: Departure

The officials of Yue Party followed suit, and of course other officials also stood up, saying that if Yue Su personally led the troops there, they would be able to succeed immediately.

After all, there are not many officials in Beijing who can lead troops now, and everyone does not hope that the Ming Dynasty will collapse. They hope that someone can stand up and stand up for a while. The officials of the Donglin Party, headed by Han Xu,

They only want to see Yue Su's jokes. For them, it is best for Yue Su to go up and suffer defeat. Moreover, Han Xu wants Yue Su to leave the capital more than anyone else. If Yue Su wants to be in the cabinet, his words are no different from farts.

If Yue Su leaves, he will definitely have some say in the court. Maybe he can take advantage of Yue Su's departure to seize some rights.

All the officials had their own thoughts, but everyone unanimously hoped that Yue Su would send an army. When the Huangji Palace became quiet, Zhu Ciyan looked at Yue Su and said: "Yue Qing's family, are you confident that we will send an army to defeat the invaders this time?"

"Back to Your Majesty..." Yue Su stood up and bowed and said: "When leading an army, no one is sure of victory, but I will do my best to fight the bandits to the death. Someone gave me a piece of nanmu the day before yesterday, and I have already

Use this piece of nanmu to build a city coffin, and serve it with the army when you go out on an expedition. If you cannot destroy the bandits, I swear not to return to the court!"

Yue Su's voice was sonorous and powerful, and Zhu Ciyan's mood was lifted. Not to mention him, many of the officials in the hall were excited. The news that Mr. Yue had received Nanmu had spread throughout Beijing. Unexpectedly,

After Lord Yue accepted it, he actually built a coffin to take with him on an expedition. Such a broad-mindedness is rare in the world. Many of those party officials unknowingly tended to Yue Su's side. I hope from the bottom of my heart, Yue Su

Able to defeat rogue bandits.

Many officials probably had some idea who sent the nanmu. Those Yanguan and Qingliu were most likely bewitched by the Donglin Party. After hearing what Yue Su said, the officials of the three parties in Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang could not help but secretly provoke

Thumbs up, I admire Yue Su from the bottom of my heart. Qi Shijiao is even more impressed with his admiration. He feels that cooperating with Yue Su should be the wisest choice. Compared with them, Han Xu and other Donglin Party members feel ashamed and regretful in their hearts.

Their regret was not that they felt they were wrong, but that they felt that they were being a villain and actually made Yue Su's reputation better.

"My father was right. The Yue Qing family is indeed the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. My father has chosen the ministers of Tuogu." Zhu Ciyan said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, I have invited you to go out, and today I will present the order to the emperor. I can't say for sure whether I can come back alive this time, but I will not hesitate even if my body is wrapped in horse leather. This order may be presented to you personally by me.

The Emperor’s last chapter!”

After Yue Su finished speaking, he took out a memorial from his sleeves and raised his hands above his head.

"Send it over quickly!" Zhu Ciyan said loudly.

After the words were said, a young eunuch hurriedly ran over, took this chapter from Yue Su, and sent it to Zhu Ciyan. After Zhu Ciyan took it, he started to look at it. There were not many words on the apprenticeship list, but Zhu Ciyan read it very carefully.

After that, water could not help but flow from the corners of his eyes. Even though Zhu Ciyan was young and came to the throne at a young age, he received a good education. Of course, he could understand Yue Su's example.

"Qing Jiaguo is my loyal minister, my father's confidant, and he has lived up to his father's trust in the Qing family. Liu Mingguo..." Zhu Cizhen picked up the apprenticeship list and said: "You can read the Yuan Dynasty to all the Qing family.

Your dedication and devotion to duty are comparable to those of Zhuge Kongming, and you are indeed a model for all officials."

"This slave obeys the order." Liu Mingguo, who was standing next to Zhu Ciyan, carefully took this chapter, unfolded it, and read it aloud.

"I am a carpenter in the mountains, specializing in chiseling and painting, and I make a living by doing it. The late emperor thought highly of me, and he did not mind my talent as an axe. He awarded me the rank of Jinshi and the title of "Jinshi". I was grateful and allowed the emperor to drive me. Later.

His old father died of illness, and Ding You returned to his hometown. Your Majesty seized the opportunity to return to his hometown, and made him governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. I acted recklessly and betrayed the holy family. Your Majesty did not pursue any investigation, but still entrusted you with important tasks. Your Majesty also returned to the center to handle the affairs of the military and state.

I am deeply grateful. Now that the country is in turmoil and foreign captives are present, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, instead of thinking about loyalty to the emperor, rebelled and conspired to rebel, harassing the local area, and trying to spy on the artifact. As the saying goes, in order to fight against foreigners, we must first calm down the internal affairs. Weak ministers are not talented.

I wish to send my troops south and join forces with Chuang Ni in Luoyang to repay the late emperor for his kindness in knowing me and His Majesty's kindness in using him. Now I will build a coffin of my own and serve with the army. If the bandits are not destroyed, I swear not to return to the court..."

Liu Mingguo read it so vividly that Zhu Ciyan couldn't help but be moved when he listened to it again. There were many loyal people among the officials, and they were all moved after hearing Yue Su's instructions. When Liu Mingguo finished reading, the ministers said with emotion one by one:

"Master Yue is worthy of being an important minister of the three dynasties and a minister of the late emperor Tuogu. He is indeed a role model for us. Please accept our respects."

Under the leadership of some officials, all the civil and military officials in the hall bowed to Yue Su and saluted. Even the chief minister, Han Xu, was not allowed to lower his head in such an atmosphere. The officials saluted Yue Su and ordered

What people didn't expect was that at this time, Zhu Ciyan actually stood up on the dragon throne and bowed deeply to Yue Su, "Yue Qing family, I also want to thank you here. I hope you can succeed immediately.

