Chapter 552: Deputy Privy Councilor (two chapters and one chapter)
Thank you very much to classmate Boyhoods99, classmate sleepless in the rain, and classmate ra t2011 for your reward!
After resigning from the court, Luo Xin hurriedly returned home. At this time, Luo Xin's family only knew that Datong City was broken, and it would not take long for Huang Taiji to come to the city, but he still didn't know that Luo Xin had already covered the war. So, as soon as Luo Xin returned home, his grandparents, uncle, parents, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, and uncle surrounded him.
At this time, grandparents, uncle and others were deeply grateful to Luo Xin, and at the same time, they deeply admired Luo Xin's vision. At that time, Luo Xin sent Lu Zhonglian back to Shanglin Village and asked them to go to Beijing immediately, but they were unwilling to do so. It was not that they were unwilling to go to Beijing, but that they were reluctant to give up their property. Moreover, Lu Zhong even didn't give them time to change their property and let them set off immediately, which made them very angry.
However, Lin Chang and Zhang Shu came to persuade each other, and said that they would set off for the capital tomorrow. They reluctantly followed Lu Zhonglian to the capital. Looking back at this time, if Luo Xinyan had not ordered Lu Zhonglian to bring them into the capital as quickly as possible, they would have died in the war.
So, at this time, they looked at Luo Xin with a little awe. Although they surrounded Luo Xin, they did not dare to speak casually. They couldn't help but look at Luo Ping. Luo Ping said anxiously:
"No, Datong's city is really broken?"
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded with a serious expression.
"That...prairie..."
"The troops will soon be at the city."
"Then us?"
Luo Xin took a breath and said, "Your Majesty appointed me as Privy Councilor's Imperial, and overview of military affairs..."
Luo Xin suddenly jumped up from the chair, and he suddenly remembered that the army needed to stick to the capital, and the army was ranked first, and the army weapon department was in the suburbs of Beijing. In the shortest time, before Huang Taiji came to the city, the general army weapon department moved into the capital.
Luo Xin rushed out of the door step by step and shouted, "Daqing, prepare for the horse."
Originally, after Luo Xin became an official in the capital, he had already begun to follow the rules of the literati in the capital, but instead rode a horse instead of riding a sedan chair. However, at this time, he no longer cared about the rules, turned over and rushed out of the gate, and galloped towards the palace.
The sign of his Zhongshuo Sect was shown at the access control office, and then he walked quickly towards the imperial study room. He came all the way outside the imperial study room, and there was a eunuch who reported it, and then entered the imperial study room. Seeing Luo Xin's face full of sweat, Emperor Jiajing knew that Luo Xin had something urgent to do and panicked.
"Luo Qing, but what happened?"
"Your Majesty, I must move the Army's Weapons into the capital as soon as possible."
Emperor Jiajing understood as soon as he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "No, you go to the Military Equipment Department to preside over the relocation immediately. I will ask the Ministry of Works to prepare a new place for the Military Equipment Department."
"Thank you, that humble minister..."
"Go!"
After Luo Xin thanked him, he hurriedly left. He galloped quickly and arrived at the fifth army camp. The admiral of the fifth army camp saw Luo Xin returning and immediately came to meet him. Luo Xin immediately said:
"Mr. Zhang, immediately transfer a soldier to the military weapon surveillance with me to the military weapon surveillance, and move the military weapon surveillance to the capital as quickly as possible."
Admiral Zhang's expression changed. Luo Xin only mentioned the Military Weapons Department, and he understood what was going on. If there was no Military Weapons Department, then he would still defend a city! So he immediately dispatched a soldier and drove a large cart to the Military Weapons Department of the Suburbs of Beijing. In order to make the Military Weapons Department prepare early, Luo Xin led a small team of cavalry to gallop towards the Military Weapons Department of the Suburbs of Beijing.
After more than half an hour, he arrived at the suburbs of Beijing. After entering the Military Equipment Department, he saw Jiang Song running over from afar.
"Mr. Luo..."
"Mr. Jiang!" Luo Xin interrupted his words and said, "According to His Majesty's order, the Military Equipment Department will immediately move into the capital."
Jiang Song was relieved when he heard this. He now knew that Huang Taiji had captured Datong and would not be long before the army would be at the city. If the Military Weapons Department had not moved before, he would have only one way to die. He had just been promoted to Military Weapons Supervisor, so naturally he didn't want to die.
"Yes, sir, let's do it now."
