Chapter 917

In fact, it was their only choice to order Guan Ning's iron cavalry to return to Beijing for defense, but Zhou yanru still frowned and said, "in this way, even if the Ningjin defense line is lost and the enemy pounces, what should we do?"

Hearing that the chief assistant was so pedantic, the emperor was speechless. He said, "if the enemy reaches the capital and cuts off our heads, Daming doesn't exist. What's the use of having a Ningjin defense line?"

Zhou yanru said bitterly, "we will become sinners of Daming!"

We will discuss it immediately and order the nine gates of the capital to be on alert and mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized to the city wall.

At the same time, they also urgently issued more than a dozen edicts, ordering all soldiers and horses in the world to be king Qin, and ordering Guan Ning cavalry in Shanhaiguan to rush to the capital as soon as possible, and King Cheng Qin to rescue him.

At the same time, they also ordered Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang in Qihe County in the south of Jishui to immediately send troops back to defend the capital. As for the attack on Shandong and Jinan, don't mention it again. At present, it is mainly to keep the capital. As soon as the capital is finished, it is estimated that Daming will be over.

In fact, many officials now understand that Daming is extremely weak and really terminally ill. They just rule these places by inertia, and the local people also accept the rule by habit.

Once something amazing happened, the rule of Daming collapsed.

Amazing changes refer to the absence of the Ming emperor or the capture of the capital by the enemy. These power symbols do not exist, which means the collapse and destruction of their entire administrative system.

Zhou yanru and others lamented that Liu Bu is indeed an expert in military use. He will be saved if he attacks our death.

Zhou yanru thought of this, and he had a headache. You know, he asked the emperor to lead the troops to resist Liu bu.

The other side is the Chinese army, but Liu Bu, the most powerful of the Chinese army, is not sure of winning at all.

He stood out and was forced to do so. If he didn't stand up, who else could he count on? Daming is at a critical juncture of life and death, so he must bite his scalp.

But when Zhou yanru came to the school yard and saw the soldiers of the three battalions, he was shocked. Daming still retains the organizational system of the three battalions and the twelve regiments, which are the main force to protect the capital.

You know, these troops were very strong and powerful when they were established. The three major battalions swept Mobei and expedited Annan. They were invincible. However, after hundreds of years of stocking, they have become an idle place to raise idle people.

There are a lot of people when paying military salaries and grain. When we really want to dispatch troops to fight, there are some disabled and defeated generals.

Those distinguished childe brothers and honourable men who were born are faster than anyone when they receive military pay, but they are going to go to war. They either call themselves ill or ask for leave.

The school only gathered tens of thousands of disabled and defeated generals, which made Zhou yanru very worried. There were 120000 troops on the roster, but they could only mobilize tens of thousands of people, and they were still old, weak, sick and disabled. They couldn't get a few pairs of armor, and there were few horses. They were very disabled.

Zhou yanru couldn't help getting angry. He angrily scolded the main generals of these camps. He said, "the imperial court spends so much money and food every year. Can't you support a group of garbage soldiers?"

You know, these soldiers are not easy to provoke. There was a senior general who openly contradicted him. He said, "what does the old cabinet mean? You think we are old, weak, sick and vulnerable, so you go to war and we'll go home by ourselves."

This sentence made Zhou yanru half angry. At this time, he realized that it was not the time for him to choose the army, but the army was challenging him.

Zhou yanru sighed with impatience: he has suffered from military training for a hundred years and has no useful soldiers in battle, so he also said to the main generals of these camps: "As a noble emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have been blessed by the emperor for many years. You and the imperial court have both prospered and suffered losses. Today, the traitors are coming to the city. We can only keep our wealth in front of us if we take up the sword and fight back the enemy. If we just hide in the city and fear life and death, one day, the Chinese thieves will attack Beijing, and you will lose your head. Today, I personally lead you We will set out to fight side by side with you and die together. We hope you will be loyal to serve the country and fight hard to kill the enemy. "

After saying these words, even Zhou yanru felt that he was not confident enough. With their group of people, he went to deal with Liu Bu, the most powerful Chinese army in the world. He was really afraid of hitting the wolf with a hemp pole.

And worse things happened. After Zhou yanru said these impassioned words, the officials didn't seem enthusiastic and swear in response. Instead, they asked one after another, "it's not difficult for the old cabinet to ask me to work hard. What about our military pay, development fee and resettlement fee?"

