Beiyang new warlord

"Your Majesty, the court has its own opinion, and the ministers are not from the military department, so I really dare not speak nonsense, please make a judgment, Your Majesty!"

The one-sentence Chongzhen almost lost the smirk on the surface, you are a scholar of the imperial court, the chief assistant! I am here to judge, what use do you need?

After breathing heavily for a few times, Emperor Chongzhen barely regained his composure, and stopped going around in circles with him. Afraid of being pissed to death, Zhu Youjian asked directly.

"What do you think of Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao?"

Compared with Sun Chuanting, who insisted on his own opinion and was stubborn and stubborn, this Hong Chengchou is undoubtedly very good at being a man. He doesn't care whether you oppose Shaanxi or not. The emperor has orders, so he went on and left the Central Plains battlefield. He took office in Ji Town again.

In fact, there were quite a few famous generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty. They may be able to handle things in war. He remembered.

However, as soon as this name was mentioned, Xue Guoguan's head immediately shook like a rattle.

"Your Majesty can't!"

"The world's elite soldiers are gathered in Sichuan, Ji Town, the Central Plains is already empty. This year, Henan and Shaanxi are experiencing severe droughts, and the people don't talk about it. The villains are running rampant. If Hong Chengchou is transferred, the Central Plains bandits will reappear. Wouldn't it lead to a catastrophe?" Come?"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

I know Chongzhen too well!Since Hong Chengchou was brought up, the emperor must have made a decision in his heart, but Xue Guoguan was even more afraid to continue it when he knew this. This is also the old routine of Emperor Chongzhen. If something goes wrong, the responsibility will be pushed to the subordinates, and the image of his "holy king" will not be damaged!

The emperor who has no responsibility naturally corresponds to the minister who has no responsibility. Seeing Xue Guoguan kneeling on the ground again, Chongzhen's fake smile can no longer be maintained. Seeing Xue Guoguan kowtowing again and again, in the emperor's pupils, there is already Full of cold killer!

4Chapter 16. Exit! Challenge!

"Your Majesty is wise! Inspector Hong has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is a good commander! After the inspector Hong Chengchou leaves the customs, he will surely solve the siege of Jinzhou! I recommend Master Hong!"

For more than 280 years in the Ming Dynasty, there are still some loyal ministers. Xue Guoguan changed people if he couldn't do it. The bachelor went round and round. Finally, it was the dead Minister of the Ministry of War, Fu Zonglong, who gave the emperor this step, and became the person who took the blame. Kneeling to recommend Fu Bingbu, Chongzhen nodded with a rare smile.

"Recommended by the Ministry of War! If I don't follow, I will recruit Hong Chengchou to become the Torch Sage!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Amid the high-spirited voice, the commander who resisted the invasion of the Eastern captives finally settled down. However, in order not to take on this responsibility, Chongzhen delayed for nineteen days, precious nineteen days! It is eight hundred miles away from Zu Dashou. It has been more than half a month since it was passed to the capital!

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou was not far away at this time. He filled the vacancies of Wu Aheng who was digging coal in the Dongjiang River.

Hong Chengchou was known as the butcher of Hong on the battlefield, and Sun Chuanting was only a part of the military plane destroyed. He really killed people like hemp, massacred prisoners, looted a city and so on. Hong Bing did it like a fish in water.

But compared to Sun Chuanting's stinky and tough temper, Hong Chengchou, who is fierce on the battlefield, is a familiar and soft person, and he is also good at flattering him. His popularity is much stronger than Sun Chuanting's. King Bingqin, Sun Chuanting was ordered to stand by in the suburbs, and he didn't even have the chance to enter the city, let alone face the Holy Spirit. In the end, he was sent away by the governor of Baoding. The reward of 1 taels of silver was received by the emperor himself when he entered the city. This was also one of the reasons why Sun Chuanting was indignant.

This time, Hong Chengchou was also treated well. He had just arrived at the gate of the capital, and Gao Qiqian, the admiral of the imperial horse camp, came to greet him in person. There were also a hundred other guards on horseback, which gave Hong Chengchou enough face.

Although it was another battle with the Qing army this time, it was not a direct threat to the city after all. The signboard is also swaying with the wind, it seems that the world is peaceful again, but there are always countless beggars on the side of the street, which still adds a bit of misery to the peaceful scene.

Seeing the large group of cavalry passing by, the common people moved aside wisely, but Hong Chengchou didn't feel much at ease under the awe-inspiring majesty. Instead, he had an old face with his brows tightly locked, shaking his head with the shaking of the horse, A look of restlessness.

"Master Hong, is he unwell?"

"Oh? No! Maybe the journey is very urgent these two days, and some people are just tired!"

Gao Qiqian's concerned question suddenly came to his ears, Hong Chengchou quickly put on a smile on his black face, and waved his hands with a difficult smile.

