Chapter 182 Hunting Jurchen 2
"If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his life. Liaodong's plan has been decided, and you should remember to keep it secret and don't leak it. Otherwise, the edict is waiting for you. After removing the cups and plates, Zhu Youxiao said with a cold face, he didn't want his plan to spread all over Beijing the next day.
The slightly murderous words made several ministers frightened, feeling the unusual expression, they reminded themselves in their hearts, don't say that you leaked your mouth, but today came out of the killing coup, the style is a tough mess, a coup d'Γ©tat implicated fifty or sixty thousand people, more powerful than the founding of the country's Hongwu, he threatened with prison, no one dared to take it lightly.
"Ministers remember the hadith." Several ministers bowed their heads and saluted respectfully, indicating that they did not dare to slack off in the slightest and divulge secrets.
"Sun Aiqing needs to cooperate with my plan, so he can't take care of the restructuring of Hebei Province, these things will be handed over to the first assistant to supervise for the time being, as for the daily affairs, it will be responsible for several of your other zaifu, and if you don't make a decision, you will go to the palace to report." Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then assigned the next task.
Sun Chengzong was going to Liaodong, and such an amazing plan, only when he personally presided over it, Zhu Youxiao could rest assured, and only when the principals of Liaodong alternated with each other could they paralyze the Jurchens and implement this amazing strategy.
"Wechen obeys."
When several scholars heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and responded one after another. Subsequently, seeing that Zhu Youxiao had no other instructions, Sun Chengzong and several university scholars rushed out to carry out the handover of affairs.
After handing over to Li Ruhua, he left the Wenhua Palace. Looking at the plaque of the Dadu Governor's Mansion hanging in the Wuying Hall opposite, he sighed for a while, when today is really different, the ambition really surprised him.
It's crazy that today's amazing strategy can be adopted. However, the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it is now, and I am afraid that only such a crazy emperor can save it.
After shaking his head and shaking off his thoughts, he left the palace. If this strategy wants to be implemented, there is still a lot of detailed work to be worked out, and he really has no time to spare.
In the afternoon of the same day, there was a decree issued in the palace, Shenyang was lost, the emperor was furious, gave Shang Fang the sword, and ordered Sun Chengzong to be the governor of Liaodong, the governor of all military and political affairs in Liaodong, at the same time, there was a holy decree to Sun Chengzong, and no one knew what was written. However, Sun Chengzong himself didn't need to read it to know the meaning inside, arrested Xiong Tingbi, and escorted him to Beijing.
With the holy decree and the fifty brocade guards sent by the emperor, Sun Chengzong hurried out of the customs. After that, there were frequent troop movements, and countless four-wheeled carriages were dispatched from Chaoyangmen, along the wide and flat cement road, and kept galloping towards the port of Tianjin.
In the past, these four-wheeled carriages were afraid to cause a sensation, but now the Beijing division has become a huge construction site, the roads leading to the four directions are being built, a large number of idle laborers in Hebei and the Beijing division are used, and the various carriages that transport raw materials every day are countless, plus the foreign carriages that transport various specialties from the Beijing division, these transport armaments and materials are inconspicuous.
After the carriage, it was the change of defense between the Yulin Army and the Jingshi City Defense Army, and the Yulin Army that was replaced was lightly armed and rushed to Tianjin.

"What? Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person? In the Qianqing Palace, Li Ruhua asked in surprise, but without waiting for the emperor to answer, he shook his head again and again, "No, no, absolutely not!" β
Several other cabinet scholars were also full of disagreement, but when Shousuke spoke, they didn't say anything, but still expressed their attitude with an ugly face.
"I am not here to consult with you, but to inform you. This afternoon, I set off for Tianjin. After I left, I lied that I was seriously ill and could not take care of things, and the cabinet presided over the government to keep the empire running. Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed in military uniform, said in a tough tone, and after speaking, he didn't look at the reactions of several people, raised his red cloak, turned around and left.
"This ......" Li Ruhua opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he was tempted by the emperor's last words, this is the authority of the prison country, all in his own hands, although he still has to share with a few other people, but in the face of power, he still failed to adhere to his principles. The others looked at each other in the same way, and they all had excited looks in their eyes.
Li Ruhua looked at it, his face was blank, and he said solemnly, "Although Your Majesty entrusts me with the government, I can't do it on my own, so in the name of the first assistant of the cabinet, I will assign my own focus." Cui Nange used to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was responsible for the food and grass after His Majesty, Huang Xige was responsible for supervising the ministries to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, Wang Beige was responsible for daily affairs, and the old man was staring at the affairs of the two courts and Hebei. β
"Command." As soon as a few people gave up their hands, although some people in their hearts were still unwilling, they still received the order and began their duties.
However, Li Ruhua's words are not finished, "The old man is fulfilling the obligations of his colleagues, and reminds you that it is best not to change or distort the meaning of what His Majesty orders." With all that said, I hope you will be cautious. β
The few people who said this were shocked in their hearts, and they all woke up secretly, don't be in power for a while, so they will be arrogant and arrogant, "Thank you for the advice, I will wait for the province, and I will leave." As soon as the men gave up their hands, they went their separate ways.
Three days later.
"Kill!"
At this time, Liaoyang City was shouting to kill the sky, countless cloud ladders were set up at the head of the city, and countless soldiers dragging pigs' tails were climbing up. This is the most commonly used tactic in siege warfare, and it is also the most efficient and casualty tactic.
However, Nuer Hachi, who was watching the battle from the high ground in the distance, did not have a distressed expression, because these besiegers were all Han Chinese who had surrendered, and he drove them to consume the strength of the defenders. In other words, these people are traitors. At this time, although the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were not established, they had a servant army.
The purebred Jurchen army was only 60,000, which was simply not enough, and such a servant army naturally came into being.
"Great Khan, why don't you contact the spies in the city, respond inside and outside, and capture Liaoyang in one fell swoop?" The anxious Amin looked at the scorching battle situation and couldn't help but ask.
"This is the Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi personally stationed, different from Shenyang, it is Yuan Yingtai's scholar who guards the city, Xiong Barbarian's cunning You have been taught, if Nei Ying is not used at a critical moment, it will not work." Nuer Hachi explained lightly.
Listening to Nuer Hachi's words, Amin's face changed, he remembered the losses he had suffered at the hands of Xiong Tingbi for more than a year, and countless looting and attacks were blocked by the other party.
"Go on the offensive." With a wave of his bare hand, another group of Han servants was driven up and sacrificed their lives for the Jurchens to capture Liaoyang.
The fierce shouting and killing continued, Liaoyang had sixty or seventy thousand defenders, and in the face of the dense servant army, they could still deal with it calmly, without a trace of difficulty.
At this time, Liaodong passed through Xiong Tingbi, but ushered in a special visitor.
