I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 290 Make the Emperor Happy

Huang Yi didn't know any Beijing officials, and he didn't want to associate with anyone.

Wang Kun had offended all the officials, and he had no intention of entering the city when he passed by the capital.

Because the battlefield is far away in Shandong, it basically has nothing to do with Governor Xuanda, so none of the Xuanda officials accompanied the army.

The unpopular eunuch who oversees the army, plus a different kind of general, just passing by the capital, should be fine.

I didn't expect that Xinghe Army's reputation was a bit big, and something really happened.

Huang Yi actually met the famous Xu Guangqi.

There's no way, the old scientist's hair is graying these days.

His old man is worried about his beloved disciple Sun Yuanhua.

Some time ago, Yu Yinggui, the censor of the Shaanxi Taoist Examination, Li Mengchen and other non-Donglin party officials impeached Sun Yuanhua one after another, and the emperor became murderous.

To be honest, with Sun Yuanhua's crimes and the huge harm Denglai's rebellion caused to the country, it is not wrong to kill him at all.

Historically, in July of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao were beheaded at Caishikou.

It is now the end of June, Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi have gone to great lengths to save Sun Yuanhua, but it is a pity that they failed.

In fact, the Xinghe Army has some connections with Xu Guangqi. I think the seeds and seedlings of sweet potatoes, maize, and potatoes in the base area all came from Xu Guangqi's Tianjin experimental field.

These are all second, the key is that Huang Yi knows Xu Guangqi, a great scientist, and a wise man who sees the world with his eyes open!
Knowing that Xu Guangqi was waiting outside the camp gate, he immediately went out to meet him in person.

The camp of the Xinghe Army must be comparable to the Xiliu Camp. It is a basic law not to enter without a military order. Even if Xu Guangqi is the elder of the court, so what?

Even when the emperor comes, we have to wait!

To be honest, Huang Yi received the education of "thousands of households in the dung soil" since he was a child, making fun of Tang Zong and Song Zu Genghis Khan...

He couldn't look down on, look down on Chongzhen, the stupid and stupid emperor.

I feel that it is because of this incompetent but hard-working emperor that Huaxia's clothes have been ruined by Shenzhou Lu Chen...

Closer to home, Huang Yi respected Xu Guangqi from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw the old man, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

According to the rules, a lieutenant like Huang Yi is definitely lucky to see the cabinet ministers, and he should kneel down and kowtow.

But Huang Yi doesn't care about this, he won't bow down to anyone!

Xu Guangqi is an enlightened man, he didn't think Huang Yi was unreasonable, but grabbed Huang Yi's hand and said eagerly:
"The old man took the liberty to bother you because someone's life is at stake!"

Scientists learned that Sun Yuanhua was going to be interrogated and beheaded, so he went to the doctor in a hurry.

It's a pity that even if he puts on his old face, it won't help.

Suddenly he heard that the famous Xinghe Army passed by the capital and went to Denglai to quell the rebellion, so he hurried to the outside of the city to ask to meet Huang Yi.

He doesn't know Huang Yi, but he has been famous for a long time, and he has extraordinary knowledge. While waiting for the notification, he has already felt the killing spirit of the Xinghe Army.

"What kind of life-or-death matter can I bother you to come forward personally?"

Huang Yi asked knowingly.

He knew that Sun Yuanhua's beheading caused Xu Guangqi so much psychological trauma that the old man's health deteriorated and he passed away not long after.

Xu Guangqi said: "The general went to Denglai to quell the rebellion. You should know about Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of Denglai! I beg the general to save him!"

"I'm just a mere lieutenant general, how can I save a big official like the former governor?"

Xu Guangqi came to Huang Yi for help, of course not because of Huang Yi's official position, but because of Huang Yi's current work.

He had already thought about his rhetoric and planned it in his heart.

He said: "The old man knows how many artillery pieces you have in your army, and Sun Yuanhua is very good at this. He is also very familiar with the Denglai rebel army, and he knows the leaders of the rebel army Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde, Chen Shishi, etc..."

Huang Yi understood, and said:
"Elder Ge means that I want someone from the emperor?"

"Sun Yuanhua committed a serious crime. It is a blessing to be sentenced to exile and exile. You can truthfully state Sun Yuanhua's strengths and ask the emperor to send Sun Yuanhua to Xinghe camp to serve as an exile."

"There are dozens of civil servants and military generals released by the rebels. The Xinghe Army only stated that accepting Sun Yuanhua alone was too eye-catching. Why not ask Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Tao and others to be sentenced to come to Xinghe on the grounds that they are familiar with the rebels. Battalion to fill the army?"

"Okay, let's do it like this. If the old man is going to beg for help, you will write the memorial immediately."

"To accomplish this, someone must be able to speak well in front of the emperor!"

"This, this..., the old man is going to ask the emperor to explain in person."

"Everyone in the world knows that you and Sun Yuanhua are both masters and apprentices, and you are from the same village, so it is not convincing for you to go."

"Then what should I do? Where can I find someone who can speak well for Sun Yuan in front of the emperor?"

"You don't need to look for it. Wang Kun, the eunuch in charge of the army, will go to the capital later. He is not doing it for personal gain, but because he thinks it is beneficial to counter the rebellion. He thinks that keeping those criminal officials in the army will benefit the country and the people!"

"The eunuch who oversees the army will listen to you?"

"Elder Ge needs to change his mind! Not all scholar-bureaucrats are good people, and not all eunuchs are bad people. Ever since he was in charge of the army, Wang Kun has really put his heart into doing things with ease!"

"Originally, the old man thought it was just a rumor, but now I know that there really are such eunuchs."

After Huang Yi sent Xu Guangqi away, he immediately consulted with Wang Kun.

Eunuch Wang has been in the army for a long time, and he knows more or less the development process of the Xinghe Army, as well as Huang Yi's experience.

He felt that Huang Yi, a general who had no relatives and no reason in this dynasty after returning from overseas, but with outstanding abilities, should be reused by the emperor most.

Huang Yi stated that he would accept all Denglai criminal officials to serve in the army, saying that these criminal officials are more or less familiar with the rebels and can play a role. At the worst, they can also identify prisoners and prevent the rebel leaders from getting through the border.

He asked Wang Kun to go to the capital to meet the emperor immediately, and try his best to get this matter done.

However, Wang Kun didn't leave immediately, but asked: "The Sa family wants to know what percentage of victory the general leads the Xinghe Army in suppressing the rebellion?"

It is no wonder that Wang Kun asked this question, because the situation in Denglai was out of control five years after entering Chongzhen. Deputy General Chen Shishi of Lushun of Dongjiang Town and Deputy General Mao Chenglu of Guanglu Island brought seven or eight thousand Dongjiang soldiers to join the rebel army.

Today, there are more than [-] rebels and more than [-] artillery pieces of various types. The Ming army in Shandong was frightened by the news, and the morale of the rebels was high. They once clamored:
"Killing soldiers in Shandong is like cutting vegetables, what can I do! The soldiers in the towns are not our enemies."

The attacking Ming army no longer had the courage to take the initiative to attack, and they were all defending the city. The rebels besieged Laizhou for more than a month, and no one could save them.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the strength of the rebels more than doubled.

The Xinghe Army has only [-] main soldiers plus less than [-] auxiliary soldiers, while the rebel army's main soldiers are probably close to [-], and the young and middle-aged people who are engulfed should not be less than [-].

Can the Xinghe Army win the battle?Wang Kun was at a loss.

It is easy for a favored official to meet the emperor, but it is not easy to know what to say to make the emperor happy.
