Zhu Youzhen is also thinking about the candidate for the governor of Liaodong, Chen Xinjia cannot continue to serve as the governor of Liaodong, and Su Tiancheng cannot return to Liaodong, but someone in Liaodong must preside over the overall situation, in fact, Hong Chengchou is a good candidate, but Zhu Youzhen is very hesitant, Hong Chengchou and Su Tiancheng are too close, anyway, in Zhu Youzhen's heart, he still feels that Su Tiancheng's power is too great, and unceremoniously said that Zhu Youzhen believes that Su Tiancheng's power has threatened the imperial power.

Not only does the candidate for governor of Liaodong need to be adjusted, but Zhu Youzhen believes that the cabinet ministers also need to be adjusted, and neither Tang Shiji nor Liu Zongzhou can continue to stay in the cabinet.

In fact, the real responsibility for many things is still on Zhu Youzhen himself, but as the emperor, Zhu Youzhen cannot admit his mistakes, these things happen, someone always needs to take responsibility.

The cabinet recommended Lu Xiangsheng to be the governor of Liaodong, which made Zhu Youzhen very satisfied, and he gave the order almost without hesitation.

Chen Xinjia finally waited for the holy decree, and he and Qian Qianyi were both going back to the capital.

Hong Chengchou is still in Ningyuan City, he doesn't need to go to Dalinghe City for the time being, because Su Tiancheng occupied Yongning and other places, and the Houjin Tartars took care of one thing and lost the other, I am afraid that they have to consider the problem of the rear, and in such a situation, Liaodong has temporarily stabilized.

Chen Xinjia had already made preparations, the day before leaving Ningyuan, he found Hong Chengchou, and there were a lot of words, he wanted to talk to Hong Chengchou, and also through Hong Chengchou, bring these words to Su Tiancheng.

"Lord Hong, I'm going to leave Liaodong tomorrow, this time, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in Ludao."

"Adults don't have to be so discouraged, there must still be a chance."

Chen Xinjia shook his head with a wry smile.

"I know that I don't have a chance. Before leaving, I have some words that I want to talk to Lord Hong, these words must not be spread out, otherwise it will be detrimental to Lord Hong. ”

"What do you have to say, sir. Just say that. ”

"For more than a year, I do have feelings for Liaodong, but unfortunately, the good situation in Liaodong is buried in my hands, such a big crime, I must bear it, if it weren't for Lord Su to attack from Dengzhou, I'm afraid Liaodong would be dangerous." According to my judgment, the imperial court will continue to send ministers to serve as the governor of Liaodong, and in my opinion, Lord Hong is actually the best candidate for the governor of Liaodong. ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand again and again, he knew very well that he was unlikely to be the governor of Liaodong.

Chen Xinjia's expression became a little serious.

"Lord Hong, the Houjin Tartar is already the biggest threat to my Ming Dynasty. It must be eradicated, otherwise Liaodong will not be completely peaceful. The capital is also not stable, this task of exterminating the Houjin Tartars, it is none other than Lord Su, some time ago, I was beyond my strength, and I actually thought that I could shake the foundation of the Houjin Tartars. I suffered a fiasco, but now I finally understand, there are some words, I want to ask Lord Hong to convey to Lord Su. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and did not speak.

"Lord Su can't just think about exterminating the Houjin Tartars. You still have to pay attention to your own safety, the court is very complicated, Lord Su has been leading the army outside for a long time, and the credit is huge, the more this is the case, the more people will talk about it, the three of them will become tigers, and after a long time, the emperor may not be at ease, if the emperor begins to suspect Lord Su, it will be the biggest disaster for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"I think Master Su still needs to keep in touch with the cabinet more, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking."

"If my prediction is good, there will be a holy decree coming to Liaodong soon, and I'm afraid Lord Hong will also leave Liaodong."

"Why would Lord Chen say that?"

"The fiasco of the border army in Liaodong has nothing to do with Lord Hong, but the adults in the imperial court do not necessarily think so, they will think that Lord Hong is also responsible, and it is definitely inappropriate to continue to stay in Liaodong, and there is a very important situation, that is, the Jiangning battalion has always been independent, and there is almost no intersection with the Yulin battalion and the border army. I'm afraid Lord Hong is also going to leave Liaodong. ”

On the third day after Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi left Ningyuan, Lu Xiangsheng took office as governor of Liaodong.

The garrisons in Datong, Yulin, Ningxia and other places were also adjusted, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to Liaodong with 50,000 soldiers of the Yulin battalion, and Zhang Fengyi adjusted part of the Datong border army and stationed in Yulin.

Before Hong Chengchou could meet with Lu Xiangsheng, he received a holy decree, which required him to rush to Dengzhou with the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Liaodong, and the supervising army Qin Sande returned to the capital.

This holy decree caught Hong Chengchou a little off guard.

He thought of the possibility that Chen Xinjia mentioned a few days ago, it seems that he is also responsible, so many things have happened in Liaodong, as the main officials, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi were removed from their official positions, although they were not removed from their posts, they also wanted to leave Liaodong.

