I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 343 Definitely Defeating Liaoxi Generals

Chapter 342

The cold wind blowing from the north was chipping away at the city walls of Pingding Prefecture. Snow powder and ice particles hit like bullets, hitting their faces with severe pain. The eyebrows and beards of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers guarding the city were covered with a layer of frost. They have put on all the clothes they can find, and they look as bloated as bears.

Cold, it's really too cold. If you don't wear gloves, it's basically impossible to live peacefully with the weapons in your hands. After being exposed to the cold wind for less than half an hour, the skin on your palms will freeze with the weapons. Together, if you want to get rid of weapons, unless you tear off a layer of flesh and blood!
But even if the conditions are so difficult, they still stick to their posts, standing guard, patrolling back and forth, not for anything else, just because they are Ning Haijun.

The Battle of Pingdingzhou finally came to an end. However, in this battle, the Ning Navy suffered huge losses. Li Dingguo led 30 cavalry to fight, and only 140 people returned, and more than [-] seriously injured did not survive.Cheng Shijie led more than [-] elites, plus [-] personal guards, a total of [-] cavalry, and now only less than [-]% are left.

Ning Haijun also suffered more than 460 casualties. Of course, the most casualties were the routs organized by Xie Zhiliang. He stopped more than [-] routs and defended Pingding Prefecture. In the end, only There are [-] people left.

Shuo Lei dispatched to arrest more than 2 civilians. Only the four to five thousand children were rescued by Li Dingguo's courageous and decisive assault. When Li Dingguo was in a tight siege, he rushed to the Mongolian army who escorted them.

They scratched with their nails, bit with their teeth, smashed with stones, entangled with the Mongolian army, and were almost killed by the Mongolian army.And among the piles of women's corpses, you can see the corpses of many Mongolian soldiers. Their faces were scratched to pieces with nails, their eyeballs were gouged out, and their throats were torn open with the teeth of these desperate women. They were terrified. The disbelief and disbelief were solidified on their faces. Even after they had been exhausted for a long time, even if their faces had been scratched to pieces, it was still so clear. Probably until they died, they could not believe that these weak women could explode like this. Horrible, right?

Cheng Shijie's gaze stayed among the piles of civilian corpses for a long time, and his lips were almost bleeding from biting.Don't drag innocent civilians into the flames of war, this is his principle, and he has been adhering to this principle for so many years, but now the Mongolian army does not seem to intend to follow his rules!
Hou Si said sadly and angrily: "Nearly ten thousand women, all of them died! The few who survived by chance also went crazy! These bastards are not human!"

Cheng Shijie said: "This debt, I will get it back with interest!"

Cheng Shijie led the Ning Haijun and Tianxiong Army officers and men, and decided to start the battle to recover Taiyuan. In fact, the battle of Taiyuan was not difficult at all. With the defeat of the Chechen Khan Shuolei, the Mongolian army stationed in Taiyuan City had already fled.

Those original Taiyuan Mansion rebels had long since run away.

Cheng Shijie thought that except for Xie Zhiliang, most of the entire Taiyuan Mansion had surrendered. However, what Cheng Shijie didn't expect was that the town of Taiyuan Mansion was called Sanguan Town, which is often called the Outer Three Passes. It plays the role of supporting and strengthening Datong Town, preventing the enemy from deepening, and defending against the invasion of the Mongolian tribes in the north and west of the Ming Dynasty. It is the latest to be established together with Guyuan Town among the nine borders.

The three passes of Biantou, Ningwu and Yanmen are collectively called the "Three Outer Passes" of the Inner Great Wall. Most of the walls of the Great Wall are heavy boulders. Kou and Fort 39, there is one general officer guarding Shanxi, one deputy commander-in-chief, six guard generals, one guerrilla general, one officer in the camp, 13 guards, and two conduct guards.

When he came to Taiyuan City, Cheng Shijie knew that the six generals in Taiyuan Town, except He Sui who had been recruited, the other five generals Yang Liuqing, Li Dongping, Ning Shiwu, Zheng Zanyi, and Cai Lingwu all died in battle. Li Dongping was pierced through his body by more than a dozen spears. Because of the support of the spears, he did not fall until he died, while Yang Liuqing was burned from the calf. , burned to the waist, but the upper body was barely burned.

Obviously, Yang Liuqing was tortured to death. In the entire Taifu City, there were more than [-] soldiers of the Ming army who died in battle, but they did not have effective command and were defeated one by one...

When he came to Taiyuan City, Cheng Shijie could no longer recognize him. The city had been turned into ruins, and the corpses of civilians were everywhere. Due to the cold weather, the corpses did not rot, and they still kept the shape of ice sculptures. With a frightened face, he was hanged by the Mongolian Tatars on a tree and on the wall, forming a mountain of corpses one by one.

