However, the words of the cabinet chief assistant gave Chongzhen a wake-up call on the other hand, which made Chongzhen's eyes light up, and he suddenly thought of an excellent way to deal with the tiger and leopard army......

Thinking about it, Chongzhen's eyes actually shot out two eyes full of heat.

Under the gaze of several ministers at the same time, Chongzhen, who had already made a decision in his heart, spoke decisively......

"Zhang Aiqing is right, I should indeed make an order...... However, in addition to giving the Tiger and Leopard Army a decree, I also want to give Ningxia Zhang Zhongming a decree......"

Just when most of the ministers had a puzzled expression on their faces. The young face of the commander of the Jinyi Guard unexpectedly revealed a meaningful expression.

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he asked thoughtfully and rhetorically: "Your Majesty, do you want to recruit Zhang Zhongming and let Zhang Zhongming continue to serve the imperial court......

After seeing Emperor Chongzhen's acquiescence nodding, the eyes of the commander of the Jinyi Guard lit up, and he complimented excitedly: "Your Majesty, if the imperial court can really recruit Zhang Zhongming, let Zhang Zhongming serve the imperial court again...... With Zhang Zhongming's ability to command the army, coupled with the support of the imperial court as a backing to give him equipment and financial resources...... Master Zhang Zhongming and Master Zhang will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Tiger and Leopard Army in Ningxia, and rub the arrogance of the Tiger and Leopard Army well......"

At this time, several cabinet ministers finally reacted.

A sudden expression of realization quickly flashed on his face, and at the same time, he followed the commander of the Jinyi Guard and said complimentally......

"Majesty xià wise...... The ministers fully support His Majesty's idea......"

"Good ......" Under the compliments of several old ministers, Emperor Chongzhen also became fluttering.

Without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and decided: "Intended ...... Northern King Wei Zheng, Ningxia was a province under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even if there is a riot. The imperial court should also send troops. Enter the Ningxia Judgment ...... I did not allow the Haw Par Army to enter the territory of Ningxia......"

"Zhang Zhongming, the former chief soldier of Ningxia, I remember that you once served the imperial court and made a lot of contributions to the imperial court...... I am not guilty of your participation in the riots...... You are now appointed Governor of Gansu, commanding all military and government affairs in Gansu and Ningxia, and prohibiting not a single soldier of the Haw Par Army from entering Ningxia and Gansu......"

"If you take the command and take up the position of Governor of Ganning, I will grant you the authority to form and train 50,000 new imperial armies in Gansu and Ningxia provinces to fight against the Tiger and Par Army. The food, grass and military expenses required for the formation of the new army are all borne by the imperial court......"

"To show the sincerity of the imperial court. My sincerity...... As long as Lord Zhang receives the order and orders to fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army, the imperial court will immediately allocate 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 quintals of grain, 20,000 grenades, 5,000 muskets, and 5,000 catties of gunpowder from Sichuan to support the Governor's Mansion of Ganning and ensure that not a single soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Army can enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia......"

Governor of Ganning...... When Chongzhen said this official name, several important ministers subconsciously thought of the governor of Shanxi that Wei Zheng once served.

In their eyes. Wei Zheng can go from being a governor of two provinces to a warlord...... He Zhang Zhongming can do the same.

So, after Chongzhen's words were finished. Even though several old Chen knew that their next act was to resist the decree, they still knelt on the ground without hesitation and asked Chongzhen to take back the holy decree......

Looking at the sincere and heartfelt old minister in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled.

While showing a satisfied smile to these old ministers, he directly explained......

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are for my good and for the good of the court...... But you're not thinking about it all......"

"If you think about the current situation in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo, you think that there is no food, no income...... How long can the Ganning Governor's Palace, which has lost the support of the imperial court, last ......"

"I can say for sure that it won't last even a month...... As long as the imperial court controls the source of food, military spending, and weapons of the Ganning Governor's Palace...... The Ganning Governor's Mansion will never be able to get rid of the control of the imperial court......"

Under Emperor Chongzhen's patient explanation, these old ministers were finally relieved. Then, he did not hesitate to support Emperor Chongzhen to do this......

Xining City, Ningxia, where Zhang Zhongming's former general army yamen is located......

Because of the continuous war for a year, this once very prosperous county town has now become very desolate.

Xining General Military Mansion, because it is a masonry structure, is not very strict zhòng.

After a brief interruption, Zhang Zhongming directly set up the headquarters of the General Military Central Committee in the yamen of the general military palace where he once worked.

Just when Zhang Zhongming was facing a map, thinking about how to continue to expand his strength and become a veritable king of Ningxia.

A personal guard suddenly barged in and whispered a few words in Zhang Zhongming's ear......

After finishing, Zhang Zhongming's face directly showed a very surprised expression. Then, subconsciously exclaimed......

"Why did he come back again...... I remember that he had already returned to Nanjing...... Let him in immediately, you must pay attention to confidentiality, this matter must not be leaked out......"

Soon, one of his former subordinates walked in with a flushed face.

Before he could speak, this former subordinate rushed to speak: "General...... Checkmate...... I have important news to convey to you right away, which is related to the life and death of you and your subordinates after counting the general......"

After speaking, this messenger from the imperial court sent what Jinyi Wei had secretly probed to Zhang Zhongming.

Although the number of troops under his command has exceeded 20,000, he is still very afraid of the fierce enemy of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Therefore, when he learned the news that the 20,000 elites of the Tiger and Leopard Army would enter Ningxia in ten days at the latest, his brows subconsciously furrowed.

Then, he asked this former subordinate......

"I want to know, I have betrayed the court, why do you still give me this news......"

The subordinates did not hesitate, and replied bluntly: "This news is not given to you by me, it is given to you by the imperial court......"

"As for why, the reason is very simple, the court wants to save you, and doesn't want to watch you die at the hands of the Tiger and Par Army......"

"This is the first holy decree given to you by His Majesty, and if you agree, there will be a second and third ......"

"I believe that with the help of the imperial court, your strength in Ningxia can at least double on the current basis...... This way, you will have a better chance of winning against the Haw Par Army...... Therefore, I hope that the general will carefully consider the requirements and conditions of the imperial court......"

After speaking, he sent a secret decree to Zhang Zhongming, who didn't even have time to ask a question. Waiting for Zhang Zhongming to make a final decision...... (To be continued......)
