"Your Majesty, no!"
"You can't do this!"
"If all the generals of the capital camp are transferred away, who will guard the capital? If the northern Jian Krupp attacks, what will the capital do?”
Zhu Chunchen hurriedly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the capital camp cannot be moved!"
"Your Majesty, if the capital camp is to be mobilized, we need to be careful. A moment of carelessness can shake the foundation of the country!”
"Your Majesty, the incident at Tumu Fortress is a lesson from the past. The capital camp cannot be moved lightly!”
“……”
Li Guozhen and the others stepped forward and objected.
This time, not only did the generals object, even the civil officials stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty wants to train the capital camp and make it a battle-hardened army. However, the capital camp is the elites of the Ming Dynasty. How can a mere bandit use the capital camp?”
"This is the foundation of the country. Your Majesty, please consider the situation and don't transfer the capital camp!”
Cheng Jiming couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and step forward to advise.
He wasn't afraid, but once the capital camp was transferred away, the capital region would be empty. Once the northern Jian Krupp took advantage of the situation and invaded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, last year, the Jian Krupp in the north surrounded the capital. If the capital camp is moved away and the Jian Krupp attacks, the capital will be in danger, and the Great Ming will be in danger!”
Wu Zongda also advised.
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
The rest of the ministers also advised.
Among these people, there might be people like Cheng Jiming and Wu Zongda who thought for the court, but there were also many officials who were afraid!
Without the protection of the capital camp, the capital could easily fall if anything happened!
Once the capital fell, their lives would be in danger!
Therefore, Chongzhen's actions caused the entire court to oppose him!
Chong Zhen did not think much of it. He had long expected such a situation.
"Dear ministers, I naturally won't put the safety of the country at risk. I have already dispatched an army back to the capital!”
"Transferring the capital camp away is just a swap!”
Chong Zhen laughed.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"We didn't receive any orders to mobilize troops.”
Cheng Jiming and the other cabinet ministers, the Minister of War, and the governors of the five armies were all puzzled.
Was Chongzhen lying to them?
However, at this moment!
" Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The sound of hooves suddenly rang out like war drums!
All the officials in the court were shocked. They turned around and saw more than a hundred elite cavalry leading tens of thousands of soldiers charging towards the capital camp drill ground!
His aura was like a rainbow!
It was as if there were thousands of troops!
When the ten thousand soldiers entered the drill ground, they immediately stopped and executed the order!
Cao Bianjiao galloped his horse and arrived in front of Chong Zhen. He quickly dismounted and saluted, saying,"Your Majesty, I, Cao Bianjiao, have been ordered to lead the troops back to the capital. Please inspect the three armies!”
Led the army back to the capital?
Cheng Jiming and the other ministers looked at each other in dismay.
When did Chongzhen issue the decree?
Why didn't they know?
Zhu Chunchen, Li Guozhen, and the others 'expressions were even uglier!
Chongzhen had actually really sent troops back!
They had not received any news at all before this!
At this moment, how could they not know that they had all been schemed against by Chongzhen!
It wasn't that Chongzhen didn't want to touch them, but that he was waiting for an opportunity!
Chongzhen was really vicious!
It was called a transfer, but it was actually a drastic measure. How was this transferring the capital camp away? It was clearly transferring them, the noble family generals!
Most of these people in the capital camp were their family generals, but they had spent countless efforts to transfer their men and nobles from the battlefield!
Chongzhen wanted to banish all of their generals with just one sentence!
Not only would they be eliminated, but their families would also become the fighting force of the imperial court!
They were in a difficult situation now. They couldn't possibly say that these soldiers of the capital camp were their generals, right?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting that they were eating empty pay?
This was a serious crime!
They couldn't afford it!
Chongzhen's move was really a desperate plan!
Kill two birds with one stone!
He was extremely scheming!
Without even thinking, once the capital camp was transferred away, they would completely lose their right to speak in the court!
They would never be able to rise again.
Their ending would be very miserable!
Li Guozhen and the others were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Zhu Chunchen also knew the severity of the situation. He knew very well that Chongzhen had already mobilized troops from Shaanxi back to the capital. They could not change the final outcome!
However, Zhu Chunchen was still unwilling to give up!
"Your Majesty is wise and plans from thousands of miles away!”
Zhu Chunchen shouted.
Li Guozhen and the others were dumbfounded. Was this Duke of Cheng crazy?
Chongzhen directly made them all figureheads and even praised His Majesty for being wise!
Was he stupid?
Zhu Chunchen took a deep breath and continued,""Your Majesty, if you want to train the capital camp, I am willing to share your worries. I am willing to lead troops into Shaanxi to suppress the bandits for the country!”
This was Zhu Chunchen's true goal!
Even if the capital camp was transferred away, as long as they had military power, they still had a chance to turn things around!
Li Guozhen and the others were not stupid!
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to serve the country and be loyal to Your Majesty. I am willing to be the vanguard general of Your Majesty's army!”
"Your Majesty, I'm also willing to go to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits!”
“……”
Li Guozhen and the others knelt down and begged.
Chong Zhen smiled. He had endured for more than a month to get to this point. Could he still let them take back the military power?
Dream on!
"Dear ministers, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, I am very touched!”
"However, all of you are meritorious officials of the country and share the same fate as the country. I can't bear for all of you to travel thousands of miles.”
Chong Zhen said with a face full of sincerity.
When Zhu Chunchen and the others heard this, their hearts were filled with panic. Chongzhen really knew how to act!
What heartache?
What did he mean by 'couldn't bear with them'?
It was clear that he did not want them to get their hands on military power and wanted to use a knife against them!
However, Zhu Chunchen was still unwilling to give up and continued,""Your Majesty, the capital camp is an important weapon of the country. How can a nameless general like Cao Bianjiao lead the capital camp? If Your Majesty insists on letting Cao Bianjiao lead the capital camp and lead the army in Shaanxi, I'm afraid there will be changes!”
"Your Majesty, please do not let your guard down!"
Zhu Chunchen's words did not oppose Chongzhen, but pointed the spearhead at Cao Bianjiao.
Cao Bianjiao was just a guerrilla general. If they had not come here today, many of them would not have known who Cao Bianjiao was.
Since he could not change Chongzhen's will, he would start with Cao Bianjiao.
As long as he insisted that Cao Bianjiao lacked the ability and qualifications, Chongzhen could only choose a general from the capital to lead the capital camp to Shaanxi.
Even if it wasn't Zhu Chunchen, it would be someone else!
As long as the capital camp was in Xun Gui's hands, Xun Gui would not fall!
"Hehe, my dear minister's words are reasonable. Cao Bianjiao is indeed not qualified to lead the army. Zhen originally wanted to let my dear minister Cao Wenzhao lead the capital camp.”
"However, Cao Wenzhao's operation in Shaanxi is at a critical moment, so he sent Cao Bianjiao to temporarily lead the capital camp. After the capital camp enters Shaanxi, Cao Wenzhao will be in charge!”
Chong Zhen smiled at Zhu Chunchen and said,""I wonder if beloved minister thinks Cao Wenzhao has the ability to command the capital camp?”
