Chapter 16 Jiajing's Arrangements
Chapter 16
Zhang Hao said that the civil officials were all cordyceps and turned on map cannons, but Zhang Rong was frightened, and Jiajing hurriedly stopped Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty, I'm right! My soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have never lacked backbone, and my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have no lack of backbone. The emperor guards the country and the king dies in the country! Why is it not possible to reach this generation?" Zhang Hao stood there and continued.
There is no way now, I have to go out and fight. If not, the Tatars will come to kill them.
"Okay, go and sit down!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao with a dark face.
What Zhang Hao just said, but it has gone into his heart. Why can't it be possible to reach this generation?
"Your Majesty, now our Ming army is distributed everywhere, and it takes time to mobilize it. The Tatars' army is all cavalry, and it comes and goes quickly. When our royal army arrives, they run away. So now fighting with the Tatars is because of insufficient troops, and the other is that the capital cannot be lost. Once the royal army arrives, the Tatars retreat!" Yan Song bowed to Jiajing at this moment and said.
Jiajing nodded, but Jiajing also knew that there was another thing he didn't say, what should the people outside the city do? The people outside the city just let it be tortured by the Tatar soldiers?
"Your Majesty, please reply and let the Tatars retreat first. Others can be discussed and opened up the horse market in Datong and Xuanfu!" Lu Ben also bowed and said at this moment.
The two cabinet ministers said this, so there was no need to say the other ministers. They originally meant this, and Zhang Rong was sitting there, feeling anxious!
"Yeah!" Jiajing nodded, sitting there and stopping talking.
Yan Song knew what Jiajing meant, so he still had to take the blame himself, so he continued to bow to Jiajing and said, "If the emperor agrees, then I will go and write back?"
Jiajing nodded slightly.
Yan Song then knelt down and said, "I will retreat first, and please take care of the dragon body! I will definitely not agree to send troops to fight. Once we send troops to fight, the Tatars will not agree to withdraw at that time, and it will be troublesome!"
"You!" Zhang Hao understood. This was to block his own way.
"Hao'er!" Zhang Rong called out Zhang Hao first.
"Dad, he won't let us go out and fight!" Zhang Hao said anxiously at Zhang Rong.
Yan Song knelt there but couldn't get up, and then Ding Rukui also knelt down, and he didn't want Zhang Rong to fight.
"Okay, I understand. You all go out, Zhang Rong and his son stay!" Jiajing waved his hand at them and said.
At the moment, this is the only way to do it, but Jiajing was holding a breath in his stomach.
Although they were considering the Ming Dynasty, no one was considering the people outside the city, nor did anyone consider themselves.
"I'm going to leave!" Yan Song kowtowed and said.
The others kowtowed and then left the alchemy room.
Then Zhang Rong and Zhang Hao stood up and looked at Jiajing.
Jiajing didn't say anything, just closed his eyes.
"Did you hear it? They don't let you fight! The ministers of the Ming Dynasty don't let you fight!" Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Zhang Rong and said.
Zhang Rong immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground. Zhang Hao looked at his father without understanding. Why did he kneel down? He just came in and knelt once, so why did he keep kneeling?
"This is the minister around me! This is the minister of the Ming Dynasty!" Jiajing said very unhappy.
"I, I'm so embarrassed!" Zhang Rong said on the ground.
"At up, you didn't let me be ashamed!" Jiajing said to Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong stood up silently.
"Do you still want to fight?" Jiajing continued.
Zhang Rong nodded affirmatively and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, I am 50% sure to be able to kill one round and one from outside the city. As for how many Tatar soldiers can be killed, I don't know yet, but I want the Tatars to know that I, Ming Dynasty, and military generals, and my Ming soldiers dare to fight!" After that, I stood firmly there.
"Fifty percent sure? Zhang Rong, what should you do if you die in the battlefield? What should you do if the British Duke's Mansion?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Rong and said.
"I believe that the emperor can make arrangements!" Zhang Rong bowed and said again.
After hearing this, Jiajing stopped talking again. Zhang Hao was so anxious. He said this, why are he still silent? What's wrong with him? He always doesn't speak?
"Prince, please rest assured. I will escort my father back! I will definitely protect him from being in good condition!" Zhang Hao also bowed to Jiajing and said.
"You kid has been insisting on fighting!" After hearing this, Jiajing said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Hao.
"Emperor, Hao'er, although he is dementia, he has a lot of understanding of military affairs. I believe that he can become a general of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" Zhang Rong glanced at Zhang Hao kindly, and then said to Jiajing.
