A war report from outside the pass made the court feel turbulent again.

Many people had no idea about Sun Chuanting before, because Zhu Youxiao Gan Gang insisted on appointing him as the supervisor, which allowed him to successfully leave the pass.

Although it was found out later that Wang Bao, the general of Jizhou, was actually absolved of the fact, but this still made some people dissatisfied.

As news that the army in Guihua City had not yet survived for three days, the civil and military officials in the court were making a lot of comments, especially the Ministry of Revenue, which complained three times a day.

The current Ministry of Revenue is headed by Cui Chengxiu, the former Minister of War.

Cui Chengxiu was a civil servant and did not know any military affairs. However, he had been in the position of Minister of War for three years. He had just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and thought he had reached a purity, but he didn't want to have another incident, which made him dazzled.

This is the fourth day when Sun Chuanting held his troops unmoved. Zhu Youxiao looked at the second memorial submitted by the Ministry of Revenue today, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Because he is familiar with history, Sun Chuanting must have trusted him.

But the problem is that fighting is too expensive. The Ministry of Revenue repeatedly complained to it, hoping that it could issue an imperial edict to urge Sun Chuanting to advance, which was indeed a furious thing.

Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that Sun Chuanting must have his own understanding of the war, and if he remained silent, he would definitely be in a dilemma.

At this moment, on the imperial case, on the left side were the requests for help from the left wing divisions, and on the right side was the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of War made considerations for war logistics and wanted to urge Sun Chuanting to march as soon as possible.

This was the case with Sarhu back then. The remote command of the imperial court made the front-line generals even more difficult. They had to give up their superior forces and choose to attack from multiple routes to encircle and annihilate Hetuara in order to achieve their contributions in one battle.

At that time, even the generals on the front line despised the Jurchens led by Nurhaci, and Du Song's greed for merit and made reckless progress was also one of the reasons.

In any case, the cabinet and the Ministry of War must take the blame for the failure of the Battle of Sarhu.

Now the same problem is in front of Zhu Youxiao, and the civil officials all hope to urge Sun Chuanting to march and end the northern expedition as quickly as possible.

However, for Zhu Youxiao, doing this really makes the back of his spine cold.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen urged Sun Chuanting, and the latter's defeat in the Cang Promotion Army was vividly remembered.

After all, although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has been alleviated over the years, there are also more places to use money.

Before the new salt law is fully implemented and achieved results, it will still have to bear huge military expenditures, which really makes the finances a little stretched.

Zhu Youxiao also understood that the most taboo thing for generals to be disturbed by non-war factors in command of operations.

Based on the Battle of Sarhu alone, if the Cabinet and the Ministry of War did not urge it, but asked Yang Hao to conduct detailed investigations and make plans step by step, Nurhaci might still be eating wild vegetables in Changbai Mountain now.

The urging of the cabinet and the Ministry of War is not without his reason, because the finances at that time were more sad than they are now, and because it was winter, logistics transportation could not be achieved at all.

The ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were the most familiar with the financial burden caused by the war and the military preparations in various places.

For them, the current situation of war really does not allow them to drink tea and chat slowly. They urgently need the emperor's order to urge Sun Chuanting to march.

Zhu Youxiao thought that even if he could delay for one day, he would not have planned to intervene in Sun Chuanting's battle, and now he would not change his original ideas.

After Cui Chengxiu was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Qia, the left minister of the Ministry of War, naturally became the candidate for the next Minister of War.

When I came outside the Daming Gate, I happened to meet Li Banghua, the left censor of the Censorate, and walked out with several ministers from the Ministry of Revenue. I bowed and asked:

"Mr. Li, what does Your Majesty say?"

Li Banghua sighed.

"well!"

"Lindan Batuer raised his troops to attack the left wing sideways, and the left wing could not resist it! Sun Chuanting was still holding the troops in Guihua City. What was he thinking?"

"This is the Tangbao that came today. The Abaga tribe, one of the strong left-wing troops, has been disbanded by Chahar. If you don't rescue it, it will probably be too late!"

Unable to wait to finish the last word, Li Banghua pulled Wang Qia, and some ministers from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Censorate stumbled all the way north and staggered outside Chengtian Gate.

There are two pavilions with vermilion tops outside Chengtian Gate, one with a high drum on the west side and the other with a golden bell hanging on the east side.

Li Banghua and Wang Qia led their ministers out of Chengtian Gate, and one group went west and another group went east under the surprised gaze of the generals of Yongwei Camp.

The former picked up the bell and pestle as thick as a bowl and rang the golden bell with all his strength.

Seeing this, the latter also worked with all the ministers to grab the drumsticks that were thick into the child's arms, and rounded the arms and smashed them hard towards the high drum.

In an instant, the sound of bells and drums that were deafening and awakened buzzed over the Forbidden City.

The bells and drums are ringing! This is not an ordinary matter!

The civil and military officials of the court who were sitting in the court rooms of each department raised their heads when they heard the sound. They were shocked and had no time to say more. The officials of each department also sorted out their clothes and gathered towards the Qianqing Palace.

The officials are like gurgling tributaries, the sea accommodates all rivers and returns to one place.

Zhu Youxiao shook his hand, as if he was about to throw his worries out of his thoughts, picked up the chess record and set up a chess game on his own. He made plans to delay the officials for Sun Chuanting in his heart, and suddenly heard the sound of bells and drums outside Chengtian Gate.

For a moment, Zhu Youxiao had a bad premonition, looked down at the chess game, and said to the side:

"I have not summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, and the court meeting is not here today. Why are the bells and drums in the imperial city? Go out and ask, what happened?"

Not long after, the eunuch rushed back like an enclave and said:

"Your Majesty, the Censor of the Left Capital and the Office of the Ministry of War were beating the drums and bells outside Chengtian Gate!"

Zhu Youxiao had just dealt with Li Banghua and the Ministry of Revenue, the ministers of the Censorate, thought they could get away with it today, but unexpectedly, they went out to make a big noise.

"Nothing!"

"They are both my humble ministers, and they can only imitate the behavior of those naughty scholars. Then hitting the drum and hitting the bell is a joke!"

"You go out and tell them that this time I just pretend that it has not happened and ask them to go back and handle government affairs well!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and went to see a famous chess game in the chess record.

In this game, the veteran can be said to have the advantage. Not only are there three more pawns than the opponent, but the position of the chariot, horses and cannons is also very good.

Two cars occupy the middle road, one seals the general's door, two horses and one sees the Ninth Palace, one waits for a slumber, two cannons and one sinks the bottom line, and one aims at the dull palace. As long as you push forward and a step forward, the other party will have no choice.

But why can the opponent turn defeat into victory?

When Zhu Youxiao was free in the palace, he often studied chess skills with others.

There are many master-level chess players in the palace and court. Although Zhu Youxiao is having fun, over time, his chess skills are naturally not comparable to mediocre people.

For veterans, winning is simply a handful. What Zhu Youxiao needs to see now is why the opponent can turn defeat into victory and fight for a bloody path.

Could it be that there is still the best way to do this that you have not studied thoroughly?

Zhu Youxiao was thinking carefully, but the sound of bells and drums outside Chengtian Gate did not intend to let Zhu Youxiao "free" on, one after another.

Even though he had a gentle temper on weekdays, Zhu Youxiao couldn't resist the buzzing sound of bells and drums outside. He was a little anxious and turned around and shouted:

"Why are you still knocking?"
