Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 990

Finally, Fang Yizao summarized the field investigations of his subordinates and his own inferences, and proposed a solution to the emperor.

"With Wu Sangui's troops heading towards Songshan, Liu Zhaoqi led the cavalry officers and soldiers to Xingshan. They have gathered at the Ningyuan school site for inspection and are heading towards Xingshan.

He personally wore the armor and rushed to the center and left office, trying to make decisions in the army.

Qiumin sits on his back and guards the town and Ningyuan to consolidate his roots.

According to the discussion of the Ministry of War, Zu Dashou, the vanguard town official, "scratched, surprised, cut, arrogant, and forced.

Taking advantage of their arrogance and laziness, the three towns took advantage of the situation by surprise, attacking the backbone of the slaves, and took the opportunity to destroy them. "

Chongzhen was satisfied with Fang Yizao's plan at first.

But with Zu Dashou's frequent appointments, he felt that Fang Yizao's strategy was the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water.

In Zu Dashou's view, Liaodong is not enough to take the initiative to attack the Qing army at present.

Don't think that if Jin Guofeng wins a game by chance, Ming's soldiers will be able to go out of the city to hang and beat the Qing army.

Take a look at how Jin Guofeng won the fight, he was forced to win because he wanted to run away.

If he could run, he would have done so.

However, Fang Yizao designated that such incidents would not be reported, as long as Jin Guofeng won the battle.

Chongzhen originally wanted to release Yang Sichang to play a greater role, but the current situation is getting more and more chaotic, and he is deeply encircled.

The Southwest, Northeast, and Central Plains are all in a mess.

Only He Jinzhao from the Northwest was left, who didn't know when he would make trouble again, and gave Chongzhen a hammer by surprise.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's mood became more and more irritable.

the next day.

Chongzhen convened court officials to discuss matters.

Seeing the resurgence of war in Liaodong, and the imperial court couldn't come up with any effective containment measures, how could he not be in a hurry?
In order to guard against the hammer bandits, Chen Xinjia also put forward his suggestions, such as setting up a general army on the Tianshou Mountain boundary.

Set up an important town in Xuzhou, open the throat of the two capitals, protect the imperial mausoleum in the south, defend the water transportation in the middle, and keep the grain supply of the capital.

At the same time, he began to reorganize the army, strictly enforced detection, strengthened training, rectified horse administration, practiced firearms, and banned embezzlement and other affairs.

As a result, because the military discipline was a little stricter, the soldiers of the Ming army mutinied at night.

The most important thing is that Chen Xinjia has always wanted to get Fu Zonglong, who entered the palace for the second time, out of the imperial prison.

If Shao Jiechun hadn't committed suicide by taking poison, he also wanted to get all these capable people out to work for Daming.

The new Secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia, is quite courageous, but he was still impeached by the officials. After all, mutiny is not a trivial matter.

In short, the standard of the officials is that you must not make mistakes.

Their requirements for others are saint standards, and their requirements for themselves are: no requirements!

Facing Chongzhen's question, the courtiers were surprisingly silent at this time.

Because Liaodong is a pit, I had to jump.

But whose turn it is to dance, you have to think carefully.

Although Chen Xinjia agreed with Yang Sichang's strategy of negotiating a peace, he did not dare to speak first when there were others present.

The matter of the court discussion is over.

When the crowd retreated, Chen Xinjia boldly negotiated peace with Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen thought of Yang Sichang, he felt more and more irritable, and told him not to mention it again, and discuss it later, and solve the Liaodong issue first.

Then Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, received an order from Chongzhen, asking him to "secretly report the strategy"!
After Hong Chengchou received the emperor's order, he carefully analyzed it and solemnly replied to the emperor.

"Building slaves and stationing troops in Jinyi will be a long-lasting plan."

This directly overturned Fang Yizao's judgment.

