"Understood!"
Yu Qian cupped his hands and said.
Zhu Qiyu, no, Li Shimin, the King of Hun, issued a series of military arrangements.
For example, he gathered the people around the capital and sent people to cut down all the trees within ten li.
The Wala army was almost certain to arrive at the city.
He did not leave any supplies for the enemy, so that the enemy could not easily use local materials to create siege weapons.
"Understood!"
Orders were issued one after another, causing the ministers present to recover from their panic and feel more at ease.
King Hun's image grew bigger and bigger in everyone's eyes.
Power wasn't something you could control just because you were in a position.
It was because the subordinates listened to you that you could sit firmly in this position.
"Understood!"
Li Shiming had spent an hour to turn the empty position of a country supervisor into actual power!
The Bureau of Military Personnel, Bureau of Revenue, Bureau of Punishments, and Bureau of Personnel had all been mobilized to participate in the upcoming battle to defend the capital!
Empress Dowager Sun, who was being made a figurehead, quickly came back to her senses.
After the military deployment was completed, he said impatiently.
"King Hun, His Majesty is still in the hands of the enemy leader!
No matter how much gold and silver, he must save His Majesty!”
It was also the Grand Preceptor of the Wala Army who had become a threat to the Ming Empire in recent years.
The Battle of Earthwood Fortress was planned by him.
However, he definitely didn't expect a pie to fall from the sky!
He was actually able to capture the Great Ming Emperor!
"Empress Dowager, Imperial Brother is hunting in the north.
Ye Xian definitely wouldn't let her go so easily. Gold and silver wouldn't be enough to satisfy him.
All we can do is defend the capital first, then make plans later.”
Empress Dowager Sun wanted to say something but hesitated. No matter what, Zhu Qizhen was still his biological son!
Just thinking about the other party's situation made her so worried that she couldn't sleep!
He regretted not stopping the other party from personally leading the army!
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. She could only swallow the bitter fruit of doting.
"Right now, this is the only way.”
Empress Dowager Sun wiped her tears and suppressed the words in her heart again.
She was a woman and the Empress Dowager of Ming Dynasty.
She didn't want the tragedy of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty to happen in the Ming Dynasty.
Not only had the Emperor been captured, but the capital had also been breached by the Outsiders!
Then Da Ming would not be far from destruction!
Li Shiming looked outside. It was almost dawn.
It had been four hours since he was urgently called over at midnight.
"Alright, sirs, quickly make the arrangements.
After the documents were issued, they would discuss the specific city defense regulations.”
"Understood!"
The ministers didn't expect King Hun to step out at this critical moment.
The series of orders were thorough and appropriate, making them feel admiration.
"We will take our leave!"
After the ministers left, Li Shi Min pretended to cup his hands.
"Empress Dowager, why don't you go and rest for a while and wait for the ministers to discuss before coming back.”
From the bottom of his heart, he despised Zhu Qizhen and his son.
The fine Darming Dynasty had become like this in the hands of the mother and son!
He favored and trusted eunuchs, and the eunuchs 'party was the most powerful.
The court was corrupt and rampant inside and outside, ignoring border affairs and lax military preparations.
"King Hun, you must save His Majesty.”
Empress Dowager Sun was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn't dare to imagine how difficult Zhu Qizhen's days would be in the enemy camp.
How would those uncivilized enemy chieftains of the grasslands in the north mistreat her own son!
"Don't worry, your son will do his best to save Imperial Brother!”
In terms of acting, Li Shi Min was not bad at all.
During the reign of Li Yuan, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng saw him as a thorn in his flesh and constantly attacked him.
He blocked all the hidden arrows inside and outside the court.
"Sigh."
Empress Dowager Sun sighed and left the hall, still a little suspicious.
Could it be that the other party's past silkpants behavior was all an act?
Was he waiting for this moment to seize power?
However, she didn't see Li Shiming's disdainful gaze behind her.
"If only they were here."
Li Shiming thought to himself. If Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were here…
Even if there was one.
The current situation would be much better. There was no need to be so restrained!
The king who was in charge of the country was far from being able to do what he wanted.
If it wasn't for the sudden bad news, the officials might not have been so obedient.
After that, Li Shimin gathered the reports from the Bureau of Military Personnel for the past month, as well as the information on the garrison troops, rations, and equipment of the various provinces.
His predecessor was usually just playing around and rarely asked about political affairs.
To deal with the hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalrymen, one had to know their enemy first.
However, when he saw the first report, Li Shiming was so angry that he laughed!
So he thought that the original body's brother Zhu Qizhen was just ambitious but lacked talent.
He didn't expect the other party to be a pure trash, an idiot!
The report from the Ministry of War stated clearly that Zhu Qizhen had issued an edict on the 15th day of the seventh month.
However, the army set off only two days later!
Under the same circumstances, Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling would assist him.
Li Shi Min still needed 20 days to prepare, or at least half a month.
Zhu Qizhen, that idiot, only used two days to set out with the army.
One could imagine the state of the preparation of rations and armaments.
The situation of the army's movements could be described as a lump of ***!
From the capital to Xuancheng Datong, the soldiers who starved to death and froze to death were in the tens of thousands!
The second report was even clearer.
On the march, the wind and rain were mixed, the morale of the soldiers was low, and corpses covered the wilderness.
In the end, they reached their destination after much difficulty, but Zhu Qizhen was afraid of the Wala army, so he was terrified.
Before the battle even began, he was preparing to flee back to the capital.
Halfway through their escape, they would be surrounded and annihilated by the other party!
Li Shimin flipped through the war reports of the Ministry of War for the past month and only saw two words between the lines.
Idiot!
There was actually such a good-for-nothing emperor in the world!
