Chapter 294

"Long live the emperor." as soon as he knelt down, Yiming presented a memorial that his men had just handed to him. From beginning to end, he did not dare to look up at the emperor's face.

"Why does Yi Aiqing want to do this big gift? Straighten out quickly." Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, so that his attitude towards Yiming was much kinder than usual. But when he saw the other party kneeling down, he was still startled. The Ming Dynasty paid attention to governing the world with literati and officials. Unless they were guilty, there was no need to kneel down and worship when they met alone.

The eunuch manager Jin Ying, who also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, went down the steps, received the memorial sent by Yi Ming and transferred it to Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu, who took over the memorial, already had some changes in his face. "I don't know what Memorial made Yi Aiqing so anxious..." it seemed to cheer herself up. When I said this, the memorial was also opened, and then I saw a great change on the face of the young emperor Daizong.

The memorial wrote that more than 10000 wounded soldiers of the Ming army who should have returned to the capital the day before yesterday suddenly disappeared. They were all wounded on the way from the capital to Tianjin Wei. Originally, they returned to the capital from outside Langfang under the order of governor Shi Heng. However, there is no news until now. In order to confirm the news, the Ministry of war has sent five groups of fast horse scouts to look for it, but there is still no news, so it wrote a memorial and sent it to the Shangshu Yiming.

After Yiming got this conclusion, where dare he neglect it, he hurriedly went into the palace to meet the saint. At this time, his head was very low. He knew what this meant, how bad the situation would be, how heavy his dereliction of duty was, and how dare he look up at Zhu Qiyu's eyes at this moment.

"Pa!" the memorials flew down from Jinluan hall and hit Yiming's head. Then Zhu Qiyu roared, "what's the matter? More than 10000 wounded people, even 10000 pigs, can't be so silent? Give me an explanation."

Zhu Qiyu's temper has always been good, and he seldom loses his temper in front of his ministers. But now, he has to get angry. If the memorial is true, it is likely that the Japanese army has not disappeared, but should have been close to the capital. In other words, the second capital defense war is likely to start.

His head was very low, and he scolded Shi Heng from head to foot. If it were not for this person's great achievements, the military department would not be careless. Now, nearly ten thousand wounded disappeared out of thin air. The blame fell on the army and on themselves.

Listening to the emperor's question, Yiming wanted to look up and say something several times, but he didn't speak in the end. He has no way to explain such a thing. A forced excuse will only make the emperor's anger more victorious.

"Find! Spread out all the people for me. We must find these wounded soldiers. In addition... Inform the military and Horse Department of the five cities to guard against the gate of the capital in order to prevent accidents." Zhu Qiyu said and closed his eyes. He had a bad hunch that the so-called Shi Heng Dasheng might not be so real. He was likely to be fooled.

Like an amnesty, Yiming repeatedly promised, and then climbed down and withdrew from the hall. After he left the palace, the whole Scout camp of the military headquarters was busy, but all the scouts at home who could move were scattered out.

Not only the military headquarters, Yiming also ordered Jin Ying to ask the royal guards and East Hall spies to go out to find people. These people are best at finding clues from clues.

At present, the people of the military headquarters, East Hall and royal guards are busy. With the joint efforts of the three parties, a new discovery was made in the afternoon. Hundreds of bodies burned by the Ming army were found in a low-lying land next to the official road in the direction of the capital to Langfang. It was confirmed that it should be under governor Shiheng. They escorted more than 300 Japanese "prisoners of war" back to the capital to offer prisoners, but unexpectedly, some people died here.

Needless to say, Yang Chendong sent someone to do it.

His purpose this time is not only to create tension before the war, but also to consolidate his position and influence. At the same time, we should also take the opportunity to provoke a war between Daming and Japan.

Under the influence of Daming's common behavior and their belief in Confucianism, it would be more difficult for them to take the initiative to fight than to ascend to heaven. Yang Chendong's ambition is to let the Han people all over the world stand at the peak of the world and let the Han people all over the world get the greatest respect and dignity. Naturally, Japan, which is very close, has long been drawn in the sketch of war.

I just really want to wait until the cold front takes shape and has enough people and huge combat effectiveness. I don't know how long it will take. Yang Chendong, who has always thought of seizing the day, thought of this method. He first tried to explore the country of Japan to see what strength they have. At the same time, he just weakened their strength and laid a solid foundation for future expedition.

