Chapter 180 General, humble Qi Jiguang!
The Chaobai River War was in full swing. Emperor Jiajing, who was far away in the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan, the capital, was also nervous and could not relax for a moment.
Not long after the early morning, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Lu Bing, quickly entered the palace and reported to Emperor Jiajing the news that the Jin Yiwei had discovered in the suburbs of Beijing.
Lu Bing knelt respectfully in front of Emperor Jiajing and said without any pause: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards from the suburbs of Beijing came to report that they heard the sound of artillery in the direction of Chaobai River in Shunyi, and it lasted for a long time."
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he stood up immediately and paced nervously in the monastery.
"Let's start the fight."
Emperor Jiajing took another step, then he stared at Lu Bing who was kneeling under him, "What's going to happen next?"
Lu Bing replied: " The minister is already urging you, and there will be news soon."
Emperor Jiajing said: "The order is sent down, and the frontline military report will be reported every quarter of an hour. I will pay close attention to it."
Lu Bing quickly bowed and said, "I obey your order."
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and let Lu Bing go down.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing could not help but show an anxious expression on his face. He was very worried about the situation on the front line and whether Zhu Zaijing would have any accidents on the front line.
At the same time, Emperor Jiajing was extremely angry at the unexpected arrival of the Tatars, and was angry at Weng Wanda, who he had issued an edict to appoint three months ago.
If Tatar hadn't arrived unexpectedly, would he have been so passive?
If Weng Wanda hadn't been excused from taking office in the capital, would his son have been so desperate to charge at the front line?
So at this time, Emperor Jiajing also put all his responsibilities and grievances on others, without considering his own problems.
If he could change his way of thinking, reach a mutual market agreement with Anda early, and give Anda a flashy royal title, wouldn't all these problems be avoided?
But he did not do this. Instead, he and An Da fought to the death. Not only did he reject An Da's request for tribute and mutual trade again and again, but he also beheaded his envoy to show the public. Nine sides.
Isn’t this just plainly adding fuel to the fire?
If you can stop others, just do these things.
But the problem is that the frontier troops on the nine sides are not as useful as expected. Now the problem has become serious. An Da has gathered various grassland ministries with a so-called 200,000 troops to enter the suburbs of Koujing, hoping to recreate the story of Jingkang or Tumubao. , isn’t this just a slap in the face of Emperor Jiajing?
Emperor Jiajing was waiting anxiously in the monastery.
About two moments later, a secret report rushed from the front line by Huang Jin was finally delivered through the secret line of Dongchang.
Emperor Jiajing saw that the secret report that Huang Jin had sent was still stained with blood, and his heart trembled. What kind of hard battle did Huang Jin ignore the etiquette and use bloody envelopes and papers? Wrote this secret report.
Emperor Jiajing quickly opened it and looked at it, and saw what was written inside: "Your Majesty, the slave Huang Jindu bowed his head before worshiping the enemy Yu Chen and violated the Chaobai River defense line. The slave and Feng Bao resisted resolutely under the order of King Yu. Feng Bao used artillery to attack in advance and killed more than one or two thousand enemies. Then the slaves led the cavalry into the battlefield and fought bloody battles with the enemy. They defeated the enemy's vanguard and killed about four thousand of them, driving away the enemy's vanguard. This is our first victory in this battle!"
Then some other content information is attached below, such as the number of casualties and damage on our side.
Emperor Jiajing's hands couldn't help but tremble when he saw this secret report. He never expected that Huang Jin, his first companion who had been serving him all the time, would have such a brave side, and he would personally take it with him. The cavalry and Tatar cavalry charged at each other.
Moreover, they killed more than 4,000 people on the opposite side. In addition, Feng Bao commanded the firearms soldiers to blow up the people before. So isn’t this battle equivalent to killing more than 6,000 Tatars?
At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's mood suddenly cheered up.
At this time, Lu Bing also came in a hurry and handed over the new Jin Yiwei detective report.
Lu Bing bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty is very happy. The Jinyi Guards in the suburbs of Beijing have reported victory in the first battle at Chaobai River. The detailed battle report is already being urged and will be presented to Your Majesty soon."
