Three customs

Chongzhen's holy decree was transmitted to Shanhaiguan by telegram. After receiving Chongzhen's order, Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the prison army on the side of the www.biquge.info Shanhaiguan, immediately rushed to Yuan Chonghuan's camp with a few banners to announce the decree.

"The holy decree arrived, Yuan Chonghuan received the order, and today ordered Yuan Chonghuan to lead the three customs 8W elite soldiers, 2W cavalry to reinforce Zunhua, clean up the 2,000 Jurchen cavalry under Zunhua City, cut off the back road of Huang Taiji, and ordered the deputy general Zu Dashou to stay in the three customs, and the deputy general He Kegang led 30,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 cavalry out of the customs to recover Guangning City. Successfully recovering Guangning, he could send 20,000 cavalry of the deputy general deep into the Jurchen hinterland, attack and kill the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind by the enemy chieftain, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the generals can make their own decisions" As the great eunuch Liu Yingkun read out the holy decree, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang of the battalion knelt on the ground to receive the decree.

"Since Inspector Yuan has received the order, let's hurry up and send troops," Liu Yingkun, the superintendent, pinched his slender voice and commanded Yuan Chonghuan.

"Father-in-law, please" Yuan Chonghuan pushed open the camp gate and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Yingkun.

"Inspector Yuan, hurry up and send troops, there are still important matters over there in our spy department, so I won't bother Inspector Yuan" After speaking, Liu Yingkun, the eunuch who supervised the army, got on his horse and left the camp with a group of banners.

After Liu Yingkun's eunuch army left, Yuan Chonghuan immediately gathered his henchmen and began to discuss countermeasures.

In the handsome tent, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang sat in front, and a group of generals at all levels stood behind them, these people were Yuan Chonghuan's henchmen, after Yuan Chonghuan designed to kill Mao Wenlong, there was originally a different voice of the Liaodong Army, after this threat, now only Yuan Chonghuan's voice is left.

"Everyone knows the emperor's will this time, let's talk about any ideas" Yuan Chonghuan sat on the chair and asked many subordinates, but his eyes looked at his two most powerful assistants, He Kegang and Zu Dashou.

"Since the emperor has given an order, I will just act according to the order" He Kegang looked taken for granted.

"I don't know, do you have the exact news of the Emperor Taiji Army" Zu Dashou on the side is much more cunning compared to He Kegang, and he will not easily draw conclusions.

"According to the latest information, Huang Taiji has led the army to leave Zunhua and go straight to Tongzhou" After speaking, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zu Dashou, maybe this deputy general of his own can say something different.

"Have you ever thought that if we march according to the emperor's will, what might happen in the end," Zu Dashou stood in the center of the big tent and looked at his colleagues who were also in the Liaodong Army and asked.

"If you go to war according to the meaning of the holy decree, what other consequences can there be" He Kegang looked confused.

"Of course there are consequences, this is related to the consequences of our entire Liaodong Army, as early as the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, he gradually recruited the army, which shows that the emperor has begun to be dissatisfied with our border soldiers, this time the emperor Taiji soldiers pointed directly at the capital, you said that if something happened to the emperor in the battle of the capital, what should we do?" Zu Dashou is a native of Liaodong, as long as the Liaodong Army is still there, a large group of people in the ancestral family can control all the interests here, so Zu Dashou doesn't want anything to go wrong with the Liaodong Army, and the starting point for doing everything is the interests of the Liaodong Army and his ancestors.

"No, the capital city is a high general, how powerful is Huang Taiji, he is also a cavalry, it's not that I He Kegang looks down on him, the cavalry of the Eight Banners is powerful in the field, if you want to take down Beijing City, with the siege ability of that group of cavalry, no more than 100,000 can beat the capital." For Chongzhen's safety, He Kegang really didn't have anything to worry about, the siege of the Eight Banners. The ability to defend the city, even if he only has 30,000 people guarding the capital, Huang Taiji doesn't want to come in, let alone that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital now.

"You would be wrong to think like this, no matter if the emperor has an accident or not, this time the Jurchens enter the customs, our Liaodong army will become very passive, the imperial court pays so much money and so much Liao salary every year, what is the purpose of the Ningjin defense line, it is to fight against the Jurchens, but now that the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border pass are intact, the Jurchens have already hit the imperial city, what do you think the emperor will think?" Hearing Zu Dashou's words, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but have a headache, which was also what he was worried about.

"Then the superintendent is still going to Zunhua, and is he still going to fight Guangning?" Hearing these messy relationships, He Kegang was a little dizzy, and he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to think about it, these messy things, that is what the Inspector should care about, and what does it have to do with his little lieutenants.

"Go, why don't you go, but the emperor also said that the generals can make their own decisions, so this governor decided to personally lead 30,000 cavalry to aid the capital, how can you drop 50,000 infantry This governor is giving you 10,000 cavalry, you go to Zunhua to cut off the back road of Huang Taiji, as for Zu Dashou, you stay in Shanhaiguan, here is our foundation, as long as the three customs do not have an accident, others can be solved, as for the recovery of Guangning, you send someone to order Jinzhou General Wu Pai, let him collect and deal with it" Yuan Chonghuan's abacus played very loudly, As long as he is under the imperial city, drags Huang Taiji, and finally forces Huang Taiji, who is deep in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, to retreat, even if the emperor is unhappy, as long as he leads the Liaodong Army to force the Jurchens back, in the face of such a great achievement, the emperor can't do anything with himself and the Liaodong Army, as long as he still holds the 200,000 Liaodong Army firmly in his hands, and the Jurchens are not completely defeated, the Ningjin defense line will not be revoked, and I, Yuan Chonghuan, will always be the governor of Jiliao.

"Governor, it's just that in this way, I'm afraid it's not easy for the eunuch Liu Yingkun to speak, you must know that there are still a lot of his people in this barracks, as long as the army is pulled, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide from him" At this time, a general behind Zu Dashou reminded, you must know that if a eunuch and the supervising army let the leading generals outside lead the army back to Beijing without a holy decree, those prison troops will lose their heads, in this case, the prison army has every right to abolish the commander and seize military power.

"The world is so chaotic, maybe on the way back, Lord Supervisor, encountered some accidents, and it is possible that he can't go back for the time being, do you say" Hearing Zu Dashou's words, the deputy general who just spoke gently wiped his hand on his neck, "My lord, but that's what you mean?" Seeing the actions of his lieutenant general, Zu Dashou's face turned green, and he slapped the deputy general's head "You want to rebel, kill the eunuch of the prison army, you can think of it, if something happens in the prison army in Liaodong, then we and the court will only have a situation of endless death, no court will pay the army, and you will rebel, that soldier will work for you" The deputy general who was scolded by Zu Dashou for a long time asked in a low voice, "Please also make it clear to the adult"

"Maybe the overseer encountered something on the way, delayed for a few hours, as for what happened, it's not for us to know, understand whether there is "As long as the army sets off, on their own territory, what tricks can a fallen overseer pull out."

"The little one understands" the lieutenant general got the order and turned to leave. Soon, a group of bandits who didn't know where they came from chased Liu Yingkun in the direction from which they came.
