Looking at his father, Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Father, now that the matter has been settled, when will we send troops?"

After pondering for a moment, Nurhachi shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly: "Ben Khan's body is not well yet. Not to mention riding a horse to lead the troops, even getting out of bed and walking around is a problem. The doctor said it will take about a month to recover. , we have to wait until Ben Khan recovers. During the last battle in Shenyang, the morale of the Eight Banners disciples was also a bit low. It will be better to recover in this month."

Nodding slowly, Huang Taiji suppressed the thought in his heart. Just now, he had thought that since his father Khan could not lead the army, could he request that he lead the army this time? It just happened Huang Taiji couldn't wait to suppress this thought, not because of his own abilities. He was confident in all his abilities, but if Nurhachi had a bad impression of him, it would be difficult to deal with it in the future.

Nurhaci had already made a plan, and Sun Chengzong, who was patrolling Liaodong, also left Zuotun. At this time, he had arrived outside Guangning City.

Looking at Zuo Liangyu on the side, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently. This general looked rough and rough. After getting along with him for the past few days, Sun Chengzong knew that this general was not as rude as he seemed. Instead, he was a very careful general. This is more similar to Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong manager. He looks rude on the outside and has a bad temper, but he is very thoughtful in his heart.

The city gate of Guangning City slowly opened. Before the people inside came out, a horse came running quickly in the direction of Shenyang City. Sitting on the horse was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. His whole body was covered with dust and he looked very tired. .

All eyes were focused on this person. You Shigong, who was standing next to Sun Chengzong, led others to surround Sun Chengzong. He looked at the person coming on Pegasus with a cautious look. You Shigong's hand had already grasped the knife. Handle, his eyes were fixed on the person on the horse, with a calm expression on his face.

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

The soldier on the horse seemed to be unable to sit firmly. He tilted his body and fell off the horse. The soldier's reaction was quite smart. He held his shoulders with his hands and rolled to one side. The soldiers on the side immediately rushed forward and grabbed the frightened soldier. The horses and a few people were running towards the soldier lying on the ground.

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

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

Reaching out to hold him, Sun Chengzong asked slowly: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Shenyang City?" Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, the people standing on the side tensed up and looked at the soldiers with worry. The eyes are very eager.

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

"What's wrong? Is there something going on 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 were the closest. Although no one kowtowed to the ground and made friends with Babai, they had been together through life and death countless times. At this time, when the soldiers mentioned He Shixian, You Shigong was naturally the most worried.

"Back to the general, nothing happened in Shenyang City. Last night, General He led us to attack the Shenyang vanguard at night. After a night of fierce fighting, we annihilated the five thousand slaves stationed in the Shenyang vanguard and recovered the Shenyang vanguard. At this time we There are four thousand brothers stationed there. General He has already gone to Liaoyang to move troops, and he sent me here to find the commander. General He hopes that the commander will return to Shenyang as soon as possible to deploy the Shenyang vanguard!" There was excitement on the soldier's face. He looked at Sun Chengzong. Although he was very tired, he was very excited when he saw the soldiers coming out. It was obvious that he had not come out of that battle yet.

After hearing what the soldiers said, everyone looked happy, and You Shigong on the side screamed even more excitedly. But when everyone saw Sun Chengzong's face, they all stopped talking, and the smile on You Shigong's face gradually faded. Converged.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face was very ugly, he didn't say a word, and he was gloomy and scary. After being around Sun Chengzong for so long, You Shigong saw Sun Chengzong's expression like this for the first time, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

After looking gloomy for a while, Sun Chengzong slowly turned around, looked at Xiong Tingbi on the side, and said solemnly: "Fei Bai, go and explain to the guard in Guangning. There is a war in Shenyang, and I can't stay too long. Next time I come to inspect Guangning and let him be prepared!"

Not long after, Xiong Tingbi came back. Sun Chengzong glanced at Zuo Liangyu and said in a low tone: "General Zuo, you are a talent, I remember it. If there is a chance in the future, I will promote you, General Zuo. rest assured."

Holding a fist towards Sun Chengzong, Zuo Liangyu said loudly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your cultivation. I can't help but be grateful for my humble position."

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

After walking far away, You Shigong cautiously came to Xiong Tingbi and asked worriedly: "Xiong Jinglue, didn't Mr. He make a great contribution? Why does the commander look so unhappy? Even a low-ranking official listens. The commander-in-chief once said that if the vanguard can be recovered, the Shenyang vanguard, Shenyang City, and the Shenyang central defender can form a corner. At that time, when the time comes, you can attack Tieling when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Why did General He recover the Shenyang vanguard? , the commander seems to want to kill someone?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Although it is a great achievement, reporting to the imperial court is also a great achievement, but this approach is very inappropriate. As the defender of a city, without a commander-in-chief, He left the city privately under the military order. If this was a plot to create slaves and something went wrong in Shenyang City, not only would General He be beheaded, but the commander would also be accused of lax military management."

Listening to Xiong Tingbi's words, You Shigong could only shake his head and smile bitterly. It seemed that He Shixian was really in trouble this time. He didn't know what Marshal Sun would do with He Shixian, but You Shigong knew that Sun Chengzong would not kill He Shixian. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. There is definitely no way to avoid this physical pain.

The group did not delay and soon returned to Shenyang City. When they left the city, they were naturally greeted by He Shixian who was in excitement, and Zhao Shujiao in military uniform standing next to He Shixian.

