Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 215 Shenshi is the easiest and the end is the hardest
After so many years of hard work by Zhu Qizhen, the power of the eunuch is still quite strong now.

Although Zhu Qiyu didn't trust eunuchs very much after he ascended the throne, the historical inertia is still there.

In the Yanghekou fiasco that Shi Heng experienced last time, the blind command of the eunuch Guo Jing played a very negative role.

Now Xing'an came again, which made Shi Heng and Sun Tong both helpless and resentful.

On the other hand, the other two great eunuchs are much better. The eunuch Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, has led troops to fight for a long time, so he naturally understands Shi Heng.Cheng Jing was born as a Jinshi, with a calm personality. Although he has no military knowledge, he has self-knowledge, and he is unwilling to do things that laymen command experts.

At the end of the quarrel between the two parties, Xing'an asked a sharp question: "Then what do you think we should do? Our [-] army can't just stay in Daomaguan forever? Just stare like this?"

This really caught Shi Heng and Sun Tong aback. If you go forward, you may enter the ambush circle; if you go back or stay where you are, it is really unreasonable.

At this time, Liu Yongcheng, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said: "We have nothing to do. Why did we come to Daomaguan? At that time, we went directly from Zijingguan to Shanxi, and rushed to Datong before the Oala army."

Everyone thought it was the same, everyone was surrounded by the emperor's strategic deployment, and people only thought of relying on the dangerous pass to attack back and forth. In fact, it doesn't have much strategic significance at all if they don't defend the pass.

It also depends on the fall of Maguan too fast, and the army on the West Road marched too slowly.However, if it only takes two more days to carry Maguan, or if the West Road army arrives two days earlier, the situation will suddenly be different.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Xing'an is right, the army can only march towards Datong, there is no other choice.

Yang Shan, the counselor for military affairs, also stood up and made a final decision at this time: "Divide the troops. The army is divided into three teams, and a little distance is opened. No matter which team is ambushed first, the remaining two armies can also be rescued in time."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words. This was the only feasible way they could think of.

So the [-] army was divided into three teams. The front team was [-] troops led by Sun Tong, Xing'an, and Yang Shan, and the rear team was [-] troops led by Liu Yongcheng, Liu Ju, and Cheng Jing.

And Shi Heng, Shi Biao, and Jin Ying led a main force of [-] in the center, ready to respond to the front and back.

This kind of arrangement was relatively safe. Xing'an and Yang Shan, who were active in the main battle, were arranged in the front team. Everyone knew that they were the emperor's cronies, and they had to carry the ambush first.

In three days, the army traveled 250 miles all the way in the mountainous area, and arrived at Hunyuan County safely without any danger.

The army set up camp to rest, and Shi Heng and others gathered again in the Chinese army tent to discuss matters.

Xing'an was triumphant, and the journey went very smoothly, at most there was only a small group of Oala cavalry harassing them. The facts were in front of them, and Xing'an was right. Yexian's main force was indeed ahead and went to Datong to rest.

Now even Shi Heng began to doubt himself, could Xing'an really be right?Everyone is being too careful?In fact, it is not as complicated as everyone thinks?
At this time, it was less than a hundred miles away from Datong, and there was only an inconspicuous Matou Mountain in front of it.From the valley at the foot of Matou Mountain, after only twenty miles, we entered the plain.Then go straight for another sixty miles and arrive at the foot of Datong City, which is considered to be completely safe.

Next, everyone discussed a marching plan, and then returned to the camp to rest, preparing to recharge their batteries and finish the last journey tomorrow.

……

On the second day, the army set off early.In the capital, Zhu Qiyu also got up early and came to the West Flower Hall to go to court.

At this time, there were three new faces in the hall, one was Luo Tong, the left servant of the Ministry of War;

Zhu Qiyu looked at the three of them with a smile on his face, and felt much more at ease: Luo Tong is a tough fighter, with deep qualifications and experience, and extremely strong abilities.

Hand over the Ministry of War to Luo Tong, and let Jiang Yuan assist.Then let Huang Pu serve as the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and Chen Jian as the doctor of the Ministry of War, and supervise the Ministry of War for himself.

