Emperor Chongzhen in the Wuying Hall and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty all looked at the disheveled Dongchang Admiral, the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and the eunuch Wang Dehua with disbelief eyes.

"Shandong governor Liu Lishun reported that the Manchurian soldiers of the Red Banner of Penglai Hou opened the west gate of Shenyang by deception, and Shenyang was immediately broken by our Shandong army, after that, Penglai Hou threatened with the Han army banner in the city, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, who returned to the division with Hong Tai, led the troops anyway, and Penglai Hou attacked each other with all the soldiers in the city, in the melee, the Eastern Capture was killed and wounded countless times, and the slave chief Hong Tai was also captured and killed by Penglai Hou."

"According to Liaodong news, it is under the head of Hongtai, who is serving in the east of the country, and 86 generals and Zuo, including Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Namutai and Leng Geri, were all captured or killed by our Shandong army, and only the pseudo-Qingrui Prince Dolgon, Yu Prince Duoduo and Wuying County King Azig were left."

"Princess, can you take the report seriously?"

Looking at Wang Dehua, who was overjoyed, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was shocked by this terrifying news, Fan Fucui, the first assistant of the cabinet, had to ask questions.

"Whether it is true or not, the old slave does not know, but Liu Lishun said that Penglai Hou has returned to the division with Huang Taiji's jade seal and imperial flag, and at the same time, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming also led the army to return south, so I can't fake this matter."

As the second person in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dehua is also a person with eight faces, it is one thing to report good news, and it is another thing to take responsibility for others.

"Penglai Hou can bring back Huang Taiji's imperial flag and big seal, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming can do it anyway, I think Liu Lishun's report should be true, do you talk about Penglai Hou still have the strength to rescue Jinzhou?"

Chongzhen Huo suddenly rose, his eyes were full of light, Shenyang was restored, and Huang Taiji died, which made him see the hope of restoring the whole Liao.

"Your Majesty, when Penglai Hou set out on the expedition, he only carried a total of 100,000 stones, grain and grass, and tens of thousands of troops have been away for nearly two months, and the old minister is afraid that Penglai Hou is also more than willing and not enough!"

Although Fan Fucui was also shocked by Li Xingzhi's recovery of Shenyang and the capture of Huang Taiji, he was obviously much more rational than Chongzhen, Li Zicheng caused trouble in the Central Plains, which was to cut off the roots of the Ming Dynasty, and now the top priority is to relieve the siege of Luoyang and Kaifeng.

"What the first man said is very true, since the Dongyu suffered such a big defeat, then Xingshan still instructs Wu Sangui to come to the rescue, spread my will, and immediately send troops to the Central Plains after Penglai Hou returns to Shandong, and the household department will levy taxes for Chongzhen for 16 years according to the meaning of the military department!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Fan Fucui didn't expect that the emperor would agree to Chen Xinjia's suggestion to levy additional taxes.

"Don't have any doubts, Penglai Hou decided Shenyang City in January, and it won't take long to defeat Li Zicheng.

"Alas, the old minister obeys!"

The emperor's meaning was already obvious, and Fan Fucui did not dare to oppose it too much, so he had to reluctantly accept Chongzhen's holy decree.

"Okay, Penglai Hou has annihilated 30,000 enemies since October, captured and killed the slave chieftain Huang Taiji and Daishan, and restored Shenyang, what should you do to discuss the merits?"

Liaodong's battle report obviously restored Chongzhen's spirit a lot, and he stepped down from the imperial case, looking at the courtiers in front of him with anticipation.

Now that the vitality of the East is greatly damaged, as long as Li Zicheng, the culprit of the Central Plains, is eliminated, then the Ming Dynasty will really have a chance of revival.

"Your Majesty, does the old minister think that it is a little early to discuss merit now, my court's military ministers count merit by the first level, should we wait for the Penglai Marquis to discuss the dragon banner of Huang Taiji and the Great Seal to present the Jiejing Division?"

Fan Fucui and Zhang Sizhi spoke at the same time, Li Xingzhi is now the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and at the end of the year, he will marry the county lord of King Fu.

Although they have political discord, they also know that in the end, there will be no reward and no seal, and it will definitely be another bloody storm.

"Bastard, Penglai Hou went to Liaodong this time, did not use a single grain or a penny of silver from the country, and it all relied on local allocation in Shandong. And how to make Penglaihou wholeheartedly eliminate the chaotic party for the country? ”

Chongzhen has been disappointed in the courtiers in front of him, the battle of Songjin, the country worked hard to raise nearly three million food, but was defeated by the Dongyu, the 130,000 army only fled back to 70,000, the governor of Jiliao was trapped in Songshan, Li Xingzhi only used 100,000 stone grain to defeat Shenyang, such loyal and brave courtiers do not give rewards, do you want to reward Wu Sangui and Wang Pu for those wastes who escaped from the battle?

"Pass on my oracle, add Li Xingzhi as the Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion Zuodu, take charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, grant the Son of Heaven Sword, officials below the fifth grade, not martial arts, Penglai Hou has the right to execute with the Son of Heaven Sword, officials above the fifth grade, Penglai Hou has the right to suspend and impeach with this sword, the military attache below the third rank of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can be appointed and dismissed by Penglai Hou himself, and the appointment and dismissal of generals above the third rank will be directly presented to me by the General Administration Department, and the cabinet and the celebrant shall not refuse, plus Li Xingzhi's prince Taibao, give gold and arrows, if Penglai Hou can eliminate Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai for me, I will grant him the Duke of Qi!"

"This?"

Fan Fucui, Zhang Sizhi and the ministers in the Wuying Hall were completely shocked, before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once set up the Generalissimo Mansion in order to manage military affairs in a unified manner, which was later changed to the Privy Council, and finally changed to the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

The Dadu Governor's Mansion is in charge of Chinese and foreign military affairs, and has both the right to command troops and the right to transfer troops, and the power is so great that even the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, is worried, so in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Dadu Governor's Mansion to the Five-Army Governor's Office, dispersing the power of the Dadu Governor's Office.

After the Tumubao Incident, the literati group gradually grasped the right to speak in the imperial court, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies also became extinct in name.

Now that the emperor has reopened the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, this is tantamount to depriving the control of the army from the hands of the civilian clique, and once the internal thieves and foreign thieves are resolved, the contradiction between the military ministers and the civilian officials is bound to intensify, and this situation is what they do not want to see, nor do they want to see

"Your Majesty......... Obey the order! ”

Looking at the emperor's resolute eyes, Fan Fucui's words of opposition to his lips couldn't help but retract it, and bowed to Chongzhen, who was slowly pacing in the main hall.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Zhang Sizhi and others also had to obey the emperor's holy decree, they really had no way to object, since Salhu, the civil officials and supervisors were defeated again and again in the war against the Eastern Prisoners, and they really couldn't find a reason to oppose it.

"Okay, since you have all agreed, Wang Chengen, you go to draw up the decree, let the cabinet sign it, and the celebrant will use the seal, I want to make the world clear, don't look at me like this, if you can not spend a penny of food in the country, but also annihilate 30,000 Dongyu, capture and kill the Tartar chieftains, I can also give you additional officials and knights, and even reopen Zhongshu Province."
