Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 309
Two days later, in the Zhaoren Hall of Qianqing Palace, Chen Qiyu, who was allowed to see the emperor, finally saw the emperor again after several years.

"Chen Qiyu, my minister, sees my emperor! I have been imprisoned for a serious crime, and my emperor will not abandon me. With the courage of a wise king, I will fight against all opinions. I will pull out my minister and die, so that my minister will be washed away with a sinful body." I am ashamed of the past, but now I treat my ministers with a high position in the central government, such a great favor, it will be difficult for me to repay my eternal life!"

Chen Qiyu, who was in agitated mood, ignored Zhu Youjian's stop, and insisted on kneeling down and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to express his gratitude to the emperor. Zhu Youjian had no choice but to sit upright and accept his gift See.

"Is the high hall in Chen Qing's home still safe? You have abandoned your family and business for many years and worked hard for state affairs. Although there are occasional mistakes, they are unintentional mistakes. It's all gone! Although I am the master of the world, I have made mistakes. The teacher who remembers the past and the future, I only hope that Chen Qing and others will focus on the future and find a smooth path through the ups and downs, so that my emperor will live forever, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no regrets in this life!"

After Chen Qiyu was seated, Zhu Youjian greeted with a smile, and then settled the nature of Chen Qiyu's previous major mistakes: I am not a saint, I will make mistakes, the past is over, let's look at the present.

Chen Qiyu, whose eyes were slightly wet, stood up, bowed and replied: "Thank you, my emperor, for your inquiry! Your mother's health is now in good health; my emperor gave it by the order of the second-rank wife, and the old mother in the family is as if she is ten years younger. On the day of conferring, I made an exception and drank a glass of wine when I was in a good mood. Afterwards, I asked someone to send a letter to my minister, urging me to do my duty faithfully, and to repay my emperor's grace with all my strength! According to my emperor's words, I will live up to my holiness Please, what my emperor wants is what my minister wants! Please also let my emperor watch it!"

"You sit down, and this is the gift you deserve for your merits. You are the best choice for your talents and character. I only hope that you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and always keep a clear mind, thinking that the society will make new contributions. This time I will When you are called into the capital to serve in the capital, you value your talents, but you can always invite you to the palace for detailed discussions on important matters. Now that the image of my great Ming and the world is peaceful, the only thing I worry about is to jump outside the pass. Hong Qing has left the pass to supervise the teacher For half a year, although Yizhou was captured during this period, after strangling the enemy in the city, he was ordered to retreat; although there were some gains in several battles with the captive reinforcements, the two sides remained stalemate on the front line of Jinzhou. There is no movement, how do you analyze the matter here? How should I force the captives to send the main force to fight with me?"

Hong Chengchou's report about the frontline war must come every ten days.It is stated in the report that the main force of building slaves led by Yue Tuo has retreated to the north of Jinzhou, and no longer attacks the Songshan and other castles behind Jinzhou. But there is no sign of a large-scale increase in troops.

This is completely contrary to what Zhu Youjian and the military officials expected, that Huang Taiji would increase troops to Jinzhou soon after the main force returned from the westward expedition. The rest of the Yongwei battalion went out to fight with Jiannu, and Zhu Youjian felt like he had punched cotton.

Hong Chengchou analyzed in the report that although the main force of the slave building has most likely returned, it has been exhausted after several months of fighting. In addition, it has to integrate and digest the results of the battle, so it has been delayed to increase the number of troops to go south.

Zhu Youjian still agrees with Hong Chengchou's analysis. After discussing with Yang Sichang and other important members of the Ministry of War, Zhu Youjian ordered to send additional baggage battalions under the jurisdiction of the Jingying to leave the customs, and speed up the delivery of the barracks and grain and grass in the Shahou area. The warehouses were built as early as possible. After the Qin army and the Sichuan army arrived in Beijing, they took a short rest before going north and leaving the customs, and settled in the newly built barracks, so as to familiarize themselves with and adapt to the environment and terrain outside the customs early.

The so-called army has not moved, and the food and grass go first. The amount of food and grass consumed by 10,000+ troops every day is amazing. It is very important to prepare the materials needed by the army in advance.

The location of the new barracks is very safe, there are still more than two hundred miles away from Jinzhou, and there are more than ten castles in front of it, so there is no need to worry that Jiannu will find it.

