Chapter 389: Words are Less



As he spoke, Wang Yuncheng warmly beckoned Sun Yuan to sit down, smiled and pointed to the generals in the hall, and said, "Brother Sun, come on, come on, I'll introduce you to you."

。 All the gentlemen here are all generals in my Tianxiong army, some of them did all the way when we came to the capital last time, and they have known each other for a long time, and some of the Sun brothers have not seen each other. Everyone has admired you for a long time. ”

His words exaggerated: "Brothers, this is General Sun, who is most valued by our supervisors. General Sun's Ningxiang Army is the most capable of fighting in our Tianxiong Army, General Sun Yuan is young and promising, and it will not be good for us bad old men to beg for food under him! ”

This is already a naked provocation, and sure enough, when they heard Wang Yuncheng's words, the expressions of all the generals looked weird, that is, there was fear, but also anger, dissatisfaction and jealousy. Of course, there are also people who are flattering.

It is no secret that Sun Yuan will take over the Tianxiong Army in the future.

After Lu Xiangsheng was worried, everyone thought that this matter was over. But I didn't want to, this time the Qing army entered the Kou, and Lu Inspector was robbed of his favor by the emperor, and the official was reinstated. As a result, Sun Yuan's training of the Tianxiong Army and monopolizing military power will be put on the agenda again.

For a while, the atmosphere in the festival hall became strange.

Sun Yuan naturally knew what everyone was thinking, and he was annoyed in his heart: the enemy is currently in power, and you are still thinking about fighting for power and profit. But I don't want to, our Ming Dynasty is going to lose even the bottom pants in this war, and even Inspector Lu will be martyred according to the real historical records. You don't think about how to win this battle, but worry about personal gains and losses, this Wang Yuncheng is constantly sowing discord, it's really not a thing.

On the surface, Sun Yuan still pretended to be modest, put his posture very low, and saluted the generals together, and said many words that he had admired for a long time.

Everyone sat down in separate seats, and naturally they inevitably talked about this battle.

There was a leading general who couldn't help but ask Wang Yuncheng: "General Wang, it has been two days since the superintendent entered the capital this time, and the military situation is like fire. I don't know, what Your Majesty thinks. Isn't it just to give Shang Fang the sword, just send a lieutenant to come over and issue an edict, how can it be so troublesome. ”

"Yes." Someone else nodded.

Wang Yuncheng suddenly sneered: "General Zhao, what do you know, how can things be so simple." The superintendent entered Beijing this time, saying that he was going to receive the order, but in fact, he was fighting with the traitorous ministers in the court. Do you know that this court has a traitor......"

As he spoke, his voice lowered and became mysterious

A general asked: "Traitor, who is it, Wang Yuncheng, don't be unhappy when you speak." Inspector, who is this going to fight with? ”

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Yuncheng was very proud, glanced at Sun Yuan provocatively, and said, "Who else can it be, naturally it is Yang Sichang Yang Ge Lao!" ”

"Ah, Yang Sichang, how did he become a traitor again?"

Wang Yuncheng said leisurely: "Actually, in this war, there is no definite number of whether the court will fight or peace?" Our Tianxiong Army is the strongest army in the world, and the old man is naturally the main battle, but Yang Ge Lao is bent on seeking peace and wants to negotiate peace with Houjin Jiannu. ”

"What, Yang Sichang actually wants to make peace with Jiannu, what is he trying to do?" Everyone was in an uproar, and someone shouted: "Good thief, does he want to turn our Ming into a weak Song?" Our Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, when did we talk about peace with the barbarians? ”

Hearing Wang Yuncheng's words, Sun Yuan was also shocked in his heart, and suddenly remembered this past event in real history.

In fact, today's Ming Dynasty has Jiannu Lianlian Kou outside, and there are peasant armies inside for many years of civil strife. Coupled with years of natural disasters, the northern provinces have been completely eroded. Moreover, after the abolition of the commercial tax, the state finances of the Ming Dynasty were already on the verge of collapse and had become weak.

To put it mildly, for a major event related to the situation in the southeast such as the Chuzhou War, the imperial court could not come up with a penny of military salaries. In the end, it was Emperor Chongzhen who paid out of his own pocket and scraped together 70,000 taels of silver. As for the other gaps, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was responsible for raising them, and he barely won this one.

Now, the Qing soldiers have entered the army, and they can't afford to spend the military expenses of the military camp if they want to come to the imperial court.

Moreover, according to real historical records. In this battle, the Ming army even had a problem eating, and it was not surprising that it failed in the end.

Thinking about it, Yang Sichang also put forward the proposal for peace talks based on this consideration. In his opinion, the Ming army's troops in the north, the Guanning army, the Xuanda army, and the Jingying army, together with the mobile forces that can be dispatched, are more than 70,000 people. This is already the only little family foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the north.

Now the Qing Dynasty is in the middle of the Japanese side, and it is in the stage of rising national strength. These 70,000 horses were drawn to the battlefield, not only did they not play any role, but they were also eaten and wiped out by others.

