Chapter forty-ninth insanity
Under such circumstances, how could Chen Hong dare to neglect Xu Guangqi? He quickly said: "Master Xu, you are polite."
The two people entered the palace one after another.
Chen Hong stood beside his emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Master Xu is here."
Zhu Youxiao nodded, then glanced at Xu Guangqi.
At this time, Xu Guangqi was already lying on the ground and saluting: "Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi."
"Xu Aiqing, please forgive me!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
When Xu Guangqi stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I summoned Aiqing today because I saw Aiqing's greeting book."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao picked up a question book and shook it: "It was my fault. I ignored Aiqing."
Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "Why did your Majesty say this? I am really not feeling well and want to go back to my hometown to rest."
Smiling at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "Xu Aiqing, I know you have resentment in your heart. It's just that the affairs of the court are complicated, and I have a lot of health, so I have neglected Aiqing."
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Guangqi felt a little creepy.
You must know that Xu Guangqi is not a high official at all, nor is he an important minister. His Majesty's gentle words and comfort made Xu Guangqi always feel that something bad had happened.
Being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. This may not be appropriate to describe the emperor, so if you are polite, you must ask for something from others.
It would be difficult to get the emperor to treat others with courtesy. Xu Guangqi was pounding in his heart and became even more cautious.
"I know my love for you. Things are not peaceful, the mountains and rivers are not peaceful, and I know your love for your country."
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Since you want to train troops, then train boldly. I support Ai Qing. I will issue an order later and appoint Ai Qing as the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Jingying Rong.
Politics."
This official position is actually very clear. The first two are additional titles, and the governor of Jingying and Rongzheng is the most critical position.
Of course, although it is an additional title, it is also necessary. If it is really necessary, it will not be an additional title.
Xu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this. He was directly promoted so much? The left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? The minister of the Ministry of War? The governor of Jingying Rongzheng?
Logically speaking, getting promoted is a good thing, but to suddenly go from an official whom no one wants to see and look down on to such a high position, Xu Guangqi's heart is really a little beat up.
I am not His Majesty’s confidant either! My official career has not been smooth these years. My current official position is the Young Master of James Mansion and the Censor of Henan Province.
"I'm scared! I'm not in good health and I'm afraid I might have betrayed the divine grace." Xu Guangqi quickly knelt down on the ground and said loudly.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and continued: "Aiqing, you don't have to be like this, I know Aiqing's abilities well. I have prepared a mansion for Aiqing in the capital, and you will be there after Aiqing returns.
The imperial doctor will diagnose and treat Aiqing. The decree will be issued soon, please don’t let me down!"
"I accept the decree." Although Xu Guangqi was still uneasy in his heart, he knew that he could not push it out.
What's more, I don't want to leave in my heart. Contributing to the country is what I want to do, otherwise I wouldn't be training in Tongzhou. But now that I have entered the Beijing Camp, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to train.
Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi had mixed feelings in his heart. But he also understood that he couldn't help himself now.
Watching Xu Guangqi leave, Zhu Youxiao sat down helplessly.
He originally wanted to draw Xu Guangqi into Wei Zhongxian's party, at least in name only.
But after meeting Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao hesitated. This approach was inappropriate.
Xu Guangqi is a rare non-party person, so why don't you support him? In this case, you cannot classify Xu Guangqi as an eunuch.
You must know that you cannot rely on Wei Zhongxian forever, so you must start training new people!
While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to train new people, the war in Liaodong finally started!
Nurhaci ordered an attack on Shenyang.
The Mongols, who were the vanguard of cannon fodder, rushed towards the city wall of Shenyang City carrying ladders, followed by Nurhachi's Eight Banners.
Xiong Tingbi stood on top of the city and looked down expressionlessly.
Under the city wall are trenches, which were dug by the Mongolian invaders. If the Jurchens want to rush to the city, they must first pass through those trenches. The easiest way is of course to set up a ladder, put the ladder on both sides of the trench, and then climb down from the ladder Climb over here.
"Tell the archers and artillerymen to fire arrows and fire cannons once the slaves enter the trench." Xiong Tingbi said to Li Rongguang beside him.
Soon the vanguard rushed to the front of the trench, and the ladder was set up directly.
At this time, the sound of artillery and arrows piercing the air also sounded from the top of Shenyang City.
The iron ball bullets from the artillery hit the Mongolians directly, and the impact of rolling forward basically destroyed whoever it hit.
At the same time, there were also explosive bombs, which exploded directly in the Mongolian formation.
The feather arrows were shot down as if they were free of charge. Because they were projectiles, basically if they were hit, they would be shot to the core.
Although there were arrows shot from below the city, the difference between upward shots and downward shots was really too big.
At the rear of the battle formation, Nurhachi looked at this scene with a sad face. Although these Mongolians were not very good, the Ming army was well prepared.
Facing such arrows and artillery, let alone attacking the city, even passing through these trenches is not a simple matter.
What's more, the Ming army dug two trenches frantically!
Thinking that it was the Mongolian craftsmen he sent to do the digging, Nurhachi felt as if he had eaten a fly, with an ugly expression.
"Father Khan, the scouts who went to Liaoyang are back." Dai Shan came to Nurhachi's side and said cautiously: "Liaoyang City is also like Shenyang City, trenches were dug and water was poured."
Nurhachi glanced at Daishan, then nodded.
In fact, he had already thought that this was the case in Shenyang, how could Liaoyang be better? This bear man actually acted like a turtle, which was really unpalatable.
Thinking of this, the expression on Nurhachi's face became even more gloomy.
If Liaoyang relaxes, he can attack Liaoyang by surprise, at least mobilize the Ming army from Shenyang City, and then stage an ambush halfway.
In Nurhaci's view, as long as the Ming army dares to come out, he will definitely be able to defeat Xiong Tingbi and defeat the Ming army. But looking at the current situation, the Ming army is destined not to come out.
"Father, why don't we surround three men but one man is missing?" Daishan gave Nurhachi an idea. Maybe if we surround three men but one man was missing, Xiong Tingbi could escape? Or other generals in the city could flee.
Once a general flees, the Ming army will be in chaos and will be annihilated by then. As long as the Ming army leaves the city, everything will be easy to handle.
Daishan thought he could give it a try.