According to the daily news from the Ministry of War, the main force of Sun Chuanting's Qin army is still more than [-] miles away from the capital, and will reach the vicinity of the capital in less than ten days.

Because the white pole soldiers started farther away, they would arrive a little later than the Qin army.

"Returning to my emperor's question, I have always considered this matter, and I will tell it today for my emperor's reference. Although Hong Hengjiu's analysis is generally not bad, the slaves have never sent the main force south, and there are indeed soldiers who are exhausted. The cause of the cold weather; but I believe that as long as the officers and soldiers take the initiative to attack and achieve greater results, the chief slaves of Shengjing will definitely not sit idly by!"

Chen Qiyu first affirmed Hong Chengchou's judgment, but then put forward a different view.

"Huh? What's Chen Qing's opinion? Let's hear it! But don't pretend to be big!"

Chen Qiyu's words moved Zhu Youjian's heart. He was very curious about what this courtier with a big picture had to say, but he didn't want Chen Qiyu to make false statements just to please the public, so he made a final reminder.

"My emperor forgives my sins. This is just my own gain. I didn't pretend to be big to invite the Holy Grace. I think that the enemy of Jinzhou went south because he wanted to avenge the defeat of Yizhou, so although he didn't make a huge profit, he fell in love. Not yet. The soldiers outside the pass are the elite of the official army. If the Jinzhou army is added, the total number of soldiers is far more than that of the Jian captives. The bandit leader of the slave army going south must think highly of himself, thinking that he can easily and easily defeated our army, but after a few contests between the two sides, he found that this was not the case. Even with all his strength, the officers and soldiers could not be defeated by him, so his heart was lost; In the land of Jinzhou, I am afraid of being ridiculed by his clansmen, and even more afraid of being seized by the slave chieftain Hong Tai under the pretext of ineffectiveness in combat. Therefore, I have tried my best to fight with me in the land of Jinzhou. It is not difficult to force Jianzhou to go south. The minister thought that the two armies have been facing each other for a long time, and there is nothing they can do to each other, so the morale of the army must have been slackened long ago. If the officers and soldiers take advantage of their unpreparedness and suddenly raise heavy troops to invite heavy damage, the slave chieftains of Jianzhou will be shocked and send their main force south. Retaliation, so it is in line with the intention of the officers and soldiers to fight with them. The above words are my humble opinion, and I hope my emperor will think about it!"

Chen Qiyu looked calm, and expressed his opinion in a leisurely manner.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but fell into deep thought after listening.

I have to admit that Chen Qiyu's analysis is very reasonable, and he has also analyzed the mentality of Huang Taiji and other thieves in detail, and his keen observation ability can be said to penetrate people's hearts.

Now that several strong troops of the Ming Dynasty will be in place soon, and the guarantee of logistics materials has also entered the final stage. In a month's time at most, that is, around the end of September in the tenth year of Chongzhen, more than [-] elite officers and troops will Gathered outside the pass, and began to launch a battle with the army of slaves.

But now the main force of building slaves has not moved at all, and the plan of the Ministry of War is to wait for the arrival of the enemy on the front line of Jinzhou, and use the advantages of geographical location and logistical supplies to rebuild slaves.Therefore, the most urgent task is how to lure the enemy out of the cave, otherwise. . .

Zhu Youjian was worried that more than [-] troops would be stranded outside the pass, not only would it cost a lot, but also their morale would be exhausted over time, so he wanted to fight Jiannu as soon as possible.

Hong Chengchou may have thought of Chen Qiyu's judgment just now, but he is known for his stability and may not want to take risks in order to avoid losing troops and morale as much as possible.

"Companion, let someone go to the Ministry of War to pass on my oral order to recruit my soldiers and attendants to come to the palace as soon as possible!"

Zhu Youjian gave instructions to Wang Chengen who was standing beside him.

Wang Chengen responded and left the palace gate.

Although Chen Qiyu felt that the emperor was a little eager to fight, but he had just gained the respect of the emperor, if he tried to persuade him on this matter, he might make the emperor unhappy.

Fortunately, I have made various inferences and plans for the war outside the customs. Since the emperor asked, I should throw out one of the plans and let the emperor decide whether to adopt it.

If the members of the Ministry of War do not agree, then have a debate in front of the emperor, and finally let the emperor dispel the idea of ​​a quick battle, and he will never be a direct minister.
