As soon as Liu Jian's words fell, even Xie Qian couldn't help but join in the fun: "I think Ouyang Zhi is indeed mature and prudent, and he will become a great weapon in the future. Your Majesty doesn't know. When he was in the Imperial Academy, he was also well-known and praised by everyone. From the Hanlin bachelor to the servants and students below, everyone praises him for his stability. To be honest, I really seldom see such a calm young man. He is a formidable young man."

Li Dongyang laughed, and said involuntarily: "He and Uncle Xinjian have the same affection as father and son. This is the way of honoring the teacher. Going to Jinzhou, fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, this is called loyalty. To prevent the army and the people from being poisoned by the Tatars, it is necessary to make a decisive decision. Love the people. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are everything in him."

Ma Wensheng on the side still looked miserable, and he still felt terrified in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it was fortunate that Ouyang Zhi was in Jinzhou to make up for it, at least no more tragic consequences would have happened, otherwise... the Ministry of War would be even more to blame.

So at this time, Ma Wensheng couldn't help but echoed, "It's like an ancient minister."

It is rare for a small Hanlin editor to receive the highest evaluation from so many big figures in the court.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help nodding. Sure enough, he was right about the person. This young man was indeed pleasing to look at, especially his calm, humble appearance.

Emperor Hongzhi happily said: "After carving this jade, it will be beautiful."

Everyone's faces showed gratification, but...

"..." Zhu Houzhao listened to everyone's words, and really wanted to die. He didn't have his own name. A guy who just followed the instructions of himself and Lao Fang was about to be praised by them. Can the boy go to Jinzhou?

He secretly glanced at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan also looked blank.

At this time, in Fang Jifan's heart, there was also a little jealousy. Sure enough, these scholars and civil servants are really not a good bird. The so-called things flock together and people are divided into groups. Why can't I find it in Ouyang Zhi? No matter how many advantages, in the final analysis, isn't Ouyang Zhi just because he is Hanlin, he is with you?

Fang Jifan secretly cursed in his heart, and couldn't help but exchanged glances with Zhu Houzhao. He suddenly felt that he could understand Zhu Houzhao's feelings, so he smiled encouragingly at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao also secretly grinned with Fang Jifan with a look of lovelessness.

"Of course...Fang Qing's family...is also good." Emperor Hongzhi did not forget to encourage Fang Jifan.

At this time, Fang Jifan didn't even have the thought of flattering, he just reluctantly smiled along with him.

But the muscles of this smile are a little sore.

"Yes, Uncle Xinjian is... not bad." Liu Jian also nodded.

Then, there was a brief silence in the Snapper.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Now, the Tatars are besieging Jinzhou, and they should rescue them. I summoned you to discuss the method of rescue. What do you think?"

Everyone frowned, Liu Jian took the lead and said: "You can order the governor of Liaodong to transfer elites from various ministries in Liaodong to go west..."

Ma Wensheng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late to call in Liaodong soldiers and horses for rescue. The veteran thought that Duoyan Sanwei should be ordered to surround the Tatars. The Tartars are in a difficult situation, and it seems that they are happy to make trouble for the Tartars, and this is to drive the wolf away..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said nothing.

As a king of a country who cares about his subjects in the world, he knows one thing very well. Every decision he makes determines the lives of millions of people in Liaodong.

Therefore, he appeared to be extra cautious.

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little uneasy, looked at Fang Jifan, and said, "Does Fang Qing's family have any suggestions?"

Unknowingly, he began to rely more and more on this Fang Qing's family.

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Let His Royal Highness tell the story."

This is a chance for the prince.

The prince is among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, at least in terms of military affairs, he is a bug-like existence. Although he is not as good as Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, he may not be as good as Emperor Wen, but these two people are both Wen and Wen who have been tempered in countless wars. To talk about martial arts, Zhu Houzhao is awesome. He hides in the East Palace and thinks about it. He can defeat the famous little prince in history when he goes to the battlefield.

Zhu Houzhao, who had been listless just now, suddenly regained his energy when he heard it, and was about to speak.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was serious, he knocked hard on the imperial case and said: "I don't need the prince to parrot you and repeat your proposition, you just say it yourself."

What……

The smile that Zhu Houzhao had accumulated with great difficulty gradually disappeared, Ben Gong...does anyone parrot? This is all my own opinion.

It's a pity...no one listened to his defense.

Fang Jifan looked distressed and had no choice but to say: "My minister's suggestion is not to send troops to help."

