"Your Majesty, I think you can send the border troops from the north directly to Gansu to suppress them. I'm sorry that farmers like them don't have the ability to resist."
"Yes, these are farmers. Their weapons are undoubtedly hoes and sickles, just farm tools. They cannot penetrate the armor of our soldiers at all."
"The Huns have been silent in recent years and have no ability to attack our Ming Dynasty. I think it is feasible to mobilize the border troops."
...
Most of the ministers agreed to this plan, because except for Shanhaiguan in the north, there was no army to mobilize.
If he wanted such a countermeasure, Chongzhen didn't need to ask them at all. Even a person who didn't understand military knowledge would know to use the nearest army to suppress it.
Finally, Chongzhen looked at Hu Yunqing, who was standing among the officials.
But the latter didn't open his eyes at all. He kept his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what does the Ministry of War have to say?"
Chongzhen coughed twice, looked at several officials from the Ministry of War and asked.
"The Ministry of War also feels that the method proposed by the ministers is feasible."
When the Minister of War saw the emperor looking at him, he quickly stood up and said.
"Master Hu, what about you?"
Chongzhen didn't look at the Minister of War who was standing at all, and continued to stare at Hu Yunqing and asked.
"Calling you."
"Hurry up!"
Several ministers nearby quickly pulled Hu Yunqing out.
Hu Yunqing stood in the middle of the hall with a confused face, not knowing what to do.
"Master Hu, Your Majesty would like to ask if you have any opinions on the Gansu rebellion."
Chongzhen glanced at Xiao Shangzi. Xiao Shangzi understood the meaning instantly and quickly said to Hu Yunqing.
"It's very simple, just send troops to suppress it."
Hu Yunqing's words directly made other officials laugh. They had already said it, and some couldn't believe that the previous ideas were all his.
"Hu Aiqing elaborates, otherwise no one will understand."
Chongzhen didn't understand what Hu Yunqing meant. Normally he would have asked directly, but in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Is the white-pole army that I told your Majesty about before already in place?"
"I actually forgot about this army."
After Hu Yunqing reminded him, Chongzhen remembered that he still had a useless army in hand.
"White soldier?"
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what the emperor would say. The white pole soldiers are not far away from Sichuan and Chongqing, how could they be in the capital.
"Everyone doesn't know. As early as January, Mr. Hu asked me to transfer the white-pole soldiers from Sichuan and Chongqing to the vicinity of the capital in response to the changes in the capital. There have been so many things going on recently that I have forgotten about this matter. "
Chongzhen smiled and told everyone why the white pole soldiers were near the capital.
After listening to Chongzhen's words, everyone looked at Hu Yunqing in disbelief. It would undoubtedly be more appropriate to let the white pole soldiers suppress it. The combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers should not be underestimated.
"Then who is willing to lead the white pole soldiers to suppress the Gansu rebels?"
"No!"
When Chongzhen began to select generals, Hu Yunqing's voice sounded again.
"Didn't you use white-pole soldiers as you just said?"
Chongzhen was a little confused and asked Hu Yunqing.
Everyone wanted Hu Yunqing to look over and want to hear his thoughts.
"I don't think it's appropriate for the white-armed soldiers to go to Gansu to suppress the rebellion."
"If we don't use white soldiers, then who should we use?"
Not only Chongzhen but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were confused as to who else could be there besides the white-pole soldiers.
Hu Yunqing's eyes fell on the general. Xu Wei found that Hu Yunqing looked at him, as if he understood something.
"The Shenji Battalion is the elite division of the Ming Dynasty. I believe General Xu has the confidence to suppress the rebellion."
After Hu Yunqing finished speaking, Xu Wei walked out of the generals.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Shenji Battalion to suppress the rebellion in Gansu within one month."
"Okay, this is my Ming Dynasty general!"
After hearing that Xu Wei was so confident, Chongzhen stood up and said happily.
"Order Xu Wei as the general of the Western Expedition, Wang Ke as the vanguard, and Hu Yunqing, the minister of war, as the military advisor. They must suppress the rebellion within one month, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
Hu Yunqing, who was walking back, froze when he heard that he was asked to follow him to fight.
"Your Majesty, I, that."
"Retreat!"
Chongzhen did not give Hu Yunqing a chance to evade, and directly announced his resignation.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Chongzhen turned around and left, leaving Hu Yunqing alone and in a mess.
"Master Hu, I would like to treat you to a meal and thank you for giving me this opportunity to make a contribution."
Xu Wei originally thought that the capital was interesting, but he did not expect that after entering, he would become even more bored. His arms and legs were almost rusty, and he had not yet achieved any military exploits.
As soon as Chongzhen left, he put his hand on Hu Yunqing's shoulder and said.
"No, if you want to thank me, just thank the Emperor."
After coming to Ming Dynasty for so long, I have not been injured because I have been hiding in Zhuangzi. If I had known that I would set out with the army, it would be better not to come out.
"Come on, let's go drink Zhuangxing wine!"
"General Xu, Master Hu, stay here."
Just as the two were walking out, Xiao Shangzi stopped them from behind and said.
"Tell me quickly, what does your emperor and master want to do?"
Hu Yunqing was very unhappy. He had obviously said before that he was just making moves, but he was asked to follow the army to fight. How could he possibly be able to do this?
"Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to go to the Chancellor's study room to discuss something. You two adults come with me."
Xiao Shangzi led the way. Hu Yunqing and Xu Wei looked at each other and followed behind.
"Your Majesty's people are here."
"Quickly, give the two of you a seat quickly."
Chongzhen saw Hu Yunqing and Xu Wei coming, and quickly asked Xiao Shangzi to take a seat.
Xu Wei sat down happily, while Hu Yunqing stood aside with an unhappy look on his face.
"Master Hu, your Majesty will grant you a seat, please sit down quickly!"
Seeing that Hu Yunqing didn't give the emperor any respect, Xiao Shangzi quickly reminded him in a low voice.
"It's okay, my cousin can do whatever he wants."
"General Xu."
Regarding Hu Yunqing not giving him face, Chongzhen just smiled and didn't care at all. It was him who breached the contract first.
Then he put away his smile and looked at Xu Wei and said.
"The end will be here."
Xu Wei, who had just sat down, quickly stood up when he heard Chongzhen calling him.
"This time when we go to Gansu, we must protect Mr. Hu's safety. If Mr. Hu is even slightly injured, there will be no need for your head to exist."
Chongzhen patted Xu Wei's shoulder with his hand and reminded him.
"Yes, leave Mr. Hu's safety to me. Even if I die, I will protect Mr. Hu."
Xu Wei thought this was a good job, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous. I was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat.
"Okay, you go down first, Mr. Hu and I still have something to say."
After hearing that Xu Wei understood, Chongzhen looked at Hu Yunqing, waved his hand and said to Xu Wei.
