Chapter XXIII
What are you kidding, how could Emperor Chongzhen be angry with the dragon body for the sake of Gao Qidive's dog thing?
What is the situation in the Ming Dynasty today, is there no pressure in Emperor Chongzhen's heart?
Isn't it just a house slave, venting evil anger to calm down the mentality, what a big deal?
Gao Shi saw this, and his heart was full of thoughts, the emperor was really getting more and more ruthless.
It seems that since the old man fainted and woke up, he has acted a little less indecisive and a little more decisive.
All major matters were arbitrary, and they were decided in one word, and they were never consulted with the courtiers.
Of course, this is also related to the emperor's dismissal of four cabinet scholars in one fell swoop, and he did not attend the early dynasty.
Looking at the various measures and arrangements of the emperor in the past few days, Gao Shiming faintly felt that something important was about to happen.
"Companion, the Eastern Capture Army is very strong, and the ministers of the outer court have different opinions, and they are inconsistent. In your opinion, how should the decision be made? ”
Gao Shiming was speculating about the emperor's intentions recently, and there was an inquiry from Emperor Chongzhen in his ears.
"Don't worry, tell the truth."
Suddenly, when he heard the question raised by the emperor, Gao Shiming was a little hesitant, and Emperor Chongzhen added another sentence.
It seems that it will not work if he does not answer, Gao Shiming gritted his teeth, and forgot to be afraid, he raised his head and said seriously:
"The emperor, the old slave thinks that according to the current situation, the emperor might as well use thunderbolt means to gather a strong army, and then take advantage of the enemy's slackness to order a brave general to lead the army to attack the enemy.
In this way, even if you can't win a big victory, as long as you kill the enemy equally, you can frustrate the enemy's arrogance and boost the morale of the court.
In this way, the imperial court will be much more relaxed in the future. ”
"Otomo said it well."
As soon as Gao Shiming's words fell, Emperor Chongzhen praised loudly.
"Since ancient times, there have been tactics of war against the enemy, but there is no law. Only those who can fight can keep their words. If you can't fight, you will be more constrained by the enemy if you keep your word everywhere.
If we blindly avoid war, the enemy's arrogance will be higher and the morale of our army will be discouraged, and this is by no means a good strategy. When it comes to the battle, you have to fight bravely, and I am invincible. ”
Emperor Chongzhen held the dragon's head high, his fists clenched, and he was very heroic.
"The emperor is wise and wise, and what he sees is extremely true. In fact, the old slave was also moved because he witnessed the emperor's recent transfer. ”
Gao Shiming leaned over and said frankly.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, knowing that what Gao Shiming said was true.
As the eunuch in charge of the seal, every decree and holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen must be promulgated by Gao Shiming's hand, if he can't be aware, then it will not be his turn to sit in this position.
However, he can honestly say it himself, but not ordinary people can do it.
No wonder he can become the master of ceremonies, the first person in the inner court.
"Big companion, I am determined to let you replace Gao Qiqian as the commander of the world's soldiers and horses, cooperate with Lu Aiqing, attack the Tartars, and apply for national prestige, are you willing?"
The position of Gao Qiqian is quite important, ordinary people can't suppress the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Emperor Chongzhen took the senior personnel of the Fourth Division, the Eighth Bureau, and the Twelfth Prison of the Imperial Palace, and found that Gao Shiming was just right.
One is that he is loyal and steady. Second, he is in a high position and can deter the Guan Ning army.
"Emperor, the old slave really has no ability to lead soldiers, but now when the country is in danger, the old slave can only repay the emperor!
However, please rest assured that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, winning more and losing less, and has a great reputation.
The old slave must uphold the holy will of the emperor, control the proud soldiers of the Guanning Army, cooperate with Lu Du to fight, raise the prestige of our country, and live up to the emperor's ardent love! ”
Gao Shiming is worthy of being the master of ceremonies, and he has served Emperor Chongzhen for a long time, and he understands the holy will very thoroughly.
"My companion is loyal, I share my worries, and I am very comforted!"
Gao Shiming's words simply reached the bottom of Emperor Chongzhen's heart, and even said what he wanted to say next, what he really wanted to say was a talent.
In fact, in the land of China, the most important thing is talent.
As an emperor, as long as you select the right people, promote the right people to the right positions, escort them, endorse them, and let them do their best, that's it.
Now, that's what Emperor Chongzhen did.
"Otomo went to the Imperial Horse Prison to select some eunuchs who knew the military affairs, and replaced all the eunuchs under Gao Qiqian's name. In addition, Wu Sangui, deputy chief soldier of Ningyuan, will be transferred to your account to listen to the order. ”
Emperor Chongzhen instructed Gao Shiming with a smile, but his smile was a little meaningful.
"The emperor is thoughtful, and the old slave obeys the order!"
Gao Shiming replied respectfully.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, since he took up the post of the chief army of the world's soldiers and horses, the people under Gao Qiqian naturally had to be replaced by his own people.
This is the basic rule of officialdom.
Especially among eunuchs, even more so!
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen explained many problems to Gao Shiming for Guanning Tieqi.
Objectively speaking, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to build, has a vague tendency to be a warlord since it was in the hands of Yuan Dudu.
As time passed, they did not fight for loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, they actually fought for themselves.
The land of Liaoxi, the silver taels of the imperial court, they only fought for these two things.
It can be said that in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Guan Ning Tieqi is a hidden danger and a chronic disease of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the current situation of the great enemy, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not deal with it at this time, it would be too stupid.
Unless you are impatient to live.
Uniting all the forces that can be united to deal with Jiannu is something that Emperor Chongzhen has to consider now.
However, it is very necessary to lay out in advance and try to create good conditions for cleaning up in the future.
After all, although the Guanning Iron Cavalry at this time was not very obedient, he still obeyed the dispatch of the imperial court, and it was far from reaching the point where the imperial court had no money and did not obey orders in the later period.
To put it bluntly, there are still Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Sun Chuanting's Qin soldiers, and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is only one of the local troops at best.
Of course, there are more than 100,000 Beijing camps that are useless and useless, like embroidered pillows.
In other words, it is not the time for Guan Ning Tieqi to be self-respecting and greatly expanded.
The night was deep, and the lights in the palace gradually decreased, but the Qianqing Palace was still brightly lit, and Emperor Chongzhen and Gao Shiming's master and servant were still planning diligently.
