Chapter 80: Wei Zhongxian's thoughts
When Wei Zhongxian followed Wang Chengen to the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was really busy studying the map of Shanxi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for why Chongzhen is in such a hurry to clean up Shanxi, because Shanxi is the barrier between Beijing and Inner Mongolia. The mountain is bordered by Inner Mongolia in the northwest, Zhongzhou in the south, Shaanxi in the west, and Henan in the east. There are Luliang Taihang on the left and right, and there is the Fen River valley in the middle, and the geographical position is superior. According to Shanxi, the situation of Mongolia entering the Central Plains can be contained. This is the general trend of the world, so Shanxi must be in the hands of its own people, otherwise, the situation will be very passive.
If Shanxi is lost during the **** period, the Beijing division will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation will be out of control. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a plan before the end of the year, take advantage of the end of the year, take Shanxi, and completely control Shanxi.
Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen very carefully, and didn't seem to see the arrival of the two, so as not to be embarrassed by the scene, and specially reminded: "Your Majesty, Grandpa Wei is here." ”
Only then did Chongzhen notice the two of them, and said to the eunuch standing aside: "Quick, to Father-in-law Wei" and said enthusiastically: "Father-in-law Wei, you are finally back, quick, tell me about the progress of the past few months." ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, the old slave left Beijing that day and entered Shanxi directly. The headquarters of the East Factory was set up in Shanxi, and after several months of development, the network of secret agents centered in Shanxi has spread all over the country. ”
Chongzhen said: "Very good, really good, what I want is such an effect." In the past few days, you have drawn up a detailed piece of music for me, so that I can have a more comprehensive grasp. ”
"Old slave, obey." Wei Zhongxian continued: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to the old slave entering Beijing this time? Of course, Wei Zhongxian knew Chongzhen's purpose in recruiting him back to Beijing. However, it is impossible for him to say it, the reason is very simple, people can be smart, but they can't be too smart, especially in front of smart people, sometimes they know but they have to pretend not to know, this is the basic truth for his subordinates.
Chongzhen's face sank and said: "This time, I recruited Aiqing into Beijing for only one purpose, I want to comprehensively clean up the political power in Shanxi before the year, and I want to fully control the political power in Shanxi in my hands." ”
Although Wei Zhongxian had expected it a long time ago, he was still a little surprised. It's not that it doesn't work, it's that the time is too rushed. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, is this time too hasty, it will cause a big mess if you do this." ”
Chongzhen sighed and said, "I didn't know that this would have too much impact, but time waits for no one." According to reliable sources, the Jurchens in the Northeast began to move again, and with the death of Hachi, the eighth prince of Hachi, Taiji, succeeded to the throne last year. Now Huang Taiji is in charge of the Jurchen power. This person made great contributions to the Jurchens in the Battle of Sarhu, and his military talent was extremely outstanding.
According to the report of the spies, Huang Taiji wants to take advantage of the change of my Ming throne to invade my Ming Dynasty. Recently, the Jurchen soldiers and horses have been frequently mobilized, and the battle between the Jurchens and our Ming Dynasty is about to break out. Now, if the Shanxi regime is unstable, I'm afraid that the Ming Jingshi will have the worry of besieging the city. ”
Wei Zhongxian listened to what Chongzhen said, his heart was full of shock, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
