Chapter 635: Threatening the Imperial Court

The following words could not be blurted out as an emperor, Chongzhen stopped in time, and looked at this old minister with expectant eyes.

Xu Guangqi was silent for a moment and then said firmly: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, the old minister guarantees with his life, and the Marquis of Dongping will definitely do his best to be loyal to the country."

My more than 200-year-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty is not something that anyone can easily shake. The Marquis of Dongping has good thoughts and has fraternity for the small people of Shengdou, and he will definitely not have any dissenting intentions for the imperial court.

It's just that the Marquis of Dongping is a smart man, and there are countless examples of birds hiding rabbits and dead dogs in history, and he emphasized that after destroying Jiannu, he continued to guard Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, just to protect himself. ”

Listening to the heartfelt words of the old minister, Chongzhen was a little moved, and he said: "Aiqing might as well tell the Marquis of Dongping, as long as he lives up to my expectations and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely treat the Huang family well and give it to the prince." ”

"The old minister obeys the order, and the old minister will also urge the Marquis of Dongping to stop in moderation, and it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of blackmailing the court if he puts forward too many conditions at this time!"

Chongzhen was in a much better mood at this time, and he said:

"What the Marquis of Dongping did is harmless in my eyes, and I actually admire his pride and ambition when he threatened to kill all the civilian and military generals who were greedy for money, and I support him in doing so.

It is not too much to enter the Duke of the Kingdom with the merits of the Marquis of Dongping, and there is nothing to talk about coercion. I am a loyal and good general who is sincerely willing to the times. ”

Xu Guangqi took the opportunity to say good things for his beloved disciple, he knelt down and thanked him and said:

"The old minister kowtows for the Marquis of Dongping to thank him, Your Majesty is so magnanimous, presumably the Marquis of Dongping will definitely pacify Liaodong for Your Majesty."

After receiving Xu Guangqi's clear reply, Chongzhen did not come forward in person, and arranged for more than a dozen ministers and ministers who leaned towards the government and the opposition to go to the mansion of the Marquis of Dongping to discuss the five-year Pingliao plan again.

Many important ministers of the imperial court came to negotiate, which was considered to have given the Marquis of Dongping enough face, Wen Tiren, a Qing official, was outspoken, and he stood on the moral high ground to accuse the Marquis of Dongping of hypocrisy.

He Ruzhong also said frankly that the Marquis of Dongping was too much, which would cause people all over the world to think about it, and it would inevitably be thought that he would support the army and threaten the court.

Huang Han refused to admit that this was blackmailing the imperial court, explaining that the responsibility was heavy, and if he did not succeed, he could only die to become benevolent, and there was no second way to go.

Because there are risks and uncertainties in the five-year Pingliao plan, who is the one who does not take enough power and food and salary, and finally falls short?

It's not a pity to lose your head, the "Red Flag Army" was defeated by Jiannu, which of the imperial court will be able to fight in the future? In the end, will Jiannu enter the customs and seize the splendid rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty?

Huang Han's eloquence is very good, and his words are no less than Zhuge Liang's tongue and Confucianism, which actually makes a group of important ministers feel that the Marquis of Dongping is reasonable.

More than a dozen decision-makers from the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor discussed with Huang Han for a full day, and in the end, it was Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang who had a big face.

They couldn't say that Huang Han was right, and reprimanded him as an elder, and Huang Han reluctantly agreed to give in.

For this reason, Huang Han poured bitter water, sighing that in the future, the Huang family may be bankrupt because of five years of Pingliao.

The two sides finally negotiated the allocation of 300,000 taels of Liao salary every month, with an annual amount of 3.6 million taels of snowflake silver, and also confirmed that Yongping Mansion, Denglai, Tianjin, and Shuntian Mansion, where they were supplied, would be exempted from other taxes and supply grain and grass for the Pingliao army.

The output of the 17 guards in the defense area and the army of the guards were all dispatched by Huang Han, and Huang Han also acquiesced in the inspection of the military fields and the rectification of the guards.

