Chapter 458 Need to cool down

Wen Tiren took Su Tiancheng, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others directly into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

On the main hall, Zhu Youjian smiled and couldn't help but feel excited. Zhu Youjian should have waited for the ministers to arrive before he could take over the Supreme Hall, but he couldn't help it.

The Jinyiwei guarded more than a dozen Tartar prisoners and waited outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Many ministers looked at the embarrassing Tartar prisoners, some impatient ministers even spit at the Tartar prisoners. Of course, they are much more civilized than the common people, but from the eyes, if they were on the street, they might also go forward and get fists and feet on their bodies, and the court ministers also hated the Tartars.

"I pay homage to the Emperor, long live the Emperor..."

"Don't give up on the courtesy, Su Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, you are the heroes of my Ming Dynasty and the greatest heroes."

Su Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. Zhu Youjian was too impatient.

"Emperor, I dare not. The Jiangning Camp defends the country and protects the Ming Dynasty. It is a duty. If the Tatars are allowed to plunder, it is a dereliction of duty. Although the Jiangning Camp wiped out 20,000 Tatars, the leader of Ajige still has 80,000 Tatars, and is plundering in the Baoding Prefecture area. The Jiangning Camp still has a heavy responsibility. Only by expelling the Tatars from our Ming Dynasty situation can the Jiangning Camp be considered to have completed the task."

Su Tiancheng had carefully considered what he said. He needed to cool down. The Tartars' combat effectiveness was extraordinary. With more than 30,000 people from the Jiangning Camp and the Datong border troops who came to reinforce, it was impossible to annihilate 80,000 Tartars. If it was not done well, it might cause heavy losses. The emperor and the court ministers must think that the Jiangning Camp was invincible. If you can annihilate all Tartars, you must first clarify your goals.

Zhu Youjian was indeed stunned for a moment.

"Su Aiqing, Jiangning Camp has achieved such a huge victory, why not take advantage of the victory to chase the Tartars."

"Emperor. In the Battle of Fangshan, the Jiangning Camp and the Datong border army wiped out more than 14,000 Tartars, but their own losses were also heavy, with nearly 10,000 soldiers casualties, especially the Datong border army, and nearly 7,000 people. Lord Hong led the remaining Jiangning Camp soldiers to Fangshan County today. The total strength of the Jiangning Camp and the Datong border army was more than 50,000. With these forces, it is possible to drive away the Tartars. But annihilation of the Tartars is not possible for the time being."

"Oh, the loss in Fangshan was so huge."

"Yes, my previous opinion was to fight the Tartars in the capital area. Fighting the Tartars so that the Tartars would not dare to enter our Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, so that the court could do its best to eliminate the bandits and let the people live and work in peace. Only under such conditions can we consider taking the initiative to attack the Later Jin."

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and didn't speak for the time being.

Wen Tiren opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Su said is feasible. Ajige led 80,000 Tartars. After learning that he lost 20,000 Tartars, he would definitely launch an attack. The Jiangning Camp and the Datong border army still have a great responsibility and must resist 80,000 Tartars. Be cautious. I think the emperor's plan is feasible. After expelling the Tartars, the Jiangning Camp will do its best to eliminate bandits. The provincial prefectures and county officials are committed to people's livelihood, so that the people can live and work in peace, and gather the strength of our Ming Dynasty. When the time is ripe, attack the Later Jin and recover the lost earth and fire to refine the starry sky."

After Wen Tiren spoke, the other cabinet ministers also made statements.

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly.

"Well, what you all say makes sense. I still say the same thing. When fighting the Tartars, Su Aiqing will stop at the moment. Including me, you will not interfere with your deployment. Fight as much as you should. A few days ago, Su Aiqing promised to wipe out 20,000 Tartars in front of me. In just a few days, the goal has been achieved, but Su Aiqing cannot satisfy it. I hope that Jiangning Camp will achieve greater victory."

"I obey the order."

Su Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. What he was afraid of was that Zhu Youjian made new requests on the main hall, so that Jiangning Camp could not do it, which might cause significant losses. Now it seems that such a situation has been avoided.

Next is to offer prisoners.

A Duoga was a general of the governor and even the family of the prince Ajige. He was captured alive by the Jiangning camp, which was very encouraging. The significance of offering prisoners this time was far greater than the previous few times. After all, the bandits were civil strife, and later they were fighting against the invasion of foreign races.

The same is true for the court ministers. They all think that the harassment of bandits and the mutiny of the Ming soldiers was an internal problem. Because life was unsustainable and could be forgiven, many people still pleaded for them after capturing the bandits' leaders. Many people also agreed with the court's policy of recruiting bandits, but their attitude towards the Later Jin Dynasty was completely different.

The few people whom everyone hated were Kong Youde and Geng Zhongmin Kexi. The three of them were originally generals of the Ming Dynasty, but they rebelled because of their own interests and eventually surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. This was not only a shame for Kong Youde and others, but also a shame for the Ming Dynasty. Such a person would not be able to be easily forgiven if he was captured.

