Hey, I’ve been really busy these days for Valentine’s Day!
————————————————————————————————

The main reason why Liu Ruyi's words were so laborious and devious was to delay Emperor Chongzhen's eager desire for victory, but on the other hand, they could not make Emperor Chongzhen too scared.
, unable to let go, even timid!
You have to find a balance in the middle!
Only in the future, after sending troops to Liaodong, will Governor Hong Chengchou or Liu Ruyi himself gain more independent rights!
The ancients said: 'When you are outside, you will not receive your orders!'
But throughout the ages, how many people have accomplished this?
Just like this battle of Songjin, Emperor Chongzhen and the court had already determined the general strategy. What Hong Chengchou needed to do was to execute the order within this framework!
If we make a slight change, we will face a flood of impeachments from the supervisors and officials!
This is not the key. The most important thing is that if Hong Chengchou changed the combat strategy privately, what would Emperor Chongzhen think?
Even if he wins the battle, it will probably plant a thorn in Emperor Chongzhen's heart!
Not to mention it is far away, but the ‘Blue Jade Case’ is right in front of us!
However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. A slight delay may lead to complete chaos!
As a famous general of the National Army Staff said after liberation, "The orders conveyed from this office (Staff Office of the Presidential Palace in Nanjing) are the most genius instructions! But in actual implementation, it is
What a difference!'
Compared with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the actual combat strength of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was definitely not far behind!
The Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were elite, but the nearly 100,000 Guan Ning Army in Liaodong had experienced decades of war, and their combat power was not necessarily any worse than that of the Eight Banners Army!
With equal strength, if the Zu family and the Wu family really choose to risk their lives, Huang Taiji may have to give in three points first!
But the most important reason why the Ming Dynasty has not experienced success for decades is that it is probably because of its commander!
From Li Chengliang, to Sun Chengzong, to Yuan Chonghuan, and now to Hong Chengchou, all of these people can be said to be outstanding talents, with abilities in the world!
But in the land of Liaodong, they were defeated again and again, even to the point of being completely injured!
If one person fails, it may not mean anything, but if ten or even a hundred people fail, it may mean something!
The reason why the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became more and more courageous as they fought, and why the Ming Dynasty suffered repeated defeats, the most fundamental reason is probably the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty itself!
If during the Wanli period, we could have taken advantage of the strong national power to defeat the Jurchens in one fell swoop, why would we be in trouble today?
If the Ming Dynasty could grit its teeth and fight to the death during the Liao-Shen War, how could it give the Hou Jin War a chance to grow stronger?
If the Ming Dynasty could work together during the Battle of Hunhe, why would Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers be left alone and helpless?
It's a pity~~~~, history never has what-ifs!
'Learn from the past and teach future generations!'
The Battle of Songjin, for Liu Ruyi, Emperor Chongzhen, and even for the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear the outcome of failure!
In this battle, we can only win, not lose!
Even if she risks her fortune and life, Liu Ruyi will never tolerate history repeating itself!
Therefore, at this moment, in front of Emperor Chongzhen, he must earn more benefits for himself!
~~~~~~~
After hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia both fell into deep thought!
Both of them were knowledgeable soldiers, so they naturally understood the meaning of Liu Ruyi's words, especially Emperor Chongzhen. He was not a dictatorial person in the first place. Liu Ruyi's words were like a basin of cold water, completely dousing him. Fantasy in my heart!
Coupled with Liu Ruyi's victorious achievements in the past, Emperor Chongzhen began to feel hesitant!
However, even though Liu Ruyi's words were very tactful, Chen Xinjia was still unhappy after hearing this!
After a long silence, Chen Xinjia stared at Liu Ruyi for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Liu, what should I do now? General Liu, since you can find out such top secrets, With the news, I’m afraid you already have a clue in your mind, right?”
Liu Ruyi glanced at Chen Xinjia, only to find that Chen Xinjia was looking at him meaningfully!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but secretly curse, "Chen Xinjia is supposed to be the number one person, but why is he so petty at such a critical moment?"
Emperor Chongzhen was also interrupted by Chen Xinjia's words, and hurriedly asked Liu Ruyi: "What Chen Aiqing said is right! General Liu, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy at this time?"
At this point, Liu Ruyi had no time to argue with Chen Xinjia about these little details. He took a deep breath of air-conditioning and tried to make his mind clearer. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, I am a soldier, and I am responsible for my humble duty." The view has reached this level. For me, Da Ming, there is only one word 'support'!"
But before Liu Ruyi finished speaking, Chen Xinjia couldn't help but sneered in a low voice: "Entrust me? How can I entrust you? General Liu, you say this easily? But you know, if my army does not fight for a day, how much food, grass and baggage will be consumed by the court?" Do you know, if you don’t fight for a day, how much food, wages, and silver will the Ming Dynasty have to spend? Do you know, if you don’t fight for a day, how much people and people’s power will be consumed by the Ming Dynasty? Please~~? Haha! You can teach me How should I be trusted!!!"
