Chapter 3 Migration to the South
For Chongzhen, moving south is undoubtedly the best way, and in Chongzhen's heart, he also recognizes moving south, but Chongzhen is still worried about the impact of this southward migration and the safety on the road. Bayi Chinese =≈≈.=8≈1≠Z≠=.≥C≥O≠M
"Your Majesty!" Li Mingrui saw Chongzhen's embarrassed face, he understood what the emperor was worried about, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the thieves are now powerful, they are only limited to Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, Shandong, Henan and other places are still in the hands of the imperial court, plus there are still three towns of elite soldiers in the Yangtze River, as long as the emperor is willing to go south, these three towns of elite soldiers can definitely guarantee the safety of the emperor." ”
"Yes! Yes!" After being reminded by Li Mingrui, Chongzhen remembered the three towns of the Yangtze River, these three towns still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands, and with the escort of the soldiers and horses of these three towns, the safety of the southbound should not be a problem.
"It's just that this southward migration is good、、、、、、 the safety of the southbound journey has been guaranteed, and Chongzhen's confidence in moving south has been strengthened, but now there is a shortage of people.
"Your Majesty, Chen Yan and Wei Dezao are the deputy assistants of the cabinet, it is more appropriate for them to put forward this proposal, and then the emperor only needs to approve it again!" Li Mingrui, who was following Chongzhen, had already been clear about Chongzhen's thoughts, and even the person who proposed it, Li Mingrui had thought about it!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Aiqing is really my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! Someone is coming! Hurry up and pass on Chen Yan and Wei Dezao to meet you!" Chongzhen, who couldn't wait, didn't even wait, and directly announced the summons.
In the Qianqing Palace, Chen Yan and Wei Dezao, who were following behind the eunuchs, were trembling. Every time they enter the palace, the two of them are always frightened.
"Lord Chen, what is the so-called matter of this emperor summoning us!" Wei Dezao, who had no bottom in his heart, asked Chen Yan next to him in a low voice.
"How does the old man know! Wait for the opportunity to act!" Chen Yan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chongzhen's gourd, and now he could only take one step at a time.
"Weichen Chen Yan and Wei Dezao see long live the emperor, long live long live!" As soon as they entered the hall, Chen Yan and Wei Dezao shouted long live.
"Come on, come on, two Aiqing will be exempt!" Chongzhen was ready to reach out to help.
This frightened Chen Yan and Wei Dezao and the two quickly stood up, this emperor is so abnormal today that the two of them are scared a lot.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you summoned Weichen to meet you!" Chen Yan, as a cabinet assistant, had no choice but to ask.
"Aiqing, you also know that our dynasty has implemented the two-capital system since Emperor Chengzu, I heard that this Nanjing is outstanding and rich in products, and I have never toured the south, I want to go to the south recently, what do you think?" Chongzhen's words seemed to have nothing to do with the southward migration, but the hints between the words were obvious enough.
Chen Yan and Wei Dezao looked at each other, the emperor said that it was going south on the surface, but everyone knew that the imperial court had reached this point today, and it sounded like it was going south, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was moving south, and the emperor Chen Yan and Wei Dezao had already understood what the emperor meant.
"The two Aiqing are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, and I believe that the two Aiqing also support my southward journey!"
"It's 、、、、、、," Wei Dezao muttered, he certainly knew what it would mean if the cabinet came to propose this, just as he was about to refuse.
"The minister is absolutely in favor of the emperor's southward journey. Cabinet assistant Chen Yan directly expressed his support, which surprised Wei Dezao, who wanted to refuse.
"Wei Aiqing, what do you mean?" Chongzhen turned his head again and asked Wei Dezao on the side.
"Lord Chen's meaning is the meaning of Weichen, which is the meaning of Weichen!" Wei Dezao said twice in succession, but he scolded Chen Yan fiercely in his heart.
"Okay! Okay! The two Aiqing are indeed loyal ministers! I hope that the two of you will take the initiative to propose tomorrow's court meeting. Chongzhen didn't expect this thing to go so smoothly, and shouted twice in a row.
"My lord, why did you agree to the emperor, don't you know that if our cabinet proposes this, the emperor will definitely put the charge of abandoning the Jingshi on the heads of you and me. Wei Dezao, who came out of the inner court, was full of complaints about Chen Yan.
Listening to Wei Dezao's constant complaints, Chen Yan stopped and glanced at Wei Dezao, "Do you think it will be okay if the old man doesn't agree at this time? If the old man doesn't agree just now, it is estimated that you and I will not be able to get out of this palace gate!" After speaking, Chen Yan didn't wait for Wei Dezao, and walked out of the palace gate alone, leaving Wei Dezao still chewing quietly there.
Jinzhou City, Jinzhou City is unusually lively these days, Wang Feng has issued a retreat order to the people of Jinzhou counties, and now the people of Jinzhou four miles and eight townships have all poured into Jinzhou City.
"The young marshals are all settled!" More and more people poured into Jinzhou, which made Song Xiance, a military division, very busy, and this settlement alone made Song Xiance feel a pain in his head.
"Does the young marshal really want to retreat?" Of course, Song Xiance understood the current situation of Daming, but for a while, it was still difficult for him to accept the reality of giving up Jinzhou.
"Advice! The emperor can only rely on us now, if the Jingshi is broken, we will be attacked on our backs!" Wang Feng said as he cleaned up the things on the table.
"Young marshal, according to the report from the spies in the palace, this Li Mingrui has proposed to the emperor to move south, are you really not optimistic that the emperor will move south?" Song Xiance said while helping Wang Feng clean up.
"Move south? Do you really think that the emperor will move south! The emperor is too good-looking, and these ministers of the Ming Dynasty will not bear the charge of losing the Beijing Division, I can tell you for sure that this strategy of moving south is absolutely not feasible!" Wang Feng turned his head and stared at Song Xiance.
"By the way, has the person sent to Jingshi arrived, and he must protect the safety of the princess. Wang Feng is now a little worried about Zhu Huimin, who is still stranded in the Beijing Division, as a descendant, of course Wang Feng knows that this Beijing Division is about to be captured, so he must rescue his woman before the Beijing Division falls.
"Don't worry, young marshal, I have personally arranged it, and now the princess's mansion is surrounded by our people, and the princess can be rescued at any time!" Of course, Song Xiance understood what this princess meant to his lord, so he personally arranged this matter from beginning to end.
"We have to speed up the transfer of the people of Jinzhou Mansion! There is not much time left for us!"
"If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from!" Wang Chengen shouted in a still sharp voice.
For a long time, the hall was still quiet, and there was no hint of someone wanting to report it, which made Chongzhen on the dragon chair anxious, and gave Chen Yan a look, but Chen Yan seemed to be deliberately pretending not to see, burying his head low, trying not to face Chongzhen's eyes.
"Chen Aiqing, I remember that you didn't tell me that you had something to do, and you can talk about it today!" Seeing that the hint was useless, Chongzhen simply asked by name.
