Chapter 321: The Battle for Titles
Seeing the envoy sent by Sun Kewang, Yang Weizhi, Yan Qiheng, the secretary of the Southern Ming Army, said to everyone: "Now that the Tartars have successively captured the two provinces of Huguang and Jiang (West), Yang Xuan claims to be loyal and righteous, and should have done his best to support the Hunan and Jiangxi Ming armies.
On that day, the old man rushed to Shuzhong without relenting in the hardships, and repeatedly exhorted the other party to be able to fight against the Tartars together with the Liukou, and he kept saying that Yungui is the gateway to Sichuan, and if Yungui does not protect Sichuan, the back road is not guaranteed.
Let's see, this is our loyal minister, who has been staying until the end of last year, exterminating a Tusi today, and eradicating a rebel army tomorrow, but not mentioning the righteousness of the country.
It's good now, the bandits can't be suppressed, and they actually drove the rogue to the emperor, and his heart can be punished. ”
At that time, the DPRK was divided into two parties, one party to Li Chengdong, He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and other local princes as one side, they were headed by Li Chengdong's son Li Yuanyin, and his henchmen included the Southern Ming Dynasty official Zuodu Yushi, the Ministry of Rites Liu Xiangke, the official department to the matter in the Ding Shikui, the engineering department left to the matter in the Jinbao, the right to the household branch to the matter in the Meng Zhengfa and other five people collectively called the "five tigers".
Yuan Pengnian is the "tiger head", "if it is not the Tiger Party, if it is not the Tiger Party, it will not happen, and it will become a Tiger City on Xingyan Road".
In addition to the Chu Party, there are many powerful factions in the West and Guangxi, led by Ma Jixiang, Yan Qiheng, Wu Zhenyu, Chen Bangchuan and others, known as the Wu Party.
The two factions are constantly arguing because of various things, and now seeing the Wu Party speak, how can the Chu Party stand by and watch, not to mention that the main supporters of the Chu Party are Li Chengdong and other powerful factions in the imperial court, and the only ones who can be rescued in the future are probably the Sichuan Volunteers.
On the same day, Yang Xuan decided to quell the rebellion of Li Gande, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others, and the emperor promised it.
Sun Kewang was afraid of the volunteers, and saw the volunteers kill and lead the troops to escape, which shows that the volunteers are a rare force in the world.
Yan Qiheng shook his head and said, "Yang Xuan, isn't this cutting off dissidents and supporting the army's self-respect?" In the past, I heard that he had always advocated Lian Kou Pingyu, but now how can he actually go out of the cloud (south, attack Sun Kewang.
Attacking Sun Kewang will attack Sun Kewang, Yang Xuan is good, and he actually drove Sun Kewang to Guang (West, isn't this a flanking emperor?)
Meng Zhengfa shook his head and said, "Yan Shoufu, how did Sun Kewang escape, and how did Penghou know?"
If Penghou can command Sun Kewang how to escape, then Penghou is a heavenly immortal. ”
Zhang Tongchang, the governor next to him, sighed and said: "Back then, Zhuge Wumu went on a northern expedition and first pacified the rebellion in Nanzhong. Today, if the volunteers want to go east, how can they abandon Yungui and be more expensive than the rogues, so that the rear will be unstable, and they may fall into the hands of the rogues again at any time?
Those who slandered Penghou, said that they were divided into one side, and that they were expanding their territory and opened their eyes and said nonsense.
Now that the Liukou has been shattered, and now Sun Kewang is even more threatening, it is time for the two sides to stop making peace, go on a northern expedition, and overcome the Central Plains. ”
Even so, these people quarreled endlessly, and everyone held on to their opinions, looking for all kinds of evidence in their favor to prove what they thought.
And when everyone was arguing, Yang Xuan's envoy Ran Lin also arrived, and the Ming Volunteer Army had already controlled most of Yun (South, hoping to appoint Yin Chengqi as Yun (Southern Governor, Lei Yuelong as Yun Nan's envoy, and Fan Wen Guang as Yun Nan's prefect.
It is hoped that Yang Xuan will be the hereditary prefect of Mahu Prefecture, Yin Chengqi will be the hereditary prefect of the county, and Yang Jingxin will be the hereditary county of Mengzizhi.
It was hoped that Yang Xuan would be appointed as the governor of the six provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangzhou, so as to lead his troops to the east.
Hearing this, the two factions were in an uproar.
Hu (south is the territory of the Chu party, Yang Xuan asked to be appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, isn't this a land grab?
Wu sent a cabinet scholar Yan Qiheng, and Wu Zhenyu, a scholar of the household department, found a reason and threatened above the court: "Your Majesty, this Yang Xuan is really hateful, when we were fighting with the Tartars, he actually wanted to serve as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, and wanted to divide the land of a mansion, isn't it obvious that he wants to tear the soil and seal the marquis?"
If all the princes are like Yang Xuan, is the world still called the world? ”
At this time, Zhang Tong came out and said a fair word: "Scholar Yan's words are different, Yang Xuan is a self-security strategy, the volunteers have made great achievements, Yang Xuan made such a decision for self-security."
