Chapter 440: Anton Hou
Obviously, Chongzhen's old suspicious mistake has been committed again.
But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, he still understood what Chen Xinjia said, which was indeed the best way at the moment, at this time, he only heard Chen Xinjia continue:
"Your Majesty, the general army of Shandong Wang Zheng relied on nothing more than popular rumors, through this name to play Shandong, if Your Majesty decrees to add its marquis, you can mention the word "Anton" and look at its heart, so that the Shandong army can not only be on the cusp of the storm, but also show Your Majesty's magnanimous heart. ”
Chen Xinjia can mix in the high position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, and his mouth kung fu is obviously not a vegetarian, seeing Chongzhen's displeasure, he quickly stopped, threw out the so-called plan of killing three birds with one stone, and slapped a fart.
In his words, he almost attributed the idea he proposed to the emperor, which also made Chongzhen, who was unhappy in his heart, calm down again.
I have to say that Chen Xinjia's words still spoke to Chongzhen's heart, and the ministers echoed him, which made Chongzhen have to think carefully.
Suddenly, Li Banghua, the imperial historian of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate who returned to his hometown to guard his father, stood up, and not long after, his loud voice suddenly filled the entire Imperial Palace:
"Chen Shangshu, Wang Zheng is a big rebellion! Not long ago, he was already openly confronting the imperial court and disobeying the emperor's orders, this time without punishment is already the holy grace of the Son of Heaven. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xinjia scoffed, and scolded the nosy Li Banghua thousands of times in his heart.
Majesty, the majesty of the court has long been gone, that is, you Li Banghua is still talking about it all day long, and now it is the most important thing to keep Wang Zheng on the side of the court, do you understand the difference between priority and priority.
But just now those Chen Xinjia also thought about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it at all, in the face of Li Banghua's loud questioning, Chen Xinjia said with a smile:
"What Li Yushi said is good, it can be called great loyalty and righteousness, heaven and earth can be learned, and the world is a model for scholars!"
Having said this, Chen Xinjia's face suddenly became very solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"But if Wang Zheng is dissatisfied with this and leads the Shandong army of 200,000 soldiers to the north, will you Li Banghua go to meet the battle with your mouth?"
After saying this, there were a lot of sneers and ridicules in the quiet Imperial Palace, in fact, whether it was Chen Xinjia or Li Banghua, they were all rare outspoken ministers, and they had offended many people.
Seeing these two people pinching up, those Donglin civil officials naturally looked like they were watching a good show.
However, it didn't take long to pinch, Li Banghua didn't say anything for a long time, and finally stood back with a sigh of relief.
Everyone knows that Yang Sichang, who supervised the teacher last time, became more and more chaotic, and it was originally a mess, and it was not much better after he took over, and he ended up committing suicide and ruining his reputation.
Yang Sichang learned from the past, who else dares to supervise the division easily, and this time it is not a thief who has to deal with it, but a soldier of the Shandong Army, how can it be the same day.
"Let's make a decision!"
After saying these three words, Emperor Chongzhen left directly with his sleeves, and the ministers wiped their cold sweat and hurriedly retreated.
......
Although the emperor's resolution has come down, the major yamen of the Beijing division still need to take a lot of trouble, even if the holy decree has been prepared on the same day, it is not so easy to send it out from the Beijing division, and there are many procedures in the middle.
Each one is controlled by special officials, which is a rare and good time for them to make a lot of money, how can they easily let it go.
By the time Ti Cai and the eunuch rushed out of the Forbidden City with the holy decree in hand, the time had already reached the beginning of December of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and it seemed that this year was about to pass.
When the Jingshi reacted, it had been half a year since the Shandong army sent troops to take Cangzhou, and in such a long time, almost the entire Hejian Mansion had fallen into the hands of Wang Zheng.
Those disobedient civil and military officials and family members were basically damned after the "Hongmen Banquet", and without these constraints, two farming farms were built near Cangzhou as quickly as possible.
