Anyway, no matter what issue is discussed, after three sentences, it becomes a partisan struggle between the strict party and the Qingliu.

As for whether it will delay national affairs?The most important national event is to beat the old man Yan Ge.

Overthrow the elder Yan Ge who has dominated the government for 20 years, sweep away the filth in the court, make the court full of justice, and naturally the world is peaceful.

Mr. Yan Ge has occupied the position of chief assistant for 20 years. If you don't give up his position, how can others take the position?Seats are limited, the top seat is vacant, and then moved in order, everyone can move, and they can all take positions that are more suitable for contributing to the community.

So... Even if the Tatar cavalry invaded the border and Datong was in a hurry, Qingliu in the court was still complaining about the elder Yange.

As for what to do once Datong breaks through and the Tatar cavalry invades... Qingliu said: What's the big deal?It's not that the Tatar cavalry have never fought in.Anyway, it was just looting, and they went back, and they couldn't break through Yanjing, so what were they afraid of?

The noisy imperial meeting lasted for three days.

As for the effect... Qingliu sprayed down several strict party officials.Under the counterattack of the strict party, several people who were corrupt and broke the law were overthrown.Both sides suffered losses, but each celebrated their victory.

Then, the bigwigs finally had time to get down to business.

Zhang Juzheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, proposed, "Order Yunjianbo to lead his army northward to fight against the Tatars."

Yan Dang thinks this statement is justified.Since Uncle Yunjian can fight and knows how to fight, it is very appropriate for him to lead the troops northward.

Qingliu felt that, anyway, I don't need to fight, it's the same for anyone.

Emperor Jiajing also felt that it was a good idea to ask Lu Li to send troops to the north, so he reached out and knocked on the jade chime, approving the suggestion.

A problem that could be solved with just one sentence, it took three days of arguing before they came up with a solution.

So... Lu Li received an order to lead his army north to resist the Tatar invasion.

Seeing this military order, Lu Li was speechless for a long time.

It takes a long time for large troops to march from Songjiang Prefecture to Datong.

The military order decided by the court with a slap on the head, did not consider waiting until the army arrived in Datong, and the Tatars had already finished their work?

Along with the military order, there are also emergency documents from the Datong border.Seeing the number of Tatar cavalry, Lu Li couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

20 Tatar cavalry, this is not easy to fight.

The 5000 troops of Jinshanwei alone must not be able to defeat 20 Tatar cavalry.

So... Those new recruits who have just completed three months of military training and have preliminary combat effectiveness must also go into battle.

Lu Li took all [-] soldiers out of Jinshan Guard, Baoshan Guard, and Kunshan Guard, leaving only the Songjiang garrison and Songjiang naval forces to guard the lair.

When fighting in winter, material preparation is more important.

Fortunately, Lu Li's military uniform design already included winter clothing.

It is worth mentioning that these winter clothes are down jackets made from the feathers of chickens, ducks and geese.

You said that the textile density is not enough, and the down jacket will lose hair?The wisdom of the working people is infinite.Brush a thin layer of isinglass on the inner layer of the fabric, and it will be waterproof, so what hair will shed?

Down jackets, big-toed leather shoes, cotton hats, gloves, and [-] troops equipped with a full set of cold-proof clothing, raised the bright red sun and moon banner, and marched toward the north mightily.

Followed by a huge convoy.In addition to artillery, ammunition, and other military supplies, there is also a huge amount of military rations.

While gathering troops and preparing supplies, Lu Li was still thinking about how to get to Datong quickly.

If you go by land, it is the end of the year, and there is ice and snow everywhere.Marching in the cold wind and snow is even more difficult.

By water?Is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal frozen over?

Shipping?It seems that the Bohai Sea will also freeze, right?

What the hell is going on?

After marching thousands of miles on ice and snow, it was at least a month later when they arrived in Datong.

It is unknown how many non-combat attrition will be caused by rushing all the way through the ice and snow.

