Chapter 195: The Imperial Commander 4

After receiving the reminder from the third prince, when Emperor Yingzong mentioned the issue of personal expedition again the next day, Yu Qian did not object. Although he was worried about the third prince's statement that the emperor would be captured by the personal expedition, as the third prince said, the emperor's personal expedition was already a matter of being nailed on the bench. He was just a minister of the Ministry of War. Even if he was obeying the death, he would not have any effect except for accompanying his life for nothing. After all, Emperor Yingzong is not Tangzong or Song Zu.

However, Yingzong was a little surprised that Yu Qian did not object to this time. Seeing that he was silent, he said strangely: "Yu Aiqing, are you not objecting this time?"

Yu Qian did not hesitate at the moment, and gave Liezi and said respectfully: "Do you not object?"

“Why?”

Yingzong said a little strangely, looking at Yu Qian with interest. Even Wang Zhen next to him wanted to know how Yu Qian spoke. Yesterday there was information that Yu Qian went to the Third Prince's Mansion, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about. This morning, this person's attitude made a big turn, which made Wang Zhen very interested in their conversation at the General's Mansion yesterday. However, the general's mansion, which seemed ordinary, was actually very cautious, and even the elite spies from the East Factory could not get in at all. So now Wang Zhen could only pin his hopes on Yu Qian, hoping to get some reliable news from his words.

As for Wu Yong and others, they are now full of sarcasm towards Yu Qian, and naturally think that Yu Qian's actions yesterday are just showing off, and at the same time, they are also a little proud.

Yu Qian was asked by Emperor Yingzong, and he did not hesitate at the moment, saying: "The emperor is wise and powerful. He will naturally escape when he personally attacks this thorn. It is best to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting. However, this people can live a stable life earlier. After I went back to think about it for a night last night, I realized that I was short-sighted and did not understand the emperor's good intentions. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, he knocked on the ground and waited for Yingzong to fall. But Yu Qian was a little depressed at this time. Although this flattery was not a big deal, he still couldn't accept it in his heart for a while.

Yingzong heard this very useful. He smiled slightly and said, "Yu Aiqing, keep calm."

Yu Qian immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the emperor!" After saying that, he slowly started fighting, ignoring the ridiculous gazes of Wu Yong and those who were the ones, he returned to his original position.

Wang Zhen next to Emperor Yingzong showed a little disappointment on his face. He had heard a lot of Yu Qian's words that were almost slap in his arms. Now he was tired of it. He thought Yu Qian could say something, but he didn't expect to say it.

But Kuang Kun looked at Yu Qian with some confusion, and Bugui did not object to Yu Qian's non-opposition or raise any objections.

So, the matter of Yingzong's personal expedition was settled without much effort.

It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to personally fight. This matter has been decided. The entire court was like an efficient machine and finally started to move efficiently again. Several departments of the court began to move for the personal fight of Emperor Yingzong. Food, grass, soldiers, and so on began to gather in the capital. In less than a few days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had already gathered outside the capital.

In the capital, a large number of refugees poured in during this period, which made the officers guarding the city very troubled. They were not allowed to enter the city. They were unable to bear it. They were allowed to enter the city. There were immediately more beggars in the city, and the number of fighting and troubles was increasing. Moreover, the food supply of these refugees was a big burden, and they had to report it. Wang Zhen was afraid that Yingzong knew about it, so he issued an order not to allow a refugee to enter the city. As for the life and death of these refugees, he would not care. The guardian official had no choice but to faithfully fulfill the order. Although these refugees gathered outside the city, many of them might lose their lives because of illness and lack of food, but who cares?

The people in the capital do not understand what war is. When they heard that the Wassat attacked the Ming Dynasty, their reaction was almost the same as those ministers in the court, which was indignation and then mocking. After all, the Ming Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven. If it was attacked by a small Wassat, it was no less than being slapped in the face. With the gathering of the imperial army, they also firmly believed that when the imperial army arrived, the Wassat fled when they heard the news and was defeated without fighting.

