Chapter 1231: Fear

As soon as the situation in Taiwan is stable, Hutchison has a real way out, and Zhang Han is really relieved.

This kind of peace of mind is actually difficult for others to experience...... Zhang Han tossed and turned, the merchant army was invincible, he was still trembling and cautious, in the eyes of others, this was his cautious nature, only Zhang Han himself knew that he was really worried and afraid!

"Next year will be a turning point." Zhang Han said: "In the second half of this year, Sun Gebu will definitely go to work, and Wang Faxiang and others have dragged on for him for half a year, but the eunuch party has become more and more in control of the power above the court, how can it be possible to tolerate a scholar of the Donglin Party to continue to pass through Liaodong?" Close to their elbows and armpits, they are afraid of accidents. ”

Li Shenming said: "How is this possible? The soldiers were soldiers of the Ming court, and the Sun Pavilion was a civil official. ”

Zhang Han smiled: "You have probably seen the secret of the Military Intelligence Department and forgotten it, right?" When the battle was at its peak last year, Sun Dabeard invited himself into Beijing, but Wei Zhongxian was scared half to death, sent many people to guard the city gate with the sword of the Son of Heaven, and ordered Sun Chengzong not to enter the gate for a single step, what was he afraid of? The Guanning army is from scratch, from the generals to the battalion soldiers are all brought out by Sun Chengzong, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I dare not say that everyone listens to Sun Chengzong, but as long as there are bold and daring generals among the main generals, they can pull out tens of thousands of people casually, what is there on the side of the imperial court, the Beijing battalion soldiers go to Guanning Iron Cavalry? Even the four guard battalions of the Imperial Horse Prison still have some combat strength, but they can never be the opponent of Liaozhen. If you really want to force Lao Sun back, Wei Zhongxian's hundred heads are not enough to cut off. ”

Li Shenming shook his head with a smile and said, "It is absolutely impossible for Sun Chengzong to rebel. ”

"But he has the ability to rebel." Zhang Han said with a smile: "Wei Zhongxian is afraid that there is nothing, what about the Son of Heaven?" What will the Son of Heaven think? Although Sun Gebu is his most respected teacher, he is also a pure Confucian, a virtuous minister, but a person has been in Liaoxi for a few years, and then a few years, is Liaoxi from the imperial court or the Sun family? The generals from top to bottom are all used by Sun Chengzong, will the edict of the Son of Heaven work at that time, or will the order of Sun Ge be effective? ”

"It's too heart-wrenching." Although Li Shenming shook his head, after all, he was also born in a school lineage, and he was unwilling to agree with Zhang Han's so-called Sun Chengzong's ability to rebel, but no matter what, Li Shenming still said: "It seems that it is inevitable that Sun Gebu will go to work. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhang Han was very proud, and responded with a smile.

This conclusion is not the result of the research of later historians, but Zhang Han's own analysis.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is very much about the emperor's mental skills, but he went too far in the matter of driving Donglin, and although he wanted to make up for it, he couldn't start it for a while.

Sun Chengzong's matter can be regarded as a continuation of the party struggle, but there is a deeper reason for his resignation, mainly because he has guarded Liaoxi for too long with the respect of the scholars of the Eastern Pavilion University, and it has been so long that the emperor can't rest assured about his teachers.

In fact, this can't be regarded as a vain worry, in the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji led troops to besiege the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen brazenly arrested Yuan Chonghuan at the most critical moment, provoking Zu Dashou and other Liaozhen generals to flee in panic. At this juncture, Huang Taiji appeased the generals of Liaozhen may not be thrown to the Jurchen side, then it is really all over, the most tense moment is that Sun Chengzong is responsible for taking over this mess, and the old Sun Tou only used a letter to appease Zu Dashou, although since then Liaozhen warlordization is inevitable, Zu Dashou has never been to Jingshi, not even Shanhaiguan, only stayed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan Youtun and other places, and its cause and effect was planted early.

"Alas, what do the emperor and Wei Eunuch think?" Li Shenming was very dissatisfied and complained: "With the Sun Pavilion Department in charge, the Jianyu does not know the truth and does not dare to attack Liaoxi at will, and once the Sun Pavilion Department is gone, it will cause the hearts of the people in Liaoxi to fluctuate in the short term, and the chief military officer has just been replaced, isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall?" ”

"The general army has also changed for a few months." Zhang Han said: "Before aiding the Battle of the Thirteen Mountains, Jianyu suffered some small losses, and in the past two or three years, they have been at peace with each other, which has given many people in the DPRK and China the illusion, as if there is no way to defend Jianyu according to the city, so it is the same for everyone." ”

"Who might it be?" Li Shenming frowned and said: "The ministers of the court and the central government, there are only a handful of senior officials who are familiar with military affairs. Originally, if it wasn't a party dispute, at least Yuan Keli was available, but now I really don't know who to send over. ”

"Mostly Gaudí." Zhang Han has his own sources of intelligence system, and there are also special personnel who analyze according to the qualifications and trends of the senior officials in the DPRK, Gao Di should be the first person to replace Sun Chengzong in the imperial court.

