Starting from the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Emperor Chongzhen could not even count how many times the Ming Dynasty was pinned to the ground and rubbed by the brutal Jianqi in the territory of Liaodong during the Battle of Sarhu that destroyed the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

Even during the Tianqi years, the Ningyuan victory that made Yuan Chonghuan famous, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, was a complete defeat, not a great victory!

Although Ningyuan City did not fall into the hands of Jianlu, Juehua Island, a strategic maritime location, allowed Jianlu to steal the tower and all the strategic materials stored in it were lost. The Ming Dynasty's navy in the Liaoxi Sea suffered heavy losses.

Liaodong, unknowingly, has become a copy for some people to gain fame and accumulate wealth, but the court pays real money every year!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhou Yanru said loudly, then walked forward quickly, bowed his hands and said: "If you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches. This is undoubtedly a very appropriate conclusion in my opinion.

I think that sending several elite divisions to the Shimen Town area in advance to intimidate the Jianlu who entered the pass will indeed strengthen the power of our great Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent, looking at Zhou Yanru who had expressed his stance in advance, with an imperceptible smile on his lips. No wonder Zhou Yanru had a prosperous official career, and his ability to figure out his superiors' intentions and express his attitude was indeed extraordinary.

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Xu Guangqi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought with different expressions.

On the one hand, they were shocked by what Emperor Chongzhen said: If you hit with one punch, you will avoid the deep meaning of a hundred punches.

On the other hand, he is thinking, if this is really going to be the case, how about sending those worthy troops and generals to the Shimen Town area under such a turbulent situation?

"Sun Qing, what do you think?"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know either. He looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Since we are discussing the general policy, let's speak freely. Don't have any scruples. You are more like Zhou Qing, who can speak out if you have different opinions."

You should encourage Zhou Yanru's flattery and not criticize him. After all, the current military aircraft department cannot be regarded as a military aircraft department that completely obeys his will. It still needs time to get used to and improve.

"Your Majesty, I think what you just said was very good!"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "This time we built a border with the Japanese and invaded the pass, it was a big blow to our Ming Dynasty.

This is the first time that the Jianlu invaders have entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty since they ravaged Liaodong. The more critical the situation is, the more we must express our position and attitude.

However, the key is which army to send over and which general to call over. If we really want to enter Shimen Town, my Ming Dynasty must be able to bite off a piece of flesh from Jianlu!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Xu Guangqi stepped forward and raised their hands in response.

"Then the attitudes of all the ministers and I are the same."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "I am already arranging the troops stationed in Shimen Town. We will discuss this matter in detail in a few days.

Next, we will discuss in detail how many reinforcements should be sent from Xuanda and other places, and which generals should be given the power to act expediently.

But how can we strengthen a few lines of defense at the main road to Shenjing to ensure that the invading Jianqi will not storm all the way from Zunhua and kill them under the rule of Shenjing?"

In the mind of Emperor Chongzhen, he had been prepared to fight for several months against the Jianlu invaders who invaded the Ming Dynasty, and through this battle, he wanted to achieve the purpose of rebuilding the defense of the capital.

Yuan Chonghuan must be captured, but not at this moment.

The Liao faction's generals and forces must be divided and dismantled.

Ji Miyong Sanxie needs to re-plan and deploy...

There were a lot of things that Emperor Chongzhen needed to do, so he had to be cautious and steady. If he couldn't fully control the capital by building a border with the Japanese, he might as well just lie down.

After all, the roots of the Ming Dynasty are rotten. The imperial power will not go to the countryside. It is not empty talk.

On the other hand, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia and others expressed that they could not keep up with Emperor Chongzhen's leaping thinking. Isn't this back to the starting point?

There are also soldiers and horses stationed in Shimen Town. The emperor has already selected them?

Is it the newly established Yongwei Camp?

Or are they the three so-called elite teams reorganized from the Beijing camp?

It’s hard to fathom the meaning!

While sighing with emotion, Li Banghua stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that what Sun Gong said earlier, increasing the troops in Sanhe is something that the court must do.

In addition, Jizhou also needs to send more troops and horses to garrison.

In this way, surrounding Sanhe and Jizhou, the imperial court could build three lines of defense: the front, middle and back lines to defend Shenjing along the lines of Pinggu, Panshan and Yutian, Miyun, Shunyi and Baodi, and Tongzhou and Xianghe."

"I second the proposal!"

Sun Chengzong raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in accordance with my opinion, you can order Hou Shilu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, to lead 10,000 elite troops to station in Sanhe and take charge of the temporary central defense line.

Changping Commander-in-Chief You Shiwei was ordered to lead an elite division of 10,000 to station in Tongzhou and take charge of the temporary rear defense line.

As for the important place in Jizhou, I have someone to recommend. However, this person is unruly in nature and likes to be arbitrary. Whether he is suitable for taking control of Jizhou in accordance with the current situation, your Majesty still needs to make a decision."

"What Sun Qing said was Man Gui, the chief military officer of Datong?"

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, looked at Sun Chengzong and said.

"Your Majesty, it is this person."

Sun Chengzong cupped his hands and said.

At this time, the military plane was in the main hall and fell into silence. It was clear to the people recommended by Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia and Li Banghua, that most of them were generals who had previously served in the Liao Dynasty.

In the Military Aircraft Department, except for Sun Chengzong who had the experience of going out to control Liaodong, Wang Qia and Li Banghua did not have such experience.

"I think this person can be used."

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "But in my heart, the person who will be in charge of Jizhou is not Mangui, but the Qing family."

boom!

Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru, and Xu Guangqi looked at Emperor Chongzhen with shock on their faces and fear in their hearts.

No one expected that the emperor was going to appoint Sun Chengzong to leave the capital and rush to Jizhou to be responsible for setting up a temporary advance defense line. This was really beyond everyone's expectation.

"I am willing to go!"

Sun Chengzong looked calm and answered with his hands raised.

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward, held Sun Chengzong's arms under the gaze of everyone, and said: "Sun Qing, I intend for you to take command of Jizhou and take charge of the temporary defense lines of the front, middle and back.

At the same time, the people recommended by the Qing family, Hou Shilu, can lead his troops into Sanhe, You Shiwei can lead his troops into Tongzhou, and Man Gui can lead his troops into Jizhou to assist the Qing family in taking charge of the three defense lines.

And before the Jianlu troops were revealed to invade Shenjing, in the name of the Minister of Military Aircraft Department, he reorganized the deployment of the front, middle and rear defense lines. During this period, if anyone disobeys military orders, he can be killed first and then reported!"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen said this, everyone present, including Sun Chengzong, was shocked. Under the current situation, the authority authorized by the emperor is not unimportant!

"I accept the decree!"

Sun Chengzong suppressed his surprise and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Emperor Chongzhen said hello three times and said with a smile on his face: "The Military Aircraft Department immediately drafted an edict based on what was just discussed and sent it out clearly.

Sun Qing is appointed as a special imperial envoy to take charge of the temporary defense of the front, middle and rear guards. He is given Shang Fangjian and the king's flag. He is allowed to act expeditiously. He is promoted to the rank of chief military officer. Anyone who disobeys military orders can be killed first and then reported!

At the same time, we sent manpower to Datong, Xuanfu, and Changping, and ordered Mangui, Hou Shilu, and You Shiwei to lead their elite troops to garrison!"

Wang Qia and the others were a little dumbfounded.

Is the authority granted by the emperor to Sun Chengzong a little too heavy? From the rank of chief military officer down, anyone who disobeys military orders can be executed first and then punished.
Chapter completed!
