Chapter 1101 The Emperor’s Trouble
Chongzhen thought quickly and understood immediately. There must have been major changes in the situation on the front line of Jiuyuan City. These people were greedy for life and feared death, and ran back on their own.
The emperor was trembling with anger and cold.
If one or two people came back, they could be arrested and punished. But hundreds of people all came back. What to do, they were all arrested.
"What happened to Jiuyuan City?" Chongzhen asked hurriedly. "Does Uncle Dingyuan have a memorial?"
Wang Chengen said doubtfully: "I haven't seen the memorial from Uncle Dingyuan today. The Supervisor of Ceremonies probably hasn't received the new memorial from the northwest."
At this time, Eunuch Shuangxi came in. He has now been promoted to the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace is the main palace of the harem. There is one chief eunuch, who is the seventh-rank official attendant. The annual salary is four taels of silver and two dan of rice. There is one deputy chief eunuch, who is the seventh-rank official attendant. There are also twelve junior eunuchs.
Everyone only serves the queen.
There are also a large number of palace maids in Kunning Palace, and the status of palace maids is much higher than that of eunuchs. The highest status is the first-grade palace official.
She is responsible for managing the trivial affairs of the harem. She is the empress dowager or the person who holds the phoenix seal on behalf of the empress. She has a very high status. Therefore, when Aunt Tao and Shuang Xi went to find Yang Fan and Xiao Niang Pi, they must be treated with respect and caution.
Seeing Chongzhen's hesitant expression, Shuangxi did not dare to say anything and stood behind Wang Chengen with his head lowered.
As if struck by lightning, Chongzhen asked in a trembling voice: "What did he say? Say it again. There are only 70,000 left in the capital camp of 40,000."
After the emperor read the memorial, his heart was in turmoil.
Chongzhen is actually very stupid and has a sharp eye. I can understand very few things at a glance. It is too difficult to fool me. When I think about several things connected, it seems that four or four is different from ten.
Without Yang Fan to guard them, the forces in the Western Regions would retreat. The imperial court would also try its best to deal with Jiannu.
The Juyanhaicheng City abandoned in the Han Dynasty was rebuilt, and together with Jiayuguan Pass, it blocked the retreat of the Western Regions into the Central Plains from the south to the north.
Chongzhen waved his hand and asked Wen Chenghe to come up. I sat back under the chair and saw Emperor Zhou and his two beloved concubines looking at me.
The longer I have been an emperor now, the more I am able to step back into the role, and the more my joy and anger become tangible.
"Let me back off," Chongzhen said. It seems that tonight I can accompany the emperor and his concubines to have a good meal.
If the current side is victorious and the small army of Gao Qiqian is forced to retreat, I am afraid that new border troubles will form.
I figured it out with all my heart and soul, and I passed the test. As for the rest of us, we don’t care about our dead balls.
However, when I thought about increasing troops and spending money, I didn't have a headache. For a while, I sat outside and became entangled.
It seems that the old dog came back to ask for help from my troops in Beijing.
Wen Cheng said it all. At that time, when sailing against the current, it was to retreat before advancing. If we must take a step back and defeat the Gao Qiqian people, the northwest will be completely stable. Monan will also be occupied.
The emperor is not yet on the verge of anger. The reason why he still talks to me in a pleasant manner is because the emperor has a small stomach and is afraid of frightening the emperor.
Look at the tired look on my face, and then the expression on my face relaxed.
The Beijing camp is mainly infantry, supplemented by a large number of cavalry, musketeers, and artillery. Facing the enemy's elite cavalry, it is actually at a disadvantage. Yang Fan is not very powerful if he can achieve that result.
"Bring the memorial from Uncle Dingyuan, he will go back to the Royal Horse Prison to rest for a while. If nothing happens, I will summon you again." Chongzhen said with an expression on his face.
At the same time, send a group of elite troops to escort the small division back to the Snowy Region, to the Holy City and the Holy Palace. They will also help me reorganize the Snowy Region. In this way, the problem in the northwest will be completely solved.
Di Qiqian thought that the emperor was shocked that there were not so few Gao Qiqian, but my best ones, and only half of the Beijing camp was left.
