Chapter 405: I've made up my mind
On June 21, unexpectedly, a holy decree arrived at the imperial court.
There are three holy decrees, which are given to Zheng Chenggong, Lin Xiao and Qu Shiyun respectively.
Perhaps it is because Lianchengbi of Guangdong has been delivering the Jietang newspaper to the imperial court, and Nanning has learned the news that the whole territory of Guangdong and Fujian has been generally pacified, so that the Yongli Emperor must brush up on his sense of existence.
The two holy decrees issued to Zheng Chenggong and Lin Xiao actually have no substantive content, except for a word of encouragement and encouragement, it is nothing more than a promotion to an official.
However, Qu Shiyun smelled a different flavor from it, Yongli Jin Feng Lin Xiao was named the Duke of Zhenguo, and at the same time, he ordered Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County, to be the "recruiting general".
Lin Xiao naturally didn't know anything about the mysteries of officialdom in this era, and he wasn't interested in it at all, but Qu Shiyun knew the deep meaning very well.
Since the abolition of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Left Governor and the Right Governor of the official rank have been the highest positions of military generals, and these two positions have been awarded to Sun Kewang, the king of Qin, and Lin Xiao, the Hou of Qinchuan, respectively last year.
However, after the rebellion of Sun Kewang, the governor of the left capital, was killed, the imperial court preferred to vacate it rather than transfer it to Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Lin Xiao, the governor of the right capital, can be said to be the only highest military position at present.
It can be seen that under the auspices of Qu Shiyun, the military department of the imperial court is more cautious about the appointment of the highest military position.
Originally, according to the ancestral system, these two military positions actually have no great power, usually only the right to lead the army and no right to transfer troops, since the Yongle Dynasty, when there is really a need for the general to lead the army, most of the imperial court temporarily appointed a lord as the commander of the army, and then return to the military power after the victory, and then return to the military power, on meritorious deeds, add officials to the knight.
Of course, now is an extraordinary period, and the small court can't take care of it so much, anyway, it's all people's private arms, and they don't dare to hope for anything to transfer troops, anyway, they just beg others to sell their lives, how good it sounds and how to seal it, so the lord can be sealed very high, but the post of general can't be messed around, so as not to aggravate the chaos.
Guogong, the originally noble title, has already been spoiled by the short-lived monarchs of the Southern Ming Dynasty at this time, and it is worthless, so it can be given casually.
The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was at the end of the road, has been crowned dozens of princes since the beginning of the Hongguang Dynasty, and at present, under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Guangjin, there are as many as seven or eight people who have entered the palace.
The prince has sealed a lot, what is the prince?
But now, the imperial court has made Lin Xiao the Duke of Zhenguo, although he still retains his title of general of the country, but he has not given a higher position, such as the general of Zhenguo who can command the national army, but instead named Zheng Chenggong as the general of the recruitment, what does this mean?
It is true that Qu Shiyun knows that according to the ancestral system of this dynasty, the general of Zhenguo cannot be appointed at will, and generally only the royal family has the opportunity to hold this position, but the Northern Expedition is imminent, what does it mean to have so many parallel generals?
Originally, although he was the king of Yanping, Zheng Chenggong, the "national surname lord" in a corner, his real military position was only a governor and a fellow governor, but now, the court knew that Lin Xiao and Zheng Chenggong were in one place, but they still wanted Zheng Chenggong to be a general, didn't this clearly want Zheng Chenggong to fight against Lin Xiao?
"This is, I'm afraid that Lin Zheng and the others get along too well, and they intend to divide and dissolve?"
Qu Shiyun was worried......
As for the holy decree that Qu Shiyun himself received, the content was very simple to urge him to go back and discuss the return of the matter.
However, the tone of the words in the holy decree is not so polite, as a cabinet elder, and as a secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, he does not stay in the court, and all the affairs are handled by the squire and others, which is simply not like words!
Now that Fujian and Guangdong have been decided, the displaced people are gradually separating, I miss you, Aiqing come back quickly, let's discuss the matter!