"This guy is a good fit." Li Shenming thought about it and remembered Gao Di's resume: "Wanli seventeen years of Jinshi, seniority is quite old, successively served as the main hall of the prefecture and county, rich experience in local government affairs, and once served as a banknote to pass the household Cao, from the county to the household Cao, to the inspection, the political envoy has done, more than 30 years of conscientious work all the way up, the first year of the Apocalypse as the governor of Xuanfu, began to understand military affairs, in Xuanfu, he contributed 7,000 taels of labor, at that time the Xuanfu soldiers had not been paid for several months, Gao Governor This move is very popular with the generals, and the DPRK and China also praised it. In the second year of the Apocalypse, he was the right attendant of the military department, began to be a court official, and then took office as the left attendant, and last year he was appointed to the office...... It seems that the imperial court is going to reinstate this person. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Han said: "That's right, except for him, none of the ministers with qualifications and experience in the army and the military department are gone. Originally, Yuan Keli was indeed the best candidate, but Yuan Gong was already regarded as an enemy by the eunuch party, and there was no such possibility, and there were several suitable candidates, either with their hearts set to Donglin, or they were unwilling to get involved in the party struggle. Gao Di has been a pro-people official and a senior member of the ministry for decades, and he must take the overall situation into account when doing things, because although he is not a member of the eunuch party, as long as the imperial court needs to use him, he will not be deterred by party disputes. ”

Gao Di is indeed such a person, maybe he is really incapacitated, but later the Donglin Party framed Gao Di as a eunuch, which is too nonsense, and Gao Di has nothing to do with the eunuch party from beginning to end.

"At this point, Wei Zhongxian is still interested." Li Shenming snorted coldly and said: "The eunuch party bothered to overthrow the Sun Pavilion Department, if another candidate with insufficient qualifications and too strong eunuch color is elected, even if Wei Zhongxian is completely asked to take the blame for the Liao affairs, the emperor will also be suspicious of Wei Eunuch, this is very good, push an old minister with enough qualifications and no party color to come out, the emperor will not object, but will feel that Wei Gelding takes care of the overall situation." ”

"That's right, it's very true, it seems that Brother Zunlu also has the potential to be a power eunuch."

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Li Shenming glanced at Zhang Han angrily and said, "Sun Xiaozheng is also coming back soon, what are you going to do for the rest of this year?" ”

Zhang Han just returned to Qingcheng and was entangled in all kinds of things, so he understood the importance of a political official like Sun Jingting, how many trivial and complicated things don't need to worry about himself, he immediately greeted Li Shenming a few words, and then continued: "Look at the Tang report that he has already arrived in Datong, at most go to see Lingqiu and other places, and he will come back in ten days." Seeing that autumn is coming, the winter of the grassland is coming, and I think I will also take a look. ”

"Haven't you been dealing with business lately, and you're thinking about going out for a walk?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Han laughed.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Han suddenly said: "I have a hunch that from next year, I am afraid that the idle days will be over, and after the beginning of next year, it is estimated that it will be one life and death battle after another." ”

Li Shenming smiled and said, "It may not be as serious as you think?" ”

"Well, I'm thinking about it seriously." Zhang Han said: "We have been going smoothly all along. Even if I was surrounded in Jining Fort by Bu Lost Rabbit Khan with more than 100,000 people from the Tumut Department two years ago, I didn't have too much to worry about. What is the reason, I have strong confidence in defeating the Northern Captives. Those bunch of garbage, beating them all looked up to them. But Dongyu is different, just like the northern wrestling, before we won a thin man, not a skill, after the Dongyu played, we are like wrestling with a strong and cunning wrestler, we need to come up with the ability to hang up. ”

"I've always had faith in you." Li Shenming snorted indifferently, and that relaxed demeanor made Zhang Hanqi's teeth itch.

In fact, it's not just Li Shenming, the bottom to the top of the military department have almost the same reaction.

When the sky falls, there is also a tall man like Zhang Han to top, and everyone has relied on Zhang Han for more than a day or two, from an ordinary business to the current pattern, who dares to pat his chest and say that he has such a ability?

Since everything depends on the pattern of Lord Zhang, of course, it is better to continue, anyway, Zhang Han is in charge of everything, and everyone should do things together.

"Wen Lan is not in a hurry, I see that you are a little unkind to Dongyu. No matter what, its troops are only less than 30,000 soldiers, plus all Dingkou, the Mongols and Han troops attached to it, there are no more than 100,000 people, and our Hutchison may not be worse than them. The battle can be fought slowly, and it doesn't matter if you lose two games. ”

Zhang Han thought to himself that this seemed to be the case, was he really too jealous of the Jurchens?

But he is indeed full of jealousy of Huang Taiji, from the point of view of the strength of the book is not only not bad, but even the strength is above the Jurchens, in recent years, through the actual combat of different sizes and scales, he has also trained the front-line team, and at the same time, he also roughly knows what the combat effectiveness of Jianyu is.

That is, it is stronger than the Northern Captives and the Ming Army, and it is also stronger than the ordinary troops of Hutchison, but compared with the elite Shang Tuan Army, especially the Lancers, Jumping Warriors, Mountain Heavy Infantry, and Chasers, the ordinary Donglu does not have the upper hand at all, and the combat power of its white armor may still be stronger.

On the ancient battlefield, there was no technical generation difference, and sometimes a few thousand elites played a decisive role.
