"Father-in-law, long time no see."

Shen Yichen leaned over with a smile on his face and bowed to Cheng Jing.

"Young Sima, it's been a long time."

Cheng Jing saw that it was Shen Yichen coming, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

After all, speaking seriously, the two can now be called a great friendship, and for Shen Yichen's ability and courage, Cheng Jing has always held an appreciative attitude, thinking that this son will inevitably become a generation of famous ministers in the future.

"Cheng's father-in-law, the lower officials have something to ask for, I don't know if it can be convenient?"

For Cheng Jing, Shen Yichen knew the other party's temperament, so he didn't have any twists and turns, and went straight to the point.

"Young Sima is polite, just say something directly."

"The Mongol Taishi also led the army of his headquarters first and withdrew in the northeast direction. Xia Guan thought that their goal was not just to make a detour back to Mobei, but also planned to unite the Jurchen Sanbu and the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to launch an attack on Liaodong of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"As the saying goes, soldiers are fast and fast, and the Tartars can do one man and two horses, and the speed of the march is far better than that of our army. Xia Guan wanted to take the treasure ship fleet docked at the Dagu Haiphong Pass to land directly in Liaodong from the sea and achieve assistance to the guards of the Liaodong Army. ”

After listening to Shen Yichen's story, Cheng Jing also served as a eunuch out of the town, and he still has basic military knowledge.

So he nodded and agreed: "Young Sima is reasonable, since there are hidden worries in this regard, why don't you tell Da Sima?" ”

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, this is just the speculation of the lower officials, if the Tartars did not go to Liaodong or kill the horse pistol, then this deployment would have become a cocoon."

Shen Yichen did not deliberately boast of the advantages of marching into Liaodong from the sea in order to achieve his goal, but on the contrary, he told the disadvantages very frankly.

"What does the young Sima want our family to do, to persuade the big Sima?"

Cheng Jing is a smart person, and he instantly understood what Shen Yichen was asking for. It's just that this kind of militaristic affairs with extremely high risks, even as a prison army, is not too likely to interfere. Whether a decision can be reached in the end depends on Yu Qian's intentions.

"No, Da Sima shoulders the heavy responsibility of the safety of the Jingshi, and he really can't make dangerous moves."

Shen Yichen shook his head, what he wanted was not for Cheng Jing to put pressure on Yu Qian and transfer the old Fujian Navy Division to help Liaodong with him.

Although Governor Zhang Xuan's words were a little excessive, it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully. The dispatch of the Fujian Navy Division and even the Fujian Chi reinforcement army is equivalent to abolishing the establishment of ten battalions and regiments, and the friendly troops of other departments can only be reorganized on the spot.

If it is forcibly requisitioned in wartime, there is no doubt that it is destroying the Great Wall.

"Xia Guan hopes that Cheng Gonggong will recommend to His Majesty and appoint Xia Guan to send troops to Liaodong and the governor of military affairs!"

Serving as the governor of Liaodong is what Shen Yichen temporarily wanted in his mind after seeing Cheng Jing!

Before the orthodox dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, there was no governor. However, the influence of the rebellion in the southwest Luchuan was too large, and it had exceeded the jurisdiction of a single provincial political secretary, which required the establishment of a higher-level post above the governor to coordinate the overall situation and complete the unification of military and political affairs.

This position is the Governor!

Moreover, the first governor of the Ming Dynasty was none other than Wang Ji, who was the governor of military affairs with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War.

Shen Yichen could not transfer the Fujian naval divisions of the various divisions of the Beijing Division, and after the two towns of Datong Xuanfu experienced the loss of troops in several wars, there was no source of troops to recruit.

The only soldiers and horses that can be controlled are the Liaodong Army under Cao Yi, the general soldier of Liaodong.

In addition, Shen Yichen wanted to rush to the aid of Liaodong, even if there was a trend of being noble and cheap at the end of the Orthodox Dynasty. But if you want to rely on your own rank of the military department of the third grade, on someone else's territory, Cao Yi, the governor of the left capital and the chief soldier of Liaodong, is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

At that time, the two sides will not belong to each other, and it will be difficult to achieve absolute unity on the battlefield, not to mention Cao Yi's previous greed for life and fear of death, so that Shen Yichen has no trust in this Liaodong general soldier at all.

If you want to break this predicament, you can only let Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu order and appoint himself as the governor of Liaodong Military Affairs.

