Chapter 481: The green peach is also lost
The military debated very fiercely, but in essence there was only one purpose, the Wei government could send troops to the east, but the Holy Lord and the center must make a guarantee that the responsibility for the fall of the northwest border county cannot be fully shifted to the northwest army, and the northwest soldiers cannot be allowed to shed both blood and tears.
I am not guilty of any more crimes, so I can ensure that vested interests are not lost, and long-term interests cannot be taken care of, at least I have to protect my immediate interests, which is understandable
In Xijing, who can make such a guarantee on behalf of the Holy Lord and the Center?
Of course, there are the backbone of the reformers such as Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Xiao Zao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yuan Chong, the secretary and young eunuch, as well as the ministers of Shandong who supported Jiang Zuoren, such as Ming Ya, the head of the military department, Lu Chu, the right secretary of the Shangshu, Guo Wenyi, the secretary of the Inner History, Cui Minling, the secretary, and Li Changya, the secretary of the Jingzhao Inner History.
But their weight is far from enough, and the Eastern Capital must also make commitments. If our Xijing army now "takes care of this", it will inevitably "lose the other", and I will "lose the other", and this is the culpability. Historically, merit and demerit cannot be offset, and the punishment for mistakes is far greater than the reward for merit, so if the central government does not give a clear guarantee, then please play the Holy Lord and ask the Holy Lord to issue an edict, so that the time for sending troops will be delayed, and whether the Eastern Capital can hold on is a matter of two words.
In fact, this kind of controversy exists not only in "when to send troops", but also in "whether to send troops". The Northwest Crisis is not only the business of the Northwest Army, but also the business of Xijing and the Eastern Capital, but the main energy of the Eastern Capital is on the Eastern Expedition and cannot take into account the situation in the Northwest, so once the border counties of the Western Frontier really fall, Xijing and the Northwest Army will bear the main responsibility, which is also the reason why the local nobles of Guanlong and even the reformers who stayed in Xijing are in a dilemma in sending troops to rescue the Eastern Capital.
I can't afford not to save the eastern capital, and I can't afford the responsibility for the fall of the western border counties, but compared with the two, it is too difficult to save the western border counties, and now Xijing simply doesn't have the strength to save the western border counties thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles away, and the eastern capital is eight hundred miles away, close at hand, and the responsibility for not saving the people in death is even greater.
Yuan Hongsi is a scapegoat, whether he is Yang Xuangan's comrade or not, and whether he has the idea and action of rebellion, as long as he sits in the position left behind by Honghua, is responsible for the military of the thirteen counties of Longyou, and is the commander of the Northwest Army, he will inevitably bear the first responsibility for the fall of the border counties in Western Xinjiang, but this is not enough, Yuan Hongsi has a mouth and evidence, he can expose some dark inside stories in the northwest, drag some military and political ministers in the northwest and even Xijing into the water, and shirk some of his own guilt, so if you can find evidence of Yuan Hongsi's rebellion, Sitting on the charge of rebellion against Yuan Hongsi, clearing Yuan Hongsi's power in the Northwest Army, and completely blocking his mouth and preventing him from speaking, Xijing will inevitably be able to push all the drunken people who fell in the border counties of Western Xinjiang onto Yuan Hongsi's head.
I believe that the Eastern Capital is also happy to see it, after all, the ripe "watermelon" of the Eastern Expedition was not picked up, and the green "peach" of the Western Expedition fell again, exhausted the national strength but gained nothing, both were lost, and someone must come out to take responsibility, and this responsibility is only for Yu Zhongwen, Yang Xuangan, Li Zixiong and other political forces to bear it is not enough, but also to kill more, the more the merrier.
If the "scapegoat" is found, the responsibility of Xijing and the Northwest Army will be smaller, and the lesser of two evils will be chosen, and sending troops to the eastern capital will become a necessary means to protect their own interests, and the credit of sending troops to the eastern capital will offset the criminal responsibility for the fall of some of the border counties in the western frontier, which is the consensus of the major political forces in Xijing.
However, the small culpability does not mean that there is no culpability, the Northwest Army lost the battle on the front line, lost the territory, and what it has to bear is direct culpability, compared to the indirect responsibility that Xijing has to bear, many middle and low-level officers in the Northwest Army may have lost their lives because of this, so after the situation in the eastern capital changed, the Guan Sergeant clan immediately adjusted its strategy, and turned to shouting to send troops, but the Northwest warriors are not, the Northwest Military takes the opportunity to threaten, and the central government must reduce our criminal responsibility, even if it is not pardoned, at least it is necessary to cut off the heads of a group of front-line soldiersAfter all, the soldiers fought bloodily, the soldiers defended the country, and the responsibility for the fall of the border counties was not because they lost the battle, but because the country did not give them the strength to defeat the enemy. How can you lose your territory?
Ministers such as Wei Wensheng, Xiao Zao, and Yuan Chong turned a deaf ear and ignored the military's threats.
They will not make such a guarantee, and they are not capable of making such a guarantee, which is equivalent to putting all the responsibility for the fall of the western border counties on the eastern capital, to the holy lord and the center, because they moved the eastern crusade, because they tilted their national strength to the northern battlefield and did not continue to give strong support to the western frontier, as a result, the western border counties of the western frontier fell, and all the victories of the western expedition were lost within three or four years.
