Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 277 All-round counterattack
"Borrow Kaifeng?" Zhu Cijiong snorted on the side, "I'm afraid it wasn't Liu Bei who borrowed Jingzhou, did he borrow it or not?"

Huang Zongxi's expression froze, and he said shamelessly, "Your Majesty, the students have lent the Kaifeng Mansion to Pseudo-Shun on their own initiative, and please punish them according to the law."

"Hey, lending is not ceding, so what's wrong with it."

Chongzhen said: "Not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you. If your trip to Luoyang can lead to the dispatch of troops by Pseudo-Shun, you have successfully completed your mission."

Gao Qiqian, Lu Jiude and others cast surprised looks at Chongzhen.

He said in his heart that the current sage is really different from before, it is like a different person, and if he is replaced by the previous sage, he will never tolerate such a thing as losing his teacher and losing his land.

If you dare to lend Daming City to Pseudo-Shun, who will lend your courage?

Chongzhen said again: "Huang Zongxi, what reward do you want?"

Huang Zongxi said: "Return to the Holy Master, this is what students should do, so students dare not take credit for it."

"That won't work." Chongzhen said, "If you have done something wrong, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. The rules cannot be broken."

Huang Zongxi's mind flashed through the conversation with Yan Yingyuan on the boat that day, and he immediately said: "Since the Holy Majesty said so, the students have the courage to speak out."

"Tell me." Chongzhen said, "What do you want?"

Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude next to him were dumbfounded, didn't they, they really dare to ask for it?

Huang Zongxi straightened his face and said, "Students hope to revise the emperor's ancestor's precepts, and add the phrase 'the people are the most important, the society is second, and the emperor' is the least important, and put it on the headline of the emperor's ancestor's precepts!"

"Huang Zongxi!" Before Chongzhen said anything, Gao Qiqian yelled, "Who lent you the guts to dare to revise the imperial precepts appointed by Taizu!"

Huang Zongxi said: "The earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. The weather changes with the seasons, and the earth has the withering and flourishing of all things. Natural Qi and principles are not static. Why can't the emperor's ancestors' precepts appointed by the Taizu not be changed? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have enjoyed the country for nearly [-] years, and many laws and regulations have long been outdated, such as the military system of the guard..."

"Huang Zongxi!" Gao Qiqian was furious, "Criticizing Taizu, making false statements about the imperial court's great policies and state policies, is simply outrageous..."

When Gao Qiqian was scolding vigorously, he suddenly felt that the temperature in the hall had dropped a lot. When he looked back anxiously, he found that Chongzhen was staring at him coldly.

"Long live Lord!"

Gao Qiqian shivered violently.

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said: "Drag out, twenty sticks!"

When even two Yi Ding rushed in like tigers and wolves, they dragged themselves up and dived and walked outside.

Immediately, there was the sound of wooden sticks and flesh slapping outside Xingyuan, and Gao Qiqian's screams like killing pigs. Wang Chengen and Lu Jiude couldn't bear to see them. How many times has this happened?

Eunuch Gao's ass is almost callused, right?
But then again, some things are hard to change.

Chongzhen said to Huang Zongxi again: "Huang Zongxi, the reward you want is too important. I can't give it back to you for the time being, but I can promise you that I will give you an explanation when the time is right."

"The Holy One is wise." Huang Zongxi bowed to the ground, he was already very satisfied with this.

Because this at least shows that His Majesty supports it, and His Majesty's support is enough.

Chongzhen ordered Wang Cheng'en again: "Wang Daban, please Zheng Hongkui, Du Yinxi, Jin Xuan, the commanders-in-chief of each town and the chiefs of scholars to come and discuss matters. It's time for me, Ming Dynasty, to launch a counterattack."

Soon, Du Yinxi, Jin Xuan, the commanders-in-chief of the various towns and all the sons and sons arrived one after another, and Li Xiangjun was also there.

By the way, Chongzhen did not disclose the relationship between him and Li Xiangjun, mainly because he was afraid of trouble, because the censor of the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of hating the emperor.

Once these censors smell it, he will never even think about living a peaceful life.

So at least for now Chongzhen doesn't want to disclose the relationship, so let's talk about the future.

"I tell you some good news." Chongzhen glanced at the group of scholars and general soldiers, "Pseudo-shun has sent troops, and not long ago he fought against Jiannu outside Shangqiu city."

A group of scholars and soldiers were immediately refreshed.

Du Yinxi asked: "My lord, how is the outcome?"

Chongzhen said with some regret: "The Puppet Shun Army has been defeated."

"We still can't defeat Jiannu in a field battle." Jin Xuan sighed, and said again, "It's a pity, if the Puppet Shun Army can successfully capture Guide City and form a confrontation with Jiannu, we will have a chance to launch a counterattack."

"No need to be sorry." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Although the Puppet Shun Army was defeated and failed to take Shangqiu City, but I have already lent them Kaifeng City. Confrontation."

"Ah? Lent Kaifeng City to Pseudo-Shun?" All the scholars and the chief soldier looked at each other in blank dismay.

Huang Zongxi was grateful in his heart, Chongzhen wanted to take the responsibility on himself and not let him take the blame.

Wang Chengen, Lu Jiude, and Gao Qiqian, who had just finished [-] battles, felt deeply that Long Live Lord is really different from what it used to be. He used to shirk responsibility in every possible way, but now he takes the initiative to take responsibility for his subordinates.

