"this……"
Mangui, who had just sat down, stood up immediately after reading the excerpt, his face full of anger.
The brochure contains evidence of Jin Yiwei's investigation into Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion.
He can accept corruption, taking military pay, etc. After all, this is a secret matter in the military.
But it was shameful for him to let his cronies pretend to be thieves, hijack the caravan, and kill people to take credit.
After the anger passed, Man Gui's heart suddenly trembled, and there was some hesitation in his eyes.
The emperor wanted to kill Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, so he was brought back to prepare himself to take over the position of the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu and take charge of the Xuanfu?
"Yes, just as you thought!"
Chongzhen's words confirmed what Man Gui was thinking.
Mangui was overjoyed, and Chongzhen said again: "Xuanfu is the head of the nine sides and the northern barrier of Beijing. Xuanfu Town is not just a problem for the commander-in-chief Wang Chengyin.
Problems such as insufficient pay and weak armaments cannot be solved by changing the commander-in-chief. If you want to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, do you have any countermeasures? "
"I understand!"
After Mangui responded, he thought for a while and walked to the map hanging in Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, I am from Xuanfu. I served in the army from the Xuanfu Guards, so I know Xuanfu quite well.
If you want to solve the Xuanfu's problems, you must first pacify the outside world.
Xuanfu Town starts from Mutianyu in the east and ends at Xiyang River in the west. The defense line is about a thousand miles and is divided into six lines of defense. Two of them are the most important.
The first is Zhangjiakou Fort, which is more than 70 miles northwest of Xuanfu. It is the location of the largest mutual trade in the Ming Dynasty and the center of trade between Mongolia and Han.
The stability of Zhangjiakou Fort is related to the peace of both sides.
Next is Chaigou Fort, where you go to the Xiaxi Road garrison and where the Xuanda Defense Line connects.
If this area is cut off and Xuanfu and Datong cannot coordinate, then the Mongols will have the opportunity to invade the interior and plunder.
Therefore, the two must have trustworthy generals for defense, plus a deputy general who is responsible for assisting. Nachen still needs to transfer three people to Xuan Mansion.
Only when foreign enemies do not invade and the two places are stable, can we have time to slowly rectify internal affairs. It can be done in one fortress or one road. "
While explaining the Xuanfu defense line, Mangui used a wooden stick to point to some locations on the map, while explaining the Ming and Mongolian forces on both sides of the defense line.
Man Gui's explanation was extremely clear, and Chongzhen listened clearly, secretly saying that it was right to bring Man Gui back.
"Since you have countermeasures, how about a suitable candidate?"
"have!"
Mangui didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "When I was in Liaodong, there was a deputy general named You Shilu.
In May of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jiannu besieged Jinzhou. Chen and Shilu led their troops to fight to relieve the siege, and then resigned and returned home.
This man is well versed in both culture and military strategy, and can be transferred to Zhangjiakou Fortress as a staff general! "
"His brother You Shiwei is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. When Ningyuan called the police, he also accompanied his ministers to help and fought hard in the east of the city.
His abilities are also quite good, so he was transferred to serve as his deputy. "
"The third person, Liu Zhaoji, was born in a family of generals. He is a hereditary commander. Now he is working as a guerrilla in Shanhaiguan. He can be transferred to Chaigoubao as a staff general!"
Seeing that Chongzhen was deep in thought, Mangui said: "If your Majesty has any doubts, you can send Jin Yiwei to investigate. These people are close to the capital of Beijing, so they can investigate quickly!"
"No, you don't need to be suspicious of those who employ them, and you don't need to be suspicious of those who are suspicious. Since you said it's okay, let them go. I will send someone to tell them to go directly to Xuan Mansion, and we will meet there."
"Thank you very much for your Majesty's trust. I will live up to it..."
Mangui was full of gratitude, but he was stunned in the middle of the sentence. He seemed to have heard the emperor talking about us just now.
Who are we? Who else but myself? That is the emperor. The emperor goes to Xuanfu with him?
