Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, Li Banghua and Dong Yong also stopped talking with interest, silently retreated into the courtier team, held their minds, and waited for the emperor's decision. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the past, if someone made such a proposal, there was no need for Emperor Chongzhen to speak, and the courtiers would angrily reprimand him out of the palace, how could the Ming Dynasty make peace with a small barbarian country?

And now the situation is different, this 'barbarian small country' not only fought in Liaodong and openly resisted the Ming Dynasty, but also forced the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Chongzhen, eroding all parts of Beijing, such as entering a no-man's land, arrogant and abnormal.

This year, the troops besieged Dalinghe City again, and the border troops were defeated one after another, which is a serious matter.

People with a little common sense can see clearly, if there is a mistake in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou will not be guaranteed, if Jinzhou is lost, Ningyuan will not be protected, if Ningyuan is lost, then the land outside Shanhaiguan will become fish and meat on the board, and it is not how to knead it casually?

From Emperor Chongzhen to important members of the cabinet, no one is willing to bear such a great sin.

Chongzhen heard the discussion of the ministers in the palace, even though he was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, but now that the matter has come to this, is there any other way?

At this time, a somewhat shrill voice came.

"Great victory, Your Majesty, great victory in Changshan!!"

This voice exploded in the temple, and after hearing it, the ministers in the palace looked around blankly, not knowing what was happening.

"What, a big victory?!"

Emperor Chongzhen almost didn't fall down from the dragon chair after hearing this, and saw Wang Dehua, the eunuch who hurriedly entered the hall.

tremblingly got up, pointed at Wang Dehua, and said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, where is the big victory?" ”

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Li Banghua, Dong Yong and others all paid attention to the past, this news came too suddenly, could it be that Sun Chengzong really won?

Wang Dehua was excited, first bowed respectfully, and then his face was full of joy, and said: "Your Majesty, when Sun Shangshu led his troops to Changshan, he was besieged by the slave thief Abatai, and more than 1,300 slaves and thieves were beheaded..."

When Li Banghua heard this, his face was full of astonishment, how could this be possible, more than 1,300 levels?

Last year, Xiao Yi defeated the peasant army and Mongolia in Datong one after another, and it was already unbelievable to behead a few thousand, but now Liaodong is still a big victory?

Then Li Banghua was the first to react, and came out to worship: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, it seems that God blesses the Ming Dynasty and will be prosperous forever!" ”

"Eternal Prosperity!"

After the rest of the courtiers were shocked, they all reacted and bowed one after another.

Chongzhen took the Sun Chengzong song presented by Wang Chengen, and while watching, his tightly knit brows gradually soothed, and then turned into ecstasy.

"Hahaha, it's this Xiao Yi again, okay, okay!"

After the great victory of this day, after the shock of the Manchu Dynasty, Chongzhen and the cabinet officials couldn't believe it at first, but they saw the ecstasy of Emperor Chongzhen after reading Sun Chengzong's recital.

I already have to believe that Sun Chengzong really killed more than 1,300 slaves and thieves in one battle, which is just...

On the second day of the great victory, Li Banghua, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, proposed it.

"After this battle, the Eastern Capture will be severely injured by Sun Shangshu, if peace is negotiated at this time, the Slave Chief Emperor Taiji will definitely promise."

This plan was unanimously approved by the majority of the courtiers, and Cai Zhongzheng, the speaker of the court, came out to echo it.

"Although Abatai's troops were defeated by Sun Shangshu, most of the remaining slaves and thieves were still undamaged, and it was still possible to make a comeback, and Dalinghe City had been besieged by heavy slaves and thieves, so it was unknown whether they could win;

If we take advantage of this God-given opportunity to send an envoy to negotiate peace, it will be a foolproof strategy. ”

It has been a great victory, but there are still people who propose peace, but it has been approved by most people, which is undoubtedly equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Chongzhen, who is on the rise.

Nodding, Chongzhen looked at Cheng Jiming, the silent head of the cabinet and a scholar of the Jianji Palace, and said lightly: "Cheng Ge Lao, I know that you have something to say, say it and let me discuss it with you Aiqing." ”

Cheng Jiming heard the faint hardness in Chongzhen's words, and his hands clenched in front of him trembled violently, and the treacherous and cunning Cheng Jiming naturally knew Chongzhen's tricks.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace also stopped the controversy and focused their eyes on Cheng Jiming.

