Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 69 What a pig

In front of him, a military general was none other than Jiang Gan. Seeing the young King Dai in front of him getting angry, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, General, this is just a rumor that I heard. It cannot be taken as true without verification. I just felt that I shouldn’t hide it from His Highness, so I came here to report it.”

The king of this generation was called Zhu Chuan. Hearing his words, he was furious and still said in a hateful voice: "Gu Zao didn't like him anymore, so he made trouble for the Ming Dynasty clan. And he is indeed from Shaanxi, from the same hometown as that Li Thief. There’s no guarantee they won’t collude!”

But he didn't know that Jiang Yu, the complainant in front of him, was actually from Shaanxi.

At this time, Jiang Quan heard this and advised again: "Your Highness, please calm down, otherwise it will be difficult for the general to do so. After all, he is the governor of Datong and a frontier official of the imperial court. If it is just unconfirmed news, even if the imperial court If you know about it, I'm afraid they will blame us for slandering the court officials!"

After Zhu Chuan heard this, he slammed the table and said to him: "You can check it with Gu. As long as it is verified, Gu will certainly impeach him."

"I will obey your orders!" Jiang Yan heard this and immediately responded with a serious expression, and then left.

After leaving Prince Dai's Mansion, he mounted his horse and turned to look at the magnificent Prince Dai's Mansion, with a sneer on his face.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were just pigs raised in captivity. They were monitored by local officials. They only had a little money. They dared to impeach the officials of the imperial court for fear of being attacked by the civil servants in the court.

Without any self-awareness, he is really a pig!
After finishing his sneer, Jiang Gan rode away and hid in the dark night.

The next morning, Wei Jingyuan dragged his sick leg to Prince Dai's Mansion to seek an audience, but was turned down.The acting king ignored him at all, leaving Wei Jingyuan with no choice but to find other ways to raise money.

………………

At the same time, in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen, wearing leather armor and riding a war horse, was reviewing the cavalry he had assembled with so much hard work.

No more, no less, just ten thousand cavalry. This will be the capital for his first step in conquering the world.

Standing at the front of the military formation were commander-in-chief He Zhen, He Zan and Wei Shizhen.

Among them, He Zan was the son of He Huchen. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan led a large-scale invasion of the Ming border. He Huchen died in the battle. His son He Zan led fifty cavalry to break out of the siege.When the capital city was defeated in the 17th year of Chongzhen, he was shot to death by random arrows while fighting against the enemy.

The most important thing for Emperor Chongzhen's newly formed cavalry army is loyalty.Although he felt that after a series of operations, the other generals should also be loyal.However, just in case, he still transferred the cavalry generals of the Jizhen Army and Baoding Army, those who had no historical record of martyring their country, to serve in the infantry camp.

All the officers in this cavalry camp were martyred for their country in history.In this way, he can at least ensure that the cavalry army he started has absolutely no problem with its loyalty.

At this time, more than [-] cavalry troops were randomly distributed among the three generals, with [-] each. Emperor Chongzhen himself directly led [-] cavalry as a personal barracks. Fang Zhenghua stood in front of the personal barracks.

For those soldiers who are about to go on an expedition and whose relatives have not yet moved to the capital, all their military pay has been deposited into the designated bank, so they have no worries.

The armor wearing rate of the cavalry camp reached [-]%, and most of them were leather armor with good protective performance.Ordnance and other equipment were given priority and were fully equipped.

In addition, each soldier was allocated ten days' worth of military rations and horse feed. In terms of logistics, there was sufficient guarantee.

Every cavalry officer has high morale. He holds the reins of the war horse in one hand and stands upright on the left side of the horse's neck.Although there were more than [-] people, all they could hear was the howling of the cold wind and the occasional snoring of war horses.Emperor Chongzhen glanced over it and was very satisfied.Then, he shouted loudly: "We will take oaths to fight in the afternoon. If the officers and soldiers have letters to leave for their wives, children, or children, they can leave them with the queen."

Behind him, Queen Zhou was waiting with one or two hundred palace maids and chamberlains. They were already waiting there with paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and tables in their hands.

It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen really spent a lot of thought on his starting capital.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to discuss matters with the generals of the cavalry camp in the Shouhuang Hall.

In fact, Prince Zhu Cixiang was also present at the Shouhuang Palace.

The main hall door was closed, and except for them, there were no maids or chamberlains.Even Fang Zhenghua did not stand beside the emperor, but stood inside the palace gate.

One look at this posture, and you know that the content of this meeting is absolutely very important.

Sure enough, after the generals met, Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious face: "Around February [-]th, Li's army will attack Ningwuguan in a large scale. The general of the three passes, Zhou Yuji, will lead [-] troops to defend Ningwuguan for about seven days. , and finally ran out of ammunition and food and fought tooth and nail to die for the country. I led the troops in the first battle to save Ningwuguan and block Li’s army in Shanxi..."

Hearing this, the generals below couldn't help but be a little shocked: How did the emperor know that Li's army would attack Ningwuguan on February [-]th?
But they quickly came to their senses and gave the answer themselves. It must have been suggested by Emperor Taizu!
"...The key to this battle is to arrive before Ningwu Pass is broken!" Emperor Chongzhen glanced down and asked seriously, "Do you know?"

This meeting is a pre-battle meeting. If you don't say anything and just lead the army without explaining it to these generals, it is likely to cause problems.

After hearing this, He Zhen immediately replied on behalf of the other generals: "Your Majesty, there are at least ten more days left. We can arrive before February [-]th. There will be no problem!"

They understood the situation and had doubts in their hearts, but they still answered the emperor's words first.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, but his expression was not relaxed at all. He still said seriously: "There are two other things. The leading generals in Xuanfu and Datong Military Town will surrender the thieves. I will kill the rebels along the way and control Datong and Xuanfu. Second Town, I thought Ningwuguan would be the back up!"

He Zhen was actually thinking just now, why not send someone to convey the order and let Datong and Xuanfu rescue Ningwuguan, wouldn't it be more convenient?Only when he heard the emperor's words did he finally understand what was going on.

This time, his expression suddenly became serious. Not only him, but other generals also had expressions that were equally serious.

However, at this time, they did not doubt the emperor's words at all, because this must have been suggested by Emperor Taizu.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and continued to request seriously: "You can speak freely if you have any suggestions for this battle and how to behave! If you need cooperation from the capital, and the prince is here, you can tell me!"

We chose to hold this meeting in the capital, rather than after leaving the city, just to ensure that with the cooperation of the capital, we would have a better chance of winning.

When it's time to make decisions, it's time to make decisions. In military discussions like this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it would be better to learn from the methods of later generations. After brainstorming, three cobblers could stand up to Zhuge Liang!
