Chapter 493: Bing Fa Tieling
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, Sun Chengzong had a serious look on his face, and what he was holding in his hand was the eight-hundred-mile emergency report that had just been delivered. However, it was not delivered to him, but to Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Liaodong Supervisory Army.
Obviously this is another secret order from Emperor Tianqi.
Glancing at Chen Hong who was sitting next to him, Sun Chengzong did not read the superstition but put it aside and said with a smile: "Eunuch Chen, do you know what is written in this letter?"
Slightly startled, Chen Hong did not expect Sun Chengzong to ask such a question, and quickly waved his hand and said: "My lord, I have already said that our family is just His Majesty's slaves, how can we possibly know what is written in it? What's more, eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics.
This is the ancestral precept of Emperor Taizu, how dare you violate it!"
Looking at Chen Hong with admiration, Sun Chengzong said with emotion: "My father-in-law is as humble as the ancients!"
Although they said so, in fact, Sun Chengzong and Chen Hong did not take it to heart. They both knew that eunuchs were not allowed to participate in politics. But did the Ming Dynasty really do it in the past two hundred years? Which one of Liu Jin and Wang Zhen did not bring disaster to temporary power?
Castrated?
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. How can an imperfect member of our family deserve such praise? Our family just came here to tell you that this letter was sent by Dongchang. It was not opened by anyone in the process, except for the emperor and your Excellency.
, no one knows what is written in it!" Chen Hong's face was very serious. Emperor Tianqi rarely did anything without hiding it from Dongchang and the eunuchs. Now that he does it, it must be a top priority.
Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong naturally knew the weight of this secret letter, and I am afraid that Emperor Tianqi's plan for this battle is contained in it. Picking up the letter again, Sun Chengzong smiled and said to Chen Hong: "Eunuch Chen, I'm rude!
"
"Excuse me, sir!" Chen Hong naturally didn't say anything. With a calm smile on his face, he gently picked up the teacup on one side. Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and it is not easy to drink tea.
If you want to drink the best tea, you can only come to Sun Chengzong, whose tea was all sent by Emperor Tianqi.
Without looking at Chen Hong, he slowly tore open the letter and took out a few pieces of letter paper. Sun Chengzong lowered his head and slowly read it. When he saw the handwriting on the letter paper, Sun Chengzong was very moved and did not move at all.
His eyes were also a little red due to his expression.
The handwriting on the paper is not in any good style, it is crooked and a bit ugly. In the eyes of a man like Sun Chengzong who has read poetry and books, such handwriting is not even considered to be popular. It can only be said that it was written by a young boy.
However, when he saw such handwriting, Sun Chengzong suddenly felt as if he was in another world. What appeared in front of him was the young man who asked him for advice, the young man who talked about his ambitions.
Emperor Tianqi's autographed letter. Sun Chengzong knew that the people in the Ming Dynasty who could get this letter could be counted on one hand. After collecting his mind, Sun Chengzong read the content of the letter. The content was very simple, Emperor Tianqi
It expressed two levels of meaning. The first level was that he hoped that Sun Chengzong would send people to support Zunhua, and the number of people would not be too large. The second level of meaning was also very simple, and he hoped that Sun Chengzong could achieve some results.
Gently putting down the letter in his hand, Sun Chengzong's face was unusually solemn. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Chen Hong: "Eunuch Chen, I have read the emperor's secret decree, and now I have made plans. Everything below is considered a challenge."
General Guju. I wonder if Eunuch Chen would like to see His Majesty’s secret edict? Or is there anything you want to say?”
Smiling at Sun Chengzong, Chen Hong quickly waved his hands and said: "You are kidding me, we are slaves, and the emperor's orders are imperial edicts. Since the emperor didn't let our family see it, then we can't see it. As for
Let’s beat the drum and gather the generals. Your Excellency, you don’t need to ask our family. The emperor has explained that your Excellency will be solely responsible for the battle. We won’t say a word to you!"
Slowly standing up and clasping his fists at Chen Hong, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "My father-in-law is very righteous, so I will beat the drum and gather the generals, father-in-law, please!" He made a gesture of invitation.
Following Sun Chengzong, Chen Hong stood up, and Chen Hong did not dare to show any signs of neglect. A battle was about to begin! This battle was absolutely crucial, and Chen Hong saw it very clearly. Although the court was photographed because of the prestige of Emperor Tianqi, it is now quite
The criticism is that Emperor Tianqi needs a big victory, and the Ming Dynasty needs a big victory!
Just as Sun Chengzong walked out of the house, the captain outside quickly reported: "Sir, Master Xiong, General Lu and others have already arrived in the living room!"
After hearing the captain's report, Sun Chengzong turned around and smiled at Chen Hong: "You make me laugh, you don't understand the rules!"
"They are all people who have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. It is the right thing to want to fight. It is much better than being cowardly and afraid of fighting!" Chen Hong smiled and waved his hand, and said quickly.
