Chapter 1766 Decided to go on an expedition

It is said that it is a meeting of all officials in Liaodong, but due to time and distance, officials in Liaoyang are still the main ones.

Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang arrived first, after all, they were a little nervous.

Although Wang Xianggan and Tian Yi communicated last night and received some comfort from Tian Yi, everyone knows that the emperor's actions are often unexpected, and they really can't figure out what the emperor is thinking.

Because Li Chengliang was eager to train troops and did not meet Zhu Yili yesterday, he came to see the situation early and asked Wang Xiang directly:

"The emperor came back yesterday. Have you ever asked about the expedition to the Korqin tribe?"

This is the issue that Li Chengliang is most concerned about.

Fortunately, he felt that he had figured out many things and decided to communicate with the emperor with heart. Therefore, although he was indeed a little nervous, he was not afraid of death.

Wang Xianggan could feel that Li Chengliang looked calm and didn't seem nervous.

"No, the emperor came back just to deal with the matter of the fact that the emperor made a big fuss in the governor's yamen, and said nothing else." Wang Xianggan replied truthfully.

"How do you look like you're in?" Li Chengliang asked again.

"It feels okay." Wang Xianggandao. I didn't notice anything unhappy about the emperor yesterday.

"I have already thought about it and want to apologize to the emperor!"

"If General Li apologized for his failure to fight against the Korqin tribe, then let's work together. I have a responsibility for this matter." Wang Xianggan immediately expressed his opinion.

"Strictly speaking, it's not because of this." Li Chengliang said seriously.

"Why is that?"

"It's because of my awareness and mentality."

"Awareness and mentality?" Wang Xianggan looked at Li Chengliang in surprise. In fact, he had already vaguely felt what Li Chengliang wanted to express, after all, they had already communicated frankly before this.

At that time, I did feel that Li Chengliang's mentality had changed and his awareness had also improved.

"I was too low before and had a bad mentality. Now I realize my mistake." Li Chengliang sighed, "So, I must apologize to the emperor."

Wang Xianggan pondered silently, thinking, the emperor should be very happy to see this.

The officials attending the meeting came one after another. Of course, the emperor did not dare to neglect the emergency meeting.

Li Chengliang and Wang Xianggan didn't say anything more.

For most other officials, they thought the emperor had been in Liaodong all the time.

Zhu Yiliu also arrived under the protection of Zhu Bajie and Tian Yi's guidance, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

After Zhu Yili sat down, he glanced around, and of course he spoke first without turning around.

"Today we are summoned to discuss when to send troops to conquer Mongolian troops, especially the Korqin troops who are trying to resist. I will go to the meeting in person."

As soon as this statement was spoken, the most surprising thing was that Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang looked at each other.

In their opinion, the emperor's words were abrupt. As soon as he came up, he said that he wanted to command the army to personally go to meet the Korqin tribe. It was obvious that it failed the last expedition, but he did not mention it.

So is it a blame or not?

Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang were not sure yet.

Zhu Yiliu continued: "Last time I promised General Li to send 6,000 troops, but in fact I just wanted to go and tent the wind. Unexpectedly, the Korqin tribe really dared to jump up and resist. It was the general trend that I could not resist."

After hearing this, Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang couldn't help but feel hearts waking up and looked at each other.

But this time, we can see from each other's eyes that there are both surprises and surprises, because they both captured the three words "I promise".

At the same time, I thought about the emperor's absence from Liaodong when he sent troops, so why did he say "I agree"?

But after thinking about it, it seemed that he could understand, should the emperor put the blame for his defeat on himself, and not hold them accountable for the rash sending troops?

"Let's discuss, I personally commanded the army, how many troops I sent, and when is the most appropriate time to send troops?"

Zhu Yili glanced around again.

As the general of Liaodong, Li Chengliang asked excitedly: "Have Your Majesty decided to lead the army in person?"

"Of course." Zhu Yili replied confidently, "General Li failed this time, and they would think that the Ming Dynasty was nothing great, and their resistance was even more determined. Of course, I have to find my majesty. This is one of them."

"Secondly, unifying the Mongolian tribes will include them in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is part of the current ethnic policy. No one can question it or oppose it in any form, otherwise it will be conquered by the Ming army."

Zhu Yili's attitude was extremely tough at this time.

"Just like the Korqin tribe, which clearly expressed its opposition to the Ming Dynasty, I could only use force to solve the problem, although this is the way I least want to see."

"I have thought that this time the imperial army was in charge, and a total of four armies were divided into four groups to advance towards the Korqin army. I led the route, with the three camps of the capital as the main force; General Li led the route, with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry as the main force; General Jilin led the route, with the transformed Jurchen Iron Cavalry as the main force; General Qi from Ji Town led the route, with the Qi family army as the main force."

"A tribe who is willing to cooperate, sign alliances and become naturalized as the Ming Dynasty. I will establish Heilongjiang Province and the Mongolian Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on this vast land. If I don't want to cooperate, I will clearly express my resistance, just like the Korqin tribe, it can only be solved by force."

"The four armies, each leading 10,000, totaling 40,000. First, we will conquer the Korqin tribe. What do you think?"

Zhu Yili glanced around again.

Other officials in Liaodong may not be clear, but Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang knew that the emperor said he was asking someone to discuss, but in fact he had made a decision long ago. The discussion was just a formality and could not be refuted.

Refutation is invalid, or even seeking hardship.

Anyway, the emperor's decision cannot be changed. The officials in the capital know this very well.

Wang Xianggan has even gotten used to it.

If the emperor decides to lead the imperial army in person, he will definitely lead the imperial army in person. It is useless for anyone to object.

Of course, Li Chengliang was very happy. First, he wanted to meet the Korqin tribe again and he had to find his face; second, the emperor seemed not to hold him accountable for the failure of the last rash dispatch of troops, and he also took responsibility for him.

While happy, Li Chengliang was still very grateful, so he first expressed his opinion: "I support Your Majesty's resolution and think that Your Majesty's arrangements are reasonable."

The emperor personally led the army, and four armies of 40,000 elite troops were enough to conquer the Korqin tribe.

Maybe it is not surprising to hear that the emperor was personally in charge of the army and surrendered one by one. After all, isn’t the emperor’s ethnic policy equivalent to supporting the Mongolian tribes?

The Mongolian tribes should enjoy the greatest benefit, they were originally for their own good. Look at the current Manchus, the Ming Dynasty was tantamount to "robbing the rich and helping the poor" - to provide one-on-one assistance to the wealthy areas in the Central Plains.

Is it not that I have to resist like this?

Li Chengliang was the first to express his opinion, and Wang Xianggan was no exception, and then said:

"I also support Your Majesty's resolution. Since Your Majesty has already thought about it, I will issue an order directly."
