"Your Majesty, please don't go to war in person. We can win by playing it safe."
Zhang Quan, the governor of Liaodong, was very worried about the safety of Emperor Tianqi.
Not only Zhang Quan, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Zaijin and other civil servants were also very worried, and quickly added a few words, saying that Your Majesty can rest assured and let them go to the front line.
Even He Shixian and a group of generals also requested orders one after another, saying that they would personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and asked Emperor Tianqi not to personally lead the army in the expedition.
"This is not a fort!"
Zhu Youxiao answered them loudly and said that he would listen to him for now.
"I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have four emperors, Taizu, Chengzu, Xuanzong, and Wuzong, who personally conquered and achieved results that consolidated the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I know that I am still young and there is no prince in the court. As long as I go to the front line in person, I will be in personal danger. This is also in Liaodong.
Unlike the Central Plains and grasslands, the weather is colder and the terrain is much more complex. But!"
At this point, determination flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "How do I not know that you are worried about changes similar to the Yingzong Tumu Fort? How do you not know that our Ming Dynasty's martial virtues declined significantly after Tumu Fort? But this is not Tumu.
Castle! Because I am the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow!"
After finishing speaking, everyone became quiet for a while. Of course they didn't want Emperor Tianqi to be in danger himself, but the emperor's determination and courage were indeed irresistible.
At the critical moment, Wei Zhongxian knew it was time to speak for himself.
The only risk area is Kaiyuan, which was once the pearl of Xiaoming and Liaodong, and will become the place where the national destiny gathers...
"bad!"
"yes!"
Qi Jin and Qin Liangyu agreed and whispered back: "The Beijing army will follow your Majesty to conquer the seven directions!"
"Just scold me~ Half of your life has passed since your Majesty, Salhu, rose up because of His Majesty's trust. When is the time to serve the Emperor today and now!?"
I pointed to Gaizhou and the long southern line of Phoenix City, which was originally an advantageous direction for the Ming army to strategically encircle. I am sure that the main attack there will surely be able to regain Jiaidian and allow Gaoli to reconnect with Xiaoming Luxia.
"I have seen your determination to support me in the decisive battle! This battle will be won!"
Wei Zhongxian looked at the eight-sided generals You Shigong, You Shilu, Jiang Bi and others who had not yet taken a step, and then saw the Liaodong generals He Shixian, Li Bingcheng and other generals who were hesitant to speak.
Zhang Quan, He Shixian, Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui and other people who were deeply obsessed with Xiong Tingbi were so moved that they almost cried.
Finally, his eyes fell on Emperor Tianqi and Xue Binxin.
As a domestic slave of the emperor, especially with the power to control the troops, Tianqi has been familiar with the military situation in Liaodong for nearly a year, so it is time for him to step forward and support him.
Qi Jin and Qin Liangyu who were present were the commanders of the Beijing Military Police Regiment and the Expeditionary Regiment. We have rich experience in the battlefield and knew that Your Majesty was supposed to go to the rear.
But our rise from being demoted generals and chieftain generals to becoming junior generals in the Beijing army is all a gift from the apocalypse.
Only the stubborn Zhu Youxiao was left.
"Your Majesty will win! Xiao Ming will win!"
The generals responded in low voices.
Now I have decided that there are empty troops there, and only 3,000 of the 20,000 people will be left.
Zhu Youxiao knew that under the grassland, Xiao Ming had so few cavalry, but Jiannu did not have the two smallest advantages of mountain warfare and slow marching.
Then he moved his front hand to the north, placed it on Kaiyuan, and then pointed northwest from Kaiyuan to the grassland.
Since shipping is suspended in winter, there are no supplies in Gaizhou for the enemy to grab.
Xue Binxin's voice was extremely low. Sun Yingyuan, the imperial horse supervisor of Tengxiang's right guard, was also at the military meeting. He immediately came out and said: "Sun Yingyuan, the right guard of Tengxiang! I swear to fight to the death with your majesty and kill the enemy!"
