The civil and military officials all know that the opening of this upward channel is only for the purpose of using one person, and this person is of course Huang Sheng, the prince of the Southern Kingdom, who is a very popular minister.

It's a pity that Huang Sheng was still sleeping when Chongzhen announced this major event, he only went to the court twice when he came to Jingshi, the first time was that he had just come back to see His Majesty, and the second time he got the title of Duke of Nanguo, he always had to thank Lord Longen!

Later, he didn't go to work on the grounds that he was unwell for many years, and he sang and danced in the open Nanguo Mansion to level the flower and wine ground, and a group of honors and nobles were messing around here, and the most active was the upstart Wu Xiang.

The emperor was used to Huang Sheng not going to work, so he had to send a eunuch to invite him.

Chongzhen knew that Huang Sheng didn't seem to be in any serious condition, every time he called friends to have fun at home, Zhu Youzhen didn't mind at all, the emperor was not afraid that Huang Sheng was bullying men and women and domineering, he was afraid that he would be as perfect as a saint.

This time, Chongzhen obviously knew that Huang Sheng was negotiating with him for benefits, and he also promised to give the title of county king.

The emperor thought that it was a good thing for Huang Sheng to covet the title of Daming, and he wanted to climb higher in Daming.

Chongzhen is most afraid that Huang Sheng has no desires and no desires, so it will be difficult to do, people don't care about the title of the imperial court, I am afraid that they are ready to encourage themselves, and the rebellion is afraid that it will happen soon.

The Duke of Nanguo went to court, and the civil and military officials waited and waited, and Emperor Chongzhen was also waiting for Huang Sheng to solve the crisis in Jinzhou.

Huang Sheng listened to the expectations of the emperor and the courtiers for him, and knew that everyone was saying that he would command the troops and horses to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.

Before Huang Sheng could express his position, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued an edict: "Huang Sheng, the Duke of the Southern Kingdom, leads Liaodong Jingluo, and supervises Liaozhen, Denglai, and Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses ......." ”

Huang Sheng was ignored by Liaodong in this way, but unfortunately the authority and strength of this Liaodong strategy are not at all comparable to Yuan Chonghuan's term, not only has a lot of power, but the number of people who can be mobilized is insufficient, and the quality is worrying.

This reason is also understandable, Yuan Da deceived the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty, and indeed defeated the family background of the imperial court who dared to fight.

The brave generals Mangui, Zhao Shujiao, etc. died on the battlefield, which directly led to Emperor Chongzhen, who was fooled, began to doubt his life, and of course he did not trust the minister to lead the army.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, reported on the preparations for the grain and grass of the men and horses, and now there are more than 30,000 men and horses gathered in Shanhaiguan, and there are more than 10,000 troops under the old subordinates of the southern princes, such as Heihu, Liu Guozheng, and Lu Chengzu, who can be recruited, and four or five thousand cavalry of Mongolian Taijiqing Geltai will also participate in the battle.

The civil and military officials shook their heads when they heard this, the Houjin and Mongolian coalition forces claimed to have surrounded Jinzhou with 300,000 soldiers and civilians, and the people and horses mobilized by the imperial court were not even 50,000, even if Ning Yuan also dispatched 10,000 horses, it would still be a drop in the bucket!

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Huang Aiqing, the 7,000 white pole soldiers in Shanhaiguan have long wanted to participate in the war, and this time they are all handed over to Aiqing to bring, and Aiqing has any other requirements. ”

Huang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, there are too few people and horses to relieve the siege, and I am afraid that Weichen will not be able to give a large number of casualties to the Houjin army!" ”

Yes? Completely unexpected answer. As soon as the ministers heard this, they talked about it, and the public of Nanguo took these people to Jinzhou to relieve the siege, not because they were worried that it would be difficult to succeed because there were few people, but because they were worried that they would not be able to expand the results of the war?

The civil and military officials were convinced, and the bulls in the south were broken, and they were not afraid of building slaves at all, but they regretted that there were too few people and horses to kill too much.

Chongzhen was also nervous, worried that Huang Sheng would not go, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly relaxed a lot, and he said: "It is not easy for Aiqing to be able to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, if Aiqing succeeds and returns to the teacher, I will definitely reward him." ”

The ministers were suddenly confused, and the buzz overshadowed the king's correct answer.

