The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Your Majesty, Duke Baoguo is far away in southern Zhili. It will take ten days at the earliest to summon him to the capital. Ten days will be enough for the Tatars to attack Gansu and Ningxia," Yan Chengjin said.

Fighter planes are the most important. Losing them for ten days is enough to lose two cities.

There is also a firearms bureau in Ningxia that specializes in supervising the creation of Hongyi generals. If it falls into the hands of the Tatars, the consequences will be serious.

"You are worrying too much. At present, the Tatars have only broken through Yansui and have not occupied Yansui. The strength of the three sides is enough to resist for some time." Qin Hong said lightly.

Emperor Hongzhi also believed it.

The total strength of the three sides is more than hundreds of thousands. They are not afraid of a battle with the Tatars. It is not that easy to break through in a short time.

"Your Majesty, why don't you order the whole army of the Beijing camp to attack, with Duke Ying taking charge of the left road, Bo An Ding taking charge of the middle road, and Duke Bao Guo taking charge of the right road, pushing the Hetao flat?" Yan Chengjin said.

In this way, Dayan Khan will definitely have nothing to hide and will be beaten wherever he goes.

Emperor Hongzhi slapped his face hard.

A nationwide effort to attack the Tatars? As you can imagine, the Beijing camp plus the Xuanfu frontier troops must have more than 200,000 troops, right?

Just spending money can bring down the court.

Li Dongyang secretly spat at Yan Chengjin. The scale of the more than 200,000 troops dispatched was only comparable to the Tumubao battle during the Yingzong period.

Yingzong led an army of more than 300,000 people to attack Wala.

As a result, the 300,000-strong army was defeated until no one was left, and Yingzong himself was captured by Wala, which shows that a large-scale army attack was restrained.

The speed is not as flexible as that of the captives, and the longer it takes, the more waste the court has to allocate, and it may even reach the point of running out of food.

"There is no need to say more in the Yanqing family. Please pass on my decree and summon Duke Bao to go north!" Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and Xiao Jing hurriedly went to the clerk's room to draft the decree.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others nodded happily.

Duke Bao Guo was different from Anding Bo. He was a military general and had experienced hundreds of battles. He was the most suitable general besides Wang Yue.

It's a pity that Wang Yue is old, otherwise he could be sent to defend the enemy.

Hearing Wang Yue's reputation, I'm afraid even Dayan Khan would shy away.

To conquer the enemy without fighting.

What they would like to see most is to drive the Tatars out of the Hetao without spending a single soldier.

Among the many generals of the Ming Dynasty, only Wang Yue had such a deterrent. After writing the book, this man seemed not to care about the court's political affairs at all.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Hongzhi had made up his mind, and for the sake of caution, he could only give advice after Zhu Hui was defeated by Dayan Khan.

I hope Zhu Hui will not be tortured too badly by Dayan Khan.

After General Hongyi, Dayan Khan's combat effectiveness was incomparable.

But, I wonder how many Hongyi generals he snatched?

At first, he equipped his father with more than a dozen red barbarian generals.

However, only three gates were allocated to the other important towns on the nine sides, and Dayan Khan would not have more than three firearms.

Coming out of Dongnuan Pavilion,

Qin Hong stopped Yan Chengjin and asked with a narrow face: "I heard that you are still the supervisor of the Beijing camp?"

"This is a temporary position. I have not been supervising the army for a long time." Yan Chengjin was very honest.

Qin Hong looked at this guy carefully. He was a scholar with an ordinary face, but he didn't look masculine.

Is it this kind of person who caused panic in the capital a while ago and killed more than a dozen families?

"Are you good at martial arts?"

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "No."

"Ever been in a war?"

"No."

"It's really unremarkable."

Qin Hong really couldn't understand why His Majesty would use such a person as a supervisor.

If you look closely, Yan Chengjin is just a weak scholar.

"In the future, in the court, please don't comment on the affairs of the Ministry of War. I don't care about the affairs of the Inspectorate." Qin Hong said and left.

Zhu Houzhao saw Yan Chengjin being thrown into disgrace, and came up and asked with a smile: "Old Gao, I heard that the Tatars invaded the Hetao?"

