In ancient Chinese history, the role of the literati was mainly a tool used by the supreme ruler to manage and balance the balance of power within the ruling class, and the mutual attack between the literati and factions would only consume the respective forces of both sides, and would not and could not pose a threat to the supreme ruler.

Compared with the literati, the military generals were the objects of vigilance of the kings of the past dynasties and the central court, after all, there are many examples of military generals rebelling, and every rebellion will bring great disasters to the whole country.

In order to solve the threat of military generals, the rulers of the past dynasties took great pains, and this problem was not basically solved until the Song Dynasty.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, and the way to be safe and complete in the world?

Everything is too much, since the Song Dynasty, the military has been unified by literature, which has indeed limited the generals, but it has also brought about a decline in the combat power of the army.

After the death of the Song Dynasty, the dynasty still adopted the policy of using literature to control the military, but when learning the lessons of the death of the Song Dynasty, there was a gradual trend of the convergence of civil and military, or as the military generals were restricted, so that the combat power of the army declined, the literati who required the commander of the army also needed to know about the military affairs.

Active in the Chongzhen period, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chuanting, who could fight, were all born in Jinshi and proper literati doctors.

Compared with the traditional military generals, these Confucian generals who know how to fight and are good at war, because they are deeply influenced by Confucian teachings, can have a restraint on themselves, so their threat to the emperor is undoubtedly smaller than that of traditional military generals.

This is also a harbinger of the military reform of the Ming Dynasty and the imminent modernization.

Wang Yan can be regarded as a military minister with this kind of civil and military convergence, while Jin Shenghuan can only be said to be a traditional military general.

In fact, if Jin Shenghuan was as strong as Wang Yan's power, then Longwu would definitely pull this Wang Yan to deal with Jin Shenghuan, but unfortunately the situation is just the opposite now.

When Long Wu saw Jin Shenghuan in front of him, he coughed a few times and said: "This defeat is not the fault of Qing, it is really the result of my rash attack on the enemy. ”

In Longwu's opinion, this battle may have no turning point, although he is critically ill, he also knows the situation of the army. In the battle of Jiangnan, they have already lost.

Such a big defeat must require someone to take responsibility.

If it is Emperor Chongzhen, it is estimated that he will have to find someone to take the blame now, but Emperor Longwu's experience is different from that of other clans after all, as he himself said, people are dying, and his words are also good, and he thinks most about the continuation of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu Ming Emperor when he is dying, not his personal reputation.

He is now relying on his last breath, hoping to do his part for the Zhu family and appease the generals who commanded the army.

Jin Shenghuan is also an old fritter, but he was indeed moved by the emperor's words and deeds, and said: "It is difficult for the ministers to repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Long Wu nodded slightly, "Qing and Chenggong, now he is the right-hand man of the Ming Dynasty, after the collapse, Qing should try his best to assist King Tang." Saying that, he turned his eyes to the king of Tang and said to him: "The emperor's younger brother inherits the unification, the new emperor ascends the throne, but Jin Chenggong is the king of Yanping, Huchen is the king of Dongping, Wang Deren and Sun Shoufa are the princes of the country." ”

After Wang Yan was crowned queen, the precedent of the king of the opposite sex was set, but everyone was still very shocked when they heard Longwu's words, this is to seal two kings in a row.

King Tang's face shook, but he soon understood Longwu's painstaking efforts, since he had made an exception, there was no need to hold on to the ancestral system, and Longwu himself did not seal it, saying that he would be sealed again after he ascended the throne, which was to give him the opportunity to show grace to the two generals.

Imagine that after the defeat of Jiangnan, the imperial court will inevitably be turbulent, and his new emperor will succeed to the throne, which is also the time when people's hearts are unstable.

Jin Shenghuan was also shocked, he didn't expect to be crowned king after defeat, but he thought about it carefully, but he also understood that there were conditions for sealing this king, that is, to ensure that King Tang could ascend the throne, and the emperor was painting him a cake and asking him to support King Tang.

But no matter what, being able to be crowned king is also the emperor's favor and love for him, although Jin Shenghuan has ambitions, he can be crowned king, which is already the limit of his current ambitions.

When he met such a king, how could he not be grateful and cold, and immediately bowed down again and again.

In fact, in addition, Longwu also has a layer of intention, that is, he hopes to make Wang Yan's title less valuable by sealing the king, and rely on improving the status of the two in order to be able to contain Wang Yan.

Longwu asked Jin Shenghuan to step aside again, and called Wan Yuan Ji to step forward and ordered: "If the military is successful, Huchen, the internal affairs will be entrusted to Qing and Guansheng, after the collapse, Qing and others must assist with their hearts, and they must not be lazy, in order to fight again." ”

Wan Yuan Ji wept and bowed, and Longwu then said to many officials in the hall: "Qing and others, I can't tell them one by one, I am willing to use my life and do my job." ”

After finishing speaking, Longwu's eyes were hollow, he didn't speak, and he looked at the roof blankly, as if what he should have explained had been explained.

But the emperor never mentioned Wang Yan from beginning to end, whether it was Tang Wang or Wan Yuan Ji and others were puzzled in their hearts, Wang Yan now has more than half of the Ming Dynasty's troops, sitting on several provinces, such an important person, why didn't the emperor mention it, it seems that Wang Yan is not important at all.

"Your Majesty, what about the Hengyang Domain?" Wan Yuan Ji reminded.

Longwu's face showed an indescribable look, and his feelings for Wang Yan Longwu were complicated.

On the way south from Hangzhou, Wang Yan saved his life, and then supported him in Wenzhou.

At that time, Longwu took Wang Yan as his confidant, talked about everything, sympathized with each other, had a common revenge and ideals, and the relationship was also a gentleman and a friend.

However, with the improvement of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, the two monarchs and ministers gradually drifted apart, and the two were at first seeking survival, but after the threat of survival was gradually lifted, the political differences between the two became prominent.

But we can share hardships and hardships, but we can't share prosperity and prosperity, this is human nature.

When Longwu was dying, he thought of this former righteousness of the monarch and minister, and felt a sense of regret, but now it was too late to say anything, and he didn't feel that he was at fault, the emperor's family was ruthless, and he was naïve and not good as an emperor.

Long Wu turned his head and looked at Wan Yuan Ji and said, "I have already left a letter to the Hengyang Domain. After the collapse, how to deal with the relationship with the Hengyang Domain, can only rely on Qing and others. ”

The emperor left a letter, not a will, and Wan Yuan Ji somewhat understood why the emperor didn't talk about Hengyang Domain. Because the emperor has not moved the Hengyang Domain, if the Hengyang Domain is an enemy of the imperial court, the emperor has no choice, on the contrary, if the Hengyang Domain is still interested in the imperial court, the emperor does not say it, and the Hengyang Domain will also help.

At this time, Long Wu waved his hand and said tiredly: "Don't think about me, while the soldiers still have some strength, break through as soon as possible." ”

After finishing speaking, the emperor coughed lightly, blood foamed everywhere, and his eyes gradually drifted.

At this moment, a general with one arm hanging suddenly broke in and cried: "Your Majesty, there is a boat on the river, a boat in the lake, woo~~"

Emperor Longwu, whose eyes were already dimmed, heard this shout, and the essence in his eyes actually gathered again, and tears of bean size poured out of his cloudy eyes.
