"You mean we have to fight to get this reward, right?" Amin did not argue with Jirgalang, but instead smiled and said such heart-wrenching words, intending to provoke Dai Shan's sensitive nerves.

"If Er Beile wants to use the trick of borrowing troops to complete the Khan's mission, I also want to get a banner leader." Jiergalang faced tit-for-tat, not caring about what the two of them thought. Jiergalang's performance made the two old foxes a little confused. Could it be that Huang Taiji was really just to retaliate against this Ming army? The Later Jin army looked very glorious, but in fact there were many problems. The Ming army had 20,000 people settled in Shunyi, and the Later Jin army could not be as stagnant as before, and had to leave a considerable number to protect the retreat.

Because the Ming army in the capital area had more than 200,000, and once the Later Jin army was restrained, it might be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army at any time. This is also the reason why Huang Taiji could not send out the entire army to attack Shunyi. Daishan and Amin did not expect that Huang Taiji would be so willing to do so in order to plot against them and used the Zhenglan Banner as bait to lure them into being deceived.

When the two heard that Jirgalang wanted to get a share of the pie, of course they could not agree. Jirgalang was one of the eight major Heshuo Beile and had ten Niulus in his hands. Although they were not as good as Amin's thirty-three Niulus, they had Huang Taiji's support behind him. If they really wanted to compete for the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Jirgalang had a great advantage. Seeing that Jirgalang had a sudden attack, Dai Shan quickly stood up to smooth things over and took on the task of attacking Shunyi and annihilated the Ming army.

"Hahaha, Dai Shan, the old fox, has a day of miscalculation. I see where you are going this time!" Hearing Jiergalang's return, Huang Taiji was in great spirits. The next day, the military convened to announce the order of Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Blue Banner to join forces to attack Shunyi, and held an oath. Whoever got the head of the Ming army would reward him with the Zhenglan Banner.

Ajige was also a Heshuo Beile. He was very interested in becoming the leader of the banner and proposed to participate in this competition. Huang Taiji neither supported nor opposed it, so that Daishan and Amin fought with Ajige. In the end, Ajige was squeezed out of the competition due to insufficient troops. After this military discussion, Daishan and Amin both felt relieved and believed that Huang Taiji had blinded his eyes by hatred and made such an irrational decision.

In the internal struggle of the Later Jin Dynasty, our Ming court of the Ming Dynasty could not allow the barbarians to be more beautiful than before. When Fang Zhenghua returned to the capital, the court was having a big debate on Zhou Shixiong's suggestion. A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen sent Sun Chengzong, Cao Huachun on behalf of him to welcome the Shenshu Camp, and gave the highest standards of courtesy for the soldiers who died in battle. This incident made the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet unable to sit still, but they could not recover what had happened, so they targeted Zhou Shixiong's suggestions and other suggestions. They were ready to work together to block this suggestion, and they must not let the warriors look up.

The civil and nobles were not the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, at least not at the beginning. The two emperors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di strongly supported the military officials because they needed the military officials to lead troops to fight against the Yuan Meng. After the Tumu Fort Incident, most of the military officials died in this battle. The military officials collapsed and the power they lost was divided by the civil officials and eunuchs Jinyiwei. This was also the main power-making organization of the court in most of the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, the eunuchs' power has plummeted due to Wei Zhongxian's relationship, and the Jinyiwei was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian and almost entered underground activities. It was a good time for civil officials to unify the country. How could they allow warriors to rise again? The auxiliary ministers submitted memorials to remind Emperor Chongzhen that from the Three Kingdoms to the usurpation of the throne of Huan Wen, to the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, they listed a series of historical deeds of the military rule, emphasizing the dangers of the military rule, and hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would not be confused by the treacherous ministers and relaxed his vigilance against the military rule.

The treacherous minister Zhou Shixiong kept using Jiannu's head to confuse Emperor Chongzhen. His actions were hateful and his heart was punishable, which made many great writers of the Ming Dynasty unable to write and attack him, so he could only make indirect attacks and was very unhappy.

Emperor Chongzhen was also very unhappy. After all, he was less than 20 years old and had only been two years since he ascended the throne. He was still a passionate young man who was easily impulsive. Otherwise, he would not have been fooled by Yuan Chonghuan's words of pacifying Liao in the fifth year and supported him with great fanfare. Now he trusted Zhou Shixiong the most, because Zhou Shixiong could bring him hope to defeat Jiannu. It was impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to be completely worried that Zhou Shixiong would be respectful at all, but who else could Emperor Chongzhen choose when no one was available?

The voices in the court were not only the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, but they could not make a sound if there was only one voice. The nobles led by the British Duke Zhang Weixian stood on Zhou Shixiong's side, and their memorials were like writing history. They specifically asked famous generals in history, especially famous generals known for loyalty and righteousness to talk about things. By the way, they mentioned the treacherous ministers of various dynasties recognized by the world, and explained to Emperor Chongzhen the universal value of loyal ministers among military officials and literati.

Seeing Fang Zhenghua come back, Emperor Chongzhen finally found a person who knew Zhou Shixiong. In the imperial study, Emperor Chongzhen Chengen and Fang Zhenghua had a secret talk.

"Little Huazi, you have been in contact with Zhou Aiqing for the longest time. In your opinion, what is Zhou Aiqing's nature?" In fact, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask Fang Zhenghua whether Zhou Shixiong was a rebellious boy, and whether he would rebel with military power.

