Chapter 9 Dingbei Going
"This Yang He!" Chongzhen kept rubbing his head with his hands! The rebels who had just surrendered now have rekindled and raised the banner of rebellion again, which makes Chongzhen a headache!
As for whether to suppress or appease the rebellious people, Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, actually held their own opinions and attacked each other, and the two not only made trouble in the local area, but also made trouble with themselves! Chongzhen knew that this situation had to be dealt with, and his own heart was more biased towards suppression, after all, the cost of this appeasement was too large!
"Your Majesty, Lord Chen is waiting outside the palace!" Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice!
"Chen Xinjia!oh! I forgot about him!Tell him to come in!" Chongzhen was so busy that he almost forgot to summon Chen Xinjia!
Chen Xinjia walked in quickly with broken steps, and bowed down to Chongzhen for a while, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Get up! Chen Xinjia, how is the requisition of soldiers and horses from the six towns to go to Liaodong?" "I am extremely concerned about Chongzhen in Liaodong! Liaodong is the northern gate of the Beijing Division, and if Liaodong loses, the Beijing Division will be in danger!"
This morning......, Chen Xinjia received a letter from Yuan Chonghuan, in which Yuan Chonghuan clearly pointed out that except for Anqing Town and Ningyuan Town, the other four towns could be dispensed with, and the emperor also gritted his teeth, and the other five towns were fine, but Anqing Town alone was not allowed! This made Chen Xinjia, who was the secretary of the military department, embarrassed, and Chen Xinjia, who could not make up his mind, simply did not issue an order!
"Back to the emperor, minister...... The minister has not yet issued an order to requisition the six towns!" Chen Xinjia replied in a small voice that could almost only be heard by himself!
"What?" Chongzhen's eyebrows couldn't help but squeeze together, his face was obviously displeased, "Chen Xinjia, do you know that the soldiers are very fast! If you delay the war in Liaodong, will you take responsibility?"
"The minister should die, the minister should die!" Chen Xinjia had a hard time, so he could only kowtow desperately!
"Okay, okay, if you die, you can restore Liaodong, I would have killed you a long time ago!" Chongzhen waved his hand, he was already impatient with the ministers' hypocrisy! "I limit you to recruit soldiers and horses from six towns to Liaodong within 30 days, if you delay, you will be punished for the crime of bullying the king, okay, go down and prepare!" Chongzhen didn't want to say more, so he set a deadline for Chen Xinjia!
"Yes, yes!" Chen Xinjia kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves! In the cold season of December, Chen Xinjia felt that his heart was hot now! He said yes in his mouth, but Chen Xinjia had no intention of leaving! He kept contradicting whether to say it or not!
"Is there something wrong? Why don't you step down!" Chongzhen reviewed the chapter for a while, and saw that Chen Xinjia was still standing there, as if he had something to say!
"Your Majesty! The minister received a report from Lord Yuan today!" After holding it for a long time, Chen Xinjia decided that it would be better to say it! Otherwise, because this delayed the battle of Liaodong, even if he Chen Xinjia had three heads, it would not be enough to cut off!
"Just say what you want!" Chongzhen picked up a book and read it again!
"Yes, yes! Lord Yuan repeatedly asked for the requisition of Anqing Town in the Tang Newspaper! And was willing to exchange the other four towns for it!" After speaking, Chen Xinjia quickly glanced at Chongzhen's expression!
Chongzhen had just written a handful before he had time to accept it, and when he heard Chen Xinjia's words, the brush directly crossed a trace on the movement.
Chongzhen's heart was fluctuating like a river and a sea at this time! What he hated most in his life was that others wanted to blackmail him! Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't say it, but in his heart it was like a mirror, Yuan Chonghuan just saw that he wanted to restore Liaodong's weakness and blackmailed himself! He, Yuan Chonghuan, simply deserved to be killed!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" If Chongzhen scolded Chen Xinjia, Chen Xinjia's heart would be more relieved! But Chongzhen's gloomy face made Chen Xinjia scared, and he hurriedly looked at Wang Chengen next to Chongzhen!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen, who comprehended, also whispered on the side!
"Hmm!" Chongzhen reacted, and his face immediately returned to normal, "Okay, just follow the request of Grand Governor Yuan! Tell him that I will give him from Anqing Town, and I will also give him to the other four towns, and I will also give him Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town! This Mao Wenlong is a good hand at fighting water fights! I can meet all his requests, and I have only one request for him - to give me a beautiful victory, otherwise I will never forgive!"
"Eh!" Chen Xinjia didn't expect that the emperor would agree so happily and thoroughly, not only promised to Anqing Town and the other four towns, but also assigned Mao Wenlong, who had been entrenched on Hulu Island, to Yuan Chonghuan! This was really too unexpected for Chen Xinjia! "The minister understood! The minister must bring the emperor's words to Lord Yuan! Presumably, Lord Yuan will definitely swear to kill the enemy and serve the emperor after receiving this grace!"
"I hope so!" Compared with Chen Xinjia's confidence, Chongzhen seemed very calm. Perhaps the defeat of the Ming and Qing wars over the years made him both eager and afraid of victory!
Of course, Chen Xinjia saw the struggle in Chongzhen's heart: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and there are many people in the vast land! His Tartar is just a barbarian in the Northeast, although he has won several battles, but their country is weak and has few soldiers! My Ming will definitely win in the end!" Chen Xinjia is not only cheering up the emperor, but also cheering himself up, since he took up the post of the secretary of the military department, Chen Xinjia has always been trembling, for fear of making a mistake and losing his head! How he hopes that he can fight a beautiful battle in his office! is not only to promote himself, but also to give himself a long face, and now Chen Xinjia has pinned all his hopes on Yuan Chonghuan!
"Weichen retires!" Chen Xinjia turned around and was about to leave!
"Wait!, Wang Chengen, go and get my sword!" Chongzhen said, pointing to the sword hanging on the wall!
Wang Chengen walked over quickly, respectfully took it down, and held it in his hand!
"To Yuan Chonghuan!" Chongzhen pointed at Chen Xinjia and said, Wang Chengen hurriedly handed over the sword in his hand respectfully! Chen Xinjia carefully held it in his hand!
"Tell Yuan Chonghuan that I will give him the sword of Shang Fang, allow him to act cheaply, and control the officials!
"Yes! Yuan Chonghuan, the minister, thanked the emperor for his long'en, long live, long live, long live!" Chen Xinjia knelt down with his sword held high. "Let's go! Wang Chengen, tell Wang Fengzhen that I have promised him! Sun Chuanting will be promoted to the prefect of Xi'an! Tell him to hurry back to my troops and bring me troops to Liaodong!"
"Yes, the slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen hurriedly took the little eunuch down to deliver the order!
"Yuan Chonghuan! Wang Feng!" Chongzhen waved his pen and wrote down the six words of Douda, repeating them in his mouth! A few strange lights flashed in his eyes.
