Yang Yiqing was rubbing his fists at the border. When he heard Zhu Youtang's imperial edict, his blood vessels surged and he gathered all the soldiers above the fifth rank into the hall of the Commanding Envoy Division.
Yang Yiqing was a very capable person. He went straight to the point and said,"Each of you will express your own opinions and tell me how to destroy the Tartars and Wala.”
All the generals sitting in the Commander Division seemed to be waiting for this day, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.
War naturally couldn't be rushed. In the past few days, Yang Yiqing and his subordinates had been directing the envoy division to consider the battle plan for the external military attack.
……
North Zhili.
Forbidden City.
Morning court.
After the eunuch's routine singing ceremony.
The Minister of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, proudly stepped forward and shouted,""Your Majesty, recently, the little Tartar prince Batumengke's tribute has arrived at the Ministry of Rites.”
"The little prince of Tartar requests to present 3,000 warhorses and 10,000 fat sheep as tribute. He also requests to bring a letter of credence, requesting that Great Ming be the suzerain for generations to come.”
Whoosh!
Zhou Hongmo's words instantly caused an uproar in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
The officials were all overjoyed, and their faces were filled with unprecedented pride.
In just a year and a half, under the rule of the new emperor, the Ming Dynasty's workers, farmers, and merchants began to flourish.
Most importantly, the military strength that the Great Ming army had displayed had already crushed the four seas and made them tremble.
When Turpan was destroyed by the dynasty, the Tartars and Wala had already realized how powerful the Ming Dynasty was.
Therefore, the little Tartar prince was so frightened that he quickly handed over his credentials, paid tribute, and expressed his goodwill.
"In addition, the little prince of Tartar requests that the princess of Tartar be married to His Majesty.”
Ever since Zhengtong, the Battle of Tumu Fort had taken away two-thirds of the spirit of the Great Ming soldiers.
After that, Da Ming changed from an active offense to a passive defense.
In the past few decades, Da Ming had suffered humiliation and plunder in the north.
Now, hearing the Tartars and the Wala people grovel in such a way, he was shocked.
All the officials were extremely excited.
"Refuse them."
Zhu Youtang's indifferent voice suddenly sounded,""Your Bureau of Rites should withdraw your credentials and inform the Tartar and Wala Kingdom that my army will arrive in the Khagan Court in a few days.”
"Fight, I will destroy his country."
"If you surrender, I will also destroy your country."
"Let them choose."
Such a domineering sentence would make anyone who said it feel awkward.
Only the man sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute was neither sad nor happy!
No one dared to doubt the authenticity of Zhu Youtang's words.
Because it must be real!
"Your Majesty!"
The Minister of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, braced himself and reported.
Although he knew that Zhu Youtang was arbitrary, he had to point out the pros and cons.
"The dynasty is resting and recuperating at this time.”
"The Tartars and the Wala have already lowered their stance. If they send their credentials to our country, it means that they won't launch a war in the next three to five years.”
"Why don't our dynasty take this opportunity to recuperate and strengthen itself?”
Zhou Hongmo naturally didn't mean not to attack the Tartars and Wala.
They had to fight!
This was the principle that the officials and even the emperor had set in their hearts.
However, Zhou Hongmo felt that now was not the time.
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhou Hongmo and then at the officials. He asked lightly,""Then let me ask you."
"What if this is a tactic by the Tartars and Wala to tire the enemy out?”
"My Big Ming can recuperate, but what about them?”
"Ma Wensheng fought a world-shocking battle in the west and let all the surrounding countries see the power of the Ming Dynasty.”
"Right now, the morale of all the foreign countries is low and they are afraid of Great Ming. If we don't send troops now, when should we send troops?”
"If we don't take them down this summer, the rain will continue to fall after autumn, which is not conducive to the artillery march. After winter, the soldiers of the country were even more unable to cross the vast snowy mountains.”
"I don't want to give them a chance to rise again.”
Looking around at everyone, Zhu Youtang paused and said,"A few days ago, Zhen had already given Yang Yiqing the imperial edict to attack. At this moment, my Great Ming's army is probably about to reach the Tartar Palace.”
Swoosh!
All the officials were shocked.
"Emperor, isn't this matter too hasty? Why didn't you discuss the battle strategy with us before you sent out your troops?”Liu Jian stepped forward.
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Zhu Youtang bypassing the cabinet and directly giving orders to the nine sides.
Zhu Youtang did not mind and asked,""Does Grand Secretary Liu know how far away the Tartars are from the Nine Regions? Which mountains did he have to cross along the way? Cross those swamps? Did he not know how to identify directions? How to find the Tartar Court? Does Grand Secretary Liu understand this?"
"This…"
Zhu Youtang said,"Since you don't understand, then don't give Yang Yiqing pointers."”
"Your humble subject…"
Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said,"If there's nothing else, disperse the court."”
……
After Zhu Youtang left, the officials looked at each other.
Liu Jian blushed.
It was burning.
"Grand Secretary Liu." Li Dongyang walked over to comfort her.
Liu Jian smiled bitterly." This old man's structure is not enough. The Emperor is right. If this old man doesn't understand and blindly commands, it will only affect Yang Yiqing's judgment.”
"Since Yang Yiqing was chosen by His Majesty, this old man will wait for good news.”
Li Dongyang nodded and said,""My Emperor has seen through everything. Don't doubt the person you use and don't use the person you suspect. I hope Yang Yiqing won't disappoint the Emperor.”
Xie Qian clenched his fists. What the f * ck was there to rest? It was more important to defeat the Wala and Tartars as soon as possible!”
"In the past hundred years, because of the Tumu Fortress incident, our dynasty has been weakening day by day. On the other hand, how arrogant have the Wala and Tartars become? Every time they rode on Da Ming's head, they could do nothing to them.”
"Now that they know how to be afraid, is it enough for them to be afraid? If they did not beat him to death, they would never know what kind of existence they had offended!”
"This old man supports my emperor!"
Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian with a dark expression, and so did Liu Jian.
"Grand Elder Xie, enough is enough! His Majesty isn't here, so why are you flattering him so much?”
Xie Qian was speechless. He blushed and snorted,"This old man's words come from the bottom of my heart!"”
Although he was teasing them, the Third Pavilion Elder's confidence and national pride flowed out uncontrollably.
My Great Ming Dynasty…has really risen!!!
The foreign countries were starting to look at Da Ming's face!
