Chapter 223: Preparation

Looking at his father Khan, Huang Taiji pondered a little before he said slowly: "Father Khan, since the matter has been decided, when will we send troops?" ”

After pondering for a while, Nurhachi shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Ben Khan's health is not good now, not to mention riding a horse to lead the troops, even getting out of bed and walking around is a problem." The doctor said that it would take about a month to heal, so why wait until Ben Khan healed. In the last battle of Shenyang, the morale of the children of the Eight Banners was also a little low, so it is better to recover this month. ”

Nodding slowly, Huang Taiji suppressed the thought in his heart, just now he thought that since his father Khan could not lead the troops, could he ask him to lead the troops this time. It's just that as soon as this idea came to mind, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to press it down, not because of his own ability. He was confident in all of his abilities, but if Nurhachi had any bad impression of him, it would be a little difficult to deal with in the future.

Nurhachi had already drawn up a plan on his side, and Sun Chengzong, who was patrolling Liaodong, had also left Zuotun, and at this time he had already come to the outside of Guangning City.

Looking at Zuo Liangyu on the side, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently, this general who looks like five big and three rough, after getting along for a few days, Sun Chengzong knows that this person is not as rude as he looks. On the contrary, he is a very careful general, which is more similar to Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong Jingluo. On the outside, he looks rude and has a short temper, but he is very thoughtful in his heart.

The gate of Guangning City slowly opened, and before the entrance came out, a horse ran quickly in the direction of Shenyang City. Immediately sat a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, covered in dust, looking very tired.

All eyes were focused on this one, and You Shigong, who was standing beside Sun Chengzong, surrounded Sun Chengzong in the middle, and watched Pegasus come over with a cautious face. You Shigong's hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the horse, with a calm face.

The horse that entered was still galloping forward, and the entry who was guarding Sun Chengzong's side had already gone up to intercept the entry. Zuo Liangyu, who was sitting on the horse, took the lead, holding a thick-backed mountain chopping knife in his hand, staring closely at the arrival. As if sensing the danger on this side, the horse beneath it stopped suddenly, its front hooves raised high, and the dust flew in the air.

The soldier on the horse did not seem to sit still, and fell off the horse as soon as his body was crooked, and the soldier's reaction was quite alert, and he rolled out with his hands on his shoulders. The soldiers on one side rushed forward and grabbed the frightened horses, and a few of them ran for the soldier who was lying on the ground.

Looking at the soldiers who were escorted to his side, Sun Chengzong's heart sank suddenly, this person looked very tired, there was still blood on his armor, obviously he had just experienced a battle. Glancing at You Shigong beside him, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Let me get some water!" ”

Qing Shui entered his abdomen, and that entry seemed to be much better, and he wanted to kneel down and salute when he looked at Sun Chengzong in front of him.

Stretching out his hand to grab him, Sun Chengzong asked slowly, "What's wrong?" Is something happening in Shenyang City? Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, the people who were standing on the side looked nervous, and they all looked at the soldiers with a worried look, and their eyes were very eager.

The soldier seemed to be a little nervous, but he also knew that all the people around him were generals, so he calmed down his emotions and said slowly: "Big marshal, the little one is General He Shixian's personal soldiers, and General He sent me!" ”

"What's wrong? Could it be that something is going on in Shenyang? Before Sun Chengzong could speak, You Shigong on the side immediately grabbed the soldier and asked loudly. In terms of relationship, among the people present, You Shigong and He Shixian are the most intimate, although none of them have their heads on the ground and have made friends for eight worships, but they have also been born and died together countless times. At this time, seeing that the soldier mentioned He Shixian, You Shigong was naturally the most worried.

"Back to General, nothing happened in Shenyang City, last night, General He led us to attack the Shenyang avant-garde at night. After a night of fierce fighting, they annihilated the 5,000 Jiannu stationed in the Shenyang avant-garde and recovered the Shenyang avant-garde. At this time, we had 4,000 brothers stationed there, and General He had already gone to Liaoyang to move troops, and sent me here to find the marshal. General He hopes that the marshal will return to Shenyang as soon as possible and deploy the matter of the Shenyang avant-garde! The soldier looked at Sun Chengzong with excitement on his face, although he was very tired, but he was very excited to see the soldier, obviously he had not yet come out of that battle.

