"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

A burst of mountain shouts of long live resounded throughout the hall. In the current Central Plains, the only person who can be called so is Emperor Hongguang in Xi'an, Shaanxi.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can only be pro-government after the marriage, and in order to avoid the loss of power, therefore, there is a queen mother supervising the country, the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties, when the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty is in charge of the country, it is more like a symbolic existence, most of the time, all kinds of government are discussed by the ministers before they are presented, she only needs to use the seal.

Of course, this is also related to the system of the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, after the establishment of the cabinet system, after hundreds of years of development, the cabinet system has been completely mature, various state institutions under the supervision of the cabinet, very normal operation, and this is also, in the late Ming Dynasty, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, whether it is not going to court for decades, or playing all day long, doing carpenter work, the entire Ming court can also operate normally.

If it weren't for the recent decades, just in time for the Xiaoice River period, natural disasters continued, coupled with the struggle for power between the Donglin Party and the eunuchs, to be honest, Daming would not have had this end at all, and the current Hongguang court is like this, after Hongguang Emperor Zhu Cixi ascended the throne, because of his young age, Empress Zhou supervised the country, of course, although Empress Dowager Zhou was just doing it, all things were handled by Shi Lei.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

A little eunuch, skillfully shouted this sentence, according to the rules of the past, at this time, there should be some officials to start to do things, although the things said, the Empress Dowager Zhou generally does not understand, but she still insists on coming to the court every day, in order to exercise the ability of the Hongguang Emperor's director, and prepare for the future Hongguang Emperor's pro-government.

But today's surprise is that Shi Lei, who rarely speaks, was the first to stand up today and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the minister has a plan to play." ”

Seeing Shi Lei who stood up, Empress Dowager Zhou's heart was full of entanglement, for Shi Lei to rescue himself and others from Beijing City, and to be able to support Emperor Hongguang to ascend the throne, from this point of view, Empress Dowager Zhou is very satisfied with Shi Lei, but on the other hand, since Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, they have not changed anything else except for the change of identity, all the major and minor affairs of the Hongguang court are decided by Shi Lei alone, which makes the Empress Dowager Zhou very dissatisfied, but now in this case, she has no choice but to endure.

"Oh, Shi Aiqing has something to say quickly." Although she was not satisfied, the face of the Queen Mother last week was still very standard.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Weichen got the news yesterday that the Manchu Tartars who occupied the city of Beijing, after hearing that His Majesty had ascended the throne, were so angry that they sent a large army to attack, and they will arrive in a few days." Shi Lei said. To tell the truth, after Shi Lei got the news, he originally wanted to secretly send troops to catch the Duoduo army off guard, but later, under the persuasion of Tong Chenfu and others, he still felt that this matter should be reported to the court.

There are two reasons, one is that if they can successfully resist the attack of the Duoduo army this time, or even defeat them, then it will be a sensation in the world, known in all directions, and it can also give a deterrent to the surrounding forces that are eyeing them, especially the Dashun army that was chased by Wu Sangui and fled, and the other reason is that sending troops is a big deal after all, if it was before, Emperor Hongguang did not ascend the throne, then he acted privately, and it was understandable.

But now, after all, he is the Qingtian Marquis of the Hongguang Imperial Court, the cabinet scholar or the governor of the world's rebellion against the Governor's Mansion, if he doesn't even report to the court about such a major matter as sending troops, then maybe there will be some people who say that he has no eyes on the king, and is domineering, although these words are not harmful to him, but in the long run, it is very unfavorable to him, you know, the reason why he assisted the Hongguang Emperor to ascend the throne is to unite all the forces in the world, so as to unanimously resist the Manchus, if this matter is known by those powerful factions in various places, so how can he use the name of Ming orthodoxy to dispatch these people in the future?

Although Shi Lei's words were not much, but after listening to many officials in the main hall, they couldn't help but tremble, and the expressions on their faces also changed a little, many officials here were originally local officials in Shaanxi, and they were very clear about the strength of the Manchus, and now they couldn't help but be afraid when they heard that the Manchu army was coming, after all, they didn't think that with the current Shaanxi could resist the Manchu army.

And Empress Zhou, not to mention, hearing this, her hands trembled a little, thinking that when Emperor Chongzhen was in the past, she used the strength of the entire Ming court, not only did not eliminate the Manchu Dynasty, but was also defeated by the Manchu Dynasty, which caused the domestic smoke to rise, and now she thinks that these extremely vicious people are about to attack, she thought of the tragedy when Beijing was broken, and thought that she might encounter that situation again, her heart was full of horror.