Glancing at the captain of the Jin Yiwei, Sun Chengzong's face suddenly became serious, and he loudly ordered: "If I don't go to see them, I will order you to go down and beat the prize drum!"
"Yes, sir!" The captain's face became serious. On weekdays, there is no need to beat the drum for gathering generals, but now that the drum for gathering rewards is sounded, it means there is going to be a war!
The sound of drums resounded throughout the Governor's Mansion, followed by the sound of horns outside, and countless generals quickly gathered here. Everyone's face was filled with joy. They had been waiting here for several days, and finally the day had come.
The generals walked in one after another. As Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi entered, the hall suddenly became silent. Although everyone was excited, it did not mean that they had no brains. The minimum to be able to come here is the deputy commander-in-chief. The rest of the people are not.
Eligible to participate.
"The commander-in-chief has arrived!" With a shout, Sun Chengzong appeared in the hall in military uniform, with a blood-red cloak behind him and a sword hanging from his waist. Three strands of long beard were floating on his chest, showing the demeanor of a Confucian general.
"See you, Commander-in-Chief!" Everyone hurriedly greeted Sun Chengzong. Everyone knelt down and bowed, including Xiong Tingbi who didn't have to kneel before him.
Slowly walked to the front of the seat and sat down gently. Sun Chengzong said with a serious face: "Everyone, please get up!"
Everyone got up and got ready. Sun Chengzong walked down from his seat, stood at the front, and said loudly: "Please order the flag and the sword!"
With Sun Chengzong's shout, the Wang Ming flag was erected, and a member of the Jin Yiwei family walked out with Shang Fang's sword in his arms. Under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, everyone saluted the Wang Ming flag and Shang Fang's sword. Waiting until
After everything was done, Sun Chengzong returned to his chair, and everyone also sat down.
His eyes swept over everyone's faces. Sun Chengzong's eyes were full of scrutiny, and he finally said loudly: "Everyone, I won't say anything more. Everyone knows the situation. Now that the emperor's decree has arrived, I will
I hope you all can work together and succeed in this battle."
"I obey Jun's orders!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the roof seemed to be shaking.
Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong continued: "Jiannu has entered the Great Wall, and the emperor ordered the governor to send people to support Zunhua City. Several cavalry commanders, who of you is willing to lead your troops to support Zunhua?"
As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, a young man below suddenly stood up. It was Sun Chengzong's apprentice Lu Xiangsheng. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a suit of armor, with a steel knife hanging on his waist instead of a sword, and he walked out with a determined look on his face.
, said: "Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to lead my troops to the rescue of Zunhua City."
"Commander! I am willing to lead my troops to rescue Zunhua City!" The second person to stand up was Cao Wenzhao, his tone was unusually serious and firm.
Then two other people also stood up. Neither of them were fools. The main force of establishing slaves was in Zunhua. If you want to have a good fight, you can only go to Zunhua. His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction.
, this kind of enthusiasm is already quite rare.
When he saw Lu Xiangsheng's pleading eyes, Sun Chengzong felt quite complicated, but this emotion was suppressed in an instant. He reached out to pick up the token, and Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao comes forward to receive the order!"
The two people took a step forward at the same time and replied loudly: "The end is here!"
"I order you two to lead your troops to support Zunhua City. When you get there, you must obey the orders of the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, Mr. Sun!" After saying this, Sun Chengzong handed the token in his hand to the ordering soldier, who gave it to two more people.
When the two people received the token, Sun Chengzong continued: "Go!"
"I resign from my post!" The two men packed their bags at the same time, turned around and walked outside. Also leaving at the same time were Lu Xiangsheng's deputy He Shixian and Cao Wenzhao's deputy Zhao Lejiao.
After the four people left, Sun Chengzong glanced at the middle man's face, stood up slowly, and said loudly: "Go back and get ready. Early tomorrow morning, the entire army will march to the iron mountain!"
Everyone present was stunned. No one expected that Sun Chengzong would make such a decision. You must know that since the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Army has never taken the initiative to attack. Everyone looked at each other, and many people felt dissatisfied.
Don’t worry, will this time become the second Sal Hu again?
However, this is not a place for military discussions. Everyone can only obey orders. Everyone stood up, bowed respectfully to Sun Chengzong, and said, "Yes!"
"Go back and get ready! If anyone disobeys orders or violates military laws, he will be severely punished!" Sun Chengzong looked stern and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Soon there was no one in the lobby. Everyone left, except for one person. This person was Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi. He was looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, but the worry on his brows did not escape him at all.
Sun Chengzong's eyes.
"Fei Bai, do you have anything to say?" Sun Chengzong looked at Xiong Tingbi, stood up slowly, and asked with a smile.
"Sir, is it too early to send troops to regain Tieling now? We are not ready. Is it too hasty to send troops like this?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Chengzong and said with a hint of inquiry.
Waving his hand, Sun Chengzong pondered for a moment and said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the back to talk!"