Without the horse, the gap with Jiannu would be very small. Chongzhen was really tempted.
We can definitely be allowed to retreat into Monan Mongolia, because we are more ferocious hungry wolves.
"Your Majesty, Governor Gao Qiqian has returned and is asking to see Your Majesty outside the palace. He said he has urgent military information to present."
Yang Fan put forward his idea in detail outside the memorial. Concentrate all our efforts to defeat the Gao Qiqian people. When we return to the Western Region, we will backhand deal with the Qinghai Haixi Mongolia who followed the booing and the Guanxi Mongolia in Jiayuguan. At the same time, we will completely
Conquered Alxa Mongolia.
I hurried in, but at that time I had better leave quickly. I'll wait and see if your Majesty will attack anyone else.
I was also grateful to Yang Fan in my heart. Fortunately, I gave him that letter, but I'm afraid I didn't get through today.
And without the Hehuang Valley and Monan in Qinghai, Xiao Ming is still short of bad horses.
I made careless plans. I started the expedition last year and fought all the way to Siyuan City. I also pacified the Orshaos Low Plains. It was a tough battle. The loss of 27,000 people was really small.
Chongzhen picked up the memorial and found that it was very thick. Seeing that the emperor and others dared to eat it, he stood up and said, "Let them eat first. I will go to Qianqing Palace to deal with political affairs."
Wen Cheng's memorial is very thick, with a total of 70,000 to 70,000 words written. It outlines the entire situation in the northwest in a very vague way. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of blocking those who rise up and lurk.
"What's the matter?" Chongzhen asked.
Di Qiqian plopped down and knelt on the ground, crying: "Your Majesty, the war in the northwest is slowing down. Gao Qiqian has not yet gathered 770,000 cavalry, and those are still the herdsmen who have come to herd and provide protection. Jingying
Outside Siyuan City, there are only 70,000 people. Uncle Dingyuan sent an old slave to ask Your Majesty for reinforcements."
I'm a good person when it comes to diving low. I held my head high and walked back in a hurry. I first looked at the emperor's face with my peripheral vision, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I've been around the emperor all year round, and I know the emperor very well.
Tumu Fort Yinjian is far away. The hatred between Jingying and Oala has not yet been settled.
"The emperor and his two beloved concubines eat their food because they care about me. Let me first read Yang Qing's memorial."
Di Qiqian said quickly: "There are not yet 17,000 people in the Beijing Camp in Guihua City. But this is an important area and is also the route for the small army from the Beijing Camp. These people can and dare to move, Your Majesty."
That anger was because our small group of people were all greedy for life and feared death, so we ran away from the battle. Rather, we dared to return to the capital privately without the emperor's will. That was a violation of dragon scales.
In ancient times, there were few rules in the family. The head of the family was responsible for eating, and others were responsible for eating. None of the emperor and the others used chopsticks, and just sat quietly.
To be honest, there was less luck in Siyuan City that time, and I am willing to come back. But if I ran back without the emperor's will, I'm afraid Your Majesty has failed in this situation.
Chongzhen felt a little better now. At least Gao Qiqian ran back by himself, and it was Yang Fan who sent me to deliver the message. It seemed that he was asking for help. If the battlefield situation worsened, these losers would also run away.
return.
Although the law is to punish everyone, and no one has a reason to come back for business. We are also fools, and we have already thought of bad countermeasures. But the emperor is deceived after all.
Only then did Chongzhen realize that there were not yet 77,000 people in the capital camp, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When I got off the train back, lying under the comfortable berth, I kept thinking about the risks of returning to Beijing that time.
As soon as I looked into the emperor's eyes, I knew I was going to suffer.
Yang Fan's idea was very clear. At that time, it was possible to pull the trigger, and the whole country had to mobilize the strength to win the battle first. Then the situation in the entire northwest took a turn for the worse.
The eight people including the emperor stood up quickly, saluted the emperor and said, "I respectfully send you to your majesty."
Chongzhen waved his hands in front of his back and went directly to Xinuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace without saying anything.
The emperor's eyes were full of anger.
Without the low-grade war horses, the chances of success in dealing with Jiannu and regaining Liaodong were slim.
