Chapter 417
"King Yan ascended the throne for His Majesty Emperor Jingtai."

"When he asked about the strategy to deal with the enemy, I replied: The enemy has just won the battle and detained the Supreme Emperor. They must be arrogant and despise us. Please order the guards on the border to do their best to defend and contain..."

"The equipment of the soldiers in the Beijing camp is about to run out, and they need to recruit militiamen in different ways immediately, and order the Ministry of Industry to manufacture equipment and armor!"

"At the same time, it is necessary to send loyal and capable ministers to guard the nine gates of the capital."

"At the same time, the residents who migrated from the outer city into the city have to bring back as much food as possible from Tongzhou. They can't give it to the enemy, so they can fight a long-term war of attrition, which is not good for us!"

"People like Xuan Ni should be used as governors, guarding places, and handling affairs. Military officials like Yang Hong and Liu Bo should be used as generals, leading troops to resist the enemy."

Yu Qian slowed down, "Emperor Jingtai has seriously implemented all these conditions of mine."

"In October, the leader of Oara also held the Supreme Emperor to break through the Bauhinia Pass and enter the capital first!"

"I did not adopt General Shi Heng's suggestion, personally supervised the battle, set up the army among the nine gates, and directly confronted the Oirat army. I issued an order: regardless of the troops retreating first, kill the general. The sergeant ignores the leading retreat. The team beat the front team."

"So the soldiers fought the enemy bravely, and the commander-in-chief Gao Li and Mao Fushou even captured an Oirat leader in the north of Zhangyi Gate!"

Hearing Yu Qian's victory in the first battle, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Okay, don't be chaotic before the battle, be resolute and decisive, you are worthy of being a capable minister of my Ming Dynasty!"

"It's a pity that I can't reward you directly. A capable minister like you really wants to meet you in reality!"

Yu Qian thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his compliment, but he didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of talents under his command, but when he is under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, he will only lose sight of everyone.

"After knowing that I won the battle, His Majesty Jingtai was very happy. He asked me to gather elite soldiers in the teaching ground so that I could mobilize them to respond to the enemy at any time. He also ordered the eunuch Xing'an and Li Yongchang to supervise the army and manage military affairs."

"The victory of this battle has greatly stabilized the hearts of the people in the city and provided a more favorable foundation for my next struggle."

"Yexian thought that the capital could be captured easily, but now seeing that the capital is heavily defended, so under the instigation of the traitor Xining, he invited my Minister of the Ming Dynasty to welcome the Supreme Emperor, and asked for a large amount of gold and silk. He also invited me, Wang Zhi, and Hu Wait until you leave the city to negotiate!"

"First of all, we all know what the purpose is. Emperor Jingtai directly rejected this idea."

"Seeing that this strategy doesn't work, I started to spy on Deshengmen again soon after!"

"I ordered Shi Heng to lead the Shenji Battalion to set up an ambush in an empty house in the city, and then sent a few cavalry to lure the enemy. After the enemy approached, Fan Guang, the deputy commander, fired a gunpowder weapon as a signal, and all the ambush soldiers rushed out in an instant..."

"Yesian's younger brother Polo, Pingzhangmao was directly shot to death, and Yexian's troops were forced to transfer to Xizhimen, but here, he encountered the governor Sun Tong, and Shi Heng also chased him. The enemy once again panicked. retreat."

"Afterwards, at Zhangyimen, Wu Xing, the deputy commander, and Wang Jing, the governor, were encountered, and the striker was defeated!"

Speaking of which...

Yu Qian's originally excited face suddenly turned cold.

Seeing his face suddenly turned cold, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, so he asked, "Why is Aiqing's face suddenly cold?"

He guessed aloud: "Could it be that someone disobeyed the order and caused the overall situation to be destroyed? The result of the battle is on the verge of failure?"

Thinking of such a thing, Zhu Yuanzhang's face could not help but become grim.

If this is the case, those who disrupt the situation of the battle should be cut to death!

It's not enough to wash away their sins!
Yu Qian cupped his hands, "As you guessed, His Majesty Taizu."

"I saw that Yexian's troops were beaten to pieces by us, and they were repeatedly defeated. In order to grab credit, hundreds of eunuchs galloped and destroyed their positions, so that Wu Xing, the deputy commander, was shot to death by random arrows, causing the enemy to almost cross the soil. City, causing the gate of the capital to fall!"

"Fortunately, thanks to the timely arrival of reinforcements and the resistance of the people in the city, the enemy was repelled."

Hearing this...

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry, "You damned eunuchs, you deserve death!"

Yu Qian continued: "I also saw that the invitation to talk failed, and the battle failed again and again. After five days of stalemate, no progress was made, and he was afraid that King Qin's troops rushing from all over the country would cut off his return, so he hugged the Supreme Emperor from Liangxiang to the west. go!"

"Seeing that the enemy retreated, I decided to pursue the victory and lead the generals to pursue Juyongguan before returning!"

"Afterwards, I rejected Emperor Jingtai's reward. The enemy has not been completely wiped out. This is not the time to relax our vigilance. I asked to increase troops to guard Zhending, Baoding, Zhuo, Yizhou and other prefectures, and asked to use energy I guard Shanxi to prevent the enemy from invading from the south!"

heard...

The emperors including Tang Taizong couldn't help but praise: "You are not proud of the credit, you are really a famous minister!"

Yu Qian smiled, feeling great satisfaction in his heart, "In March of the first year of Emperor Jingtai, I asked to send troops to garrison Juyongguan. If the enemy bandits come, they will go out and kill them. If they don't come, they will be stationed in the capital. This suggestion has also been approved!"

"Soon, three people from the north of Datong general Xu Guizuo came to the town, wanting the imperial court to send envoys to make peace!"

"All of a sudden there was a quarrel in the court because of this incident, and Emperor Jingtai also became flustered, and he had no idea whether to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."

"I told the ministers that the hatred between us and Wala is too deep to satisfy their greed. If they open this hole, they will definitely get worse in the future."

"And, no matter whether we agree or not, it will cause us certain problems, so we cannot agree."

"Besides, we sent people to make peace before, but they invaded first, and then sent people back. They were sent back without seeing the Supreme Emperor, and they were not sincere at first. How can we trust him?"

"We can't take any chances. We must actively fight against the war and welcome back the Supreme Emperor with a military victory. Emperor Jingtai and the ministers agreed with my suggestion. Therefore, the border guards are determined to fight."

Zhu Yuanzhang approved of Yu Qian's actions very much.

"In August, the Supreme Emperor has been detained for a year, and I saw that there was nothing wrong with me, Ming Dynasty, and I couldn't gain an advantage in the military, so I wanted to negotiate a peace and end the war!"

"He kept sending envoys, and some ministers in the court proposed to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. Emperor Jingtai was very unhappy, worried that the return of the Supreme Emperor would deprive him of his throne and put him in danger."

"I said: Once the throne is established, there will be no further changes. It's just logical that the Supreme Emperor should be brought back as soon as possible. In case he really has some conspiracy, we can prepare for it!"

"So, the Supreme Emperor was brought back!"
