"At this time of crisis for the country, as Duke of Qin and General Tiance, I should set an example and rush to Yulin."

Jia Xuan, wearing a dragon robe and jade belt, stood in the center of the hall, facing the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

The officials cared more about his attitude than his request. This was not a request for orders. He was so domineering and arrogant, as if he was the host. Standing under the throne, he was even more elegant than Emperor Yongping on the dragon throne.

"Please, Your Majesty, order Duke Qin to lead the troops to help the northwest."

All the founding nobles followed suit, stepped forward, and shouted loudly as if they were one body.

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was shaken by their voices. Whether it was the civil service camp or the Yuancong nobles, they were all shocked.

Once upon a time, the founding nobles were like a pile of loose sand, but now they seem to have been reborn. Whether it is cohesion or action, they deserve the name of bravery. They face the emperor directly, pressing step by step, and never give in.

"you...."

Emperor Yongping, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had clenched his hands until they turned white, and anger was pent up in his heart.���

This is probably the first emperor who was forced to such an extent by his subjects since the founding of Dajing. How ridiculous!

"His Majesty"

"I am willing to lead the elite battalion to accompany Duke Qin to the northwest!"

No one thought that the leader of the Yuan Cong lineage, Gongcheng Bo Wu Shifan, would actually stand up and echo

"I second the motion!"

Behind him, Shunyi Earl Geng Siyi, Dunhui Earl Shang Yanting, Xuanyi son Shi Qianli, Zhaoyi son Zu Lei and other Yuancong nobles came out one after another.

For a time, the actions of the Yuancong nobles attracted the attention of the whole court. This was because they were sure that Jia Xuan would be able to wipe out the Chahar Mongols, so they chose to bet on Qin Guogong, which was too bold.

On the contrary, the founding lineage was a little furious. If the Yuancong lineage got ahead of them, wouldn't what they did today be making wedding clothes for others?

"His Majesty"

"The Beijing Camp is willing to follow Duke Qin to the northwest!"

Liu Fang and Hou Xiaokangye, who were the left and right generals of the Beijing Camp, spoke up quickly.

There are a total of 200,000 troops in the entire capital. Although they are all new recruits, their skeleton is still there. With a little tempering, they can become a strong army.

Right now, the Beijing Camp and the Elite Camp are both asking for orders to go to the northwest. Doesn't that mean there are no soldiers available in the capital? When

Emperor Yongping, who was at the top, saw this scene, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he said expressionlessly:"What do you think, Duke Qin?"

"The capital cannot be without soldiers"

"The Elite Battalion was formed by integrating the 12th Regiment and is the most familiar one among them.

"Most of the Beijing troops are new recruits, so it won't matter if they are transferred to the northwest."

Looking at Yuan Cong, Jia Xuan spoke without hesitation.

Compared with the founding nobles who have long been twisted into a rope, Yuan Cong did not follow him as the master, so why should he give the opportunity to Yuan Cong's lineage?

"His Majesty!"

"I think what Duke Qin said is very true."

"The capital area must not be without soldiers, but is it a bit too much to send 100,000 troops to Yulin?..."

Wei Dongting, the Minister of War, looked at Jia Xuan with a suspicious expression.

Not only him, but everyone else present also showed disbelief in their eyes.

To put it nicely, the 100,000 Beijing troops were 100,000 strong. To put it bluntly, they had been trained for a total of ten months, and two-thirds of them were new soldiers. In addition, the 50,000 soldiers in Yulin had to deal with 150,000 Mongolian cavalry. Who could guarantee that the Khoshut and Dzungar tribes would not interfere?

"The Minister of War wants to know if it is enough?"

"What do you think?"

Without directly answering Wei Dongting's question, Jia Xuan turned around and asked the founding nobles.

""Tear!"

The next moment, among the founding nobles present, except for the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and the Marquis of Zhenguo Niu Jizong, all tore off their bright and beautiful robes, and put on armor and military uniforms.

"All the heads of the founding lineage are here. What do you think, Minister of War?"

Liu Fang, Earl of Xiuguo, said with unprecedented seriousness.

Boom! As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the hall were shocked.

Even Wu Shifan and others from Yuan Cong's lineage changed their faces. Are they going to go to the battle and leave no one behind?

You know, the crisis facing the northwest is far greater than that of Liaodong. This is not to gain credit, but to risk their lives. If something goes wrong, every household in the founding lineage will have to mourn.

"I have no objection."

When the Minister of War Wei Dongting saw this, his lips moved and he finally uttered four words:

"The northwest is related to Guanzhong, and is also the western gate of the Central Plains. Once it is opened, the consequences will be disastrous."

"In the early years of Shunkang, the second generation of my Jia family, the Duke of Rongguo, the head of Ningguo Mansion and the men fought against the Mongolian Tartars in the vast sea, and in the end, no one was left."

"Today, I swear in the name of the Jia family, in the name of the founding lineage, that as long as I live, I will not allow a single Mongol Tartar to cross Yulin."