If the northern border army of the Ming Dynasty was wiped out by the Qing troops, what would it rely on to garrison the long border line from Shanhaiguan to Datong in the future? Moreover, if there is no such army capable of fighting, once the peasant army in the country rises up again, who will rely on to suppress it?

The Manchus were indeed the most vicious enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but for now, it was not a good opportunity to fight them

。 Even if you have to fight, there is no possibility of winning.

In the final analysis, a national war is a contest between national strengths, and it cannot be decided by one or two battles. And now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty ...... How can there be national strength to speak of?

Therefore, Yang Sichang's idea is that if you go outside, you must first settle inside. First cut off the domestic peasant army, recuperate for decades, and then reorganize the armament and build slaves to compete in Liaodong.

In fact, this idea is not unique to Yang Sichang.

Since the beginning of the Apocalypse, there have been proposals for peace between the DPRK and China.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty's national will cannot tolerate the word compromise. For foreign criminals, it is politically correct to fight to the end. Whoever dares to talk about peace talks will naturally be branded as a "traitor" and a "traitor."

The reason why Yang Sichang dared to suggest peace with the Manchus in front of the emperor was probably because he saw that the country was on the verge of collapse in the past ten years of peasant military disasters. Compared with foreign enemies, the peasant army is the real henchman. If they are not completely eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will also talk about accumulating a lot of strength, let alone expanding its territory and recovering the lost territory in Liaodong.

As a history enthusiast, in fact, Sun Yuan has also discussed this matter with netizens in modern society. Although everyone hates Jiannu, they still have to admit that if history can be repeated, if the Ming Dynasty wants to survive the catastrophe at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it really can't fight on two fronts.

Personal feelings aside, if you change yourself to be the emperor, you can probably only negotiate peace with the Manchus first, send a large amount of property, and maintain peace on the border for a period of time. Then, put all the forces on the domestic battlefield. Even if you endure the humiliation temporarily, it doesn't matter.

Form is stronger than people, and as a politician, objectivity and calmness are the most important qualities.

From this point of view, Yang Sichang is secretly in line with modern people's thinking, and he is also a first-class politician in the late Ming Dynasty. Even if Sun Yuan was quite tired of this person's character, he couldn't help but admit it.

The generals were excited, and they couldn't help but scold Yang Sichang for betraying the country.

Sun Yuan fell into deep thought again, if nothing else, Yang Sichang's peace talks would inevitably make Emperor Chongzhen very moved. First of all, Emperor Chongzhen was not a fool. Not only that, but this person is also quite shrewd, otherwise, when he ascended the throne, he would not have quietly and completely cut off the party of the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian

。 Under him, the Wei Party, which leaned towards the government and the opposition like a behemoth, was like a castle on the beach, and it was wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing.

His problem was his lack of practical administrative experience, and after becoming emperor, he was fooled into a fool by civil officials, which made the country ruined. In the past few years, as I get older, I have seen more, and I have gradually cheered up again. It's just that today's Ming Dynasty is hard to return.

It is precisely because Emperor Chongzhen is a shrewd person that he also knows that it is not a good political decision to carry it with Houjin now. Moreover, he also admires Yang Sichang very much. Lao Yang's weight in the emperor's mind was even heavier than Lu Xiangsheng.

In the emperor's eyes, Lu Xiangsheng was just a commander who could fight, and in terms of his talents, he was also at the level of ministers of ministries. And Yang Sichang is a minister who can cure the humerus of the world. As for Gao Qiqian, he is just an obedient house slave.

When Chongzhen met with Yang Sichang, after a conversation, he immediately exclaimed that he "hated to use Qing Late", and immediately ordered him to be like a cabinet and fully preside over the military affairs of the encirclement and suppression of the peasant army.

After the Chuzhou War, Yang Sichang's strategy of "four positives, six corners and ten sides of the net" had obvious results. The desperate peasant army surrendered one after another and accepted Zhao'an, and even the giant Zhang Xianzhong put on official clothes and became an official of the imperial court. Seeing that the peasant army was about to be completely extinguished, the emperor also trusted Yang Sichang very much, but all the proposals put forward by Yang Ge Lao were approved as usual.

To this day, Yang Sichang is not only in charge of the cabinet, but also controls the country's soldiers and horses, and is the most powerful person in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with him, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are still inferior.

In fact, in Sun Yuan's opinion, Lao Yang's military method of encircling and suppressing peasants is also very good, although sometimes he is also very disapproving.

By now, most of the peasant army had been extinguished. If this policy had been maintained for a few years, the peasant army would have been completely defeated. Then, the country is recuperating, and when the Xiaoice period passes, perhaps history will look different.

It can be said that it was this invasion of the Qing soldiers that saved the peasant army. The imperial court was busy fighting against the Manchus, and then the peasant armies in the south were given a respite.

