In the face of the frantic offensive of the Dongyu, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was obviously in chaos, and when the cavalry of the Dongyu army approached the area of Niulan Mountain, the Chongzhen Emperor immediately summoned the first assistant minister of the cabinet Liu Yuliang, the second assistant Xue Guoguan, Yang Sichang, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the seal of the celebrant and other court ministers to discuss countermeasures.

In the warm pavilion, the face of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen was pale and terrifying, he didn't understand how the situation could be corroded like this, the war was only more than a month, and the prefectures and counties of Zhou Zuo of the Beijing Division had lost more than ten of them, dozens of generals and general soldiers were killed, and even the Jiliao Governor was martyred in the wall.

Long!

Emperor Chongzhen roared heavily: "The Eastern Capture Army is coming to Gyeonggi, the counties of Beizhili have been lost, the official army has been defeated again and again, and the situation has been eroded to this point, is it a loss of morality?" Or are you not doing your job? ”

"Wait for death!"

A group of court ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Chongzhen's eyes were red, and he shouted violently: "Since you are all dead, then you should die!" ”

The chaotic situation has caused His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to lose his mind.

The emperor's attitude frightened the ministers in the warm pavilion, and they would tremble one by one, kneeling on the ground and not daring to speak.

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, knew that he could not go on like this, otherwise once the emperor was angry, no one could bear the consequences, so he trembled and stood up and played: "Your Majesty, the eastern captives have entered the Kou, and the Jinggi is erosive, the old minister thought that he should immediately declare martial law in Beijing, and then gather all the troops and horses to join the king of Weiqin." ”

Chongzhen's anger rested for a while, and he said: "If according to what the elder said, summon the world's soldiers and horses to guard, then the imperial army must be under unified command, otherwise all armies are not under control, and they will be defeated by each of them!" ”

Yang Sichang, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called outside must first be at home, the elite of the imperial court is now attacking Li Chuang in Shaanxi, if the military horses are removed and enter the Weijing Division, the ministers are afraid that Li Chuang's death will be revived!" ”

Chongzhen listened, thoughtful, he knew Yang Sichang's thoughts, this is to negotiate peace with Dongyu, and first completely solve the problem of Li Zicheng's henchman, but Emperor Chengzu had an ancestral motto back then, "The Son of Heaven guards the country!" "Now that the Donglu is in trouble in Gyeonggi, and millions of people have died tragically under the iron hooves of the Dongyu, if I negotiate peace with the Dongyu, then how can I rule the world?

Fan Fucui, a scholar, said angrily: "The Dongyu ravaged the land of Gyeonggi, it is the trouble of the henchmen, Li Chuangyuan escaped to the Shangluo Mountains, why do you need a large army to encircle and suppress, and as long as you repel the Dongyu, the imperial army can run west, Li Chuang can't meet the soldiers of the ant gathering, and An can resist the blow of my imperial army?" ”

Yang Sichang sneered: "Bachelor Fan's words are wrong, the so-called mountain nine thousands, the success is short, now Li Chuang is just a fish swimming at the bottom of the kettle, if it is not completely eradicated, once the encirclement is highlighted, the achievements of the officers and troops will be abandoned!" ”

Xue Guoguan, the second assistant, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded what Scholar Fan said, now that the Dongyu are ravaging Gyeonggi, the imperial court should think of the people, if the Dongyu is allowed to do evil, what prestige does the imperial court have?" ”

Yang Sichang was originally a secretary of the Ministry of War, because the year before last he coordinated the formulation of the strategy of four positive six corners and ten networks, annihilated the main force of the rogue in one fell swoop, and won the trust of Chongzhen, this year's Shaanxi war report came, and Emperor Chongzhen awarded him as a cabinet assistant, which is obviously Yang Sichang as the future cabinet chief assistant training.

Although Xue Guoguan is over fifty years old, but he still has an upward heart, now Liu Yuliang is the first minister, but the emperor obviously does not trust him, originally with his qualifications, it is a sure thing to take over the first assistant, and now Yang Sichang has sprung up, which makes Xue Guoguan very worried, so he personally appeared for Fan Fucui to stand on the platform.

