Chongzhen Chat Group

After Liu Xingzuo finished speaking all the lines he wanted to speak that had been discussed yesterday, he asked the Jinyiwei conductor beside him to continue to explain in detail the layout and significance of the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall. As for himself, he quickly left and headed towards the Forbidden City.

At this time, in the Huangji Palace, a number of meritorious soldiers have been rewarded, and vacant positions have been arranged. There is still no arrangement for the general army of Datong and the general army of Xuanfu, as well as the position of governor of Liaodong.

During the discussion the day before yesterday, the previous official positions had been determined through discussion, so the cabinet drafted the edict and the emperor completed the edict process with his seal. The remaining official positions are relatively special, so they were not announced immediately.

For example, Shaanxi has been suffering from drought for many years, and bandits have been rife for a long time, and are getting worse. Although Yang He, the governor of the three sides, downplayed the report, other officials had already reported it. If Jianlu hadn't invaded the capital in October, I'm afraid the court's focus would have shifted to Shaanxi.

Fugu County, where Shaanxi and Shanxi meet, has been captured by Wang Jiayin. Bandits are on the move and are likely to break into Shanxi. Datong is not far from Shaanxi and is one of the nine important towns in the Ming Dynasty. The General Soldier of Datong not only has to defend the Mongolian Tatars on the grasslands, but also has to suppress and exterminate the bandits who may escape. Therefore, the selection of the General Soldier of Datong needs to be cautious, and the decision has not yet been made.

As for the Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief, Emperor Chongzhen made it clear during the original discussion and skipped it. Except for Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo, who knew that the general of the Xuanfu was involved in raiding Shanxi merchants, no one else knew, nor did they know what the emperor meant by that. However, they could probably guess that the emperor already had a candidate in mind for the chief soldier of the Xuanfu.

In addition, after Bi Zisu, the former governor of Liaodong and the leader of the battle, was humiliated and committed suicide by the mutinous soldiers, Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Jiliao, petitioned the then Emperor Chongzhen, saying that his five-year plan to ping Liao would be restricted by the governor of Liaodong, thus successfully getting Emperor Chongzhen to cancel it. He took the post of governor of Liaodong.

Now it seems that Yuan Chonghuan did not lie at that time. He removed the governor of Liaodong and drove the eunuchs back to the capital, so that his peace talks were no longer restricted. As a result, Mao Wenlong was killed, the Mongolian tribes were integrated by the captives, and the Mongolian grasslands were detoured to invade the capital.

Therefore, during the discussion, Hu Guang proposed to restore the post of governor of Liaodong. This is not to say that Sun Chengzong, who has been appointed as the governor of Jiliao, cannot be trusted, but that it is necessary to restrict power. Even the eunuchs overseeing the army will be dispatched soon.

It's just that the governor of Liaodong is really special, and ordinary civil servants don't have the courage to take up the post. Of course, Hu Guang also looked down upon ordinary civil servants. What he wanted was a governor of Liaodong who could do a good job. Regarding Sun Chengzong, one must be cautious and not hold back; regarding the military and political affairs of Liaodong, one must have unique insights and be able to do a good job accordingly. After several discussions with such a talent, we all felt that it would not work, so in the end we had to leave it alone.

After the eunuch in charge of the ceremony read out the imperial edict, he returned to his position, which made all the civil servants and generals who were looking forward to it a little disappointed. Why was it gone?

Ma Shilong also frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied. He had worked so hard, but in the eyes of the emperor, he didn't even get any credit? He has so many elite servants, doesn’t the emperor pay attention to them?

At this moment, he very much hoped that someone would come out to remind the emperor that he, the general with a heavy army and the sword Shang Fang, missed the reward!

However, it is a pity that North Korea and China have no allies.

He was a little hesitant about whether to go out on his own and recommended himself to His Majesty to go to Liaodong.

At this moment, it was reported outside the palace that the commander of Jinyiwei, Liu Xingzuo, had urgent military information and requested an audience.

When Hu Guang heard this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing he arrived in time, otherwise he would not be able to stay silent and would have to continue.

With this thought in mind, he immediately issued an order loudly: "Xuan!"

After a while, under the attention of all the civil and military officials, Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, strode into the Huangji Palace. His expression seemed a little excited. As soon as the ceremony was over, he loudly reported: "Your Majesty, I have just received a secret report from the Jinyi Guards, saying that... The Ning army guarded Wu Sangui and led 800 cavalry troops. They went out to kill the 3,000 Mongolian troops who invaded the capital and returned with plundered supplies.

"Another Wu garrison led a thousand-mile attack to wipe out the two major tribes of Zalut and Bahrain. They set up banners where the two tribes were exterminated. Those who committed crimes against the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are! We have now reached Yongping, and the entire army has suffered less than a hundred casualties. Arrive in the capital soon!"

Hearing this, there was an uproar in Huangji Palace.

This...is this really the Ming army? A total victory of eight hundred against three thousand, and a thousand powerful attacks to wipe out the entire clan. Even if this is not as good as Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, it is not far behind! Who is this Wu Sangui who is so powerful?

Of course, some people knew who Wu Sangui was and immediately turned to look at Zu Dashou. Sure enough, Zu Dashou also looked shocked, and then his face became full of joy.

Among them, some were unconvinced and thought to themselves: "If you are also a general, your father is a general soldier, and your uncle is also a general soldier, it will not be too easy to gather 800 of the most elite cavalry. Isn't it just to fight the Mongolian Tatars? What a big deal! The two tribes of Zalut and Balin are not strong among the Mongolian tribes.

No matter what he was thinking below, after Liu Xingzuo finished playing, Hu Guang felt as if he had heard the news for the first time. He stood up from his throne with shock on his face and asked loudly: "Is the news true?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, it's a heaven-level secret report from the Jinyi Guards, confirmed!" Liu Xingzuo replied loudly, a little confused in his heart, why did the emperor let him tell him a heaven-level secret report? Is it possible that in addition to the heaven level, there are also the earth level and the human level?

Others who heard it were also puzzled. Jin Yiwei's heaven-level secret report, what is this? Why haven't you heard of it before? Could it be something created by the new Jinyiwei commander? Listening to this tone, it seems that this heaven-level secret report is very powerful!

Hu Guang continued to act. After hearing this, he said happily: "Is it a secret report from heaven? Okay, not bad! This makes me feel relieved!"

When he said this, the civil and military officials immediately became more curious about this heaven-level secret report. Endorsed by the emperor, this heaven-level secret report must be the highest-level report from Jin Yiwei!

They turned to look at the commander of the Jinyiwei, and found him standing there with a proud face, as if this heaven-level secret report was the pride of the Jinyiwei!

Turning back to look at the emperor, he saw that the emperor seemed very happy. He even rubbed his hands, then raised his head and repeated appreciatively: "Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away! Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away..."

He said a few words in succession, as if he was savoring the flavor of these words. Then he suddenly clapped his hands and said: "This Wu Shou Bei is really my hussar general of the Ming Dynasty. It is well said. Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is! I will reward him heavily!"

There will be two updates at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and three updates around 12 noon. I’ll check the situation on Sunday and I’ll explain the update at the end of the chapter tomorrow.
