The holy decree arrived in Chen Xinjia's hands as quickly as possible.

Also receiving the order were Qian Qianyi and Hong Chengchou.

Everyone's feelings are different, Chen Xinjia quickly understood that Su Tiancheng's influence in Liaodong and in the emperor's mind is not something that he can easily shake, thinking that he really gets the favor and attention of the emperor, he needs to win the Houjin Tartar and speak with facts, so before the war, don't think too much, or honestly face the upcoming war, win the Houjin Tartar, everything is easy to say, and there is a foundation for settling accounts after the autumn.

Qian Qianyi's mood is the worst, after coming to Liaodong, he thought that his identity as a Confucian must be respected, and the actual situation is also good, Chen Xinjia and him have a good cooperation, and the people's livelihood matters are basically what he is directly responsible for, especially Chen Xinjia's many policies in Liaodong that he slowly changed, that is, his idea, Qian Qianyi's bones, Shinong and industry are strictly distinguished, and businessmen are at the bottom, which is the so-called untouchables, and they can't change their identities if they are rich. Su Tiancheng's previous policy in Liaodong was very rebellious, so looking at the slow changes in Liaodong's policy, Qian Qianyi was very accomplished, this time after the expedition, Qian Qianyi coordinated Chen Xinjia, did a lot of preparations, the two personally discussed a lot of expedition deployment, Chen Xinjia asked him to be responsible for sticking to the Guanningjin defense line, this is the embodiment of his own efforts, is a great success, but unfortunately the emperor's holy decree shattered his dreams.

Hong Chengchou admired Su Tiancheng even more, originally thought that he was likely to be excluded, or even leave Liaodong, but he didn't expect the emperor to directly issue an order to ask him to be directly responsible for the fortification of the Guanningjin defense line during Chen Xinjia's expedition to the Houjin Tartars. It can be seen how amazing Su Tiancheng is, and Su Tiancheng supports himself in a down-to-earth manner, in this case, Hong Chengchou must have dispatched the sergeants according to Su Tiancheng's deployment.

After receiving the holy decree, Chen Xinjia's face was as usual. Immediately convened Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi to discuss the matter of garrisoning the Guanningjin defense line, in his opinion, the emperor's holy decree, further clarify his command in Liaodong, this time after the conquest of the Golden Tartars, completely their own responsibility, in this case, the defense of Liaodong will be handed over to Hong Chengchou, no matter how Hong Chengchou arranges. It's okay to ask for secrecy yourself, as for Qian Qianyi, you can follow yourself out to conquer the Houjin Tartars, as long as you defeat the Houjin Tartars, Qian Qianyi also has a huge credit.

This time, Hong Chengchou was not polite, and directly said the arrangement and deployment of the defense of Liaodong.

"Okay, the defense of Liaodong. According to Lord Hong's arrangement, Lord Qian and I led the army to conquer Houjin Tartar. All matters in Liaodong are entrusted to Lord Hong. ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Chen Xinjia spoke, and he had already found that Qian Qianyi's expression was very bad, in such a situation. It's better not to ask Qian Qianyi to speak, the emperor has a holy decree, in fact, it is to completely hand over the defense of Liaodong to Hong Chengchou, in this regard. I have to be smart, don't continue to put forward any opinions, and to put it mildly, the defense deployment proposed by Hong Chengchou must be agreed by the emperor.

After briefly putting forward some requirements, Hong Chengchou resigned, the time was in mid-April, there was not much time to prepare, and he accepted everyone, Hong Chengchou would not delay time, because of the previous dispute, and because of Qian Qianyi's arrogance, some sergeants have begun to adjust the defense, for example, the border army and the Yulin battalion, but the Jiangning battalion soldiers have not moved, Hong Chengchou understands more that from this moment on, the task of Liaodong's defense will all fall on his shoulders, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi will not put forward any opinions and suggestions, to put it bluntly, They won't pay attention to the defense of Liaodong anymore.

Interestingly, Chen Xinjia suddenly decided to ask Qian Qianyi to follow out of the expedition to Houjin Tatar, this is where Chen Xinjia is smart, and it must be very embarrassing to continue to ask Qian Qianyi to stay in Ningyuan, so that it is difficult to handle the relationship between Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi, from this level, Chen Xinjia is indeed flexible in thinking.

After Hong Chengchou left, Qian Qianyi finally couldn't hold it back.

"Lord Chen, I don't understand, what kind of interference does Su Tiancheng have in the affairs of Liaodong, it is obviously the matter that the adults are responsible for, can it be said that Su Tiancheng is not giving up, and still wants to get a piece of the pie from Liaodong."

"Lord Qian, don't have such thoughts, this matter of garrisoning Liaodong, although there is some conflict with our arrangement, but it has no decisive impact, anyway, Lord Su is in Liaodong, recovered Dalinghe City, the battle record is in front of you, Liaodong can be stable, the focus is also the credit of Lord Su, in this case, the emperor must have listened to Lord Su's advice, this is also where I was negligent."