It can be seen that many people were directly driven into courtyards, and then set fires around them. Some people were burned alive, and some were choked to death. There were women's bodies everywhere, swaying in the wind. As they spoke, their mouths opened extremely wide, as if they were accusing, as if they were choking.

Cheng Shijie's face was terribly gloomy: "We must settle this account!"

……

Beijing City, Forbidden City.

Since the appointment of Cheng Shijie as the Prime Minister of the Nine Sides, Emperor Chongzhen has stopped expressing his opinions and shelved all issues during the court meeting. This is not a good phenomenon. On the eve of the storm, this kind of silence and silence makes people feel to uneasiness.

Cheng Shijie told Chongzhen that the king of a country cannot admit his mistakes. He is the son of heaven, the darling of heaven, and he will never make mistakes.Even if the emperor really did something wrong, he couldn't admit it. If he really wanted to admit it, he had to wait until his death, and then the successor would admit his mistakes for him. This has been the case since ancient times.

Cheng Shijie was defending him, and the ministers all over the world wanted Chongzhen to issue an imperial edict to admit his mistakes. This was a matter of principle.

"My lord!"

Wang Cheng'en said: "You should hurry up and eat something and drink a few glasses of wine to restore your strength... The battle is not over yet, who knows what will happen next, how can you cope if you don't have the strength."

The expression on Emperor Chongzhen's face moved stiffly: "What's going on with the Guan Ning Army now?"

Chongzhen is an emperor, and the rebellion of bandits all over the world is actually understandable, because the imperial court is sorry for them, but the imperial court is worthy of Guan Ningjun!All the country's resources were used to support those 10,000+ arrogant soldiers and let them live a prosperous life, but they dared to lose the chain at a critical moment.

Wang Cheng'en said: "Reporting to the emperor, the Ministry of War has received Zu Dashou's invitation to fight, and they request to fight!"

"Now Zu Dashou knows he's moved?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly and said, "So, General Cheng won..."

While talking, Ning Haijun's Lubu reported victory from outside: "Pingding Prefecture's great victory, Nine Border Prime Minister Cheng Shijie, led Ning Haijun with the support of Tianxiong Army, defeated the Chechen Khan in World War I, and now the Chechen Khan has fled !"

This news made Emperor Chongzhen believe even more that Zu Dashou must have received Cheng Shijie's battle report in advance. He knew that this battle would surely win the Ming Dynasty, and he only now knew that the Guan Ning Army was moving. They were not fighting, but snatching the fruits of victory.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, but thought in his heart: "In the future, all the generals in western Liaoning will be wiped out, no chickens or dogs will be left behind, and all the officers and soldiers of Guan Ning will be sent to low status. If this is not the case, I will not be able to dispel my resentment!"

This time, Zu Dashou was really wronged. He has decided to change his past, but the problem is that Guan Ningjun's bad deeds are full of stains. people believe.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally believed that Zu Dashou had seen Cheng Shijie's hope of defeating the Mongolian army in Mobei, and Zu Dashou wanted to pick peaches.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Banban, tell me, what will Cheng Qing do next?"

"This... old slave... the law of the ancestors, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics!"

"Forgive your innocence!"

Wang Chengen pondered: "This disaster, I'm afraid it will not be resolved until the beginning of spring!"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Wang Banban, what I am asking is not this matter, but you, whether Cheng Qing wants to be Cao Mengde or Wang Mang in the future!"

This is too serious. When the emperor asks a minister whether he wants to be Cao Cao or Wang Mang, there is basically no friendship between the monarch and his ministers, and only you die.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen is doubting one thing now, is Cheng Shijie forming a party now?Now more and more officials are impeaching Cheng Shijie, and Cheng Shijie is about to be impeached like a sieve.But the problem is, Qin Hui still has three close friends, why doesn't Cheng Shijie have any friends?

Although Cheng Shijie does not have the good name of Wang Mang, he can be Cao Cao.

Wang Chengen didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, but he knew that he and Emperor Chongzhen were one. If there was a rift between Cheng Shijie and Emperor Chongzhen, the sky of Ming Dynasty would collapse.

In this situation, if it weren't for Cheng Shijie, who would be able to turn the tide, and who could protect Emperor Chongzhen from the wind and rain?
"Slaves dare not speak!"

"But I let you tell!"

Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, don't you believe in General Cheng?"

"Wang Chengen, don't think that I don't know that you took Cheng Qing's money!"

