Then Fang Zhenghua whispered: "Your Majesty, I think they believe that they will win this battle, so I thought of taking the opportunity to make some contributions."
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that he was in the situation and did not understand for a moment. Instead, this "Dongfang Bubai" could see clearly from the side.
Not to mention the victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty, one after another, just say that the emperor was in charge of the imperial expedition, and he would definitely not be defeated by the Qing Dynasty, right? Even if he could not win, there would definitely be no danger. Since that is the case, why not go to the expedition with the emperor?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was already sure that most of the military generals and nobles who came to ask for battle these days were probably using this idea.
Haha, they thought it was beautiful! When they fought with the Qing Dynasty in the past, they hid without saying a word; now the situation has improved, and they have to lead the army in person. When they recovered Liaodong in one fell swoop, the group of people came out to take advantage of the credit. How could such a cheap thing be in the world!
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and couldn't help but sneer, wanting to come and do something for trouble? I'm not sure of any of them! A bunch of borers!
Embers? Embers! For some reason, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought about this moment. These Embers were eating the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, but few people could contribute to the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Now they are delivered to the door one by one, so I have to seize this opportunity and make a good meal!
According to this idea, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it. He asked these borers to go to war with him, and then sent them to die, and asked the Qing Dynasty to kill all these borers and kill people with a knife?
Not good! Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and shook his head. If this were the case, a discerning person would definitely see that he would say he was mean and polite; and with the courage and ability of those borers, it was obviously impossible to let them fight tough battles.
Emperor Chongzhen came up with a solution and denied another method. After repeating this several times, his eyes finally lit up and there was a problem!
Therefore, during the court discussion the next day, Emperor Chongzhen officially announced the news that the emperor personally led the Liaodong early next month.
He was determined to lead the imperial army in person, but the cabinet headed by Wen Tiren did not object. The overall situation was settled. In the queue of military generals, he saw a man stepping out and said loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the last general will eat the king's fortune for generations. Now your Majesty will personally fight, how can the last general fall behind the king? You should lead your horse and kick it off and share your worries!"
After saying that, he even took off his court robes, revealing his white flesh, and then continued to speak: "The general's heart is all on his back! The general begs His Majesty to be the one who serves the country with this heart!"
The censor in charge of etiquette in front of the palace saw that he was actually showing his flesh in front of the emperor, and was about to scold him, but when he saw the man's back, he didn't say anything, but turned to look at the emperor, which was obviously the decision made by the emperor.
Emperor Chongzhen was really a little curious. When he looked closely, he saw the guy's back with the words "Loyalty to the country" engraved!
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. This man was really good. He actually learned from Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty. Didn't he expect that he was metaphorized as Song Gaozong who had no ambitions?
However, what surprised Emperor Chongzhen was that after this man showed the four words on his back, two more nobles came out, either with the same back or the arms, all with similar words engraved, expressing their loyalty to serve the country and the heroic spirit of the horse and corpse!
Many people in the queue of military generals and nobles felt a little regretful when they saw the masterpieces of these people. Why didn’t they think of this in advance? Otherwise, after waiting for the courtship, I would also quickly find someone to tattoo a few words? But I heard that the characters will hurt a lot, what should I do?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the performances of those people below and saw the expressions of those people in the queue of military generals and nobles, and sneered in his heart. He really didn't know why he would be without any traces of speaking, but now you are here again!
Before he could speak, he saw Fang Zhenghua, who was guarding next to him, suddenly whispering to him: "Your Majesty, the four words "Faithfulness on your back are not tattooed."
The rotating eunuch standing on the other side, Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who was the chief of the imperial horse supervisor, heard it and couldn't help but look at Fang Zhenghua, then looked at the man's back, then turned to look at the emperor, and was surprised, thinking that this man was really trying to die and dared to deceive the king!
