Chapter 50 Tianxiong, Zhongyong
The Jianlu bandits' invasion of the Ming Dynasty caused the entire Gyeonggi area to be shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Although the imperial court made many arrangements, they could only slightly curb this momentum.
After Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou entered Shenjing from where they were temporarily stationed, and then met at Fengtian Gate, they felt bursts of sadness in their hearts.
Once upon a time, the Ming Dynasty, which was once so powerful, was in this situation, and the capital was in danger. This has not happened for a long time.
"Shashasha..."
Except for some footsteps, no other sounds were heard in the majestic inner court. Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou, who followed the eunuchs of the inner court and rushed towards the Qianqing Gate, felt secretly surprised when they looked at the Beijing guards guarding various parts of the imperial city.
Different from other buildings in Shenjing, the atmosphere in the imperial city and palace city did not seem to be affected in any way, as if the Jianlu had never invaded the Ming Dynasty.
But this also made Lu Xiangsheng and the others secretly heave a sigh of relief. Under the current situation, if the emperor was also confused, then this battle would be really difficult for the Ming Dynasty.
"You two, please wait here for now."
Pang Tianshou, who was leading the way, stopped, turned to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou and said: "Please let us report to the emperor..."
"Your Majesty has decreed that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou should immediately march to the military base to have an audience." But before Pang Tianshou could finish his words, Wang Chengen, who hurried out, immediately read out the oral order.
"I accept the decree!"
"The final general's decree!"
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou, who were not sure why, immediately responded with their hands raised.
"You two, please come with our family." Wang Chengen stepped forward and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is waiting in the military aircraft office at this time. Don't keep your Majesty waiting."
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou looked at each other, wondering what Wang Chengen was talking about about the Military Aircraft Department. When did the government have this government office?
With this doubt, Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
"Um."
Wang Chengen responded briefly, and then led Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou towards the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the dragon throne and waiting anxiously.
However, his inner emotions cannot be expressed.
Although he was looking forward to the arrival of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou, at this time, he had to stay calm.
"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng, pays homage to your Majesty!"
"The last general, Sun Zushou, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Although the two of them have been idle at home, they always remember the Ming Dynasty in their hearts and always define themselves as the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
The current Ming Dynasty is in this situation. If they don't stand up to help the court share its worries and help the emperor solve problems, then what they have learned will be in vain.
"You two dear ladies are exempt from the gift."
Looking at Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou who were bowing their hands in salute, Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting stretched out his hand and gestured: "Wang Daban, give your two beloved ladies a seat."
"My slave obeys the order!"
"I would like to express my gratitude to you, general."
At this moment, in the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department, the voices of Wang Chengen, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Zushou echoed.
"Two dear friends, I think you all know what kind of disaster the current dynasty is going through." After seeing Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou sitting down with a little anxiety, Emperor Chongzhen said with a slight frown.
"But I guess you don't know the details of the situation. Wang Daban, please tell your two beloved ministers to read the memorial I prepared."
"This slave accepts the order!"
Wang Chengen, who was standing by, responded immediately, then quickly stepped forward, picked up the memorial prepared in advance, and walked towards Lu Xiangsheng and the others.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be more polite. Take your time and take a look." Seeing Lu Xiangsheng and others standing up to salute him, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Read it earlier. After reading it, I have something to tell you."
"
When Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou heard this, they suppressed the doubts in their hearts and took the memorial from Wang Chengen. They also heard Wang Chengen's voice: "Both of you, what I have given you is the same."
After being reminded by Wang Cheng'en, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou sat on the stools, looking through them with solemn expressions, and placed the extra memorials on their laps.
"Da da da."
"Shashasha..."
At this time, the military plane was in the main hall. In addition to the sound of Emperor Chongzhen knocking on the dragon table, there were the sounds of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou and others, looking through the memorials in their hands.
However, as they read more and more memorials, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou and others were secretly frightened. At this time, they finally understood what the Military Aircraft Department was.
We also learned about various important military tasks such as the reorganization of the Beijing camp, the creation of the capital governor's palace, the temporary establishment of the front, middle and rear guards to defend the capital, and even the matter of the Yongwei battalion led by Zhou Yuji to rush to Shimen Town.
"..."
After reading the memorial in their hands, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou were filled with shock. They did not expect that the invasion of Ming Dynasty by Jianlu would cause so many changes in the country.
And they did not expect that the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty would show such power this time. Even at this moment, Zunhua City was surrounded by the Jianlu.
"Boss, have you finished reading the memorial?"
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked towards Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou who looked surprised, and said sternly: "Let me make a long story short, the current situation is not good for the country.
Although I have used military aircraft to take charge of the defense against the Japanese invaders and deployed some defenses, in general, the country and the DPRK do not have many advantages.
My two dear friends, our country is currently facing a threat and we need your family’s full help to help me clear up the turmoil. Are you willing to help me?”
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"I am willing to do my best for the country."
The emotional Sun Zushou and the relatively calm Lu Xiangsheng bowed their hands to Emperor Chongzhen one after another.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Emperor Chongzhen praised him repeatedly, stepped forward to lift up Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou, looked at the two of them with sincerity, and said: "Since the two beloved ministers have said this, I will lead my subordinates bravely and stationed in the camp outside Guangqumen.
.
There, there are three elite troops from the Beijing camp arranged by me, Lu Qing and Sun Qing. You two are responsible for organizing and organizing the soldiers and horses stationed here into two groups and temporarily returning them to the Military Aircraft Department.
Lu Qing is in charge of the Tianxiong Army, and Sun Qing is in charge of the Zhongyong Army. Lu Qing is in charge, and Sun Qing is in charge. During the reorganization period, any necessary needs can be reported directly to the Military Aircraft Department.
Come here, bring me the Shang Fang sword I have prepared!"
"..."
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou felt waves in their hearts and looked shocked on their faces. They did not expect that the emperor would grant them such privileges.
"Your Majesty."
Wang Chengen respectfully handed over the Shangfang Sword. Emperor Chongzhen took it and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng. He said: "Lu Qing, I cannot grant you an official position at the moment. This Shangfang Sword is a symbol of your authority.
If anyone dares to disobey military orders, he can be killed first and then reported!"
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's favor!"
