Chapter 176: The Heart is in the North

"In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the fortress for the fourth time, and the army commanded by Prince Rui Dolgon and Belle Yuetuo set out from Shenyang, detoured through Mongolia, broke through the Great Wall fortress from the wall ridge east of Miyun and Qingshankou east of Xifengkou, and went south along the canal to Jinan, capturing 460,000 people and animals. The imperial court urgently transferred Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of the Liaodong forward, to help. Lu Xiangsheng fought desperately, ran out of ammunition and food, and finally died. It is also known as the Wuyin Rebellion. Do you know? ”

"The Tartars have been in the Kou again and again, is it possible that they have already killed all the people who dare to fight in my Ming Dynasty? Have I been completely ashamed of all those who have been ashamed? If this is the case, then please say this again after my Zhu Cihong dies! Zhu Cihong stood still, looking at Gao Mingheng, and his emotions came from the bottom of his heart.

There was a long silence in the room.

As a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, how could Gao Mingheng not know the power of Jiannu, and he didn't know that the entire north of the empire was shrouded in a dark cloud.

It's just, as Zhu Cihong said. In the face of Jiannu, a strong enemy, under the successive fiascos, many officials have gradually lost confidence and chose to pretend to be an ostrich in internal and external troubles.

Just like the Songjin War in March this year, the hall was full of shock and panic at the beginning. But in the end, after finding that Jiannu seemed to be full of food and drink and no longer moved much, he quietly felt at ease.

"But Your Highness...... The prince of a country, not afraid of the world's suspicion? His Highness acted in this way, and His Majesty believed that His Highness was committed to the country. But people and ministers are jealous, please think twice! Gao Mingheng was shocked and sighed in his heart. His meaning is also very clear, Zhu Cihong's identity is too embarrassing. It's wonderful, but it's also brutal to create a new world to fulfill your ambitions. And. It is bound to arouse the suspicion of monarchs and ministers.

When Zhu Cihong grew up to become a self-reliant and powerful lord, he would naturally arouse the rejection of the Ming Dynasty. It also attracted the suspicion of Emperor Chongzhen. Even if the father-son relationship is deep, Zhu Cihong's several great achievements are useless.

"I don't go to hell. Who goes to hell? Zhu Cihong said softly: "The building is about to fall, and you should turn the tide alone." Yang Du, Chang Zhilang, Hu Dawei and even tens of thousands of troops are willing to follow Gu. Now, please ask the Governor to tell Gu what you want. ”

Gao Mingheng was silent, looking at Zhu Cihong's sincere eyes, and his heart was stung.

Originally, Gao Mingheng just thought that Zhu Cihong was selfish and wanted to create a new world that supported him to ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

But now. After listening to Zhu Cihong's confession and understanding Zhu Cihong's ambition, Gao Mingheng's originally firm heart began to waver a little.

On the side, Yang Wenyue said softly: "Your Highness received the battle report, Hong Chengchou has been cleared, and the battle in Liaodong is more than that. ”

Gao Mingheng's eyes widened, in his mind, in the newspaper. In the private message, the news of the successive defeats of the Songjin War kept coming into my eyes. Instead, the first battle of Dongming, the first battle of Liuyuankou, and the Kaifeng battle of Banpodian came to mind one after another.

Come to think of it. Gao Mingheng knew that the balance in his heart had shaken.

"Sometimes, the lower officials sometimes really want to be like the Han and Tang Dynasties and be a border general." Gao Mingheng sighed lightly: "Farewell." ”

Let's talk about it. Gao Mingheng bowed and turned to leave.

Yang Wenyue heard this. Sighing in disappointment. He also thought that Gao Mingheng finally chose to stand on the opposite side of Zhu Cihong.

