The Zhu family was so generous that they not only gave the existing land outside the pass to the Wu family, but even as long as the Wu family recovered Guangning, there was a legal basis and could take its land for granted. As for Guangning, they had to destroy Jiannu first. I think Wu Sangui would not have to bite this bone. Li Zicheng wanted to increase his efforts to poach the land, so he could only give the land within the pass. In fact, Shanhaiguan had been occupied by Wu Sangui, so it was impossible for him to withdraw.

Only then did Li Zicheng understand the meaning of "the thorn is on the back".

"Your Majesty." Gu Junen saw that Li Zicheng was hesitant and said, "Wu Sangui will definitely be an enemy of me. Because the bitter and cold land outside the pass suffered a severe drought, there was no grain harvest. Before, there was Liao pay, and the true nature of the people could still be maintained. Now that Zhu Ming is destroyed and the new policy of promoting the dynasty is naturally impossible to give him food and money. In the opinion of his ministers, Wu Sangui must enter the pass and occupy land and plunder the people."

Li Zicheng heard Gu Junen's words, but remembered Niu Jinxing's advice to him under the city, "If the grass is cut off and the roots are not eradicated, the spring breeze will grow again", and it was difficult for a moment to make a decision. He asked Tian Jianxiu and said, "If it is not suitable for the southern expedition, what about the imperial expedition in the east?"

Tian Jianxiu pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a confidant trouble to the east, and it must be eliminated. I ask Your Majesty to issue a proclamation to persuade Wu Sangui first. If it fails, then send the king's army to recover Shanhaiguan and block the enemy's closing gate. Dong Xueli can lead the troops from the headquarters to the south, and the situation where Zhu's family is surviving and may be issued an edict."

Li Zicheng finally heard a two-way idea and applauded: "It's so good, so I'll order Dong Xueli to go south! By the way, Liu Fangliang told him that the overall situation was decided and that he would not be able to massacre the city after he conquered Baoding! Now the world and all people are in a great way!"

Tian Jianxiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, who will be sent to collect the three guards of Tianjin?"

"You can go for a trip in person." Li Zichen pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid Prince Zhu has escaped."

Li Zicheng was not wrong this time. Not only did Prince Zhu board the ship and go to sea. The old peasants, craftsmen, boatmen, sailors, and even the accumulated ship materials, bows and arrows and other important military information have also been transported on board and shipped to Denglai one by one.

The livestock brought from Beijing and the good horses of Nanhaizi were also boarded at Tianjin Port. Since the Wanli Dynasty, Tianjin has been a major war preparation center. It is almost a large arsenal. Its shipbuilding ability is second only to Guangdong, and it can build various types of ships. The stored ship materials and skilled ship workers and sailors are rare treasures.

Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Laizhou a few days earlier than Zhu Cilang. He knew that his son was in the capital to deal with the aftermath, and only felt that his master and father was useless. He hoped that Zhu Cilang could defend Beijing, become the emperor, and he could go with the flow and be the emperor, but he was afraid that the prince would do such a thing. This contradictory mentality always tortures Chongzhen, causing him toss and turns and not to fall asleep.

Until Zhu Cilang returned to Laizhou.

"His Majesty, Father." Zhu Cixuan felt a little happy when he saw Chongzhen meeting him in the main hall of Laizhou Prefecture.

Chongzhen's face was stern: "You still have my father in your eyes!"

"Father, I'm in a hurry to follow the power..." Zhu Cilang thought Chongzhen blamed him for ruining the emperor's reputation. He was about to explain, but Chongzhen shouted: "What's wrong with King Guangning!"

"Oh, just leave it in Wu Sangui's hands first." Zhu Cilang was not impressed by the emperor's pressure: "If you only grant him a title of Marquis, both Li thieves and Donglu can offer a higher price. Wu Sangui is not a loyal minister and a martyr, and cannot withstand such temptation."

"Give him the title of prince. Will he hold on to the death!"

"If he doesn't even want his own things and is determined to surrender, then no one can do anything about it." Zhu Cilang spread his hands: "But I believe that with Wu Sangui's ambition, he may not be satisfied with the king's lord. In this way, he will have a battle with Li Zicheng, and our army will gather lessons in Shandong to plan to restore."

"Our army? Only the three thousand soldiers in your hands?" Chongzhen said in confusion.

"In other words, the Guanning Army is only three thousand troops who can fight." Zhu Cixuan said.

"Ha, you're a boy's opinion!" Chongzhen laughed furiously: "Guanning has 30,000 troops. There are only 3,000 people who can fight! That is Wu Xiang's adopted son. Wu Sangui's brother is very kind, so he can die! Can your guard camp be so capable of fighting?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said to the outsider: "I ordered Xiao Mo to present Li Zicheng's handsome banner."

