He only heard him say: "Your Majesty, the general of the conquering army became famous in one battle, which is to fight against the grassland tribe. I think he can be transferred to serve as the general of Datong to fight against the Chahar tribe!"

The general of the expedition, namely the general of Jinzhou, Wu Sangui, led 800 cavalry to build the capital of more than 2,000 Mongolian troops on the way to return. Then he raided the grassland, retaliated against the two tribes, and returned with all his authority. He did not suffer much loss.

Emperor Chongzhen recalled Wu Sangui's achievements and nodded with a smile: "General Wu has the spirit of a newborn calf. He is indeed a powerful general. What do you think?"

The emperor clearly agreed to the nomination of the chief minister. As long as the other person is not at stake, who will come out to find reasons to object. However, Min Hongxue reminded: "Your Majesty, if Ning Jin transfers a general officer on the front line, the strength will be weaker."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Let Ning Jinjun take the initiative to attack Jianlu. A while ago, the two generals sent troops to encircle and suppress the poor Jianlu. They did not do their best and were fled by Jianlu. Afterwards, they blamed each other, but they did not have a tacit understanding. I want to restore Liaodong, but I am afraid I can't count on them. The existing troops are used to defend the city, but there is no big impact. So let's decide this, and the general of the Conquering Guards will be appointed as the general of Datong."

The ministers below did not expect that the emperor had such a bad impression of Guanning Army. But thinking about it, the previous battles were just like that, and the two generals criticized each other afterwards. If they were not done well, they were indeed not as good as one general, and maybe the effect would be better.

They were thinking about it, and then Emperor Chongzhen said: "As for Wu Xiang, as a general officer who commanded the troops, he escaped at the last minute, and the circumstances were serious; and he also let about 5,000 thieves go, which had a great impact. He should have been severely punished to serve as a warning to others..."

After hearing his judgment on Wu Xiang, the ministers below immediately focused their attention and sighed in their hearts why Wu Xiang didn't insist, or to be calmer, it was because the thieves dispersed rather than attacking. As the largest military force of the court, the Datong Army was on the battlefield, and it would definitely be of little military merit, but in the end, it turned out to be such a situation because of the timidity of the chief general. It really deserved it!

"But I think he raised a good son for the Ming Dynasty, his crime was reduced to one level, he seized the throne of earl, and demoted him to Datong guerrilla, and made meritorious service with his crimes. If he commits again, he will not let him go!"

When many ministers came to their senses when they heard Emperor Chongzhen's final punishment on Wu Xiang. The emperor forced Wu Sangui to serve as General Datong! Otherwise, if his son had not been appointed as General Datong, Wu Xiang's guerrilla warfare would never be spared as long as he was not fighting effectively!

Thinking of this, Min Hongxue couldn't help but look at the back of his fellow villager, then look at Emperor Chongzhen above, and understand another meaning: Is the emperor holding Zu Dashou responsible for his collapse and returning to Shanhaiguan?

At that time, Zu Dashou was able to lead the army to escape from the capital to Shanhaiguan, which shows that Guanning's army has mostly been controlled by Zu Dashou. He was transferred to Zu Dashou before, but later Wu Xiang was transferred to Datong, and now Wu Sangui was transferred to Datong. In this way, the original forces in Guanning's army were replaced. These measures were linked together and took step by step, and each step forced the original Guanning's forces to abide by this method...

He was thinking in surprise, but Emperor Chongzhen was instructing Wen Tiren: "The cabinet will follow this order. For the general of the conquering the captives, the young heroes must be encouraged. They can appropriately disclose the court's strategy and make them ready to fight against the Mongolian tribes in Tumochuan!"

"I obey the order!" Wen Tiren and Emperor Chongzhen had already had a lot of tacit understanding and immediately responded.

At this time, the Minister of Personnel, who had not spoken, made a comment: "Former Governor of Datong, Zhang Zongheng, has been promoted to Governor of Xuanda. Now his position is vacant. Since Your Majesty has decided to use troops to Tumochuan, I think this position should not be vacant any longer!"

In the original history, Zhang Zongheng did not serve as Governor of Xuanda until the fourth year of Chongzhen, but now it has changed due to the butterfly effect.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought it was very reasonable, so he immediately thought of a candidate, which was the former doctor Sun Chuanting, who made great contributions when he wiped out the bandits. He had the ability to lead troops and had the courage to serve as the governor and sit in the border.

Thinking of this, when he was about to announce it, he heard the chief assistant Wen Tiren come out and say: "Your Majesty, I have just received a report from Fujian. Please read it!"

Isn’t this still talking about Datong? Wen Tiren suddenly got involved in Fujian. What the hell is this?

Emperor Chongzhen did not understand his intentions, but he knew that Wen Tiren would not be aimless, so he nodded and asked the eunuch to submit a memorial to read it first.

This memorial was naturally submitted by He Qiaoyuan. Emperor Chongzhen understood Wen Tiren's intention at a glance, and wanted to take the opportunity to transfer Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan to be appointed as the governor of Datong.

After reaching this conclusion, he immediately took the opportunity to take the memorial to consider it.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial and said with a smile: "When the governor of Fujian, Xiong Wencan, he recruited thieves and pacified maritime affairs, and made a lot of contributions. Although the thieves in Jin are destroyed, many of them are scattered everywhere. He has rich experience in the affairs of the thieves and is specially transferred to serve as the governor of Datong. What do you think?"

Xiong Wencan has little to do with these big guys. In the original history, he had been staying in Fujian and Zheng Zhilong to gather together. Later, because of the contribution of suppressing the thieves and pacifying the maritime affairs, the thieves ravaged the Central Plains. When no one was available, they were recommended to Emperor Chongzhen and asked him to be responsible for the governor to eliminate the thieves. So, after repeated refusal, he used his special means of refusing Zhang Xianzhong and others to reconcile Zhang Xianzhong and others, but was killed by Zhang Xianzhong!

These big men in the court did not object to the emperor's meaning, but were a little strange. The emperor had just said that the key responsibility of the governor of Datong was to pay attention to the grassland and wait for the troops to be used every day. But at this time, he was saying that the governor of Datong wanted to quell the thief. In the meantime, the emperor had other intentions, right?

They didn't see the memorial from He Qiaoyuan, so they naturally didn't know why Emperor Chongzhen did this. In fact, they wanted to make the sea ban smoothly implemented, so Xiong Wencan had to be transferred.

With the decision of the sage, the transfer of Xiong Wencan was decided. Therefore, the fact that Fujianese took over as governor of Datong in history remained unchanged, but the people changed.

Emperor Chongzhen then announced: "The Yuan Jixun doctor Sun Chuanting made great contributions in the Balipu battle to suppress the thieves. I feel very relieved. The pillars of this country should not be abandoned in the court and the country. I will pass on my orders and grant Sun Chuanting the Deputy Censor of the Left Capital and Governor of Fujian!"
