Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 527

Chongzhen looked at the silent hall, his face gradually darkened.

Although Chongzhen didn't expect these civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty to come up with any good strategies to control the enemy, he really didn't expect that these people would not even want to say a few words on the scene now.

"Hehe, don't you really have anything to say?" Chongzhen said coldly.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhifa, acting Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, stood up bravely.

He saluted Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should increase our troops at this time.

Although the minister said before that Sun Chuanting's subordinates should be broken up into pieces, but Zhao thief has too many soldiers and horses, and Sun Chuanting has too few soldiers and horses. In addition to the gap in weapons, more troops should be added. "

"Increasing troops? I also think that we should increase troops, but where do we get more troops? Where do we increase troops? How do we increase troops? Where does the army's salary and food come from?" Chongzhen asked rhetorically.

Zhang Zhifa shut his mouth all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer.

The main hall fell into a strange silence, and all the officials lowered their heads.

Chongzhen looked at the hall like this, and kept sighing in his heart, "Is this the civil servants and military generals of the imperial court? They are all a bunch of useless people!"

After a long time, Chongzhen said again: "Although there are no troops to increase, but Sun Chuanting's request for help cannot be ignored, so I decided to mobilize troops from the Beijing camp to increase troops in Henan.

Zhang Aiqing?Zhu Aiqing, I don't know if you are willing to lead troops to increase troops in Henan? "

Chongzhen looked at the two standing at the front of the queue of generals.

British Duke Zhang Zhiji and Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen suddenly shook their bodies, and there was an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Your Majesty!" The British official Zhang Zhiji stood up. He saluted first, and then said: "Your Majesty, Confucius said benevolence, and Meng said righteousness. Now that the country is in crisis, it is time for us to serve the country and repay the king. Naturally, I should follow His Majesty's order and lead the army to increase the number of troops in Henan."

The British Duke spoke loudly and loudly, which attracted the attention of civil servants and military generals in the hall.

They really couldn't understand how the British Duke, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, suddenly became so understanding and righteous.

Chongzhen looked at the impassioned British Duke, although he had a smile on his face, but he kept cursing in his heart, "If I didn't know what you are, I would have been deceived by you.

If you put this kind of words in the moment when I just ascended the throne, you might have really been deceived by you. "

"But!" The British Duke suddenly changed his tone.

When Chongzhen heard this but, his face collapsed in an instant. "Hmph, it's really not what I expected."

After the ministers heard the but of Duke Ying, they also turned around and stopped looking at him.

"Your Majesty, it is the honor of my ministers to die for the country. But the minister is old now, and his hands and feet are not good. If it is because of the minister that he delays the battle, then the minister will not be able to avoid the crime." Busy, explained without haste.

"It's okay, as long as Aiqing is willing to go, I can ask the craftsmen to make shoulder pads for Aiqing." Chongzhen refused to give in, pressing every step of the way.

Seeing Chongzhen like this, the British Duke cursed secretly, "What's wrong with Your Majesty today? Before, as long as I said that, His Majesty would definitely take a step back. Why are you still pressing harder and harder today?"

The Duke of England hastily said: "Your Majesty, I am very old and my eyesight is dim. I have suffered from pain in my waist and legs in the past few days. My body and bones are not as good as before. I have to breathe when I walk two steps. I was seriously ill a while ago. If not With the blessing of the ancestors, maybe the minister will go!"

The British Duke coughed twice as he said that.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I am very willing to lead the reinforcements, but my health is too bad. I am afraid that I will go before I reach Henan!" It seemed impassioned.

"Shameless!" Chongzhen scolded secretly, and then had to show a concerned look, "Ai Qing, please take care, since Ai Qing is in poor health, let's forget it."

The British public talks are all about this, and it is not easy for Chongzhen to force it anymore. After all, this kind of result is also expected by Chongzhen.

"What about Zhu Aiqing? I don't know if Aiqing is willing to lead troops to increase Henan?" Chongzhen looked at Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen.

Seeing Chongzhen looking at him, Zhu Chunchen hurriedly lowered his throat and coughed.

"Cough cough cough, minister, cough cough!

Your Majesty, cough cough, the minister is willing to lead the troops there, cough cough cough, but the minister is a bit weak, cough cough, cough cough..."

Cheng Guogong was even more extreme, he could cough seven or eight times with a single sentence, which made Chongzhen look bored.

"Okay, okay!" Chongzhen waved his hand at Cheng Guogong, "It seems that Aiqing is seriously ill!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm afraid that my body will drag down the battle." Cheng Guogong said pretendingly.

Chongzhen said: "Since that's the case, let's forget about Aiqing."

Hearing these words, British Duke and Cheng Guogong finally let go of their hanging hearts.

"Since both of you are in poor health, I will ask the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to directly appoint troops from the Beijing camp to increase the number of troops in Henan.

