"And Pei Chengjun, that's it."

Yuan Zhi couldn't bear to say anything serious about the poor lone seedling of the Pei family, so he only said euphemistically: "Old General Pei is the only one left with you, if you have an accident on the battlefield, how can I be worthy of the old general who sacrificed his life for the country?" ”

Everyone knew in their hearts that in fact, Yuan Zhi was disgusted that General Pei had never been on the battlefield, and he didn't know how to fight against the Jungger Division, so it was useless to let him go.

Fortunately, General Pei didn't insist, the emperor had already given him steps, so he just took advantage of the situation.

In addition to the generals who were too old or did not have enough combat experience were singled out, there were also some troops who were not suitable for the northwest battlefield and were also singled out.

In the end, there were not many options, including the Jiangcheng Army.

The combat power of the Jiangcheng Army is one of the best, and the most rare thing is that the three generations of the old, middle and young have passed it on very well, and none of the three grandchildren have dropped the chain, otherwise they would not be able to lead the Jiangcheng Army so majestic.

Yuan Zhi has some affection for the Jiangcheng Army in his heart.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Prince Yong stand up and bow to the top: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, the Jiangcheng army is not suitable." Needless to say, several generals of the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion were brave and good at fighting, but when the Jiangcheng Army was expanded, it recruited too many soldiers from the south, and these soldiers were not tolerant of drought and sand, and they were afraid of suffering losses when fighting against the Jungar Division. ”

This is indeed a shortcoming of the Jiangcheng army, but it is not impossible to overcome.

Bai Yan was a little anxious, and was about to come up to refute, but suddenly remembered that when they held a meeting in the mansion yesterday, everyone mentioned his new marriage to the eldest princess.

He understood.

Prince Yong is not hindering him from making achievements, but out of the love of the royal elders, he does not want him and the eldest princess to be separated just after they get married.

The old marquis and the prince of the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion had already seen this, and they were silent and did not refute Prince Yong's opinion.

They won't go along with it either—

Prince Yong naturally has good intentions, but if the imperial court wants to use the Shangjiang City Army, they are also duty-bound.

At most, don't let Bai Yan go in person.

Yuan Zhi listened to Prince Yong's words, reacted immediately, and didn't think about the Jiangcheng army anymore.

At this time, Su Zhiming said again: "If the emperor can't make a decision for a while, he might as well think about it carefully." The cabinet will also recommend the most suitable generals and troops to the emperor after comprehensive consideration for the emperor's reference. ”

"That's all there is to it."

Such a big matter cannot be decided all at once.

Yuanzhi waved his hand, and Xiao Kiko took a step forward with interest, and sang loudly: "If you have something to do, you have nothing to retreat from-"

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, bow down and retire together.

In the end, the only ones left were the generals who were still arguing, Su Zhiming glanced in their direction, and then walked out of the main hall and went around the back.

At this time, Yuanji should be very entangled and need to consult with him.

At the same time as Su Zhiming, there were also Prince Yong and others, everyone tacitly agreed, Su Zhiming turned back to the Hanlin official behind him and said: "The content of the morning dynasty today has been recorded?" ”

"I've got it all in mind."

"Quickly send someone to the Imperial Garden, hand it over to the Queen Mother, and see what the Queen Mother thinks."

Su Zhiming ordered, the Hanlin official hurriedly bowed and retreated, Prince Yong nodded and admired, "The imperial court has not had such a major event for a long time, and it is always right to listen to the opinions of the queen mother at this time." ”

"The Queen Mother is full of literary talents, but she is not good at military affairs."

Su Zhiming said with a smile: "I asked people to go to the Queen Mother, more to know what her attitude is towards the Jiangcheng army." After all, the Queen Mother loves the eldest princess in everyone's eyes, if we don't ask the Queen Mother and send her son-in-law to the battlefield without asking the Queen Mother, who can afford to take it back? ”

When Prince Yong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, "So, the cabinet has decided to nominate the Jiangcheng army to fight?" ”

The smile on Su Zhiming's face gradually faded, "Nine is not far from ten." The prince also led soldiers in the past, and he must know more about military affairs than us ministers. Whether in terms of the main general or the combat strength of the army, and then in terms of military discipline and military style, the Jiangcheng Army is the best choice. ”

Why doesn't Prince Yong know?

He sighed slightly and said nothing.

It's hard to tell Su Zhiming that for the happiness of the eldest princess, he will be nominated by another person, right?

He couldn't say that.

As a child of the royal family, he can only take care of his family and country in his heart, and then he can take care of himself, he is like this, and the eldest princess is no exception.

Su Zhiming seemed to know what he was thinking, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I don't think this battle will be as terrible as we imagined." Now there is almost a rumor in the DPRK and China, isn't it because we haven't fought for too long? That's because the two generations of Ming monarchs ruled the country well, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the small countries and small tribes in the neighborhood did not dare to infringe——"

He arched his hand to the sky and said loudly: "It's because we have no fight to fight, it's not that we don't dare to fight!" Now that the small part of the Jungar District also dares to attack, we will fight a good fight to make an example of the monkeys and deter the neighbors! Isn't it happy? ”

Prince Yong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of a Wenchen.

It's just impassioned, making his blood boil for a long time as the idle prince who has been comfortable for a long time!

"It is worthy of the Qin Cha who once went to the northwest for disaster relief, and it is worthy of being a capable minister who can ascend to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet in his twenties, Su Shoufu, I didn't misread you!"

Prince Yong felt that a breath of energy in his chest was spit out, and he was very comfortable, "If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't led troops for many years, and after listening to your words, I really wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace at this moment to ask Ying to fight, and beat him happily!" ”

Even a civil servant like Su Zhiming is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of him?

Su Zhiming smiled humbly, "If the prince wants to go, the emperor will not be willing." The court also needs royal elders like the prince to sit in charge, and you are indispensable. Let's go meet the emperor first and listen to what the emperor means! ”

The two humbly conceded to each other and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

After Yuan Zhi listened to Su Zhiming's words, his reaction was even worse than that of Prince Yong, and he took the case, "Uncle has such an idea, why didn't he say it in the court?" It can also motivate everyone's morale! ”

"Your Majesty, we don't lack morale now."

Su Zhiming explained with a smile, "Those generals are all very morale-filled, and they are all vying to lead the troops to the battle, if I motivate them again, I'm afraid the scene will be uncontrollable, as for those civil servants-"

Su Zhiming shook his head, "Anyway, there is no need for them to send troops to fight, they can be afraid if they want to, if I say these words to them, maybe people will think that I am sarcastic about their cowardice." When this battle is won, the emperor can rest assured, and they will naturally put away these fears and fears. ”
