After saying that Guanning Iron Cavalry, Yang Sichang then pointed to the vast prairie in the north: "The border army easily lost two passes this time, and it is difficult to escape the blame, the Military Aircraft Department can immediately order, let them immediately reorganize the team, cut off the road for Jiannu to return to the north, and at the same time move closer to Zunhua and oppress the activity space of Jiannu, so that there is no need to alarm the people and horses in other regions, we can solve this enemy on the spot." ”

That's right, and the hundreds of thousands of border troops on the vast grasslands in the north, how can everyone forget about this stubble?

The reason why everyone forgets about the border army is because the border army has not made a penny from the imperial court in recent years, and the imperial court has not been able to give money, and the border army has to mutiniate several times a year, which makes the border army have a very strong presence in the imperial court.

But since being cultivated by Lu Hanqiang to rob the habit, the border army has never mutinied, and there is no trouble, so unconsciously, everyone has forgotten about this army, only when the Ministry of War assesses the performance of the national generals, everyone thinks of the general soldiers of the nine sides, but those general soldiers of the imperial court's evaluation, the imperial court's salary has not been cared about at all, these general officers sit at various passes, and the merchants who come and go collect taxes, according to the rules set by Lu Hanqiang, leave three percent for themselves, just these three percent, The annual income is more than the income in this life, so everyone also deliberately, slowly faded out of the court's field of vision, not fade out, no, in case it is too high-profile, by the imperial court, then this piece of fat may not be able to eat the mouth, such as who is who, is too high-profile, want to upgrade to another level, the result is not really optimistic about him, so he was transferred to the south to be a southern military officer, this is good, with a group of poor soldiers like Hanako, tired like dogs in the south, not to mention that military merits are not fast to get, not to mention, is not treated by the governors of various places, that is a lesson from the past, it is better for everyone to make a fortune quietly.

So now the generals of the border army, in previous years, during the New Year's holidays, have cut their heads and run to Beijing, jumping up and down, hoping to transfer out of that bitter cold and barren place, even if it is a downgrade to use, they are willing, now, even if you send a document to transfer him over, saying that he will give him a Beijing official who was out of their reach, he will definitely give you a push, headache and butt pain, just don't come.

Therefore, there was such a strange phenomenon in the Ming court, the most headache in previous years, the border army, now it is the most stopped, in previous years, it was a bitter cold place, and now there are no complaints, so everyone slowly forgot about the border army.

At this time, everyone remembered that the border army ate dry rice, although he didn't eat the dry rice of the imperial court, then there was still a country in trouble, and the husband was responsible, right? You don't care whose dry food you eat, after all, it is against the establishment of our Ming border army, and at this time, you must serve this court.

So he immediately ordered the clerk to write to the nine towns of the border army, and asked them to immediately reorganize their ranks and go south to cut off the back road of the Qing army.

Of course, at this time, everyone also knows that it is indeed very troublesome to be anxious about the border army now, because the entire border army has already herded sheep, and the Mongolian region that is larger than the Ming Empire, just those border troops, like sprinkling sesame seeds, are sprinkled everywhere, just send these documents to them, you may not find him, and these border troops are no longer eating the food and salary of the imperial court, they are already so rich, even if they receive the order to assemble, people may not be able to come, the reason for not coming is that the sea is gone, you really take it, He couldn't help it. However, the documents have to be sent, the process has to go, and whether they come or not depends on everyone's conscience.

Yang Sichang's method is practical, Lu Xiangsheng is very satisfied with this strategy, unifying nearly 100,000 horses from far and near, dealing with the enemy's 40,000 tired divisions, if the army after this military reform can not completely annihilate them, then there is really no hope for this Ming Dynasty.

After careful discussion and study by all the members present, it was a feasible strategy, so everyone stopped mentioning Lu Hanqiang's return of aid, and finally formed a resolution, and then Lu Xiangsheng took this strategy and hurried to Sun Chengzhong's cabinet residence to communicate with him.

The news that the Qing soldiers entered Kou Gyeonggi again was known to the cabinet for a long time, and several cabinet scholars were civil servants, and they were absolutely familiar with handling government affairs at ordinary times, but once it came to the military, they could accuse each other and talk about it in peacetime, but when the soldiers really came to the city, they became at a loss, of course, some people secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and at this time they quarreled in front of Sun Chengzong, but there were no practical constructive opinions at all, but they took out the true colors of literati, and blamed each other, this said that they wanted to impeach this, The one who said that he wanted to impeach that, and then from the current military crisis, quickly spread to the personal style of those people who wanted to be impeached, and finally everyone scolded the culprit Lu Hanqiang together, and almost unanimous in wanting to crush Lu Hanqiang.

Sun Chengzhong really couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly banged on the table angrily and yelled: "Shut up for me." Listen to me, everybody. ”

Sun Chengzhong's roar immediately played a role in determining the world, and the other cabinet scholars shut up one after another, and all the people couldn't help but let out a long breath in their hearts: "In fact, we are so messing around, talking about the east and the west, not talking about the topic, not just waiting for your words, we are all waiting to hear what you say, when the time comes, what do you say, victory, we all have merit, failure, this black pot is you alone, this is our current mentality." ”

Sun Chengzong gasped for breath for a while, and said calmly: "According to the division of labor in the imperial court, we are only in charge of government affairs, and military problems are handled by the Military Aircraft Department, but everyone must remember that the country and the dynasty are one, although the division of labor is different, but we must go all out to cooperate, now we are waiting for the Military Aircraft Department to come up with a strip, there is a need for us to do it, everyone here must go all out, if any of you dare to pull back the legs at this time of national disaster, make a stick, even if the official gives up this life, he will have to fight with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other cabinet members immediately gave in to each other, and then they all patted their chests to express their righteousness.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng entered the yamen of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong got up to greet him and asked bluntly: "What decision did the military aircraft department make about the Qing army's entry into the Kou this time?" What do you need from my cabinet? ”

So Lu Xiangsheng simply informed Sun Chengzong of the collegial meeting of the Military Aircraft Department, and Sun Chengzong patted his chest on the spot and said that his cabinet would fully support the decision of the Military Aircraft Department, and let local officials at all levels actively cooperate with the mobilization of troops in various places.

Of course, Sun Chengzong also consciously automated, and did not mention that Lu Hanqiang took the Fuliao army back to aid King Qin.

That is a very sensitive topic, now the delicate relationship between the emperor and Lu Hanqiang, everyone in the world can see, it is no secret, as these responsible ministers, in their hearts, it is better for these two people not to meet, and once they meet, the consequences will be quite terrible.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Sun Chengzong gratefully, and didn't say anything more, and then went into the palace with Sun Chengzong to meet Chongzhen to report.

In the end, the emperor was asked to rule on the implementation. After all, such a big thing as the dispatch of troops still requires the emperor's holy decree. It's the rule.
