Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the reaction of the three people, and continued, "This kind of stupid thing of abandoning the fence has been committed as early as the orthodox emperor of Ming Yingzong, at that time, my biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Esen Taiji of Oirat, or it was called Yexian, and the four guards in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and the three guards in the northeast of Wuliang Ha were the powerful guarantees for the defense of the Ming Dynasty. But the orthodox emperor said, "Let the leaders of the prize rate try to improve themselves." "Not a single soldier was sent to help, so that the four guards were all annexed by Warat. When he also attacked the Wuliangha Sanwei in the northeast first, the orthodox emperor even said: "The imperial court heard that the Taishi and Wuliangha had a vendetta against the border, and they had quit the border of the army." It's like saying, "As long as you don't come to hit me, whoever you want to hit is whatever." As a result, when Warat had collected all the enemies and began to challenge the Ming Empire, the orthodox emperor felt that "his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, and he must not be worried." "—this even the daylily is cold." After the "Civil and Engineering Change", the orthodox emperor who was imprisoned in the Warat army had only regrets. However, although the Ming Empire at that time began to decline, the foundation laid by the ancestors was still there. And in the apocalypse, and the current dynasty, my Ming Dynasty internal corruption, disasters and famines, civil uprisings, the army lack of food and salary, combat effectiveness is extremely poor, at this time also re-enacted the scene of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, it is simply suicide. ”

Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and Lu Xiangsheng were shocked, no one thought that the emperor's words were so vulgar. criticized the ancestors without hesitating foul language, which they could not agree with, but they felt that the emperor's words had some truth.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen knew that the three of them would not say anything, and continued, "You must have said in your hearts that I leave no room for speech, and I am too harsh on the first emperors. Victory over me! I will seek truth from facts in the future. Especially the military! One more thing, I tell you, that fighting a war is not just about winning a war! The military is a vassal of the government! In the same way, you are all my vassals. You must agree with me! Now Lin Dan Khan is courting me. We must treat each other with courtesy. It is absolutely impossible to mention that they want to deal with Houjin together, and there is no follow-up. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said so, which is equivalent to not giving the three of them room to turn around. It's about reaching a consensus! "I ask you, do you all understand the true meaning of the Imperial Party? It's not just a form, joining the imperial party, this is definitely not a form, the people in the imperial party, no matter when, must firmly stand with me, stand with Daming, and stand with my decision-making! If you don't change your mind, you will change people! ”

Zhao Shujiao did not disagree with the second half of the imperial party's words, knelt down and said, "Long live, I, Zhao Shujiao, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, have died thousands of times without a trace of remorse!" The veteran just thinks we don't have what it takes to compete with Jiannu outside the fortress. ”

Lu Xiangsheng also knelt down, "Long live, I, Lu Xiangsheng, swear, where does the emperor point, where do I Lu Xiangsheng fight?" The emperor's decision will never be wrong, I can't discard my vassal country, I can't discard my friends, this doesn't meet the standard of being a man! ”

Man Gui saw that it couldn't be done, so he knelt down, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I'm a rough person and can't speak, but I can guarantee that I, Man Gui, will always be with the emperor, with the emperor's decision-making, and stand with Daming, even if I die in the field, as long as it is for Daming's horse leather shroud, I will laugh out loud in the underworld!" ”

Zhao led to listen to the tune that the two of them sang was high! A little angry, "What do you mean, am I Zhao Shujiao disloyal to the emperor?" Give me 10,000 iron horses, the emperor wants me to fight Shenyang, I will go without saying a word! ”

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied with the statements of several people, especially Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui, in fact, these three people are loyal and upright generals of the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to squeeze Zhao Shujiao, and personally pulled the three people up, "All are flat, the three Aiqing are very good!" I am very satisfied, Man Gui and Lu Xiangsheng's enthusiasm for standing resolutely with me, I see it, Lord Zhao is also loyal to me, I know it in my heart! Lord Zhao is for the practical considerations of the imperial court, which is understandable, but, General Zhao, I want to remind you that the strategy of the Ming Dynasty is determined by me! I won't interfere with you too much about specific tactics! Preserve strength, there are tactics to preserve strength, there are desperate tactics, I just hope you understand one thing, Da Ming and I will never collapse lightly! When it's time to fight hard, don't think about saving your strength! In the long run, I have to fight with Jiannu who has more people! Lord Sun Chengzong was taken away, a fundamental reason, I will give you the truth! It's just that I always want to save my strength for me! There are differences in the concept of governing the army and governing the country. In the future, in addition to the Beijing division and some large military important cities, do not build a castle, do not build a Great Wall, the most useless military fortress in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, is the Great Wall! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said it, he gritted his teeth and made Zhao Shujiao's heart sink!

"The veteran fully understands, I, Zhao Led the Sect, sent this old life to the emperor." Zhao Shujiao knelt down heavily and kowtowed three times.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw that the old man still had a sense of resistance, forbearance, and did not send it, he was seeking common ground while reserving differences! It is no longer possible to indiscriminately take down veterans like Zhao Shujiao, which will chill the soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui were both moved by Zhao Shujiao, in fact, they all knew that Zhao Shujiao's heart was good, and he was the most brave in battle, and they admired him very much, Man Gui interjected, "Your Majesty, the three sides and Jimen are handed over to General Zhao, and there will definitely be no more garrison collapse in the future, and I, Man Gui, am willing to pack tickets for General Zhao." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen once again helped Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao up, "I believe that the two old generals, please get up quickly, you understand my thoughts, you must resolutely stand with my thoughts, this is from the heart of loyalty and patriotism, not just from the lips." ”

Zhao Shujiao wiped away the old tears, the concept is different, and must be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, it is very painful, listen to the emperor's meaning, when it is time to send troops to assist Lin Dan Khan, it is sure to resolutely send troops, but, the army of the Ming Dynasty, can cross the Great Wall to fight? He would never dare to agree with such a crazy idea, because he is a veteran who has dealt with Jiannu all his life! (To be continued......)
