Beiyang new warlord

This face couldn't bear it any longer. In the dark environment of the cave behind, countless green eyes opened suddenly, and a ghostly and miserable smile came over. For a moment, the backs of the two civil servants were completely wet with cold sweat. Fear was written in his pupils, and he screamed loudly in fear.

"You guys! Don't come here! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

The screams of the two superintendents did not reach the capital. For Zhang Ruolin and Ma Shaoyu, the Ministry of War did not care as much as they imagined. He directly brought up the files of the two of them and threw them away as dead.

At this time, the most important thing for the imperial court was happening in Henan.

After several months of hard work, most of the main force of the army finally gathered near Kaifeng, led by Ding Qirui, governor of the five provinces, and Yang Wenyue, governor of Baoding, under the command of General Zuo Liangyu, General Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Wenyue After the 10,000th and 40nd, the commander-in-chief commanded more than [-]+ troops, known as [-], and began to march towards Kaifeng in a mighty manner.

At this time, Kaifeng City had been surrounded for less than half a year, and Li Zicheng under the city also gathered Luo Rucai, Ge Zuo and other ministries from Jiangnan, and at this time was already known as a million.

On April 40th, the main force of the official army, which was said to be [-], and the Chuang army, which was said to be a million, faced off fiercely in Zhuxian Town, dozens of miles away from Kaifeng City.

This is already unknown how many fate-determining battles during the reign of Chongzhen, but the outcome of the defeat was from the initial injury to the extent that it is now enough to influence the demise of the dynasty. If it fails, the main force of the imperial court will be completely gone, and the entire Central Plains will no longer have the slightest foothold for the imperial court. The cancer cells will completely break out at the moment when they break into the army.

Unknowingly, the Guan Ning brocade line of defense left to Chongzhen after Emperor Tianqi's death, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the uncorrupted country have been squandered by Zhu Youjian.

But even so, the civil servants who were "loyal to their duties" in the Ming Dynasty still didn't care about the battlefield.

The capital, Taixue.

"No cedement! No marriage! No compensation!"

Under the leadership of a few old Confucians, hundreds of Tai students, future successors of the Ming bureaucracy rushed out of the door shouting with their fists raised.

Censorship Desk.

Originally like the paparazzi reporters who were inquiring east and west, the officials of the six subjects also gathered together, muttering in whispers. Immediately afterwards, impeachment documents with similar content were sent into the palace, and placed In front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"A group of rotten scholars!"

There are three or four books in a row, all of which are memorials to impeach Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, protesting against the peace talks with the Qing Dynasty, and suppress all the war reports of the Ministry of War. Pushing down fiercely, he roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

If the censor finds out about this and impeaches him again, Wang Cheng'en, who is waiting by his side, hastened to help pick up all the memorials, and carefully persuaded him, but he dared not tell if there were too many.

Chongzhen also bullies the weak and fears the strong, killing the governor is like killing chickens and dogs, but he is afraid of the sharp mouth of the Yanguan Group, sulked for a long time, and finally had to endure it again, his face was tired, and he asked with lost interest.

"What's going on with Chen Xinjia?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Chen has sent envoys to visit Shengjing, and they should bring back news in the next few days! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Where's Zhou Yanru?"

After 15 years of succeeding to the throne, more than 40 cabinet members have been changed. Now, Wusha, a senior scholar of the first auxiliary university, has a new head. Zhang Sizhi was afraid and returned home. Chongzhen failed in the five-year political struggle with Wen Tiren and resigned. The famous Zhou Yanru was remembered by Chongzhen again, and he was re-appointed as a scholar of Shoufu University.

However, the difference from the history is that Liu Zeqing, the Shandong general who was supposed to fawn on Zhou Yanru from Jiangnan to the capital, has been killed by Mao Jue, and the bandits in Shandong obstructed him. It has not yet arrived in the capital.

Wang Chengen bowed heavily with sweat on his forehead again, and replied.

"Return to Your Majesty, Elder Zhou Ge is on his way!"

"A bunch of ignorant things!"

When will they be able to arrive at the capital, maybe! This answer made Emperor Chongzhen curse angrily, and then he waved his hand wearily.