"Why did your highness come to Dongnuan Pavilion? Aren't you afraid that your majesty will beat you?" Yan Chengjin said nonchalantly.

Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows were dancing: "I have been squatting outside for a long time. The Dog Emperor is really stupid. He sent Zhu Hui to meet the enemy. I bet with you that Zhu Hui will definitely lose."

Yan Chengjin's heart tightened, and Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to ask the dog emperor.

It sounds so kind...

I wonder how His Majesty would react after hearing this. Zhu Houzhao would also shout like this when he was beaten. Emperor Hongzhi knew it.

Fortunately, he has no plans to have a second child.

Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would have been abolished long ago.

At this moment, the young eunuch came over and hesitated: "Your Highness, Master Yan, your Majesty, please come in."

Zhu Houzhao shrank slightly and became more honest. Naturally, he didn't want to go in. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he walked into the hall obscenely.

Yan Chengjin followed suit.

In the palace,

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, naturally hearing Zhu Houzhao's eloquent talk, and asked angrily: "I just heard you say, Dayan Khan will win?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed and he said very honestly: "Father, I heard wrong. My son said that Zhu Hui will win."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little doubtful about his hearing. He looked at Xiao Jing aside. Xiao Jing nodded slightly and then he was sure: "I clearly heard it. You still want to deceive me. Tell the truth. I can't tell the truth. I'm sorry. Not you.”

"May I please retire first?" Yan Chengjin bowed slightly.

"Stand aside!"

Zhu Houzhao was also excited: "My son said that Dayan Khan will win."

"Why?"

"The terrain of the Hetao Plain is the same as that of the grassland, open and flat. Although Zhu Hui has experienced many battles, fighting the Tatars is different from fighting Annan and the Japanese pirates. Different terrains require different military strategies."

"Your son has seen Zhu Hui's military exploits. He rarely fights in the plains and lacks experience. Dayan Khan has fought in the grasslands for many years and has fought countless battles with the Ming Dynasty. He knows the usual tactics of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid Zhu Hui can't even find the trace of the Tatars."

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth curled slightly and showed a smile.

The Ming Dynasty and the Tatars have been fighting for many years. He doesn't object to the prince studying horse politics. Otherwise, how to resist the Tatars in the future?

However, this kid has never fought a battle, and he swears that Zhu Hui will lose.

Laugh?

Zhu Houzhao felt insulted, which was more uncomfortable than beating him up. "Your son puts it here today. It was you who said Zhu Hui would lose!"

"Come here!" Emperor Hongzhi waved.

Xiao Jing bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty?"

"Dragon whip."

Zhu Houzhao stiffened his neck and said: "I bet with my father. If Zhu Hui loses, my father will give me a gold medal to avoid beating!"

"Okay!" Emperor Hongzhi sneered.

Zhu Houzhao happily lay on the ground: "Fight."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

What Zhu Houzhao said makes sense. This guy has studied Zhu Hui's military exploits. After a month, we will see the result.

...

Li Mansion,

Li Zhaoxian jogged breathlessly. He had to stop and rest after running a section. It was just one lap, but he ran for a long time.

His legs were sore, like soft noodles, and they would collapse at any time.

He still gritted his teeth and persisted.

A group of servants followed behind him. The young master would not listen to anyone who advised him. They could only run with Li Zhaoxian.

"Master, it's the second lap. Can we run again tomorrow?"

"No...I have to run three laps today."

Li Dongyang came back and saw his son jogging around the government courtyard. He was so scared that he rushed over and lost his official hat.

"Zhaoxian, what are you doing!"

Li Zhaoxian saw his father's angry face and hurriedly said, "Son wants to participate in this year's provincial examination."

"If you want to participate, then participate. Why are you running?"

Li Zhaoxian shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "With my current body, I can't participate in the provincial examination. Master Yan ran 10,000 laps to participate in the imperial examination. I only ran three laps. What's the big deal?"

Yan... Yan Chengjin?

Li Dongyang's right eyelid twitched wildly, and his face was miserable: "Son, don't listen to him. If you listen to him, you won't even survive the autumn examination!"