However, what surprised him was that Emperor Chongzhen just glanced at the four words, and then he saw a happy smile on his face, and said loudly: "If the generals are not afraid of death, then I will be invincible in the Ming Dynasty. I am very pleased that you have such a loyal heart to serve the country! I have decided, and you have asked me, and I will be approved!"
When he heard this, the few people who had the word "Su" were very happy, quickly thanked him, and became passionate again.
Among the military generals and nobles, those who had previously asked for battle but had not been approved by Emperor Chongzhen looked at the people, and their faces showed envy.
However, what surprised them was that after these people were passionate, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "In the past few days, I have actually seen many people who want to serve the country and serve the country loyally. I did not agree before. But now I think about it, since you and others are willing to follow me to fight on the battlefield and wrap your body around, then I can't be too ruthless, it's just a little bit..."
When the military generals and nobles below seemed to have relaxed when they heard the emperor's intentions, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken. They all looked at the emperor and waited for him to say the conditions. They were afraid that the emperor would offer them too harshly. If they suffered a big loss, it would be bad!
"...I have really considered the price of fighting on the battlefield, and I have to fight with my body without eyes. When I really want to return it with my body, I have said with a serious tone." Emperor Chongzhen said this, and suddenly said with a stern tone, "Also, I am sure to win this time of the imperial commander's personal expedition to Liaodong, so I am fully prepared. If someone fails to fight, I will punish you. Can you think clearly about it if you are willing to go to Liaodong with me?"
When I heard this, it was true that a few generals and nobles hesitated immediately. Although it is a good thing to take advantage of the credit, it would be too unworthy if I accidentally lose my life. Among those who think this way, there is also the one who just said "loyalty to serve the country".
I saw that this person seemed a little hesitant, but he stood up and showed off his people. Even if he regretted it, he still had no way out. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and suddenly replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is natural to wrap the horses and keep loyal to the country, and the last general is not afraid of it. However, the last general only has tens of skills. If the last general uses twenty skills, he will be a little... a little overwhelmed. In this matter, the last general dare not deceive the emperor!"
Although it was a bit obscure, Emperor Chongzhen still heard it. This man meant that he had only a little ability. If he wanted to do things beyond his ability, such as single-handedly, taking the head of the slave chief from a million troops, he would really not be able to do it.
Others also heard this, and they also had this concern. They looked at the emperor, wondering how the emperor would answer this matter? If it was too dangerous, it would be better to find a reason not to go!
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at these people with a smile on his face and said loudly: "I don't know how much effort it has been spent on the training of the new army! I naturally have to use it as the main force in this decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty, so that I can live up to my expectations. But that's the case. In terms of material and military, I have to give priority to supplying the new army. May you understand?"
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. This is the imperial army in person. The new army is the main force. This is the army trained by the emperor himself. The purpose is actually to deal with the Qing Dynasty. The tough battles and great battles will be led by the new army.
When the military generals and nobles heard this, they were all overjoyed. Just don’t fight tough battles by themselves. As for material distribution, they dare not reach out to the emperor. Otherwise, this emperor would not be a clay Buddha. The Shanxi merchants, Southeast merchants, and local officials in Jiangnan were all confiscated.
They thought this and were so happy that before they could compliment, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "I think you have not brought troops for a long time, or have never been to the battlefield. The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. Therefore, I promised that you and others will bring their servants to the expedition."
Since the emperor began to train the new army, the family resident system has withdrawn from the historical stage from the Beijing camp. With the reimbursement of military pay from the border army, the family resident system is not allowed in the border army in various places, but this time has a deadline, allowing the border army to have an excessive period.
The servants in the late Ming Dynasty could be regarded as elite troops in the army. Emperor Chongzhen allowed these military generals and nobles to bring the servants raised in his mansion to the battlefield, so that they could have more security guarantees and more support for making contributions.
When these military generals and nobles heard the emperor's initiative to propose and think about them, they were all very excited. Those who were hesitating whether to make contributions also followed and made passionate statements to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, I wish I could eat the flesh of the Qing Dynasty and drink the blood of the Qing Dynasty. This time I will fight, I will fight bravely!"
