After seeing the new cannons of the Ministry of Works at the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs, Zhu Houzhen returned to the palace.
Along the way, the Brocade Guard was heavily guarded. Not a bird could get close to the Emperor.
After the last assassination attempt, the number of guards protecting the Emperor had increased tenfold. They were even more rigorous after leaving the palace, not daring to relax in the slightest.
After Zhu Houjin returned to Yangxin Palace Hall, the system arrived unexpectedly.
[Ding-dong, Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese pirates. The host has obtained 1000 system points
.] Obtain one chance to draw a historical figure.”
Adding on these 1,000 points, he had another 10,000 points.
"Let's draw it now."”
"Ding dong! Starting to draw historical figures
…Ding dong! The drawing is complete. You have obtained the historical figure Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang was originally from the Jiajing Dynasty, but he had not yet appeared.
The system had brought forward Li Chengliang's birth by 20 years, and his loyalty to Zhu Houjin was 100%. It had automatically instilled his memories and generated his identity.
Zhu Houyu knew Li Chengliang's ability. Li Chengliang was valiant and valiant, and had many military achievements. He was a great general.
He had been the commander of Liaodong twice. He guarded Liaodong for 30 years, built the six forts of Kuandian, organized the Liaodong cavalry, and effectively prevented the unification and rise of the Jurchen tribes, making great contributions to the stability of the border of the Ming Dynasty.
"System, where is Li Chengliang now?”Zhu Houjin asked.
System: "Li Chengcheng's current identity is a general of the 5 military camps of the 3 camps. His combat strength will always be at its peak. The host can summon him at any time."”
The three battalions were the most elite field troops of the Ming Dynasty army. They were personally established by Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.
They were the five battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the god machine battalions.
Li Chengliang's five camps were a mix of cavalry and infantry.
Zhu Houjin was very satisfied. Now that the navy had Qi Jiguang, the army did not have any famous generals to hold the line.
Now that Li Chengliang was here and his loyalty was 100%, Zhu Houjin was relieved. He immediately issued an edict to promote Li Chengliang to the commander of the five military camps.
Just as Zhu Houjiu was about to check the strength of the other countries in the system, the system notification suddenly sounded.
Red Military Intelligence Alert!
"This winter, the Tartar tribe suffered a great snowstorm and froze countless cattle and sheep to death. The three hundred thousand men of the small tribes have already set out to the south to plunder.”
300,000 Tatar Cavalry!
Hoho ~
Zhu Houyan was shocked!
Was the Tartars preparing for an all-out war with the Ming Dynasty?
Or was he hungry and wanted to rob the south?
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside Yangxin Palace Hall. Huang Jin ran in from outside.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Chief Assistant Yang Yiqing's memorial
…"
Zhu Houjiu closed the system and Huang Jin sent Yang Yiqing's memorial over. When Zhu Houjiu opened the memorial, his expression changed drastically.
The two major cities of Datong Xuan Manor had also suffered from the ice disaster this winter. Yang Yiqing requested the Emperor to transfer 200,000 taels of silver to each of these two major cities to purchase rations from the people to prepare for the war.
The reason for preparing for war was that the northern Tartar tribes suffered more.
Whenever the Tartars were in trouble, they would definitely pillage the south, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
"Allow!"
Without any hesitation, Zhu Houjin agreed to Yang Yiqing's request.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Huang Jin knew that this was a serious matter and did not dare to delay. After drafting the decree, he quickly sealed it with the jade seal and sent it to the cabinet.
The cabinet quickly began to operate. Minister of War Wang Yangming sent Assistant Minister Xu Lang to Datong with the imperial edict and the silver notes of the Ministry of War to dispatch silver and grain.
After the commercial reform, the Ming Empire's financial system had already taken shape. With the national treasury as a credit guarantee and the implementation of the gold standard, the bank now recognized the Ming banknote (treasure banknote) very much.
After Huang Jin left, Zhu Houshen ordered the eunuch to hang the map of Wan Guokun on the wall and began to look at it with rapt attention.
Datong was less than six hundred li away from the capital. If it was lost, the capital would be in great danger. The Tatars would march straight into the city!
The history of Zhu Qi Town in the Earth Wood Fort would repeat itself!
The various reforms in the empire had just begun, and the war in Koryo was about to break out. The Tartar cavalry had also marched south.
Three hundred thousand troops came as soon as they arrived. It was really a disaster that never came alone!
Zhu Houjie was furious!
Furious!
Furious!
Furious!
The little prince of Tartar!
You're taking advantage of a burning house!
"Where are the 300,000 Tatar cavalrymen? Who is the Datong General?"
Zhu Houyan asked when he saw the Minister of War Wang Yangming enter.
"Your Majesty, the Tartars have heard that the Ming Empire is fighting the Japanese on land and water. With the snow disaster on the grassland, the scouts have reported that they have decided to go south half a month ago. The current commander of Datong is Xu Feng. The Ministry of War has been transferred from Gan Su to Datong for less than a month..."
Xu Feng said.
He was a descendant of the founding hero Xu Da, and he was good at fighting. He had been stationed at one of the nine borders for many years, Gan Su.
Since the Chenghua years, there had been countless famous officials in the Ming Empire, but there were not many famous generals. Xu Feng had the strength of his ancestors.
Datong had 100,000 soldiers, and the city was sturdy and easy to defend. There were also heavy cannons on the city walls…
However, the Tata cavalry had 300,000 soldiers, and they were extremely skilled in the field. They were a people who rode on horseback.
If Datong could not be defended, the capital would fall into the hands of the Tatars Cavalry, and any mishap would be a national disaster…
Now that the Liaodong army had moved to Koryo, Qi Jiguang, who was good at fighting, was looking for the main force of the Japanese pirates at sea to fight.
For a moment, he really couldn't find any useful general talent.
Suddenly, Zhu Hou thought of Li Chengliang, who had just been selected from the system!
Li Chengliang was 20 years old now, and he was at his peak.
In Zhu Hou's opinion, he couldn't put the safety of the capital in Datong.
In order to deal with the current crisis, he had to take the initiative to attack!
Using offense as a defense was the best strategy!