After saying that, Jiang Song hurried away. The entire Military Equipment Department became busy. On the other side of the capital, Emperor Jiajing had already set up a place for the Military Equipment Department. The fifth military camp took over the city defense. He did not close the city at night, and moved the Military Equipment Department into the capital overnight.
early morning.
Luo Xin was busy at the place where the Military Equipment Department was stationed. At this time, he was drinking porridge and eating side dishes, while saying to Jiang Song, who was also drinking porridge, while sitting opposite him:
"Mr. Jiang, how many weapons are there in the Military Weapons Department now?"
Jiang Song knew in his heart how he came from this military weapon steward, and that was completely derived from Luo Xin, so he had a feeling of dying for his confidant in his heart. He immediately said:
"There are 1,500 cars, 20,000 bows, and 10,000 thunderbolt bombs."
Luo Xin said happily on his face: "How many other thunder bullets can be produced in the stock materials?"
Jiang Song showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "There are not many materials, and I guess only 5,000 can be produced."
After finishing his last bite of rice, Luo Xin put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Jiang, I want you to pop out five thousand thunders within three days and some gunpowder leads. Well, there are some slender bamboo tubes that need to be opened. I will only give you three days in three days. Can it be completed?"
Jiang Song frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and finally nodded vigorously and said:
"Mr. Luo, my uncle will definitely live up to his mission."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you here. I'll carry the thunderbolt in three days."
After leaving the Military Weapons Office, Luo Xin came to his new office, and his office was placed in the Fifth Army Camp. At this time, the admirals of the Five Military Camp, Shenji Camp and Shenshu Camp were gathered here, and Luo Xin arranged the city defense. In fact, the war has not begun yet, and everything can be done step by step. Luo Xin just said simply that the three camps will automatically defend properly, and at the same time, countless scouts were sent to report back continuously.
After Luo Xin arranged everything, he got up and went home. He stayed at home for less than a quarter of an hour yesterday and left in a hurry. At this time, he didn't know what his family would be anxious. Luo Xin had to go back and calm his family down in order to concentrate on resisting the upcoming Huang Taiji.
When I got home, I saw that everyone in the family was waiting for me. They all had red eyes and dark circles. When I saw that they had not slept yesterday, my uncle Luo Zhi was also sitting in the main room. When Luo saw Luo Xin walking in, she burst into tears before he could uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Xin'er, are you really the Privy Council?"
Luo Xin looked at Luo Zhi and knew that Luo Zhi had already explained his affairs to his family. He nodded and sat on the chair tiredly. However, when Luo saw Luo Xin nodding, he cried even harder, and he was making trouble for Luo Xin to be the Privy Councilor. This made Luo Xin fucked, and even Luo Ping was not good at coming forward. In the end, his grandfather Luo Heng scolded Luo, and Luo did not dare to make trouble. Seeing that Luo Xin was honest, Luo Heng turned his eyes to Luo Xin and said:
"Xin'er, although you have embarked on the path of literati, our Luo family has passed on the family through martial arts. When the Tartars come, they will be beaten back. Don't be influenced by your mother."
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.
Luo Heng looked at Luo Ye and Luo Ping again and said, "You two follow Xiner. If Xiner has a few short and small things, you two don't have to come back to see me."
"Grandpa..." Luo Xin hurriedly stopped him, but saw Luo Hengyi waved his hand and said, "Xin'er, I've already thought about it, learn the arts and martial arts, and the goods emperor's family. This is also a chance for your uncle and your father."
"But……"
"It's nothing, life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in the sky!" Speaking of this, Luo Heng looked at Luo Ye and Luo Ping again and said:
"What do you two think?"
Luo Ye and Luo Ping stood up excitedly and said, "I can't ask for it."
When Luo Xin saw the excitement of his uncle and his father, he knew that he could not stop him. He sighed helplessly in his heart and agreed. He told his uncle and his father to follow him to the fifth military camp tomorrow. With his current status of exploring the war, it would be very easy to arrange two people.
Luo Xin returned to his room tiredly, got into the top of his head, and fell asleep within a few breaths. However, before he could sleep for a quarter of an hour, he heard Lu Daqing come to report that the emperor had given another Privy Councillor's Deputy Privy Councillor, and the Deputy Privy Councillor came to pay his respects to him.
Luo Xin then got up from the **, washed his face with cold water, and then walked out of the bedroom. While walking, he thought, what does it mean to send a deputy to himself by Emperor Jiajing?
