But as soon as these words came out, he was immediately dissuaded by him, thinking that he should not move around at will! Seeing that he refused to agree, Princess Ming Kunxing used a nirvana, she raised her hand and deliberately pretended to cry, which frightened Captain Mingqi and hurriedly comforted: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Youlan next to him pretended to be a good person and told him: "Now you have also seen it, Her Royal Highness the princess was cried by your kindness, if she goes to your majesty to complain, do you think what the consequences will be?" Besides, Her Royal Highness just wants to walk around the imperial city, can't you agree to this request? ”

In desperation, the Ming Cavalry Lieutenant, who was doing ideological work, decided to take the two of them across the East Palace and out of the triple gate to play outside, but they couldn't cross the river, because the opposite side of the river was near the Wenhua Palace.

The next day, in the main hall of the Household Department in the capital, the Ming Household Department Shangshu: Hou Sui, was looking at the account books, and calculated that the military expenditure of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division last month was about 650,000 taels of silver, the total expenditure of 8.5 million taels of silver allocated to the feudal kings in various places, and the expenditure of various departments in the capital was about 170,000 taels ......of gold.

He calculated that the expenses of the subordinates of the Sun Inspector in the area of the Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division were about 300,000 taels of silver, not counting the troops and salaries of the seven Chengxuan Divisions in charge of the Ming Household Department, which made the more the Ming Household Department Shangshu calculated, the more heartbroken the silver of the Household Department, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart, that is, to urge the Sun Inspector to go out of the customs to meet the enemy as soon as possible, so that not only could he reduce part of the expenses, but also eliminate the Liukou as soon as possible and stabilize the income of the Central Plains, which is a double win.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to immediately go to tell His Majesty about this, and then changed the headband of the small Duke flower path embroidered with a three-inch brocade rooster (official uniform) and went to the Wenhua Palace, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor set up a target two hundred steps outside the hall with a lightning bolt, only to see him press the fire and look into the distance and begin to close his left eye, and in an instant he heard (bang) a white gunpowder smoke shot over, and saw the eunuch of the Ming Rite Supervisor Bingbi: Wang Chengen, and shouted, "Long live the Lord is really a good gun!" ”

However, Ming Yizong didn't like to be empty, so he asked the eunuch of Ming Si to go over and see if he hit the bull's-eye? At this time, the Ming Hubu Shangshu took the opportunity to come up and clap his hands and praise, "Okay, good, Your Majesty is really mighty!" There is really a bit of Emperor Chengzuwen's domineering. ”

But Ming Yizong said solemnly: "Aiqing, don't slap my ass, I just want to know how powerful the border army's firearms are today?" By the way, what do you have to say about Aiqing's here? The secretary of the Ming household department replied with courage: "Your Majesty, please let Inspector Sun quickly go out to meet the enemy, so as to reduce the expenses of the household department and ensure that the treasury can be sufficient!" ”

Indeed, in recent years, the treasury and silver are particularly scarce, so Ming Yizong readily agreed, and ordered the Ming pedestrian division to the right liner: Cui Jinqian, with the edict to Shaanxi Cheng Xuan Zheng Department summoned, September 24 Emperor decree to convey Tongguan Wei when the Ming Military Department Shangshu and Seven Division Supervisor: Sun Chuanting, had to force out of the customs, in Xi'an Mansion Guandi Temple gathered Xi'an Mansion Seven Guards and horses and Tongguan Guard, Yulin Guard, Qinzhou Guard, Guyuan Guard and other places soldiers and horses began to swear.

For a while, the soldiers of the entire Tongguan Wei territory quickly ran to assemble, Wu Junzhen heard the sound of the horn and also went out of the camp and Ma Wei to line up, it took half a ring of time for the generals to gather inside and outside the Guandi Temple to listen to the fate of Inspector Sun, at this moment standing on the platform of the Guandi Temple Inspector Sun asked the general soldiers of the Mingtong Guanwei to check the number of soldiers and horses.

