“Driving…Driving…”
The streets of Beijing, which should have been forbidden to ride horses, were accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, and soldiers carrying dragon flags rode their horses and galloped.
Such a scene is already familiar to the people on the streets of the capital.
Who doesn’t know that when Zilijing has been inspecting for a long time today, the messenger carrying the dragon flag is a reflection of the will of the emperor, but if there are delays and stops, it will be a matter of losing one’s head.
The war horses ran on the streets of the capital, and finally arrived at the Liubu Streets at the foot of the palace. The emperor's will also reach the center of the court.
This time, it is obviously different from usual.
The great changes in the grasslands have been the focus of the government and the country, and the intentions of all parties are still rare to be unified.
When it comes to the emperor's place, the emperor's instructions have not been decided for a long time, and this has made the government and the country even more noisy.
With each holding the same word, there is no decision by the emperor. It can be imagined how the court scene during this period was.
In the palace, the Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuyuan Pavilion, which are almost opposite the door, represent the central cabinet of the civil service system and the General Staff of the military system. Between this hustle and bustle, the affairs of the two departments are mostly the same.
As the center of civil and military affairs, it is naturally impossible to abandon national affairs because of personal opinions.
In the grassland changes, whether to fight or not is one thing, whether to prepare is certain or not is naturally another thing.
Under the allocation of the General Staff Cabinet, the civil and military system performed its duties, and a large number of food, grass and weapons were transported out of Beijing and escorted to the northern Xinjiang. The changes in officials and generals in the northern Xinjiang were carried out in an orderly manner between the hustle and bustle.
"Your Majesty has not decided yet, but I don't know what it means?"
In the cabinet, Zhao Bin, the Minister of War, suddenly sighed in the noise.
The ministers of the cabinet looked different, but they all said nothing.
The court has different opinions, but how could there be no doubt about them, the important officials who have followed the emperor for a long time?
Regardless of the pros and cons of fighting or not fighting, one thing is clear.
That is, will the emperor lose control of the northwest and grasslands that have been in operation for a long time?
It is very obvious that the emperor will never sit by and watch.
If the emperor doesn't sit by and watch, then things will be simple.
Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding in their hearts, and even had a bold guess, but no one would expose it.
"Your Majesty's will!"
In the strange atmosphere, a sudden shout sounded, and then an official came hurriedly.
The sudden sound also made the ministers' hearts jump, and they all knew it when they looked at each other.
Immediately, Liu Qiyuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood up slowly and stepped forward to receive the emperor's decree handed over by the official. Although he had not read it yet, Liu Qiyuan could already be sure of the emperor's intentions.
From the former Ming Dynasty to the Duke of Qin who assisted the country and governed the country, and then to the current emperor.
After so many years, how could he not know the emperor's character?
If this battle is not fought, it will be a brutal thing.
In just a moment of thought, Liu Qiyuan flipped through it, and what caught his eye was the familiar handwriting of the emperor, which was strong and powerful.
The content is also in sight.
Sure enough!
Liu Qiyuan slowly put down the emperor's letter, and the ministers around him had already looked at him.
"beat!"
Liu Qiyuan slowly spit out a word.
The hall also followed this word and was silent in an instant.
After a moment, Hong Chengchou quickly stepped forward, and the officials of the cabinet also walked forward, and took the letter of the emperor one after another. After reading it one after another, the atmosphere in the hall could no longer solidify.
"This battle is not easy to fight."
It took a long time before Hong Chengchou spoke out first and sighed with emotion.
"It's not easy to fight!"
The ministers nodded one after another. At this moment, they did not say any advice or words of indifference.
The emperor made a decision, which was obviously a foregone conclusion. Besides, it was just a disruption of the morale of the army. They still had this overall situation.
"The Southwest War is not over yet, and the White Lotus is still hiding in the dark. This war will begin again..."
"This battle is unprecedented in scale, and the financial and material resources are consumed, probably too..."
The ministers of the cabinet also expressed their concerns about this battle.
But as he spoke, with Liu Qiyuan's words, the palace once again fell into a dead silence.
"Your Majesty has never stated who will lead the army to the war for the commander!"
In a word, the ministers who were still worried about the war also reacted.
You know, the emperor, after the great change in the grassland, he stayed in Hetao without leaving a single step.
When the war broke out, Hetao was the important area in the northern border and the place where the army set out for war.
Whether it is the war against the northwest or the grassland, the place that cannot be separated from is Hetao!
As a result, the emperor decided to start a war and stayed in Hetao again. The significance of this is undoubtedly clear.
"The emperor personally commanded the army!"
In an instant, this thought came into the minds of the ministers.
For a moment, the ministers of the cabinet looked at each other again, not knowing how to speak.
Compared with the quiet atmosphere in Wenyuan Pavilion, the adjacent Wuyuan Pavilion seems to be boiling!
Dare to fight in martial arts and desire war. Under Daheng’s unique military order, it has become the norm among the norms.
It is the central head department of Daheng's million-strong army, a place where talents gather in the army, and the General Staff Department is naturally also a place where war madness gathers.
In the General Staff, there is no idea how many war plans have been formulated for the northwest and grasslands. The General Staff, dozens of military staff, hundreds of consultants, and their wisdom is gathered in the war every day and night.
The grassland changes a lot, and the most fiercer advocates of war are the military officers of the General Staff.
When civil and military separation is separated, for the General Staff and other military staff, they obviously do not care about civil officials.
In fact, the same is true. If we look at Daheng today from a pure general's perspective, it has sufficient financial and material resources, elite military power, and mature external intelligence, which has already met all the needs of the war.
As for the war that will affect the country and bring disadvantages, this is obviously not a problem that the General Staff needs to consider.
Victory is what the General Staff needs to consider.
The pros and cons are the emperor and the civil service system, and the matter to be considered.
It is precisely in this state of thirsty for battle that Daheng has continuously developed externally. In the southwest, northwest, and northern borders, all kinds of actions have been constantly carried out over the years, and the functions and roles played by the General Staff in it cannot be underestimated at all.
And now, the grassland changes greatly, and we are on the northern expedition!
The scale of the war is probably no more than the war of founding the country.
A battle to establish a country created hundreds of martial honors, and it also completely transformed the former brave guard martial honors into Daheng martial honors that were enough to suppress the world.
And now...
The war is about to begin, and the emperor's decree arrives in the Martial Court Pavilion, and it is already in full swing!
Chapter completed!
