Not to mention the safety of the emperor, if someone speaks, the custody will be cursed by all officials. It would be strange if he does not lose the bad reputation of bewitching the emperor.

Thinking of Wang Zhen, who bewitched Yingzong's command in person, led to the Tumu Fort change. With such an incident, it can be said that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were very sensitive to the emperor's command in person. If we really want to make another Tumu Fort change, who can win the heavens!

Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao looked at Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others, all of them fell to the ground and begged the emperor to take charge of the capital.

Han Kun said in a stern voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my army to fight against the Tatars and swear to protect the capital to the death."

Lu Dazhu, Cheng Xiangwu and others all asked for a fight.

At this moment, Zhang Mao coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on Zhang Mao, and Zhu Houzhao also looked at Zhang Mao with anticipation.

As the British Duke, if Zhang Mao was willing to support him in person, he might not be able to suppress the opposition of Chinese and Chinese military officials in the court. Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao was obviously disappointed.

Zhang Mao was not a fool. When Yingzong personally fought, it directly led to the Tumu Fort Incident. Not only did the emperor fall into the hands of a foreign race, their Zhang family also lost the pillar of the sky-high-rise Zhang Fu, and the Xungui Group has been in a slump since then.

If he encouraged Zhu Houzhao to lead the army in person, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, they will probably become the public enemy of the court. If there is any accident, they will be afraid that if they die, they will not be able to atone for their entire British mansion.

Zhang Mao could only hear him slowly, "Your Majesty, what the cabinet masters said is very true. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and his words and deeds are related to the safety of the country. It is not easy for the emperor to personally fight for the expedition."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look a little disappointed when he heard this. Although he knew in his heart that all the civil and military officials in the court would not agree to let him lead the army in person, he just had hope.

Now that hope is shattered, I can only say with disappointment: "The old Duke is rich in experience. This time, the old Duke will preside over the battle against the Tatars."

As the saying goes, there is an old family, like a treasure. Zhang Mao has lived for decades and is Zhang Yu, and Zhang Fu is descended from Zhang Fu, so his abilities are naturally not too poor.

Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would not have been able to hand over the major matters directly related to the safety of the capital to Zhang Mao. Moreover, several troops in the capital were very responsible, such as Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others, and it was obvious that they would not be able to convince the public whether they arranged Cheng Xiangwu or Han Kun as the commander to command the troops in the capital.

Obviously, Zhang Mao is the best candidate. With Zhang Mao as the head coach and the army in the capital, everyone naturally accepts it. Under Zhang Mao, all the soldiers and horses are in the hands of Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't have to worry about any changes that will happen if all the soldiers and horses enter Zhang Mao's hands.

Jiao Fang and others all breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Just as Jiao Fang and other important civil and military officials were discussing how to fight the Tatar army, Cao Shaoqin returned and presented a secret letter to Zhu Houzhao with a bit of solemn expression on his face.

Zhu Houzhao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something had happened in Jiangnan. However, after opening it, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but narrow her eyes and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, okay, what a group of unfamiliar puppies..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look confused. Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao, wondering who made Zhu Houzhao so angry.

Zhu Houzhao calmed down his anger and handed the letter to Zhang Mao and said, "Look at the British Duke, this is an urgent report from the Jinyiwei. When the three guards of Jianzhou saw the Tatars launching 200,000 troops invading, they thought that our Ming Dynasty was unable to pay attention to the land of Liaodong. The three guards followed up and robbed the land of Liaodong, which was very responsive to the Tatars."

Zhang Mao glanced at the urgent report at a glance, stroked his white beard, and frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, don't disturb me. I'm just the three guards of Jianzhou, and I can't make any storms at all."

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Jiao Fang is over 60 years old. He heard that the three guards of Jianzhou rebelled again, and said without any surprise: "Your Majesty, during the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong, Emperor Xianzong sent a large army to suppress the three guards of Jianzhou twice, which greatly damaged the vitality of Jianzhou. Since then, he has been extremely respectful and has been constantly in court. Now, decades have passed. I am afraid that some vitality have been restored and ambitious. When I see the Tatars invasion, I think there is a bargain to pick up."

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "The Emperor's army has rebelled several times in Liaodong. Grandpa sent a large army to Liaodong to suppress the three guards of Jianzhou. He thought they could keep their duties, but he never thought that he would be unjust for decades."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Hao, the Minister of War, and said, "Yan Qing's family, the person who led the troops to plunder Liaodong this time is Xi Baoqi, the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou. Can the Ministry of War have records of this person's interview with him over the years?"

Yan Hao was slightly stunned. He had just taken office not long ago. Even as the Minister of War, he could not have recorded all the generals.

Especially the remote place such as the Three Guards of Jianzhou in Liaodong, it would be strange if Yan Hao could know it.

With a light cough, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have some understanding of this commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard."

