Chapter 517. Lao Tzu wants to be the king of Liao
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang able to succeed? There are no other Liu Bowen's three points of Wang Tu, high casting wall! Accumulate grain! Slow reign! is too high-profile like Yuan Shu, the first emperor in the Three Kingdoms, and in the end he can only become a supporting role, like the three Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei who gave people a start.
Even if the Qing Kingdom has reached the present, the ten stops have gone to the nine stops, but after all, he is still guarding Shengjing, and before it is resolved, Mao Jue can't pull out his hand to enter the customs, so he keeps a low profile as much as possible.
Especially what is Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards himself, Mao Jue is too clear, the imperial court has been fighting for more than 20 years, and now he is a semi-independent warlord who has defeated the Qing army, how will Chongzhen react? With the consistency of this emperor who has a good face and is greater than the empire, the most direct impact is probably Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen will definitely not wait for a moment, and strictly order Yuan Chonghuan to immediately go out of Guan Ping thief to earn back this face for him!
Can Yuan Chonghuan defeat Li Zicheng? Mao Jue is really a little unclear about how his power has improved for more than a year, after all, he is separated by half of the country, and there is no phone call this year, but Mao Jue thinks that in half a year, he will not be able to compete with Li Zicheng's army, which has an army of at least 500,000 and the battlefield is in the Central Plains, where the grassroots rule of the Ming Dynasty has been completely eroded.
It is still unknown whether Chongzhen can take Shengjing seventeen years ago, but as long as Yuan Chonghuan falls, the Ming Dynasty will collapse in an instant! This old immortal official fan directly shattered Mao Jue's plan with one hand, and it would be strange if Mao Jue didn't get angry.
With the last ray of hope, Mao Jue helplessly grabbed Zhou Yanru's collar and asked sadly: "How many days has it been since the news was sent!" Is it possible to withdraw? ”
"Doesn't the general have any intention of the world?"
Zhou Yanru is on the list of traitors in the Ming Dynasty, but to be a traitor, he must first be a capable minister, otherwise he will not be able to stand out among many officials, and he is in power, Zhou Yanru can climb from a small right attendant of the Ministry of Rites to the first assistant of the cabinet in one fell swoop, and he is not an idle person, although Mao Jue's performance was very different from what he expected, but Zhou Yanru still quickly adjusted his mentality, but asked Mao Jue instead.
This sentence is direct enough, explicit enough, and unexpected enough! The old goblin suddenly talked eloquently, but Mao Jue was also stunned.
What I want is this effect, grasping Mao Jue's stunned kung fu, Zhou Yanru is hands behind his back, and he actually turned around and talked eloquently.
"What is the world! The world is the hearts of the people! And what is the human heart? Fame is the heart of the people! Regardless of the good reputation or bad reputation, if the building is going to fall today, and you want to compete for the power of the world, Li Zicheng of the Central Plains is one, Zhang Xianzhong of Bashu is one, and even the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty who have just been slaughtered by the general are also one, but you, the general!"
Shaking his head heavily, Zhou Yanru arched his hand again in the northeast direction.
"If it weren't for the fact that Lao Yu happened to be in the Wa Kingdom, toured all the way to Iron Mountain, and witnessed the general's might, I'm afraid Lao Yu would not regard the general as this contender, and even Lao Yu heard that the two ignorant fools of the Hong Chengchou Army also came to the door to point fingers at the general, and the general endured for a long time, and the old man admired! But now is not the time to forbear, if you want to compete for the world, you have to make your own name and let everyone in the world support the general!"
"The old man is willing to sing this first sound for the general!"
Not to mention, what this old traitor said is really reasonable, why did the Qing army enter the customs so smoothly, because Dolgon took over an almost complete Ming court, civil and military officials, account books, mountain and river catalogues, offices, relying on the Qing army's force Once order was restored, these institutions spread out their rule again in a short period of time.
But the civil and military officials of the Beijing division were willing to surrender to the Qing army, and it was also the Qing army's reputation for fighting on the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were a collection of contradictions, on the one hand, they shouted the loyalty festival louder than anyone else, on the other hand, they were really loyal to the end of the festival and no one refused to come out, as long as there was a strong man willing to protect them, they were willing to bow down.
Of course, this strong man has to be strong to convince them and make them afraid, now Dongjiang is strong, but Mao Jue is too low, and Dongjiang is a little weaker than the Qing people, Dolgon is a foreign race outside the Guan, but he Mao Jue is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is a soft egg for the ministers, but it is a must in the nest.
If the Ming Dynasty is at its weakest, it is not a clever plan to call the king to set up his own door and clear up with the Ming Dynasty.
The only thing is that it's too early! If Zhou Yanru jumped out and sang this play again after capturing Shengjing, it would be perfect.
