It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own scruples. Now that the Ming Dynasty is using its troops, if it is rash to send troops, it is easy to be blocked or harassed by the Qin State. This is very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.
"Your Majesty, I propose to observe for a period of time to see the reality of Qin before deciding whether to send troops." Zhang Juzheng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that we should observe for a while, and it will not be too late to send troops after confirming the reality of Qin." Another minister stood up and said at this time.
"Father, the Qin State is now at the peak of its military strength. It would be inappropriate for us to send troops rashly." Zhu Yunqi said.
"Is it wrong? What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with some doubts.
"Father, Qin's power in Qin is too great. We should not send troops. If the losses are too large, Qin will take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It will be very difficult for us to survive." Zhu Yunwen said.
Both Zhu Yunqi and his father Zhu Biao are relatively cautious people, especially after the territory of the Qing Dynasty was embezzled by the Qin State, the two of them were more cautious. They were both afraid that the Qin State would suddenly attack them this time. In that case, the entire empire would be in trouble In the midst of a crisis, that's why they discouraged their father and emperor from sending troops.
"Oh, since that's the case, let's put this matter on hold for a while. It's not too late to make a decision after we investigate the reality of the Qin State. Come here, draw up an order, and send it to Kublai Khan, and tell him, Let him not worry, I, Da Ming, will support him at any time.
"After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what his son said, he changed his mind and planned to wait until he found out the specific situation of Qin before deciding to send troops.
Inside Qin State Abang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I suggest attacking the Ming Kingdom as soon as possible. Once they form alliances with other countries, we will be in trouble." Meng Tian, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with General Meng's opinion. Now our Great Qin is in its heyday. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Ming Kingdom, I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity in the future." Bai Qi also stood up and said.
"What you said is very true. Now is the time when our Great Qin is shaking the world. If we don't take advantage of this time to destroy the Ming Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us to destroy the Ming Kingdom in the future." Ying Ziqi said.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that this is the best time for us to destroy the Ming Kingdom. Now our Great Qin has strong soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass. As long as one order is given, our Great Qin Iron Cavalry will be able to crush the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Jian also stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with the opinions of General Meng and Lord Wang. Now is the time for my Great Qin to dominate the country and dominate the universe. Now is not the time for my Great Qin to recuperate. It is a good opportunity for my Great Qin to flatten the Central Plains and conquer Jianghan in one fell swoop." Li Xin also stood up and said.
"What you said is very true." Ying Ziqi nodded after hearing everyone's opinions. Now is a good time for Qin to rule the roost. If you give up this opportunity, it will be difficult to get another chance in the future.
"Think twice, Your Majesty. Although we now have [-] cavalry, we have never fought against Daming. If we rashly send troops, we may suffer heavy losses." Zhang Yi also stood up and objected.
Zhang Yi is not as reckless as those ministers. Now Qin has just experienced a war with Qing.
Moreover, in this war, Qin suffered a lot and its morale was low.
If you launch a war now, you may suffer a loss.
"Prime Minister, please don't worry, our Great Qin has an army of more than 20, and there are also a large number of infantry. Even if Ming has five or six times the strength of ours, it may not be able to win us." Meng Tian said.
"Prime Minister, I would like to lead [-] cavalry to fight against the Ming Kingdom, so that the Ming Kingdom will know how powerful our Great Qin is, and then we can also let the Qin Kingdom know that if they angered my Great Qin, there will be no good end for them!" Wang Jian said. .
"Second minister!" Meng Tian also said, clasping his hands.
"In that case, let General Meng Tian and General Wang Jian lead [-] cavalry to attack the Ming Kingdom." Ying Ziqi finally agreed to their request.
They all have their own worries, but the two of them insist on going. They both think that as long as they can win the Ming Kingdom, they can get great credit. This is a good opportunity for them. Can't miss it.
Chapter 350 Qin State Decided to Attack Ming State
"Your Majesty, I think it should be done according to General Meng's wishes." Zhang Yi said.
"Well, since both General Meng and the prime minister think that General Meng's opinion should be followed, then it's decided." Ying Ziqi said.
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone knelt down and bowed.
"Zhu Qing is in peace." Ying Ziqi said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and bowed.
"My dear friends, I have one more thing to announce. I am going to send Wang Jian and Meng Yi to lead an army of 3 people to attack Ming. , I want Ming to know that they have angered me, Daqin, and I, Daqin, will not let them go." Ying Ziqi said.
"Observe the order!" Everyone took orders one after another.