The Holy Son said to his face that as long as he can break the siege of Jinzhou and return to the dynasty victoriously, he will reward Huang Sheng, who is already the Duke of Nanguo, although there is no Ming, how can he afford to be rewarded without giving the title of county king?

The Ming Dynasty has not produced a prince of the opposite sex for more than 200 years, and once this prince comes out, it will be more than all the princes of the Zhu family and the prince of the county.

Since the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, they all raised the prince as a pig, and the treatment was very good, with no power, no military power, and no freedom, so he could not leave his fiefdom without authorization, and he could only be a power and fortune in his own fiefdom for a lifetime.

The life of the prince of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty is to eat, drink, drink, get drunk, dream and die, although he is clothed and fed, but he cannot display his ambitions, if anyone is not willing to live a lifetime, he may be caught by the Zongren Mansion and imprisoned in Fengyang, the capital of the capital, for a lifetime.

How would Nanguo Gong get it if he became a king with a different surname? Most of the soldiers who can fight in the Ming Dynasty are from the Huang family, and Huang Sheng is really rich and rivals the country, and he will ...... in the future.

The civil and military officials didn't dare to imagine it, and at this time they only heard the justice of Nanguo: "Your Majesty Longen, Weichen will keep it in mind, and he will definitely live up to his mission, but it is not difficult to rescue Jinzhou, and it is not easy to defeat Jiannu!" ”

Chongzhen finally felt comfortable, and said with a smile: "I know that Aiqing's forces are in a reverse trend, as long as the siege of Jinzhou is relieved and it is firmly held, Aiqing will be a complete achievement." ”

"Your Majesty is considerate, Wechen is grateful, and Wechen promises to force Jiannu to be requited by June next year. Of course, Weichen will not be merciful, and the Houjin army can come and go as much as he wants, how can there be such a cheap thing, and he must let the slave chief leave an unforgettable impression for a lifetime. ”

Huang Sheng's words were full of domineering, and after the battle, only Nan Guogong of the Jin Army could make such a deafening shout.

Listening to the civil and military officials who answered correctly in front of the king, they couldn't help but straighten their waists, and everyone was bent down by a lot of unpleasant pressure during this period of time, and now they can stand up again.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was exhausted by internal and external troubles, was particularly moved when he heard the bold words of the Duke of Nanguo, and was speechless for a long time.

Huang Sheng said again: "The Holy Son can relax, Weichen can come to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, just build a slave and don't have enough teeth, Your Majesty can wait for good news." ”

It's too arrogant, but the courtiers are not comfortable listening to it, and they haven't heard such heroic words for a long time!

Following the Black Tiger, Lu Chengzu, Liu Guozheng, Gu Shanhe, Huang Donghai and other generals of the previous dynasty, their faces were radiant, their waists were straight, and they all looked at the impassioned family head with blazing eyes.

Emperor Chongzhen still didn't say anything, waved his hand and asked Wang Chengen to bring Huang Aya, and wrote down two big words "God of War" with a wave of his hand, and Wang Chengen excitedly held it in both hands and sent it to Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng shouted: "Long live, long live!" He knelt down and saluted, then got up and unfolded the two big characters of "God of War" inscribed by the emperor's imperial pen, and held it high and circled around the Jinluan Palace.

The ministers made fun, and the mountain shouted: "My emperor is Shengming!" Hooray, hooray! , I wish the 'God of War' Nanguo Stallion success! “

Seeing that the big thing had been decided, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved, he felt a lot more relaxed, and urged several important ministers to say: "Huang Aiqing commands the army to kill the enemy, and the military department and the household department must fully assist, and the equipment, money and food must not be in arrears." ”

Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the household department, and Xiong Ming, the secretary of the military department, said when they came out of the class: "The holy son relaxes, and the ministers will spare no effort to ensure that the food and salary are paid in full." ”

Chongzhen said again: "When is Huang Aiqing going to go on the expedition?" What more? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen set off within three years, but Weichen's fiefdom has been repeatedly warned, and now the devastated population is withering, Weichen suggests that the court will try to kill as few criminal officials as possible in the future, but exile their entire clan to Qiongzhou?"

The emperor killed the minister like killing a chicken, too many scholars and doctors were furious, and at this time, seeing that Nanguo Gong proposed to try not to kill and change the sentence to exile to Hainan Island, everyone supported it.
