Tianqi has been the emperor for three years, although there is a carpenter's nickname of the Son of Heaven outside, but after all, it is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the majesty is getting worse day by day.

After Hong Shiji returned from Liaodong, he was immediately announced to the palace.

"Long live the emperor and long live the emperor!"

"Lord Hong, hurry up!" Apocalypse asked eagerly, "Is there any news from Immortal Island, is the old chief dead?" ”

"Qiqi Sheng, it is true, the old chief was hit by cannon fodder and killed in the army on the way to retreat." Hong Shiki said loudly.

"Ancestors and ancestors bless!"

Apocalypse was excited, his eyes were red, his whole body trembled, and he walked on the ground with his fists clenched.

"Dead, finally dead!" Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Hong, the battle on the island must be very tragic, right?" ”

Just wait for this sentence!

Hong Fu sighed and said slowly: "Shengshang, it's not just tragic, Zhang Shaobao brought the chief soldier Yu Weiliang and the deputy chief soldier Qiao Fu, plus the personal guards, artillery and sailors, a total of more than 15,000 people, and when Weichen went, there were only more than 11,000 left, of which more than 2,000 were still Liu Xingzuo's surrender army. ”

"So Zhang Shaobao's subordinates are less than 10,000 people, and the loss is more than 30%?" Apocalypse asked in surprise.

He only knew that Zhang Ke was fighting hard, but he didn't care much about the loss, and now he suddenly heard about it, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Majesty, as the so-called killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, not to mention that Zhang Shaobao faced five times the enemy's army, defeated the enemy, and killed the chieftain, looking at the scenery, but it has already hurt his vitality, not only others, but even Zhang Ke ......"

"What's wrong with Zhang Shaobao?" Apocalypse asked anxiously.

"He was injured in more than ten places, and when he went, he was still bedridden - woo woo woo - " mixed up a lot in the officialdom, and Mr. Hong also entered the ranks of the acting school, crying when he said he cried, without ambiguity at all.

"So, what about Zhang Shaobao now? I immediately sent a few imperial doctors to treat him. ”

"The minister Zhang Ke thanked the saint for his good intentions, but the minister brought the best gold sore medicine, and Zhang Shaobao was already safe."

"That's good!"

Apocalypse nodded, and then his eyes widened again.

"Lord Hong, is there a shortage of medicinal herbs on the island?"

Hong Shiki hurriedly said: "It's not just medicinal materials, more than a month of war, the sea and the frozen island, everything has been consumed, not to mention the medicine, the soldiers can only eat horse meat to maintain." Ministers, ministers, if you go a few days late, I'm afraid that these soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the country will starve to death! ”

Hong Shiki cried and worshiped on the ground, tears falling on the gold bricks in front of him.

The main hall suddenly became unusually quiet, and the Apocalypse sat without saying a word.

In front of him, a young figure appeared, withstanding injuries and eating stiff horse meat, fighting bloodily, and finally killing the old chief. Gradually, the figure became blurred, and soon it became a large patch again.

There is more than one person, but tens of thousands of strong men!

Thinking of this, Tianqi's face suddenly turned red, and he was a little ashamed.

The country is the country of his Zhu family, there is a group of people who are working hard in the front, as the Son of Heaven, he is suspicious of them, and he actually sits back and watches the officials under him delay the military salary, almost causing a catastrophe!

Tianqi was silent for a long time, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Go and call Wei Daban over!" ”

……

Tianqi felt guilty about Zhang Ke, and immediately asked Lao Wei to send Dongchang to investigate who had seized the soldiers' salaries and severely punished them.

In addition, Tianqi resolutely decided to reward Zhang Ke, and at the imperial meeting, Tianqi even shouted out the words of Yixing as the king, which frightened everyone.

In fact, Wang Jue was also a quick apocalypse, so he had to take a step back and build a pun to the prince.

Several scholars in the cabinet looked at each other, but still couldn't agree.

The reason is very simple, although the old slave is dead, but Jiannu is still there, and how to reward Liaoshen in the future, now that he has been crowned the prince of the country, won't he still want to be crowned king in the future?

The second assistant Zhu Guozuo mentioned that he was named an earl, but Wei Guangwei disagreed, Li Chengliang was named Pingliao Bo, and in terms of merit, Zhang Ke was much better than Li Chengliang, not to mention killing the old chieftain, how could an earl be commended.

After some quarrels, the Marquis of Dingliao was finally determined.

It was supposed to be a happy thing, but something went wrong.

The Ministry of Rites believes that rewarding the Marquis is a great thing, and every Qiē must be in accordance with the number of rites, summoning Zhang Ke to Beijing, thanking the emperor, and giving the Danshu gold book to the saints, and all the formalities.

