Chapter VI: Monarchs and Ministers

Zhou Guan sneaked out of Anlong as scheduled and went to Li Dingguo's army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info sent Zhou Guan away, but Wu Zhenyu was summoned to the palace because of another matter.

"The commander of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and the general military officer An Yuanhou Chen Wen first recovered Quzhou last year and killed Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. His Royal Highness the King of Qin thinks that this merit is very great and should be rewarded by the duke, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Sun Kewang's envoy stood proudly in the main hall, talking eloquently, except for the salute when he met, but the Yongli Son of Heaven was more like a minister, and the Qin King Sun Kewang represented by the envoy was more like a king.

It's just that the Yongli monarchs and ministers present did not show half of their surprise or dissatisfaction, even if they were thinking about it, they didn't dare to put it into their mouths, except for secretly sending Lin Qingyang and Zhou Guan out to ask for help, they had to endure for half a minute, in fact, they had seen a lot of such scenes, and they had already been accustomed to it.

On the dragon chair, the Son of Yongli listened silently to Sun Kewang's envoy repeating the matter of canonizing Chen Wen as a duke, as for what he thought, it was just the least politeness, the last layer of window paper between Sun Kewang and Yongli. Sun Kewang did not stab because Li Dingguo was still alive, and his prestige in the Ming army in the southwest plummeted due to the battle at the fork in the road, but this was only a matter of time; And on Yongli's side, his life is controlled by others, Sun Kewang is still a guy from a rogue background, there is nothing he can't do, and of course he doesn't dare to do anything.

At this point, what does Your Majesty think, can you still say that I don't agree, if I am replaced by a resolute son of heaven, maybe I will fight, but Yongli is not a strong character, no matter how much grievances in my heart, I will only return to the harem and cry with the Queen Mother and Queen Wang, and at this moment, I will naturally only reply with "I have no objection".

Sun Kewang's envoy reported the matter, saluted, and left the dilapidated Anlong Thousand Households, which only changed the signboard and became a dilapidated house in the palace, and set off to return to Guiyang to resume his life. Naturally, the emperor and ministers could not send a messenger, so naturally there was a celebrant and eunuch Zhang Fulu beside Yongli to send him.

Out of the "main hall", Zhang Fulu came to the messenger's side, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the messenger's hand. The messenger had come here many times, and he was not surprised by this, so he received the money and asked Zhang Fulu.

"Your envoy is well-informed, can you tell our family how this Marquis of An Yuan defeated the captive master?"

The envoy looked at Zhang Fulu, the last time he came to Jianguo for Lu Jianguo, this eunuch asked Chen Wen, but he asked about things like his background.

After a long while, after sending off the messenger, Zhang Fulu hurriedly rushed back to the main hall. During this time, Ma Jixiang had already been sent to Nanning, Guangxi, and Pang Tianshou was in the warrior camp, and the left side of the hall was close to the eyeliner of these two people, and it was more convenient to talk.

"With three battalions defeating the eight banners of the 8,000 Han army, this person is as brave as this, which is really rare."

"Can you tell me how big the camp is?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid don't know what the messenger said, but nine times out of ten it is a regular barracks."

There are 3,000 people in the main barracks, and if you eat empty salaries, it will be 2,500 at most, and even more may not even be able to reach 2,000. This is the establishment of the military in the late Ming Dynasty before they got out of trouble, and the army under the direct jurisdiction of a general military officer is only these, and there is only temporary command power in wartime for other deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas in military towns, so it is more suitable for Yiwen to control the military.

However, when it comes to Chen Wen, the three main barracks are 9,000 people, and 9,000 defeated 8,000, although it still sounds a bit overwhelming, but the Eight Banners of the Han Army are also the Eight Banners Army, in their knowledge and understanding, even if they are weaker than the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they are stronger than the Green Battalion soldiers, and they are not half a star, so it is rare for such a fierce general to be called that sentence.

It's a pity that the envoy doesn't know how big Chen Wen's one is, if he lets the Yongli monarch know that 6,000 defeated 8,000, and his own army loss is less than 700, he still doesn't know what to think.

Listening to Chen Wen's matter, it is not without reason, during this time, the Yongli monarch and ministers have always been committed to introducing Li Dingguo as an aid to restore the power of the Yongli court. But whether Li Dingguo can succeed is one thing, and if he succeeds, they don't dare to guarantee whether there will be a thing of driving wolves at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door, so if they can learn more about a powerful Ming army general, they still need to know more about it, in case of emergency.

Among today's Southwest Ming Army, the Kuidong generals are outnumbered and scattered, which is not enough to help; Liu Wenxiu's loss of power is also the same. Zheng Chenggong of the Southeast Ming Army was dominant in the Fujian Sea, and he also commanded the army of King Qin, but his nest was attacked by the Qing army in Fujian; And Zhejiang's Chen Wen, far water can't quench the thirst is the truth, the previous Cao Conglong Rebellion also made the civil officials of the Yongli Imperial Court have a very bad impression of this general, after all, it can make a mess of the civil officials, this military general is definitely not a good thing, but the current situation of the Yongli Imperial Court, all the dishes on the plate are vegetables, who knows if it will be used in the future, and it is a point to understand more.

"Shi Tingzhu, I remember that it seems to be a Han general who was used in the captive court when the slave chief Emperor Taiji was still alive, such a powerful person has not run away, it is really brave."

"What Your Majesty said is very true, although this Chen Wen is not as loyal as Qi Shaobao, but this martial courage is also rare. And this person's ancestor hereditary Tianjin right guard hundreds, is clearly the Taizu, Chengzu blessed my emperor to descend the fierce general, if you can be good at driving, I want to be able to contribute to His Majesty's Zhongxing Ming. ”

Whether it is loyal or not, Yongli has never seen it, but those things from a few months ago were really sent to Anlong. There are not many people who still have this kind of mind these years, even if it is not worth much silver, it is just a matter of face, and it is also a tribute worth remembering for the Yongli Heavenly Son, who only has 8,000 taels of silver a year.

As for Wu Zhenyu, what they said is not as loyal as Qi Shaobao, he has been the emperor for many years, and he can see some of the twists and turns in the minds of civil officials, isn't it nothing more than the civil official chaos, He Tengjiao has also done this kind of thing, better than that Cao Conglong, and in the end, he also posthumously crowned the king of Zhongxiang. Who let He Tengjiao die unyielding in the end, but the things he did in Huguang ruined the good situation several times, and who remembers this.

Weakness is weakness, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. Listening to the ministers expressing their opinions one after another, Yongli knew that these people were loyal to him, and his temperament was not the kind of person who would say something directly, so it was naturally difficult to say anything. However, these officials did not delay too much in these things that would not have any impact for the time being, and soon re-transferred them to Zhou Guan.

"Shousuke, is this already done?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhou Kongmu is the most meticulous and cautious, and he will not miss a big thing if he thinks about it."

"That's good, that's good."

If it's not good, although he has the sentence "The two dragons can't see each other" and he hasn't been able to see Sun Kewang himself, Yongli can still imagine what it would mean if this matter was known by that guy.

"I hope that this Li Dingguo is not like his brother-in-law, two famous kings, such a fierce general, I really hope that God sent down to help me Zhongxing Daming, supplemented by Fujian's water division, Zhejiang's fierce pawn, Zhongxing is not impossible. If this is not the case, then I am afraid that God really does not want the Ming Dynasty to be able to flourish. (To be continued.) )