In addition, the field troops of the Ming Dynasty suffered too many losses on the battlefield in the capital, and they were no longer able to move south to suppress the peasant army. After two years, the peasant army revived, and its strength was great, and finally the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

If history can be repeated, if he is Emperor Chongzhen, he will definitely not hesitate to negotiate peace with Jiannu.

An officer asked, "General Wang Yuncheng, what does Your Majesty say?" ”

Wang Yuncheng: "The superintendent is still in the capital now, how do I know this."

。 Come to think of it, with the nature of the superintendent, he naturally can't see this kind of traitorous minister who brings disaster to the country and the people. When did we talk about peace with the enemy in the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Yes, you have to do it with Jiannu!" The crowd cried out at the same time.

Wang Yuncheng asked Sun Yuan again: "General Sun, I snubbed you just now, I'm sorry, what do you think about this?" ”

Sun Yuan was in deep thought, and when he heard the question, he didn't think too much, and said casually: "Internal and external troubles, if you want to eliminate them, solve internal worries first, and fight on both sides, it's not a good thing." ”

"Bastard thing, do you want to surrender?"

"Hehe, Sun Yuan, the vain superintendent values you so much, but I don't want you to think about discussing with Jin Ren, soft eggs!"

Suddenly, the crowd was surging, and countless disdainful eyes were projected towards Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan woke up at this time: This Wang Yuncheng is putting me along, who has provoked me. Others will lose if they say too much, and I will also lose if I say less!

When Sun Yuan came to Beijing with Wang Yuncheng, he walked on the road for two months and often drank together. At the beginning, Sun Yuan still had the heart to make friends with Wang Yuncheng, and he also talked about his views on the political situation in front of him.

Come to think of it, Wang Yuncheng had already taken his words to heart at that time.

Unexpectedly, today I became the main peace faction and made a big political mistake.

Sun Yuan was annoyed in his heart, and said with a blushing face: "It's war or peace, we don't count what we say, just see you on the battlefield." ”

An old general slapped the case and scolded angrily: "Rebellious man, Sun Yuan, are you looking down on our Tianxiong Army? Don't think that you have won a few battles, so you dare to dictate in front of our veterans, this day the Xiongjun is the superintendent, and it is also the old brother in our army, and it is not your turn. ”

A smug smile appeared on Wang Yuncheng's face, this time Lu Xiangsheng was just reinstated, and the first time he was to transfer the Ningxiang army to participate in the battle, which shows the supervisor's trust in Sun Yuan. It's not good, after this battle, this kid has made meritorious contributions, and the Tianxiong Army will be handed over to him.

No, Sun Yuan and I are already in the thick of the situation, if he becomes the commander of the Tianxiong Army in the future, will my Wang Yuncheng still have a way to live?

No, this birdman must not be given the opportunity to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions

On that day, Sun Yuan and the generals of the Tianxiong Army naturally broke up unhappily.

After going down, the news that Sun Yuan surrendered and did not dare to compete with Jiannu on the battlefield spread. When almost everyone saw the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army, they all looked disdainful, and some even spat on them fiercely.

The soldiers of the Ningxiang Army have a strong sense of self-esteem, how can they be willing to accept this kind of anger, and when they encounter this situation, everyone naturally has nothing to be polite about, and they clenched their fists.

Changping Prefecture has concentrated so many troops at once, all of them are men with blood and steel, and no one will obey anyone.

In the past two days, the sergeants and soldiers fought with each other, and something went into trouble.

Sun Yuan didn't mention the annoyance in his heart, so he had to close the barracks and forbid the soldiers to go out.

The Ningxiang Army has allocated half of the grain and grass to help the victims, and now there is a shortage of grain and grass. But when I asked Xuanfu Town to ask for it, people didn't buy it at all, and only said that they didn't. As for the Tianxiong Army, they ignored him at all.

At this moment, the contradiction between the Ningxiang Army and the Tianxiong Army is considered to be open, and it is not very possible for Sun Yuan to reorganize the Tianxiong Army in the future.

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly and touched the short beard on his upper lip, and smiled bitterly: Compared with the ancients, modern people are stronger than their predecessors in terms of insight and foresight of history, but when it comes to playing with their hearts and playing tricks, I still can't compare to them!

After staying in Changping for two days, the Xuan and Da armies that entered Beijing to participate in the war finally arrived, and Changping Prefecture suddenly concentrated more than 10,000 horses. At the same time, Guan Ningjun also arrived. This force from Shanhaiguan was outnumbered, a staggering 30,000, and it was well equipped.

There were more than 40,000 troops and nearly 50,000 troops, at least in terms of numbers, which was the same as one of the soldiers and horses of the Jiannu two routes. On the surface, it should be possible to face the panel with the enemy. However, among these 40,000 people, the ghost only knows how many real main soldiers there are and how many auxiliary soldiers. As for the combat effectiveness, how it compares to Jiannu, to be honest, Sun Yuan is not optimistic.

Lu Xiangsheng also returned to the Chinese army from the capital, and at the same time came the generals of the prison army Gao Qiqian and the Guan Ning army.

The battle against Houjin is about to start.
