Chapter 17 Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Kyoguchi
The biggest prejudice of the ministers of the southern capital against Ma Shiying was that he borrowed the power of the four towns in Jiangbei to support King Fu.
Now the four towns of Jiangbei are already big at the end, and they all want to take the fat of Yangzhou, Gao Jie and the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou even fought viciously several times and even threatened to slaughter the city, and the arrogance of the four towns of Jiangbei to such a point is the result of Ma Shiying's connivance.
Since Ma Shiying promised to deal with the aftermath of Jiangbei military affairs, the ministers of the southern capital felt that it was an acceptable ending, and Liu Kongzhao was the first to stand up and agree: "Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet is indeed a perfect ending, Zhang Shangshu, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Shenyan could only accept the outcome of the sniper failure: "Since the sincerity Bodu said that it is perfect, then what else can I say, Ma Yaocao, Jiangbei military affairs are handed over to you to be in charge......
Ma Shiying didn't take generals like Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing in his heart, and he had already figured out how to deal with Jiangbei military affairs.
To deal with martial artists like Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, and Liu Liangzuo, it is natural to use martial artists like Liu Kongzhao and Liu Yongxi who are loyal to the imperial court.
Ma Shiying was originally not very interested in Liu Yongxi's new establishment of an army in Jiangbei, but now he feels that it is a real stroke of genius.
Liu Yongxi and Liu Kongzhao can not only be used to deal with the Donglin Fushe who does not know how to lift, but also can be used as a supervising team on the Jiangbei Front to deal with the four towns, and Liu Yongxi has a maximum of 3,500 men and horses, this little force does not pose much threat to the imperial court, but it is just right to act as the supervising team of the four towns.
As the official secretary who presided over the meeting, Zhang Shenyan could only draw up the final list according to the results of the ministers' meeting, and then went out of the palace to hand over the list to the long-awaited Fengyang town guard eunuch Lu Jiude and Nanjing garrison eunuch Han Zanzhou: "Two eunuchs, everyone says that this list is perfect!"
Although the goal of sniping Ma Shiying into the cabinet was not achieved, Zhang Shenyan felt that the final list was completely acceptable to Donglin.
Among the four candidates, Donglin's Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang just accounted for half, although Gao Hongtu has always been known for "not attached to Donglin", but now he is also Donglin's ally, and a Ma Shiying entering the cabinet naturally can't make much waves.
Of course, the premise is that King Fu fully accepts this list, so Zhang Shenyan will say that this list is "perfect", and Lu Jiude and Han Zanzhou both looked serious, and Han Zanzhou finally said: "Zhang Shangshu, I will definitely convey your words!"
Under normal circumstances, it will take at least a few days to get the results after the court push, and sometimes the people who will be pushed will be selected to face the saint, and the emperor will decide the final result according to the results of the interview.
But now that the new creation of the country is in the autumn of survival, King Fu has promised to appoint the ministers as soon as possible, so the ministers will not leave after pushing, but gather in the palace to wait for the final result.
Ma Shiying was very satisfied with the performance of Liu Yongxi and Liu Kongzhao: "Xiao Chengyi Bo is ready to go out of Beijing?" Don't wait for His Majesty to ascend the throne before leaving? ”
Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "I still have to stay here in the southern capital for a few days, but the Jiangbei beacon fire is frequent, and the army is undecided, I must cross the river as soon as possible!"
Ma Shiying is now more and more appreciative of this sincere uncle: "That's good, little sincerity uncle let it go, no matter what trouble you cause, I will help you in Nanjing, by the way, after you leave Beijing, you will first use the name of the deputy chief soldier of Jingkou!"
King Fu had promised Ma Shiying before that as long as he could enter the court push list, Yubi would definitely hand-pick Ma Shiying to enter the cabinet, so Ma Shiying naturally dared to make such a promise to Liu Yongxi after confirming that he had entered the cabinet.
Liu Kongzhao was a little questioned: "Deputy Chief Soldier of Jingkou? ”
Ma Shiying just wanted to explain what was going on, but saw Zhang Shenyan leading Lu Jiude into the main hall, Lu Jiude was now replaced by a smiling face, he arched his hand at Ma Shiying and smiled: "Congratulations to Guiyang Xiangguo......"
Although Lu Jiude hadn't come up with an edict yet, but Lu Jiude was in such a posture, everyone knew that King Fu had already ordered him to enter the cabinet, and they all saluted him and said, "Congratulations to Ma Xiangguo...... Hoshima Sangkoku!"
Lu Jiude saluted Shi Kefa again: "Congratulations also to Xiangfu Xiangguo!"
The ministers were jubilant and congratulatory again, and Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang suddenly became nervous, no matter what aspect they looked at, it was natural for Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa to enter the cabinet, and their entry into the cabinet may have many variables.
Lu Jiude saluted Gao Hongtu again: "Congratulations to Jiaozhou Xiangguo!"
Although Gao Hongtu said that he was satisfied that he could not enter the cabinet to be a minister, but when he really entered the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only give his hand to everyone again and again.
And Jiang Yueguang was even more nervous, but Lu Jiude did not say "Congratulations to Nanchang Xiangguo", but directly read the edict.
Jiang Yueguang's defeat naturally caused a lot of waves among the ministers, although many Donglin gentlemen felt in advance that this meeting would definitely make Ma Shiying return, but the final result was a little disappointed for Donglin.
Ma Shiying not only successfully entered the cabinet, but Lu Jiude said "Congratulations to Guiyang Xiangguo" as soon as he entered the palace, which naturally represented the strong support of King Fu, and what was worse was that Jiang Yueguang was finally defeated.
Although they all knew that Jiang Yueguang was working too hard in supporting King Lu, so King Fu was reluctant to let him enter the cabinet, but the result was that Donglin wanted to overwhelm Ma Shiying, and he had to go all out to win Gao Hongtu, an unreliable ally.
Therefore, after Lu Jiude finished reading the edict and thanked the ministers, the Donglin gentlemen gathered together to discuss how to deal with it next.
And the Xunchen saw that Donglin did not stop Ma Shiying from entering the cabinet with all his strength, and Liu Kongzhao, Liu Yongxi and his son made great contributions in the process of Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet, and they all moved closer to Liu Kongzhao, even Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng.
Although Xu Hongji and Zhao Zhilong are speaking from Donglin's position today, they know very well that since they were born in Xunchen, they cannot completely act alone from the collective, and since Ma Shiying has entered the cabinet, he must have a good relationship with Liu Kongzhao.
Now Liu Kongzhao is naturally like a fish in water, and Ma Shiying specially called Liu Yongxi over: "Little Chengyibo, you should have heard what I said just now, right?" After leaving Beijing, he should try his best to serve the imperial court, and for the time being, he will first use the name of the deputy chief soldier of Jingkou. ”
Liu Yongxi is a smart person: "Thank you Xiangguo, it's just that the position of deputy chief soldier also needs to be pushed!"
According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the general army and the deputy general soldier must be pushed by the court, but since it is the military and five military governors' offices, they are also eligible to participate in the court push, but the reason why Ma Shiying asked Liu Yongxi to use this name naturally has a deeper plan: "The position of this deputy general soldier is indeed to be pushed by the court, but Shi Xiangguo has been planning to set up a new Jiang waterproof division recently, with a number of 50,000 soldiers, and the two towns of Jiujiang and Jingkou will be newly established!"
