Chapter Twenty-Three: The Generals Gather to Discuss the Battle Situation
However, it was said that the night was already deep, and the old camp of the Ming army outside Jizhou City was already brightly lit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What?! There is such a thing! โ
"Yes, Overseer, the man claimed to be some kind of white flag Melerโwhat really, asked to see the Overseer."
It was an eventful time, and at this time, there was a Jiannu Zhengbai Banner who came to the door in the morning, saying that he wanted to see him, and Yuan Chonghuan was naturally shocked.
"Did you say what was this man's name?"
Zhao Shujiao had already returned from Zunhua, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"He said he finished calling Yan Honglie."
"It's this person!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shujiao exclaimed.
"This person does Xilong know?"
Yuan Chonghuan frowned slightly.
"Dashuai, this person is the right Meile Ezhen under the Azig account, the battle of Zunhua, and the last general has fought with him several times, so I know it, but I don't know why this person appears outside my Jizhou camp now?"
Zhao Shujiao was also a little puzzled.
"Dashuai, or the general will go to the bottom first, and Dashuai will wait to see the after-effects."
"Well, that's very good, Xilong, the wind is tight at this time, it's better to be careful, you and I must not embarrass Your Majesty! In addition, all news about this matter will be temporarily blocked, and we will make plans after Yuan returns from Beijing! โ
Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly remembered the words of the current saint brought by Hong Chengchou when he came before.
I believe in Inspector Yuan, and I hope that Inspector can understand me! "I hope nothing changes."
Looking at the back of Zhao Shujiao's departure, Yuan Chonghuan sighed heavily.
"Pass the order! When the marshal temporarily left the camp, Zhao Xilong followed He Kegang to temporarily take care of all military affairs in the camp! Zu Dashou and others entered Beijing with Ben Shuai! โ
In the second year of Chongzhen, October - the ninth day of the first month.
In the Qianqing Palace.
In the meeting room, today is the day when Zhu Jian summoned the generals of King Qin, but he said that he had been waiting for a long time, but Zhu Jian was a little inexplicably apprehensive in his heart, but he kept pacing back and forth in the room, and a string of sandalwood Buddha beads was picked up in his hand again and again.
"How many days has it been?"
Zhu Jian asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, it's a change, or Your Majesty, you can find some rest first, and when Inspector Yuan and them come, the old slave will inform Your Majesty."
Cao Huachun on the side said lightly that since Wang Chengen took over the work of the East Factory, he has been much easier these days.
"No need, Gonggong Cao, fill the tea!"
After that, Zhu Jian took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Why is it so light."
Zhu Jian's brows furrowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, it's already six glasses of water."
Cao Huachun is busy.
"Six cups, no wonder, no wonder."
Staring at the teacup in front of him, Zhu Jian muttered a little.
At this moment, there was a little eunuch outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, the young master of the prince, the chief soldier of Datong Man Gui, the governor of Baoding, the interpreter of the scriptures, the chief soldier of Baoding, Yang Guodong, and the edict outside the palace."
"Oh, it's finally here."
Zhu Jian was happy in his heart.
It has been some time since the rescue will was conveyed, although the Houjin army has not yet come to the city, but in the face of the Houjin 100,000 army that is forced to enter at any time, Zhu Jian is still a little apprehensive in his heart, to rely on the strength of the three battalions to do a good job in Beijing's city defense, in the end, Zhu Jian is still not sure, Zhu Jian understands that the three battalions are actually already corrupt.
Zhu Jian understood that as early as the change of Tumubao, the three battalions had already decayed, if it were not for Yu Qian's use of the so-called 'regimental battalion' means, thinking that the defense of Beijing back then would be precarious, and now it has been a hundred and ten years since then, not to mention that this 'regimental battalion' has long been abolished, so although he has not been to the three battalions, Zhu Jian can also guess about those old soldiers in his heart.
It's okay to catch a few thieves, but if you fight, it's really unreliable!
But now it's different, Yuan Chonghuan is here, Man Gui is here, and there is a veteran Sun Chengzong, and it is precisely because of these people that Zhu Jianna's heart is steady.
