71, Zhu Ciyang's tongue in battle, Guan Ning's army is dumbfounded

Zhu Cixuan had just left the palace and suddenly thought of something, so he waved to the side: "Fang Gonggan, come here!"

Fang Gonggan immediately appeared: "Your Highness, I'm here."

Zhu Cilang said: "Send someone to keep an eye on Wu Sangui immediately. If Wu Sangui wants to leave the mansion, block him back immediately!"

Fang Gonggan patted his chest: "Don't worry, your highness, there will definitely be no problem with this matter!"

Fang Gonggan's current Dongchang can be said to have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, so it is no problem to monitor Wu Sangui.

After sending Fang Gonggan away, Zhu Cilang looked at Li Guozhen again and said, "Your Majesty Xiangcheng, there is something you need to do."

Li Guozhen hurriedly said, "Please tell me your Highness."

Zhu Cixuan said: "That's right. I think it won't be too smooth to go to the Guanning Army Camp this time. Please go to the Beijing Camp and draw an elite force. If there is any change in the Guanning Army Camp, it's better to suppress it in time."

Li Guozhen was stunned when he heard this and said, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince think something might happen to the Guanning Army?"

Zhu Cilang said decisively: "It's not that something may happen, it's basically something that will happen."

Wu Sangui attaches great importance to military power. In history, it was precisely because Wu Sangui's subordinates had always had soldiers that the Qing Dynasty relied on Wu Sangui's expeditions and attacks in the east and west until he was granted Wu Sangui's title as King Pingxi.

With this news, Zhu Cilang could certainly know how furious Wu Sangui would be when he learned that the military power had been taken back and the Guanning Army was directly annexed by the court.

Under such circumstances, how could Wu Sangui remain indifferent? It is his necessary choice to make trouble.

Li Guozhen was also surprised when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Why might your highness wait until we gathered our troops before going to the Guanning Army?"

Zhu Cilang said decisively: "That won't work. All we want is a speed. We must not give Wu Sangui any reaction time. Go quickly!"

Li Guozhen also went in a hurry.

Zhu Cixuan finally looked at British Duke Zhang Shize and smiled and said, "Britain British, this matter is a bit dangerous, are you afraid?"

The British Duke laughed: "Your Highness is joking. Our old Zhang family has been born and died for so many years, how could they be afraid of it?"

The two of them rushed to the Guanning Army's camp with dozens of followers at a high speed.

Guanning Army was obviously quite surprised by Zhu Cilang's return.

Gao Dejie, who was temporarily appointed by Zhu Cixuan to handle the military affairs of the Guanning Army, couldn't help but say, "Do you have something else to do?"

Zhu Cixuan said to Gao Dejie: ​​"Do you have reliable troops under your command? Summon them immediately. Also, call all the people involved in Ningjun and above."

Gao Dejie almost immediately understood and said in surprise: "Your Highness is going to take Guanning Army for his own use?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said seriously: "It is for the use of the Ming Dynasty!"

A quarter of an hour later, many generals of Guanning Army arrived one after another, with confusion on their faces.

Some people hope to see Wu Sangui, but they didn't, and they couldn't help but feel quite disappointed.

The British Duke sat in the position of the chief general. He originally wanted Zhu Cilang to sit, but was rejected by Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cixuan took out the order and read it very simply to the many Guanning generals in front of him.

After hearing this order, all the Ning Army Generals present were shocked.

A general couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty meant that the Guanning Army was included in the army in the capital?"

Zhu Ciyang said seriously: "It is not the army of the capital, but the army of the Ming Dynasty! The most important problem of the Ming Dynasty at the moment is to counterattack Li Zicheng and open up connections with Jiangnan. As the most elite and reliable army of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Army must shoulder the responsibility. Do you understand?"

After listening to Zhu Cilang's words, the Guanning generals present were speechless for a while, but were in a very upset mood.

Since the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty has been fighting continuously in Liaodong for decades, which has also led to the rise of a group of Liaodong generals. Most of the people present, even Wu Sangui, who had just returned home, belonged to them.

To be nice, it is called the general, but it is actually a warlord. Now, after hearing what Zhu Ciyang said, he actually wants to incorporate all these little warlords into the Central Army's rule in one breath. How can they not panic?

Another general spoke: "Your Highness, if this is the case, what should Shanhaiguan do?"

When the general spoke, the others suddenly felt hope again.

Yes, our Guanning army still has to guard Shanhaiguan. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to even want Shanhaiguan, right?

That is the gateway to Beijing!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cixuan immediately smiled: "Shanhaiguan? Let me tell you, it's better not to!"

Shanhaiguan is indeed the gateway to Beijing City, which is true. But the problem is that in the past few years, Shanhaiguan’s defense line has been ineffective.

Why?

Because since the Qing Dynasty settled the Mongolian tribes in the north, it always chose to bypass Shanhaiguan, attacked from Xuanfu and Datong in the north, and even conquered Jinan, the capital of Shandong.

So Shanhaiguan could not defend the Qing Dynasty's attack at all, so what's the use of it?

Zhu Cilang's words were like a shocking thunder strike, which made the Guanning generals present stunned.

Don't even want Shanhaiguan?

The meaning here is actually very obvious. The Ming Dynasty is determined to swallow the Guanning Army!

When all the Guanning generals thought of this, a huge crisis suddenly emerged in their hearts.

Although Guan Ningjun has basically never won against the Qing Dynasty in recent years, the problem is that they are rich.

Since the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty treasury has spent more than one-fifth of its income in Liaodong every year.

This is one-fifth of the income of the entire Ming Dynasty!

The whole country is working hard to raise a military force. The Guanning Army is not too rich.

If you lose the war, you will lose the face and population of the Ming Dynasty. What does it have to do with our Guanning Army? It’s enough for us to make money.

So these generals of Guanning Army finally became anxious and spoke one after another.

"Your Highness, this is impossible."

"Your Highness, our Guanning Army wants to defend Liaodong, otherwise what should we do if Jiannu invades then?"

"Your Highness, please tell Your Majesty and let Your Majesty take it back."

Most of the Guanning Army generals strongly opposed this matter and formed momentum in the big tent for a while.

Even the British Duke was a little restless when he saw this scene and couldn't help looking at Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cixuan raised his pistol.

With a bang, the feathers on the head of a Guanning general who was calling the most fiercely were shot away.

The tent suddenly became quiet.

Zhu Cixuan blew the muzzle and said coldly: "The Guanning Army is the Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty, not your Guanning Army. When will it be your turn to say anything about the will of my father?"
