Chapter 294: Hurry back to Beijing

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." As soon as he fell to his knees, Yiming presented a copy of the recital that his subordinates had just handed to him. From beginning to end, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at the emperor's face.

"Why did Yi Aiqing make this big gift, hurry up." Zhu Qiyu was in a very good mood, so much so that his attitude towards Yiming was much kinder than usual. But when he saw the other party kneeling on the ground, he was still taken aback. The Ming Dynasty paid attention to ruling the world with scholars, and unless there was a guilty body, there was no need to kneel and bow when meeting alone.

Jin Ying, the chief eunuch who also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, walked down the steps, took the piece sent by Yiming in his hand, and transferred it to Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu, who took over the concert, had already changed slightly. "I don't know what kind of performance book makes Yi Aiqing so anxious..."As if to cheer himself up, when he said this, the music fold was also opened, and then he saw a scene of great changes on the face of the young Emperor Daizong.

It was written that more than 10,000 wounded soldiers of the Ming Army, who were supposed to return to Beijing the day before yesterday, suddenly disappeared. They were all attacked and wounded on the way from Jingshi to Tianjin Wei, and they were originally ordered by Governor Shiheng to return from outside Langfang to Jingshi. But until now there is no news, in order to confirm this news, the military department has sent five groups of fast horse scouts to look for it, but there is still no news, so it was written into a book and sent to Shang Shuyiming.

After Yi Ming got this conclusion, where did he dare to have a trace of slackness, and hurriedly entered the palace to meet the saint. At this time, his head was very low, he knew very well what this meant, how bad the situation would be, how heavy his dereliction of duty was, where would he dare to look up at Zhu Qiyu's eyes at this moment.

"Smack!" It fell from the Jinluan Hall like a fly, and smashed into Yiming's head, and then Zhu Qiyu's roar also sounded, "What's going on here?" More than 10,000 wounded, even if it is 10,000 pigs, it is impossible to be so silent, right? You give me an explanation. ”

Zhu Qiyu's temper has always been good, and he rarely loses his temper in front of his courtiers. But now, he has to get angry, if the twist is true, then it is likely that the Japanese army not only did not disappear, but should have approached the land of Jingshi, in other words, the second battle to defend Jingshi is likely to start.

put his head very low, and scolded Shi Heng from head to toe in his heart. If it weren't for this person's great joy, the military department would not be paralyzed by this. Now it's a good thing that nearly 10,000 wounded people have disappeared out of thin air, and this blame has all fallen on the military department and on their own heads.

Listening to the emperor's questioning, Yiming wanted to raise his head and say something several times, but in the end he still didn't speak. He has no way to explain something like this, and forcibly justifying it will only make the emperor's anger even greater.

"Find! Scatter all the people for me, and you must find these wounded soldiers, and besides... Notify the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to strengthen the gate of the Beijing Division to prevent accidents. Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes as he spoke, he had a bad premonition, the so-called Shi Heng victory may not be very real, and he was probably fooled.

As if he had been amnestied, Yi Ming agreed repeatedly, and then crawled out of the main hall like this. As soon as he left the palace, the entire scout camp of the military department was busy, but all the scouts at home, as long as they could still move, were scattered out.

Not only the military department, Yiming also ordered Jin Ying and asked Jinyiwei and the secret agents of Dongchang to also go out to find people. These people are the best at finding clues in the clues.

At the moment, the people of the military department, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei began to get busy. Under the joint efforts of the three parties, soon, in the afternoon, a new discovery was made, and in a low-lying area next to the official road in the direction of Langfang, hundreds of Ming soldiers were found. It was confirmed that it should be Shi Hengdudu's subordinates, who escorted more than 300 Japanese "prisoners of war" back to Beijing to take prisoners, but unexpectedly, some of them died here.

Needless to say, the matter was naturally done by Yang Chendong.

His aim this time was not only to create a tense atmosphere before the war, but also to strengthen his position and influence. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to provoke a war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan.

With the ordinary behavior of the Ming Dynasty and the influence of their belief in Confucianism, it is tantamount to getting them to take the initiative to fight, which is tantamount to climbing to the sky. Yang Chendong's ambition is to let the Han people in the world stand at the top of the world, so that the Han people in the world can get the greatest respect and dignity, and the country of Japan, which is very close, has naturally been drawn in the sketch of the war.

It's just that I really want to wait until the cold front takes shape and has enough numbers and huge combat power, and I don't know how long it will take. Yang Chendong, who has always had the idea of seizing the day, thought of this method, first tested the Japanese country, and at the same time saw what strength they had, it also happened to weaken their strength and lay a solid foundation for future expeditions.