What a mess!Big brothers in the DPRK and China, can you use your brains before giving orders?

Perhaps in the eyes of the bosses, how normal is it for some soldiers to be killed or injured?Completely ignored.

no!There must be a way.

The land route cannot be taken, and the sea route will encounter the freezing of the Bohai Sea...

etc.By sea, you can go to Dengzhou or Weihai.Then, since the Bohai Sea is frozen, let's go skating!

Thinking of this, Lu Li already had an idea, and quickly ordered: "Look for a boat! I want a boat from the big families in the Su and Song prefectures, and I want to transport troops to Dengzhou."

Chapter 396 A Thousand Miles Away

Along the southeast coast of Daming, there are many people who go out to sea by boat.

Even Lu Li's "family" once had someone go to sea.The origin of Lu Li's identity is that Lu Lijiu was allowed to occupy the magpie's nest because the eldest son of the Lu family took the young master out on a boat and never returned.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the sea is naturally banned officially, but in fact...there are few families of gentry in the southeast who do not go to sea by boat.

Under such circumstances, it would not be a problem for Lu Li to collect ships to transport [-] troops and military supplies.

Of course, because of the ban on the sea, it is illegal to go out to sea to run a boat.

Lu Li, the general of the Songjiang army, also has the function of cracking down on "smuggling" going out to sea.Coupled with Lu Li's frighteningly strong record, Lu Li's request for sea ships to transport troops and horses from various companies was supported smoothly.

Three days later, on the Jinshan Port built on the southeast coast of Jinshanwei, hundreds of ships were docked densely.

The overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was actually very prosperous.

The Spanish ducks worked hard all over the world to scoop up gold and silver, and two-thirds of the gold and silver were sent to Daming, where they were exchanged for silk porcelain, and they happily took them back to show off.

Looking at the densely packed ships in front of him, Lu Li sighed.

Prosperous overseas trade is actually a good thing.The only problem is... the imperial court doesn't receive a penny.As a result, the Ming treasury had no money, but the money in the families of officials and gentry was piled up like mountains.

What made Lu Li even more admirable was... the large sea ships in front of him were actually very similar in shape to treasure ships, and they belonged to smaller treasure ships.

Liu Daxia set fire to the blueprint of the treasure ship, and then...his family became one of the largest maritime merchants in Ming Dynasty.Hehe, have the blueprints of the treasure ship been burnt, you can take a closer look.

After Lao Tzu's destroyer is built, I want to see who dare not pay taxes!

Of course, that's for later.

"The whole army obeys the order and boards the ship!"

With a wave of Lu Li's hand, the soldiers under his command lined up neatly and boarded the ship one after another.

All kinds of military supplies were also loaded onto the ship. In addition to guns, ammunition, food, and grass, there were also sleds specially made by Lu Li.

The sled is naturally for the part of the road that is frozen over the Bohai Sea.

The ice layer along the Bohai Sea has an average thickness of 20 centimeters.Such solid ice is completely a highway!

The entire marching route took a boat from Songjiang Prefecture to Dengzhou.Then disembark at Dengzhou and turn to Laizhou by land.The ice on the Bohai Sea in the north of Laizhou is already thick enough, and then I took a sled to Jinmen.

Lu Li estimated that within ten days, the army would reach the capital.Within half a month, they will be able to go to the border of Datong.

This speed is at least two or three times faster than marching thousands of miles through wind and snow.

……

On Jinshanwei Wharf, the intense and orderly boarding lasted for half a day.

Fifteen thousand troops boarded the ship one after another, and all kinds of military supplies were loaded.Lu Li gave an order and set sail.

Four days and four nights later, the fleet arrived in Dengzhou.

This speed was faster than Lu Li expected.It seems that the navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty is not bad.What is worse is the imperial court, and the navigation skills in private hands are not bad at all.

When he landed in Dengzhou, Lu Li could already see the ice floes on the sea.

When the army went ashore, it took another half a day to load and unload supplies.Marched on land for one day and arrived in Laizhou.