When A Duoga and others were taken into the hall, there were hatred eyes inside the hall.

Su Tiancheng was a little nervous. He didn't want to kill A Duoga. If he had such an idea, he would have taken action long outside Fangshan County. There was no need to escort A Duoga to the capital. No matter what, A Duoga's identity is the deputy general and the general of the prince Ajige. This is a good bargaining chip. It is the most cost-effective to exchange some things through A Duoga.

There are still many brave generals like A Duoga in the Later Jin Dynasty. If one person is lost, it will be impossible to hurt the muscles and bones.

However, seeing the eyes of the ministers, I wish I could cut A Duoga and others into pieces.

Zhu Youjian tried his best to suppress his anger and spoke slowly.

"Su Aiqing, these Later Jin Tartars, I beheaded them and showed them to the public, so that the people in the capital would come to visit and see them. This is the end of the invasion of our Ming Dynasty."

Su Tiancheng gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have different opinions."

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and others had pale faces. They thought there was something wrong with Su Tiancheng's head, so they beheaded A Duoga and others, which just inspired the hearts of the soldiers and the people. What's wrong with this? Is Su Tiancheng still thinking about subduing A Duoga? After all, it's a foreign race, how could he be heartbroken?

"Su Aiqing, why did you say that?"

Zhu Youjian's tone was very bad. Although his expression had not changed on his face, he could tell that he was dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, I think that killing Aduoga will not get the greatest benefit. Keeping Aduoga and making a deal with the Later Jin is the most cost-effective thing."

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, he didn't even think of this level.

"Oh, hurry up, how did Su Aiqing think about it."

"Emperor, Aduoga is the family general of Prince Ajige. He is originally a deputy general. His identity is very good. I think that Aduoga can be exchanged for Kong Youde, Geng Zhongmin or any of Shang Kexi's people. The three of them surrendered to the enemy and stolen the country and have been named kings and princes. I believe that Huang Taiji would not have made such a deal. In this way, wouldn't Huang Taiji have to face Ajige's chastity and also deal with the barbarians of the Later Jin Dynasty? Why protect the Han people and are unwilling to exchange for the full text of the Twenty-Fourth Superintendent of the Ming Dynasty? This will definitely cause disunity within them, which is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."

A smile began to appear on Zhu Youjian's face.

"If Huang Taiji is unwilling to exchange, it will be feasible for the court to kill A Duoga at that time."

"I think such a thing that is the best of both worlds is certainly possible."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly.

"My dear friends, I think that Su Aiqing's proposal is indeed feasible. You might as well exchange it with the Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty. What do you think?"

Wen Tiren opened his mouth first.

"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. Such a matter of the best of both worlds, I will discuss it."

Many ministers agreed.

Zhu Youjian spoke with a smile on his face.

"Okay, then that's it. Take A Duoga and others to prison and take strict supervision."

After seeing A Duoga and others being escorted out, Zhu Youjian sighed softly.

"It would be great if Ajige could be captured alive."

Everyone in the hall heard this sentence.

Su Tiancheng's face turned pale and he captured Ajige alive. What a joke? This is not a casual thing. He is the prince of the Later Jin Dynasty. If the many personal guards around him were caught so simply, it also means that the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is too unremarkable.

Su Tiancheng lowered his head and pretended not to see the eyes around him.

At this time, he would not express his opinion, and would not say anything. It was obviously impossible, but it would be better for him to say nothing.

The matter of commendation on Jiangning Camp is not yet at the time of discussion. The 80,000 Tartars led by Ajige are still plundering in the Baoding Prefecture area. Of course, Ajige will soon receive news. The 100,000 troops brought by the 100,000 troops have been wiped out by the Jiangning Camp of the Ming Dynasty. I believe that after Ajige gets this news, he will definitely be furious and take all the Tartars to retaliate wildly.

Zhu Youjian did not try to keep Su Tiancheng and others.

Leaving the Palace of Yangxin, Su Tiancheng walked out of the Forbidden City under the gaze of the ministers.

The eunuch who escorted Su Tiancheng away from the Forbidden City, walked out of the Meridian Gate, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Su Tiancheng.

"Mr. Su, this is a letter from Eunuch Wang who wants his servants to bring you."

Su Tiancheng nodded, took the letter, and gave the eunuch a ingot of gold.

The eunuch did not refuse and showed a flattering smile on his face.

Su Tiancheng did not stay in the capital, and he was going to return to Fangshan County immediately. The next plan had been arranged. Hong Chengchou and Jiangning Camp soldiers had already arrived in Fangshan County.

Su Tiancheng wanted to continue to set up an ambush in Fangshan County, where he attacked the 80,000 Tatar army led by Ajige. This time, all the soldiers of Jiangning Camp arrived in the capital. Su Tiancheng had enough confidence to defeat the Tatars.
