"Mom, what the hell is this? Why did Jianlu, such a good person, run away? I regret it. If we fight together, we can also gain some merit."

"Who says it's not true? Duke Cheng, what do you think His Majesty is doing right now? We, the Governor of the Imperial Guard, are accompanying you on this expedition. Although we didn't go into battle, we followed you all the way. Do you think we have a share in this meritorious service?"

"Then it must be there. It's hard work without any merit. Duke Cheng, do you think we should..."

Zhu Chunchen, who was in a bad mood, felt that there were a bunch of flies buzzing in his ears. His relatives, headed by Tang Guozuo, surrounded him and kept shouting, with the intention of asking him to come forward and kowtow at the commander's tent of the Chinese army.

Son of Heaven.

"That's enough, please leave me alone!"

Zhu Chunchen shouted in a deep voice: "What do you all want to do? Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind.

Is now the time to talk about this?

The news of whether the Xifengkou Fortress Pass has been recovered has not come back yet, but you are so helpless. If Your Majesty thinks too much, what do you want to do?

Do you want to force me to have a baby?!"

"..."

Tang Guozuo and his entourage had different expressions. They looked at Zhu Chunchen, who was slightly angry. Didn't they just want His Majesty to know that they also had credit for the Ming Dynasty's repelling the Jianlu, so how could this involve forcing the emperor to marry?!

"snort!"

Zhu Chunchen snorted coldly, flicked his robe sleeves, and walked towards his tent. At this time, he did not want to trigger a thunderstorm. He had experienced the power of the emperor.

When the situation of the war was unclear, the "envoys" sent by Jianlu were killed when the emperor asked, and even ordered Hou Shilu and others to kill them in front of him. It was also at that time that Zhu Chunchen saw the unknown side of the emperor.

.

Iron-blooded.

Cold.

Calm.

Facing that killing operation, Zhu Chunchen was afraid and failed to fulfill his duty of escort. Although he paid a corresponding price, he was also afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would come to settle accounts with him again.

From then on, Zhu Chunchen did not dare to think about anything else, for fear of being punished by Emperor Chongzhen. If he was dismissed from his official position, or a more severe punishment, it would not be something he could bear.

Being an empty-headed prince and being a prince with some authority are two completely different concepts.

"...Your Majesty, I feel that Ma Shilong's command will definitely be able to recapture Xifengkou. As long as this place is captured, there will be no loopholes in our defense line within the Ming Pass."

Sun Chengzong stood in front of the map and explained his thoughts. Wang Qia, Li Banghua and other military officials were standing in front of the map to point out important officials, but they stood quietly aside.

According to the military reports currently available, it is only a matter of time before Jianlu evacuates the Daming Pass. From the time Jianlu evacuated Hanerzhuang to Xifengkou, the cavalry troops dispatched by the Ming Dynasty caused unforeseen consequences to the Mongolian soldiers behind them.

Small damage.

"Even if there are no loopholes, it is only for the moment."

Emperor Chongzhen touched his chin, stared at the map in front of him, and said: "In the first battle of the Ming Dynasty when the Jianlu invaders invaded us, the governor Wang Yuanya, the commander-in-chief Zhu Guoyan, the deputy commander-in-chief Zhu Lai and other officials and generals were all killed in the battle.

In the land of Jimiyong Sanxie, many problems and hidden dangers have been exposed after this battle. The vacant official positions and the positions of commanding troops everywhere cannot wait.

While our main force of the Ming Dynasty is still on the frontline battlefield, and the captives are fleeing in panic, not daring to commit further crimes, we need to determine these positions as soon as possible."

This time the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty and completely destroyed the military system in Jizhou Town, and even Wang Yuanya, the governor of Shuntian, died.

Although many high-ranking Ming generals died in this battle, it also made room for Emperor Chongzhen and created conditions for him to arrange available and reliable candidates.

The land of Jimiyong Sanxie and the land of Liaoqian, these two places together are the important areas for the Ming Dynasty to defend the capital and curb the threat of the rebels. Therefore, whether these two areas can cooperate well will directly affect the Ming Dynasty's capital.

The stability of key areas.

For Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, it was related to his ability to clean up and reorganize the court without distractions after returning to the court, and lay the foundation for some subsequent plans.

Base.

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua stood there with different expressions. Apparently they all guessed that the emperor wanted to reorganize the barrier to protect the capital.

"In this battle, the Tianxiong Army's commander-in-chief, Lu Xiangsheng, made great achievements and created an extremely favorable situation for our Ming Dynasty to defeat the Jianlu."

Emperor Chongzhen turned around and said in a stern voice: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is an eternal truth, and we should not chill the hearts of good ministers and heroes who have made meritorious deeds.

Therefore, I have decided to depose Liu Ce from the position of Governor of Ji Liao, promote Lu Xiangsheng to serve as Governor of Ji Liao, add the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and lead the Ministry of War with the title of Minister of War. I will refer to the draft edict in front of the Military Aircraft Department and issue it clearly."

"..."

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua opened their eyes slightly and were surprised. This Lu Xiangsheng was in the emperor's heart, so he was awarded such an important position.

"Your Majesty, is this matter considered in the long term?" Wang Qia stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "After all, the position of Governor of Ji Liao is related to..."

"Are you questioning my decision?"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "How long can I stay on the front line with the Qinwang soldiers and horses from all over the Ming Dynasty? Do you still want to see the Jianlu invade my Ming Dynasty again? Or do you want to protect Liu Ce?"

"I don't dare!"

Wang Qia showed fear on his face and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Don't dare be the best!"

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "What I said is not to discuss with you, but to decide that after this Jianlu invasion, I only have one thing in mind.

That is to say, the capable ones go up, the mediocre ones give way, and the mediocre ones go down!

So don’t stress to me here, what kind of turmoil will the decision I make now cause in the court? When the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, why did no one dare to stand up and share my worries?!"

Elevating Lu Xiangsheng to the position of governor of Jiliao was a decision made by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration. After all, this position was closely related to Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan's position as governor can no longer be maintained, but Liaodong cannot be left without someone in charge. The Ming Dynasty must be rectified and the Ming Dynasty must be stabilized.

The previous conversation with Sun Chengzong was to ask him to be mentally prepared. Liaodong needs him to be in charge, but the strategy for building captives needs to be changed. The imperial court cannot allocate money to Liaodong without restraint.

Faced with the powerful intimidation of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua did not dare to have any unnecessary opinions or explanations. After all, in this battle against Jianlu, the Ming Dynasty could achieve the final victory only by relying on the command of Emperor Chongzhen.
