"Commander Zu, what do you mean by Your Majesty's summoning Chen Jisheng?" He Kegang stood with a sword in his hand, looking at the heavily guarded Chinese military commander's tent in front of him and frowning.

"My Ming Dynasty fought against Jianlu. After the damn battle was over, the Dongjiang army rescued by King Qin arrived. And there were only a few thousand people. Why does Your Majesty value them so much?"

Zu Dashou, who was standing beside him, had a solemn look on his face and frowned: "I don't know, the commander-in-chief, how your majesty's holy will is beyond our ability to fathom.

I'm just afraid something big is going to happen.

The two units of the Yongwei Battalion and the Zhongyong Army favored by His Majesty have been removed from Da'ankou, Hongshankou and other places, and now it is the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who are guarding the outside of the Chinese army's commander's tent."

As time goes by, Xifengkou, which was stolen by the Jianlu, has been successfully recovered by the Ming army. Under the unified deployment of the military aircraft department, the Ming army is gradually mobilizing troops and horses to restore the Zhongxie in Jizhou Town.

The defense system also involved many soldiers and horses rescued by King Qin, as well as Yongzhuang of the Ming Dynasty who were not in charge.

However, some of Emperor Chongzhen's actions during this period also attracted the attention of many people, who secretly speculated on the emperor's intentions.

…

"Chen Jisheng, as the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, it is not easy for you to maintain Dongjiang to this level." Emperor Chongzhen said with a calm expression, tapping the desk and looking at Chen Jisheng who was standing with his head bowed.

"The murder of Mao Wenlong had a great impact on our Ming Dynasty's layout in Liaodong, and it also had a great impact on your Dongjiang Army.

However, what makes me feel gratified is that when our Ming Dynasty was invaded by the rebels, I issued an edict to quell the rebellion and save the country, and sent people to your side of Dongjiang Town. The fact that the Dongjiang Army was able to follow the edict and rescued King Qin is enough to prove your loyalty.

"

"Wow~"

In the commander's tent, the sound of Jia Ye was heard. Chen Jisheng, who had been standing with his head bowed before, knelt down on one knee and became a little excited. He cupped his fists and shouted: "The Dongjiang Army is the army of the Ming Dynasty. It helps the country and the dynasty to share the worries. It is the last general and so on.

I have fulfilled my duty and failed to kill the enemy on the battlefield this time. Please punish me!"

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with Chen Jisheng's attitude. The soul of the Dongjiang Army was Mao Wenlong, who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan. He did not want to comment too much on the merits and demerits of this man. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death.

However, considering his future layout of Liaodong and his plan to curb the development of the Jianlu forces, Emperor Chongzhen must make corresponding adjustments to the Dongjiang Army in the post-Mao Wenlong era, and strive to build Dongjiang Town, which is isolated in Liaodong, into the Ming Dynasty.

Forward base in Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan faked the imperial edict and killed Mao Wenlong. In order to check and balance the arrogant soldiers under Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town was first divided into four associations, and then merged into two associations, named Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo. This also made Dongjiang Town hostile to each other.

The confrontation caused Dongjiang Town to lose its advantage in threatening Liaodong.

In fact, the reason why people like Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others betrayed the Ming Dynasty later was purely because the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not look at others and oppressed them wantonly. As a result, guys like Geng Zhongming tensed up in their hearts, fearing that they would fail.

The footsteps of Mao Wenlong.

Putting aside the appearance and looking at the essence, it was the political imbalance of the Ming Dynasty that led to the emergence of this series of tragedies. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have experienced this.

Prejudice is a chronic disease that deeply buries the literati of the Ming Dynasty.

"Get up, it's not your fault."

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said: "Dongjiang Town is so far away from the Ming Dynasty. It is really not easy for you to come to help at this time.

For this loyalty alone, I will never mistreat the Dongjiang Army who was sent to the rescue by King Qin this time, but right now I have an errand that I want to ask you to do."

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Affected by the fact that Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the generals of the Dongjiang Army headed by Chen Jisheng were actually dissatisfied with the imperial court, especially in Dongjiang Town.

The latest, or allocating part of it.

In fact, when Emperor Chongzhen's edict to fight the rebellion and save the country reached their Dongjiang Town, many generals were unwilling to obey the edict of King Qin to rescue them. After all, the court treated them differently, and now they were in a critical situation of being invaded by the rebels.

, think of their Dongjiang Army again?

Faced with such a situation, the calm Chen Jisheng defied all opinions and decided to send troops to rescue the king.

Interestingly, all the generals who expressed their unwillingness to obey the imperial edict were all transferred to the rescue team by Chen Jisheng, while those who were willing to obey the imperial edict were all kept in Dongjiang Town.

No one knew what Chen Jisheng was thinking about his decision.

"Don't keep saying the word 'die'."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "Can't you serve me and the Ming Dynasty while you are alive? You immediately followed my instructions and rushed to Qian'an City with Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Yongwei camp, to ask Yuan Chonghuan to come and see me!

Let Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi go with you to Qian'an City. Remember, no conflicts are allowed."

When he talked about this, the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face disappeared and was replaced by a sharp look. This was his first step to overthrow Yuan.

"..."

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he was stunned. He raised his head in astonishment and looked at the sharp-looking Emperor Chongzhen. He couldn't help but feel shocked. He lowered his head and responded: "Here!"

"Go ahead."

Emperor Chongzhen could imagine Chen Jisheng's reaction. After all, the relationship between Yuan Chonghuan and their Dongjiang Army was well known in the Ming Dynasty.

Jiao Zhao killed the leader of their Dongjiang Army. None of these arrogant and powerful generals, especially Mao Wenlong's adopted son and adopted grandson, did not hate Yuan Chonghuan.

Destroying Yuan is what he wants to do.

For a politician like Yuan Chonghuan, if he stayed in the Qing Dynasty, his idea of ​​pacifying the Liao Dynasty would not be implemented, let alone Yuan Chonghuan's various performances in the battle against the Jianlu, and the Jianlu's invasion of the Ming Dynasty. No one could protect Yuan Chonghuan.

Adjusting the deployment of Dongjiang Town is also what he wants to do.

If those arrogant generals, who harbor distrust and resentment towards the imperial court, do not send Chen Jisheng and others to Qian'an with Zhou Yuji and bring Yuan Chonghuan to them, I'm afraid many people will mistakenly think that

If you want to get rid of them, there will be a mutiny.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there can be no one-size-fits-all thing. This is too simple and crude and does not suit the status of the emperor. Emperor Chongzhen will not do such stupid things.

Checks and balances are the kingly way and the way of the emperor.