Zhou yanru could not help feeling a sense of sadness in his heart. These generals have been soldiers for generations and have received the grace of the emperor. In the autumn of the imperial dynasty, when he hoped that they would go to war and save the imperial court, they dared to stretch out their hands and ask the Imperial court for money. They wanted to set up a family. If they didn't give money, they wouldn't send troops?

These days, the state treasury of the Ming Dynasty has starved to death. Zhou Tingru, who is the head and assistant, has no ability to get money. He just leads the troops and goes out to fight the enemy based on a temporary sense of responsibility and righteous anger. The imperial court happily accepts his offer, allows him to fight the enemy and grants authority to dispatch the troops of the three major battalions and the twelve regiments of the capital to fight the enemy.

However, neither the Minister of household nor the emperor mentioned a problem, that is, how to solve the military pay.

Now these soldiers have learned well and are smart. They have no starting fee, no settlement fee, and refuse to send troops. Even if they are a group of disabled soldiers and defeated generals, everyone knows that it is impossible to expect them to fight, but they still ask for what they should, and they are not willing to lower their value at all.

As a result, these officers came together. It was like he asked for 500000 liang of military pay. Without 500000 Liang, they refused to send troops to die.

Now even these soldiers say that they are so pessimistic that they are not going to fight, but to die. If they die, they have to give money to die.

When Zhou yanru was in a dilemma, Xu Jianqiang, who was beaten by him with a swollen face and a blue nose, arrived. He also brought hundreds of porters and carriages and brought a lot of silver, which was the pay for the army.

Xu Jianqiang was beaten by Zhou yanru. His face was swollen and his nose was blue. One leg was almost broken and he walked around. But he also knew that it was time for life and death. He had to give all the money he found to the army to fight the enemy.

Xu Jianqiang also understood that with this group of garbage, it was impossible to fight against Liu Jiajun. Going there was to die, but Xu Jianqiang just wanted them to die, let them be meat shields, delay the time for the Chinese army to enter the army, and give the Ming army and Yang Sichang Department of Hong Chengchou back to the capital to fight for time.

That's why he wanted these people to work hard and die, so he generously took out his money and let them out. Xu Jianqiang sneered at these damn garbage soldiers. It's hard for you to come back when you get out of the capital.

Zhou yanru didn't understand Xu Jianqiang's little abacus. When he saw this man, he got a large amount of silver at this time. He couldn't help liking him. Although he knew that Xu Jianqiang's silver was to raid these ministers, copy countless people's homes, and kill countless people's hard-earned money, which smelled of blood from beginning to end.

But these bloody money did play a great role at a critical time. Without these silver, these soldiers dare not go out to war.

If it was in peacetime, Xu Jianqiang made great contributions, but now, it is also a critical moment of life and death. Daming has such a tragic situation today, which is also related to Xu Jianqiang's wrong practice. Therefore, Zhou yanru didn't like it. He just nodded and ordered the officer to sign for the silver.

Zhou yanru also knew that the officers' hands were very black. It was estimated that half of the silver would be embezzled when it was in their hands. These soldiers were embezzled and refused to go to war.

Zhou yanru did not dare to give the silver to these officers. Instead, he ordered people to put the silver in the barracks in public, and then let the soldiers pick it up by themselves. After receiving it, he established a state of life and death and had to send troops to fight.

Zhou yanru's practice is very clever. It avoids the corruption of the officers. The soldiers have some good feelings. The soldiers fight with their lives. As long as the money is not trapped and embezzled, they are still very happy in their hearts.

It was just this style, but the officers were angry. Many people wanted to take advantage of the last moment to make a lot of money. Seeing that the wind was wrong, they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and left. As a result, Zhou yanru came to do it. They had no chance to do it at all. This made the officers very angry and scolded Zhou yanru for being mean, ungrateful and ignorant.

Zhou yanru did not dare to neglect, but he knew that hundreds of thousands of enemy troops were going straight to the capital. If he did not send troops quickly, he was afraid that the enemy would be under the city. After paying military salaries, he immediately began to lead these troops out of the city and march towards Tianjin Wei.

Zhou yanru also knew that the three armed forces did not move, and the food and grass went first. In fact, sending troops as impatient as they did violated the great taboo of military experts, but they are burning their eyebrows now. Just for the moment, he knew that if they do not send troops quickly and let these soldiers recover, they are afraid they will not send troops.

But as long as we take them out of the city and close the gate, they can't even think of going to Tianjin Wei.

As for food, the Ministry of household has promised him that it will quickly raise some military influence and food for him for follow-up.

Therefore, they had no choice but to quickly lead this army to Tianjin Wei.
