Chapter Eighty-Nine: The spearhead is aimed at Chongzhen

"In this case, the decree is to appoint Zhu Jie as the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, from the second product, and the general army of Jizhou Town, to control the Miyun front and rear guards, Tongzhou left and right guards, Tianjin Sanwei, Zhending, Dingzhou, Yongping, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Hejian, Baoding, a total of 14 guards, Aiqing, this is the strength of the 14 guards, all of them are the troops of the Gongwei Beijing Division, according to the imperial court military system, the 14 guards have a total of 80,000 troops, enough for you to perform......"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Jie, his face was not without pride, and handed over 80,000 troops to Zhu Jie in one go, this is an unprecedented honor, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is such a young general, who can command 80,000 troops in one breath? Only I have the courage to put all my trust in a young person!

Zhu Jie was unmoved, and replied: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of 80,000 guards, but there is one last factor, the minister has not yet told the emperor!" ”

Chongzhen was stunned, and there were still factors that he didn't say?

Zhu Jie continued: "The last point, the emperor, that is the authority factor of the generals, the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the monarch abroad, only if the authority of the generals is not restricted, let them do it, then in the war can the Chinese side be invincible, if you encounter constraints everywhere, it is a very dangerous thing, yes, the minister asks the emperor not to set up a prison eunuch in the thirteen guards, so that the minister can let go of his hands and feet......"

Chongzhen's face sank slightly, there is no eunuch in the prison army? How can this be?

"Zhu Aiqing, setting up eunuchs to supervise the army is an ancestral system, and it has always been so ......"

Chongzhen said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister only gave two examples, after the two examples, if the emperor still wants to set up eunuchs to supervise the army, the minister has nothing to say!"

Zhu Jie replied.

Chongzhen frowned and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”

Zhu Jie replied: "Your Majesty, the first example, Lu Xiangsheng back then, the Emperor, this is your confidant, when Lu Inspector led the Tianxiong Army, the east and the west, south to Huguang, north to Xuanda, whether it is a thief, or a thief, or other rogues, no one is his opponent, even the Qing army is in his hands, but, the giant deer battle, the army is defeated, the Ming Dynasty broke off a giant pillar, the emperor, haven't you thought about what the reason is?" ”

Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiangsheng, yes, that is indeed the courtier I rely on the most, Wen Tao is strategic, the best in the contemporary era, it's a pity, but does this have anything to do with the eunuchs of the prison army?" At the beginning, Yang Sichang played, which was caused by Lu Xiangsheng's improper deployment before the war......"

Zhu Jie smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are in the dark by them and you don't know it!" At the beginning, Duke Lu was the governor of the five provinces, promoted all the military affairs in the capital, and recruited the world's soldiers and horses to work as kings, which seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, he was constrained by Yang Sichang in the court, except for the Tianxiong army, almost all the general soldiers in the world did not listen to his orders; Outside, that Gao Qiqian is even more of a straw bag, but also a straw bag of jealousy, holding the main force of the Tianxiong Army in his own hands, only with Lu Gong five or six thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in Julu to fight tens of thousands of Qing troops, the emperor, even if it is a minister, led six thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, in the plains to face tens of thousands of Manchurian cavalry, that is also a sure defeat, absolutely no chance of victory, Lu Gong was killed by Yang Sichang and Gao Qi Qiansheng, if the Gyeonggi army listened to Lu Gong's dispatch, if he worked hard to train the Tianxiong army in hand, Where could the Manchurian cavalry be so rampant and turn Gyeonggi upside down? ”

"What? Do you mean that Lu Xiangsheng was killed by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian? ”

Chongzhen's face was full of shock, and he stood up directly and shouted!

In Chongzhen's heart, Lu Xiangsheng originally thought that the god of war who won a hundred battles had never been defeated, but the giant deer fought a battle, and once defeated, he buried his life on the battlefield, Chongzhen was not distressed, that is the hell, but Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian insisted that Lu Xiangsheng was mishandled before the war, resulting in a big defeat, trapping the Beijing division and dangerous places, and even chasing the story was hastily!

Zhu Jie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Your Majesty, is there any other reason?" During the Battle of Julu, tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry were all in the hands of Gao Qiqian, and the 20,000 Tianxiong Army was handed over to Chen Xinjia by Gao Qiqian, where did Lu Xiangsheng get the troops in his hands? At that time, Gao Qiqian led the Guanning Iron Cavalry, only fifty miles away from the Julu battlefield, and the cavalry could arrive in less than half a day, but let Lu Xiangsheng fight alone in Julu for several days, and finally the whole army was wiped out and died, only fifty miles, just such a little distance, Gao Qiqian still did not send troops, the emperor, the minister did not want to die so wrongly like Lu Xiangsheng, if the emperor wanted to kill the minister, a holy decree would do, the minister died without complaint, but was killed by the traitor and the eunuch, the minister will never do it, the minister might as well be like the ancestor to go to the rivers and lakes, Be a free fairy! “

Chongzhen's heart began to drip blood, Lu Xiangsheng, he used the most convenient big gun, when he was there, none of the thieves in the Central Plains dared to act rashly! It was from Lu Xiangsheng's death that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were like a prairie fire, and they could no longer be controlled! It turned out that Yang Sichang and Gao Qi were all harmful......

"Your Majesty, things are obvious, Gao Qiqian restrained tens of thousands of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and fled without a fight as soon as they fought, and in less than a day, the Guanning Iron Cavalry collapsed, Chen Xinjia controlled the Tianxiong Army, and similarly, the Tianxiong Army was martyred because of Lu Xiangsheng, the dragons were leaderless, and a group of hungry wolves became sheep, and the situation that was originally very promising to defeat the Manchurian cavalry was all destroyed in the hands of these two people, do you think this eunuch is still useful? Their use is how to trap the commander......"

"Say no more!"

Chongzhen's face turned pale, and he shouted, "What about another example? ”

"Another example? Hong Chengchou! ”

Zhu Jie replied: "Your Majesty, I have to say that Hong Chengchou is a figure on the same level as Lu Xiangsheng, and he is also a capable minister with both civil and military skills, but it's a pity that only the emperor can endure the defection to the enemy, but why is there such a result?" ”

"Why?"

Zhu Jie replied: "Obviously, Hong Chengchou led more than 100,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty to gather on the front line of Ningjin. Manchuria is cavalry, fast, strong impact, conducive to a quick battle, the imperial army is mainly infantry, mobility is far inferior to the Manchurian cavalry, a little attention will be caught by the Qing army, defeated in one fell swoop! Hong Chengchou connected the army step by step, advancing step by step, leaving no flaws for the opponent, in an attempt to consume the Qing army. I have to say that although Hong Chengchou's approach is very stupid, he can only defeat the Manchurians in this way, but the emperor is eager to win, and repeatedly urges the troops, so that Hong Chengchou has to give up the original deployment and accelerate the army......

Chongzhen's face was ugly, it was hard to see the extreme, it was obvious that this kid was pointing the finger at himself! What a bold man, to ridicule yourself!
