Chapter 41 November
Asking Sun Chengzong to leave the capital for Jizhou was something Emperor Chongzhen decided after careful consideration. Only in this way, and only in this way, can the garrison system east of Zunhua be clarified.
In this case, Yuan Chonghuan, who led his troops to the pass to rush for reinforcements, could not interfere too much in his overall deployment in the name of the so-called governor of Liaodong.
During the Jisi Incident, Yuan Chonghuan did too many tricks. If Yuan Chonghuan's power was really ignored and he was asked to act recklessly in order to protect his reputation, then there would be no need to fight this battle.
Furthermore, Sun Chengzong was a well-known commander, so he asked him to rush to Jizhou in advance to help him reorganize the front, middle and rear defenses he had set up, so that he could free up his hands to deal with other matters.
The Jianlu invasion of the Ming Dynasty shocked the world. This also caused many heroes to recruit young men to go to Beijing. Should Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, etc. be promoted?
Also during this period, should some heroes like Sun Chuanting, who resigned and returned home, be promoted? In addition, can the planning in Shaanxi be carried out in advance?
The more chaotic the situation in Ming Dynasty is, the more stable he, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, must be. If a person is unstable, he will not be able to show his sword in the future. So how to overturn this mess?
"Your Majesty, please go back and rest for a while."
Wang Chengen showed concern on his face and stepped forward and said: "Master Sun has been gone for almost an hour, and you have been standing for such a long time. You need to take care of your dragon body."
"Well, I understand."
Emperor Chongzhen responded with a faint smile on his face. There are benefits to setting up a special military aircraft department. There will be no objection to Qian Gang's arbitrary actions.
"Wang Daban, sent someone to the Jinyi Guards and asked Luo Yangxing to choose a reliable person and lead three hundred Jinyi Guards to catch up with Sun Qing and protect him."
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said to Wang Chengen: "Well, let's ask Li Ruolian. This person should be reliable and pass on my oral instructions."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen immediately responded with his hands raised.
The defense deployment of the front, middle and rear three defenses that we have constructed from the Zunhua area to the strategic location of Shenjing has come to an end. From the end of October to the beginning of November, I don't need to worry about these anymore.
With Sun Chengzong in charge of Jizhou and having the power to act expediently, there would be no problem in stabilizing the front, middle and rear defenses. He was able to go out to control Liaodong twice, so he still had the ability.
Seeing the Emperor in a good mood walking into the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru, and Xu Guangqi had an inexplicable emotion in their hearts. Perhaps in this battle, the Ming Dynasty could achieve a great victory and cleanse the Jianlu invaders.
Shame!
"My lords, all the important military tasks I have entrusted to me must be completed before the first day of November. There must be no reason to delay!"
Seeing Wang Qia and others looking at him, Emperor Chongzhen said sternly: "We have another military aircraft stationed here. The newly recruited military aircraft counselors should be asked to take office as soon as possible so as not to affect my subsequent layout."
"I'm waiting for the order!"
Wang Qia and others immediately responded with their hands raised.
Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood by taking advantage of the matter of establishing a border with the captives and making his own plans in the imperial court and in the Gyeonggi area.
In such a critical situation, if he doesn't even have the ability to change the situation, then he, the great emperor of tomorrow, has truly failed.
Although the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were powerful, Emperor Chongzhen was still able to use his imperial power to gain some advantages.
This battle with Jianlu must be fought well and utilized well. In addition to defeating and re-establishing Jianlu, all the plans previously made must be implemented by him while taking advantage of this chaotic situation.
Early morning?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t go up!
Donglin Party?
Shunchang is defeated!
Honorable relatives?
Take your pick!
The mess left by the Wanli Dynasty must be sorted out as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the crisis is over and we have not truly mastered a certain amount of military power, what will we do to fight against the civil servants of the DPRK?
Looking at the whole world, there are rebels all over the Ming Dynasty. It would be too difficult for a bare commander to fight. He must support the imperial party to check and balance the court.
"Your Majesty, this is what the factory guard got from catching bugs and ransacking the house."
Cao Huachun looked a little haggard. In the past few days, he had been busy with house searches and did not know much about the changes that had taken place in the court and the capital.
"Well, you've worked hard these past few days."
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand and praised: "The ability to copy tens of thousands of stones of grain is indeed beyond my expectation.
This time, you, the factory guard, did a good job, and you have lived up to my expectations. Let those who hold temporary official positions be granted full-time positions, which can be regarded as my reward."
"This slave accepts the order!"
Cao Huachun immediately responded with his hands raised.
"Well, step back."
Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand and said to Cao Huachun: "Do your job well. I will need factory guards next, so don't let me down."
Previously, Dongchang and Jinyiwei had risen one after another. Emperor Chongzhen appointed Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing as the leaders of the factory guards. In order to control Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the two men replaced many people.
Now, with the merit of confiscating the house, those who were simply removed have been given real jobs, and the cohesion between Dongchang and Jinyiwei has been initially formed.
This was also the first time since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne that Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who had broken their backs, were given corresponding power again.
If you want to check and balance the court, special agents like factory guards cannot be controlled, but how to use them and how to use them is also a science.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial compiled by the Military Aircraft Department. Your Majesty, please read it."
Wang Qia respectfully handed over a memorial, bowed his hands and said: "In addition, Changping Commander-in-Chief You Shiwei has led his troops to Tongzhou and has begun to rectify the rearguard defense."
After Sun Chengzong left the Military Aircraft Department and rushed to Jizhou to take charge of the overall situation, the so-called head of the Military Aircraft Department was named Wang Qia, who was temporarily in charge. In a sense, this temporarily calmed the hearts of the Donglin Party in the DPRK.
But for Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't care about this. Although Wang Qia was a member of the Donglin Party, compared with Qian Qianyi and others, he was not on the same level at all.
“Well done.”
Looking through the memorial in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in approval and said: "Hou Shilu, Mangui's troops, when will they arrive at their respective defense towns?
In addition, is there any news about the reinforcements led by Yuan Chonghuan?"
"Your Majesty, Hou Shilu, Mangui's troops are on their way urgently." Wang Qia hurriedly answered with his hands raised: "It is expected to arrive in Sanhe and Jizhou around the second or third day of November.
As for Yuan Chonghuan's headquarters, the Military Aircraft Department has not received any news yet, but Zhao Lijiao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, has led his troops to Qian'an to defend it.
Chapter completed!