After pondering for a long time, Cheng Jiming slowly stepped out of the queue and arched his hand: "Your Majesty... Send envoys to negotiate peace and keep the people safe. ”

"Peace!?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stood up violently, walked down the jade steps in a few steps, and glared at Chengji Mingdao.

"At this time, you even proposed peace?"

Chongzhen's actions not only made Cheng Jiming tremble, but also made the rest of the courtiers startled, but there were still a few people in the ranks, with a straightforward attitude of Zhengchen, and seconded Cheng Jiming's words.

Li Banghua, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this is a heaven-sent opportunity for peace!" ”

Cai Zhongzheng and several other ministers went out with him, knelt down and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the people of Liaodong can no longer afford to be a military disaster for many years!" ”

Chongzhen looked at this group of ministers who were scheming and laughed angrily.

"Okay, then you Aiqing think it's the most appropriate person to send to deliver the decree?"

After that, the courtiers who had just spoken righteously were now all shrunken turtles, kneeling on the ground, looking at themselves in fear.

There was not a trace of fluctuation on Chongzhen's face, but the clenched fists in his sleeves betrayed his thoughts at the moment, but after all, it was useless, he let go of his hand and slowly walked up the jade steps.

Chongzhen finally adopted the courtier's suggestion and sent a eunuch to Changshan to deliver the decree, so that Sun Chengzong immediately led his troops back with the heads of slaves and thieves, and on the other side, he began to send envoys to negotiate peace with Houjin.

It's just that this Liaodong is a dangerous place for soldiers, and no one wants to go there to deliver the decree, but if they can't resist the emperor's order and don't go, it's also a death.

So it was naturally procrastinating on the road, and the distance that could have been reached in two days was dragged on for four or five days.

……

At the end of August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong led more than a dozen personal guards, holding the holy decree and Shang Fangjian, rushed into Yongding Gate, and was personally summoned by Emperor Chongzhen on the platform in the evening of the same day, and talked for a long time.

This time, Sun Chengzong did not come back with the news of the withdrawal that the courtiers expected, but brought a real news of a great victory, and Chongzhen immediately decided to stop the peace negotiations immediately and release the news at the court meeting tomorrow.

At the court meeting in early September, Sun Chengzong, the Liao Governor of the Ming Dynasty, stood on top of the main hall, and read aloud the long-prepared recital in his hand.

Sun Chengzong first told how the Yong'an army under Xiao Yi's unit was besieged by 20,000 Jin Tie cavalry led by Abatai, and how the soldiers of the whole army hated the enemy and defeated the two blue flags.

"In this battle, Xiao Yi took the lead, the Yongan soldiers dared to take the lead, there was no rout, the two blue flags were defeated, and the slave thief Abatai fled back to Shengjing."

Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army beheaded more than 1,300 people, and Sun Chengzong did not report it privately at the first level, and said everything he knew.

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, whispers continued to sound among the courtiers.

In fact, they are not to blame, they originally thought it was Sun Chengzong's credit, but they were a little surprised to hear that Sun Chengzong tried so hard to lobby for this Xiao Yi.

In addition, in recent years, the name Xiao Yi has appeared too often in the Ming Dynasty, and he has won several victories against the peasant army and the Mongols, and even killed Wang Zishun and defeated the Mongolian Shaohan Ezhe.

This is not over, the first time he led the army to help, and it was the Yong'an army with less than 5,000 people who led the strong defeat of Abatai's 20,000 iron cavalry, this is not the Mongols nor the thief Kou horse team, but the real 20,000 Jurchens!

The achievements of the previous thieves can only surprise these courtiers a little at best, nothing more.

And Xiao Yi defeated the Mongol Shao Khan Ezhe last time, and beheaded more than 1,000 people who couldn't believe it, and finally waited for the Mongol heads to be sent to Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen sent relevant officials, Jinyi Wei and other parties to check to ensure that it was true.

The officials and people of the whole city of Beijing have a very deep impression of the name Xiao Yi and the army of Yong'an Army.
