Chapter 698 Changing Face


Chapter 698 changed his face to support Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe to deal with Huang Taiji, and this answer made Quan Xu very dissatisfied.It's not that he doesn't know the plans of the General Staff, in fact, it is precisely because he knows the plans of the General Staff that Quan Xu is not satisfied.As early as April of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the news of Huang Taiji's accession to the throne reached the capital, although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty collectively shouted for war, and some people even shouted that Chongzhen was the puppet of Quanxu, which made Emperor Chongzhen furious.In addition to being angry, Emperor Chongzhen also began to worry that Quan Xu's influence was too great!

The relationship between the monarch and the minister is harmonious, everything is okay, but what about the future?

Can the prince really harness this unruly lion?

In fact, even if you can control it, it will not be appropriate for you to go on like this in the long run, but I am afraid that in less than 20 years, the whole world will only know that there is everything, and I don't know that there is Zhu, right?

He was originally a suspicious person, but in the past few years, Quan Xu and Lu Xiangsheng have done a really good job, and many things don't need him to worry about at all, so he didn't make any trouble, and now he has encountered a great change that has not been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty......

This nightmare was so terrifying that it woke Emperor Chongzhen from his deep sleep, covered in cold sweat, and stared at him in horror in the dark night.Empress Zhou was awakened and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Emperor Chongzhen gasped slightly: "No, it's nothing, it's just a nightmare." ”Empress Zhou asked, "Something to do with Jiannu?"

”Emperor Chongzhen said, "Hmm." ”Empress Zhou wiped the cold sweat on her forehead for Emperor Chongzhen with her sleeve: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Jiannu is the emperor against the sky, it seems to be rampant, but in fact it is killing herself."

Let's let them run rampant for a while, and when the king of Shang rearmament, as soon as the merchant army comes out, their end will come!

”The first half was fine, but when he heard the second half, Emperor Chongzhen's brows slowly twisted up, and he said in a deep voice: "Except for Quan Xu, no one can deal with Jiannu?"

”Empress Zhou was slightly stunned, knowing that she had committed Emperor Chongzhen: "Naturally not, like Sun Ge Lao, Inspector Lu, and Governor Hong, they are all excellent Confucian generals, but Quanqing is brave and invincible, and he has a better chance of winning." ”Emperor Chongzhen snorted: "Long hair, short knowledge!"

”Emperor Chongzhen ignored the empress and closed his eyes again.It's just that he can't sleep anymore, and the scene in the dream repeatedly appears in front of him, bloody and terrifying, which makes his heart beat.It's not that he is too careful, since ancient times, there will be no good results for weak monarchs and strong ministers, and Queen Zhou's words made Chongzhen realize that Quan Xu is fully capable of becoming a figure like Cao Cao and Wang Mang, although Quan Xu swore to him that he would not become Cao Cao, but the problem is that he will not become Cao Cao, but his son will become Emperor Wei Wen."

I must stop this!

I can't leave such a big hidden danger to the crown prince!

”In the dark, Emperor Chongzhen secretly made up his mind.If you want to stop all this, you must rebel against the majesty of the heavenly family, so that the whole world knows that the majesty of heaven is unpredictable.Quan Xu's prestige was accumulated in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, and the power technique had no effect on him, the only thing that could suppress his prestige was to drive his own conquest and destroy Jiannu, so that the whole world would know that the descendants of the Zhu family were also very capable of fighting!

The next morning, the ministers were still crying and clamoring to send troops to attack Kulun, Emperor Chongzhen looked around at everyone, and said slowly: "I have decided to send an elite army to attack Kulun, kill Jiannu, and let them know the consequences of going against the sky. ”The ministers were stunned, and it took a while to react, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "My emperor Shengming!"

Long live our emperor!

”In the past, which emperor wanted to drive the expedition in person, I was afraid that the ministers would have to jump up and rebel, but this time even the most eventful officials did not object, but sang an ode: "Your Majesty does not avoid the wind and frost and the arrows, the royal drive is pro-conquest, this kind of courage is rare in ancient times, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are also greatly inferior, my emperor is really the first Ming monarch of the ages!"

”Chongzhen was quite intoxicated by this sycophant, and secretly said that he had made the right bet.However, he also knew that he could eat a few bowls of rice, so he ordered: "Eight hundred miles to hurry, summon Inspector Lu to Beijing to discuss the war!"

As soon as grain, straw, carts, horses, and weapons are needed, the military department and the household department must immediately start raising them, and there must be no mistakes!

”There was another tsunami-like sound of long live.From King Hailing to Louis IX, there are really many emperors who have raised troops because of a dream, and no matter whether they have a sweet dream or a nightmare, it will eventually lead to an overwhelming nightmare.Now that Emperor Chongzhen has made the same mistake, will his luck be a little better than these unlucky bastards?

