Chapter 529: Chen Yan Invites Ying
Above the court, all the courtiers were dumbfounded, they were busy for a long time, they didn't expect it to be a plan, and they were transferred from the mountain, the two military towns led by Sun Chuanting were almost all the elites in the capital, and the elite of the Tianwei Army who retreated from Henan was strong in battle, but now it was put in Xuanda.
It has been six days since Sun Chuanting went to Xuandadu, even if Xuanfu and Beijing are more than 300 miles away, Sun Chuanting marched day and night, and now he has arrived at Xuanfu, and if he wants to return, it will take six or seven days!
"W-How is this good?"
Chongzhen's anxious group turned straight.
"Your Majesty, please relax!"
Wei Dezao on the side said in a deep voice: "If Dolgon leads his troops to force Xuanda, we are still afraid, after all, the Manchurian cavalry is fierce and strong, even if the Tianwei army is brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Inspector Sun to win; However, Dolgon has now chosen to attack Shanhaiguan, isn't that exactly what we want? General Wu Sangui bravely crowned the three armies, sat on tens of thousands of Guanning iron horses, and had Shanhaiguan Jincheng soup pool, copper walls and iron walls, even if the elite of the Eight Banners poured out, it would definitely not be able to take Shanhaiguan in the short term! ”
Although Wei Dezao is more wasteful, these few words have reached Chongzhen's heart, and the fear in Chongzhen's heart has finally dissipated a little, it is too dangerous, next time you must take care of your mouth......
"Spread the decree, immediately order Sun Chuanting to lead the Tianwei army to return to Beijing immediately, advance in the direction of Shanhaiguan, assist Wu Sangui, and defend Shanhaiguan!"
Chongzhen immediately gave his order, then looked at Fang Yuegong, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Aiqing, now, what strategy do you have?" ”
Fang Yuegong smiled bitterly: "My lord, the minister is just a civilian official, he really doesn't know anything about military affairs, he can barely do it for the soldiers in front of him to clear the logistics and provide grain and grass baggage, but he can barely do it, as for how to defeat the enemy, it is not within the minister's ability, now we can only quickly recruit the soldiers of all towns in the world to go north to the king of Qin, especially the four military towns of Zhili, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong, they are the closest to the capital, and the fastest will not take ten days to reach the capital, as long as the army arrives, even if the Manchurian soldiers are strong and strong, We don't have to fight without the strength to fight......"
"It's just that now Sun Chuanting has to supervise the front line of Shanhaiguan, Zhu Jie is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can't reach Gyeonggi in a short time, who will be in charge of the defense of the capital?"
Chongzhen said sadly.
Fang Yuegong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lan Tianzheng, to supervise the Beijing camp and be responsible for all military affairs in the capital!" Lan Tian is the general promoted by Zhen Guogong himself from more than a dozen guards in Beijing, loyal and able to fight well, the most suitable~! ”
"This ......"
Chongzhen hesitated slightly.
Chen Yan on the side glanced at Wei Dezao slightly, Wei Dezao stood up again, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think it is impossible, although General Lan is loyal, but he is just a commander, how can he be the governor of the military affairs of the capital?" This qualification is too shallow, how can you convince the public? At this time, the most important thing is to select an official with sufficient prestige and qualifications to come out and take on the heavy burden, so that all the soldiers and soldiers in the Beijing camp can work together to fight against the Manchurian Tartars! ”
"Well, Wei Aiqing, what he said makes sense, if he doesn't have enough qualifications, how can he suppress the fierce generals in the army......"
Chongzhen hesitated.
Fang Yuegong's face was full of helplessness, and said: "Your Majesty, now that the situation has changed greatly, the Manchurian soldiers are about to come to the city, we should choose the generals based on ability first, even if Lan Tianzheng's qualifications are not enough, as long as the emperor trusts him enough, he can command the whole army, is it that when the Duke of Zhenguo first took the big job, the qualifications were enough?" I'm afraid it's not as good as the blue sky in front of me, right? Once the point will be inappropriate, the choice is not human, it will bring the danger of overturning the country! ”
Chongzhen's heart was shocked, this time he finally listened to it, Zhu Jie, isn't it the chief soldier who was directly promoted, from a hundred households to the chief soldier, it took only half a year, compared to seniority? I'm afraid that if Zhu Jie is queued up until now, he won't be able to become a general soldier!
Chongzhen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Aiqing is reasonable, you should use extraordinary methods when it is extraordinary......"
Wei Dezao said urgently: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, you can't ignore it, please think twice......"
Chongzhen looked at Wei Dezao, and his heart began to shake again.
At this time, Chen Yan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has his own music!" ”
Chongzhen's heart was shocked, and he asked, "Chen Aiqing, what chapter do you have?" ”
Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lan Tianzheng is the governor of the military affairs of the capital, it is indeed inappropriate, however, there are not many generals in the Beijing division who are as proficient in war as Lan Tianzheng, and he can be his deputy. ”
"Haha!"
Chongzhen finally laughed, rare, rare, this Chen Yan didn't waste my favor to him, at this time to be able to take the initiative to stand up and share my worries, it's really rare, Lan Tianzheng is not qualified enough, but the ability is definitely enough, let him serve as a deputy to assist Chen Yan, let Chen Yan bear the main position, who dares to be presumptuous? This is the second assistant, and he was also a major minister of the first assistant! It's enough to deter the proud soldiers in the army! ”
"Well, Chen Aiqing, yes, since Chen Aiqing took the initiative to ask for help, then it was decreed that Chen Yan would be the commander of the Beijing camp, the governor of the military affairs of the capital, and Lan Tianzheng would be the deputy commander-in-chief, all of whom would command the same knowledge and assist Chen Yan in rectifying the defense of the capital! Chen Aiqing, you have to be cautious, this Beijing city can be taught in your hands, don't be careless! ”
"Chen Zunzhi!"
Chen Yan hurriedly agreed.
Fang Yuegong on the side looked stupid and wiped it, which one is this singing? Chen Yan, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, took the initiative to ask Admiral Ying to supervise the Beijing camp and the military affairs of the capital! The sun is coming out of the west, Chen Yan, do you know how to do military affairs? Lao Tzu has been a secretary of the military department for several years, and he doesn't dare to take over, but you dare to take over this errand as a scholar!
"Your Majesty, this move doesn't seem appropriate......"
Fang Yuegong came to his senses, bowed down and said, "Although Lord Chen has great prestige, he doesn't know about military affairs......
"Okay, Fang Aiqing, don't say it,"
Chongzhen said unhappily, I originally expected you to take on this burden, since you have shrunk, then don't care about this matter anymore, it is rare for Chen Yan to be brave and loyal, even if he doesn't understand military affairs, he is better than you, right? What's more, the Manchurian elite cavalry may not be able to pass the Shanhai Pass, even if they can pass the Shanhai Pass, as long as Wu Sangui and Sun Chuanting persist for ten days and half a month, I believe that Zhu Jie will be able to return, and when the time comes, I will not be afraid of the Manchurian Tartars!