But Zhu Cihong was not discouraged, but said softly: "Governor Gao still has great merits in his tenure as governor of Henan. If it is a military feat. Help him transfer to the post of governor of Shandong, what do you think of Governor Yang? ”

Yang Wenyue was stunned, and soon clapped his hands and shouted: "I'm afraid, this is Zhong Ping's intention!" ”

If he is in the position of governor of Henan, no matter how much Gao Mingheng wants Zhu Cihong, he must consider the contradiction between Zhu Cihong's power and the imperial court. At that time, no matter how biased Gao Mingheng is in Zhu Cihong's heart, there will always be a conflict in his position.

But if Gao Mingheng is transferred to the governor of Shandong, the pattern will be completely different.

After all, Zhu Cihong's basic plates are mainly in Henan and Kaifeng, and the tax division of Linqing is also jointly managed by the local government and the household department, and it is not considered that the governor of Shandong wants to interfere.

If it is really as Zhu Cihong said, there will be Jiannu in October, then it is naturally to fight against Zhu Cihong.

As for the difficulty, it is not very difficult.

Gao Mingheng himself has military merits, and it is not difficult to be promoted, let alone transferred to the position of governor of Shandong, which is the front line of resistance to Jiannu?

After Gao Mingheng left the Caomen camp, it was quietly quiet. Although there are still gentry attacking Hengxin Shopping Mall, the Henan Upper and Lower Government Offices no longer accept it. There was even gossip that Gao Mingheng suffered a big loss on Zhu Cihong's side and was forced to seek the post of governor of Shandong.

If Jiannu had not yet entered the Kou, the governor of Shandong would be a comforting position compared to the dilapidated Henan.

For a while, I saw that even the governor had suffered such a big loss, and he was forced to run. Henan suddenly became quiet.

In this way, Zhu Cihong can finally put all his strength on military affairs.

Zhu Cihong did not make any major moves to expand the army, but focused on combing.

At this time, the army in Zhu Cihong's hands included the Feixiong Battalion of Xu Yanqi's Department of Shandong Town, the First Infantry Battalion of Liu Sheng's Department, the Second Infantry Battalion of Shizhan State's Department, the Third Infantry Battalion of Qi Xian's Department, Liu Zhen's Cavalry Battalion, Liuquan's Artillery Battalion, as well as Li Jun, who was in charge of ordnance research and development, and Xu Hong, who was in charge of auxiliary baggage.

This is Zhu Cihong's core combat power.

In addition, there are also two battalions of Hu Dawei's headquarters under the command of the governor of Baoding, and more than 10,000 officers and troops under the command of Henan Town. These are also the combat power in Zhu Cihong's hands.

But the ownership and command structure of these armies is rather awkward.

All along, Zhu Cihong's army needed to be commanded by other titles. For example, what essentially gave Zhu Cihong legal military power was actually a position of supervising the army in Shandong Town, which was not embarrassing or embarrassing.

But how does the Shandong Town Supervision Army command Chen Yongfu's headquarters in Henan Town? How do you want to view the Hu Dawei Department under the command of the Governor of Baoding?

During the war, Zhu Cihong was able to maintain himself as the crown prince. It is necessary to dispatch Hu Dawei's department and let Yang Wenyue sign the document. If you want to order Chen Yongfu's department, you will find Gao Mingheng together.

However, if this is still the case in normal times, it is inevitable that there will be many gaps, and it will be difficult to run smoothly. After a long time, it is easy to make more elbows and leave hidden dangers in vain.

Fortunately, with the resolution of Gao Mingheng's problem, the last pass for Zhu Cihong's unified army was dispersed.

"Then, it's time to establish a military system that is integrated from top to bottom, with clear hierarchies, effective command, and adaptation to the current situation." Zhu Cihong thought, but he didn't know that a storm had been brewing thousands of miles away. (To be continued.) )

PS: I read the Ming and Qing Dynasty materials for a long time last night, and my head is big after a day. A Niu Lu is really called in different periods, and there are also Niu Lu Zhangjing, Zuo Ling, as well as Chongde, Chongzhen year name and the Gregorian calendar conversion problem...... So the recent chapter has been updated a little unstable, forgive me. After reading these materials, Weiyan will write the next volume very smoothly~

Thanks for the monthly pass~
