It was the cold winter of the year, and Jiangnan was still like spring, but Gyeonggi suddenly had a heavy snowstorm on one day, and it lasted for several days, and a scribe wrote:

"Looking back at the world, I don't see Beijing and see Baimang."

to set off the scene.

On the same day, the Cabinet Ministers and the Ministers of Military Aircraft received a message:

"Recently, there has been a great snowstorm, and I think the same is true in Liaodi, so I am cautious, and I am so anxious that Qing and other people will send people to the general army and pacify the nine borders, and the officials such as the Liaodong Economic Strategy and the governor will warn them to take strict precautions to ensure that Gyeonggi is safe."

The so-called wind and snow warning is just a pretext for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, in order to express that he is in Nanjing, but he is very concerned about the war situation in Liaodong.

A few days ago, Mao Wenlongtang, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang in the middle of the court, reported that the thief chief Nurhachi heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse led the elite of the Yongwei battalion to patrol south, and he was overjoyed, and immediately led the Eight Banners army to come out and besiege Shenyang.

Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi immediately ordered Liaoshen martial law, raised the account in Liaoyang Jinglufu, summoned the generals to discuss, and the governor Hong Chengchou was also present.

Xiong Tingbi pressed his sword in his hand, stood majestically on the stage, and looked around at the generals:

"Shenyang is an important town in Liaozuo, the east and west have to rush, if this town falls, then Fengji and Liaoyang are in danger. Now, Shenyang has not been completely restored, but this battle must be left behind and cannot be abandoned. ”

He turned his words, looked at the people in the Governor Camp, and said in an unobstructive tone:

"The herald is full of Gui, to make the mistake of He Shixian again, to defend it wholeheartedly, and if the thief chieftain attacks, call him... Waiting for reinforcements, the reinforcements have not arrived, and they are not allowed to go out of the city. ”

As soon as the words fell, a pacesetter galloped out of Jingluofu, turned over his horse, and galloped to Shenyang.

Xiong Tingbi turned around and came to the map, drew a circle around Shenyang with his fingers, and then looked at Xue Laiyin, Cao Wenzhao and others, and said with his eyes:

"It's been more than two years, and the time has come, and this time I must fight with Nurhachi to break the net."

"Ordered Mao Wenlong, telling him not to be disturbed by the team, but to personally lead the Dongjiang Army to land, take Jinzhou first, and then go down to Fuzhou. This time, I want Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Yiju to be one after another! ”

"Tell him that if the thief chieftain comes back to help, the Dongjiang army can take it by itself."

As the words fell, the two pacesetters turned around and walked quickly in the same direction.

Not long after, a pacesetter hurried up and shouted:

"Except for Liaoshen, there are no reports anywhere. Quang Ninh Zhenfu, Ning Yuanwei commanded envoys, and the conduct of each fort was not allowed to Beijing. ”

"What do they want to do——!" Xiong Tingbi was furious, shook his sword, and shouted: "Your Majesty's southern tour, are they going to turn the sky upside down?" ”

Cao Wenzhao was not surprised, he sneered:

"Since Mao Wenlong's Tang newspaper at the end of last month, Guangning, Ningyuan to Jinzhou line, as if it had been discussed, none of the Tang newspapers reached Beijing."

"The Jianyu came to commit a big crime, and they didn't even say a word."

"Your Majesty at this time, I'm afraid that I don't even know whether Shenyang has fallen and what the situation of Liaoyang is!"

Xue Laiyin also said:

"On the front line of Guangning and Jinzhou, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan and others stayed behind, and Yuan Chonghuan was transferred back to Ningyuan by Sun Chengzong's official document after the first battle in Shenyang."

"These two have always looked down on Jinglu, and this time it should be their troublemaker."

Xiong Tingbi still had anger written on his face, he laughed, walked down the steps, and said:

"Yuan Chonghuan has some skills, but he has a son, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

"This governor originally thought that Sun Chengzong, in the name of the emperor, should be able to have some overall concept, this time it seems that this emperor is no different from Wang Huazhen!"

"Don't bother, go to Beijing to report to the pond, the situation in Liaoshen is very good, you can't give up halfway!"

When such a strange thing happened, the generals did not think about it, and all blamed the whole thing on Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, who had a dislike for Xiong Tingbi.

Even Xiong Tingbi himself was angry and expressed his disdain for the two.

These words naturally spread far and wide not long after.

......

In fact, since Jingshi received the report from Mao Wenlongtang, he immediately flew to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Zhu Youxiao had just left Fengyang at that time, and he was furious when he heard the report, and issued an edict for three days, asking the ministers who stayed in Beijing to discuss the method of guarding the imperial battle strategy and quickly reported back.

However, since Mao Wenlongtang reported, for two days in a row, none of the Liaodongtang newspapers reached Beijing, whether the two sides went to war or not, and whether Shenyang had fallen.

For these, the ministers in Beijing knew nothing.

