Chapter 661 The hidden worries of the war on the Western Front

After Zhang Zhifa finished speaking, Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites, frowned slightly. Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, he said: "Your Majesty, I think it would be most appropriate to listen to the advice of Governor Denglai. After all, he is He is a party involved in the war!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Guoguan, the assistant minister, immediately came out and said: "I second the proposal!"

Other ministers also thought Xu Guangqi's suggestion was good and all agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen was no exception. He asked Liu Xingzuo to ask and then said in public: "Lu Zhongcheng thought that the new army was very strong, comparable to the army under Marshal Qi back then. If it was just to defend the city, even if several times the number of prisoners came to attack, it should be able to do so. Hold on!"

Upon hearing this evaluation, the important ministers in the palace were once again surprised. They had always thought that the emperor's new army was just for fun, but it was so highly praised by Governor Denglai. It was really amazing!

"Your Majesty, since Lu Zhongcheng has said so, I think we can go ahead with the original plan and make the Jianlu people worse off, which will be a blessing to our Ming Dynasty!" Wen Tiren, the first assistant, immediately said after feeling a little.

Hearing this, other ministers also agreed. Seeing that Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, was secretly complaining, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Liu Xingzuo said again: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng proposed that as long as there is food, a hussar camp can be left on the island in winter. Even if the captives come to attack, they can move quickly and wait for the opportunity to coordinate the Gaizhou New Army. ."

Sun Chengzong, who had been listening silently, also said through Cao Huachun at this time that Guan Ning's cavalry could also be ready to attack. If Gaizhou was in danger, they could also harass Jianlu.

Such support from these two supporting armies would have been impossible in the past. But now with the communication of the chat group, what happened in Gaizhou can be transmitted to the two peripheral cavalry armies in real time. In this way, Gaizhou can be effectively supported.

At this time, even Bi Ziyan believed that the war in Gaizhou should be basically no problem. Like Wen Tiren, he knew how powerful it would be for the Ming Dynasty to make matters worse for Jianlu, so he also vocally agreed to proceed with the Gaizhou War as originally planned.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that all the ministers in the Wenhua Hall had reached a consensus, he smiled and said: "Okay, let's proceed as planned. The ministers can discuss the merits and rewards for this Korean War first, and wait for the news of success. It will be officially announced when we get to the capital."

Such a big victory, of course, must be rewarded according to merit, and it must be well publicized. Naturally, the ministers didn't say anything and all agreed immediately.

When he saw these ministers exiting the palace, Emperor Chongzhen's smile suddenly solidified on his face.

Only then did he remember that Cao Bianjiao, the person involved, had not been asked about this matter. Forget it if you forget it. There are so many ministers below, but no one remembers it? Or maybe they didn't even think about it?

Emperor Chongzhen remembered that one of his plans was to combine civil and military forces to improve the status of generals. Forget it this time, the next time there is a military meeting, the relevant generals, such as those from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, must also be called. Even if they don't speak, they must show their presence. This matter must be guided by yourself!

He felt a little unhappy after missing an opportunity, so he entered the chat group and watched the group members' chats. Seeing that the members from Jiangnan seemed to be discussing Zhou Yanru's affairs, I was a little surprised why he was here again just after returning to Beijing.

Haha, this is a catfish. I will let him find something for you to do first. I will see how I deal with you later depending on the situation!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, then he clicked on Lu Ruipeng's icon and asked how the preparations for the war on the grassland were going?

After a while, Lu Ruipeng relayed Hong Chengchou's reply: "Your Majesty, our army is currently gathering, but there is a problem. The camp of Bu Shitu is not fixed. There is no trace of it in the place where I previously detected it. Now it is decent." A large number of people stayed overnight to investigate westward."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown. That's the bad thing about the Mongols, they have no fixed place to live! If Bushitu's camp could not be found in time, Hong Chengchou would probably be in big trouble.

If the target is not clear, the army will not be able to attack. And if the army does not attack, every additional day the army gathers will consume a lot of supplies. For the current Ming Dynasty and the current Hetao area, there is no capital to spend willfully!

Emperor Chongzhen thought of this and immediately asked: "How long will it take for the army to be assembled? Do you have any clues about the location of the fortune telling rabbit?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Governor Hong said that the army assembly should be completed in about six days. Judging from some signs and clues where Bu Shitu's camp is located, it is very likely that it has moved westward, closer to Dulbert's tribe. Governor Hong speculated that it was possible that Bu Shitu was afraid of being retaliated by the Ming Dynasty and fled westward before intercepting the Ming Dynasty's messenger, or that he was planning to form an alliance to deal with the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Ruipeng's report made Emperor Chongzhen even more worried about the war on the Western Front. According to the current situation, he is a little worried that the original campaign goal of the Western Front war will not be achieved, and it is very likely that if one goes wrong, it will become an alliance between the Ming Dynasty and several Mongolian tribes in the west! If this is the case, it is really hard to say what kind of situation will eventually evolve on the Western Front!

After all, the current focus of the Ming Dynasty is Liaodong. Whether it is military elites or material supplies, priority is given to the army on the enemy side. Once the Western Front becomes a mess, the situation on the Ming Dynasty's Northern Front that has just improved is likely to become serious again.

While he was thinking about this, Lu Ruipeng sent another private message: "Your Majesty, Governor Hong thought that if Bu Shitu had an insider from the Ming Dynasty who could provide detailed military information, he would be able to give Bu Shitu before other tribes could react. The Stone Rabbit men and horses can annihilate their army with a thunderous strike, eliminating this source of unrest in the west and also frightening other tribes.”

"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. What Hong Chengchou meant was that he wanted to visit Guihua City again, right? But in my chat group, there is currently no one from Bushitu!

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but want to try his luck and add some people to try. He looked at the achievement points in the lower left corner of the chat group, which showed 4562 points.

The capital has a population of more than one million. If each person can contribute at least five or six points, there will be more than five million achievement points. Now that I haven't even earned half a million points, it seems that I still have a lot to live in the capital. When the achievement points are low in the future, you will have to patrol the world.

Now that the achievement points are enough, let’s add some people and see! I hope this chat group system was really developed by the emperors of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, and clicked the add button to start adding people.
