The urgent military information sent by Li Banghua was first reported to the General Political Envoy Department, which was quickly forwarded to the Military Aircraft Department, and the Military Aircraft Department did not dare to delay and immediately sent it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Now there is only one Minister of Military Aircraft in Beijing, and that is Sun Chengzong.

In the evening of this day, Sun Chengzong was naturally also on duty at the military aircraft next to the Wuying Hall in front of the Forbidden City, and received this military report from the northwest.

Emperor Chongzhen had read Jinyiwei's secret report before, so he had already made some preparations in his heart, but in the end, he was surprised to learn that Lanzhou City was broken, and the Suwang Mansion that he had just talked about a few days ago was also trapped in Lanzhou City.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the thieves were rampant, there were several clan vassal kings killed by the thieves, such as King Xiang, King Fu, King Shen, King Shu and so on.

There are also many people who are forced to be thieves after falling into the hands of thieves with the respect of the vassal kings of the clan, such as the King of Qin and the like.

Now this Chongzhen Emperor, although he is dissatisfied with these teammates of the clan clan who are full of food and have nothing to do all day long, but a prince of the Ming family falls into the hands of thieves, whether it is a thief or killed, it is a matter of making the emperor lose face in the imperial court.

The current King of Su is named Zhu Zhihong, after Zhu Hao, the fourteenth son of Taizu, the ending of this King Su in the original history was also died at the hands of thieves under Li Zicheng.

This time, the thieves marched westward, but it was more than ten years earlier than in history, and the Suwang Mansion in Lanzhou, which was sealed, naturally suffered more than ten years earlier than in history.

Speaking of which, is this a cause and effect planted by Emperor Chongzhen's idea of trying to drive the thieves west?

After Emperor Chongzhen read the military report and the plea submitted by Li Banghua and others to the imperial court, he was speechless for a long time.

Sun Chengzong, the minister of military aircraft standing in the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace, saw that the emperor's face was gloomy and his expression was solemn, and he was worried that he was angry because the clan vassal king fell into the hands of thieves.

So, Sun Chengzong said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the victory and defeat on the battlefield is a common thing for soldiers!"

"And the lonely city of Lanzhou has been trapped for nearly a year, and this time the city is broken, and it is not for nothing. The root cause of this is the result of the recklessness and defeat of the Gan army.

The initiators of the defeat of the Gan army, Mao Yujian, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, Zhang Wugui, the commander of the regimental training, Zhang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu, and Zhang Tianli, the deputy general, have all been killed in battle. The death of a man is great, and there is no punishment for his crimes.

"As for Li Ge Lao and others sitting in the rear, there is a mistake of not being strict in restraint first, and then there is a mistake in restraint too much, although the responsibility is not small, but if you blame Dongshenghou or Yuan Chonghuan for this, it is not the right time at this moment!

"This is a very timely! Removing and replacing front-line generals at every turn is a taboo for the imperial court to use troops! Not only the front-line soldiers are separated, but the successors will also be afraid to dare to forge ahead!

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to make the merit than to make it over, today's plan, it is better to reprimand it with strict words, arouse his shame and then be brave, and then comfort him with leniency, and tell him to atone for his sins, and order Dongshenghou, Yuan Chonghuan and his generals to stay in office to see the after-effects!"

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen immediately agreed with Sun Chengzong's statements, and added some of his own ideas, and ordered the Military Aircraft Department to draft an edict in accordance with these lines that night, and sent someone back to the northwest in the afternoon of the second day.

Among them, Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Dongshenghou, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, in accordance with the regulations on awarding rewards for military merits formulated that year, both had a major demerit recorded once, and were fined and confiscated for one year.

As for the Gansu commander-in-chief Zhang Jiamo, Zhang Tianli, and Mao Yujian, the deputy envoy of the trilateral regimental training, they had made such a mistake in the past, and the death penalty was eliminated, and Zhang Jiamo was posthumously presented as the general of the Zhengsanpin Zhaoyong, Zhang Tianli was posthumously presented as the general of the Sanpin Huaiyuan, and the deputy envoy of the regimental training Mao Yujian was posthumously presented as the doctor of the Zhengsanpin Jiayi.

In addition to these measures to clean up the aftermath, Emperor Chongzhen also accepted Sun Chengzong's opinion, and did not transfer another candidate from other places to take over the Gansu army, but abolished the Dinglu Town set up by the relocation of Guyuan Town, and directly combined the original Gansu Town and Dingyu Town into one to rebuild Gansu Town.

