Datong, Dusi Yamen. The commander-in-chief Wang Chengming and Xue Lu, the commander-in-chief Sun Xun and Zhou Yuan, the Qianhu Zhang Yi, Wang Yang, etc., welcomed Liu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Dusi, and the commander-in-chief Wang Xian, Qilianshan and others.
Xue Lu introduced the generals, and finally turned his attention to the Confucian scholars aside, and introduced to Liu Zhen and others: "These are the newcomers from the Imperial Academy, Ping Ping, Ji Hong, Dai Bang..." Ping Ping, Ji Hong The others saluted Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen looked at the young disciple and nodded slightly. Without even returning the courtesy, she looked directly at Wang Chengming: "The storm is rising suddenly. Datong is a military town and an important frontline area. There is no room for loss. How are you going to deal with it?" When Wang Chengming saw Liu Zhen asking himself first, he was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Coming back to Liudu to command the envoy, Datong is extremely important and its power is strong. We believe that sticking to Datong and guarding the main roads is the best way to deal with it. What's more, the King of Yan has already taken command in Peiping. If he leaves the border, he may not choose Datong. If he goes north to other cities, Datong will not be lost, which will be the greatest support for the King of Yan's strategy."
"Stick to it?" Xue Lu's face suddenly darkened. Liu Zhenshen thought so, looked at Xue Lu, and said seriously: "What Wang Tongzhi said is reasonable. Holding on to Datong is the greatest military achievement. Xue Tongzhi, you should know that the people in Shanxi are in dire straits. In the past few years, they were either supporting Western Xinjiang or There is a drought and the people are exhausted, not to mention it is the hot summer in July. If a large number of people are recruited, I am afraid that they will lose the support of the people and may even be unstable in the rear." Xue Lu said with a cold face and asked seriously: "When will Commander Liu Du make the envoy? Now that you have become the chief envoy, why haven't you heard from the imperial court and asked me to send a letter to the emperor?" Liu Zhen's face suddenly turned ugly.
Xue Lu did not give Liu Zhen face. People's support, people's power, and logistics are still within the scope of civil affairs and are the responsibility of the chief envoy.
You are the one who commands the envoys and manages military affairs. There is no need to consider civil affairs. To say the least, it is Ding Jingfu!
Liu Zhen said solemnly: "It is not appropriate to go on an expedition at this time. You must know this. Stand firm and strengthen your defenses. As long as the enemy does not enter the pass or enter the pass..." Bang!
Xue Lu slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "Isn't it appropriate to go on an expedition? I don't know why it's not appropriate?" Liu Zhen stared, feeling angry: "First, it's unbearably hot in July, and the weather is not with me. When transporting civilians, there will definitely be losses on the way. If the number increases, some people will faint on the road, and logistics will be difficult to protect. Secondly, when going out to fight, it is the grassland. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, mainly defensive, supplemented by offense, the vast grassland, the geographical advantage is not ours ! Thirdly, the grasslands are vast, the desert is scorching hot, and logistics are difficult to maintain. The sergeants will definitely complain, alienated from morality, and we are not in harmony with each other!"
"How can we fight this battle if the right time, place, and people are not there? What's more, the imperial court's decree is very clear. King Yan is the main force for the expedition, and Datong is just cooperating and waiting for opportunities. If you want to lead Datong's main force out of the border to fight, once you penetrate deep into the enemy However, if Datong is empty and the enemy attacks, wouldn't it mean that Datong cannot be protected? If Datong is lost, Peiping will be threatened. King Yan is out on an expedition, and Peiping will be even more empty. Once Peking is lost, the world will be in chaos!"
"Xue Lu, everyone, if you underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, it is better to stand firm and wait for change. Considering the overall situation, Datong's military strength cannot be moved, and the sergeants of each guard station should not leave the border. The grassland is not my main battleground, and it is not a place where I am good at fighting. It is right to exploit our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. If the battle out of the pass fails, the losses are serious, and the layout of the King of Yan is harmed, wouldn't it be a crime of dereliction of duty?" Wang Chengming stood up to support: "What Commander Liu said is absolutely true, we should stick to Datong." Shanxi Dusi's colleague Zhi Wangxian also stood up to support.
Xue Lu looked at everyone with a majestic look. Datong commanded the ministers Sun Xun and Zhou Yuan, and Qianhu Zhang Yi, Wang Yang and others did not express their opinions, but remained silent.
Wang Chengming was a little embarrassed. Xue Lu walked to the door, closed the door in the astonished eyes of everyone, turned around, clenched his hands into fists, his joints cracked, his neck tilted from side to side, and said coldly: "Now, let's close the door. Let’s discuss carefully and decide whether to take the initiative to attack or passively defend.”
"I, Xue Lu, am a rough man. I have a martial arts background and don't have much knowledge. If I say something wrong, please bear with me. Commander Liu Zhen and Liu Du, and Wang Xian Wang Tongzhi, have you fucking forgotten somewhere here? This is here. This is Datong Dusi, Shanxi Xingdusi, not your Shanxi Dusi. An officer from Shanxi Dusi came to Datong Dusi to command and give orders. Are you worthy?" Liu Zhen stood up suddenly: "I am the commander of the capital, you are just a Commander, Tongzhi!”