Liu Ruyi ignored Chen Xinjia and glanced at Emperor Chongzhen!
Emperor Chongzhen said nothing, but stared directly into Liu Ruyi's eyes!
"Fuck~!" An unknown fire surged up in Liu Ruyi's heart for no reason~!
'What the hell is this called?'
You want to be a bitch, but you also want to build a memorial arch? You want to win the battle, but you still don’t have the money?
Where in the world can anything be so cheap?
The Manchu Qing Dynasty devoted almost the entire country's efforts to the battle of Songjin. Huang Taiji went to the front line to supervise the battle in person, but on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty...
A trace of sadness suddenly flashed through Liu Ruyi's heart!
At this time, Liu Ruyi didn't say much, she just looked directly into Emperor Chongzhen's eyes without saying a word!
He must have the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen!
"..." Chen Xinjia has never seen Liu Ruyi look so cold before. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He tossed his sleeves angrily and stood aside with his eyes closed to rest. stand up!
Although Chen Xinjia is very ambitious and greedy for credit, he started from the lowest level after all, but there is an advantage in him!
That is, he knows who he can offend and who he cannot offend!
Like Liu Ruyi, a military commander with a high position and powerful troops, he really didn't dare to say harsh words, the most he could do was show off his reputation as a minister!
Emperor Chongzhen had never seen Liu Ruyi look so heroic!
In his impression, although Liu Ruyi had arrogant military exploits, in front of him, he was always respectful, just like other generals!
But at this moment, looking at Liu Ruyi's resolute and cold face, and looking at his unyielding eyes, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what to do for a moment!
"Liu, General Liu, what Chen Aiqing said is not unreasonable! Our Ming Dynasty's treasury is currently weak, and now, the northwest has suffered from successive years of disasters, and the court really can't afford much money! General Liu, what you said'
I'm afraid it's really not easy to put it into practice!" After being silent for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help it anymore and explained to Liu Ruyi with a smile on his face!
Liu Ruyi looked at the fake smile on Emperor Chongzhen's thin face, but felt inexplicably sad in her heart!
poor person must have something mean!
Doesn't he know that the Battle of Songjin will be the battle that determines the fate of the Ming Dynasty?
Why can't you be determined to be a man?
Do we have to wait for the crooked-necked tree on Meishan Mountain?
"Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties! But the battle of Songjin is extraordinary! Huang Taiji has almost overwhelming power. If our Ming Dynasty does not respond with all our strength, the outcome will be disastrous!" Liu Ruyi looked at it!
Looking into the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen!
At this moment, Liu Ruyi really did not regard herself as a courtier of Emperor Chongzhen, but a later generation, and deeply regretted his tragic life!
"Bold! You, you actually confuse the public with your evil words and disrupt the morale of our army! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I propose that Liu Ruyi be severely punished! Otherwise, otherwise I..." Chen Xinjia couldn't help but became furious. He couldn't hold it back anymore and pointed at Liu Ruyi.
His face was full of curses!
Liu Ruyi gave Chen Xinjia a cold look. Although this person is not a bad person, his personal motives are too serious!
"Your Majesty, I have some confidential matters that I want to report to you! I beg your Majesty's permission to allow Mr. Chen to step aside for the time being!" Now that it's come to this, Liu Ruyi doesn't give Chen Xinjia any face at all!
"Shuzi~! It's too much to bully someone, it's too much to bully someone! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!" How could Chen Xinjia have imagined that Liu Ruyi would dare to be so presumptuous and openly ask him to "go away"?
He quickly knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen, crying and full of sorrow!
"Liu Aiqing, you..." Emperor Chongzhen pointed at Liu Ruyi and wanted to say something harsh, but he couldn't say it!
After all, Liu Ruyi is the only one in the Ming Dynasty who has the courage and strength to confront the Manchus head-on!
"Hey! That's it! That's it~! Chen Aiqing, since General Liu has a confidential report! Then, I'll offend you and avoid it for now!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed deeply and waved to Chen Xinjia tiredly!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I, your Majesty..."
Chen Xinjia still wanted to struggle, but Liu Ruyi stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xinjia's arm and whispered: "I, soldier, there are some things that I do not let you know because of my humble position, but it is for your own good! Don't worry, when the battle of Songjin is won, I will
I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you personally!"
Chen Xinjia glanced at Liu Ruyi, only to find that Liu Ruyi was also looking at him sincerely!
Chen Xinjia suddenly felt relieved, nodded slightly, and walked tremblingly toward the door. He was only less than fifty years old, but his steps were like an old man in his seventies or eighties!
It wasn't until Chen Xinjia walked away that Emperor Chongzhen said: "General Liu, Chen Aiqing has also left. What do you have to say? Can you tell me?"
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned cold and his tone was cold, showing his mood at this time!
However, Liu Ruyi met Emperor Chongzhen's cold gaze without any concern. She cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty! In the battle of Songjin, we must win but not lose! For this reason, I am willing to offer you one million taels of silver as a gift."