And I have just seen Huang. After the first-hand battle report from Jin Express, Emperor Jiajing also became calm. Emperor Jiajing said: "I know, the Tatar thieves are no better than local chickens and dogs. You can go and investigate in detail."
Lu Bing suddenly became confused when he heard Emperor Jiajing's tone. When he first came in, he could feel Emperor Jiajing's nervousness.
Why is it suddenly so calm now? Could it be that Your Majesty is really successful in cultivation? Don't you care about these things anymore?
But this is obviously impossible.
Therefore, Lu Bing could only bow down first, exit the Jiajing Emperor's monastery, and then think about it. It was at this time that the battle report from the Ministry of War was also delivered.
The battle report from the Ministry of War was even more simple. It just said: "Victory at Chaobai River."
Emperor Jiajing looked at these three battle reports sent one after another, and felt in his heart I don't know how to describe the feeling.
However, after this great victory, Emperor Jiajing hardened his temper and had reason to mobilize the guards of the capital.
Emperor Jiajing said to Ding Rukui, the Minister of War: "Ask the Ministry of War to order three thousand troops to quickly support the Chaobai River front line. All deployments are subject to the orders of the front line generals. You are not allowed to use troops privately. Anyone who is greedy for merit and does not obey the orders of the front line will be executed immediately." No mercy!"
Ding Rukui hurriedly bowed: "I obey the order!"
At this time, taking advantage of the victory in the first battle of Chaobai River, there is really no reason for the officials in the capital to stop it. The garrison troops in the capital were not allowed to leave.
After all, early in the morning, they had already rejected Emperor Jiajing's intention to send troops out of the city.
Now that Chaobaihe has won the first battle, if they still insist on their previous opinions, wouldn’t this mean they are ignorant of current affairs and do not know how to adapt?
Therefore, Ding Rukui did not hesitate, and immediately returned to the temporary headquarters of the Ministry of War at Andingmen, and called the Minister of War, Yang Jisheng, and others to convey the emperor's decree.
Everyone hesitated for a while when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor wanted them to mobilize three thousand soldiers and horses to quickly support Chaobaihe.
Some people are simply afraid, while others are entangled in obeying the requirements of the frontline generals for all orders.
You must know that the people who can be in this temporary headquarters have very high-level official positions and titles. As long as they are deployed abroad, they will definitely hold the position of commander-in-chief or governor-general.
How could such a person go out and be someone else’s little brother?
So for a while, no one was willing to step forward and lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Chaobai River to support.
At this time, Gao Gong stood in the corner and became angry.
Gao Gong is not from their military department, and he has no interest in it.
Gao Gong shouted loudly, "You are all important officials of the imperial court, but you are so silent at critical moments. I, Gao Gong, am ashamed to be associated with you. If you cherish your life and reputation, you are unwilling to lead the army." Support, I, Gao Gong, am willing to do it for you!”
Gao Gong’s fiery temper finally broke out uncontrollably, and he started scolding him directly in the temporary headquarters of the Ministry of War, not afraid of this at all. People's reckoning and post-mortem questioning.
Ding Rukui and others glanced at Gao Gong in embarrassment. They did not argue tit-for-tat with Gao Gong because they knew very well that if they started arguing and the matter reached the ears of Emperor Jiajing, they would have to deal with it. Gone.
Ding Rukui and others couldn't help but feel cold. Since Gao Gong wanted to die, let him go. Maybe he died directly on the front line of Chaobai River. This can be regarded as his benevolence.
So in the end Ding Rukui also said calmly: "Since Gao Shidu has this intention, then Gao Shidu will lead these three thousand reinforcements to support Chaobaihe, and we will wait for Gao Shidu's good news."< br>
Gao Gong snorted, bowed unconvincedly to Ding Rukui and others, and then ordered his troops to prepare for departure.
Qi Jiguang, who was originally the chief chess and card officer at the city gate, heard that he wanted 3,000 troops to support the Chaobai River front line. He also excitedly ran to Gao Gong to ask for a fight, and asked Gao Gong to take him with him.
Gao Gong looked at the young man, and he couldn't help but show a little appreciation in his heart. Gao Gong asked: "What is your name?"
Qi Jiguang bowed: "General, I humble you Qi Jiguang!"
