659 The ass decides the head
It didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to come over. When these important officials of the court looked at the emperor's face, although it was similar to usual, at least there was no trace of anger, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, if it was indeed summoned by the Korean War, then the result was estimated to not be bad.
After the salute, the first assistant Wen Tiren first asked the question in their hearts on behalf of his colleagues: "Your Majesty, is there a result of the Korean war?" ”
Looking at his somewhat expectant expression, Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, my Ming soldier has now returned to Phi Island by boat." ”
Returning by boat? That's it? This answer is a bit appetizing. However, Wen Tiren knew that the result must be good, so the emperor had the heart to make such an appetizing joke.
Thinking of this, he was also happy, so he asked happily: "Your Majesty, I don't know how the battle is going?" ”
This question tickled Emperor Chongzhen's itch, he glanced at the courtiers below, and saw that they were all paying attention, so he said lightly: "It's okay!" A total of 4,879 people were beheaded, and all of them became Jingguan. It's just a pity that Duoduo, the leader of the Jianyu, escaped, but all the grain was captured by our army, and it was also loaded on a ship and shipped back! ”
Hearing this, the Wenhua Hall was quiet for a while, and these important officials of the court looked at Emperor Chongzhen like that, and for a while, no one spoke.
After a long while, Shang Shushen of the Ministry of War confirmed again with a little disbelief: "Your Majesty, is it more than 400 or more than 4,000 beheadings?" The minister was in a trance for a while, and he didn't hear clearly! ”
In fact, he was not in a trance for a while, but he heard it, but he really couldn't believe it. You must know that before last year, the Ming army had been defeated, even if it repelled the siege of Jianyu, there was no head, and they all shouted that it was a great victory. Now it is said that there are more than 4,000 beheadings, which is a huge gap, and if you change a normal person, you will indeed suspect that there is something wrong with your ears, or that the emperor has made a mistake.
The other important ministers also had the same thoughts as Shen Yongmao, and they all stared at Emperor Chongzhen to see how he replied.
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, didn't answer immediately, entered the chat group, and gave the eunuch Cao Huachun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Xingzuo, and the first assistant Wen Tiren in the chat group, opened the permission to the picture folder of the Korean war, and then chatted with them privately: "There are photos as proof, let's take a look!" ”
In the Wenhua Palace, Shen Yongmao waited for a while, and when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't answer, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he even wondered if it could be that the emperor knew that he couldn't put down his face to correct the number of beheadings after being reminded by himself?
He waited for a while, and was about to ask again, but saw Wen Tiren turn to face his colleagues behind him, and said in an unusually high tone with excitement: "Your Majesty said that the number of beheadings is correct, and our Ming army has won a great victory!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and before they came back to their senses, they saw Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo both speaking one after another, and they both said that the number was correct. However, the two of them did not explain to the ministers, but directly congratulated the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the new army is surprising, and it is really the strongest army in my Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty has only trained the new army for half a year, and there is such a strong army, the slave and maid are convinced! Cao Huachun showed a look of admiration, and seemed to be on the verge of throwing himself to the ground.
Liu Xingzuo on the other side clenched his fists and played with high interest: "This is the first time that the last general has seen so many Jianyu heads, I have a new army in the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely be able to level Jianyu and recover Liaodong!" ”
Seeing the two of them like this, Wen Tiren also turned around, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the seized grain is far beyond the previous estimate. The minister thought that some grain could be allocated to the front line in Guanning, so that the grain originally planned to be transported to Guanning by the Jingshi side could be used in Hetao! ”
Originally, I heard a few of them talking about the correct number, a big victory or something. The other courtiers will be skeptical. But at this time, as soon as I heard Shoufu say about the disposal of grain, I immediately believed most of it.
After all, you said that the first level was used to base Jingguan and could not be inspected, but since the grain was delivered, it was a real thing, and it couldn't deceive people. Besides, since the grain can be captured, the Jianyu must have fought a big defeat and paid a heavy price.
Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan looked at Emperor Chongzhen a little nervously, if this is the case, the battle of North Korea, not only did not cause him trouble, but solved the trouble for him, he naturally cared the most.
Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wen Tiren's suggestion, thought about it, and did not agree immediately, but said to the ministers: "The reason why I sent you Aiqing is actually because there is something to discuss, and I want to hear your opinions!" ”
As soon as they heard this, the ministers immediately put on an appearance of listening attentively, waiting for the holy voice.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen gave a general account of the results of the Korean war, and then talked about the situation on Jianlu's side, including the dissolution of the alliance and the measures taken by Jianyu, and finally said to the ministers: "Although Jianyu has decided not to go west to Guihua City, I wondered, according to the original plan, will Gaizhou still have to fight for winter?" ”
Hearing this question, Bi Ziyan immediately said: "Your Majesty, since Jianyu is no longer going west, what are you going to fight, of course you won't fight!" ”
If you want to fight, money, food, ordnance, etc., are all consumed like flowing water, and for him, who is not wealthy, he is naturally able to save it.
At this time, he suddenly understood. The reason why the emperor didn't reply to Shousuke's suggestion before was because there was still such a thing, right?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Ziyan and knew that this answer was decided by the buttocks, so he skipped it directly, looked at the other courtiers, and waited for other proposals.
Wen Tiren pondered for a while, and when he saw that no one suggested to the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, since Jianyu's life is so sad, then you might as well give them more trouble, so that they will have no countermeasures to tide over the difficulties!" ”
As the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, he deeply sympathizes with the current situation of Jianyu, and it is because of this that he has this proposal, and it is best to kill those Jianyu.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he actually had this idea in his heart, but he didn't immediately agree with it, but continued to look at the others, and finally turned his gaze to the military department Shangshu.
This is a military matter, Shen Yongmao knew that he couldn't dodge, so he proposed to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the new army takes Gaizhou and insists on it for a winter, you might as well try." However, if there is a difficulty, the minister feels that the Ming Dynasty finally has such a strong army, and he must cherish it. ”
This answer is also true, Emperor Chongzhen evaluated in his heart, and looked at the others.
Auxiliary minister Zhang Zhifa has always been difficult to speak, he inadvertently glanced at Xue Guoguan, another auxiliary minister who had just returned to Beijing, and then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the new army's combat experience can be explained in detail, and the military department Shangshu and other colleagues will evaluate it!" ”