The Ming army in various places has been abolished and changed so far, and has been replaced by foreign soldiers and horses attached to the Shandong army, and many veterans of the Shandong army who have made considerable military achievements have been selected here to serve as grass-roots officers and specially train new soldiers.
There are also officials of the Military Division, and they have also successively set up branch offices near Cangzhou, and the local Zhizhou Yamen has lost real power since the moment Wang Zheng entered the city.
Having said that, because Wang Zheng ordered the north-south transportation to be cut off, although it caused a lot of harm to business travel and freight, it can be said that a windfall was made during this time.
Many businessmen who were originally reluctant to deal with the Shandong army in Nanzhili were forced to do business with the Shandong army in private because they could not transport goods.
On the other hand, after the deed of sale is signed, the benefits obtained are naturally great.
In late December, when Wang Zheng was still stabilizing the surrounding situation in Cangzhou, the imperial court's decree finally came down.
Wang Zheng was ready to be rejected again, but this time the will was unexpected, Emperor Chongzhen not only did not refuse, but instead raised his title to a level - "Anton Hou".
This is an unexpected situation, originally the Shandong army in Cangzhou City sharpened their knives and was preparing to march towards the big city of Shuntianfu and completely throw a bombshell at Chongzhen. 、
At the military meeting before departure, even Li Yan thought that Chongzhen, who had an arrogant personality, would not agree to this rather rude request so easily, but in fact, Chongzhen agreed very happily.
Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, this is still caused by the underestimation of its own strength by the Shandong army, and now it is useless to blame itself, and before it can start, there is this incident, and the order of the Shandong army is greatly messed up, so the guidelines and policies for the next step are urgently needed.
On the day when the holy decree came, Ti Cai was entertained by Deng Mao, the garrison of Cangzhou, and Lu Qianning, the governor of Cangzhou, as for the eunuch, now Wang Zheng is too lazy to pay attention to it, even if he wants to give the money, it is not certain whether the other party dares to ask for it.
That night, several Jingshi Tiqi were poured into the big crime, obviously they hadn't enjoyed such a good hospitality for a long time, everyone got the silver sent by Deng Mao, and they were discussing whether to go to the Qinglou to find a few Cangzhou girls to have fun.
When they came out of the side room, they saw many military generals in well-dressed clothes and armor walking into the main hall from them, and each of these soldiers and generals of the Shandong Army had serious faces, as if they were going to discuss something important.
As if out of curiosity, one of the riders was about to take a closer look with the strength of his wine, but he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by another one.
"Why are you going, you don't want to die?"
"Hurry up, this kind of thing is not something you and I can interfere with, and if you leave late, I'm afraid of losing my life!"
These words were like a basin of cold water poured on the head of the original Ti Cai, and he suddenly became extremely sober, and seeing that there seemed to be no attention from the Shandong army, the three of them hurriedly wanted to leave.
But before they could take a few steps, a really hearty size came from afar, Deng Heizi walked over with a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice:
"It turns out that a few people haven't left yet, just right! Our family is handsome... Oh no, it's Anton now, I'm going to invite a few of you to listen to it next. ”
Speaking of this, Deng Heizi smiled and asked:
"Although a few of them are from the prosperous place of Beijing, they won't even give this face, at least they have to let them go back and deal with Anton Hou in the next place!"
The three horsemen shouted aggrieved in their hearts, this thing happened, I really wanted to slap myself a few times, I had nothing to do with this, the court couldn't help it, I was so busy.
Although the identity of the general of the Shandong Army on the other side is unknown, some clues can still be seen from the armor on his body.
Compared with the Shandong generals I have seen all the way, this person is obviously different, with plush accessories around the chain armor on the upper body, and leg skirts on the lower body, all of which are shining in the dim night.
Obviously, this person's status in the Shandong Army is obviously not low, although he has always been smiling, but the three horsemen still feel cold behind him.
If he was really invited to participate in the deliberations, he would not believe that he was killed, and he was nervous and wondered wildly, could it be that he had just eaten and drunk so much, which angered Anton.
