Huang Pu was very keen to find the key words in the emperor's words: acting vigorously and resolutely.
It can be seen how much the emperor disliked Shanxi's civil and military officials.
Even if the Oara army has withdrawn, the main force of the Shenji Battalion will still be sent to continue to surround the Xuanfu, for fear that these people will cause trouble again.
Xu Heng ignored these and asked Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, the West Route Army you formed is led by Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng. I can understand it. But why is it led by Jin Ying and Xing'an?" , Cheng Jing supervises the army, and Yang Shan counsels military affairs?
Your Majesty, are you really going to rescue the Supreme Emperor? "
Zhu Qiyu laughed and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xu Heng continued to ask: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Shi Heng's army will be defeated?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "I have done everything I should do. I gave Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng a total of 100,000 troops. There are 20,000 troops at Zijingguan, 10,000 at Daomaguan, and 20,000 in Datong City. people.
This is a total of 150,000 troops, and combined with Boyan Timur's army in our Ming Dynasty, the total is only more than 30,000, which is less than 40,000.
I have a lot of information about him, a lot of food, grass and baggage. If he can't win 150,000 against 40,000, can he still blame me?
Anyway, I hope he wins, but if they are really useless, then there is nothing I can do. In the previous battle of Yanghekou, Shi Heng had already suffered a loss and the entire army was destroyed. I sincerely hope that he can gain wisdom and grow into a qualified general. "
Xu Heng, Wang Tong, He Yi, and Huang Pu all understood Zhu Qiyu's words.
Obviously, the emperor was not optimistic that Shi Heng would achieve a hearty victory along the way. At most, it is a small victory or a miserable victory.
As for why the emperor made such a judgment in a situation where 150,000 people were fighting against 40,000 people, everyone present did not understand it in a hurry.
Zhu Qiyu continued to cheer everyone up: "Actually, all we need to do is hold West Road back first and prevent him from returning to the grassland in time.
After our east-route army and the middle-route army defeated the remaining troops in the grassland in Ye Xian, we can quickly return to the division and attack Ye Xian from the front and rear with the west route army.
When the time comes, a battle will determine the outcome, and the good days for our monarchs and ministers will finally come. During the official meeting, in the presence of all the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials, I will grant you promotions and titles. "
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Fan Guang and said, "Admiral Fan, adding up, has your Shenji Battalion killed enough 10,000 people?"
Fan Guang replied with a smile: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. That's enough."
"Okay, then I keep my word. On the day of the meeting, I will officially crown you as the Champion."
Fan Guang knelt down to thank him.
Zhu Qiyu smiled at everyone and said: "Everyone has a share, and no one is treated badly."
After everyone heard this, they knelt down to thank him again.
Zhu Qiyu led everyone to discuss the military deployment for an hour and took care of dinner.
It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that the monarch and his ministers dispersed.
Zhu Qiyu dragged his tired body back to the room. After bathing with his beautiful lady, he lay on the bed with his arms around her. He had suffered a lot this day, and now he could finally relax.
Lin Xiangyu first asked: "Husband, don't you blame the slave family? You just spent hundreds of thousands more taels casually today?"
"No, you did the right thing. Why am I blaming you? Do you think that He Yi was really there just to make a joke? He was checking for my mistakes and filling in the gaps.
He Yi must have noticed something bad going on in the military camp. Treating the rewards of personal guards and other soldiers differently would indeed easily cause problems.
Anyway, our family is not short of this money, we can simply afford it. Besides, money is a bastard, you can still make money after spending it. "
Having said this, Zhu Qiyu continued to add: "You can send people to the southwest of the capital to mine white marble. First, renovate the residence of the mother and concubine, and then we go to the western suburbs to build our landscape garden.
I've had enough of living here for a long time. It's messy and noisy, which affects my mood.
Now I am eager to live in Yuquan Palace, which has mountains, water, rivers, lakes and hot springs. "
Lin Xiangyu quickly echoed: "The Nu family also wants to know that by then there will be only my husband and fifteen of us sisters in the entire Yuquan Palace, so that others can only go to the side hall outside the palace to discuss matters.
We could do whatever we wanted at that time, and no one would bother us. Staying in a hot spring flower room in winter is warm and comfortable, and you can have sex and do whatever you want, which is much better than staying here. "
Zhu Qiyu heard this and patted the thick mattress: "No, let's give out more silver rewards tomorrow, and then promise a bigger reward to encourage the soldiers to finish the battle quickly. Let's go back to our hometown as soon as possible and live a better life." A life in paradise.”
Ningxiang on the side smiled and said: "Then all the people in the country should be wondering. All the emperors and concubines of the Ming Dynasty regard the majestic Forbidden City as their true love. Why is it that Emperor Jingtai's family is so deviant and a nest of snakes and rats? I just love mountains, rivers and countryside.”
Zhu Qiyu secretly sneered in his heart: What's the matter with this? It's obviously a normal aesthetic and taste, but why can I only wait another two hundred years for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty to understand me?
"Hey, I am the absurd emperor number one in the Ming Dynasty, and you are all the absurd concubines of the absurd emperor. Let there be a nest of snakes and rats, as long as you are not buried alive."
As soon as Zhu Qiyu mentioned the burial, the two beloved concubines quickly began to serve him diligently. Since Zhu Qiyu finished explaining the process and details of the burial, the concubines were eager to communicate with Zhu Qiyu and strive to start a new relationship for their husbands as soon as possible, so as to firmly secure the throne. After all, no one wants to die in such a humiliating way.
…
There was nothing to say all night, but on the next day, Zhu Qiyu took the princess into the military camp to reward the soldiers, almost frantically spending nearly a million taels of white money.
For the safety of his family, as well as his achievements and reputation before and after his death, Zhu Qiyu felt that it was worth spending any amount of money.
After all, money is something that cannot be taken with you until you die. If it is left in the warehouse, it will only slowly become moldy.
If you send them all out early, you can bring endless benefits to yourself.
As long as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are paid in full and ensure a good supply of food, grass and luggage, they will never disappoint.
The emperor's method of distributing money will not be justified by the soldiers themselves unless they win a few more big victories.
Now the soldiers of the second battalion and the sixth guard were full of fighting spirit, and they were all screaming to rush up.
After Zhu Qiyu rewarded the soldiers for their hard work, he ordered him to rest early and set out tomorrow to go to the battlefield.
While Zhu Qiyu was rewarding the soldiers, Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng had already led the army to set off for Zijingguan.
But Ye Xian has already taken care of the remaining defeated generals. Because on the night of the attack on the camp, Zhu Qiyu ordered the Ming army to surround the east, west and north sides, leaving the south side open.
There were three towers around, so the Wala army all ran southward in unison. Then the remaining hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, noble servants, and loyal soldiers from the capital all gathered in the south to pursue them.
In this way, although the losses were heavy, since the defeated army all ran south, it was much easier to gather the troops.
In the end, they gathered 15,000 troops and began to figure out what to do next.
