Chapter 284

Although Zhu Qiyu had made some explanations just now, he heard something different. Since ancient times, the emperor issued a decree. Who cares about the identity of the messenger? When ordering a top-ranking official to do things, can't a small eunuch read the will?

Then why did Yang Chendong need grade equivalence to read the will when he came here? How can things be so simple?

This is clearly that the emperor knows that he is Yang Chendong's elder. This is to bully the small with the big. If so, if this job is not done well, it will not only lead to the emperor's anger, but also give the knife to others and hand the handle to others.

Knowing this, he has no other choice, which is what makes Hu worried and helpless. If you don't do it, it will lead to trouble. If you do it, Yang Chendong will bow his head, but will he bow his head? Even if he bowed his head because he was Hu's grandfather, was he so willing? Will you hate it?

Hu's face changed again and again. It can be said that he was worried. Of course, Yu Guang of Zhu Qiyu noticed, but he didn't pay attention. Who made you a loyal elder? Who made Zhongdan so bold to resist the order? If it's not difficult for you, you really don't know that imperial power is inviolable.

Looking at Hu Zhen's calm face, his eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that he was shocked, which also made Zhu Qiyu feel very good. That's what he looked like yesterday. Now it's finally passed on to others. How can he be unhappy. Unfortunately, such happiness only lasted less than half a cup of tea. The sudden sound of urgent news outside the hall made him turn his attention away.

"Report, hurry up for 800 Li." a Daming soldier with a word passing flag behind him rushed into the palace hall.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the herald can enter the temple to report things without asking the imperial edict. Therefore, when the Daming soldier rushed in bravely, he was not blocked by anyone, but just looked at him with surprised eyes.

Even if the herald appeared here and claimed that it was 800 Li urgent, something urgent must have happened. But there seems to be no information that something big is going to happen.

In the confused eyes of all the officials, even Zhu Qiyu, the herald knelt down on the hall and reported without raising his head, "Your Majesty, a large number of Japanese samurai suddenly appeared at Tianjin Weigang port. They suddenly appeared and dealt with the defense station. Soon before the villain came to report, thousands of soldiers were captured and countless military supplies were robbed. The other party was strong and powerful. Our general asked the emperor to send reinforcements quickly."

After that, Bing Yong knocked his head on the ground to express his anxious mood.

"What?"

"It's impossible."

Under the ministers, many people were confused.

These people are all those who received gifts from Kimura Yoshida, the Japanese ambassador. They know very well that not punishing Yang Chendong is just an excuse for the other party. As for whether they will really send troops? I'm afraid this person can't decide.

Even if you really want to send troops, it can't be so fast. Now the messenger still has the capital? How can Japan fight without declaration? What does he mean?

"What's impossible?" seeing the expression of disbelief on the faces of many ministers, Xu Youzhen, the personal left attendant of the Ministry of punishment, responded quickly and shouted: "Can't you see that this is probably a delaying tactic of the Japanese envoys? They have been in the capital of Ming Dynasty for some time. They know that we have just experienced several wars. It is when the military is weak, and they jump out at this time. It is clear that they want to make a bargain. It's hateful that we should be so credulous to him and have no defense at all."

While talking, Xu Youzhen shook her head in hatred, as if she was angry with her low alertness. But in fact, the Security Bureau informed him last night, that is to say, among the ministers, he was the only one who knew the truth.

As I said before, Xu Youzhen is a generation of power ministers in history. Those who can become power ministers are those who have skills and ambition.

Such people often make good use of it and become a sharp sword that can cut everything. But similarly, if they don't use it well, they may hurt themselves and hurt themselves.

In order to make good use of the sword, Yang Chendong deliberately informed him in advance, which was also used for deterrence, so that Xu Youzhen could know his strength, but he couldn't see it clearly. In this way, he didn't dare to disobey his orders and would do things for himself wholeheartedly.

This leads to the practice of Xu Youzhen suddenly jumping out and picking out the "truth".

When Xu Youzhen said this, he talked about the hearts of several ministers. They all nodded in agreement. It seemed that all this was really a delaying plan of the Japanese envoy.