"The servant took the money from General Cheng. If the emperor really asks the servant to say it, then the servant will say it!" Wang Chengen said: "Now the soldiers on the East Xuanfu Road are unbelievable. Datong, and Shanxi, The Nine Frontiers are no longer credible, what is the emperor going to do? Kill them all? Or replace them all?"

Emperor Chongzhen was really frightened by this time. Before that, Qiao Zhaolin of Jing'an Fort abandoned the city and fled. If Cheng Shijie hadn't stepped up to the top, the Mongolian army would have already reached the capital.From the Guanning Army to the Nine Frontier Army, they are not trustworthy.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie actually turned around in such an unfavorable situation this time. More than [-] cavalry, abandoning the advantage of field battles, can defeat the strongest Chechen Khan in Mobei while defending the city. Had to run away in embarrassment.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said: "Cheng Qing's military exploits this time are comparable to those of Yu Shaobao back then. Cheng Shijie's name as the God of War is resounding throughout the world! Now as long as Cheng Shijie raises his voice, the entire Liaodong Peninsula will be followed by clouds of followers. , Jiubian will respond in the northwest again, whether it is a separatist regime or going north to compete with Jiannu, it will all happen naturally. Will Cheng Shijie give up such a good opportunity? I'm afraid that even if Cheng Shijie wants to give up, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ning Navy will not be willing to do it, right? "

"It turns out that Your Majesty misses General Cheng so much. If General Cheng knows that the Emperor misses him so much, I'm afraid General Cheng will be disappointed!"

Chongzhen sneered.He was very suspicious at first, but after this heavy blow, it became even more serious. Da Ming raised Qiao Zhaolin for generations, but Qiao Zhaolin betrayed him. Woolen cloth?How did they repay Daming?

Sit on the wall and watch, as motionless as a mountain.

Emperor Chongzhen now forgot that it was Cheng Shijie who stepped forward, regardless of his own life, but only remembered that Cheng Shijie was more famous and had the strength to threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chengen seemed to be in an ice cellar, and Chongzhen actually thought of Cheng Shijie so much. Could it be that Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how strong Cheng Shijie really was?

However, seeing Emperor Chongzhen's attitude, Wang Chengen kowtowed to the gold brick (floor): "Your Majesty, Emperor, you can't..."

Wang Chengen didn't say this, but he said it. After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't listen to a word. He only remembered that Wang Chengen took Cheng Shijie's money.

Once the seeds of mistrust are planted, it will be like magic and suspicious everywhere.

This is like a woman suspecting that the other party is having an affair. Once such suspicion arises, various "favorable" evidences will be added involuntarily.Like, why did he take a shower?Is it because I am afraid that I will smell the other person?Why is he washing his face?Do you want to see each other cleanly?
Why doesn't he use his mobile phone anymore?Are you afraid that I will find out that the other party is chatting?He must have made an appointment, as long as he goes home, he will not send a message, that must be the case.

Human logic is so strange, it is very good at making up brains.

But the problem is that the content of the brain supplement is very consistent with the reality.

……

Just when Emperor Chongzhen doubted Cheng Shijie's loyalty to him, Zhou Ning, the chief of staff of the Ning Navy, was actually thinking about what to do next for the Ning Navy.

The Mobei Mongolian army went south, exposing the true strength of the Ning Navy to the people of the world. Cheng Shijie dispatched more than 60 troops from Liaodong. Looking at the entire Nine Frontiers army, there are more than 7 to nearly [-] soldiers in the military register of the Ministry of War. I am afraid that there are not [-] soldiers who can really fight.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ning Haijun is willing, he can use Ning Haijun in Cheng Shijie's hands at any time to play a game of changing flags on the Nine Sides, but it is a pity that Cheng Shijie will definitely not do this.

Zhou Ning looked at Sun Zhichen, the director of the management committee beside him, and said, "Master Sun, have you ever thought about the future?"

"after?"

Sun Zhichen was slightly taken aback: "What's going to happen in the future? Could it be that the imperial court will go down the house and take the ladder?"

"The brains of the people in the imperial court are not easy to guess!"

Zhou Ning smiled helplessly and said: "In Master Sun's opinion, do we Ning Haijun still have a choice? This officialdom is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! But the problem is, we can't retreat. Once we retreat, those who People, like hungry wolves, will pounce on us, tear us to pieces, and devour us until there is not even a bone left!"

Sun Zhichen was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

"Be prepared, we need to open up the pattern!"

Zhou Ning said solemnly: "We must prepare for the worst!"

"What does it mean?"

Sun Zhichen said with a wry smile: "Throughout the ages, the masters have made great achievements, but they have never ended well!"