Qian Ning could only hear: "Xi Baoqi was the son of Dong Shan, the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou. Dong Shan plundered Liaodong and was killed by the imperial court. Xi Baoqi attacked the position of the left guard of Jianzhou, and there were Zi Fuman and others."

Speaking of Dongshan, I am afraid that few people know that Dongshan is the sixth generation ancestor of Nurhaci in the Later Jin Dynasty, and Xibaoqi is the fifth generation ancestor of Nurhaci. Fuman is the fourth generation ancestor. Fuman's fourth son Juechang'an is the grandfather of Nurhaci. Juechang'an's fourth son Takshi married his wife Xitara and gave birth to third sons, the eldest son Nurhaci, the second son Shurhaci, and the third son Yarhaci.

Cheng Xiangwu said angrily: "A mere three guards of Jianzhou, His Majesty Xianzong should have sent someone to completely wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchens. Such a capricious alien race, only by destroying their clans can one avoid future troubles!"

Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "The three guards of Jianzhou are not strong enough, and at most they will cause chaos in Liaodong. When I defeat the Tatars this time, I will definitely send a large army to siege the Jianzhou Jurchens."

Whether it was Zhu Houzhao or the civil and military officials present, no one would take less than thousands of troops from the three guards of Jianzhou to heart.

The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the northern Mongolia. From Emperor Taizu expelled the Mongol Yuan, established the Central Plains, Chengzu conquered the five expeditions of the northern desert, and later the Mongol Yuan divided into Oirat and Tatars. No matter how it changed, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the northern Mongolia.

As the emperor and the Chinese civil and military officials of the court came up with a response, anyone with a heart would find that the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became solemn.

There were many patrol troops on the long street. The Beijing camp army, which rarely appeared in front of people, and the soldiers of the Tengxiang Four Guards, were also continuously transporting the city guard equipment to the city wall.

Seeing such movement, even a fool knows that the capital is facing a fierce battle.

The rebellion of King Ning had already spread all over the country, so many people in the capital knew that there was a great war in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Chu Yi, the chief manager, personally led a large army to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion.

Because Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, everyone did not take King Ning's rebellion seriously at all. However, this sudden change made many people think that the army of suppressing the rebellion failed, and King Ning came straight to the capital.

The first thing that many people think of is that when Chengzu Zhu Di went south to Jingshen and won the throne of emperor in one fell swoop.

However, in the past, Zhu Di went south from Beijing to conquer Nanjing City and won the throne. Now, King Ning has gone north from Nanjing City. If Beijing City is a loss, I am afraid that the world will change its owner, from Beijing to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Beijing, it is like a cycle of reincarnation.

So in the capital, some rumors spread.

However, not long after, the court sent people to refute the rumors. Many people in the capital were frightened and were only aware that King Ning had been pacified by Chu Yi and was on the way to escort the capital.

Of course, the news that the Tatar army was at the city was not hidden for long. After some discussion, Zhu Houzhao issued an order to inform the people of the capital of the news that the Tatar army was at the city.

When the news spread, the people in the capital suddenly exploded. Many people felt panic in their hearts, but some people also shouted that they would live and die with the capital.

Perhaps the concept of the country and the concept of nation do not have such a profound understanding of the people, but they are clear that the Tatars were alien races. When the Mongols and Yuan ruling the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains lived such miserable days. Ordinary people did not even have the qualifications to have names. The real name of the Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was Zhu Chongba, and his father even directly named Zhu Wusi.

If King Ning went north, would the capital be destroyed? There were really not many people in the city who would care about it, but the Tatars were different from the attack.

If the capital city falls into the hands of the Tatars, even fools know that with the nature of the Tatars, they fall into the hands of the Tatars, either being killed or becoming slaves.

There was some chaos in the capital, and some illegal people took advantage of the chaos to do evil. However, Zhu Houzhao had already expected this and sent additional troops to inspect, attacked decisively, and cleanly killed a group of gangsters who took advantage of the situation to try to do evil, which immediately stabilized the situation in the capital.

More than 100,000 troops fought together, and in just two days, the entire Beijing city became a strong city with strict defense, with bright armor and neat weapons, and artillery pieces of cannons were placed on the city wall.

Especially because the artillery supervised by Chu Yi sent people to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, dozens of newly built artillery were not transported to the south of the Yangtze River, but were placed on the city wall. In addition to the artillery in Beijing in the past, the number of artillery alone reached hundreds.

The Ministry of War even brought out all the various firearms, armor, crossbows and other weapons in stock, almost arming the city guards to their teeth, waiting for the Tatar army to come.

On this day, a dull sound of earth shaking came. Even if you stand on the city wall, you can feel the earth shaking caused by the galloping of thousands of horses. From a distance, smoke and dust rolled, and a large army of black swept over like a torrent.