"Japanese samurai? How many of them? How strong are they? When did it happen?" Jin Ying suddenly changed his face when he heard the news. But he also didn't believe that the Japanese would do it at this time. Because in his opinion, even if they wanted to do it, they had to wait until Yang Chendong was punished.

A feeling told him that there was something strange in this matter. But I couldn't think of any problem, so I asked. If the other party's troops were too small, would it be mercenaries? He didn't contact the cold front twice at a time. The other party's number was small, but its combat power was extraordinary. In addition, the Tianjin garrison had no defense. If he attacked unexpectedly, it would be dangerous It is very likely to succeed.

When someone asks a question, the herald will of course answer it. "If I returned to my father-in-law, it was the day before yesterday. There were many Japanese samurai. From a distance, it was like overwhelming. In addition, suddenly, my general had to fight and retreat. After being unable to reverse the situation, he ordered a small man to look for reinforcements."

The guard General of Tianjin Wei didn't come to the capital for help at the first time. What he reported was indeed the idea of fighting with the Japanese samurai, which delayed the military intelligence and sent the intelligence to the capital nearly a day in the evening.

"Overwhelming?" hearing this adjective, Jin Ying's face was even more ugly. Are you wrong? This is not what mercenaries do at all? If not, where do so many soldiers come from? If the number of mercenaries is really overwhelming, I'm afraid there will be no one to stop it.

Jin Ying's face changed greatly, and who among the other courtiers didn't look like that? Can it be said that Japan has really sent out an army to take advantage of the fire?

Of course, they do not know that on the battlefield, unless the two sides fight together or send information in advance, it is difficult to accurately see the actual strength of the other side. Just like this time, it was clearly the hands of mercenaries. Kaohsiung leader personally landed with 400 elite cold front Navy in Tianjin Wei, accompanied by 2000 auxiliary soldiers embedded in the city. In order to bluff, Kaohsiung deliberately issued many flags, so that from a distance, the whole port is full of high flags, which can easily give people the illusion that the army is pressing on the border.

No one thought that this was originally the method of blocking eyes laid by Yang Chendong. We only know that Tianjin Wei is not far from the capital. If we can't effectively prevent the other party from approaching, I'm afraid another capital defense war will start. At that time, we can know who wins and who loses.

"Come on, who is Aiqing willing to lead the troops?" Zhu Qiyu didn't want to have a defensive war. The last time he spent a lot of money, it already made him heartache. Now he hasn't calmed down, and there is an unknown war, which makes him angry. At the same time, he also focuses on those generals in the court, especially Shi Heng, the governor of Wuqing.

Shi Heng, as a general of the army, is also the commander in chief of the formation and training of the new army. His strength in the army is naturally superior to others.

But he has been on the battlefield many times, and he has few victories. At this moment, he is also beating the drum in his heart.

It's not the first time he has heard of the name of Japanese samurai. These are some outlaws, and they are brave and good at fighting. It's said that if you want to become a samurai, you have to choose in every way.

How certain will it be to win if such an army with strong combat power deals with it by itself?

Everything is easy to say when you win, but once you lose, will your position in the army be affected? His position is now strong enough. Does he still need to take a risk?

The answer, of course, is no longer needed. It's no good to win. If you lose, you'll lose your high position in front of you. Shaking his head, Shi Heng looked embarrassed at Zhu Qiyu sitting on the Dragon chair and knelt down in the tunnel: "emperor, the new army has just been established and has not undergone any training. At this time, it is afraid to lose more and win less!"

"This..." Zhu Qiyu wanted to denounce Shi Heng for something, but at the thought of what the other party said, if he really sent the untrained new army to the battlefield and suffered a big defeat, he was afraid it would directly threaten his throne.

"What should I do? Aiqing, do you have any other recommended candidates?" Zhu Qiyu turned his voice and looked at the adults instead of staring at Shi Heng, hoping they could come up with another result.

Even Shi Heng refused, which is enough to prove that things are difficult. Although some generals are ready to move after listening to it, they consider that once they are defeated, they will not only suffer for themselves, but also for their families. For a time, they can't help closing their mouth, lowering their head and becoming an ostrich.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Ministers, look at me and I look at you. They are speechless.