"So what?" Go directly to the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army! In other words, if the Datong Commander-in-Chief wants to go out and fight, he should stay here. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army is the one who gives the order. Of course, the one who gives the order now is General Zhengbei! Who do you think is the elder?" Liu Zhen's face was extremely ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Datong Dusi does not have a commander-in-chief, I have the power of supervision." Xue Lu snorted: "The power of supervision is not the power of decision-making! It is not your turn to deal with Datong affairs. Point your fingers! If you want to decide the military strategy of the Datong Dusi, you can either go to the Fifth Army Commandant’s Mansion, ask King Yan for an order, or go to the emperor for a decree, otherwise, shut the hell up!"
"Now the whole world is attacking the Ming Dynasty. It's the time when the Ming Dynasty is in danger. You actually said that we should defend? Guard against your grandma. What I want is to attack, to kill the enemy, and to expand! The Great Wall is not the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars and Oaras! Our Ming Dynasty does not have a border to the north, wherever we fight, it is the frontier!"
"This time the court's strategy has been very clear, which is to completely defeat and eliminate the main Tatar force. Datong is an important town for outbound operations. How many years have everyone been looking forward to this day? Now the opportunity has arrived outside the city gate. The enemy's cavalry He has already started heading towards us, how can we allow him to be so arrogant?" Bang bang bang!
Three rounds of applause were heard. Liu Zhen looked over and saw a young man walking out among the Confucian scholars. Ping Ping looked at Xue Lu with admiration and said with a smile: "When we were in the Imperial College, Gu Pu talked about Xue Tongzhi and said he was a man like a great eagle. I am waiting in the military academy, but I regard you as my idol and want to be a man like an eagle. I long for it." We are eager to go to war, eager to go to the battlefield, eager to expand our territory, some people call us hawks, haha, I think this is a compliment."
"His Majesty once said that if the Ming Dynasty wants to stand at the top, the enemy has only two ways to go, either kneeling and surrendering, or lying down and dying. If the Tatars don't kneel, then they can only die. They don't attack, they only defend. The enemy cannot die, and the Ming Dynasty cannot stand at the top! How could the rise of the Ming Dynasty avoid earth-shattering wars, and how could it not avoid the corpses of the enemy?"
"For example, Commander Liu Du, Wang Tongzhi and others are as docile as lambs. When facing foreign enemies, they only think about guarding the sheepfold and guarding the fence. If the enemy cannot get in, everything will be fine. People with this kind of thinking are in the Imperial Academy. , is called Sheep Pie. As we all know, no one will be afraid of a sheep, even if it has horns, even if it is a flock."
"The people of the Sheep Faction should feel ashamed. The people who can really carry the future of the Ming Dynasty are the Eagle Faction. If the Ming Dynasty wants to be strong, it needs the people of the Eagle Faction to guard the border. Anyone who bullies the Ming Dynasty will be eliminated. Is it the majestic Ming style, huddled in the city, allowing the other side to break the Great Wall, march in, and let the other side plunder the people outside the city, while we sit on the city and watch? Ha, this is not the power in our hearts!" Liu Zhen looked at After calming down the conversation, he said sternly: "Who do you think you are? A supervisor of the Imperial College. Where can you speak?" He took out a document from his sleeve and shook it: "Who do you think I am? Then Let me tell you, I am calm. He is a top student of the Imperial Academy, a Jinshi of Wu, and a military governor of Datong and a member of the army appointed by the emperor!" Xue Lu looked at the livid Liu Zhen and added: "He is safe. Eldest son, if you are dissatisfied, don’t bully the younger generation and go directly to Ping An to settle the score. Again, Datong Dusi has the final say on matters concerning Datong Dusi, and no outsiders should interfere. Don’t forget, I, Xue Lu, am the Shenji General of Zhengbei. , is a subordinate of the Northern Army. If I am not allowed to come out during the Northern Campaign against the Tatars, what is the use of being this magical general?" Liu Zhen stood up and angrily shouted: "In this way, Datong will be in danger and Shanxi will be in danger. !" Xue Lu shouted angrily: "Should you say: The Tatars are in danger! In addition, you don't need to consider the affairs of the Chief Envoy. If the Chief Envoy hinders the expedition to the north, he will have his own fault. The emperor will deal with it! If you disturb the morale of the army, I can also write a letter of impeachment! I just don’t know whether His Majesty the Emperor is leaning towards the sheep faction or the hawk faction?" Liu Zhen gritted her teeth, waved her sleeves and walked towards the door: "Let's go!"
"No!" Xue Lu said coldly, watching Liu Zhen and his party leave, then turned to look at Wang Chengming: "Why, in order to seize control of Datong, you even invited Liu Zhen? Since Guo Ying left, , Datong has never had a capital commander. You wanted to be promoted, so you chose to join Liu Zhen? Are you stupid? The people who decide on the choice of Datong capital commander are in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Ministry of War, the cabinet and the emperor, not in the Shanxi Dusi! "
"With your intelligence and ability, how can you control Datong Tiger Wolf Sergeant? In my opinion, it is better for you to submit a letter to become an official. From now on, I am ordered to take over the affairs of the capital, Datong city defense, and Datong capital's subordinate guards, all are at my disposal ." Wang Chengming shouted angrily: "I am also a fellow commander! You and I are on the same level, why should you take over the affairs of the capital?" Ping Ping took out his sleeves, took out a yellow scroll, and cleared his throat: " Datong Dusi accepted the order." Wang Chengming was shocked, and Xue Lu and others knelt down one after another.
Ping Ping unfolded and looked at it, and said directly: "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun has issued an edict: Xue Lu is promoted to the commanding envoy of Datong, and he will assist the Northern Army General Zhu Di in conquering the Tatars. I admire this."