Seeing that Mao Jue's face was changing, and all the chips he could get were used, Zhou Yanru, an old thing, was more nervous than when he tripped Yuan Chonghuan and summoned Wu Chongzhen on the platform, and now the Ming Dynasty is indeed scattered, even if he is a former scholar, he has begun to throw himself into the court.
But there are really not many places for him to vote, Li Zicheng he looks down on him, Qingguo is finished, not to mention Zhang Xianzhong, then only Mao Jue is here to ensure the harvest of drought and flood, no matter how bad it is, like Liaojin in history, he can enjoy the country for two or three hundred years, and there is really no good place to miss it.
It took more than ten minutes for Mao Jue to sit back, and to Zhou Yanru's relief, he picked up the teacup on the table, and Mao Jue reached out and poured him a cup of tea. It can be regarded as illustrious, and there is no shortage of good tea in Jiangnan, but he was busy taking it, but this cup of tea made Zhou Yanru feel extremely sweet and mellow.
finally found another place for himself.
"Mao Shuo, go and summon Lord Fan, General Sun, Lord Song and the commanders of the various corps, there will be something important!"
"Lord Weng, Zhou Mou......"
"Lord Zhou also shed it, but I heard that Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai of the Restoration Society are the protégés of Lord Zhou?"
"A few scholars who talk nonsense, unfilial people, Zhou has already cut off contact with them, please rest assured!"
Zhou Yanru's heart suddenly changed, it was rumored that Mao Jue had a serious conflict with the local clan in Jiangnan, and he had his hand in the Hangzhou Rebellion that year, which seemed to be true.
Even if he failed to become a university scholar some time ago, Zhang Pu abandoned himself and left, but once he ascended the throne in the Dongjiang River, Mao Jue would be king again! These shabby scholars of the Restoration Society have to come together like flies, and when the time comes, how to use the tongue of these guys to do things for themselves, and you have to clear up with them, you have to consider your own skills!
While nodding in response, Zhou Yanru was secretly calculating in his heart.
"It's so good, Dongjiang doesn't have the place of these people who talk about politics!"
The Donglin Party is too greedy and too conservative, accepting Zhou Yanru is already a last resort, Mao Jue doesn't want to have another party fight under his command, listening to his warning of poor words, there are a little more beads of sweat on his head, Zhou Yanru is busy nodding in response.
…………
It's really called Dongjiang efficiency, less than ten minutes after Mao Jue's order was issued, all the chief officers and generals of the various ministries arrived, Wen Meng and a few goods just came out of the bathhouse, and his body was still wet, and Zhou Yanru, who was looking at Zhou Yanru with a large number of small flat heads, was dizzy with straight eyes, and made up his mind to shave his head like this when he went back, and the province was xenophobic.
Or the standard chairmanship meeting mode, a long table, green tablecloth, a teapot in front of the seats, the main seat with Mao Jue's sketch portrait is from the hand of the great painter Adleena, that side face, quite the style of Chairman Jiang bald, staring ahead, below the collar wearing military uniforms, around the long table, dozens of officers and ministers first entered the column and sat at both ends, watching Mao Jue come in, everyone stood up neatly all of a sudden, and the heels were aligned to stand upright.
"I've seen the Overseer!"
"Sit!"
"Thank you!"
There was a bang, and everyone sat down neatly, this modern style made Zhou Yanru, who came in with Mao Jue, stunned, and didn't know where he was sitting, and he could only stand on Mao Jue like a eunuch for a while.
"General, what is the order to summon us?"
was busy fighting the plague, and Sun Chuanting, who had just integrated into the inner circle, was the first to ask bluntly. Mao Jue, who listened to this question, was tired again, and tilted his head at Zhou Yanru beside him.
"This, the former Wuyingdian University scholar Zhou Yanru Zhou, passed the battle report of our Dongjiang to the Beijing Division through his protégé."
Brushing it, Zhou Yanru felt that his neat eyes focused on his old face for a moment, and his eyes were full of unkindness, and he was hairy on his back, and his head was in a cold sweat, to be honest, until now, he didn't know what taboo he had committed by transmitting the battle report to Jingshi.
"General, since the matter has happened, our army must not delay here any longer, we must seize Shengjing before the emperor forces Yuan Inspector to send troops to Shaanxi, and solve the Qing army, once Yuan Inspector is defeated, there will be no military force in the north of the court that can resist the invasion of the army, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is imminent, and we must rush to open the way into the pass before the fall of Beijing!"
The voice was sonorous, Fan Wenju stood up in a hurry, and in response to him, Shen Rongwen and Meng Kong Youde stood up almost at the same time, clenching their fists and asking for their lives.
"The last general is willing to fight the vanguard!"
"Everyone, if you are worried about Lord Yuan, the old man thinks that it is not necessary!"
In a gloomy atmosphere, Zhou Yanru, the initiator of the matter, coughed heavily and interjected.
