The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

"Eight hundred miles is urgent, give way to pedestrians!"

"Eight hundred miles is urgent, give way to pedestrians!"

Another group of soldiers with yellow flags hanging from their waists rushed into the city of Beijing, causing a panic.

Since last night, this has been the No. 3 messenger entering the city. Such frequent military intelligence reports have caused a lot of discussion among the people.

Some people say that the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north is causing trouble on the border again.

Some people also said that there was another gangster who made trouble against the third prince Zhu.

Of course, the most discussed issue is whether the Ming army has already crossed the Yangtze River.

But no matter what the people think, the Qing court has no intention of taking care of it at this moment.

Because the cavalry not only sent back the news of the fall of Tianjin, but also the number of Ming army landing troops.

A full 30 troops!

Manqing's spies continued to perform normally, once again adding a little more strength to the Ming army...

"An army of 30 people! An army of 30 people! How should we deal with this matter, dear ministers?" (Both the prince and the supervisor can be called dear ministers)

Yin Reng, who was "both civil and military" in the Jinluan Hall, could no longer calm down. He paced left and right, looking at the ministers below in panic, hoping to get some solutions from these people.

But it’s okay to let these drunken people make money, but want them to make military suggestions?

Principal Chang, the master of micro management, can beat them all.

For a moment, the hall went cold.

In fact, last night when Yin Reng urgently convened the ministers, he had already discussed the countermeasures to deal with the Ming army.

That is, they harassed the Ming army along the way to buy time to gather their troops and return to defend the capital.

At that time, everyone believed that the main force of the Ming Army was still south of the Yangtze River. The number of troops landing at Dagukou should not be too large. As long as enough time is given for them to gather their forces, the three 10,000+ Eight Banners in the Zhili area It shouldn't be a big problem for the elite to deal with these Ming troops.

But no one expected that the Ming army would be so large!

Yinreng panicked, and so did the ministers.

"Your Highness, how about we go to Shengjing to escape the summer heat?"

Ji Ertabu, Minister of War, put forward his own opinions.

Giltab was speaking while kneeling on the ground. He did not raise his head, but he still felt that as soon as he spoke his words, countless eyes fell on him.

To escape the heat?God damn escape from the heat!

Affected by the Little Ice Age, the global temperature dropped by an average of 1 degree, and the land temperature dropped by 3-5 degrees. Although it is only the end of August, the highest daytime temperature in Beijing is only 20 degrees Celsius, which is basically indifferent to heat.

They say they are escaping the heat, but in fact they are abandoning the city and fleeing!

"Ji Shangshu, your Ministry of War has spent countless money on food and salary. Since the establishment of the Eight Banners New Army, you have to give guns to guns and money to give money. Now that the Ming bandits are attacking, you don't want to kill the enemy and serve the country but instigate His Highness to flee north! What are your intentions!" (So ​​what is Giltab’s last name?)

Academician Doolittle jumped out and said indignantly.

To be honest, when Giltab said he was going to Shengjing to escape the summer heat, Yinreng was moved.

Originally, he had already planned to accept Giltab's suggestion half-heartedly, but Doolittle jumped out.

A good summer vacation on the Northern Patrol was turned into a runaway by this old guy!

How could he go out to escape the heat?

Yinreng glanced at Dolittle fiercely.

This old guy with no eyesight will get out of here as soon as he ascends the throne.

"Ahem, Ji Aiqing, let's put aside the matter of the northern tour to Shengjing to escape the summer heat. For now, let's discuss how to deal with this intruding bandit."

Doolittle's speech finalized the decision to go north to Shengjing. Even Yinreng did not dare to get the reputation of abandoning the city easily at this time, so the matter could only be abandoned temporarily.

At this time, all the ministers also packed up their quails.

Of course, there are exceptions among the crowd, such as the manly and clear-minded Bachelor Du Da.

At this moment, he looked at his colleagues who were pretending to be quail, with a sad expression on their faces.

With such a group of insects serving as officials in the same court, how can we eliminate the Ming bandits! ! !How to govern the country well! ! !

"Your Highness, the fierceness of the Ming bandits only relies on sharp firearms. Now the Eight Banners' new army is also equipped with new guns and artillery. There are 30 Ming bandits, and our imperial army is also more than 30.

The Ming bandits would inevitably be short of men and horses if they attacked thousands of miles, and the artillery was heavy and difficult to transport for long-distance operations. What's more, the Ming bandits had to maintain lengthy logistics supply lines.

On the other hand, our imperial army is not only waiting for work, but also has advantages in logistics supplies, soldiers and armaments!

With such a favorable time, place, and people, this battle is the best opportunity for our Qing Dynasty to inflict heavy losses on the Ming bandits! "

Academician Du's sonorous and powerful words echoed in the hall, making everyone stunned.

Does my imperial army have such a great advantage?

Although it always feels like something is wrong, it does sound reasonable!

"Master Du, there are 2 troops stationed in Tianjin, but they did not stop the attack of the Ming bandits."

Someone expressed concern.

Doolittle glanced at the man and said slowly.

"Although there are 10 troops stationed in Tianjin, the Ming bandits who attacked Tianjin had a '[-] army', and the Ming bandits attacked suddenly, so it is reasonable even if the city is destroyed."

"But now we can make arrangements in advance. It has become impossible for the Ming bandits to launch another raid."

Well, in order to escape punishment, the Eight Banners New Army who abandoned the city and fled Tianjin also increased the number of Ming troops attacking the city a little bit...

The official didn't say anything. At the same time, many people really regained some confidence after being encouraged by Master Du.

Otherwise, just pass away?

The imperial army has such excellent soldiers, even if they are defeated, there should be no problem in holding on.

Yinreng was also moved by this well-founded argument.

Although the old man Doolittle is annoying, he can still be useful sometimes.

"Du Aiqing, since you are fully confident, I will leave it to you to deal with the Ming bandits' army."

Adhering to the principle of using it to death if it can be used, Yinreng directly threw the burden of fighting against the Ming bandits on Dolittle.

If we win, then everything is easy to say.

If we don't win, then we should settle the matter together for your old man's grievance for not letting me patrol the north.

……

It has never been uncommon for literati to lead troops. In the past, there were Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty, and later there were Wang Shouren, Yuan Chonghuan, and Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Qing Dynasty has not yet seen the phenomenon of large-scale literati leading troops, it is only a matter of time.

None of the ministers had the slightest objection to Yinreng's decision.

Their idea is simple. Since someone is willing to take the lead, this troublesome matter has nothing to do with them.

In order to make it easier for Doolittle to lead the army, in addition to retaining his original position as a bachelor of Baohe Palace, Yinreng also gave Doolittle a temporary official position as a general under direct control. At the same time, he was granted the post of Taifu to control the troops stationed in various places under direct control.

The general is temporary and the tutor is imaginary, but Doolittle, who claims to be the backbone of the Qing Dynasty and the pillar of the country, took over this responsibility without hesitation.

Finally, he glanced at all the ministers with contemptuous eyes.

"A group of insects, let's see how I can turn the tide, annihilate the Ming bandits, and re-establish the great power of the Qing Dynasty!"
