The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 736 Deploying Troops for Reinforcement (Subscribe)

After Zhu Hongyu arrived at the Imperial Study Room, none of the big Ming cabinet members had arrived.

Zhu Hongyu immediately ordered someone to fetch the distribution map of Daming's troops in northern Xinjiang.

Not long after, the map was fetched, and two eunuchs worked together to hang it on the wall.

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Hongyu stared intently at the military distribution map of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall.

Because, for the time being, Daming, with insufficient troops, is unable to conquer the grasslands in the north!

Zhu Hongyu kept pacing in the imperial study room. As time passed, light gradually appeared in the sky.

Half an hour later, all the important ministers of the Ming cabinet arrived outside the imperial study, waiting for the emperor to receive them after everyone was ready.

Zhu Hongyu sat behind the desk, holding a cup of strong tea in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, using the strong tea to refresh himself.

In fact, there is also coffee in Daming now, and they are all high-quality coffee beans.

These coffee beans were sold to Daming by Westerners in the East-West trade.

Although it is said to be a rare item, for Zhu Hongyu, if you want it, you can definitely get it.

However, Zhu Hongyu has no interest in coffee.

Although that thing is really refreshing, it is really too bitter, anyway, he can't drink the so-called mellowness from it.

Still delicious tea!

Especially those Dahongpao mother plants of Longjing and Wuyishan before the Ming Dynasty, the tea fragrance is the best.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"..."

After the important ministers of the Ming cabinet arrived at the imperial study room, they were announced into the imperial study room, and then they all saluted Zhu Hongyu who was sitting in the head seat.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Give a seat!"

While talking, several young eunuchs stepped forward quickly, and brought embroidered piers and short tables for the courtiers.

Tea and snacks are also placed on the short table!

After everyone sat down, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"I have received a telegram from Yanjing!"

"Zhangjiakou has been attacked!"

"The grandson of Mongolian Great Khan Lin Dan Khan gathered [-] Khalkha cavalry and invaded Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou was in a hurry."

"In this regard, how should I deal with it, you gentlemen feel free to speak freely!"

While Zhu Hongyu was speaking, he ordered someone to send copies of telegrams to the desks of these important cabinet ministers in Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of flipping pages in the imperial study room!

Looking at the telegram sent back from Yanjing, many people's faces changed rapidly, obviously realizing the importance of the matter.

Then there was a messy discussion.

Finally, someone finished reading the telegram.

Xu Bin stood up and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, from the current point of view, our Ming Dynasty's military strength in northern Xinjiang is insufficient!"

"Facing the Mongols' invasion of Zhangjiakou, my Ming Dynasty can only deploy troops from Xuanda or even Liaodong."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"According to the news from the front line, Xuanda has already taken action!"

"Xuan Mansion and Datong have mobilized troops, ready to rush to the aid of Zhangjiakou!"

"At present, Zhangjiakou should be fine!"

"However, next, how my Ming Dynasty will retaliate against Burni's invasion of our Ming Dynasty's frontier is the most important thing!"

Li Guangyuan stood up and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty's troops in the northern borders are insufficient. If we want to attack the grasslands in the north, we will need at least two to three years to expand our army and accumulate food and grass for military supplies."

Li Guangyuan did not agree with the imperial court sending troops to the grassland now.

Daming's military strength in northern Xinjiang is insufficient now, if it is to send troops at this time, it is actually a strategic adventure.

However, for the current Daming, there is absolutely no need to take this strategic adventure!

Just wait another one or two years, and when the imperial court is ready for the Northern Expedition, they can easily crush the Mongols on the grassland with mighty momentum.

When Zhu Hongyu heard the words, he didn't refuse, but just spoke.

"I know!"

"The time for the Northern Expedition has not yet come, so don't be in a hurry!"

"However, not being able to make the Northern Expedition doesn't mean not being able to fight back."

"None of the Tartars who invaded Zhangjiakou this time can be let go."

Zhu Hongyu had already dispelled the idea of ​​launching the Northern Expedition at this time, because he knew that raising troops in anger was a bad idea.

However, this does not mean that Zhu Hongyu has to choose to swallow this breath!

Facing the Mongols who invaded this time, we must beat them hard!

Only when it hurts or is afraid of beating can they have a long memory!
Shi Yongxin said.

"His Majesty, I, Ming Dynasty, may be able to mobilize troops from the Liaodong side to cooperate with Xuanda's garrison to fight a war of annihilation against the invading Tartars."

Now Daming actually has a lot of troops in Liaodong!
A whole five divisions were thrown into the battle to recover Liaodong!

However, due to the withdrawal of the main force of the Qing army, the Ming army of these five divisions basically did not experience any battles in Liaodong.

These five divisions are in good condition with almost no battle damage.

It is absolutely no problem to dispatch them to the grassland in an emergency to cooperate with Xuanda to outflank the Mongols and fight a war of annihilation.

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then looked at Xu Bin in the staff department, and gave instructions.

"The staff quickly came up with a feasible plan!"

"After the plan is finalized, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will send a telegram to Xuanda and Liaodong immediately."

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, everyone agreed in unison.

In this battle of the Mongol invasion, the effectiveness of Daming's telegrams was fully revealed.

In just one day, news can spread from Yanjing to Nanjing!

Nanjing can quickly make a decision, and then order the deployment of troops to deal with it.

It's not like before, the letter has to be rushed through eight hundred miles, I don't know how many things have been missed!
……

By the time the discussion in the Imperial Study Room was over, the sky had completely brightened.

Zhu Hongyu ordered the imperial dining room to prepare food, and then sent it to the imperial study room.

It was Zhu Hongyu's gift to the cabinet members of Ming Dynasty.

Facing the emperor's words, the ministers were also willing to accept them, and there were not many opportunities to build relationships with the emperor.

It's hard to come by, why don't you hurry up and grasp it?

Zhu Hongyu finished the breakfast with the cabinet members. Although most of them didn't eat well because of restraint, Zhu Hongyu was quite full.

Others are restrained, but he is not restrained!
After everyone resigned and left, Zhu Hongyu ordered to prepare for the convening of the Great Court Meeting.

It's just that it was still early, so he didn't go directly to Fengtian Hall, but took a light sleep in the imperial study for a while, recovering his energy.

Zhu Hongyu was woken up by the alarm clock in the Imperial Study Room. When he woke up, it was already 08:30 in the morning.

There is still about half an hour before the time he stipulated for the Grand Court Meeting.

The maid brought a warm wet towel, and Zhu Hongyu wiped his face, exhausted.

Then prepare to go to Fengtian Temple...
