Chapter 1028: The Cabinet's Decision


The news of the Qing soldiers' re-entry into the army can never be concealed, just a Donglin Journal who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, will definitely be the first to poke this matter out, because everyone knows that as long as it can make a stumbling block for Lu Hanqiang, Donglin Journal will definitely spare no effort, as for the consequences of this news being poked out, Donglin Journal does not care about these, as long as it can defeat the enemy, even if it breaks the country, it doesn't matter.

Seeing that the emotions of his colleagues slowly calmed down, Lu Xiangsheng said indifferently: "This time I summoned everyone to discuss the prevention measures, and finally reported to the emperor." ” So everyone began to offer advice and advice word by word, but in the end, it was the same as last time, the first was martial law in Beijing, and there was no other way to send a message to the king of Qin.

And the transfer of troops to King Qin, everyone has the experience of the last time, and the mobilization of troops from other places to come back to King Qinwang is simply a waste of money and food, poisoning the place, to put it bluntly, that is, it is just a batch of pigs back, which will not help at all, but will add chaos.

Therefore, it was unanimously agreed that Lu Hanqiang should be transferred back to Shiqin Wang, as long as Lu Han's strong army returned, this mere 40,000 Jiannu would be wiped out immediately.

Regarding martial law in Beijing, Lu Xiangsheng had different opinions on this point, and Lu Xiangsheng also expressed his noncommittality on the transfer of troops to the king.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the Qing soldiers entered the Kou for the second time, but the official did not think that there was any great danger, although due to the reasons of the border army, they almost bloodlessly won the two passes of the Great Wall Daankou and Longjing, but Zunhua is impregnable, the Qing soldiers will not bypass Zunhua and go straight to the Beijing Division, if so, he is seeking his own death, so, as long as Zunhua is not lost, the Beijing Division is safe, so the matter of martial law in the Beijing Division, but not in a hurry, so as not to cause panic."

"And the matter of transferring troops to Qinwang, everyone also knows that Lu Hanqiang supervised the division to attack Liaodong in three ways, and the war is in full swing, and it can't be just because of this 40,000 Qing soldiers entering the Kou, Lu Hanqiang can be mobilized to help, this is a decisive battle to recover Liaodong, it can also be said to be a battle to destroy the country, if it is like this, it is a pity" "What should we do then, according to the Lordship?"

asked one of the members cautiously.

"According to my opinion, although the Beijing battalion suffered heavy losses in the last battle, under the rectification of Gonggong Cao, it can still be used, and it is not possible to attack, and it is okay to defend the city, so let them strengthen the defense of the Beijing division to deal with contingencies."

This suggestion was immediately unanimously opposed by everyone, and the Jingying did improve under the rectification of Gonggong Cao, but it was stronger than the original, more like an army.

And in the last war, the army of 10,000 people in Beijing was wiped out, and this 10,000 horses and horses were indeed unusable, if they were to participate in the defense of the city, then this Beijing city would be equivalent to an undefended city chaos, not to mention the safety of the people, that is, everyone's family would be dangerous and chaotic, and you would not be tantamount to child's play So, everyone unanimously opposed this initiative.

In the end, everyone was gossiping, and various opinions could not be unified at all, and the meeting was suspected of wagons, so Lu Xiangsheng decisively adopted a consistent method and voted to resolve the minority to obey the majority.

As a result, ten people voted, and there were eight who opposed the decision to enter the city and not impose martial law, but there was no way, Lu Xiangsheng could only agree with everyone's opinions, and after preparing for this meeting, he went to Sun Chengzhong, the first assistant of the cabinet, to discuss it again.

The martial law in Beijing is related to the people's livelihood, more than 100 close to 2 million Beijing citizens, the need for grain and grass is massive, and the cabinet is directly responsible here, because it is in charge of internal affairs, so it must be approved by the cabinet before it can be implemented.

The Ming Dynasty has been decentralizing power for many years, and everyone has become accustomed to this separation of military and political affairs, since this involves government affairs, it can only wait for Sun Chengzong's cabinet to make a decision before implementing it At this time, ten members of the Military Aircraft Department had a difference of opinion on this, and seven of them insisted that Lu Hanqiang send a large army back to Gyeonggi, Lu Xiangsheng just listened, noncommittal, and two people were thoughtful.

At this time, Yang Sichang, a newly promoted member of the Military Aircraft Department and the right attendant of the Ministry of War, stood up for the first time, walked to the huge map and looked at it, and nodded in agreement with Lu Xiangsheng's statement: "In fact, the 40,000 Jiannu this time, after the repeated blows of Lu Hanqiang's commander, have long been less fierce than the original, and our Ming army has also improved by leaps and bounds after military innovation. ” For Yang He's son Yang Sichang, who is also young, Lu Xiangsheng has always been optimistic, this is indeed a talented person with military strategy among the literati, and when he saw him say this today, he said encouragingly: "Tell me your opinion." ” Yang Sichang was not implicated because of his father Yang He, the second largest mouth in the Ming Dynasty, who was imprisoned for his ineffective suppression of bandits, but because of his outstanding ability, he was favored by his colleagues, and he was promoted all the way to the Ministry of War, and became the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and was specially pulled into the military aircraft by Lu Xiangsheng and became a capable general under Lu Xiangsheng.

And Yang Sichang also seized this rare opportunity, and slowly erased the impact on himself due to his father's sins with the spirit of hard work.

With Lu Xiangsheng's consent and encouragement, Yang Sichang looked at the map and brought everything that had just come to mind in his heart.

"The enemy is attacking from afar, it must be the exhaustion of the troops, and at this time, they are not as good as last time, there is a Mongolian Tatar response, now they are alone in the depths, whether it is soldiers or heavy grain and grass, there is no help, so they must need a quick battle, and they want to seize Zunhua in a fraudulent way, based on the treacherous plan, in front of Huang Bingcan failed to succeed, so, will launch an attack on Zunhua, thinking that they expand the vertical and horizontal space, as their foothold, so, as long as Zunhua can hold, then, It leaves us room to maneuver. ” When he said this, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng with his eyes.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and affirmed Yang Sichang: "Huang Bingcan is capable, and the 10,000 defenders are well-trained, if there are no special circumstances, Huang Bingcan can hold Zunhua."

After all, Huang Bingcan is the person summoned by his subordinates, and Lu Xiangsheng still has a good idea of this cadre.

"As long as Zunhua is not lost, the 40,000 Qing troops will not dare to attack the Beijing division easily, otherwise there will be a situation where I will be attacked by the Beijing division Tongzhou Zunhua, and the three places will be flanked before and after, I think the generals of the Qing army will not be stupid to this extent, so I said that the defense of the Beijing division needs to be strengthened, but it is not to the point where the whole city has to be under martial law."

Lu Xiangsheng still didn't want to make a big move to impose martial law in Beijing, just because of the 40,000 Qing soldiers, the imperial capital of the world was panicked, which had a bad impact on the world. t1706231537:
