(Thank you for going on to the end, people are old, Xiao Yang Xiaoxie, sdbridge, Bread84, 277193303 voted for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the middle route or the right to take the middle route, thank you.) ）

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale and speechless.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the cabinet scholars, the six scholars, and the left and right envoys were all envoys, and the expressions on their faces were not much better, and the twists and turns of Liaodong had already shocked them numbly, and they didn't know what to say.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was very bitter, he couldn't imagine that everything he planned with great talent and strategy had encountered such a fiasco, and this time the fiasco directly threatened the capital.

The war situation in Liaodong makes people feel bitter in their hearts, and they can't cry even if they want to.

The 100,000 border troops who went out to fight were almost all annihilated, and only 30,000 returned to Guangning and Shanhaiguan, and the remaining nearly 70,000 soldiers were all killed. To put it bluntly, this expedition, the Ming Dynasty suffered the most tragic defeat, and the contest between Zhu Youzhen and Huang Taiji ended in a complete failure for Zhu Youzhen.

The biggest problem is not here, the nearly 200,000 Houjin Tartars led by Huang Taiji besieged Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, including Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan, once the Guanning Jin defense line was broken through by the Houjin Tartars, the Ming Dynasty will encounter the most significant crisis, and may even fall to the ground.

Before and after, the Jin Tartars entered the customs and plundered, and the hundreds of thousands of border troops stationed in Liaodong were taboo, but they only plundered in the area of Beizhili, at most to Shandong and other places. Then it is necessary to evacuate quickly, the unbreakable defense line of Guanningjin, as well as the border army stationed in Guanningjin, is the strength of the Houjin Tartars who dare not underestimate it, once they fall into the heavy encirclement of the Ming army, the Houjin Tartars also have to think about their own retreat.

The situation is different today. Once the Houjin Tartars took the Guanningjin defense line, from Shanhaiguan to Jingshi, it would be a horse and a flat river, and there would be no cities and strongholds enough to resist the Houjin Tartars, so it can be said that the door of the Jingshi was wide open.

The cabinet has urgently discussed, and the Ministry of War has put forward a lot of suggestions, including recruiting border troops stationed in Datong, Ningxia and other places to rush to Liaodong urgently, stick to the Guanningjin defense line, and stop the Houjin Tartars. Including the conscription of Su Tiancheng and Jiangning battalions in Dengzhou, urgently entering Beizhili to protect the Beijing division, including the conscription of the Beijing battalion in Nanzhili, rushing to the Beijing division to protect the capital.

Among them, the proposal to recruit Datong and Ningxia border troops was directly rejected by the cabinet, at this time. Huang Taiji kept an eye on Datong and Ningxia all the time, once these places were empty. Huang Taiji can immediately mobilize the Eight Banners of Mongolia to attack, if Datong and Ningxia are lost, it will really be a catastrophe.

As for the opinions of recruiting the Jiangning camp and the Jingying camp in Nanjing, the cabinet was also a little hesitant, and Lushun, opposite Dengzhou, had a Houjin sailor. At this time, the Jiangning battalion left Dengzhou, and the Houjin Shui Division took advantage of the situation to attack the capital from Dengzhou, and the danger was also huge. The army of the guard in the north is simply unable to contend with it.

Nanjing's Beijing camp, not to mention how effective it is for the time being, the distance is far away, if it can't rush to the capital in time, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao.

Zhu Youzhen heard these debates, and really understood that the deployment of the army was a matter of involving the whole body, for what Su Tiancheng did not agree to directly attack Houjin Tartar, for what after the situation in Liaodong stabilized, he also thought that the opportunity was not suitable, and now everything is reflected, once there is a crisis in Liaodong, then there will be a crisis everywhere, and the stability of Liaodong is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Regret is useless, self-esteem makes Zhu Youzhen will not admit his mistakes, there is one point that Zhu Youzhen admits to accounting, that is, negligence in employing people, for the views of Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet and Tang Shiji, the second assistant of the cabinet, he has also undergone a clear change, Yang Sichang is still familiar with military affairs, and the opinions and suggestions put forward are feasible, but it is a pity that Chen Xinjia, who recommended him, was so happy that he suffered such a major fiasco in Liaodong, but when Yang Sichang recommended Chen Xinjia, he suggested that Chen Xinjia assist Su Tiancheng, It was not suggested that Chen Xinjia should be in charge of Liaodong affairs alone, which Zhu Youzhen was clear about.

Tang Shiji's recommendation made a major mistake, and in terms of recommending Chen Xinjia, he blindly admired it, and suggested that Chen Xinjia should be solely responsible for the affairs of Liaodong and fully command the expedition.

Zhu Youzhen's opinion of Tang Shiji has undergone major changes, but unfortunately he did not introspect, the root cause of all this is still on his own head, or because he wants to disperse and weaken Su Tiancheng's power.

It's been a whole day, after the early dynasty, the Yangxin Palace began to discuss the affairs of Liaodong, and has not come up with a suitable plan, although Huang Taiji has not yet begun to attack Shanhaiguan, but who knows if such a thing will happen tomorrow, the army led by Huang Taiji is no longer the Ming army stationed in the Guanningjin defense line can compete.

