"Report...report to the Emperor. Duke Fu is currently stationed in Xinzhou City. He has disgraced the royal family and is really too shameless to return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit."
The eunuch trembled and told Fukang's current situation.
However, when Honglin heard this, he became furious again: "Going back to the capital without a face? My 40,000 elites! Are they all ruined by him just saying a shameless return to the capital?"
There was silence in the hall, and all the ministers knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Prince Yunyan's heart was pounding because the destruction of the 40,000-strong army was inescapably related to him.
What if the emperor asks him about it?
So Yunyan decided to pretend to be dead and kept using words to hypnotize herself, telling herself that Honglin couldn't see it.
However, whatever you fear will come true.
"Prince!"
"My son... is here!"
Honglin's cold gaze swept across Yunyan's body, making him shiver and cold sweat drip down his forehead.
"I ask you, why didn't you order someone to report such a big thing in time? Who allowed the troops in the capital camp to be moved!"
"Father, I just can't think of a group of Dongyi. With the power of my imperial master, I will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. Only then..."
"You are actually good at making decisions on such a big matter. How should we deal with this situation now?"
Honglin's question made Yunyan's chest feel like a huge stone was pressing down on him, suffocating him so much that he couldn't breathe.
Seeing that he couldn't answer for a long time, Honglin snorted heavily, and then said to the ministers: "The dogs and chickens in the northwest are disturbed by tens of thousands of Dongyi. Is this still the golden age I thought it was?"
The ministers were speechless.
Honglin continued: "I didn't expect that on the first day after returning from the southern tour, they would prepare such a big surprise for me. Who can tell me what Dongyi's purpose is?"
At this time, the eunuch who delivered the report immediately added: "Your Majesty, Duke Fu also has a secret report to report."
Honglin frowned: "Slave dog, why don't you talk about it together and present it!"
The eunuch tremblingly took out another secret report and handed it to Honglin.
Honglin took it and opened it^_^".
Looking at the neat and orderly printed fonts, Honglin couldn't help being shocked, but he couldn't explain why.
But when he read the contents of the credentials, Long Yan was furious.
In fact, this letter of credence is not much different from the one handed over by Ban Dingyuan last year.
The only difference is that there are a few additional provisions:
The Kingdom of Jin allowed the Han Dynasty to establish a consulate in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and allowed Han troops to station around the consulate to ensure its safety.
Jin Guodang should bear certain responsibility for the conflict between Han and Jin, and a foreign minister should be solely responsible for the specific amount of compensation.
The unified customs tax rate is based on the Customs Administration of the Han Dynasty. It is subject to changes in specific circumstances. Your country cannot change the tax rate without authorization. It should be reached with the officials of the Han Dynasty stationed in Macao.
The port of Mowei and the Han Dynasty caravans were ceded to store supplies, and the Jin Kingdom was not allowed to interfere with anything in the port.
Five more port passages will be opened in the north and south.
Han Dynasty merchants are allowed to open various factories in designated areas in South Australia, and are allowed to recruit local expatriates as workers. Your country shall not and has no right to interfere.
These amounts are preliminary terms. For specific details, please send your country to send a minister with full authority to negotiate. The location is Macao and Hong Kong.
Honglin's face suddenly turned green with anger as he looked at the "crazy" amounts written in his credentials.
"Dongyi is simply bullying others too much. I am the lord of the Great Jin Dynasty, how can I do this?"
Honglin suddenly stood up and said: "Dongyi Langzi's ambition is obvious. I had been vaguely aware of it last year, but I didn't expect it to come true.
To deal with such a person, I, Dajin, should strike hard and raise my troops to destroy his spirit! "
Then, Honglin once again showed the skills of an emperor.
"It is decreed that from now on, all the governors and officials in the North will keep the enemy away from the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"
"If anyone abandons the battle along the way, from officers and soldiers to generals and prefects, no matter how noble or noble they are, they will all be dealt with strictly according to military law!"
"Gather ships from counties and counties along the coast to form a Nanyang Navy and launch a decisive battle with the Dongyi Fleet."
After a pause, he said again: "Zhang Gui!"
Zhang Gui immediately stepped out: "The slave is here!"
Honglin: "I order you to be the general who conquers the barbarians. You will gather 70,000 elites from each camp of the Northern Army and merge them into your Ruijian camp to conquer the Eastern barbarians!"
Zhang Gui shouted loudly: "I obey the order!"
Honglin said again: "Guertai!"
Gu Ertai immediately stepped out: "The slave is here!"
"I order you to be the general of the left and the commander of the imperial army. You will be prepared with sufficient food, grass and baggage. You will be assigned by Zhang Gui to accompany the army on the expedition."
"Slave, you obey!"
"Where is Fuying?"
"The slave is here!"
"I order you to be the right general and lead the six troops of the Beijing camp to assist."
"Slave obeys the order!"
"Fukuo!"
"The slave is here!"
"Immediately set out to Xinzhou to replace Fukang and stick to Xinzhou. Make sure Xinzhou is fine!"
"Slave, you obey!"
"Jisang!"
"The slave is here!"
"I appoint you as the rear general to provide the army with weapons and equipment to ensure a smooth battle."
"Slave obeys the order!"
This time, Honglin was really angry. He ordered more than 20 people in the court to recruit people who were good at fighting for important official positions. Except for Yang Ju, almost all of them who could be sent were sent.
This is an unprecedented Daikin all-star lineup. There are as many as 100 important officials at all levels, and the total number of troops exceeds 200,000. They are all elite Northern troops, vowing to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop.
After Honglin was appointed late, Zhang Gui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this servant has something to say!"
Honglin: "Say."
Zhang Gui: "I think the emperor has neglected something."
Honglin frowned: "Where?"
Zhang Gui: "Jiangnan."
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court showed incredulous expressions.
Fu Ying said: "General Zhang, Dongyi's goal is only the capital, so why would they take a detour to Jiangnan?"
Zhang Gui said: "The south of the Yangtze River is our major tax revenue base, and it is responsible for half of our food and salary in the north. If there is any loss, we in the north will be worried about running out of food."
Fu Xiong: "Old General Zhang is too unfounded to worry about things. There are 300,000 Green Camps in the south of the Yangtze River. If more than 10,000 Dongyi people really go to the south of the Yangtze River, they will undoubtedly fall into a trap."
Fuying also said: "Yes, based on the current attack route of the Dongyi Army, even if it turns south, it will still have to march nearly five thousand miles. Even if it travels a hundred miles a day, it will take two months. If this is the case, , the northern and southern armies are attacking, can Dongyi be destroyed in one battle?"
Zhang Gui said: "My lords, please don't forget that the Dongyi Division not only has infantry, but also a navy that is wreaking havoc all along the coast of Dajin."
Honglin said: "Didn't I just say that we would reorganize the Nanyang Navy?"
Zhang Gui shook his head: "Your Majesty, how can a makeshift ship be compared with a regular navy? The Dongyi ships are strong and huge, and with the help of sharp firearms, they can shoot at port strongholds from a distance of three or four miles. Our Dajin Navy How can it be compared?”
When Honglin heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Indeed, he had heard about the corruption level of the Dajin Navy for a long time, but he was unwilling to provide the navy with new equipment because he was afraid that the navy officers and soldiers would seize the ship and flee.
