"The distribution map of the tribes in the northern steppe.”
"Quick, present it!"
Huang Jinjian took the map from Zhang Juzheng.
Then, he respectfully presented it to Zhu Zaihou.
Zhu Zaihou opened the sheepskin map.
The system notification sounded.
You have obtained the distribution map of the grassland tribes and the entire territory of Tartar.
A topographic map of the south and north of Tartar appeared in Zhu Zaihou's system.
On the map, the mountains, rivers, and the distribution of dozens of tribes were marked in detail…
" Your Majesty, General Zheng Jimin spent ten years and killed more than 800 scouts to draw this map of the grassland tribes…"
After Zhang Juzheng said this, he continued,
"Sending troops from Liaodong to harass the Tartar Khanate from the rear is like pulling firewood from under the cauldron and a strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao.”
Zhu Zaihou was thinking about the gains and losses of this plan.
If he succeeded, he would definitely be able to create a wondrous feat!
But this plan was too risky.
If the Tatar cavalry did not reach Datong and attacked Liaodong instead…
The safest way was to support Da Tong Prefecture.
Zhu Zaihou looked at the map, and all the civil and military officials were waiting.
The huge court was completely silent…
"If Datong Prefecture is lost, our Great Ming will have no place to defend. The Tatars will enter the city like no one else!”
Chief Assistant Xu Jie stepped forward and said.
"What good ideas does Minister Xu have?" Zhu Zaihou asked.”
"Your Majesty, the defense of Da Tong Prefecture is indispensable.”
"According to my words, Your Majesty can order people to spread rumors that Li Chengliang of Liaodong is going to attack the Tartar Khanate.
"There are ten great tribes on the grasslands. They have gathered together temporarily for the sake of benefits, like a plate of loose sand.”
When Hai Rui, Tan Lun, and Gao Yi heard this, they thought to themselves,"
"As expected, Xu Jie is still a wily old fox.”
How could they know that Xu Jie and his advisors had not slept the entire night?
They had discussed this plan for 10 hours before finally coming to a conclusion.
"Alright, we'll do as you say.”
"After I inspect the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, I will let him go and deceive the Tartars!”
Zhu Zaihou finally made his final decision.
Zhu Zaihou led the civil and military officials to the drill ground.
Violators were immediately arrested.
Zhu Zaihou was under the strict protection of the royal guards and the imperial guards.
They headed to the military field in the northern city in a grandiose manner.
——
The capital is prosperous.
There were no fallen leaves on the clean street.
An hour later, the 5,000 Divine Arms Battalion arrived at the southern drill ground.
He was equipped with a bird gun, a fire bird musket, and later on, he added a musket.
The three thousand Divine Arms Battalion had a miraculous effect on cavalry!
However, the Divine Arms Battalion also had its shortcomings. It was very cumbersome to resupply ammunition.
The time it took to fire a shot was enough for an elite archer to shoot at least ten arrows…
……
Li Chengliang had already dismounted, and the sun was hanging above his head.
Sweat kept flowing down their cheeks.
He was extremely excited.
Li Chengliang had never participated in the imperial examination when he was growing up.
All the way until now, he had relied on his battle achievements.
He had climbed up step by step. He had never seen the Great Ming Emperor before.
How could they not be excited?
They were separated inside and outside the drill ground.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Zaihou's carriage arrived.
Li Chengliang led 50,000 Liaodong cavalry and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
After Zhu Zaihou arrived at the drill ground…
Standing on the emperor's carriage, he smiled as he looked at the Liaodong cavalry with their flags fluttering.