Ignoring Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong did not get off the car and entered Shenyang City directly. What was left behind was He Shixian, who was confused, and Zhao Lijiao, who also had no idea about the so-called so-called. When he came to You Shigong's side, He Shixian asked worriedly: " What's going on? Why is the commander like this?"

Looking at He Shixian with amusement, You Shigong said with some schadenfreude: "You wish for more blessings!"

Looking at You Shigong with a proud face, He Shixian wanted to pull him off his horse and beat him up. But he also knew that he couldn't do this. Now was not the time. He would definitely find a chance to beat him up next time. So cruel.

To everyone's surprise, Sun Chengzong did not get angry, but first contacted Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong. After learning what happened, Sun Chengzong knew that the Shenyang vanguard had really been taken back, and he rearranged the deployment of troops. Then Sun Chengzong All the soldiers who participated in the attack were rewarded and the families of the dead soldiers were compensated. The meritorious Zhao Lijiao was also promoted to a guerrilla general by Sun Chengzong, but He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, did not receive any reward. In the next few days, He Shixian While drinking in the military camp, Marshal Sun caught him on the spot.

In order to strictly enforce military discipline, Marshal Sun 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 was personally supervised by Sun Chengzong.

After that, Sun Chengzong issued an order of strict military discipline. From top to bottom, no matter who violated military discipline, he would be severely punished. No one had any objection to Sun Chengzong's order. Everyone knew that He Shixian was the most respected by Sun Chengzong. The general of Shenyang City was himself a general of Shenyang City, and a second-class loyal and brave man. Sun Chengzong would severely punish such people, let alone others, and the military discipline of Shenyang City suddenly changed. He Shixian probably did not expect that, I was beaten up, but it still had such an effect.

The situation in Liaodong seems to have stabilized. Although Jiannu lost the Shenyang vanguard, he had no intention of taking revenge. I don't know if he was frightened by the last battle in Shenyang. The Ming army in Liaodong also made no moves. Sun Chengzong was waiting for Emperor Tianqi's arrival. The imperial edict calls for the reform of the military system, the establishment of cavalry, the construction of new warships, and the creation of a new navy. The money has been prepared, but the imperial edict from Emperor Apocalypse has not yet arrived.

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

In the first year of the Apocalypse, the first day of April is a time for weddings and funerals, but it is forbidden to disturb or move.

Putting down the memorial in his hand and rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi looked at Chen Hong aside and said in a deep voice: "The affairs over Yang He's side are almost settled, and everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. , this is the memorial he submitted, I have read it, and I will do as it says! Send it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for printing!"

After glancing at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Draw up the decree!"

The cabinet has always been a very busy place. Ever since Liu Yijing was left alone in the cabinet, the place seemed a little deserted. But after Emperor Tianqi decreed the appointment of Liu Yijing as the second assistant to the cabinet, the cabinet became busy again

, but most of them are here to establish relationships.

Liu Yijing didn't have a good impression of these people, and naturally he didn't like them very much. Every day, everything in the cabinet fell on him. What used to be handled by several people, he was now the only one to do it, but he still couldn't make mistakes. Naturally, he was busy.

It's terrible.

"Sir, a father-in-law has come outside, saying he is here to convey an order!" A cabinet clerk slowly walked into the room, saluted Liu Yijing, who was busy, and said respectfully.

Putting down the things in his hands and looking at the clerk, Liu Yijing asked in a deep voice: "Where is he?"

"Come back to me, sir, you are already at the door!" the scribe replied respectfully.

Slowly standing up, Liu Yijing went outside to take him out. Although he was now the second minister of the cabinet, he still did not have the courage to neglect Emperor Tianqi's imperial edict.

When she saw Chen Hong walking towards him, Liu Yijing was stunned. Chen Hong's status in the palace was very high, and it was probably not a small matter for him to be able to deliver the decree in person.

When he saw Liu Yijing walking towards him, Chen Hong stopped. When Liu Yijing came to his side, Chen Hong said expressionlessly: "Master Liu, take the order!"

Lifting up her clothes and kneeling on the ground, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liu Yijing, respectfully greets you! Long live my emperor!"

Slowly unfolding the imperial edict in his arms, Chen Hong said loudly: "The Emperor of Heaven carries the edict: 'The case in Liaodong has been widely implicated. Many officials in the DPRK have been imprisoned, and their crimes cannot be pardoned. However, the DPRK cannot

Without an official position, the cabinet was specially ordered to draft an edict to promote Gao Hong to the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Xiong Wencan to the left.

The Minister of the Ministry of War, Qian Longxi, was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Liangsi, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, and Ying Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, were upright and talented, and were allowed to serve in the cabinet. Yang He, the censor of Zuodu in the Duchayuan, was an honest official and a man of integrity.

Upright, I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I am allowed to act like a cabinet. I admire this!"

Taking over the imperial edict from Wang Chengen, Liu Yijing felt relieved. The people promoted by Emperor Tianqi were all people who did practical things. However, Liu Yijing was also a little surprised. Qian Longxi and Gao Hongtu both recommended by him were promoted.

But not

They are the original cabinet bachelors. It seems that Emperor Tianqi still thinks that these people are not qualified enough! Although he was thinking in his heart, Liu Yijing still shouted loudly: "I accept the decree, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live

!”

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

"Yes, please come to your Majesty to restore the Emperor and do it immediately!" Liu Yijing naturally understood the importance of the matter and said with a very serious expression.
