Chapter 15
When Jiajing heard Zhang Hao say this, he looked at him in surprise.

"That's not easy, Ding Rukui dare not fight, he is afraid of failure! When he fails, you can kill him, the emperor. As for the people outside the city, and the dignity of my Daming, that has nothing to do with him, he Anyway, being an official, living in the city, there is no shortage of food and drink!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Jiajing with an expression you didn't understand.

"You kid, now we only have so many soldiers in the city, how can we fight?" Jiajing smiled when he saw Zhang Hao's expression.

"Of course we can, Your Majesty, you ask our father and son to lead 5000 soldiers out. Look at us turning over the people killed by the Tartar soldiers!" Zhang Hao said with a serious face at this time.

"What guarantee do you use?" Jiajing asked.

Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing with a puzzled expression.

"Did I say something wrong?" Jiajing was a little skeptical at the moment, he was right.

"Your Majesty, our father and son are going out to fight. You have to promise me that if we win, we will come back. If we lose, we will die in battle. How can we promise? Otherwise, this is for you, last time you gave My 50 taels, I still have 48 taels left, okay? This is a guarantee?" Zhang Hao took out 48 taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Jiajing.

Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded at the moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha. Yes, yes, I was wrong, I didn't expect this level, money, put away, 48 liang can guarantee anything, we are not in business. ."

"No, then there is nothing to guarantee. My father said that for the sake of the dignity of Ming Dynasty, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Zhang Hao said and put away his money.

When Jiajing heard this, he was very moved. To talk about loyalty, it was the old lords, and only they remembered that Daming still has dignity to maintain.

"No, children, if you die in battle, how should I face your family?" Jiajing said with emotion, and he was not willing.

"Your Majesty, then... just allow those Tartar soldiers to kill my Ming people outside the city. They'll have fun with it, for years!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said.

"Well, wait until the Qin Wangjun arrives!" Jiajing said with a wave of his hand.

"You don't have to wait for them, Your Majesty, you can trust our father and son, and you have to kill them personally." Zhang Hao continued to stare at Jiajing and said.

"Well, okay, I got it! You are sitting next to me, waiting for those ministers to come over to discuss matters. You are not allowed to talk nonsense." Jiajing explained to Zhang Hao.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao said, carrying the hammer and preparing to go outside.

"You stop, why are you going?" Jiajing immediately stopped Zhang Hao when he saw Zhang Hao was going out.

"I'm going to beat that traitor to death, Your Majesty, why do you keep this kind of person, it's a shame to my Daming!" Zhang Hao stopped, turned his head and said to Jiajing.

"You come back, why are you in a hurry, I will ask him about it later!" Jiajing waved at Zhang Hao anxiously, for fear that he really went over and killed others.

"Okay, after asking, you hand him over to me, and I'll hammer him to death!" Zhang Hao nodded and returned to the seat he just sat.

"You just sit there honestly!" After Jiajing finished speaking, he returned to the platform.

Soon, the six ministers, the cabinet, and Zhang Rong came over. When Zhang Rong saw Zhang Hao here, he was stunned for a moment!
"Your Majesty?" After Zhang Rong finished kneeling, he looked at Zhang Hao and then Jiajing.

"The Tatar messenger outside was escorted by Zhang Hao!" Jiajing explained.

"Oh, I thought this bastard was causing trouble again!" Zhang Rong was relieved at this moment.

"Get up, sit down, and show this letter to everyone!" Jiajing said and gave the letter to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang took the letter and showed it to them. After reading it, everyone's face was ugly!
"Your Majesty, please allow His Majesty, the ministers are willing to lead the army out of the city to fight, and they must kill their spirits!" Zhang Rongqi knelt down directly and begged Jiajing to agree to go out to fight by himself.

Jiajing watched this scene, and among the nine people, Zhang Rong was excited to go out to fight, while the others, although angry, were just stroking their beards.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to fight outside the city. There are not many soldiers in my city. In case of failure, Kong Jingshi will be at a loss. Please consider the Emperor!" Ding Rukui also stood up and said to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I will lead 5000 troops out of the city to fight! It will not affect the defense in the city!" Zhang Rong said again.

"I said Mr. British, now it's a matter of discussing letters, not about going out to the city to fight!" Ding Rukui said angrily, staring at Zhang Rong.

"This is the problem of fighting. If my Ming army can beat the Tartars, they would dare to write such a letter to insult the Holy One? Your Majesty, please allow your Majesty, sir, I would rather die in battle than let the Tartars know. I am Daming, not without soldiers to fight, my dignity of Daming cannot be tarnished!" Zhang Rong knelt there and said very excitedly.