Defeat the rogue bandits and regain the lost territory."

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Zhu Ciyan salute him, Yue Su quickly knelt down on the ground, "It is the duty of a minister to fight against the invaders. How dare you accept your majesty's gift? It is really killing the minister. Please hurry up, your majesty."

Take it back quickly."

"The Qing family can afford this tribute from me!" Zhu Ciyan stood where he was and said sincerely: "The Yue Qing family will accept the title!"

"Chen Yue Su is here..."

"Today I confer upon Yue Su the title of Bachelor of Wenhua Palace, the title of Grand Master to the Crown Prince, the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, Shang Fang's sword, the king's flag, the governor of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and the military affairs of seven provinces.

, preside over the plan to suppress bandits. But for all matters related to suppressing bandits, you need to ask for orders first, and you have the right to act expediently." Zhu Ciyan said loudly.

"Chen Yuesu thanks the Lord for his kindness..."

He was in charge of the military affairs of seven provinces, so this time, Zhu Ciyan basically handed over all the military power in the north to Yue Su. His power was unprecedented and unprecedented. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no official has had such power as

Yue Su is even bigger.

When all the officials heard that the emperor had given Yue Su such great power, they were all a little confused. They didn't know whether the emperor had thought about this decision in advance or acted on the spot. But it is estimated that more than 90% of it was discussed with the Queen Mother.

.

Indeed, it was Zhang Yan's decision to give Yue Su such a high official position. Zhang Yan had naturally heard about Master Yue's acceptance of the nanmu, and Dongchang also found out that Yue Su was using the nanmu to kill people at home.

She was ready to carry the coffin and go to war. With such a broad mind and loyalty to the emperor, Zhang Yan naturally could no longer be suspicious. She understood that when the country was facing a national crisis, only the monarch and his ministers could work together to avert the danger. Since Yue Su was the late emperor's trusted entrustment officer

Sir, why can't I have the same broad-mindedness as the late emperor?

After receiving the title, Yue Su left the army three days later.

During these three days, Yue Su sent fast horses to convey orders to Shandong, Shanxi, Huguang, Tianjin, and Fujian.

Wu Rumeng, the governor of Shandong, was ordered to mobilize troops and horses and rush to Puyang within five days to obey the order. Wu Sinan, the governor of Xuanda, was ordered to mobilize troops and horses to Lu'an Mansion within five days to obey the order.

In Xiangyang, he followed orders all the way to Wuchang. He ordered Kong Youde, the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy, to lead the warships of the navy into the Yellow River along the canal. He ordered Mao Youjian, the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Navy, to lead the warships to enter the Yellow River and obey the order.

After all the arrows were sent out, Yue Su swore an oath, and Emperor Zhu Ciyan personally performed it for Yue Su. Only then did Yue Su lead 50,000 troops, set off from Beijing, and arrived in Anyang ten days later.

Anyang belongs to Zhili and Henan. As soon as he arrived, Yue Su received news that Wu Rumeng's troops had arrived in Puyang, which was only a hundred miles away from Anyang. Wu Sinan's troops had also arrived at Lu'an Mansion, but Wu Sinan did not come in person.

, this was what Yue Su meant. Wu Sinan sent Sima Qiaoyu with 40,000 troops to join them. Mao Youjian's navy had already entered the Yellow River and was ready to join the battle at any time.

In addition to the news from his own side, Yue Su also received news from the rogue bandits. Zhengzhou fell, King Zheng was killed, and after the rogue bandits broke through the city, they immediately attacked eastward to open the city.

When Yue Su got the news, he immediately went to the military tent to discuss the matter.

The generals under him, in addition to Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, Hu Zi and others, there are also several generals brought from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion in Beijing. The official titles given by the court are either generals or deputy generals.

But in front of Lord Yue, they basically didn't even have the courage to gasp loudly. However, due to their rank, they had to sit on top of Jin Chan and others.

Yue Susheng sat in the military tent, glanced at the generals, and said: "The rogue bandits are now attacking Kaifeng. You are all generals who have experienced battles for a long time. What do you think of the current situation?"

"Commander Qi, the general believes that we should immediately send our troops to Kaifeng, cooperate with the troops in Kaifeng City, and eliminate the main force of the rogue bandits." The speaker was Deputy General Jiao Xiang, who served in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but in this life

I have never fought in a battle, but I have read a lot of military books. I think that rushing over and attacking from both inside and outside is a good strategy.

They all came from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. After hearing this, the other generals nodded their heads in support of Jiao Xiang's suggestion.

Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "Haven't you seen any of the battle reports from the front line? When the rogue bandits attacked Xingyang, the troops in Kaifeng and Zhengzhou sat idly by and allowed the rogue bandits to capture Xingyang. Let's focus on this.

Even if our army rushes to Kaifeng, it will be impossible for us to cooperate inside and outside. We will only fight to the death with the main force of the rogue bandits as soon as they come up. The rogue bandits Li Zicheng has strong troops and horses. If we fight head-on, what do you think our army has a chance of winning?

You must know that the troops and horses in our hands are the last main force of Zhili. If we are defeated, Li Chuang is likely to take advantage of the victory and pursue it and take Beijing directly."

After Yue Su finished speaking, all the generals fell silent. This battle is of great importance and cannot be lost. Moreover, the rogue bandits now have more than 400,000 troops, several times the number of officers and soldiers. In a head-on fight, it is difficult to say who will lose and who will win.
