Volume 7 Chapter 9 Preparing to Fight Back
Zhang Bin was really a little angry, Wen Tiren actually said that he was not in the capital to tell right and wrong, wantonly slandered, and wanted him to die, it was really shameless!
Chongzhen actually thought he was smart, thinking that he had the intention of rebelling, and wanted to clean up his "henchmen", and he was extremely stupid!
He never thought about rebelling, but now he was forced to really want to rebel, and let such a pair of faint kings and traitors mess around, Daming still has a fart hope!
However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, he gave up the idea of rebellion, because there was little hope of success, and with his current strength, he could easily kill Chongzhen and Wen Tiren, but he couldn't kill thousands of royal relatives.
The royal family, the princes and nobles, will not obey him, officials from all over the country, the border guards, and few will listen to him, what is the use of killing Chongzhen, Chongzhen also died in history, but soon after his death, someone supported Emperor Hongguang to ascend the throne in Jinling, Emperor Hongguang was finished, and someone supported Emperor Longwu, and Emperor Longwu was finished, and someone supported Emperor Yongli, and then the war would inevitably continue.
He fought to the death with the foolish and loyal ministers who supported the royal family and the traitors with ulterior motives, and when would he be the end, and when the internal friction was almost over, wouldn't he have embarked on the old road of history again, and built slaves cheaply in vain!
Therefore, we can't be opposed, and we can't rely on a little strength in our hands to be lawless and do whatever we want, if everyone doesn't follow the rules, the world will be in chaos, and when the time comes, it is yourself who suffers, it is the people who suffer, and it is the enemy who gains.
When the Apocalypse Dynasty was at the beginning, Sun Chengzong should have this idea, at that time he was in Jiliao to supervise the division, holding more than 200,000 soldiers, but Wei Zhongxian wantonly killed the Donglin Party in the court, if he was desperate and led the army back to Beijing, it should not be a problem to kill Wei Zhongxian, but after the killing, if the Apocalypse condemned him because he killed Wei Zhongxian, did he even kill the Apocalypse? And what should I do with Liaodong, he led the army into Beijing, wouldn't Jiannu drive straight in!
In order to satisfy their personal desire for power, eunuchs and the like can ignore the interests of the country and the people, and stain their path to heaven with the blood of innocent people, but he cannot do so.
He can only use the laws of the Ming Dynasty to fight with Wen Tiren, the Zhejiang Party, and the remnants of the Eunuch Party, trample them down, and take power himself, so as not to make the world chaotic, so that he will not build slaves in vain.
Wen Tiren is using the laws of the Ming Dynasty to play shameless and play hooligans, he is not afraid of Wen Tiren, just play, who is afraid of whom!
Zhang Bin took Cao Huachun's secret letter and studied it carefully, and found that Wen Tiren wanted to be recalled to the capital without knowing it, and he was caught off guard.
This self-defense is the key, as long as he stupidly receives the official document and returns to the capital to defend himself, then he will fall into Wen Tiren's set, and Sun Chuanting, he seems to have been recalled to the capital to defend himself, and now Jingcha is under the control of Wen Tiren, and he must not fall into this set.
Thinking, thinking, Zhang Bin slowly had a plan, and a war without gunpowder began.
Shanxi Fenzhou Mansion, Fenyang West Post Station, the weather is cold, two post guards stand on both sides of the gate, while stomping their feet to keep warm, while looking at the far west, they are not looking at the road whether there are pedestrians and vehicles to the direction of the post station, but watching the sunset, of course, they look at the sunset is not for the mood, but waiting for the sunset, so that they can call it a day and go back to sleep!
At this moment, a carriage appeared in the distance, which had turned from the official road into the main road leading to the post station, and it was obvious that it had come to the post station to stay overnight.
The two post guards hurriedly cheered up and straightened their waists, at this time there are not many people who can sit in the carriage, it must be an official, and the official position is not small, the average petty official can find a donkey to pull the cart, as for the messenger or the herald Although he has a horse, he is not qualified to ride in the carriage, they can only beat the horse and gallop in the cold wind!
Soon, the carriage came to the gate of the post station, and the old man in the carriage did not need the coachman to serve, so he directly opened the curtain and jumped down from the carriage.
The old man seemed to be a little unhappy, and a post guard hurriedly stepped forward and asked carefully, "This lord, who are you?" ”
Sun Chuanting took out the official document from his arms expressionlessly, shook it away and handed it to the post guard, and said coldly: "The governor of the three sides will return to Beijing to defend himself. ”
Three, three, three governors, what a great officer!
