If possible, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the largest landowner of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the throne he sat on was entangled with too many branches and vines.

Isn't it bad to be a bandit?

Eat his mother, drink his mother, King Chuang will not accept food when he comes!

Didn’t the courier uncle Li Zicheng rely on these words to deceive all the people who were cheated by the officials, gentry and landlords?

The current Ming Dynasty is like a rusty machine, running hard. As a superior, a pair of eyes are staring at him overtly and covertly. He talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but in his heart he is thinking about selfish interests.

It was good to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few unlucky people who were unlucky and had their heads chopped off when the incident happened, most of them were just dismissed from their official positions and then returned to their hometowns to get away with it.

The mouths of Ming literati were so powerful. Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power would never end.

If you don't take advantage of this Jianlu invasion to recruit a group of useful talents and generals to build a basic base for yourself, then trying to gain power in the court is just a fool's errand.

…

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was busy moving again and stationed in Jizhou, Qian'an City, hundreds of miles away, showed another situation.

"The emperor actually went on a military expedition in person!?"

Yuan Chonghuan sat on the official hat chair, holding the letter in his hand, and secretly said with an uncertain expression: "No wonder the military orders issued by this governor, Fengrun, Yutian, Jizhou and other places, are all on hold..."

Yuan Chonghuan, who was waiting for Guan Jinning's reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, led his troops to Qian'an City and learned some information from Zhao Lijiao.

A special military aircraft department was in charge of the Jianlu invasion and issued an explicit edict. This strong signal alone made Yuan Chonghuan feel that Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of him.

The imperial court spent huge sums of money to build the defense line in front of the Liao Dynasty. Not only did it not weaken the strength of the Jianlu, it also allowed the Jianlu to bypass Mongolia and invade the important areas of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan, who knew the temper of Emperor Chongzhen, knew better than anyone else that if he could not repel the Jianlu and reduce the losses of the Ming Dynasty this time, then he, the governor of Liaodong, would be doomed!

It's just that the emperor, who doesn't understand military affairs, interfered in frontline operations so arbitrarily and even led the expedition himself. This made Yuan Chonghuan very irritable.

Being so tormented by the emperor, the Jianlu were allowed to besiege Zunhua City, which led to the Jianlu conquering Zunhua and the three camps in two places, allowing the Jianlu to control the key places in and out of the pass.

"Supervisor, Zhao Lijiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and the others are here." A servant waiting outside the hall walked into the hall at this time and saluted Yuan Chonghuan respectfully.

"Um."

Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses, frowned, glanced at the letter in his hand, and hurriedly folded it and put it in his arms. The letter sent by Huang Taiji must not be known to others, otherwise this despicable alienation plan will become

Really.

"Let them come in!"

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan said to the servant.

"Here!"

Yuan Chonghuan felt regretful about the five-year Pingliao period in Haikou that he had previously boasted about. Every time he thought about it, Yuan Chonghuan regretted it in his heart. This thing is easy to say, but too difficult to do.

However, for the sake of one's own face and one's own reputation, even if it is impossible to achieve peace in five years, it must become a possibility!

Being dismissed from office is a small matter, but losing your reputation is not!

"General, please wait and pay your respects to the Supervisor!"

Zhao Lijiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other generals walked into the main hall, looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was deep in thought, and bowed respectfully with clasped fists.

"Yes." Yuan Chonghuan responded, looked at Zhao Shujiao and the others, and said, "I have called you here today because I have a decision to announce."

Hearing this, Zhao Lijiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others showed different expressions. At present, Zunhua and Santun Camp were attacked by the invading Jianlu and even massacred the city.

As a team guarding Jianlu on the eastern front, they have yet to receive an order from the Military Aircraft Department. At this time, their own supervisor is about to announce a decision. Are they taking action without permission?

"I don't need to explain the current situation. You all know it in your heart."

Yuan Chonghuan stood up, glanced at the generals in front of him, and said: "Just now, I got the news that the emperor's imperial commander has personally marched."

"..."

Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others were horrified and looked at Yuan Chonghuan with shocked faces. This news was really shocking.

"The Jianlu invaded our important territory in the Ming Dynasty's capital. Under such a situation, how dare the emperor dare to take charge of the expedition himself!" He Kegang said with uncontrollable excitement.

"The strength of the Jianlu troops is far beyond what the ministers in the court thought. Why didn't they advise the emperor? If the invading Jianlu knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous."

Zu Dashou looked thoughtful, Zhao Shujiao was as excited as He Kegang, and some other generals were also in disbelief and shock.

"The emperor is worried about the situation on the front line and doesn't want to watch the Jianlu ravaging our Ming Dynasty capital!"

Yuan Chonghuan shouted in a deep voice: "As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we should share the worries of the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, I have decided to divide our troops!"

Zhao Lijiao, you lead your troops to the Santun Camp area to attack and harass Jianlu. You must not be reluctant to fight!

He Kegang, lead your troops to station in the Zhenzi Town area.

Zu Dashou, you lead your troops to stay in Qian'an City to guard against incoming Jianlu invaders.

I, the governor, personally led three thousand cavalry, went straight to Yutian, commanded the soldiers and horses from various places, and organized a battle to encircle and build captives!"

"this……"

Zhao Lijiao, He Kegang, Zu Dashou and others looked at Yuan Chonghuan in shock. They did not expect that their supervisor would actually bypass the emperor's specially designed military aircraft and end the battle!

If the emperor knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Superintendent, do you want to reconsider this matter?" Zhao led the teacher and stepped forward, clasping his fists to persuade him: "Previously, the Military Aircraft Department issued an edict stating that moving to the An City area is not allowed..."

"Don't I know this!?"

Yuan Chonghuan glared and yelled: "What time is it now? The emperor has already marched on his own expedition. If we can't share the emperor's worries and dampen the arrogance of the captives first, how will the next battle be fought?!"

Is it possible that Cheng Cheng just stayed in Qian'an City, doing nothing, watching Jianlu gather a large number of troops, find the location of the emperor's imperial chariot, and then reappear in Zunhua and the danger of the three camps!?"

Due to various considerations, Yuan Chonghuan would never sit still and wait for death. If he could not achieve the first victory in defeating Jianlu in this battle, after the battle was over, the furious emperor would definitely accuse him.

If that were the case, everything he had before would be gone, the good name of praise would be gone, the title of Great Ming and Virtuous would be gone, and he would also lose his authority...
