The eldest son of the red mansion

"Just now, Lord Lei Yinglei, Minister of the Ministry of War, sent an urgent memorial to the border. It seems to be from Gubeikou. It is said that the Tatars have gathered tens of thousands of people at Gubei Port. It seems that this year they will go south again. The goal I suspect it's still near the capital."

As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, the two people turned pale with shock. A few years ago, the Tatars had such a time, and that time was really upside down.

At that time, the Tatars invaded, which not only caused heavy losses to the capital, but more importantly, the deposed prince seized the opportunity and almost threw the emperor off his horse.

Liu Yu had already read the memorial carefully at this time, "What I mean is to quickly gather troops and horses to go to Gubeikou to resist the enemy. It is best to defeat them on the grassland, so as to prevent the people of our dynasty from losing court turmoil."

As soon as Liu Yu finished his opinion, Lei Ying couldn't wait to agree, "I think Master Liu said that if we solve it immediately, it will be difficult to deal with it when the Tatars enter our Central Plains."

At this moment, Meng Ming, the dean of the Imperial Academy, quietly glanced at Jia Ke, then bowed his head in a state of thought, without expressing any opinion.

Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, thought for a while, "I don't have much experience in military affairs. I think this kind of thing should be left to Mr. Jia. After all, he has been on the battlefield for so long that we civilian officials can't match."

Lei Ying and Liu Yu glanced at each other, and felt that Sun Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was right under normal circumstances, but this time Jia Ke couldn't let Jia Ke make the decision anyway.

Liu Yu immediately retorted: "What we're discussing here is not about arranging troops, attacking, killing and defending, but about a grand strategy. I don't think Mr. Jia has experienced it before. Let's discuss this matter."

Jia Ke just smiled and didn't say anything.Now the information is just a memorial, and he is not as good as the specific number of troops sent by the Tatars. There is no need to argue about these now.

Let's talk about the strangeness of the 800-mile rush. It is said that tens of thousands of Tatars are going to go south, but with so many people, how much food and grass will be consumed, how can the Tatars hold on with their national strength? It is doubtful. There are many places.

Seeing that no one opened their mouths, Liu Yu continued, "For the sake of the safety of the people in the Central Plains, we should immediately gather troops and go northward to fight the Tatars to the death."

Jia Ke thought for a while and felt that he should say a few words by himself, otherwise, these people have already forgotten who is in charge of this military aircraft department.

"I think it's better to lure the enemy to go deep. As long as they attack from Xuanfu Town and Liaodong, and there are troops from the capital, even if he comes with 60 or [-] yuan, he will suffer heavy losses at the foot of the capital. I can't recover from within."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying immediately became unhappy, "Master Jia, you mean to let the Tatars ravage millions of people around the capital? If this is the case, what do you want us officials from the court to do?" ?”

Jia Ke was also annoyed when he heard Lei Ying's rude words, and he slapped the table fiercely, "Where is this place? There's no room for you to speak. You still don't want to leave."

When Lei Ying heard Jia Ke's reprimand, she almost fainted. This Jia Ke was still a child, but he dared to reprimand him at the military plane because he had previously bewitched the Supreme Emperor to control the court.

But he wanted to refute, but there was no reason. What Jia Ke said was indeed polite. He is no longer the Minister of Military Aircraft. When discussing topics in the Military Aircraft Department, he can at most listen by the side. There is no room for interjection. When the Minister of Military Aircraft needs him, he is there. Supplements are given from the side, and when you don't need it, you can only keep your mouth shut and listen to it.This is the difference between the Minister of Military Aircraft and ordinary ministers.

Chapter 476 Disputes

After Jia Ke reprimanded Lei Ying, she came back to her senses and said to the other ministers of military aircraft: "This matter is no small matter, I think it is better to lure the enemy to go deep. After all, we are not familiar with the terrain on the grassland, and the grassland is too wide to be cavalry, and our army is indeed inferior to the Tatars when it comes to cavalry."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Meng Ming, head of the Imperial Academy, and Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, nodded.After all, Jia Ke did have the right to speak in this regard, and they knew that it was too difficult to fight the Tatars on the grassland even though they had not been through the war.

Seeing that everyone else had agreed with Jia Ke's opinion, Liu Yu was a little anxious, so he winked at Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment next to him.

Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, and immediately began to respond to Liu Yu, "I think Mr. Jia's words are a bit wrong. Even on the grassland, we can't beat him, but Shou can defend him." A few months. At that time, the Tatars will run out of food, and he can't think of retreating. If it is according to Mr. Jia's words, then the people near our capital will almost be wiped out by them. I think it is still the enemy and the country. Other than that."

"That's right, what Master Sun said is exactly the truth. In this way, the Tatars can retreat and the people of the Central Plains will not be disturbed. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Why put the other party in our hinterland?" Liu Yu said. He stared at Jia Ke and said, as if Jia Ke was a peerless treacherous minister.

Jia Ke saw that the two of them opposed his opinions and didn't say any more. In fact, what others said was also reasonable. If they take the initiative to fight cautiously, they can also ensure that the people of the Central Plains will not be disturbed.

But in Jia Ke's view, this is completely passive defense. It is better to lead the opponent into his hinterland, and then surround and annihilate the capital from all sides.

Since Jia Ke had such a dispute, there would be no result. Since they wanted to keep the enemy away from the country, they could just do as they said.

When the Tatars come to invade again in a few years, I have already grasped the real power, and I will not let myself do it by then.