"Long live back, Master Zhou is straightforward and does not like to turn around. He is an official, does not bully his subordinates, does not bully the people, and is also lazy. He refuses to go out for five days in ten days, so he sits at home for experiments." Fang Zhenghua knew that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to hear these things, but he dared not say anything. Before he came to see the emperor, Wang Chengen, his godfather, reminded him that he did not need you to praise Zhou Shixiong, and he did not need you to defame Zhou Shixiong.

Emperor Chongzhen was not good enough to say what he wanted to know, so he gave Wang Chengen a wink and asked him to ask. Wang Chengen smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Fang, I heard that Lord Zhou of Xianghe robbed Man Gui's military power. Is this the case?"

"This is indeed the case." Fang Zhenghua did not intend to conceal it. The parties involved were all alive, and he had no effect on lying.

"It was his idea to draw the elite cavalry camp to form the Supervisor camp?" "Yes."

"It was also his decision to promote his personal soldiers to serve as the cavalry chief? " "Yes."

"Will no one give him any advice if he didn't ask the emperor to order the troops to go to war?" "Yes."

"Xiao Fang, do you think Lord Zhou will be respectful to Li Chengliang?" "No." "How can you tell me?" "When Lord Zhou was in Xiangzhou, he ordered his men to deal with all the matters of sending troops to fight against thieves. In fact, he was very afraid of death." Speaking of this, Fang Zhenghua smiled. Zhou Shixiong himself had high martial arts skills but never refused to charge. According to Fang Zhenghua's understanding, Zhou Shixiong was very afraid of death.

"Oh? Zhou Aiqing is afraid of death?" Emperor Chongzhen came over very gossipedly, and he wanted to hear gossip news about this.

"When Lord Zhou returned to Guangxi, I was always by his side. I had seen Lord Zhou teach his disciples. From the perspective of my servant, Lord Zhou had very high martial arts."

"Wu Yi Gaohe doesn't like leading troops to fight, can't he be afraid of death, right?"

"I was found in Xianghe. In the battle of Xianghe, Lord Zhou used all his skills to avoid confronting Jiannu. At first, it was normal for us to have few soldiers and weak forces to use tricks. Later, Jiannu fought to break through the siege, Lord Zhou still refused to confront him head-on until it was confirmed that Jiannu had no power to fight back." Emperor Chongzhen did not agree with Fang Zhenghua's evidence and refuted, "This is the highest military strategy, and it has nothing to do with fear of death."

"I guessed it all, and it's not surprising that I guessed it wrong." Fang Zhenghua directly admitted that there was no evidence, and Emperor Chongzhen no longer bothered about this matter. Only then did Fang Zhenghua have the opportunity to tell Zhou Shixiong's plan to attack Sanhe to rescue the people. After listening to Fang Zhenghua's report, Emperor Chongzhen wrote a special order with a stroke of his pen, asking the Ministry of War to cooperate fully to meet all Zhou Shixiong's requirements.

When Fang Zhenghua left with the imperial edict, Emperor Chongzhen said quietly, "Those rebel generals are forced to do so." Emperor Chongzhen, who had only a slight understanding of military affairs, understood that Zhou Shixiong's plan was extremely risky, and if he was not careful, he would die without a place to die. Such a loyal and brave minister would still be suspicious of himself. Think about it from another perspective, what would he react if he was Zhou Shixiong!

"Long live, I don't read much. I only know that when there are many famous generals, there will always be a saint ruler in the dynasty. Now, there are famous generals such as Lord Sun and Lord Zhou, which shows that Long live, there are also the saints." Wang Chengen flattered hard, but there are fewer famous generals under this saint, which is incomparable to Yun.

"Great companion, I will pass on my will and order the deacon camp to set off to Zhou Aiqing's tent immediately to obey the orders. After the Shenshu camp replenishes the troops, go back. The capital has enough troops, not less than these thousands of them." Emperor Chongzhen has such a personality. He wants to give you all the good things, and he wants to kill your whole family if he doesn't like you. He is a person with a temperament!

As soon as Xue Bao led the deacon camp to Shunyi, he saw the cavalry camp in a mess. After entering the tent, he realized that Jiannu was coming. Zhou Shixiong knew the news half an hour earlier than Xue Bao. Yu Jiaao led the guards around Jiannu camp, responsible for inquiring about Jiannu's information. They saw more than 10,000 Jiannu's army heading towards Shunyi and came back to report the news.

"The specific situation is not clear. I only know that Jiannu has at least 10,000 people and twenty cannons." Zhou Shixiong guessed that these cannons were probably seized from Juehua Island. It seems that the thin city gate and wall of Shunyi cannot help much.

"Black General, Xue Ying, I ordered you to stand by outside the city. If Jiannu attacked Shunyi forcibly, I hope you can destroy their cannons." Zhou Shixiong could not see the Qingming ammunition weapon, but he could not let Jiannu have such a powerful weapon for siege. Fortunately, the cannons were inconvenient to move, so sneak attacks with cavalry should be easily solved, provided that they were not entangled by Jiannu's cavalry.

"Governor Sun and General You, organized soldiers to strengthen the city defense and tried to drag Jiannu under Shunyi City." Although the city wall was a bit thin, Zhou Shixiong believed that there was a way to protect the mausoleum who was good at building houses. The whole city was full of empty houses, so you could just demolish the house if you need any building materials. It would be enough to build another Shunyi City.

"General Man, Shunyi will be handed over to you. This governor does not require you to defeat Jiannu. You only need to delay Jiannu for ten days. Can you do it?" Zhou Shixiong arranged everyone's tasks and finally gave Man Gui an order. He seemed to be running away from his tone?
