Chapter 903: It's important to take sides

Hanzi said loudly: "Brothers here, Liu Zaiqi has grown a lot!" Knowing that he drew inferences from one case and knew gratitude, the official began to like him.

Brother Liu Zaiqi, you can also write about me, I think that when I was in my hometown in Jiulitai, my family had nothing and couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, and a damn matchmaker actually wanted to introduce a stupid girl to me.

However, since Brother Han came back to take me into the army, I have been unable to take it away, and now I have become an official residence, and it is unknown that he will be crowned a marquis. ”

Huang Han stood up and walked to Hanzi's side, patted him on the thick shoulder, and said: "Hanzi, you are the Monkey King in Journey to the West, and it is natural to become a fighting Buddha, why not be a prince and a marquis in the future?" ”

There was thunderous applause again, and the banquet suddenly entered a climax, and many generals who started their careers began to recall how they were depressed in the past, lamenting how proud they are now, and then one sentence became a classic: "With the right person, even if you are as stupid as a pig, you can become a Buddha!" ”

Liu Zaiqi was even more excited, he had always been extremely inferior in front of the first fierce general of the "Red Banner Army", and Hanzi had never looked at him squarely.

Today, Hanzi calls him Brother Liu Zaiqi, which is a recognition of him and an acceptance of him.

That night, the argument of following the right person and choosing the right camp was published in the "Red Flag Daily" in a number of articles by Jinxiu, which contained profound philosophical ideas in humor and inspired too many people, including the Gong Gong Zhugong who was playing the right role in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that no one spoke, Chongzhen, who was slightly tired, asked in a hoarse voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 'King of Hanjiang County' has led tens of thousands of horses to stay in Tongzhou for five days, why is this?" ”

At this time, the cabinet ministers in the court changed again, and Liu Yuliang, the first assistant who had only worked for half a year, was dismissed, and Xue Guoguan, a native of Shaanxi, took over as the first assistant.

This Shoufu is also a Wen party, but his talent is too much worse than Wen Tiren, he is also more greedy, and he has done a lot of things to sell his official beard.

He had already taken out 100,000 taels of silver to participate in the investment in the steel plant, and the day before yesterday he secretly went to Tongzhou to meet Huang Han.

Of course, it was not for nothing that Huang Han led a large army to be stationed in Tongzhou, not only to put pressure on Chongzhen and challenge the imperial power, but also to give the civil and military generals who were willing to take refuge in him a chance to get close to each other.

If you want to achieve great things, you must have the amount of tolerance for people, and it is even more difficult to win for a moral gentleman, and the so-called moral gentleman can only be set as an example, and nine times out of ten it is a waste.

Besides, those who do well as officials and play politics are human spirits, how can they be moral gentlemen?

A moral gentleman can only do learning, and only those who can play with others can play politics.

For example, an unethical and greedy villain like Xue Guoguan took the initiative to take refuge, of course Huang Han couldn't turn him away, and hypocrisy and grievances were indispensable.

Seeing that the emperor asked, dozens of important ministers did not say anything, Xue Guoguan had no choice but to go out and play: "Your Majesty, the minister learned that the 'King of Hanjiang County' was staying in Tongzhou, so he specially rushed to take a look.

I also chatted with several generals of the 'Red Banner Army', I guess they are waiting for His Majesty's reward! ”

Xue Guoguan's words are true, Huang Han thinks that he has made outstanding achievements, and he and his generals should be rewarded by the imperial court.

Because if it weren't for the "Red Banner Army" to turn the tide, Jiannu entered the army on September 22, the 11th year of Chongzhen, and Manchu generals such as Dolgon and Yue Tuo commanded tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to sack the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty again.

Wu Aheng, the governor of Ji and Liao, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuan and the great governor, hundreds of civil officials and military generals were killed in battle, and the Qing army was like entering a no-man's land, plundering all the way, until Shandong, and laying down the prosperous city of Linqingzhou by the canal.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Jiannu broke through the city of Jinan and captured Zhu Youshu, the king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cili, the king of the county, and Zhu Ensheng, the general of Fengguo.

This time, the Qing army entered the customs for half a year, penetrated 2,000 miles into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and captured one prefecture, three prefectures, fifty-five counties, and two passes.

Killed more than 100 people below the two governors of the Ming Dynasty and above the garrison, captured more than 460,000 people, seized gold, silver, and countless treasures, and killed millions of soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the appearance of the Huang Han, the land of Gyeonggi today is really the first good area at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment.

Huang Han, who has the thinking of modern people, did not regard the title as a gift from the emperor, but led thousands of soldiers to earn it by shedding blood and sweat.

Huang Han, who has made great contributions to the country, has saved millions or tens of millions of Han people in these years, and deserves the title of "King of Han".

However, Emperor Chongzhen buckled the rope and delayed the canonization, which made Huang Han feel very unhappy.

This time, the troops in Tongzhou knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and it was also a show of martial arts and prestige, and by the way, he took the title of "King of Han" into his pocket, which once again weakened Chongzhen's prestige.

It is no longer convincing to talk about the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, because the canonization of the "King of Hanjiang County" has long broken through the shackles of the opposite sex not being crowned kings.

Huang Han believed that as long as the troops did not leave, Chongzhen, who was afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, was destined to choose to compromise, and he also talked vaguely about this topic with some of the officials who came to visit.

Of course, Xue Guoguan knows in his heart, in the officialdom, it is very important to stand in line, and when he plays right, he is not afraid that the emperor will be unhappy and tell the truth.

When Chao Shoufu actually admitted in front of himself that he had specially gone to Tongzhou to meet Huang Han, Chongzhen's face was noncommittal.

Seeing that Shoufu seemed to be cold after speaking, in order to avoid embarrassment, the cabinet minister Cheng Guoxiang played:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the meritorious soldiers should be rewarded to reassure them, and the thief has been detained in Zhao Prison for more than a month, and it is time to execute the order on how to deal with it."

In the morning, I read the "Red Flag Daily" and realized that there was a reference to "pigs can become Buddhas", and Cai Guoyong, a cabinet minister, said: "Your Majesty, only clear rewards and punishments can motivate soldiers to serve the country. ”

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and asked, "How to reward meritorious civil and military generals, can the cabinet have a charter?" ”

Xue Guoguan said: "The relevant personnel of meritorious service have been agreed, and the canonization of Huangyi Prefecture Dingliao Earl and Yang Dalang Pingliao Earl has been unanimously recognized, and the cabinet vetoed Song Pengfei and Yang Danian's request for knighthood, but how to reward the 'King of Hanjiang County' has to be decided by His Majesty." ”

Chongzhen's face sank like water, and he muttered in his mouth: "Coveting the title of King of Han? Could it be that the 'King of Hangang County' is so impatient? ”

These words were harsh, Zheng Guochang, who was still pretending to be an old monk, heard it with anger in his heart, his son-in-law led the "Red Flag Army" to fight in the north and south with outstanding achievements, how did he become a coveted prince, isn't this deserved?

No, you must correct your son-in-law's name, thinking of this, Zheng Guochang went out and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth in the court, he accused the emperor of saying the wrong thing, and no one dared to do so in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it often happened in the Ming Dynasty, and Hai Rui was famous for scolding the emperor.
