For Zhang Juzheng, there are different evaluations in history, and Emperor Chongzhen also knows this very clearly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Juzheng is arrogant, and can even be said to be dictatorial, paying attention to pomp and circumstance, thinking that as long as he does things for the court, some flaws in his character can be ignored.

These things, Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother to explain at all, and he didn't bother to think about them, so what he wanted to talk about was Zhang Juzheng's influence on Wanli Zhongxing.

"Zhang Juzheng advocated reform, although the reform was not deep, but it also alleviated the contradiction to a certain extent, so that the early Wanli period swept away the decline of the Jiajing period, whether it is in the economy or in the military, this is Zhang Juzheng's credit."

"After Zhang Juzheng's death, most of the New Policies were abolished, and because of the shortcomings of the New Policies themselves, the achievements of the New Policies quickly disappeared."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he did not speak, but looked at Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin.

When the two of them heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, they were a little afraid to be confident, and at the same time a little embarrassed. They agreed with what Emperor Chongzhen said, but why was this so? It's not because of Emperor Wanli, but who dares to say it?

Emperor Wanli has not been in court for more than 30 years, it can be said that he has created a record, if it were not for the foundation left by Zhang Juzheng, the three major expeditions would not have been able to fight at all. However, the three major campaigns have also exhausted the foundation of Zhang Juzheng's new policy, whether it is talent or other aspects.

"When I arrived in Salhu, Zhang Juzheng's new deal basically died!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "It can be seen from here that if the country wants to be militarily strong, what it needs is political communication and people, sufficient taxes, rich countries and strong soldiers, only when the country is rich, can it be strong, and a rich country is the foundation!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he was looking at Sun Chengzong, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen said this to Sun Chengzong.

"The emperor is wise!" Although several people had different expressions, they still agreed with Emperor Chongzhen's words.

Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this topic could come here, and changed the topic: "The purpose of maintaining Liaodong is to start cleaning up the court and straightening out internal affairs. ”

"The minister is here!" Wang Zaijin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and walked to the middle of the hall to stand still.

"I have sealed your military department book, the capital of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Liaodong, the king of the banner and the sword, arbitrary, cheap and full authority to deal with Liaodong affairs." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zaijin and said loudly: "The eunuchs who supervise the army only have the right to supervise, and they have no right to ask about the command, understand?" ”

Wang Zaijin's body trembled, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The ministers are grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, the ministers must be smeared with liver and brain, in order to repay the grace of the saint!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Get up!" When you arrive in Liaodong, you should take measures to defend steadily, rectify military discipline, eliminate redundant personnel, and verify military salaries. As for Mao Wenlong in Phi Dao, Aiqing can deal with it at his discretion, but remember one thing, don't tamper with Mao Wenlong for the time being, no one can replace his position. ”

Regarding Mao Wenlong, Emperor Chongzhen had to mention that he was really afraid that Wang Zaijin would kill Mao Wenlong with one knife in the past, and then the matter would be troublesome.

As for how to deal with Mao Wenlong, Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay attention to it at all, once the new army was successful and the land was recovered, Mao Wenlong would naturally have no use value, and it would not be a matter of his own words to rub the circle and pinch it flattened at that time.

"The minister understands!" Wang Zaijin nodded, signaling that he understood, and then bowed back and retreated.

"You leave for Liao as soon as possible, I will send Jinyi Guard as your pro-army, there is anything you can tell them to do!" Emperor Chongzhen once again added: "Don't let me down! ”

Wang Zaijin was immediately moved, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard is the Qin Army of the Son of Heaven, and it is a personal guard for the ministers, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

"You are the Son of Heaven, everywhere you go, if you bow down in person, of course you must be guarded by the pro-army, so it's decided." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, directly interrupted Wang Zaijin's words, and settled the matter: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to let Yuan Keli be the governor of Denglai!" Wang Zaijin thought about it and still said it.

Yuan Keli? Emperor Chongzhen frowned, he didn't doubt Yuan Keli's ability, but Yuan Keli's grade was too big, right? With such a grade as the governor of Denglai, I'm afraid my body can't bear it, right? Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but glance at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong didn't expect that Wang Zaijin would protect Yuan Keli, and his heart suddenly changed a little about Wang Zaijin, which can be regarded as admitting his loyalty to the country.

"Your Majesty, Lao Ji is a long way, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!" When Sun Chengzong saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, he knew what Emperor Chongzhen meant, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Keli is suitable to be the governor of Denglai, and he is one south and one north with Lord Wang, and Liaodong is safe!" ”

This arrangement is a great joy for everyone, and the one who is not satisfied is afraid that Mao Wenlong, right? For Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong has no good impression.

However, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will immediately let someone pass the decree to Yuan Keli and drop him into Beijing." ”

Seeing that Wang Zaijin's matter was over, Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to Sun Chengzong again, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, I am preparing to clean up the Beijing camp, I don't know if Aiqing has a suitable candidate?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a very suitable candidate, and this person is Li Banghua!" When Sun Chengzong saw that Emperor Chongzhen said that he wanted to clean up the Beijing camp, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly said: "Li Banghua is quite talented, familiar with military affairs, upright and usable, and is a very suitable candidate. ”

Li Banghua? Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and the original plot seemed to be Li Banghua's purging military camp.

Although many people attacked him for being a member of the Donglin Party, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Li Banghua was a very upright figure. He organized the defense of the capital, and he was also martyred calmly, and he is a talent. However, there is one point, Li Banghua cleaned up the military camp, but he eliminated redundant officials and redundant personnel, and also dismissed many people who ate empty salaries.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's purpose is not this, he is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion, and even use the Beijing battalion as the basis to organize and train the new army, and shape the prestige of the three major battalions. Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think of a person, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, maybe he could train an army named after him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said directly: "Let Li Banghua enter Beijing, I want to meet this person, and then make a decision!" ”

Sun Chengzong's face was happy, although Emperor Chongzhen did not directly appoint Li Banghua, but Sun Chengzong knew that with Li Banghua's ability, as long as Emperor Chongzhen was willing to give him a chance, then there would definitely be no problem, and he would definitely be competent.