Thinking of this, Man Gui got excited all over and stood up in an instant. His face no longer had the calmness and confidence it had before, but was replaced by fear and uneasiness.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... also want to go to Xuan Mansion?"
"I want to inspect the northwest and go to the Xuan Mansion by the way. I have already discussed this matter with the six ministries of the cabinet and the itinerary has been decided. Just wait and see!"
Hearing what Chongzhen said, Mangui felt relieved. Since the cabinet and the six ministries knew about it, arrangements must have been made.
However, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
After discussing the candidates for Xuanfu, Chongzhen asked some questions about Guan Ning's defense line.
For example, the deployment of troops in each castle, what natural dangers can be defended, the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming and Jiannu sergeants, which Ming soldiers are available, etc.
In response to Chongzhen's question, Mangui stood in front of the map and picked it up at his fingertips.
Man Gui was talking most of the time, and Chongzhen would ask a question from time to time.
This summons lasted until the lanterns came on and it didn't end. Chongzhen still had more to say.
A whole afternoon of discussion gave him a preliminary understanding of cold weapon warfare, and a further understanding of the Guanning Defense Line.
After letting Mangui accompany him to have a dinner, he let Mangui leave.
Man Gui's face was gloomy when he left the Qianqing Palace, and he was silent on the way back to the guild hall, leaving all his cronies baffled.
"Don't go anywhere these days, just stay in the room. If anyone dares to go out, I will break his legs!"
After leaving a harsh word, Mangui entered the room.
After entering the room, his gloomy expression suddenly brightened, and he grinned, completely different from before.
The Xuanfu Chief Soldier and him were both General Soldiers, and their ranks were the same. However, the Xuanfu Chief Soldier's gold content and real power were far behind him.
In terms of military strength, he only had 20,000 troops in Ningyuan, while Xuanfu had 90,000 troops.
In terms of real power, in Ningyuan, there are still governor Ji Liao and Liaodong Jinglue suppressing it, while Xuanfu is the real boss.
Although the governor of Xuanfu fought for power and the governor of Xuanda exercised control, he was the commander-in-chief and had the final say on one-third of an acre of land.
Although it is not possible to go to the battlefield and fight Jiannu with real swords and guns for the time being, it will be a matter of time.
Sooner or later, Jiannu and Ming Dynasty will have a shocking decisive battle. As long as he trains Xuanfu's troops well, it will not be too late to participate.
Time passed like this, and just when Mangui and others were feeling a little stiff in the room, the emperor sent someone to deliver a letter to them.
Then a few people took advantage of the night and left.
A few days later, Chongzhen also left quietly. Sun Chengzong and the cabinet continued to go to Dongnuan Pavilion every day. It was obviously that the emperor was summoning the right officials, but in fact they just went to Dongnuan Pavilion to approve some mistakes.
Although the ministers did not know why the emperor did not go to court for several days, they were not suspicious when they saw that Sun Chengzong and others went to Dongnuang Pavilion every day.
Wang Chengen sent people to inform the six ministries and nine ministers from time to time, which caused the ministers to think that the emperor was still there but did not want to go to court.
The strategy for several players is very simple, just count as many days as you can fool them.
At this moment, on the official road that was still seventy or eighty miles away from Xuanfu Town, a caravan of about a hundred people was walking slowly.
If someone from the army were here, they would definitely be able to see that the carriage drivers, horsemen, and guards were all good players in the army.
Yes, these people are Chongzhen who left Beijing secretly.
There were more than a hundred people in his team, and except for eight people from Fang Wen, the rest were all experts drawn from the Forbidden Army.
Accompanying him were Wang Laipin, the number one scholar in martial arts, Xu Yanqi, the number two scholar, Fierce as a Tiger, Hu Dawei, Du Yinxi and other ten martial arts scholars.
Not only to protect his safety, but also to experience them, this journey will definitely not be peaceful.
Although there are only more than a hundred people, with this convoy as the center, there are more than ten similar convoys hundreds of miles in front and back.
This official road is the official road from the south to the north to protect the city of Zhangjiakou. There is an endless stream of caravans, which is not surprising.
