Chapter 17 Famous Ministers and Fierce Generals

"Wang Daban."

Throwing down the concerto, Wang Xiao picked up the teacup, "What do you think of Wei Zhongxian?" ”

Wang Chengen paused, bowed down and responded, "This person's sin is unforgivable. ”

"Indeed, there is no forgiveness for sin." Wang Xiao tossed the tea bowl, "But he is a useful person for the emperor." ”

Wang Xiao put down the teacup and looked at Wang Chengen, "Are you willing to be a person who uses the emperor again?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his clothes and knelt down to salute, "I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will not give up." ”

"You pick up everything Wei Zhongxian has done before, but the eunuch party or something is not good, and it will be changed to royalists in the future. The eunuch of Bingbi is also served by you. ”

Wang Xiao looked at him calmly, "In the future, everything in the palace will be handed over to you to be responsible." But don't fool me with an egg for a tael of silver, and for a window for two hundred taels. ”

The emperors of the past dynasties are basically longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace, why not eat minced meat, which sounds ridiculous, but in fact, these emperors really don't understand the market.

The eunuchs in the palace are all kinds of fools, and no matter what they buy, they are far more expensive than those outside.

These things may be fooled by others, but it is definitely impossible to fool Wang Xiao.

"Where is Xu Guangqi now?"

Wang Chengen thought about it carefully: "What Your Majesty is asking, but is Lord Xu, the right attendant of the former Ministry of Rites and a bachelor?" ”

"Well, that's him."

Although Wang Chengen has just taken office, he still has an understanding of the movements of the senior officials in the DPRK and China.

As a henchman who has to be used by King Xin's side, Wang Chengen knows that he will definitely be reused. This information also began to be learned at an early age.

"Lord Xu is in Songjiang's hometown."

Wang Xiao values Xu Guangqi very much, this is a scientist in the real sense of the word, "issued an edict to him, and the edict reinstated him as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and immediately entered Beijing." ”

Whether it's artillery or flintlock pistols, it's ultimately up to the professionals to do it.

Wang Xiao has the information and technology, but he doesn't have time to stare at such a thing. Xu Guangqi is the most suitable person to do this in this era.

One of the advantages of killing Wei Zhongxian is that people like Xu Guangqi who were excluded and framed by Wei Zhongxian are willing to serve Mingjun.

Wang Xiao continued to look through the recitals, and many of them were recommended candidates for the cabinet.

The fall of Wei Zhongxian gave Wang Xiao a chance to purge the court, and many ministers were convicted of eunuchs. The cabinet elder was empty three at once.

The few who remained for the time being simply because they didn't want to be too turbulent.

With so many vacant positions, Wang Xiao can arrange for real talents to take the position.

The position is vacant, and many people are eyeing it. The Donglin Party jumped up and down to promote its own people to hold power, and the highest voice was Ye Xianggao, the former cabinet chief assistant of Zhishi at home.

There are also good people in the Donglin Party, such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who are both outstanding ministers. It's a pity that they have been killed by Wei Zhongxian.

But fortunately, there is another one of the most outstanding, Sun Chengzong.

Wang Xiao has read Sun Chengzong's information, this loyal minister is not only outstanding, but most importantly, he has absolute loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chengzong's hometown was Gaoyang, and when the Manchus invaded here, he took the men of his entire family to battle.

Sons, grandsons, nephews, nephews and more than 100 members of the clan were all killed in the battle.

Only such a person is truly loyal.

"Please ask Sun Chengzong to return to Beijing and serve as the first assistant of the cabinet."

In Wang Xiao's opinion, there is no one more suitable to be the first assistant of the cabinet than Sun Chengzong.

There is nothing to say about personal ability and character, and he is also the boss of the Donglin Party. Using him as the first assistant is enough to block the mouth of the Donglin Party.

In addition, Li Banghua, Shi Bangyao, Meng Zhaoxiang and others are all trustworthy and loyal ministers.

Wang Xiao doesn't pay much attention to the Wenchen side, mainly because the Ming Dynasty is now difficult to return, and the Wenchen side can maintain it, what is really needed is a strong army that can win the battle.

There are a lot of generals.

Aside from those who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those who fought and died were Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others.

Some of these people are brave and unparalleled, and some are more intelligent. However, the most suitable person to be the commander of the new army is Sun Chuanting.

Compared with Hong Chengchou, who finally surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, Sun Chuanting fought for the Ming Dynasty until the last moment, until he died in Tongguan.

And his individual abilities are outstanding. After serving as the governor of Shaanxi, he built a Qin army with the foundation of withering everywhere, and successfully defeated and captured Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who was known as the head of the righteous army.

Li Zicheng was only under Gao Yingxiang's command at the beginning, and he was only one of the middle-level princes. When he inherited the title of King Chuang, he stood out and became the leader of the army of outcasts.

Sun Chuanting's ability can be seen from this.

Wang Xiao firmly believes that it is not a good thing for the emperor to take care of everything. Really being able to recognize and employ people, and mastering the way of checks and balances is what the emperor should do.

A large number of brocade guards set out from the capital with the holy decree and rushed to all directions.

The new commander of the Jinyi Guard, Shen Lian, who is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi, can be described as a celebrity in the recent fire.

Shen Lian was valued by the new emperor, and jumped several levels all the way to the high position of commanding affairs. At this time, it was at the moment of changing the dynasty, and Jinyiwei was still the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, so no one was impeached.

"My lord, it will be Daizhou City in half an hour, but do you want the small one to enter the city first and let them arrange the arrangements?"

