Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 931 Although I am old, I can still ride a horse

"Everyone, the front line of Changping and Shunyi is the last outer defensive position in the north of the capital. If there is any loss, the capital will be completely surrounded by the puppet army and become a lone boat on the North China Plain!"

"Therefore, before the puppet army enters Changping, it is necessary to gather heavy troops to take back this strategically important place, and use it as a forward base, or capture Miyun and Huairou to the north, and open up communication channels with the Mongolian feudal clans; or capture Zunhua, Zunhua, and Yongping, open up the international rescue channel of Shanhaiguan!"

"Everyone, this plan is the last chance of the capital and the last chance of the Qing Dynasty. Everyone must go all out unconditionally and must not hide their selfishness. Otherwise, the imperial court will be in danger, and the Qing Dynasty will be in danger!"

At the urgent military meeting held in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lao Fu formally presented the battle plan formulated earlier by his brother-in-law Yiltu, the Minister of War Wang Jintai and others, demanding that the capital enter a state of full mobilization and allocate no less than [-] elite soldiers Take back Changping and launch the "Eastern Expedition" or "Western Expedition".

Whether to get through Shanhaiguan or through Mongolia depends on the mobilization of enemy forces.

That is, if the enemy is strong in the Jingdong area, they will launch a westward expedition.

On the contrary, go eastward.

This strategic plan is undoubtedly wise. It is unrealistic to continue to do nothing and expect so-called reinforcements.

There is currently no evidence that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai tried to rescue the capital. It is possible that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai were attacking Shanhaiguan under the command of General Hongxiang of Shengjing, or Hongxiang did not take any rescue action at all.

There is also no evidence that Qin Wang's troops from the provinces are approaching the capital.

Therefore, although the capital’s food reserves can last for half a year, and even for more than a year if it saves on food and clothing, if it is uncertain whether there is foreign aid or not, both the morale of the army and the hearts of the people will gradually decrease over time, and eventually lead to the collapse of the city. captured by the enemy.

Especially now, the defection of Changping, which is the center of gravity of the peripheral defense, will make the enemy's military power completely "closer to Beijing".

In view of this, Lao Fu, who is the most ferocious tiger in the empire, is responsible for the Qing Dynasty and the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital, and strongly demands that the Market Garden Project be launched immediately.

Take back Changping at all costs, and take back Daquan!

According to the plan, Prince An, the regent, needs to bring out [-] troops.

That is to say, Prince An's troops were the main force in this battle, and the other 1 people were drawn by Lao Fu from the troops under the jurisdiction of the nine admirals and the prince's armed forces.

It's not that the old rich wanted to use this to arrange to empty out Mr. Se's family fortune. It's because all the troops in Beijing that can fight well are with Mr. Se. In this national calamity, it's time for you, Mr. Se, as the regent, to give the devil a little bit Shocked.

As long as Changping and Daquan can be regained, even if the enemy's blockade cannot be broken through to realize the intention of the Eastern Expedition or the Western Expedition, the situation will develop in a good direction again.

For the old rich himself, it is very beneficial.

More than 30 princes and ministers participated in the meeting. Except for the military princes who participated in the royal cabinet, the main officials of all ministries were present.

The Supreme Emperor Qianlong, who had retired to the second line, attended the meeting as the emperor's general counsel. Although he did not have the right to speak, his attitude was very important.

After all, being an emperor for more than 40 years still has weight in many people's minds.

Qianlong performed very well, sitting there watching the old rich who was explaining the battle arrangements to the princes and ministers, nodding his head from time to time in agreement, from time to time his expression was dignified showing doubts, from time to time his eyes lit up and he admired the old rich's deployment.

As the emperor, out of his confidence in his rich dad, Yongzhen supported this counterattack plan very much, and said that if he could regain Changping and open up a rescue channel with the outside world, all the officers and soldiers will get half of their future. General, he, the emperor, is even more generous with rewards.

"Do you have any opinions on the arrangement of the battle? If so, please speak up boldly, so as to make up for the omissions."

Lao Fu put down his baton, went to his seat and sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

I don't know when it will start, but the imperial court meeting will not only provide seats for the participating princes and ministers, but also provide free tea and snacks.

It may be inherited from the last meeting of princes and ministers discussing politics.

In this regard, neither Lao Fu nor Prince An, nor any prince, said anything to abolish it.

Because this meeting mode is very consistent with their repositioning of imperial power.

The emperor, as the co-lord of the world, had better sit there and say nothing.

State affairs, big or small, should be discussed and handled by princes and ministers.

At present, whether it is the previous emperor Qianlong or the current emperor Jiaqing, they all follow this unspoken rule, ending the high-pressure environment in the court since Qianlong.

The Military Aircraft Department has completely become the highest authority.

Under internal and external pressure, the system of constitutional monarchy miraculously took shape in the Jiaqing court in the capital.

The princes and ministers began to discuss, and the final result was that Fu Zhongtang's vegetable market garden plan was unanimously agreed, and they all believed that regaining Changping was the lifeline of regaining the capital.

Liang Guozhi, Minister of Military Affairs and Han Dynasty, stood up excitedly and said: "The country has raised the Eight Banners for a hundred years, and today is the day of righteous death!"

Seeing this, Yuan Shoutong, another Han military aircraft, went a step further and said: "I am willing to lead the army as the Minister of Military Aircraft!"

This system is established.

During the reign of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, it was standard equipment for the army to be led by a cabinet scholar.

It's true that Lu Yao knows horsepower, and toughness knows loyal ministers!

The statements of the two Han ministers, Liang and Yuan, aroused unanimous applause from the princes and ministers present, and even Yujun Wang Lianghuan said that he would fight the enemy together with the soldiers as the king of the county.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!

He is absolutely worthy of the blood of the ancestors flowing in his body.

"It's time to fight the devils! Your Majesty, Chen Jin Jian is willing to get the coat to fight for the Emperor!"

Not long ago, Jin Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was imprisoned because of a member of the rich party, excitedly challenged the battle, saying that the country raised not only the Eight Banners, but also the coat of arms.

More and more princes and ministers stood up to fight, and the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with a strong and intense atmosphere.

However, Prince An, the regent, had a different opinion. He thought it was okay to send troops by himself, but he could only send [-] at most, and the remaining [-] should be drawn from other parties.

Obviously, Prince Ann was worried.

He was afraid that all his soldiers would be sent to fight Changping, and his influence as the regent might be weakened.

"Regent, it's time now,"

Old Fu didn't expect Uncle Se to have selfish intentions at this juncture, so he couldn't help being angry and anxious, and when he was about to persuade Prince An to think about the overall situation, the voice of the Supreme Emperor suddenly came from behind him.

"The survival of the empire is a battle here. All the kings and ministers should be brave, and the Eight Banners will prosper! If the regent refuses to send troops, I, an old man, will go out of the city to fight the thieves. Although I am old, I can still ride a horse!"

Old Chen let out his final roar, which was also a cry.

A hammer is fixed.

Uncle Se is really embarrassed to say anything more.

Send troops.
