He is preparing to send troops to suppress the bandits!
At least for now, it seems that the invasion of the intruders is continuing, and now almost the entire territory of Shanxi and Shaanxi has fallen into the hands of the intruders.
What if the intruders were allowed to occupy the entire Henan Province!
By then, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for the imperial court to move the capital!
There is no way, now in the entire north, the power of the government and army has been extremely compressed.
Zhu Cixiang's brows furrowed tightly.
The movements of Li Zicheng's army naturally aroused the imperial court's high attention, and even held a special cabinet meeting.
"We cannot let the intruders continue fighting like this. Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces have been completely occupied. Now the intruders are occupying Henan. The governor of Henan has sent a distress signal. Henan does not have any powerful troops, and it is difficult to defend the city.
!”
Li Banghua frowned and said to Li Yuzhi standing aside.
Ni Yuanlu hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and did not speak.
After a pause, Li Banghua looked at Li Yuzhi in front of him and said: "Master Chief Assistant, I suggest that Wu Sangui be transferred to the customs! Give up Shanhaiguan!"
After hearing Li Banghua's words, everything else in the cabinet changed.
Li Yuzhi's eyelids twitched many times before he reluctantly suppressed them.
At this time, Li Yuzhi said to Li Banghua in front of him: "Master Li, do you know what kind of responsibility you have for saying this?"
"I know!"
Li Banghua said with a serious face to Li Yuzhi in front of him: "This may cause the Qing army to enter the pass, but right now, the biggest danger we encounter should be the intruders! And we no longer have a force in our hands that can compete with the intruders.
The troops are here!
Zuo Liangyu of Chu Town is quite capable, but right now, he doesn't listen to orders at all and always makes various excuses! We have no choice now! If this continues, the capital move may be blocked!
Moreover, Wu Sangui’s army has been mobilized. In addition to being able to compete with Li Zicheng, it can also kill people with swords! Let’s give up the north and let the intruders and the Qing soldiers fight to the death! When the time comes, we will have another fisherman to benefit!”
After hearing Li Banghua's words, everyone around looked at me and me, with hesitant looks in their eyes.
Looking at the discussions around him, Li Banghua continued to say to the people in front of him: "Moreover, have you ever thought about a problem, once the capital is moved to the entire north, it will almost certainly fall into the hands of intruders not long after.
In this case, Shanhaiguan will still be attacked from both sides! Where will General Wu go from here?"
After hearing Li Banghua's words, the expressions of the surrounding ministers changed for a while.
Li Yuzhi said: "This matter is no longer something we can decide! Let's go to His Majesty!"
Hearing Li Yuzhi's words, a look of disappointment flashed in Li Banghua's eyes.
It can be seen that Li Yuzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, does not want to bear the infamy of abandoning Shanhaiguan. This kind of infamy has been written down in history, but it will be scolded in the history books for thousands of years!
Think about it this way, if Li Yuzhi doesn't want to bear this infamy, then does Your Majesty also want to bear this infamy?
Li Banghua knew Chongzhen's character very well. Thinking of this, Li Banghua sighed slightly in his heart.
But no matter what, Li Banghua's proposal was quickly sent to Emperor Chongzhen's desk.
"Teleport Wu Sangui to suppress the bandits??"
Emperor Chongzhen was a little angry when he heard this proposal, but soon, Chongzhen discovered that he really didn't seem to have any trump cards in his hand.
He glanced at the reports from the governors and prefects nearby. He felt agitated in his heart. There was no army!
The cards in my hand are basically gone!
wrong!
There is another force!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of Count Huang Degong, who had just defeated the traitor Liu Chao!
This one is a fierce general!
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little shaken. General Huang Degong was currently resting in Wuhu.
"Come here, General Tiaohuang Degong! He should be recuperating in Anhui now! Let him at least block Li Zicheng's continued invasion! Use up Li Zicheng's army as much as possible!"
Emperor Chongzhen quickly issued an order, but directly ignored Li Banghua's memorial.
He did not want to bear the consequences of losing Shanhaiguan, or in other words, he could not bear the consequences of losing Shanhaiguan.
Li Banghua, who was in the cabinet, learned about Emperor Chongzhen's decision and sighed slightly in his heart. He still felt that he should not continue to guard Shanhaiguan now.
Count Huang Degong knew very well that he was indeed very powerful, but his army only amounted to 30,000 to 40,000 men. Facing an army of 200,000 thieves...
Li Banghua sighed slightly in his heart, and he did not continue to present the memorial.
At this time, Zhu Cihong on the other side also learned the news.
Zhu Cixiang, who was on the school grounds, frowned slightly when he heard what Jin Yiwei said.
"Li Banghua actually wants to dispatch Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan to suppress the bandits?? But you can't blame him..."
There was a hint of contemplation in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
Indeed, Li Banghua should not be blamed. After all, the greatest threat to the entire Ming Dynasty now should be Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other peasant rebels.
Who would have thought that in the original history, after the Manchu and Qing troops entered Shanhaiguan, an army of only tens of thousands of people actually defeated many people, including Li Zicheng, in a short period of time, and finally unified the world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
But fortunately, they still take into account the responsibility of losing their land.
Moreover, my father is not the kind of person who likes to take the blame. Originally, Beijing was about to fall, and my father did not make up his mind to abandon Shanhaiguan. He just asked Wu Sangui to bring thousands of cavalry to help.
Let alone now.
At the moment, it seems that the only person the entire imperial court can use is General Huang Degong!
"Just in time, it's time for my army of five thousand people to go to the battlefield and see blood!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the prince's guard in front of him and murmured.
In fact, the current training does not last for a month, but only about twenty days. However, Zhu Cixiang does not have time for him to continue training.
These are troubled times!
Only those who survive actual combat are eligible to continue training!
This is actually a joke with the lives of soldiers, but...
There is no way!
This is how the world is!
Soon, Zhu Cixi made a petition to Emperor Chongzhen.
Request to replace Chongzhen and lead the expedition in person! Crush the intruders!
As soon as this news came out, the government and the public were shocked.
Many civil servants wrote letters one after another, resolutely not allowing His Highness the Crown Prince to put himself in danger!
However, Emperor Chongzhen still issued the order after being bombarded by his ministers.
Prince Xu will fight on my behalf!
Use Emperor's Day!
As soon as the edict came out, the palace exploded first without saying anything to the foreign ministers.
"Your Majesty! Why did the prince make you angry? You want him to go to the battlefield!!!"
