Chapter 352: Arrest Yuan Chonghuan
"Passed the decree and ordered Liang Zhiyuan, the deputy envoy of the Shenyang Right Tun Supervision Army, to envoy to North Korea, and everything was in accordance with the practice of the pedestrians, and he was given a first-class official uniform to re-emphasize the right to speak."
The matter of Mao Wenlong and Jin Jingrui, let Liang Zhixiang, who was on the mission to North Korea this time, have a headache, Zhu Youxiao tilted his head sideways, and put Xiong Tingbi's recital aside weakly.
Commanded:
"If Liang Zhixiang asked for anything before going to North Korea, tell Wei Zhongxian that it will be as it is, and there is no need to send it to the Qianqing Palace."
Wang Chaofu is Wei Zhongxian's person, as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse said this, he naturally understood.
Not surprisingly, Liang Zhixiang, who went to North Korea this time, will definitely ask for something, it is all troublesome, and there is no need to bother this master.
Although there is an emperor town in Jingshi now www.biquwu.biz, there is nothing to do on the surface, but secretly, it has always been turbulent.
Moreover, recently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has frequently summoned the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who commands the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, to discuss matters, as if he is planning some big move.
Zhu Youxiao has more important things to do, and it is most reassuring to hand over such small things to Wei Zhongxian, and others can't do the effect they want.
Let's put it aside, North Korea will not send troops to help, that is a slap in the face of Daming.
Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao ordered to play Xiong Tingbi's "three-way joint attack" strategy, and the day after the intention was reached in Shenyang's Youtun Acropolis, Liang Zhiyuan's invitation was sent to the celebrant supervisor.
The content of the invitation is all about the requirements of the imperial court to strengthen the authority of the mission to Korea this time, and to determine the responsibilities, which is troublesome to do, but the reason is very simple.
As the envoy of the suzerain, Liang Zhiyuan's task is to urge North Korea to recruit troops from the Eight Provinces to respond to the war in Liaodong, so he must have the absolute right to speak in front of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
This requires a lot of things, such as the first-class official court clothes given by the Qin to determine.
Recently, the imperial court has also been analyzing the war in Liaodong on a daily basis.
Cui Chengxiu, with the officials of the Ministry of War, was discussing with Yousi the issue of the Dongjiang Army, Liaodong County's military salaries, and the distribution of new ordnance and armor.
In the past, there were also some problems with the imperial court.
For example, after the order was issued, the local officials waited and watched, so that they could not go up and down, and delay the war.
Now, Xiong Tingbi's Liaoshen Ming army has begun to engage with the Houjin army, and this battle almost determines the offensive and defensive situation in Liaodong in the next few years, and the Manchu Dynasty is very nervous.
On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao's edict ordered the DPRK to levy troops from the Eight Provinces and pour the strength of the whole country to help, and on the other hand, the Minister of Military Aircraft rode out of Beijing with Ti and supervised the sailors of Deng, Lai, and Tianjin to meet Mao Wenlong.
The military headquarters soon issued an order as well.
Shangshu Cui Chengxiu bribed a small eunuch under Wei Zhongxian to find out the tone of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then the ministry meeting made a final decision and issued an order for Yuan Chonghuan to lead 40,000 Ning Yuan troops into the river and threaten the northeast of Houjin.
In the current military department, although Zhu Youxiao rarely directly gives orders to them to do what to do, all orders are issued according to his wishes.
In the past, the incident between Wang Huazhen and Zhang Heming will never happen again.
In the three days after the order was issued, Yuan Chonghuan, the garrison of Ningyuan, was still standing and watching, refusing to march on the grounds that the general was outside and the king's order was not accepted.
The military department repeatedly issued orders to let him go north, but Yuan Chonghuan turned a deaf ear, and his arrogant attitude made Cui Chengxiu extremely angry.
The news of Yuan Chonghuan's continued disobedience was transmitted back to the military department again, and the entire military department was furious.
Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, considered that Yuan Chonghuan was Sun Chengzong's confidant, and Sun Chengzong was the emperor's teacher today, so he did not directly dispose of Yuan Chonghuan.
After deliberation, the order was issued the next day.
The order of the military department was quickly sent to Ningyuan City outside the Guan, and Cui Chengxiu knew the seriousness of the situation, although he did not punish Yuan Chonghuan, but stripped him of his command of Ningyuan's soldiers and horses.
According to the order of the Ministry of War, Zu Dashou was appointed as the chief military officer of the forward, and he was responsible for leading his troops to the north to support Xiong Tingbi.
The military headquarters was extremely strict in its wording in this order.
How strict is it?
Cui Chengxiu not only limited the number and duration of Ning Yuan's soldiers, but also strictly ordered Zu Dashou to immediately detain Yuan Chonghuan and return to Beijing as soon as he received the order.
"If there is disobedience, three days later, the chief officer of the forward will be replaced, and Zu Dashou will not be forgiven!"
This is the original sentence on the order of the Ministry of War, and Zu Dashou has no doubt about the authenticity of this sentence.
He is not Yuan Chonghuan, he has a relationship with Sun Chengzong, and if he beheaded himself, he could just shock Ning Yuan's military heart, and Cui Chengxiu had nothing to fear.
Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement, Ning Yuan is also a very important part.
Zu Dashou also understood that if he learned from Yuan Chonghuan to disobey his orders, the military department was likely to ask the emperor to deal with it, and at that time, the situation would expand, and the entire Ningyuan army would be punished extremely severely.
The biggest possibility is that their ancestral clan will suffer, and the entire Ningyuan army will be replaced and reshuffled.
Ning Yuan's generals here are no longer resisting the orders of the military department once or twice, which is intolerable for the imperial court and the military department.
If they resist the imperial court from top to bottom, then they need to replace the commanders in batches to guard against mutiny.
Choi Chengxiu had already prepared for the worst, that is, to order the arrest of Zu Dashou.
What is surprising is that as soon as the strict order was issued, Zu Dashou immediately ordered his former boss Yuan Chonghuan to be imprisoned, and led Wu Sangui and other subordinate generals to cross the Liao River and enter Anle Prefecture.
It's staggeringly fast.
The actions of Zu Dashou's 30,000 Ning Yuan army soon spread to the Houjin camp outside Shenyang, and Nurhachi immediately summoned Zhu Beile to discuss countermeasures.
For them, the current situation is not optimistic.
......
At three o'clock in the morning of April 18, the third year of the Apocalypse, the whole army of Houjin crossed the Pu River, and was only 30 miles away from Shenyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong.
The daylight gradually rose, illuminating the Eight Banners army that was galloping like a storm on the ground.
Nurha's red armor and eagle-like eyes looked at the important town of the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the horizon, and his heart was eager, brandishing his broadsword and shouting:
"Sons of the Eight Banners, tonight we will drink wine and eat meat in Shenyang City and enslave the Han people!"
"Drink wine and eat meat, enslave the Han people!!"
The soldiers of the Eight Banners brandished their swords and guns one after another, shouting wildly.
The refraction of the weapon is somewhat harsh.
At this time, a white-armored sentry rode back, dismounted and knelt down:
"Qi Yu Great Khan, all the Ming troops around the ten miles have been transferred back to the city, and Man Gui is leading 30,000 Ming troops to swear to defend the city!"
Nurhachi laughed, turned around and ordered Mang Gurtai and Turg, one of the four great beylers, to lead 30,000 horses to support Daishan from the flank and attack the city together.
Nurhachi's horse galloped forward, followed by his supposedly invincible Eight Banners Iron Horse, which swept across the plain like a raging wind.
Soon, they came to a place only two or three miles away from Shenyang and set up camp.