Wei Zhongxian pointed to the front lines of Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Tieling: "Continue to consolidate the defense outside, and Xiong Jinglue will defend it tightly. The enemy will definitely dare to retreat, so let us give our city defense a try!"
Xue Binxin had already seen that Zhu Youxiao was worried about him, and said first: "Xiong Jinglue, let's listen to your battle plan. Before listening to it, I want him to make less suggestions."
"I will lead a small army of 70,000 people, leave the plains and enter the grassland to defeat the Kormi Mongolia, and see if Jiannu dares to come to a decisive battle!"
Chen Ce and Tong Zhongkui of the Sichuan Army followed closely and said: "The Sichuan Army will definitely follow your Majesty to kill the enemy!"
Everyone took a deep breath, held their breath and thought for a while... It was indeed a similar strategy to Emperor Yongle's. The small army invaded the enemy's territory and truly invited the enemy to a decisive battle.
Zhu Youxiao was slightly shocked. It was a very powerful but very cowardly move. Usually it was winter now, so even if the enemy opened his eyes and attacked from the south, and went to Gaizhou to seize Liaonan, there would be no way to affect the situation of the war.
After Wei Zhongxian walked down, he patted Zhang Quan's arm: "Zhang Xun, please personally lead the way for you. I'm here to avenge Xiong Tingbi's soldiers!"
No one takes the lead. Tengxiang right guard and Tengxiang left guard are Tianqi's earliest team members. The giant system has connected Tianqi to the grassroots soldiers. Now everyone in the army feels that Tianqi is with us, so the two people present The general of the guard then said: "I am waiting for you to follow your majesty to kill the enemy!"
Now I have mixed feelings in my heart. Although Xiao Ming gathered elites and the frontline supplies were abundant in that battle, it was ultimately a must-win situation. As a rear-line person who understands the actual situation and knows the strength of the enemy and the shortcomings of the Ming generals, I still want to persuade Tianqi to stay calm.
This time the pressure came to the other generals.
Zhang Quan took the lead and said: "I've been here since Xiong Tingbi came. I followed General Du Song and failed to supervise the troops in place! I regret the situation day and night. I must have disappointed Xiao Ming that time!"
But before doing that, no one would accuse me of being a traitor like the eunuch Wang Zhen back then...
The Sichuan army under the command of the seven of us was extremely bloodless. Later, Liu Wei only gathered half of the elite Sichuan army and was hastily asked to retreat. Some of us were driven off. We have long been looking forward to avenging General Liu Wei! At that military meeting, we only participated in Generals and below participated, and there were not even a group of middle-level generals in the army who had already wanted to fight.
"This slave must serve Your Majesty in the saddle and in front of the horse! Lead the Royal Horse Guard to protect Your Majesty's safety, and create for Your Majesty the military exploits of Taizu and Chengzu!"
I met Xue Binxin's gaze and replied loudly: "Your Majesty will win! Xiao Ming will win!"
Xue Binxin pointed to the sand table and said: "Although your army is currently small, it is still relatively concentrated. I plan to use the southern route as a virtual force, with fewer flags and less night-time collection operations, but in fact only 3,000 troops remain."
That time we will talk about the battle plan first, and then let Xue Bin make new suggestions, temporarily bypassing the difficult problem that I support.
Wang Zaijin also said that he would work together to fight the enemy to the death.
"I will definitely protect Your Majesty!"
He was only determined for half a breath, and Old Wei's eyes were finally filled with determination.
There is an earthen fortress outside, so we can definitely win.
"Your Majesty has not yet vindicated General Qi Jiguang. Although he has made a declaration to heaven, it has not yet been implemented in the army! You will risk your life for General Qi no matter what!" Qi, who is not yet eighty-four years old.
Kim knows what to do.
"You are a despicable man, but your majesty treats you like a general. Are you responding to your majesty's heroic ambitions?" Qin Liangyu didn't say that he went on an expedition to kill the enemy. If not the sky would fall, you would be afraid.
The civil servants were still determined, but after thinking about what they were afraid of, just scold the officials in the imperial court.
