Zhu Dadian and Wu Fanhui have different views on this matter.
Sun Yuanhua was beheaded for public display, Xu Congzhi was posthumously presented with the book of the Ministry of War, this is the emperor's decision, but also the emperor's determination to quell the Dengzhou mutiny, the two people who undertook the pacification of the mutiny, there is no way out, they can only completely exterminate the rebels, can avoid the result of being held accountable.
When Zhu Dadian and Wu Fanhui went to the Qianqing Palace together, Zhu Dadian's tone had loosened somewhat, perhaps after a day or two of thinking, he found that Wu Fanhui's suggestion was very reasonable, if they could not completely exterminate the Dengzhou rebels, both of them would have a hard time, if they did not choose the way to surprise the army, and wanted to completely exterminate the Dengzhou rebels, the possibility was not great.
Wu Fanhui thought more, he knew very well that just Zhu Dadian agreed to this matter, I am afraid that the success of the operation could not be guaranteed, and more guarantees were needed, after all, between the two of them, there were also celebrants, eunuchs, and eunuchs.
After September of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the power of the eunuchs grew again, they had the support of the emperor, they had a lot of power, and the civil and military officials would not easily offend them.
When entering the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Dadian and Wu Fanhui glanced at each other.
"Zhu Aiqing, Wu Aiqing, this expedition against the Dengzhou rebels, I believe that you will be able to win completely, and I am waiting for your good news in the capital."
"The minister and Lord Wu must live up to the emperor's expectations and completely exterminate the Dengzhou rebels."
Expressing determination is indispensable, in fact, today's emperor's summons, that is, a form, after this summons, Zhu Dadian and Wu Fanhui can set off and go to Dengzhou Laizhou to exterminate the rebels, and Jin Guoqi of Shanhaiguan and the Liaodong border army led by Jin Guochen have already set off and rushed to the capital, and they can arrive at the Beijing camp on the outskirts of Beijing within a day or two.
Looking at Zhu Dadian, Wu Fanhui spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister and Lord Zhu have discussed how to completely exterminate the Dengzhou rebels, and there are two things that I sincerely ask for the emperor's permission."
The emperor nodded and did not speak.
"The first thing, the minister implores the emperor to agree to transfer the SX guerrilla general Xu Yanqi to follow him into Denglai to exterminate the rebels."
For the emperor, this matter is just a small matter, and if a guerrilla general is transferred, in fact, the military department can call the shots, and there is no need to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for instructions, and it is impossible for Zhang Fengyi, the newly appointed secretary of the military department, not to agree.
"The second thing, the minister begged the emperor not to listen to any other twists and turns about pacifying the rebels, only the twists and turns of Lord Zhu and the ministers, the emperor can believe that the extermination of the rebels sometimes requires a strange strategy, so as to ensure a complete victory, and the minister even begged the emperor to allow Lord Zhu and the ministers to make decisions in the course of the battle."
There was no expression on the emperor's face.
"Wu Aiqing, are you talking about the right to arbitrariness on the spot."
"Exactly, for example, in the process of exterminating the rebels, in the event of a sudden emergency, it is necessary to pardon certain people...
Before Wu Fanhui finished speaking, the emperor spoke.
"I have made up my mind that I want to completely exterminate the rebels, Wu Aiqing's meaning, and I want to appease you."
The emperor's question is extremely acute, the imperial court only publicly killed Sun Yuanhua yesterday, completely blocking the mouth of the rebels, and today Wu Fanhui's meaning is to appease, how can this not make the emperor angry.
Zhu Dadian understood what Wu Fanhui meant, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wu does not mean to appease, two days ago, Lord Wu and the minister specially discussed how to completely exterminate the Dengzhou rebels, Lord Wu put forward a request, the minister did not agree...
Zhu Dadian began to elaborate on Wu Fanhui's requirements and related ideas.
The emperor's attention was gradually focused, and he looked at the map on the imperial case.
After Zhu Dadian finished speaking, the emperor's face completely softened.
"Wu Aiqing, your idea is very bold, but only in this way can you completely exterminate the rebels, but this move is too risky, I think you are too young, follow Zhu Aiqing's side and learn more, or don't be so risky."
This is obviously the emperor's love for Wu Fanhui, and even Zhu Dadian couldn't help but look at Wu Fanhui a few more times.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are in danger, the minister is grateful to the emperor, determined to assist Lord Zhu, in one fell swoop to pacify the Dengzhou rebels, the first two days the minister and Lord Zhu carefully analyzed, if the combat method of flat pushing, it is indeed possible to defeat the Dengzhou rebels, but once the rebels stick to the city of Dengzhou, when they encounter an urgent attack, they can rely on the water city to escape, then all the emperor's painstaking layout, may be broken, the situation analyzed by the minister, may also appear, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Li Jiuru's disciples, trapped beasts are still fighting, cornered, It is quite possible to surrender straight to the post-gold Tartars. ”
"Kong Youde once used the rebel generals in Dengzhou City to capture Dengzhou City, and the minister planned to use his own way to govern his body, and also used this way to take Dengzhou City, so just now the minister pleaded with the emperor to let the minister have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, as for Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Li Jiuru and other rebel generals, no matter what the situation, the minister will be killed, and he will not be forgiven."
