Chapter 943: Will You Be Emperor?
Today's third update is delivered! , In the list of slave chieftains announced by the Ming court, Yue Tuo's name is even ranked in front of Dolgon and Duofeng. It's a pity that Yue Tuo used his troops steadily and never gave the Ming army a chance, so the Ming army couldn't cause any effective damage to Yue Tuo, let alone eliminate him. Now, this sinful fellow has finally been killed.
After careful calculation, there were already several Tatar slave chieftains buried in Zhang Zhun's hands, such as Dolgon, Duofeng, Abatai, Azig, Yuetuo and Haoge. As for Han Jian's Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others, it goes without saying. Basically, half of the high-level leaders of Dajin Guo have been lost in Zhang Zhun's hands.
In Shenyang, who else are there at the top of the Dajin Kingdom? Gu Yanwu carefully analyzed it, and now there are only a few people such as Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Ji'er Harang, Amin, and Fan Cheng. As for the rest, they can't be put on the table. Once the Tiger Ben army conquers Shenyang, the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom will be wiped out.
In the past, the army of the imperial court was defeated by these Tartars, and lost its division and land. Now, the Tiger Ben Army has made a move, but the high-level Tartars have been killed one after another. The contrast between the two is too great. Even the most foolish and loyal people, seeing such a result, have to reflect on the mistakes of the imperial court.
Isn't there any talent in the imperial court? Of course not. There are many talents in the world, and it is impossible that no one can't beat the Tartars, but this person has not been revealed. Didn't the imperial court have enough money and food? Of course not. The money and grain of the imperial court to support the battle in Liaodong were still sufficient. Is it because the weapons and equipment of the imperial army are not advanced enough? Of course not. The weapons and equipment of the Tartars "then called backwardness" armor or something, almost all of them came from capture.
In that case, why couldn't the imperial court defeat the Tartars? Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi were very entangled in this issue. It was only now that they vaguely felt that there seemed to be some "answers" to this question. It is not a problem of people, not a problem of money and food, not a problem of equipment, but a problem of the court itself.
Is it possible for the imperial court to change? I'm afraid not. The Restoration Society has struggled for so many years, "trying to change the face of the imperial court, but without success." It is absolutely impossible to expect that in the next few years, the imperial court will wake up and change its course.
It seems that in the future world, it will still be the Tiger Army! The gentry in Jiangnan are strong, "I'm afraid they have to think seriously about their future." Hou Fangyu and the others probably have to carefully consider their family's way out.
"My lord, in front of you is the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division."
Suddenly, someone reported aloud to Zhang Zhun.
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a magnificent building in front of them. Red walls and green tiles, green trees and red UA. The open space in front of the building is very wide, and in front of the ground is a large blue brick. In the open space, there is also a raised platform, apparently used to inspect the troops. That's right, "This is the former Liaodong Metropolitan Yamen."
Here, although it has been ravaged by the Tartars, although there are still traces of mutilation, "although the corpses on the ground have not been cleaned up, but "its grandeur, its solemnity, its solemnity, can still be clearly felt." Because, this is the highest power in Liaodong, where the Yamen of Liaodong is located!
In Liaodong at that time, the area of Liaoyang City was much larger than that of Shenyang. Shenyang was built as the northern barrier of Liaoyang, and in terms of use, Shenyang is a satellite city. Liaodong's politics, economy, military, and transformation are all Liaoyang.
At the beginning, Nurhachi was also preparing to move the capital to Liaoyang. It's a pity that Liaoyang has experienced a brutal war and is ruined everywhere. Moreover, the Han people who remained in Liaoyang City also fought hard to resist the rule of the Tartars. They used various means to assassinate sporadic Tartar soldiers. In the end, Nurhachi chose Liaoyang.
Outside the yamen of the Liaodong Dusi, there are already soldiers from the Qinglong Legion stationed, and the Tartars inside have all been cleared. Hu Yifang, the deputy commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, was waiting for Zhang Zhun to arrive at the door. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhun, a group of members of the visiting group, with a feeling of almost awe, slowly entered the yamen.
Twenty years ago, the Yamen of Liaodong was a very mysterious place.
It is impossible to enter here without overwhelming power. To enter here, the officer must be at least the fifth rank or above, and the military attache must be at least the third rank or above. As the master here, he must be an official above the second grade. Twenty years later, those who enter here can still feel the majesty of the Dusi Yamen.
When they stepped in from the high threshold, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and the others couldn't help but feel their blood surge. They may never have thought that in their lifetimes, they would have the opportunity to step into the Yamen of the Liaodong Capital.
When they first began to read and write, Liaoyang had already fallen. The blow to the Ming people when Liaoyang fell, they were very clear. Their husband even wrote a poem to show his lament. Every time the resumption of society deliberates, when it comes to the fall of Liaoyang, it is full of indignation.
After entering the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, the winding corridor, the spacious wings, the red walls and green tiles, the green trees and red UA, it is like a miniature version of the imperial palace. In fact, the Yamen of the Eastern Liaodong Prefecture is indeed much more powerful and majestic than the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division of other provinces.
