Chapter 675: Lips and Teeth for Each Other
"University scholar, don't hide it, the subordinate did lie about his military exploits, but it was also a last resort."
Seeing Li Hongyu mention Yuan Keli, the scene suddenly fell silent, Mao Wenlong drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and then said to Li Hongyu with a gloomy expression:
"The Dongjiang River is not as good as the inner 6, it is deep behind the enemy, there is no financial source and it is difficult to raise it, and the supply of the imperial court is insufficient, so many people are waiting for dinner, and the lower officials are also forced to do so out of desperation, and want to ask for some rewards from the imperial court to live."
"Scholar, what the chief soldier said is very true, the imperial court only gave us military supplies, and did not include the people who need help here at all, and our military supplies cannot be supplied in full, so there is really no other way than to falsely report the war achievements."
Hearing this, everyone present was upset with Mao Wenlong, and was quite dissatisfied with the imperial court, knowing that they tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers and worked hard for Daming.
"Brothers, your difficulties are known to the official, and the difficulties of the imperial court are also known, and the official can only say that the imperial court has done its best in the Dongjiang River."
Li Hongyu knew that everyone must have felt aggrieved in their hearts, so he pressed down on his hands to calm down the scene and said, "Although the Ming Dynasty is rich, there are many places to spend money, and the finances of the imperial court are quite tight. β
"Let me tell you a good news, the emperor has given permission, and the material needs of the Dongjiang River have been assigned to the water division, so you don't have to worry about military supplies in the future."
Saying that, Li Hongyu smiled and said to everyone, "You can rest assured to kill the enemy in the future!" β
"That's great!" Hearing this, the generals immediately turned overjoyed, Li Hongyu had never owed the army a penny of food and salary when he was in Liaodong, and now that he is in a high position, he will naturally not do so.
"General Mao, you have dealt with Governor Yuan, Governor Yuan is a serious person, sometimes he doesn't know how to be flexible, but there is absolutely no malice, he guards Denglai to ensure that you don't have to worry about the future!"
Li Hongyu pondered for a while, looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "The most taboo thing to do when marching and fighting is internal discord, as the commander of the Dongjiang River, you must have a tolerant stomach." β
"What the university scholar said is extremely true, and the lower officials are taught."
Mao Wenlong bowed his hand to Li Hongyu when he heard this, and replied solemnly, Li Hongyu was right, Yuan Keli did take good care of him, but the breath in his heart was really hard to swallow, didn't Yuan Keli know that the Dongjiang River lacked grain and grass, could he let him loot?
Of course, the reason why Mao Wenlong was dissatisfied with Yuan Keli was naturally due to the factor of his own character, after becoming the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River and being given Shang Fangjian, it was inevitable that he would be a little fluttery, and he would become a little domineering when dealing with things.
Li Hongyu heard that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, even if Mao Wenlong's heart knot was difficult to eliminate, he should not complain about Yuan Keli as before, after all, Yuan Keli was his boss, and his grain and grass were all raised and supplied by Yuan Keli, and Yuan Keli did not contribute much to this.
In Li Hongyu's view, although the Dongjiang Army was a lone army far away from the Inner 6, from the perspective of the overall situation of the war, the Dongjiang Army was an important armed force to contain the Houjin, so that the Houjin did not dare to move south in a big way before destroying the Dongjiang Army.
Especially after the fall of Liaoxi, the role of the Dongjiang Army was particularly important, which would contain a lot of Houjin's troops, so that Houjin could not fight against the Ming army retreating to Shanhaiguan with peace of mind.
With Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong here, Li Hongyu is very relieved about the Dongjiang Army, Yuan Keli is a cadre, Mao Wenlong is a fierce general, the two can be said to complement each other, which will make it difficult for the rear of Houjin to stabilize.
It is precisely because of this that Li Hongyu was responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the Dongjiang Army after the opening of overseas trade, which was a strong check on the Houjin.
The so-called not in his position and not seeking his own government, Li Hongyu did not want to intervene in the grievances between Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong, but now that Yuan Keli was attacked by the Donglin Party in the court, he had to find a way to ease the contradiction between the two in order to alleviate the attack on Yuan Keli in the court.
As far as Li Hongyu knows, Yuan Keli is a cadre who is capable and resolute in his work, fair and honest, understands the overall situation, and is an out-and-out pragmatic faction.
Originally, Yuan Keli wanted to stay away from the party struggle and do some practical things, but unfortunately it backfired, the party competition in the Ming Dynasty was fierce, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and the Donglin Party attacked each other and quarreled endlessly, Yuan Ke immediately wanted to hide and couldn't dodge.
In the party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties, Yuan Keli, who was deeply worried about state affairs, tended to the Donglin Party, but he was not a Donglin Party, and he agreed with the Donglin Party's ideas but did not agree with the Donglin Party's empty talk, and wanted to avoid party contention and do more practical things.
However, this kind of person is the most tragic in the era of party strife, Yuan Keli thought that he could be neutral and wise to protect himself, but in fact he became the target of attacks by factions in the imperial court, after all, even Li Hongyu was labeled with the Chu party.
The result was miserable, and the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang were jealous of Yuan Keli for this, and those radical Donglin people also had opinions about him.
So, when there was a gap between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli, Song Zhenhan, the superintendent of the three party camps of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, united several Donglin people in the same year, Song Shixiang, Fang Youdu, and Pang Shanglian to impeach Yuan Keli.
However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse attached great importance to Yuan Keli, and was quite dissatisfied with the impeachment of Yuan Keli, and issued an edict to reproach: "The minister will stay and listen to the judges, and the officials should be in general terms with the people, and there is no need to criticize them in a row." β
Speaking of which, Yuan Keli and Gao Panlong, the leader of the Donglin Party, are the same year, have a close personal relationship, and they are both Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli, which can be described as having profound qualifications, and if he joins the Donglin Party, he will definitely not be constrained by so much.
