I am the carpenter king

Chapter 223 Preparation

()Looking at his father Khan, Huang Taiji pondered for a moment before saying slowly: "Father Khan, since the matter has been settled, when shall we send troops?"

After pondering for a while, Nurhachi shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Ben Khan's health is not good yet, let alone leading the army on horseback, even getting out of bed and walking around will be a problem. The doctor said it will take about a month to recover." No matter what, we have to wait until Ben Khan recovers. During the last battle in Shenyang, the morale of the Eight Banners was also a little low, and it will take a month to recover."

Nodding his head slowly, Huang Taiji suppressed the thought in his heart. Just now he thought, since his father Khan cannot lead the army, can he request that he lead the army this time.It's just that just as soon as this idea came up, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to suppress it, not because of his own ability.He has confidence in all of his abilities, but if Nurhachi has a bad impression of himself, it will be a little difficult in the future.

Nurhachi had already drawn up a plan, and Sun Chengzong, who was inspecting Liaodong, also left Zuotun. At this time, he had already arrived outside Guangning City.

Looking at Zuo Liangyu on the side, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently. This seemingly rough-looking general, after these few days of getting along with him, Sun Chengzong knew that this general was not as rude as he seemed.On the contrary, he is a very careful general, which is more like Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong economic strategist.He looks rude on the outside and has a bad temper, but he is very thoughtful in his heart.

The gate of Guangning City opened slowly, but the people inside hadn't come out yet, a horse ran quickly in the direction of Shenyang City.Immediately there was a Ming soldier sitting upright, his whole body was covered in dust, and he looked very tired.

All eyes were on this man. You Shigong, who was standing beside Sun Chengzong, led him to surround Sun Chengzong, and looked cautiously at him who was coming by flying horse.You Shigong's hand was already holding the handle of the knife, and his eyes were fixed on the horse immediately, with a calm expression on his face.

The man's horse was still galloping forward, and the man guarding Sun Chengzong had already gone up to intercept the man.Zuo Liangyu, who was sitting upright on the horse, took the lead, holding a thick-backed machete in his hand, staring closely at the incoming.As if aware of the danger here, the horse under the body suddenly stopped, its front hooves were raised high, and the dust immediately flew up.

The soldier on the horse didn't seem to be sitting still, and fell off the horse when he tilted his body. The soldier's reaction was quite alert, and he rolled to the side with his hands on his shoulders.The soldiers on one side rushed forward immediately, holding back the frightened horse, while a few people ran towards the soldier lying on the ground.

Looking at the soldiers who were escorted to his side, Sun Chengzong's heart sank suddenly. This soldier looked very tired, and there was blood on his armor, obviously he had just experienced a battle.Glancing at You Shigong beside him, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice, "Let me bring some water!"

With clear water in his belly, the man seemed to be much better. Looking at Sun Chengzong in front of him, he wanted to kneel down and salute.

Stretching out his hand to hold him, Sun Chengzong asked slowly: "What's the matter? Did something happen to Shenyang City?" Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, the people standing aside all tightened their expressions, and all looked at the soldiers worriedly. His eyes were very eager.

The soldiers seemed a little nervous, but they also knew that the people around them were all generals, calmed down their emotions, and said slowly: "Commander, the younger one is General He Shixian's personal soldier, General He sent me here! "

"What's the matter? Did something happen in Shenyang?" Before Sun Chengzong could speak, You Shigong on the side immediately grabbed the soldiers and asked loudly.In terms of relationship, among the people present, You Shigong and He Shixian are the closest. Although none of them kowtowed to the ground and made friends with each other, they have been born and died together countless times.Seeing that the soldiers mentioned He Shixian at this time, You Shigong was naturally most worried.

"Back to the general, nothing happened in Shenyang City. Last night, General He led us to attack Shenyang Qianwei at night. After a night of fierce fighting, we wiped out the five thousand slaves stationed in Shenyang Qianwei, and recovered Shenyang Qianwei. At this time We have [-] brothers stationed there, and General He has already gone to Liaoyang to move troops, and he sent me here to look for the commander-in-chief. General He hopes that the commander-in-chief will return to Shenyang as soon as possible, and deploy Shenyang's vanguard!" The soldiers had a look on their faces. Looking at Sun Chengzong excitedly, although he was very tired, he was very excited when he saw the soldiers coming out, obviously he hadn't come out of that battle yet.

