The deterioration of the situation in the Gyeonggi area made Chongzhen very angry, and he issued several decrees to reprimand Zhang Fengyi within half a month.

Zhang Fengyi's head was as big as a fight, since the first battle of Tianjin Wei, the reinforcements of the Nine Roads were afraid of the Qing like a tiger, and they did not dare to engage the Qing army at all, so they watched the Qing army loot everywhere nearby.

When the Qing army occupied Dingxing, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, moved far to Yi County, the Qing army attacked Dacheng, Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, watched in Bazhou, and the Qing army garrisoned Pinggu.

The Jiannu generals saw through the essence of the Ming army's cowardice and fear of war, so they were at ease and bold in the territory of Beizhili, and acted as they pleased, as if they were in a no-man's land.

Abatai, who was stationed in Pinggu, smiled coldly after hearing that the Ming Jingshi was holding a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, and sent 6,000 men and horses to kill them on the spot, attacking Shunyi, which was only fifty miles away from the Beijing division.

Shangguanxin, the magistrate of Shunyi County, and the guerrilla general ruled the country and commanded Su Shiyu to resist the city and resist the onslaught of the Qing army for several days.

After the news of the siege of Shunyi reached the Tongzhou camp, Zhang Fengyi was so anxious that he hurriedly sent Zhou Yuji, a guerrilla general in the Beijing camp, to lead the army to rescue.

Zhou Yuji didn't say a word, led the 3,000 Zhou Zi battalion to Shunyi in the starry night, took advantage of the Eight Banners Army to attack the city from behind the formation, and fought fiercely with the 6,000 Eight Banners Army under the city for a day, losing more than half of his own losses and killing 3,000 enemies.

The Qing army attacking Huairou hurriedly rescued the Qing army attacking Shunyi, Zhou Yuji was defeated, and had no choice but to lead the remnants to retreat, Shunyi City was finally captured, the city fell, the county Shangguanxun, the guerrilla general ruled the country, all commanded Su Shiyu, and instructed Chen Suoyun to kill several people in battle, and the people's wealth was captured.

The location of Shunyi City is very important, the fall of the Beijing Division is extremely turbulent, due to the continuous impeachment of the officials, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, can not be exempted from the crime, so he takes rhubarb medicine every day to die.

At the court meeting, Zhu Cihong asked for orders to lead the troops to recover Shunyi, and those "loyal ministers" who took refuge in Zhu Cihong also responded after a little hesitation and supported Zhu Cihong.

Wen Tiren objected on the spot, and proposed that Huang Degong lead the Yongwei battalion to send troops, which was quite a bit of a co-optation of Huang Degong and other Yongwei battalion generals.

Huang Degong, who was standing in the military general's squad as the deputy commander-in-chief, grinned and said: "Thank you Lord Shoufu for your love, but the first two battles of the Yongwei Battalion were personally commanded by the crown prince, and the tactics are also the latest tactics. ”

Huang Degong's face-to-face refusal made Wen Tiren very embarrassed, and he snorted lightly and then stopped talking.

Hearing Huang Degong say this, Chongzhen, who originally had this kind of thought, was also helpless, and at the same time, he already knew in his heart that this Yongwei camp was taken away by the prince.

At this time, Yang Tinglin proposed: "Your Majesty, Shunyi is only half a day's journey away from Beijing, and it is best for Your Majesty to drive in person." ”

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly exploded, and a bold minister said bluntly: Can the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still drive the expedition in person? Forgot about the change in the Civil Fort?

Yang Tinglin retorted: "In the twelfth year of Zhengde, tens of thousands of Mongolian troops invaded the border passes, and Emperor Wuzong Zhengde personally led tens of thousands of troops to meet the enemy. ”

"Emperor Wuzong ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, and killed one enemy with his own hands, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, and finally there was a great victory in Yingzhou, Your Majesty should follow Emperor Wuzong's example and drive the expedition in person!"

Chongzhen was a little moved when he heard him say this, but thinking about the things in Jingying, forget it, lest he build a civil fort again, then his life will be ruined.

