Zhu Qiyu nodded and smiled at Liu Chang: "We fought with Wala during the day and couldn't kill many people. They are basically cavalry. Even if they can't be defeated, they will disappear as soon as they run away.
Therefore, I placed most of my hopes on the night attack. First, I would give our personal guards the best food, and then practice night combat tactics every night. Finally, we will give you the most generous reward system.
If the wait comes first, let him beat him for a few days, and we will only continue to harass him at night. When Wala's attack on several major city gates is thwarted, and the men and horses are exhausted and morale is low, we will conduct a real night attack.
Originally, he was a veteran general who had experienced hundreds of battles and was not easily attacked. But now I have top-secret information on his military configuration, camping habits, camp distribution and other information. When the time comes, there will be internal reinforcements from Oara to facilitate our night attack.
When Yexian least expected it, we broke into his camp in one fell swoop and caught him off guard. Once the enemy blows up the camp, it will be difficult to organize a counterattack. "
Liu Chang was even more excited when he heard this: "In that case, if we succeed in the night attack, wouldn't we be able to kill many enemies?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Our eight thousand personal guards came out in full force. If we can't get back five thousand heads, we will be considered a failure. Coupled with the casualties of other Ming troops, the entire capital defense battle must have at least ten thousand heads." , I was thinking about building a Jingguan from the beginning."
"Five thousand heads? Twenty taels per head. That requires one hundred thousand taels of silver, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Qiyu heard this and replied nonchalantly: "You don't have to look at me. It's your princess who pays for the beheading, not me. Anyway, I don't care. Even if you come back with 10,000 heads, it has nothing to do with me." .”
When Liu Chang heard this, he quickly looked at his princess again.
Lin Xiangyu, however, smiled even more nonchalantly and said: "You don't have to look at me, you can chop down as much as you like, even if you cut down all of Ye Xian's army, I don't care.
Anyway, even if all the silver is distributed, we still have 300,000 taels of gold in our warehouse. I don't believe there are problems in this world that gold can't solve. "
Liu Chang was immediately impressed by his inhumane princess: "There are three hundred thousand taels of gold lying in the warehouse? Oh, that's no problem."
Seeing that they happily reached a consensus, Lin Xiangyu and Liu Chang walked out to prepare to enter the palace.
Zhu Qiyu quickly stopped the two of them: "Princess, please go slowly. You just said that I guessed the purpose of the iron plate correctly, but there will be a lot of rewards. But first, I don't want any gold or silver."
Lin Xiangyu turned back and said with a smile: "Then the princess will give your majesty a chance to go to the secret warehouse and pick out any utensils you like. But let's agree first that it can only be placed in the slave's room and not with other concubines."
Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked her. He was so moved that he almost kowtowed to his little princess.
Lin Xiangyu gave her a meaningful, shy and teasing look, then turned around and left the mansion, got on the carriage, and escorted by Liu Chang and other soldiers, went to the back door of Beifu and picked up the concubine, prince, princess, and several others. The two concubines entered the palace together.
Zhu Qiyu walked into the West Flower Hall with satisfaction, where three members of the Zhongshu House, plus Huang Pu, were already waiting inside.
After discussions all afternoon yesterday, Huang Pu and He Yi had already drawn up a specific strategy for their mission to Wala. After Zhu Qiyu sat down on the soft couch, Huang Pu handed over the note.
Zhu Qiyu read it carefully and handed the memorial back: "Chengji, the strategy you two made is very good. Let's leave it like this. You will burn this article later to avoid leaking the secret.
All preparations will be made today and the mission will be formed. Early tomorrow morning, you can set off with the delegation. There are several special people accompanying the mission, and you must take good care of them.
As for your status, you can concurrently serve as the Youcheng of Honglu Temple and a member of Zhongshushe. The original position of Guangxi Road Supervisor and Censor was still retained. After returning from your mission, you also come to the West Flower Hall to help me handle government affairs. "
Huang Pu quickly accepted the order and stood aside.
Zhu Qiyu asked Bai Gui again: "What's going on today?"
Bai Gui replied: "Your Majesty, several important officials of the imperial court have been waiting in the east duty room for a long time."
"Oh, let them come in."
However, the important ministers did not bring good news. Yu Qian took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Guangdong reported that the traitor Huang Xiaoyang, pretending to be King Shuntian, came to attack the capital of Guangzhou with more than 300 pirate ships. The Guangzhou officers and troops are deployed outside and there are no soldiers to defend the enemy. Please ask the court to deal with it quickly."
Zhu Qiyu was speechless when he heard this: "What Yu Shangshu means is that Guangdong has also rebelled. Can you tell me which province in the south has no rebellion?"
Yu Qian was speechless and didn't answer. Just because there is really nothing to say. Except for Nanzhili, there is no good place in the south where all must and tails are required.
Seeing that Yu Qian was not going to reply, Zhu Qiyu could only wave his hand: "You, the Ministry of War, can figure it out yourself."
Hu Ming then continued: "Your Majesty, King Ninghua of the Jin Dynasty has reported that he would like to join the army with his six sons to kill the thieves in order to repay the country's favor. There is also a King of Jin who wants to come to the capital to congratulate him."
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What does Chao He mean?"
Miraculously, like Yu Qian, Hu Hui was also stopped by the question. Although he has been the Minister of Rites for decades, Hu Hui is not sure what this greeting means today.
Is the King of Jin going to pay homage to the emperor and congratulate the new king on his enthronement? Literally, yes. Conventionally speaking, that's right.
But the ministers knew without asking that the vassal kings were generally dissatisfied with the new king. How could a genuine top prince like King Jin take the initiative to congratulate him?
No wonder the emperor didn't understand, and even the old foxes present didn't quite understand.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that no one was talking, he smiled and said, "Let's all play. Please invite King Jin to come to the capital to congratulate you. Please invite King Ninghua to come to the capital with his six sons to watch the battle. There is no need for King Ninghua to actually go into battle to kill the enemy. Let them follow Come by my side and cheer for the soldiers together."
Hu Hui replied in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, is it appropriate to allow the vassal king to come to Beijing at this time?"
"It's appropriate, let them come. The battle in the capital is about to begin, so let the Jin vassal watch the battle as the representative of the vassal king. After the war, let several clan members truthfully convey the war process to each major vassal.
Whether we have made merits or made mistakes, let each vassal comment and discuss it. Anyway, I have no regrets in my heart, and I am not afraid of what others will say. "
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't refute it. Anyone who speaks out seems to be timid and afraid of others' comments.
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Everyone, please be happy and don't be so dejected. The mission sent to Oara has not returned yet. I plan to send a new mission tomorrow to canonize Boyan Timur and Alazhiyuan. king.
And he also lobbied first to stop him from attacking the capital. If he had to come, it would be at least a few days later.
In addition, it is bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. In order to allow the Supreme Emperor to have a more comfortable life, I decided to canonize the daughter of Boyan Timur as a talented person to serve the Supreme Emperor. The new mission will also bring several palace ladies to serve the Supreme Emperor. "
