Since the secret conversation with Sun Chengzong and others in the restaurant, Emperor Tianqi seemed to have changed.He must exercise in the back garden every day and handle court affairs in person.Even in the early court, he was much more diligent than before. His change rekindled hope for some veteran officials who had finally achieved Ming Dynasty.

On June [-]th of the fifth year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi held a court meeting.He intends to bring up the matter that he wants to conquer Liaodong in person at this court meeting.

At the court meeting, Grand Duke Wei waved the fly in his hand and stood in front of all the officials, saying: "The emperor's order is that the emperor will personally go to Liaodong in July. All ministers need to work together and work together with me."

After the edict was read out, all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony exploded.

A member of the household department immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. The border is dangerous. Your majesty has a body of gold. How can you go to the border in person."

Another Minister of the Ministry of Industry came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know which villain has slandered you. But your Majesty must not take risks at the border!"

An oracle was issued, and as many as a dozen ministers came out to oppose it.

Gao Di, who was already the minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think. Your Majesty has the intention of rejuvenating our Ming Dynasty, and learned from the ancestor Yongle to drive in person. Therefore, I agree."

As soon as Gaodi finished speaking, the Duke of England also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with you. Your Majesty has the posture of Yongle and Xuanzong, and the imperial conquest will surely return to the court victorious."

As soon as Gao Di and the British Duke finished talking, a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up and played: "My minister impeached Gaodi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and instigated your majesty to risk the border crossing yourself. Minister, please dismiss Gaodi."

Five censors in a row came out to impeach Gaudi and the Duke of England, and the various reasons they said were simply far-fetched.It seems that if they object, they are loyal officials of the court, and those who express their support are treacherous officials who slander.

Emperor Tianqi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had endured it for a long time. He slapped the table and said, "Enough, you deceive me into thinking that you can only do carpentry, right? You said that the border is dangerous. Don't lie to me, thinking that I don't know. Still What are you talking about now that the world is peaceful and the barbarians are overwhelmed. What about Liaodong? How do you say it?"

"Don't think that after several victories in Liaodong, you can say that the world is peaceful. I will tell you. The matter of Yujia's personal conquest is settled like this. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be dismissed from office."

As soon as Emperor Tianqi's words fell, a censor played on the hard top: "Your Majesty must not do it. If your majesty really wants to go to the imperial conquest and refuse to listen to the advice of the ministers, the minister is willing to crash into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and remonstrate with your majesty. .”

When the censor said this, seven other officials immediately knelt down and agreed.

Emperor Tianqi looked at them coldly and said: "Oh, this is going to force me to change my mind again, right? Well, you don't have to crash to death in this Hall of Supreme Harmony."

"Come here, pull them all down, and kill them with a stick."

Following the order of Emperor Tianqi, thirty Jinyiwei generals who had been waiting outside the hall entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and dragged the ministers who were kneeling on the ground out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one.

The execution was completed in less than a quarter of an hour, and the eight officials followed the instructions of Emperor Tianqi and were directly killed at the Taihe Gate.

When Emperor Tianqi saw that the execution was over, he decreed: "Retire from the court, and all the ministers and workers should go back and prepare."

It can be said that this was the first time that many ministers saw Emperor Tianqi burst into such a great anger and killed eight officials with a stick.It seems that the matter of the royal conquest is a certainty.

Three days after the incident, the court officials got the news.Ji Liao governor Sun Chengzong and Ji Liao commander Ma Shilong led [-] Liaodong new troops into the pass.

Under the leadership of Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong, the [-] volunteer guards, the [-] Guangning guards, and the [-] Ningyuan guards came out of Shanhaiguan and reached the boundary of Yongping Prefecture.

Obviously, Sun Chengzong and the others led the troops into the pass.They came here to support Emperor Tianqi, and the Liaodong New Army is the elite of the nine armies.Equipped with new firearms, so to speak.The current Ming Dynasty can no longer find any team that can compete with the Liaodong New Army, and no one can stop the Emperor Apocalypse's personal conquest.

Sun Chengzong led the Liaodong new army, and stopped all the way after reaching Tongzhou.They will wait here for His Majesty's holy car to arrive, and then set off for Liaodong together.

