Ming Empire

Chapter 101 Someone is going to pick peaches

Sun Chuanting finally figured out what Emperor Chongzhen meant, that is, the emperor wanted to use him again, and asked him to supervise the military affairs of Shaanxi and Henan, and suppress the increasingly serious troubles of rogues.

These three years of prison life have caused Sun Chuanting's temperament to change drastically. His previous personality was only reflected in the resentful question when he first met Emperor Chongzhen, and he always spoke in accordance with Emperor Chongzhen's will.Of course, he would not refuse another chance to change his destiny. Without any rejection or twitching, he accepted Emperor Chongzhen's order to go to Henan to wipe out the rogues. Now, I will definitely wipe out the bandits for the emperor, wipe out the slaves, and restore peace to the world.

Emperor Chongzhen also resolutely resumed Sun Chuanting's previous position, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of Youqian capital, and admiral of military affairs in Henan and Shaanxi.After announcing the appointment on the spot, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Sun Chuanting what troops he needed to dispatch.

During the dialogue with Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting has basically understood the battles between the Ming Dynasty's army and Jiannu, as well as the battles with the rogues in recent years. Hearing this question from Emperor Chongzhen, he thought about it, and answered directly: "I hope your Majesty can assign Cao Bianjiao's troops to the subordinates, and then hand over the Datong Caoyue troops to the ministers' command, and the rest of the troops will follow your majesty." I don't have any special requirements for the transfer."

"Okay, I agree to your request, that is, order Cao Bianjiao to lead his troops into the pass, and you will put down the bandits, but," Emperor Chongzhen paused, and then changed his tone, "I can hand over Cao Yue's Datong army to you, but Cao Yue But I can’t go with you to Henan to suppress the rebellion.”

"Why?" Sun Chuanting was at a loss as to why Emperor Chongzhen did this.

The combat exploits of Cao Yue and Cao Bianjiao are there. These brothers are the most powerful warriors in Ming Dynasty today. Needless to say, Cao Bianjiao, Sun Chuanting has seen his achievements and almost chased Li Zicheng to nowhere. In the end, he only led eighteen cavalry to escape.But Cao Yue has never seen it before. The Datong Army was trained by Cao Yue. To exert the greatest combat effectiveness, it must be under the command of Cao Yue. If it is replaced by other generals, its combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.Moreover, Sun Chuanting was also very interested in Cao Wenzhao's son, and wanted to see Cao Yue's commanding methods in person.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want Cao Yue to go to Henan with him, of course Sun Chuanting couldn't understand it.

"I have prepared Cao Yue to be my son-in-law and marry Princess Kunxing to him. I want him to be the admiral of the Beijing camp after he gets married, and Datong will be guarded by others. Therefore, he cannot go out with you!" Emperor Chongzhen had a meaningful look when he spoke.

Sun Chuanting understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen in an instant. Although the old emperor said it nicely, as if he loved Cao Yue very much, he wanted to give Cao Yue a higher salary and position, but he made it clear that he wanted to pick peaches and take Cao Yue away. The Datong army, which has been trained by itself and has a very strong combat effectiveness, also wants to use Cao Yue's ability to train the Beijing camp into an army with the same combat effectiveness.

This calculation is good, but will Cao Yue hand over the Datong army easily?

Sun Chuanting is very aware of the temperament of those who hold actual military power in the Ming Dynasty. Asking them to hand over the army is tantamount to killing them, and no one would be willing to do so.Sun Chuanting believed that Cao Yue, with such ability, would not easily abandon his military power.Admiral Jingying, although it sounds nice, but everyone knows that Jingying is not so easy to manage. How many interests are involved behind this?

No matter how capable Cao Yue was, he couldn't completely control the Beijing camp, let alone train the soldiers of the Beijing camp to become defenders.

Sun Chuanting also expressed his worries: "Your Majesty, if Cao Yue is unwilling to accept the imperial court's order, to serve in the Beijing camp, and to hand over the army to the ministers, what should we do?"

"This is my will, he dare not disrespect it!" Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

"Now that Datong is in crisis, Li Yan and Liu Zongmin's army is accomplices in Datong. Cao Yue has enough reasons to resist!"

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said in a muffled voice: "When the crisis in Datong is over, you follow my will and go to Datong in person to take the Datong army from Cao Yue!"

"Cao Yue has the Shangfang sword bestowed by His Majesty in his hand, and I am afraid that I will be killed by him in a fit of anger!" Sun Chuanting still bargained.

At this time, the palace people outside reported that there was an urgent military report from Datong.After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen walked in and asked the general to report it in.Wang Chengen didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen's order, and hurried over to take the general's love in, and presented it up.

Emperor Chongzhen quickly opened it and looked carefully.Looking at it this way, the unhappiness caused by Sun Chuanting's few words just now disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help shouting: "That's great, Cao Yue actually defeated Li Yan under the city, and the rogues retreated from the city of Datong. Liu Zongmin's department also stopped going northward. That's great, haha!"

"Your Majesty, Cao Yue is really a warrior with outstanding abilities. He dared to go out to fight with an inferior force, and achieved a good record!" After hearing this, Sun Chuanting was also awed by it. This Cao Yue is really not an ordinary person. He really wanted to see him so well, and let this person be his right-hand man, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I still ask for permission to let Cao Yue go to Henan with me!"

"I won't allow it," Emperor Chongzhen resolutely rejected Sun Chuanting's request: "Now that the crisis in Datong has been lifted and the area around the capital is safe, you can go to Datong for me and reward the Datong army. The princess is married, and she is the admiral of the Beijing camp."

"Your Majesty, I feel that Cao Yue is definitely unwilling to leave Datong and give up the Datong Army he built as a novice!" Sun Chuanting still hopes that Cao Yue can lead the Datong Army to join him, so he still insists on his statement, "I feel that it is better to make It would be better for him to lead his army to fight in Henan!"

"If I say no, I can't. Cao Yue must leave and come to Beijing." Thinking that the crisis in Datong was resolved by Cao Yue, and the crisis in the capital also dissipated with the resolution of the crisis in Datong, Emperor Chongzhen also breathed a sigh of relief and took a step back. "You can promise him some conditions, such as allowing him to take away some of the troops, and other conditions that I can do without exception. Cao Yue defeated the invading bandits and kept Datong safe. I can promise him some conditions !"

"So, I can rest assured!" Sun Chuanting said, showing a reassuring smile. What he wanted was the concession of Emperor Chongzhen.With the bottom line, he has the confidence to take the Datong army from Cao Yue. He believes that as long as Cao Yue is lured enough, Cao Yue will definitely leave Datong and hand over the Datong army to him. "The minister will go to Datong today to present His Majesty's reward and the latest will."

"Even if I order Cao Bianjiao's tribe in Liaodong to go south, after you return from Datong, you will be ready to go to Henan immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