At that time, in order to show the majesty of the Celestial Empire, the building specifications of the Yamen of the Liaodong Capital were made by Zhu Yuanzhang with permission. From the eighth year of Hongwu (575 AD) to the present, it has been 260 years, and the main buildings of the Dusi Yamen are still intact. Only the location of the Scripture Pavilion was burned, and at a glance, there were only weeds that were tall as human heads.
At that time, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was a place to store the secret information of the Liaodong Prefecture. When the Tartars entered Liaoyang, the officials who took care of the Scripture Pavilion lit a fire to the Scripture Pavilion and destroyed all the materials inside. And these officials themselves dedicated themselves to the sea of fire. At that time, the officials of Liaodong were still relatively backbone.
Seeing that the original site of the Scripture Pavilion had been covered with fluffy weeds, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi's hearts were even more emotional. At that time, the scene of the fall of Liaoyang seemed to appear vividly in front of them. Lost the land for twenty years" is finally back in the arms of the Ming Kingdom, what kind of feeling must it be!
In the past, I don't know how many people dreamed of recovering Liaoyang and recovering Liaodong, but they never did. On the contrary, the Tartars have to inch in, and they are becoming more and more arrogant. It is only today that the Tiger Army has succeeded in realizing their dream.
"This is the handwriting of Lord Yuan Yingtai......"
After entering the hall," Gu Yanwu looked at the wall next to him, and suddenly said sadly.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the wall that Gu Yanwu was staring at. I only saw that on the large column on the left side of the Yamen Hall of the Liaodong Dusi, there were many large characters engraved with gold. After the Tatars occupied Liaoyang, it is estimated that they were vassals and elegant, and did not eradicate these fonts. Therefore, most of the fonts above can still be seen very clearly. The inscription of these gold fonts is the former Liaodong Economic Strategy Yuan Yingtai.
Looking at the other places of the hall, there are many handwritings of the former Liaodong Jingluo or the governor of Liaodong. As the highest-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, they were all calligraphers, and the handwriting they left behind was "naturally quite outstanding." It's a pity that in Zhang Zhun's opinion, their identities and functions here are quite incompatible. Their handwriting should not be left here. On the contrary, "Eighteen weapons should be placed here."
This hall used to be the power center of the former Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and it was the highest place to control Liaodong. Standing here" is equivalent to controlling Liaodong. The one guarding here should not be an official" but a military general. It's like Li Chengliang at the beginning. Only a military general can suppress this rich but murderous place.
The area controlled by Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was only about two-thirds of today's Liaoning Province, and there was nothing special about it compared to the original land. However, the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the existence of Liaodong. Because, this is the first time that the orthodox dynasty of the Han people has truly incorporated Liaodong into its territory. The arrival of a large number of migrating Han Chinese also began in the Ming Dynasty.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang, no one had the ability, or the intention, to control Liaodong. Therefore, this heavy credit must be recorded on Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter how others slander Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality, no one can erase the immortal achievements he has established for the Han people. Without Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be no Liaodong belonging to the Han people.
During the Han Dynasty, Liaoyang was also called Xiangping, which was the territory of the Gongsun family. However, the power of the Gongsun family is obviously the weakest. During the Tang Dynasty, it was basically a state of bondage, and it was the territory of the Khitans. During the Song Dynasty, it has always been the source of foreign races. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Han set up a real ruling institution here. This ruling body is where Zhang Zhun is now, the Yamen of Liaodong.
"My lord, what do you want to say?"
Wang Junyu asked in a low voice.
He was now standing in the hall, staring at the front with shining eyes, his expression was different, his chest was slightly undulating, obviously he was unable to control himself, as if he had something to vent. Wang Junyu's xìngzi is very far from Wang Shide, he prefers to pat Zhang Zhun's sycophants, and likes to observe words and views, and now Zhang Zhun's heart is moving, he immediately asked with interest.
Zhang Zhun really wanted to say something. Standing in the hall of the Yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Zhang Zhun felt that the blood in his body was surging upward. He felt his body swell with a sense of hope. He could feel that he had done something amazing, and he was full of pride.
From the fall of Liaoyang in the first year of the Apocalypse (6 AD) to the tenth year of Chongzhen (67 AD) this year, a full sixteen years have passed. In this long river of time, the name of Liaodong Dusi has been given more meaning. Standing here, he seemed to be able to "see" how the Tartars had captured this place seventeen years earlier.
The fall of Liaoyang was a tragic battle. The Ming Dynasty's high-level in Liaodong was almost completely wiped out. The elite of the Ming army in Liaodong also lost most of it. The chief officer alone killed more than ten in battle. It is certainly not so easy to hold accountable. Sixteen years have passed, and many things have been forgotten. However, there is one thing that cannot be forgotten, and that is Yuan Yingtai's responsibility.
Yuan Yingtai is a typical person, and he has a hand in governing civil affairs, but if he is put in the position of military command, he will be finished. With his ability, he simply could not cope with the ferocious attack of the Tartars. This is not the tragedy of Yuan Yingtai alone, but the tragedy of the entire Ming Dynasty.
The deformed employment policy has naturally led to deformed results.