In this way, even if the Fujian Weisuo Army is not transferred, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus the remaining more than 40,000 people in the Liaodong Army, will have a scale of 70,000 or 80,000, and the geographical advantage is enough to fight with the Taishi first!

Similarly, Shen Yichen knew that his previous move of not summoning the army to Beijing was a huge threat to the royal family, and Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu did not necessarily dare to delegate power to appoint. Then only Cheng Jing took the initiative to recommend that he offset the vigilance in the emperor's heart and take full control of the power of Liaodong.

Governor of Liaodong?

Listening to Shen Yichen's request, Cheng Jing's face was a little solemn.

You must know that this is not an ordinary position, take Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji as an example, above the officials of several provinces, grasp the military and political power with one hand, and completely seal the territory.

Shen Yichen did show his loyalty to the new monarch in the matter of negotiating peace, which was also the result that Cheng Jing and Zhu Qiyu wanted to get at the beginning. But there is also an extremely contradictory refutation, that is, can this kind of courtiers who "betray the lord and two hearts" always guarantee their allegiance to the current emperor?

The more power a disloyal person controls, the greater the hidden danger.

"The stakes are very high, our family doesn't dare to make a guarantee easily, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions."

Cheng Jing gave an ambiguous answer, he needed to go back to the palace to discuss with Zhu Qiyu and analyze the pros and cons before he could make a final decision.

"The lower officials thanked Cheng's father-in-law first."

Of course, Shen Yichen understood that Cheng Jing could not pack tickets on the spot, and being able to recommend it to Zhu Qiyu had already met his expectations.

"In addition, the lower officials hope that Cheng's father-in-law can convey a sentence to His Majesty by the way, if you want to become a generation of Ming Jun in the annals of history, you must solve the big problem of the Tartars, so that they will never be able to set foot in the Central Plains!"

This sentence is purely a scene, what Shen Yichen really wants to express is actually that if Zhu Qiyu wants to sit firmly on this throne, he must come up with enough merit to become the king of time, let the hundred officials surrender, and let the world return to his heart!

Once there is public expectation, even if the Emperor Zhu Qizhen is still alive, it will not be able to pose a threat to Zhu Qiyu's throne.

Shen Yichen believes that with Cheng Jing's intelligence, he can understand the meaning behind this.

As expected, when Shen Yichen said this, Cheng Jing's face changed several times.

In the end, he arched his hand and said, "Our family will convey Shao Sima's advice to Your Majesty." ”

"In addition, our family is only the palm print of the fourth-rank internal official, and the young Sima is the waiter of the third-grade military department, and he is ashamed of his status as an official, so don't call it that way in the future."

The biggest difference between Cheng Jing and Wang Zhen and Xining, the biggest difference between him and Xining, is that his involvement in court politics is out of absolute loyalty to Zhu Qiyu, and his desire for power and wealth is not great, let alone getting carried away and wanting to be above the ministers of the court.

Even if the rank of internal officials is naturally more "valuable", similar to the difference between civil officials and military generals, most courtiers call themselves subordinate officials in front of the palm seal eunuchs, and he still maintains a clear head.

However, this time I reminded that the fundamental reason was not the difference in the rank of the first level, but Cheng Jing told Shen Yichen on the side that his future official rank would be greatly improved, and it was inappropriate to use a lower official to claim to be a lower official.

To put it more bluntly, Cheng Jing acquiesced in Shen Yichen's imminent appointment as the governor of Liaodong!

"Then the official thanked Cheng's father-in-law for his recommendation!"

Shen Yichen thanked him, his attitude was still respectful, but the title was changed at the first time.

In a sense, sleek and sophisticated are just Shen Yichen's "protective colors", and he still has his own integrity and toughness in his bones.

After reaching Yu Chengjing's request for help, Shen Yichen immediately ordered Li Zan to lead his subordinates to Dagu Haiphongkou. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Xu Fengyuan, asking him to transfer all the sailors and boatmen of the transport fleet to the Da Ming Bao ship, so that he could become familiar with how to control it in the shortest possible time.

There is no way, since he can't recruit Fujian sailors, Shen Yichen can only start from the folk boatmen. After all, this is not a naval battle, it requires a sophisticated rudder to cooperate with the sails, just sailing to Liaodong, he believes that Xu Fengyuan should be able to solve this problem.

Cheng Jing's movements were faster than expected, or he also intended to release Zhu Qizhen first, which gave Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu a great psychological crisis. In addition to lifting the siege of Jingshi, he must also make some political achievements in order to win the allegiance of the world and win the reputation of "the king of saving time".