Looking back, I will find a reliable military department and put him in the matter, and I will be able to firmly control the military department in my hands.

Looking at He Wenyuan again, it is even more comforting: "The father has the world, and it should be passed on to the son." This is the word of a loyal minister.

Much better than those wall weeds that sway from side to side.

Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a relatively fair and peaceful centrist, neither biased towards the Supreme Emperor nor the new monarch.Moreover, he has always been honest and strict, and does not follow personal interests, so he is a suitable candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

So far, there are five cabinet members: Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Zhou Chen, Jiang Yuan, and He Wenyuan, forming the emperor's ruling team.

But Hu Wei, Wang Zhi, Shang Ren, Peng Shi, and Zhu Qiyu simply regarded them as non-existent.

There are also two ministers of the Ministry of War, Wang Ji and Yu Qian, who want to go back to Beijing to compete with the emperor for military power, but they have no way.

It’s okay to be promoted, to be promoted, to be rewarded with gold and silver, to beauties, and to be reused in Nanjing, but if you want to go back to Beijing, you can only be sorry.

There are also Zhu Yi, Duke of Cheng, Guo Sheng, Marquis of Cheng'an, Gao Yuan, Bo Jianping, and Jiao Jing, Prince Consort.

So Zhu Qiyu first smiled at Luo Tong: "Luo Aiqing, I will leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to you and Jiang Aiqing in the future. You two discuss it, and if there is something that cannot be decided, you will report it to me.

In addition, I have already appointed Chen Jian as the doctor of Fangsi, and when the war is over, I will make Huang Pu the doctor of Wuxuan.When the time comes, you guys will work well together, don't let me worry about the affairs of the Ministry of War anymore. "

Luo Tong quickly thanked him.Luo Tong was very willing to work with Huang Pu.The last time Huang Pu was sent as an envoy to Wala, passing through Juyongguan, he made some suggestions for Luo Tong, which made Luo Tong firmly stand in the right team.Now that Luo Tong is successfully in charge of one, it seems that his official career will be prosperous, so he is naturally very grateful to Huang Pu.

Zhu Qiyu exchanged pleasantries with Wang Ao and He Wenyuan again, and then everyone started talking about serious business.

Zhu Qiyu held up a military newspaper, waved it casually, and asked everyone: "You all know without looking at it, the pocket array I carefully arranged was broken first.

After the reversing horse pass, the Ming army collapsed, Sun Xiang and Han Qing died in battle, and the main force only lost 2000 people before they escaped.

I am afraid that it has already arrived in Datong to start repairing.Shi Heng has led an army of [-] to pursue and enter Shanxi, what should you do next? "

When Luo Tong heard this, he immediately asked curiously, "Did Shi Heng's army not be ambushed in Shanxi?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head affirmatively.

Luo Tong continued: "That's weird. According to Yexian's fighting style, he will definitely ambush. If the [-] Ming army enters and reaches the city of Datong, Yexian will be passive."

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "Hey, there is no way, I don't know the art of war. Besides, the general is out, and the emperor's order is not acceptable. It takes six or seven days to pass the military report, and we can't do it thousands of miles away. Command them.

It can only let them act cheaply, besides, Shi Heng, Sun Tong, and Liu Yongcheng are already the most powerful generals in the northern army of the Ming Dynasty.

If you don't trust them, who else can you trust? It might be even worse if you change someone else. "

When Luo Tong heard this, he slandered in his heart: "Wala killed more than 4 people in the capital, and you, the emperor, dare to say that you don't understand the art of war!"Maybe you really don't know the art of war, but you are absolutely proficient at controlling people's hearts.I don't know where I got the inspiration from, but I actually dug up such great treasures as Daning Dusi and Yingzhouwei.

Then they captured Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, and Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan, and took over the Shaanxi Frontier Army and Tian Cewei.

The Guangda Ningdusi family provided the emperor with seven standard guards.

So the battle lasted for a long time, and at the last look, the emperor was the biggest winner and became the leader of the Ming army. What is this called? '

But you can think so in your heart, but you can't say it like that, Luo Tong still expects to follow the emperor to prosperity.