I decided to let the Zhongwei, Youye and Zuo Sentinel horses of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Zhongwei Youshao of the [-] Battalion send troops to reinforce Henan. " Chongzhen continued.

When the British Duke heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Most of the leading generals in the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion are inextricably linked to the British Duke Cheng Guogong. If these soldiers and horses are sent to Henan, it is equivalent to cutting down the British Duke and Cheng Guogong. The right-hand man of the public.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses that Chongzhen just mentioned are all the confidantes of Duke Cheng of the United Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Cheng Guogong also spoke out to dissuade him.

Chongzhen had expected this scene a long time ago, he half-closed his eyes, looked at Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Beijing Camp to defend the capital. The capital is the most important thing, and it must not be moved lightly.

Although Zhao thief is attacking Henan now, the court doesn't know much about Zhao thief's movements.

If he rashly reinforces Henan at this time, if he encounters the main force of Zhao thief, his entire army will probably be wiped out. "The British Duke didn't care about anything, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, what the British Duke said is right. If the troops from the Beijing camp are rashly mobilized at this time, the entire army may be wiped out." Cheng Guogong also chimed in.

"Annihilation of the entire army? How could it be annihilation of the entire army? Is the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp so bad? Besides, if Henan is not increased, if Henan is captured by the Zhao thieves, do you think the court still has a way out?

Once Henan is taken, Zhao thief forces Shandong to the east, and the water transportation is cut off by him, the capital will become an isolated city.

At that time, even if the Zhao thief does not send troops to attack, the capital will not last long.

What's more, in case the Zhao thief changed direction and went straight north, approaching Zhili, what should the court do by then? "Chongzhen refuted the two in a sharp tone.

"This, this, this..." The British Duke stammered, and after a long time, he couldn't make any sense.

Cheng Guogong also closed his mouth tightly, not knowing what to say.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Min Hongxue, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up.

Pointing to Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, he shouted impassionedly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Duke Ying and Duke Cheng. These two people don't care about the king's kindness, put the country and society in danger, and pretend to be ill to evade His Majesty's will. Moreover, he planted party members, did not think about serving the country, corrupted the law with corruption, and allowed domestic slaves to rob the people..."

As soon as Min Hongxue came up, he kept putting big hats on the British and Cheng Guogongs, and the British and Cheng Guogongs were taken aback for a while.

Min Hongxue was originally Wen Tiren's henchman. Historically, he should have been impeached by Zhou Yanru in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and finally resigned and returned to his hometown.

But in this era, because Zhao Wen put Zhou Yanru down early, he didn't resign and go home like in history.

Min Hongxue used to be Wen Tiren's most powerful thug, whoever Wen Tiren asked him to bite, he would bite.

A while ago, Wen Tiren offended Chongzhen and was sent to Henan by Chongzhen.

As soon as Wen Tiren left, Min Hongxue felt that the sky was falling. After all, he had offended many people by relying on Wen Tiren.

Just when he was in despair, Gao Qiqian approached him.

Min Hongxue was like a life-saving straw grabbed by a drowning man, and he directly surrendered to Gao Qiqian's sect.

Last night, Gao Qiqian sent someone to persuade Min Hongxue to impeach Duke Ying and Duke Cheng this morning.

This was the first thing he did after he surrendered to Gao Qiqian. In order to leave a good impression on Gao Qiqian, he was like a fighter, and he kept putting big hats on Duke Ying and Duke Cheng.

"Your Majesty, people like Duke Ying and Duke Cheng should have their titles removed and their entire family exiled to Xuan Town."

If Min Hong learns the language, he is not surprised and dies endlessly. Is it exile if he goes to Xuanzhen?That is to let these two people die.

The British Duke gave Min Hongxue a cold look, his face turned pale with anger, and his temples kept bulging.

"Your Majesty, people like Duke Ying and Duke Cheng can be punished!" Min Hongxue knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly at Chongzhen to show his loyalty.

Standing beside Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian looked at Min Hongxue with a strange face. He never expected that Min Hongxue, an old school, would be so fierce after all, and he would put so many hats on Duke Ying and Duke Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the commanders of the Fifth Army Battalion and the generals of the soldiers and horses that His Majesty mentioned are useless. Let them be in the capital, but if they are allowed to lead the soldiers and horses to reinforce Henan, it may delay the opportunity of the war and lead to the failure of the war. Your Majesty, please consider carefully."

Regarding Min Hongxue's biting, the British public chose to ignore it, but found a reason to prevaricate Chongzhen.

"What Aiqing said is not unreasonable!" Chongzhen pinched his chin with his right hand, pretending to be in deep thought.

Seeing Chongzhen's posture, the British public thought that he had moved Chongzhen by talking, and he was relieved all of a sudden.

"But!" Chongzhen's tone changed, "Since these generals are useless, then replace them directly and select capable generals to lead the army and reinforce Henan."

