Chapter 2510 Sun Chuanting promoted
Chongzhen frowned and said, "The grade is a little lower. It is indeed a bit insufficient to have the identity of just one deputy Shandong inspector."
"Because it was a guest army, Sun Chuanting could not mobilize the troops in Shandong at all." Zhang Fengyi added.
Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, I will promote him to the Shandong Censorate, Shandong Army Preparation Envoy, and allow him to recruit troops on the spot in Dongchang Prefecture and Jining Prefecture."
"How to solve the food and salary for recruiting soldiers?" Zhang Fengyi asked.
Food and pay determines the amount of troops recruited.
Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said, "All he can recruit 10,000 troops, and the food and grass will be solved by the local cooperation."
"I will send a document to Sun Chuanting in the name of the Ministry of War." Zhang Fengyi said, "Can the local troops in Shandong be transferred to Sun Chuanting for unified dispatch?"
He wanted to win more troops for Sun Chuanting.
The tiger flag was already in a difficult situation and did not have enough troops to suppress it. He was worried that Sun Chuanting would not easily fulfill Chongzhen's expectations.
"If I hand over all the troops in the local area to him, wouldn't it be a little too many?" Chongzhen frowned.
In his opinion, Sun Chuanting brought to Shandong, plus the 10,000 troops and horses recruited from Shandong, had already tens of thousands of troops. Sun Chuanting was just a military envoy, and he had already held so many troops.
Zhang Fengyi saw that Chongzhen was unwilling to let Sun Chuanting control too many soldiers, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's important to stabilize Shandong first. If Shandong is in trouble, Bei Zhili will be in danger."
It seemed that this sentence had worked. Chongzhen said reluctantly: "Then allow him to control the troops of Dongchang, Jining and Yanzhou."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Fengyi stood up and bowed to Chongzhen.
He knew that it was Chongzhen's bottom line to be able to pick out the troops from the three palaces.
He has done what he can do for Sun Chuanting. Next, it depends on whether Sun Chuanting can guarantee the safety of Shandong.
As long as Sun Chuanting can protect Shandong, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he believes that there will be no problem with Sun Chuanting being the position of governor.
"By the way, there is another thing I want to ask you, my dear." Chongzhen said to Zhang Fengyi.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhang Fengyi was curious about what Chongzhen wanted to ask him.
Chongzhen took a sip of tea, wet his lips and said, "If Shandong cannot pacify, what do you think you can transfer the troops from Shanhaiguan to Shandong to suppress the rebellion?"
"No."
As soon as Chongzhen said something, Zhang Fengyi immediately stopped him.
"Why not?" Chongzhen showed displeasure.
The elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were all in Liaodong, and this was the only way he could think of to solve the tiger flag.
If the tiger-shaped flag was huddled in Shanhaiguan and Shaanxi, he could still bear it temporarily. Later, Henan fell into the hands of the tiger-shaped flag, and he had the intention of transferring troops from Shanhaiguan to Henan. However, at that time, the slave soldiers and horses passed by Shanhaiguan and entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, so he temporarily put aside the matter in Henan and focused on dealing with the slave soldiers and horses who invaded the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the slave thief has been driven back to Liaodong, and the tiger flag is about to capture Shandong, he once again started to mobilize the troops of Shanhaiguan.
Once Shandong is in trouble, he knows that his emperor will really fall into the Jedi.
Zhang Fengyi said: "Shanhaiguan is an important place outside the pass. Once this pass is lost, there will be no support on Ningjin's line. It will be a matter of time before it falls. Without the obstacles of Shanhaiguan, slave thieves will no longer need to detour from the grassland, but can directly invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The capital will be surrounded again, and then His Majesty will be truly in danger."
"Okay, you go back and let me think about it again." Chongzhen was not happy with Zhang Fengyi's words, and he did not dispel the idea of mobilizing the troops from Shanhaiguan to enter the pass to suppress the rebellion.
In his opinion, once Shandong cannot be defended, the capital will also fall into danger. Whether to defend Shanhaiguan or not is no longer so important.
Moreover, the war in Liaodong has made him exhausted. Since he ascended the throne, the gold-swalking beast in Liaodong has already made him exhausted.
Of course, if the capital can be moved, it is of course the best. Leave the north to the tiger flag and slave thieves to fight for it, and the Ming Dynasty can reap the benefits of Nanjing.
"Your Majesty, you must not transfer the troops and horses outside Shanhaiguan and the troops outside the pass!" Zhang Fengyi was afraid that Chongzhen would impulse to get all the troops and horses from Liaodong into the pass.
"Okay, I understand, let's go back first!" Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently.
What he thought most was to move south, but unfortunately he found several ministers in the court, but no one was willing to make the case.
In order to protect the emperor's face, he was not willing to take the initiative to move south. If it weren't for the need for Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, to maintain the current situation, and only by Zhang Fengyi's refusal to stand up and share the worries of him, the emperor, he would have wanted to replace Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War.
"I'm leaving."
Seeing that Chongzhen showed impatience, Zhang Fengyi had to leave.
However, he had already decided in his heart that once Chongzhen proposed to transfer the troops from Liaodong to the pass to deal with the tiger flag, he would definitely stop it.
As the Minister of War, he was also the governor of Liaodong, so he understood it very clearly.
Now, soldiers and generals from Liaodong have been taking advantage of the Liaodong war for so many years outside the pass. They want to give up the interests of Liaodong and turn to the pass to fight with the tiger flag as a guest army. It is likely that these Liao generals were completely disunited from the court.
By then, no matter whether these Liao generals surrendered to slave thieves or continued to stay in Liaodong to listen to the tune or not, they would lose all the last elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Zhang Fengyi left, Chongzhen turned his head to look at Wang Chengen who was serving him, and said, "Big companion, you have heard what Zhang Fengyi said just now? It seems that the emperor, I, can no longer command the Ministry of War."
"Zhang Butang is indeed a bit too much, but I think that the Ministry of War is the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Butang's words alone do not count." Wang Chengen comforted Chongzhen.
After hearing this, Chongzhen sighed lightly and said, "I hope this is the case. Unfortunately, I am not surrounded by people who are unwilling to share my worries, or some mediocre people, otherwise there would be a tiger thief today."
He hated the tiger flag very much, but he also regretted it vaguely.
When he first ascended the Great Treasure, he was so energetic that he did not take the tiger-shaped flag entrenched in the northwest at all, and even regarded the tiger-shaped flag as a contribution he had made after ascending the throne.
If he had known that it would be like this today, he would rather give the Tiger Flag a title of Duke than win over Tiger Flag.
"After all, the tiger thief is a group of thieves. If my Ming Dynasty had not been repeatedly invaded by slave thieves, Your Majesty would have pacified this tiger thief long ago." Wang Chengen accompanied Chongzhen for many years, so he naturally understood what Chongzhen liked to hear.
Chongzhen sighed lightly: "Yes, without the burden of slave thieves, the tiger thief has been destroyed by me long ago, and I will not put me in a dilemma."
