Chapter 611: The Public Sacrifice Ceremony

In Nanjing City, Zhu Jie slammed the music sent by Xu Yifan to the ground, and roared angrily: "Duoduo, the dog said, I will not kill you, and I will not be a man!" Swear not to be a man! ”

The ministers in the court were all shocked, the emperor's temper was a bit big in the past few days, what happened in front of him, and he was so angry that he was like this?

Sun Chuanting on the side hurriedly picked up the chapter, read it hastily, and his face also became extremely blue, in the battle of Tushan, from the chief soldier Xiao Ting down, five thousand soldiers died in battle, Duoduo actually took the soldiers who died in the battle out of anger, hung the bodies of Xiao Ting and Du Ming outside the city, and beheaded two thousand fallen soldiers and built a wall!

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! These crazy brutes! ”

Sun Chuanting scolded angrily.

Shi Kefa hurriedly asked, "Master Inspector, what happened?" ”

Sun Chuanting's tone was low, and he said astringently: "In order to stop the Qing army from rushing south to aid Fangshan, Lord Xiao Ting led the 5,000 Tianwei army to fight fiercely with the main force of the Tartars for a day, and all the 5,000 soldiers were killed. ”

Sun Chuanting just finished speaking, above the court, there was an uproar, the main force of the five thousand Tianwei army, all killed, since the emperor prepared to build Tongzhou Town, until now, the Tianwei army has never encountered such a huge setback, even the general soldiers have died in battle! Even the Daimyo's Mansion has been lost! The canal town of Dongchang Mansion also fell into the hands of the Tartars, Shandong has changed hands, the whole situation is too unfavorable for the Ming Dynasty, the east and west Tartar armies all the way to the south, unstoppable, how is this good?

"Begin to play the Emperor!"

Lu Daqi, the squire of the military department, stood up and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Dongchang Mansion and the Daimyo Mansion have been lost, and the front has been defeated one after another, all of which are due to Xu Yifan's ineffective supervision. ”

This is almost the consistent thinking of the Chongzhen Dynasty, as long as the front line is defeated, it will immediately issue an order to seize power, recall and punish the crime, either remove the official, or garrison, or go to prison, and even the head is in a different place, there is no shortage of people, the ministers are already accustomed to the rhythm of Chongzhen Dynasty's governance, Lu Daqi still uses the original thinking to treat the emperor in front of him, which can be regarded as carving a boat to seek a sword.

As soon as Lu Daqi's words fell, he felt the surprisingly quiet in the court, and he was a little surprised, and when he raised his head slightly, he felt two extremely sharp eyes fall on him, which made Lu Daqi's heart tremble!

"Lord Lu, do you mean to recall Xu Yifan to ask for guilt and let you go to Henan to preside over military affairs?"

A gloomy voice came down from the dragon chair.

"It's broken!"

Lu Daqi secretly screamed in his heart, he was so confused that he forgot that the Tianwei Army was brought out by the emperor himself, and he exaggerated the defeat so much, didn't he say that the emperor was incompetent? As for Xu Yifan, he is recognized as the emperor's number one henchman, and he is more important to the emperor than Sun Chuanting, and he directly asked the emperor to investigate and deal with it, isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself and living impatiently......

"This ......"

"Say, I'm asking you, do you want to go to Henan to preside over military affairs? Expelling the Tartars? ”

Zhu Jie was already angry, but now Lu Daqi's few words have completely arched Zhu Jie's anger and removed Xu Yifan from his post for investigation? What's more, the entire Ming Dynasty is now in addition to himself and Sun Chuanting, there is no second person, dare to say that he is stronger than Xu Yifan, and this war is not Xu Yifan's fault, even if he is in the Daimyo's Mansion, he may not be able to do better than Xu Yifan, the Tianwei army is not enough, but it also caught up with Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing to defect, tens of thousands of Shandong soldiers defected, one eliminates the other, the strength of the Tianwei army is not even one-third of the Qing army, suddenly attacked, Dongchang Mansion is difficult not to lose, The Daimyo's Mansion is surrounded on three sides, and it is already lonely, and if you have to stick to the Daimyo's Mansion, there is only one way to die.

Xu Yifan was able to set up an ambush in such a passive situation and hit Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry hard in one go, and he had already exerted all his abilities to the extreme, five thousand elites resisted tens of thousands of elites carrying red-clothed cannons on a lump of earth, and they could hold out for a day, and whoever went up was only defeated, but it was a pity that their five thousand heavenly elite warriors were strong!

Lu Daqi broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for the crime of gaffe......

"Humph!"

Zhu Jie said angrily: "Do you also know that you have lost your words? The soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, and you actually want me to recall the commander to ask for the guilt? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers? Bastard thing! Now that the Manchurian Tartars are growing step by step, it is caused by your courtiers' indiscriminate suggestions and frequent blame on the boss! You all think about it one by one, when one of your ministers contradicted the first emperor, even when the strategy was wrong, the first emperor punished you? Be harsh to others and lenient to yourself, this is the mind of you literati doctors? Passed the decree, Lu Daqi was fined for one year to set an example! ”

"Your Majesty, now that Lord Cha Shu is seriously injured, there are no two or three months that he will not be able to lead the army to fight, Lord Xiao Ting has died in battle again, and Inspector Xu in front is a little difficult to support alone......"

Sun Chuanting was worried and said in a low voice.

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "This is not a problem, Xu Yifan said that Lan Tianzheng and Song Jiaxing have already arrived at Zhangde Mansion to meet the army, both of them are generals who can fight well, enough to support the two towns, Zhangde Mansion is too close to the Daimyo's Mansion, the city is too small to contain the attack of the Manchurian Tartars, my bottom line is the Yellow River, as long as the Qing army does not cross the Yellow River, then there is no problem, and let Yifan support the front line for a period of time, the recent front casualties are large, Xu Yifan is allowed to replenish his troops on the spot, Guanning Iron Cavalry, handed over to Xu Yifan with full discretion, and acted cheaply in military affairs! ”

Everyone showed envious eyes one by one, wiped it, this Xu Yifan has been defeated again and again, the emperor still values him so much, what kind of thing is this?

"Your Majesty, ...... Lord Xiao Ting"

Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and asked, the chief soldier was martyred, and this must be posthumously......

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Passing the decree, Xiao Ting, the chief soldier of the Tianwei Army, loyal and brave, martyred the country, posthumously presented to Luzhou Hou, the prince Shaobao, entered the Xian Liang Temple, and sacrificed at four o'clock, his wife Feng Yanguo's wife, his eldest son attacked the title of Luzhou Earl, the second son gave Wuju birth, and 5,000 soldiers were given three times the pension in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and seven days later, I will personally hold a national memorial ceremony for the soldiers!" ”