As for the court, they are busy now. First, the border reports are constantly coming, but there is almost no good news. They are all lost, they are being captured, the people are displaced, etc. However, most of these reports were intercepted by Wang Zhen. In his opinion, as long as the court's troops left, they will naturally be defeated and run back to the tile in shame. Second, the emperor personally fought for the expedition, and a large number of civil and military officials were to follow. In addition, there are imperial chefs, palace maids, eunuchs, etc., so naturally they have to choose people. Moreover, Yingzong said that he would go to the expedition immediately. Seeing that all this was not ready now, he felt very unhappy. The emperor was unhappy, how could the ministers below go there? For a moment, the whole court was in chaos and chaos. The ministers were calling their parents in their stomachs, but everyone was a literati, so they naturally didn't say it.

Two days later, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered, waiting for food and grass. The so-called troops were going to move before the food and grass was launched. They had to prepare the food and grass in advance before they were sent. However, because the attack of the Wasan Sect suddenly and Yingzong was also in person, it was not easy to prepare the food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops in a short time. Moreover, a lot of food had to be transported from other places. Now it is summer again, and it often rains. When it rains, the speed of food and grass transporting the food and grass was much slower. Although these soldiers with transportation volume racked their brains, the food and grass transported to the capital could not meet the use of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Accompanied by many ministers in the court, Yingzong, standing on the city wall, looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered outside the city. It was the lion of the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the ocean of flags fluttering in the wind, Yingzong was proud. In his mind, he naturally had the scene of taking these troops to conquer the city and sweeping the tile thorns. But when he heard that the food and grass were not prepared, Yingzong was happy, and he felt like a basin of ice water was broken. His face suddenly sank. He slapped the city wall hard and said angrily: "Why haven't it been prepared yet? How many days have it been? It takes so much time to prepare hundreds of thousands of troops for food and grass?"

"Don't calm down!"

Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Due to the sudden gathering of troops, the food and grass in various places cannot cope with it. Moreover, it often rained during this period. The road transporting food and grass was muddy, which affected the speed of grain transport. Moreover, the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is not a small amount. It is really not easy to prepare it in a short time. Please check it out?"

"I don't care about this!"

Yingzong waved his hand a little angrily and said angrily: "Now the thorns have hit the door of their house. You are still here without any preparation. Do you really want the thorns to attack the capital? Then my hundreds of thousands of troops will fight to the death with them? Pass my oral order, and the army will set off tomorrow."

When Yu Qian heard this, his face changed and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not. The so-called "soldiers" will take the food and grass before the troops move, and the food consumed by hundreds of thousands of troops in a day is not a small amount. If you are not prepared enough, you will go to the battle. Once the food and grass are not supplied later, we will be disorganized before the battle is fought. I hope the emperor will endure it for a few days. Once the food and grass are ready, we can go to the battle."

Yingzong was a little displeased and said in a deep voice: "How long will it take?"

"Ten days!"

Yu Qian immediately said, "Just take another ten days, the food and grass can be prepared."

Emperor Yingzong's face darkened and said angrily: "Ten days? No, I will go to war tomorrow.:

"emperor!"

Yu Qian was a little anxious and was about to speak, but Wang Zhen next to him said: "Mr. Yu, I don't know if you have ever thought about it. These hundreds of thousands of troops were parked under this capital city, and the amount of food they would eat from people and horses a day. Not to mention anything else, it would cost 300,000 kilograms a day, but it would cost 3 million kilograms in ten days. This is not a small amount. On the contrary, if this army went to war, the thorn would have been driven away one day. Then wouldn't this food be saved?"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Yingzong couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "That's the reason. To go to the battle tomorrow, it's decided. As for food and grass, just send it to the transport officials directly to the team. Why keep it here? If you are stabbed by the thorns, you will find that our hundreds of thousands of troops are actually sitting here waiting for food, wouldn't it be laughed out loud?"

As soon as Emperor Yingzong finished speaking, the ministers around him knelt down and shouted, "The emperor is wise."

Yu Qian was also pulled by the people behind him and couldn't help but kneel down. Looking at the proud Yingzong, Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh, and immediately understood that the third prince said that the emperor would be defeated in his own battle. As for the current situation, this was entirely possible. Moreover, in order to make his own contribution, many generals were his confidants this time, and they were definitely a fool in fighting. It's okay to brag, but it's absolutely impossible to fight in marches.
