Chapter Seventy-Eight: High Fives
"Yes, I think so!"
Mao Wenlong stood up and walked hurriedly in the room, and after half a ring, he suddenly turned back to Han Xu and said, "The rise of Dongyu is also the beginning of this troubled world!" I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, at the beginning of Wanli, there was Zhang Jiangling as the phase, the treasury was full, the local officials did not dare to be lazy and slack, after the death of Jiangling, now the government of Jiangling is completely abolished, the official style and public morale are all a thousand miles, even if there are three major expeditions are also the surface scenery, Renchen and the chaos of Liaozhen have exhausted the strength of Liaozhen, otherwise with the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Liaozhen back then, what capital does Dongyu have to come out and jump? There is no need to say much about these words, the important thing is that in my opinion, the tens of thousands of elites in the East are now difficult to control, if the court is up and down to regard the East as a strong enemy, but recently I have seen the court copy of the palace, the princes of the court or only the East is Chenghua, the East in the Jiajing period, only as a small trouble, on the war, but only look at the number of soldiers and horses, how much grain and grass, never ask the details, big words, useless, but those people's music can go straight into the ninefold, now can be considered to be able to make up a big idea, but I can hear, Today's body has been getting worse and worse this year, and I see that I can't hold it for long, and now the dragon is driving the guest, and the things at the bottom, hehe......"
Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but sneer, his opinion on civil officials is really big, and of course it is not for no reason.
Han Xu also secretly admired in his heart, Mao Wenlong is a man with a strong heart, and his ambitions are not small, and he even has nothing to do with the copy of the mansion in Beijing, of course, he also has this way, and it is very troublesome for him to see the copy of the palace, and the news announced by the imperial court is limited, not only the copy of the palace, but also the discussion of everyone in the court, the approval of the cabinet and the celebrants, from the summary and analysis of these things, we can roughly see some doorways.
Han Xu is still short in this regard, and there is no way to compare with Mao Wenlong for a while.
If you say that an intelligence department is set up now, Yan Song and the few clever people he picked out are clever, and it's okay to stare at someone or something, but it's far from going deeper. Now the spy level of Han Xu's subordinates is far worse than that of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and even less than that of Dongyu, the difference is too far.
It can only be saved "at a later date".
Admiration is admiration, Han Xu was also shocked in his heart. He roughly remembered that Wanli died in this year, but he couldn't remember exactly which month of the year, and when he studied history, Wanli Tianqi Chongzhen probably remembered. It can be converted to the Gregorian calendar time, but I really don't have the mind to remember which month.
And the group of people in front of them, whether it is Jingshi or Liaoyang, obviously can already see that Wanli's health is not good, and he is about to die. Both up and down are secretly operating because of this, and all kinds of things are actually rooted in this.
If Wanli's body is still healthy, even if the emperor is very lazy, half of the officials of the six departments can be ignored, but the master of major affairs is still unambiguous, and naturally there will be no chaos at present.
During the Wanli period, everything was sparse. But a Longwan open the sea, the people are still rich, the Xiaoice period is not serious, even the life of the northerners will go on, in terms of living standards, China during the Wanli period has been far from the so-called Kangqian prosperous era, fighting the three major expeditions, Wanli personally grasped. It was also very smoothly fought, and the matter in front of the Dongyu was first dealt with very poorly by the imperial court, and Wanli personally grasped this matter in the past year, and finally settled down, and the Liao affair has improved greatly.
But as soon as the emperor collapsed, it was difficult to say what was going on.
"It's not hard to say. It's that I think it's probably going to be bad. ”
Mao Wenlong's eyes were scorching, he looked at Han Xu and said: "Those civil officials only know how to point fingers and talk about it, but they actually don't know anything about Bian Rong. And most of the government is bad because of these people's peace, now Donglin is powerful, my generation has to be attached, and secondly, we must see the faces of these people clearly, and everything must be decided by themselves first. is still the same sentence, in such a troubled world, we must make up our own minds, take advantage of the time, don't mess up our steps, and be taken advantage of by others. ”
Han Xu has understood so far, speaking of which, Mao Wenlong revealed so much to him tonight, and the important thing is the last paragraph.
First, Mao Wenlong has already made up his mind to abandon Xiong Tingbi and join the Donglin Party, which he did not say very clearly, and it is mixed with a large number of complaints, but the meaning is actually obvious.
Not only did he abandon Xiong Tingbi himself, but he also wanted to persuade Han Xu to be the same as him.
The second is to ask Han Xu to join him, but now Han Xu's official position is the same as his, and Mao Wenlong didn't say anything about the solicitation, but Han Xu cooperated with him, and in terms of qualifications and foundation in the court, Han Xu could only be his assistant.
"Brother Mao." Han Xu didn't say much, but replied simply: "Xiong Gong and I are as kind as a mountain. ”
"Okay, I understand." Mao Wenlong didn't say much, and sat down silently.
Han Xu clasped his fists again and said, "If there is a change above, my brother is willing to be Brother Mao's assistant." ”
This is a surprise to Mao Wenlong, he and Han Xu are both governors, Mao Wenlong is someone in the court, and he has always recommended him, but Xiong Tingbi does not appreciate him very much, and the official has not been promoted, seeing that Han Xu may come from behind at any time, Mao Wenlong can't help but be nervous. But Han Xu is a person, radiant, and the two battles he fought are very beautiful, which shows that his ability is extraordinary, when Mao Wenlong wants to win over, Han Xu is just a general, and after a few methods, he has become a third-grade governor, and if he goes down, maybe Han Xu will be a guerrilla first, but as soon as he expresses his position at this time, Han Xu is willing to be Mao Wenlong's assistant as long as he has the same official position as Mao Wenlong, which cannot but surprise Mao Wenlong.
For Han Xu, this is not a loss.
All of his backstage is Xiong Tingbi, and it is a matter of time before the old bear goes to the throne, Han Xu can't remember the specific time, but he thinks about it soon.
There are few people in Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty to protect him, and as soon as Wanli dies, who will leave if Xiong Tingbi doesn't leave?
As soon as Lao Xiong left, Han Xu didn't invite Liaodong to be treated, and if he didn't make a reliable ally at this time, he wouldn't have a helper in the future, and that day would be sad.
Second, Han Xu knew about Mao Wenlong's opening of the Dongjiang River, but he still didn't know anything about the specific ideas and practices.
After the loss of Shenyang and Liaoyang in the future, Han Xu is also reluctant to retreat to the mountains and seas, firstly, he will be angry, and secondly, there is no room for distribution, even if he mixes to the point of Mangui and Zhao Shujiao, he is still a pawn under the command of civil officials, and has no impact on the general trend of history.
Take the current situation as an example, he has won two battles, but is it useful to save the situation in Liaodong?
The power is too small, even if you do something, it will not have much effect.
As for what he said now, of course, according to the current situation, Han Xu is not a rigid person, and he will be able to walk in the future, and he may not necessarily have to be tied to Mao Wenlong's body.
It's not that Han Xu doesn't like Mao Wenlong, on the contrary, he admires the ambitious Mao Wenlong very much, and the opening of the Dongjiang River is not obtained for nothing, but in any case, Han Xu knows Mao Wenlong's final ending, and he knows clearly and clearly in his heart that Mao Wenlong's road will not work.
"Good!"
Mao Wenlong stood up, raised his right palm, and laughed: "Gentleman Yinuo." ”
Han Xu struck him three times with his palm, and said with a smile: "It's hard to chase the horse!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation!
