"As Your Majesty said, rather than being beaten passively, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack.”
Yu Qian's words made the pavilion elders turn pale with fright.
"Crazy, crazy, this Yu Qian is crazy too.”
They thought that Minister Yu would try to persuade the Emperor.
Now, he was the new emperor's favorite.
The Emperor would definitely listen to his words.
But they never thought that Yu Qian would agree with the Emperor's crazy idea.
Yu Qian looked at the shocked pavilion elders. Without waiting for them to refute, he cupped his fists and bowed.
"Pavilion Elders, please listen to my explanation."
Chen Xun stroked his beard and nodded,""Alright, we'll listen to Minister Yu's brilliant theory.”
Then, Yu Qian began to explain why he agreed to the emperor's preemptive decision.
Firstly, he had to strike first and catch them off guard.
The leaders of the Wala tribes would never have thought that the Ming army would dare to go north again.
Secondly, the morale of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Great Ming was high and there was hatred in their hearts.
Moreover, outstanding and loyal generals had already replaced most of the incompetent and cowardly noble generals.
Third, they could join forces with the border guards to reduce the losses at the border.
Fourth, if they held on to the capital, the Wala Empire would slaughter the cities and provinces along the way.
The millions of people of Ming Dynasty will not be spared.
Fifth, Wala was not united.
Tuotuo Buhua, the Khan of Wala, had a sharp conflict with the leader Yexian.
In other words, its interior was extremely unstable.
It was fine if Wala won a battle, but if they lost a few times, the conflict would definitely intensify.
Sixth, and most importantly, the Ming Dynasty had a Sacred Emperor who ruled the civil and martial arts.
The entire imperial court was united and hated the enemy.
Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Wang Zhi, Shang Lu, and the other important officials, after listening to Yu Qian's analysis, actually agreed with these views.
In the end, the cabinet elders were convinced by Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian.
Of course, even if they did not agree, there was nothing they could do.
This was because they could not change what Zhu Qiyu had already decided.
"Alright, Yu Qing, quickly go and reorganize the army. The army will depart tomorrow."
As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu only needed to make a decision.
The rest of the details were carried out by Yu Qian and a group of generals filled with fighting spirit.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Qiyu took the initiative to attack and did not want to be passively beaten up was because the system had issued a mission.
In the face of the Wala army that is about to invade the capital, please make the following choice.
First, he would lead 400,000 Great Ming soldiers to defend the city and use the capital as the main battlefield to win. [Reward: Reputation 50,000, personal strength 10, rations 100,000 stone, militia 50,000]
Secondly, he would fight and talk with the Wala tribes. He would fight and talk, and then he would make peace with the Wala tribes and end the war. [Reward: Reputation 30,000, Lifespan 10, Prosperity 10.]
Thirdly, as the emperor, he would lead hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Wala and win the war. [Reward: Reputation 100,000, individual strength 15, loyalty of the entire Ming Dynasty 10, strength of all soldiers 5.]
Faced with three choices, Zhu Qiyu didn't even think and directly chose the third option.
The reward for the third mission was simply too generous and fragrant.
Although the other rewards were also very tempting, in the long run, the third option was still the most suitable for him.
This was the reason why he suggested attacking Wala.
The only thing he did not expect was that Yu Qian actually agreed with his decision.
Moreover, he had given so much analysis.
This undoubtedly increased Zhu Qiyu's confidence.
After discussing the military situation for a while, the civil and military officials left.
At this moment, the young eunuch Wang Cheng ran in in a panic.
"Your Majesty, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tang Jian, requests an audience.”
Zhu Qiyu knew that as the commander, Tang Jian must have something important to be in such a hurry to ask for an audience.
"Summon him in."
After Tang Jian hurriedly bowed, he took out a secret report from his pocket and presented it.
After Zhu Qiyu read it, his expression gradually darkened.
"Empress Dowager Sun wants to unite all the vassal kings to come to the capital to help the king?”
"What kind of king is she? Do you want them to help me resist Wala?”
Wang Cheng and Tang Jian were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zhu Qiyu's expression was uncertain. He originally wanted Empress Dowager Sun to kill herself.
However, this vicious woman's nature to survive was too strong.
Not only was she ignorant of the times, but she also wanted to unite the vassal kings to rebel in the capital?
Hehe, a smart person is always muddleheaded. He's really blinded by power.
Zhu Qiyu sneered and asked,""How did the vassal kings react?"
"Your Majesty, the kings of Qin, Qi, Lu, and Huainan have all personally led tens of thousands of soldiers in the name of rescuing the capital.”
"Zhou Wang sent his son to lead the army.”
Tang Jian said truthfully.
According to the teachings of Emperor Taizu, when the Ming Dynasty encountered a disaster, these vassal kings could lead troops to help the king.
The reason why they dared to do this was because they knew that this was in line with the national policy of the Ming Dynasty and the teachings of the Great Ancestor.
"Alright, alright. I was worried that the capital did not have many soldiers to protect it.”
Zhu Qiyu suddenly burst into laughter.
He seemed to have made a decision.
However, he had to deal with the Empress Dowager Sun first.
"Wang Cheng, summon Gao Ping and Xing An.”
"Yes, I am. Your Majesty."
Cining Palace.
These few days, Empress Dowager Sun's complexion was gradually improving.
At this moment, after she finished a bowl of ginseng soup, she dismissed the palace maids around her.
"They should be here by now, right?"
"Yes, Empress Dowager. But there are dozens of armies outside the capital." The plump nanny whispered.
"Hehe, the army of hundreds of thousands is to deal with Wala.”
"At that time, the Imperial Palace will definitely be in a state of panic. This widow will work together from the inside and outside to unite the various vassal kings and the nobles in the capital to control the Imperial Palace.”
"As long as this widow controls the Imperial Palace, this widow will negotiate peace with Wala, no matter what price we have to pay. As long as they send my son back."
"In this way, the Great Ming Emperor is still my son.”
"At that time, aijia will kill that bastard with a cane and poison his mother.”
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Sun felt extremely happy.
However, at this moment, footsteps came from outside the hall.
"It's you guys?"
When she saw the two eunuchs with cold smiles and dozens of Brocade Guards appear in front of her, Empress Dowager Sun finally panicked.
"What are you doing? I am the empress of the late emperor of Ming Dynasty, the current empress dowager.”
"Sun shi, according to the teachings of the Great Ming Emperor, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.”