"Quiet, quiet, above the court, discuss in private, what kind of system it becomes." At the critical moment, the Inspectorate Zuodu Yu Shi Mu took the wind and scolded loudly, as the imperial history, it was his right to rectify the rule of officials and correct the atmosphere.

Sure enough, for Mu Chengfeng, those officials were still a little jealous, so in an instant, the whispering in the hall and the rapid news disappeared, leaving a silence.

Mu Chengfeng's scolding also made the Empress Dowager Zhou sober up, and she immediately looked at Shi Lei who was standing there with an expectant look on her face and said, "Shi Shi Aiqing, the Tartar army is coming, I don't know if you have a way to deal with it." At the critical moment, she can only hope that Shi Lei can create miracles as always.

"The Queen Mother rest assured, after Wechen got the news, he has carefully studied it, although the Tartar army is strong, it is not invincible, as long as you are prepared to repel the Tartar army, it will definitely not be a problem, therefore, please Your Majesty and the Queen Mother Don't worry too much, Wechen will definitely go all out to protect the safety of His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Shi Lei said, to be honest, Shi Lei did not have much confidence in this battle, not that Shi Lei was afraid in his heart, but that his strength was indeed a little weak.

You know, although the Duoduo army is said to be 20,000 people, but those 20,000 people are the elite of the Manchu Eight Banners, the current Manchu Eight Banners, that is the invincible representative, but not the descendants of later generations, the current Eight Banners, one person alone three or five Ming troops is definitely not a problem, the most terrible thing is that the Eight Banners soldiers under the leadership of their respective Niu Lu Zhangjing, often hundreds of people can fight thousands or even tens of thousands of Ming troops everywhere, this is not only the Ming Army's combat effectiveness is weak, but more importantly, it can be shown from this point, The Manchu Qing Dynasty was very strong in the building of the grass-roots army, you must know that when fighting wars throughout the ages, the most important thing was not the generals who led the troops, as long as those generals were not stupid to the home, they would not make big mistakes, and the real test of the war was the grass-roots organizations of both sides, and the Manchu army did the best in this regard.

In terms of Shi Lei, since Yuan Zongdi took away 50,000 elite soldiers to garrison Hanzhong, although Shi Lei has recruited troops many times, after all, they are a group of recruits who have not been on the battlefield, these people have not been trained for more than half a year, let alone fight against the fierce Manchu army, even if it is Li Zicheng's Dashun army, they are not opponents.

Of course, saying that, Shi Lei is not really unsure in his heart, otherwise, knowing that he will be defeated, he might as well flee directly with Emperor Hongguang, but in that case, what face will he have to face the world in the future, and how can he resist the Manchus.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Empress Dowager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, he still believed in Shi Lei, since Shi Lei was able to say these words, then it proved that he could at least resist the Tartar army, if that was the case, she would have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, since Shi Aiqing is sure, then the mourning family is relieved, and the mourning family is here to wish Shi Aiqing can destroy the Tartars as soon as possible and return victorious." Empress Dowager Zhou said.

After saying these words, the Empress Dowager Zhou dispersed early, after all, there was such a big incident, and those trivial things, the hundred officials stopped talking, they all had to go back and think about it, the consequences of this matter, as for what the consequences, it was not enough to be humanized by outsiders.

"My lord, you really decided to go in person this time, but this time the Tartars are surging, and the battlefield situation must be very dangerous, or let your subordinates go down, you still sit in the center, and one side should be in all directions." It was Fang Junchi who spoke, because the news was too short this time, and Fang Junchi has been busy preparing for the construction of the lecture hall recently, so Shi Lei didn't even notify him, and now after hearing Shi Lei's conversation in the court, he pulled Shi Lei and said as soon as he dispersed.

"Hahaha, what, Brother Fang is worried that the official will lose the battle, don't worry, although the official has no perfect plan this time, he has also made a few back-ups, among which you have to help the official do one thing, if this matter is done well, maybe we will be able to completely annihilate this Manchurian army." Since he was told by Mu Chengfeng last time, Shi Lei has paid great attention to his appearance and salutation in public, and he has been unable to get off the stage.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Fang Junchi suddenly became excited, you know, he has long wanted to go to the battlefield, but for various reasons, he has always been in the rear, even if he can fight, it is also a passive defense, and now he can participate in this big battle, which can be regarded as satisfying his wishes.
