Liaodong is the biggest trouble in the Ming Dynasty, gathering hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, consuming millions of food and wages, Sun Ge Lao is in Liaodong for a day, and the Donglin Party holds the most important military power in his hands. As long as the military power is in hand, Lao Wei will not be able to officially declare war on Donglin.

I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, and Sun Chengzong actually lost the battle, which was really unexpected.

Lao Wei almost wanted to jump up, but when he looked at it suddenly, Zhang Ye's face was extremely ugly, and his brain calmed down instantly.

"Father-in-law Zhang, did you lose badly?"

"Alas, it's not just miserable, our family doesn't know how to explain to the master."

At this moment, a small eunuch ran out of the temple.

"Two ancestors, the master told you to go in and talk back!"

The two great eunuchs glanced at each other and hurriedly trotted to the dormitory.

"Long live the slave and maid to see the master."

"Get up, Zhang Daban, Wei Daban, what are you muttering outside?"

"Nothing!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Master, the slaves and maids are discussing how to organize a longevity celebration for their master. ”

"Hehehe!" Apocalypse sneered, "The celebration is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, what are you busy with." Is there any bad news? ”

The two great eunuchs glanced at each other and hesitated.

"Say, if there's any bad news, I can hold on!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ye hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Master Qi, something really happened, ten days ago, Sun Ge Lao sent the chief soldiers Zhao Shujiao and Ma Shilong to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Yaozhou, and as a result, they were ambushed by Jiannu. ”

"Ahh

Apocalypse let out a low breath, and sat up all of a sudden, his movements were in a hurry, and his forehead was all sweaty. Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran over, supported the emperor's waist, and held the pillow against it.

"Don't be busy, hurry up, what's going on?" Apocalypse pressed his hand to the edge of the bed, and his nails were white.

"Qi master, Zhao led the people and horses to run first, Ma Shilong was captured by Jiannu, and then escaped. Of the 10,000 elite soldiers, less than 2,000 remained. Zhang Ye paused, and then said: "The Jiannu soldiers took the opportunity to kill the Sancha River, and the soldiers pointed out that they were already close to Xiping Fort. It seems that there is a great tendency to attack Quang Ninh. ”

After listening to Zhang Ye's words, Tianqi was completely stupid, he has won frequent battles in the past few days, and even he looked down on Jiannu, thinking that even if Sun Chengzong spent more food and manpower, he could still defeat Jiannu. can be a fiasco, but it is like a basin of cold water, waking up the apocalypse.

"Zhang Daban, why did Master Sun lose the battle, do you know?"

"This ...... Judging from the secret protection of Jinyiwei, there are living people who have surrendered fraudulently, saying that Jiannu Dabeile has arrived in Yaozhou, and the defense is empty. Sun Ge Lao sent troops lightly, but the result was a fiasco. ”

Wei Zhongxian asked on the side, "Fiasco?" Didn't Elder Sun Ge train more than 100,000 soldiers, how could he lose a few thousand people and it would be over? These words were actually for the apocalypse, of course Zhang Ye knew it, and he sighed.

"How can it be so easy to train troops, Sun Ge is not familiar with military affairs, and the generals who are allowed to do so are all figures eliminated by the Marquis of Dingliao. They do not understand the essence of military training, and they even recruit troops indiscriminately and use anyone for them, and the consequences are self-evident. Although Sun Ge Lao said that 100,000 soldiers would be conscripted, the actual amount was less than half, and only 10,000 of them could fight. ”

"Ten thousand?" Wei Zhongxian's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he asked in horror, "This, isn't this the annihilation of the entire army?" ”

"That's right, the Jiannu army is crossing the river quickly, and the miscellaneous people and horses are scattered, I'm afraid that Xipingbao and other places won't be able to stand it."

"Say no more!" Apocalypse suddenly roared, causing the two great eunuchs to kneel on the ground.

"Zhang Daban, I ask you, Master Sun's defeat, did the Marquis of Dingliao do anything about it? Tell me the truth! ”

"Master Qiqi, the old slave dares to say, absolutely not" Zhang Ye knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Sun Ge always suddenly sent troops, no one knows." After learning about the situation, the Marquis of Dingliao also sent people to dissuade him, but he didn't know that Sun Ge Lao insisted on going his own way, and Ma Shilong and Zhao Shujiao were incompetent, which caused a fiasco! ”

When Apocalypse heard this, he lay down on the dragon bed, gasping for breath. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Wei Daban, do you say that Master Sun really doesn't know how to lead troops?"

"Qi Qi master, Sun Ge Lao is naturally loyal to his master." Wei Zhongxian also learned the trick of lifting high and then falling hard.

"However, the military affairs are not trivial, Sun Ge is only from the Ministry of Rites, he has never led troops, he has never fought a war, and he has not even managed money. Cui Shangshu reported that Sun Ge Lao pointed out that the land should be restored to build a city and build the Great Wall. But he didn't understand that if Jiannu couldn't win the field battle, it would be in vain to build many cities, and Jiannu could attack at will and take what he wanted. ”

In the past, the apocalypse couldn't listen to it, but he couldn't help but believe the defeat in front of him.