In order to achieve this goal, the more than 300 Japanese businessmen and ordinary people stationed in Daming must let go of a group and let them return to Japan to publicize the matter, so naturally these people will not be allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty as so-called prisoners of war.

This is where the Battle of the Raid is called. Originally, I thought that I would win this battle without blood, but at most, some Ming troops would be slightly injured and temporarily lose their combat strength. Unexpectedly, some of the Ming soldiers in charge of escorting turned out to be Shi Heng's personal soldiers, they dared to resist desperately, in desperation, Kaohsiung had murderous intentions, and dealt with all its diehards here.

After cleaning up the war, after stuffing the bow and arrow in the gun hole of the original body, he was still unwilling to light another fire, which was considered to be the destruction of the corpse, Kaohsiung ordered people to send these Japanese people to the sea, and told them that this time it was the mercenaries who intervened to help them.

Takao would not let go of such an opportunity when he should have made a gesture of goodwill, so that it would be much easier to accept Japanese warships in the future.

After this scene was discovered, the news soon flew back to the Jingshi. At this moment, because of Yang Bao, the ordinary people also knew the news of Shi Hengdudu's victory, and they were happily talking about it, and they were all happy, when suddenly the twelve gates of the Beijing division were closed in advance, and it was claimed that there were secret agents of the Japanese army who had entered the Beijing division and needed to be rounded up.

But the next large-scale roundup did not appear, but there were many more Ming troops under the city wall, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses could be seen everywhere on the streets of the city.

The atmosphere in Jingshi suddenly became tense, and all of this was due to Zhu Qiyu's imperial decree. After learning that the Japanese prisoners of war had indeed been snatched away, Zhu Qiyu, who had been worried since becoming the emperor, ordered to step up the defense of the Beijing Division, and at the same time ordered the horse to leave the city quickly, informing Shi Heng that once the situation of Tianjin Wei was stabilized, he should quickly return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation.

Shi Heng is the governor of the army, in charge of the army's affairs, and he can be regarded as a veteran of the killing field, if he does not come back to guard, Zhu Qiyu is really a little relieved.

The fast horse galloped all the way, and it took a night to come to Tianjin Wei early the next morning, when Shi Heng's army was making breakfast, and it was not yet time to fire. The governor saw the herald sent by the military headquarters.

"What? And the remnants of the Japanese army, who may well endanger the safety of the Kyoshi? Shi Heng had just put on a coat and came to the main hall when a piece of news came from his ears that surprised him so much.

"Yes, Lord Governor. This is the emperor's will. While the herald nodded in agreement, he took out an imperial decree from his bosom and respectfully sent it to Shi Heng.

This is not a holy decree, but it is a letter written by Zhu Qiyu himself. On it, it is written that the Beijing division is in danger, and the governor hopes that the capital will return to the Beijing division as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation of the city defense.

The eagerness of the tone and the sincerity of the language have shaped Shi Heng into a pillar of the country.

Shi Heng looked at this secret letter from the emperor's cronies, and his heart was excited. This is the emperor's trust and reliance, he didn't blame him for making some mistakes, and his words were so sincere, how could he not do his best. That's the case, what I didn't say, of course, I will return to the capital immediately, as for the defense of Tianjin Wei, don't say that this place seems to have been stabilized, even if there is still instability, he can't care so much. Where could there be more important than the emperor's trust? Now he just wishes he could put wings on his body and fly back.

In this anxious mood, Shi Heng ordered the whole army to eat breakfast quickly, and after half an hour, the army was assembled, leaving 2,000 people to guard Tianjin, and the rest of the army returned to Beijing with him to Shiqin Wang.

Before breakfast was ready, the order was given. The gang leaders hurriedly increased their firepower and dealt with the meal. Even so, many soldiers still did not eat enough, and only after dealing with two mouthfuls they went on the road, and Yu Tianjin Wei went straight to Beijing and returned.

Shi Heng's mood was eager, and he also wanted to use this incident to show his loyalty, in order to gain more trust from Emperor Daizong. But there was one thing he overlooked, and that was safety along the way.

In other words, more than 10,000 "Japanese troops" walked on the port of Tianjin, which made Shi Heng relax his vigilance, thinking that even if there were remnants of the enemy, there would not be too many. This is the journey, focusing only on the speed of the march of the army, and ignoring the proper formation and defense of the team.

In order to let Zhu Qiyu see his loyalty, Shi Heng took three thousand cavalry to take the lead, leaving the army far behind, and went straight to the Beijing Division. He also thought in his heart that after receiving the battle report in the morning, he would be able to enter the Beijing Division in the afternoon, how happy the emperor would be, and under the joy of Long Yan, everything he had paid was worth it.
