Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 28 Latest Military News

It was quiet in Jiyi Hall.

The rain outside was getting more and more urgent, and the pea-sized raindrops hit the window lattice, making a crackling sound.

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, all the ministers present couldn't help but their eyelids jumped.

No, it's not over yet?

Yu Qian also saw the expressions of the ministers and said.

"This is the latest military report I received before this official entered the hall."

Keywords, latest...

Meaning, this is the last serving and nothing else.

So the ministers tightened their strings again and listened carefully.

Yu Qian took out a military newspaper from his sleeves again and read.

"Chen Xuan's guards Yang Hong, Ji Guang, Zhu Qian, Luo Hengxin, etc. report to the court."

"On the [-]th day of this month, I also sent hundreds of elite cavalry to the city of Xuanfu. Some of them were wearing cyan dragon robes. They said, I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Quickly open the gate of Xuanfu..."

"I declare that the guards of the mansion are difficult to distinguish between true and false. It happened that Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief, was visiting other places. Therefore, the guards said to each other that the guards are all the emperor's castle, and they dare not open the door in the evening."

"After a cup of tea, the thieves retreated with those in dragon robes, crossed the Xuanfu River, and headed north."

"The next day, the captive thieves sent two more people, claiming to be the middle official Xi Ning, with Yue Qian in charge of the same, holding a book and asking for gold beads and colorful coins, in order to give them first."

"The matter is very serious, and the ministers and others dare not be special, so they will be sent back to the capital, and the court will make a decision."

Yu Qian's calm voice echoed in the hall.

After reading the military newspaper, Zhu Qiyu said lightly.

"This is Xuanfu's latest military report. Although it has been dealt with by the guards, it will first kidnap the Son of Heaven. Even if this is not possible, he will definitely rely on the Son of Heaven again to make all the pass guards."

"If this happens again, how should the defender decide, we should discuss it as soon as possible, and clearly order the defenders at the border, so as not to disturb people's hearts and cause a catastrophe."

The officials below listened and looked at each other, but no one spoke for a while.

This kind of thing is really hard to say...

Logically speaking, this kind of thing cannot be agreed, but if today's son is in Ye Xian's hands, after all, they will be afraid of the rat.

If you are also angry and angry first, and it is not good for the emperor, then who can take this responsibility?

Zhu Qiyu is not in a hurry. The various news tonight has had a great impact on the bosses.

They do need some time to digest it well.

But what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that the first person to stand up was not the civil servant, but the consort Jiao Jing, who had been silent in the hall.

"Your Majesty Rong Qi, this minister believes that the Son of Heaven is the foundation of the society. Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the Emperor is held by the captive thieves. If I wait and refuse again and again, I am afraid that the captive thieves will become angry and will be detrimental to the Son of Heaven."

"So the minister thought that at this time, I should do everything in my power to rescue the Son of Heaven."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Jiao Jing and thought, this is a bold one!

Is this reasoning wrong?
Of course it's right!

But no one in this hall dared to say that.

why?
Because of these words, I continued to say, "...No matter what conditions the thief puts forward, as long as we can save the emperor, I can do my best to do it. After we welcome the emperor back, we will try to counterattack..."

Of course, these words will never be spoken.

But in the court, many words do not need to be said, it is enough to express the attitude.

But the problem is, if he also grabs such a good card as the emperor first, how can he ask for such a trivial matter?
Sure enough, just after Jiao Jing finished speaking, Yu Shiyue, the head of the Dali Temple, stood up and said.

"It's not right, the military report has already stated that they will also take the emperor under the city first, and the plan is not just gold, silver, wealth, and silk, but a plan for my border town."

"Xuanfu, Datong, Bauhinia, and Dushi are all important frontier towns for my Daming frontier. Once they are seized by the first opportunity, my Daming frontier defense will be destroyed immediately."

"If that's the case, I'm going to enter the border town first, and my capital will be at risk."

The complete border defense system of the Ming Dynasty was only completed in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

However, when Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing, it was to conquer Mobei.

Over the years, the arrangement of the imperial court on the border has been continuously advancing.

Specifically, it is to guard against danger and connect the dots into a line.

Taking Guyuan, Datong, Xuanfu, and Guangning as the basic points, cities were established in various passes along the border, and heavy troops were stationed, and the name was border town.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, the so-called "nine-sided town" was finally formed.

Although it is still only a prototype, the principle is the same.

Yu Qian also got up and said.

"Master Yu said very much. The thieves were originally nomads. Although they were brave and good at fighting, their logistics could not last for a long time."

"Also march all the way first. The closer it gets to our Daming territory, the longer its grain and grass transportation routes will be."

"However, if the other generation uses my border town as a transit point, the grain and grass will continue to stretch, and it will become a serious problem for the confidant."

In fact, in the age of cold weapons, what was fought in wars was food and grass.

The Ming Dynasty dispatched troops this time, the number was 50 troops, but in fact, there were only more than [-] troops capable of fighting.

The reason why there are so many people is to supply the logistics of the army.

For Daming, this is the truth, and for Ye Xian, it is naturally the same!

The Orah army went all the way south, looking like a broken bamboo.

But in fact, every step he took, the logistical pressure increased.

This is also the reason why the Oara army must loot wildly wherever it goes.

If they didn't rely on looting and supply, with their transport ability, it was impossible to supply a hundred thousand troops for such a long time.

Most of the people present were civil servants who were not familiar with military affairs.

Although they knew in their hearts that such things could not be agreed, but they did not know why.

However, as the Minister of War, Yu Qian was naturally aware of the situation in the border town.

After some explanation, the ministers also understood seventy-eighty-eight.

After Yu Qian finished speaking, someone else stood up and said.

"Yu Shilang's words are justified. Bianzhen is the top priority of our frontier defense in Daming, and it cannot be lost. Besides, every inch of my land in Daming is the foundation of society and crops. How can we give up the foundation of our ancestors?"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it, and he was talking about something.

He did have the impression that this person was named Li Kan, and now he should be temporarily in charge of the ritual department.

As Feng Xianguan, these words are also in line with his identity.

However, Zhu Qiyu still did not speak.

Because it's not enough...

On Jiao Jing's side, as an honorable relative, his status is now in jeopardy.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu, Prince Yun, didn't mean to help Xun Qi, it seemed that he made up his mind to follow the queen mother to death.

It was for this reason that he risked being attacked by a group of civil servants to say these words.

This can be seen just by looking at Jin Ying's face when he spoke.

But on Xun Qi's side, Zhu Qiyu didn't really care.

As I said earlier, the current Xunqi, after this battle, was seriously injured, and it can be said that they are not connected. There are only a few who can speak out, and it is impossible to resist the suppression of Wenchen.

What's more, they are relying on the emperor, even if Zhu Qiyu helps them, it is impossible to really gain their trust.

So there is no need to...

He knew in his heart that his fundamentals were on the side of the civil servants, at least at this stage.

Therefore, the first thing he needs to find out is the attitude of Wenchen.

The remarks by Yu Qian and others just now roughly showed their attitude.

But not enough...

Sure enough, it didn't take a moment for Chen Xun, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to speak.

"That said, although the border town is heavy, the safety of the emperor is also the foundation of the society. The minister thinks that if the request made first is not excessive, such as gold beads, wealth and silk, it can be agreed as appropriate to appease his heart. Totally rejecting it, for fear that it will be detrimental to the emperor under his shame and anger!"
