readx;? Beijing City, Kunning Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoChongzhen, who had just finished the morning court, was eating breakfast, and his years of dedication to government affairs made it rare for Chongzhen to have a peaceful breakfast with his family.

On this day, even Queen Zhou, who has always been unhappy on weekdays, showed a rare smile, constantly holding vegetables in the bowls of several princes.

Seeing the happy appearance of the family, even Chongzhen showed a relieved smile.

"Eight hundred miles of urgent report! Eight hundred miles of urgent report!" A little eunuch hurriedly held a book of songs, and ran towards Kunning Palace with a loud shout in his mouth.

"What's so flustered, don't you see that the emperor is having dinner with the queen?" Before entering the door, the little eunuch was blocked by Wang Chengen.

"Back to my father-in-law, this is an eight-hundred-mile urgent report from Governor Sun of Shaanxi, this Li Zicheng has resurrected and captured Xi'an! Even the prince of Qin has been martyred!" "What?" Wang Chengen was shocked, and hurriedly took the fold and trotted into the Kunning Palace, he understood that this matter must not be delayed, and he must leave to tell the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen, who came in, kept whispering in Chongzhen's ear.

Empress Zhou, who didn't know what was going on, saw that Chongzhen's forehead, which had just been stretched, suddenly became compact again.

"Hurry up and recruit Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia into the palace to meet them!" Chongzhen was still in the mood to eat at this time, and hurriedly ordered Wang Chengen to pass on the decree, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace without looking back after speaking, leaving only the queen and the princes on the huge dining table.

"The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia, who received the edict, did not dare to delay, but immediately entered the palace to see the driver.

"Flat, flat!" Chongzhen's words were full of impatience, "Do you know all about this Xi'an?"

"Back to Long Live Lord, the ministers have already received a report from the Ministry of War!" As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia hurriedly stood up and said.

"Look at it, look at it, what is the use of this Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi, the army of more than 100,000 people can't even exterminate some rogues, and even let them capture Xi'an and kill the family of King Qin. How do you let me face the emperors under the Nine Springs?" For the murder of King Qin's family, Chongzhen is deeply remorseful.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" Chongzhen's anger frightened Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia to kneel down quickly, "The emperor's capture of Xi'an this time is not Lord Sun's fault alone, if Lord Sun did not send 100,000 elite soldiers from Xi'an to the east to rescue the Beijing division, it would be impossible for the Liukou to easily break through Xi'an, which has a thick wall." As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia certainly has to defend his subordinates.

Chen Xinjia didn't say this, but it directly ignited Chongzhen's anger, and the angry Chongzhen directly slapped the table and shouted, "According to what you say, this is my fault, it was I who let this Sun Chuanting transfer out of Xi'an, which led to the loss of Xi'an?"

"No, no, it's not the emperor's fault, it's the minister's fault, it's the minister's fault!" Chen Xinjia realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly remedied.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen just lost his words for a while, and he definitely didn't mean to offend the emperor!" Now that they were on the same boat, Zhou Yanru hurriedly said good things for Chen Xinjia.

"Yes, the minister 、、、、、、 the minister just lost his words for a while, and he definitely didn't mean to offend the emperor! The minister should die, the minister should die!" Chen Xinjia kept kowtowing and asking for guilt.

"Alright, alright. Now the top priority is to recapture Xi'an immediately, and it is absolutely impossible to let Li Zicheng become bigger, do the two Aiqing have any good plans?". Chongzhen also has a headache, the affairs of the Tartars here have just been settled, and the affairs of the Liukou here have sounded the alarm again, and Chongzhen is tired and busy.

"Back to the emperor, the military department has strictly ordered Lord Sun to lead the troops back to help, and at the same time, the military department has also received reinforcements from Lord Sun! Please also ask the emperor to decide!" Chen Xinjia took out the fold and handed it over.

"Sun Chuanting has nearly 200,000 horses under his hands, and he still wants to ask for help?" Chongzhen, who had finished reading the recital, seemed to be a little unconvinced of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sun said in the recital that there are nearly a million rogue people this time, and Lord Sun is afraid that the 200,000 horses under his command will not be able to suppress the attack of this rogue bandit, so he also hopes that the emperor will send troops to support!" Chen Xinjia continued.

"Centaurs, where can I get some men and horses for him?" Chongzhen is very headache, although there are no less than one million people in the Ming Dynasty, but these million soldiers and horses have nearly 400,000 troops who are contained by the Tartars in the Shanhaiguan area, and nearly 400,000 are restrained by the Liukou, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses have to be stationed in various cities.

"Your Majesty, do you see if you transfer Yang Sichang's troops to help Lord Sun, Yang Sichang's subordinates also have 100,000 horses. Zhou Yanru on the side admonished.

"No, no!" Zhou Yanru was opposed by Chen Xinjia before his words fell, "Yang Sichang's 100,000 army is specially used to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, and now Zhang Xianzhong's development is also very fast, if Lord Yang withdraws from Sichuan, I am afraid that Chengdu will not be protected!"

"Then transfer Wang Feng's Guanning army, they have nearly 400,000 horses, and half of the soldiers and horses are transferred, I believe that they should be able to hold on to the city by virtue of the city, as long as we solve the problem of Liukou in Liaodong. Seeing that it was not possible to transfer Yang Sichang, Zhou Yanru started the idea of the Guanning Army stationed in Liaodong again.

"Your Majesty, this can't do this! The Tartars are extremely powerful, these 400,000 horses are a deterrent to the Tartars, once half of the men and horses are known by the Tartars, I am afraid that Jinzhou Shanhaiguan will not be protected!" Chen Xinjia once again spoke out to dissuade him.

"Then what should you do?" Seeing that Zhou Yanru's two proposals were vetoed by Chen Xinjia, the impatient Chongzhen simply asked Chen Xinjia directly, but Chen Xinjia didn't say a word at the critical moment.

Chongzhen's heart is actually more willing to draw Wang Feng's Guanning iron cavalry, 400,000 people and horses gathered in Liaodong and obeyed Wang Feng's orders, which made Chongzhen's heart a little uneasy, a few days ago Jinyiwei's report to the Guanning army made Chongzhen even more dissatisfied, this Wang Feng actually used his own silver to pay the army, although Wang Feng also maintained his face as the emperor, but Chongzhen was still angry.

Now taking advantage of the rescue of Xi'an is a good opportunity to weaken Wang Feng, where is Chongzhen willing to let go, "I have made up my mind, and I will transfer 200,000 people of the Guanning Army to enter the command of Sun Chuanting, and strictly order Sun Chuanting to recapture Xi'an, otherwise he will be severely punished!"

"The ministers obey the order!" Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.
