Chapter 80: Refuse to Not Fight
Chen Xinjia's proposal immediately aroused fierce opposition from the ministers in the Ganqing Palace.
Fang Yuegong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up and said, "Long live the emperor, you must not. The reason why Liaodong is the barrier of my north is that the soldiers guard the danger. If the army is transferred to fight in a hurry, the Jiannu cavalry will be cruel, and this will never be done."
Ni Yuanlu, the right minister of the Ministry of War and the attendant, also said: "I think what Shangshu Fang said is very true. Although His Highness the Crown Prince was trapped by Jiannu. However, according to Hong Chengchou's memorial, Yizhou's city defense is strong and you just need to stay in your door and Jiannu has no choice but to wait for the opportunity and avoid being too hasty."
Chongzhen's face was a little unhappy. You don't have to worry. His mother's feelings are not that your son was surrounded. No one has seen this Yizhou City as solid as a god. It's just that from the memorial, Zhu Cilang built the city in less than a month.
This is his son, and he has to be supported by Hong Chengchou at all costs.
Chen Xinjia was furious: "That is the crown prince, our Ming Dynasty crown prince. The dragon seed of the Emperor Longsheng, save it immediately! I would like to ask Longsheng to issue an imperial edict to send troops immediately, so that Hong Chengchou can immediately allocate 130,000 cavalry in Liaodong to rush to support Yizhou City. It is urgent and urgent!"
Fang Yuegong and Ni Yuanlu looked at each other, and Chen Xinjia only knew how to flatter. Doing so would be a disregard for the lives of Liaodong soldiers.
The two looked at each other and knelt down at Chongzhen together: "Long live the emperor, don't send troops in hasty."
Chongzhen was a little hesitant, should he send troops? Can Yizhou City be defended?
"Long live, if you don't send troops, the military pay will be very expensive, and you will be in vain for the prince and the danger. I ask for Long live to draw an order immediately and order Hong Chengchou to send troops to relieve the water and fire of Yizhou. Long live the emperor!" Chen Xinjia was so excited that he was inexplicably excited.
After that, Chongzhen was moved. He slapped the table with his fist and finally made up his mind: "I will order Hong Chengchou to immediately drop the eight generals and rescue Yizhou, and there will be no delays! My dear friends are not allowed to persuade him anymore, I have decided."
Fang Yuegong and Ni Yuanlu shook their heads and sighed secretly. Chen Xinjia blindly catered to the superiors. He asked the Liaodong soldiers to give up the natural danger and rush to send troops to support Yizhou, which is a taboo in military strategists.
Don’t forget that Jiannu is the best at field battles. Liaodong Iron Cavalry is no match for Jiannu in front of field battles.
Emperor Chongzhen, an imperial edict was sent to Songshan, Liaodong in a hurry, at 800 miles, and the governor of Hong Chengchou was in full swing. At this time, Hong Chengchou's table was not only an imperial edict from Chongzhen, but also a letter from Zhu Cixuan, the Yizhou City.
The meaning of the imperial edict was very direct. The eight generals of Liaodong were allocated 130,000 soldiers and soldiers to immediately support Yizhou at all costs. No reason to delay, and immediately send troops.
Zhu Cilang's letter said: No matter what trends are in the capital, let alone the emperor's imperial edict, you cannot send troops even with twelve gold medals. If the general is not given foreign military orders, it will give Jiannu a chance.
Remember the tactics we agreed on before, according to the sand table deduction, Huangtai will definitely be defeated. If the troops are sent in a hurry, it will provide an opportunity for Jiannu. This prince will also give you a hand to defend you, so I will bear the consequences in the future. If you, Hong Chengchou, dare to send troops without authorization, you will be the sinner of the 130,000 soldiers in Liaodong.
In fact, Hong Chengchou knew very well that if he was eager to send troops to support Yizhou at this moment, he would be tantamount to death. Huang Tai was eager to support you, and he was waiting for the tactics of surrounding the points to fight for the support.
But he could not withstand the urging of the court like a death urging. If he did not send troops, he would be afraid of fighting. The censors raised by the bitches in the court had no other skills, and it would be first-class to throw dirty water on others.
Fortunately, now that with Zhu Cilang's souvenir, Hong Chengchou finally felt relieved. No matter how the court urged him to send troops, Hong Chengchou just turned a deaf ear and did not make any noise.
Chen Xinjia, a dog, cannot be honest as an official, and his talent cannot be used for great use. In the end, he repeatedly ruined national affairs and became accused of later generations. He heard that Hong Chengchou refused to send troops to support Yizhou, but he was even more excited than Chongzhen, so he went to find Zhang Ruoqi, the doctor of Fangsi, the Ministry of War.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Xinjia burst into tears: "Mr. Zhang, Yizhou City is in critical condition, and the life and death of the Crown Prince is uncertain. Hong Chengchou refused to send troops, so what was he thinking about!" After that, he wiped his tears with his sleeves.
Zhang Ruolin is also a speculative guy. As soon as Chen Xinjia came, he knew what the other party meant: "Mr. Chen means to ask the lower officials to go to Ji Liao and urge Hong Chengchou to send troops?"
Chen Xinjia immediately stopped crying and nodded: "That's right, I wrote a letter to Master Long Live. Master Long Live has appointed you as the military supervisor of Jinzhou and rushed to Liaodong to urge Hong Chengchou to fight. You are willing to go."
This is his chance to become successful, so how could Zhang Ruolin refuse: "Long live the emperor?"
"The meaning of Master Long Live is that I am."
Zhang Ruolin was determined to get the opportunity to seek credit in front of Chongzhen, but now he was naturally overjoyed about such good things: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will pack my bags and go to Liaodong immediately."
"Mr. Zhang is careful and must let Hong Chengchou send troops, otherwise Yizhou City will be in danger and His Royal Highness will be in danger!"
The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by these self-righteous bureaucrats, and Chen Xinjia and Zhang Ruolin hit it off. In this way, Zhang Ruolin hurriedly went to Liaodong with the imperial edict.
When he arrived at Songshan, Zhang Ruolin acted arrogantly and saw Hong Chengchou's attitude: "Governor Hong, you are so brave! Long live the emperor has an order to send troops to support Yizhou immediately. Why did you stop moving? What's your intention to put Your Highness in danger or ignore him!"
Hong Chengchou cannot offend these Beijing officials. Because you don’t know how these things will be arranged in front of the emperor after returning to Beijing.
If you just put a hat on you and make Chongzhen suspicious of you, it will be a disaster.
Hong Chengchou was several levels higher than the other party's official position, but for this Jinzhou military supervisor, Hong Chengchou still replied politely: "Mr. Zhang, it's not my governor who refused to send troops. This is a trick of Jiannu, who besieged Yizhou and intended to annihilate our Ming reinforcements. The city of Yizhou is as solid as a golden soup, and Huangtai has no support at all, and secondly, the food and grass are limited. The enemy is in front and the war is very dangerous. If you want to rush to rescue Yizhou, the situation of troops is really difficult to calm down. Within half a month, please order a decisive battle again to alleviate the urgent needs of Yizhou."
"Half a month? Is Yizhou City still there half a month? Governor Hong, don't blame the officials for not reminding you. The emperor is still furious in the capital. You are afraid of the enemy and afraid of the battle, needless to say, so high-sounding. The officials will report to Long Live one by one. Governor Hong, the officials advise you to send troops immediately and lift the siege of Yizhou. Otherwise, you will be liquidated by the court in the future and you will be blamed."