"Indeed, the emperor has an impatient personality and is eager to forge ahead, once he learns the news of Lord Weng's great victory, and further threatens the throne of the King of Liao, the emperor will definitely issue an order to urge Yuan Inspector to enter the army, but according to the old man's understanding of the emperor, this year has reached the limit of the emperor's patience, even if there is no news of Lord Weng, the emperor will definitely force Yuan Inspector to send troops, which is irreparable!"
His words made Mao Jue nod helplessly, indeed, according to history, when Sun Chuanting presided over the military and political affairs of Shaanxi, Chongzhen also forced Sun Chuanting to send troops in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, went deep into Henan, was besieged by several times the breaking army, and tens of thousands of people died in the First World War, Sun Chuanting died in Tongguan, burying the last hope of the Ming Dynasty.
"And even if there is a victory and coercion stimulus of Lord Weng, the emperor must wait until the end of August, the Jing division cannot support the food supply to Shaanxi, and the Yuan Inspector must complete the autumn harvest to obtain military rations before he can march, even if the emperor is impatient, the Chinese military will definitely persuade the emperor to be patient."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yanru's voice was also a little overflowing.
"Besides, Inspector Yuan is a famous general after all, and he also controls the three-sided border soldiers of Shaanxi, the strongest main force of the Ming Dynasty, even if he can't withstand Li Chuang, it shouldn't be a problem to support him for half a year, these times should be enough for Lord Weng to clean up the remnants of the Jianji, right?"
The root cause of this matter is actually here, you can't just join Dongjiang and leave such a big complaint, Zhou Yanru is trying his best to clear it up, but what he said, Mao Jue has already commanded several commanders, but he can't help but nod An An, it does make sense.
I remember that in history, when Sun Chuanting commanded this campaign, he also went out of Tongguan around August, but he didn't support it for half a year, only two months, Sun Chuanting, who relied heavily on the train battalion, was surrounded by Li Zicheng in Jiaxian, and besieged to a rout.
However, Li Zicheng also took time to take Shaanxi, and it took time to turn his head and go straight to Beijing, and there were many checkpoints on the nine sides along the way, in Ningwu Pass, and even Li Zicheng was almost not beaten back home by Zhou Yukeda, the general soldier of Ningwu Pass, and in history, it was also the end of March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen that the Beijing division fell violently, and the Ming Dynasty was declared extinct.
Half a year, it should be enough to defeat the remnants of the Qing and open the way to the customs!
Besides, he Mao Jue didn't have the heart to defend the Jingshi, to protect the Chongzhen Emperor, Chongzhen in one day, he was still orthodox, only the Jingshi fell, and the belief in the hearts of those scholars collapsed, which can go to the stage where he Mao Jue appeared in the troubled times, so that Li Zicheng could educate and educate those corrupt and arrogant court masters, and clean the court with their hands, which is also good for the Dongjiang River.
"What Lord Zhou said makes sense, the last general Zeng Governor of Shaanxi, the three sides are declining, and the army is privately occupied, if Lord Yuan Chonghuan and Lord Yuan want to go out of the customs to fight, no matter what, they have to wait until August!"
To be honest, Sun Chuanting is very contemptuous of Zhou Yanru, Laxian Bachelor! But he is also a sincere person, there is one thing to say and two to say, with the support of such a loyal minister of Dongjiang, Zhou Yanru is even more relieved, and even smiled back at Sun Chuanting, but unfortunately, Sun Chuanting did not leave him alone.
"Even so, you must be ready to attack, Wen Meng, your Tieshan Corps will open today, drive to Tieling, and join the Vladivostok Corps in the huge sea, General Kong, your Acheng Corps is still going to Siping City, where it is ready to march along the border wall of eastern Liaodong to Guangning, cut off the connection between Liaodong and western Liaoning, and Shen Rong's troops will go south, and wait until the first snow falls this winter, and then launch the final attack on Shengjing."
"However, all ministries are still in strict accordance with the sanitation in Jilin City, and they must do a good job of cleaning and hygiene, eliminate lice and fleas, prevent mosquitoes, and feel that no epidemic is allowed!"
"Lord Fan will find Li Shanhai and Master Li in a while, and dispatch troops to coordinate with him, in the next few months, the railway in Jilin Ula will be extended to Tieling City!"
"The last general obeys!"
Although it will take a certain risk, but now that Dongjiang has just finished a large-scale war of annihilation and has concluded a bloody feud on the battlefield of Liaodong for more than 20 years, it is a time when the period is high, and all the generals who have received the order to attack and get the order are all in high spirits and have received their orders.
After the war was deployed, Mao Jue's heart was also a little brisk, and he stood up happily, and his voice was a lot louder.
"Moving on to the next topic! Dongjiang has fought hard until now, we must get the rewards we deserve, Mr. Zhou Yanru Zhou is in Beijing to contact us, this general, I want to ask the court for this Liao king!"
The ancients said: If one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven! As soon as these words came out, almost everyone's eyes flashed in an instant, even brighter than when the offensive curtain had just opened!
