Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 177
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan kowtowed a few times and stood up respectfully from the ground.

"Give a seat to Governor Yuan!" Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, pointed at Yuan Chonghuan, and said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan now holding a heavy army and relying on him to guard the capital, Chongzhen would probably have the heart to cut Yuan Chonghuan directly.

Now that Jiannu is approaching the city, he came here in a leisurely manner.Moreover, the opening silver that Yuan Chonghuan asked for was still the silver that Bi Ziyan squeezed out from the treasury. If there was no opening silver, it is estimated that Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army should still be on the way now.

Wang Chengen brought a Xiudun from the side and put it behind Yuan Chonghuan's buttocks.

Yuan Chonghuan thanked him, and then put half of his butt on Xiudun.

"Yuan Aiqing, how many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?"

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with hope, and asked slowly.

Yuan Chonghuan stretched out four fingers and said, "Your Majesty, I brought a total of [-] soldiers and horses this time."

"Forty thousand? Why so little?" Seeing this, Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan in disbelief.

Are you kidding, there are 10,000+ slaves outside the city, and you only brought [-] soldiers and horses?What is the use of these [-] soldiers and horses?Can it stop Jian Nu?
Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who had a calm expression, and his face sank for a moment.

"Yuan Aiqing, I remember that since you supervised Liaodong, the imperial court has allocated more than 300 million taels of silver to Liaodong, right? You only got 300 horses for the 4 million taels of silver?" Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan , asked with a black line on his face.

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand gently, "Your Majesty, these 4 people are quite a lot. My 4 people are not comparable to other military towns. Half of my 4 people are cavalry, and each cavalry is equipped with two rods." Three-eyed firecrackers, a saber made of fine steel, and the armor on each person's body is fish scale armor made of fine steel.

The Guan Ning army equipped in this way can be said to be the first-class strong soldier in the entire Ming Dynasty.Even the vest soldiers of Jiannu, I'm afraid they are not as good. "

Chongzhen looked at the confident Yuan Chonghuan, and sneered twice, "Hehe, I don't think so? If your Guan Ning army is really so strong, why did you not notice that Jiannu entered the capital through Xifengkou?"

Yuan Chonghuan really didn't expect Chongzhen to ask such a question, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yuan Aiqing, in Liaodong alone, the annual military pay accounts for half of all the military pay on the Nine Sides. You told me at the beginning that you could pacify Liao in five years, but now why do you let Jiannu directly encircle the army?" The capital?" Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a stern look on his face.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stood up from the Xiudun, then respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head a few times, "Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with all the minister's actions, you can dismiss him from his post and investigate. I will definitely not have any complaints. "

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with anger.

Hmph, how loyal are you to ask me to dismiss you at this time?You are really capable of threatening me with Jian slaves outside the city and forcing the palace from me.

Although Chongzhen really wanted to take Yuan Chonghuan down at this time, if Yuan Chonghuan was taken down at this time, what would the Guan Ning army outside the city do?Will they be dissatisfied by it?Will there be a mutiny because Yuan Chonghuan was taken down?
Chongzhen didn't dare to gamble. Now that Jiannu soldiers are approaching the city, if it is true that the Guanning army outside the city caused chaos because of taking Yuan Chonghuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, his face changed again and again.In the end, he let out a long sigh, and said slowly, "Yuan Aiqing, I didn't mean that. I was just curious about the combat effectiveness of the Guan Ning Army."

Yuan Chonghuan lay on the ground, his eyes rolled, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Yuan Chonghuan was just betting that Chongzhen would not dare to touch him, and if he moved himself at this time, he would destroy the Great Wall himself.

Yuan Chonghuan believed that if Chongzhen dared to move him, Zu Dashou and others outside the city would definitely not listen to Chongzhen's orders.If he really moved himself, would he still want Guan Ning's army to repel Jiannu?It's just a dream.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from his own Guan Ning Army, who could fight Jian Nu in the field?

"The minister wrote a letter to beg for the bones, and I hope His Majesty will fulfill it." Yuan Chonghuan not only did not get up, but took off the black gauze hat from his head, put it directly on the ground, and said again.

Chongzhen's right hand pinched directly on the armrest of the chair, and the joints also turned white due to excessive force.