Listening to the words of the soldier, all of them were happy, and You Shigong on the side shouted excitedly. But after everyone saw Sun Chengzong's face, they all stopped talking, and the smile on You Shigong's face gradually converged.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face was very ugly, he didn't say a word, gloomy and terrifying. After being by Sun Chengzong's side for so long, You Shigong saw Sun Chengzong's demeanor for the first time, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

With a gloomy face for a long time, Sun Chengzong slowly turned around, looked at Xiong Tingbi on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Feibai, go and explain to the guards of Guangning, just say that there is a war in Shenyang, and the old man can't stay too long." Next time I come to visit Quang Ninh, let him get ready! ”

After a short time, Xiong Tingbi walked back, Sun Chengzong glanced at Zuo Liangyu, and said in a low tone: "General Zuo, you are a talent, the old man remembers." If there is an opportunity in the future, the commander will be promoted and reused, and General Zuo can rest assured. ”

Facing Sun Chengzong, Zuo Liangyu said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation, I can't help but be grateful." ”

Nodding to Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chengzong stepped into the carriage without hesitation, turned around and instructed You Shigong: "Go back to Shenyang!" ”

After walking far away, You Shigong cautiously came to Xiong Tingbi's side and asked worriedly: "Xiong Jingluo, didn't General He make a great contribution?" Why does the handsome look unhappy? I also heard the marshal say that if he can recover the avant-garde, he will be able to build the Shenyang avant-garde, Shenyang City and Shenyang Zhongwei into a city. When the time comes, you can attack Tieling when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Why did General He recover the Shenyang avant-garde, and the marshal seemed to be about to enter? ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Although it is a great achievement, and it is also a great achievement to report on the imperial court, but this kind of practice is very inappropriate. As the general of a city, he left the city without the military order of the marshal, if this is a trick of Jiannu, there is something wrong in Shenyang City, not only General He will be killed, but the marshal will also be charged with a crime of lax governance. ”

Listening to Xiong Tingbi's words, You Shigong could only shake his head and smile bitterly, it seems that He Shixian is really in trouble this time. I don't know what Sun Dashuai will do with He Shixian, but You Shigong knows that Sun Chengzong will not kill He Shixian. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and this flesh and skin suffering must not be avoided.

There was no delay in entering, and soon returned to Shenyang City, and it was naturally He Shixian who was in excitement when he went out of the city to greet him, and Zhao Shujiao, who was dressed in military uniform, who stood beside He Shixian.

Ignoring Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong did not get out of the car and entered Shenyang City directly. What is left behind is the inexplicable He Shixian, and the so-called Zhao Shujiao, who also does not know the so-called. When he came to You Shigong's side, He Shixian asked worriedly, "What's the matter?" Why does the handsome look like this? ”

Looking at He Shixian quite playfully, You Shigong said with some schadenfreude: "You ask for more blessings!" ”

Looking at You Shigong with a smug face, He Shixian couldn't wait to pull him off the horse and beat him hard. But he also knew that he couldn't do this, now was not the time, and next time he would definitely find an opportunity to beat him up, ruthlessly.

So that everyone didn't expect that Sun Chengzong did not get angry, but first contacted Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong. After learning what happened, Sun Chengzong knew that the Shenyang avant-garde had really taken it back, and rearranged the deployment of troops. Then Sun Chengzong rewarded all the soldiers who participated in the attack and compensated the families of the dead soldiers. The meritorious Zhao Shujiao was also promoted to a guerrilla general by Sun Chengzong, but He Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang, did not receive any reward. In the next few years, He Shixian was caught red-handed by Sun Dashuai while drinking in the barracks.

In order to strictly enforce military discipline, Sun Dashuai did not bend the law for personal gain, and severely punished his beloved generals. According to military regulations, He Shixian was beaten with forty military sticks and personally supervised by Sun Chengzong.

After that, Sun Chengzong issued an order to strictly enforce military discipline, from top to bottom, no matter who violated, as long as they violated military discipline, they would be severely punished. Sun Chengzong did not have any objections to this order. Everyone knows that He Shixian is Sun Chengzong's most important general, and he is also a general in Shenyang City, and he is also a second-class loyal and brave uncle. Such a person who entered Sun Chengzong was severely punished, not to mention not to be entered, and the military discipline of Shenyang City changed for a while. He Shixian probably didn't expect that he would be beaten up, and it would have such an effect.

