"In the past two months, Yu Aiqing has mobilized troops and generals to consolidate the city's defense. He has made great contributions to Sheji. He was canonized in Shangshu as the uncle of Xuanfu.
However, it is also true that when Yu Shangshu served as the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shanxi, he was deceived by the treacherous officials in Shanxi.
Let's do this. I will give him a chance to start well and end well. I will order him, as the Minister of War, to oversee all military and political affairs in Shanxi and conduct a thorough investigation of Shanxi's civil servants and generals.
I gave Shang Fangjian the right to act expediently. For the officials involved, I could first remove them from their posts, imprison them for interrogation, or escort them to the capital, and then report them.
The cabinet's decree must clearly state that Shanxi officials should be thoroughly investigated, and Yu Shangshu should be asked to start with Yang Hong. The decree has been drawn up and sent directly to Wala Camp. "
After the ministers looked at each other, no one objected. Chen Xun and Wang Wen accepted the order happily.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu prayed secretly in his heart. He really hoped that Hu Xi and Wang Zhi would stay in the Wala camp and never come back.
Now it is easy for Zhu Qiyu to kill Hu Hui and Wang Zhi in the Wala camp. Because in the Wala camp, there were 500 dead soldiers from Alazhiyuan as internal responders. Now that the alliance between Zhu Qiyu and Ala is about to be officially concluded, it is no problem to mobilize the dead soldiers to kill two people.
But thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu, as the emperor, would not use this method.
Zhu Qiyu has always regarded himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and followed the path of the Mingjun and the Holy Lord of the Han Dynasty, who used a mixture of kingly and domineering ways.
It is definitely not allowed to engage in conspiracy and assassination. It is too cheap to do this.
However, even if Hu Xi and Wang Zhi are also attending the court meeting now, there is a high probability that they will not oppose Zhu Qiyu's decision. Because other ministers did not want Yu Qian to have too much power and prestige, and ultimately to be superior to the cabinet and the other five ministers.
Therefore, the ministers welcomed the new king's approach to balancing the factions in the court.
However, after receiving this edict, the ministers accepted it and resigned voluntarily. The amount of information in today's court meeting is large enough, and the new monarch's actions are ridiculous enough. The ministers have to go back and digest it.
Zhu Qiyu then told Bai Gui and other members of the Zhongshu House: "If you are still tired, please handle the documents properly. I have been under too much pressure recently, so I have to go back and rest."
Bai Gui and others received the order and had no choice but to continue working.
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with the abilities of these people. Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, and Yao Xian are very capable in handling government affairs; they are good at practicing outlines, writing articles, and conducting propaganda; He Yi and Huang Pu were sent to their own army to counselors in military affairs.
At present, everyone in Zhongshushe has his or her own errands. Only Zhu Qiyu, the new king, has nothing to do in military affairs and leisurely goes back to the backyard to find a woman.
…
But he said that at the same time, in Baoding Mansion, the chief officials of Daning Dusi had just received news that the emperor had attacked the Wala army at night and beheaded four thousand people. As for the news that the new king broke the formation and killed the three kings, it had not had time to spread.
Han Qing, the commander-in-chief of the capital, came to Dusi Yamen early in the morning as usual.
But as soon as Han Qing entered the door, he found that the yamen was obviously different from usual. The soldiers were moving back and forth, as if they were going on an expedition.
So Han Qing quickened his pace and came to the main hall, where he saw Zhao Xuan, Xu Ying, Gu Cong, Sun Xiang and others already sitting in the hall.
Han Qing curiously asked the capital commander Zhao Xuan: "Commander Zhao, what's going on?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a decree. He ordered me to lead an army of 20,000 to Zijingguan. He also ordered Commander Han to lead 10,000 Japanese soldiers, and to garrison Daomaguan with more than 1,000 former Zijingguan garrison led by Sun Yushi.