With Xue Guoguan's platform, Xue Guoguan's henchmen such as Wang Qiyan, the scholar of Zhongshu, and Cai Yishen, the waiter, played one after another, seconding the proposal of Fan Fucuiqin Wang to attack slaves.

Not long after Yang Sichang entered the cabinet, the connections of the imperial court were obviously not as good as Xue Guoguan, so he had to return to this column.

Although Chongzhen agreed with Yang Sichang's proposal to make peace with Jiannu from Yang Sichang's suggestion, he asked: "Xue Ge Lao, according to your opinion, who can preside over the overall situation and resist the Dongyu." ”

Xue Guoguan had already had a draft, and immediately played: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng, the former governor of Xuanda, is brave and decisive, and he should be the army of the president and the king of Qin, and drive the east to the mainland!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng word Jiandou, the second year of the Apocalypse, although he is a scholar, but the martial arts are exquisite, known as Tao Strategy, Chongzhen two years, the East captives into Kou Jinggi, Lu Xiangsheng organized more than 10,000 township party into Beijing Qin Wang.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiang ascended out of the town of Daimyo, Guangping, Shunde and other prefectures, and established the Tianxiong Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the repeated defeat of the peasant army, he was awarded the title of Governor of Xuanda for his merits, Chongzhen seven years, Lu Xiangsheng defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Chongzhen eight years is to exterminate the troubled world at that time, known as the king of Gao Yingxiang, because of merit promoted to the military department.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, due to the death of his father's illness, Lu Xiangsheng asked to return to his hometown, but Chongzhen did not allow it, and Lu Xiangsheng continued to play several times and asked to return to his hometown according to the system.

Lu Xiangsheng is loyal and brave and does not covet power, so Xue Guoguan has no scruples in recommending Lu Xiangsheng.

Yang Sichang heard that Xue Guoguan actually recommended Lu Xiangsheng, but he was worried, this Lu Xiangsheng will win the battle, and he will conquer, if he repels the Dongyu, his status in the emperor's mind will be greatly reduced, and he thought that he was isolated in the court, so he played: "If Lu Butang returns to Beijing, the minister thinks that he can be stationed in Xuanda, and the governor Qin Jun will enter the guard, so it is better to transfer Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, to return to Beijing to take office." ”

Chongzhen also agreed with the use of Lu Xiangsheng, and immediately issued an order: "In this way, I will order Lu Xiangsheng to return to Beijing to preside over the capture of the prisoner." ”

When Lu Xiangsheng was mourning at home, he heard the edict of the Son of Heaven, and said to his wife: "Obeying the king's order is to be loyal, and mourning at home is to be filial. ”

On the fourth day of October, Chongzhen summoned Lu Xiangsheng in Wuyingdian and asked him about his strategy. Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty ordered the ministers to supervise the division, and the ministers will fight the main battle." After Chongzhen listened to Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts, he was silent for a while, and then said, "The imperial court has not been cloud-fumed, and the cloud-fussing is the ear of the outer court, so you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard that the emperor did not have the heart of peace, so he said: "The eastern captives entered Kou Jinggi, before entering Beijing, the ministers knew all the battle reports everywhere, and the ministers asked the troops to be stationed in Changping, so that the west can attack the puppet king Yuetuo department, and the east can attack the puppet king Dolgon's department, and it can also be coordinated according to the situation. ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed, and then added it as the secretary of the military department, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, and awarded the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the president of the king of all walks of life, and attacked the east together.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng swore in Beijing, personally led more than 10,000 Tianxiong soldiers into Changping, Chongzhen in order to boost morale, specially allocated 30,000 taels of silver, and rewarded the three armies with 100 jars of wine.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the emperor was so trusted, but he was concerned about the left and right, and the Son of Heaven rewarded you for your merits, and he wanted to make us wait to serve the country to the death.
