"Your Majesty! This is the battle report from the front! Congratulations, Your Majesty! What a victory! Cao Huachun smiled and handed over the note.

Chongzhen picked it up and looked at it, and after a while, he frowned and put it down: "What kind of victory?" My cannonballs killed some of the so-called Han Eight Banners! Their main force is not much damage! What does this Yuan Chonghuan want to do? Then he said as if he remembered something: "The information from Zhongxingwei's side will be shown to me again!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Here it is! Cao Huachun said, hurriedly found it and handed it to Chongzhen.

"Mysterious man in black! Not long after the man left, the Tartars attacked! And fiasco! As a result, there were no Tartars among the captives! Neither did Dorgon! Just these hundreds of people's yellow hair and those Han Eight Banners! Chongzhen still put the information on the royal table, and then looked at Cao Huachun and said, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Huachun heard Chongzhen ask himself, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! After His Majesty said this, the old slave felt that there must be something strange about this matter! ”

Chongzhen's face was suddenly full of black lines, "You want to say it?" I know it too! What's wrong, tell me! Chongzhen said.

"This。。。。。 The old slave couldn't figure out the way for a while! But the old slave thinks, is this too coincidental, too smooth? Cao Huachun said.

"You're on the point! I haven't caught the key person yet! Chongzhen threw the information on the royal table, and then smiled: "The only thing to be thankful for is that this He Kegang is so difficult that he will not die!" Jumping off a cliff and falling into a big tree! Fortunately, this cliff is not too high, so! In a while, you will go to the Imperial Hospital, spread my will, send the best Imperial Doctor by boat, and be sure to cure me, and if you can't cure me, you will cure his sins!" ”

"The old slave obeys! Your Majesty's kindness! Cao Huachun bowed.

"He deserves it! All the loyal generals for the Ming Dynasty will not be treated badly! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Now that the front line is stable! That's fine, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry must ensure the logistics of the army! "The old slave obeyed.

"Go ahead!" Chongzhen waved his hand.

Cao Huachun bowed, and then slowly retreated, Cao Huachun had just withdrawn, and a touch of Chongzhen's familiar red appeared in front of Chongzhen's eyes again, and he bowed and saluted: "Humble Suzaku see Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"I haven't seen you in a while!" Chongzhen smiled, and as soon as he finished speaking, the sharp-eyed Chongzhen saw a few drops of blood-colored liquid gradually appear at Suzaku's feet.

"What's going on? You're hurt? Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair and wanted to walk over to take a look, Suzaku was startled when he saw Chongzhen get up, and hurriedly stepped back a little and said: "The humble position was only slightly injured, and it frightened Your Majesty!" Despicable crimes deserve death! ”

Chongzhen also seemed to feel a little inappropriate, and retreated to the side of the dragon chair to sit down, and said lightly: "Xuanwu! ”

A dark shadow appeared, and then a slightly old and respectful voice sounded: "Your Majesty! ”

"You take Suzaku to the screen and check Suzaku's injuries!" Chongzhen commanded.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to be humble! Your Majesty! The intelligence is urgent, let the lowly post report first! Suzaku said.

"Give it to me, I'll take a look first, and I'll listen to your oral report later!" Chongzhen Road.

"Humble 。。。。。。 Humble Command! Saying that, Suzaku took out a piece of music from his arms, and then respectfully handed it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen nodded, Xuanwu understood, and then took Suzaku to the back of the screen.

Opening this piece of music with traces of blood, Chongzhen's face was a little solemn, and then he opened it and looked at it, and after a while, Chongzhen's brows wrinkled into a Sichuan shape, and soon, Suzaku came out from behind the screen, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Tell me what's going on? No information has come for so long! Zhongxingwei's line over there is also broken! Even my Chamber of Commerce has now lost news! Chongzhen asked in a row.

"Back to Your Majesty! Some time ago! About three months ago, the entire Tartar region suddenly imposed martial law, but at that time, it was okay, activities such as the Chamber of Commerce could still enter and exit freely, that is, about a half ago, after the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of strange troops, although some crossings were closed, especially in Shenyang, there was only one entry and one exit, and the entire city could not even fly out! Therefore, all intelligence information cannot be transmitted! Suzaku said.

"Tens of thousands of troops? Is it the yellow-haired army and the army of the Mongols as mentioned in the intelligence? Do you know how many of them? Chongzhen asked.

"Humble and incompetent! They're defending too tightly! And there was a big purge of the interior, and all the suspicious characters were mainly Han Chinese! Therefore it is impossible to detect! However, according to humble estimates, there will be no less than 50,000 people, and there was a lot of movement that day! Suzaku said.

