please make me king

Chapter 709
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, looking down at the courtiers and workers below the court, like the calm before the storm, which made the ministers sweat coldly.After a long while, he asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Fengyi's legs and feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.He quickly took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground, weeping bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, just received an urgent trip three hundred miles from Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, lost his chance with his troops and was at a loss as to how to advance or retreat. As a result, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and almost all were lost! Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, escaped alone, and he is gathering the defeated soldiers and defending Tongguan to the death."

"Then Zuo Guang first said that as long as he is alive, he will definitely not let the thieves enter Shaanxi!"

As soon as Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, finished speaking, there was an uproar all over the court.And the Chongzhen emperor Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, almost fainting.

Fuluoyang is also in the middle of the land, the capital of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the heart of the world.Now that the heart is corrupt, the world is at stake!

What's more, the court just got the news a few days ago that another bandit raided Fengyang City, stayed behind Zhu Guoxiang, commanded Yuan Ruizheng to fight in a hurry, and unfortunately died in battle.

Yan Rongxuan, the magistrate of Fengyang, was captured by thieves and killed by a living stick in the hall. Six civil officials, including Dai Wenying, and forty-one military officials were all executed, and even more civilians were killed. Tens of thousands of people.

The tombs of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were all destroyed, and the rest of the imperial mausoleum, Xiangdian, Longxing Temple and more than [-] pines in the mausoleum area were burned. The sun never goes out.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was distraught when he received the news that Zhongdu had fallen and the imperial mausoleum had been burned.This Japan should hold a sutra feast, and Emperor Chongzhen's special decree is exempt from it.He himself avoided the temple in plain clothes, went to the Taimiao to pray to the spirit of his ancestors, and ordered all officials to repair the province.

In a fit of rage, apart from the eunuch Yang Ze who committed suicide in fear of crime, Zhu Youjian even ordered Yang Yipeng, the censor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, to be beheaded and abandon the city.

But he never expected that there would be another wave of ups and downs. The fall of Fengyang here is not over yet, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces there, was actually defeated, and almost all the officers and soldiers were wiped out.For a time, the land from South Zhili to Henan was in jeopardy.

Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, suppressed his anger and fear, and couldn't help but vent his anger: "Where is Hong Chengchou? A few days ago, didn't he go up to ask for a reward, while swearing that he would be able to compete for it within a few days?" ?"

"Ah..." Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was a bit confused, "Now the information is chaotic, and I really don't know. However, since there is no news, either this person died accidentally in the chaos, or he absconded in fear of crime, and he has no face to face His Majesty. Ron!"

"Check! When you are born, you want to see people. When you die, I want to see the corpse!" Chongzhen ordered angrily.

The former Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng were thieves, Chongzhen still couldn't believe it at first.But he never expected that all his family members disappeared after he hesitated for a while.

So this time Chongzhen learned the lesson and continued: "You can send people to check his family members. If he really follows the thief, or absconds in fear of crime, his family members will be punished according to the law!"

"Yes, the old minister takes orders!" Zhang Fengyi knew that he had committed a serious crime, so how could he dare to speak back?He had no choice but to remind: "I think that besides this, the top priority is to restore Shaanxi's defense line as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Shun bandits are allowed to invade Shaanxi, the world will be in chaos!"

Chongzhen calmed down for a while, held back the anger in his heart for now, and asked, "I don't know how Aiqing thinks it is appropriate to deal with it now?"

"This..." Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War hesitated for a moment, and quickly responded, "This is not a matter of the minister's duty. Since His Majesty has a question, the minister has no choice but to answer."

"As far as I can see, the previous 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation' is not very flawed. Unfortunately, the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, used his troops in a disadvantageous manner, so that the thieves became bigger. Now Shanxi has the governor Wu Zhen, and Huguang has the governor Tang Hui. For the time being No worries, only Shaanxi Hong Chengchou was newly defeated, and the dragons had no leader; Henan governor Xuanmo died in battle, and no one restrained him."

"If the officers and soldiers can't reorganize the defense in time, I'm afraid that the bandits may take the opportunity to attack Shaanxi and collect the elite from the three sides to cause trouble, and the situation will be unstoppable; or take the opportunity to conquer Kaifeng and fall to the feudal king again Reciprocating with the thieves in Southern Zhili, causing disasters in Henan and Shandong, and taking the opportunity to look at the northern and southern capitals, it will be even more terrifying in the world, and no one can stop it!"

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.If this is the case, where is the Great Ming Dynasty?Didn't he become the king of subjugation?
At this point, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help asking: "Then how should we act in Aiqing's opinion?"

Zhang Fengyi frowned, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and replied: "In my opinion, the most urgent task is to appoint a governor in time to stabilize the situation in Shaanxi and Henan for the time being. As for the Fengyang matter, we should send some elite frontier troops to assist Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian recaptures the central capital and wipes out the bandits!"

Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard the words, this is where he admired Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War.In fact, in the original history, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the Chongzhen Dynasty was the most difficult to be. He often lost his official position and even lost his wealth and life without getting hot.

Only Zhang Fengyi served as Minister of the Ministry of War for the longest time and won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.The reason is simple, that is, he can provide solutions, do practical things, and make suggestions for Chongzhen.

In just a moment, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was able to come up with such a plan. Although it was quite satisfactory, it was an old-fashioned way of seeking the country after all.

"Is the new governor of Shaanxi here?" Chongzhen thought for a while and asked hastily.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Gan Xuekuo, who took the place of the former governor of Shaanxi to practice state affairs, has been away for a long time, and he should have taken office!" Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, quickly responded, "It's just that this person doesn't know what his skills are yet, and he still needs to practice!"

The original governor of Shaanxi, Lian Guo, had already been removed from his post and investigated because of the criticism of Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, so there was no one in charge of the whole of Shaanxi for a while.

Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, understood Chongzhen's intentions. He planned to promote the governor of Shaanxi to the front line first, and hold on for a while.It's just a matter of weight, Wen Tiren didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so he had to stick to the important thing.

"Then who can take on this important task, can Mr. Wen choose someone?" Chongzhen frowned, Shaanxi was so empty for a while?
"Your Majesty, forgive me. At this time, I believe that talents should be selected in an eclectic manner. The former right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of Qiandu, the governor of Jiliao Baoding military affairs, Fu Zonglong, who is at home, can take on this role!

According to Wen Tiren, Fu Zonglong, courtesy name Zhonglun, was born in Kunming, Yunnan.He once made great contributions to the suppression of An Bangyan's rebellion. Later, after the Jisi Incident, he was recommended by Sun Chengzong to serve as governor of Shuntian and governor of Jiliao successively.

Because the Jin army besieged Datong after last year, the officers and soldiers were ineffective in fighting, and he was implicated and cut his membership at home.It's just that the imperial court had no choice but to elect him again now that it was time for them to employ people.