The situation in Liaodong seems to have stabilized, although Jiannu lost the Shenyang avant-garde, but he has no intention of revenge, and I don't know if it was scared by the last battle of Shenyang. The Ming army in Liaodong also did not make any moves, and Sun Chengzong was waiting for the holy decree of Emperor Yaoqi to reform the military system and establish cavalry. The money for the construction of new warships and the creation of new sailors has been prepared, but the decree of the Emperor has not yet arrived.

Sun Chengzong himself understood that although Emperor Yaoqi trusted him, it was impossible for him to allow himself to be in charge of the money. In that case, Liaodong would be similar to a feudal town, and it would be impossible for Emperor Yaoqi to allow such a thing to happen. After this, it seems that all the people are waiting, Jiannu is waiting, and Sun Chengzong is also waiting.

In the first year of the first year of the first year of April, it is advisable to marry and mourn, and avoid moving.

Putting down the fold in his hand and rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Chen Hong on the side, and said in a deep voice: "The matter over there Yang He has been almost done, and everything that should be investigated has been clarified, this is his twist and turn, I have already seen it, just do what I said above!" Send it to the celebrant for printing! ”

Glancing at Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Proposed purpose!" ”

The cabinet has always been a very busy place, and since Liu Yijing was left in the cabinet, it has been a little deserted. However, after Emperor Yaoqi decreed the appointment of Liu Yijing as the second assistant of the cabinet, the cabinet became busy again, but most of them were in a relationship.

Liu Yijing didn't have a good impression of these things, so he naturally didn't treat them very well, and everything in the cabinet was on him. Originally, he was the only one who was involved in dealing with a few things, but now he is the only one who can't make a mistake, so he is naturally very busy.

"Da in, a father-in-law came outside, saying that he was here to deliver the decree!" A cabinet clerk walked into the room slowly, saluted Liu Yijing, who was busy, and said respectfully......

Putting down the things in his hand and glancing at the scribe, Liu Yijing asked in a deep voice, "Where have you entered?" ”

"Back to Dajin, it's already at the door!" The scribe replied respectfully.

Standing up slowly, Liu Yijing took it outside, although he is now the deputy assistant of the cabinet, but he has not yet had the courage to slack off the emperor's holy decree.

When he saw Chen Hong walking towards him, Liu Yijing was stunned, Chen Hong's status in the palace was very high, and it was probably not a trivial matter to be able to work for him to come to deliver the decree in person.

Seeing Liu Yijing walking towards him, Chen Hong stopped, and when Liu Yijing came to his side, Chen Hong said expressionlessly: "Liu Dajin, take the order!" ”

Picking up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Minister Liu Yijing respectfully invites Sheng'an!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Slowly unfolding the holy decree in his arms, Chen Hong said loudly: "Fengyao carries the emperor, Zhaori: 'The Liaodong case is widely implicated, and many officials in the DPRK and China have been imprisoned, and their crimes are unforgivable. However, the court and the central government must not be without officials, and the special cabinet drafted a decree to promote Gao Hong to the left squire of the Ministry of Industry, Xiong Wencan to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qian Longxi to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Liangsi, the secretary of the household department, and Ying Zhen, the secretary of the criminal department, were allowed to enter the cabinet in order to be honest and talented. Yang He, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, is an honest official, and is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and is allowed to walk like a cabinet. Chin this! ”

Taking over the holy decree in Wang Chengen's hands, Liu Yijing felt relieved, and these people promoted by Emperor Yaoqi were all practical people. However, Liu Yijing was also a little surprised, Qian Longxi and Gao Hongtu who he recommended were promoted, but they were not the original cabinet scholars, it seems that Emperor Yaoqi still felt that these qualifications were not enough! Although he thought about it in his heart, Liu Yijing's mouth shouted loudly on the 1st: "The minister's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When Liu Yijing stood up, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Please also ask Liu Dajin to catch some, when our family leaves the palace, the emperor specially explained, the matter must be as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, please ask the prince to return to the emperor, and do it immediately!" Liu Yijing naturally understood the importance of the matter, and said with a very serious expression.

Nodding slowly, Wang Chengen continued: "But there is one entry, Your Majesty has not written it in the holy decree, I hope the cabinet will be next!" ”
