Chapter 711 Governor Gan Ning

However, the words of the chief minister of the cabinet reminded Chongzhen on the other hand, which made Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and suddenly he thought of an excellent way to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army...

As he thought about it, Chongzhen's eyes actually shot out two hot gazes.:.../

While watching several ministers at the same time, Chongzhen, who had already made a decision in his heart, spoke decisively...

"Zhang Aiqing is right, I should indeed issue an order... However, in addition to giving the Tiger and Leopard Army an order, I also want to give Ningxia Zhang Zhongming a order..."

Just when most ministers showed a puzzled expression on their faces, the young commander of the Jinyiwei unexpectedly showed a meaningful expression on their faces.

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, you are going to surrender Zhang Zhongming and let Zhang Zhongming continue to serve the court..."

After seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding with a default face, the commander of the Jinyiwei lit up his eyes and he complimented with excitement: "Your Majesty is wise. If the court can really surrender Zhang Zhongming and let Zhang Zhongming serve the court again... With the ability of Zhang Zhongming and Zhang, the court as the backing to give him equipment and financial support... Zhang Zhongming and Zhang will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Tiger and Leopard Army in Ningxia, and rub the arrogance of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

At this time, several cabinet ministers finally reacted.

A sudden enlightenment flashed quickly on his face, and then followed the commander of the Jinyiwei and complimented...

"Your Majesty is wise... I fully support Your Majesty's idea..."

"Okay..." Under the compliment of several old ministers, Emperor Chongzhen also became elated.

Without thinking, he decided to speak out: "Issued an order...Bei Wang Weizheng, Ningxia is a province under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even if there is a riot, the imperial court should send troops to enter Ningxia Pingjue...I feel that the Tiger and Leopard Army will not be allowed to enter Ningxia..."

"Former Ningxia General Zhang Zhongming, I think you have served for the court and made many contributions to the court... Now I will not blame you for your participation in the chaos... Now I will be granted the title of Governor of Ganning, commanding all military and government affairs in Gansu and Ningxia, and prohibiting one soldier from the Tiger and Leopard Army from entering Ningxia and Gansu..."

"If you receive the order and take office as the governor of Gansu and Ningxia, I will allow you to form and train 50,000 new imperial troops in Gansu and Ningxia provinces to fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army. All the food, grass and military expenses required to form the new army will be borne by the court..."

"To show the sincerity of the court, my sincerity... As long as Lord Zhang receives the order and entrusts the order to fight with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the court will immediately allocate 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 dan of grain, 20,000 grenades, 5,000 muskets and 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder to support the Governor's Office of Ganning and ensure that one soldier and one soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Army cannot enter Gansu and Ningxia provinces..."

Governor General of Ganning... When Chongzhen mentioned this official title, several important officials subconsciously thought of the Governor General of Shanxi, which Wei Zheng had served as.

In their eyes, Wei Zheng could go from a governor of two provinces to a warlord... He Zhang Zhongming could do it too.

So, after Chongzhen finished speaking, even though several old Chen knew that their next actions were to resist the order, they still knelt on the ground without hesitation and asked Chongzhen to take back the order...

Looking at the old minister who looked sincere and sincere in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled.

He spoke directly and explained with a satisfied smile to these old ministers...

"Dear friends, I know you are for my own good and for the court... But you are not considering it very comprehensively..."

"Think about the current situation in Ganning and Ning provinces. Do you think that without food and income... the Governor's Office of Ganning, which has lost the support of the imperial court, can last..."

"I can say with certainty that it will not last even a month... As long as the court controls the food source of the Governor's Office of Ganning, the source of military expenditure, the source of weapons... Then the Governor's Office of Ganning, will never be able to escape the control of the court..."

With the patient explanation of Emperor Chongzhen, these old ministers finally let go. Then, they supported Emperor Chongzhen to do this without hesitation...

Xining City, Ningxia, where Zhang Zhongming’s former general yamen was located...

Due to the war for a year, this once very prosperous county town has become very desolate now.

Xining General Office is not damaged very seriously because it is a brick and stone structure.

After a brief disturbance, Zhang Zhongming directly generalized the Central Command and set up the General Office where he used to work.

Just when Zhang Zhongming looked at a map, thinking about how to continue to expand his strength and become the veritable King of Ningxia.

A personal guard suddenly broke in and whispered a few words in Zhang Zhongming's ear...

After that, Zhang Zhongming's face showed a very surprised expression. Then, he subconsciously exclaimed...

"Why is he back...I remember, he has returned to Nanjing... Let him come in immediately, be sure to keep it confidential. This matter must not be disclosed..."

Soon, one of his former subordinates walked in with a flushed face.

Before I could speak, this former subordinate rushed to speak: "General...General...I have an important news to tell you immediately, it is related to the life and death of you and your subordinates..."

After saying that, the messenger from the court delivered the things that the Jinyiwei secretly found to Zhang Zhongming.

Although his troops under his command have exceeded 20,000, he is still very afraid of the strong enemy of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

So, when he learned that 20,000 elite troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army would enter Ningxia in the latest ten days, he subconsciously frowned.

Then, he asked this former subordinate...

"I want to know, I have betrayed the court, why do you still give me this news..."

The subordinates did not hesitate and replied bluntly: "This news was not given to you by me, but by the court..."

"As for why, the reason is very simple. The court wants to save you, but he doesn't want to watch you die at the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"This is the first imperial edict given to you by Your Majesty. If you agree, there will be a second and third..."

"I believe that with the help of the court, your strength in Ningxia can be doubled at least on the current basis... In this way, when you fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army, you will become more likely to win... So, I hope the general can carefully consider the requirements and conditions of the court..."
