Chapter 12: Two Birds with One Stone
Chapter 12: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
…… First of all, I apologize, because of my shallow knowledge, I always thought that Duoyan Sanwei was a Jurchen, and I was ashamed for three minutes. Today, Du Niang, suddenly found that the three guards of Jianzhou were the Jurchen people. Because it's a VIP chapter, the previous ones won't be changed for the time being, and I'll wait for the time during the day to communicate with the editor before modifying it. Amen, pray that the gods will forgive this poor writer......
Looking at Yu Dayou's current appearance, it is clear that he still does not treat the two separately. And Li Chengliang's carelessness of the enemy this time led to a fiasco, in the final analysis, he also held this idea, thinking that he was able to deal with various situations with the elite of Liaodong Town.
You can't eat the same loss twice, and looking at Yu Dayou's current demeanor, this guy is even more arrogant than Li Chengliang. The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and this time he can't be allowed to lead the troops to fight no matter what, otherwise it will be really dangerous. Moreover, I haven't led troops to hang out for a long time, and this time I also went abroad to fight, so I really can't hold back the itch in my heart.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" In the blink of an eye, Shen Chongming still decided to take this errand into his hands. Although the teacher repeatedly warned himself not to bother with the affairs of the army, but this time Li Chengliang's defeat in North Korea has made the matter of saving the subject country more serious, if he does not kill the spirit of the little devils, I am afraid that it will not be long before they cross the Yalu River to fight. In order to allow the war to spread to its own territory, it is better to settle the matter directly in North Korea.
And I have a faint idea in the past few days, maybe I can get rid of a big scourge in this battle. Leave this matter to someone else, and it is better to do it yourself than to pursue it.
Seeing that Shen Chongming finally moved, Emperor Longqing smiled again, this kid finally couldn't help it. "Aiqing has something to say."
"Emperor Qiqi, Weichen thinks that sending troops to North Korea again has more to do with it, not only about the restoration of North Korea, but also about the safety of our Ming land. Therefore, not only must we be cautious in the selection of generals, but we also need to plan carefully in the allocation of troops. ”
"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to you, I wonder if Shen Aiqing is willing to accept this errand? Emperor Longqing asked with a smile. I was also happy in my heart, compared to Yu Dayou, or Shen Aiqing would do things.
Without waiting for Gao Gong to speak, Shen Chongming hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister's decree!" ”
Gao Gong was dumbfounded, Yu Dayou was also dumbfounded, and the courtiers were even more dumbfounded. This Shen Chongming is amazing, and he pressed this errand on his head in a few words, but it is several times stronger than Yu Dayou who boasted about himself there for a long time.
Yu Dayou's face turned cloudy, and his eyes were full of unkindness when he looked at Shen Chongming. Sure enough, as others said, this Shen Chongming is really a villain, he just stated it truthfully, and he used such a means to snatch the errand into his own hands. Let himself not lose face and fall second, with his little ability, how can he be the opponent of the Japanese Kou? It's really a treacherous minister who puts the interests of the court at risk for his own selfish interests!
Speaking of Gao Gong, I originally knew that this kid was going to be a moth again when I saw Shen Chongming speak. After several preparations, what he was waiting for was that as soon as Emperor Longqing's voice fell, he opposed Shen Chongming leading the troops to fight, but he didn't expect that this stinky boy was also letting himself go, and the simple word "command" would definitely turn this matter into a certainty, so that he had no way to oppose it at all.
The two of them sang and settled the matter, and there was naturally no need for this court meeting to continue, and with Chen Hong singing, Emperor Longqing got up and left.
It's still the old rules, and before he went far, Chen Hong chased after him. "Lord Shen, please stay, the emperor has something to summon."
Hurried to the Heart Cultivation Palace, only to find that several ministers of the cabinet were also there. "Hehe, Shen Aiqing, tell me about your plan." Emperor Longqing couldn't wait to ask.
Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng and the others also set their eyes on him, but they wanted to see what good way this Shen Chongming could deal with the current battle situation.
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have any plans, it's just that Li Chengliang lost for a while, and naturally he can't lose again this time. Therefore, he also asked the emperor to order the deployment of elite soldiers to settle the battle and not give the Japanese the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it. "Shen Chongming's plan is a bit lacking in morality, so naturally he can't say it in front of these old people in the cabinet, otherwise they will definitely resolutely oppose it.
There was no plan, which made Emperor Longqing inevitably a little disappointed. The same is true of Gao Gong, who curses in his heart. This bastard boy, since he doesn't have a good way to destroy the enemy, what are you doing in this matter, isn't this a waste of time.
"In that case, then you go back first to draw up a charter, and then how many soldiers and horses are needed to come to me." Emperor Longqing cleaned up his mood and said.
Shen Chongming raised his head and quietly blinked his eyes twice, then lowered his head and retreated. After cooperating with the emperor for so long, he must be able to understand the meaning of his eyes.
Since Shen Chongming didn't have a plan, there was no point in the elders of the cabinet staying. He said some things about each department without pain or itching, and then bowed down and retired.
"Chen Hong, go and recruit Shen Chongming. Remember, don't let anyone else know. As soon as everyone left, Emperor Longqing turned his head and ordered. Shen Aiqing would never blink at herself for no reason, maybe this guy had something to whisper to herself.
Chen Hong couldn't help but be stunned, didn't he just leave, why did he summon him again? However, he didn't dare to ask what Emperor Longqing thought, so he bowed down and chased him out with small steps.
At this time, Shen Chongming hid not far from the palace, watching Gao Gong and the others leave one by one, and knew that Chen Hong would chase him out soon.
"Ah, Lord Shen, why are you here?" Looking at Shen Chongming, who suddenly appeared and stopped his sedan chair, Chen Hong, who poked his head out, couldn't help but wonder.