How is this possible? How could the Holy Lord and the Center possibly accept it? After the defeat of the Holy Lord and the Central Expedition in the Eastern Expedition, the only thing that can still keep their "face" is the proud feats of opening up the territory of the five border counties in one breath obtained by the Western Expedition, and now you have lost the results of the Western Expedition, and you have to put the responsibility for the loss on the Holy Lord and the Central Mission, and let them slap themselves in the face, how can there be such a thing in the world? If you have a advantage, take advantage of it, run away if you don't have a cheap, you don't care if you eat and drink enough, the life and death of the border county has become a matter for the holy lord and the center, and it has nothing to do with you, so what do you want the Northwest Garrison to do?
The military, however, saw its demands as reasonable. Is Dongdu responsible? If Dongjing is not responsible, then is Xijing responsible? If there is no responsibility for Western Kyoto, and the military and political officials of Western Kyoto have nothing to do with the fall of the border counties, then who will take the credit for the great victory of the Western Expedition in the first place? Who took the martial arts to open up the territory? We have worked the dirty work, the blood and sweat are also ours, the credit and rewards are all yours, we have recognized these, but everything has a bottom line, you can't have no bottom line. If you have a advantage, you will take advantage of it, if you are not cheap, you will run, you will not care if you are full and drink, and the life and death of the border counties have become our business, and it has nothing to do with you, so what do you need from civil and military ministers?
The three generals roared in the lobby, their faces were red, and they did a lot of acting, and the Wu Benlang below Ling Hu Derun, Pang Yu of the Prison Gate Zhige, and Dugu Wudu, the commander of Jingfu, could only keep their mouths shut at this time, no matter what they thought in their hearts. It is related to the interests of the defense government, the interests of the Northwest Army, and even the life and death of the front-line border officers.
However, in this matter, the central government has a natural advantage, and the military's disadvantage is too obvious, not to mention that the East will not agree, and the West will not accept the military's coercion. However, at the critical moment, the military was very strong, coupled with the fact that the commander of the Northwest Army, Honghua, stayed behind Yuan Honghei and was already in the position of commander, and the Northwest Army was not in charge, if the central government did not make certain concessions, Xijing did not give the necessary commitments, which angered the military.
Finally, someone spoke, and Yang, the counselor of the counselor's station, came up with a mediation strategy.
The lord of the confessor is in charge of the edict and asks questions, sends envoys to comfort, holds the festival and observes, and is wronged and recited, and the Si Litai and the Yushi Tai are called the three Taiwans, and their chief is the doctor of the confessor, and the person who has the secretary is the deputy governor. Yang is a clan, and his father is the former Nayan Yang Da, that is, the younger brother of Yang Xiong, the king of Guande, and the cousin of the Holy Lord. Among the children of Yang Ze's generation, the highest prestige is Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, and Yang has a certain gap compared with him, but Yang Ze, like his father Yang Da, "has the appearance of a gentleman and the heart of a gentleman", is a humble gentleman, with good character, good official reputation, and is respected by scholars, coupled with his respected royal status, he still has considerable influence in the officialdom.
Yang Ze's method is very simple, the matter is put on hold and discussed for the time being.
Now Yang Xuangan has not surrounded the Eastern Capital, and the Eastern Capital has not yet been sent to the book for help, and it is still unclear how the shape of the Eastern Capital will be displayed. In addition, the crisis in the northwest is indeed severe, with internal worries and external difficulties, including the resignation of Yuan Hongsi and the riots of the Turks in Huining, and the counteroffensive of Achailu (Tuyuhun people) and the defection of the countries of the Western Regions, while the Northwest Army was defeated and retreated on the two battlefields of the West Sea and the Western Regions, and the crisis was further aggravated. The westward expedition expanded the territory and opened up five border counties, and now three are lost at one time, and half of the western frontier is lost, so how to explain a large vast territory? The unification of Middle Earth and the strong kingdom were the time to develop their ambitions, but the result was a disadvantageous division, the Eastern Expedition was defeated, the Western Xinjiang lost its territory again, and the Middle Earth was defeated on both the eastern and western fronts, and the consequence was too severe, and the direct consequence was that the relations between the North and the South were tense or even broken.
This is a common policy of national defense, so the Holy Lord and the center must adjust the national policy in the future, focusing on "internal security", internal stability, national strength is once again displayed, and Middle-earth has the strength to "open up the outside" again and expand the territory again. From this future trend, how should Xijing and the Northwest Army choose? Of course, it is to go to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, and first "Ann".
As for when to send troops, you can make a decision based on the situation in the eastern capital, there is no need to set an uncertain time limit on the basis of random speculation, this is meaningless, it is meaningful that the specific matters of sending troops to the eastern capital should be agreed immediately, such as how many troops to send to rescue the eastern capital, after the rescue army leaves Xijing, what should the Xijing garrison do? If Yuan Hongsi mutinied, Xiao Pass in the north of Guanzhong would be an important pass to protect Xijing, what about the defense of Xiao Pass? If the Tuyuhun people's counterattack is successful, the West Sea is lost, Heyou is in trouble, and Heyou is in trouble, what should he do if Heyou is in town?
The most important thing in this is the right side of the river.
To the right of the river is the area west of the Yellow River (that is, today's Gansu and Ningxia), bordering the West Sea of Qinghai and Tibet to the west, and adjacent to the Qilian Mountains to the north. If the Tuyuhun people captured the West Sea and entered the right side of the river, then it was very likely that the Turkic people in Huining would raise an army to rebel and fight back and forth with the Tuyuhun people, so that the entire Heyou region could fall. The right side of the river fell, the Yellow River was cut off, the connection between Hexi and Longxi was interrupted, and Hexi fell into the front and back of the Xitu captives, and the enemy was in danger at that time, and the entire northwest situation was about to be overturned, and Guanzhong was bound to shake, and the shape was extremely bad.