Although people are going back to Beijing to defend themselves, that's not something that a little minion like them can provoke.
The post guard didn't even dare to take the official documents, just beat it up and glanced at it, sure enough, there was a big seal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, this master was the governor of the three sides That's right, he hurriedly shouted to another post guard: "You ball potential, hurry up and call Lord Zhao." ”
After shouting, he nodded to this Sun Chuanting and said, "My lord, please, my lord." ”
Sun Chuanting didn't say a word, put away the official documents, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked in with your guard, and the coachman hurriedly led the horse, pulled the cart, and followed.
Soon, the post man here hurriedly came up with a few post guards and welcomed Sun Chuanting in, while the two post guards returned to the gate and continued to wait for the sunset.
Just as the sun was about to set and they were about to call it a day, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Who the hell is this, it's a cold day, it's all at this time, and it's not stopping, rushing to reincarnation!
The two post guards cursed a few words in their hearts, and stood there helplessly waiting, although they were a little impatient, but they did not dare to go away, because at this time they were still beating horses and galloping on the road, there must be something urgent, if the official business was delayed, they could not afford it.
After a while, a man rode a horse and galloped to the gate, the knight was about twenty years old, although his face was full of exhaustion, but with a fierce air, he came to the door, pulled the reins, flew off his horse, swept to a post man, showed his personal seal, shook it to the post man, and then asked aloud: "Has Lord Sun, the governor of the three sides, passed through this place?" ”
Guerrilla generals! This young man turned out to be a guerrilla general!
Although the guerrilla general has no rank, he is also a general, and he is bigger than the average thousand households, and he is already a great official.
The post guard was frightened, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, just now a governor who returned to Beijing to defend himself came to rest with us, and the villain didn't dare to ask in detail, I don't know if it is Lord Sun you said." ”
When the guerrilla general heard this, he said excitedly: "That's it, hurry up, take me to see Master Sun." ”
The postman hurriedly glanced at his comrade on the side, asked him to take the reins from the guerrilla general's hand, and immediately led the guerrilla general inside.
At this time, Sun Chuanting was sitting alone in the lobby of the post station drinking wine, the post minister here originally wanted to do a big job, offering hospitality, but he politely refused, and there was a plate of Shanxi characteristics of oily meat and vinegar soaked peanuts on the table, these post stations have standing stock, but it doesn't cost much money.
As soon as he took a sip of soju, picked up a peanut, and slowly tasted the bitterness and bitterness in his mouth, the heavy curtain at the gate was suddenly lifted, and a post man led a man straight towards him.
He couldn't help but look up, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Zhang Pan, why are you here!" ”
Zhang Pan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Sun, we are afraid that you will not be safe along the way, so we specially sent me to accompany you to protect you." ”
There is no beginning or end to this, what an adult, what is not safe, the people in the post station were confused when they heard it, but Sun Chuanting understood, this is not the place to speak, Zhang Pan is talking to him in code.
Originally, he didn't have much appetite, and the position of the governor of the three sides was taken away before he was hot, and no one was happy to change it, but after he saw Zhang Pan, he seemed to have a backbone in an instant, and his mood was a lot brighter.
He cordially invited Zhang Pan to sit down, drank a few drinks with Zhang Pan, and then ate a large pot of chopped noodles with Zhang Pan, and then led Zhang Pan into the room to discuss secretly.
Early the next morning, Sun Chuanting was not in a hurry to get on the road, but sent the Qin army guards who sent him back, and even let the horses that pulled the cart ride back.
Zhang Pan is even more bizarre, he actually handed over the good war horse he rode to the post man at the post station and asked him to help sell it in exchange for an old donkey!
What does this guy want to do?
What doesn't he want to do, this is Zhang Bin's countermeasure, delay time!
Sun Chuanting rushed over from Sui Dewei's side, more than 400 li, and it only took five days, and Sui Dewei arrived in the capital about 2,000 li, that is to say, if he continued to rush like this, he would arrive in the capital in half a month at most.
Zhang Bin asked Zhang Pan to inform him that it was best to walk for more than a month, and for more than a month, Dongshengtang would no longer deliver grain and grass to the Qin army, so that the Qin army's grain and grass would be in an emergency, and it would be up to Wen Tiren to see how it ended when the time came!
