Daming wolf ride

Use Liao soldiers to rule Liao soldiers?

Chongzhen was stunned there, his young face was very stunned.

Seeing the emperor was stunned, Gao Qiqian took a step forward and said straightly: "Your Majesty, the Kong thief's troops are the old Dongjiang troops of Grand Master Mao. They often fought against Jiannu, and most of them were Liaodong's own army. They are extremely brave. Soldiers, thieves are not thieves, and they cannot be suppressed by all the troops in the pass, even the Beijing camp, and they are not their opponents, so the slaves think that, looking at the world, the Liaodong army, which is not of the same origin, cannot suppress the Kong thieves."

"Are you saying that you want me to transfer the Liao army into the pass to quell the chaos?"

Chongzhen's eyebrows moved inadvertently, and Zhao Quan knew that this was a sign that the emperor was tempted. [

"This is exactly what I mean!" Gao Qiqian resolutely said, "There are not many Kong thieves today, but if they are allowed to take Qingzhou and enter Denglai, and the Denglai and Dongjiang Liao troops are more old than they are, by then It is bound to be bewitched by him. At that time, Kong’s bandits will have a large number of soldiers. If the court wants to deal with him, it will have to spend a lot of time. Therefore, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly, and quickly transfer the Liao army from outside the pass to enter the pass, and strangle all the thieves to avoid the situation. tidy."

"Mao Wenlong's old department is really so powerful?"

Chongzhen couldn't believe that the old department left by Mao Wenlong was as powerful as Gao Qiqian said.He has been in the palace all year round, and he has been in the hidden house before he ascended the throne. Apart from the Beijing camp, the soldiers and horses he saw were the big Han generals in the palace, and the soldiers he could see were naturally selected healthy soldiers. , armor fresh and sharp, naturally think that the strong soldiers in this world are the Beijing camp.

But he doesn't know that the real strong soldiers in this world are the ones who kill people.No matter how tall the Jingying and Han generals are, how well dressed they are, and if the knives in their hands haven't killed anyone, they can't be called strong soldiers.Even if the Eastern captives invaded the year before last and the officers and soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, he firmly believed that if we talk about the strongest soldiers and horses in the world, the capital camp is the first.The most important thing is that the city of Beijing has been firmly guarded by the Beijing camp from the beginning to the end.

If Emperor Chongzhen had seen the strength of the Donglu soldiers and horses with his own eyes, he might still think that his Beijing camp was the strongest in the world after two years.Therefore, when Gao Qiqian said that Kong Youde's bandit soldiers were powerful and that they were no match for the Beijing camp, he was of course shocked. After being shocked, he naturally became more disbelieving.

Gao Qiqian was eager to ask for soldiers, otherwise he would not be able to put down the chaos between Kong and Li at all, so seeing that the emperor did not believe him, he naturally said unequivocally: "Your Majesty, even if this servant is very courageous, I will not dare to deceive the emperor. According to what I saw with my own eyes , the Liao soldiers under the bandit Kong are indeed very good, and they are by no means invincible to all the troops in the pass!" At the end, his tone raised slightly to show his firmness.

"is it?"

Seeing what Gao Qiqian said with such certainty, Chongzhen couldn't help but believe it, after all, the fact that the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp were defeated by the [-] soldiers of Kong's thieves was right in front of him, and he couldn't tolerate his disbelief.However, if you really want to transfer Liao soldiers into the customs, where will you transfer them?Whom to transfer, and what to do outside the customs after the transfer?If it is transferred, how many soldiers and horses should be transferred?

A series of question marks kept interspersed in his mind, Chongzhen's eyes gradually became serious, and the index finger of his right hand lightly tapped on the imperial case.

Gao Qiqian knelt there breathing in, he didn't dare to take a breath, but his heart was extremely disturbed, lest the emperor would deny the method of sending Liao soldiers into the pass to fight the bandits, and in that case, his wealth and status would be ruined by Gao Qiqian There is no longer any way to ask for it.Even, his position in the inner court will become precarious.

You know, how many pairs of eyes in the inner court are staring at him, the eunuch who is the admiral of the Beijing camp and the chief eunuch in charge of the horse supervisor.Once he got out of trouble, the owners of those eyes would jump out one by one and beat him as a dog in the water.

Therefore, no matter what, Gao Qiqian had to persuade the emperor to agree to transfer the Liao soldiers into the Guan to fight the bandits, otherwise, his end would become very miserable.

It's none of your business, hang up high.

Gao Qiqian waited anxiously, but Zhao Quan didn't empathize with him at all. He was just calculating whether the emperor would stop here after seeing Eunuch Gao, or return to Dongnuange to review the memorial, and he would accompany him again. when.As for Kong Youde, the old Dongjiang Ministry, and the entry of Liao soldiers into the pass, he didn't bother to think about it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the hourglass used to calculate the time was leaking, and the inaudible sound of quicksand floated quietly in people's ears.

Chongzhen still didn't move at all, Gao Qiqian knelt so that his knees hurt, but he didn't dare to move. Just when he was suffering, a young eunuch came in with a palace lantern, gently Walked to a place ten steps away from Chongzhen and stood still, then bowed and played:

"Qizou Huangye, Zhou Ge is old."

"Call him in." [

Upon hearing Zhou Yanru's arrival, Chongzhen hurriedly waved to Gao Qiqian.When Gao Qiqian saw him, he kowtowed immediately, and retreated respectfully.The person did not leave, but waited outside the hall.Zhao Quan still stayed in the palace, as a former imperial eunuch, he dared not leave without the emperor's order.

"Minister Zhou Yanru bows and sees Long Live!"

After Zhou Yanru entered the palace, he performed the usual rituals. He was not wearing an official robe, but a Confucian uniform. Coupled with his already suave figure, he looked very chic and graceful, and Chongzhen looked very harmonious. , nodded approvingly.

When entering the hall, Zhou Yanru saw Gao Qiqian and knew why he appeared here late at night. Both sides knew each other well, but they were like passers-by, not talking to each other, each walking with their heads bowed.

Chongzhen called Zhou Yanru to get up, and Zhou Yanru stood up as he said, and glanced at the hall inadvertently, his eyes paused for a moment on the screen behind Zhao's body.

Behind the screen, there was someone who was the eunuch who specially recorded the emperor's daily life.The existence of this eunuch was an open secret, but no one would dare to drive this eunuch out, not even the emperor.Because the existence of this eunuch is the embodiment of the ancestral family law, and it is also an existence that cannot be changed by the emperors of all dynasties.

The eunuch hiding behind the screen will truthfully record everything in the palace, every word the emperor said, and every word the courtiers responded to, will be recorded in his own handwriting for future verification.

The eunuch hiding behind the screen is like a historian in the outer dynasty, recording everything he saw and heard.

But no one took this eunuch seriously, or even in their eyes, because this eunuch could not be called a "eunuch" at all. The words written by the pen do not even have a little personal feeling, it is completely realized.

Zhou Yanru was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he often went in and out of the palace. Naturally, he knew that wherever the emperor appeared, there would be such a eunuch.But what he wanted to say to the emperor was so difficult to say, he didn't even want anyone else in the palace besides him and the emperor.
