Chapter 6 Yuan Yingtai
Yuan Yingtai, the word Dalai, Fengxiang people, belongs to the Donglin Party.
In Zhu Youxiao's memory, Yuan Yingtai, who is recorded in the annals of history, is an officer who is shrewd and resolute, has a very good level of water control and financial management, and is an expert in logistics, but he is not good at commanding operations, and he has done a very bad job in planning and deployment.
And the content of the twist and turn is very simple - Yuan Yingtai passed through Liaodong on behalf of Xiong Tingbi, thinking that he should be lenient and benevolent and love the people, and changed Xiong Tingbi's many strict military discipline; Coinciding with the reason of the Xiaoice River period, the Mongol tribes were hungry and begged for food, so he initiated the women's benevolence, settled many Mongolian tribesmen, and recruited rebel generals and rebels.
So in the compromise, Yuan Yingtai said a lot of advantages of this: first, recruiting these people can make them no longer join the enemy; Second, these people are all Mongols, who are good at cavalry and archery, brave and good at fighting, and can be used to expand the Liaodong army and expand the border defense.
Yuan Yingtai has already placed people in the two major fortresses of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and this inscription is a report on the one hand, and a report on the other hand.
Glancing at the cabinet vote below, it was actually a commendation. Zhu Youxiao immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped the question book in his hand, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Shenyang and Liaoyang are lost like this, right? Among these people, there are inevitably those who are secretly used by the enemy, or among the enemy spies, do you know Yuan Yingtai?
How easy is it to resettle the victims? is also placed in Shenyang and Liaoyang, you Yuan is really not afraid of them making trouble!
The key is that this is not the refugees of the Ming Dynasty, but the Mongolian refugees, how to solve the consumption of grain and grass? Give them food every month, and live with the people? How to solve the contradictions between the people of the Ming Dynasty and them?
If I remember correctly, these people sneak into adultery and plunder, and "the inhabitants suffer". To resettle these refugees from the Mongol tribes at will is to die!
Even if he didn't come through time, Zhu Youxiao knew that he couldn't do this, what would the refugees of later generations look like? What is the result of those countries that shout righteousness to accept refugees? The gratitude of those refugees?
Don't make a fuss, Daming accepts Mongolian refugees? The Ming only needed slaves, not refugees. Moreover, the Western Jin Dynasty moved south, and the Hu people made a lesson from the chaos in the north, which has left a bloody mark in the historical materials!
Even in the original history, on March 20 of the first year of the Apocalypse, that is, two months later, the rebels of Jianzhou would attack Shenyang on a large scale, and the Mongols began to wreak havoc and attack the defenders, and finally led to the fall of Shenyang under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. The commander-in-chief officers He Shixian and You Shigong were killed in battle, and the 70,000 defenders were wiped out.
More than 30,000 Liao troops led by the commander-in-chief Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghua led more than 30,000 Liao troops from Zhejiang soldiers, Sichuan soldiers and Tujia Tusi private soldiers to help, and fought a fierce battle with the rebels in Chaohe, and were also defeated and killed.
Yuan Yingtai removed the defenders of Fengji, Weining and other fortresses, and defended the general base Liaoyang, diverted water to inject Hao, lined up firearms along Hao, and guarded the troops on all sides.
He personally commanded the commander-in-chief Hou Shilu, Li Bingcheng, Liang Zhongshan, Jiang Bi, Zhu Wanliang and others to lead 30,000 troops out of the city and five miles to meet the battle.
Because of the division of troops, coupled with the fact that the elite troops had been completely lost in Shenyang and Chaohe, the officers and troops fought unfavorably, and were defeated by Nurhachi's 60,000 cavalry, losing a lot of troops.
After the Jin spies set fire to the city, the rebels dug the west gate of the city to drain the water, divided the troops to plug the east water mouth of the city, and defeated the reinforcements of the generals. After only three days, Liaoyang fell, Yuan Yingtai was defeated, and he hanged himself with the official seal facing south.
This period of history, Zhu Youxiao was deeply impressed. Yuan Yingtai had no talent and took on a big responsibility, and finally lost more than 10 thousand strong soldiers in Liaodong and the world.
