In the court hall, Zhu Yunwen looked at the noisy hall, and his mood became even worse.
He was extremely angry, but mostly panicked.
Even veteran Geng Bingwen was no match, which he didn't expect.
Seeing that the ministers were still arguing, he could no longer suppress his anger and shouted: "Shut up!"
The noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen got angry and then became worried again. His head was in a mess now and he had no clue at all.
Then he asked: "Qi Aiqing, what do you think?"
Qitai went out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Marquis of Changxing should be detained immediately to hold him accountable. If we ignore such a huge loss, who will be willing to fight in the future?"
"It's so funny!" Lan Yu, who had always been silent, said, "If you lose a war and you have to be held accountable, then who would dare to lead the army?"
"What Duke Liang Guo said makes sense." Xu Zengshou went out to agree, "Shilang Qi is so clever. I really think others don't know what you have in mind. Don't you just want to use this to weaken the generals?"
After a pause, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, just follow what Qi Shangshu said, punish the crime of Chang Xinghou, and at the same time comply with Qi Shangshu's wishes, and completely hand over military power to civil servants;
After all, military generals are not as good at fighting as their civil servants, and they will surrender as soon as they reach King Yan! "
"I second the proposal." Another military general came out, "I am getting old and can no longer lead the army. I hope the emperor will allow me to go home and retire."
"I also second the proposal."
"I second the proposal!"
…
The generals knelt down on the ground and put down their picks.
The civil servants have gone too far to bully others, and the current emperor has no brains to stand up to the civil servants. They have long been holding back their anger and have nowhere to vent it, and now it explodes.
In such a situation, the civil servants could not help but be dumbfounded. It was true that they wanted to control the army, but they wanted to control the army by controlling the generals, instead of just going to the battlefield to lead the charge.
Zhu Yunwen was even more panicked when he saw that the generals had stopped working. At this time, how could he dare to let the generals leave? He quickly said: "Please be patient, gentlemen. The reason why Marquis Changxing's attack was unfavorable is because King Yan was too cunning;
Moreover, the Marquis of Changxing was able to defend Zhending with 30,000 people, preventing King Yan from going any further. This was also a great achievement. The merits and demerits were balanced, and there was no reward or punishment! "
After a pause, he reassured: "Civil officials govern the world, and military generals bring peace to the country. Without anyone, nothing can be done;
Confucius said: To stretch without relaxing is the way of civil and military affairs; to relax without stretching is the way of civil and military affairs; to relax without stretching is the way of civil and military affairs;
Civil servants and military generals each perform their duties and do not interfere with each other. What Xu Aiqing just said is a big fallacy! "
Seeing that the emperor spoke so pleasantly today, the generals' anger calmed down a little. The civil servants also realized that they were acting too hastily and kept silent.
Xu Zengshou saw that the trouble was almost over and immediately apologized.
Xiao Xiaozhu was magnanimous and just said: "A man with a gentle temperament is a man's true nature." Then he passed it.
The situation was finally under control. Xiao Xiaozhu breathed a long sigh of relief and no longer dared to bring up the matter of punishing Geng Bingwen.
"My dear friends, the most important thing right now is to put an end to King Yan's troubles. Who is willing to fight?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war against King Yan!" Xu Zengshou said from the squad.
Qi Tai frowned and left immediately, "Your Majesty, think twice. I think Cao Guogong is more suitable."
Not only was Qi Tai worried about his brother-in-law beating his brother-in-law, Zhu Yunwen was also worried about it, so he immediately agreed to Qi Tai's proposal.
Besides, Li Jinglong is his old cousin, so he won’t trick him, right?
Zhu Yunqing cleared his throat and said, "Li Aiqing accepts the title!"
"I obey the order." Li Jinglong handed over his hands and left.
"I order you to take over Geng Bingwen's position as General of the Conqueror Army and lead an army of 500,000 to conquer the King of Yan. Immediately mobilize the army and rush to Peking to put down the rebellion."
After a pause, he added, "Li Qing is still the Supervisor of the Army, and you stay with him."
"I...obey the order!"
Qi Tai frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we must not rush into the deployment of troops. We need to consider the long term and formulate candidates and battle plans... Moreover, we don't need half a million people!"
"I second the proposal." Huang Zicheng said, "A maximum of two hundred thousand is enough, for a little King Yan..."
"I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me any more." Zhu Yunwen was already anxious, "Li Aiqing, I order you to set off within ten days. Not one of the 500,000 troops should be missing. We must capture King Yan in one fell swoop!"
Li Jinglong said respectfully: "I obey the order."
The ministers were in an uproar. No one expected that the always indecisive emperor would be so decisive this time. He did not even look for the issue of defeat, and did not recall the soldiers, but directly sent troops.
It's five hundred thousand per round, so that's all. We'll set off within ten days.
This is simply... nonsense!
Little did they know, Xiao Zhu was already panicking. He, who was already insecure, was even more panicked after experiencing the fiasco of veteran Geng Bingwen.
