The sun shines through the window, and the early spring in Beijing is much warmer than in Liaodong. Although it is still very windy every day.

Xiong Wei walked around outside the emperor's upper study, very anxious. He had just heard that Nurhachi was attacking in the direction of Jingshi step by step, and had captured eleven large and small cities near Fushun.

But who the emperor sent to be the head coach has not paid attention to it so far.

Although the court and the central government are roughly divided into Zheng Guifei and the empress's people, the two factions are divided into the main battle and the main peace faction.

The main battle faction thought that Nurhachi was menacing and fought until Fushun, and his purpose was to fight to the capital division.

The Lord and the faction think that Nurhachi is because we are pushing Nurhachi too hard, and if we send someone to talk to Nurhachi, maybe Nurhachi will retreat. It's better to find an envoy to talk to Nurhachi. And there are no available generals in the DPRK.

On the whole, there are many more people in the main peace than in the main battle.

Mingshenzong has been silent about these two opinions, and he has been in the study all day long, and no one has been seen.

Xiong Wei is now the emperor's imperial guard, and his task is to protect the emperor's safety, and going to the front line to fight is the generals' business, and it has nothing to do with him to say something ugly. However, then again, when the country is in danger, what good man doesn't want to serve the motherland.

However, there are a lot of helpless things at this time. It's not something you can do whatever you want.

He also knew that the queen and Concubine Zheng were competing for the position of this coach. I don't seem to have a chance with this manager. Neither the queen nor Concubine Zheng will give this opportunity to herself.

However, he did want to go on the expedition. He was different from the rest of the world, he went on the expedition because his country was in danger. He didn't want to give up such a large area of rivers and mountains to Nurhachi. As for the purpose of the queen and Zheng Guifei sending people to the expedition. Not to mention, he also knows a thing or two.

In the past few days, when he was patrolling, he always saw some ministers sneaking at the door of the emperor's upper study, and they wanted to go to see the emperor but didn't go.

Xiong Wei didn't bother to pay attention, just by looking at their expressions, he knew what was going on in their hearts.

"Xiong Wei, you come in!" Mingshenzong finally called Xiong Wei in.

"Weichen see the emperor. Xiong Wei saluted the Mingshen Sect and said. Xiong Wei saw that Mingshenzong wrote a poem on the table: I don't send it when the flowers are hairy, and if I do, I will be scared to death. If you want to fight in Liaodong, you will wear golden armor all over your body.

When Mingshenzong wrote the last stroke of the word "A", the pen was pulled down hard, and the hanging needle of the last stroke of the word "A" was vertical, looking like a sharp knife.

"Xiong Wei, you know what the situation in the court is now. You've just come back from Liaodong again. What do you think?" the Mingshen Sect saw Xiong Wei coming, and looked at Xiong Wei very seriously.

Xiong Wei had never seen the Myojin Sect so serious. The ministers outside are speculating whether the emperor's intention is to fight the main battle or the main peace, and if the main battle, who will he send?

Everyone knows that if anyone can guess the emperor's mind, then they will be even more favored.

The Myojin Sect also knew that everyone was guessing their minds. So he didn't see anyone, not even the most distressed Concubine Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has decided to fight!" Xiong Wei said firmly.

"Oh? The Myojin Sect looked at Xiong Wei intently.

"Returning to the emperor......" Xiong Wei didn't have so many eyes, he didn't shy away from saying what he wanted to say in front of Mingshenzong.

On the surface, Nurhachi seemed to have fought because the Ming Dynasty pushed him too hard, so he went to war.

However, from what I know about Nurhachi, Nurhachi is not such a person. Nurhachi is brave and ambitious. On top of that, his sons also supported him in his fight.

When Xiong Wei was in Liaodong, he also heard a story.

On April 13, the 46th year of Wanli (1618 AD), Nurhachi sued the sky with the "Seven Great Hatreds", swore to defeat Ming, and led the Eight Banners Army to attack Fushun.

