Chapter 45 Ji Liao Supervisor

Sima Qiaoyu was startled when he heard someone shouting his name, turned around to look, and saw that among the corpses on the side, there was a corpse with his arm stretched out, "General Sima......".

The corpse's body was covered with blood, and Sima Qiaoyu had already seen the man's face at that time, "Li Qiang! It's you, how are you? ”

"General......

Li Qiang was a soldier commanded by Sima Qiaoyu, he looked at Sima Qiaoyu and said weakly: "General, I can't do it...... Our brethren are dead...... Avenge us......"

After saying this, Li Qiang swallowed his last breath.

Sima Qiaoyu originally only wanted to flee out, and did not take a closer look at these corpses, but now he swept them carefully and found that most of the corpses of the Ming army here were under his own command. Looking at these brothers who were born and died with him, Sima Qiaoyu couldn't help but feel sad, and tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.

"Tian Xiu! It's all you! I must avenge my brethren! "Sima Qiaoyu understands that the reason why the soldiers who died here were the soldiers under his command, and Tian Xiu deliberately arranged it to put his subordinates at the forefront." Tian Xiu, as the chief general of Zhangjiakou, colluded with the Tartars, abandoned the city and fled, until innocent soldiers and people died in vain, my Sima Qiaoyu must take your life in his lifetime! ”

Sima Qiaoyu gritted his teeth, walked out of the south gate of Zhangjiakou quickly, and hurried towards Sichuan.

When Sima Qiaoyu went out of the city from the south gate, Tian Xiu happened to come back from the north gate, and there were still four or five thousand men and horses by his side, which showed that he fled decisively and did not cause too serious casualties.

Tian Xiu entered the city and did not find a shadow of a Tartar soldier, so his heart was steady. Then he remembered Tian Xi, who went to assassinate Sima Qiaoyu, and I don't know if Tian Xi escaped from the city after stabbing Sima Qiaoyu to death. Tian Xiu sent his own soldiers to the prison to check, and casually sent someone to Tian Kee Goods Store to see if there was anything wrong with his family and property.

Soon, some relatives brought back the news that there was nothing to do with their family members and property, but they didn't see Sima Qiaoyu in the prison, and some were just Tian Xi's body.

As soon as he heard that Tian Xi was dead and Sima Qiaoyu was nowhere to be seen, Tian Xiu was stunned at that time, and hurriedly sent someone to find the jailer guarding the prison. The jailers fled early, and none of them died, and they were quickly found. Tian Xiu inquired, and the jailers said that they only saw Tian Xi enter the prison and what they were doing in it, but they didn't know, and later heard that the Tartars were coming, and the brothers didn't have time to take care of him, so they fled for their lives first, and they really didn't know what happened in the prison. )

The jailers who didn't know the details all said this, and the two who knew the details also said the same, Tian Xiu saw this, and there was no way, he couldn't say that he sent Tian Xi to kill Sima Qiaoyu. He can only send people to look for him in the city, he estimates that even if Sima Qiaoyu kills Tian Xi and escapes, but he is injured, he can't go too fast, and before he gets out of the city, the Tartar will be killed, and ten will die under the Tartar's knife. As long as I can die.

The Tartar left in such a grand manner, after the Tartar left, the pot in Beijing was boiled Zhang Yanfengyan was furious, and for the first time called the first assistant Zhou Daodeng, and reprimanded him.

Zhou Daodeng's temper is good, he is submissive, he doesn't say a word, anyway, no matter how you scold, I just don't reply. Zhang Yan scolded, drove Zhou Daodeng out, and sat on the chair, his anger still could not be calmed.

The Tartar soldiers all went to Beijing to show off their might, and the imperial court raised so many soldiers and horses, and raised so many generals, all of them ate dry rice! This matter must not be left alone!

The Queen Mother was furious, and the ministers must find a scapegoat. Shoufu Zhou Daodeng must be the first to bear the brunt, your brother has a good temper, he doesn't bully you, who do you bully. Therefore, one chapter after another impeaching Zhou Daodeng followed, and Zhou Daodeng did not hesitate to see such a posture and directly submitted the resignation. When the Queen Mother saw Zhou Daodeng resigning, she naturally approved it happily, you old fool, hurry up and go home to retire.

Zhou Daodeng was driven away, and the work of digging up scapegoats in Beijing at that time was not over. The second to be impeached was naturally Xiong Tingbi, who lost the battle. You old guy, don't think that the big guys are all fools, a lost battle is a lost battle, what is meant by an equal division. Jinzhou is lost, Liaoyang is a lonely city, there is no grain and grass inside, there are no reinforcements outside, can Wenlong defend it inside? You said that you dug up Nurhachi's body, but Huang Taiji said that it was fake, and he didn't buy it at all, and now it doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as Huang Taiji doesn't buy it, it's fake. Lost 50,000 or 60,000 horses, lost Jinzhou, sent troops without authorization, and did not lead the main force back to King Qin, causing the Tartars to burn, kill, loot and be unscrupulous in the Central Plains, how did you, the governor of Jiliao, do it?

Xiong Tingbi is Yang Yishan's father-in-law, and he has a bit of a foundation, although the whole dynasty is impeached, at least the Yue Party is still protected, and he keeps excusing Xiong Tingbi. This crime, if you want to change to someone else, even if you don't lose your head, you have to be arrested and imprisoned, relying on the help of Yue Dang, and finally let Xiong Tingbi ask for retirement.