"So today's Liao Dynasty must not simply talk about defense, it must be defended and fought at the same time, and then it can be defended;
And the battle is not a wave battle, it must be done in a positive way, and then the battle can be defended. "

Mostly it is the experience learned from He Jinzhao. Only by winning first can we hold on better.

Chongzhen praised this strategy very much.

Look at Hong Chengchou, he is indeed his best supervisor.

"These words are so old-fashioned, even Han and Fan (Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan) Fang Lue can't compare with this governor."

Of course Hong Chengchou couldn't hear what Chongzhen boasted, but the Ministry of War and the cabinet ministers all heard it.

Hong Chengchou's strategic deployment.

[-] soldiers from Wu Sangui and Liu Zhaoqi were stationed in Songshan and Xingshan.

Fifteen thousand and four hundred led by Wu Guojun went out of the town between Qiantun and Zhonghou.

Just in case the [-] officers and soldiers of Ji are still distributed in the borders of Zhongxie Fourth Road, Dongxie Jianchang, Lengkou, and Xixie Wall Road.

Zhu Guodong, the fuchen of Shanhai and Yongping, was stationed in Guanmen, and Ma Ke, the town minister, went out to the front.

Hong Chengchou's move was to send Wu Guojun to the Liaodong battlefield to fight the Qing army.

The Ministry of War believes that Hong Chengchou's strategy is "both war and defense, both internal and external considerations, and the right opportunity."

Ask Chongzhen for approval.

At the same time, the Ministry of War pointed out that the strategy proposed by Hong Chengchou needs to be adjusted slightly.

After all, Hong Chengchou came up with all the ideas, doesn't it seem that the "center" has no sense of participation?
The adjustments are as follows. First, Fuchen should not be relocated to Tashan.

The city is low and high on all sides, and it is a place to be attacked.

If a part of the Qing soldiers leave Gaoqiao, it will cut off the connection between Tashan and Song and Jin.

If you go out of Lianshan, you will cut off the connection between Ningyuan and Tashan.

Therefore, it is the best policy for Fuchen to stay in Ningyuan.

Second, it is not suitable for governors to be stationed in the middle and rear, but should be temporarily stationed in the front village for safety.

Third, Hong Chengchou advocated transferring officers and soldiers from Xifengkou and Dongjiakou to leave the customs, and relocate soldiers from Tongzhou to Xikou and Dongjiakou.

The Ministry of War pointed out that there is currently no sign of Qing soldiers moving westward, and there is no need for Tongzhou soldiers to deploy defenses.

Wu Guojun still has important responsibilities, so he doesn't need to follow the army.

The Ministry of War emphasized that what Hong Chengchou was most worried about was "Jinzhou's fortune is in the middle, and woodcutters cannot be harvested."

Then there is "the soldiers and the people surrendered to the barbarians and lived together, and there were very few rice beans in the warehouse."

He was also worried that the large number of soldiers leaving the customs would make it difficult to supply food and grass outside the customs.

The questions raised above will be resolved by the imperial court, so please rest assured.

Then they suggested to Chongzhen that Hong Chengchou should mainly manage Liaodong affairs.

After all, according to the tradition of Ming Dynasty.

Whoever comes up with an idea will do it!

What's more, you Hong Chengchou are so capable, if you don't take command as a supervisor, who else is better than you?
Chongzhen approved Hong Chengchou's strategy and the supplementary opinions of the Ministry of War.

Order the Ministry of Households to send out Tianjin Midou as soon as possible and transport them to Qianfeng.

The Ningyuan Rating Department "must provide assistance from multiple parties" and should not neglect it.

Hong Chengchou wanted to advise the emperor, and at the same time sent Wu Guojun, a restless person, to the Liaodong battlefield to prove his loyalty to Daming.

Even if you can't prove it, let's weaken Wu Guojun's military strength and make him more controllable.

Unexpectedly, after Hong Chengchou came up with this idea, he took the initiative to send himself up.

The most irritating thing was Wu Guojun, an old boy, for some reason, His Majesty was so pleased that he was named Marquis of Jingliao.