After a long silence, Apocalypse sighed.

"Liaodong has failed miserably, since Master Sun can't bear the heavy responsibility, I'm afraid it will be handed over to the Marquis of Dingliao."

"Master, I'm afraid not!" Zhang Ye said in embarrassment: "Master, the main force of Marquis Zhang has been transferred to Jinzhou and other places, and there are less than 20,000 people scattered in Yizhou, Jinzhou and other places, and they are scattered and stationed, if you want to concentrate, I am afraid that it will not be easy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian finally felt a great crisis.

Originally, Zhang Ke's army was stationed in Liaodong, but in order to give Mr. Sun space to exert his strength, he gave Sun Chengzong all the land north of the Daling River. After recovering Jinzhou and other places, he desperately transferred troops, making Liaodong extremely empty.

Originally, I was counting on Mr. Sun's 100,000 army, but now the army has all become flying flowers and leaves, and the castle to be built is even more gone.

Suddenly, Liaodong seemed to have unloaded all his armaments, holding his bare chest and waiting for Jiannu to kill.

In fact, the situation was even worse than they thought, Sun Chengzong had hoarded a large amount of gold, silver, grain, bricks, tiles, wood, livestock and vehicles in order to build the castle......

Valuable materials are scattered in various forts, Jiannu swept in, they can eat the grain of the Ming Dynasty, with the silver of the Ming Dynasty, attack the army of the Ming Dynasty! Perfectly staged a battle to feed the war.

After realizing the danger, Apocalypse immediately issued an order and convened the six cabinet ministries to discuss countermeasures.

For three days in a row, no one could hold the idea, those who supported Sun Chengzong also advocated letting Sun Ge Lao turn the tide, some supported Zhang Ke to take charge of the army and clean up the mess, and some people thought that Zhang Ke had been transferred away, and now he was hastily transferred back, and the face of the court was not good-looking.

Everyone scrambled and couldn't agree with each other, but when an eight-hundred-mile expedited delivery came, everyone in the capital was dumbfounded.

After the Ming army suffered a crushing defeat at Liuhe, the Tartars took the opportunity to attack in a big way, and the forward went straight to Xiping Fort. The original guard of Xiping Fort, He Shixian, was transferred, and now it is the chief soldier Luo Zhengyi, this person is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but his troops are too weak, Luo has always looked at the direction of the capital, killed himself, Jiannu killed in the city, and the generals Heiyunhe, guerrilla Li Maochun, Zhang Mingxian, etc. were killed one after another.

In addition, the reinforcements sent by Sun Chengzong, Zu Dashou and Bao Chengxian, had not yet arrived at Xiping Fort, when they heard that Xiping Fort was lost, they turned around and fled, but they were chased by Jiannu, Zu Dashou fled, and Bao Chengxian died in battle.

At this point, almost all the tens of thousands of people under Sun Chengzong were killed, and the Jiannu army broke through the defense line one after another, and the army approached Quang Ninh.

Spending millions of silver and painstakingly managing the defense line, instead of being impregnable, it has become a tofu dregs that is about to collapse. Now, no one dares to speak to Sun Chengzong anymore.

The Yan officials of the Six Sections and Thirteen Dao have prepared enough bullet seals to drown Sun Ge Lao in one fell swoop.

The officials sharpened their knives, but the cabinet and the celebrant couldn't put the blame on Sun Chengzong. They also have to figure out how to save Liaodong from defeat.

In fact, there is no need to think about it, looking at all the generals, only Zhang Ke, the Marquis of Dingliao, has the ability to deal with Jiannu, and he has repeatedly created miracles, and now he can only rely on him to turn the tide.

But everyone suddenly remembered that Zhang Houye had just been transferred, and now what benefits should be given to make Zhang Houye take action?

Many people wrote and strongly recommended Zhang Ke to be fully responsible for the war in Liaodong. Some people even built a title of Zhang Ke as the hereditary prince of the country, and used high-ranking officials to stimulate Zhang Ke.

The cabinet is still much more rational than them, and after some intense discussions, they finally came up with a plan. Sun Chengzong was dismissed from the post of governor of Liaodong, and Zhang Ke was added to the title of secretary of the military department, and he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, commanding the military affairs of the whole Liao, and allowing the opening of the government to build teeth, but the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials below the third rank.

Zhang Ke is already a super-grade Dingliao Marquis, and a military secretary is just a second-grade official, which is nothing.

But anyone who understands the Ming official system a little bit will be shocked.

The secretary of the military department is a civilian official, when will it be the turn of the martial artist to do it?

Moreover, the title of Shangshu was added, and it was also the military affairs of the governor of Liao, which completely broke the tradition of using literature to control the military. Coupled with the power to open the government and build teeth, Zhang Ke is equivalent to becoming the king of Liaodong, the emperor of the soil through and through!

When this order came down, some people wanted to oppose it, but everyone knew that Zhang Ke was already the last straw, so let's get past the current hurdle first! R1152
