Chapter 720: Calculating Zheng Zhilong
Zheng Guochang extremely despised Dongnu's ridiculous discordant scheme, and while he comforted the emperor, he also had to speak up for his son-in-law, and said in a high voice:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much, the old minister dares to use his life as a guarantee, and the general will not rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
The Huang family and Jiannu do not share the sky, and they will not join forces with those beasts to attack the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that there are countless examples of rabbits and dead dogs cooking in history, and the general is a thoughtful person, and he certainly will, and has to think about his future. ”
These words are even more unpleasant, they are simply a naked slap in the face, pointing to the fact that the heavenly family will turn their faces ruthlessly, if Huang Han does not have a foresight, the future will definitely be miserable.
Emperor Chongzhen looked embarrassed, even if he had no intention of killing Huang Han, he also saved the idea of leaving Huang Han in Beijing after depriving Huang Han of his military power in the future, so that Huang Han and his family could enjoy glory and wealth, and they could not let him leave the capital.
He Ru said: "The matter has come to this point, the old minister thinks that His Majesty and the general should be honest with each other, and my Ming monarch and ministers only need to work with one heart and one mind, and the treacherous plan of Dongnu will be self-defeating." ”
Chongzhen said tentatively: "I wonder if I want to summon the general to enter Beijing, and then I will have a long talk with him......
Zheng Guochang saw that the emperor was about to make a faint move, so he interrupted in time: "No, no, at this sensitive moment, we must not make it worse."
Your Majesty can inform the old minister of the content of the long conversation and heart-to-heart with the general of the conquest, and the old minister hurried to Zhangjiakou to tell him, at this time, it is best not to let the general of the conquest run back and forth in his busy schedule! ”
Even Wen Tiren, who is good at figuring out the holy will, doesn't know what Chongzhen is going to do, and he can't guarantee that this ruthless emperor doesn't care about it like he did back then.
If the emperor took the means of taking Wei Zhongxian and taking the life of the old eunuch to deal with the captured generals, things would develop like that, then the Ming Dynasty would be ruined.
As a lesson from the past, Dongjiang Town wronged the island handsome Mao Wenlong, which was not the emperor's intention, but the criminal governor Yuan Chonghuan's own opinion.
Dongjiang Town suddenly fell apart, causing Denglai and even the Shandong Peninsula to be destroyed, causing direct economic losses of tens of millions of taels of silver, and directly and indirectly killing tens of millions of soldiers and civilians.
In case the emperor directly kills the general of the conquest, I am afraid that more than half of the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" will openly rebel, and it is really hard to say whether they will join forces with Dongnu to fight the Ming Dynasty at that time!
In order to maintain the existing balance, Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the war is about to begin, and there are so many things to do, Your Majesty really does not need to suddenly summon the general at this time.
Do you still remember that the imperial court summoned the ancestors to celebrate their birthdays three times, and the servants who entered Beijing to discuss salaries were like stones sinking into the sea? The past must never be repeated. ”
Seeing that no one supported the recruitment of the general into Beijing, Chongzhen could only give up, and he actually didn't think about what he should do after Huang Han was edicted to enter Beijing?
Buckle him? The uproar of the ministers can be imagined. The five-year Pingliao plan will certainly be shelved indefinitely.
How can the proud soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" be willing to defend the border for the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind? Will they raise troops and come to the city of Beijing to admonish them and force the imperial court to return the captured generals?
At this time, Chongzhen had no intention of killing Huang Han at all, because Chongzhen was actually an honest man, not a conspirator, nor a mature politician, and a completely incompetent emperor.
He has a clear conscience and thinks that he is not the Song Gaozong Zhao Gou who unjustly killed Yue Fei.
Huang Han's outstanding meritorious service, the strength of the soldiers and horses, so that Chongzhen can not sleep, as long as Huang Han Chongzhen can be controlled, he will feel satisfied, thinking that killing is a great merit and the country's Huang Han is not tolerated.
The platform discussion was inconclusive, the ministers opposed the summoning of Huang Han into Beijing, Chongzhen wanted to take a risk and detain Huang Han to gamble on the "Red Flag Army" without rebellion.
Emperor Chongzhen was extremely depressed, it was a foregone conclusion that the ministers were strong and the lords were weak, and now the imperial court had to look at the face of the general, and Chongzhen, who had always been proud and conceited, was full of loss.
A few days later, Yang Sichang, Zhang Fengyi, and Liang Tingdong arrived in Beijing, and dozens of important ministers played on the platform again.
Yang Sichang and Zhang Fengyi briefed the emperor on the preparations for the spring offensive, and also told the results of Shanxi, Xuanda and Anmin's maintenance of cities and passes.
Immediately afterwards, he proposed to immediately requisition the Fujian Navy Division Zheng Zhilong's Division, and stated that the Fujian Navy Division must dispatch more than 50 large war ships to participate in the delivery of troops to Korea to transport military supplies.
The emperor did not say no, because Zheng Zhilong was just a coastal defense guerrilla of the Fujian Navy Division, and his official position was too small, and Chongzhen almost forgot that there was still this person in the Ming Dynasty.
But many ministers were so angry that they snorted.
Daming's Yulu is very funny, which directly leads to the possibility that if you are not corrupt, you may be so poor that buying two catties of meat like Hai Rui is a luxury, and even the concubine feels that she has nothing to love, so she hangs herself directly.
Therefore, the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty do not know how many, and many members of the imperial court are quite beneficial in Fujian, and everyone knows where these filial piety comes from.
The hateful Huang Han has just cut off the financial routes of many adults in Shanxi and Xuanda, and now he is directly intending to cut off the benefits of Fujian, which is unbearable!
Just when someone was about to object, Zhang Fengyi spoke: "Your Majesty, when the old minister served as the secretary of the military department, I knew that Zheng Zhilong would give a lot of filial piety to many ministers every year, including the old minister.
But today, the old minister wants to advise all his colleagues to put state affairs first, and it is a national plan to level Liao in five years, and transfer Zheng Zhilong to aid Liao to benefit the country and the people. ”
Liang Tingdong endorsed Zhang Fengyi at this time, and he said: "Zheng Zhilong has been in Fujian for too long, and he should have been transferred to Liaohai to fight against Dongnu a long time ago.
The reason why the imperial court has such an intention but has not been implemented for a long time is because some adults use people's money to eliminate disasters for others and deliberately hinder it.
Your Majesty could have ascertained whether the ministers who came out to oppose this matter at this time were in close proximity to Fujian.
The old minister suggested that His Majesty must listen more to the opinions of those ministers who have nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong, because the opinions given by those who have no entanglement of interests are pertinent. ”
Chongzhen didn't expect that the two important ministers who were abandoned by him were so responsible now, and their performance was so targeted, why didn't they do things as simply as they do now when they served as the secretary of the military department?
Wen Tiren, of course, wanted to show that he was a lonely minister at this time, an honest and honest first assistant, he said:
"Your Majesty, the old minister has never been right about things and people, and because his popularity is too poor, he can't receive filial piety.
It is reasonable for the general to ask the imperial court to recruit and transfer the coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Zhilong to aid Liao, and it should be supported, and the imperial court should also provide him with an opportunity to make contributions to the imperial court for eight years.
Thinking that he plundered Fujian and Guangdong back then, causing tens of thousands of casualties among the Ming soldiers and civilians and officials, the imperial court was not to blame in the past, and at this time he should do his best to serve the imperial court. ”