In his opinion, the Jiangning battalion is the Dinghai Divine Needle in Liaodong, and its combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the Yulin battalion and the border army, besides, after this fiasco, there are not many sergeants in Liaodong, even if he brought 50,000 soldiers, there are only 120,000 sergeants here, and he still needs to recruit sergeants, at least 150,000 sergeants, and now Hong Chengchou left with 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, and there are only 90,000 soldiers left in Liaodong, and the strength is seriously insufficient.

When Lu Xiangsheng met Hong Chengchou, he looked helpless.

"Lord Hong, I originally thought that I would be stationed in Liaodong with you, but I didn't expect that I had just arrived in Liaodong, but you were leaving."

"Lord Lu, I want to congratulate you, but the situation in Liaodong is a bit complicated, Lord Lu still has to be cautious."

Hong Chengchou left Liaodong, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, and he spoke a lot more casually.

"What Lord Hong said is yes, after receiving the holy decree, I am trembling, there are less than 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong, and I must recruit soldiers, I don't know if Lord Hong has any suggestions."

"I can't say that I can't say it, 90,000 soldiers, the number is indeed small, Houjin Tartar is stationed in Montenegro, only a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City, the defensive task of Dalinghe City and Jinzhou is the heaviest, the sergeants in these two places must be sufficient, 30,000 sergeants are stationed in Dalinghe City, at least 20,000 sergeants are stationed in Jinzhou, and the remaining 40,000 sergeants are stationed in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan respectively, and then 60,000 sergeants need to be recruited, of which 10,000 are stationed in Jinzhou, 10,000 are stationed in Ningyuan, and 40,000 are stationed in Shanhaiguan, If this step can be achieved, Liaodong will basically have no worries. ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head.

"Where to recruit 60,000 soldiers, I am going to give the emperor a concession, and I implore Lord Hong to stay."

"Lord Lu must not be on this setback, the emperor asked me to leave Liaodong, it must be deliberate, the border army of Liaodong suffered such a fiasco, I am also responsible, I can't continue to stay in Liaodong, the emperor didn't punish me, even if it's very good, Lord Chen and Lord Qian have gone to the capital, it is said that I should go directly to the capital to accept the guilt."

"The fiasco of the Liaodong Frontier Army has nothing to do with Lord Hong, I know this."

"I can't say that it doesn't matter, I also wrote a plea to the emperor."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, knowing that he couldn't keep Hong Chengchou and Jiangning Ying.

"Lord Hong, I know the courage of the Jiangning battalion, in fact, the Jiangning battalion staying in Liaodong is the greatest guarantee for the stability of Liaodong, and it is said that the emperor should also know this."

"Lord Lu, don't say that, when the Jiangning battalion didn't come to Liaodong before, Liaodong was also stable, and the Houjin Tartars couldn't break through here, but now Lord Lu has come to Liaodong, and with the soldiers of the Yulin battalion, he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in Liaodong."

"It's also a good thing for Lord Hong to go to Dengzhou, Lord Su has occupied Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou and other places, Houjin Tartar must be very panicked, and he will definitely send heavy troops, at this time, Lord Hong rushed to Dengzhou, and he will directly fight face-to-face with Houjin Tartar, I also wish Lord Hong great success."

"Thank you Lord Lu for your kind words, Liaodong will not be calm for a long time, I'm afraid Lord Lu will also be ready to fight."

In mid-June, Hong Chengchou rushed to Dengzhou with 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.

Lu Xiangsheng also began to recruit sergeants.

Leaving Liaodong, Hong Chengchou is still a little unwilling, he knows very well that Su Tiancheng's idea is to launch an attack on the Houjin Tartars from the two places of Liaodong and Yongning, judging from the current situation, the Houjin Tartars will definitely mobilize heavy troops to attack the Jiangning battalion from Haizhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou, and other places, and there is really such a situation, he led the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Liaodong to launch an attack on Montenegro and Guangning, at that time, the Houjin Tartars will really fall into a dilemma.

As soon as the army set off from Liaodong, Hong Chengchou received a letter from Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng asked Hong Chengchou to speed up the pace, and all the 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed to the Dagu port in Tianjin, and all of them took warships and rushed directly to Yongning.

After receiving the letter, Hong Chengchou would not delay time, and the army accelerated its pace.

In fact, in such a situation, in Hong Chengchou's expectation, when the Jiangning battalion left Liaodong, Zu Dale resolutely asked to join the Jiangning battalion, Hong Chengchou did not agree, Zu Dale's identity is different, if he joins the Jiangning battalion, the impact will be great, and the border army will also have opinions, besides, Zu Dale is a rare fierce general in Liaodong.

Qin Sande, the supervising army, left the Jiangning camp and returned to the capital, which may indicate that the Jiangning camp is about to face a brutal fight, Qin Sande entered the Jiangning camp, originally to accumulate qualifications, and now the qualifications are enough, after experiencing the danger of Liaodong this time, he is definitely not willing to continue to take risks, and return to the capital to enjoy himself.