Chongzhen said again: "I know what you want to say, you want to say that I have abandoned the country of my ancestors, don't you? There is no need to say these words anymore, and I don't want to hear them. I just want to tell you one thing now, as long as you can defeat Jiannu Not to mention a mere Kaifeng, even the whole of Henan can be borrowed, no, I can give it to the pseudo-shun!"

"This?" Du Yinxi said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to say that."

"Du Qing, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that I will leave a bad name, right?" Chongzhen said sarcastically, "But I don't care, as long as I can hold the defense line of Huanghuai, wipe out Jiannu, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, What's the point of infamy? Even if future history books call me a tyrant or a fool, I don't care."

Hearing this, Du Yinxi, Jin Xuan and a group of general soldiers and scholars also understood.

In a word, the Holy One doesn't care about reputation, reputation is worthless to him, all he cares about is actual benefits, as long as it can be exchanged for real benefits, he is willing to bear any kind of infamy.

This is probably what the ancients said, regardless of personal reputation, a kind of extreme state.

Thinking of this, Du Yinxi and Jin Xuan couldn't help but turned their heads and glanced at Li Xiangjun, saying to themselves that it's no wonder the sage dared to accept Li Xiangjun, and he really didn't care about the censor's saliva.

But then again, such a sage is the blessing of Ming Dynasty and the blessing of all peoples.

Chongzhen went on to say: "Now the main force of building slaves has been attracted to Kaifeng by the puppet Shun army, and the two sides are confronting each other, so this is a godsend opportunity for us Ming."

"I decided to take this opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack."

"Comprehensive counterattack?" Jin Shenghuan and other frontier commanders looked at each other.

Zheng Sen, Xu Yingwei and other senior scholars were excited, and finally waited for the counterattack.

Chongzhen also said: "This counterattack will not only destroy the Yellow River defense line of Jiannu, but also completely destroy the blockade ditch and the protective wall outside Xuzhou City, and even destroy all the farmland of Jiannu! I want to see How many seeds can Jiannu have to replant? Are they replanting faster, or are we destroying faster? Humph."

Zuo Menggeng hesitated for a long time, and went out to persuade: "Your Majesty, Jianu has always been cunning, is there any deceit in it? If this is Jiannu's trick to lure the snake out of the hole, wouldn't we fall into the trick if we went out of the city to fight back?"

"What Zuo Zongbing said is very true." Wang Zuntan, Ma Huabao and other commanders echoed, "If you fall into the trap, not only will you not be able to destroy Jiannu's trenches, retaining walls, and the Yellow River defense line, but even Xuzhou will fall. .”

Jin Shenghuan also said: "Your Majesty, I think you should act cautiously and not be reckless."

The battle at the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain gave Jin Shenghuan some confidence, but it was only limited to defensive battles.

He didn't have the guts to ask Jin Shenghuan to lead troops out of the city to fight Jiannu, at least not now.

More than [-] scholar chiefs called for the battle one after another, which was in stark contrast to Jin Shenghuan and other general soldiers.

However, the paradox of the matter is that Chongzhen refused to let Shiziying want to fight, and Jin Shenghuan and other Bianzhen commanders did not want to fight, but Chongzhen forced them to fight.

"I've made up my mind, please don't say any more, otherwise this will be the case."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he pulled out his waist knife and chopped off a corner of the imperial case.

Jin Shenghuan, Ma Huabao, Wang Zuntan, Zuo Menggeng and others did not dare to say more.

Today is different from the past, these commanders-in-chief no longer have real power.

The officers and soldiers below only know that there are the Holy Master and Daming, but they don't know that there is a general soldier.

Therefore, without the support of the Holy Spirit, they would not be able to command a single soldier.

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "Zuo Menggeng, Hu Shoujin, Shen Bao, Cao Hu..."

The commander-in-chief of the frontier army of the seven towns who had been named stepped forward one after another, clasped their hands and agreed, "The minister is here."

Chongzhen said: "Except for the [-] people left to guard the blunderbuss platform in each town, the other [-] people attacked from all directions at the same time. Attack at the same time, without any reason to shirk, and if you find out that you don't procrastinate, you will be executed immediately, and the three tribes will be defeated!"

"Lead the order!" Zuo Menggeng and other seven town commanders bowed their hands and agreed.

Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan and Ma Huabao's hearts shuddered.

Yi tribe?This is too ruthless, but why are there no three towns by them?
Could it be that there are more difficult tasks to be given to them in the three towns, right?

While thinking about it, Chongzhen turned his gaze to Jin Shenghuan and the three of them: "Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan, and Ma Huabao!"

Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan and Ma Huabao took a step forward at the same time, clasped their hands and responded proudly: "The minister is here!"

Chongzhen said: "Your three towns have the most troops, and the other towns only have [-] people, but your three towns have [-] people, and the equipment is also the best in your three towns. You also have the most tiger squatting guns and bird guns, so the tasks of your three towns And the most important thing, you not only have to break through the blockade ditch east of Yunlong Mountain, but after breaking through the blockade ditch, you must continue to advance eastward, and cooperate with the navy to destroy the dozens of forts built by Jiannu on the west bank of the Yellow River!"

"Minister, wait for the decree!"

The three of Jin Shenghuan could only receive the order.
