Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 12 Yu Qian: Your Majesty is so wise

Yu Qian stood on the city wall.

He had just learned in detail that all the troops in the capital city added up to less than 100,000, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

why?
Because the elite main force all died in Tumu Fort.

Faced with such a mess, he remained calm and ordered the troops preparing for drills, preparing for the Japanese invasion, and transporting grain to all localities to immediately set out from their garrisons and arrive in the capital at the specified time.

Anyone who disobeys will be killed!
At the same time, he ordered troops from all over the country to march into Beijing, take grain from government warehouses along the way and transport it to the capital.

This move also solved the food problem for the army.

Because there is not enough food left in the capital, if it is besieged by Yesen's army, there is a danger of food shortage.

After solving the problem of the army, Yu Qian began to train the army, repair the city walls, and deploy defenses.

In just a few days, he became very dark and thin.

"Sir Yu, the emperor has arrived." The personal guard came to report.

Zhu Qizhen and the new Jinyiwei commander Shi Biao climbed up the tower, and Yu Qian and his subordinates hurriedly knelt forward to greet them: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Everyone get up!" Zhu Qizhen raised his hand.

He personally helped Yu Qian up, looked at the darker and thinner Yu Qian, and patted him on the shoulder: "Yu Qian is truly a gift from heaven to me! You have worked hard these days."

"I will do my utmost to defend the capital." Yu Qian bowed.

"Come with me and I will listen to the progress of the defense." Zhu Qizhen walked along the city wall.

He waved back and no one followed him except him and Yu Qian.

Yu Qian followed him and reported the current situation in the capital. He concluded, "Your Majesty, now everyone is not panicking. They know you are in the capital and will not flee. The people will not leave either."

Zhu Qizhen looked at the vast mountains and rivers outside the city and smiled:
"This is not my credit. It is you, Yu Qian, who gave them the confidence and courage!"

“Where there is humility, there is victory!”

……

Yu Qian smiled bitterly.

Zhu Qizhen stopped, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, sighing: "Such a beautiful country, the heroes of the world are fighting for it! In the end, it is the people who suffer."

After hearing this, Yu Qian's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Qizhen laughed out loud: "Emperor Taizong said that Yu Qian is too arrogant and has too many thoughts. You don't love the Zhu family, you love the world. If you are in a high position, you will not die well in the end."

"I don't want to be in a high position either." Yu Qian bowed.

"Hahaha, I know that what you, Yu Qian, care about is the people of the world." Zhu Qizhen spread his hands, "It's not just our Zhu family that controls the world. As an emperor, you're naturally wary of this."

Yu Qian didn't expect the emperor to speak so bluntly, so he smiled helplessly and nodded: "Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, pointed at the people on the streets of the capital, and said:

"In fact, I have some different ideas from previous emperors. Haha, I'll tell you today, don't think it's childish. Anyway, I'm not afraid of losing face. Since ancient times, has there been an emperor more embarrassed than me? I'm just going to throw it all away."

"Yu Qian, have you ever thought about what the world will be like a thousand years from now?"

"I'm telling you, I saw it in my dream!"

Yu Qian frowned slightly, not knowing why His Majesty suddenly talked about such nonsense.

The world a thousand years later?

My Majesty, we may not be able to defend the capital city right now.

"In my dream, a thousand years later, there are 140 million Chinese people, and everyone is a hundred times better than us."

"Generals and ministers are of all races, and all are equal."

"Scholars will no longer regard officials as their parents. They will have opportunities in all walks of life." Zhu Qizhen's voice became more and more excited, and he raised his hand and continued,
"One arrow can penetrate the four seas, destroy a city, or even wipe out a country. China will no longer be bullied by foreign races."

"Even, in the future, China can break through the sky above, become a divine ship, soar up to the Moon Palace, and look down on the world."

Yu Qian was stunned.

This is the world he longs for in his heart, although it is not so exaggerated.

"Yu Qian, you and I, as well as the soldiers in this city, our generation definitely cannot do this." Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian and said, "I hope that we, the monarch and the minister, can join hands and have a good start. In the future, everyone in China will be like a dragon."

"I will do my best to assist Your Majesty." Yu Qian knelt down.

Zhu Qizhen pulled him up with a smile and said, "Knees are not for kneeling. Alas, but in this world, I, the emperor, cannot be too out of place."

The knees are not meant for kneeling.

This sentence shocked Yu Qian again. He was surprised that His Majesty was so wise. Did the failure of Tumu Fort suddenly enlighten His Majesty?

Zhu Qizhen naturally wanted to subdue Yu Qian, but he also understood that even three generations of emperors, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, could not subdue a man like Yu Qian, let alone himself?
However, he had an advantage: he knew what kind of person Yu Qian was and what he was pursuing.

During this meeting, he used the concepts of later generations to shock Yu Qian first.

……

Return to Wuying Palace.

He called Shi Biao and asked him to bring a team of good Jinyiwei soldiers.

"Your Majesty, you want to fight ten of us alone?" Shi Biao was shocked. "No, if I hurt Your Majesty, I will be sentenced to death."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Qizhen shook the unsharpened knife in his hand, "It will probably not be long before we have to fight Yesen to the death. Should I practice hard?"

"But you can't beat ten of them." Shi Biao held his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to say that you are a little too proud."

"You will know if you are arrogant if you try." Zhu Qizhen glanced at them, "If you beat me down, everyone will get a reward!"

Shi Biao spat and said to the Jinyiwei behind him: "Everyone, come together! Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't underestimate His Majesty, I am no match for His Majesty, come together!"

Ten people rushed forward!
Whoosh!
Zhu Qizhen was so fast that only his afterimage was seen, and he knocked Shi Biao away with one punch.

Not long after, ten Jinyiwei were lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses.

Zhu Qizhen spread his hands and laughed wildly: "In the world of martial arts, only speed can not be defeated! Hahaha, although you are defeated, but I still have a reward."

"We thank Your Majesty!" Ten people stood up and bowed.

Shi Biao was puzzled: "Your Majesty, I taught you martial arts, how come you surpassed me so quickly? It's unbelievable."

Zhu Qizhen pointed at himself proudly and said, "Because I am the Son of Heaven!"

He found that his strength and speed were much stronger than before. He felt that if he punched with all his strength, it would have a force of at least 500 kilograms, enough to kill a cow.

His speed was as fast as a ghost, but his current physical strength could not sustain it for long.

Having a golden finger is not enough, you still need to practice hard to improve your physical strength.

He made a physical training plan for himself, determined to strengthen himself.

"I examine myself three times a day!" He ordered, "Shi Biao, from now on, I will practice with you three times a day."

"Ah?" Shi Biao said with a bitter face, "It means that my Royal Guards are lining up to get beaten by you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen shrugged: "If you have the ability, you can also knock me down."

Shi Biao: “!!!”

I must have done something wrong in my previous life.