Thinking of Xiong Tingbi, who was recuperating at home under the pretext of recuperation, Zhu Youxiao's fingers gently tapped the handle of the chair and stool.
Historically, Xiong Tingbi was included in the Chu Party, and it was recorded that Yang Hao, the right attendant of the military department, passed through Liaodong, recruited exiles, rectified military orders, built chariots, firearms, dredging trenches, and garrisoned Dagu.
It is rumored that he is seven feet tall, has courage, knows military affairs, and is good at firing bows and arrows left and right. But he has a fiery temper, is upright, likes to scold people, and is unwilling to be humble and subservient, so public opinion does not approve of him.
In history, Xiong Tingbi was killed and passed on to the first nine sides, and the end can be described as miserable.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao gently put down the question book in his hand, looked up at Chen Hong, who had just returned to the Qianqing Palace, beckoned him to come over, and then said: "Spread the decree of the cabinet, according to the decree of the cabinet, reinstate Xiong Tingbi as the squire of the military department, pass through Liaodong, and start immediately, and must not be postponed in vain, and will be severely punished." Liaodong passed through Yuan Yingtai, transferred back to Beijing, and was appointed. ”
This has another appointment, but in fact, Zhu Youxiao hasn't figured out how to use it. In short, in a word, Zhu Youxiao just wants to transfer Yuan Yingtai back.
"Yes, my lord, the slave and maid will go!" Chen Hong agreed, bowed and retreated, the speed was very fast, although he was tired, he didn't dare to say anything. The emperor told him to do it, and he did not dare to slack off.
Since the Ming Dynasty, the Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister have been abolished, and the emperor is directly in charge of the government affairs of the six ministries and hundreds of departments, which is actually equivalent to the emperor concurrently serving as the prime minister, expanding the monarch's arbitrariness to the peak, but this is only the situation in the early Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu with personal characteristics (such as a strong desire for power, suspicion, rich ruling experience, energetic, etc.) to take measures.
But the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not have these characteristics and abilities, and they were unwilling to do the same, but it was inconvenient for the "ancestral teachings" to be openly violated, what should I do?
Under these circumstances, the cabinet system gradually took shape, and in a new form it played the role of limiting the arbitrariness of the monarchy.
And the cabinet at this time looks like an old man who is about to die, lifeless. Chen Hong soon came to the cabinet's duty room.
In the duty room, Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar, was chatting with Han Kuang, and as a cabinet scholar, the relationship between the two was also very good. They are all from Jinshi, and they represent the same interest class, so naturally there is no major contradiction.
Liu Yijing looks like he is in his early fifties, but his beard is already a little gray, and he has been worried about the court a lot over the years of being an official.
When they saw Chen Hong, they were slightly stunned, is this Your Majesty have something to say?
"I've seen Liu Gong!" After seeing Liu Yijing, Chen Hong bowed and saluted. Although Chen Hong is Zhu Youxiao's chamberlain, he still has due respect for Liu Yijing, the first academician of the cabinet, who is the first official in the world.
"Chen Neishi!" Liu Yijing also smiled and said, "But Your Majesty has an order?" ”
Chen Hong nodded, raised his fists above his head and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, their expressions were a little nervous, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted, waiting for Chen Hong to speak.
"According to the decree of the cabinet, Xiong Tingbi will be reinstated as the squire of the military department, and he will go through Liaodong from now on, and he shall not be postponed in vain, and he will be severely punished. Liaodong passed through Yuan Yingtai, transferred back to Beijing, and was appointed. Chen Hong said in a loud voice.
"Commandment!" Liu Yijing and the others were all stunned when they heard that Xiong Tingbi was going to be reinstated, but they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.
It's one thing for you to disagree with the emperor's ideas, you can advise, but you must not disobey the decree. This is the next word for them.
Chen Hong nodded, and then said with a smile: "The will has been announced, then our family will leave!" Saying that, Chen Hong left with a fist, he didn't want to have anything to do with these people in the cabinet.
I don't know why, Chen Hong always felt that the cabinet was afraid that someone was going to be unlucky, and there was no reason, it was just an intuition. Simply stay away, so as not to be implicated by the thunderbolt.