Seeing Chongzhen's embarrassed face, the ministers pointed at themselves and scolded, Yang Tinglin did not panic, and said without hurry: "Your Majesty's imperial expedition is the best, but Your Majesty's heart is about the society and needs to be in the middle of the command, so the minister suggested that the crown prince go on the expedition instead of His Majesty." ”

Good guy, this Yang Tinglin is quite a chicken thief, he wants the crown prince to go on the expedition for a long time, and the courtiers have secretly scolded Yang Tinglin for his shamelessness.

Chongzhen was also slightly angry in his heart, but he knew the rhythm of this group of Wenchen, so he didn't anger Yang Tinglin, he looked at Wen Tiren and wanted to hear the idea of this old thing.

Wen Tiren was just about to speak, only to see Zhu Cihong take the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty Father, the sons suggested that the old Wen Pavilion should be allowed to lead the army to fight, and the old Wen Pavilion is also the first assistant of the cabinet, the head of the ministers, with him on the front line to supervise the division, I believe that the reinforcements of the Nine Routes will definitely break the slaves and thieves!" ”

When Wen Tiren heard this, his legs trembled with fright, go to the front line? Look for death! Zhang Fengyi, as the eldest brother of the military department, can't command the reinforcements of the Nine Routes, and now he is still taking big medicine at home and waiting for death, let himself go? What's the difference with giving away heads?

Zhu Cihong saw that Wen Tiren's forehead was faintly sweating, and continued: "If Elder Wen Ge is unwilling, he can select another highly respected cabinet minister from the cabinet to supervise the teacher. ”

Saying that, Zhu Cihong looked at several cabinet ministers again, and several cabinet elders were looked at by him, and they all involuntarily shrunk their necks and moved their steps back.

Zhu Cihong looked at the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate again, and said: "If there is no one in the cabinet, you can also pick an imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yuan Chonghuan was just a small six-grade director of the military department, since he went to Liaodong, he still made a great victory in Ningyuan, I am full of talents, who is not available?" ”

When it comes to Yuan Chonghuan, everyone's faces are not very good-looking, especially Emperor Chongzhen and Hou Sui.

At the beginning, it was Hou Sui who promoted Yuan Chonghuan to the head of the military department, Hou Sui had a vicious vision and knew countless people, not only Yuan Chonghuan, but also Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu, all of whom were recommended by him.

At this time, there was a terrible silence in the whole court, and these ministers could beep vigorously during the court meeting on weekdays, but when they really wanted to send people to the front line to serve as supervisors, these people were instigated again.

Zhu Cihong's meaning is also very clear, if you can do it, you can go up, if it doesn't work, don't beep, go cool!

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Chongzhen had no choice but to say: "The prince went out to kill more than 10,000 slaves and thieves last month, and he knows the military affairs well. ”

Chongzhen finally decided to ask Zhu Cihong to lead the Yongwei Battalion to the battle, and in this situation, there is no way to send the Yongwei Battalion.

As soon as the ministers heard this, their hearts and minds have come to this point, what else can we say? Is it difficult to rush to give away someone's head? This time, no one objected to the unprecedented situation of the ministers, and they all echoed it.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that his ministers were like this, sighed secretly, and said: "Passing on my will, the crown prince Zhu Cihong will take the personal expedition for me, and use the Son of Heaven to personally recruit the etiquette, give the Son of Heaven a guard of honor, the sword of Shangfang, and accompany the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion, and control all the armies of Beizhili, and Cao Huachun is the supervising army.

The corpse of Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, was vegetarian, causing the slaves and thieves to commit crimes in Jinggi from Xuanfu and burn Deling, and now he is pursuing the crime of dereliction of duty, and immediately escorted him to Beijing, and then convicted him. ”

Zhu Cihong immediately stepped forward to receive the order of thanks, and at the same time was slightly surprised in his heart, so that the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion accompanied each other, this is really the grade of the Son of Heaven's expedition, when Emperor Chengzu went north to Mobei, he took the five military battalions, the Shenji Battalion and the three thousand battalions (the predecessor of the Shenshu Battalion).

It seems that Emperor Lao Tzu is still more worried about his own life, but letting Cao Huachun be the supervisor is obviously a defense.
