The Zhu family was so generous that they not only gave the people of the existing land outside the Guanxi to the Wu family, but even as long as the Wu family recovered Quang Ninh, there was a legal basis and they could occupy their land as a matter of course. As for Guangning, if you go over, you have to destroy Jiannu first, and Wu Sangui won't gnaw on this bone. Li Zicheng wants to dig more walls, so he can only give the land in the Guannai. In fact, Shanhaiguan was already occupied by Wu Sangui, and it was impossible for him to withdraw.

Only then did Li Zicheng understand the meaning of "thorns in the back".

“bixia。” Gu Junen saw Li Zicheng's hesitation, and said, "Wu Sangui is bound to be my enemy." In the bitter cold land outside the gate, there was a great drought, and there was no harvest. In the past, there was a salary and a true color, and it was still maintained, but now that Zhu Ming has fallen and the new policy of the dynasty is revived, it is naturally impossible to give him food and salary. In the opinion of the ministers, Wu Sangui was bound to enter the customs and occupy the land and plunder the people. ”

Li Zicheng listened to Gu Junen's words, but remembered that Niu Jinxing persuaded him under the city to "cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again", and it was difficult to make a decision in his heart for a while. He asked Tian Jianxiu: "If it is not suitable for the southern expedition, how about the imperial expedition to the east?" ”

Tian Jianxiu pondered for a while, and said: "The east side is too close to the Jingshi, and it is indeed a problem for the henchmen, and it cannot be eliminated." The minister asked Bixia to send a message to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, if it didn't work, then send Wang Shi to recover Shanhaiguan and block the enemy from closing the gate. In the south, Dong Xueli can lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to the south, and it may be decided that the Zhu family will be able to survive. ”

Li Zicheng finally heard an idea of both, and applauded: "It's so good, I ordered Dong Xueli to go south!" By the way, Liu Fangliang told him that the overall situation has been decided, and he must not slaughter the city for revenge after Baoding is defeated! Now the world and all the people are in great order! ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded yes, and said, "Bixia, who will you send to collect Tianjin Sanwei?" ”

"You can run it yourself." Li Zichen pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid Prince Zhu has already fled." ”

Li Zicheng did not guess wrong this time, not only Prince Zhu had already boarded the ship and went to sea. The old farmers, craftsmen, shipwrights, sailors, and even the accumulated ship materials, bows and arrows and other important military materials have also been transported to the ship and sent to Denglai one by one.

Cattle brought from Beijing and good horses from Nanhaizi were also boarded at the port of Tianjin. Since the development of the Wanli Dynasty, Tianjin has always been an important town for war preparedness. It's almost a big arsenal. Its shipbuilding capacity is also second only to Guangdong, and it can build various types of ships. Stored ship materials and skilled boatmen and sailors are rare treasures.

Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Laizhou a few days earlier than Zhu Cihong, and knew that his son was in Beijing to deal with the aftermath, but he only felt that he was useless as a king and a father. He not only hoped that Zhu Cihong could defend Beijing, claim the emperor's ascension, and make himself an emperor with the water, but he was afraid that the prince would really do such a thing. This ambivalence tormented Chongzhen all the time, making him toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

Until Zhu Cihong returned to Laizhou.

"Father Bixia." Zhu Cihong saw Chongzhen receiving him in the main hall of Laizhou Mansion. I feel a little happy.

Chongzhen's face was blank: "You still have my father in your eyes!" ”

"Father, the matter is in a hurry, and the power ......" Zhu Cihong thought that Chongzhen blamed him for ruining the emperor's reputation, and was about to explain, only to hear Chongzhen shout and ask: "What's the matter with King Feng Guangning!" ”

"Oh, it's just in Wu Sangui's hands first." Zhu Cihong was not impressed by the emperor's coercion: "If you just seal Uncle Hou, whether it is Li Thief or Dongyu, you can offer a higher price." Wu Sangui is not a loyal martyr, so he can't withstand such temptation. ”

"You give him a knighthood. Will he just hold on? ”

"If he doesn't even want anything of his own, he surrenders with an iron heart. No one can do anything about that. Zhu Cihong spread his hands: "But I believe that with Wu Sangui's ambition, I'm afraid he won't be satisfied." In this way, he and Li Zicheng will have a battle, and our army happens to gather lessons in Shandong and try to recover. ”

"Our army? Just 3,000 soldiers in your hands? Chongzhen wondered.

"Speaking of which, the Guanning army is only 3,000 people." Zhu Cihong said.