"Okay, we've finished discussing the matter, and all my lovers, go down too." Ying Ziqi said.
"No!" Everyone bowed to accept the order again, and then exited the hall.
"My dear friends, this task is entrusted to you, don't disappoint my high expectations." Ying Ziqi said to Meng Tian and Zhang Yi.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Meng Tian and Zhang Yi said. "Well, let's go." Ying Ziqi waved his hand. "Resignation." The ministers bowed and said.
Immediately, Meng Tian and Zhang Yi left the main hall, and when they walked out of the main hall, Zhang Yi said to Meng Tian: "General Meng, this time I will be hard on you."
"The prime minister is being polite, I will do my best." Meng Tian said.
"Yeah." Zhang Yi said.
"Prime Minister, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." Meng Tian said.
"I wish the general a triumphant return." Zhang Yi cupped his hands.
"Respectfully send off the Prime Minister." Meng Tian and Zhang Yi walked out of Qianyang Palace.
"General Meng, where are we going now?" Zhang Yi asked.
"If you go back to the prime minister, we should go back to the mansion to reorganize the army now, and then go to attack the Ming country. Now our main target is the east and west areas of the Ming country. In the northwest of the Ming country, we can start from the southeast and south. However, I dare not occupy the territory in the west," Meng Tian said.
"Well, let's go to the northwest. This area is relatively remote, and it is also the most suitable area for cavalry operations. It's just that the defense of the Ming country is relatively strict. It may take a lot of time to break through the Ming country, but I believe that with my Daqin With his bravery, he will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and then I, Great Qin, will be the master of the world." Zhang Yi said.
"Well, Zhang Xiang is right. We must take down the Ming Kingdom in a short period of time. Otherwise, the foundation of our Great Qin will be unstable, which will arouse public anger. The people of our Great Qin will think that we are greedy people." Meng Tian said.
"Okay then, let's go back to the mansion first, and tomorrow we will send troops to the Ming Kingdom." Zhang Yi said.
"Well, I will take my leave first." Meng Tian said.
"Respectfully send off the prime minister." Zhang Yi bowed and said.
Tang Guo, spies come to report.
"Your Majesty! The State of Qin is planning to send troops to the State of Ming!" A spy rushed into the palace to report to Li Shimin.
"What? Qin is planning to send troops to Ming? Didn't they just defeat Qing? Why are they going to send troops again?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Return to Your Majesty, I just received the news that Qin State is going to send troops tomorrow." The spy said.
"Hmph, these Qin people are a bunch of bullying rats. When they were fighting Qing before, Ming was not as strong as it is now. Now that Ming is stronger, they want to go to war with Ming. It's ridiculous. " Li Shimin said with a cold snort.
"Your Majesty is wise," said the spy.
Song Guo also received a secret report, and Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised. He didn't expect Qin to move so fast and even wanted to send troops to Ming.
This is a very bad situation. If Qin State really annexed Ming State, Song State will definitely not be able to resist it.
"Your Majesty, why don't we send troops immediately to stop Qin's plan to send troops!" Fan Zhongyan said.
"Come here! Draft an imperial edict!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"The minister is here." An official knelt at the Highness.
"Quickly pass on my imperial decree to let Xin Qiji lead the army to resist Qin's invasion." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"I'm going now," said the official.
Soon, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, asking Xin Qiji to lead an army to send troops to help Ming resist Qin's attack.
Tang Kingdom, Daming Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is troublesome." Wei Zheng said, frowning.
"Wei Zhengaiqing, tell me, what should we do?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, we might as well make peace with Qin." Wei Zheng said.
"Marriage?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, think about it. Although Tang is very powerful, it is far behind Qin. If Tang and Qin go to war now, our chances of winning are really slim. If we fight Qin If we negotiate a peace, we can still preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity." Wei Zheng said worriedly.
"I also want to make peace with Qin, but now Qin is in an exciting stage. If we negotiate with Qin now, we will definitely be at a disadvantage. If Qin takes the opportunity to attack us, we will not be able to resist their attack. "Li Shimin said.
"Then what should we do?" Wei Zheng asked.
"We need to strengthen border defense first," Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty is wise," Wei Zheng said.
"Well, Wei Aiqing, you can make arrangements, I'm going to rest." Li Shimin waved his hand wearily and said.
"Resignation, sir." Wei Zheng bowed and withdrew.
The next day, Meng Tian and Zhang Yi came to the barracks early.
"See General Meng, I will meet the Prime Minister at the end." The soldier said immediately when he saw Meng Tian and Zhang Yi coming.
