Chapter 505: Deliberation
In the evening, more than ten senior generals of Liaozhen were summoned by Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong's attitude towards the summoned generals was very modest, but he was not as polite as Wang Zaijin and others, which also made the generals of Liaozhen feel flattered.
Although Sun Chengzong had said before that he wanted to re-enforce the power of the generals, but talking about it and doing it are two different things, at least judging from the current situation, Sun Chengzong is still willing to marry the generals, which also makes many people with ghosts relieved.
When Zu Dashou came in, Sun Chengzong's eyebrows were already a little tired, but when he saw the tall and strong Zu Dashou bowing down in front of him, Sun Chengzong still cheered up and helped Zu Dashou with a smile.
"The last will be ashamed."
After Sun Chengzong gave the seat and gave tea, Zu Dashou took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "Previously, the general did not care about the construction of Ningyuan City, thinking that the imperial court would definitely abandon it, so as to delay the construction period, and ask the cabinet lord to forgive his sins." ”
Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "The imperial court has not made a big plan before, and the local area is not clear, how can you do things honestly?" What is the general's crime? ”
Zu Dashou said with a grateful face: "Lord Cabinet is magnanimous, and the general will be very grateful, and from then on, he can only do things with sincerity, and he will never dare to slack off." ”
Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "General Zu can have such an idea, and the students are deeply gratified. Originally, the ancestral family was Ningyuan's generational general, how could there be a reason to gently abandon the foundation? ”
Zu Dashou was a little stunned in his heart, no wonder this time Sun Gebu had no sense of blame for the generals, and even expressed his reliance on the number of etiquette and words, this is not a simple "heavy general", but a consideration of reality.
After several fiascos, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was very weak in the second year of the Apocalypse, and after a few years, after Sun Chengzong's hard work, Liaozhen, that is, the Guanning army recovered to the limit size of 140,000 people, but at this time, there were only less than 50,000 troops inside and outside the gate, if it was according to Wang Zaijin's plan, this force was actually almost enough, if it was according to Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's plan, the current troops were far from enough, and it was necessary to rely on these generals in Liaoxi.
Zu Dashou said solemnly: "Your Excellency, rest assured, my ancestral family has served the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and the flames are blazing, and they cannot recover the lost land, and Ning Yuanhe will never be lost again." ”
Zu Dashou patted his head lightly again, and said excitedly: "A while ago, there were righteous soldiers from the Thirteen Mountains who sneaked over the captives to Ningyuan to ask for help, and the last general told them to wait for news in Ningyuan......
Sun Chengzong said with great concern: "What is the specific situation of the Thirteen Mountains? The students heard that most of the people there were people, and only a few folk group exercises could fight a dozen. ”
Zu Dashou said: "Judging from the last general, it is difficult for these righteous men to fight head-on with the captives, but if the grain and grass are sufficient, the terrain of the Thirteen Mountains is dangerous, and it is difficult for the captives to conquer head-on, after all, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Sun Chengzong's face was thoughtful, Zu Dashou's statement was similar to his thoughts, that is, the Thirteen Mountains had a large population, but lacked soldiers and armor weapons, Yang Er and Bi Mazi were the so-called heroes, and most of the people they led were characters such as Lahu and Qingpi, these people were brave and ruthless, and the private fighting was very powerful, and they fought in battle, and it was estimated that even the battalion soldiers were not as good, so it can be seen that the Thirteen Mountains are not very useful.
However, if it can be persistent, it can be regarded as planting a nail in the area of Guangning, and Jianyu left soldiers and horses to surround the mountain, probably because he was afraid that the Thirteen Mountains would develop and grow, and eventually affect the exchanges between the Later Jin and the Mongolian tribes.
"It's a pity that there are too many people...... Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong still had some interest, but after thinking about it, more than 100,000 people are supplied according to the minimum amount, and more than 10,000 catties of grain are needed in a day, and more than 200 miles of transportation used to add 30% of the loss, and now the road is not passable, it is difficult to rescue people alone, not to mention the need to transport a large amount of grain over!
"The matter of the Thirteen Mountains," Sun Chengzong pondered and said to Zu Dashou: "General Zu can pay more attention, the imperial court will try to save people, if there are people over there again, you must ask about the situation on the mountain." As for General Zu, he still has to spend his main energy on building Ningyuan and other cities and military forts. ”
"Yes, please rest assured!" Zu Dashou agreed and stood up.
……
Sun Chengzong was originally going to Ningyuan again, but Mao Yuanyi, who was gray-faced, came in with an official letter and interrupted his plan.
"How can such a thing be?" Sun Chengzong was also shocked after reading it, and he was a little incredulous.
"The cabinet has voted to approve the red, and it is necessary to send senior officials to inspect Datong Xuanfu and other places to find out whether Wang Xinyi's performance is true on the spot." Mao Yuanyi felt a little like crying...... If Wang Xinyi's report is true, he will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship!
Zanhua, who has just taken office, has a bright future, but at this time, this kind of thing happened, Mao Yuanyi deeply felt that he was being made and teased, and life was impermanent.
Sun Yuanhua accompanied him as the secretary of the military department, and when he heard the news, he also rushed over, and Sun Chengzong handed him the paperwork.
"Zhang Wenlan actually has such a great ability?" Sun Yuanhua also had a sense of disbelief: "Assassinate the governor, train the private soldiers of the merchant group, set up a chamber of commerce, control the government and local government affairs, and use private soldiers to go north and fight with the captives...... Sun Yuanhua shook his head again and again, and said with a solemn face: "It's really unbelievable......"