If the king of Yan is not cut for a day, he will not be able to eat or sleep well.
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists and said secretly: "An army of five hundred thousand can chew through the small city of Beiping even if it takes a little bit!"
He is confident that there will be no surprises this time!
However, it is difficult for Li Jinglong to handle it. Five hundred thousand, how can he lose?
If Geng Bingwen hadn't been so popular, he would have had his family confiscated and exterminated. But he only lost 130,000 yuan, while he only lost 500,000 yuan!
An army of 500,000 people didn't use any tactical formations at all. They went straight up and had no chance of losing.
Even if Zhu Di moved Juyongguan to the front of Beiping City, he would not be able to stop it, let alone the small Beiping City.
Damn it, you don’t play like this!
But no matter what, Zhu Yunwen had already issued a death order, and he could only obey it.
What made Li Jinglong even more frustrated was that the Ministry of War was extremely cooperative. Even people from the Ministry of Industry came to help, and the military supplies were dispatched very quickly.
There was no way, Wen Chen regarded him as one of his own.
Zhu Yunwen was urging him all day long, which made Li Jinglong unable to slack off even if he wanted to.
Ten days later, the 500,000-strong army was ready. On the day of the army's departure, Zhu Yunwen showed his importance and personally sent the army out of the capital, and helped Li Jinglong support and push the cart.
The majestic emperor is willing to work as a groom for Li Jinglong.
It is rare in ancient and modern times for an emperor to give a grand ceremony to a general, holding a hub and pushing a wheel.
Even when Lan Yu conquered Beiyuan Royal Court, he did not enjoy this kind of treatment.
Li Jinglong was not ordinary moved, he was quite moved. At the same time, he was also very sad.
…
Li Jinglong, the general who conquered the captives, set out with an army of 500,000, carrying all the hopes of Xiao Zhu.
In early September, Li Jinglong arrived in Zhending and joined forces with Li Qing and Geng Bingwen.
Both Li Qing and Li Qing were stunned. They looked at the dark army of 500,000 people and kept rubbing their eyes.
"Even if you rub your eyes out, half a million is still half a million." Li Jinglong said angrily, "This is not your 130,000 claiming to be 300,000, it's really 500,000, and the cannons are all equipped. "
"Damn it." Li Qing swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "Isn't this too quick, Your Majesty?"
Geng Bingwen also looked ugly, thinking: King Yan is in danger!
With half a million troops to attack Peiping, as well as artillery and dogs, we can win.
Uncle Bingwen sighed and asked, "My dear nephew, how will the emperor arrange for me?"
"The Emperor wants you to go back."
Geng Bingwen nodded, "Let's go, Li Qing, let's go back."
"You go back alone." Li Jinglong said, "Brother Li is my supervisor."
"What?"
Seeing that the one who shared the pot was gone, Uncle Bingwen couldn't sit still, "You can't do this, Li Qing, you have to go back with me."
Sorry, Lao Geng, you can carry it alone... Li Qing looked serious and said, "I am the supervisor!"
"Li Qing, you uncle...!" Geng Bingwen was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Li Jinglong said: "Uncle Bingwen, don't panic. The generals in the court are putting pressure on you. The emperor promises not to punish you. Just go back and rest."
"That's okay." Geng Bingwen changed his face very quickly, and immediately looked relaxed, "Okay, my mission has been accomplished, and now I'll watch your performance."
After that, Geng Bingwen called his own soldiers and immediately gave up his fight, not even caring about the 30,000 troops in the city.
He was relaxed, but Li Qing and Li Jinglong were in trouble.
Li Qing really wanted to say something: "God of War, how did you let Zhu Di win in history?"
There is no doubt that Li Jinglong in history was forced to let go, but Li Qing didn't know exactly how he let go.
What makes Li Qing even more sad is that Li Jinglong doesn't know now either.
How could a city like Beiping withstand an army of 500,000 people and be bombarded by artillery?
"Brother Li, what should we do now?" Li Jinglong looked ugly, "Even half a million steamed buns will support King Yan to death;
Also, what to do with the 30,000 in this city? "
Li Qing also felt dizzy for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "No more, the emperor asked you to lead an army of five hundred thousand, don't take any more, just let them stay where they are."
"okay."
Li Jinglong nodded, "Let's go, the emperor has given an order. We must arrive in Peiping in October and launch an attack. The battle will end before the end of the year;
No matter what, we have to arrive as scheduled. Whether it can end depends on God's will. "
Li Qing nodded helplessly, feeling that the trend was inevitable.
He used Geng Bingwen to relieve the fourth child, but it also caused trouble for the fourth child because he ignored an important factor.
——Little Zhu will be anxious!
An army of 500,000 people, with artillery support, not to mention the leader is Li Jinglong, even if three troublemakers come, they may not lose.
If the offensive and defensive battles continue in waves, then others will really be fooled and they will not be able to fool them at all.
Damn, how did Li Jinglong let Zhu Di win in history?