The guards outside the door immediately went to order Xiao Mo to meet him with the captured handsome man. Chongzhen felt incredible after hearing this. He said, "Don't fool me with something! A soldier is a major military and national affairs! It is not a child's game. I plan to hand over your Eastern Palace Guards camp to Shandong General Liu Zeqing..."

"Mind Master Xiao Mo greets His Majesty!" Xiao Mo stepped in and heard the emperor want to seize the military power of the crown prince. He saw that he was ruining his star, so he didn't care about the ruler and his ministers. The big horse went forward to the ground with a golden sword and performed a military salute on the Eastern Palace. The two personal soldiers behind him held Li Zicheng's handsome flag in their hands, and also looked murderous.

Chongzhen had never been violated like this before. Suddenly, he remembered Zhu Cixuan's so-called "military remonstrance" before, and the fact that he had never seen the ministers outside after arriving in Laizhou, and an incredible feeling arose in his heart - is I under house arrest by my son! Do I really want to be the Supreme Emperor!

Zhu Cilang ordered people to open the handsome flag, regardless of whether Chongzhen believed it or not, but said, "This handsome flag is indeed the Li thief. In the battle on the river that day, Xiao Mo led the guards to rush to the battlefield, kill the generals and seize the flag, and force Li thief to retreat for more than 30 miles."

"Just as you said, the flowers are good and the rice is good, why did you lose Shanxi?" Chongzhen still had natural pressure on his son and shouted loudly.

Zhu Cixuan had no choice but to turn to the military commander: "Convene a military conference for the school-level officers, and invite Wu Yan, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yingqi, Zhou Yuji, You Shiwei and Li Changling to attend."

Chongzhen listened to the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar names reported by the crown prince, and then looked at his son's calm and calm attitude, and he felt like a different life. At a moment, the people from the General Affairs Department of the Central Army brought the Shandong sand table and hung the enlarged Huang Mingkun map to arrange the seats for the officers who came to participate in the military discussion.

The officers with positions could not come all because of their different locations, and they might not be able to come immediately. Wu Yan, Sun Chuanting, and Zhou Yingqi worked in the house diagonally opposite the government office, and they came quickly. They were prepared to meet the emperor and were quite calm. However, Zhou Yuji, You Shiwei, and Li Changling were a little surprised and panicked when they saw the emperor, and they were caught off guard and kneeled down.

Chongzhen was sitting in the main hall, with an eunuch standing on the left and right, just like a small court discussing. He was about to speak hard, but suddenly his eyes flashed. It turned out that Zhu Cilang was blocking his face.

Zhu Cilang turned his back to the emperor and cleared his throat: "Now start the military discussion. First of all, I declare that what I see and hear today must be kept confidential, and those who leaked it will not be merciless. Okay, start the military discussion now."

After hearing this, Chongzhen thought to himself: Since you are going to make trouble, it depends on how you make trouble. Do you really think that keep it a secret? Do these people dare not talk too much? Children's opinion!

However, he didn't know that the East Palace had a confidentiality regulation early on. Anyone who could not lock his mouth was naturally eliminated after being double screened by the ten-person regiment and the military judge. Now that new recruits join the army, they first recite various regulations, and the confidentiality regulation is the top priority.

"The Shenjing has fallen, and the thieves have occupied Beijing. What we want to discuss today is the next move of the thieves and the plans of our army." Zhu Cixuan looked around for a week: "You are all backbone of the Eastern Palace, Huangming Gancheng, I guess you have thought about it."

Chongzhen had already thought of watching jokes, but he couldn't think of how to turn the tide, so he had to scan the generals of the middle army. He had an impression of Wu Yan and You Shiwei and others, and he was even familiar with them, but the officers of the East Palace all had strange faces, but they only vaguely remembered the names of several people. It was these officers who sat upright, held their helmets with curved arms, staring intently, and were full of energy.

This is the military appearance trained by pins on the collar. As long as the head is twisted, it will be stinging. At most, no one will move around in half a month.

In the Eastern Palace military discussion, seats are not arranged according to the number of the troops, but by military ranks. This can promote contact between different troops and provide a human basis for future large-scale movements. Now, according to the tradition of the Eastern Palace, those with low military ranks start to state. Most of these major officers are staff officers and department-level generals, with different levels and different statement times. Zhu Cilang did not urge them and let them play, unless they were really speechless and could only speak mercy before someone quietly came forward to remind them. (To be continued...)
