Chapter 155 Emperor Jiajing’s Vigor
Huang Jin looked at the dancing Emperor Jiajing and knew very well that at this moment, Emperor Jiajing was in great joy and it was the best time to speak.
Huang Jin bowed to Emperor Jiajing again and said: "I am guilty of this, please punish me. I gave Prince Yu the gold medal arrow given by the emperor, please punish me."
When Emperor Jiajing heard what Huang Jin said, he didn't care much, because Emperor Jiajing had guessed the result from the secret report Huang Jin sent back last time. Even if Huang Jin didn't give it, Zhu Zaijing would get it from him. snatched away.
Emperor Jiajing said: "Forget it, this is not a problem. Isn't it just a token? Besides, my son's morale is so high now. How can I beat these Tatar bandits to pieces? How about holding someone accountable at this time? Moreover, there is an ancient saying: "You will not be affected by your fate." The frontline is changing rapidly, and I cannot control everything in a timely manner, so I should give San'er the right to act easily. Only in this way can San'er be guaranteed. The plan for my son is going well, and it’s a good thing for me.”
Huang Jin listened to Emperor Jiajing's words and said to Emperor Jiajing with appropriate concern: "Emperor, Prince Yu is a prince after all. There will still be a lot of rumors if he leads troops."
Huang Jin The words also made the excited Emperor Jiajing silent for a while. This problem is indeed serious.
I don’t know since when it has become a taboo for princes to participate in politics and lead troops. Even if the emperor does not say anything, the ministers and scholars in the world will not allow this to happen. Because in their opinion, such a situation would shake the foundation of the world's stability.
So in the Ming Dynasty, princes and princes could be noble, but they could never participate in politics or serve in the military. This was the consensus of the people in the world.
Even Emperor Jiajing could not overturn this consensus, because he also knew very well how serious the consequences would be once this consensus was overturned.
Emperor Jiajing was silent for a while and said: "Who said San'er was leading the troops outside? San'er is resting in the palace, and the person leading the troops outside is Zhu San, the camp officer of the Royal Horse Prison."
When Emperor Jiajing said this, he took a deep look at Huang Jin. Huang Jin instantly understood what Emperor Jiajing meant. He immediately bowed his head and said, "The person leading the troops outside is the imperial horse supervisor sitting in the camp." Zhu San, this slave failed to report the secret file of this person’s resume to the emperor. I ask the emperor to punish him.”
Emperor Jiajing hummed and said calmly: “Then hurry up and send Zhu San’s resume secret.” Find me the file, otherwise, how will I reward the meritorious officials in the future?"
Huang Jin did not dare to neglect, and quickly prepared to find Zhu San's resume secret file, just when he was about to turn around. , Huang Jin remembered another very important event.
Huang Jin turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, Prince Zhu San requested your Majesty to mobilize the warrior battalion to go out of the city to join the battle. We plan to fight the bandits at the front line of Chaobai River and drive them out of the capital."
Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment, and now the only garrison in the capital was the old and weak remnants of tens of thousands of people from the Ministry of War, as well as the three battalions of the front camp, the rear camp and the warrior camp under the Royal Horse Supervisor. All three battalions have a quota of 6,000 men and horses. , is the backbone force responsible for guarding the imperial city, and cannot be moved easily.
But now Zhu Zaijing is fighting outside. In addition to the four guard battalions sent before, only the original 20,000 defenders of Gubeikou are left.
But the situation of the 20,000 defenders does not seem to be optimistic. According to the battle report from the Ministry of War, the defenders lost thousands of soldiers after a bloody battle with the bandits near Pigeon Cave. Just over 10,000 people.
These more than 10,000 people plus the 6,000 people of the Fourth Guards Battalion are only worth 20,000 troops. Expecting 20,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Tatar bandits, who claim to be an army of 200,000, is tantamount to throwing an egg against a stone. .
So the situation outside is still precarious and we dare not relax even a little bit.
At the same time, Emperor Jiajing was also worried about the 20,000 Datong troops led by Qiu Luan, as well as the tens of thousands of reinforcements actively dispatched by Liaodong.
These two troops are the fastest to assist the capital, but they are still on the road and have not reached the scheduled defense location, which gives Emperor Jiajing a headache. Emperor Jiajing looked up at Huang Jin, with a trace of madness in his eyes, "I have issued an order to the Ministry of War to mobilize a number of people in the capital who should be held for military examinations and civilian strength. These people should be under the command and dispatch of the garrison of the capital. I can shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the capital."
"Since Zhu San has hope for a decisive battle, I naturally can't be stingy. I can do it with the remaining three battalions of the Yuma Supervisor. Transfer it to Zhu San and order him to control a group of troops in the suburbs of Beijing to fight the bandits in person! "
After Huang Jin heard what Emperor Jiajing said, he felt a surge of energy in his body. He didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing would make such a decision. This was a bit inconsistent with his previous impression of Emperor Jiajing.
In the past, Emperor Jiajing always acted with complete certainty before striking out. Now it seems that the light has not yet been seen, but Emperor Jiajing also dared to take a gamble. Such changes have to make Huang Jin think more. .
Has the emperor regained the youthful vigor he had during the great etiquette dispute?
When Emperor Jiajing first entered the capital, he was faced with a crisis situation surrounded by powerful ministers. It was with this winning mentality that he dared to gamble and the careful operation of extreme pulling that he defeated Yang Ting and a group of veteran ministers. Thus gaining the well-deserved supreme power.
Huang Jinke accompanied Emperor Jiajing all the way from Anlu, and his understanding of Emperor Jiajing was undoubtedly the most profound.
Now because of Prince Yu's achievements and plans in the suburbs of Beijing, Emperor Jiajing has regained his former ambitions. How could this feeling not make Huang Jin excited?
Huang Jin bowed excitedly: "I obey the order!"
Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin who accepted the order. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Huang Jin: "No matter what the result is, we must protect it." San'er."
Huang Jin gave a heavy hum, "I will do my best to protect the prince."
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, "Go and guard the front camp and the rear camp. Bring both the camp and the warrior camp to San'er. I'm waiting for your good news in Xiyuan!"
Huang Jin bowed again, then withdrew, and then instructed his trusted eunuch to "find" Yi! A confidential copy of Zhu San's resume was presented to Emperor Jiajing.
After Huang Jin left Xiyuan, he immediately took the decree given by Emperor Jiajing and called all the eunuchs in charge of the royal horse supervisor and the admiral eunuchs from the front camp, rear camp, and warrior camp. Then he announced the decree on the spot and ordered the front camp to , in the rear camp, the soldiers and horses of the Warrior Battalion left the city and were under the full control of Zhu San, the officer in charge of the Four Guards Battalion.
After hearing this decree, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor and the admiral eunuchs of several other battalions were also confused and couldn't figure out who Zhu San was.
But they must listen to His Majesty the Emperor’s decree, so even if they don’t know who Zhu San is, the commander of this small Four Guards Battalion, they still obediently obey the decree and follow Huang Jin The whole army went out of the city together.
The three battalions have a total of more than 18,000 people, plus Zhu Zaijing’s current 6,000-strong Fourth Guard Battalion and the 10,000 reserve workers in Shunyi Industrial Park, as well as Wang Ruxiao and Luo Xi Han led the Gubeikou garrison of more than 10,000 people.
Now Zhu Zaijing has nearly 50,000 horses under his control. With these 50,000 horses as support, Zhu Zaijing is more confident in the decisive battle at Chaobai River.
The next step is to start the defense battle according to the plan and lure the main Tatar forces to the Chaobai River for a decisive battle!