"The minister thinks that once the city of Dengzhou is taken, Kong Youde and his ilk will definitely be cornered, no matter whether they surrender by fraud or really surrender, Lord Zhu and the minister will not forgive them, the minister is still that point of view, punish the first evil, as for the sergeants below, it can be determined according to the specific situation, and they do not have to be killed."
"The minister has been thinking about it for a long time, and has made corresponding preparations, so the minister specially discussed with Lord Zhu, led part of the sergeants, and raided the city of Dengzhou, and the minister was confident that he could seize the opportunity to cooperate with Lord Zhu who was fighting in the front, and Lord Zhu fought hard in the front to hit the rebels, and the minister was able to raid the city of Dengzhou, and the rebels would collapse in the shortest possible time."
"The minister knows that the sword on the battlefield is ruthless, if the minister has any accidents, it has nothing to do with other people, the minister vows that he must take the city of Dengzhou, so that Kong Youde will shed blood and pay for his debts."
"I beg the Emperor to grant the request of the ministers."
Zhu Dadian looked at Wu Fanhui, and there was a different look in his eyes, after all, this is the Qianqing Palace, in front of the emperor, Wu Fanhui can talk eloquently, explain his thoughts clearly, and is very organized, it is really not simple.
And Wu Fanhui's tone revealed his bitter hatred for the rebels.
The emperor was a little moved.
"Wu Aiqing, it's rare that you have this heart, and I have granted your plea."
The emperor raised his hand, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, who was not far behind him, bent down and walked over.
The emperor whispered a few words in Wang Chengen's ear, and Wang Chengen quickly walked in the direction of the warm pavilion.
Suddenly, Wang Chengen took out a rectangular box, covered with yellow silk cloth.
"Wu Aiqing, I give you the right to be arbitrary, I give it to you, this is the sword of Shang Fang, I give you the sword of Shang Fang, all military ministers below the third rank, civil officials below the fourth rank, if you dare to disobey the order, you can be arbitrary, cut first and then play."
Wu Fanhui hurriedly knelt down, and Zhu Dadian also knelt down.
"Commandment."
When he left the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Dadian's expression was already a little complicated, as the commander-in-chief of this expedition against the rebels, he did not get the Shang Fang sword, but was obtained by Wu Fanhui, of course, with the army also acted with the master of ceremonies, eunuchs, and the prison army Gao Qiqian, this is also the emperor's Shang Fang sword, but this situation, no matter how you think about it, there is a bit of a complicated taste in your heart.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency still has some requests, I beg your grace."
"Lord Wu, you have the Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor, you can make a decision on the spot, if you have any decisions, just ask."
"Don't dare, the lord misunderstood the meaning of the lower official, the conquest of the rebels is an overall action, the lower official must obey the overall arrangement of the lord and the supervising army, and will never act without authorization, so as to affect the battle process of exterminating the rebels, if such a situation occurs, then the lower official's crime is unforgivable, although the lower official holds the sword of Shang Fang, it is also guaranteed to be able to take the city of Dengzhou, without any mistakes, to ensure the complete elimination of the rebels."
Zhu Dadian couldn't help nodding, Wu Fanhui did have mature ideas.
"Lord Wu, what do you want, just say it, this official understands the meaning."
"Xia Guan wants to transfer SD deputy chief soldier Wang Laipin, SX guerrilla general Xu Yanqi, and Shanhaiguan guerrilla general Wu Sangui and others to follow him, as for the number of sergeants, after arriving in Qingzhou Mansion, Xia Guan will ask the lord and the supervisor again."
"Well, the official knows, after arriving at the Qingzhou Mansion City, the official will discuss with the senior supervisor, you are ready, we will set off tomorrow and go to Dengzhou."
After returning home, Chen Shiqu was already waiting at the mansion.
After Wu Fanhui left the capital, the mansion was naturally temporarily occupied by Chen Shiqu, which can be regarded as temporary care, in fact, Chen Shiqu still has a mansion in the capital.
Seeing the slender wooden box wrapped in yellow silk cloth in Wu Fanhui's hand, Chen Shiqu already understood everything.
"Qian Jue, the emperor gave you the sword of Shang Fang, it seems that the emperor has made up his mind to exterminate the rebels this time, you don't want to live up to the emperor's high hopes."
Chen Shiqu didn't know what kind of combat mission Wu Fanhui undertook, and Wu Fanhui wouldn't say that the combat mission he undertook was extremely dangerous, and the rebels under Kong Youde had been looting Denglai for more than half a year, and it could be said that the entire Dengzhou and Laizhou were almost controlled by the rebels.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, Qian Jue knows what to do."
