Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Wave of Unsettled
After the Guangning War, more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians were overturned, and as the Ming Emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to give an explanation to the whole world.
As a result, Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was removed from his post and imprisoned, and the three clans were killed, and Wang Huazhen, the senator of Guangning, was escorted back to Beijing by Tiqi.
After seeing the emperor in Xinuan Pavilion yesterday, he was also taken to prison by Dongchang Fanzi.
The issue of Xiong Tingbi abandoning Shenyang without authorization and sticking to Liaoyang has been the focus of recent foreign court controversy.
The Donglin Party obviously planned to talk about Xiong Tingbi, and no matter how bad it was, they would drag him into the water and change him to Liaodong.
At such a time, no one could see the blow that Xiong Tingbi had dealt to Nurhachi Houjin after several years of Liao, and his efforts to improve the situation in Liao and Shen.
On this day, the ministries and departments once again played.
This time, they no longer shouted that Wang Huazhen was innocent, but just bit Xiong Tingbi and abandoned Shenyang, and Yu Liaoyang couldn't shrink out, afraid of the war.
The snowflakes generally flew into the Xinuan Pavilion, but Zhu Youxiao did not give a clear answer.
Early in the morning, the sun was shining, and Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, came to the duty room, he still had a lot of ministry affairs to deal with, as Wang Huazhen's teacher, he was also the target of this Liao matter.
He has gone through three dynasties, ups and downs in the sea of eunuchs, and in the first year of the Apocalypse, although the state affairs have improved slightly, the general trend is still bad.
After Wang Huazhen's incident, the ministers of Donglin ran back and forth, trying to save Wang Huazhen, Ye Xianggao was swept in, and he gradually felt powerless.
He coughed a few times, opened a notebook on the table, and frowned.
Ye Xianggao read two paragraphs, turned back to the homepage, and carefully confirmed the official position of the sparse person, and always felt a little unbelievable.
The name of this transcript is Sun Chengzong, who succeeded the Senate of Quang Ninh.
A few days ago, Sun Chengzong went to Guangning with the rank of squire of the military department and succeeded him as a senator, which was a direct order from the emperor.
It varies from person to person, and there are no complaints from each department.
Sun Chengzong's appointment as senator went well, and a few days after Wang Huazhen was arrested by Ti Cai, he rushed to Quang Ninh to take office, intending to show his ambitions.
Previously, he was also one of the many people who criticized Xiong Tingbi for his incompetence and fear of war.
But the fact is that it is often not a backache to stand and speak, and when it comes to your own head, it is not so easy to speak.
After a few days of work in Guangning, Sun Chengzong's attitude towards Xiong Tingbi took a 180-degree turn.
In this recital, Sun Chengzong changed his previous attitude.
It is said that Xiong Tingbi has been in Liao for several years, and the chieftain has not been able to gain an inch, although there is damage, it is really a last resort, and Wang Huazhen is greedy and reckless, so he should be convicted.
Ye Xianggao was a little helpless, smiled bitterly, and decided to read it carefully.
In fact, the reason why Sun Chengzong's attitude changed completely was not because he arrived in Liaodi and had a detailed understanding of the war situation.
He has personally felt it, and knows that it is not easy for Xiong Tingbi to pass through Liao, and he also knows that Liaodi is a big fire pit.
Whether it is Governor Hong Chengchou, Jinglu Xiong Tingbi, or he, the newly appointed Senator of Guangning, they are now grasshoppers on a rope.
If one place is lost, all three are guilty of the same crime.
At that time, the court and the central government will sharpen their pen knives and criticize Sun Chengzong, the former emperor, and the friendship of the past will be shattered in an instant.
After reading it, Ye Xianggao pinched his eyebrows.
He has lived in Beijing for a long time, and although he knows everything about the court, after all, he is a civil servant, and the topography of Liaodong, Guangning, Liao, and Shen are just some distant and unfamiliar place names for him.
"Yuan Chonghuan..."Ye Xianggao repeated the name.
He never understood that this was just a fourth-grade soldier of Ning Yuan, but he was so strongly recommended by Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong's current recital had to make him vigilant.
If I went to Liaodi, would it be the same?
In addition to convicting Wang Huazhen, Sun Chengzong's recital also made another suggestion.
It is to abandon the eroded land of Liao and Shen for hundreds of miles, and shrink to Ningyuan and Jinzhou to establish a defense line.
