The capital, the imperial palace.

Late at night, the wind howled.

In the side hall next to the Wenhua Hall, Li Shimin came back from his trance.

He actually traveled through a thousand years and became King Zhu Qiyu?

He looked around and saw the Queen Mother sitting on top.

Below are a small group of courtiers who stayed in the capital.

Half an hour ago, Empress Dowager Sun urgently summoned him, the supervisory prince, and his ministers.

It seems like something big is going to be announced?

Soon, battle reports from the Ministry of War were read out one after another.

"In the Battle of Yao'erling, Wu Kezhong, the Honorable Marquis, and Wu Keqin, the Commander-in-Chief, died in battle!"

"In the battle of Jiming Mountain, Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong and Yongshun Bo Xue Shou died in battle!

All 40,000 cavalrymen were wiped out!"

The mournful voice of the Minister of War exploded a thunder among the veterans who stayed in the capital.

What, the Ming army was defeated?

Before they could scream, the shocking news hit them again.

"In the Battle of Tumubao, all 500,000 troops were wiped out."

Everyone who heard this, all the blood in their bodies rushed to their brains.

They were shocked and speechless, as if someone had pinched their throats.

However, this is not all the bad news.

"Grand Master Ying Gong Zhang Fu died in battle, Taining Marquis Chen Ying died in battle, and Prince Consort Jing Yuan died in battle!

Wang Zuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, died in the battle, Kuang Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of War, died in the battle, and Cao Nai, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, died in the battle!"

The list of fifty-two people killed in battle shocked the ministers more than the annihilation of half a million troops.

Everyone in it was a mainstay of the imperial court, and there were many pillar-like existences!

Until the last sentence of the battle report

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is hunting in the north and gathering dust!"

It's better to call it Bei Shou, but if it's not so good, it means being defeated and captured!

After suffering such a heavy blow, the elderly minister finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Your Majesty!"

After wailing, he fainted on the spot.

In the hall, three or four veterans fell to the ground one after another.

"His Majesty!", the officials were in panic, and the scene became a mess.

The heartbroken ones knelt down and blamed themselves, feeling guilty for why they did not try their best to stop the emperor's personal expedition! The extremely sad ones knelt down and wailed, as if it was difficult to accept the reality that the army was defeated and the emperor was captured!

The noise made the next king Zhu Qiyu, no, Li Shimin, more awake.

He immediately realized the significance of the fiasco at Tumubao.

Hundreds of thousands of elites in the imperial court were wiped out, and most of the important ministers in the imperial court were killed. Dukes, marquises and other military honors There were many casualties.

More importantly, the emperor was captured by the enemy!

What a shame!

"Silence, silence!"

The Empress Dowager Sun, who was on the throne, rebuked the ministers in the palace.

She wanted to restore order as much as possible and listen to the opinions on the next emergency response.

However, under such a heavy catastrophe, the ministers were like crazy.

How could they care? The Queen Mother's voice!

The palace is still in chaos, with constant wailing and grief.

Of course, some people have come out of shock and sadness.

"All quiet!

Quiet!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, now the head of civil servants, shouted sideways and loudly several times.

Only then did the scene regain order, but many ministers were still in tears.

It was difficult to get over the shadow of the Tumubao fiasco.

"Prince Tan, as the supervisor, you should give the order immediately.

Summon King Qin's army into the capital and prepare for the Oara army to go south!"

The words of Yu Qian, the Minister of War, made the hearts of the ministers fall to the bottom again!

Yes, the Tumu Fort defeat is endless!

The army of more than 100,000 tiles in the north will definitely not give up after such a huge victory!

"Yes, please give the order quickly!"

Li Shimin keenly discovered that although the ministers in front of him were talking to him, they were all looking at the Queen Mother Sun's side.

He didn't react until he inherited all the memories of the original owner.

The emperor's personal expedition, and the supervision of the country by King Tan was just an empty show. In fact, The Queen Mother was still in charge.

Li Shimin turned to look at the Queen Mother Sun, who was lost in thought.

In the face of a powerful enemy, he would not sit silently and act like a mascot like the original owner.

Then he turned to look at Yu Qian, the Minister of War, and got straight to the point. asked

"Sir, how many people can be mobilized around the capital now?"

After hearing this, Yu Qian looked at Queen Mother Sun. Since King Tan had asked a question, he immediately replied.

"The garrison forces of the two capitals, Shandong, and Henan can be mobilized to fight against the Japanese army."

"how much time is required? What about the logistics and armament situation?"

"The coastal garrison, about 40,000, can enter Beijing in January, and the rest of the country, totaling 150,000, can enter Beijing in two months.

The food and grass in Jiangbei and the capital are barely enough, and the equipment is sufficient."

Li Shimin's calmness and understanding of military matters shocked many ministers at the scene. Why is King Tan different today?

Isn't he a stubborn leader? Shouldn't he be panicking now?

Why did he bypass Queen Mother Sun? Became the backbone of the current hall?

"There are tens of thousands of fighting soldiers and hundreds of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, which is enough to defend the city."

Li Shimin collected the combat power of the Oara army and the imperial army in his mind.

After making a comparison, he quickly made a decision.

"The Ministry of War immediately issued King Qin's documents to various places and quickly transported grain, grass and ordnance to Beijing.

In addition, northern sergeants were dispatched to garrison Juyongguan and Tucheng in the north to gain preparation time."

The aura of domineering revealed involuntarily made the veterans feel in a trance. The person on the seat seemed to have turned into Taizong Zhu Di! Empress Dowager

Sun was also surprised and looked at the other party in surprise.

Even though she is proficient in the art of power struggle, she can After all, she had lived in the harem for a long time. She was so distraught under such bad news that she subconsciously obeyed the other party.

"The Ministry of War, please give the order immediately as King Tan said."