Laizhou coast has been completely frozen.

The army camped outside Laizhou City and spent another two days repairing.

Replace spiked horseshoes, swap wagon wheels for sleds, and assemble troop sleighs.

Due to the lack of mules and horses, Lu Li almost wiped out all the mules, horses, donkeys and cattle in Denglai and bought them all.Only then did the animals for pulling the troop sleigh be assembled.

In addition, Lu Li also sent a vanguard to step on the ice layer of the Bohai Sea to check the thickness of the ice layer and plan the marching route.

On the third day, the army dispatched, along the small flagpole erected by the vanguard on the ice, took a sleigh cart, and rushed all the way to the capital.

I have to say that gliding on the ice is really fast.

Two days later, the army arrived in Jinmen.

The bigwigs in Yanjing City were shocked to learn that Lu Li had led his army to Jinmen after receiving the express message delivered by Jinmen Kuaima.

So fast?

Everyone knows the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast, but the question is how to be fast?

It has been less than ten days since Yunjianbo's army set out.This has arrived in Jinmen?

In the afternoon of that day, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China were even more horrified.

Because... Lu Li's army has already arrived outside Yanjing City.

The reason why it can be so fast is mainly because the ground in the northern border is also covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and sleds are also suitable for land.

The army camped outside Yanjing City.Lu Li sent people to deliver orders to the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion as usual.

Logically speaking, when an honorable general of Lu Li's level led his troops to Beijing, Emperor Jiajing would have summoned him.

However... Emperor Jiajing, who was preoccupied with cultivating immortals, never thought of this problem at all.

The emperor did not say that he would summon Lu Li, so it was not convenient for the bigwigs in the court to meet Lu Li.What do you want to meet with the general who holds a heavy army and is stationed outside Yanjing City?

So, Lu Li came all the way to the capital, but no one paid any attention to him.

They were stationed outside Yanjing City overnight, and the next morning, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Armed Forces Commander's Mansion delivered a military order, ordering Lu Li to lead the army to set off immediately and rush to the border of Datong.

After receiving the military order, Lu Li curled his lips and ordered the camp to be dismantled and the entire army assembled.

Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses lined up neatly, holding high the bright sun and moon banner, standing outside Yanjing City, shouting in the direction of Yanjing City.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

"Da Ming is mighty!"

"Da Ming is mighty!"

The army shouted in unison, and the mighty and mighty voice was like a tsunami and landslide, sweeping all directions.

At this moment, mighty shouts echoed between heaven and earth.

Countless people in Yanjing City were alarmed by the shouts, and turned their heads to look outside the city.

The one who shouted was Daming Mighty, so naturally it wasn't a Tatar attack.

But... When did my Ming Dynasty have such a majestic military might?

Near the city gate, countless people stretched their necks and looked at the strange army outside the city.

The bright red sun and moon banner is waving in the wind.

A large army dressed in black lined up neatly, marching in neat steps, rumbling past the city.

Apart from the sound of orderly footsteps, there was no noise in this army.

The queue is neat and tidy, as if measured with a ruler.Even during the march, the neat queue is not in the slightest disorder, it is still neat and tidy.

Where is this army from?

When did my Ming Dynasty have such a strong army?

At the gate of the city, Zhang Juzheng, the servant of the Ministry of War, looked up at the neat army formation in front of him, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he was amazed.

Uncle Yunjian is worthy of being a famous general in the world, with such a powerful army, he has the potential to swallow thousands of miles with anger.

……

Datong Fucheng.

Datong General Soldier Zhang Qin sat in front of the table, looking at the map in front of him, his face clouded with gloom.

Daming set up a total of 24 guards and 72 forts in Datong Prefecture to fortify the city with strong troops to resist the Tatar cavalry in the north.

Now, on the map placed in front of Zhang Qin, the commander-in-chief, Fort 72 on the outskirts has been covered with red "×", and almost all of them have fallen to the enemy.