The new Gansu Town Commander-in-Chief was appointed by Zhou Yuji, the former acting chief officer of the Town, and Liu Zhilun, the former Gansu Town Supervisor Army, continued to serve as the new Gansu Town Supervisor Army.

Shi Gongsheng, the original supervisor of the military in Dingku Town, was reappointed as the counselor of the Trilateral Governor's Office on the spot, and took the standard battalion of the supervising army of Dingyu Town to serve as the deputy envoy of the trilateral regimental training that was originally concurrently held by Mao Yujian.

In the hands of the deputy envoy of the trilateral regimental training, if he did not have a descendant team that he directly controlled and commanded, then he would not be able to smoothly integrate and command those township brave regiments in the northwest border area to train their arms.

For such a sudden change in the northwest borderland, Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was not accidental, and there were all kinds of causes and effects behind it.

In the final analysis, now Emperor Chongzhen knows in his own heart, although the problem is below and on the front line, but its root cause is actually above and here.

Just three days after Li Banghua's urgent report was sent to the Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen once again received a detailed report from the Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division in the Forbidden City.

This time, the report of Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Si not only allowed Emperor Chongzhen to learn more details about the defeat of the Gan army and the fall of Lanzhou, but also made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little remorse for some of his previous decisions.

On the eve of the destruction of the city of Lanzhou, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, took hundreds of relatives of the children of the Su Wangfu and the wealth of more than a dozen carriages, and forcibly seized the gate out of the city under the protection of the Su Wangfu.

The fleeing horse team of Suwangfu not only messed up the already precarious defense of the east gate of Lanzhou City, but also fell into the trap set in advance by the army of thieves shortly after rushing out of the city gate.

More than 2,000 guards of the Su Wangfu were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, was killed on the spot with hundreds of relatives and relatives of the Su Wangfu, not only more than a dozen cars of property taken out of the city fell into the hands of Luo Rucai and others in Cao Cao's camp, but also the east gate of Lanzhou City was also broken by the army of thieves in one fell swoop.

Subsequently, a large number of township troops in Lanzhou City practiced and surrendered to King Gao Yingxiang, and thousands of officers and soldiers in the city were wiped out.

Yang Zhengfang, the deputy general of the Gansu town official army who had been sitting in Lanzhou to defend the city, and Qi Guoping, the commander of Lanzhou Wei, and other generals and colonels all fought to death.

Among the several branches of the imperial court who participated in the defense of Lanzhou City, only Wu Kezhong, the deputy of the Jinyi Guard, took more than 100 Jinyi Guards with more than 100 remodeled Jinyi Guards to protect the Jesuit head missionary in the northwest, and escaped from the north gate out of the city.

The other Jesuit missionaries who helped the officers and soldiers calibrate the artillery and bombarded the siege bandits on the top of the city were all killed in the chaos when the city was breached.

And the twelve Jesuit missionaries who followed Long Huamin and others to the west to preach, as well as the faithful and aspirants who followed them westward, arrived at the city of Lanzhou, and only this Germanic Tang Ruowang was still alive.

After reading the detailed report on the fall of Lanzhou City from the thief camp by the Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division, Emperor Chongzhen regretted that Lanzhou City should have been abandoned at the beginning of the trilateral rebellion.

Either let the men and horses withdraw to Xining and assist in the defense of the Xining Acropolis, or let the men and horses withdraw to Ningxia or Huamachi, so that a living force can also be preserved.

However, for the death of Qi Guoping, now Emperor Chongzhen is not a pity.

This person was born in the Qi family, a famous family in the northwest, and was the son and nephew of Qi Bingzhong, a famous general in the northwest during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qi family, like other clans in the northwest, is a hereditary commander or commander.

It's just that unlike most of the other Northwest Jiangmen families, who were born in Musuman, this family is a naturalized Mongolian family.

It is precisely because of this that when Musu was in chaos on the three sides of the northwest, the Qi family, who guarded Lanzhou, and the officers and soldiers of Gansu Town, held Lanzhou together.

Speaking of which, this commander Qi Guoping was also a ruthless character in history.

But the same person surrendered to the Manchus after the Manchus entered the customs, and followed the Manchu army to suppress the anti-Qing uprising in the northwest, slaughtering a large number of Han people in the northwest.

Since there was such a performance in history, now that he is dead, he is dead, and Emperor Chongzhen has nothing to feel sorry for.

It's just a pity that the Suwang Mansion in Lanzhou City, as well as the Gansu Town Officials and Han Xiangyong in the city, have now either been killed by thieves or have fallen into the hands of thieves.
