"More than half of the imperial army was lost, and about 30,000 people were lost in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing..."
As for the loss of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, Xu Yuantu still didn't say anything, but putting the data here, Emperor Mingkang was not a fool, so he could naturally tell what the loss was.
"Haha~~"
Emperor Mingkang smiled coldly. He didn't say anything this time. The cavalry under Jia Chu was so powerful that he loved and hated it at the same time. If he could control this cavalry, he would be able to charge into battle or defend the capital.
, are all big trump cards.
But judging from previous contacts, these people's loyalty is ridiculously high. No matter what promises they make, the other party remains unmoved. With such loyalty, he likes him from the bottom of his heart. But at this point, he
Very headache again.
After all, such loyalty means that he cannot win over him at all. As for starting a new army, he has had this idea before, but after learning that this thousand-man army can cost as much as half of
After spending the money on the treasury, they gave up.
Jia Qi was able to cultivate such an army. In terms of expenses, he also secretly investigated and found that most of the wealth plundered by Jia Qi when he led his army to wipe out Northern Xinjiang was spent on this.
Emperor Mingkang still admired Jia Qi's courage. If he moved to another place, he might not be able to have Jia Qi's courage, so it would be impossible for him to train such a cavalry.
.
Fortunately, this champion who he personally named is not an outsider. He is a member of the royal family's bloodline who stayed outside, so he does not count as an outsider. Therefore, he can still tolerate this cavalry in his heart. If it were another situation, he would have long ago
He took action against this iron cavalry that was beyond his control and whose combat power was extremely exaggerated.
As the saying goes, "How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?"
"Can we find out how many thunderbolts King Dongping still has?"
Emperor Mingkang quickly grasped the core of the problem, which was the thunderbolts that appeared in the hands of King Dongping. Without these extremely powerful firearms, King Dongping would be nothing more than a toothless tiger to the capital.
It can kill him.
"The specific number is not known yet, but based on King Dongping's attitude towards using thunderbolts on the battlefield, the opponent at least has a number equivalent to the number used in today's battle."
Emperor Mingkang sat on the dragon throne, his eyes twitching. If such a number of thunder bombs were to explode in the capital, he could not even think about the consequences.
"Dai Quan, when will Lin Ruhai and the others arrive??"
When he received the news, he arranged for someone to go and summon him. The current situation was already a bit dangerous. He thought he could stop King Dongping outside the capital this time, but he didn't expect that things would develop to this extent.
"Back to the emperor, everyone is waiting outside!"
At this time, as the ministers of Emperor Mingkang, Lin Ruhai and others spent most of their time in the palace and had very little time to go home. When they heard the summons, they waited outside the door early.
"Xu Yuantu, who do you think can solve the current crisis?"
Suddenly, Emperor Mingkang asked.
Xu Yuantu was stunned. As a secret guard, he was only responsible for collecting intelligence and supervising officials. He was actually not proficient in official administration and military affairs.
If it had been before, he might have said that the champion Hou would definitely be able to defeat the enemy, but now that Jia Qi has disappeared for a long time, it is a matter of life or death. This originally excellent answer can no longer be used.
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuantu did not give his own answer without authorization. In fact, he did not know who could defeat the enemy.
Perhaps Jia Qi's brilliance was so dazzling that in the court, those young people who still had some talent in leading troops in war became very inconspicuous.
So Xu Yuantu didn't remember a few of those people, or even none at all.
"I don't know either!!"
Emperor Mingkang suddenly spoke leisurely, but his voice was so soft that even Dai Quan, who was standing not far from him, did not hear clearly.
This time, there were three groups of rebels, and the imperial court also had three groups of armies to fight back. The leaders of the other two groups were from Jiubian, newly promoted nobles, and they were all promoted by him personally.
The road to King Dongping is the road closest to the capital, and it has also changed from a thorny problem at the beginning to a big trouble that has to be solved now.
Before Jia Qi disappeared, he actually didn't put much thought into leading the troops to fight. He would either send someone at random. Anyway, no matter what the outcome, someone would cover the whole situation. If it didn't work, just let Jia Qi go.
Now that Jia Qi is missing, he feels like something is missing. As the problem becomes more difficult, this feeling becomes stronger. Could it be that the entire court cannot find a general who is good at fighting?
That is naturally impossible, but given the current situation, it seems that no one sent there can guarantee victory in this battle.
"If the champion is still there, we should be able to solve it."
Xu Yuantu felt this. This was not because he was selling well, but because he came to the commander of the secret guard. This is what he thought in his heart.
After hearing this, Emperor Mingkang lowered his eyes, said nothing, and just sat quietly on the dragon chair.
It has been a long time since Jia Qi disappeared. In the minds of all the courtiers, they actually thought that the suddenly rising champion was dead. Even Emperor Ming Kang couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart. It is human nature. If it was Jia Qi
If he is still alive, there will definitely be no trace left behind.
"Okay, let's get down!!"
"There are many people in the capital who are not very honest in private. If you find out, report it immediately. I would like to see those people cheating on you."
Emperor Mingkang waved his hand, Xu Yuantu clasped his fists, respectfully replied "yes", and then hid behind the pillars on the side of the hall again.
Dai Quan lowered his head and remained silent.
Despite the lightness of Emperor Ming Kang's words, Dai Quan could detect the hint of blood behind his words. As the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, he knew a lot of secrets. The biggest killer in the palace was the Thunderbolt.
, the number is actually quite a lot, even far more than outsiders imagine.
Those things are easy to carry and are only slightly less powerful than thunderbolts. If used on the battlefield...
But now, even though Emperor Mingkang has reached this point, he still hasn't mentioned this matter, so he knows that there seems to be another plan.
This Emperor of Dakang, who did not look very majestic, seemed to be playing a big game of chess, a game that could cover everyone in the entire capital.
As for who is the chess piece and who is the chess player, he can no longer see clearly. Before, he might have said that he was the Supreme Emperor. But now, looking at it, the old man hiding behind the scenes is not Emperor Mingkang at all.
The opponent seemed to be teaching Ming Kangdi how to play this game.
It seems to be saying, "The stars on the chessboard are made in heaven, who dares to play!!"
