Liu Ruoyu couldn't help but be stunned, pulled Xu Xianchun to the blue yarn cabinet behind a screen and asked, "What's the urgent matter?"

Xu Xianchun hurriedly told Liu Ruoyu that he was a little calm, without any emotional expression, and ordered Xu Xianchun:

"Let the Jinyiwei in Liaodong find out in detail. If it is just a normal robbery, it is not a big deal. At that time, the envoy will be sent to blame and punish the criminals;

If there is any conspiracy and take the opportunity to provoke our Ming Dynasty and raise military affairs, report it immediately! At the same time, pay attention to the movements of Jiannu and Wu Xiang’s troops, and be sure to find out whether the three of them are colluding!”

"Receive the order!"

Xu Xianchun really wanted to say that the Jinyiwei had been paying attention, but thinking that Eunuch Liu was busy discussing military aircraft with His Majesty and others, he seemed not to have much to say, so he stepped down.

Here, Liu Ruoyu walked in and came straight to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, just brought the news. The Korqin tribe took advantage of the opportunity of our Liaodong officials coming to Beijing to report their duties and suddenly attacked Liaoyang Prefecture. More than ten regiment forts in the original military farm were captured, and more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians were killed. Kong Youde's troops in Dongjiang had retreated to Phoenix City."

The officials who were already yelling with His Majesty on the huge map wall of the West Nuan Pavilion were stunned. The whole scene became extremely quiet, and the quiet needle could be heard.

Zhu Youxiao also stopped his hand that was about to pat the armrest in the air, and immediately stood up and snatched the chalk from Lu Xiangsheng's hand.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Chang Yanling and Qin Botong to lower the map, and then they came to the map of Liaodong, and drew a circle at the location where Korqin was. Just as they were about to find the location of Liaoyang, Lu Xiangsheng came and immediately pointed out the location of Liaoyang and said:

"Your Majesty, this is Phoenix City. Most of this area is dense forests and few people. Since taking office, I ordered Mao Wenlong to log and build more than 50 castles here and reclaim thousands of hectares of land. However, the castles are all made of local materials and use wooden cities as walls. I thought that when the weather was a little warmer, I would recruit a group of people from the mainland to farm and repack bricks, but I didn't expect that the Tartars were so bold that they dared to rob my people!"

As Lu Xiangsheng said, he bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "I am neglecting my duty, please punish him."

At this time, Sun Chengzong stood up:

"You can't blame Mr. Lu Ge. These Mongolian tribes in the northern border areas, like Jiannu, often plunder our borders, take away cattle and sheep, and plunder the population. However, they are not large every time, with hundreds of cavalry at least dozens of cavalry. It is also common to destroy dozens of villages. When our army is mobilized to fight, he retreated again, which makes our army very embarrassed. In this way, it is not surprising, let alone, it is not the time to offend the Mongolian tribe, otherwise it should be better to stop."

Zhu Youxiao did not speak, but continued to look at the map. The entire Liaodong area was centered on Shengjing, which was now occupied by Jiannu, that is, Shenyang, and the southwest was the Ningyuan and Jinzhou area occupied by Wu Xiang's troops. The most important checkpoint in the Ming Dynasty is now Shanhaiguan!

The north side of Shanhaiguan is adjacent to the Chahar tribe, and the Chahar tribe is next to the Khalkha tribe. The Korqin tribe and the Tumote tribe are between the Khalkha tribe and the Qing Dynasty. The left wing of the Korqin tribe is not far from Haizhou Wei, but entering the Liaohe territory will inevitably arouse the alertness of Wu Xiang tribe and Jiannu. But now both sides are blind, and the newly reclaimed castle of their Ming Dynasty was robbed by the Korqin tribe under their noses, and they also lost more than 4,000 people!

Although people are as scary as dogs these days, let alone in the area outside the pass, it has become the norm for the Ming Dynasty to throw away the city and abandon the people. Now, I am shocked to hear more than 4,000 people being killed. For the officials of the border town who are used to separation from life and death, they can no longer be furious and want to take revenge immediately.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong also proposed the theory of "stop the flag and drums".

At this time, Wang Zaijin also stood up: "I asked Your Majesty. I believe that what Xincheng Bo (Sun Chengzong) said was very good. Now the situation in Liaodong seems stable, but there is a surging undercurrent. Jiannu and Wu Xiang tribes and our Liaodong Dongjiang soldiers have formed a three-legged tripod. The most important thing now is who the Mongolian tribes in the northern border support. Now, because Your Majesty allows bilateral trade, the Korqin tribes and the Kalkha tribes have become close to Jiannu and changed to being close to our Ming Dynasty. If this happens, we will rashly provoke a battle with the Korqin tribes, which is unwise and will completely push the Mongolian tribes to the Jiannu side."

Zhu Youxiao still didn't say anything. Although he had made a decision in his heart, as a decision maker, he would not easily express his ideas, especially those involving the national strategic level.

At least these officials cannot see their thoughts, otherwise these officials who are as smart as others will follow their own ideas and do not express their true views.

Now that he has been an emperor for a long time, Zhu Youxiao is very familiar with these Jinshi masters. As long as you reveal a little information, they can tell a long list of truths. Even if the opinions he originally thought do not match yours, he can quickly change the logic.

In order to calm down, Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup in his hand, opened it to blow away the heat, and then ate it carefully.

Seeing that His Majesty did not express his opinion, it was hard for him to continue talking. The two had to stand aside with their hands hanging down. The hands in their broad sleeves were tightly pinching, and sweating began to fall on their foreheads, fearing that their reckless actions just now would cause His Majesty to be unhappy.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to stare at the map and ponder. He was responsible for the entire Liaodong Peninsula, but he was looted by the Tartars in the area where he was responsible. Perhaps it was not a serious crime of beheading, but there were crimes of negligence.

Lu Xiangsheng began to reflect on his own that he should not underestimate the Mongolian force too much, which made him focus mainly on dealing with Wu Xiang's troops and Jiannu.

Sun Chuanting simply closed his eyes and rested. He was not very concerned about such foreign wars. As the governor of Datong, he was indeed responsible for many checkpoints, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was difficult for the Tartars to get benefits from his territory, so his feelings were not strong and he could not make any suggestions, so he did not intend to interfere.

The generals were not used to speaking in front of His Majesty and a group of senior civil servants. They were more willing to look at the bosses quietly and only accept orders.

The young generals of the Imperial Guard are still young in this regard. They have no experience and are not easy to say anything. What's more, because His Majesty and the Chief Instructor Lu Xiangsheng are there, they are even more difficult to speak casually.

Only Yang Sichang's eyes kept rolling, his mouth opened and closed for a while, as if he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Youxiao captured his performance, put down his teacup, and then ordered: "Yang Sichang, the left minister of the Ministry of War!"

Yang Sichang reacted quickly and immediately stood up, bowing respectfully to Zhu Youxiao: "I'm here!"

"What do you think about this?" Zhu Youxiao asked hurriedly.