On the 14th, he was stationed in Wahun and Om. It was night, and it was sunny and rainy, and Nurhachi told the Eight Banners Belle and the ministers: "It is raining heavily, and it is inconvenient to move forward, can you go back?"

Nurhachi's order is very unwise and will bring serious harm to the development of Houjin.

At this critical moment, Dai Shan put the overall situation first, and took the risk to dissuade him: "We have reconciled with the Ming Dynasty many times, because he does not preach morality, so we are the teacher." Today we have reached the border, if we go back, can we still make peace with the Ming Dynasty?

If he returns to the army due to the rain and "reconciles" with the Ming, then Nurhachi will give up the honorific title of "Enlightened Khan of the Nations", and continue to act as the governor of the left guard of Jianzhou, who was regarded as the chief of the Ming Dynasty, must pay tribute on time, abide by the laws of the country, take the governor of Liaodong as his father, and let the border generals extort and oppress, and he must withdraw the Jurchen tribes that have been annexed, make them their own masters, cancel the powerful Houjin State that has been established, and all the fruitful achievements of the 35 years of struggle will be in vain.

Tens of thousands of horses, mighty and mighty, went straight to Fushun, which is difficult to hide. The soldiers are fast, especially the surprise, the leakage of the news, the enemy's perception, strict defense, it will be difficult to defeat the other party and conquer the castle.

Although it was raining, the roads were muddy, and it was inconvenient to walk, the soldiers had "clothing" and bows and arrows to prepare rain equipment, and they could still continue to advance, and because of this, the enemy army might be lax, how could they brave the rain and travel long distances to attack the castle?

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the rain, a sudden sneak attack is like falling from the sky, and the enemy will inevitably be caught off guard, so "this rain is good for me and bad for the other."

When Mingshenzong heard this, he asked, "Who is Daishan?"

"It's Nurhachi's eldest son. Xiong Wei said firmly, "Your Majesty, Nurhachi is not far away, and the army is mobilizing people to attack our dynasty." The soldiers of our court are in the city, and they do not have their toil. Why don't we fight!"

Mingshenzong didn't speak, he continued to listen to Xiong Wei. He sighed in his heart: If his son could be like Nurhachi's son, he would not have to worry so much now.

When the Three Kingdoms were established, Liu Bei worked hard to establish the Shu State, and later the lord Liu Chan could not help him, resulting in the Shu State being annexed by the Wei State.

Cao Cao's son Cao Pi was much more powerful than Liu Chan, but in the end he was annexed by the Sima clan.

He thought about it, and there was a trace of sadness in his heart. Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was so brave and good at fighting back then, how could he not be as good as Taizu. And now these sons of their own......

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Xiong Wei heard Mingshenzong's sigh, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to speak for a while.

Mingshenzong glanced at Xiong Wei again and said, "You go on......"

"Now, Nurhachi has led his troops to Fushun, and after Fushun is Quang Ninh, and where is Guangning after him? If we repeatedly back down, then his next goal is the Jingshi, and after the Jingshi is the entire river and mountain. How can we sleep peacefully?"

The more Xiong said, the more excited he became. "Your Majesty, are you willing to give the country that Taizu has worked so hard to build to Nurhachi?"

These words touched the heart of the Mingshen Sect, how many emperors from ancient times to the present are willing to give up their rivers and mountains to others?

Myojin Sect clenched his fists.

When Xiong Wei saw the Mingshen Sect and looked at the poem written on his desk, he knew that the Mingshen Sect was very eager to fight in his heart. He also said: "Your Majesty, in fact, wants to fight, but the emperor is hesitant to send who to send to fight. ”

Mingshenzong shrugged his eyebrows and looked at Xiong Wei: "How do you know that I am the main battle?"

Xiong Wei said proudly: "I know it from the poem that the emperor just wrote. The emperor wrote 'I want to fight in Liaodong', and I knew that the emperor wanted to fight, but he was hesitating. ”

When Mingshenzong heard this, he laughed and said, "I really want to fight, but I can't pay attention to it for a while. I have been watching Emperor Gaozu for the past few days how he won this great river and mountain. This poem, this line turned out to be 'to fight the west wind'. I didn't think the west wind was very relevant, so I changed it to Liaodong. ”

Mingshenzong walked over again, looked at the words on the table, and said, "Now that I think about it, it's okay to change it like this." As he spoke, he wrote on another piece of paper: There is a battle with the north wind.