Every year, it saves 1.2 million taels of Liao salary for Daming, which is 6 million in five years, and the results are better than expected, making Wen Tiren, He Rupet and so on happy.

A group of important ministers reinstated their lives to the emperor, and the first assistant Wen Tiren also settled accounts for the emperor, thinking that the Marquis of Dongping should have made up his mind to break the family and become a country, and he was afraid that he would have to take out a large amount of private money for Liao affairs.

Otherwise, it is impossible to complete the five-year Pingliao plan, and the preliminary estimate is that it will have to be posted with 300,000 taels of silver a month.

The emperor was a little embarrassed, since the year before last he transferred Huang Han into Henan to suppress the Kou, he personally summoned Yang Dalang, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, to show his favor, he was calculating Huang Han.

Up to now, the "Red Banner Army" is still monolithic, and the imperial court has to rely on Huang Han to fight against Jiannu.

The next day, Xu Guangqi finally got Chongzhen's consent to return to his hometown, and instead of returning to his hometown, he went to Tiger's Den City to teach and educate people according to the plan.

This is the Beidaihe area of later generations, and Huang Han has already built a holiday villa for his teacher in the best scenery, and even the servants have been arranged.

Three days later, that is, on the seventh day of December in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the emperor canonized the Duke of Liao of the Huang Han Dynasty and the general of the conquest, and awarded Shang Fang Baojian to concurrently serve as the Liaodong Wenwu Shuangjing, and the governors of Xuzhen, Liaozhen, Dongjiang Town, Tianjin Wei, and Denglai Soldiers and Horses.

The emperor sent Zheng Zhihui, Cheng Quan, Du Xun, Fang Jingcheng, Wang Zhixin, Shen Liangzuo, Deng Xizhao, seven eunuchs and dozens of eunuchs, plus two hundred general Jinyi guard captains to conquer the generals and supervise the army in each town under the command of the general.

Zheng Xiaowen became the governor of Shuntian, Gao Youmou became the governor of Shanyong, Jin Sheng was not qualified enough and was not appointed as the governor of Denglai, but became the governor of Laizhou, the position of the governor of Denglai was given to Kong Wenshi, and Sun Chuanting was appointed as the governor of Denglai and Dongjiang Town.

Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi was able to retire with honor, becoming the only Liaodong Jingluo who was not killed or resigned.

There was also a candidate for the post of governor of Liaodong, and Liang Tingdong, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, was recommended by Zheng Guochang, and Le Zizi rushed to Shanhaiguan to take up his post.

The more impregnable the defense lines of Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan, and Xuzhen, the more dangerous Xuanda is.

Liang Tingdong, who temporarily replaced Yang Sichang as the governor of Xuanda, was like a man, and he sent his confidant Ding to carry a letter to his friend Zheng Guochang, with a clear intention to leave this potentially fatal position.

Liang Tingdong took a lot of care of the fledgling "Red Flag Army" at that time when he was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and of course he had to repay the favor at this time.

This person was born in Jinshi, not a straw bag, he is okay to judge the situation, and he also has a certain amount of judgment, as for whether it is corrupt and perverts the law, Huang Han does not mind.

Because the system of the Ming Dynasty is to create corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Liang Tingdong will converge when he comes to the "Red Flag Army" system, the reason is very simple, the sunshine is adopted here, and all expenditures are "Quartet Money Village", and there is no way to start if you want to be greedy.

Sun Chuanting's temper is big, and he picks on his son if he doesn't agree with him, and Tianqinian just can't get used to seeing the eunuch party resign from the government, and now he has been idle for ten years.

If the imperial court gave him an insignificant position, Sun Chuanting might not be able to look down on him, but he was overjoyed when he learned that he had been appointed as a soldier in Denglai and supervised the army in Dongjiang Town.

After slaughtering all the slaves to repay the king's kindness, the eldest husband should be like this, Sun Chuanting immediately took a few family members and drove to Tianjin Wei after receiving the holy decree.