The court meeting could not be carried out, so Zhu Youxiao hurriedly issued an edict to warn the civil and military officials in the important areas of Jiubian and Liaodong not to make trouble at this time.

At the same time, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Shandong, also received a secret order, asking him to put down the affairs at hand and immediately go to Liaodong to investigate the war situation.

In a few days, up and down the government and the opposition, the people were panicked, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang Tiqi everywhere were moved by the wind, and Pegasus went to Liaodong.

Cui Chengxiu wore a cloak and stood in the attic of the military department in the Forbidden City and looked at the whole city, not seeing any artistic conception in the poems, but eating a mouth full of wind and snow.

Wrapped tightly in the robe that Mrs. Today specially added for herself, Cui Chengxiu snorted coldly:

"Your Majesty has sent an edict to the Ministry of Soldiers, and you want us to discuss the rewards of Sun Chuanting and many generals of the Qin Army in his department, let's talk about it."

"Who is Sun Chuanting?"

"Right now, Jianyu is coming, I don't know how the battle situation in Liaoshen is, there is a mess in Beijing, how can I have the leisure to pay attention to the Qin army?"

Soon, some of the officials of the military department asked questions, which caused ridicule in the room.

To be honest, Cui Chengxiu didn't know much about this person, he only remembered that the "Qin Army" given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a team trained by Sun Chuanting in Yulin.

It seems that when he suppressed bandits, he made some military achievements.

But the world is big, and there are even more officers and soldiers in all parts of the court, why did this little-known Sun Chuanting get His Majesty's love?

Although the Suzhou Mutiny was a major event, everyone knew that it was not difficult to quell this mutiny at all.

For those soldiers now, mutiny is nothing more than a few possibilities.

or have been oppressed by the officials for a long time and rebel angrily.

In this case, the imperial court sent a big official down to appease him, kill the leader who caused the rebellion, and then disperse the officials and troops of the ministry to be stationed in other places.

Either because of various reasons such as the deduction of the officials and the lack of money in the imperial court, they did not get the military salary they relied on for a long time, and spontaneously formed a mutiny.

This kind of pacification is simpler, often only need to send someone to preach and appease, understand the reason, move the emotion, make appropriate threats, and then pay some military salaries, that is.

This Suzhou mutiny was the result of the incompetence of the Shangguan generals and the inability to control them, and the ambitious people took advantage of the chaos to seize power, gathered the rebellious soldiers, and asked the court for conditions.

Although somewhat special, it's not tricky.

Cui Chengxiu couldn't understand what Sun Chuanting had done, and he could do it by another person, why he deliberately issued an edict and focused on taking care of him.

However, Choi Chengxiu has always had a characteristic.

It's one thing to see clearly and not understand, but it's another thing to try your best to complete the task assigned by the emperor.

Besides, it is not clear what Liaodong is like now, and Sun Chuanting really can't waste too much time on this matter.

"In that case, the headquarters has an idea for your colleagues' reference."

"Sun Chuanting quelled the rebellion in Suzhou, made a combination of achievements, and was promoted to the chief soldier of the Shanhaiguan Regiment Training, and the deputy general of the former association of Guangning Zhongqian, how about it?"

Cui Chengxiu's suggestion is actually very pertinent.

It stands to reason that Sun Chuanting should not directly achieve the position of chief soldier, such a fast promotion speed, judging from his current merits, it is obviously difficult to convince the public.

But this kid is a more optimistic candidate for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he can't give it too low, and he has to have a chance to show his talents, what should I do?

The position of the chief soldier of the regimental training is just right for him.

At present, where there is war in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Penghu Fort in the south, which is still besieging the Dutch, there is Liaodong left.

The battle of Penghu has actually been won a great victory, the Dutch are fighting trapped beasts in the fortress, and sooner or later they will open the door and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Let Sun Chuanting go to Taipingzhou County to continue to suppress bandits, which is obviously a condescension.

Therefore, Cui Chengxiu felt that the only place that could satisfy the emperor's wishes and let him show his talents might be Liaodong.

The general training of the Shanhaiguan regiment is that the imperial court found that there was a shortage of soldiers in Shanhaiguan, and it was temporarily added in the second year of the Apocalypse.

The regimental training of the general army is different from the regular selection of the general soldier, and he has the name of the general soldier, but in fact, he is a local militia leader, recruiting and training soldiers for the imperial court, and has no real power.

The deputy general of the former assistant of the Central Institute of Guangning can just give Sun Chuanting a little real power to command the army of the local guard.

This starting point is neither high nor low, and the emperor should be satisfied.

Cui Chengxiu has been in a bad mood by the war in Liaodong recently, no matter how many people are sent to investigate, there is no news at all, and the forts and cities along the Ningjin Road are all very quiet.

In the Liaoshen area, hundreds of thousands of troops are in full swing, but the Beijing Division, as the center, is kept in the dark and has no news at all.

Since Wang Huazhen and Zhang Heming colluded with each other and organized a large-scale counterattack in Guangning, this incident is also the first time.
