Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen came over. When these important officials of the court saw the emperor's face, although they were almost the same as usual, they at least did not look angry. They couldn't help but feel relieved. If it was indeed summoned by the Korean War, the result would probably not be bad.

After the ceremony, the chief minister Wen Ti-in first asked their colleagues the question on their minds: "Your Majesty, is the Korean War a result?"

Looking at his somewhat anticipated expression, Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, my Ming soldiers have now returned to Pi Island by boat."

Going back by boat? That's it? This answer is really a bit embarrassing. However, Wen Tiren knew that the result must be good, so the emperor was interested in making such a hilarious joke.

Thinking of this, he was also happy and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation of the battle is?"

This question tickled the itchy part of Emperor Chongzhen. He glanced at the ministers below and saw that they were all paying attention, he said lightly: "It's okay! A total of 4,879 beheaded, all of which were built into Jingguan. It's just a pity that Duoduo, the leader of Jianlu, escaped, but all the food was seized by our army and they were shipped back!"

Hearing this, the Wenhua Hall was quiet for a long time, and these important officials of the court just stared at Emperor Chongzhen, and no one spoke for a moment.

After a while, the Minister of War Shen Yongmao confirmed again with a little disbelief: "Your Majesty, is it more than 400 beheaded or more than 4000? I was in a daze and didn't hear it clearly!"

In fact, he was not in a daze for a moment, but heard it, but it was really hard to believe it. You know, before last year, the Ming army had been defeated. Even if it defeated Jianlu's besieged, there was no head, and they all shouted that there was a great victory. Now they said that they were beheaded more than 4,000. The gap was so big. If a normal person had a normal person, they would indeed suspect that there was something wrong with their ears or that the emperor had misled his tongue.

The other important officials were also in the same way as Shen Yongmao, staring at Emperor Chongzhen to see how he replied.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and did not answer immediately. He entered the chat group and gave the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Wen Tiren and others in the chat group to activate the picture folder permissions for the Korean War, and then chatted privately: "There are photos as evidence, please wait and see!"

In Wenhua Palace, Shen Yongmao waited for a while, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen did not answer, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He even suspected that it was the emperor who knew that he could not put his tongue down and corrected the number of beheadings after he reminded him.

He waited for a while and was about to ask again, but he saw Wen Tiren turning around to face his colleague behind him, and said in an extremely high tone with excitement: "The number of beheadings that Your Majesty said is correct, our Ming army won a great victory!"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo both spoke one after another, saying that the number was correct. However, they did not explain to the ministers, but directly congratulated the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the new army is surprising. It is actually the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty has only trained the new army for half a year. With such a strong army, I am convinced!" Cao Huachun showed an admiration, as if he was almost overwhelmed.

Liu Xingzuo on the other side clasped his fists and said with great enthusiasm: "This is the first time that the last general has seen so many Jianlu heads. If our Ming Dynasty has a new army, we will definitely be able to destroy Jianlu and restore Liaodong!"

Seeing that the two of them were like this, Wen Tiren turned around and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the food seized is far beyond the previous estimate. I think that some of the food can be allocated to the Guanning front line, so that the food originally scheduled to be shipped to Guanning in the capital can be used in Hetao!"

Originally, I heard the few of them saying that the number was correct, the victory, etc. The other ministers were skeptical. But at this time, when the chief minister talked about the disposal of food, people immediately believed it.

After all, you said that the head level was used to build Jingguan and it was impossible to check it, but since the food was transported, it was a real thing and could not deceive people. Besides, since the food could be seized, Jianlu must have suffered a great defeat and paid a heavy price.

Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a little nervousness. If this is true, North Korea's battle not only did not cause him trouble, but instead solved the trouble for him. He naturally cared about it the most.

After listening to Wen Tiren's suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to the ministers: "The reason why I sent you all my beloved ministers is that there is something to discuss and I want to hear your opinions!"

When he heard this, the ministers immediately seemed to listen with concentration and wait for the holy voice.

So Emperor Chongzhen roughly explained the outcome of the Korean war, and then talked about the situation on the Jianlu side, including the dissolution of the alliance and the measures taken by the Jianlu. Finally, he said to the ministers: "Although Jianlu has decided not to go west to Guihua City, I thought, according to the original plan, will Gaizhou still have to fight for winter?"

Hearing this question, Bi Ziyan immediately replied: "Your Majesty, since Jianlu no longer fights the west, why are you fighting? Of course you won't fight!"

If you want to fight, money, grain, weapons, etc. will be consumed like flowing water. For him, the Minister of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, who was not rich, he would naturally save as much as possible.

At this time, he suddenly understood. The reason why the emperor had not answered the Prime Minister's suggestion before was because there was still this matter?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Ziyan and knew that the answer was that the butt determined the head, so he skipped it directly, looked at other ministers, and waited for other proposals.

Wen Tiren pondered for a while, and saw that no one suggested to the emperor, he spoke: "Your Majesty, since Jianlu's life is so sad, why not give them more trouble and let them get through the difficulties!"

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he deeply agrees with Jianlu's current situation. It is also because of this that he made this proposal, and it would be best to kill those Jianlu.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he actually thought this way, but he did not agree immediately, but continued to look at others and finally turned his attention to the Minister of War.

This is a military matter. Shen Yongmao knew that he could not escape, so he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think it's okay if the new army conquers Gaizhou and persists for a winter, I might as well try it. However, if there is any difficulty, I think the Ming Dynasty finally has such a strong army, so I have to cherish it."

This answer is true. Emperor Chongzhen commented in his heart and looked at others.

The assistant minister Zhang Zhifa had always been a rare thing to speak. He inadvertently glanced at another assistant minister Xue Guoguan who had just returned to the capital, and then suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I think you can tell the process of the new army's battle in detail and evaluate it by the Minister of War and other colleagues of the military!"

Thanks to Xue Hui for her reward! I won’t write more than two updates today, so I will take care of myself. Starting next week, I will update according to the conditions for adding updates.