"what……"

Everyone was at a loss.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "Do you want to abandon Jinzhou's 100,000 soldiers and civilians?"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "I have a student in Jinzhou, and I am also extremely concerned about his safety."

He tried his best to pretend that he was very worried about Ouyang Zhi.

But in fact... there is concern, but after all, there are so many students, it seems... not too sad... At least, people are still alive now, and it's not the time to be heartbroken!

Well, I still have to be sad, Bi

It was his half son.

Fang Jifan was heartbroken: "But your Majesty didn't see the current situation clearly? These Tatars came out in full force. They are the most powerful soldiers in the desert. No one can be their edge. They are hungry now. , have come to the end of the road, their eyes are green with hunger, at this time, they can't find food in the fields, this long winter is coming, and there is not much food in their tribe, they are going to starve crazy, We must want to take Jinzhou as soon as possible, only by taking Jinzhou, and only by robbing food, can we have food!"

Under the attention of everyone, Fang Jifan took a deep breath, and then continued: "Your Majesty, when people are at the end of their roads, they are often the most brutal and desperate. Jinzhou is besieged, and the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City still have a tall city wall." You can rely on it, and you can support it anyway, but once the court sends reinforcements, the court will not only send soldiers and horses, but also send countless supplies. The Tatars are afraid at this time that they will not find the enemy. Only when there are enemies, they can fight us to the death and plunder our food, so the imperial court must not give them the slightest chance."

"The current situation can only be delayed. The weather will get colder and colder, and the snow outside the customs will get bigger and bigger. Jinzhou City must protect itself. Instead of sending reinforcements, it is better to order Jinzhou City to stand firm. As long as you hold on, it will be exhausted. The last bit of strength of the Tatars. And the court must not send out a single soldier, and must not give the Tatars the slightest chance to plunder."

"Please Your Majesty, let Jinzhou stick to it!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but wanted to yell, and Ben Gong thought the same way. Unfortunately, Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to be interested in him, and didn't even look at him.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and then he looked at Liu Jian and the others.

And Liu Jian and others seem to be aware of the problem.

That's right, this is a group of trapped beasts. There is no other choice. Such an army horse that is almost hungry and crazy, I am afraid that the imperial court will send reinforcements. At least they can choose to use their best method in the wilderness and give up attacking the city. , to strike reinforcements.

And once the opponent is given a chance to plunder, the consequences will be extremely dire. Even if the Ming army wins, so what?

But once defeated, the Tatars can replenish a large amount of food and grass. Wouldn't this help the Tatars instead?

Emperor Hongzhi said worriedly: "This is a statement of seeking the country, but... if the imperial court ignores Jinzhou, this Jinzhou..."

"There is no other way. The imperial court didn't want to abandon the people in Jinzhou City. But now, the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City can only rely on themselves. If they can hold on, the Tatars will suffer great harm. , but if you can’t keep it, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "During these years, Liaodong has been at peace for more than ten years, and the military equipment has long shown signs of slack. I am really worried about them."

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: "The disciple of the minister is in Jinzhou. Since His Majesty thinks he is a very stable person, he has a sword in hand in Jinzhou and is an imperial envoy. Maybe he can unite the whole city and fight the Tatars for a long time. I can't guarantee that he can persevere, but at least I believe that even at the last moment, he will never back down."

Ouyang Zhi...

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Next, it is almost conceivable that a group of crazy Tatars will exhaust all means to choose to attack the city, and once the court sits on the sidelines, this battle of defending the city will also be extremely tragic.

Ma Wensheng from the Ministry of War was most worried about the situation in Jinzhou, and he couldn't help but sighed: "A few days ago, a member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, visited Jinzhou and said that Jinzhou's military equipment was abandoned, and a large number of military equipment was hidden and not used for ten years. It has been several years. In the past ten years, the knives and guns have been stored in the warehouse, and even the iron cannons are all rusty. As for the Zhongtun Wei stationed in Jinzhou, the staff reduction in the Weizhong is very serious. The only thing to be thankful for is nothing more than Because of the strong walls and clear fields, there is still sufficient food, but once the Tatars break through the city, or there are other negligence, the entire Jinzhou may be breached.

Tartars... are not easy to mess with.

After all, these Mongols inherited Temujin’s fighting style back then. Especially after the Western Expedition started, the Mongols went west all the way to attack cities and conquer territories. They already had many methods of attacking cities. .

Furthermore, the people under siege tend to have their morale fluctuated easily. As long as the defenders of the city break down mentally, then... Jinzhou is destroyed, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou will all be finished.