"I will go into battle personally and lead the troops in every fight. Anyone who dares to retreat even a step will be killed immediately!"

"All the young men of the founding dynasty in the capital, who are over 18 years old, must go to the battlefield with their weapons and armor, and will not return until the Tartars are defeated."

Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan said again

‘What?’

‘All the men over 18 years old from the founding lineage will go into battle? '

The faces of the civil and military officials were moved, and everyone could not help but raise a little respect for Jia Xuan in front of them.

Such a decision is not something that everyone can make. This is to completely cut off the retreat. There is no other choice but to win.

"His Majesty"

"One hundred thousand Beijing troops have gathered outside the palace gate.

A figure in brocade clothes rushed into the hall, breaking the silent atmosphere. All the officials were shocked.

"You et al...."

Emperor Yongping's pupils shrank sharply, and he was the first to come to his senses.

Apart from the founding lineage, who else could mobilize 100,000 Beijing troops without an imperial decree?

"Step.."

Another round of hurried footsteps came, and several young eunuchs supported Dai Quan, the internal minister of the Daming Palace, who had gray hair and was wearing a bright red python robe.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongping frowned, wondering what the emperor was going to do.

"The Supreme Emperor, in accordance with the will of Heaven, issued an edict: The Northwest is in danger and must be observed"

"I have specially ordered Duke Qin and General Tiance Jia Xuan to lead the 100,000 troops of the capital to march to Yulin, and to allow him to act at his own discretion."

Dai Quan opened the yellow silk in his hand and read aloud:

"This is..."

The officials were all a little pale. The former was not a problem, but the power to act at one's convenience was a bit too great.

This meant that as long as Jia Xuan was willing, even if he controlled Shaanxi Province and recruited soldiers locally, there would be nothing wrong with it from a legal point of view.

"I will obey your order!"

Jia Xuan took the imperial edict from Dai Quan without saying anything.

"Someone come here!"

Without paying any attention to Emperor Yongping on the dragon throne, Jia Xuan faced all the founding heroes and waved his hand:"Send troops!"

"Yes!"

All the founding nobles stood up and bowed.

"BANG!!!"

An inexplicable pressure rose from Jia Xuan's body, and his python robe and jade belt all turned into powder and dissipated, revealing a suit of black armor. He strode towards the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking truly powerful and imposing!

""Clang!"

A group of founding nobles followed behind, and the sound of metal and iron rose and fell. That was the sound of armor rubbing against each other.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongping on the dragon throne walked down the imperial platform with a gloomy face like a puppet. The civil and military officials kept silent, lowered their heads, and quietly followed to the outside of Zijin City.

At this time, outside the gate of the imperial city, a group of stern-faced figures in armor stood solemnly. The leader was the three thousand Longxiang Guards, and then the one hundred thousand Beijing Camp, ready to fight at any time.

The guards guarding the palace had never seen such a scene before. They were as if they were facing a great enemy, and the swords and guns in their hands were full of sweat.

The scene that appeared in the eyes of Emperor Yongping and the civil and military officials was undoubtedly flags covering the sky and murderous aura rising to the sky. It was an unprecedented shock.

"Step..."

Jia Xuan, wearing a black armor and with the Chixiao sword on his waist, walked out slowly and appeared in the eyes of every soldier.

Three thousand Longxiang guards dismounted in unison, knelt on one knee, and shouted:"General!"

""Greetings, Duke Qin!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the capital camp imitated the Dragon Guards, their eyes full of reverence, and they roared in unison.

The sound shook the earth, and the entire capital was trembling. All the people walked out of their homes curiously and looked towards the direction of the palace.

""Huh!!!"

All the civil and military officials who came out later saw this scene and all of them let out a long breath.

No one saw that Emperor Yongping had a strong fear on his face. One hundred thousand troops all worshipped the Duke of Qin. Such prestige far exceeded that of the two Dukes Ning and Rong in the past. Who could treat it calmly?

"Beat the drums!"

Jia Xuan ordered expressionlessly.

"Yes."

A guard riding a dragon rode his horse on the long street and shouted:"The general has ordered, beat the drum!"

""Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the sound of horse hooves spread throughout Zhuque Street, the sound of drums like thunder rang out, shaking people's hearts and making everyone's blood boil.

All 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp raised their heads and stared at the black-armored figure in the front. Everyone was waiting for Jia Xuan.

""Stop!!!"

Jia Xuan shouted, and the drums fell silent, and the scene fell into an unprecedented calm.

"The former Ming dynasty began in the Yuan Dynasty, driving the Mongols to the northern desert. Our dynasty began in the south of the Yangtze River, recovering the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Han territory."

"For hundreds of years, the Mongolian Tartars have continuously invaded the border, causing unrest in the border areas and the people living in misery."

"This is a disgrace as a soldier!"

"Now, there are 150,000 Mongolian Tartars outside Yulin Town, I will lead you to kill them all and pacify the northwest."

"Kill them all! Kill them all!"