"Oh, so that's how it is!" The smirk on my face relaxed, and I was nodding like a Maitreya Buddha with a smile on my face.

"Coincidentally, it just so happens that a batch of ginseng antlers has just arrived at the old slave's house, so let's give it to Lord Hong to replenish energy and blood!"

"Elder-in-law, how can this be done?"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly waved his hands to evade, the eunuch's things are not so easy to get, and he is not greedy for it.

Who knows, Gao Qiqian reached out and grabbed his hand with the same smile.

"Master Hong is about to serve the country! Our family is a useless person, and there is nothing we can do to help. If we can produce some ginseng antlers, so that Master Hong can devote more energy to killing the enemy, our family will be satisfied! Master Hong must never refuse! "

"but"

The voice has a long tone here, and the high dive is meaningful.

"Most of these things come from Dongjiang. Our Long Live Lord doesn't like Dongjiang's ginseng! Lord Hong just accept it, don't mention it in front of His Majesty!"

Politicians, never talk nonsense! Hong Chengchou couldn't help being excited when he heard this, and immediately he bowed deeply to Gao Qiqian with fists in his hands.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao!"

This time, he didn't evade at all, and accepted Hong Chengchou's gift in a grand manner.

The emperor was obviously in a hurry. Hong Chengchou was rushed to the palace before he had time to eat a bite of ginseng stewed chicken. He was summoned on the cursed platform. Hong Chengchou was really popular. For him, the emperor was better than Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. Waiting for people to be more cordial, this Hong Chengchou just knelt down and bowed down three times, and the other Chongzhen Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"Pingshen, give me a seat!"

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the ministers could only kneel down to perform affairs. It is a great honor to be able to sit and discuss with the emperor!

After all, he is a leader, and his speech must be level. The emperor couldn't wait to cry as soon as he came up, saying that my father Jinzhou is going to be gone, you kid, hurry up and fight!Instead, he first cared about Hong Chengchou's own job.

"Jizhen soldiers and horses drill, Hong Qing, how is it going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, thanks to your mighty power, Jizhen's soldiers and horses recovered very quickly. Some Shaanxi soldiers and Liao troops were recruited to join, and then nearby military households were recruited to join the army. Now Jizhen has [-] soldiers and horses. Strong!"

"How about soldiers and horses in Jizhen compared with captives in the east?"

"Return to Your Majesty! Each has its own strengths! The slaves are good at field battles, and my division is good at defending the city. Once in battle, our division defends the formation with red cannons. We can't get any bargains, but if we fight in waves, if we force ourselves to a field battle with Jiannu's horse bow and iron weapons, our army will definitely lose!"

Hong Chengchou's words were pertinent. He didn't brag and exaggerate himself like Yuan Chonghuan, nor did he emphasize how strong Jiannu's fighting power was like those civil servants who had their guts broken by Jiannu, and demoted himself to nothing. This pragmatism once again made Chongzhen The emperor nodded.

He finally decided to entrust the task.

"Hong Qing, build slaves to encircle Jinzhou. Once Ningjin falls, the capital will be exposed to the wild! I want you to solve the siege of Jinzhou, are you sure?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

This is by no means an easy job, but before coming here, Hong Chengchou had already realized this in his heart, he was very calm, and bowed deeply to Chongzhen again.

"What I just said, the strength of my teacher lies in defending the city, not in field battles! At this time, the slaves attacking our Jinzhou City is attacking my strengths with their own shortcomings! There is still something to do in Jinzhou ! But it will not happen overnight!"

"If your majesty wants ministers to lead the army, you need 15 soldiers! Food and pay for at least one year! And give ministers full power! Ministers should send troops between Tashan and Xingshan in Heishan, step by step, defeat the spirit of the captives in the east, and wait for their food and grass to run out, and the veterans will be exhausted. At that time, if we cooperate with Zu Dashou and Du Dudu inside and outside, we will definitely be able to defeat the Eastern captives!"

It's polite, but Hong Chengchou's strategy is very common for later generations. The opponent's output is very explosive, but his hands are short, and he doesn't force a group.I have four long-handed and crispy heroes on my side. I can't fight a wave of team battles with them. I have to use the tank to drag them first, and wait until the opponent is exhausted before fighting!

This suggestion also won the heart of Emperor Chongzhen. After all, the staunch Lu Xiangsheng was defeated in the first battle. It is a lie to say that he is not afraid in his heart. Hong Chengchou's conservative dismissal just fits the emperor's psychology. Stay happy and stand up.

"Very good, just as you said! If you want soldiers, you need soldiers, and if you want food, you need food. Ai Qing will prepare immediately and go out to fight!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

When he entered, he was the governor of Jiliao, and when he came out, he became the minister of the Ministry of War. The governor declared Dashan, Shanxi, Baoding, Jiliao army and horse supervisor, and gave Shang Fang a sword. But he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