Chongzhen looked angrily at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling on the ground, almost spitting out several times of cursing.

But Chongzhen still held back. At this time, if Yuan Chonghuan is really taken down, how can the capital be defended?
Chongzhen picked up the ginseng tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hehe, Yuan Aiqing, I was just joking with you just now, why did you do this to me? I am very optimistic about your five-year strategy for flattening the Liao Dynasty."

Chongzhen calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible.

"Your Majesty doesn't trust me, how can I have the face to be the governor of Liaodong?" Yuan Chonghuan said in a deep voice with his head on the ground.

Chongzhen gritted his teeth as he looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was so stubborn.

The entire Nuan Pavilion fell to freezing point in an instant, and the eunuchs and maids in the Nuan Pavilion were watching their noses, noses, noses, and feet for an instant, and even the range of movements became undetectable.

"Yuan Aiqing, get up. You are the minister of the humerus of the imperial court. How could I agree with you to beg for bones?" Chongzhen said again to Yuan Chonghuan, and then said to Wang Chengen beside him: "Pass the decree and seal Yuan Aiqing as Crown Prince Taibao, special entry to Dr. Ronglu, Zuozhu Kingdom. Royal gift of mang uniform!"

Yuan Chonghuan listened to Chongzhen's arrangement, his eyes were full of excitement.

What is an extreme minister?Is this called an extremely human minister?Don't look at these titles as scattered titles, but literati like this.I don't know how many civil servants want these titles, and how many are they likely to get?Pulling out any of these titles can make those civil servants overwhelmed, and this time it was awarded to Yuan Chonghuan at one time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan put the official hat on the ground back on his head, and kowtowed three times and nine times to Chongzhen.

"Okay, Yuan Aiqing, get up quickly." A stern look flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and then disappeared quickly.Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a false smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have one last condition."

Yuan Chonghuan sat on Xiudun again and looked at Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was instantly furious. He looked at Yuan Chonghuan, his body trembling unceasingly.If it hadn't been for wit telling Chongzhen all the time that it was not the time to kill Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen would probably be able to kill him now.

"What conditions?" Chongzhen asked coldly with a gloomy face.

But at this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already been dazzled by fame and fortune, so he didn't notice the change in Chongzhen's face.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, it was very difficult for the Guan Ning Army to come all the way from Liaodong, so I want the Guan Ning Army to enter the city to rest for a while, and hope..."

"Okay, stop talking." Chongzhen didn't wait for Yuan Chonghuan to finish speaking, and directly interrupted the second half of Yuan Chonghuan's sentence with a wave of his sleeve.

"The imperial court has the court's laws and court rules. The rules are for keeping, not for breaking. Qin Wang's soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the capital. This is the ancestor's instruction, this is the rule, and this is the law. Your other conditions Everything can satisfy you, but this one is the only one, don't even think about it. It's okay, Yuan Aiqing, you have come all the way, so you should take a rest."

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, and before Yuan Chonghuan could explain, he hurriedly said to Wang Chengen next to him: "Take Yuan Aiqing down, arrange a residence outside the palace, and send him out of the city tomorrow to serve the country well.

I'm tired today, let's drive to the bedroom. "

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he went to the bedroom.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Chongzhen, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have no other intentions!"

Before Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, Wang Chengen led a few small yellow gates and walked over, "Master Yuan, please, the emperor asked our family to arrange a residence for you, so you can come with our family."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Chongzhen who was leaving, and heaved a long sigh, so he could only follow behind Wang Chengen and head out of the palace.

……

At dawn the next day, before the sun came out, Yuan Chonghuan was put down by the bamboo basket.

When Yuan Chonghuan returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, a group of generals surrounded him.

"My lord, how is it? What did your majesty say?" Wu Xiang looked at the excited Yuan Chonghuan and asked hastily.

Yuan Chonghuan was holding an imperial decree in his hand at this time. He put the imperial decree on the table, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty has granted me the crown prince Taibao, Doctor Ronglu, Zuozhuguo, and I have been bestowed with mang clothes."

"My lord is worthy of being a lord. You can get all these just by seeing Your Majesty once." Wu Xiang looked at the imperial decree in Yuan Chonghuan's hand and said in amazement.