The Ming army stationed in the Guanningjin defense line only had 100,000 people, and these sergeants could not fight against the 200,000 Houjin Tartars.

Despair and resentment dominated Zhu Youzhen, and he was on the verge of rage.

"Yang Aiqing, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, many Aiqing have been discussing for a long time, in the face of such a situation, how to deploy, how to hold the Guanningjin defense line, if you can't discuss a good way, I will personally take the sergeants of the Beijing Division to guard Shanhaiguan."

When Zhu Youzhen said this, Yang Sichang's face turned pale and he knelt down.

Yang Sichang knelt down, and the rest of the people also knelt down.

"The emperor doesn't have to drive in person, the minister is willing to lead the soldiers of the Beijing camp to rush to Shanhaiguan, and he must guard Shanhaiguan, and he will never allow a single soldier of Houjin Tartar to enter the pass."

A woman's voice appeared.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qin Liangyu, his eyes softened, although Qin Liangyu was the imperial envoy of the right capital, he always paid attention to the situation in Liaodong, and he also proposed it many times, willing to go to Liaodong and garrison the border pass.

"Qin Aiqing's courage is commendable, but what I care about now is how to protect Shanhaiguan, how to protect the Jingshi, if the Houjin Tartars break through Shanhaiguan, I will be in danger."

Yang Sichang finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the best way is to recruit Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying and rush to Liaodong, and there is no other good way......

As soon as Yang Sichang's words fell, Tang Shiji spoke.

"Lord Yang, Dengzhou is more than 2,000 miles away from Liaodong, Su Tiancheng rushed to Liaodong, as little as half a month, more than a month, and counting the time when the holy decree reached Dengzhou, what will happen during this period, it is difficult to predict, the minister does not object to sending Lord Su and the Jiangning battalion to Liaodong, but the minister thinks that it is too late, and the minister thinks that when Lord Su rushed to Dengzhou, he should not dispatch so many Jiangning battalion sergeants."

At this time, Tang Shiji still did not forget, and gave Su Tiancheng some responsibility for the defeat of Liaodong, which almost became his habit, anyway, what happened in Liaodong, Su Tiancheng was responsible.

Tang Shiji said yes, Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion rushed to Liaodong, in terms of time, I am afraid it is too late, according to the time analysis, Jiangning Battalion rushed to Liaodong, and it will take about half a month at the earliest, plus the time for the Holy Decree to Dengzhou, the time for Su Tiancheng's preparation, I am afraid that he will be able to go to Liaodong in a month, even if it is very good, but the 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong will be able to hold out for a month, no one can say, this time the situation is different, Huang Taiji personally led the Houjin Tartars to fight, and the Houjin Tartars almost poured out of the nest, such a momentum, who can stop it.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Tang Shiji, and there was a coldness in his eyes, he was still slandering Su Tiancheng at this time, didn't he know that if Su Tiancheng fell, Daming might really fall, who could save Daming.

"Tang Aiqing, since you think it is unrealistic for Su Aiqing to go to Liaodong, then tell me what suggestions you have."

Tang Shiji was also prepared.

"The minister thought that the sergeants of the Beizhili Guard Station should be mobilized and rushed to Liaodong, and the minister consulted the military department, and within ten days, 100,000 sergeants could be recruited, so that these sergeants, starry and night, rushed to Liaodong and guarded Shanhaiguan."

Yang Sichang looked at Tang Shiji and spoke again.

"Lord Tang is right, Beizhili can indeed recruit 100,000 soldiers, but doesn't Lord Tang know the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, many military households have never taken weapons at all, these people have arrived at Shanhaiguan, in such a critical situation, if they are afraid and mutiny, what should they do."

Inside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it quickly quieted down, Yang Sichang was telling the truth, the army of the guard station had no combat effectiveness at all, and at such a time, if he was sent to Liaodong, he was afraid that he would be frightened and didn't know what to do, but it would affect the morale of the army and cause an even more unbearable situation.

Prosecutor Zhu You sighed.

"I decided, immediately drafted an order, requisitioned Su Aiqing to be stationed in Liaodong, for the stability of the situation in Liaodong, mobilized 30,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion, rushed to Shanhaiguan, Qin Aiqing served as the commander of the imperial envoy of the right capital, led 30,000 troops, rushed to Shanhaiguan, and ordered the soldiers of the Nanjing Beijing camp to transfer 30,000 people, immediately rush to the Beijing Division, protect the Beijing Division, as for the army of the Beizhili Guard, do not recruit it."

"Your Majesty, no, the safety of the Beijing division is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp cannot be transferred, even if they are to be transferred, they will have to wait until the soldiers of the Nanjing Beijing camp arrive."

"Yang Aiqing doesn't need to say more, how can I not understand this truth, but if Shanhaiguan is captured, not to mention Jingshi, even my country, there may be danger, Shanhaiguan must be protected, there can be no mistakes, in addition, from today on, Jingshi will begin to quit smoking, and the city gate will be opened for two hours every day, and no one will be allowed to enter the capital after the unitary hour."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he stood up, his body couldn't help shaking, he felt a little dizzy, this was not too tired, but the pathos in his heart, he was really unwilling to lose to Huang Taiji. (To be continued......)
