Li Zhi looked at the flattering Cha Denbei, smiled and said: "I have something to ask the governor for help!"
Cha Dengbei said: "What's the matter?"
Li Zhi said: "I would like to ask the Ministry of War to cancel Tianjin West Road, merge the West Road back to Tianjin Middle Road, and cancel the Fanjiazhuang General. A garrison member will be installed in Fanjiazhuang, and the younger brother Li Xing who has made meritorious service this time will be in charge. This matter still needs to be done.
It would be better for the governor to report to the emperor!"
After hearing this, Chadenbei closed his eyes and secretly thought that even though Li Zhi had become the commander-in-chief, he was still unwilling to relax his control over Fanjiazhuang and wanted his younger brother to guard Fanjiazhuang.
However, Chadenbei is unwilling to help Li Zhi in this matter. It is not that Chadenbei has any personal thoughts about Li Zhi, but that Li Zhi is now being denounced as a traitor by Qingliu. If Chadenbei is too cooperative with Li Zhi in this matter,
It would appear that he is in the company of corrupt ministers, and he will definitely be ostracized or even expelled by Qingliu.
If you offend Li Zhi, you will lose your official position at the most. If you are abandoned by Qingliu, you will be infamy for thousands of years.
Cha Dengbei carefully considered his words, and finally said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief can report this matter directly to the emperor. The commander-in-chief has just made a great contribution, and the emperor will probably agree to it!"
Li Zhi looked at Cha Dengbei and secretly thought that this old fox seemed to be trying to please him but did not help him on key issues.
"It's not impossible for me to report to the emperor, but it seems to be that I am overstepping my authority."
Chadenbei shook his head and said: "How to overtake me? As long as the general soldier can achieve something, I don't care!" After a pause, Chadenbei said: "Okay, the general soldier is tired from the battle, so I won't bother you. I'll do it now.
Go back and write a victory report. If there are no problems with the general inspection tomorrow, send it to the capital as soon as possible!"

On December 16, hundreds of officials were meeting in the Huangji Palace.
At the beginning of the court meeting, the Minister of War read the military memorials presented by the governors on the front line. Most of the memorials reported the news that the cities on the front line had been captured by the Qing army. When the officials heard the report from the Minister of War, they all shook their heads slightly.
, sighed.
This time the Qing army entered the fortress, and Dorgon and Yue Tuo led an army of 100,000 to plunder Jifu. So far, they have captured 29 major cities in prefectures and counties. The Qing army killed countless people after conquering the cities, and only looted and carried away many of them.
There were more than 300,000 civilians, no livestock, and hundreds of thousands of treasures. However, the military attachés held back the troops, and the civilian officials who led the troops were cowardly and refused to fight. No one except Lu Xiangsheng's troops dared to face the Qing army.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were either destroyed by the Qing army and killed, or they were plundered and taken to Liaodong as slaves.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was loyal and dared to fight, had died in Julu Jiazhuang because the reinforcements could not fight alone. The emperor was very sad and sent a commissioner to Jiazhuang to investigate, and found out that Lu Xiangsheng died an extremely heroic death.
After Lu Xiangsheng's death, the momentum of the officials who spoke of war in the DPRK was greatly reduced. They all remained silent and no longer had the momentum to fight with the warlords and officials. However, the peace talks between the officials who avoided the war and advocated peace also made no progress, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not make any progress.
They were hanging Yang Sichang and others. The last time Yang Sichang sent Zhou Yuanzhong, he was almost killed by Huang Taiji.
Unable to fight or peace, the civil and military officials at the court fell into a helpless depression.
"The Qing army captured Jiyang County and massacred the city in one day. Kill me."
"enough!"
The Minister of War was still there reciting the governor's memorial, but was interrupted by the angry-looking Emperor Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in front of the throne angrily, and shouted loudly:
"Where is Chen Xinjia? Where is Gao Qiqian? They have tens of thousands of troops, and they just sit back and watch the Dongnu massacre the people of Ming Dynasty, and are indifferent?"
