"Your Majesty, Li Ruolian, is here to see you!"
As soon as Li Ruolian entered Dongnuan Pavilion, she saluted Chongzhen. Chongzhen waved his hand: "Say it!"
"Your Majesty, the Sun Yingyuan you asked me to investigate has already been investigated!"
"Have you checked?"
This time Chongzhen was really a little surprised. Where did he check this within a quarter of an hour?
Then he reacted: "You mean, he is on the list of young military generals of the Ming Dynasty that I asked you to check?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Li Ruolian said in a deep voice: "After I returned to Beijing from Taiyuan City, I immediately informed him.
Jizhou Guard is only more than 300 miles away from Beijing, and I assisted Cao Wenzhao in commanding envoys to move around Zunhua, so Sun Yingyuan was found immediately!
Your Majesty, this person is the best choice for training, leading troops, and commanding, and his own strength is outstanding.
In my opinion, he is not inferior to Huang Degong and other commanders. Unfortunately, he was dismissed by Duke Cheng and other nobles.
I originally wanted to wait until the investigation was completed before submitting it to His Majesty for approval, but I never thought that His Majesty would discover him.
The most valuable thing is that he has a clean background and climbed up through his own abilities. "
After hearing this, Chongzhen's eyes were full of satisfaction.
Based on this, this Sun Yingyuan should be Sun Yingyuan, the general of the Yongwei Camp in history. It really took no effort to get him.
But now that Cao Bianjiao is in the warrior camp, Sun Yingyuan can only serve as the commander of Wu Xiang's right guard.
It is already a thousand households, and its rank is similar to that of Zhou Yuji and others before they became commanders. It is not outrageous to be given a commander.
But before that, Sun Chuanting and others had to go and investigate.
When the time came, he really wanted to see the expressions of Cheng Guogong and others.
"Big companion, go and inform the people from Sun Chuanting and ask them to investigate Sun Yingyuan and tell me the results of the investigation."
After making arrangements for Sun Yingyuan, Chongzhen looked at Li Ruolian again: "Do you have any other generals available here?"
"Your Majesty, a few people have been initially identified, and the Jin Yiwei is still investigating. Please give me some time!"
"Okay, go and do your work!"
"I resign!"
Li Ruolian bowed and left. At this moment, the sky was completely dark.
Chongzhen lay down on the soft couch and rubbed his swollen temples. He had never had a moment of leisure since morning.
When I relaxed now, I really didn’t want to move for a moment.
After resting for a while, I went to Kunning Palace to have dinner with the queen, and slept until the next morning, resurrected with full blood.
The emergence of granulated gunpowder gave Chongzhen a lot of confidence.
For two days in a row, apart from going to court and reviewing memorials, Chongzhen spent the rest of his time in Dongnuang Pavilion staring at the map and making secret calculations.
On this day, as soon as he finished approving a memorial, Wang Chengen came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Cao Wenzhao, Qin Gongmin, and Sun Zushou would like to see you!"
"pass!"
Chongzhen put down the memorial and just stood up when Cao Wenzhao, whom he had not seen for three months, brought a middle-aged man into Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Cao Wenzhao, has issued an edict to see you!"
"Your Majesty, Qin Gongmin, is here to see you!"
"Grassman Sun Zushou meets your Majesty!"
The three of them saluted at the same time, but they just called them different names.
"Everyone get up!"
After the two stood up, Chongzhen looked at Sun Zushou. As Hou Xi said, he was tall, tall and handsome.
Although Chongzhen couldn't read faces, from Sun Zushou's face alone, he was definitely a loyal, diligent and upright person.
"Sun Aiqing, I heard the commander of the Jinyi Guards tell me about your matter.
You are an upright and honest official with strict self-discipline and outstanding military exploits. However, you are dismissed from your post. It is the fault of the imperial court. You have been wronged! "
Without waiting for Sun Zushou's response, Chongzhen changed the subject: "Sun Aiqing, if you were given another chance, would you make the same choice?"
"meeting!"
Sun Zushou's face became solemn: "Your Majesty, the Ningjin defense line is mainly responsible for attracting and resisting the frontal attack of Houjin's main force. If Ningjin falls,
Then the entire Ming Dynasty's Liaodong defense line would be defeated, and countless soldiers would die in vain.
It is worth exchanging the glory and wealth of a common man for the stability of Ningjin's defense line.
As for being aggrieved, I can't even talk about it. Although I made a meritorious service in the rescue, I disobeyed the military order after all.
If you don't kill the minister, it's already the court showing mercy. This is a merit and a fault, which are two different things! "
"Sun Aiqing is indeed righteous!"
Sun Zushou's response was sincere, sonorous and powerful, and Chongzhen was very moved.
"Sun Aiqing, put your matters aside for now. I will rearrange your arrangements after you are done with your work for a while!"
"My dear companion, please give me a seat and some tea!"
After the three of them sat down, Chongzhen looked at Cao Wenzhao: "Cao Aiqing, how are things going?"
"Your Majesty, the Tengxiang Left Guards have all been broken into pieces and sneaked into Chengzi Mountain. Chengzi Mountain has more than 30 large and small peaks, and there are many caves scattered among them.
I have already dispersed all Teng Xiang's left guards on the mountain peaks and stationed them in caves, prohibiting them from going out.
The mountain is densely wooded, with stretches of virgin pine forest. There are all kinds of jackals, tigers, leopards, roe deer and wild deer in the mountain.
It is so inaccessible that even the local hunters only dare to wander around the periphery.
I asked the sergeant to kill several jackals, tigers and leopards, and faked the fact that the wild beasts came down the mountain to hurt people. Now the local people around Chengzi Mountain have changed their minds when talking about it. "
After listening to Cao Wenzhao's report, Chongzhen nodded, but looking at Cao Wenzhao's hesitant expression, he asked softly: "Cao Aiqing, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Cao Wenzhao stood up and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, it is summer now. Thunderstorms are abundant and humid. There are many mosquitoes, poisonous snakes in the mountains.
As of yesterday, at least 20 sergeants had been bitten by mosquitoes and venomous snakes. Fortunately, they were treated promptly and were not seriously injured.
It's okay for such a short time, but it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness for a long time! "
After hearing this, Chongzhen's face flashed with embarrassment. He had actually ignored this matter.
But I came back to Sun Zushou to let him solve this matter.
"Sun Aiqing, before you were dismissed, you commanded Xixie, were stationed in Zunhua, and were in charge of Shixi, Gubei, Caojia, and Qiangzi Roads. You are very familiar with the surrounding areas of Zunhua. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Sun Zushou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to go outside and get a map?"
Chongzhen nodded, and Sun Zushou left quickly. After just a few breaths, he returned to Dongnuan Pavilion and spread a map on the round table on the side.
"Your Majesty, after receiving the notice from Jin Yiwei, I immediately rushed to Zunhua to find Commander Cao.
Commander Cao told me about the situation. I have some ideas about what Commander Cao said! "
As he said that, he pointed to the location drawn on the map: "Your Majesty, these two places are the hiding places of Baigan soldiers and Tengxiang left guards. They are only fifty miles away from Zunhua and Jizhen.
It should be to guard against the troops garrisoned in Ji Town (Santun Camp) and Zunhua.
If this is the case, I think there are two places that are suitable. "
Then he pointed to three other places circled with cinnabar.