"Ha, you're a kid!" Chongzhen laughed angrily: "Guanning has 30,000 horses." There are only 3,000 fighters! That's Wu Xiang's righteous son, Wu Sangui's brother, treated very well, so he can get death! Can your guard battalion be so wary? ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Ordered Xiao Mo to be handsome to Li Zicheng." ”

The guards outside the door immediately went to order Xiao Mo and asked him to bring the captured Shuai Xuan to meet him. Chongzhen only felt incredible when he heard it. "Don't fool me with something!" Soldiers, militaristic events! Not a kid's game. I intend to hand over your East Palace guard battalion to Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong......"

"Humble Xiao Mo to meet Bixia!" Xiao Mo strode in, only to hear that the emperor wanted to seize the power of the crown prince. He saw that he was ruining the stars, where did he care about the monarchs and ministers, and the big horse golden knife stepped forward with the military salute of the East Palace, and the two personal soldiers behind him held Li Zicheng Shuaixu, and they were also murderous.

Chongzhen had never been offended like this, and suddenly remembered Zhu Cihong's so-called "military advice" before, and the ministers who had not been able to see outside since he arrived in Laizhou, and an incredible feeling rose in his heart - I was under house arrest by my son! I'm really going to be the emperor!

Zhu Cihong ordered someone to unfold Shuaixu, regardless of whether Chongzhen believed it or not, but said: "This Shuaixu is indeed Li Thief's." In the battle on the river that day, it was Xiao Mo who led the guards to rush to the battlefield at the risk of death, beheaded the generals to capture the flag, and forced back more than 30 miles of Li Thief. ”

"As you say, it's good to spend so much and rice is good, why did you lose Shanxi!" Chongzhen still has a natural coercion over his son, and scolded loudly.

Zhu Cihong was helpless and turned to the staff officer of the Military Command Department: "Hold a military meeting for colonel-level officers, and invite Wu Fu, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yingqi, Zhou Yuji, You Shiwei, and Li Changling to attend." ”

Chongzhen listened to the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar names reported by the crown prince, and then looked at his son's calm and calm posture, and he actually felt a sense of separation. After a while, people from the General Affairs Department of the Chinese Army brought the Shandong sand table, hung up the enlarged map of Huang Mingkun, and arranged the seats for the officers who came to participate in the military meeting.

Because of the different locations, all the officers who have positions cannot come, and they may not be able to come immediately. Wu Fu, Sun Chuanting, and Zhou Yingqi worked in the private house diagonally opposite the government office, and they came quickly. They were prepared to meet the emperor, and they were quite calm. However, Zhou Yuji, You Shiwei, and Li Changling were a little surprised and panicked when they saw the emperor, and they were caught off guard and bowed.

Chongzhen sat in the main hall, and there were attendants standing on the left and right, just like a small court. He was about to open his mouth to say a few words, when suddenly his eyes flickered, and it turned out that Zhu Cihong was blocking in front of him.

Zhu Cihong turned his back to the emperor and cleared his throat: "Now start the military discussion." First of all, I would like to state that what we see and hear today must be kept secret, and those who leak it will not be forgiven. Alright, let's start the military discussion. ”

Chongzhen listened to it and said in his heart: Since you want to make trouble, see how you make trouble. Do you really say a word of secrecy, and these people won't dare to talk more? Children's view!

He didn't know that the East Palace had a secrecy ordinance early on, and those who couldn't keep their mouths shut would have been naturally eliminated after the double screening of the ten-person regiment and the military judge. At present, when new recruits join the army, the first thing is to memorize various regulations, and the confidentiality regulations are the most important.

"Shenjing has fallen, the thieves have occupied Beijing, and what we need to discuss today is the next move of the thieves and the plan of our army." Zhu Cihong looked around: "You are all the backbone of the East Palace, and the emperor must have thought about it." ”

Chongzhen already had the intention of watching the jokes, but he couldn't think of how to turn the tide, so he had to glance at the military general. Such as Wu Fu You Shiwei and others, he has an impression and is even very familiar, but the officers of the East Palace are all fresh faces, and they only vaguely remember the names of a few people. And it was these officers, each sitting upright, with bent arms supporting bright helmets, their eyes unturned, and their spirits full.

This is the military appearance trained by the pin on the collar, as long as the head is turned around, it will be stung, and no one will move again for half a month at most.

In the East Palace Military Council, the seats are not arranged according to the number of the ministry, but by the rank of the military. This can promote the contact between the different parts and provide a human basis for the future movement of large forces. At the moment, according to the tradition of the East Palace, the statement is made by those with low ranks. Most of these major officers are staff officers and generals, and their level varies from high to low, and their presentation time also varies. Zhu Cihong didn't urge them, let them play, unless he was really slurred, and he could only talk before someone quietly stepped forward to remind them. (To be continued......)