He Kegang, the deputy general of the Chinese army, also said excitedly: "Your Excellency is the pillar of the imperial court, so you should be like this, you should be like this."

Yuan Chonghuan laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things, the most important thing is how to defeat the slaves outside the city."

"My lord, there are 10,000+ Jiannu soldiers outside the city. Although the Han Eight Banners and the grassland Tartars account for nearly half of them, the Jiannu elite are all there. This battle is not easy to fight."

Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said anxiously.

On the way to help, the Guan Ning army caught the tongues of several Jiannu probing horses, and after some torture and questioning, they also found out the composition of the Jiannu army this time.

"Hehe, why didn't I know? Building slaves is powerful, but we are backed by the city wall, and there are red cannons on the city wall, so we are not incapable of fighting. Now, pass my order, bury the pot and make food, and everyone Army assembled."

Yuan Chonghuan slapped the table and said sharply.

"As ordered!"

Everyone in the big account clasped their fists at Yuan Chonghuan, and then left one after another.

At the same time, a cavalry force of about 4000 came towards Yuan Chonghuan from the east of the capital.

The visitor was Man Gui who was defeated by Huang Taiji in Zunhua City.

"Is the Guan Ning army stationed in front?" Man Gui pointed to the camp that was full of cooking smoke, and asked a personal guard beside him.

"Returning to my lord, according to the report from Yebu, the person in front is Yuan Chonghuan who just arrived in the capital last night." The guard replied.

Man Gui thought for a while and said, "Let's stay away from them and station our troops five miles away from Desheng Gate."

Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan didn't get along, so Man Gui didn't want to get entangled with Yuan Chonghuan.

At the same time, under the leadership of Lu Daliang, the soldiers and horses of Xuanzhen arrived in the capital slowly.

Lu Daliang and Yuan Chonghuan were not familiar with each other, and the Guan Ning army was a group of arrogant soldiers, and it was difficult to get along with each other, so they stationed the army with Mangui's army.

Lu Daliang is the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, and Man Gui is the chief soldier of Datong. The distance between the two places is relatively close, so the two also know each other.

"As ordered!"

At this time, smoke rose from the camp of Jiannu.

Huang Taiji broke through the Xifeng Pass this time. Although he claimed to have an army of 20, it was actually only a little over 10.Yesterday, Mangurtai and Amin led their respective troops to plunder around the capital, so there are not 8 Jiannu at all, and there are about [-].

After Huang Taiji had breakfast, he gathered the generals together.

"After an hour, gather heavy troops and attack Guangqumen with all our strength. Now we don't have many soldiers and horses, we must hit the troops. If the troops are scattered, it is impossible to break through the city wall of the capital."

Huang Taiji looked at the people in the big tent, and said slowly.

"In this battle, the Han Eight Banners are the vanguard, the Zhengbai Banner is the flank, the Bordered White Banner is the rear army, and the Bordered Yellow Banner is in the rear."

"The slave obeys the order!"

The people in the big tent cupped their hands at Huang Taiji, and then went outside.

……

"Report, Jiannu have all assembled and seem to want to attack Guangqumen."

Just as Yuan Chonghuan assembled the army, a soldier who sent orders rushed over.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the soldier, "Is the news accurate?"

"Master, it's true."

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand at the man, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I already know, you go down first."

"Also, the troops of Datong and Xuanzhen have also arrived and are stationed five miles away from us." The soldier said again.

"Hehe, these two trashes are here too?" Yuan Chonghuan sneered twice when he heard the words, and then said: "Don't worry about them, you keep watching Jiannu for me."

"Yes!" The soldier gave Yuan Chonghuan a military salute, and then went outside.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the assembled team, and looked at Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Kegang and others who were following him.

"Where is Vice General He Kegang?"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead 5000 people as the vanguard and head towards Guangqumen first. You must arrive before Jiannu."

"The last will obey!"

"Where is Zu Dashou?"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead 1 horses and follow closely behind the forward. If the forward declines, you will immediately replenish it."

"As ordered!"

"Where is Wu Xiang?"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to lead 8000 troops to act as flanks to cover the advance of the forward."

"The last will obey!"

"The rest of the troops, all follow my command!"