Shen Yichen's radical ideas are, in a sense, in line with Zhu Qiyu's eagerness.

On the third day of October in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, the generals of all departments of the Ming army camp gathered together to welcome the holy decree from the palace.

What everyone present never expected was that the content of this holy decree was to appoint Shen Yichen as the governor of Liaodong Military Affairs with the rank of squire of the military department, and the soldiers and horses under his command were not subject to Yu Qian's moderation and enjoyed the right to act cheaply.

As soon as this holy decree came out, it can be said that it caused an uproar in the audience. You must know that before this, only Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji was crowned with the title of governor, and he fought on the battlefield for many years, and Luchuan made immortal achievements.

Shen Yichen has fought two battles so far, except for the retreat outside the Saiwai, the most critical one in the Beijing division is trapped in the Mongolian army camp, and he is a pure bystander.

How can it be compared with Wang Ji?

What did Shen Yichen do behind his back, so that the emperor could issue such an appointment decree, it was simply an unprecedented spectacle!

At this rate, is the next step to pay homage to Shen Yichen?

And this is not the most excessive, after Shen Yichen received the order, he immediately made a request to Yu Qian. That is, the Fujian Navy Division can not be recruited, but the thousands of Liaodong Army soldiers and horses led by Li Da are expected to be assigned to his command.

In addition to the cavalry led by Zhu Jibu, Li Da's thousands of Liaodong Army can be said to be the only remaining cavalry seedlings, and Sun Bo also plans to use them to expand the results of the pursuit.

If this is given by Shen Yichen, won't there be no one in his army?

"Da Sima, Shen Shilang's request, I will not agree!"

Sun Bohu looked at Shen Yichen with wide eyes, in addition to hoping to achieve greater results, the Xizhimen defense battle also made him see the courage and good fighting of Li Da and others, and he must not give it to others.

"Da Sima, the general also thinks that it is not appropriate to divide the troops, please think twice."

Zhang Wei stood up at the right time to help Sun Bo speak, and from various incredible appointments, he believed more and more in the content of the emperor's secret edict. Shen Yichen does have wolf ambitions, and even made some kind of unknown deal with King Yu behind his back, otherwise it would be impossible to explain his soaring speed.

"Da Sima, you really should think about it."

Wu Qing Bo Shi Heng, who had nothing to do with himself, stood up at this moment to express his opposition.

Although Shi Heng is extremely brave in battle, he is not very broad-minded in his desire for power. Shen Yichen, who is deeply "loved" by the two generations of emperors, really makes him a little jealous, even if in fact the holy scroll and knighthood he enjoys are far more than the current appointment of Shen Yichen's admiral.

Facing the opposition of the generals, Yu Qian's face showed a look of embarrassment.

At the beginning, Shen Yichen did not summon the army to go to Beijing, and everyone thought that he was a rebellious move and secretly did not surrender.

Facts have proved that those who are clear are self-purifying, and the trend of the battlefield is all expected by Shen Yichen. If it weren't for the reinforcements who arrived at the Tumubao battlefield in time and gathered the routed troops back to defend the Beijing Division, the best result would have been at least tens of thousands of more Ming Erlang buried in other places.

And the worst result is that the Ming Jingshi falls, and the king or the prince leads the ministers to cross to the south!

Now there is such a difficult problem in front of Yu Qian, whether to continue to believe in Shen Yichen, or choose to calm the anger of the public, will Liaodong really become the target of Taishi Yexian?

Just when the atmosphere in the tent was gradually tense, a team of young generals wearing armor and stomach rushed into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and asked Yu Qian for his life: "We are Liaodong generals, and we swear to live and die with the brothers in Liaodong, and please Da Sima Chengful!" ”

There is no doubt that the only one who can say such words is Li Da and their group of Liaodong army generals, when they learned that Shen Yichen was going to lead the army to aid Liaodong, they could no longer calm down.

"Presumptuous, the big tent is discussing important military affairs, how can you be allowed to act recklessly!"

When Zhang Xuan saw this scene, he slapped his palm on the tea eucalyptus, and scolded him with an angry face.

Trespassing into the commander's tent can already be dealt with strictly according to military law.

"Zhang Dudu, you are also a military general, don't you have this kind of robe?

Everyone in the tent opposes him, and Shen Yichen can choose to forbear, or even retreat.

Because he knows very well that he is currently in the state of Mu Xiu Yulin, he has improved too quickly, and his foundation is unstable, and he is still an old minister of the king of the previous dynasty.