Say a few words" can no longer express Zhang Zhun's mood at this time. He decided to write a few words. He wants to write out all the "true" thoughts in his heart. He wants to deeply engrave the deformed employment policy of the Ming Dynasty in the long river of history. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice! "Pen and ink!"
Wang Junyu hurriedly prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Soon "pen, ink, paper, and inkstone will be ready."
Zhang Zhun walked to the front of the desk, picked up the wolf's tooth, turned his wrist, walked the dragon and snake, and wrote a few big characters on the rice paper: "People lead the army, it hurts!" β
In six simple words, the indignation in his heart was fully expressed.
If Liaodong was not governed by people at that time, I believe that the Tartars would never have a chance to get ahead. Liaodong was originally a military administration area, and a capable military general should be stationed there. If there are fierce people like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, how can something happen in Liaodong? All this is because the official clique of the Ming Kingdom is "too egoistic, too corrupt, and too greedy for power."
Zhang Zhun does not object to the Minister of Defense and the like, it should be held by people, after all, "the rule of the country should still be led by people, and the military government will bring more negative influences." Later generations proved that the side effects of the junta were indeed too great. But "commanding battles, going to the front, and so on, should not be people," especially people who don't know soldiers at all.
Specifically, the military department Shangshu can be an official "Liaodong Jingluo or something", and it must be a military general. In other words, the power to command the war should not be handed over to Yuan Yingtai. Yuan Yingtai was misplaced. In the interior, he must be a good governor or something, but in Liaodong, he is tragic.
"Framed."
Wang Junyu hurriedly called a few Tiger Ben soldiers to take away the rice paper that had not yet dried. He is a good hand at patting sycophants, and he is ready to frame Zhang Zhun's inscription to be bright and bright, and then hang it in the hall and spread it for eternity.
The people around Zhang Zhun naturally felt a little emotional when they saw Zhang Zhun write such an inscription. However, they did not completely agree with Zhang Zhun's inscription. After all, they're basically all human. They believe that it is not the official's fault, but Yuan Yingtai's fault alone. If Xiong Tingbi or something like that were replaced, Liaoyang would definitely not fall easily.
The contradictions between classes are indeed too difficult to reconcile. Even Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, who have some admiration for Zhang Zhun, dare not agree with Zhang Zhun's views. Zhang Zhun opposes leading the army, and there are reasons for Zhang Zhun. However, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi both felt that there were also good reasons for not giving the martial artists to lead the army.
Five dynasties and ten countries, all of which were ruled by military generals, and as a result, the world was in chaos, isn't this a lesson profound? If at this time, all parts of the Ming Kingdom were led by military generals, and the imperial court would not be able to control it at all! The final result will inevitably be a melee between warlords and a mess. Of course, such an idea, the two of them will not come out to Zhang Zhun Table 1ΓΉ.
Someone suddenly asked: "Lord Dudu, after the destruction of the Tartars, are you going to enter the capital and sit in the Forbidden City?" β
The voices of the audience suddenly fell silent.
Entering the Jingshi?
Crowned king?
Emperor?
The Tiger Ben army has recovered Liaoyang, and its prestige is already rising, and the Tartars no longer have any ability to resist. The next battle should not have much suspense. At this time, Zhang Zhun entered the Beijing Division and entered the Forbidden City, which must have been expected by everyone.
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said quietly: "There is no such arrangement for the time being." β
Someone chased after him and said: "Lord Dudu, the imperial court has withdrawn to Shu, what do you think about this matter?" β
Yes, these people will think of themselves as journalists for future generations.
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Shu is a good place, suitable for the elderly." β
His answer seems straightforward, but in fact, he didn't step directly on the point. This makes the person who asks the question a little unwilling. However, with their courage, they did not dare to ask more directly.
After all, this is the land of the Tiger Army.
Someone asked sharply, "Lord Governor, it is said that the Japanese have declared war on you."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "That's true." Our army is preparing for a counterattack. β
The man continued: "It is said that the Japanese are in contact with Zheng Zhilong, isn't that true? β
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I think it's more appropriate for you to ask Zheng Zhilong this question." β
The man was slightly stunned, wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say.
Gu Hengbo asked bluntly: "Zhang Zhun, will you be the emperor?" β
Zhang Zhun replied bluntly: "Others can be, why can't I?" β
The audience was silent for a moment, and the gods and goddesses were different.
Zhang Zhun personally admitted that he had the ambition to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. This means that the imperial court's partial peace in Shu is only afraid that it will be short-lived. With the strength of the Tiger Army, it must rule the whole country and not give other forces a chance to survive.
What made them feel even more uneasy was that Zhang Zhun's answer was full of domineering. The strategy of building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the kingship is no longer suitable for the Tiger Army. Through the war of the Tartars, the domineering of the Tiger Ben army has been fully out.
No matter how low-key the Tiger Army is, no one will be careless with the Tiger Army anymore. At this time, the Tiger Ben Army will fully show its domineering. In the future, it will be the world of the Tiger Army!
Suddenly, someone came in a hurry and whispered a few words in Wang Junyu's ear. Wang Junyu nodded, then came to Zhang Zhun's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, Huang Taiji sent someone to ask to see you." β