Ladies and gentlemen, the place that Yang Xuan seeks to be rewarded is different from others, Mahu Mansion, Mengzi, Yuanmou County and other places used to be local Tusi, and the local officials can inherit the position, of course Yang Xuan's meritorious service can. ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that many people were greedy for cheapness, and some ridiculed Yang Xuan for wanting to be a hereditary local official, which was quite contemptuous.
In ancient times, many people sat in wells and watched the sky, and everyone did not have enough understanding of ethnic minority areas, and even after each expedition, few people were willing to stay and make toast.
If a local magistrate like Yang Xuan is only willing to inherit a toast in a certain place, many people take it for granted that they will lose their worth.
But on the other hand, many people think that if Yang Xuan is appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, the power is too great, and the Ming Dynasty originally only had 13 provinces in the north and south, and Yang Xuan asked the governor to 6 provinces, so the power is too great.
Ran Lin disagreed, and explained to everyone: "Liegong, Penghou asked to serve as the province of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangxing, is there nothing wrong?"
Let's think about it, most of Shaanxi, Gansu and Guangxing Province are still in the hands of the Tartars, which is obviously not worthy of the name.
What Penghou can really control is only the land of the two provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan and the land of Hanzhong and Longdong, which is only a part of the state. If the imperial court wants to go on the Northern Expedition, it must always give Penghou a name, so what is the name of Penghou for the Northern Expedition?
Wouldn't he go to Huguang Province in the name of the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu to appoint and dismiss officials and exercise his powers?
The emperor, a member of Jin Shenghuan's rebel general, He Tengjiao was selfish, and the emperor loved him during his lifetime, and was posthumously crowned king after his death.
Penghou is famous for his meritorious deeds, and he was ridiculed for asking for a local official, and it was not possible to ask for a justifiable official title for the sake of the Eastern Crusade, and Penghou was really wronged. ”
Yan Qiheng retorted: "Senator Ran, you said that Penghou is aggrieved, aren't we all aggrieved?"
Yang Xuan disobeyed the holy order many times, and this time he actually drove Sun Kewang to Banzai's side, his heart was vicious, it can be imagined.
Yang Xuan was insatiable, and he actually sought the governor of the six provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangxing Province, so that the emperor would not be aggrieved to give him the world? ”
Li Yuanyin also retorted: "Sophistry, it's really a quibble." Yang Xuan immediately asked for the governor of the six provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, so that the province of his power was no different from the separation.
Yang Xuan is located in the southwest and has its own system.
The Ming Dynasty is in the autumn of survival, if Yang Xuan serves as the governor of the six provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, how will the imperial court restrain him in the future.
Yang Xuan can also serve as the governor of the six provinces, but he must send his children to Xingzai as hostages. ”
After arguing like this for several days, news came from Sun Kewang, that is, the volunteers captured Guangnan Mansion, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, was killed in battle.
Hearing the news, Yan Qiheng said: "Yun (Nan Mu's family was originally the son of Hong Wuye, guarding Yun (Nan for more than two hundred years, Yang Xuan killed him for no reason, it is really a crime that cannot be punished.
Emperor, Yang Xuan, in the name of Penghou and the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, dared to attack Yun (Nan, he dared to kill Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, if he was given the real power of the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, who knows if he would do something rebellious at that time? ”
Ran Lin retorted: "Of course Penghou acted according to his orders, and before he set off, he wrote to the emperor, claiming to avenge Yang Zhan's general army and crusade against Liukou Sun Kewang.
On the other hand, Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, was arrogant and extravagant, first provoking the rebellion of Yuanmou Tusi Wubikui, and then causing the rebellion in Shadingzhou, and now he is even more in refuge with the Liukou and the Volunteer Army, disrupting our rear, causing our Northern Expeditionary Army to be unable to dispatch for a long time.
The prince of Qianguo Mu Tianbo is deserved, what does this have to do with Penghou? ”
So the court quarreled endlessly, and it was impossible to be sure.
For a month, I don't know why the war in Guixi suddenly stopped.
Chen Bangchuan, the Duke of Qingguo who guarded Nanning, claimed that Sun Kewang's Great Western Army had promised to return to the Southern Ming Dynasty and asked the court to make him a duke.
Penghou Yang Xuan led his troops to quell the rebellion, hoping that the imperial court would appoint him as the Duke of Qianguo, the general of Zhengnan, the cabinet scholar of the Yingwu Palace, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou.
In order to avoid adding fuel to the fire, Emperor Yongli decided to adopt Li Yuanyin's opinion and appointed Yang Xuan as a scholar of the Yingwudian University, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Ganyun.
It was agreed that Yang Xuan hereditary Mahufu Tusi, Yin Chengqi hereditary Yuanmou Tusi, and Yang Jingxin hereditary Mengzi Tusi.
Agreed to appoint Yin Chengqi as the governor of Yun (south, Lei Yuelong as the envoy of Yunnan.
Emperor Yongli sent the governor Zhang Tongchang to Kunming to reward Yang Xuan and appointed Guan Yinxi as the governor of Guihuguang.
