Great Qian, Yongxi three years, September 1, Mao three quarters.
In the throne room, hundreds of officials took their seats in order to prepare for the monthly court meeting.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A sharp shout was heard.
All the ministers knelt down and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yong Xi was escorted by a group of palace maids and eunuchs as he walked to the throne and sat down. He waved his hand and said indifferently,"Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did all the officials in the hall raise their heads, straighten their bodies, and stand to the side.
"The flames of war are raging at the border. The 300,000 Northern Expedition Army is fighting 300,000 Tata Cavalry outside Datong Town.”
"Liaodong Town has sent an urgent report. The Jurchen are restless and seem to be mobilizing troops.”
"There is also a report from Gansu Town in the northwest. The Wala army has gathered and intends to support the Tartars.”
"The situation here is critical. Do you have any plans?”
Looking down at the ministers, Emperor Yong Xi had a solemn expression as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Thud!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire hall was deathly silent. Everyone fell into silence.
For such an important military matter, the slightest mistake would result in the destruction of one's family. No one dared to take the risk.
"Could it be that there is no one in my Great Gan that can resolve my worries?”
Seeing all the officials remain silent, a hint of anger rose in Emperor Yong Xi's eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Tingyu, the first official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Grand Secretary of Baohe Hall, and the head of the military and political affairs, suddenly appeared."Your Majesty."
"The Nuzhen and Wala are trying to take advantage of the situation. Our Great Gan has nine important towns on the nine sides, how can they be so easily broken through?”
"The most important thing now is to resolve the war in Datong as soon as possible. As long as the Tartars are forced, the danger of Gansu and Liaodong will be resolved.”
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel Affairs is right. The Battle of Datong has been going on for more than a month. If this drags on, the situation might change.”
The Minister of War, Wei Dongting, said.
"We believe that the Minister of War is right.”
After hearing this, all the officials chimed in.
At this moment, Emperor Yong Xi felt the veins on his forehead throb.
Other than Zhang Tingyu and Wei Dongting who gave some suggestions, the others didn't seem to have brains.
In such a huge court, hundreds of officials were all mediocre people. How sad!
...
At the same time.
Divine Capital, outside Yongding Gate.
A figure dressed in embroidered clothes galloped on a horse. There were three small flags on his back, flapping loudly.
"Good news! Good news! The Northern Expedition Army defeated the Tartars!"
"Good news! Good news! The Northern Expedition Army defeated the Tartars!"
The loud voice resounded through the entire city gate and gradually spread to all parts of the city as the brocade soldiers galloped.
On the central street, countless people retreated.
The Royal Guards rode smoothly into the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty!"
"Great Unity's good news has arrived!"
Su Peicheng, the Prime Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, entered the palace excitedly to report.
What was that?
Hearing this, Emperor Yong Xi suddenly stood up from his throne, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been in the throne for three years and had received many urgent reports. However, he had never heard of any good news. How could he not be shocked when he suddenly heard such words today?
"Your Majesty."
"Da Tong Town sent an urgent report of victory from the Divine Capital.”
"That Embroidered Uniform Guard messenger is waiting outside the hall.”
Su Peicheng quickly added.
"Hurry up! Quickly pass it on!"
Emperor Yong Xi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore and ordered loudly.
"Yes."
The Prime Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Su Peicheng, personally came out to welcome him.
The eyes of all the officials in the throne room were like torches as they stared in the direction of the palace door.
"Ta Ta…"
After a while.
A tired-looking cavalryman of the Royal Guards strode into the hall and bowed.""Centurion Zhou Shun of the Embroidered Guard greets Your Majesty!”
"Stand up and quickly tell me the good news.”
Emperor Yong Xi's face was filled with anxiety, his gaze never leaving the centurion.
Centurion Zhou Shun of the Royal Guards immediately took out a silk book and raised it high."Your Majesty, this is a report personally drafted by the General of Peking University.”
" 15th day of the 8th month, Biaoyao Lieutenant Jia Wei led 3,000 cavalry across the Wuran River and arrived at Langjuxu Mountain. They broke through the Tartar royal court and captured 127 Tartar princes, Prince Zhasaktu, Prince Tuxietu, Tartar Grand Tutor, Pingzhang government affairs, and other high officials and their families.”
"8th month, 29th day, the Northern Expedition Army, the Datong garrison, and the Xuanfu garrison fought the Tartars outside Datong Town.”
" Commander Jia Wei led his men from Mobei to attack the rear of the Tartar army. He killed the Tartar Khan's chariot and captured the golden flag. He defeated the enemy. The army took advantage of the situation and won. Only 30,000 Tartar cavalry escaped, and hundreds of thousands of people died outside Datong Town.”
Boom!
This news shocked the entire throne room.
Datong had won, the Northern Expedition Army had won, the Great Khan of the Tartars had been killed, and the royal court had been destroyed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime victory.
Everyone was tongue-tied. Even Zhang Tingyu could not remain calm.
No one saw a figure among the ministers revealing a horrified expression. He was the Minister of Works, Jia Zheng.
Su Peicheng, the Internal Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, quickly took the report from Zhou Shun and handed it to Emperor Yong Xi.
Emperor Yong Xi couldn't wait to open the report and read it carefully. All the details were in there. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he couldn't hold back his arrogance anymore.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Alright!"
Emperor Yong Xi laughed loudly, his expression extremely excited.
After three years on the throne, he had finally waited for the moment of glory that belonged to him.
He had defeated the Tartars and defeated three hundred thousand enemies. The result of this battle was not inferior to the battle with Yuan Cong. He was no longer the 'puppet' of the Retired Emperor in everyone's eyes.
"Su Peicheng."
"Pass down the decree to reward the army with three million taels of silver and a thousand jars of wine.”
"Commanding General Niu Jizong to lead his army back to the capital to accept the reward.”
Without any hesitation, Emperor Yong Xi quickly issued an edict.
"Yes."
The internal minister of Qianqing Palace immediately asked for an edict and sent a fast horse to Datong.
This news spread throughout the entire Divine Capital, and countless people cheered for it. The name of the Piao Yao Commandant, Jia Wei, also resounded throughout the world.
Everyone knew that the Jia family of the two dukes had another strong person. He ran thousands of miles, broke through the Tartar royal court, captured more than a hundred Tartar nobles, and sealed them as Lang Juxu. Then, he charged out from the north of the desert and killed the enemy leader. Who could compare to such a valiant battle record!
More importantly, Jia Kui was only sixteen years old this year. He was even one year younger than the Wolf Cove's Huo Qubing.
With such a talent, how dare the people of the world not praise him!