"What kind of negligence did you have?"

"I forgot the requirements of the holy decree, although I came to Liaodong and was responsible for Liaodong affairs, but the holy decree also said that I need to assist Lord Su, now that I think about it, I should still report to Lord Su for many arrangements in Liaodong, no matter what Lord Su's opinion is, it's a pity that I didn't notice this, and the emperor directly issued an order, which is a matter of course."

Qian Qianyi nodded and did not speak.

"Lord Qian, after receiving the holy decree, I made a decision, Lord Qian followed me to conquer the Houjin Tartar, I don't know if Lord Qian will blame me."

"Master Chen, don't say that, I'm at your disposal at any time."

"Lord Qian went out with me to fight, I can avoid a lot of embarrassment, the defense of Liaodong, the emperor decreed, Lord Hong is responsible, so Lord Qian doesn't know what to do, Lord Qian and Lord Hong had some disputes, stay in Liaodong, it is not easy to get along, simply go out to fight, this campaign, we have been preparing for more than a year, I believe that we will be able to defeat the Golden Tartars, the emperor in the holy decree, did not raise objections to our tactical deployment, so we still follow the original plan to implement, If it can approach Shenyang, it will be the greatest credit. ”

Qian Qianyi quickly understood what Chen Xinjia meant.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to conquer the Golden Tartars."

After Qian Qianyi left, Tang Haitai quickly entered the wing.

"Tang Haitai, what's the situation in the capital?"

Chen Xinjia's question was very direct, he already regarded Tang Haitai as an important chess piece.

"My lord, Lord Su Tiancheng, the governor of Jiliao, went directly to the capital, met the emperor, and the lower officials just heard that the emperor came directly to the holy decree, asking Lord Hong to be responsible for garrisoning Liaodong and being responsible for all matters, and the lower officials estimated that all this was the result of Lord Su Tiancheng's direct report to the emperor."

"Well, in other aspects, what else is going on?"

"When the emperor convened the cabinet ministers to discuss, only Lord Yang, the first assistant of the cabinet, insisted that Lord Hong stay in Liaodong, and the rest of the adults all thought that Lord Hong should leave Liaodong."

When Tang Haitai said this, Chen Xinjia paused a little, for what Yang Sichang and Tang Shiji will have different opinions, if there is a contradiction between the first and second assistants of the cabinet, this is not a good thing, besides, under normal circumstances, Yang Sichang spoke first, and the rest of the cabinet ministers will never oppose Yang Sichang.

"Oh, how could this be the case?"

"That's right, when the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers, the first to speak was the uncle, and Lord Yang was the last to speak."

Chen Xinjia nodded, saying that he understood, these things, he can only know through Tang Haitai, the cabinet ministers discuss major matters in front of the emperor, this is a top secret matter, it must not be able to leak the news, Tang Haitai will never mention these things in the letter, so as not to leave a handle, the best way is to pass on these news through Tang Haitai.

Su Tiancheng did not receive the holy decree, and rushed to Beijing without authorization, which made Chen Xinjia a little surprised, since the emperor was able to decide that Hong Chengchou should be stationed in Liaodong, for Lu did not think of anything, and asked Su Tiancheng to return to Liaodong and command this campaign, this is really a little strange, Su Tiancheng has the ability to ask the emperor to change the decision he made, and he can recommend himself and ask to command this campaign, which can only show that the emperor's favorite commander is still himself, and Su Tiancheng will not ask to become the commander of the Golden Tartars after the conquest.

"Tang Haitai, the army is about to be pulled out, you follow me out of Lu to conquer Houjin Tartar, do you have anything to worry about, if you want, you can stay in Ningyuan, assist Lord Hong, and do a good job of garrisoning Liaodong."

"Xia Guan has already decided, follow the adults to conquer the Golden Tartars."

Chen Xinjia had a smile on his face, Tang Haitai's attitude represented some attitudes in the capital, which showed that the imperial court, at least the cabinet, supported him as the commander, and no one mentioned Su Tiancheng.

"Very good, it's good to have confidence, when you go out, you follow me, pay attention to collecting information from scouts every day, there are a lot of preparations before the game, you must be diligent and do things well, I believe in you."

"Thank you for your trust, the lower officials will definitely serve your lords."

After Tang Haitai left, Chen Xinjia looked at the map on the wall, he and Qian Qianyi braked the battle plan, which can be described as a grand scale, and it is very likely to trigger a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Tartars, as long as he grasps the opportunity and can achieve a series of victories, maybe after the scale of the battle is expanded, the emperor will mobilize Su Tiancheng to assist him in the battle, and at that time, he can be regarded as a real eyebrow.

There are only ten days left, and the relevant preparations are almost done, Chen Xinjia put aside the rest of the distractions, the emperor's holy decree is here, those intriguing matters, don't think about it, the most important thing at this time is to consider how to defeat the Houjin Tartars, how to let the Houjin Tartars enter their own carefully planned deployment.