Judging from historical data, Yuan Keli did not join the Donglin Party, and there was no Yuan Keli in the "Donglin Point General Record" compiled by the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang in the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
Li Hongyu attaches great importance to officials like Yuan Keli who are pragmatic and helps them to a greater or lesser extent.
However, Yuan Keli was not without roots in the court, in addition to being the same year as Gao Panlong, Sun Chengzong, who was also an auxiliary minister with Li Hongyu, admired him a lot.
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli were both examiners of the second year of the Apocalypse, so they persuaded the Emperor of the Apocalypse to hand over the defense of Liaohai to Yuan Keli, and relied on him very much, so that Yuan Ke could still stand even if he was impeached immediately.
Li Hongyu naturally will not come to Dongjiang Island empty-handed this time, and brought a large number of supplies to the Dongjiang Army, which made Mao Wenlong very happy, and the generals of the Dongjiang Army were greatly encouraged by this, they all used to work under Li Hongyu, and knew that Li Hongyu had always attached importance to military supplies, never withheld, and would definitely supply them in full, thus eliminating their worries.
After the reception banquet, Li Hongyu summoned Mao Wenlong and others to the council hall for discussion, although the Dongjiang Army was under the jurisdiction of Yuan Keli, but because Dongjiang Island was on the coast of North Korea, it was an important part of Li Hongyu's defense line on the Yalu River, so it was also under Li Hongyu's control.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to ****, this official will also include the Dongjiang River in the defense line of the Yalu River prepared by the imperial court, so that the Dongjiang Army will not fight alone here, and there is room for strategic maneuver."
After glancing around at the scene, Li Hongyu, who was sitting on the top position, said in a deep voice, "Once the defense line of the Yalu River is established, the Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army will be each other's horns. β
"Scholar, does the imperial court really want to block Jiannu west of the Yalu River?" Hearing this, one of the generals couldn't help but ask happily that once the Korean Army was established, the pressure on the Dongjiang Army would be drastically reduced.
"Our army lost in Liaodong, in order to contain Jiannu, building a defense line on the Yalu River is the best choice, and it can also shelter North Korea and Dongjiang Town."
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in an orderly manner, "Then, the Dongjiang Army's main attack and the North Korean Army's main defense will definitely make the rear of Jiannu unstable and reduce the pressure on the battlefield in western Liaoning." β
"Scholar, you have to be careful of the North Koreans, they are not good birds, they are very close to Jiannu, the reason why the general soldier was surrounded by Houjin by the forest back then was that the North Korean generals told the informant."
Hearing this, a general couldn't help but say hatefully, and in his words, he was haunted by the battle in Linpan back then, and if it wasn't for Mao Wenlong and others who fought bravely to kill the enemy, they would have died now.
"Yes, the scholars can't trust them easily, I knew that they were so ruthless and unjust, we should have allowed them to be swallowed up by the Japanese back then." When the generals present heard this, they echoed it one after another, and for a time they were full of excitement and vigilance against the DPRK.
Li Hongyu knew that these generals had grievances in their hearts, and he also understood why the North Korean army wanted to drive them away, after all, Donggang Island was on the south side of the Yalu River near the North Korean coast, and the Houjin army, which had no naval division, had to cross the Yalu River and pass through the border of Korea before attacking the territory of Donggang Town.
The Dongjiang Army did not have only one Dongjiang Island, and the Dongjiang Town under the command of Mao Wenlong was a large area that included Dongjiang Island, and even included some coastal areas of North Korea.
Considering that Li Hui wanted to preserve his strength, he was naturally quite jealous of the Dongjiang Army, and it was not surprising that he ordered the local Korean army to give the Dongjiang Army a cold reception.
"This kind of thing will not happen again in the future, the king of Joseon has taken the throne, and the new king of Joseon will fully support the Ming Dynasty in fighting against Jiannu."
Therefore, Li Hongyu smiled slightly and said to everyone, telling them a good news.
"Scholar, the king of Joseon wants a Zen position?" Mao Wenlong was stunned when he heard this.
He knew that Li Hui was not an easy person to deal with, otherwise their current situation would not be so difficult, Li Hui adopted a policy of blocking the Dongjiang Army, making it difficult for it to obtain supplies from North Korea, how could a person with a powerful wrist like Li Hui easily Zen position?
"Next month, the emperor's decree to approve the throne of the king of Joseon should arrive, and you will personally lead a team to congratulate you, and I have prepared a congratulatory gift for you." Li Hongyu smiled, in order to have a good relationship with the North Korean Army, Mao Wenlong had to do enough of these etiquettes.
"Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely go there in person at that time." Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu that this time he had no worries and could concentrate on harassing Houjin's hinterland.
Although Mao Wenlong still doesn't know about Hanchengsheng, he can be sure that Li Hui's Zen position must be related to Li Hongyu, otherwise Li Hui is so good why would he give up the throne to others?
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing I must tell you, you don't need to worry about the North Korean army on the Yalu River defense line, they are formed by the military attachΓ© of the new army, they are your brotherly division, you can go around more if you have time."
In order to reassure the generals of the Dongjiang Army, Li Hongyu glanced around at the scene with a slight bow to Mao Wenlong, and then explained in a loud voice the origin of the North Korean army stationed on the defense line of the Yalu River.
"I see!" When Mao Wenlong and the others heard this, their faces immediately turned happy, in this case, wouldn't those North Korean troops become their own people?
"Don't worry, I'll definitely go and ask for a drink." Subsequently, Mao Wenlong said to Li Hongyu with a smile, this time he was completely relieved, since Li Hongyu has intervened in North Korean affairs, what else does he have to worry about in the future?
