963 Not Consummated

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew from the chat group, took out his previous design plan and started browsing and revising it again. He was busy until the evening when he was revising another draft. He threw it to the rotating eunuch. After copying a copy, he planned to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss it.

After finishing this, Emperor Chongzhen went to the chat group to check the information. Unexpectedly, he received several messages from Hai Lanzhu.

"Your Majesty, my brother chased Tong Yangxing. In the afternoon, he met the elite Jianlu, the one led by Haoge. My brother was defeated, with 1,500 cavalry, and only escaped back more than 300 cavalry. My brother...my brother was chased by Oboi and killed!"

"We have traces of Jianlu on the east, west and south. We are now running north."

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked to see it, but he did not expect that his previous vague worries would become a fact. The Korqin army was caught up, Wu Keshan was killed, and Hai Lanzhu led the remaining soldiers to flee.

He asked quickly, "Where are you now?"

Emperor Chongzhen's question was directly conveyed to Hai Lanzhu. It was already evening. Hai Lanzhu was lying on the horse's back, running wildly while answering anxiously: "I don't know, I've been fleeing north anyway. Only in this way can I escape from the siege of Jianlu."

This strategy should be correct. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and comforted him: "The Jianlu cannot pursue it for a long time. After breaking away from the Jianlu's pursuit, go around and tell me the route. I will send the cavalry to pick you up. In addition, I will also make the army on the Anshan Yibao more active and attract the attention of Jianlu."

After hearing this, Hai Lanzhu could only do this. It was a blessing that the children of the grassland were very capable of enduring such things. Each of them had great riding skills, but they just tried their best to escape. I believe that Jianlu would not be able to catch up. Now that he is escaping again, he has no chance to be sad.

One thing is that Emperor Chongzhen was quite strange. He thought that with the cavalry of Wu Keshan, how could he be caught up by Haoge's cavalry?

Forget it, I won’t think about this for now, the ending has been decided. Buhe is afraid he has to comfort him. He is probably about to arrive in Ningjin now, and Sun Chengzong has to notify him. Hai Lanzhu has to pay more attention.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about these things and started to get busy again.

The next day, in Wenhua Hall, ministers who were ordered to gather together, including all the eunuchs of the Sili Supervisor, the assistant ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, the chief clerks, and even the governor's office of the Five Army. This big formation surprised them particularly. Except for the chief minister Wen Tiren and the eunuchs of the Sili Supervisor Cao Huachun, the eunuchs of the Sili Supervisor, they had no idea what the emperor was going to discuss, and they couldn't help but turn around and whisper.

This kind of court discussion that is not under control makes many ministers a little uncomfortable. In addition to the founding Taizu and Chengzu, generally speaking, the emperors in the deep palace rely on the ministers to obtain information, and then make a decision without processing. The ministers also know what meetings they hold, etc.

What they didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen also came from the deep palace and did not have much experience. In the first two years, there was no surprise. The ministers below were very clear about what they had to do, how to deal with it, etc. Moreover, the handling of court affairs was often the emperor's decision on the surface, but the real result was actually between court officials, whether they were fighting, discussing, or compromising, etc., to guide the emperor to make the decision they wanted.

But since Jianlu invaded the capital, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have changed his body, with the style of Emperor Gaozu and Chengzu. The court affairs were no longer in the hands of the ministers, but reflected the emperor's will. It may be difficult for foreign ministers to feel the difference, but the senior officials in the center have a deep feeling.

They were thinking, and with the shouting "The Emperor is here", the Wenhua Palace suddenly became quiet, and all the ministers welcomed the emperor together.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne. After the ministers finished their greetings, he smiled and announced the good news first: "In the Liaodong side, he had just captured Anshan Post Fortress and attacked Liaoyang. He mobilized the Jianlu torture the country's troops for a while and had to be exhausted. I believe that even a tiger this year, even if it was a tiger, it would be just a tiger that was hungry and dying. In the Liaodong side, the Jianlu would not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty at least in the short term!"

Only a few of the ministers below knew about this news. Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, many ministers felt a little incredible. Jianlu, who had tried his best to deal with the Ming army, had suffered another major setback without disturbing the court?

Suddenly, they suddenly discovered that since the Jianlu invaded the capital, the Jianlu problem in Liaodong seemed to be no longer a matter that the court had to wait and do its best to solve. Unconsciously, they fought one victory after another. The situation in Liaodong was getting better and better day by day, and no longer dragged down the pass and other parts of the Ming Dynasty like before.

They thought so, and under the leadership of Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun, they congratulated the emperor together.

However, Emperor Chongzhen changed his subjects, and at the same time, he said to the ministers below: "The garrison army that was founded by the Ming Dynasty was no longer worthy of use. As early as the Jiajing period, the combat-capable army was obtained from recruiting troops. What do you think of the garrison army in the Ming Dynasty?"

The destruction of the Wei army is famous. In the past, when the Japanese pirates caused trouble during the Jiajing period, only dozens or hundreds of people could attack the city of Nanjing, but the Wei army could not do anything. This shows that these ministers in the Wenhua Hall could not deny this.

In fact, the bad military forces the court to start a recruitment system during the Zhengtong period. This recruitment system is called the camp sentry system.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, everything was in trouble, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty still cannot be ignored. Therefore, Taizu created this ward system, so that the army could be self-sufficient, reduce the burden on the people's supply of military demand, and maintain sufficient military protection." Emperor Chongzhen obviously did his homework in advance, so he talked freely in the Wenhua Hall, "However, military soldiers were the norm for farming, and would inevitably be insufficient training and low combat effectiveness. After the country was peaceful, this situation became more and more serious. Although the ward army is now mainly responsible for garrisoning, public security, training new recruits and farming, this is no longer the norm for the army! I think..."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he majesticly glanced at the ministers below, and then said seriously: "The military system of the garrison is time to change!"

Thanks to Feng Angju for his reward! This is the recommendation ticket that I owe last week. I don’t owe any updates.
Chapter completed!
