"How many Liao soldiers does Kong Youde's department have?"

Chongzhen was a little anxious, Kong Youde was in Wuqiao, Hebei, but it was not far from Gyeonggi, if it was not suppressed as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gao Qiqian knew what the emperor was worried about, and hurriedly replied: "Denglai's urgent document said that the Confucian thieves have eight hundred old Liao soldiers and thousands of thieves, and most of them are Hebei civilians who are coerced by Confucian thieves. ”

As soon as he heard that Kong Youde was so a soldier and a horse, and he was a coerced civilian to fill the army, he must have had a very poor combat effectiveness, Chongzhen suddenly put his mind at ease, and then felt angry again, and said angrily: "Eight hundred thieves and soldiers are in chaos, he is going to be in an emergency, what is Sun Yuanhua doing, can he be this governor!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was anxious again, Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, Kong Youde is just a clown, even if the old Liao army responds, there will not be too many soldiers and horses, but if the thieves occupy Dengzhou, it will be difficult to exterminate it." ”

Chongzhen's snort was a little heavy, and he snorted a few times as if he was sulking, and then turned his head and suddenly asked Gao Qiqian: "You know about military affairs, what is the best way to quell the chaos of the Confucian thieves?" ”

Gao Qiqian already had an idea, and blurted out immediately: "The slave maid thinks that he should choose a cadre to supervise the troops to go to the conquest and suppression, transfer the Lu soldiers from Shandong and the Zhejiang soldiers of the Henan Ping Thieves to Qingzhou for unified dispatch, and transfer the local soldiers and horses of Denglai to assist, cut off the road for the Confucian thieves to go west to the north, and force them to be trapped in Denglai. ”

"Hmm." Chongzhen nodded approvingly, and asked him again: "Who do you think can supervise the troops?" ”

Gao Qiqian said with some embarrassment: "Long live Lord, the slave is a minister..."

Chongzhen knew that he was afraid of being accused of interfering in politics by his ministers, and he didn't blame him, so he waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry about it, this is me asking you, if you don't interfere in politics, you can boldly say it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Chongzhen's affirmation, Gao Qiqian said with confidence: "The slave maid thinks that Zhu Dadian, the imperial historian of the right capital, is very talented, and he has made meritorious contributions to resisting the invasion of "Hongmaofan" in Fujian. ”

On the side, Cao Huachun heard that it was Zhu Dadian who was pushed by Gao Qiqian, and snorted secretly, that Zhu Dadian had been very close to Gao Qiqian recently, how did he not know how to do it, I heard that the house outside the palace was given by this Zhu Dadian. Now Gao Qiqian recommends Zhu Dadian to the emperor, and it is not a return for the peach.

Zhu Dadian this person Chongzhen is also a knowledgeable Taoist, this person Wanli forty-four years of Jinshi, during the Apocalypse in Fujian as the right political secretary to participate in politics, resisting the invasion of the Dutch red-haired ghost meritorious, and then met his father mourned Ding for three years, just recovered last year, and is also a capable courtier. At least, compared to the officials of the Donglin Party, this Zhu Dadian is still capable of doing things.

At present, there is no suitable candidate for the post of governor in the court, Chongzhen thought about it, nodded and agreed: "It's okay, the intention is to make Zhu Dadian the governor of Shandong, supervise the Lu soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers in Qingzhou, and dispatch the soldiers to enter and suppress Kong Youde's rebels." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Qi was overjoyed, but he asked for his life loyally: "Long live Lord, the slave is willing to go with Lord Zhu to supervise the army to conquer the Confucian thieves!" ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but be moved, and looked at Gao Qiqian with emotion: "I can't imagine that I have the potential to take the initiative to share the worries of the monarch's father, not to avoid difficulties, not to be afraid of thieves, I am very relieved, okay, I will take you as a eunuch of the prison army, and go to Shandong with Zhu Dadian, look forward to the potential to live up to my hopes, and strangle the thieves early!" ”

"Long live the lord, rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely live up to the holy hope!"

