"Your Majesty, Mang Gurtai has arrived in Liaoyang, and there is an order to open tomorrow." Gao Yingyuan said, "The strength of this time is said to be 20,000 people, and there are troops with blue flags, white flags, and white flags. However, I have summed up with Fifth Brother Han, only the Zhenglan Banner is Zhenger, and the other two flags, those leaders don't know each other. It seems that there is another one, who was supposed to be a general of the positive blue flag, but I don't know why he went to the positive white flag. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, and then immediately demanded: "You said that this situation is very suspicious, it is best to confirm it again to see if it is the person from the Zhenglan Banner who pretended to be the other two flags." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Yingyuan immediately agreed, and then after a little hesitation, he added, "Fifth Brother Han and I have estimated that there are probably less than 1,000 real Jurchen Tartars in the Zhenglan Banner, and the others are people from other races such as Han and Meng, and it is possible that the actual strength of Jianyu this time is not 20,000 at all." Today is in a hurry, I didn't see it all. Looking for an opportunity tomorrow, Fifth Brother Han and I will pay attention to the other two flags. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little sure of his own conjecture, and immediately chatted with Qian Fugui privately: "Shenyang and the Mongols will be allied, and what are the banners of the Jianyu army that will go out tomorrow?" ”

"Villain, think about it!" Qian Fugui replied first, and then began to count, "Zhenghuangqi...... White flag, inlaid with white flag......"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait for Qian Fugui to finish speaking, and immediately sent a private chat again: "Tomorrow, the army will go on the march, you pay attention to the two flags of Zhengbai and inlaid with white flags, to see who their leader is and how many troops there are?" ”

Qian Fugui listened inexplicably, is there anything wrong with these two flags? However, the group leader asked, and he had no choice but to agree. Then he remembered something, and hurriedly replied: "The villain is from the master today...... Haigna heard the news that the Nu chieftain Taiji was planning to form the Mongolian Eight Banners, which was to imitate the Jurchen Eight Banners and build another Mongolian Eight Banners. It seems that he said that he would start this matter when he returned from the war against North Korea. ”

In the original history, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia will not exist until a few years later. But this plane, because of the flapping of butterfly wings, history has long gone astray. Not only did Huang Taiji's favorite woman run away, but the Mongolian Eight Banners also began to be implemented in advance.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he was a little surprised, and Emperor Taiji seemed to have a stronger control over the Mongolian tribes. Otherwise, I would definitely not have thought of building the Mongolian Eight Banners. If this is to be calculated, could it be that Wu Sangui went to slaughter two tribes outside the Saiwai, causing panic among those tribes who entered the customs, and finally completely surrendered to Jianyu?

This thought is just a move, and he immediately puts it aside, after all, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. Emperor Chongzhen felt that the information he could get was still a little less. If Liaodong has more people in the chat group and can develop into a secret agent, it will be more accurate and timely if there are a few more channels to collect information. Now if you want to get more accurate news, you can only wait for tomorrow's rich money and Gao Yingyuan's return.

Thinking so, after frowning, he immediately chatted with Liu Xingzuo privately: "Liu Qing is paying attention in the chat group, if there is a suitable person to develop into a secret agent of Jinyiwei, report it to me for review." ”

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, it was naturally impossible not to agree, in fact, he had already paid attention to this. It's just that because the chat group is Emperor Chongzhen's territory, he doesn't dare to do it without permission.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished explaining Liu Xingzuo, and was about to explain to Cao Huachun, he remembered that he was no longer the commander of Dongchang, but the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and went to help him deal with government affairs. Today's commander of Dongchang is the young eunuch Wang Chengen.

The chat group system provides the function of adding people in a targeted manner, but the achievement value is 10,000, and if it is used to add people immediately, how many people will have to be added! What's more critical is that today's achievement value is only 3243, which is not enough for targeted additions.

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated a little, shouldn't he go out of the palace, go to the people, and collect more achievement points to add people?

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to wait a few days first, anyway, there is no need to rush to add Wang Chengen to the chat group in these three or two days. Seeing that it is about to get dark, go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll and earn some achievement points a little. By the way, let's go and see Tian Guifei by the way, the little lady is eccentric, and she has eighteen talents, and she is happy to be with her.

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen received replies from Qian Fugui and Gao Yingyuan, confirming one of his conjectures: the inlaid white flag and the positive white flag led by Namang Gurtai were completely fake, and they were impersonated by people with the positive blue flag. That is to say, Jianlu used most of his troops, plus the Mongol servant army to conquer Korea, and in order to guard against Ning Jinming's army, he let Mang Gurtai bluff.

After receiving this information, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent an order to Min Hongxue, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department, and Rong Mangui, the general of the Beijing camp. At the same time, he contacted Liu Wangshi and Wei Mulan and asked the two of them to call Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng to prepare for a remote meeting. And he himself took the eunuch Gao Shiyue, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch's palm seal, to drive the Wuying Palace.

As soon as everyone arrived, Emperor Chongzhen told him about the general situation, and then asked solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, how should I deal with it?" ”

The trouble with this remote meeting is that the two people in the chat group can't see the images in the Wuying Hall and can't participate directly. It can only be conveyed by Emperor Chongzhen himself. After he spoke, he was about to recount Liu Wang and Wei Mulan again, when a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Then he spoke again: "Everyone, Aiqing, think about it first, and don't rush to answer." ”

Then, he immediately sent an edict to the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi guard, to meet him. almost forgot about these two and called them over, Liu Xingzuo relayed the content of the scene to Wei Mulan and notified Lu Xiangsheng; Cao Huachun was responsible for relaying the content of the scene to Liu Wang's family and informing Sun Chengzong. In this way, he doesn't have to do it himself.

So, after Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo arrived, they stood on both sides of the emperor on the left and right, speaking of which, this was also in line with their identity, and then they remained motionless and acted as puppets.

After everyone was in place, Emperor Chongzhen asked solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have thought about it, right?" Which secretary will talk about it first? ”

These people are all people who know the soldiers, and they are the people with the highest status in the Ming Dynasty. This kind of meeting made Emperor Chongzhen faintly feel like a joint military meeting of the Ming Chiefs of Staff.

As for the staff officer system, he has long had a plan and is preparing to set up a division-level staff department in the new army. However, it has not yet been implemented, and preparations will begin after the new army has been trained for a period of time and officers at all levels have been decided.