"Where is Hong Chengchou? Where is Sun Chuanting? Have their reinforcements not arrived yet?"
Seeing the emperor's anger, all the officials bowed their heads and remained silent for fear of causing harm to the fish in the pond.
Zhu Youjian looked at the silent officials, closed his eyes, and sat back on the throne helplessly.
Once Lu Xiangsheng dies, will our Ming Dynasty have no ministers who dare to fight?
Zhu Youjian was disappointed there when he saw Liu Yuliang, the chief minister of the cabinet, coming out of the crowd with a flushed face, holding up a dental plaque and saying: "Your Majesty, late last night, an urgent memorial of three hundred miles came from Tianjin, but it was a great victory!"
Liu Yuliang seemed to be hiding a big news, and he was so excited that his blood surged and his face turned red.
When he heard the words "big victory", Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Since it is a victory announcement, why are you taking it out now? Why don't you read it quickly?"
Hearing Liu Yuliang's words, all the officials in the court also cheered up and looked at the chief minister. The situation is very gloomy these days, and a good report is too precious.
Liu Yuliang held the memorial written by Cha Deng in his hands, his hands were trembling a little, and he read aloud:
"You are the censor of Qiandu, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Tianjin. I have something to report:"
"Thanks to the protection of our ancestors and the power of God, on December 13th, Tianjin General Li Zhi led his troops to defeat Dongnuyue Tuo's troops in Fanjiazhuang, defeating nearly 30,000 slaves. In this battle, Li Zhi's troops beheaded the owner of the Dongnu Xianghong Banner.
Yue Tuo, level 4926 for capturing the head of Dongnu and level 6413 for capturing the head of Mongolia."
Hearing Liu Yuliang's recitation, all the officials in the court were surprised. They looked at each other for a while, their eyes full of surprise, which swept away the depression just now.
Killing the leader of the Dongnu Banner in formation? This is a military achievement that has not been achieved in twenty years?
Yang Sichang knew about this good news. Liu Yuliang secretly pulled Yang Sichang aside before going to court and told him the situation. But when he heard the specific content, Yang Sichang couldn't help but look surprised. This is not
Pretend, the content of this good news is really amazing.
Li Zhi defeated 30,000 Tatars in one battle? Then Li Zhi had only 10,000 men, how could he defeat 30,000 Tatars?
These days, a thousand Tatars can chase three thousand Ming troops. From high to low, Chen Xinjia, with an army of tens of thousands, did not dare to fight with the Tatars against ten thousand soldiers. He sat back and watched the prefectures and counties being massacred by the Qing army. But Li Zhi only
He brought his own 10,000 soldiers and horses, took the general's head among the 30,000 Tatar army, and beheaded the leader Yue Tuo who entered Setonnu this time!
Not to mention the more than 10,000 captured and executed.
Yang Sichang took a breath and secretly thought that Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were really like heavenly soldiers and divine generals. Even the Zhejiang army of the Qi family army at that time could not match Li Zhi's combat power! How did Li Zhi train these soldiers?
Without this Li Zhi, maybe our Ming Dynasty can really fight on two fronts and defeat the Qing army and the bandits at the same time?
Is it time for me to change my stance and initiate a vigorous fight?
But what if I change my stance and take the lead because of Li Zhi’s victory? Will those who are taking the lead in the war pull their hair out of the little braids that they used to secretly negotiate for peace?
However, if Li Zhi continues to win one game after another, if he doesn't assume the main battle position, the situation will be even worse!
Yang Sichang fell into deep thought.
Zhu Youjian sat on the throne and did not speak for a long time.
His eyes were bright, his chest rose and fell sharply with his breathing, and his face gradually turned red. He raised his right hand, as if he wanted to say something, but then put it down. The corners of his mouth gradually curved upward, and the corners of his eyes drooped, finally forming a
with an excited smile.
"Great victory!"
Zhu Youjian stood up and said loudly to the officials:
