Chapter 147: Fierce debate in the court
This secret document must be reported to the cabinet and the emperor as much as possible, but this is Luo Yangxing's duty, and Luo Yangxing is the commander of Jinyiwei, if Yang Tingjian intervenes in this matter, it is overstepping his authority, so Yang Tingjian can only let it go.
Yang Tingjian's current position is very embarrassing, he is just a small town, and he already has 5,000 Mongolian elite cavalry in his hands, 15,000 people after the expansion of the new army of Jinyiwei, and 10,000 soldiers and baggage soldiers.
This Emperor Chongzhen also, only gave Yang Tingjian the military seal of the Tiger Ben Army, but did not give Yang Tingjian the seal of the general, nor did he give Yang Tingjian a promotion, but Yang Tingjian was still a four-grade military attache of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division.
Yang Tingjian already has the strength of a military town, but he does not have the corresponding official position, does the commander of Jinyiwei make Luo Yang's performance rest assured Yang Tingjian? That's absolutely impossible, so Yang Tingjian is not good at interfering in anything other than Jinyi Weinan Zhenfusi, and making enemies out of thin air is not the work of a wise man.
In this case, Yang Tingjian can only let go of this matter, and Yang Tingjian did not stay in Beijing after reviewing his homework, but went to Tongzhou University.
It is necessary to train hard with all soldiers, and the selection and training of officers is the top priority, and we must not fake others, which is related to Yang Tingjian's thorough control of the Tiger Ben Army, and we must not be negligent.
For the selected officers, Yang Tingjian set up the "Tiger Ben Army Officer Academy", and Yang Tingjian personally served as the sacrificial wine, (the sacrificial wine is the principal, which is similar to the nature of the Whampoa Military Academy.) )
Officers entering military schools. It was Yang Tingjian who personally trained him, and the theory of rabbit brainwashing in later generations was slightly modified by Yang Tingjian. It was used to teach these selected officers. This is an era in which soldiers are generals, and if Yang Tingjian wants to do great things, he must firmly control an invincible army, otherwise everything is.
……
It is said that the turmoil of the Ming court, the life of Zhou Yanru, the first shop, is becoming more and more difficult, and now that the court is rich, Zhou Yanru should seize this golden opportunity. Rectify the soldiers and horses, give relief to the victims, and exterminate the thieves.
But Zhou Yanru doesn't have such ability and mood. This is all because of Wen Tiren, who is a traitor and blindly pleases the emperor. He flattered Zhou Yanru on the surface, and secretly plotted to seize the position of his first assistant. At the instigation of Wen Tiren. pressed Zhou Yanru step by step. secretly instructed the official to constantly impeach Zhou Yanru.
Zhou Yanru's children were arrogant in their hometown and were impeached by the officials; The courtiers were at fault, and the first assistant was also impeached; Zhou Yanru reconciled with many officials, but was impeached by suspicion; Zhou Yanru argued many times, and although Emperor Chongzhen was comforted, he couldn't help but have many questions in his heart.
Zhou Yanru must save himself! What to do! At this time, Sun Chengzong, the Liao Governor of Liaodong Jiliao, wrote a letter requesting the rebuilding of Dalinghe City, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Zhou Yanru to transfer the target, so Zhou Yanru immediately put this batch blue. Personally presented it to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen also wanted to make a difference because he had money in his hands at this time. He still hasn't realized that thieves are a mortal threat to the Ming Dynasty, and all the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty also think so, in their opinion, thieves are just a disease of scabies, and once the natural disaster passes, the thieves will naturally disappear into invisibility.
This dream is really wishful thinking, the natural and man-made disasters of the Ming Dynasty have lasted for more than ten years, even after the natural and man-made disasters, those thieves have become big, and they already have the strength to win the world.
On February 20 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen held a great court meeting, and all the officials above the five grades of the Beijing division participated, of course, these people could only stay in the square outside the Taihe Palace, and today's topic was about building the Great Linghe City.
