Chapter 719: Precarious
Seeing that all the eunuchs didn't think that the matter of transferring Zheng Zhilong was so great, and said that they would definitely handle this matter when they returned to Beijing, Huang Han was very happy and said:
"Your Excellency attaches great importance to state affairs, and this lord is inscribed with five feelings, and today I will prepare a little wine and get drunk with all the princes!"
After listening to the lecture of the family leader today, the young guards learned that the principle of the hot air balloon that will be lifted into the air after the flying army is the same thing as the Kong Ming lantern.
The passionate teenager quickly made hundreds of Kong Ming lanterns, and as soon as it was dark, the Kong Ming lanterns were lit and lifted into the air one after another, and dozens of them were burned due to loss of balance.
The civil officials and military generals who were drinking in Xingyuan saw that it was so strange in the sky and ran out to watch, Yang Sichang saw that several disciples of the general were arguing about something, and he also listened to a few words, and vaguely heard the word "flying army", and was puzzled.
He had a strong thirst for knowledge, and hurriedly asked Huang Angdao, who he knew: "I don't know what the situation of the 'flying army' that a few people are talking about?" Is it a new branch of the 'Red Banner Army'? ”
This seems to be a military secret, I'm afraid I can't talk about it, Huang Ang didn't speak, and looked at his brother inquiringly.
Huang Han said with a smile: "Lord Yang is his own person, so there is no need to hide it." ”
Seeing that his brother agreed, Huang Ang explained the principle of the flight of Kong Ming lanterns, and as long as they were big enough, the hot air balloon similar to Kong Ming lanterns would definitely be able to carry the "flying army" to the sky.
It is entirely possible to throw "10,000 enemies" and "earth-shaking thunder" at the enemy troops on the ground from the sky.
Many civil officials and military generals who heard it felt too childish and laughed it off, but Yang Sichang fell into deep thought, he thought that the possibility of realization may not exist.
When I returned to the hall for a drink, many officials were discussing the feasibility of the "flying army", and there was a heated debate between those who thought it was possible and those who thought it was a joke.
The "Flying Army" is still in the pipeline, but it has become a topic of conversation at the wine table, making a large group of civilian officials and military generals argue.
Huang Han didn't try to explain anything, although there is no problem with the principle, but it always takes a year to make a product and conduct a lot of experiments to see the quality and stability of the hot air balloon before it can be conclusive.
Fortunately, Huang Han sent Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Yang Sichang, Zheng Zhihui, Wu Xiang and more than a dozen civil and military generals to Beijing to face the saint.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to tear my face with Chongzhen immediately, because Chongzhen has the idea of recalling Huang Han.
And when Huang Han left Jingshi the year before last, he swore that unless he became the master here, he would no longer be able to put himself in a dangerous situation of being slaughtered by others.
The emperor ordered to summon him, and Huang Han must have found a reason to prevaricate and not go to Beijing, and the premature turning of the monarch and ministers was not conducive to the next big war.
Shengdou Xiaomin only cares about food and clothing, but in fact, he doesn't care who is the emperor.
The feudal emperors needed to rule the world with the scholars, and they could not do without the civil bureaucracy, and often the emperor would choose to compromise the face of the scholars.
Even the Wanli Emperor, who had reached the pinnacle of imperial scheming, had to establish Zhu Changluo, who was favored by the civil official group, and gave up passing the throne to his beloved son Zhu Changxun.
This is the dispute over the national capital in the late Wanli period, and the final results show that the scholars and doctors who fought for the national capital are blind.
If it weren't for a group of bastard ministers who insisted on setting up Emperor Taichang, the short-lived ghost "January Son of Heaven" who had only been in power for one month, there would have been no later Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty would definitely have changed.
The civil bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty was selfish and selfish, and although Emperor Taichang did it for a month, he carried out a series of reforms, the biggest highlight of which was the abolition of the mining tax of the Wanli Dynasty.
Damn, the real people will be so bad that they dare to open mines?
Only the dignitaries and their minions can make money from mining, and the abolition of the mining tax will impoverish the country and really make the bureaucracy cheaper.
Nothing good will come to the common people!
On the contrary, there is a fixed amount of fiscal revenue that the state needs, and if there is less mining tax revenue, the shortfall will of course be diluted to other taxes, such as land taxes.
Huang Han is actually a system of his own, and he doesn't need to be swayed by scholars.
Because of the intensive education for eight years, the workers, peasants, soldiers, academics, and businessmen have developed together, and tens of thousands of their own talents have been cultivated.
There are countless people in the "Red Banner Army" who can write and calculate, and the civilian-bureaucratic clique can carry out military management and then transition to civilian governance.
Emperor Chongzhen knew that Jiannu used the discord scheme, but he still couldn't hold his breath for a reason.
Because too many of the people of Gyeonggi, who have the "Red Banner Army" system to issue grain books and household registration books, are talking about whether everyone's life will be better if the general is the emperor?
Jinyiwei and Dongchang talked about Cheng Cheng in the market, and Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was really anxious.
Jiannu is too hateful and the conditions given are too tempting, not only to go to the emperor to obey Huang Han as the emperor, but also take the initiative to promise to dispatch all troops to be the vanguard for Huang Han to seize the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Only the "Red Banner Army" turned against the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and if Jiannu took the initiative to assist Huang Han to seize the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that within a year, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.
Daming, Jiannu, and Huang Han are in the game.
Chongzhen, who likes to take things for granted, believes that the best result is that the "Red Flag Army" and Jiannu will defeat it in the next few years.
Da Ming was given precious time to recuperate and recuperate, and he was able to deal with the rebellion of Huang Han in the future.
Now that such a small abacus can't be beaten, Jiannu is actually ready to take the initiative to declare himself a vassal to Huang Han, and then serve Huang Han to seize the Ming Dynasty.
With such generous conditions offered by the opponent, how should Daming appease Huang Han?
It's a big deal again, and Chongzhen, who has a big head, can only convene the important ministers platform to discuss the matter.
Dongnu's anti-plot caused a storm in the city, and of course the elder and the six Shangshu, the squire and other officials knew about it, and they could also guess why the emperor summoned him.
Chongzhen, who had nothing to do, had insomnia last night, his face was haggard, and when he saw that the ministers had finished their salutes, he opened his mouth to ask the important ministers:
"Dongnu used the counter-plot again, I know it, but Dongnu is too ruthless, completely shameless, and is actually ready to surrender to my Ming courtiers, and he also put a seal on the paper. Isn't the slave chief afraid to laugh and be generous? ”
He Ru said to him: "Your Majesty, Dongnu is even a mess of people, where do you care if the ministers who surrender to me will be laughed at by the world?"
The problem is that Jiannu openly promised to go to the emperor's title, as long as Liaodong and Korea were retained, he would be satisfied, and sending troops to attack my Ming Dynasty was just to conquer the generals and fight for the world.
If such a plan can really be implemented, it is not a lie that the 'Red Banner Army' and Dongnu will join forces to defeat our Ming Dynasty. ”
This is not good to listen to, but it is very realistic, more than a dozen ministers nodded yes, and Chongzhen could only smile bitterly.
asked: "What Aiqing means by his words, the general of the conquest was bewitched by Dongnu, and it is very likely that he chose to rebel against the Ming Dynasty?" ”
