Chapter 370: The military department has to work overtime tonight
Zhu Youxiao, who heard the news, was petting the cat in the cat pavilion at the time, and he was very happy.
Hearing that it was Xiong Tingbi's urgent report, Zhu Youxiao directly hugged his favorite blue cat and returned to Xinuan Pavilion, leaving the mess inside to the palace people to clean up.
You come here to shovel or something, I am only responsible for masturbating, Zhu Youxiao has always known that he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private.
Soon, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and others were also summoned, with a smile on their faces.
Everyone was gifted and sat under the throne of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the Xinuan Pavilion.
Zhu Youxiao smiled rather strangely and said: "Xiong Tingbi, this guy, I thought at that time that the people who could make the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty compete for impeachment must have the real ability to be angry with these people, and now it seems that it is really true!" ”
Although Cui Chengxiu is in charge of the military department, compared with the previous Zhang Heming, he is like a military general who came out of the battlefield, with a very strong figure, and his speech and demeanor are not as delicate as those of a civilian official.
Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and others naturally laughed, in fact, they were like mirrors in their hearts, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was praising Xiong Tingbi on the surface, but in fact, he was boasting about himself, saying that it was right to support Xiong Tingbi against public opinion back then.
Indeed, such a great victory under Liaoyang City, almost the Zhenghuang Banner of Jiannu was directly abolished in the first battle, and it almost didn't cut off Amin's dog head and sacrifice it to the Beijing Division, which is not enough for His Majesty's stinky fart?
Speaking of which, Xiong Tingbi's style of play is really a bit dangerous.
Don't say Jiannu, this kind of play reported to the Beijing division in advance, and I am afraid that it will not even pass the public opinion of the military department, so Cui Chengxiu is very glad that he did not follow Zhang Heming's old path.
If the military department intervened in the war in Liaoyang, there would be no victory, but I am afraid that there would be the crime of falling.
Choi Chengxiu knows very well that he knows a little about military affairs, and may not even be as good as Wang Huazhen, but he also knows his position very well.
Why was he promoted to be in charge of the military department?
It's not because I'm familiar with military affairs, it's because I'm obedient and knows when to delegate power and when to intervene.
For example, Cui Chengxiu made a decisive decision to forcibly remove Yuan Chonghuan from power in the name of the Ministry of War, escorted him back to Beijing, and took charge of Ning Yuan's soldiers on behalf of Zu Dashou.
Zhu Youxiao later learned that not only did he not get angry, but instead rewarded him.
and Cui Chengxiu made a name for himself on behalf of the Ministry of War in advance, saying that the war in Liaoshen was all decided by Xiong Tingbi alone, and the Ministry of War would no longer interfere.
Zhu Youxiao also understands that this is not because Cui Chengxiu understands the righteousness, but because he knows how to advance and retreat.
The military department did not intervene in Liaoshen during the war, not only to avoid the implication of guilt after the fall, but also to understand that he would add to the chaos.
Cui Chengxiu is a flattering person who is on the throne of Wei Zhongxian, but he is very smart.
Zhu Youxiao put him in the military department temporarily, and when there is a better candidate in the future, the military department will be replaced by someone else, but Cui Chengxiu will always be by his side.
As an emperor, I like such a courtier the most.
When it comes to it now, many people still have lingering palpitations.
It was hard to defend the city, Xiong Tingbi actually dared to take out all of them, and lay in ambush on all sides outside the city, how strong courage and courage it would take.
What if the whole army comes?
What if Amin is smart this time, but he won't be fooled?
Wouldn't the Liaoshen war situation collapse completely...
Having said that, the great victory under Liaoyang City really gave a big surprise to the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Beijing.
Not long ago, there were still discussions here, and the mainstream view was that if you want to win this time, you can only wait for Zhu Xieyuan's reinforcements and Mao Wenlong's copy, and this is still a smooth situation.
No one thought that Xiong Tingbi would defeat the strong with the weak before the reinforcements arrived, and fought a real big victory!
Cui Chengxiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the most elite Zhenghuang Banner is lost under Liaoyang City, and this time the slave chieftain is afraid that there are only two choices, either the dog jumps over the wall and storms Liaoyang, or withdraws his troops and negotiates peace with the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, the joy on his face gradually calmed down, and he was silent in thought.
Liaoyang garrison 60,000, the city is strong and deep, after Xiong Tingbi's personal rectification, the soldiers are brave, there is no shortage of silver, and the grain is enough for the whole city for more than a year.
The firearms of the Liaoyang defenders are also complete, and there are Tianjin and Denglai sailors in the south echoing each other, and they are not afraid of Jiannu attacking the city.
Unless the slave chiefs played with their lives and did not hesitate to kill the Jurchens in large numbers, they would also capture Liaoyang, otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiannu to capture Liaoyang.
Nurhachi is known as an army of 200,000, and Zhu Youxiao understands in his heart that most of these troops are cannon fodder with low combat effectiveness. During the third year of the Apocalypse, it is impossible for the elite of the Eight Banners to reach 100,000.
When the true strength and quality of the Eight Banners Army reached its peak, it was when Huang Taiji was in power, and after Dolgon became an adult, these two people were even more formidable opponents than Nurhachi.
This time, a batch of people were buried under Liaoyang City, even if Nurhachi really played with his life and personally led the troops to attack, and fought him to the bottom, he might not be able to break through Liaoyang.
What's more, Nurhachi still needs enough troops to maintain the stability of the area that Houjin is now occupying, deter Horqin and North Korea, and also need the Eight Banners Army not to lose too much.
This victory under the city of Liaoyang was unexpected.
Xiong Tingbi really listened to the six directions, looked at all directions, and judged in advance Nurhachi's intention to take advantage of the wind and sand to go south, and used Amin's mentality as the weakness of the Eight Banners Army to kill him with one blow.
But on the board of strength, Houjin still occupies an absolute advantage.
Zhu Youxiao put one hand on the cat, but his thoughts had already drifted to the land of Liaodong thousands of miles away.
After a long time, Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses and said in a deep voice:
"Cui Aiqing, when you go back today, you will call the ministry to discuss the method. This great victory was not easy to come by, and we cannot waste the fighters that the frontier soldiers fought hard to come back! ”
......
Soon, the second and third urgent reports were sent to Beijing overnight.
The Ministry of War was in the process of meeting the Ministry when it received the emergency report, and the continuous emergency reports caused the Ministry to be extended until the moon hung in the middle of the night, and the hall of the Ministry of War was still brightly lit.
Officials sat around a sand table in the middle of the lobby, each thinking about what to do.
With the arrival of the second and third urgent reports, all the officers of the military department also changed their usual style of slowness and panic, and they became anxious.
These two urgent reports, Cui Chengxiu also quickly forwarded them to the palace, different from the previous one, this time, the reaction of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is said to be a bit big.
According to the sign in the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was "furious" after reading the third urgent report, and immediately decided to convene Jiuqing Kedao early tomorrow morning to hold an emergency court meeting.
In this case, it is urgent for the Ministry of War to take an opinion and submit it to the emperor for a decision at the court meeting the next day.
The emperor is actually going to court!
Officials in the DPRK all know that since the succession of this lord, the court meetings have been decreasing year by year, and now it has simply become no major event.
Cui Chengxiu cleared her throat, looked around the hall, and said lightly:
"You all sent someone back to your house to inform you that you won't be able to go back tonight until the end of tomorrow morning's court meeting."
"Your Majesty's meaning is to ask the Ministry of War to come out with a way as soon as possible, and the slave chieftains want to negotiate peace, whether this is 'harmony' or 'discord'..., you can speak freely!"
