Chapter 258: Civil and Military Grievances 3

The contradiction between the Longwu court and the Jinhua Yijun is hidden in their hearts, Zhang Qiang and Longwu both know that the two families will make a decision in the end, but how to make a decision, whether to live in peace or meet each other, or cooperate in other ways, neither of them has a mature idea in their hearts, but now neither Longwu nor Zhang Qiang wants to stiffen the relationship.

Zhang Qiang needs the banner of Longwu, and Longwu needs the support of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army.

As for the court of King Lu, Zhang Qiang, the army and court power of the Lu Prison State, only regarded them as a knife in his hand, a knife that was not too sharp but could scare and attract the treacherous and cunning Hong Chengchou.

At the very least, it can be pushed in front and used as a turtle shell.

What can be solved with money and weapons, Zhang Qiang is unwilling to touch it with the elite troops in his hands.

Looking at the happy faces of the civil and military officers who were still disgruntled just now, Zhang Qiang didn't know how the Longwu Imperial Court viewed the crisis in Quanzhou Mansion now.

In fact, his concession was not accepted by the famous Confucians who have been rendered by Confucian culture for a long time, they care more about the face of the court, just like the future generations, my Great Heavenly Empire, whether it is really right, really wronged, whether you are wronged or not, you have to abide by the rules of the Great Heavenly Empire, otherwise, you will be punished more than the criminals, detailed regulations, open your mouth can count countless hidden dozens of you don't know that make you more guilty than criminals.

You give face at most is an excessive defense, please remember that the Celestial Empire does not have a legitimate defense and innocence treaty, and there is no such thing as you being pitiful and innocent, once something happens, your responsibility can be light, but it is absolutely not said that people offend you, if you don't resist and wait for the police uncle to solve it, you will have no problem, your problem is big.

"Slap" Zhang Qiang slapped himself, why did he start to get distracted again, he shook his head vigorously and continued the meeting.

And at this moment, in the Longwu court, the rivalry, the quarrel is not much inferior to the Jinhua Righteous Army, the group of ministers, but because of their identity and talent, the quarrel is more intense, quoting scriptures, gorgeous rhetoric is like a bullet spit out by a Gatling machine gun, the Manchu Dynasty officials are swept into thousands of holes, the face is flushed, the mouth is crooked, especially the Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian's face is gloomy and terrible.

But he had no way to explain his agreement with Zhang Qiang to them.

Su Guansheng, Qian Binglu, Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan, Jin Sheng, Huang Binqing, Li Guangdi, Li Shixiong, Fang Yikong and other courtiers complained to Longwu and Zhu Yujian in the main hall, and Longwu explained to them bitterly.

"We can only accept it now, but we can't oppose it, not to mention that people send troops and money to help us recover the rivers and mountains, what is the crime?" Long Wu asked the courtiers majestically.

"Your Majesty, he is unruly, strong and strong, does not listen to the command of the imperial court, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, so that your envoys have lost a lot of Imperial Forest Army, this is most of the guards around you now, the Royal Forest Army of 2,000 soldiers and horses that cost a lot of money to establish is completely lost in this Quanzhou Mansion incident, and you have fled back to ten without one, how to protect your safety in the future?" Su Guansheng cried.

"There are 3,000 soldiers in the city of Tingzhou Mansion, more than 10,000 young and strong, and 35,000 people can also be organized by organizing the township battalion, and the defense of Tingzhou Mansion is impregnable, so there is no need to bother.

Besides, there were 10,000 elites of Li Aiqing fighting in Jiangxi frontally, and there were 20,000 soldiers of Jin Shenghuan Aiqing on the side, and now we have more than 40,000 troops in the rear, led by General Huang Binqing to attack Ganzhou Mansion day and night, and on the other side, there are 10,000 elite soldiers of Zhang Tianlu's general army to attack Ganzhou Mansion, as long as we take Ganzhou Mansion, our back can be worry-free.

As long as we are trained and reorganized for a long time, we can be transferred to the front to recover Jiangxi, and open up the communication with the governor of Yinxi, and then we can take Jiangxi Province, have Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, and have the Jinhua Righteous Army as our flank, in this case, do you want to destroy the Great Wall? ”

Longwu asked in a puzzled tone with some annoyance.

Qian Bingjian stepped forward to help Su Guansheng and said: "Qi the emperor, the Jinhua righteous army can help us, this is the obligation of the courtiers, share the worries for the emperor, and share the responsibility for the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, this is what the courtiers should do, as a courtier, but take the royal land as their own territory, and do not allow other officials and people to enter, check it strictly, unless there is official business, or summon, they are not allowed to enter the place where they are located, is this still a courtier?" This is a divided bandit, a vassal, and no one has ever tolerated such behavior since ancient times. Therefore, the minister asked the emperor to send troops to fight against this thief. ”

Li Guangdi stood up, pointed at Qian Bingjian and said, "What do you want?" ”

Qian Bingrup said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, with this Cao thief-like feudal official, can't we share the worries for the emperor and lift the threat for the imperial court?" ”

Huang Binqing stood up, "Yes, your majesty, the people of Zhejiang Province live and work in peace and contentment, the economy is prosperous, the army is strong, such a plastered place, how can such a courtier who is not a servant occupy it, it is better to recruit into the imperial court, and then ambush the sword soldiers, kill them, seize their soldiers, occupy their land, with his 200,000 elite soldiers, the recovery of rivers and mountains, just around the corner, now Zhang Qiang has a heavy army, but watching the court fight with the Tartars, and when we are in crisis, take the opportunity to send troops, and we ask for territory, throw us some broken weapons, a few small money, Is this really what it looks like to be a courtier? ”

Long Wu was still a little helpless and insistent in his heart, this is because he is more sober-minded, and he knows that he has to conspire with a careerist like Zhang Qiang now, and he also knows what kind of person Zhang Qiang is, but he can even forgive Zhang Xianzhong, who overthrew the old department of Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty and turned the Ming Dynasty upside down, how can he not forgive Zhang Qiang, who just has an ambition, and now he can't see if he can finally win the victory?

At this time, when he heard the opposing courtiers say this, his inner defense began to waver.

Everyone has his dark side, has his shortcomings, it can be said that the shortcomings of the last monarchs of the Ming Dynasty are very obvious, Longwu is just better than those people, he has a positive and shrewd side, but he can't resist the wheel of history, can't resist his own weaknesses, can't resist his own arrogance and conceit as a member of the royal family, for big things not, for face is still very important.

At the moment he hesitated.

He looked at Li Chengdong, the one who was beaten by Zhang Qiang lost his armor and finally lost his ambition in the green camp of the Qing army, and had to turn around and join his old Li Zicheng, this person has a hand in leading troops to fight.

Now Huang Binqing is just an ordinary general, when it comes to fighting, people like Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan are more powerful, at least they can deal with the Qing army, can defeat the Qing army, and fight with the Qing army to win and lose, and most of the other courtiers are civilian officials or useless generals, in addition to supporting the army and asking for money and food, they will only stick to or flee away when they encounter the Qing army, so he attaches great importance to Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, Li Youde, and former Qing generals who have just taken refuge.

"Li Aiqing, what do you think?" He asked softly.
