I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Father Khan, you kill me!"

"I was defeated by the Ming people in the field battle and ruined the elite Zhenghuang Banner. It is a shame for Dajin and a disgrace to the reputation of the Great Khan. Kill me and use the law of the army!"

After finishing speaking, he said that thinking of his father Shuerhaqi, he cried so much that he burst into tears.

Hu Erhan, one of the five ministers, couldn't stand it anymore, he sighed heavily, and said:

"When Yehe was conquered, you rebelled with your father, and the Great Khan couldn't bear to see Shuerhaqi cut off his descendants, so he pardoned you and accepted you as his adopted son in spite of everyone's opinions."

"Now, the Great Khan has even made you the second of the four great Baylors. He has repeatedly garnered kindness and rewarded you with heavy troops. Such a loving heart can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Someone also said:

"Yes! Erbeile, don't tell me you're not satisfied!"

"Khan, pardon Erbeile this time!"

"The opponents are Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao. If anyone here is replaced, it can't be said that they will never fall into the trap!"

Nurhachi was very embarrassed.

On the one hand, it is very unreasonable for Amin to be able to escape from the heavy siege this time. On the other hand, he really likes this reckless adopted son.

Nurhachi didn't answer for a long while, and the court tent fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, he lowered his head, waved his hands and said:

"Forget it, you don't have to persuade me."

"Amin, Ben Khan will spare you, and you don't have to lead any more soldiers, so just hand in the seal of Zhenghuangqi!"

Amin hurriedly returned the big seal with both hands, and said through tears:

"Thank you Uncle Khan for not killing me!"

Nurhachi didn't look at him, so as not to show the disappointment on his face, he turned to look at Fan Wencheng and said:

"Sir, please draft an edict on behalf of Ben Khan to confiscate Amin's Aha, Nikan and subordinates, and listen to it with the camp to see the effect."

"As for when to attack Liaoyang... Sigh!"

Nurhachi's happy expression disappeared completely, and the relaxed atmosphere in the court tent became dull again. After a long silence, he continued:

"After this defeat, Zhenghuangqi is unbearable and needs to be rebuilt."

"The Ming army found out the details of our army. It just won a great victory, and its morale is at its peak. Liaoyang is a big city. If it can't be defeated for a while, it should be a class teacher!"

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone was shocked.

Huang Taiji came out and said: "Father Khan, our army's gains in this battle are far less than what we estimated earlier. With this squadron, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners."

When everyone advised against him, only Fan Wencheng remained silent.

Nurhachi looked at him and asked:

"What are you thinking, sir?"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Khan, this servant is thinking that the Ming army also thinks that our army has suffered this defeat, so it must be a teacher. If it's not like he is a general, he will do it and send someone to negotiate a peace!"

……

On the post road from Liaodong to the capital, a fast horse is galloping fast.

Although the horse had just changed trains at the express delivery shop half a day ago, it was already exhausted from galloping all the way to this point, panting heavily.

The messenger on the horse didn't seem to know it at all, and he didn't feel sorry for the mount at all. He swung his whip desperately to drive the mount forward.

Turning around a mountain bend, a majestic pass appears in front of you.

Looking from a distance, there is a huge watchtower standing on the city tower, and a few large characters are written under the watchtower - the first pass in the world.

Above the city gate, there is a person guarding the total duty post.

The sabers and spears of the frontier soldiers gleamed in the sunlight, but they had nothing to do for half a day, and a few of them dozed off while leaning on their guns.

The messenger couldn't help being overjoyed to see that he had arrived at Shanhaiguan.

He rode his horse and drove to the bottom of Guancheng, before he could speak, he was awakened by the gust of wind coming from the galloping horse.

Ask the total subconscious:

"Shut up, who is coming!"

The messenger jumped off his horse and said sharply:

"Eight hundred li sent an urgent report to Beijing, quickly let me enter the customs, and prepare my horse at the west gate!"

As soon as the words were uttered, the messenger turned around after hearing a whine, only to see that the exhausted horse had collapsed and was spitting blood.

After all, Chang Chang closed the door. After all, he had some sharp eyesight. After looking up and down, he quickly realized that this person was a messenger from the Liaodong Economic and Strategic Yamen, who was responsible for delivering important documents between Beijing and Liao. He hurriedly ordered the switch to let him go.

The messenger had already heard the sound of the drawbridge opening, and without exchanging greetings with the general who was hurrying down the city, he ran towards the west gate without stopping.

