"Master Supervisor, there are people coming from Beijing. Please go back with General Manchu to receive the order immediately!"
"Preaching the imperial edict? This Governor and Man Gui?"
The man wearing golden mountain armor sounded a little surprised in his voice, and then looked at Man Gui aside, his eyes full of doubts.
That's right, on the city wall is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ji Liao and the commander of the important town in Liaodong. The group of people behind him are deputy general Zuo Fu, generals Zu Dashou, Zhao Lijiao and others.
"Everyone, follow me back to the Governor's Mansion to receive the order!"
After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the bottom of the city. The generals behind him also followed him down the city wall and went straight to the Ji Liao Governor's Mansion in the city.
Standing in the center of the lobby of Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Zhe saw Yuan Chonghuan and others coming in, and immediately said: "Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan and the general Mangui accepted the order!"
"My ministers Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, together with their generals, will receive the order!"
Yuan Chonghuan and others were wearing armor, but they just knelt on one knee and saluted the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, who was entrusted by heaven, said: To seek governance, the generals who support the army should adhere to the principles of morality, teach loyalty and encourage talents... Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao... Jia Zi serves the government, uses consolation to show his ambition, and is honored!
Restrictions: Ningyuan's general, Man Gui, was brave and honest, but he started his own army and did not know how to write... Man Gui and his lieutenants returned to Beijing for a pilgrimage inspection, and immediately returned to Beijing with the person who conveyed the order. There must be no mistake! "
The contrast between the two parts of the imperial edict is obvious.
The gift given to Yuan Chonghuan is in recognition of his merits. If there is anything missing, tell him in advance and try his best to satisfy him with what he can give.
He also said that the Firearms Research Institute was stepping up the research and development of Hongyi cannons and expected to send 100 cannons over the next year, so that he could not rush ahead and just defend Ningyuan City.
The other thing is to tell him that Jiannu is trying to reduce troops and increase the number of troops, so that they can be careful and take precautions.
Man Gui also commended him for his bravery, and then asked him to take the general back to Beijing to report on his duties.
This left everyone confused. Hajj is to examine their political achievements and make a comprehensive evaluation. It is not necessarily a bad thing, but most of them end not well.
Especially going back immediately is a bit intriguing.
At Yuan Chonghuan's signal, He Kegang whispered: "My lord, what happened in the court?"
"How can a person of the rank of a lower official know about the major events in the court? The lower official is only responsible for conveying orders. I really don't know why."
Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Zhe smiled bitterly, and then looked at Man Gui, whose face was a little gloomy and uncertain: "General Man, do you need to pack your luggage? We can wait for an hour."
"Wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can!"
Man Gui, who was awakened, clasped his fists towards Yuan Chonghuan after speaking: "Superintendent, I will be called back. You are also aware of what happened in the camp, so there will be no handover.
The future of this trip is unknown. Unfortunately, I can't kill Jiannu myself. If I can come back, I will follow the governor into battle to kill Jiannu. Farewell! "
"Go and take care!"
Yuan Chonghuan said lightly, and the generals also clasped their fists towards Man Gui, their eyes full of sighs.
Zhao led the teacher on one side: "Supervisor, I would like to send Manchu troops to you, please allow me to do so!"
"Go! You can go wherever you want!"
But except for Zhao Shujiao, no one else in the hall moved.
When Zhao led Jiao's figure left the lobby, the expressions of sadness on the faces of the generals in the lobby instantly turned from gloomy to sunny.
"Superintendent, Man Gui has always been at odds with you. If he is called back this time, I am afraid that dismissal will be the lightest punishment!"
"Finally, he was transferred away. He always went against the Superintendent because of his military merit. It seems that Your Majesty still trusts the Superintendent the most!"
"Now the only foreign general left is Zhao Shujiao. Even if he has opinions, he can only listen."
"Great, a hundred cannons will be sent soon. A dozen of them will be able to beat the Jian slaves to death.
With one hundred gates, we can push the front directly to Jinzhou, or even directly outside Shengjing City! "
"Supervisor, the recapture of Liaodong is just around the corner. This is an unparalleled achievement. I will be granted the title of Marquis and the Prime Minister!"
…
If Chongzhen heard the conversation of the generals in the hall, he would probably be furious.
Liaodong generals and Liaodong native generals and warlord forces have been formed.
Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a moment: "On my birthday, Mangui will be transferred away. You will receive his men and horses and be responsible for guarding Ningyuan.
Jiannu has been mobilized frequently recently, and has been in contact with many grassland tribes. There may be big moves.
You must be careful and do not leave the city to fight without the order of my supervisor! "
"The last general takes command!"
After Zu Dashou received the military order, he hesitated: "Supervisor, some time ago, Jian Nu spread many rumors in the city.
Do you want to make a secret and clarify it with His Majesty, so that Mangui will not use it to criticize you after returning to court? "
"No need, the pure will be purified by itself, and the turbid will be turbid by itself. Why should I clarify it if I haven't done it before?
His Majesty has done so many things since he ascended the throne, which shows that he is not a mediocre person. This rumor will be self-defeating. "
"What about Mao Wenlong from Pi Island? I heard that Huang Taiji also sent someone to contact him secretly and gave him a lot of gifts. What if Mao Wenlong is incited to rebel?"
"According to the news, the imperial court asked Bi Ziyan to collect grain in Shandong and prepare to transport Pi Dao. It is estimated that he will arrive within this time."
"It's true for the imperial court. Even we here are not satisfied. To return it to this bandit leader, Your Majesty is really..."
"Be careful! Is Your Majesty someone we can talk about? Next time, we will engage in military law!"
Hearing what happened to Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Then he frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to the planned deployment, prepare everything. Don't take it lightly."
After the generals left, the hall became quiet, but Yuan Chonghuan couldn't calm down.
He thought about the rumors in the city, the letter sent secretly by Huang Taiji, Ningyuan City, Shanhaiguan, Mao Wenlong...
He was a little unclear about the emperor's attitude now. He had been at odds with Man Gui and Zhao Zhijiao for more than a day or two.
In the sixth year of Tianqi's reign, he wrote a memorial requesting that Mangui be transferred, and the court agreed.
It stands to reason that after he ascended the throne, he was immediately activated and given a lot of titles. He was truly the number one person in Ji Liao. He had already been transferred to Mangui. Why was he transferred at this moment?
Moreover, Shanhaiguan actually transferred the British public officer to serve as the manager of Jiliao, which made him even more confused.
It seems to be to coordinate all affairs within the pass and protect all materials for the entire Guanning defense line.
Moreover, the British father did a good job after he came for a period of time, and he cooperated well and did not use his status to pressure him.
But this kind of guarantee always made him feel a little scared.
I would rather not have this kind of guarantee, because once the British Duke has thoughts about him and cuts off supplies, his 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers will become a tree without roots.
Once a change occurs, given the status of the British Duke and his new official position, people may not necessarily pay attention to his orders as the governor of Jiliao.
Are you guarding against him and the Liaodong soldiers, or are you guarding against the Jiannu? Or anti-hairy Wenlong? Or do you really want to protect the Ningyuan front line?
He won't be able to figure it out for a while.
But no matter how you look at it, it is a shock.
