Chapter 426 mentions knighthood again

Wu Yingdian, when he faced Lu Xiangsheng, the main battle faction again, Gao Qiqian, the lord and Gao died, and Chen Xinjia was outside, not knowing that the Qing army had been defeated and ran away. There is only one Yang Sichang left, even if he has a thousand mouths, there is nothing to say at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the silent Yang Sichang and remembered Chen Xie's words: "The winner is not condemned!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do next in the current situation?" Zhu Youzhen's mood has never been so good, and the smile on his face has never stopped.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen said before leaving, at the current moment, Ann is the best. Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, repeated generations, cannot be trusted. When besieged with heavy troops, they were forced to disband. Xiong Wencan's act of only appeasing him and letting him rest comfortably will inevitably cause trouble again, and he must not fail to investigate. Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and spoke with a wat board in his hand.

Yang Sichang's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he stared at the floor without speaking. These words seem to affirm his peace of mind first, but they are actually digging a hole and burying people. Xiong Wencan was recommended by Yang Sichang, once the mistake was appeased, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others rebelled, and in the current situation, Yang Sichang will fall into a situation from which he will never recover. It's very simple, the emperor can do without him, and someone else can use it. Lu Xiangsheng can use it, Chen Xie can also use it, and even Yang Tinglin can use it.

Chongzhen is the emperor, he has no other skills, and these members of the cabinet are in good control. The previous cabinet was dominated by Yang Sichang, and now this cabinet has undergone fundamental changes.

After the resurrection, Zhou Yanru's biggest opponent is now Yang Sichang. He has been staring at Yang Sichang's problem. But there is one point, Zhou Yanru couldn't speak, because Yang Sichang advocated peace, he didn't speak, and acquiesced. If you want to count the responsibility, he also has a share, and even the emperor has a share.

"Lu Qing's play, I am accurate. The outer court should make corresponding arrangements to ensure that Zhang, Luo and others do not rebel again. Zhu Youzhen agreed very simply, and now he trusts the person the most. It's probably Chen Xie. Now that's just the opening point. There's something else to say.

"Chen Sihua, the minister, thanked His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to be gracious, and the quasi-minister returned to his hometown to guard his filial piety. The minister is an unknown person, and this time he intends to repay the country with death. Thanks to Chen Sihua, he led his troops to help. Save your life. Now the Qing army is retreating. His Majesty can consult Chen Sihua on major military affairs. Ministers are no longer of great use in the court. Pray for filial piety to return home. "Lu Xiangsheng is here again, and he wants to go home to keep filial piety.

This time, Zhu Youzhen hesitated a little and then nodded: "Lu Qing, I can't help you." Saying this in front of hundreds of officials, it can be seen that Zhu Youzhen is sincere at the moment. A person with a character like Lu Xiangsheng was naturally moved and knelt on the ground: "Thank you!" ”

Liu Yuliang has already gone home, Yang Sichang has also stopped eating because of the wrong route, Zhou Yanru has almost nothing, and he is about to sit in the position of first assistant. At this time, he had to make a move to push this thing forward.

"Your Majesty, Chen Sihua has made great contributions to the world, and he deserves to be a marquis." Zhou Yanru stood up and said something that fell on Zhu Youzhen's heart. Zhu Youzhen is actually very reluctant to give a knighthood to a military general, for many reasons. is mainly a military general of the Ming Dynasty, who has made no achievements in foreign wars, which makes Zhu Youzhen unwilling. But Chen Xie is different, really different.

"Zhou Qing said well, if I don't seal the marquis, I won't be able to get over it in my heart." When it comes to this, naturally no one will come out to oppose it. There was no way to object, but Yang Sichang still seized a loophole and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since you are the marquis of Chen Sihua, how should you deal with his position as governor of Shandong?" ”

Zhu Youzhen is also stupid, yes, Chen Xie is now a Wenchen. Since he has been knighted as a civil servant, he must also make adjustments in his position. The question is, Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to let Chen Xie leave Shandong?

"Your Majesty, Chen Sihua is shallow in Shandong, and over time, it is not difficult to create another Denglai. It is advisable to continue in the position of governor and save it for future rewards. "How smart Zhou Yanru is, he immediately stood up and spoke, blocking Yang Sichang. Shandong, do you want to think about Shandong? Don't make people uncomfortable. Who can reach into Shandong now?

Zhou Qing said well, in this way, Chen Sihua continued to serve as the governor of Shandong, and led the post of governor of Shandong, Liaodong, Dongjiang, Dengzhou, and Caoyun. Add the rank of squire of the military department, and ...... knighted? Zhu Youzhen groaned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Seal ......." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate to be knighted now, Chen Sihua has already advanced eastward, once Shenyang is conquered again, how can His Majesty be crowned?" Yang Sichang still has one last chance, so he must seize it. Wen Chen sat in his position, and it was a lie that he didn't want to go up. But there are so many seats, once Chen Xie is knighted, then the previous military order is equivalent to writing in vain. As long as Chen Xie can't take Shenyang, he can make a fuss about this matter.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Yang Sichang in surprise, remembered the matter of the military order, and hesitated a little in his heart. Yes, Chen Xie's current credit is indeed great, but Shenyang is not down, and the military order is a handle.

"Yang Qing thought about Zhou Xiang, I am not right. Let's do this first, and I want to do it. Zhu Youzhen didn't blame Yang Sichang for what he said, but what he said was right. Standing in Chen Xie's position, this title, even if it is in hand, if it does not take down Shenyang, it will be criticized for a lifetime. What's the meaning of this title, Chen Xie is an arrogant person, which Zhu Youzhen thinks.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, in front of Shanhaiguan.

Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang stood in front of the pass to greet each other, and the holy decree caught up with Chen Xie with a fast horse, and now Chen Xie is the governor of the five towns, and Shanhaiguan is in principle at the disposal of Chen Xie. The word Jiliao Inspector is now in the past tense.

Seeing Chen Xie, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang were very respectful, and stepped forward to salute, Chen Xie turned over and dismounted early, supported the two and said: "What's polite, it's all your own people." I, the governor, also have a share of the credit of the eldest uncle. ”

After some politeness, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Xie's tone explained a problem, everyone is still an accomplice in interests. Chen Xie waited for only three people left, and said: "It is a matter of time before Shenyang is conquered, and the key now is who will guard it in the future. ”

When it comes to this, both of them understand it in their hearts. Chen Xie will recommend them to stay outside the gate in the future and continue to be the emperor of the soil. However, the most important thing at the moment is to cooperate with Chen Xie to fight. There are 100,000 Guanning troops, half of which went to Beizhili, Zu Kuan and Zu Dale, who are still in Jingshi at the moment, and the next step is to continue to fight the Liukou. There was no need for Li Chongzhen to stay, but he was a foot soldier and was on his way back. Wu Sangui's 5,000 cavalry came back with him.

The cavalry of the Dengzhou battalion and the infantry of the Shandong battalion rolled eastward through the Shanhai Pass. The Guanning army also moved, and the Dengzhou battalion was responsible for cleaning up Liaodong, and the Guanning army took over the defense and provided grain and grass for the baggage. Chen Xie has brought a lot of baggage, but it is also a good thing that he can solve some problems on the spot. At this time, if you want to be polite, it is estimated that Zu Dashou will have to be anxious with Chen Xie. There will still be thoughts in the heart.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xie arrived in Jinzhou, and the troops rested for a day. It's the New Year, and Chang Shiren's side has a truce. And the news came that Liaoyang had been besieged for a month, and all kinds of preparations were ready, just waiting for Chen Xie to come and launch a general attack.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, on the second day of the first month, Chen Xie led his troops out of Jinzhou, and when he arrived at the Daling River, he did not see a Qing army along the way. I didn't close out at night, and I found out that the surrounding fifty miles had become a no-man's land. The Manchurians have run out, and at present they are mainly concentrated in Quang Ninh, which is close to the steppe.

Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, who accompanied them, saw that the foundation of Dalinghe City was still there, Zu Dashou knelt on the ground and cried. Chen Xie sighed and did not speak. On the sixth day of the first month, Chen Xie went to Liaoyang, and all places along the way were cleaned up by the Dengzhou camp. Dongjiang Town mobilized 100,000 people to build a track and road from Gaizhou to Liaoyang.

In the deserted northeast land, for the first time, not even a single Qing army was seen. Shen Shikui and Jin Riguan led their troops to attack from Phi Dao and sweep the banks of the Yalu River, but the Qing army was fully contracted and did not dare to fight. This kind of battle has never been fought before, and the morale is getting stronger day by day. On the day Chen Xie arrived in Liaoyang, the momentum of the three armies reached its peak.

Chang Shiren held a simple welcome ceremony, not that he didn't want to make it bigger, Chen Xie definitely didn't like it, this was wartime. Chang Shi Ren led the troops to welcome ten miles, and the road was paved with cinder and sprinkled with water. On both sides, there were standing soldiers lined up, one by five, until they reached the gate of the large camp outside the city.

"Greetings to the Overseer!" Chang Shiren didn't dare to take credit, stood up and saluted and answered, and the soldiers behind him stood neatly and upright. Looking up ahead, on both sides of the ten-mile long road, there were tiger divisions built by themselves to guard. After coming to this era for so many years, Chen Xie finally found a feeling of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Chen Xie, who dismounted from a distance, strode forward and solemnly saluted: "Hard work!" Everybody! Behind him were a cadre of officers and guards, standing in unison and saluting.

Seeing Chang Shiren and Wang Ben, Chen Xie didn't mention anything about why he didn't take Liaoyang. The plan for the siege of Liaoyang was determined beforehand, mainly considering the casualties of the troops. The city of Liaoyang, although not too big, has 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and it is not easy to fight. Now that the siege has been around for so long, and it is winter, the problem of heating alone is enough for the Qing army in the city.

Back to the big tent of the Chinese army, the dragons in it were burned, which shows that the preparations for the winter are very thoughtful. In winter, it is undoubtedly the great enemy of the Dengzhou camp, but this winter, there are not a few snowfalls, and the few snows that fall are all small snow that melts when it lands, which shows that God is helping the Dengzhou camp. In the middle of the big tent, a huge sand table was placed, and the current situation was clear at a glance. (To be continued......)