This is just an appetizer, Zhang Bin himself played even harder, he didn't go to pick up the Beijing inspection report sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials for 800 miles, and when they sent the report to Fuzhou, someone would tell him that the Governor had gone to Guangzhou, and when they sent the report to Guangzhou, someone would tell him that the Governor had returned to Fuzhou by boat!
If you take the official road between Fuzhou and Guangzhou, you have to make a detour to Guangxi, and the road is quite difficult, and it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth, and during this time, he secretly prepared for a counterattack.
Didn't Wen Tiren want to catch him off guard, he first caught Wen Tiren's lackey Zhang Jie off guard!
The Jingcha report was still circling around Fuguang and Fuguang, but he did not hurry to summon all the "party henchmen" to the governor's palace and hold a meeting to make arrangements.
Because he was going to Nanyang to inform Zheng Zhilong, the meeting took more than ten days to be held, and all the participants were high-ranking officials in Fuguang who were listed as "Zhang Bin's henchmen" by Wen Tiren.
There are Bi Maokang, Cai Shanji, Zou Weilian and other ministers, as well as Cao Wenzhao, Qi Yuangong, Zheng Zhilong and other generals, more than ten people, gathered together, none of them are below the third grade!
Originally, these people were the basis for him to control the power of the court, and they were the loyal ministers and good generals he used to save the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, they became an excuse for Wen Tiren to attack him for forming a party for personal gain.
In the conference room of the Governor's Palace, Zhang Bin slowly glanced around, and then said heavily: "Everyone, let me tell you a very unfortunate news, the remnants of the eunuch party, the scum of the Zhejiang party, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, Tang Shiji, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Wang Yingxiong, the secretary of the ministry, took advantage of the opportunity of Jingcha to frame us and others for forming a party for personal gain, the emperor is very angry, and everyone here, including me, will suffer a purge next!" ”
He has not spread the news, Wen Tiren in order to surprise Zhang Bin by surprise and try to cover it up, all, these people here are still in the dark.
As soon as his words fell, the entire conference room sounded a "hissing" inhalation, the temperament of the emperor today has been heard of by many people here, this emperor is the most disgusted people to form a party for personal gain, once it is determined that the party is for personal gain, it will definitely not end well.
The remnants of the eunuch party finally made a move, and they resorted to their usual tricks to fool the emperor and use the imperial power to clean them up!
Zhang Bin slowly glanced around again, and then continued: "According to the latest news, Lord Bi Maoliang has been ordered to return to his hometown, Lord Lu Xiangsheng has been removed from the post of Governor Xuanda and Shanxi Military Affairs and demoted to the governor of Daimyo Governor, and Lord Sun Chuanting Sun has been removed from the post of governor of the three sides, and returned to Beijing to defend himself and wait for further processing. I have also been dismissed from the post of governor of Fuguang, and Zhang Jie, the right deputy of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, who has taken over the post of governor of Fuguang, has already set off from the capital, and will arrive in Fuguang in about half a month. ”
When they decided to support Zhang Bin to fight against the remnants of the eunuch party, they thought that there would be such a day, and they all knew the means of the eunuch party, and they were normal to oppose them and be imprisoned in Jinyi Guard Prison and tortured to death.
Zhang Bin saw that there was no fear on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but nod secretly, he didn't see the wrong person, or that the loyal ministers and good generals who have passed the test of history are really extraordinary, and he immediately relieved: "You don't have to worry too much, we are not some treacherous ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people, on the contrary, we have also made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, which the emperor is very clear, so the emperor will not kill us all, he just listened to the slander of the remnants of the eunuch party, thinking that we are forming a party for personal gain, At most, we will be dismissed or demoted and given a warning. ”
It's just dismissal and demotion, so what's there to be afraid of, everyone here has become indifferent, and there is no pessimism or panic that will be purged, because they are all loyal ministers who are dedicated to the country and the people, and they have a clear conscience!
At this time, Zhang Bin suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "However, we can't just forget it, we can't let the remnants of the eunuch party mess with the dynasty and push the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of no return!" We have to fight back, we have to drive these treacherous villains out of the court, and we have a bright future! ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed high-spirited expressions, yes, they want to fight back, and they want to clean up this gang of treacherous villains who are causing trouble!
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss how to launch a counterattack against the remnants of the eunuchs, and their first target was Zhang Jie, the right deputy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, who was about to take over as the governor of Fuguang.