But he was not allowed to get involved in Liaodong's affairs at all.

Like a label, just hang it up for everyone to see.

Hong Chengchou even suspected that Chen Xinjia, the new Minister of the Ministry of War, also had collusion with the hammer bandits.

Otherwise, such an idea would not come up.

But Hong Chengchou obviously misunderstood Chen Xinjia, and he also wanted to make some achievements.

According to Daming's current command, in his opinion, only Hong Chengchou can effectively command the Ming army to fight against the Qing army.

The rest of the people went to the border of Liaodong as governors, and it was estimated that they would lose troops and lose generals.

It was Hong Chengchou's method that made Chen Xinjia think that there was still a [-]-[-] possibility.

According to the current situation, Chen Xinjia wanted to release all the people locked up in the imperial prison so that he could meet him. There was really no one around him who could take care of him.

Wu Guojun never expected that the officials he put back had such great energy, they directly handed over Hong Chengchou to Liaodong Liaodong, the Prime Minister, and picked him out Jingliao Hou by the way, without having to go to the muddy waters of Liaodong.

This shows that the work I did at the beginning was effective.

Of course it was only Wu Guojun's own idea.

In order to let Chongzhen send Hong Chengchou to lead the army with peace of mind, Wu Guojun sent Wang Peng to Beijing to urge one or two to get the matter done as soon as possible.

The Marshal wants to negotiate a peace with Daming, how is the discussion going?

As an envoy, Sun Chuanting had already arrived at the border of Ji Town, and he wanted to further promote the peace negotiation.

Of course, Wu Guojun couldn't come forward for this kind of thing, and had to discuss it with the eunuch of the supervising army.

Gao Qiqian, a representative of the main peace faction, naturally fell into his eyes, but Gao Qiqian sent people to Shenyang on his own initiative, but never thought of sending people to Taiyuan to negotiate peace with the rebels.

Wu Guojun was mainly thinking about how to connect with him without revealing himself.

Gao Qiqian is a knife used by Chongzhen to control the Guanning Army, but this knife also has its own ideas, not to mention taking care of Wu Sangui, it is also to discuss wars with Zu Dashou and others.

It doesn't matter what supervising the army, after the Qing army's tartars came, he didn't even express his opinion, and all actions were subject to Zu Dashou's orders.

He knew very well that if even the Guan Ning army could not stop the Qing army, then probably no other soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty could resist.

Don't look at the fact that Wu Guojun killed a lot of Tartars, but when can he command a large army to defeat the Qing army?
It's not that relying on the superior strength of Jia Ding to find a Qing army team of 300 people to strangle.

Therefore, in Gao Qiqian's eyes, Wu Guojun was just an ordinary person in the Liaodong Army in the past, but he was lucky.

Thousands of people besieged hundreds of people. In the past, Liaodong fierce generals could do more or less, which was a basic method.

But His Majesty trusts Wu Guojun very much. Gao Qiqian has communication with Wu Guojun, but he is not very familiar with him.

Sun Chuanting was the envoy of the peace talks.

Wu Guojun didn't know how to send him to Gao Qiqian.

But Sun Chuanting stroked his beard and said, "In that case, I'll go see Gao Qiqian directly."

"Huh?" Wu Guojun said in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that he will cut you into pieces to please the emperor?"

"I'm so valuable, they won't kill me so easily."

Sun Chuanting stood up: "What's more, there is Marshal He standing behind me."

The spy who had been sent there, three years later and three years later, the governor who almost forced him to go was executed by the emperor.

In the past, he still held himself to be dedicated to Daming, always waiting for someone to greet him.

But Sun Chuanting gradually despaired, he was just a pawn arranged by others.

As things change, no one will remember him as a pawn, even if most people don't have the opportunity to play as a pawn.

Sun Chuanting was heavily employed by He Jinchao, and recently represented the hammer bandits in negotiating peace.

