Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 77 Yuan Chonghuan's Decision
If it was possible, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't want to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the biggest landlord of Ming Dynasty, after all, there were too many branches and vines entwined on the throne he was sitting on.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a bandit?
Eat his mother, drink his mother, and don't pay for the King Chuang!
Li Zicheng, the courier uncle, didn't rely on this sentence to deceive all the people who were mistreated by officials, gentry and landlords?

The current Daming is like a rusty machine, running with difficulty. As a superior, his eyes are staring at him openly and secretly.

It's good to be an official in Daming, except for a few unlucky ghosts whose heads were cut off when the incident happened, most of them were just dismissed from office, and then returned to their hometown to escape justice.

How powerful the mouths of Ming literati are, Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power would never end.

If you don't take advantage of this Jianlu invasion to win over a group of useful talents and generals from Jian Ba, and build a basic base for yourself, then it would be pure nonsense to seek power in the court.

……

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was busy moving again and moved to Jizhou, Qian'an City, which was hundreds of miles away, showed another situation.

"The Son of Heaven has personally conscripted!?"

Yuan Chonghuan sat on the official hat chair, holding the letter in his hand, and secretly said with an uncertain expression: "It's no wonder that the military orders issued by the governor, Fengrun, Yutian, Jizhou and other places are all on hold..."

Yuan Chonghuan, who came to Guan Jinning's reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, led his troops to Qian'an City, and learned something from Zhao Liaojiao.

The ad hoc military aircraft department was in charge of the invasion of Jianlu, and issued a decree. Just this strong signal made Yuan Chonghuan feel that Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of him.

The imperial court spent huge sums of money to build the defense line before the Liao Dynasty, not only did not weaken the strength of Jianlu, but also asked Jianlu to detour through Mongolia and invade the important areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan, who knew the temper of Emperor Chongzhen, knew better than anyone else that if he could not repel the Jian captives this time and reduce the loss of Ming Dynasty, then he, the governor of Liaodong, would be the end of his job!
It's just that the emperor, who doesn't understand military affairs, intervenes in the frontline operations arbitrarily, and even conscripts himself, which makes Yuan Chonghuan very upset.

Being so tossed by the emperor, Jianlu was allowed to besiege Zunhua City, which caused Jianlu to break through Zunhua and Santunying successively, allowing Jianlu to control the key points in and out of the pass.

"Master, Zhao Liaojiao, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang are here." A servant who was waiting outside the hall walked into the hall at this time and saluted Yuan Chonghuan respectfully.

"Ah."

Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses, frowned, glanced at the letter in his hand, and hurriedly folded it up and put it in his arms. The letter sent by Huang Taiji must not be known by others, otherwise this despicable divorce scheme will become Really.

"Call them in!"

Thinking of Yuan Chonghuan here, he said to the famous family member Ding.

"Here!"

Regarding Haikou, which he had boasted about before, five years in Pingliao, Yuan Chonghuan regretted it every time he thought about it. This thing is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.

However, for the sake of my own face and reputation, even if it is impossible to flatten the Liao Dynasty for five years, it must become a possibility!
Being dismissed as an official has a small job, but losing your reputation is not a big deal!
"The last general waits, and pays homage to the supervisor!"

Zhao Ledjiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other generals walked into the main hall, looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was deep in thought, and respectfully clasped their fists and saluted.

"En." Yuan Chonghuan responded, looked at Zhao Rate and taught them, and said, "The governor called you here today, because I have a decision to announce."

Hearing this, Zhao Liaojiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and the others showed different expressions. At present, Zunhua and Santunying were attacked by the invading Jianlu and even slaughtered the city.

They are the team guarding Jianlu on the eastern front, but they have not received the order from the Military Aircraft Department for a long time. At this time, their supervisor wants to read out the decision. Could it be that they are going to act without authorization?

"I don't need to talk too much about the current situation, you all know it in your heart."

Yuan Chonghuan stood up, glanced at the generals in front of him, and said: "Just now, the governor got the news that the Emperor's imperial conscript has come personally."

"..."

Zhao Ratejiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others were horrified and looked at Yuan Chonghuan with astonishment. The news was really shocking.

"Jianlu invaded the important area of ​​our Great Ming capital, under such circumstances, how dare the emperor personally conquer!" He Kegang said excitedly.

"The strength of the Jianlu army is far beyond what the ministers in the court thought. Why didn't they persuade the emperor? If the invading Jianlu knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous."

Zu Dashou showed a pensive expression, Zhao Ratejiao was as excited as He Kegang, and some other generals were also in disbelief and shock.

"The Son of Heaven is worried about the situation on the front line, and he doesn't want to watch Jianlu ravage our Ming capital!"

Yuan Chonghuan shouted in a deep voice: "As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we should share the worries of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, so in order to avoid accidents, the governor decided to divide the troops!
Zhao led the teaching, you lead your troops to Santunying to harass the Jian captives, don't love to fight!

He Kegang, you lead your troops to station in Zhenzi Town.

Zu Dashou, you lead your troops to stay in Qian'an City and guard against the Jian captives.

The governor, personally led three thousand cavalry, went straight to Yutian, commanded soldiers and horses from all over the place, and organized a battle to encircle Jianlu! "

"This……"

Zhao Ledjiao, He Kegang, Zu Dashou and the others looked at Yuan Chonghuan in astonishment. They didn't expect that their own supervisor would bypass the military plane specially set up by the emperor to end the battle!
If the emperor finds out about this, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Supervisor, do you need to reconsider this matter?" Zhao led the teacher to step forward, clasping his fists to persuade him: "The Military Plane Department issued an order earlier, Qian'an City area, you can't..."

"Don't the Governor know this!?"

Yuan Chonghuan glared and shouted: "What time is it now? The emperor is personally on the conquest. If I can't share the worries for the emperor and try to defeat the arrogance of the Jianlu, how will the next battle be fought? !

Is it possible to stay in Qian'an City helplessly, do nothing, watch Jianlu gather heavy troops, find the location of the emperor's royal driver, and then reproduce the danger of Zunhua and Santunying! ? "

Due to various considerations, Yuan Chonghuan will never sit still and wait for death. If he fails to win the first victory in defeating Jianlu in this battle, after the battle is over, the furious emperor will definitely punish him.

If that were the case, everything he had before would be gone, the good name of praise would be gone, the title of Great Ming Xianliang would be gone, and he would lose his authority...

In such a special situation, I will not accept the order of my foreign ruler!