"If I attack the Tartars now, not counting these outsiders, how many troops can they fight with, do you have any information?" Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! The Tartars have two banners of troops in Korea, and due to the weather, the situation in the territory of the Tartars is not very good now, plus there has been no big war in recent years, so most of the soldiers are involved in production, so the troops that can be mobilized are up to three or four flags, but now they have also organized the Han Eight Banners, although the combat power is not as good as the full Eight Banners, but it cannot be underestimated, and the Tartars can mobilize the troops at most about 80,000, that is, the Han Eight Banners, after all, they also have to defend North Korea and the attack from Phi Dao! But Your Majesty also has an unstable factor, that is, those foreign reinforcements, if they bring the food that the Tartars urgently need, then this strength will rise even further! Suzaku replied.

"I'm curious how they came together?" Chongzhen asked.

"According to the two maids who were placed next to Hauge before, at that time, the enemy chieftain ordered Dolgon to go north, capture the raw Jurchen and expand his troops, and I don't know how, this Dolgon fought farther and farther, and gradually contacted other forces, and then they didn't know what agreement they reached, and they cooperated, and even violated my Ming border before!" Suzaku Road.

"Oh?! Can this enemy chieftain allow many Ergon to develop his power? Chongzhen said with interest.

"Your Majesty! According to our investigation! The Enemy Chieftain has planted a lot of eyeliner around Dolgon! Therefore, as long as they are contacted, Dorgon's every move is under the watchful eye of the enemy chieftain! This operation is a pact between the enemy chieftain and those forces! Suzaku reported.

"This is fat!" Chongzhen scolded secretly.

"How's my Chamber of Commerce going?" Chongzhen asked.

"Everything works!" Suzaku Road.

"It seems that Guozhang is not bad!" Chongzhen smiled, and then Chongzhen said: "This war without warning really gives me a headache! ”

"Your Majesty! I think there's a reason for that! Suzaku said at this time.

"Oh?! How so? Chongzhen asked.

"According to the information we sent back from our previous eyeline, the enemy chief's body is getting worse now, and it is estimated that the time is not very long! I thought that the enemy chief wanted to give me another attack before he died, and pull in their so-called allies to weaken my Ming, after all, they need to develop steadily, and the same I need to be Ming, but the difference is that my Ming has profound national strength and a wise majesty, the enemy chief should be afraid, and he wants to fight for a stable time for his successor! Suzaku reported.

"Oh?! That death ... Oh! No! The enemy chieftain is dying? Chongzhen was stunned, no, originally this enemy chief still had more than 10 years to live.

"Back to Your Majesty! Yes! The enemy chief has been working hard since he took office, so he suffers from a hidden disease, and the latest intelligence says that the amount of medicine used is larger than before! In addition, in the past three years, he has also smoked a lot of snow hibiscus。。。。。。。 Suzaku said.

"Oh?! Ha ha! Chongzhen laughed, "You don't say that I forgot about this stubble!" Do the other people in the Tartar like it? ”

Suzaku nodded, "Back to Your Majesty!" This thing is in short supply in the territory of the Tartars! It spread to their army, and although the enemy chieftain strictly forbade it, there were still many soldiers secretly smoking it! Because of this, in the past three years, the soldiers in these eight banners have changed many batches, which is one of the reasons why Dolgon keeps arresting the Jurchen! Of course, what I said above is just a lowly speculation, and the specific reason is currently unknown, and our eyeliner has all been broken! Suzaku said a little gloomily.

Looking at Suzaku's sad appearance, Chongzhen sighed and said, "I will posthumously crown them as martyrs and treat their families well!" ”

"Thank you。。。。。。 His Majesty。。。。。。 Under! Suzaku bowed down, as if he had pulled the wound, and his voice couldn't help shaking.

"What's wrong with your injuries?" Chongzhen cared.

"Back to Your Majesty, the lowly is incompetent, a few days ago, the lowly took advantage of the gap in the movement of the army in the city to take the opportunity to go out of the city, but in the end he was accidentally discovered, so he was pursued by the enemy! I finally got rid of them! Suzaku said.

"I see! You don't have to go out these days, you can recuperate in Beijing with peace of mind! Okay, let's talk about it! Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty! Now that the war is imminent, intelligence is important! It's okay to be humble! I beg your Majesty to let your humble post serve your Majesty! Suzaku said.

"This is the decree! Do you want to resist the decree? Chongzhen said a little angrily.

"Humble duty... Humble obedience! Suzaku bowed.

"Go ahead! I'll take the time to see you! Chongzhen waved his hand.

When Suzaku heard Chongzhen say that he was going to see her, his body trembled, but he still said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Humble Duty ... Retire! After saying that, he slowly retreated.