"Oh?" Jiajing was very surprised when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, he made the firecrackers and were extremely powerful. This time we had the confidence to go out to fight. Hao'er is also training those archers to throw firecrackers, including five people, two spearmen, one swordsman, these three with shields, and the other two archers, one of them threw grenades, and the other archers used bows and arrows, and at the same time, this combination is both far and near, attack and defense. Even if you can't kill a large number of enemies, you can protect yourself!" Zhang Rong introduced to Jiajing.
After hearing this, Jiajing was also surprised. This kid still understands this?
"Zhang Manzi, how do you understand this?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty, I'm not stupid!" Zhang Hao shouted to Jiajing at this moment, not stupid at first.
"Ha, this kid!" Jiajing was so happy when he heard this. The whole city of Peking knew that you were a fool, but you actually said you were not.
Then Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and sighed.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to fight out tonight!" Zhang Rong bowed to Jiajing again and said.
"I really want to go?" Jiajing said to Zhang Rong.
"Your Majesty, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so I should avenge my shame for the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Rong said firmly.
"Go tomorrow night!" Jiajing sighed, and then said, "I will add a sentence in my reply later, so that they will leave Peking City before dark tomorrow!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong said excitedly.
"Get up, I will give you an imperial edict later to avoid trouble when you are in trouble!" Jiajing said as he got off the Taoist platform and went to write an imperial edict.
Lu Fang was polishing the ink, and Lu Fang hadn't spoken yet, but he knew very well that Jiajing really hoped that the Ming army would be able to deal with the Tatars hard, even if they could not be defeated, they would still fight.
The Ming Dynasty cannot be so backboneless, but so many ministers opposed it, and the two cabinet ministers also opposed it. Jiajing had no choice. Now, those ministers are still needed.
Soon, Zhang Rong and his son took the imperial edict and left Yuxi Palace. After they got outside, Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Rong and asked:
"Dad, do you really dare to go?"
When Zhang Rong heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Hao.
"Dad, this time I went out, it's so bad. Are you still insisting on going?" Zhang Hao asked in confusion.
Although I also want to fight and help Zhang Rong, Zhang Hao still doesn't understand Zhang Rong so persistently wants to fight.
"Dad is the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty. If the British Duke encounters an enemy, it is to slander the ancestors! Hao'er, remember, my son of the British Duke's Mansion has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations and loyal to the Ming Emperor. He would rather die in the battlefield than let the Ming Dynasty and the emperor be humiliated!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao very solemnly.
Zhang Hao was frightened by Zhang Rong. Is there such a loyal person?
"Oncestor Zhang Yu followed Chengzu to fight the Jingnan battle, and his ancestor Zhang Fu followed Yingzong to die in the battle on the battlefield. My Duke's Mansion of England has never lacked backbone!" Zhang Rong continued to say to Zhang Hao.
"Yes, dad!" Zhang Hao nodded.
Then Zhang Rong walked in front and Zhang Hao followed behind.
Soon, he arrived at the military camp. Next, Zhang Rong had to stare at the soldiers in person and train, and Zhang Hao was assisting him.
As for going out to fight tomorrow night, Zhang Rong didn't tell anyone.
And on the other side of the palace, Yan Song had already drafted the letter and delivered it to Jiajing.
"Add to add one sentence, before tomorrow morning, leave the radius of 20 miles in Beiping!" After reading it, Jiajing handed it to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang took it and was about to hand it over to Yan Song.
"Your Majesty, is this a little shorter?" Yan Song said worriedly when he heard this.
"They are cavalry and fast. Since we are going to talk, let their troops withdraw. Why do we continue to rob the people outside the city?" Jiajing said in a bad tone.
"Yes, but now..." Yan Song wanted to say that it is the people surrounding us now, and his tone is strong. What if it causes displeasure to others, what should I do if it really fights?
"Why, aren't the royal army from all over the country coming? If it weren't for the consideration of the people outside the city, I would have sent him a reply?" Jiajing stared at Yan Song and said sternly.
"Yes, I will add it now!" Yan Song could only nod and knelt down and kowtowed out when he heard Jiajing say this.
Soon, only Jiajing and Lu Fang were left in the alchemy room.
"I have let my military down over the years!" Jiajing said in a sigh.
"Your Majesty, then let the British Duke rectify the military equipment in the capital!" Lu Fang immediately took over and spoke.
"Not enough, you can register me. I want to see when will the generals from all over the country send troops to Peiping?" Jiajing shook his head and said to Lu Fang.
"Yes!" Lu Fang nodded and said.
"Have the memorial sent by the cabinet been approved?" Jiajing continued to ask.
"When you go back to the emperor, there is no memorial. It's just that some civil officials said that the siege was attacking each other, and there was no good way!" Lu Fang bowed and said.
"Hmph!" Jiajing snorted.
In the afternoon, in the camp outside Tatar City, Huang Taiji, the eldest prince of Altan Khan, sat there, holding the letter brought back by Yang Zeng, and looked carefully.