At the same time, he also sent a herald to inform Sichuan Cheng Xuan Zheng Division, Henan Cheng Xuan Zheng Division, Hu Guang Cheng Xuan Zheng Division and other places of the Ming army to besiege Liukou and prepare to come to a big siege, in order to go out smoothly Sun Inspector also specially invited two wizards to recite a spell, and bought three cows, three sheep, and three chickens from the local people, as a tribute to the sacrifice to bring the sacrifice flag in the hope of being able to return triumphantly, after the flag sacrifice ceremony, Sun Inspector led the Ming Aid Suppression General Army: Bai Guangen, Ming Tong Guan Wei General Soldier: Gao Jie, Ming Lintao General Soldier: Niu Chenghu, Ming Qinzhou Guard General Soldiers: Zuo Xian, Ming Gu Yuan Guard General Soldiers: Zheng Jiadong, Ming Yulin Guard General Soldiers: Wang Ding, and other generals led 100,000 soldiers and horses to the east out of Tongguan Guard.

Walking in front is the four generals of the Qin family under the account of Inspector Sun, next to the rest of the general soldiers and generals such as the commander of the guard, the first row behind the team is the Yulin Wei Qin Army iron cavalry and the cavalry of the local guard, the second row is all kinds of Ming army musketeers, the third row is the Ming army infantry (sword and archers), the fourth row is pushing all kinds of light artillery and side vans, and the last row of teams is the logistics troops that pull and transport materials.

Wu Youke, who was on the suspension bridge outside the city gate, watched the rows of troops set off, and couldn't help but sigh: "Inspector Sun is on this expedition, and I don't know when he will return?" Will you be able to win? Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, hey! The old man will be sent here! ”

At this moment, Wu Junzhen in the team was marching, and Ma Wei stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wu, what do you think are the chances of us winning this expedition?" Hearing this, Wu Junzhen felt that there was a great chance, but Ma Wei didn't think so, after all, he knew the history of the Ming Dynasty and was familiar with the tricks used by the Liukou! Therefore, he thinks that he must always remind Inspector Sun that he can do it, otherwise it will be easy to be defeated.

On the other side, the new Shun king: Li Zicheng, was shocked when he learned that Shaanxi Cheng announced the news that the Ming army of the political division was out of the customs, and he immediately issued an order to let the Shun army in the area under his jurisdiction strengthen the vigilance, and then summoned the generals of the Shun army to come to Xiangjing City to discuss countermeasures, and the Shun army Langzhong: Wang Jiazhu, Shun army Xiangjing Weizuo Weiwu general: Gao Yigong, Shun army Yangwu Wei Guoyi general: Bai Wang, have put forward "King Qiyu, at present, Sun Chuanting is mobilizing all kinds of troops to encircle and suppress us, according to my opinion, Xiangjing will definitely not be able to be saved!" The only way to go north is to lead the army. ”

But King Xinshun, who didn't know the truth, asked, "Oh, do you really want to lead the army north?" If he unites Shanxi Chengxuan Political Division and the Ming army in Daning Dusi and other places, then isn't Lone dead without a place to be buried? "But Shunjun Zuofu: Niu Jinxing, but he doesn't think so, he thinks that Henan Chengxuan has a Shunjun Nanyang defense envoy: Wu Dayan, who is in charge of Nanyang Mansion, and Shunjun Runing Defense Envoy: Jin Youzhang, who is in charge of Runing Mansion, and so on, there is no need to be afraid of Daming if there are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses hoarded in these places.