After hearing what the soldiers said, all of them showed joy, and You Shigong shouted excitedly.But after seeing Sun Chengzong's face in public, everyone stopped talking, and the smile on You Shigong's face gradually faded.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face was very ugly, he didn't say a word, gloomy and terrifying.For such a long time by Sun Chengzong's side, You Shigong saw Sun Chengzong's expression for the first time, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Yin's face was sullen for a while, Sun Chengzong turned around slowly, looked at Xiong Tingbi on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Fei Bai, go and explain to the guard in Guangning that there is a war in Shenyang, and the old man can't stay too long. The next time I come to inspect Guangning, let him get ready!"

After a short time, Xiong Tingbi came back. Sun Chengzong glanced at Zuo Liangyu, and said in a low tone: "General Zuo, you are an outstanding talent. I will remember this. If there is a chance in the future, I will promote and reuse you. Don't worry, General."

Clasping his fists at Sun Chengzong, Zuo Liangyu said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation, Commander-in-Chief, I can't help being grateful for my humble position."

Nodding to Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chengzong stepped into the carriage without hesitation, turned around and told You Shigong, "Go back to Shenyang!"

After walking a long way, You Shigong cautiously came to Xiong Tingbi's side, and asked worriedly: "Xiong Jinglue, didn't Mr. He make a great contribution? Why does the commander look so unhappy? The humble officer also listens." The Marshal said that if the Qianwei can be regained, Shenyang Qianwei, Shenyang City and Shenyang Zhongwei will be able to form a corner. At that time, you can attack Tieling if you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Why did General He recover Shenyang Qianwei? , the handsome looks like he wants to kill him?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Although it is a great achievement, reporting to the court is also a great achievement, but such an approach is very inappropriate. As the general of a city, without a general He left the city privately under the military order, if this is a trick to build slaves, if something goes wrong in Shenyang City, not only General He will be beheaded, but the commander will also be charged with lax military management."

Hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, You Shigong could only shake his head and smile wryly. It seems that He Shixian is really in trouble this time.I don't know how Marshal Sun will deal with He Shixian, but You Shigong knows that Sun Chengzong will not kill He Shixian.It's just that capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. This physical pain must not be avoided.

There was no delay in entering the group, and they returned to Shenyang City soon. When they went out of the city, they were greeted by the excited He Shixian, and Zhao Liaojiao in military uniform standing beside He Shixian.

Ignoring Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong didn't get off the car, and directly entered Shenyang City.What was left was He Shixian who was inexplicable, and Zhao Ratejiao who also didn't know the so-called.Coming to You Shigong's side, He Shixian asked worriedly: "What's going on? Why is the commander like this?"

Looking at He Shixian amusedly, You Shigong gloated and said, "You're asking for good luck!"

Looking at the smug You Shigong, He Shixian wished he could pull him off the horse and beat him up severely.But he also knew that he couldn't do this, and now was not the time, so he must find a chance to beat him up next time, so hard.

To everyone's surprise, Sun Chengzong did not lose his temper, but first contacted Liaodong Governor Yang Lian.After learning what happened, Sun Chengzong knew that Shenyang Qianwei had really withdrawn, so he rearranged the deployment of troops.Then Sun Chengzong rewarded all the soldiers who participated in the attack on the camp, and paid compensation to the families of the dead soldiers.The meritorious Zhao Liaojiao was also promoted by Sun Chengzong to be a guerrilla general, but He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, did not receive any rewards.In the next few days, He Shixian was caught drinking in the barracks by Sun Dashuai on the spot.

In order to enforce military discipline, Sun Dashuai did not bend the law for personal gain, and severely punished his beloved general.According to military regulations, He Shixian was beaten with forty military sticks, and Sun Chengzong personally imprisoned him.

After that, Sun Chengzong issued an order for strict military discipline. From top to bottom, no matter who violated military discipline, they would be severely punished.There was no objection to Sun Chengzong's order.Everyone knows that He Shixian is Sun Chengzong's most important general, he is also the general of Shenyang City, and he is also a second-class loyal and brave uncle.This kind of entry into Sun Chengzong is severely punished, let alone not entering, and the military discipline of Shenyang City changed for a while.He Shixian probably didn't expect that he would have such an effect after being beaten up.

