In the city of Beijing, an 800-mile rush was like a stone thrown on the water, which instantly caused waves in the entire Beijing city.

At this moment, in the city of Beijing, all officials above the fourth grade gathered in the Forbidden Palace to participate in the court meeting and celebrate each other for the good news of the Tartars' retreat.

As the sound of eight hundred miles of urgency reached Da Li, the smiles on everyone's faces were instantly replaced by doubts. Ignoring the rules of the court meeting, they whispered to each other about something......

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, is there something wrong at the border pass?"

"Didn't the Tartars just withdraw their troops? Could it be that they are going to make a comeback so soon and attack my Ming again......"

In the midst of the discussions, everyone focused their eyes on Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair and also looked shocked.

After receiving the urgent fold handed to him by the eunuch, Chongzhen, whose face was shocked, quickly began to browse.

In an instant, the expression that was still shocked just now has been replaced by solemnity at this moment. The gloomy face was even redder than when I heard that the Tatars had occupied Zunhua.

After slamming the fold in his hand on the dragon case in front of him, Chongzhen roared loudly with a murderous face: "The Shaanxi Governor is incompetent, and after such a long time, not only did it not eliminate the mob in Shaanxi, but it made the situation in Shaanxi more and more serious, and let the mob flow to Shanxi. Could it be that the Shaanxi Governor also wants to make Shanxi chaotic......"

Although everyone didn't see the specific content of the recital, after listening to Chongzhen's roar, one thing immediately came to the minds of the adults in the court.

When the Tartars invaded the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi was in turmoil everywhere because of the drought. But. Because the whole court was attracted to the Tartars. Chongzhen only ordered the Shaanxi Governor to quell the rebellion on the spot. I stopped paying attention to it.

However, what people did not expect was that these seemingly inconspicuous rebellions would intensify in Shaanxi Province.

In particular, after several small-scale forces joined forces and successively captured more than a dozen county towns in Shaanxi, the total strength of the rebel army directly increased from a few thousand to tens of thousands. There are more people, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, just a few days ago. This rebel army actually wiped out the 20,000 encirclement and suppression officers and troops gathered from all over the province by the Shaanxi Governor's Government in one fell swoop.

With the loss of 20,000 officers and troops, there was no large-scale army to deploy in the whole of Shaanxi Province, and no army could hold back the main rebel army.

So, in just a few days, half of Shaanxi Province fell into the hands of the rebels.

Not only that, the rebel army, with a total strength of 10,000 troops, actually took advantage of the gap in the large-scale transfer of troops by the officials and troops on the Shanxi-Shaanxi border to enter Shanxi, preparing to turn Shanxi Province into a rebel world.

You must know that once these rebels have passed Datong, Shanxi. The entire city of Beijing may be threatened and attacked by the rebels in Shaanxi. And this. It is definitely not what Emperor Chongzhen wants to face again after the Tartars withdraw their troops from the customs.

Therefore, after reading the folds in his hand, the first thing that came to Emperor Chongzhen's mind was the safety of Datong, Shanxi, Beijing, and the capital of the Ming Empire.

Seeing a group of courtiers who were silent in front of him, Chongzhen continued to roar: "Spread the decree, the governor of Shaanxi is not effective in suppressing bandits, and some Jinyi Wei sent someone to dismiss him from his post and handle it, and after returning to Beijing, he will be handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation..."

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen glanced at his subordinates in front of him again, and asked loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is an eight-hundred-mile rush just sent by the governor of Shanxi, and tens of thousands of rebels from Shaanxi have entered Shanxi and are marching towards Datong....Once Datong is broken by the rebels, what kind of result will be, I believe you know better than me..."

"Let's talk about it, what should the court do, how to stop these tens of thousands of rebels..."

Under Chongzhen's gaze, the first assistant of the cabinet had to stand up and be the first to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the imperial court should immediately order the governor of Shanxi to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress this lone rebel army in depth, and wipe them out under the city of Datong, and the rebels must not be allowed to break through Datong." ”

As soon as the words fell, the military department Shangshu stood up and said: "Qi Xiang Xià, if the elder of the pavilion is placed ten days ago, it is absolutely feasible. However, now giving this decree to the governor of Shanxi will not have any effect..."

"Why...... Could it be that the governor of Shanxi has no troops to adjust..."Chongzhen asked with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty is wise..."The military department Shangshu said with a flattering face.

Subsequently, under Chongzhen's gaze, he explained: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, when you ordered the governor of Shaanxi to exterminate the rebels, the governor of Shaanxi had already asked Shanxi to support 10,000 soldiers in Shaanxi because of the lack of troops. At present, the number of officers and soldiers who can be mobilized in the entire Shanxi Province is less than 15,000......"

"Lao Chen is worried that the 15,000 army is not enough to annihilate 10,000 rebels in Datong..."