He walked to the door of the study, but he didn't think clearly about why Emperor Jiajing sent him a deputy, but when he walked into the study, his expression was stunned.
"Brother Lu Qing, why is it you?"
The person who came was Xu Jie's eldest son Xu Luqing. When Xu Luqing saw Luo Xin's surprise appearance, he smiled and said:
"No, are you surprised? Why can't it be me?"
Luo Xin was surprised and calm down. He stepped down and looked at Xu Luqing, but he never thought that Emperor Jiajing would send Xu Luqing to his deputy Privy Council.
"Brother Lu Qing, is it Mr. Xu?"
Xu Luqing shook his head and said, "My father didn't know before. I asked His Majesty. Now I don't know how angry my father will be at home, so I'll come to you. I'll live with you today and go to the three camps with you tomorrow."
Luo Xin shook his head and sighed, "This battle is dangerous. Your Majesty is behind us. Now our morale is low. If you want to defend the capital, you must regain your morale. Therefore, we must lead by example and may die on the wall. Brother Lu Qing, this is not a joke."
Xu Luqing's expression became serious and said, "I know all this. Huang Taiji's attack on the Ming Dynasty this time was much more fierce than his father's back then. Altan Khan did not break Datong back then, but Huang Taiji massacred Datong. I was mentally prepared for the danger."
Luo Xin frowned, and Xu Luqing smiled and said, "No, don't frown. In fact, everyone's fate is tied together now. If the capital is destroyed, will I still have a chance to survive? So, it's better to fight back and forth.
not to mention……
We may not be sure of victory.”
Luo Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Will the plan come out?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xu Luqing's eyes and said, "Huang Taiji seems fierce, because their start is so smooth. Since Lord Ma entered the cabinet, his direct lineage has been transferred to the southeast."
Speaking of this, Xu Luqing glanced at Luo Xin and said, "Before your Luo Xin came out of nowhere, the only army that could fight on the border was the Ma family. Now the Ma family army was dismembered by Your Majesty. Apart from the Ma family army, the remaining border army was just plain scattered sand and had no power to fight. This is why Huang Taiji started smoothly.
However, the officials in the court could not see this. Instead, they thought that Huang Taiji was more fierce than his father Alathan Khan, and they even had the intention to move the capital. I didn't want to move the capital, so I could only defend the capital."
Luo Xin was stunned in his heart, and a hint of unnatural expression on his face said, "Brother Lu Qing, it's your father who proposed to move the capital..."
Xu Luqing's face became dim and for a while, he whispered: "My father... cares too much about His Majesty's safety..."
Luo Xin lowered his eyes and knew in his heart that Xu Luqing and Xu Jie had a disagreement. I am afraid that Xu Luqing is not ashamed of Xu Jie's timidity and fear? He just doesn't say his father's life as a son.
At this moment, Xu Luqing reconciled his expression and said, "No, although Huang Taiji is fierce, we are not without a chance."
Luo Xin's eyes released a light and said, "Brother Lu Qing has a plan in his mind?"
"No weapon!" Xu Luqing said with his eyes shining: "It's August now. As long as we persist for three months, it will be the cold winter season. By then, Huang Taiji will have to withdraw his troops."
"Three months..." Luo Xin smiled bitterly: "Does Brother Lu Qing really have the confidence to keep it for three months? You must know that the city walls of Datong are as strong as those of the capital."
Xu Luqing shook his head and said, "Precisely because of the city walls and solidity of Datong, the war lasted there for nearly a month. Although our Ming border army suffered heavy losses, Huang Taiji could not have lost any losses. When they sent troops, they claimed to be 200,000. Even if they had 200,000, how many will they be left after they captured Datong?"
Luo Xin nodded and said, "The military newspaper said that the grassland tribes lost about 30,000 people. But they still have about 170,000. The three camps in our capital are no longer as good as before. The three camps had 170,000 soldiers and generals, but now the organization is only 120,000. There are still 50,000 to support Datong, and the remaining one is only 70,000. If some are temporarily recruited, there are only 100,000, so we do not occupy the number."
Xu Luqing did not lose confidence and said: "But their food and grass are not a tool. You should know now that they can no longer survive, so they came to the Ming Dynasty to rob, so they must not have much food and grass. We may not have to persist for three months. As long as we persist for one month, the grassland tribes may have no food and grass. At that time, we will retreat without fighting."