Along the way, I met Yicheng, a post station in Shanhaiguan, and said that he had prepared delicious food and wine, and asked him to rest for a night after using it, and then leave tomorrow.

The messenger ran past Yi Cheng like a gust of wind, clasping his fists again and again:

"Nowadays the border war is tense, and the strategy will be explained to me. This newspaper cannot be delayed for a moment. I thank you for your kindness. Take some dry food and pickles, and eat as you go!"

"It's just that the next post station is still far away, so I beg my lord to choose a good horse!"

Hearing the words "Border customs are tight", the postman's heart tightened, and he hurriedly replied: "You don't need to worry about traveling, the noodles, bread and stewed meat are all ready-made, bring some more for the mission."

"As for the foot strength, there is no need to worry about the mission. Since the report is urgent, you have to choose two good horses for the mission, so you can transfer on the way!"

Not long after, the dry food for the horses was ready. Although the postman had a high official position, he was still polite and wanted to curry favor with the messenger from Jinglue Mansion.

Before leaving, I specially gave a small pot of cooked wine as a gift to quench my thirst on the way.

The messenger cupped his hands in thanks, got on his horse and galloped away.

Yicheng watched the messenger go away, leaving behind a line of flying dust, shook his head and murmured:

"First Fushun, then Qinghe. If the first half of the third year of Qi has not yet passed, Liaoshen suffered another military disaster, and the Fuyuwei War has just ended. When will I, the people of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, be able to enjoy the peaceful years!"

One person approached and sneered: "The Jiannu family must be wiped out!"

Yicheng turned his head and saw that it was Gao Di, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, so he bowed his hands and left without saying anything more.

……

The urgent report from Liaodong was sent to the capital one by one in this way.

About two days later, the courier changed to six new horses, entered from Yongding Gate, and delivered the urgent report to the desk of Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War without stopping.

Chapter 371 The Ministry of War is going to work overtime tonight

Zhu Youxiao, who heard the news, was stroking cats in the cat pavilion at the time, having a great time.

Hearing that it was Xiong Tingbi's urgent report, Zhu Youxiao went back to Xinuang Pavilion with his favorite blue cat in his arms, leaving the mess inside to the palace people to clean up.

You come here for shoveling shit, I'm only responsible for masturbation, Zhu Youxiao has always known that he is a person who distinguishes between public and private.

Soon, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and others were also summoned, with happy faces.

Everyone received gifts and sat in Xinuange next to Emperor Tianqi.

Zhu Youxiao said with a rather weird smile: "Xiong Tingbi, at that time, I thought that the person who can make the courts and civil courts vie for impeachment must have the real ability to anger these people. Now it seems that it is true. !"

Although Cui Chengxiu is in charge of the Ministry of War, compared to his predecessor Zhang Heming, he is like a military general who has come out of the battlefield. He is very strong, and his speech and demeanor are not as delicate as that of a civil servant.

Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and the others naturally apologized, but in fact they were like mirrors in their hearts. Emperor Tianqi's words were obviously praising Xiong Tingbi, but in fact he was bragging, saying that he was right to support Xiong Tingbi against all opinions.

Indeed, such a great victory in the city of Liaoyang almost destroyed Jiannu's Zhenghuang Banner in one battle, and he almost chopped off Amin's dog's head and presented it to the capital. Isn't that enough for His Majesty?

Speaking of which, Xiong Tingbi's style of play was really dangerous.

Not to mention Jiannu, this kind of play is reported to the capital in advance, and I am afraid that it will not even pass the public opinion of the Ministry of War, so Cui Chengxiu is very fortunate that he did not follow Zhang Heming's old path.

If the Ministry of War intervened in the war in Liaoyang, there would be no great victory, and I'm afraid there would still be a crime of falling.

Cui Chengxiu knew very well that he knew little about military affairs, and might not even be as good as Wang Huazhen, but he also knew his position very well.

Why was he promoted to be in charge of the military department?

Not because I am familiar with military affairs, but because I am obedient and know when to delegate power and when to intervene.

For example, Cui Chengxiu made a decisive decision and forcibly deposed Yuan Chonghuan in the name of the Ministry of War, and sent him back to Beijing under custody, with Zu Dashou in charge of Ningyuan's soldiers.

Zhu Youxiao later found out that instead of being angry, he was rewarded instead.

In addition, Cui Chengxiu made a statement on behalf of the Ministry of War in advance, saying that Xiong Tingbi alone was in charge of the Liaoshen war, and the Ministry of War would no longer intervene.

Zhu Youxiao also understands that it's not that Cui Chengxiu understands righteousness, but that he knows how to advance and retreat.