Although it is known that things cannot be done, there are still some high-ranking officials who play to persuade Emperor Tianqi.Regarding these memorials, Emperor Tianqi ignored them all, and took them all to the imperial kitchen to light a fire.

Emperor Tianqi has even been hiding in the harem doing carpentry work, and no longer sees any ministers.He just sent Grand Duke Wei to supervise all the preparations for the expedition.

On July [-]nd of the fifth year of Tianqi, the imperial driver of Emperor Tianqi left the capital.Escorted by [-] Jingying soldiers, [-] Jinyiwei, and [-] Dongchang Fanzi, they went to Tongzhou to join the Liaodong New Army there.
Lin Yuhao and the British government are not just a simple business cooperation, the British government Zhang Weixian has already obtained the new army training method written by Lin Yuhao.And began to select elite soldiers in the Beijing camp for training. This time, the three thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp who accompanied the Emperor Tianqi to the expedition.That is, one-third of the current elite soldiers in the Beijing camp have strokes, and two-thirds are still staying in the capital to continue training.

The money for training these soldiers was partly allocated by the imperial court, and partly used for the dividends due to Lin Yuhao in business. The weapons and equipment were also provided by Lin Yuhao and Sun Yuanhua: stainless steel pulley bow, fine steel pulley crossbow, imitation thunder rifle and apocalypse Three-year Thunderbolt.

In May of the fifth year of Tianqi, Sun Yuanhua successfully imitated Lin Yuhao's Thunder Rifle.According to the assembly line method mentioned by Lin Yuhao, 270 imitation Thunder rifles can now be produced every five days.

Although it is an imitation, the imitation Thunder rifle is far worse than the original Thunder rifle.Even during the imitation process, Lin Yuhao also provided help.

The imitation Thunder rifle weighs [-] jin, which is [-] jin heavier than the original version.The barrel life is only [-] rounds, which is far worse than the original [-] rounds.In addition, the paper-cased Minie bullets were used instead of the copper-cased pointed bullets provided by Lin Yuhao.

It can be said that the imitation Thunder rifle is the poor man's version of the genuine Thunder rifle.

Although it is not as easy to use as the original version, after testing, it can hit the target at the position of 260 steps.This result is still very good, and it is already a qualitative leap from the effective striking distance of the Lumi blunderbuss in the hands of the Ming army, which is only [-] steps.

The new army of the Beijing camp is now equipped with [-] imitation thunder rifles.Five hundred rounds of paper-cased Minis were issued to each rifle, and another two hundred rounds were used for training purposes.

These guns are strictly controlled, and no single shot or bullet is allowed to flow out of Daming.For this reason, there are many Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans in the border area.Strictly investigate the possible smuggling of bullets. Once found, the culprit will be killed on the spot, and the rest of the collaborators will raid their homes and exterminate the three clans.

Perhaps the methods of the Donglin Party members and the Shanxi merchants were sufficiently varied, but the new Beijing camp all selected people trusted by the British government to serve as generals, and the soldiers were paid in full.

Naturally, no one is willing to resell arms and do the kind of thing that is ransacked and exterminated.

On July [-]th of the fifth year of Tianqi, the team from the capital came to Tongzhou.Join the Liaodong new army stationed here, and set off for Liaodong on the sixth day.

Although Emperor Tianqi's imperial conquest could not be prevented, it did not mean that the Donglin Party members had no other options.Some of them have already colluded with Jiannu secretly, and they betrayed the news of Emperor Tianqi's imperial conquest to Jianu.

What they thought was very simple, Emperor Tianqi would either defeat Liaodong.Either encounter the Tumubao Change like Ming Yingzong, and then be captured by Jiannu.

In this way, the Donglin Party members can take the opportunity to seize power and support a new king to succeed him.They have already made plans to let the still young King Xin take over the position of the new monarch and become the new emperor of Ming Dynasty.

But what they didn't know was that it was because of Emperor Tianqi's personal conquest and the tipping off of them, Donglin Party officials.The Ningyuan War that originally took place in the sixth year of Tianqi became the Guangningwei War, and the Jiannu raid on Juehua Island also happened ahead of schedule.Not to mention, in the following eight years of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi once again led a personal conquest and beat Jiannu back to their lair of Hetuala.
