Chapter Eighty-Eight: Wang Zaijin is under Liaodong
Hearing Zu Dashou talk about Tartar, Wang Zaijin's heart suddenly rose, and he hurriedly asked, "General Zu, can you tell me in detail what is going on?" ”
Zu Dashou nodded and said: "After the battle of Ningyuan last year, although Nurhachi was shelled, he still resented Nekharkha for helping us, so he crusaded against Nekharkha for the second time, and Nekharkha was defeated, and their leader Zhuoliktu defeated the Xilamulun River, that is, he met Lin Dan Khan at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Lin Dan Khan severely rebuked Zhuoliktu for his disloyalty to himself and the Nekhalkha affair between us and the Later Jin, and took the opportunity to merge the rest of his tribes, so that one of the five Inner Khalkha tribes, the Flower Stir-fry Department (Uziyette) no longer exists."
In August last year, Nurhachi died, Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Houjin Khan, in October, Huang Taiji repeatedly robbed and killed the envoys sent to Korqin by Houjin in the five Inner Khalkha tribes, and attacked the remnants of Inner Khalkha again, "those who obey are raised, and those who resist the enemy are killed", and the five departments of Inner Khalkha fell apart under the attack of Houjin and Lin Dan Khan, leaving only the Bahrain Department and the Zarut Department. ”
Zu Dashou sighed, at that time, someone had proposed that the Ming Dynasty should send troops at this time to help Lin Dan Khan and stabilize the situation in Mongolia, but this proposal was also vetoed by Yuan Chonghuan.
"Dashuai, now there are five departments in Inner Khalkha, only the Bahrain Department and the Zalut Department are left, and the Horqin Department has completely guided Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji has married the sister of the head of the Horqin Department as the queen, and the road to the west of Huang Taiji has actually been cleared."
"Now Lin Dan Khan is powerless to stop Huang Taiji, I believe that soon Lin Dan Khan will move west, and then it will be dangerous here!"
Wang Zaijin looked at the area that Zu Dashou had drawn on the map, and sighed in his heart, and at the same time admired the wisdom of Emperor Chongzhen.
Zu Dashou refers to the line from Ao Han to Chifeng and then to Longhua, if this line is opened, Huang Taiji can unite with his Mongolian tribes, directly rush across the Great Wall, take Chengde from the direction of Longjing Pass at Xifengkou, and then storm J County is really Bingfa BJ City.
If this situation arises, Wang Zaijin knows that his defensive plan is completely finished.
The Ningjin defense line, which was heavily defended by itself, and even the Shanhaiguan defense line, were all in vain. At that time, he will be mobilized by Houjin, tired of running for his life, his men and horses are infantry, and the cavalry chasing Huang Taiji is joking.
When he was in the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen was talking about Mao Wenlong, he mentioned the matter of Huang Taiji's westward expansion, but it was just a passing by!
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not pin all his hopes on Wang Zaijin, once the situation in Liaodong was eroded, Huang Taiji broke through the Great Wall as in history, and sent troops to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was ready to fight with Huang Taiji, with his own new army.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen is also hesitating in his heart, placing the battlefield near the capital, and it will be broken in the first battle, and it will take a lot of effort to clean it up by himself at that time.
Emperor Chongzhen did not tell Wang Zaijin about this, but at this time, Wang Zaijin realized the seriousness of the matter, and at the same time realized the importance of North Korea. After pondering for a long time, Wang Zaijin nodded to Zu Dashou and said: "What General Zu said, Ben Shuai has all memorized, and Ben Shuai will play the court immediately." ”
Hearing Wang Zaijin's words, Zu Dashou nodded, very satisfied in his heart, and his resistance to Wang Zaijin was much less. Chest high, calm, quite complacent.
Wang Zaijin turned his gaze to Man Gui at the next moment, and Wang Zaijin also valued this general soldier very much in his heart, this is an officer who can fight well.
However, before Wang Zaijin could speak, a person suddenly ran in from outside, who was the herald lieutenant: "Qiyu Marshal, six hundred miles of the capital is urgent!" ”
Wang Zaijin was slightly stunned, six hundred miles in a hurry? Could it be that something happened, the people present were also stunned, what they were most afraid of now was the letter from the imperial court, sometimes it was really a messy order, which made people grit their teeth angrily, and there was nothing to be done.
Beckoning to the captain, Wang Zaijin hurriedly said, "Hurry up and present it!" ”
The lieutenant didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to Wang Zaijin, and then bowed to the side.
Opening this eight-hundred-mile urgency, Wang Zaijin quickly glanced at it, but his expression was a little not good-looking, for no other reason, this letter was an important person. There are the official regulations of the cabinet, as well as the personal seal of Emperor Chongzhen, obviously it is not possible to let people go, and there is no room for negotiation.
Look at the two people you want, one of the guerrilla generals is called Cao Wenzhao, this is nothing, even if he can fight some, Wang Zaijin will not be reluctant. But the person in the back wanted Man Gui, which made Wang Zaijin feel distressed.
Everyone saw that Wang Zaijin's face was not very good-looking, and they thought that something was wrong, so they glanced at each other, and they all looked at the surprise in each other's eyes.