The situation in Liaodong seems to have stabilized. Although Jiannu lost Shenyang Qianwei, he has no intention of revenge, and he doesn't know if he was frightened by the last Shenyang battle.The Ming army in Liaodong did not make any moves. Sun Chengzong was waiting for Emperor Yaoqi's imperial edict to reform the military system and establish cavalry.The money has been prepared for the construction of new warships and new naval forces, but the imperial decree from Emperor Yaoqi has not yet arrived.

Sun Chengzong himself understood that although Emperor Yaoqi trusted him, it was impossible for him to allow him to take charge of the money.In that case, Liaodong would be almost like a feudal town, and it was impossible for Emperor Yaoqi to allow such a thing to happen.After that, it seemed that everyone was waiting, Jiannu was waiting, and Sun Chengzong was also waiting.

In the first year of Yaoqi, the first day of April, it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Chen Hong on the side, and said in a deep voice: "The matter on Yang He's side has been sorted out, and everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. Now, this is his memorial, I have already seen it, so I will do as it says! Send it to the Supervisor of Rituals for printing!"

After glancing at Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi sighed softly, and said in a deep voice, "Designation!"

The cabinet has always been a very busy place, since Liu Yijing was left alone in the cabinet, it seemed a little deserted here.However, after Emperor Yaoqi ordered Liu Yijing to be appointed as the second assistant of the cabinet, the cabinet became busy again, but most of them were for making connections.

Liu Yijing didn't have a good impression of these people, so naturally he didn't like to see them very much, and the affairs of the cabinet were all on him every day.He was the only one doing things that were originally handled by several people, and he couldn't make any mistakes, so he was naturally very busy.

"Da Ru, a father-in-law came outside and said he was here to deliver the decree!" A cabinet clerk walked into the room slowly, saluted the busy Liu Yijing, and said respectfully...

Putting down the things in his hand, and glanced at the scribe, Liu Yijing asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go?"

"Hui Daru is already at the door!" The scribe replied respectfully.

Standing up slowly, Liu Yijing took it outside. Although he is the second assistant to the cabinet now, he has not yet the guts to neglect Emperor Yaoqi's imperial edict.

When he saw Chen Hong walking towards him, Liu Yijing was taken aback. Chen Hong's status in the palace was very high, and it might not be a trivial matter to be able to work for him to deliver the decree in person.

Seeing Liu Yijing approaching, Chen Hong stopped, and when Liu Yijing came to his side, Chen Hong said expressionlessly: "Liu Daru, accept the order!"

Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Liu Yijing said loudly: "My minister Liu Yijing respectfully invites Shengan! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Slowly unfolding the imperial decree in his arms, Chen Hong said in a loud voice: "Feng Yao Chengyun Emperor, ordered ri: 'The Liaodong case involved a lot, and many officials in the court were imprisoned. There must be no officials, and the cabinet was specially appointed to draw up an order to promote Gao Hong as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Xiong Wencan as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Qian Longxi as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Liangsi, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Ying Zhen, the official of the Ministry of Punishment, are quite talented for their integrity. , Allowed to enter the cabinet. Yang He, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is an upright official and an upright minister. He is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is allowed to walk as a cabinet. This is it!"

After taking over the imperial decree from Wang Chengen, Liu Yijing felt relieved, the people promoted by Emperor Yaoqi were all people who did practical things.However, Liu Yijing was also a little surprised. The Qian Longxi and Gao Hongtu he recommended were both promoted, but they were not the original Cabinet Scholars. It seems that Emperor Yaoqi still felt that these qualifications were not enough!Although thinking about it in his heart, Liu Yijing still shouted loudly all day long: "My minister leads the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Liu Yijing stood up, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Please Liu Daru catch some more. When our family left the palace, the emperor specifically explained that things must be done as soon as possible!"

"Yes, please return to the emperor, Wang Gonggong, and do it right away!" Liu Yijing naturally understood the importance of the matter, and said with a very serious expression.

Slowly nodding his head, Wang Chengen continued: "However, there is one thing, His Majesty did not write it into the imperial decree, I hope the cabinet will issue a note!"