In order to achieve this goal, more than 300 Japanese businessmen and people stationed in Daming must release a group and let them return to Japan to publicize things. Naturally, these people will not be allowed to become so-called prisoners of war and return to the capital of Daming.

This is the battle of robbery and interception. Originally thinking of winning the war without blood, the most is to let some Ming troops suffer minor injuries and temporarily lose their combat power, that is. Unexpectedly, some of the Ming troops in charge of the escort were Shi Heng's own soldiers. They dared to fight to the death. Helpless, Kaohsiung took the heart to kill and dealt with all its diehards here. In the case of modern firearms attack, the so-called elite and personal soldiers are no different from paper paste.

After cleaning up the war and inserting bows and arrows into the holes of his original body, he was unwilling to light another fire. After he was destroyed, Kaohsiung ordered people to send these people of Japan to the sea and told them that this time it was mercenaries who helped them.

Kaohsiung will not miss such an opportunity when it should show goodwill, so it will be much easier to accept Japanese warships in the future.

After the scene was discovered, the news quickly flew back to the capital. At the moment, due to the reason of Yang Bao, ordinary people also know the news of the victory in front of governor Shiheng. They are talking happily and looking happy. Suddenly, the twelve gates of the capital were closed in advance, claiming that Japanese spies had entered the capital and needed to be rounded up.

However, the following large-scale siege did not appear. On the contrary, there were many Ming troops under the city wall, and the soldiers of the five City Corps and horses could be seen everywhere in the streets of the city.

The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense. All this came from Zhu Qiyu's imperial order. After learning that the Japanese prisoners of war were indeed robbed, Zhu Qiyu, who had been worried since he became emperor, ordered to step up the urban defense of the capital. At the same time, he also ordered a quick horse out of the city and informed governor Shi Heng that once the situation of Tianjin Wei was stable, he should quickly return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation.

Shi Heng is the governor of the army. He is in charge of the army. He is also a veteran. Zhu Qiyu is really worried if he doesn't come back to guard.

The fast horse galloped all the way. It took one night and came to Tianjin Wei early the next morning. At this time, Shi Heng's army was making breakfast and it was not time to fire. The governor saw the herald sent by the Military Ministry.

"What? There are remnants of the Japanese army, which may endanger the safety of the capital?" Shi Heng just put on a coat and came to the main hall. He was so surprised by the news.

"Yes, governor. This is the emperor's will." the herald nodded and agreed. At the same time, he took out an imperial decree from his arms and respectfully sent it to Shi Heng.

This is not an imperial edict, but it is a letter written by Zhu Qiyu. It is written with the urgent words that the capital is in danger and Wangdu governor will return to the capital to preside over the overall situation of urban defense.

The urgency of tone and the sincerity of language have shaped Shi Heng into a national pillar like existence.

Shi Heng was very excited when he looked at the secret letter from the emperor's confidant. This is the emperor's trust and reliance. He didn't blame himself for making some mistakes. His words are so sincere. How can he not do his best. That is, what I didn't say is, of course, to return to the capital immediately. As for the defense of Tianjin Wei, don't say that it seems stable here. Even if there is still instability, he can't care so much. Where is more important than the emperor's trust? Now he just wants to put on his wings and fly back.

In this eagerness, Shi Heng ordered the whole army to have breakfast quickly. Half an hour later, the army gathered, leaving 2000 people to guard the Tianjin guard, and the other troops returned to the capital to serve the king with themselves.

The order was given before breakfast was ready. The kitchen leaders quickly increased their firepower and dealt with the meal. Even so, many soldiers still didn't have enough to eat. After only dealing with two people, they set out on the road. Yu Tianwei went straight to the capital and returned.

Shi Heng was eager and wanted to show his loyalty by this matter in order to get more trust from emperor Daizong. But he ignored one thing, that is, safety along the way.

In other words, more than 10000 "Japanese troops" have walked on Tianjin port, which makes Shi Heng relax his vigilance and think that even if there are residual enemies, there will not be too many. This is all the way, only considering the speed of the March, while ignoring the due team formation and defense.

In order to let Zhu Qiyu see his loyalty, Shi Heng took 3000 cavalry one step ahead, left the army far behind and went straight to the capital. He also thought that after receiving the war report in the morning, he could enter the capital in the afternoon. How happy the emperor would be. Under the great joy of Long Yan, everything he paid was worth it.
