Chapter 149: The Dispute between Civil and Military Weapons (For the Helmsman ∠ Se Jiachang)
Seeing that several new cabinet ministers knew each other very well, Wen Tiren was very satisfied.
Chongzhen swept around the ministers and said with a calm face: "Go on!" ”
Without Tang Shiji and other imperial historians to fight in the front, Wen Tiren had no choice but to go into battle shirtless and said: "The Yongwei battalion is wearing 20,000 armor, and its combat effectiveness is obvious to all, and there is no one to balance in the Beijing division!" Your Majesty, please think again! ”
The Hou of the Household Department said: "Is it wrong to be able to fight? If Da Ming didn't have these two thousand capable soldiers, he really didn't know what the situation was now. ”
Wen Tiren snorted coldly, ignored Hou Sui, and continued: "The Yongwei Battalion is good at killing the Imperial History of Zuodu, and the reason is intolerable!" Please ask Your Majesty to send troops to encircle and suppress, and those who surrender will not be killed! ”
Wen Tiren's younger brother cabinet minister Zhang Zhifa also said: "The minister seconded the proposal, please Your Majesty order to transfer the Shenji Battalion, the Shenshu Battalion, and the Five Army Battalions to encircle and suppress the Yongwei Battalion, and force it to surrender!" ”
Zhang Shize snorted and said: "With all due respect, although there are tens of thousands of horses in my Shenshu Battalion, it is not defeated by half of the people in the Yongwei Battalion!" ”
Wang Wannian also said: "Although there are many firearms in the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers are as timid as mice, and when the battle is not for the Yongwei Battalion to sit in the front line of the Chinese army, my Shenji Battalion will be defeated without a fight in the face of the Tartar cavalry." ”
Wang Wannian is not as straightforward as Zhang Shize said, but the meaning is the same, and we can't beat it.
The governors of the five military camps did not speak, did not say anything, as if this was none of our business.
The Chinese courtiers of the palace talked a lot, and even the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion, who had fought with the Tartars, considered themselves not to be the opponents of the Yongwei Battalion, let alone the other guards who had never been on the battlefield.
Chongzhen's face was ugly, he had already seen that the generals had already turned their hearts to the prince, and he didn't understand how this rebel bought people's hearts!
Wen Tiren shouted angrily: "If you can't check and balance, you can let the Yongwei Battalion act recklessly in Beijing? ”
His words were like thunderbolts, and they resounded loudly in the hall, startling the ministers in the hall for a while, and they were silent for a while.
Zhang Shize couldn't hold back any longer, he came out and shouted: "Since ancient times, those who have been ministers have been proud of 'civil death and martial death', but the Yongwei battalion has fought to the death many times outside, and the officials have framed him for the opposite, is this how he died!" You have done this, what other warrior dares to shed blood and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty? ”
Zhang Shize's words were earth-shattering, like ten thousand arrows, piercing everyone's hearts, and even making Chongzhen's body on the throne tremble slightly.
British bluff hurriedly scolded: "Shut up! ”
Wang Wannian was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Shize, who had always been calm, to say this, and at this moment he admired this old brother in his heart.
The generals were also touched, and they had some thoughts in their hearts, the Ming Dynasty did not emphasize literature and light military at first, and the system established by Emperor Taizu was only the separation of civil and military, and the status of civil and military was equal.
Since the Tumubao Incident, the emperor was arrested, and the military forces were devastated, and since then the civilian-controlled military department has controlled the army, and since then, the fate of the Ming military generals has basically depended on the fate of the civilian officials who supported him.
Qi Jiguang, the most typical generation of famous generals, fell with the fall of Zhang Juzheng, after the civil officials became dominant, they were busy fighting and fighting for the party, and the generals were also burdened by the party struggle, just like a grandson, if he had real power, he would have mutinied a long time ago, who would still be affected by this bird's anger!
A civil official pointed at Zhang Shize and said, "What do you mean?" ”
A governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion looked at him coldly and said, "Isn't it?" You civil officials should do the work of your auxiliaries, and do you need to worry about the war and the army? ”
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately fiercely criticized by many civil servants, who angrily denounced that the military generals had begun to be domineering and that they must be strengthened.
The generals used to be so brilliant, but now they have been suppressed by the civilian officials, bullied and white-eyed, the martial artists have endured for nearly two hundred years, and now they finally have the opportunity to break out, they do not show weakness, and a group of civil officials shouted.
After the influence of the mutiny of the Yongwei Battalion, the most common party dispute in the court evolved into a civil and military dispute in the main hall at this time.
Chongzhen looked at the generals one by one, only to see that their eyes were emitting a scorching light, and there seemed to be a gloomy meaning on their faces, and he was suddenly startled in his heart, and a chill surged into his heart.
The civil and military disputes in the main hall were endless, and some military generals rolled up their sleeves and almost staged the old traditional martial arts of the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking of the whole martial arts, it was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was the emperor, the court would often stage the whole martial arts, but these ministers did not fight alone, they often ganged up, hundreds of people fought together, and if they won the battle, they said that they were asking for their lives for the people, and if they lost, they could also be said to be loyal to the country.
Once, the ministers directly killed the commander of the Jinyi Guard on the spot in the main hall, and the red-eyed ministers finally targeted the emperor, and Dai Zong's face was frightened white, and he immediately highly affirmed that the atrocities of the ministers just now in the Jinluan Palace were righteous and brave, and they escaped a catastrophe.
During the Jiajing period, because he was not accustomed to seeing the "traitorous villains" such as Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao, the directors of the Criminal Department who did everything possible to flatter the emperor, Yang Shen and Wang Yuanzheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Chong of the Criminal Department did not go to a class of enthusiastic young people, and they blocked the road and set up cards on the Jinshui Bridge in front of the Forbidden City every day, waiting for Zhang Xuan, Gui Cao and others, and they did not dare to go to the court for a long time.
There are also high-arch brawls in the cabinet during the Longqing period, there are too many, and Zhu Cihong's sword slashing the imperial history is just a small scene, but in recent years, few ministers have become fussed.
Wang Chengen was bored to watch the civil and military sides spray each other without moving their mouths, occasionally leaning to the side of the throne, only to see that the eunuch leader of Kunning Palace was hurriedly gesturing to greet him, and he got off the Dan Majesty and walked over.
Chongzhen originally wanted to discuss how to deal with the Yongwei Battalion in the court meeting, but he didn't expect this situation to happen, his face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but roar: "Enough!" ”
The emperor roared angrily, and the civil and military ministers who were originally arguing with each other gradually quieted down, waiting for His Majesty's Sacred Heart to dictatorship.
"Intended!" Chongzhen stood up abruptly on the throne and wanted the Sacred Heart to be dictatorial, but found that Wang Chengen was gone......
The chief eunuch of Kunning Palace said a few words in Wang Chengen's ear, Wang Chengen broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, he turned around and walked quickly to the Dan Majesty, accidentally, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground, and without waiting for other eunuchs to come and help, he even jumped up with lacquer.
"What's going on?" Chongzhen frowned and looked at him, losing his honor in front of the palace, this is a big crime, Wang Chengen has been in the palace for many years and still makes such a low-level mistake.
Wang Chengen hurriedly stood up and hurriedly whispered in Chongzhen's ear.
"What! The prince was poisoned? Chongzhen's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
The whole hall was silent, only Chongzhen's voice spread in the hall, and all the ministers were frightened, only to see the emperor leave in a hurry after shouting.
The crown prince was poisoned? The ministers were shocked, someone actually harmed the crown prince, and people inadvertently turned their eyes to the eunuchs, but the eunuchs were collectively silent, you look at me, I look at you.
