Since ancient times, the Ming Empire had never been afraid of the Wala Tartars.
Although these barbarians living on the grasslands were good at cavalry attacks, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was not to be trifled with.
However, this time, the Ming army guarding the border did not prepare for war in advance, which allowed the Wala clan to take the initiative.
A sudden attack to threaten the capital was a method to shake the hearts of the people and throw the ministers into disarray.
The people of the capital were terrified by the impending war.
However, Zhu Qizhen immediately sealed the news of the battle within the city and even sealed the city gates.
He had confidence in Yu Qian. As long as Datong Prefecture and the capital worked together and lasted for a month, the Wala army would be defeated!
Zhu Qizhen estimated the route of his army. It would only take a day to reach Juyong Pass, but it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. This would be a tug-of-war.
What he feared the most was that the Wala army would retreat and not advance, defending the outside of the pass and constantly depleting the army he led.
If they fought such a protracted war, they would exhaust the Ming army to death.
The capital was preparing for a defensive battle, and if he continued to send rations to his army, it would be even more difficult for them to last more than a month.
This battle had to be ended quickly. Otherwise, when the two armies of Wala met up, it would really be like what Yu Qian said, the Great Ming army would be completely annihilated.
Zhu Qizhen thought carefully. If he wanted to stop the two armies from converging, he had to ensure that nothing went wrong in the defense of the capital.
He quickly pulled out the holographic projection. He had forgotten that he still had the King's Palace to control.
Fortunately, he had the system and the King's Palace. Otherwise, he would have to worry about the consequences.
If he removed his worries, what was there to be afraid of?
As soon as the holographic projection appeared, the Imperial City appeared before Zhu Qizhen's eyes.
In the holographic projection, he immediately tightened the defense of the city and built stronger walls.
The Wala Army did not have any siege weapons. As long as Yu Qian gave the right command and kept hiding in the city, the Wala Army on the other side would be exhausted to death!
Zhu Qizhen had even dug a very wide moat around the capital to block the Wala cavalry, completely shattering the Wala people's dream of razing the Ming capital.
Following that, Zhu Qi Zhen quickly used the trees cut down in the logging field to produce more wood.
In this war, rations were the key!
He personally led the army to march outside and needed sufficient food and supplies.
If they could build wooden oxen and horses overnight in these few days, then the problem of grain and fodder could be solved.
After Zhu Qizhen had planned everything, he suddenly had a lot of confidence in this battle.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly shouted at Zhao Yun, who was waiting outside,"Zilong, come in quickly."
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
After Wang Zhen was killed for delaying the military situation, Zhao Yun had been helping Zhu Qizhen with some urgent matters.
"Go and summon Yu Qian to Yangxin Hall."
"Your humble subject obeys."
Zhao Yun immediately rushed to Yu Qian's residence and brought her to Yangxin Hall.
As soon as Yu Qian entered Yangxin Palace Hall, she immediately knelt down and bowed."This official apologizes to the emperor.”
"Zhen An. This is a blueprint of a grain transport vehicle that I designed. Immediately send someone to find the best carpenter in the city and quickly forge it according to the blueprint.”
Yu Qian took the blueprint from Zhu Qizhen's hands and was suddenly shocked."This is…the wooden ox horse that has long been lost among the people?”
"You even know about the wooden ox? I didn't misjudge you."
"I have read about it in books. Emperor, did you design this?"
Yu Qian looked at the nine-year-old Zhu Qizhen in surprise. He could not believe that this blueprint was made by a nine-year-old child.
The design on this blueprint was extremely precise. One look and one could tell that it was drawn by someone who truly understood woodworking.
Zhu Qizhen was only nine years old. How did he design it?
Could it be that…the fall in the main hall had really enlightened the nine-year-old Zhu Qizhen and turned him into a prodigy emperor?
Yu Qian's hand trembled as she took the blueprint.
If Zhu Qizhen was really a child prodigy, then it would indeed be a great fortune!
Zhu Qi Zhen was still so young, wouldn't the Great Ming be prosperous for another hundred years?
At the thought of this, Yu Qian was particularly excited.
This was a nine-year-old prodigy emperor that was rarely seen in a thousand years!
Zhu Qizhen suddenly sighed. He came in front of Yu Qian and slowly pulled him up from the ground.
His small hand had been holding Yu Qian's rough hand the whole time. He said sincerely,"I am still young and have just taken over the government. It is all thanks to a virtuous minister like Yu Aiqing that I can feel at ease. From tomorrow onwards, the capital will be relying on you.”
He was only nine years old, but he already knew how to win people's hearts.
If it was any other official, they would not be able to withstand Zhu Qizhen's words.
Yu Qian's innocent heart was completely moved by Zhu Qizhen's words.
A good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve.
Yu Qian was so excited that her body was trembling. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times."Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint you. As long as I still have a breath left, I will ensure that the capital is safe and free from Your Majesty's worries!”
After giving instructions on the grain transport vehicle, Zhu Qizhen even specially sent Zhao Yun to send Yu Qian back to her residence.
The relationship between monarch and minister is nothing more than this.
Yu Qian was so touched that she almost cried.
At this moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Zhu Qizhen's mind.
Ding! Prestige 200…
