Volume VII Chapter 1 Preparations for the Return to Beijing

"→" is a great novel to read.

The Liaohe River was victorious, Yuan Chonghuan led the Liaodong Army to defeat the main force of Jiannu, annihilating more than 60,000 enemies, Jiannu retreated in a hurry, and the Ming Dynasty recovered more than 400 miles of lost land west of the Liaohe River.

More than ten years, from the beginning of the defeat of Salhu in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu has rarely been victorious, during which only Ning Yuan and Ning Jin have come to the stage, but they have successfully withstood the attack of Jiannu, and the victory of Liaohe is not the same thing at all.

The Liaohe victory was a great victory, but the Liaodong Army took the initiative to attack and ran to the west bank of the Liaohe River to overthrow the main force of Jiannu!

This victory can be described as of extraordinary significance, starting from the defeat of Shenyang in the first year of the Apocalypse, the Liaodong Army can be described as a gradual defeat, from Shenyang to Jinzhou, the Apocalypse, the loss of land in Liaodong is nearly ninety, only a narrow Guanning Jin defense line outside the Shanhaiguan Pass.

This time, the Liaodong Army finally launched a large-scale counterattack, hit the west bank of the Liaohe River, and recovered more than 400 miles of lost territory, which can be said to be a turning point in the Liaodong war.

Chongzhen was naturally excited, it was precisely because of his "wise and martial arts", strategizing, and ordering Yuan Chonghuan to advance eastward and recover the lost territory, that he would achieve such a great victory, otherwise, Yuan Chonghuan would still be defending the Guanningjin defense line at this time.

He felt that the aura of the Lord of Zhongxing was slowly taking shape on the top of his head, and Daming was about to flourish in his hands!

Think back to what a mess he was when he succeeded to the throne.

The Southwest Anluxe Rebellion, from the second year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, lasted for five years and was not pacified, and it was he who sent Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, to pacify it in one fell swoop.

The southeast pirates were rampant, from the fifth year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in just three years, dozens of pirates of all sizes appeared in the southeast sea, and even the East was occupied by pirates and red hairs.

The peasant rebellion in the northwest, from March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse to July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, developed into dozens of shares in less than half a year, and the whole Shaanxi blossomed everywhere, and there were anti-thieves everywhere.

Northeast Jiannu invasion, from the first year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jiannu from the Kaiyuan Tieling line to the Guanningjin line, lost more than 1,000 miles, it was he who reused Yuan Chonghuan, and ordered Yuan Chonghuan to attack, defeated the main force of Jiannu in one fell swoop, and recovered more than 400 miles of lost territory.

With such great achievements, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for Taizu and Chengzu, who can compare with it!

Yuan Chonghuan led the Liaodong soldiers to achieve such a great victory, and he never hesitated to reward the meritorious ministers, of course, this reward is mainly spiritual rather than material, to put it bluntly, it is a promotion, as for the silver or something, there is no more, because he has no money at this time.

Coach Yuan Chonghuan was promoted to the crown prince and prince, the right capital of the imperial history and the secretary of the military department, of course, this military department is just a false title, not really back to the military department to be a book.

The main general Zu Dashou was promoted to the right governor of the Five Armies and the chief military officer of Fuliao.

The deputy general He Kegang was promoted to the general army of Liaohe, and the other generals who participated in the war were rewarded, and they were basically promoted to the next level.

Chongzhen's wanton reward for meritorious officials should be done, and governing the country should be like this, meritorious service must be rewarded, so that soldiers can use their lives, but some people are unhappy, for example, the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren.

Yuan Chonghuan's merit at this time is not enough to shock the lord, but it has shocked the remnants of the eunuch party, such a great merit, such a big official, if he returns to the court, he will still have it!

The secretary of the military department is a false title at this time, if he returns to the court, can Chongzhen still not let him be the real secretary of the military department?

Also, although the Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not care about anything, who knows that if Yuan Chonghuan recovers the entire Liaodong, Chongzhen will be happy, will he be directly promoted to the Imperial History of the Left Capital and be in charge of the entire Imperial Palace?

This Yuan Chonghuan must not stay, he didn't kill him last time, this time, he must find a way to kill him, otherwise, once he returns to Beijing, he is not a very human minister, how can this court control it!

Wen Tiren began to convene his henchmen and secretly discuss the matter of cleaning up Yuan Chonghuan, and at this time, Zhang Bin, who was far away in Fuguang, did not know that these traitors were preparing to harm people again, and he was preparing to return to Beijing to take up his post.

The so-called return to Beijing does not mean that the capital is his hometown, but that the released officials will eventually return to the capital to take up their posts.