"Since the two adults said so, then I have nothing to say. Let's report to the emperor at the East Nuan Pavilion together." After Jia Ke finished speaking, she walked out of the Military Aircraft Department that day and headed for the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Several other people also followed behind Jia Ke, while Lei Ying and Liu Yu glanced at each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, saw their little movements below, but he pretended not to see them, and continued to follow Jia Ke with his head down.

And old Meng Ming walked leisurely at the end, as if these things had nothing to do with him.Now Meng Ming adheres to the principle that more things are worse than less things. As long as it is a matter of principle, he will not say a word. If Jia Ke really asks him to express his opinion, he will follow Jia Ke's words.

When everyone came to Dongnuange, the emperor had not come to work.During this period of time, as Jia Ke began to strengthen his control over the Military Aircraft Department, there were fewer and fewer things the emperor could intervene in.

As a result, the emperor was not as diligent as before. He would only come to the East Nuan Pavilion every day at three poles in the sun to see if there were any important memorials, and he would go back to the inner palace after reading a few casually.

On the surface, it seems that he no longer cares about business matters. In fact, the emperor is more anxious than anyone else. After returning to the harem, he asked his subordinates to fetch the latest information and analyze it carefully. Besides, there are also situations in various places. To understand and even to be afraid that something went wrong in his country.

If the country is really unstable, even if Jia Ke is excluded from himself, it will not be good.

Jia Ke led everyone to wait in front of the Dongnuan Pavilion for almost an hour, but the emperor did not pass by the harem. Jia Ke became impatient and grabbed a young eunuch, "Hurry up and report to the emperor in the palace. , Please tell us that some of our ministers of military affairs and ministers of the Ministry of War have important military information to report to the emperor, so that the emperor should hurry to Dongnuange."

The little eunuch looked at Jia Ke a little speechless, the palace has always been strict rules, he is a little eunuch doing odd jobs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, how can he be qualified to go to the harem.If you make a wrong step, you will be beaten to death immediately.

"The servant kowtowed to Mr. Jia. It's because the slave doesn't want to pass the news. It's really because the harem is not a place for slaves to go." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, kept kowtow, and didn't say anything else. Look at him Like that, I'm about to knock myself out.

Liu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, "Master Jia, what's the point of waiting a little longer? Why do you make things difficult for this little eunuch. You know that once he enters, he might not survive."

Jia Ke said expressionlessly: "This is an urgent military situation. Let alone one or two eunuchs, even if they are all dead, the emperor has to come out to listen to our report."

When they were arguing there, they heard someone shouting incessantly from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, "Who has the guts to kill all the eunuchs in my palace?"

Looking back, Jia Ke and the others saw that the Emperor Zhijian had brought a group of eunuchs to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation from far to near.

A cold light flashed in Jia Ke's eyes, and he immediately calmed down, and then brought several people to the emperor, kneeling and kowtowing to him.

The emperor didn't let them get up, but still stood there condescendingly and said, "What's the big deal? We want our Lord Jia to kill all the eunuchs in the palace."

Jia Ke was a little speechless to the emperor's out of context, and now he could only refute: "Long Live Lord, there is an emergency military situation at the border, Long Live Lord, you are dying so late, I am really anxious, that's why I sent a little eunuch to report to the harem. , I didn’t expect the emperor to listen to the wrong words, it’s the minister’s fault, please forgive me.”

The emperor actually gave Jia Ke a slap in the face, so he nodded reluctantly, "Get up, everyone, let's talk in the hall if you have anything to say."

After the emperor finished speaking, he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation first.Jia Ke and the others dared to stand up after seeing the emperor entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation with light steps.

After Jia Ke and others entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had already sat firmly on the throne, and they stood firmly under the throne of the emperor.

"Tell me, what is the urgent military situation that makes our Master Jia so anxious?" The emperor still did not forget to taunt Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't say anything and waved to Lei Ying next to her, which meant that everyone should go up and report.

Seeing Jia Ke's gesture, Lei Ying stood up and said to the emperor: "Long Live Lord received a report from Gubeikou this morning, saying that the Tatars have gathered tens of 10 horses in the north. It seems that they want to invade again. .”

The emperor immediately stood up from one of the seats, startling Xia Shouzhong next to him, "It's the memorial, hurry up and bring it here."

Liu Yu quickly took the memorial and took a few steps forward, raising his hands above his head.Immediately a little eunuch came over, took the memorial, stepped back a few steps, turned around, and came to the emperor's vicinity in three steps at a time.

Xia Shouzhong took the memorial from the young eunuch before turning around and sending it to the emperor.

After the emperor received the memorial, he stood there and read it hastily.Then he said with a gloomy face, "What countermeasures do you have this time?"

Jia Ke stood up and said, "The ministers of the Military Aircraft Department have two ideas, and now they are at odds, and finally I will ask the emperor to make a decision."

The emperor didn't look at Jia Ke, but focused on Liu Yu.

Liu Yu hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what Master Jia means is to lure the enemy to go deep, and then gather the troops in Xuanfu Liaodong and the vicinity of the capital to wipe out the invading enemy in the future, so as to ensure that the enemy will not dare to invade in the next few years. "

After hearing this, the emperor was furious: "Nonsense, this way, the people in the capital will suffer. And the last time the Tatars invaded, the tomb of the former emperor had already been disturbed. Could it be that Jia Ke wants the Tatars You will be happy when you dig the late emperor's grave."