This marshal has just arrived, could it be that the imperial court is so eager to give a problem?
Wang Zaijin put down the letter, glanced at Man Gui, and said with a wry smile: "Ben Shuai thought that this time General Man Gui would be able to help each other, but I didn't expect it to work. General Man Gui, the imperial court has summoned you back to Beijing in six hundred miles, you are ready, let's go! ”
Man Gui was stunned, how could he spread that he had returned to Beijing? As soon as Wang Zhichen left, he transferred himself away, could someone frame him?
Seeing Man Gui's black face, Wang Zaijin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "General Man Gui, don't misunderstand, this time there is also the guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao who entered Beijing with you." This is said above, it is the request of the king's minister, and it is of other important use to you. ”
As soon as he heard that Wang Zhichen was going to leave by himself, Man Gui breathed a sigh of relief, with his friendship with Wang Zhichen, Lao Shuai naturally would not pit himself.
"Since that's the case, then Man Gui will leave!" Man Gui nodded, stood up and asked, "Dashuai, I don't know who is taking my place?" To whom do you need to hand over the errand? "It's a very critical thing.
Wang Zaijin glanced at Man Gui and said helplessly: "General Man Gui, the person who took your place is General Zhao Shujiao!" ”
Man Gui was stunned, he never thought that it would be Zhao Shujiao, he and Zhao Shujiao did not deal with each other.
Last year, he was stationed in Ningyuan, and he was also very good with Zhao Shujiao, and when Ningyuan was besieged, Zhao led the sect to send a capital secretary and four garrisons to help, obviously they were delaying the time, so he refused to let them enter the city, because Yuan Chonghuan persuaded them from the side, so he let them in.
After the siege of Ningyuan was lifted, Zhao Shujiao actually wanted to share his exploits, how could he agree, and blamed him for not coming to help the war in person, and there was a contradiction from then on.
However, Man Gui also knew that the imperial decree could not be violated, so he nodded and said, "In this case, I would like to ask General Zhao to go with me to hand over the defense!" ”
Wang Zaijin nodded, and said to Zhao Shujiao on the side: "General Zhao, go!" ”
Watching Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao go out together, Wang Zaijin kept thinking in his heart about how he should arrange these horses.
After a while, Wang Zaijin raised his head and said, "This commander has decided to take advantage of the absence of war in winter to consult with your men. In addition to eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is also necessary to check the salaries and burdens of the military, and severely punish those who eat empty salaries and claim false amounts. ”
"You go back and check each other, and Ben Shuai will also send someone, or personally ask, I hope you understand."
The people present looked at each other and knew in their hearts that this time they would be cut again. At the same time, this is also when Wang Zaijin shows his wrists, and the co-optation and suppression are about to begin, what to do, everyone has a personal plan.
"Ben Shuai will rush to Phi Island early tomorrow morning to see Mao Wenlong!" Wang Zaijin's tone was very light, and there was some noncommittal meaning in his words, I don't know if he was dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's non-arrival. has a good relationship with Mao Wenlong, and thinks about how to communicate with Mao Wenlong.
Wang Zaijin was completely aware of the importance of Mao Wenlong at this time, why did Emperor Chongzhen care so much about Mao Wenlong.
Now Mao Wenlong's Phi Dao has become the only restraint of Huang Taiji, and once something happens to Phi Dao, Huang Taiji will completely lose his restraints. East to North Korea, west to Zhangjiakou, all of them are the places where Huang Taiji gallops. At that time, it will be troublesome, and Huang Taiji will break into the Ming Dynasty from any location.
The so-called Ningjin defense line, the so-called Shanhaiguan defense line, all became jokes. Wang Zaijin naturally didn't want to do this, so he decided to go to Phi Dao to have a look and meet Mao Wenlong.
At this time, in BJ City, Emperor Chongzhen did not know that Wang Zaijin had already started to work in Liaodong.
Emperor Chongzhen sent the holy decree down, and ordered the military department and the household department to cooperate with the inspection of the Beijing camp this time. The military department is Sun Chengzong's territory, and Li Banghua was recommended by him, so naturally there is no problem, but the household department may not be so smooth.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was already preparing to repair the household department, and Zhou Fulu's case had already burned to the household department. When he arrived at Jinyiwei's edict, Zhou Fulu poured beans into the bamboo tube and began to talk about other people. raided Zhou Fulu's home and found some evidence.
In combination with Wei Zhongxian's red and white album, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered the arrest of Sang Zhengmao, the right attendant of the household department, as for how long the household department Shangshu can last, this is an unknown suspense.
Lu Xiangsheng also followed Li Banghua and began to get busy, and the health center where Li Banghua completed the investigation ushered in not a sigh of relief, but Lu Xiangsheng's strict investigation and purge.
Unlike Li Banghua, Li Banghua mainly cleaned up empty salaries, false claims, and embezzlement of armaments. Lu Xiangsheng is a recruit, but all those who are unqualified must be hated. According to Lu Xiangsheng's requirements for the soldiers, those old soldiers, young master soldiers, and all kinds of soldiers were all lighted out.
For a while, BJ City was very noisy, all of them were dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng, and even the excerpts of the impeachment were handed to Emperor Chongzhen.