"Quick, Gonggong Cao, quickly go to Beiying to invite Sun Taibao and the elders of the cabinet, and also call Hong Chengchou and Shi Kefa to me by the way!"
"Yes, the old slave will give the order."
"A few big shots are on the field, and I'm really excited!"
Zhu Jian said secretly in his heart.
Outside the Qianqing Palace.
"Master Prince, don't come unharmed!"
Seeing Man Gui walking towards him, Yuan Chonghuan saluted, but there was a slight apology between his words.
"Hmph, Grand Inspector Yuan, don't you dare to be here!"
Man Gui snorted coldly when he heard this.
But it made Yuan Chonghuan look a little embarrassed, after all, at this time, there were indeed Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Baoding, the governor of Baoding, and others present.
"General Man, my handsome family greets you with kind words, how can you be so rude!"
Zu Dashou behind Yuan Chonghuan couldn't bear it anymore, but he stepped forward.
"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be General Zu under Inspector Yuan, General Zu is so majestic, but I don't know that outside Ningyuan City back then, I am afraid that General Man's kindness to the general has long forgotten! โ
"You!"
Hearing this, Zu Dashou was a little speechless for a while, it turned out that during the battle of Ningyuan, Zu Dashou guarded Ningyuan City, and Mangui was one of the main commanders of the entire Ningyuan battle at that time, and if it was not for Mangui to save him that day, I was afraid that Zu Dashou would not be able to survive today, so Mangui said this, Zu Dashou was a little speechless.
"Man Gui, don't deceive people too much!"
"Oh, yes."
Man Gui waved his hand and said jokingly, but then he went straight forward.
"Okay, okay, Da Shou, it was indeed Ben Shuai who couldn't stand him back then!"
Just when Zu Dashou was full of anger and was about to follow and reason, Yuan Chonghuan grabbed him.
"My lord, Da Shou understands, it's just that this guy is really a little - hey, I'm just a little indignant."
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan say this, Zu Dashou was also a little helpless.
"Okay, Da Shou, I think Your Majesty must be in a bit of a hurry, I'll wait to meet Your Majesty first."
After speaking, he also went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
"Interesting, it's really interesting, looking at Inspector Yuan's embarrassment, this opportunity doesn't come often!"
Seeing that the two of them left one after another, Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Baoding, said with a smile, and his voice was a little gloomy.
"Brother Guodong, let's take a look at their big deals, although we also sent troops to rescue them, but our little troops, that's not enough for them to see, by the way, how are your things arranged?"
The governor of Baoding asked.
Hearing this, Yang Guodong waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's been so long, plus the general soldier is up and down, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it, not to mention that today's brother and I came with troops to escort it, do you say it's the governor of the country."
"You, Brother Yang be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!"
"Brother Jie, I've said it, let's go! If we let Your Majesty wait, it will be really a big trouble! โ
- But said that looking at the oncoming beard, Zhu Jian was really shocked.
"The men of the Ming Dynasty are alive and strong!"
Zhu Jian said secretly in his heart.
"Chen Datong, the general soldier is full of Gui, see Your Majesty!"
Man Gui Zhu Jian is knowledgeable, of course, the memory comes from Chongzhen, a few years ago, during the battle of Ningyuan, Chongzhen personally met this Ningyuan hero.
"Young Master Man, please get up quickly, I summoned you late at night, but I feel ashamed!"
Seeing Man Gui kneeling, Zhu Jian hurriedly got up and helped him up.
"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of a minister, how dare you still have him."
"Come on, give General Man a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Man Gui didn't say much, but sat down straight, he knew that the emperor in front of him was not just waiting for him.
"Inspector Yuan, please hurry!"
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan coming in, Zhu Jian hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing that the emperor personally stepped forward to greet him, Yuan Chonghuan immediately knelt on the ground.
"The criminal minister Yuan Chonghuan would never dare to accept such a heavy gift from the emperor!"
"Hmph, I still understand the rules."
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan like this, Man Gui, who was not far away, snorted coldly and said secretly.
However, although this cold snort is not very obvious, Zhu Jian's observation is more than ordinary people, and it is also true, but he suddenly has some doubts in his heart, and his brows are slightly wrinkled, but it is also a momentary situation, but what he doesn't understand is what kind of contradiction there is between Yuan and Man?
