Chapter 16 Governor-General Jingying Rongzheng

Zhang Weixian was stunned. He didn't know what the emperor meant by these words at this time. He was already old. If it hadn't been for the emperor's oral instructions this time, he would still stay in the British palace to provide for his old age.

"Mr. Yingying, you, of the Zhang family, have been loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty since you followed Emperor Cheng Zuwen to Jingnan."

Looking at the stunned Zhang Weixian, the sitting Emperor Chongzhen said calmly.

"I was ordered by Emperor Xizong to inherit the great unification and wanted to reverse the decadence of the Ming Dynasty.

However, during this period, Wei Wei had planned something wrong, so you were ordered to step forward to help me during the turmoil of the country.

I keep these in mind.

Now our country, the Ming Dynasty, is at a critical stage of life and death. The rebels have invaded the Ming Dynasty, and there are very few people available to the country.

Now Jianlu has entered the pass. Although the situation of the battle ahead is unknown, I know that Jianlu's next step is to attack Zunhua, the important place of the Three Tun Camps.

Yuan Chonghuan is unreliable!

Since he deceived me and asked the court to spend a lot of money, the Guan Jinning defense line he built was easily bypassed by the Eight Banners, and he was able to attack the pass in a grand manner. This has become a big joke!"

boom!

Zhang Weixian couldn't hide his horror. He never imagined that Yuan Chonghuan, who had been trusted by the emperor before, would now be cast aside by the emperor like this.

However, in retrospect, Yuan Chonghuan was resurrected again and was appointed by the emperor as Minister of War, concurrently serving as the right deputy censor of the capital, superintendent of Ji Liao, and also superintendent of Denglai and Tianjin military affairs.

Zhang Weixian was quite dissatisfied with the proposed five-year peace of Liaoning, his actions on the Liaodong front line, and the reduction of the defense of the Three Associations within the Pass.

If the Jianlu were really so easy to deal with, they would have been annihilated by the Ming Dynasty as early as the Tianqi Dynasty, how could they have ended up in this situation now?

The current situation can be described as a quagmire, and Zhang Weixian does not want to get involved. If he is not careful, the British government will be plunged into dire straits.

"Your Majesty, I am scared."

Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian quickly raised his hands and bowed, with a look of fear on his face.

This old fox is out of touch.

It seems that if you don't promise some benefits, I won't be able to lend your hand to severely rectify the capital camp.

Looking at Zhang Weixian who bowed his hands and Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he was thinking in his heart, what benefits should be promised to Zhang Weixian in order to achieve his goal?

"British Lord, you are my hero and the loyal friend of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up slowly, walked towards Zhang Weixian, stretched out his hands to support Zhang Weixian's arms, and said with a sincere face: "At this time of turmoil in the country, I would like to ask you to be the governor of the capital camp and military affairs, to help me organize the five military camps. God,

Pivot Camp, Shenji Camp!

If my Ming Dynasty can defeat the invading Jianlu in this battle, I want to do what the King of Zhongshan does, but I don’t know if the British Lord is willing to help me wipe out the invading thieves?"

"this……"

Zhang Weixian was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face, "The matter of the King of Zhongshan, isn't that the same family of two countries!"

Once upon a time, his Zhang family had the honor of being one of the three nobility, but the title was not hereditary and could not be replaced.

But at this moment, Zhang Weixian never expected that the emperor would actually make such a serious promise in front of him.

If he takes over the errand, helps the emperor organize the capital camp, and defeats the invading Jianlu, then wouldn't his British lineage be more glorious in his hands?

What a temptation it is to rest with the country!

"Chen...chen..."

What Emperor Chongzhen said made the scheming Zhang Weixian feel a little confused, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

A two-state public?

Go ahead and dream!

Although I have said that I am in the lineage of the King of Zhongshan, I have never said that I will give you the lineage of the Zhang family again, and you will be a Duke of the country who will retire with the country.

Damn it, I will give you a count. As for whether you will retire with the country, it depends on your old boy. How dare you take this job and how hard you can organize the Beijing camp.

"Old dear, at this time of turmoil in our country, would you like to help me share my worries? Do your best for our country, the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked at Zhang Weixian with emotion and said.

"Old minister is willing!"

Zhang Weixian's eyes were red, and he was about to kneel down on the ground because of his emotion, but Emperor Chongzhen held him up. Zhang Weixian said excitedly: "The Jianlu are so arrogant that they dare to invade the territory of our Ming Dynasty and intend to disrupt the foundation of our Ming Dynasty.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I will still contribute to the country even if I risk my life. I am willing to share your Majesty's worries!!"

"well!"

Emperor Chongzhen praised Zhang Weixian repeatedly, held Zhang Weixian's arms, and said: "Old dear, I really did not mistrust you. Today, the military system in Beijing has collapsed.

I also know in my heart that the five military camps, Shenshu Camp, and Shenji Camp are severely underpaid and have very few available personnel!

Dear Sir, if you are to oversee the military affairs of the capital camp, you should organize an elite army from all three camps and ignore the remaining stragglers.

The troops should be fine, not numerous. If there is any obstruction, Lao Aiqing can act easily.

Ten days!

I can only give you ten days at most, and you must organize a division of elite soldiers in the Fifth Army Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Shenji Camp. Is it possible?"

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he suddenly felt pressure on his face, and he was secretly shocked. If the emperor called him this, he would offend a large number of nobles in the capital camp.

He was originally the Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion and was in charge of the capital's affairs. He knew the situation of the Fifth Army Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Shenji Camp very well.

If the emperor's wishes were followed and he really reorganized the Beijing camp, then after this battle is over, the remaining stragglers would be eliminated.

But a two-country family is really too tempting!

"Old minister accepts the order!"

Zhang Weixian's eyes shone brightly, and he raised his hands respectfully and said: "Even if I risk my life, I will prepare an elite army for Your Majesty!"

"good!"

Emperor Chongzhen put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "With these words from my dearest friend, I feel relieved. Come here, I will give you the British Lord Shang Fangjian, allow you to do things expediently, and make the governor of Beijing conduct military affairs."

In addition, punish hundreds of Han generals to protect the British Duke!"

"This slave accepts the order!"

Li Fengxiang, who was waiting outside the hall, immediately responded with his hands, but he was quite shocked in his heart that his own prince actually valued the British prince so much.

At this time of turmoil, he actually asked his governor to conduct military affairs in the capital. This is not to say that he has great power in his hands.

"Old dear, it's not too late. You can go and take care of this matter immediately."

Looking at Zhang Weixian in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said with emotion.

"Old minister accepts the order."

Zhang Weixian immediately responded with his hands raised.

After being greeted by Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Weixian left the military aircraft station with excitement in his heart, but he was thinking about how to organize the capital camp and complete the errands assigned by the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing outside the hall, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment and looked at Zhang Weixian's retreating back with a cold expression.

When you have no control over the situation in the court, and you are in such a dangerous situation, you must use inducements to lure them, and ask knowledgeable ministers or nobles to help you reorganize the court and the capital. This is what you must do.