"Pass the decree to Chen Xinjia, let him seize the time to contact Dongyao! Reply to me as soon as possible!"

"Old slave obeys!"

"Also, before it's confirmed, you must not leak the news!"

There is still no definite evidence that the imperial court is going to negotiate peace with Hou Jin. These officials and censors are already making troubles in the city. If they really get the evidence, the imperial court will be in chaos!Seeing that Wang Chengen was about to go out to deliver the decree, Chongzhen added another sentence, which made Wang Chengen tremble again.

"twitter!"

On the other end, the Central Government Office, the Ministry of War.

It was so late, but the lights in the military compound were still on, and Chen Xinjia was also busy worryingly.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered a peace negotiation with Hou Jin, but up to now, he has not even finalized the content of the peace negotiation. At least like the Song Dynasty, he agreed to be a country of brothers. There is a bottom line for negotiation or something, but when Chen Xinjia comes here and there is nothing, the emperor just gives two words, negotiate a peace!

Chen Xinjia also understood in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to negotiate a peace but did not want to take responsibility, fearing that the eternal infamy would fall on him! The problem is that you never gave anything, and negotiated a sesame peace! You said no more, Shengjing’s Did Huang Taiji agree not to fight?

The courier sent the message in advance, and Sheng Jing also showed interest in the negotiation, but Chen Xinjia was stuck on how to answer the next step. He was worried about the courier's inquiry on the other side, and the little eunuch on the other side was worried. It was here to urge, for a while, Chen Xinjia's head grew big!

"Hurry up? Procrastinate!"

After dismissing the palace eunuchs to leave, the most stressed ministerial official in the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but snorted in resentment, and immediately turned around and left.When your majesty can't hold on anymore, let's work slowly!

There was nothing he could do. After complaining, he turned around and stood up. Chen Xinjia finally got into the carriage and went home.

However, in his annoyance, Chen Xinjia made a mistake. He didn't put away the confidential content of the peace talks, and mixed it with a bunch of military newspapers.

Half an hour later, several clerks from the Ministry of War entered the door, packed up the messy military newspapers, and sent them to another room to start copying. As for the notification and inquiry from the Shengjing messenger, it was also mixed in.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a kind of group text message called Tangbao!

The next day, the Tang newspaper of the Ministry of War appeared on the desks of various yamen.

The capital exploded!

Chapter 472. The one who takes the blame

The rumble of war drums didn't sound outside Kaifeng City, but it sounded first in the court hall. At the grand court meeting at the end of April, even Shao Zhongyun, who was sick and asked for leave, Zuo Zan agreed and several old fellows came.

Sitting on the dragon chair, looking at these ministers kneeling neatly, Emperor Chongzhen felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face, as if he was facing a neat formation of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Even the emperor felt uneasy these days.

"Play early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

Wang Chengen raised his whisk, which sounded the horn of the battle. Before he could finish his words, Fang Shiliang, who was in charge of inspecting the Ministry of War, told Fang Shiliang that an old civil servant in his early fifties was kneeling viciously like a fighter jet. When he came out, he knocked his head on the ground with momentum, and let out a murderous long moan.

"Your Majesty, minister Fang Shiliang has a book to play, and I want to ask Chen Ge's department. Yesterday's report from the Ministry of War, was it ever true?"

Last night at around one o'clock in the morning, the pond newspaper was sent out. At two o'clock in the morning, Chen Xinjia already knew the catastrophe he had caused, and his face was ashen.

Seeing that Chen Xinjia didn't speak, the civil servants jumped out one by one like monkeys with their butts on fire.

"Master of the Ministry of War, don't say anything. Could it be that this matter is false? If so, where did the Ministry of War come to confuse the public with this fake news? What is the intention of the Ministry of War?"

"Bingbutang Bao, how can it be faked? Chen Xinjia, you are hiding the knowledge from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and your Majesty, and you are arbitrarily bowing down to Jian captives, humiliating the country and begging for peace. You are a sinner through the ages! Your Majesty, please kill this beast!"

"I respectfully invite you to kill this one!"