Through the knighthood ceremony, the envoys of various countries were convened to observe the ceremony, showing the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

The cabinet is very interested in this mention, several scholars don't want to toss anything, they just want to take the opportunity to transfer Zhang Ke into the capital, and when they arrive in the capital, it is equivalent to a tiger in a cage, and how to deal with it depends on their minds!

Of course, they don't want to be Qin Hui yet, but Zhang Ke's power is getting bigger and bigger, and they must beat it up, take advantage of his entry into Beijing, divide and win over the generals under him, and take back the military power.

The young man has the ambition and pays homage to the marquis.

Throughout the ages, this is the most glorious thing, I don't believe that Zhang Ke is not fooled!

The cabinet was full of confidence, but Zhang Ke gave them a soft nail.

Half a month after Hong Fu returned to Beijing, Zhang Ke sent a note, in which he wrote in detail the next combat strategy.

Zhang Ke carefully analyzed, although the wild boar skin was killed, but his sons were better than their fathers, if the situation is stabilized, the threat of Jiannu will only be greater, so we must seize the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos after the death of the old slave, fight Jiannu, expand strength, especially the first step to launch a counteroffensive to recover.

With Changsheng Island as a base, he captured Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and then went north to take Gaizhou, and obtained the control of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Later, Zhang Ke analyzed the advantages of the two sides in detail, the old chieftain was newly mourned, and the Jiannu group had no leader, although there were 100,000 troops, but it was useless.

Moreover, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Gaizhou and other places are close to the sea, and the Ming army is equal to sea and land, and with the advantage of firearms, it is enough to defeat Jiannu.

Then there is the uprising of the Han people in Liaodong, the spark is still there, as long as the king of the Celestial Dynasty comes, the people will definitely eat the pot pulp and welcome the king.

With all these advantages, if you don't send troops immediately, you're sorry for God's gift.

If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it!

Zhang Ke said at the end of the recital: "Although the minister is disabled, he will not hesitate to die, be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, report to serve the emperor's grace, and rescue the Li people. If Weichen unfortunately dies on the battlefield, the rest of the generals should work together to recover the great cause, and not return to the entire territory of Liaodong, shame for Liaodong children! The heart of the micro-minister can learn from the sun and the moon. I implore my emperor to check the heart of Weichen's fist, and the minister is grateful. ”

When you enter the capital, you are equivalent to falling into a quagmire, don't think about getting out again. How could Zhang Ke be fooled.

In order to force the court to submit, Zhang Ke mobilized a large number of people, including his brother-in-law Deng Wentong, who together spread speech, influenced public opinion, and raised the enthusiasm of the scholars.

For example, "The old slave is dead, and the Jiannu is a plate of loose sand, and he should be pursued by victory." ”

"The people of Liaodong are wailing and crying, looking forward to it, and the king is coming."

"Jiannu was cruel and unkind, and the slave chieftain gave birth to three children every day, and his compatriots were reduced to hell, howling and crying all day long."

……

All kinds of remarks are gathered together, and there are nothing more than two sentences, "Da Ming should send troops!" "Jiannu is not difficult to deal with!"

The literati have always been easy to fool the sentimental party, and the scholars who dreamed of helping the world knew that Jiannu was so hateful and the people were so pitiful, and it coincided with a great victory, and their morale was high. They gathered together, wrote a book of 10,000 words, played the imperial court, and asked for all the troops to be sent to rescue Lishu in Liaodong.

As soon as they moved, those officials couldn't wait to jump out, and they even said that they would give Zhang Ke the power to open the mansion and build teeth, directly appoint and dismiss officials, select talents and talents, and level Liaodong in one go.

And at this time, another piece of music was also sent to the apocalypse, and the person who played it was also extremely heavy, that is, the cabinet scholar, the emperor Sun Chengzong.

Mr. Sun has been out of the customs for more than two months, investigating and visiting everywhere to check the people's situation and the military situation.

After some deliberation, he finally came up with his masterpiece.

In the folds, Sun Chengzong strongly advocated a counterattack on Jiannu, but his direction was different from Zhang Ke's, and Mr. Sun built fifty castles, beacon towers, and several dunges between the Daling River and the Sancha River. Build a defensive line of 200 miles, hoard 150,000 elite soldiers, choose the opportunity to capture Liaoshen, and complete its work in one battle.

Mr. Sun's recital perfectly embodies the three big characters and the big pattern! Massive! Big consumption is also included!

Such a project is not to be made without tens of millions of silver...... R1152
