In addition to coming to announce the decree, Liu Mo also had another mission, that is, he was sent by Chongzhen as a eunuch to supervise the army and stay in the Xishan army.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the armies, Chongzhen would send eunuchs to supervise the army, in order to control the army and prevent the generals from disobeying the dispatch, although there were not many birds.

However, the Qingshikou Xishan Army is very special, because of Chen Yue's brutality and recklessness, there are almost no eunuchs who are willing to come, and those eunuchs who have functions are hiding, and in the end they actually cheapened Liu Mo, a little eunuch who was originally not of high rank, and because Liu Mo had a little friendship with Chen Yue, he was not too afraid of Chen Yue, so he took the initiative to come.

Liu Mo had a long journey, and after announcing the decree, Chen Yue asked people to take him down to rest. The main people of Qingshikou gathered together to discuss matters.

For Chen Yue to be able to become the governor of Tianjin, everyone in the hall was overjoyed, and the joy was beyond words. The governor is already a feudal official, which means that Chen Yue has reached the peak of his life since then, and as subordinates, they naturally rise one by one.

"My lord, you will be the real feudal official in the future, governor, this is really a prince, congratulations to my lord!" He Lu was the first to come up and pat himself on the back, congratulating incoherently, and it could be seen that he was extremely excited. Yes, Chen Yue became the governor, and he, the scribe in charge of the clerical work, also rose to the top, and he might be able to follow the official position of six or seven grades in the future, and the future is infinitely bright.

Everyone in the hall could understand Ho Lu's joy, and none of them was like this. Take Yuan Kewang and Wang Yin as examples, being a staff member of a garrison and being a staff member of the governor are completely different in terms of reputation and self-feeling!

"My lord, Tianjin is an important town in Jingdong, and it bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the Jingshi, and the emperor has asked you to patrol Tianjin, which can be described as a lot of trust." Yuan Kewang said with a smile, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his expression.

Wang Yin stroked his beard and smiled, but there was a hint of doubt in his expression. At this time, Chongzhen did not transfer Chen Yue to the front line to fight against Li Chuang, but went to Tianjin to be the governor, which must have other meanings. However, Chongzhen's secret decree to Chen Yue has been received by Chen Yue, and Wang Yin can only secretly guess.

"My lord, when are we going to Tianjin?" After everyone congratulated, Wang Yin asked Chen Yue.

"You also heard it, the holy decree says that the sooner the better, I guess we will have to leave in the near future." Chen Yue said.

"Then you have to prepare well, at the moment, there are five or six thousand soldiers in Qingshikou, together with the families of the soldiers who went down the mountain, adding up to eight or nine thousand, which ones will take office with you and which ones will stay behind, you have to plan and prepare well." Wang Yin said.

Although it was only a few months after coming to Qingshikou, the Xishan Army also saved a huge family business here, the army expanded from 1,500 to 6,000, there were more than 2,000 war horses in the army alone, and there were various workshops under the Ordnance Division, if you want to move to Tianjin, it is not possible to do it in a short time.

"The six thousand troops can't all follow, this Qingshikou must also be defended, those who have families in Qingshikou should stay. The remaining soldiers were organized into three battalions, each with two sentry posts and 1,200 men. Brother Zhengping was the commander of the left battalion, Brother Tie was the commander of the right battalion, and then the pro-guard battalion was established, the command was temporarily served by Chen Yan, and the cavalry was placed in the pro-guard battalion. What do you think? ”

Chen Yue thought about it carefully and said. Qingshikou now has more than 6,000 troops, and it is impossible to follow them all to Tianjin, because Chen Yue knows that he will not be able to do it for long as the governor of Tianjin, and he will soon have to escort Chongzhen to the south, and those who have family members are useless.

"In this case, there are at most 4,000 people who follow us to Tianjin, and 2,000 people are left here, isn't it a pity?" The army, which was so easy to recruit, gave up two thousand like this, and Yang Zhengping felt sorry when he thought about it.

"What's the pity, the soldiers are not expensive. Select all the elites in the army, and what are you doing with those veterans who can't fight? Wang Yin said, although the current army is more than 6,000, but a considerable part of them are veterans who came down from the mountains, and it has become a habit for these people to retreat as soon as they fight a tough battle, even if there is no opportunity, Wang Yin also wants to find an opportunity to suggest that Chen Yue reorganize the army.

So, the matter was settled, and everyone went back and began to get busy. Wang Yin stayed, and as Chen Yue's chief strategist, he had to figure out his true intentions of going to Tianjin.

Chen Yue silently handed Chongzhen's secret decree to him, and Wang Yin sighed slightly after reading it, "Sure enough, you still have to move the capital!" ”

To be honest, as a member of Jingshi, Wang Yin naturally did not want to see Chongzhen abandon Jingshi and go to the south, which would mean that the capital of the Ming Dynasty would fall into the hands of thieves. But thinking about the current situation, it seems that Chongzhen has no choice.

"Beijing can't hold it, and if you go to the south, you can at least keep half of the country." Chen Yue said softly.

"That's fine, my lord, you escorted Your Majesty to Nanjing, and you will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, so it is a good thing for you and our Xishan Army." Wang Yin sighed, "But I'm afraid it's not easy to move the capital, with the efficiency of the imperial court, if all the ministers agree, it's okay, I'm afraid that no one dares to take the initiative to take this matter." ”

Chen Yue knew that what Wang Yin said was right, with the urine nature of the officials of Chongzhen's court and Chongzhen's unwillingness to take responsibility, it was too difficult to do this, and the other time and space were not done?

"But no matter what, Tianjin still has to go, Qingshikou is too limited, which is not conducive to the development of our Xishan Army." Wang Yin said with a smile.

......

A little later, Chen Yue came to the residence of Liu Mo, the eunuch of the prison army, and asked him about the current movements of the imperial court.

"The emperor summoned Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui several times to discuss the matter of moving the capital to Nanjing, but the ministers of the court pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one, knowing that the emperor wanted to go to Nanjing, and no one was willing to take the initiative to propose like an oil gourd. The officials led by Guang Shiheng said that 'the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji', and vigorously criticized Li Mingrui, who proposed to move the capital, and the emperor was embarrassed. ”

Liu Mo introduced the current situation in Beijing to Chen Yue, although he was a low-grade eunuch, the palace was never a place where he could hide the news at that time, and he still knew a lot about the major events that happened in the imperial court.

"Right now, the emperor appointed the scholar Li Jiantai as the superintendent and ordered him to lead tens of thousands of troops to the governor of Shanxi to resist the invasion, but from our family's point of view, Li Jiantai is both greedy and incompetent, he doesn't understand military affairs at all, and he can't be the opponent of the thief!"

"Then why did you send him?" Chen Yue exclaimed.

"There's no way, the emperor is poor!" Liu Mo sighed.

"By the way, I don't know, I don't know how Princess Kunxing is now?" Chen Yue finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.

"Well, not very well. The emperor gave a grounding order to the princess, not allowing her to go out of the palace again, and our family often sees the princess looking sadly out of the palace wall. Liu Mo shook his head and said, he was familiar with the story of the princess and Chen Yue, and he had also passed the news for Chen Yue, so he was naturally very concerned about Princess Kunxing.

"But at the moment, the emperor is poor and can't afford to build the princess's mansion, so the matter of Shang Yuma has been delayed. Lord Chen, you must go to Tianjin as soon as possible, so that you can meet the princess as soon as possible! ”

As a eunuch in the prison army, Liu Mo naturally knew that Chen Yue was appointed as the governor of Tianjin, so he urged.