Emperor Yongli finally felt that Nanning was too poor and that it was time to return to Zhaoqing, his land of Longxing.
Zheng Chenggong agreed with the return of the capital, and when the imperial court returned to Guangdong, he was closer to the center of power, and he was no longer out of reach.
As for Lin Xiao's attitude, he was relatively indifferent, the suggestion was mentioned before, go back to Zhaoqing, go back to Nanjing as you like, if you can afford to wait, it doesn't matter if you go directly to Beijing, anyway, in the future, the so-called imperial court is just a signboard.
Now it seems that it has become a habit for this young emperor and his close ministers to not have the courage to escape from Nanjing, for fear of being too close to the front line!
……
After sending Qu Shiyun and Qin Cha away, Zheng Chenggong took the opportunity to gather a group of generals around him and discussed the expedition.
However, as soon as they mentioned that they were going to war with the Dutch, the generals were embarrassed and kept silent one by one.
"Wu Hao, tell me your opinion."
Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong had to point out.
This subordinate general named Wu Hao had been to Dayuan and was familiar with the situation there, Zheng Chenggong wanted to hear his opinion, maybe he would agree with this matter.
"Lord Wang, the big man is a remote island, feng shui is indispensable, and the water and soil are sick......"
Unexpectedly, Wu Hao lowered his head and frowned, and hesitated for a long time before he hesitated, "What's more, the harbor there is a small beach and shallow, and it is difficult for big ships to enter, so I am afraid that it will ......."
"Yes, Lord Wang,"
Seeing this, Admiral Huang Shan also echoed in a loud voice, "At present, the Tartars are powerful, and the country has not recovered, and the general thinks that the lonely overseas soldiers are not the direction ......of our army's operation."
"At present, although Fujian has been decided, the bandits are serious and the people's livelihood is difficult, so it is not appropriate to send elite troops to the sea......"
"Yes, our army is still less than 30,000, and the elite is only more than 10,000 people, and the Northern Expedition is still not able to catch ......the thieves.
Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was silent, the generals gradually agreed......
"What you said makes sense, at present, the people are short of food and food, and the supply of grain and grass in the army is becoming more and more difficult, so it is really not appropriate to make a big move,"
Seeing that most of the people were negative, Zheng Chenggong pondered for a moment and refuted, "However, have you ever thought about it...... If we drive out the Dutch bandits, not only can we get a large amount of rice and grain from the generals, but also the sea trade will be smoother, will it not be beneficial to the growth of our army? ”
"What the prince said is reasonable,"
The general Ma Xin figured out Zheng Chenggong's mind and tried to play a round, "The last general suggested that we send someone to test it first, and if it is desirable, the army will immediately follow up, and if the Dutch defense is strong, then discuss it separately......"
"General Ma has a point."
Senior General Chen Feng also agreed with Ma Xin's opinion.
"No,"
Yang Chaodong, the assistant military manager of the army, had a different opinion, he arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, now that the army is winning at the beginning and the morale is booming, where can the thousands of Dutch people stop the prestige of our army, the last general thinks that he can send troops." ”
"Lord Wang, the last general also thinks that troops should be sent,"
At this time, Shi Lang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "Our army has a great victory over Yu Wei, and with the help of the Marquis of Qinchuan, we can level the big man with only the soldiers and horses of the center and left." ”
Among the people present, Shi Lang knows Zheng Chenggong's mind the best, and the gunpowder bag is in hand, how can he not go on the expedition? He stayed to speak at critical moments, just to make the final decision.
"Okay, Shi Lang's words are exactly what I want."
Zheng Chenggong nodded when he heard this.
Seeing that the commander had made up his mind, the generals no longer stood up for their opinions, and Chen Feng of Liwu Town, Liao Jing of the Right Pioneer Town, Guo Ting of Qinding Town, and Hong Chengchong of the Right Town of the Guards expressed their support for sending troops.
"I have made up my mind, and I will send troops immediately,"
Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Who dares to be a pioneer?" ”
"The last general asks for an order, and he is willing to be a striker!"
Shi Lang jumped up and took the lead.