Sun Chengzong's idea was to elevate the status of Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of Ningyuan's military garrison, so that he would be stationed in Ningyuan, and he would abandon Guangning and move to Jinzhou.
In the area of Ning and Jin, high bases were built layer by layer, Liao people were recruited to defend Liao soil, and the scale of the Liaodong Army was expanded, forming a moat.
Ye Xianggao knew that he had never been to Liaodong and could not understand Sun Chengzong's thoughts, so he chose to discuss this manuscript below.
......
Sun Chengzong's recital set off an uproar in the DPRK as soon as it was discussed.
A few days ago, in response to the dispute between Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi, he turned his head and stirred up the theory of setting up a defense line between Ning and Jin.
During this time, another voice emerged in the ministry.
These people once supported Xiong Tingbi, claiming that Yuan Chonghuan was a soft-spoken person and was not enough to do big things.
The Department of General Administration proposed that Xiong Tingbi, who was stationed in Liaoyang, be moved to Shanhaiguan, and Gao Di, the governor of Datong, should be transferred to Shanhaiguan, and Jiliao Jingluo should be appointed as the governor of Ji, and Xiong Tingbi would be in charge.
Immediately, the opposition of the ministers of Donglin followed.
For a while, the recitals of various controversies flew to Xinuan Pavilion one after another.
Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other officials listed in detail all kinds of undesirable guarding the mountain customs, once the Shanhai customs fell, a hundred miles later is the Beijing division, slaves can be there day and night.
The so-called one wall is the safety of the nine temples, and the defense line must be as far away from the Beijing division as possible, and the best choice is Ningyuan, which is hundreds of miles west of Shanhaiguan.
With Ning and Jin as the Yong wall, expand the armament of Liaodong, protect the mountains and seas, and then defend the Beijing division.
Facts have proved that whether Zhu Youxiao is in the court or not will not affect the usual decision on major affairs of the court at all, and he does not understand it very much.
In the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao sneered again and again.
Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian looked at the emperor with gloomy faces, and they were all sitting with their heads bored, without saying a word.
All the discussions between the DPRK and China stop at stationing mountains and seas, or setting up the defense line of Ning and Jin, but it is easy to give up Liao and Shen, it is hundreds of miles of Han land!
Once the army is withdrawn, the people will have to follow, and how many people will be displaced, and how many losses will be caused if the army is re-attacked.
What's more, once Liaoshen gives up, Jiannu will get the rich Liaoshen Plain, so as to completely make it bigger, and how easy is it to take it back?
Discussing where Shanhai and Ningjin are stationed, secretly it is still a dispute between Donglin and the eunuchs.
The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party both want to use their own people to control the power of Liao affairs, one is Yuan Chonghuan, who is strongly recommended by Sun Chengzong, and the other is Gao Di, the villain who flatters Wei Zhongxian.
There is another thing that Zhu Youxiao has to worry about, that is, Yongning Xuanfu Tusi Yu Chongming asked for 20,000 troops to support the war in Liaodong.
This question book directly made Zhu Youxiao turn his attention to the southwest border.
What is his idea, how could Zhu Youxiao not know?
As soon as the title of this book is published, it shows that he is ready for the rebellion, almost overnight.
The rebellion of Lu'an and Shapu affected the four provinces and lasted for more than ten years before it was completely quelled.
At this time, Daming Shang was still fighting on the front line, and once the southwest was in chaos and became a two-front battle, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, it is necessary to arrange it properly before extravagant rebellion is blatant, and wait for him to be together and directly suppress it with the power of thunder!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he said quietly:
"Spread the word that Qin Liangyu's husband Ma Qiancheng was rehabilitated, Yin Yizi was Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and Qiu Chengyun, the eunuch of the Sichuan Supervision Army, slandered Zhongliang and killed him on the spot."
"Secret edict, the governor of Sichuan is allowed to ask, when Yu Chongming comes to Chongqing, he must not be allowed to enter the city, and prepare troops in a hurry to prevent a sudden change."
"Secret message, Shizhu Tusi Qin Liangyu, Sichuan General Du Wenhuan, etc., pay close attention to Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan."
"Secret decree, add Baoding general soldier Lu Qin as the crown prince Shaobao, governors Yungui, Sichuan, Guangxi, give Shang Fang the sword, with heavy power."
"Dispatch the officers and troops of Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangxi provinces to Chongqing, but there is no need to ask for an order, and they will be exterminated on the spot."
