I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Jinling City, in the imperial palace.

When King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty led a hundred thousand reinforcements to the south, thousands of miles away in Jinling City, the capital of the New Dynasty, the Great New Dynasty Meeting, which had been interrupted for a month, finally restarted on this day.

The civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty left in the city passed through the main gate of the imperial city that was being repaired, and walked step by step towards the familiar yet unfamiliar Jinluan Hall.

In the Jinluan Hall, there was a child wearing a golden five-clawed dragon robe and a crown, timidly sitting on the dragon chair that symbolized the supreme imperial power of the Great New Dynasty.

This person is the fourth emperor of the Great New Dynasty, Emperor Hongxi Zhao Lingzhan.

Zhao Lingzhan, who was only five years old, was the son of King Fu of the New Dynasty. He was pushed to the forefront during the "Lingwu Coup" planned by the prime minister Qin Ruhui and became the nominal fourth emperor of the New Dynasty.

Today is the day when Zhao Lingzhan ascends the throne and takes the reign name Hongxi.

Standing next to Zhao Lingzhan was Prime Minister Qin Ruhui, who had already put on a bright red four-clawed python robe.

At this time, Qin Ruhui had made no secret of his ambition and desire for power. The four-clawed python robe that only a prince could wear was the best proof of this.

In private, the prime minister and his party's courtiers all called Qin Ruhui "9900 years old."

This is considered a modest title. Looking at Jinling City, even three-year-old children know that the current prime minister Qin Ruhui is the actual controller of the Great New Dynasty and the well-deserved Supreme Emperor.

From the Prime Minister Qin Ruhui to the Supreme Emperor Qin Ruhui;

Qin Ruhui only walked this road for nine months and seven days!

Even if all this is just a flash in the pan, it will be like a mirror and a mirror.

However, for the nearly seventy-year-old Qin Ruhui, being able to stand on top of the Jinluan Palace and watch the civil and military officials of the dynasty kneel down and salute was a life well spent.

"The auspicious time has come, kneel down to welcome the new emperor!"

Following the sharp and long voice of the old eunuch in the Jinluan Palace, all the civil and military officials in the palace knelt down and saluted Emperor Hongxi in the Jinluan Palace:

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The huge Jinluan Hall echoed with long-lasting shouts of long live.

At that moment, Qin Ruhui, who was standing next to Emperor Hong Xi, closed his eyes in contentment, enjoying the pleasure and feeling of being on the top of power.

It was as if he was the one sitting on the dragon throne and being worshiped by the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

The Hongxi Emperor Zhao Lingzhan, who was only five years old, was shocked by the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but look timidly at Qin Ruhui beside him.

Qin Ruhui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, tell everyone who loves you to be safe!"

Zhao Lingzhan was trembling and stammered: "Everyone, everyone loves you, please stay safe!"

However, he never dared to look at Qin Ruhui beside him.

That natural fear is like a little lamb falling into a tiger's mouth.

At this time, Qin Ruhui did not pay attention to the mascot on the dragon chair beside him, but asked the civil servants and generals in the hall: "Everyone, the emperor is young and has nothing to do. He has given full authority to the prime minister to manage the government. ;"

"Now that the situation inside and outside Jinling City is turbulent, Emperor Hongxi will keep everything simple when he ascends the throne. He will go to Purple Mountain to hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and wait until after the enemy has retreated!"

With that said, Qin Ruhui got straight to the point and asked: "Li Jingyu, Secretary of the Ministry of War, could you please report the current situation inside and outside Jinling City to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"My lord, I obey!"

The speaker was Li Jingyu, the fourth Minister of War of the Great New Dynasty and former flying general of the Huben Army.

Ever since Wu Sanjia took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Huben Army, and had faced the great new generals of Longcheng's Southern Expedition without firing a single shot, Flying General Li Jingyu has been semi-idle at home;

His title of Prince Shaobao is nothing more than a false title.

It was not until Qin Ruhui launched the Lingwu coup that the air general Li Jingyu, who was idle at home, had the opportunity to be reactivated.

He was appointed as the Minister of War and was fully responsible for the defense of Jinling.

Li Jingyu said: "To your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin:"

"To this day, the rebels on the north bank of the Yangtze River outside Jinling City have been facing off across the river from my court's new troops from the two rivers and two lakes for a month;"

"The rebel leader Wu Sanjia lacks the necessary boats to cross the river, so he can only look at the river and sigh. However, our army is holding on to the danger and has sufficient food and grass. There is no need to worry about the rebel siege in the short term."

After a pause, Li Jingyu continued: "Three days ago, Nanzhao State sent an additional 50,000 Tengjia troops to Jinling City in accordance with the alliance between the two countries. They have arrived and set up camp outside Jinling City to guard the Stone City Pier;"

"According to reports from spies from the Ministry of War, the Longcheng Jingnan Army under the command of King Chen Huaian of Jin has broken through Jinan Prefecture and is undergoing repairs in Jinan Prefecture;"

"Another Longcheng Jingnan army is attacking Kaifeng Mansion!"

"In my humble opinion, the imperial court has now completely lost control of the north of the Yangtze River, and there is a threat of 200,000 troops from the rebel Wu Sanjia across the river;"

"It's better to just stick to the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. When Longcheng Jingnan's army goes south to Jinling City, and fight to the death with the Huben rebels across the river, send troops to clean up the mess in one fell swoop and reap the benefits!"

Um!

After listening to the report by Li Jingyu, Minister of War, Prime Minister Qin Ruhui nodded, and then asked the other civil servants and generals in the hall: "Everyone, do you have any opinions or suggestions on the strategies proposed by Lord Li to defend against the enemy? ah?"

With that said, Qin Ruhui turned his attention to Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang.

After all, Su Chen was the first person to lead troops to confront Wu Sanjia across the river, and he had first-hand intelligence and information.

Ahem!

Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang, coughed twice, stood up and bowed his hands to Qin Ruhui, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin:"

"The strategy proposed by Mr. Li to defend against the enemy is certainly the strategy that is most in line with the actual situation of the imperial court at the moment, but——"

As he spoke, Su Chen changed the topic and continued: "According to reports from my spies, Wu Sanjia on the north bank of the Yangtze River has not been idle in the past month;"

"On the one hand, he ordered his soldiers to step up their efforts to build warships and train navy soldiers to prepare for a forced crossing of the Yangtze River;"

"On the other hand, Wu Sanjia is the former Demon Queen Su Waner, who has given her the power to control the world's military forces and recruits generals from all over the southern provinces to join the King Qin in Beijing;"

"According to the information I have, Wu Sanjia's troops gathered on the north bank of the Yangtze River exceed 250,000 troops!"

Su Chen said: "I believe that Wu Sanjia will definitely cross the Yangtze River and go straight to Jinling, but the Longcheng Jingnan army going south probably will not rush to Jinling City immediately to fight Wu Sanjia to the death;"

"Based on my understanding of Jin King Chen Huaian, I am afraid that he will wait until the imperial army and Wu Sanjia's rebels fight to the death before he will lead the Longcheng Jingnan army to step forward to clean up the mess and reap the benefits!"