Without Shen Chongming's explanation, Chen Hong immediately understood, it seems that this is a little secret between the emperor and him again, this guy's holy family is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Shen Aiqing, tell me about your plan." Emperor Longqing asked with great interest, since he deliberately concealed it from others, this plan must be a bit interesting.
"The emperor's discerning eyes, this little bit of caution of Weichen will never escape your eyes." Xiao Xiao slapped a sycophant, and Shen Chongming said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, but he lacks some gentlemanly demeanor. ”
"For the interests of the court, don't want this gentleman's demeanor, you just say it." Emperor Longqing said very arrogantly. What kind of gentlemanly demeanor, can that thing be eaten as a meal?
Shen Chongming smiled obscenely, stepped forward a few steps and whispered: "Your Majesty, although Li Chengliang's defeat this time was unexpected by the imperial court, it has to be said that it is a matter beneficial to the imperial court. As soon as he died, the situation in the entire Kanto region was in chaos, and now was a great time for the imperial court to take full control of the Kanto! ”
"Well, you have a point. It's just a pity that the 20,000 soldiers, after all, are all members of the court. Moreover, this time the loss of troops and generals, the power of the imperial court in the Kanto region is not as good as before, if you don't quickly dispatch troops and horses to garrison, I am afraid that the three guards of Jianzhou will make trouble again. Emperor Longqing said with some worry, this matter is much more important than sending troops to North Korea.
"So Weichen thinks that since the imperial court still wants to mobilize a large army to send troops to North Korea, then take this opportunity to solve the three guards of Jianzhou together to prevent future troubles!" Shen Chongming said murderously, this is a great thing that will benefit the future.
Emperor Longqing first nodded to express his agreement with Shen Chongming's thoughts, and then said helplessly: "I don't know this, but the strength of the three guards in Jianzhou should not be underestimated, and if you want to deal with the Japanese invaders, you can't do it without 100,000 soldiers and horses." At present, although the imperial court is a lot richer, the foundation is still unstable, and it is good if it is successfully won, but once it is delayed for a long time, it will not be good. ”
"Hehehe, the emperor can rest assured, Weichen's plan is to solve this problem." Shen Chongming said with a smile.
Emperor Longqing was stunned, and then patted his forehead with a wry smile. "Look, you're getting in again, tell me your plan so I can hear it."
"Your Majesty, the people of Jianzhou Sanwei are fierce and all the people are soldiers, which is why the imperial court has repeatedly done nothing to deal with him. Therefore, if you want to get rid of this scourge, it is really time-consuming and laborious to rely on the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army alone, so Weichen wanted to kill people with a knife to get rid of this scourge. Shen Chongming's eyes did not blink, and he eagerly wanted to know what Emperor Longqing thought of this plan.
Emperor Longqing frowned, but he didn't understand the meaning of Shen Chong's famous words. "Murder with a knife? Whose knife to borrow? ”
"Joseon!" This time Shen Chongming's voice was lowered, you must know that North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, although it is a small role for mercenary, but it has always been respectful to the court, and the courtiers also have a good impression of it. Once the news of his plan to implicate him gets out, it is really a thousand people's fingers.
Emperor Longqing was even more puzzled. It's not because North Korea is its own vassal country, but in the impression of all, North Korea has always been weak, and using his sword to deal with the fierce Jianzhou Sanwei is a sheep's mouth. "Shen Aiqing, can this be done?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this time the troops sent to North Korea Weichen decided to bring the men and horses of the three guards of Jianzhou with them, and then they will be weakened by the Japanese invaders, and then handed over to the people and horses of the Korean State. If it doesn't work, then the army of the court will go out again, although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the danger of others, but it must be a matter of benefit for the future, this unkind and unjust crime, Weichen will bear it! Shen Chongming said with a resolute expression, with a fearless look, but Emperor Longqing was not lightly moved, and Shen Aiqing was still so wholeheartedly thinking about the interests of the country.
"That's not necessary, everything is up to you." Shen Chong's name and righteousness come first, and Emperor Longqing is not the kind of mean person, so naturally he will not let him be wronged. "Aiqing, it's just that the three guards of Jianzhou are not fools, I'm afraid that this strategy of killing people with a knife can't hide them, how do you say that the people of Jianzhou Sanwei are involved in this?"
"Your Majesty, everything can't escape the word profit. Let's borrow a knife to kill people, and the same is true for letting the three guards of Jianzhou send troops, as long as they are given enough benefits, they will definitely send troops. Shen Chongming said indifferently, interests are the first priority, but not everyone can keep their sanity.
"Well, that's reasonable, as long as the three guards of Jianzhou agree to send troops, I will agree to any conditions!" Emperor Longqing boasted of Haikou, and for a while he was gearing up, vowing to get rid of the trouble of Jianzhou Sanwei, a henchman.
"It's not necessary, otherwise Jianzhou Sanwei will really conclude that we have bad intentions. They have to bargain with them, and only then can they feel profitable. ”
"Uh-huh, it makes sense, it makes sense." Emperor Longqing continued to nod, "Since you already have a plan, then you are solely responsible for this matter, and you will tell me when you have the news." ”
Wechen obeyed. However, I hope that the emperor will keep this matter secret, and you must not let others know, otherwise there will be many people and it is very likely that the news will be revealed. "It is said that this can be regarded as a big disrespectful word, but Emperor Longqing is in a good mood and doesn't care.
"Okay, don't worry, your mouth is in my ears, and others don't want to know." Emperor Longqing patted his chest and promised, but he didn't pay attention to Chen Hong's bitter gourd face.
"Yes, then Weichen will retire." Shen Chongming bowed and bowed, pouting and slowly retreating.