Thanks to Quan Xu's cheap mother-in-law, Concubine Li Kang, because her palace was an internal response, she used cosmetics and luxury goods to attract a large number of palace ladies and eunuchs, and even many eunuchs and palace ladies also saw that the Ming Dynasty was actually twilight, while the Shang State was thriving, and it was only a matter of time before the Shang State banned the Ming Dynasty.Only three days later, even the private words of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou reached Jinzhou in Liaoyang Prefecture, and due to the establishment of the Shang State, Quan Xu did not directly hand over everything to him, and the General Staff had the power to receive such information.Saying that Jiannu's meticulous work is pervasive, this is simply.Quanxu is managed at the three levels of town, fort, and A, and sets up neighborhood committees in the city, and cooperates with the urban management and the militia.In particular, Zhu Zhaoyi's proposal of 19 Jiannu meticulous attacks on the merchant army transport team in Beizhen Prefecture is even more of a joke, a convoy does not need too much, only needs to carry four heavy machine guns, a dozen light machine guns, don't look at dozens or hundreds of people, even if hundreds or thousands of people and horses, they can rush to the convoy, they are awesome.As for the loss of weapons and equipment, it was a complete accident, and an employee of the transport company involved in the transportation panicked when he was attacked, failed to control the frightened horse, and as a result, a carriage with a fuse rushed straight to the carriage loaded with collodion.Generally speaking, collodion is an extremely safe explosive, whether it is fire or shooting, it can not be detonated at all, and the fuse and collodion are transported separately during transportation, which is good, the extremely flammable fuse and collodion collide together, forming conditions that can be detonated, so 20 tons of collodion exploded, detonating 16 tons of shells and more than 2 million bullets.Even the attackers and transport personnel suffered more than 300 casualties, and almost all were wiped out.Now in the General Staff of the Shang Kingdom, Quan Xu Liang did not speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little frightening.Quan Xu pointed at Zhu Zhaoyi and said: "I have made up my mind, then I have no hesitation, you don't have to borrow a knife to kill, I don't bother to borrow this knife from Tartar!"

”"The weight of the two benefits is the lesser of the two evils, even if Chongzhen is looking for death, why don't we fulfill him?"

Zhu Zhaoyi looked at Quan Xu and said seriously: "The friendship between the king and Chongzhen is really the most insignificant thing in front of this general trend. ”"I will put down a sentence here today, many years ago, I was in the Forbidden City, and said to Princess Kunxing and the emperor, I want to protect their family, I can't do the rest, to ensure that their family is safe and prosperous for the rest of their lives, but there is no problem......

I'd like to see who the dares to touch the person I want to protect!

”"Your Majesty, it is impossible for you not to know how insignificant the emotional fate of individuals should be under the tide of history!

What's more, don't others say that you started this trend?

”Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "I have always been following the trend, you general staff can do your best to plan slowly, Emperor Chongzhen is now driving the pro-conquest of Jiannu, and this king will lead the pro-guard army to the north!"

”After the establishment of the Shang State, Quanxu's pro-guard brigade was promoted to the pro-guard army, and the original six regiments were upgraded to brigades, and the pro-guard army had six brigades under its jurisdiction, including the pro-guard brigade, the guard brigade, the xun guard brigade, the Yiwei brigade, the defense brigade, the hussar brigade, and the Xiao cavalry brigade, with a total of more than 50,000 people.This pro-guard army is neither subordinate to the Ministry of Defense nor to the General Staff, but is under the command of Quan Xu alone, including logistics and supplies.If Quan Xu wants to lead the pro-guard army to the Northern Expedition to Jiannu, then the whole family army will definitely not be like Chongzhen in Beijing City, don't look at the time when there is no war, one of the hundred civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty is counted as one, and it is called earth-shattering.But when Chongzhen ordered the royal conquest, the reaction was intriguing.In addition to Quanxu's whole family army, that is, the current merchant army, the Ming Dynasty is not without an army that can fight, the first place is Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, after last year's setbacks and losses, the current Tianxiong army still has 60,000 or 70,000 horses, controlling Xuanfu, Datong Jiubian and Shengle and other large areas of land, ruling tens of millions of people.In second place belongs to the Shandong New Army, which is most influenced by Quanxu, and now the Shandong New Army has eight battalions, with a number of more than 40,000 and less than 50,000, and the equipment is equivalent to that of the whole family army three years ago, and the firearms and armor of the Tianxiong Army are almost the same, and they control the six prefectures and 45 counties of Shandong Province.The third belongs to the Sichuan army under the jurisdiction of Qin Liangyu, with more than 20,000 people and less than 30,000, and is poorly equipped, but it has a tenacious will to fight, and its ability to fight in the mountains is super strong, and it is not afraid of death, and it is flexible and mobile.The fourth belongs to the Qin army just formed by Sun Chuanting, because the time is too short, it is dominated by 8,000 Qin army pikemen, and the equipment is also poor, and the biggest advantage is that it has 3,000 Ganliang cavalry.When Lu Xiangsheng received the order, his first reaction was Hu Lai.Lei Shisheng was very dissatisfied and said to Yang Shien, who had become Lu Xiangsheng's right-hand man: "Those bastards in the military department are really going back more and more, and now it is the time of wind farming, and the army is going out at this time, and a large number of people will be mobilized. ”Yang Shien sighed: "Lord Lei, when did those bastards in the military department be reliable?"