It seems to be a superficial scenery, but in fact, it will be destroyed by the wind.

But Li Da is his childhood partner, a brother who shares life and death, even if it is simply to protect his shortcomings, he has to stand up and speak at this moment.

It seems that I have been low-key a lot during my return to Beijing, do you really think it is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch?

"The old man has been on the battlefield for decades, and you came to tell me about the love of the robe?"

Zhang Xuan was also furious when he heard this, as if he had been deeply insulted.

A young civil official who has never fought a few battles comes to ask himself if this veteran of the battlefield has a sense of robe, what is this not humiliation?

"Since Admiral Zhang deeply feels the same way, then he can understand General Li's state of mind, and he should not be hindered more."

After that, Shen Yicheng no longer paid attention to Zhang Xuan, but turned to Yu Qian and said: "Great Sima, General Yu Gongli and his soldiers are soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army, how can they watch their brother Paoze face the blade of the Tartars. ”

"Yu Private's official and General Li are childhood friends, and they should be classmates of Tianfu Jiashu, and they need him to help take charge of the Liaodong Army, and ask Da Sima to complete it!"

"Please Da Sima complete!"

The white fat men Zhang Qi, Wu Rong, Ma Hao and other generals in the tent asked Yu Qian for his life in unison, and they were already like arrows for returning to Liaodong.

Looking at this kind of scene, Yu Qian understood that it was useless to force them to stay in the army, and compared with the high-risk move of recruiting the Fujian Navy Division, the thousands of people of the Liaodong Army had never been dispersed, and it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the pursuing army too much.

However, they now belong to the subordinates of Sun Bo, the governor of the right capital, although Yu Qian has the power to supervise the soldiers and horses of the battalions of the Beijing Division, but the existence of the five military governors of the Ming Dynasty and the Xun Qi has led to a strange scene.

That is, the subordinate commander and the upper official.

Needless to say, the rank of the prince and the prince of the Governor is a super-grade official, and the position of the left and right governors of the Governor's Mansion is also a high-ranking position. Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, is a second-grade official without the title of third prince and third division.

In many cases, even if Yu Qian is in power, it is impossible to really treat this group of lords and governors as subordinates, and they are more in a state of consultation.

"Sun Dudu, what do you think?"

In the face of Qian's inquiry, looking at the subordinates kneeling in the tent, Sun Bo had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment.

He was originally extremely resolute in opposing Shen Yichen's request, but as a soldier, he understood the friendship of living and dying together. Liaodong is the residence of Li Da and others, and it can even be said that it is the "homeland" of many soldiers.

Thinking of this, Sun Bo sighed deeply and said: "Li Guerrilla, after you return to Liaodong, kill a few more Tartars, don't forget the blood feud of the robe under the Xizhi Gate!" ”

"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the governor of Sun!"

Li Da looked at Sun Bo with great gratitude, he knew very well that the other party had made this decision, which was equivalent to giving up the credit for the follow-up pursuit of the Tartar army.

The love of the robe is not only that the young players cannot forget, but also the veterans in high positions have not forgotten!

"The lower official thanked Admiral Sun."

Shen Yichen also thanked him, but he snorted coldly when he got a response.

For this attitude, Shen Yichen smiled indifferently and didn't care.

"Since Governor Sun has no objection, then the official promised to transfer the first part of the Liaodong Army to Shen Shilang's command."

Yu Qian said that, came to Shen Yichen, and instructed in an elder's tone: "To the north, I don't know if the Tatars you said about attacking Liaodong will become a reality. But if this matter comes true, your governor of Liaodong Military Affairs will be in great danger, and I hope to take care. ”

"The lower officials should remember the entrustment of the Great Sima."

When Shen Yichen heard these words, he felt a little emotional. He knew that Yu Qian had never shown favoritism, and it was already a rare scene to be able to say this to himself in front of all the generals today, and it represented his attention.

"That official is here to congratulate Shen Duxian on his victory!"

The governor of the orthodox dynasty has not yet set the rank, but the fact that the power is already above the governor of Zheng Erpin, Yu Qian's move is equivalent to putting Shen Yichen in the same position as himself, officially recognizing his status as the governor.

"I wish Shen Duxian a victory!"

Not only Yu Qian, but also Wang Ji, Shi Heng, Sun Bo and other generals bowed their hands to Shen Yichen.

No matter how internal discord there is, now the great enemy must be unanimous with the outside world, and the "party struggle" is no bigger than the family and the country!