The voices of the 100,000 Beijing troops shook the sky, and every face was filled with the determination to fight to the death for the country and stain the battlefield with blood.

This scene made the eyes of the people who gathered around burst into tears.

"This battle was difficult, and many people died on the battlefield."

"I give this order in the name of Duke Qin. If you see me fall off my horse, do not mourn, do not stop charging, follow the banner closely, hold your spears tightly, brandish your swords, and fight to the death!"

"The sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers will last forever, the mountains and rivers of Dajing will last forever!!!"

Holding the Chixiao Sword high, Jia Xuan roared to the sky.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

In an instant, the 100,000 Beijing troops seemed to be aroused to fight, and they raised their arms and shouted.

The sun rose in the sky and the first golden sunlight fell, covering Jia Xuan, and his figure became more ferocious, like a real dragon flying in the sky.

""Go!"

Jia Xuan grabbed the reins, jumped on the horse, and pointed the Chixiao sword in his hand straight ahead.

"Woohoo..."

A melodious horn sounded from the soldiers, and then gradually spread, covering the entire Suzaku Street.

Three thousand Dragon Guards mounted their horses and followed closely behind, galloping away like a real black dragon.

"The whole army, follow up!"

The left general of the Beijing camp, the Earl of Liguo Liu Fang; the right general of the Beijing camp, the Earl of Xiuguo Hou Xiaokang, gave orders in an orderly manner.

All the founding nobles seemed to have found their positions. Even if they were weak, they were at least the third-rank warriors. It was not a big problem to serve as the generals of the army.

The 100,000 soldiers of the Beijing camp marched towards Xuanwu Gate in a formation with cavalry in front, archers in the middle, and infantry in the back.

"Step..."

The dull footsteps mixed with the friction of armors resounded for more than half an hour.

The 100,000 troops gradually disappeared in the morning sun. Only Niu Jizong, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and the Marquis of Zhenguo, did not leave. He was the highest-ranking military officer in the country and the highest-ranking marquis. He could not advance any further, so he might as well stay in Shenjing to look after them.

Looking at the army gradually going away, a smile appeared on the rough face of the former leader of the founding lineage.

For others, the northwest may be facing an unprecedented crisis, but for Jia Xuan, this is just a sure-win battle.

The 100,000 Beijing camps have all practiced the human immortal martial arts. Although it is only the most basic part, as long as they fight on the battlefield, their strength will continue to improve, and they will become stronger and stronger. By then, when they come back, they will not be 100,000 new recruits, but 100,000 tiger soldiers.

As for the other people of the founding lineage, they naturally need to mix some merits with them, which is why all the heads of the families personally go into battle.

As long as they become stronger and stronger, more and more people will join, and sooner or later they will become the only force that controls the court.

By then, what would the emperor and the royal family mean?

""Where is His Majesty?"

The civil and military officials reacted belatedly and looked at the long street that was already empty. The figure in the dragon robe and crown in front of them was nowhere to be found. They were stunned.

"

His Majesty has ordered that the court meeting has been adjourned and you may leave.

‘???’

Hearing this, the ministers were somewhat stunned.

Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary, Minister of Personnel Zhang Tingyu; Dongge Grand Secretary, Minister of War Wei Dongting; Minister of Rites Li Guangdi, Minister of Works Yu Chenglong, Minister of Punishments Yao Qisheng, and Minister of Revenue Zhou Peigong had already left the imperial city.

The others watched their"bosses" leave, and went back to their own homes, each looking for their own mothers.

"Brother Shi, we...."

Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen came to Niu Jizong pitifully and asked softly.

The whole morning, they felt like they had experienced an unprecedented shock. Even now, they were still a little confused and had no idea what to do.

"Brother Zheng"

"You have to report to the Ministry of Works now. The Ministry of Personnel has already informed them."

Glancing at Jia Zheng, Niu Jizong warned him.

This turmoil is not as simple as it seems. The reason why the civil officials did not stop the founding nobles was because they used Qiu Liang's position as the commander of the Five Cities Military Department as a condition for exchange.

In other words, the civil officials got the military power they wanted, even if it was only the Five Cities Military Department, that was enough.

Not only that, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War who had just been beheaded, as well as a group of the Yi Zhong Prince's followers, will be purged. If Jia Zheng continues to stay, the danger will become greater and greater.

""Okay!"

Jia Zheng nodded and left quickly.

"Several brothers"

"Duke Qin has already told you"

"Jia Lian and Jia Rong will go with the army. You will be in charge of the affairs of the two mansions. The maids with swords will guard the mansion to ensure that everything is safe. Just don't make trouble for no reason. Be careful."

Giving a deep look at Jia She and Jia Zhen, Niu Jizong said in a deep voice.

""Don't worry, my brother, we will definitely follow it and will not dare to violate it in the slightest."

Jia She immediately expressed his opinion.

Jia Zhen, who was standing by, heard the news that Jia Rong was going to the war, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and a lustful expression on his face

"Yeah."

After explaining this, Niu Jizong ignored them and turned back to the Zhenguohou Mansion.