Chongzhen's words were like a thunderbolt on the ground, blowing up the British Duke and Cheng Guogong, who didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, these people are all old men from the Beijing camp. If they are replaced at this time, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp!"

The British official didn't know how to refute, so he hesitated for a long time before choking out this sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, Min Hongxue, who was standing aside, spoke again, "Mr. Ying, do you want to resist the order? You openly refuted His Majesty's order. Do you want to rebel like that thief Zhao? Or are you and Bandits Zhao secretly colluded to prevent His Majesty from increasing troops in Henan?"

Hearing Min Hongxue's words, the British Duke's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Min Hongxue and kept thinking in his heart, "Could it be that this dog heard something? Impossible, those I sent to Xuanzhen They are all my confidantes, and it is absolutely impossible for them to leak this kind of thing. If things change, they will definitely notify me. This Min Hongxue should be talking nonsense, judging by his posture, it is also nonsense. If he To really hear this, you should have said it at the very beginning, not until now."

In a short period of time, the British public had a lot on their minds.

After thinking about everything, the Duke of England glared at Min Hongxue, then looked at Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate to change the general at this time, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen did not answer, and Min Hongxue also fell silent after refusing the British Duke several times.

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

Chapter 610 Reaching Jiyuan City

After a while, the British said publicly, "Your Majesty, the generals of the Beijing camp have been working with their soldiers for a long time. If they are separated at this time, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.

Therefore, in my opinion, there is no need to change people. "

"I heard from Aiqing that these soldiers and horses can go to Henan?" Chongzhen looked at the British Duke with a gloomy expression.

The British official wandered for a long time, stammering: "Your Majesty, you should be able to go!"

"In this case, let these soldiers increase the number of troops in Henan according to what I just said." After Chongzhen said, he looked at the hall again, "Does any of you have a better strategy to control the enemy?"

All the civil servants and military generals in the hall fell silent at this moment, and no one spoke.

Chongzhen looked at the silent hall and said, "Let's retreat!"

Gao Qiqian walked up and shouted loudly towards the hall, "Retire!"

Chongzhen waved his sleeves, stood up from the dragon chair, and walked out of the hall.

After retreating, the officials in the hall walked out in twos and threes.

When he was walking out, the Duke of England glared at Min Hongxue with a murderous look on his face.

"Hmph, don't fall into the hands of the old man. If it falls into the hands of the old man, the old man will make you regret coming to this world."

British Duke looked at Min Hongxue's back and sneered sinisterly.

Min Hongxue walked quickly, so he didn't see the expression of the British prince now.

"Are we really going to let those soldiers go to Henan according to what His Majesty just said?" Cheng Guogong moved to the side of the British Duke and looked at the British Duke solemnly.

The British Duke walked out of the hall and came to the open space outside. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned into Cheng Guogong's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty has already talked about this, do you think we Otherwise, can these soldiers and horses go to Henan?"

"But if these soldiers and horses go to Henan, then our strength in the Beijing camp will be greatly reduced." Cheng Guogong looked at the British Duke with a worried expression on his face. He really couldn't understand how the British Duke would be at such a time Agree to Chongzhen's request.

"Big discount? Haha!" The British sneered twice, "You still don't understand the truth. Before, we sent someone to contact Zhao Wen to discuss the matter of surrender, but we haven't seen a reply until now. I It is estimated that this matter is likely to be yellow.

In my opinion, Zhao Wen may have rejected our surrender because he felt that we were not sincere.

Just now His Majesty asked these soldiers to go to Henan. At first, I disagreed, but later I thought, since we are going to surrender to Zhao Wen, this capital city is not as important to us as before.

That being the case, it would be better to bet all the treasures on Zhao Wen this time. "

"What do you mean?" Cheng Guogong still didn't quite understand.

"It's very simple. The people we sent out to make contact last time have not returned. Maybe Zhao Wen thinks we are not sincere. So, this time I thought, let those of us in the Beijing camp bring these soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp Go to Henan and surrender to Zhao Wen directly.

These are the troops of the Beijing camp, the last defensive force in the capital. You said that we have handed over this force to Zhao Wen. Can Zhao Wen disagree with our surrender? "The British Duke looked at Cheng Guogong swearingly. From the British Duke's point of view, he had already handed over the last defensive force in the capital to Zhao Wen. No matter what Zhao Wen said, he should accept his sincerity. surrender.

Once he surrenders at that time, the capital will have nothing to do with him.

Cheng Guogong had a sudden realization expression on his face, "So that's how it is, that's how it is, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I said why you suddenly agreed to His Majesty's request, it turned out to be the idea.

It seems that His Majesty has led troops to reinforce Henan this time. For us, it is a blessing, not a curse. "

"Haha, the so-called good fortune comes with misfortune, and misfortune comes with good fortune." The British man laughed confidently.