He knew very well that it was difficult for Fuguang to continue to stay, because he had been here for six years, and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, unless there was a special reason, they had to rotate after serving in one place for three years, and this special reason generally refers to resisting the invasion of foreign enemies or quelling the rebellion, like Liaodong, to resist the invasion of Houjin, theoretically, as long as the Jiliao Governor does not make mistakes, he can stay until he defeats Houjin and recovers the entire Liaodong.

Of course, he also had a special reason for this, and this special reason was to resist the Dutch invasion, but the problem was that the Dutch had already been defeated by him, and even Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the Far East, was occupied by him, and the possibility of a Dutch invasion was no longer very likely.

If you want to hide this kind of thing, you can't hide it for a long time, if you are stabbed to Chongzhen by someone with a heart, it is a bully, Chongzhen is neurotic, who knows if he will abolish himself because of this crime of bullying!

This risk, he can't take it, and there is no need to take it, and if he wants to save the Ming Dynasty, he must finally control the power of the court, otherwise, the remnants of the eunuch party will be demolished in the back, and it is almost impossible to succeed, like Cai Fuyi, the governor of the five southwestern provinces of the Apocalypse Dynasty, pacified the rebellion of Anluxury, and the road was like a bamboo, and he was about to succeed, but suddenly he was defeated, he was masturbated, and he was defeated inexplicably, and he was dumbfounded.

He didn't want to suddenly receive a holy decree when he was out on a campaign, and he would be removed from his post and investigated; I don't want to fight and suddenly someone will drag on and cause defeat, so it is imperative to return to Beijing to take power.

The average release official returns to Beijing, basically just pat his ass and leave, at most he brings a few boxes of books or a few cars of goods, he wants to return to Beijing is not so simple, because he was originally a Fujianese, and Fuguang was built by him into a rear base to save the Ming Dynasty, he can't just leave, he has to make arrangements for many things.

First of all, Dongfan, here can be said to be his old nest, his relatives and friends, his industry, his private soldiers, his military factory, his officer training system, etc., are all here.

There's no room for failure here, and if something happens here, he'll be finished!

Dongfan Jiuwei is the key to controlling Dongfan, and most of the commanders of each guard are the younger generation from Dajin, so you don't have to worry about this; However, there are also pirates under Zheng Zhilong's hands, these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, and when they are here, they can suppress them to obey, who knows if these guys will be obedient after they leave.

For this reason, he deliberately promoted Xie Zhenggang to the commander of the Fujian Metropolitan Commander, and set the rules, after that, the East Fan Jiuwei will be under Xie Zhenggang's control, and the commanders of each guard must report to the current Governor's Mansion Yamen, that is, the future Commander Tongzhi Yamen, and Xie Zhenggang is responsible for the unified distribution of food and salary, and the transfer of troops must have an order issued by Xie Zhenggang.

Xie Zhenggang can be said to have followed him for the longest time, his daily life since he went out to work is taken care of by Xie Zhenggang and his wife, the relationship between them can be said to be second only to father and son, sometimes Zhang Bin even feels that his father Zhang Chengde does not seem to have Xie Zhenggang's relatives, Xie Zhenggang is also like father and son to him, and it is most reassuring to hand over Dongfan to Xie Zhenggang to take charge of him.

Next is the arrangement between Fujian and Guangdong, and the most important of these two places are the two mutual markets of Yuegang and Zhuhai.

A few years ago, because Wen Tiren wanted to pick peaches and blackmailed him in the court, he had turned Yuegang and Zhuhai into Zhenhaiwei and Guanghaiwei garrisons, and changed the two mutual markets from the management of local officials to the jurisdiction of Tunwei.

He thought about it for a while, and simply transferred Zheng Xing, the more stable commander of the Eastern Left Guard, to serve as the commander of Zhenhaiwei, and the commander of the Eastern Left Guard was He Bin, who had made contributions in Batavia.

As for the officials in Fuguang and Guangzhou, he has no way, because according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials must be rotated, and he himself has to leave because of the official system, and he has no way to keep other civil officials, the only thing he can do is to find a way to prevent the corruption of his successor, as long as the remnants of the eunuch party cannot loot the people's fat and people's ointment, the good situation in Fuguang and Guangzhou will not be ruined.

And the most effective way to prevent corruption in the successor is to turn the places that are easy to make money into military control, so that the eunuchs have no way to do it.

Yuegang and Zhuhai, the two most corrupt places, have long been under military control, and there is another important place that has to be guarded against, which is Jianning Mansion.

