Chapter 904: Stupid as a pig

Seeing that the cabinet minister Zheng Guochang was like this, Chongzhen was stunned and said:

"Zheng Aiqing, I have long promised to give the 'King of Hanjiang County' the title of 'King of Hanjiang' when Pingliao succeeds in five years, and at this time he led the army to stay in Tongzhou, is there no suspicion of coercing the imperial court?"

Zheng Guochang said: "If the 'King of Hanjiang County' obtains the credit of Pingliao, it is enough to canonize the title of vassal king, but why has he only planned the Pingliao War in the past two years?

This time, he even brought his own military supplies, grain and grass, and led tens of thousands of horses to run thousands of miles, exterminated tens of thousands of rogues, and captured the most heinous thieves.

Why is Your Majesty reluctant to give up the title of 'King of Han'? There are so many kings of the Ming Dynasty, who has made great contributions to Sheji? They are just reincarnated well.

Why does the vassal king have to be a family name? This injustice is long overdue to be broken. In the future, the vassal king will also be a meritorious person, and the residence will be expected by everyone! ”

The state affairs have deteriorated, and Zheng Guochang, who has had many long talks with his son-in-law, has raised his horizons a lot by studying the principles and policies formulated by Huang Han.

He has long been disappointed with Chongzhen, who has a vague governing program, inexplicable employment, and a policy that changes at a moment's notice, and has no responsibility.

He believes that even if the extremely confident son-in-law usurps the Ming Dynasty, he will be able to accommodate the Zhu Ming royal family, and he will definitely leave Chongzhen with dignity.

And if the cool Chongzhen can control his son-in-law, the Huang family and the Zheng family may face the risk of exterminating the nine clans.

For the sake of his son-in-law and the Zheng family, Zheng Guochang fired cannons in front of dozens of important ministers, trying to challenge the imperial power, and pointed out that the era of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains should be over for the Zhu family.

Chongzhen's face was even more ugly, but he understood that Huang Han's army was close at hand, and he couldn't make any moves to provoke Huang Han at this time.

He said: "Zheng Aiqing's implication is that the imperial court should give the 'King of Hanjiang County' to the 'King of Han'? ”

Zheng Guochang said: "Yes, at this time, the imperial court gave the title of 'King of Han', and the morale of the 'Red Banner Army' will definitely be high, which is conducive to the next fierce battle in Pingliao." ”

Chongzhen looked at the rest of the important ministers again and asked, "Do you Aiqing have any objections?" ”

Xue Guoguan, the first assistant who had already decided to hug Huang Han's thigh, said: "Your Majesty, now that I am in a difficult situation at home and abroad, only the 'Red Flag Army' is unique, and it all depends on the 'King of Hanjiang County' to turn the tide. ”

Next, half of the ministers spoke in support of Shousuke, and half chose to remain silent.

The game between the ministers and the imperial power is purely a fight between the gods, wouldn't it be stupid to jump out and fire a cannon at this time? It is the best policy to choose to protect yourself and not offend on both sides.

The matter has come to this point, even if Chongzhen is unwilling to a hundred can only choose to swallow his anger, two days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the eunuch Cao Huachun of Bingbi, the first assistant Xue Guoguan and hundreds of dozens of civil officials and military generals rushed to Tongzhou to announce the decree.

The next day, Huang Han's Xie En, who entered the "King of Han", was presented by Cao Huachun as the emperor.

Chongzhen read the twists and turns and learned that Huang Han was going to come to the Forbidden City to face St. Shaneen, and asked for an order that the 30,000 soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" should be inspected by the Son of Heaven on Chang'an Street outside the Forbidden City.

Huang Han led the army to be stationed in Tongzhou, less than 100 miles away from Beijing, and obtained the title of vassal king, so it was natural to enter the court to thank the emperor, which was the most basic gift for the monarch and ministers.

If Huang Han didn't say it, it would be disrespectful, and he would naturally be at a loss.

Although all kinds of intelligence showed that Chongzhen did not have the advantage of making Zhi stupid enough to arrange men and horses to deal with him, but for the sake of unnecessary trouble and safety considerations, Huang Han proposed to bring 30,000 horses into the city in the name of accepting the emperor's review.

In this way, this problem was handed over to Chongzhen.

Of course, even if Huang Han led 30,000 horses into the inner city, he would not easily take the Forbidden City and capture Chongzhen.

However, just as Huang Han was not worried about Chongzhen, Chongzhen also did not dare to take risks.

The next day, another decree came.

Chongzhen excused the "King of Han" from commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers to pacify the busy affairs of Liaodong, so he exempted the "King of Han" from the etiquette of entering the court to thank him, and ordered the "King of Han" to lead the army to start on the same day.

Obviously, this time the challenge to the imperial power won a complete victory, and Chongzhen relented and chose to compromise.

Huang Han did not fall into the ground, and immediately led his men and horses north after receiving the holy decree, and returned to Shanhaiguan in mid-February.

Huang Han did not issue a combat mission during this period, but gave eighty percent of the infantry a half-month long vacation, the purpose of which was of course to allow more young and middle-aged people to participate in the agricultural rush.

The Manchus did not take the initiative to provoke in the spring, they faced the big problem of food shortage, and they did not dare to miss the agricultural time, and many Jiannu soldiers were working in the fields.

Huang Han participated in the formulation of the plan to launch a full-scale attack when the wheat in Liaodong was ripe, and the more sown area on the Manchu side, the greater the loss.

Although Liaoxi was busy with spring plowing before Liaodong, Huang Han did not launch an attack in the spring, but was ready to continue to enjoy the fruits in the autumn, so that Jiannu would not get the opportunity to harvest after hard sowing.

During this time, there were different opinions in the Ming Dynasty, not only because the emperor chose to compromise and give Huang Han the title of "King of Han", but also because the theory of "pigs can also become Buddhas" was hyped.

Too many Wenchen think that they are extremely smart, and "pigs can become Buddhas" with the right people, and they are only eight buckets high, so why not follow the right people, high-ranking officials?

Many generals think that they are from a family of generals, and they think that Yang Dalang, who couldn't even marry a wife, followed the "King of Han" early, and now he has soared to become a very popular minister of Daming Ping Liaobo.

They only hated that they woke up too early, and remembered that hundreds of generals and tens of generals who died in Liaodong, Henan, and Shanxi over the years, too many people were from famous families, but they should all belong to the wrong team, and finally collapsed in the sand.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and it is time to do multiple-choice questions, follow Chongzhen to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty or follow the "King of Han" to find another way? Most people have a clear goal.

Relatively speaking, the nobles who bet on the treasure are not in a hurry, they have actively invested in the industry of the "Han Wang" system, which is equivalent to being tied to the interests of the "Red Flag Army".

Ran Tian Hongyu was a little unable to sit still, originally he was going to wait and see for another year, wanting to see the results of the "Red Banner Army" Pingliao Battle before placing a bet.

He was worried that in case the legendary "Red Banner Army" was defeated by Jiannu's decisive counterattack.

The thoughtful Tian Hongyu believed that as long as the "Red Banner Army" suffered defeat on the battlefield in Liaodong, the imperial court would definitely attack behind the scenes, and the situation would change completely.

However, after reading many articles on "Pigs Becoming Buddhas" published in the "Red Flag Daily", Tian Hongyu finally made up her mind, and she took Chen Yuanyuan and a set of singing and dancing teams to Shanhaiguan to ask to see the "King of Han".

The group of relatives is also the object of competition, and Concubine Tian's father asked to see him, but of course Huang Han would not refuse to see him, so he arranged a time to meet him in the afternoon of the same day.