Shoufu is gone, Governor Jiliao is gone, someone has to do these two errands. According to common sense, the Yue Party at this time will definitely jointly guarantee the return of Lord Yue, but this time, under the leadership of Yang Yishan, the Yue Party officials did not say a word. Whoever you want to promote, you can promote, anyway, we will procure Lord Yue, and the Queen Mother may not be able to approve it, so it is better not to say a word. In this way, the Queen Mother may also let Lord Yue come back. As for the position of governor of Jiliao, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang are guaranteed by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, and the Yue party is promoted by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides.

This chapter was sent to Zhang Yan, Empress Dowager Zhang is now a head or two, and she doesn't know who to listen to, so she has to talk to Zou Yi about it.

As soon as Zou Yi heard that the Queen Mother was going to see him, he immediately understood what was going on, and he was rushing to Cining Palace while pondering his rhetoric.

After arriving at the Cining Palace, Zhang Yan asked him to get up, and then said straight to the point: "Zou Yi, you have also seen the excerpts sent these days, what do you think about the candidates for this Shoufu and the governor of Jiliao?" ”

"On the Shoufu side, the courtiers unanimously recommended Qi Shijiao, and the old slave thought that it was okay for the Lord Qi to be the first assistant in terms of qualifications. It's just that according to the ranking, it should be filled by the second assistant Lord Yue, but the old slave is very puzzled, there is no single chapter to invite Lord Yue back, it's really strange. Zou Yi said cautiously.

In fact, saying this, Zou Yi is also pretending to be confused, everyone knows that the Yue Party proposes to let Yue Su come back, and the Queen Mother will definitely not approve it, if she doesn't mention it, maybe there will be a chance. Zou Yi mentioned Yue Su's name, in fact, to remind Zhang Yan that now that the country has reached this point, it is time for Lord Yue to come back.

"Yue Su ......" Zhang Yan sighed and said: "Yang Yishan's gang don't ask Yue Su to come back, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know what it means, this is to retreat as advance, they can't wait for the mourning family to invite Yue Su back." Alas......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "I originally planned to wait for the emperor to be older, and the emperor ordered Yue Su to come back, but now I can't wait." On the Shaanxi side, Yang He suppressed the bandits for so long, but they all found nothing, and the new Hong Chengchou had some ability, and drove the Liukou into Sichuan, and the most capable person at that time had to be Yue Su. That Wang Jiayin, no one could take him, and as soon as Yue Su arrived, he took his head. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who else can match Yue Su, the vision of the first emperor will not be wrong. ”

Yue Su presented the excerpt of the victory, Zhang Yan naturally saw it, but he was busy with the affairs of the Tartars a few days ago, so how could he have time to take care of anything else. Now that I think about it, Zhang Yan still thinks that the most reliable minister in the Manchu Dynasty has to be Yue Aiqing.

Seeing Zhang Yan praising Yue Su, Zou Yi didn't dare to say a word, just stood carefully.

And Zhang Yan, after saying that, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "By the way, the candidate for the governor of Jiliao, some people recommend Yuan Chonghuan, and some people recommend Hong Chengchou. Zou Qing, what do you think? ”

Zou Yi hurriedly replied: "Lord Yuan and Lord Hong are both outstanding people in the world, Lord Yuan has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he is a student of Lord Sun, the former governor of Jiliao, so it is understandable for him to take over." Lord Hong is the governor of the three sides, and when he exterminated the Liukou, he had already shown his means, and it was extremely suitable for him to be the governor of Jiliao. The two of them are suitable, but on Lord Hong's side, the rogues have not yet been completely wiped out, and there are still a lot of remnants that need to be dealt with by Lord Hong. So, it's best to stay there and stay still. ”

A fox is a fox, first praised the two of them, and didn't mention who took over at the bottom, only saying that Hong Chengchou couldn't leave. In and out of the words, it was revealed that Yuan Chonghuan would take over.

"According to the meaning of the Qing family, Yuan Chonghuan is intentional, Yuan Chonghuan is now the governor of Liaodong, if he takes over the post of governor of Jiliao, is it a little too unusual." Zhang Yan felt reasonable, Hong Chengchou's side, don't move if you can.

But a governor was promoted to the governor of two provinces, which is really a bit big. You must know that the first two people who were the governors of Jiliao were all secretaries of the military department. With Yuan Chonghuan's current qualifications, it is still a lot worse.

"The Governor is a little too big, otherwise it might be better under a different name." Zou Yi said cautiously.

"What's the name?" Zhang Yan immediately asked.

"The governor got on his horse to manage the soldiers and dismounted to manage the people, but there were not many people in Liaodong, and some of them were all in the pass. It would be enough to place another governor. The old slave thought that it would be good to give Yuan Chonghuan an official position in charge of the army alone, which was slightly bigger than the Jing and did not have the right to be a governor. Zou Yi replied.

"Then tell me, what kind of official position is this?" Zhang Yan asked again.

"The old slave thinks that the title of Jiliao Inspector may be good. Just care about the soldiers and horses in Jizhen and Liaodong, I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks? Zou Yi said cautiously.

The two official names of the Governor of Jiliao and the Governor of Jiliao seem to be similar, but the powers were different at that time, and the Governor was more powerful than the Governor. The governor is in charge of both the army and the people, but the governor is only in charge of the army, but it is higher than the strategy. Because in the Ming Dynasty, the governor and the governor were at the same level, and they did not control each other, and when they were fighting, they often caused discord between the economy and the governor, which made the success and failure of the success. If the governor is higher than the governor, this will not be the case.

"Ji Liao Inspector ......" Zhang Yan sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's call Ji Liao Inspector." However, don't make a decree to appoint Yuan Chonghuan to this official position first, the mourning family wants to see what Yuan Chonghuan is capable of, and pass him on to Beijing. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."
