On September 20th, Li Zhi and his officials gathered in the secondary hall of the palace to discuss the imperial edict sent by the emperor.
Anpingbo Han Jinxin stood up first, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now Shaanxi, Shanxi and Beizhili have rebelled. The local military commanders are all civilian officials. In recent years, the emperor has set up courts to rectify corruption, and has also vigorously implemented new policies.
The army can be said to have greatly threatened the interests of local generals."
"At this time, the Beijing camp was destroyed, and the emperor no longer had the troops to suppress these local military towns. The local military attachés sided with the civilian officials one after another. The military generals from all over the country raised the banner of echoing the Jiangbei Army and secretly arrested them in the local areas. They hated them to the bone.
of court officials.”
"Rebels from all over the country are a mixed bag, with a total number of tens of thousands."
"As soon as Jiangbei Army invades, I'm afraid these local military towns will join forces with Jiangbei Army to attack the capital."
Finally, Han Jinxin pointed at the map and said: "The 30,000 Jiangbei Army in Nanchang Prefecture have been restrained by Dingxing Bo, and the remaining 60,000 Jiangbei Army have already invaded Shaanxi. If the prince does not send troops to stop these 60,000 Jiangbei Army from going north, stop these ten
If there are thousands of rebels, the emperor will be in danger."
Hearing Han Jinxin's introduction to the situation, all the officials in the secondary palace took a breath and looked at the map without saying anything. Now that Li Zhi's troops are limited, there are only 20,000 tiger soldiers in Jianghuai Province. How can he save the emperor? This is indeed a problem.
.
Li Zhi looked at the ministers in the palace, thought for a while, and said: "Send telegrams to dignitaries in various places and ask them to come up with ideas."
The official in charge of the telegram hurried down and drafted Li Zhi's agenda into a telegram and sent it to each province. After half an hour, the replies from each province were collected.
The official in charge of the telegram walked up to Li Zhi holding a stack of telegrams. Li Zhi said: "Read it!"
The official held up the telegram and read it out. The first was a telegram from Zheng Yuan, the governor of Liaodong: "I believe that the emperor is the soul of the country and must be rescued. No matter how weak our troops are in one town and nine provinces, we must raise troops to crack the crackdown
The critical situation in the capital. There is a lot of grain stored in Liaodong, which can be used as military supplies."
Zheng Yuan supported the rescue of the capital with twelve points.
Next is a telegram from Li Dao, the new governor of Henan: "It is important to rescue the emperor, but now our Tiger and Ben troops are deployed everywhere and are stretched everywhere. Your Majesty should do what you can. If the troops are insufficient and used by the Jiangbei army, the gain will outweigh the loss."
After everyone heard Li Dao's telegram, they looked at each other. Apparently many people agreed with Li Dao's point of view and believed that the current military strength was tight and there was no way to save the nation.
Li Xing, who is in charge of Jianghuai Province, made it clear: "The 20,000 Jianghuai garrison has invaded Jiangxi, and we are willing to continue to contain the 30,000 Nanchang Jiangbei Army. But 20,000 vs. 30,000 is already very difficult. I hope Brother Wang will learn from this."
Next is a telegram sent by Zhong Feng from North Korea: "Your Majesty wants to turn the tide on his own, and the general will not dare not help with all his strength. However, the North Korean country will only be destroyed for a few years, and the North Korean people still regard the Tiger Army as a foreign invasion. Without soldiers to suppress it, North Korea will
We must rebel. There are more than 10 million North Koreans, and the 20,000 Tiger and Ben troops can only draw out 3,000 at most. If there are more, things will change."
When the ministers heard Zhong Feng's telegram, they couldn't help but start talking. The total number of rebels in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Beizhili was tens of thousands, plus the 60,000 Jiangbei Army heading north, there was no more than 60,000 Huben Army.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to match. North Korea can only mobilize 3,000 troops, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
The secondary hall was filled with noisy discussions for a while. All the officials held their own opinions and even started arguing in the hall.
There are no telegraph lines between Japan and Indochina, and Zheng Kaicheng and Li Laosi, who have the largest number of troops, cannot be contacted, and the situation is somewhat unclear.
Minister of National Defense Hong Chengchou raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, based on the documents exchanged by Ping Dongbo Zheng Kaicheng these days, I believe that Japanese farmers and warriors have accepted the status quo. Although the undercurrent of national rejuvenation is still raging among the people, the Japanese have not
People can stand up and take the lead in executing the plan, so it won't cause serious harm. The 50,000 Tigers and Ben troops stationed in Japan can mobilize 20,000 people."
"In this way, we will have 23,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Jiangbei Army and rebels from various places heading north."
After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Li Zhi nodded. Hong Chengchou was experienced in planning for the country and was very careful in his work. Since he estimated that Japan could spare 20,000 people, he thought there would be no big mistake.
Cui Changwu, chief of the disciplinary inspection team, said: "Even so, there are still 40,000 soldiers needed to fight the rebels."
Everyone looked at the map and all looked at Indochina.
In Indochina, Li Laosi has 40,000 Tiger and Ben troops. In addition to the 40,000 Tiger troops, Li Laosi also has 60,000 Yizi battalions and 50,000 samurai troops. He doesn't know how many troops he can spare to support the war in the north.
The combat effectiveness of the samurai army is very low and not worth mentioning. The Yizi Battalion has just joined the Tianjin system a few months ago, and its marksmanship is in shambles, and it is difficult to compete with the Jiangbei Army. The most critical thing is the 40,000 Tiger Ben Army. If all 40,000 Huben Army are drawn out
, Li Zhi was able to gather 60,000 men to fight against the rebels from various places led by Jiangbei Army.
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Send a ship to the Indochina Peninsula to contact Li Laosi and ask him to stop the expedition in the Indochina Peninsula and mobilize as many troops as possible to go north for support."

On October 20th, Humayun, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, rode on a group of Arabian horses with a look of determination on his face.
This year was smooth sailing for Humayun. Relying on the weapons of the Dutch, Humayun successfully defeated several rebels in northern India and successfully occupied Delhi in just a few months.
In the past few decades, the Mughal Empire has enfeoffed nobles in northern India. Today, the feudal lords in the northern part of the subcontinent are all former ministers of the Mughal Empire. As the official emperor of the Mughal Empire, Humayun has full appeal in northern India.
As soon as Humayun recaptured Delhi, lords from all over the country came to Delhi to express their loyalty.
In the blink of an eye, three-quarters of northern India was pacified. Except for a few princes who resisted, the Mughal Empire had basically returned to its original territory.
Humayun became the honored emperor of India again.
However, Humayun did not forget his agreement with the Dutch. In the past six months, Humayun gathered 200,000 troops from various Indian states, practiced various firearms sent by the Dutch, and was ready to attack Li Zhi at any time.
A few days ago, the Dutch envoy found Humayun and asked him to send troops to hold Li Zhi away.
The Dutch made it very clear that now that there is civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangbei Army goes north to attack the capital. If the Jiangbei Army takes control of the capital, it can mobilize all the resources of the entire Ming Dynasty to train more soldiers to attack Li Zhi. So at this critical moment, Hu Ma
Yong must hold back Li Zhi's main force in the Indochina Peninsula so that Li Zhi has no time to visit the north.
Humayun immediately agreed to the Dutch.
Defeating Li Zhi was not only for the Dutch, but also for the Moguls. Li Zhi expanded too fast in Indochina, which made Humayun feel a thorn in his back. If Li Zhi is not defeated, I am afraid that it will not take long for India to change.
It became a province of Ming Dynasty.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, it is the best opportunity.
