I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Jinling City, Daxin Palace.

In the Jinluan Hall, above the court hall.

The civil and military officials of the entire court had been waiting for him for a long time, but Emperor Zhao Qian failed to meet on time as usual. Everyone had to wait patiently in the court hall, whispering to each other.

The topic of discussion was naturally the emperor's personal expedition to Longcheng to quell the rebellion caused by Chen Huaian, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Prime Minister Qin Ruhui was dismissed by the violent Zhao Gan three days after the last court meeting, and was reinstated to his post. He was also given the command of six ministries and was fully responsible for the emperor's personal expedition to suppress the rebellion.

Interestingly, Sun Heling, the Minister of Rites, who repeatedly contradicted Zhao Qian in the court that day and risked his life to remonstrate, was not angered by Zhao Qian and was still a third-rank official in the court.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Suddenly, a sharp eunuch announced from outside the Jinluan Palace, the emperor is here!

The next moment, Zhao Qian was seen climbing the steps of the Jinluan Palace with windy steps, and finally sat down on the dragon chair, which symbolized the supreme imperial power of the Great New Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the beloved concubine Wen Renyu, who was inseparable from Zhao Qian in the past and hung on him like an octopus, did not attend the morning court with the emperor today.

This abnormal scene made all the courtiers seem a little uncomfortable.

In the end, under the leadership of Prime Minister Qin Ruhui, all civil and military officials knelt down to salute.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

On the dragon chair, Zhao Qian waved his hands impatiently and said: "Everyone loves me!"

Then, he said directly: "Prime Minister Qin, how is the counter-rebellion strategy that I ordered you to lead the six ministries going?"

Qin Ruhui said anxiously: "Reporting to the Emperor, the instructions for pacifying the Longcheng Rebellion have been written, and I will present them to the Emperor now!"

With that said, Qin Ruhui took out the memorial he had prepared a long time ago and was about to deliver it to the eunuch under the steps of the hall with both hands raised.

However, Zhao Qian, who was sitting on the throne, had no interest in reading it by himself. Instead, he directly ordered: "Prime Minister Qin, just read it directly. I am too lazy to read it by myself."

Forehead......

Qin Ruhui hesitated for a moment, thinking that the secret of pacifying the Dragon City Rebellion was a secret of the imperial court. He read it out in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and he was not afraid of being overheard by anyone who wanted to, and then reported it to Chen Huaian later. ah!

The King of Jin, Chen Polu, has been running the Daxin Chaotang for decades, so there are still remnants of the King of Jin hidden in the Qi Chaotang!

"Qin Ruhui, I asked you to read it, but your ears are stuffed with donkey hair!"

On the dragon chair, Zhao Qian roared angrily, frightening Qin Ruhui, who was in a daze.

The latter didn't care about anything else, so he could only open his mouth and read to the memorial:

"Informing your Majesty, Wei Chen led six ministers and collected intelligence from all parties over the past few days. Finally, with the opinions of Shen Guangming, the Minister of War, he formulated the counter-insurgency plan as follows -"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ruhui began to express the contents of the memorial in an emotional voice in front of Zhao Qian and all the civil and military officials.

In order to put down the Dragon City Rebellion, Qin Ruhui learned from the experience and lessons learned from Wu Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest, who was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, which led to a disastrous defeat, and made an all-out gesture from the beginning.

First, Qin Ruhui, together with Shen Guangming, Minister of War, summarized the military deployment of the New Dynasty across the country:

In the end, it was decided to allocate 200,000 Japanese soldiers from the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong; a total of 200,000 Huben troops from the 15 Youyun prefectures; and 100,000 Anxi frontier troops from the Anxi General Military Office, a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses to form a counterinsurgency army.

The army was divided into two groups, all the way up from the northeast of Shandong, passing through Youyun Fifteen Prefectures, and finally assembled in Yingzhou, from east to west, to attack Yunzhou City, which was actually controlled by the rebel Chen Huaian;

The other route went south from the Four Towns of Anxi, and finally assembled in Chang'an Mansion. From west to east, they attacked the base camp of the rebel Chen Huaian and the Jin Dynasty's fiefdom of Longcheng.

The two main commanders of the counter-rebellion armies were Guo Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi General Military Office and the general of Zhenxi; and Li Jingyu, the son of the famous Daxin general Li Kuang, the flying general of Youzhou.

Guo Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp of the late emperor Zhao Mang, had followed the late emperor in the southern and northern campaigns and made great achievements in battle. He was later appointed as the chief soldier of the Anxi General Military Office of the Great New Dynasty, commanding 300,000 Anxi frontier troops to guard the Western Regions.

Li Jingyu, the son of the famous general Li Kuang, had fought with his father Li Kuang for many years. He was the pioneer general in the New Dynasty's reconquest of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, commanding a hundred thousand tiger troops to garrison Youzhou.

These two men were both famous generals in the Great New Dynasty, and they were loyal to the imperial power of the Zhao family.

Finally, Qin Ruhui said: "Reporting to the emperor, the above is the counter-rebellion strategy discussed by the ministers and the six ministers. Please make your decision!"

On the dragon chair, Zhao Qian, after listening to Qin Ruhui's report, nodded and partially agreed with the counter-insurgency strategy.

He said: "Prime Minister Qin, the counter-insurgency strategy formulated by you and the Six Ministers is very good. Whether it is the attack strategy or the combat soldiers deployed, in my opinion, there are no problems."

"but--"

At this point, Zhao Qian suddenly changed the topic and continued: "Have you forgotten one thing? This time I am going to conquer the rebellion personally. I didn't hear anything about the memorial you just reported. Where did I put the army? "

"emperor--"

After hearing this, Qin Ruhui immediately prepared to explain.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian didn't give him this chance at all, and directly interrupted Qin Ruhui: "Prime Minister Qin, there is no need to say more, I know what you want to say!"

"It's just that you're afraid of the risk of the emperor's personal expedition, so you're careful not to let Chen Huai'an's rebellious ministers and traitors disturb the emperor, right?"

After a pause, Zhao Qian continued: "A mere Chen Huaian is not enough to scare me!"

"I have decided——"

"I proclaimed myself General Tiance and led an army of 500,000 people to Longcheng to suppress the rebellion. The Anxi frontier army was still under the command of Guo Dingfang. The 200,000 Japanese soldiers and 200,000 tiger soldiers were personally commanded by me."

"As for Li Jingyu, let him be a vanguard general by my side!"

"It's decided, let's retire!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do it, Your Majesty!"

At this time, an untimely voice of opposition suddenly sounded in the Daxin Chaotang.