The goal was achieved, not only recommended Zhu Dadian, but also got a good opportunity for himself to make meritorious contributions and make a fortune, Gao Qiqian was so happy that he couldn't wait to find Zhu Dadian, but his face was loyal, as if he could share the emperor's worries, which was what he dreamed of.

Cao Huachun saw his hypocritical look, a little evil, and turned his head away from him.

Chongzhen naturally didn't know what the two slaves and maids of Lu Dao thought in their hearts, and they didn't know the real purpose of Lu Dao Gao Qiqian's recommendation of Zhu Dadian and Ask Ying to go on the expedition, but he felt that Gao Qiqian did not live up to his trust in him, and he was able to stand up and share his worries at a critical time.

He waved his hand tiredly: "I'm tired, you all go down." The hole thief will be handed over to Qi Qian, Jinzhou, and then discuss it when Ming Ri reports in detail. ”

"Slave and maid retire!"

Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian both retreated, and Lu An hurriedly asked Chongzhen where to rest, Chongzhen, who was a little upset by the Liaodong Military Report and the Confucian thief, was no longer in the mood to go to Concubine Tian's, so he rested in the Qianqing Palace that night.

…………

After the final confirmation of the retreat of the Jin army, the gate of Jinzhou City was slowly opened, and Shi Dayong sent people out of the city to cut the head of the Jin army, after distinguishing, there were 2,460 heads of the Han army, 3,572 heads of Manchurian soldiers, and 252 wounded soldiers of the Han army, and 179 wounded soldiers of Manchuria.

The loss of the Ming army was about 1,400 people, and the casualty ratio of the enemy to us was four to one, that is, one Ming army replaced four Jin soldiers.

After seeing the heads of those Jiannu with their own eyes, the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen went to the capital one after another.

There was also bad news that entered Beijing along with the report documents - Zu Dazhen led the military and civilians of Dalinghe City to reduce their money.

However, under the tacit understanding of the military and the government, the messenger of the victory deliberately suppressed the news of the ancestral gold reduction, and the city passed through all the way, only knowing the Jinzhou victory, but no one knew the ancestral gold reduction.

………

"Great victory, great victory, Jinzhou victory, Jinzhou victory! Nearly 10,000 heads were killed! ”

Before dawn, as soon as the gate of Zhengyangmen was opened, more than a dozen horsemen rushed over, and immediately the knights waved the good news in their hands and shouted happily. The beheaded Jin Jun had become nearly 10,000 in their mouths.

"Great victory, great victory! Jinzhou victory, more than 180 slaves and thieves were captured, and they will be sacrificed to His Majesty! ”

At first, the people didn't believe it, but after the batch after batch of messengers rode the horses, the people suddenly boiled, and many young people excitedly followed the fast horses and ran in the direction of the imperial city.

The whole capital has been a sensation.

When the first good news was sent to the Ministry of War, several officials on duty in the Ministry of War were stunned, they knew that Jinzhou had repelled the attack of Jiannu, but no one expected that nearly 10,000 people would be beheaded and more than 100 Jiannu were captured. Scoop the good news over, look left and right, ask and ask, still a little unbelievable, until the second batch, the third batch of good news came, they believed that Jinzhou really won the battle, after reacting, a squire with two Langzhong, a few principals rushed to the imperial city.

The eunuch on duty at the gate of the palace saw a group of officials of the military department running over as if they were being chased by ghosts, and were startled. ”

When the officials who were meeting heard the shouts outside the hall, they all turned around and looked outside the hall in shock, and Chongzhen even raised his throat with a heart, thinking that there was bad news again.

In the main hall, there was a person standing there calmly, neither pricking up his ears to listen to what was being shouted outside, nor turning around to look, only looking at Chongzhen in the main hall fixedly.