Sun Chengzong was a rare capable person in the late Ming Dynasty, and his prestige in the court was also extremely high, and no one dared to ignore the strategy he proposed.
After the Great Dynasty Meeting began, Chongzhen went straight to the topic:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the concert of Sun Aiqing, the governor of Jiliao, Sun Aiqing asked the imperial court to allocate one million taels of silver to rebuild Dalinghe City, what do you think?"
Of course, Zhou Yanru is fully supporting Sun Chengzong's strategy, he just wants to divert and concentrate the firepower on his body, and then Zhou Yanru will go out of the class and play:
"Majesty, the Great Ling River was called Yushui, Longchuan, and White Wolf Water in ancient times, and it was renamed Ling River (Ling River) and Da Ling River after the Liao Dynasty. It is the transportation hub that communicates the Northeast and the Central Plains, the Northern Expedition of the Qi State, the Cao Wei conquest of Wuhuan, the former Yan into the Central Plains, the Northern Qi attack on the Khitan, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties pacify Goryeo, all of which take the Daling River Valley as the main route of the march.
Dalinghe City is located more than 30 miles east of Jinzhou and is an important line of defense to shield Jinzhou. If our army wants to consolidate Liao, it must build this city; Then if Jin wants to attack Ming, he must also demolish this city.
In order to consolidate Liao, Inspector Sun proposed the strategy of building Dalinghe City, which was undoubtedly correct, and the household department could also get this silver, so Weichen seconded Inspector Sun's strategy. ”
Some officials who were good friends with Zhou Yanru immediately went out of class to play:
"Ministers seconded the ......"
How could Wen Tiren let Zhou Yanru easily shift the target like this! In other words, if Zhou Yanru agrees, Wen Tiren must oppose it, regardless of whether this strategy is correct or not, anyway, it is against it for the sake of opposition.
As long as you are not in the same party, then you can't get this done, and it is necessary to withdraw from Taiwan, and at this time, the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, their selfish desires have gone beyond the interests of the country and the nation.
Wen Tiren hurriedly came out of the class and said:
Weichen didn't dare to agree, Yuan Chonghuan had built the Daling River twice, but Huang Taiji didn't let him finish it.
Since the time of Yuan Chonghuan, the competition between the two sides for the two cities of the Great and Small Linghe has been very fierce, and it has been two constructions and two demolitions, which is a pure waste of national silver.
Now the disaster situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is getting worse day by day, countless victims need relief, thieves are rampant, and a lot of money is needed to exterminate the thieves.
Therefore, Weichen opposed the construction of Dalinghe City. ”
Those officials of Wen Tiren's party also immediately went out to play and echoed Wen Tiren's opposition to the construction of Dalinghe City.
The officials on both sides suddenly stared at each other, like chickens about to fight.
Chongzhen also had no idea, whether this was to be repaired or not, Chongzhen couldn't be sure, so he could only look at the first shop and the second shop below arguing.
Zhou Yanru began to fight back:
"This solid Liao, it is inevitable to build Dalinghe City, which is the gateway to Jinzhou."
Of course, Wen Tiren was not false to Zhou Yanru, and immediately counterattacked:
"You build Dalinghe City, can Huang Taiji stand by and watch? There is no possibility, Huang Taiji will definitely send troops to attack Dalinghe City, when the city is not built, it will attract a large number of Jiannu, how can the first shop break the enemy. ”
"There is Inspector Sun in Liaodong, and the Emperor Rongtai and the clown who jumped off the beam are wild, and this Da Linghe City must be repaired."
"It can't be repaired, the thieves are not peaceful, it is important to stabilize the frontier, and try to stimulate the Tartars as little as possible." ……
In fact, what Wen Tiren said also makes sense, Wen Tiren's reason is that the thieves have not pacified the money, try not to stimulate the construction of slaves, and do not take the initiative to provoke war. (To be continued......)