Jianning Mansion not only has a Jianning warehouse with millions of stones of grain, but also built a lucrative Jianning Pharmaceutical this year, although he has already proposed Li Shuchu of the Li family in Qizhou as the prefect of Jianning, but Li Shuchu can only stay in Jianning for three years, once he leaves, Jianning Pharmaceutical's big fat meat can be exposed to the mouth of the remnants of the eunuch party.

He thought about it for a while, and simply promoted Daniel Zhang to the commander of the capital of Fujian, and then took people to watch in Jianning Fucheng, whoever dares to reach out to Jianning Pharmaceutical to make money, he will come forward to be tough with him, corruption is this kind of thing, it is okay to do it behind the backs, once it is put on the surface, even if Wen Tiren is the head of the cabinet, he does not dare to be partial, if anyone dares to be partial, let people directly stab Chongzhen, see how they justify themselves!

His eldest brother Daniel Zhang, who served as the commander of the capital of Fujian, and the commander of Jianning's right guard was vacant again, and it just so happened that there was also Guo Huaiyi, who had made meritorious contributions in Batavia, and their rank under Zheng Zhilong was the same as Gan Hui and Hong Xu and others, and it was not a problem to serve as the commander of the guard, and more importantly, they were originally pirates, who dared to fight Jianning Cang's idea, and there was nothing to do if they beat up and then go to be a pirate, and the imperial court could only appease them in the end.

This is the only way to do things in the local area, anyway, the remnants of the eunuch party will also play hooligans and play shameless methods, and it is useless for them to do anything in front of the guards who may return to their old business at any time and become "pirates" again!

After arranging the local affairs, the next thing is his family, his wife, children, and concubines must be brought over, and Zheng Chenggong, a student, must also be brought over, originally he wanted his parents and Qi Fanghua and Hong Ronger's parents to stay in Dongfan to care for the elderly, but as soon as the news came out that he was going to move his family to the capital, his mother Huang immediately quit.

Huang's is not reluctant to him, his son is so old, it is impossible to always be tied to his side, for him, Huang's is not so rare for a long time, Huang's rare is his daughter Zhang Xiang and son Zhang Yang, these two little guys are carved in pink, very cute, and one- or two-year-old children, it is the most fun time, even if it is to tease them to say something, or to take two steps can be happy, these two baby bumps, how can Huang be reluctant.

Zhang Bin is helpless, his mother Huang caught him is a handful of snot and a handful of tears crying, how can he be reluctant to two baby bumps, in the end he can only agree to take his parents into Beijing together, Huang broke into laughter.

Such a big family, where to live in the capital is a problem, with their conditions in the east, into the capital, no matter how much they have to five or six yards, otherwise, the family with the maid, the old mother, the guard, how can it not be squeezed.

Now, the problem came again, Zhang Bin sent people to inquire on both sides of East Chang'an Avenue and West Chang'an Avenue, but they did not find a mansion of more than 100 acres.

At this time, there are many eunuchs in the Beijing officials, they fell under Wei Zhongxian's door at the beginning, not for power and money, although Wei Zhongxian fell, many people are fine, and their money is still there.

Although their money is nothing compared to Zhang Bin, it is still more than enough to buy a mansion in the capital, at this time, a mansion of 100 acres in the capital is only a few thousand taels of silver, and a mansion of thousands of acres is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is really nothing to them.

Therefore, the larger mansions on both sides of East Chang'an Avenue and West Chang'an Avenue were all bought, not only Zhang Bin knew that he was lazy, but they also knew that when he got up in the morning, he walked a few steps to the left gate of Chang'an and the right gate of Chang'an, and he didn't even need a carriage, how convenient.

It's really troublesome now, Zhang Bin still remembers getting up in the morning and going to the morning court, if you live far away, you have to get up every day when you don't get ugly, and you can only get to Chang'an Gate by swaying in a carriage for half a day, not to mention how uncomfortable it feels.

If it is once or twice, he can still bear it, if he does this every day, he can't stand it, he has to get up every day, then he doesn't have to do anything, as soon as he comes back from the yamen, he has to go to sleep quickly after eating something, otherwise, he won't even be able to open his eyes the next day!

What to do?

Zhang Bin decided to send someone to the capital to find it, there is no side of Chang'an Avenue in the east and west, just look for it nearby, anyway, he wants to find the closest one to Chang'an Gate.

He simply called a few guards together and asked them to see which of them was most familiar with the vicinity of East Chang'an Avenue and West Chang'an Avenue, and sent two people to bring twenty teams of guards over, and slowly found them, anyway, they also had to go to the capital together, in addition to the special operations battalion and the guard regiment, a total of more than 10,000 people, he was ready to take them to the capital, and when the time came, these people also wanted a place to live, so simply let them settle down together.