"Excuse me, let's inspect the barracks today." Meng Tian shouted to the two soldiers.
When those soldiers heard Meng Tian's shout, they immediately stopped training and followed Meng Tian to the barracks.
"General Meng, how about the armor you are currently equipped in the army?" Meng Tian asked a soldier.
"General, these armors are new-style armors. After wearing them, they are very comfortable, and they are also lighter than the previous armors." The soldier said.
"Oh?" Meng Tian asked in surprise.
"Yes." The soldier nodded.
"Okay! You guys continue to train." Meng Tian said happily after hearing this.
"Yes!" Hearing Meng Tian's words, the soldier turned around and continued training.
"Hehe, General Meng, it seems that we need to improve our army's equipment. If our army's armor is light enough, then our soldiers can directly avoid the enemy's bows and arrows." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Chapter 351 Ming Country's Countermeasures
"Well, it really should be changed. Our equipment is too outdated, and our weapons are not of high quality. It will be dangerous if we encounter iron cavalry from the Ming Dynasty," Meng Tian said.
"Yes." Zhang Yi nodded.
"By the way, let's go to the grain warehouse to check our grain storage." Meng Tian said.
"Okay, General." Zhang Yi said.
"En." Meng Tian nodded.
Soon, Zhang Yi and Meng Tian brought the soldiers to the granary. Looking at the guards outside the granary, Meng Tian observed carefully and found that the granary was full of archers. These archers were the best of the best.
Both Meng Tian and Zhang Yi could tell that these archers were definitely veterans who had experienced countless wars, so they were chosen to be food guards.
Meng Tian and Zhang Yi checked the situation inside the granary, and then left.
After leaving, Meng Tian and Zhang Yi found the general in charge of the granary.
"The last general has seen the two generals!" The general in charge of the granary said immediately when he saw Meng Tian and Zhang Yi coming.
"Well, you're welcome, we're here to see how the grain storage is going here?" Meng Tian said to the general. "Please rest assured, the two generals, the food here is enough for our army to use for three years. The food we transported this time is all transported from Jingzhou, and we have sent a large number of people to transport the food. According to the predetermined plan , it can be transported in about half a month." The general said.
"That's good. In this way, the soldiers in our barracks don't have to worry about food." Meng Tian nodded and said.
"This is natural." The general also knew that this was his greatest advantage. As long as the food here was sufficient, the soldiers in the barracks would not have to go hungry.
"In addition, remember that you can't hide anything privately here. You must give it all to the military salary. You can't keep any of it. Your salary will be allocated by the household department." Meng Tian said seriously.
"Yes!" The general's face changed slightly after hearing Meng Tian's order, but he still nodded in agreement. After all, if they did not agree, they would not dare to disobey Meng Tian's order.
"Also, the guards outside the granary should also be strengthened." Meng Tian said again.
"Obey!" The general heard Meng Tian say this, so he could only agree. Who told Meng Tian to be higher than him, and this time Meng Tian was ordered by the emperor to come over for inspection. If he didn't agree, the emperor would blame him. If he falls down, his position will definitely be lost, and he will even be dismissed and investigated.
"General, the situation of the granary has been figured out. Our grain is enough to feed 30 troops for half a year." Zhang Yi said to Meng Tian.
"Okay, then let's go back first." Meng Tian nodded when he heard Zhang Yi's words.
"Yes!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
In the Ming Dynasty, the spies came to report.
"Your Majesty! Qin is ready to attack!"
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang just took a sip of tea, and when he heard the spies' report, he spit out the tea in an instant. "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Xu Da asked with concern.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly wiped his mouth with the table, and then said, "What did you just say, is Qin State planning to attack our Ming State?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Qin State has mobilized 30 troops to the capital of our country. It is estimated that they will arrive in the capital within a month." The spy said.
"It will be here in a month?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in shock.
"Yes, Your Majesty, our intelligence officers have heard that Qin has been recruiting refugees and expanding its army for the past few months. Therefore, according to our information, they have gathered 30 troops, including young and strong !” the general continued.
"Hiss~" Zhu Yuanzhang gasped.This number is really terrifying. Qin actually has an army of 30, which is really terrifying.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter? It is still inappropriate for us to confront Qin's army head-on. If there is a fight, we may not be able to win!" Chang Yuchun said worriedly.
"No, we must not let Qin State occupy our land, so that our Ming Dynasty's national prestige will be lost. We must solve this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.
