Chapter 291: Changing the Defense of Liaodong (II) Second Shift
Hiss!
Ning Xiu gasped.
Liaodong, Guangdong?
What kind of routine is this?
From his personal cognition, he hoped that Qi Jiguang would go to Liaodong. Because in a few decades, a tribe called the Jurchens would rise up and dominate Liaodong under the leadership of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.
If you look at history, you will know that Li Chengliang is unreliable.
Regardless of whether he subjectively colluded with the Jurchens, he couldn't run away from raising his own respect.
If it weren't for Li Chengliang's blind cover-up and connivance, how could the Jurchens rise rapidly and challenge such a huge empire as the Ming Dynasty?
In terms of personal desire to fight, Li Chengliang is obviously insufficient. He regarded Liaodong as his personal property and lacked the enterprising spirit that a general should have.
This can also be seen in the later Liaodong Shou generals Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui father and son.
And Qi Jiguang is obviously not such a person.
If Qi Jiguang can be transferred to Liaodong to replace the general soldier Li Chengliang, maybe the entire history will be rewritten......
As soon as he thought of this, Ning Xiu felt his blood boiling.
It's really exciting to think that he can become a person who can change history.
"Old Taishan, in my son-in-law's shallow view, it seems more suitable to go to Liaodong."
"Oh?"
Qi Jiguang stroked his beard and looked at Ning Xiu meaningfully.
"Let's talk about it."
He knew that his son-in-law was extremely thoughtful and looked at problems farther than ordinary people, so he wanted to listen to his thoughts.
"Old Mount Tai, Liaodong is no less important than Xuanda and Jizhen, and it is the key to my Ming Dynasty's containment of Tatars and Jurchens. If you want to protect the Beijing division, you must protect Liaodong. In comparison, Guangdong's importance is much less. β
Ning Xiu said in a deep voice.
"You say that the old Tatar man can understand, but Jurchen? Can they really make waves? β
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said disapprerovitically: "Ruqi (Li Chengliang's cousin) built the Kuandian Six Forts in the first year of Wanli, and guarded the exit of the Jurchens to the west. In the second year of Wanli, he led a large army to invade Gule Village and beheaded more than 1,000 levels. The mere Jurchens really don't have to worry about it. β
Ning Xiu was depressed in his heart, but he also knew that the Jurchens at this time were indeed not enough to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty.
Neither Wang Gao (Hitara Agu) nor his son Atai posed much of a threat to the Ming Dynasty. What is extremely interesting is that in the battle of Gulezhai in the second year of Wanli, Li Chengliang even captured Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi.
It's just that the status of these two people was very low and very inconspicuous at that time, so Li Chengliang didn't take it too seriously, and just kept him by his side as a slave.
But who would have thought that a few decades later, it would be Nurhachi, a young man, who integrated and unified the Jurchen tribes and became a big problem for the Ming Dynasty.
Every time he thought of this period of history, Ning Xiu felt very heartbroken.
Now there is an opportunity to change history at the source and snuff out Nurhachi and his dream of becoming the Central Plains in the cradle, so why not?
Ning Xiu took a deep breath and said: "Yincheng Gong (Li Chengliang's number) is certainly brave, but the Ming border generals have changed their guards more, and they have been in Liaodong for more than ten years, so it's time to change places." β
Ning Xiu said that it was indeed the truth. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the guard system collapsed, and the hereditary commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households were reduced to decorations. It is the general army and the deputy general (deputy general soldier) who really play the role of commanding the troops.
And Li Chengliang was born in Tieling, Liaodong, and has been with his parents since he was a child. In the first year of Longqing, he was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, and it has indeed been more than ten years since he commanded the army in Liaodong.
This is obviously not in line with the principle of changing the border generals of the Ming Dynasty.
In history, Li Chengliang rose and fell several times, all of which served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, because the Ming court relied on him.
Now, although Li Chengliang has run Liaodong well and has many descendants, it has not become his private property, and the town army is not monolithic.
At this time, the imperial court wanted to replace Li Chengliang, but it was just a matter of paper from the Ministry of War. In the last years of Wanli, Liao Town really became the private property of military generals.
Ning Xiu didn't know what the imperial court had for not transferring Li Chengliang to the ground, but he knew that if history was allowed to develop, then the rise of the Jurchens would be inevitable.
Qi Jiguang nodded thoughtfully.
"Ru Qi has indeed been working in Liaodong for a long time, but the imperial court does not issue orders, which is naturally due to the consideration of the imperial court. But the old man you said has written it down, and he will discuss it with Motofu. β
Ning Xiu was overjoyed in his heart.
He could see that Qi Jiguang really listened to what he said.
Only military generals can understand military generals, how can Qi Jiguang's shrewdness not see that Li Chengliang stayed in Liaodong for various reasons and wanted to run Liaodong as his own private property?
It's just that with his status and status, it is inconvenient to say it clearly, otherwise if he is used by someone with a heart, it can cause an uproar.
But Ning Xiu said that it was completely different.
Mo said that Ning Xiu is not an official now, or he has been awarded an official now, but there will be no problem in judging military attachΓ©s with civil official discussions.
Ning Xiu has now pointed to the point, and then Qi Jiguang will "relay" it to Zhang Juzheng, and no one can find fault with it.
Ning Xiu even felt that Qi Jiguang had deliberately called him over and asked him to say this.
If this is the case, the city of his old Taishan is really terrifying.
But then again, who can get to this point in the Ming officialdom is a fool?
Perhaps from the beginning, Qi Jiguang didn't want to go to Guangdong at all.
Moreover, Liaodong is closer to Beijing than Guangdong, and Qi Jiguang is obviously more willing to go to Liaodong.
"By the way, the old man heard that the virtuous son-in-law will try to get the eleventh place, what a great joy."
After chatting about business, Qi Jiguang's words changed abruptly, and he talked about Ning Xiu again.
Ning Xiu's heart said that the news of Lao Taishan was really well-informed, and he would try to release the list yesterday, and he would know it today.
He arched his hand at Qi Jiguang and said: "If you go back to Old Taishan, my son-in-law will be lucky enough to try the Chinese style, but it is thanks to the blessing of Old Taishan." β
Qi Jiguang pushed his hand and said, "Hey, this is obviously the blessing of the Buddha." That day, Ling'er went to Tanzhe Temple to make a wish to the Buddha, to ensure that you will try the Chinese style, the palace to try the Dengke, it seems to be a manifestation. β
Oh... It turned out that Ling'er went to Tanzhe Temple to make incense and make a wish for this matter that day......
Ning Xiu only felt a warmth in his heart.
Although this matter was said indirectly through the mouth of Old Taishan, Ning Xiu was still very excited.
"Ling'er, she ......"
"Well, your marriage is scheduled for May, and then the government is almost over, and you have time."
The scholars who will try to make the list will definitely try to enter the department in the palace, which meets Qi Jiguang's previous conditions for Ning Xiu and Qi Ling'er to get engaged, so Qi Jiguang can set a wedding date in advance.
