204 Dismantling the Guanning Warlord Trend
To be honest, when he heard Liu Wang's relay, Hu Guang really doubted whether Wu Sangui had crossed over and would say this?
But looking back, at this time, shouting this sentence and making similar actions does have the effect of boosting the morale of the court, and it is also very good for Hu Guang's temper.
And Wu Sangui is also just behind the gate, and he has the conditions to read and write, and it is not uncommon to be familiar with historical allusions. In addition, he can leave such a big reputation in history, and his own political sense, even if he is still young, will not be low.
At this time, Wu Sangui, like a newborn calf, has a sharp spirit that those veterans do not have, and it is particularly precious when there are many veterans in the late Ming Dynasty.
It was up to Hu Guang to choose Wu Sangui and those veterans, even if Wu Sangui was not mature now, he would rather choose Wu Sangui than those veterans.
Therefore, Hu Guang's first thought after hearing the news was to reward Wu Sangui and use it as a model. By the way, there is another problem that can be solved.
At this time, Zu Dashou, who was standing below, couldn't help but smile happily when he saw that Wu Sangui, a nephew, was so valued by the emperor.
But it is true that this nephew is the most outstanding among the descendants of the Zu and Wu clans. I have always been optimistic about this nephew and gave strong support.
Zu Dashou smiled and thought back in his heart, at that time, he knew the information of the three thousand Mongolian Tatars, and there was no doubt that the most elite eight hundred cavalry troops could be won here. It's just that I didn't expect that this nephew turned out to be very smart, improvised, and very bright, and his morale was very bright, and it could be seen that it was also very much in line with the emperor's appetite, which was really good! It is estimated that this time it is at least a staff general, and even a deputy general is possible!
He was thinking about it, when he saw Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smile, glanced at the ministers, and said loudly: "Garrison Wu Sangui, make great contributions, increase my Ming morale, raise my Ming prestige, I am very relieved, I am very relieved, I am specially appointed as the general of the conquest, and he is appointed as the chief military officer of Jinzhou, Qin this!" ”
In the original history, Wu Sangui's famous battle was Chongzhen for three years, and he only led dozens of horsemen to rescue his besieged father Wu Xiang from tens of thousands of Jianyu troops. got a legendary reputation of "filial piety on the nine sides, bravely crowning the three armies", and was therefore named a guerrilla.
And in this plane, Wu Sangui was like Han Zhihuo to get sick, and he also only led 800 cavalry troops to conquer the Tartars and won a big victory. Of course, there are differences, Huo Qugui's big victory is far from being comparable to Wu Sangui's this time, in addition, Huo Quzhi was one year younger than Wu Sangui at the time, only seventeen years old.
In any case, Wu Sangui relied on his own ability to be a general at the age of eighteen and became the chief military officer of the town guarding the side, which is also unique in the Ming Dynasty! It can be seen from this that Wu Sangui has won the Sacred Heart this time, and he is really rewarded!
However, in the amazement and envy of a group of civil and military officials, another group of people were stunned, including Zu Dashou himself, this is not right!
Shoufu Wen Tiren was also a little speechless in his heart, but he couldn't figure out whether the emperor did it on purpose. As the first assistant, he still had to be reminded, so he went out to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Jinzhou already has Wu Xiang, the chief military officer, and Wu Sangui is his son!" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a sudden realization, and then immediately said: "This is my temporary negligence, in this way, isn't there a shortage of Datong general soldiers, so Wu Xiang will be transferred to Datong as the chief military officer!" There are two generals in one family, and the Wu family is really my Ming general! ”
In this way, the conflict just now will be resolved, and the emperor's golden words will not be a problem, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and everyone will be happy.
However, while Zu Dashou was happy for the Wu family, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But Wen Tiren is different, he is the emperor's confidant, and when he discussed the personnel of Liaodong with the emperor several times, he already understood that both the emperor and himself were a little worried about the warlordization of Liaodong.
This is mainly due to the fact that Zu Dashou was able to take the army away from the capital city. The root cause lies in the fact that there is no supervising army in the Guanning Army, and there is no Liaodong governor to restrain them, and the relationship between the generals of the Guanning Army is intertwined, and most of them are relatives or family members of Zu Dashou.
Although Zu Dashou was secretly promoted and transferred out of Guan Ningjun, He Kegang and Cao Wenzhao and others were also mentioned. But there is still Wu Xiang, the old army leader, on the side of the Guan Ning Army, and the people of other ancestral lines also have leaders.
Now that the emperor temporarily used Wu Sangui's matter, although the Wu family had an additional general soldier, he was able to transfer Wu Xiang away. With Wu Sangui's current age and qualifications, he must not be compared with Wu Xiang.
If this is not done, the transfer of Zu Dashou and then the direct transfer of Wu Xiang will definitely cause a backlash from the Zu and Wu families. can promote Wu Sangui to the chief soldier and occupy Wu Xiang's position, but it can somewhat alleviate the dissatisfaction of the ancestors and Wu families and appease them.
Thinking so, Wen Tiren understood the emperor's intentions. Suddenly, he couldn't help but glance at the emperor twice, and then immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, how could he not know that Wen Tiren's reference to Shengming was not about resolving the conflict, but about preliminarily solving the problem of the warlord tendencies in the Guanning army. This was indeed a trick that he thought of temporarily, and he was complimented by Wen Tiren, and he was also a little proud in his heart.
But this is not the time to be happy. Hu Guang thought in his heart, so he sat back on the throne, and waited until the quiet whip sounded and the Imperial Palace was quiet again. He glanced at the ministers, and suddenly his face became serious.
After a while, after accumulating a little serious atmosphere, Hu Guangguang said in a loud voice: "I said that in this war, all the cities in the land of Gyeonggi, the whole city, must work together to resist, and those who dare to surrender will be punished by the nine clans, regardless of the false surrender and the real surrender!" But as long as you can block the siege of the city, the court officials will all be promoted beyond the ranks, and the people of the city will be exempt from tax for three years! Therefore, the people of Changli are all tax-free for three years, and I will never break my word! ”
When he talked about this, the civil and military officials in the Imperial Palace all knew that the focus of what the emperor said was by no means that the people of Changli were exempt from tax for three years, but something else!
Sure enough, after the emperor said this, his voice suddenly became stern, and he only heard him say loudly: "Fifteen people, including Zhang Yangchu of Yongping Zhixian County, Bai Yangcui of Bingbei Dao, Yang Wenkui, and Yang Shengyuan, a guerrilla general, surrendered to Jianjiao, ignoring my will, and causing countless casualties to the people of Yongping. I will also keep my promise to punish the nine tribes of these traitors, and to make an example of them, and to sacrifice the people who died in vain! ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and after scanning the ministers with cold eyes, he shouted loudly again: "Even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I will not stop!" ”