If they really knew the soldiers, why did they let our group of bitter haha sweep the entire Mobei in the first place?

”Lei Shisheng laughed: "That's it!

They're just going to come blind!

”Yang Shien sighed, "Alas, it is said that the war is fierce and dangerous, and it is related to the life and death of the country, how can it become so light to fight in the eyes of those big masters, if you want to fight, you can fight, and if you want not to fight, you won't fight?"

”Lu Xiangsheng groaned: "I'm afraid it's not all the chaos of the military department......

Huang Taiji defended the sky and claimed the emperor, which is a great shame for the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty must react, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the people of Li and the ancestors!

In terms of timing, this battle should not be fought, but from the perspective of His Majesty, it will not work if it is not fought!

”War and politics are always entangled and cannot be separated, and many times they cannot be fought militarily, but politically they must be fought, and they have to be fought even if they know that they may lose; And sometimes you can't fight even if you know you can win!

The emperor is disgraced and the courtier must react.Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng is duty-bound, and now the powerful Oirat Mongols have returned from the Yenisei River and the Volga River Valley, returned to the war group, and are eyeing Shengle, and the Tianxiong army has tried its best to block this wave of Bo Mongolian army outside the fortress, if the army is transferred at this time, there will be a huge gap in the entire defense line, and the consequences are unpredictable!

It should be said that Lu Xiangsheng still has a clear understanding of the war situation, but unfortunately, his concept of "the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers die" is also very heavy, and after hesitating, he still ordered Li Chongshi's army stationed in Xuanfu and Jizhen to accompany him to Beijing, and the defense line was handed over to the Lei Shisheng army, the Mongolian auxiliary army, and the Shanxi border army to take over.Lei Shisheng was taken aback: "My lord, don't do it!"

The Tartars have gone crazy, our three legions must do their best to maintain the current front, if one legion is withdrawn, a big hole will appear in the originally complete defense line, and the Mongolian auxiliary army and the Shanxi border army alone will not be able to fill this big hole!

”Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "After arriving in the capital, I will persuade Your Majesty to let him dispel the idea of attacking Kulun, and the army will immediately take the division when it arrives outside the Guan, and it won't be long before this army will return to Xuanda, so you can rest assured." ”Lei Shi said: "The 100,000-strong army is on an expedition of thousands of miles, just to show off its might outside the pass?"

Isn't this a toss-up?

”Lu Xiangsheng said: "The slave chief is the emperor against the sky, if Da Ming doesn't react at all, he will make the world laugh!"

”When it came to this, Lei Shisheng could only give up: "Then adults must be careful, the capital is dangerous, far worse than Xuanda!"

”With Lu Xiangsheng returning to the capital, Chongzhen met with the Changping Army outside the capital, the most bizarre Zuo Liangyu, this little suffer, after the murder of Quan Xu, was already a capital crime, with the rift between Quan Xu and Chongzhen, and Zuo Liangyu squatted in the prison for a few months, not only was he not guilty, but he sealed Ning Nanbo.When Lu Xiangsheng arrived in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen set up a banquet in the palace to entertain him, and praised him for his outstanding achievements in operating Xuanda and repeatedly breaking Mongolia, saying: "Aiqing's merit is comparable to Li Weigong of the Tang Dynasty, if there are a few more characters like Aiqing in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be as solid as an iron bucket and as stable as a rock!"

”Lu Xiangsheng said modestly: "Thanks to the Holy Hongfu, Weichen was lucky enough to win a few games!"

”Lu Xiangsheng told Chongzhen about this change in Xuanda, Xuanda's new military land this year is as much as 8 million mu, several coal mines have been mined, and a large amount of high-quality coal has been continuously supplied to the surrounding areas, and now even ordinary people can afford to use coal.The Tianxiong Army learned from the Liaodong New Army, built five blast furnaces of 100,000 catties, which could produce more than 1 million catties of steel, as well as several fertilizer factories, several cement factories, and so on.Chongzhen listened with relish, and the two gentlemen and ministers talked and laughed, and they were very harmonious.However, when Lu Xiangsheng tried to dispel Emperor Chongzhen's idea of personally attacking Kulun, Emperor Chongzhen's face changed.