Xiong Wei looked at the word "war" and wrote it very big. Xiong Wei knew in his heart that whether it was the west wind or the north wind, the emperor was going to fight.

Mingshenzong wrote on a whim, he opened the paper suddenly, and wrote: The crescent moon on the horizon is holding a hook, saying that I have a lot of rivers and mountains. Liaodong has gone more than half, how can you lose an inch of land.

"Xiong Wei, do you know what these two poems mean?" Mingshenzong asked again, looking at the words.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen really doesn't know. However, Weichen saw that the emperor was going to fight. ”

Mingshenzong smiled and said, "These two poems were written by Emperor Taizu, and I changed them according to the current form. ”

"Forgive the city for its ignorance. Xiong Wei lowered his head, very embarrassed.

Mingshenzong looked at Xiong Wei holding the sword in his hand, and said, "I think this poem is more suitable for you." ”

Mingshenzong said, with a big stroke of the pen, he wrote on the paper again: The sword on his waist is still bloody! Kill all the millions of soldiers in Liaodong.

"Your Majesty!" Xiong Wei looked at it, Mingshenzong wanted to make himself the main general.

Xiong Wei asked tentatively: "But you want Xiong Wei to be the commander?"

"Haha!" Myojin Sect smiled without saying a word. He really wanted Xiong Wei to be the main general, but he also knew that if Xiong Wei was the main general, it would be difficult for the queen and Zheng Guifei to be calmed down. Moreover, Xiong Wei has no experience in leading troops, and he is not at ease.

"Emperor Taizu laid down this great river and mountain, I will not give it to others. It's just that there are still some things I haven't figured out yet. ”

"Since the emperor has decided to fight, let's make a decision as soon as possible. Nurhachi has been attacking in the direction of the Jingshi in Liaodong, and we can't wait any longer. Xiong Wei saw that Mingshenzong hesitated again and reminded.

Mingshenzong took a deep breath and said, "But who is the main general?"

Xiong Wei was also stunned when he heard this question. yes, who's in charge? He doesn't know anyone.

Seeing that Xiong Wei didn't speak, Mingshenzong waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Xiong Wei had no choice but to retire.

Mingshenzong's question, but no one was seen for several days.

Concubine Zheng and the queen were not idle. Or wander around the upper study of the Myojin Sect all day long.

On this day, Xiong Wei still took "leisurely" to guard in front of the emperor's upper study. There was a little eunuch who walked towards Xiong Wei without hesitation.

Xiong Wei stared at him, and knew that something was wrong with this person. He walked up to Xiong Wei, lowered his head and said, "Lord Xiong, Concubine Zheng has invited you to her palace for a while." ”

When Xiong Wei heard this, Zheng Guifei was invited, and he was stunned for a moment, at this time, please yourself, is it for who to go to Liaodong?

Xiong Wei smiled slightly and excused himself: "Father-in-law, I am a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and I can't leave the upper study, I want to protect the emperor's comfort." ”

Xiong didn't want to look for trouble on his own.

The eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Lord Xiong, it will take up your time for a moment. Ouchi of the Imperial Palace, the guards are so tight, you will be fine if you go for a while. Besides, if you don't go, it's not good to offend Concubine Zheng. ”

Xiong Wei didn't speak, it was indeed not good to offend Concubine Zheng. But it's not good to go now.

The eunuch looked at Xiong Wei and hesitated, and said again, "Lord Xiong, Miss Xia Yun is also waiting for you at Concubine Zheng's place, if you don't go, ......"

These words made Xiong Wei have to go, Xiong Wei thought: What a Zheng Guifei, you know where my weakness is. Just go, the eldest husband is still afraid that you will not be a deep palace woman?
