At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 92 I want to personally conquer and conquer Mobei!

The 14th year of Ming Dynasty orthodoxy, New Year's Eve.

All officials are not allowed to rest, but there are a few exceptions.

King Zhu Qiyu, Minister Zuo of the Ministry of War Yu Qian, Hou Chenying of Taining, Hou Lizhen of Xiangcheng, Tongzhi Ha Ming, Commander of the Three Thousand Battalions, and Yuan Bin, Commander of Jinyiwei, were called to the Imperial Study to discuss important matters.

Everyone present could see that this meeting was very confidential, because the emperor didn't even have a eunuch by his side.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said seriously: "You are all ministers of my Ming Dynasty, so I won't talk nonsense. I have called you here today, and I only want to discuss one thing. I am going to send troops. Go north and conquer Wala!"

Although everyone was prepared, they were still quite surprised when they heard Zhu Qizhen say these words.

Zhu Qiyu was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, please think twice!"

You know, although the last personal conquest came back with great victories, the Ming army also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even almost turned you, the emperor of Ming, into it. It has only been half a year since you came back, and you have to go to the personal conquest again.

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but looked at the others and asked, "What do you think, tell me!"

Yu Qian got up and said: "I think that the remnant forces on the grassland are always a disaster, and this battle will be fought sooner or later. However, my Ming court has many famous generals, such as the Duke of England, Marquis of Ningyang, including Marquis of Xiangcheng and Taining Marquis, anyone can be in command, there is no need for the emperor to personally conscript, and what’s more, the troops sent to fight are food and grass supplies. Back then, Emperor Taizong’s imperial conquest took three months just to prepare food and grass. This matter should be done slowly and not rashly.”

Rao Yu Qian was outspoken, these words still saved face for Zhu Qizhen.

Emperor Taizong personally conscripted, and it took three months to prepare food and grass. Fortunately, you, from the time you ordered the personal conquest to the departure of the army, it took less than five days. You can only win this battle!

Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining and Li Zhen, Marquis of Xiangcheng looked at each other and said, "I am willing to go to war!"

Li Zhen then said: "I also agree with the Northern Expedition, but Yu Shilang is right, the emperor should not take risks lightly."

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yuan Bin again, and Yuan Bin said immediately: "Jin Yiwei is the emperor's leader, wherever the emperor goes, the minister will follow!"

Of the six people present, five of them spoke, and only Ha Ming remained.

Ha Ming wondered why the emperor would name him to attend such a meeting.

I am only the deputy commander of the [-] Battalion, and it is enough to have the commander express his opinion. How can the deputy be able to fight against the principal?

Seeing the questioning look from the emperor, he had no choice but to say: "I also agree with the Northern Expedition, but the emperor should give careful consideration to the choice of the coach."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, looked at Zhu Qiyu again, and said, "You know that after I return to Beijing, why do you insist on letting you continue to supervise the country?"

"I... don't know..."

"Just for this personal conquest!" Zhu Qizhen's tone became more and more excited, "Wala also deceived people too much first, and ran to burn, kill and loot on my territory. If I don't avenge this revenge, what face does the emperor have to meet our ancestors? Lie Zong? You will stay in the capital to supervise the country steadily for me. The Duke of England is getting old, this time let him stay in the capital to assist you, take good care of the family, and wait for me to come back!"

"But, Your Majesty..."

"It's nothing but, I have already made a solemn oath, and I will definitely lead the army to conquer Mobei. Yu Qian, you go out with me!"

Yu Qian said blankly: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Zhu Qizhen asked: "I'm here to ask you, what would you have done if my army had defeated Tumubao and the Oala army had attacked the capital?"

"I should stick to the capital to repay the country's favor!"

"If someone in the court proposes to move south, what should you do?"

"Those who suggest moving south should be killed!"

"If you are the commander-in-chief and command the defense of the capital, what are your chances of winning?"

Yu Qian thought for a while, and said resolutely: "If the minister is the commander in chief, he will be able to repel Oirat!"

"That's it!"

Zhu Qizhen said with satisfaction: "When I was trapped, I ordered Jingyuan to bring the imperial edict back to the capital. What I valued was your ability. This time I personally enlisted you to be the deputy commander. Do you have the confidence to follow me to conquer Mobei?"

Yu Qian suddenly felt that he seemed to be drawn into it.

What is being discussed now is not whether we can win or not, but that you, the emperor, will go on a personal expedition every now and then, which is really inappropriate!

"Why don't you talk and dare not go?"

"Of course I dare!"

After Yu Qian finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and was about to explain, but was rushed by Zhu Qizhen and said: "That's good, I will leave it to you to mobilize troops and horses and collect food and grass. I will start preparations after the next year. Three months." Let's go later!"

Yu Qian was relieved when he heard that he would set off in three months. From this point of view, the emperor is still very cautious about this Northern Expedition.

After thinking about it again, the current emperor is very different from before. Since returning to Beijing, every decision he has made is full of wisdom, and he no longer listens to slander. What's more, the national treasury is abundant now. I don't have any worries.

Then hit, I'll go with you!

Zhu Qizhen is very satisfied. The younger brother Zhu Qiyu will not insist too much in front of him. Others have fought with him and will not object. As long as Yu Qian can make sense here, there will be no problem.

"Well, I arranged it like this!"

Zhu Qizhen spread out a map and asked everyone to come forward.

"Ha Ming, I have discussed with King Tan for a long time about something, and finally decided to entrust this important task to you!"

Ha Ming hurriedly said, "Please order, Your Majesty!"

"Remember Beihai?"

Ha Ming nodded and asked, "Is that the North Sea north of the Onan River?"

"Not bad!"

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the location of Lake Baikal, and said: "I decided to form the Beihai Guard, and you will be the commander. As for the troops, 5000 elites will be drawn from the [-] battalion, and [-] people will be drawn from other guards to arrive first." Behind Oala, help the local tribes resist the invasion of the Raksha Kingdom, and bring Beihai into the territory of Ming Dynasty!"

Ha Ming had followed Zhu Qizhen to Beihai, so he had a better understanding of the local situation. If Beihai could be included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, it would not only expand the territory, but also send troops from the back of Oala to contain it.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Zhen again, and asked, "Does the Qing family have any objections to transferring people from the Three Thousand Battalion?"

Li Zhen quickly shook her head and said, "I have no objection, even if all three thousand battalions are taken away!"

Just kidding, you are the emperor, you are the biggest, how dare I have an opinion...

"That won't work, the [-] Battalion has another mission!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head lightly, and said: "You can select 500 people from the Fifth Army Battalion to make up for the [-]. In this Northern Expedition, I require the [-] Battalion to take the lead."

When Li Zhen heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Chen Ying!"

Chen Ying stepped forward: "The minister is here!"

"Wang Gong Factory in Xishan, you have to keep an eye on it. The research and development of flintlock guns and Francois machine guns has made breakthroughs, and they are about to be put into mass production. The Shenji Battalion must become familiar with the use of new firearms as soon as possible!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ha Ming asked again: "Your Majesty, since the Beihai Guard has been formed, besides the commanding envoy, will you select a few more adjutants?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "I will entrust this matter to you. When you arrive in Beihai, choose a commander from among the local tribal leaders to assist you in managing Beihai's political affairs."

"If those tribes are disobedient, what should they do?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said, "Then find someone who is obedient!"

Ha Ming's expression froze, and he said, "I understand!"
