Just now, Emperor Mingkang received a report, "Feng smoke was everywhere in the northwest, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Northeast China."

It was winter, and it was the coldest time of the year. Even the Oirat, which was the most chaotic border in the northern region, now every household is closed and hides on the warm kang.

It was common sense to not move soldiers in winter and summer in ancient times. In summer, the weather was hot and soldiers were wearing armor. They were prone to heatstroke under the scorching sun. In ancient times, it was not as difficult as modern. At that time, the conditions were extremely difficult. A headache and fever might kill a person, but it was heatstroke in hot weather!

When Emperor Liu attacked Wu, he was inappropriate. Under the scorching sun, all the troops in Western Shu were raised. Because they were looking for water sources and camping in the dense forests in order to avoid the heat, Lu Xun of the Eastern Wu cleverly attacked the camps, burning the camps, and destroying the foundation of Western Shu's unification of the whole country.

The same is true in winter. The climate is cold and it is not suitable to march. When soldiers sweat when they move, they are very susceptible to cold when they are blown by the cool breeze. In severe cases, they will be frozen to death. There is also such a precedent in the history of world wars.

During World War II, Germany's most classic blitzkrieg, the brilliant record achieved at the beginning, the Soviet Union did not even react, and the Germans drove the tanks into Moscow.

Of course, this is also the beginning of the turning point. Russia's land area is too large, and Germany's front is too long to keep up with the supply. This is one of them. The second is the climate in Moscow, with a temperature of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. It is simply an inhuman torture for the Germans who are used to temperate marine climates. At the worst, even the breath is shiny.

If we were in a different place, perhaps we would add a sentence in addition to the sentence "Go to God!", "Damn it, it's a dog! Go to hell!"

Of course, Mingkang could not have known about the Moscow blocking war, but he absolutely understood the dangers of winter troops, so he quickly came to a conclusion.

The wars that happened everywhere this time were the people below who were making trouble, and they even controlled them. Seeing the calm appearance of several leaders among the nobles, he became more convinced of this matter!

When Emperor Mingkang thought of this, he was furious and wished he could cut the current rioters into pieces, but due to the situation, he could not do this.

In the court and in the military, he had few generals who could use it. Except for Jia Li, the other people were all talkative people on paper. He was not King Zhao Xiang, so how could he make such a mistake!

In fact, there are many reasons for this. On the one hand, Emperor Taikang refused to delegate power, and the military power was still tightly held in his hands. Even if a talented person had never experienced actual combat, he would be a fancy after all.

On the other hand, Dakang has been considered to have not experienced war for a long time, and it pursues the Confucian style, which emphasizes literature and neglects military affairs, so few people in Dakang like to go to the battlefield to establish fame. If you accidentally die on the battlefield, you will die on the spot. How comfortable is the imperial examination? Of course, it is just about the degree of danger, not the hardships you have paid.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

Lin Ruhai was not surprised at all, and he knew the actions of the nobles in advance, so when he heard Emperor Mingkang's words, he did not refute. He bowed and retreated to the team. The nobles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were not as good as Lin Ruhai, and they could tell a thing.

They were at a disadvantage just now, and they did not expect that Emperor Mingkang would spare them.

"I just got the news that some people in the nine border areas united with foreign tribes, intending to infringe on the superiors and cause trouble!"

Some ministers in the court changed their faces. They didn't know the details of this matter and thought that what Emperor Mingkang said was true!

Niu Fu suddenly stood up and said in a buzzing voice: "Your Majesty, I received an urgent report last night. I had not had time to report to Your Majesty, but the actual situation was not like this. Instead, the Urianha tribe in the north launched a sudden attack on us and the nine sides. The Mangshan camp suffered heavy losses and had to retreat thirty miles later to look for others."

After Niu Fu finished answering, Liu Hu also stood up and said with anger: "There are actually Japanese pirates on the coastal areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They took advantage of the year to dress up as my Dakang people, deceived our guards, and burned, killed and looted them after entering the mainland, and did everything they did. However, they were used to fighting in the form of a raider. When General Qin led his troops over, they would scatter birds and beasts and would not fight with us at all. Therefore, the local people mistakenly thought that General Qin was launching troops to rebel!"

Shi Huaili also came out and said: "It has been more than a day or two for the rebellion of the Chaga Taihou tribes in the northwest region. I have received a letter from General Li a few days ago and am about to report to Your Majesty that the Chaga Taihou tribes have set fire to the northwest border of our Dakang due to the dispute over the throne. They can no longer cope with it. Please send troops to reinforce us!"

Emperor Mingkang smiled coldly, "Dear Dukes are well-informed, why haven't I received any news?"

The three of them hurriedly bowed to apologize, "It's just loyalty to the king's affairs. If you want to solve your problems for more trouble, you are more distracted by the war in the court. You know it faster. I believe that those urgent reports should have arrived soon!"

Emperor Mingkang saw the people's very proud appearance, and his anger could not be covered and was about to erupt. Unexpectedly, one by one, one by one, was delivered to the Golden Palace.

"Report...... The northeastern border Urianha attacks the border. Tieshan Pass is currently lost and the border is in urgent need!"

Then another word, "Report... The Japanese pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were rampant. When General Qin led his troops to pursue him, he was ambushed by Japanese pirates and was seriously injured. Dahe Town was lost. Huang Shiren, the governor of the two Huai Rivers, reported an emergency and requested support!"

"Report... The troops of the Chagatai Houwang in the northwest region have all launched 300,000 troops invaded the border. At present, the Hami Guard has suffered heavy casualties and injuries. Longmen Town has fallen. General Li was attacked by the enemy during the chaos. He was shot into his chest with an arrow, and he did not know his life and death. The border is in a hurry!"

.........

Listening to these three 800-mile expedited documents, Emperor Mingkang almost breathed and fainted.

"Hidding soldiers in winter, moving in spring and autumn is the way of military strategists, and it is also well-known in ancient times. Now the war on the three borders is rekindled at the same time, and it is so coincidental. Emperor Mingkang knew exactly what was wrong with it, but he never expected that these people would dare to do this!"

Emperor Mingkang's eyes became extremely gloomy. He stared at them. If his eyes could kill people, these people might have been dismembered by random knives.

But at this moment, Shen Fanggang's face suddenly changed a little, and this time it didn't look like it was just now, but his face turned pale.

As the confidant of Emperor Taikang, he naturally knew where Emperor Taikang’s bottom line was, which were those hard-earned territory, and those territory in the northern border were captured by him who led his soldiers back then.

If it weren't for that, how could these nobles and other nobles be stationed in those places? This was why Taikangdi trusted them to do so.