For this point, Chongzhen did not have it in his memory, and he couldn't find it in the memory of his previous life, so Zhu Jian didn't know anything about it.
After a moment of doubt, Zhu Jian's face was full of warmth.
"Inspector Yuan must not say this, the supervisor guards Ningyuan, this is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, the blessing of me, not to mention that this time Houjin sent troops to Xifengkou only because Huang Taiji was attracted to Mo Nan Zhufan, so that I opened the door of the Ming Ji, and the right and Xifengkou is not the defense line of the Inspector, I also paid enough attention to the previous book of the Inspector, speaking of which, I have also had, how can it all depend on the Supervisor?"
"Your Majesty, I'm the guilty minister."
Hearing Zhu Jian's words, Yuan Chonghuan was a little choked.
"Your Majesty is the son of the Holy Heaven, and Dashou has thanked Your Majesty for your 120,000 soldiers on behalf of me, Guan Ning!"
Zhu Jian's words touched many Guanning soldiers behind Yuan Chonghuan very deeply, and for a while, the Guanning generals who followed Yuan Chonghuan and came to Zu Dashou knelt down one after another to thank Tianen.
"Inspector Yuan, look at this."
Faced with this scene, Zhu Jian felt a little helpless, so he had to look at Yuan Chonghuan on the side.
"Your Majesty, these are all your soldiers, let them bathe in the grace of heaven."
Yuan Chonghuan had already gotten up, but his face was dignified, his meaning was very obvious, these soldiers were all trained by him, and his temperament was a little wild, that is to say, he had not bathed in the emperor's grace too much, but he Yuan Chonghuan was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he didn't want these Guanning soldiers to become his own private army, but hoped that they could be the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the army of today's saints, so he said so.
Yuan Chonghuan's kindness, Zhu Jian naturally understood, but he stepped forward and helped Zu Dashou and the others up.
"Generals, you are all the humerus of my Daming, with you here, Liaodong, I have my heart!"
Speaking of this, the words are sonorous and powerful, obviously Zhu Jian is also moved by the truth, to tell the truth, in the face of these soldiers who have been stationed in the border areas all the year round and fought for the country, how can Zhu Jian, as the emperor of a country, not be emotional.
Hearing Zhu Jian's words, for a while, a tsunami-like thanksgiving sound sounded.
"Hey, Governor Xie, or we'll make up too!"
Seeing that Guan Ningjun was favored by the emperor, Yang Guodong was also a little red for a while, after all, it was a holy family, who wouldn't want to!
"I said Brother Yang, Guan Ningjun, with a thick neck, what kind of fun are you with our little arms and legs!"
"Hehe, Brother Jie, I'm just talking-"
"Ladies and gentlemen, generals, today I want to introduce you to a person, an old acquaintance of yours, who do you think this is?"
After arranging for the generals to be seated, Zhu Jian pushed Sun Chengzong in front of everyone.
"Inspector Sun."
"Yes, Inspector Sun."
Ning Yuan's soldiers were a little red when they saw Sun Chengzong who appeared in front of everyone, after all, the old superintendent Sun Chengzong was a figure who turned the tide of the battle in Liaodong.
"Teacher."
"Old handsome!"
With a 'teacher' and 'old handsome', Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui's eyes also turned a little red.
"How are you two all these years?"
Sun Chengzong held Yuan Chonghuan in one hand and Man Gui in the other, but some tears unconsciously dripped out of the corners of his eyes.
"Taibao, the coming day is long, don't break your body."
Seeing this, Zhu Jian handed over a cloud silk handkerchief.
"Your Majesty, you see, the old minister made you laugh again, hey, this person is old, but he is easy to be emotional."
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh.
"Taibao, you have the style of being honest!"
As soon as Zhu Jian's words came out, laughter rang out in the entire lobby for a while.
And yet at this moment, in a small corner.
"Brother Yang, what are you pulling me here for?"
"Brother Xie, that--that person can be--but the former Jiliao Governor Sun-Sun Chengzong didn't?"