Sun Chengzong stroked his forehead with his hand, and only after half a sound did he say to Sun Yuanhua: "In the opinion of the early sun, whether Zhang Han does this or not, does he have the ability to do this?" ”
Sun Yuanhua hesitated for a long time, and finally replied: "The students don't have much time on the Datong side, but judging from the students' observations, Zhang Han has this strength. Not to mention his financial resources, he is already a rich country, and the way to control is that the students have never seen it, and the branches of the chambers of commerce in various places are like an arm, and Datong Li Zhuang is even more well-organized, tens of thousands of people are training soldiers, or reclamation, or work, or business, or officials, it is really the same. Going north to attack the captives, others don't dare, I don't think he may be able to do it. But if he says he's going to rebel, I still don't believe it. ”
If Zhang Han was here, when he heard Sun Yuanhua's words, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, not knowing what to say.
This person's high IQ is also rare, in the area of Li Zhuang only a few dozen days, but he sees a lot of things through, saying that he is stupid, but he sees it and does not say it, and at this time, he pours beans into the bamboo tube and says it with an ancient brain.
Sun Chengzong's face was also a little dissatisfied, and Mao Yuanyi on the side was already dead...... Such a big rebellion case, it is likely to lead to a counterinsurgency war, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the east is still in trouble, if Zhang Han is really as powerful as everyone said, it is likely to be as protracted as the crusade against Ningxia back then, and it will be protracted, and the governor and governor will gather a large army to conquest, if this is the case, Mao Yuanyi is likely to be involved in it, not to mention being an official, I am afraid that his reputation may not be able to be saved.
Even according to a more serious assumption, if there is no protection from Sun Chengzong, it is unknown whether Mao Yuanyi's life can be saved.
You must know that when Jin Tie entered the Ministry of Industry, Mao Yuanyi had a lot of relationships with Zhang Han and Yusheng, and he and Yusheng drummed and cheered, everyone knew that Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Han, the Jin businessman, had a very close relationship......
"There's no need to be in a hurry." Sun Chengzong made a powerful gesture, and he said: "The student council will ask the imperial court for orders in this matter and go to inspect. ”
Mao Yuanyi was very surprised, but a little confused, of course his relationship with Sun Chengzong was very close, but it didn't seem to be enough for Sun Chengzong to do this.
"If Zhang Han is really like Wang Xinyi," Sun Chengzong said: "Students will not follow their own interests, you can rest assured that even if you are implicated, you will not be called anything." After all, Zhang Han was just an ordinary businessman at that time, and there was no reason to blame you for the ignorance of the businessman's engraving of the book. If Wang Xinyi exaggerated, Zhang Han did not do as many misdeeds as he said, and even had different aspirations, then the students would not condone Wang Wenyan and others to wronged others and make a futile mistake. ”
Sun Chengzong has some hidden worries on his face, he has just arrived in Liaodong, to sort out the Liao affairs, if there is an incident in the northwest, the imperial court will inevitably have to tilt a lot of manpower and material resources to the northwest, and the Liao affairs will inevitably have an unfavorable situation, in case the door is broken, then it is really everything is over.
Now many people in the DPRK still think that the eastern captives are a small trouble, but people of insight such as Sun Chengzong can see clearly, the Liaodong that the dynasty has been operating for more than 200 years has fallen into the hands of the enemy, millions of soldiers and civilians are owned by the enemy, and the field siege of the city and the state department are invincible, if they are called to conquer the Shanhaiguan again, there is no danger to defend outside the Beijing division, such a situation can easily cause the collapse of the entire overall situation, at least there will be a situation such as the Jiajing and Longqing years when the Beijing division was besieged many times, and it is obvious that the eastern captives are much more dangerous than the northern captives.
The northern captives are still tribal alliances, and although the eastern captives do not get rid of the habits of tribal barbarians, they at least have a complete and efficient state form, and such enemies are of course much more dangerous.
Sun Chengzong was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and even faintly angry, at such an important juncture, if Wang Wenyan and Wang Xinyi and others were resentful and retaliated, they simply didn't know the general situation!
"Stop living," Sun Chengzong said resolutely: "Prepare a draft for me, I want to invite myself to inspect Xuanda." ”
……
Almost at the same time that Sun Chengzong received the news, Zhang Han also played on Feizhang...... He was defending himself, of course.
Civil officials of the dynasty are often impeached, and it is customary to resign at home first, and then defend themselves, and if the self-defense passes, then they will be re-examined, and if the self-defense fails, they will either be dismissed from the official and imprisoned, or they will resign and return to their hometowns.
Zhang Han is a military minister, the commander of the three grades and the garrison of the Acropolis, he does not have to take refuge as a civil official, but Zhang Han has already requested in the chapter to go to the Beijing Division in person to accept the trial and interrogation of the Law Division, but he does not dare to leave the letter without permission, and he can only leave the Acropolis and go to the Beijing Division after the decision is made by the imperial court.
On the day that Sun Chengzong's recital arrived in Beijing, Zhang Han's recital was also sent to the cabinet through the General Administration Department, and then to Ouchi.
The most important thing in the past few days is nothing more than the Liao affair and the Datong matter, both sides of the Liao Town, one involving Xuanda, are the most important nine-sided towns in the country, the matter of Liao Town is related to the safety of the Beijing Division, and the matter of Xuanda is also very important.
