Chapter 19: Myanmar Strategy (6)
Yang Zai hesitated for a moment, "In the following words, you should just listen to the old man's words, don't take it seriously." ”
After everyone repeatedly promised that it would not be disseminated, Yang Zaicai continued to talk about his "secret story of the red wall".
"The change of Tumubao, as far as the old man knows, has the following doubts: Wang Zhen is afraid that the army will damage the crops in his country, so he bypasses Xuanfu; Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Guo Deng, the chief soldier of Datong, and others, held heavy troops and refused to rescue, but they could also be added to the ranks; Before the Tumu Fort, several large granaries of the imperial court did not support the Western Expeditionary Army that lacked food, and after the Tumu Fort, Yu Qian only took six days to transfer all the grain from the seven large granaries of the military department to the Beijing Division; The defenders of the Eastern Front fled without a fight and were taken advantage of by the Warat, but the news was sent out after several days of the Jingshi, causing the car to be surrounded by the Warat. ”
None of the people present were historical idiots, and the change of Tumubao was equivalent to the modern history of the Ming Dynasty. After Yang pointed out a few questions, everyone fell into a deep thought.
Yang Zaicai didn't bother to wait for them to think: "It was August, and it was cold in the north, where did the crops come from in the fields?" It is a capital offense to refuse to rescue with heavy troops, but nothing happened to these two people..."Everyone listened attentively, and no one noticed the sound of the roof cracking.
"Before the civil fort, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was responsible for commanding the troops, and the military department was responsible for the deployment of troops. In the battle of Tumu Fort, the Xungui group was exhausted. The Ministry of War is headed by civilian officials. During the Jingtai period, Yu Qian organized and trained the ten regiment battalions, and one person in the ten regiments and battalions was the commander of the military department or the imperial history, and from then on, the military power was all attributed to the civilian officials. This is what happened later. ”
"Besides, the Western Expeditionary Army was short of food, but it was Yu Qian, the squire of the military department at that time, who was in charge of logistics. If Yu Qian wanted Emperor Ka Yingzong's food, he wouldn't be sprayed to death by the ministers? Therefore, I privately thought that Yu Qian had the support of the court Chinese officials. ”
"Emperor Yingzong went out to --- army and did not transport food--- Emperor Yingzong returned to the army to eat--- the defenders of the eastern front fled without a fight--- Emperor Yingzong was surrounded by Wara--- Emperor Yingzong was captured, the Xungui group was completely wiped out--- the Beijing division defended the food before the war, and he was also defeated and fled first--- and fled without a fight. Do you understand? ”
There was a sudden realization in the room, and there was a sound of high-fives and admiration.
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Xie Yang Shangshu taught me! The people who were being made by Yang hurriedly bowed. Some old and lowly officials still wanted to take this opportunity to apprentice, so frightened that Yang Zai hurriedly refused--- God knows what kind of speculation these people are going to do and involve him?
"Okay, okay, the old man is only a shallow learner, how can he be a teacher? Don't bother the old man. Yang Zai raised his hand triumphantly. However, at the time of the civil fort, the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and it was a strategy that did not hurt the country. At this time, it is a time of stormy and panic, and it must not be used again. When the country is stable... Can you save it? ”
"We can save it."
gave the civil officials a shot of strength, and Yang Zai got up to serve tea and sent off the guests. As soon as they left, Yang Zai called the old servant to change his clothes.
Seeing that the civil officials were gone, the Jinyi guards, who had been hiding on the roof, commanded Ren Zixin to jump down from the roof with the help of the wall, and rushed to the palace in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ren Zixin came to Zhu Youlang's side, he knelt on his knees, panting. "Your Majesty, the minister just routinely snooped on the news, lying on the roof of Yang Shangshu, and it just so happened that Yang Shilang invited all the civil officials to gather at his house, and the minister heard a shocking secret on the roof!"
"Oh? What's the secret? ”
"It's about the change of the civil fort more than two hundred years ago."
"Does it mean that Emperor Yingzong was deliberately defeated by Jingshi Wenchen?"
Ren Zixin was shocked. "Your Majesty was born to know! That's what the minister just heard! ”
"In addition to these, what else did Yang Shangshu say?"
Yang Shangshu also said that now is the time when the country is in danger, and such means cannot be used.
"Hmph, even if he still knows how to measure!" Zhu Youlang snorted.
"When the country is stable, it's not too late for them to use it."
Zhu Youlang was furious when he heard this, and pushed the tea cup in his hand to the ground. Accustomed to being an emperor, he can no longer control his temper so much. With a "ding" sound, the broken porcelain pieces splashed on the ground, and the tea that was splashed on the ground was still steaming.
The little eunuch who was standing on the side hurriedly came over with a broom, hurriedly swept the broken porcelain pieces in and ran away.
"Bold! What a bastard! "Zhu Youlang was about to let Tiqi take people, but he heard an announcement outside." Your Majesty, Yang is begging to see you! ”
Yang Zai had just died at home, and then he came to look for me? Zhu Youlang was confused, thinking about it, he decided to meet him first.
"Ren Zixin, you go to the other room and wait first."
Yang patted the dust on his official uniform and walked in and knelt in front of Zhu Youlang.
"The minister found something shocking, and he didn't dare to hide his secrets, so please tell Your Majesty."
Zhu Youlang touched his chin. "Let's talk, Yang Shangshu, I'm listening."
"The change of the civil fort, actually..."
Yang Zai stated to the emperor again the change in the Tumu Fort that he had sorted out, and then said: "Because of the previous incident of Lu Guisheng, the minister wanted to see if there was such a treacherous evil in the courtiers' ranks, so he dared to use this matter to test... Outcome... No one even refuted Yu Chen! ”
Zhu Youlang was confused, he settled down, and his heart said. "Yang Zai, Yang Zai, what kind of operation are you, the front foot to encourage people's hearts, and the back foot to come to inform, this kind of two-headed eating practice is to bully me and be a fool. Won't you be suspicious? However, after comparing the rhetoric of the two, Zhu Youlang didn't find anything Yang Zai was hiding.
"What if Ren Zixin is colluding with Yang?"
"No, he is not the only one who is in Jinyiwei, if he colludes, others will definitely reciprocate. Stepping on the corpse of a colleague is something that many people like to see. ”
Zhu Youlang closed his eyes and was silent.
Yang Zaize stood in front of Zhu Youlang with a panicked expression and trembling limbs. "Could it be that Your Majesty is angry?"
"I ask you, if you provoked them, why did you report it yourself? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to stir up public opinion? ”
"I can't bear to see the Ming Dynasty harmed by this generation of fools! In the eyes of this generation, there are only scholars, how can there be a Ming Dynasty? Whoever they are, as long as they protect their land, slaves, and slaves, they are loyal to whom! It was these selfish villains who dragged the entire Ming Dynasty from the back of the civil fort to the abyss! Yang Zai had an indignant face, and he complained deafeningly against this group of civil officials, as if he had forgotten that he was the highest ranking among civil officials.
"Yang Aiqing is really loyal to the country, I know. But if you were me, what would you do? ”
Zhu Youlang's eyes revealed some expectations.
Yang Zai has only left a name in history, at least Zhu Youlang barely knew any information about him before crossing over. What kind of person is this minister who has been obliterated by history?