So King Xinshun decided to lead the main force of the Shun army north to Henan Chengxuan Zhengsi, but due to the large-scale movement of the army caused the base camp to be empty, coupled with the special lack of grain and grass in the territory of Henan Chengxuan Zhengsi, which made King Xinshun think that he could use this method to lure the troops of Sun Governor's division over, after all, the battle line was too long, not only the Shun army lacked food, but even the Ming army troops were particularly short of food, and Xinshun Wang adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, both; Disperse the troops to attack the Ming army, so that the Ming army cannot find their main force, and then station the main force in the area south of Jiaxian, leaving the logistics problem to the Ming army who has traveled a long distance, that is, waiting for the Ming army's grain transport troops to follow the main force of the Ming army to find them, take the opportunity to sneak attack and seize the grain.

On September 28, the main force of Shaanxi Chengxuan's political division, the Ming army, marched eastward along the official road to pursue the Liukou, attacked the local Liukou garrison, and regained the capital of Henan Prefecture, Luoyang County (because of avoiding the name of Mingguangzong, Luo was changed to Luo).

When the army entered the city, the Ming Soldier Department Shangshu looked at the city tower and sighed: "Since the death of His Royal Highness Prince Fugong in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, this Luoyang County has been weathered for a long time under the rule of Liukou, and I don't think it is as beautiful as it was back then!" The general soldier of Ming Lintao beside him said, "Master Inspector, why don't we be a favor and erect a tombstone for His Royal Highness Prince Fugong?" After hearing this, the Ming army department felt justified and set up a mound in the west of the city, and then the Ming army began to contact local officials to ensure that the remnants of the Liukou were completely cleaned up.

At this moment, when the general guard of Mingtong Pass searched nearby, he specially sent Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, two people who were familiar with the nearby area, after all, they had been here before, and Wu Junzhen did not show weakness and led his 500 people to search nearby after receiving the order, and Ma Wei in the military camp was not idle, and he also asked for orders to go out to search, so the two of them each led their troops out of the camp to search in the area of the official road Dagu Pass.

When Ma Wei left the camp, he said to Wu Junzhen: "Brother Wu, you see, as soon as this rogue, as soon as he saw our army going east, he immediately hid and disappeared!" It's not a long-term solution for our army! The food of the 100,000 army is just a little, if the rogue plays hide and seek with us, then we can't afford it! Wu Junzhen analyzed a truth based on this sentence, that is, Liukou did it intentionally, so he said: "In this case, can we do the opposite?" But Ma Wei didn't quite understand what that meant. Wu Junzhen explained: He is hiding, we can take the initiative to attack his territory, see if he can get out?

It just so happened that at this time, the scattered soldiers ran back and reported, "Lord Qiqi Qian, I haven't seen any enemy garrisons in Dagu Pass, and there are no people within a radius of ten miles!" Hearing this, Wu Junzhen smiled triumphantly, even God helped him! Then he pulled Ma Wei back to the camp and said to Shang Shuqi of the Ming Military Department: "Master Inspector, the last general has visited the area near the official road, and there is no one ten miles away!" Some of them are just ordinary people's villages, and the last general implored the Governor to quickly send troops south, and quickly take Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion while the enemy was unprepared, "But the Ming Soldier Department Shangshu touched his beard and hesitated, not daring to squeak!"

At this moment, the general soldier of the Ming Yulin Guard beside him stepped forward and said, "Master Inspector, the last general thinks that what they said is not unreasonable, instead of chasing the rogues who are hiding in Tibet and disappearing, it is better to recover the lost land?" What do you think, Inspector? ”

Originally, the Ming Army Department Shangshu wanted to recover the lost territory, but because the holy decree was written to him to exterminate the Liukou instead of recovering the lost territory, now since there are generals to persuade him, then there is a reason to change the route of the march, so the Ming Army Department Shangshu stood up and said, "Okay, just Yier and so on." Immediately shocked everyone!

Do the generals still think that Inspector Sun refuses to agree? Then the Ming army department Shangshu turned the main army south, along the official road into the territory of Ruzhou, straight to the state city, at the gate of Ruzhou City, a soldier of the Shun army hurriedly rode over, under the city held high the order flag, shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, I have something important to report?" The defenders of the city glanced at the city, opened the door, and let him in.