Several brocade guards who were good at welcoming came forward to scold Shen Lian, a big celebrity.

"Arrange what?" Shen Lian's face sank, "The holy decree is like a mountain, so naturally I want to find Lord Sun to pass on the decree first." Be loyal to the emperor! ”

The horse's ass slapped on the horse's leg, and several of his subordinates could only laugh and retreat. In my heart, if you Shen Lian have a horse high and short one day, see how we repay you.

Shen Lian was absolutely loyal to the emperor, not only was he reused, but he was able to show his ambitions. Moreover, the emperor also gave Zhou Miaotong to marry him and untied his knot.

This great kindness, Shen Lian is determined to repay him with death. Not long after the wedding, he took the initiative to ask for orders to go out to spread the message.

"Carried by heaven, the emperor said... Sun Chuanting's Jin Army's Zuo Shilang, Shuntianfu Yin, and the commander of the Shenji Battalion and the training envoy. His wife and grandson Zhang's Yonghe is pure, and his sex is gentle and gentle, and he is specially given the wife of the three products. The eldest son Sun Shiruiyin brocade clothes and hundreds of households. Chin this. ”

In the film and television dramas, all the Fengtian carriers, the emperor said.

But in fact, the edict is a great decree, the kind that proclaims the whole world. The system is the kind that announces the hundred officials. It is said that it is the one who will be added to the official and knighted, and will be rewarded. The so-called divine drama is to challenge your bottom line of wisdom without distraction.

Not only Sun Chuanting was reused, but his wife got the order of the third grade, and the eldest son was not yet ten years old and had the shadow of the sixth grade.

For the officials of this era, sealing their wives and shadows is the top pursuit of fame.

This year, he is only in his early thirties, and Sun Chuanting, who was just a county order before he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, was really moved. Tears broke down on the spot, shouting long live.

The left squire of the military department is a high-ranking official of Zheng Sanpin, and Sun Chuanting, who could only wear a green robe when he was a county commander before, has become a high-level who can wear a red robe.

The entire Daizhou City was a sensation, and countless neighbors came to congratulate them. Celebratory firecrackers rang off all day from morning to night.

Wang Xiao came to Sun Chuanting in order to let him lead the new army, so the left squire of the military department was actually titled.

The prefects of the whole world are all positive four products, and only the Shuntian Mansion at the feet of the Son of Heaven is a high-end positive three products. This is also a title, the reason is because in history, when Sun Chuanting was restored, he was the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and Wang Xiao gave him a lesson of respecting history.

Sun Chuanting's real position is the commander and training envoy of the Shenji Battalion.

The new army is under the name of the Shenji Battalion, but Wang Xiao can't look down on the Shenji Battalion that has long been rotten, so he re-established a new army under his name.

As for the soldiers, they were mainly found from the exiled people from Liaodong, who had a common enmity with the Manchus. After that, good families from all over the country will be recruited into the army.

The Ming Dynasty's guard system has long since collapsed, and the soldiers in the guards have become tenants of thousands of households, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. Conscription is an inevitable choice.

The Sun family offered Shen Lian a full hundred taels of happy money, and Shen Lian accepted it without shirking.

The Sun family is a big local family, and the happy money of a hundred taels of silver can still be obtained under this kind of big event. And this is a customary rule, Shen Lian takes it with peace of mind.

Although he was promoted quickly, he didn't have any savings before. Now that I am married to a delicate beautiful lady, all kinds of expenses have risen in a straight line compared to when I was a bachelor.

It's not that there are no ways to get extra money, but there are more people who carry silver to the door. But Shen Lian is loyal to Wang Xiao and will never accept that money.

A similar scene occurred in many places, such as Sun Chengzong's family in Gaoyang City, Lu Xiangsheng's family in Daimyo's Mansion, Sun Yuanhua's family in Jiading City, Cao Wenzhao's family in Ningyuan City, and so on.

These famous ministers and fierce generals who shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty in history rushed to the capital under the call of Wang Xiao.

Their fate also took a turn because of Hokusai's wish.

"These five tigers and five biaos or something, you don't need to keep them."

After Wei Zhongxian hung up, cleaning up his henchmen became the most concerned thing inside and outside the court.

Wang Xiao took the red pen and drew circles and crosses on the roster in front of him. Such as Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe and others are core figures. Wang Xiao painted them all with red crosses.

"Those in the Donglin Party are all listed in the list of eunuchs." Wang Xiao turned out a few more traitors who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

For example, Sun Zhiqi, a miscellaneous person who took the initiative to shave his head, and Hong Chengchou, a traitor to the prince and master of the Qing Dynasty, were all dragged into the eunuch case by Wang Xiao, and went to hell in disrepute.

And it is really not good for someone like Qian Qianyi, who has an itchy scalp to take the initiative to oppose Wei Zhongxian, and then was squeezed home, to be dragged into the eunuch party. However, they are also on Wang Xiao's small book, and they don't want to have a chance to recover in this life.

"This person..."Wang Xiao looked at a book of impeachment of Ma Shiying, the prefect of Datong, and after careful consideration, wrote down the slander and dismissed it.

Ma Shiying was one of the main founders of the Southern Ming, and after Duoduo went south to destroy the Southern Ming, he persisted in resisting until he was finally defeated and captured, and died of skinning and filling the grass.

Later generations of literati poured countless dirty water on him, but it is an irrefutable fact that Ma Shiying died fighting for the Ming Dynasty.

"That's all."

After approving the death penalty list, Wang Xiao put down the pen in his hand.

As for the others, the flow of the stream, the off of the off. Everyone has to pay for what they have done!
