dared to resist the decree, wouldn't it be against the sky in the future?

No, absolutely not giving this person another chance.Looking away from Xu Youzhen and the others on purpose, Zhu Qiyu said in a very firm voice: "The governor Shi Heng listened to the order, and I ordered you to start preparations immediately. Within three days, dispatch [-] troops to Tianjin Wei to eliminate the intrusion of the nation. There must be no mistake. Order Jinyiwei and Dongchang to immediately surround the residence of the Japanese mission, first detain it, and then hand it over to the Ministry of Rites for punishment."

Zhu Qiyu finally made a decision not to use Yang Chendong.Regardless of whether Shi Heng agreed or not, he directly made a decision in the name of the imperial decree.

When His Royal Highness issued the imperial decree, even if Shi Heng had 1 people who were unwilling, he still had to accept the order. He didn't have the courage to resist the decree like Yang Chendong.

A court meeting just dispersed.After Zhu Qiyu walked out of the court hall followed by a group of eunuchs, Hu Wei also went out with all the officials in a leisurely manner.Not far away, the eldest son Hu Changning came quickly, "Father, are you going to Yangjiazhuang?"

"What are you doing?" Hu Yan asked with a suspicious expression on his face.

"Did the emperor arrange for his father to go and reprimand the loyal and brave man, and let him"

"What did you let him do? Hehe, Japan went to war without declaring it, so there is no reason to apologize to them at this moment, so Zhongdan Gong is already innocent. I didn't read the emperor said, should those Japanese envoys be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for punishment? This It's already the emperor's statement." Wang Zhizheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was walking beside Hu Wei, and explained for him with a smile.

It was only after Hu Changning heard the argument that he realized that he was thinking a little too much. He lowered his head and cupped his fists in embarrassment and said, "So that's the case. Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your reminder."

"You don't have to thank me. You can think about this trivial matter even if you don't talk about it. Hey, it's really an act of loyalty to send Shi Heng with a new army that hasn't been trained to deal with Japanese samurai Already." Wang Zhi shook his head lightly, he didn't worry about whether Hu Changning could figure out the key to the matter in a short period of time, he has a good father and a good son-in-law, and he doesn't dare to suffer at all .It was Zhu Qiyu's decision not to let Yang Chendong take the lead, but to let Shi Heng take the lead, which is really worrying.

"Wang Shangshu doesn't have to worry about this. Japan is just a small country, and it can't cause any trouble. Even if Shi Heng is trapped for a while, with strong manpower and material support, it may not be impossible to win this battle. Besides, isn't it still Is there a loyal and brave man? At worst, I will suffer first. In other words, has the court suffered less in the past two years?" Hu Wei shook his head while stroking his beard, obviously he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhu Qiyu's decision.But he wasn't too worried. After all, Japan was a small country, so it was really hard for him to put it in his eyes.

"Perhaps. It's really unwise to send so many soldiers' lives to the battlefield just for the sake of face." How could Wang Zhi not understand this truth, but when he thought about what kind of consequences would be caused by recruits entering the field, what would happen? How many families will be ruined by such a loss, and I am still heartbroken.

Zhu Qiyu did not hesitate to lose the new army for the sake of face.

In his eyes, Yang Chendongli's contribution is too great, to the extent that if he does not suppress it, the consequences will be unimaginable.Even so, as long as there are other methods, he will try, even if he knows that doing so will pay a price, he must do so. He can't send Yang Chendong as soon as a war breaks out, right?Besides, the great Ming Dynasty couldn't even find a good commander in chief?

As soon as the court meeting ended, all kinds of news just disappeared.It is worth mentioning that the Japanese envoy Kimura Yoshida learned the news in a short time.

When he first heard the news, he naturally couldn't believe it.Not to mention that Japan had no intention of fighting with Daming in the first place, his previous words were just to remind him of the effect of pressure.And even if the country is sending troops, it is impossible not to inform yourself, otherwise, where will you trap yourself?

"Is there any misunderstanding in this matter? Could it be that the news ahead was wrong? What appeared was not our Japanese samurai at all, but someone else's impersonation?" Kimura Yoshida asked with a suspicious expression on his face. The head of the guard, Ikegami, replied.

Seeing that the envoy was still doubting the source of the news at this time, Chi Shang said anxiously, "Master Kimura, now is not the time to think about this. Someone must have come to us, the first thing right now is to leave here first, no matter what We were caught by them, and then we were going to Tianjin Wei. If it was our Japanese samurai who came, we would meet them and go to the capital to let them release the rest of the mission and make compensation. If not, then we need Find the evidence and explain it to Emperor Ming."

"Not bad, not bad." Listening to Ikegami's suggestion, Kimura Yoshida nodded again and again, "But is there still a chance to escape from here now? Presumably there is no time to leave through the gate?"

"Master Kimura, do you remember the tunnel that I asked me to dig before? The construction was just completed last night, we can leave from there, so that we can be invisible." Chi Shang's face showed confidence.Because he didn't know Emperor Ming's attitude, and for his own safety, he had made some preparations earlier, and now is the time to come in handy.

"Okay, Chishang-kun, you've done a good job, so let's leave." As soon as he heard that the tunnel was dug, Kimura Yoshida showed satisfaction on his face.

Chapter 286 No One Can Escape

"Okay. Master Kimura, please follow me." Ikegami nodded.In order not to attract the attention of others, the two did not take other people with them. They just took some silver and then got into the tunnel and left the mission.

It was less than half a stick of incense after the two had just left.A large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchangfanzi appeared outside the Japanese mission stationed in the courtyard.It was Jin Yiwei commander Ji Shi Ji Guang who came to carry out the task.He first asked the subordinate who had been guarding the door, "How is it? Is there any change inside?"

"No, no one came out."

"Okay, everyone listens to the order, rush in with the matter, and arrest everyone, but anyone who dares to resist, kill!" After Ji Guang announced the order to his subordinates, he waved his hand, and then broke through the door. enter.

Following the entry of Jin Yiwei, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the courtyard of the mission soon.Faced with the sudden appearance of heavenly soldiers, the Japanese did not choose to surrender, but resisted tenaciously.But under the disadvantage of numbers, in just half an hour, there are dead, wounded, and captured.

After a big battle, the courtyard was full of blood, but all the Jin Yiwei seemed to be used to such scenes, while counting the number of captives, they were looking for the leader of the opponent.

After a lot of tossing, the former envoy Yuki Aoki, who had just been released not long ago, was found, but Kimura Yoshida and his chief guard, Ikegami, disappeared.

"My lord, we found a tunnel leading to the neighboring street outside. There are traces of people walking on it, and it must be the two people who disappeared, Kimura Yoshida and Chishang." A Jinyiwei Baihu came forward, Report to Ji Guang respectfully.

"Want to run? Send an order to strictly check all the gates of the city, and they must not be allowed to go away." Ji Guang said with a dark face.It is his dereliction of duty that he ran away with an important person.Of course, if these two people ran away, wouldn't that mean that they were acting with a guilty conscience?