When the Wala army retreated, they had to either go through Zijing Pass or Daoma Pass. Your Majesty ordered Commander Han and Sun Yushi to defend Daoma Pass and cut off the way back first.
Your Majesty will send an army of 200,000 troops to follow Ye Xian and pursue them one after another.
The main force of the army is responsible for chasing behind, and we are responsible for blocking in front. If you intercept them first, we have done a great job; if you let them go first, you will be punished by death.
Without further ado, let’s pack up and set off immediately. "
After that, Zhao Xuan handed Han Qing the emperor's edict and the Ministry of War's transfer order.
After Han Qing took a closer look, he saw that there were no problems with the procedures, and Zhao Xuan was in charge of the most dangerous Zijinguan defense area, leaving the relatively less stressful Duomaguan to him, so he had nothing to say. He didn't even sit down, so he hurried back to the military camp to mobilize troops.
Now only Zhu Qiyu and his confidants know that the Supreme Emperor will pass through Zijin Pass and follow Boyan Timur back to Oara. But Zhao Xuan would only let the Supreme Emperor out of the pass. As for Ye Xian, he could not break through the Bauhinia Pass. In the end, they could only lead the entire Wala army to attack Daomaguan with all their might.
Therefore, the one with greater defensive pressure is Daima Pass, not Bauhinia Pass.
As for whether they can defend the defeat, it depends on the abilities of Sun Xiang and Han Qing.
Before noon, the army had already set out. Zhao Xuan led the newly formed four branches of Yingzhou Guards, totaling 20,000 people, and marched to Zijingguan in a mighty manner.
Sun Xiang and Han Qing led 10,000 people to Daoma Pass.
This shows the lack of Ye Xian's strategic pattern. After breaking through Zijin Pass, Ye Xian believed that the Ming army was vulnerable and did not divide the troops for garrison. In the end, Zhu Qiyu mobilized 30,000 troops to cut off his return.
The direction of Juyongguan was guarded airtight by Luo Tong, the extremely capable minister of the Ministry of War. In the direction of Xifengkou, Totuo Buhua has been working hard and has refused to enter the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province even if he was beaten to death.
So now the Ming Dynasty has formed a tendency to catch a turtle in a urn against Ye Xian, but Ye Xian still doesn't know it and is still in the mood to watch Wang Zhi and Yu Qian's jokes.
However, misfortune is something that will happen in the future. The ones who are suffering now are Wang Zhi and Yu Qian.
Hu Hui was a little better. After all, although the new king hated Hu Hui, the Supreme Emperor liked Hu Hui. Wang Zhi and Yu Qian were offended by both sides.
Zhu Qizhen sent Jin Yiwei Ha Ming to keep an eye on the two of them as they wrote their work reports. Among the two, Wang Zhi's situation was slightly better. After all, Wang Zhi had only been the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for six years. There were not many officials in Shanxi who were promoted and appointed by Wang Zhi.
But Yu Qian is not so relaxed. He has been the governor of Shanxi for nineteen years, and almost all Shanxi officials with a little respect have interacted with him. This is getting worse. Let's write slowly. It has to be written from the fifth year of Xuande to Zhengtong. Thirteen years.
I kept writing until the afternoon, when the imperial negotiation delegation arrived at the Wala military camp, and Zhu Qizhen ordered people to call Hu Xi, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian into the Chinese army's tent.
When the three of them entered the big tent, they saw Ye Xian and Boyan Timur already sitting there with the Supreme Emperor. Below them stood Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, Li Xian and Huang Pu.
Zhu Qizhen did not give up his seat to anyone, so the three of them, Hu Hui, and the five members of the delegation could only stand in separate groups.
Chen Yi asked Zhu Qizhen for instructions: "Your Majesty, if the new emperor has a decree, it should be sent to the minister first. How about I convey the new emperor's decree first and then report it to your majesty?"
Zhu Qizhen also wanted to see what new tricks his good brother had, so he nodded in agreement.