Gao Qiqian has not gone to Liaodong yet, at least he has to wait for Midou and other things to be shipped over.

When this time passes, nothing but danger is danger.

"Sun Chuanting?"

Gao Qiqian shook his head, never heard of this person, no see.

What cats and dogs are worthy of his personal interview?

When Menzi reported for the second time, he said with a little trembling that he belonged to the Hammer Bandit.

Gao Qiqian's original leisurely energy with his eyes closed and resting his mind was suddenly broken.

What is the messenger of the hammer bandit doing?
Gao Qiqian stood up and walked around the room several times in a hurry, but he still hadn't made up his mind.

"Didn't he come to surrender?"

Thinking of this, Gao Qiqian decided to meet him anyway, just in case he made money.

Following Sun Chuanting's entry, Gao Qiqian found that this person was quite tall, and he was still dressed as a scribe.

"Governor Gao." Sun Chuanting saluted with neither humility nor condescension, and then said with a smile: "I have a heavy responsibility, so I don't want to blame you for disturbing me."

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian understood a little bit, he was thinking too much, this person didn't come to surrender at all, his face became tough.

"You are a dignified scholar, but you actually worked your life for the rebels, willing to be a running dog, and you read all the books into the dog's stomach."

Faced with Gao Qiqian's sarcasm, Sun Chuanting didn't care: "Governor Gao, I want to negotiate peace with Daming on the order of my commander in chief.

If Governor Gao can't handle this matter, my commander-in-chief can only lead the army to march eastward, and negotiate peace with the Ming emperor outside the capital.

Presumably at that time, if the current emperor knows that you drove away the hammer bandit messenger, I am afraid that he will be held accountable.

You and I are the masters, it is better to calmly communicate with each other. "

Gao Qiqian is an eunuch who "knows soldiers", so he was aroused by Sun Chuanting's words.

The Hammer Bandit now occupies the three provinces, so he is capable of raiding the Forbidden City.

"How do I know if you are sincerely negotiating peace?"

Seeing that Gao Qiqian was finally willing to listen to him, Sun Chuanting sat down on his own:
"Governor Gao, the world is in chaos today, the court is putting out fires everywhere, but it can't put out fires everywhere.

To be honest, the land of Shanshan and Shanxi has been suffering from drought for years, and my commander-in-chief has no intention of launching a war until the last step.

The Hammer bandits need time to adjust, but Da Ming also needs time to calm down the rest of the bandits and ensure that Ning Jin's line of defense remains intact. "

Gao Qiqian began to look at Sun Chuanting: "You also know soldiers?"

"If you don't know soldiers, how can you be sent by the general to discuss peace?"

Sun Chuanting motioned to the housekeeper beside him to pour tea for him, without even any etiquette for hospitality.

Since he joined the hammer bandits, he hasn't had any good tea yet.

"How can I, Ming, negotiate peace with the rebels?"

"Da Ming can negotiate peace with Jiannu on his own initiative, so what can he do with me?" Sun Chuanting motioned the housekeeper to pour him another tea:

"The Tartars outside the pass can wreak havoc around the capital, so why can't I, the Hammer Bandits, wreak havoc?"

"It's a joke. Governor Hong Chengchou has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to station in Ji Town. I heard that the Hammer Bandits claim to have 10 troops. It is estimated that they can only fight 4 to [-]."

"First, if Hong Chengchou has 10 people in his hands, he is considered capable;
Second, I, the hammer bandit, claims to have 10 horses. You'd better think that my commander really has 10 horses, or you will be the ones who suffer.

Thirdly, my family's commander-in-chief was hungry, so he thought of making peace because he was considerate of the people's feelings.

Otherwise, Daming would wait for the Northwest to raise the flames again, and the emperor would not be able to sleep at ease, waking up every night. "

"Are you threatening me?" Gao Qiqian clenched his fist slightly.

Sun Chuanting put down the exquisite teacup in his hand: "No, what I said may be the truth, or something very sincere."
