Chapter Forty-Nine: Madness
Under such circumstances, how dare Chen Hong snub Xu Guangqi? He hurriedly said, "Lord Xu is polite. ”
The two men entered the palace one after the other.
Chen Hong stood on the side of his emperor and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu is here." ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then glanced at Xu Guangqi.
At this time, Xu Guangqi had already fallen on the ground and saluted: "Minister Xu Guangqi to see Your Majesty." ”
"Xu Aiqing, excuse me!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
When Xu Guangqi stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I summoned Aiqing today because I saw Aiqing's resignation. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao picked up a question book and shook it: "It's my fault, I ignored Aiqing." ”
Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why did Your Majesty say this? The minister is really not very well, and he wants to return to his hometown to recuperate. ”
Smiled at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "Xu Aiqing, I know that you have grievances, but the affairs of the court are complicated, and I have a lot of health, so I neglected Aiqing." ”
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Guangqi felt a little creepy.
You must know that he Xu Guangqi is not a big official at all, nor is he an important minister, His Majesty is so gentle and comforting, which makes Xu Guangqi always feel that something bad has happened.
Nothing to be courteous or a thief, it may not be appropriate to describe the emperor in this way, then you must ask for something from others.
can make the emperor bow to others, this thing is afraid that it will not be easy to do. Xu Guangqi beat the drum in his heart, and he was more cautious.
"Aiqing's heart, I know it in my heart. The side affairs are restless, the mountains and rivers are not quiet, and I know Aiqing's heart to serve the country. ”
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Since you want to train the army, then practice boldly, and I support Aiqing." I will make an order in a moment, and I will crown Aiqing as the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the squire of the military department, and the governor of Jingying Rongzheng. ”
This official position is actually very clear, the first two are all titles, and the governor of Jingying Rongzheng is the most critical position.
Of course, although it is an additional title, it is also a must. If it really comes to the point where it is necessary, she will not be a plus.
Xu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this, and he directly rose so much? The left deputy of the Imperial Palace? The Squire of the Army? Governor Jingying Rongzheng?
It stands to reason that being promoted is a good thing, but suddenly from an official who no one wants to see and no one looks down on, to such a high position, Xu Guangqi's heart is really a little drumming.
I'm not His Majesty's confidant! The official road in these years has not been smooth, and the current official position is the young Zhan Shi of the James Mansion and the imperial history of Henan Province.
"Panic! The minister is not in good health, and he is afraid that he will lose the grace of God. Xu Guangqi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and continued: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I know Aiqing's ability very well. I have already prepared a mansion for Aiqing in the capital, and after Aiqing returns, there will be an imperial doctor to treat Aiqing. The will will be given soon, Aiqing, don't let me down! ”
"Commandment." Although Xu Guangqi was still nervous in his heart, he knew that he couldn't push it out.
What's more, I don't want to leave in my heart and make contributions to the country, this is also what I want to do, otherwise I wouldn't have trained in Tongzhou. It's just that now that I've entered the Beijing camp, I don't know if I have the opportunity to train the troops.
Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi had mixed feelings in his heart. But he also understands that he can't help himself now.
Seeing Xu Guangqi leave, Zhu Youxiao sat down a little helplessly.
He originally wanted to pull Xu Guangqi into Wei Zhongxian's party, at least nominally.
But after seeing Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao hesitated, this approach was inappropriate.
Xu Guangqi is a rare person without party affiliation, so why don't you support him? Since this is the case, he can't classify Xu Guangqi as a eunuch.
You must know that you can't rely on Wei Zhongxian forever, and you have to start cultivating new people!
While Zhu Youxiao was pondering how to train newcomers, the Liaodong side finally started a war!
Nurhachi ordered an attack on Shenyang.
The Mongols, who were the vanguard of cannon fodder, rushed towards the wall of Shenyang City with a ladder, and the eight banners of Nurhachi behind them were also pressed up.
Xiong Tingbi stood on top of the city and looked down expressionlessly.
Beneath the walls of the city were moats, all dug by the Mongols. If the Jurchens wanted to rush to the city, they had to pass through those trenches first. The easiest way to do this is, of course, to set up a ladder, put it on both sides of the trench, and then climb over it.
"Tell the archers and artillerymen to fire arrows and cannons as soon as Jiannu enters the range of the trench." Xiong Tingbi said to Li Rongguang beside him.
Soon the vanguard rushed to the front of the trench, and the ladder was directly hit.
At this time, the sound of artillery and feather arrows breaking through the air also sounded on the head of Shenyang City.
The iron ball of the artillery smashed directly into the Mongols, and the impact force of the forward roll was basically useless to whoever hit it.
At the same time, there were flowering bombs, which exploded directly in the Mongol formation.
The feather arrow also shot down as if it didn't cost money, because it was a throw, basically as long as it was shot, it would be shot through the heart.
Although there are also feathered arrows from under the castle, the gap between upward and downward shooting is too great.
At the rear of the battle array, Nurhachi looked at this scene with an ugly face, although these Mongols were not very good, but the Ming army was well prepared.
In the face of such feathered arrows and artillery, let alone attacking the city, even through these trenches, it is not a simple matter.
What's more, the Ming army also dug two trenches in a frenzy!
Thinking that it was the Mongolian who he sent to dig it up, Nurhachi was more like eating a fly, and his expression was ugly.
"Father Khan, the scouts who went to Liaoyang have returned." Dai Shan came to Nurhachi's side and said cautiously: "Liaoyang City is also like Shenyang City, digging a trench and filling it with water. ”
Nurhachi glanced at Daizen, then nodded.
In fact, he had already thought that Shenyang was like this, and Liaoyang would be fine? This bear barbarian actually made a turtle with a shrunken head, and it was really unspeakable.
Thinking of this, the expression on Nurhachi's face became even more gloomy.
If Liaoyang relaxes, he can make a surprise attack on Liaoyang, at least transfer the Ming army in Shenyang City, and then make an ambush on the way.
In Nurhachi's opinion, as long as the Ming army dares to come out, he will definitely be able to defeat Xiong Tingbi and defeat the Ming army. But looking at the current situation, the Ming army is destined not to come out.
"Father Khan, why don't you have three missing one?" Dai Shan gave Nurhachi an idea, maybe the lack of one of the three can make Xiong Tingbi escape? Or the other generals in the city fled.
Once a general escapes, the Ming army will be in chaos, and it will be annihilated at that time. As long as the Ming army is out of the city, everything will be easy.
Dai Shan felt that he could give it a try.