The Ministry of War did not intervene in Liaoshen during the war, which not only avoided the implication of guilt after the fall, but also knew that it would add to the chaos. You must know that Zhang Heming was dismissed because of his disorderly command that led to a big defeat.

Cui Chengxiu is flattering Wei Zhongxian, but he is very smart.

Zhu Youxiao put him in the military department temporarily. When there is a better candidate in the future, the military department will be replaced by someone else, but Cui Chengxiu will always be by his side.

As an emperor, he likes such courtiers the most.

Now that it is mentioned, many people still have lingering fears.

It took a lot of effort to defend the city, but Xiong Tingbi dared to push all of them out and lay in ambush outside the city. It took a lot of courage and courage.

What if the whole army came to build slaves?

What if Amin is smart this time and won't be fooled?

Didn't the Liaoshen war completely collapse...

Having said that, the great victory under the city of Liaoyang really brought a big surprise to Emperor Apocalypse and his ministers in the capital.

Not long ago, there were still discussions here. The mainstream view was that if they wanted to win this time, they could only wait for Zhu Xieyuan's reinforcements and Mao Wenlong to copy them.

No one thought that Xiong Tingbi would win a real victory with the weak against the strong before the arrival of the reinforcements!

Cui Chengxiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the most elite Zhenghuang Banner was damaged under the city of Liaoyang. This time, the slave chief probably has only two choices. Either jump over the wall and attack Liaoyang, or withdraw his troops and negotiate peace with Daming."

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, the joy on his face gradually calmed down, and he was silent in thought.

Liaoyang has [-] troops stationed, and the city is strong and deep. After Xiong Tingbi's personal rectification, the soldiers are brave, there is no shortage of pay, and the food reserves are enough to supply the whole city for more than a year.

The Liaoyang garrison also has a complete range of firearms, such as Zhenlu cannon and Suifai blunderbuss, and there are also Tianjin and Denglai naval divisions in the south, so they are not afraid of Jiannu attacking the city at all.

Unless the slave chiefs risk their lives and take Liaoyang at the expense of the Jurchen massacres, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Jiannu to capture Liaoyang.

Nurhachi claims to have an army of 20, and Zhu Youxiao knows in his heart that most of these troops are cannon fodder with low combat effectiveness.During the three years of Tianqi, it is impossible for the elite of the Eight Banners to reach [-].

The real strength and quality of the Eight Banners Army reached its peak when Huang Taiji was in power, and after Dorgon became an adult, these two men were even more terrifying opponents than Nurhachi.

This time a group was buried under the city of Liaoyang. Even if Nurhachi really risked his life to lead the attack and fight him, he might not be able to break through Liaoyang.

What's more, Nurhachi still needs enough troops to maintain the stability of the area occupied by Houjin, deter Horqin and North Korea, and also needs the Eight Banners Army not to lose too much.

This victory under the city of Liaoyang was won by surprise.

Xiong Tingbi really listened to the six directions, looked in all directions, and judged Nurhachi's intention to take advantage of the wind and sand to go south in advance, and used Amin's mentality as the weakness of the Eight Banners Army, killing him with one blow.

But on the board of strength, Hou Jin still has an absolute advantage.

Zhu Youxiao put one hand on the cat, but his thoughts had already drifted to the land of Liaodong thousands of miles away.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice:

"Cui Aiqing, when you go back today, you will call a meeting to discuss the solution. This great victory has not come easily, and we must not waste the chance that the frontier soldiers fought so hard to get back!"

……

Soon, the second and third urgent reports were sent to the capital overnight.

The Ministry of War was in the meeting when it received the urgent report, and the continuous urgent reports made the meeting prolonged until late at night when the moon was hanging, and the Ministry of War Hall was still brightly lit.

The officials sat around on the sand table in the middle of the lobby, thinking about how to deal with it.

With the arrival of the second and third urgent reports, all the officials of the Ministry of War also changed their usual slow-moving style and became anxious.

For these two urgent reports, Cui Chengxiu also quickly forwarded them to the palace. Unlike the previous ones, Emperor Tianqi's reaction to these two letters is said to be a bit big.

According to the sign in the palace, Emperor Tianqi was "outraged" after reading the third urgent report, and immediately decided to call the Jiuqing Kedao in the morning of tomorrow to hold an emergency court meeting.

In this case, it is urgent for the Ministry of War to get an opinion and submit it to the emperor for a decision at the court meeting the next day.

The emperor is about to go to court!