"The last general has long wanted to regain Liaodong, but he is a little older. Now that he is well recuperated and is getting stronger, he will definitely be able to kill the Qing generals!"
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to kill all the Qing Dynasty and avenge our Ming people!"
“…”
Hearing the chaos of expressing his opinion, Emperor Chongzhen waited for a while, and after they said almost everything, he signaled to the side. Suddenly, a quiet whip sounded, and the scene immediately became quiet again.
Emperor Chongzhen then smiled, his face became a little serious, and said with a little majestic attitude: "It's just that the court is not rich, and my original plan was to only lead the new army to fight. Now you and others have to be loyal to the country, so I will be sure. But in this way, food, grass and supplies will be tight. In order not to delay this war, it will not affect my commander's personal expedition. The materials and costs of the bribery along with the expedition must be borne by themselves. Of course, if you have any military achievements, I can also reward them at your discretion. If you have no doubts about this, you will go to the Ministry of War to report the expedition."
Hearing this, the generals and nobles with excitement on their faces couldn't help but be stunned. The materials and supplies that followed the expedition to Liaodong had to be prepared by themselves, which cost a lot of money!
However, the emperor also made it clear that the court lacked supplies, and the emperor did not want them to go to war at the beginning. Before that, the emperor had refused many people's requests for battle. Obviously, there was indeed not enough food and supplies. Otherwise, the more army, the better, and the more you will be, and the more you will be, and the emperor will be safer.
Although they could figure it out, they immediately became confused when they thought of having to bear a large amount of supplies and supplies. However, they finally agreed to let the emperor agree, and if the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong was destroyed, if they had such great military achievements, where could they go? If the emperor said that if they made meritorious service, the reward would be increased. As a result, the hearts of these people suddenly became active again.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at these generals and nobles coldly at the scene of their concern for gains and losses, and his heart was full of contempt. But he was not anxious and just waited there. After digging a hole, he was not afraid that you would not jump!
Sure enough, after those generals and nobles were struggling for a while, most of them agreed with the emperor's statement, just pretending that they were bleeding first and then taking it back.
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen laughed, as if he was very happy that there were still so many military generals and nobles who could serve the country and serve the country with loyalty. He heard him announce in public: "In this way, I personally led the army to the army and decided to divide the troops into three groups."
When many people heard this, they were shocked. Why did they divide their troops again? In the past, during the Wanli period, they were divided into five groups and were defeated by Jianlu, which led to the unstoppable momentum of Jianlu in Liaodong!
However, no one had opposed the division of troops, and he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say: "The main force I have led from south to north to attack the cities and villages, and defeat the Qing Dynasty, destroy the Qing Dynasty, and recover Liaodong. However, in order to prevent the Qing Dynasty from fleeing, I decided to issue an order to the Governor of Naturalization to lead his troops to fight from the grassland, and make sure that the remnants of the Qing Dynasty will not flee to the grassland. If such a situation occurs, we must pursue and eliminate it."
"Secondly, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty may also flee to North Korea, so another army must be dispatched to garrison the Yalu River. If the remnants of the Qing Dynasty want to flee to North Korea, they must block it so that they cannot cross the Yalu River."
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he looked at the military generals and nobles and asked seriously: "What I mean is to let you back to the Yalu River to prevent the remnants of the Qing Dynasty from fleeing to North Korea. As long as you prevent the remnants of the Qing Dynasty from fleeing to North Korea, it would be a great achievement. Is that possible?"
After hearing this, the civil and military officials of the court realized that the emperor's so-called division of troops was actually the main force led by the emperor, and the other two were just cooperation, which was somewhat different from the division of troops in the past.
These people did not know the actual situation in the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen had basically never told others what he had planned. Therefore, after measuring it, they were all over the place and all loudly expressed their opinions that they obeyed the Holy Decree.
Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward!