Hearing this, Chongzhen's face that had just calmed down became solemn again, and after slamming his clenched fist on the dragon case in front of him, he scolded loudly: "What are you talking about, you said that my fifteen-thousand-strong army can't destroy 10,000 rebels, and the combat effectiveness of the official army has been weakened to this extent-...... If I can't win against the Tartars, I won't say anything, after all, the bravery of the Tartars is well known. However, you actually told me that the officers and soldiers could not even win the rebels that the people had become..."

"What does the military department do to eat, this is the army that the military department has trained for me......"

"Please calm your anger..."Under the questioning of Emperor Chongzhen, the military department Shangshu subconsciously knelt on the ground and replied to Chongzhen with a frightened face.

"Very well, in that case, then I'll listen to your reasoning. If there is no reasonable explanation, your military department Shangshu will be imprisoned with the governor of Shaanxi..."Chongzhen, who was already shrouded in anger, roared loudly, his words full of murderous intent.

As a veteran of the imperial court, the military department Shangshu is very aware of Chongzhen's self-character. With Chongzhen's anger in front of him, it is indeed possible to send himself to prison for punishment.

Therefore, in order to survive, the military department Shangshu had to explain anxiously: "Your Majesty....The reason why the minister said that the defenders of Shanxi are not the opponents of the rebels is not that the combat effectiveness of the official army is too weak, but that the rebels have too many troops..."

"In the past two years, not only Shaanxi, but also Shanxi has experienced several major droughts. The minister can be sure that as long as this rebel army enters Shanxi, a large number of displaced people scattered in Shanxi will be coerced by this rebel army....therefore, the minister is sure that after the rebel army enters the territory of Datong, the total strength of the rebel army can be expanded to at least 30,000 people......"

"Thirty thousand rebels, so many ...."

After an exclamation came from Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, who was taken aback, asked Shangshu of the Ministry of War with the last glimmer of hope: "Is there a specific solution for the Ministry of War, you can't watch the rebels enter Datong, capture Datong, and once again threaten the city of Beijing, so that I am in danger......"

The soldier Shangshu, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head with a helpless face and replied: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the Tartars from attacking Beijing, most of the garrisons in Shanxi and other provinces were transferred to various border passes a few months ago. If you really want to transfer troops, you can only draw them from these armies, quickly return to Shanxi, and exterminate the rebels..."

Chongzhen nodded, and his solemn and frightened face slowly returned to calm. He said to the military department Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground in front of him: "Okay, get up....since it's not your fault, I won't put you in prison....However, the military department must come up with a troop transfer plan in the shortest possible time, and after submitting it to me for review, it will be immediately distributed to the garrisons at the border passes, return to Shanxi, eliminate the rebels, and ensure the safety of the capital..."

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen, who was already tired, waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, retreat." ”

After walking out of the palace gate, the preoccupied Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing had just walked into his official sedan chair, and the personal guard who had been following the Jinyi Guard leaned over and reported in a low voice.

"My lord, someone from Zunhua is here, and I am waiting for you in the house...."

"Zunhua..."Luo Yangxing, who didn't react for a while, asked rhetorically with a puzzled face.

The guard nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord... Lord Zhengwei, the deputy chief of Zunhua, that is, our Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Wei sent someone to Beijing to look for you, and now he is in the house, saying that he has something important to ask to see......"

"Wei Zheng....Tiger and Leopard Army, how did I forget this person..."Luo Yangxing seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Because, at this moment, Luo Yangxing is thinking about the difficulties that the imperial court is facing today.

Although Jinyiwei won the battle in Zunhua with the help of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he regained the emperor's trust. However, his status among all the forces in the capital has not been promoted too highly.

Therefore, Luo Yangxing really wanted to take this opportunity to share the emperor's worries, solve the matter, and further improve the status of Jinyiwei in the imperial court.

After suddenly hearing the words Haw Par Army, the problem that had been plaguing Luo Yangxing's mind was immediately solved. With excitement, he ordered the guards: "Quick, go back to the house immediately....I must see the people sent by Lord Wei, this is related to the future of our Jinyi Guard." ”

As soon as Luo Yangxing appeared in front of Zhou Chenguang of the Intelligence Department of the Haw Par Army, Zhou Chenguang gave Luo Yangxing a big gift with a respectful face. Then, he clapped his hands, lifted the gift he brought, and said with a smile.

"My lord, this is a great gift from our lordship, all of which are good things that our Haw Par Army captured from the hands of the Tartars, and there are several ginseng plants that are more than 1,000 years old... Please smile..."

For these gifts in front of him, although Luo Yangxing was not surprised, he still looked very happy.

Because, Wei Zheng gave himself a gift, which means that although Wei Zheng has two positions, he served as the deputy commander of Zunhua. However, he still did not forget his identity as a Jinyi guard, and did not forget his own Jinyi Guard's commander.

Since the other party has not forgotten himself, and has given himself so many gifts, it means that the other party still has a request for himself, so he can continue to use the Tiger and Leopard Army and use Wei Zheng. (To be continued......)