"Zhang Rong, get up, sit down!" Jiajing was very moved, so many people, only their father and son were thinking about Daming.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong knocked his head on the ground at this moment, sobbing.

Jiajing stood up at this moment, walked down, and helped Zhang Rong without saying a word.

"Zhang Rong, don't say anything, what Ding Shangshu just said is right, now we are discussing the issue of letters and calls, and we will discuss it later!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Rong lowered his head and nodded.

"Tell me!" Jiajing said, looking at the people below.

The letter from the Tartars consisted of dozens of words, and it read: "Give me coins, pass my tribute, that is, the siege will be relieved, and if you don't, you will be a pious Erguo!"

"Your Majesty, right now my Ming army and the Tartar army can't fight, but the Tartar's request is too much! If you agree to them, next time, I don't know what more excessive demands will be made!" Ding Rukui He spoke immediately.

He still doesn't want to fight, but if he wants to say yes, it won't work. Now Jiajing's attitude is not clear.

"Yeah, now that they have surrounded us, King Qin's army still doesn't know when they will arrive, and, after they arrive, I don't know if they can win the battle. Now there are so many Tartar troops outside the city, burning, killing, and looting every day. This is not the way!" Another minister said.

Afterwards, the meaning of the ministers was very obvious, that is, they persuaded not to fight, but no one dared to say anything and agreed to the Tartar's request.

"You...you are my ministers of Ming Dynasty in vain!" Zhang Rongqi stood up, pointed at those civil servants and shouted.

"British lord, everyone is also for Daming. It doesn't mean that the Tartars can be defeated with a passion. The Tartars are big and powerful. If you attack and lose the battle, then the city of Beijing will be lost, and we will become Daming's. Sinner!" Yan Song said suddenly at this moment.

He knew that Jiajing admired Zhang Rong's blood, and there was a faint trend of further reuse. If this was the case, then his own people would be in danger. Daming not only has Zhang Rong as a loyal minister, but also his own loyal ministers.

"If you fail, you will die in battle!" Zhang Rong stared at Yan Song and said.

"What if you die in battle? Beijing City just can't lose." Yan Song stared at Zhang Rong and said.

"Okay, now it's about what to do with this letter!" Jiajing stopped the two of them from continuing to argue.

"Your Majesty, if you agree to it like this, it won't work. However, you can let them retreat first, and then talk about it in detail!" At this time, Xu Jie, Minister of Rites, said.

"Well, it's not a good idea." Yan Song nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible. The Tartars have been asking us to open the horse market in Datong, and we can open it up at that time!" Yan Song said to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, let them retreat first!" The other ministers nodded frequently.

Then those people looked at Jiajing, and Jiajing still needed to make a decision on this matter.

"That's it?" Jiajing asked while looking at the ministers below. He was very angry. These people actually accepted it.

Letting them retreat first is just for Daming's face.

"It's really worthless!" Zhang Hao couldn't listen any longer at the back, and looked at the ministers with contempt and said.

When Yan Song and the others heard it, they all turned to look at Zhang Hao.

"Hao'er!" Zhang Rong also scolded Zhang Hao.

"Zhang Hao, do you have a different opinion?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can't agree. We can open Datong, but this has to be done according to our Da Ming's will. We can open it if we want, and we can't open it if we don't want to. Of course, opening up is also beneficial to me, Da Ming, but now, no The room for negotiation is to fight. If he is afraid of fighting, let's talk.

Don't try to get it on the negotiating table if you don't get it on the battlefield. Also, they want to let the Tartars retreat and then negotiate. No one has ever thought about how to reorganize when the Tartars retreat. troops?Violently clean up the Tartar, people outside also said that my civil servants in Daming have the most backbone!It's all cartilage! "Zhang Hao stood up and looked at the ministers with contempt.

"You yellow-mouthed child! You can't be fooled!" Ding Rukui stood up at this moment, pointed at Zhang Hao, and was speechless.

"I'm wrong? You don't care about the Ming people outside. When you collect taxes, why do you think of others? Really, you are not afraid of provoking people's revolt? When the Tatar soldiers are killed, the people will also Rebellion?" Zhang Hao shouted to the ministers.

"Hao'er, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Rong was terrified, this bastard offended so many ministers at once.

"Am I wrong? They don't have the people in their hearts at all. Without me, they have only their prosperity and wealth!" Zhang Hao continued to speak loudly.

"Zhang Manzi, don't talk nonsense, sit down, shut up!" Jiajing also scolded Zhang Hao at the moment, a man is a man, so it's not okay to talk like this, but it also allows Jiajing to see the truth of Zhang Hao.
