211 Kill the Commander-in-Chief
In fact, there are many, many departments in the Ming Empire that are now tormented by war and are almost collapsing, far more than a Ministry of Rites in charge of foreign affairs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 For example, the household department in charge of the banknote "Imperial Coin" issued by the Ming Empire is also very troubled at this moment because of the impact of the war.
On the one hand, because the war requires a lot of money, food and materials, a large part of these things come from the collection and mobilization of the household department, and on the other hand, because the war continues, the financial environment of the Ming Empire has become more and more unstable. Part of this is due to the negative effects of war, and part of it is due to the manipulation of many forces.
Internationally, for various reasons, the "Imperial Gold Coin", the international currency of the gold standard issued by the Ming Empire, is depreciating, and it has depreciated by a large amount. Trillions of assets evaporated in a month, whether it was the enemy's or the Ming Empire's own, in short, this loss is incalculable.
If which country holds the most gold coins of the Ming Empire, it is undoubtedly the Ming Empire itself, at this time because of the war and the deterioration of the investment environment, the currency depreciation directly affected the economic development of the Ming Empire, this is not a small matter, the household department Shangshu Li Mingyi, and Wang Jue's second uncle household servant Wang Jianshan has urgently convened four internal expansion meetings of the household department to discuss the necessary measures to deal with the current situation.
The gold coins of the Ming Empire continued to decline around the world, which also affected the international credit of the Ming Empire, and the imperial gold coin reserves of many countries had begun to shrink, which further exacerbated the impact of the war within the Ming Empire. This is also a reason why major countries criticize the Ming Empire and demand an immediate truce from the Ming Empire.
Wang Jue, who was far away in northern Liao, finally withdrew his gaze from the depths of the distant sky, looked at the Jinyi Wei Han, barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "I think, it won't be too long before His Majesty the Emperor will have to end this war with dignity and restore the Ming Empire to a state of peace." ”
"Are you willing?" The big man of Jinyi Wei stared at Wang Jue who was speaking, as if he wanted to see something from Wang Jue's face, but he didn't see any useful expression, Wang Jue was still the stiff face with a smile.
Dahan still had no beginning or end in his words, but Wang Jue understood his words, he nodded and admitted his thoughts, and replied: "Willingly, the Ming Empire ushered in a long-lost victory, that is, I won-since I won, then why am I unwilling?" ”
After saying this, Wang Jue passed by the big man of Jinyiwei with his hands behind his back, and slowly said a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Maybe the holy decree will arrive in a few days, and I, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong New Army, will also unload the burden on my shoulders and go home to be an unemployed young man." ”
The big man turned his head suddenly, looked at the back of this unexpectedly mature young man, and was so shocked for a while that he asked a sentence: "You and Your Majesty are like brothers, how can Your Majesty be willing to deal with you because of this little matter?" Moreover, who can be in charge of the new army except you, the commander? ”
"Those bigwigs in the court have already been arranged, haven't they? Compared to those people, you, I...... But they're just chess pieces. Wang Jue stopped walking forward, turned sideways, turned back to the big man of Jinyiwei and said, "Perhaps, it's still the kind of cheaper pawn......
However, there was one sentence he didn't say to the big man in front of him, he felt that he should keep this secret in his heart and bring it into his coffin - compared to those so-called old foxes who are old and sophisticated, His Majesty the Emperor who is now sitting on the dragon chair is the real ruthless person, and those old guys who use Wang Jue or the new army as pawns are not insignificant chess pieces in the hands of the young emperor?
Thinking of this, Wang Jue seemed to be in a better mood, he ignored the stunned big man and continued to walk away. Two hours earlier, a hasty rebellion had occurred in a division of the Liaobei Army, where thousands of men armed up and tried to rebel, but were bloodily suppressed by the troops of another division. At least 500 Liaobei soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 1,700 were sentenced to death afterwards...... When Wang Jue looked up at the sky, the more than 1,700 people had not yet been executed.
If anything is too fast, it will definitely leave a flaw, even Wang Jue can't ensure that the Liaobei Army troops, who are already anti-minded, will really obey the dispatch of the imperial court without temper. However, Wang Jue has already grasped the general trend, and those slight discordant notes will be eliminated sooner or later.
Wang Jue gave the order to eradicate all those who opposed the imperial court's dispatch very normally, and this order was indeed seriously implemented in the Liaobei Army. It was not easy for everyone to take off the label of anti-thief, and of course they will not continue to oppose the court. Those who fantasized about saving Wang Futong and continuing to claim hegemony in northern Liaobei soon saw how sharp Wang Jue's butcher's knife was.
The garrison of the rebellious cavalry division was now covered in blood, and groups of rebels who had been tied up one after another were pressed to the ground in order, and their heads were cut off by the law enforcement team of the Liaobei Army. As the knife rose and fell, the round head with the sprayed blood shook everyone's hearts. Crying began to sound, and remorse and resentment began to spread among the captives, but no matter how many pleadings the kneeling men pleaded, the execution of the knife and axe did not stop.
Across the area where he served, he went to the area of the border general next door, beheaded the feudal officials of the imperial court, and then issued an order for the relocation of the troops, and several large-scale personnel adjustments were carried out during the period...... As a result, more than 2,000 people died in the process.
This kind of thing is placed in the Gyeonggi court of the Ming Empire, and it is simply no different from rebellion. Even with the approval and secret system of Emperor Zhu Mu, this is a violation of the laws and regulations of the Ming Empire, and it must be dealt with seriously and seriously.
And the result of this treatment must be very serious. So in the end, no matter what the incident turned out to be, His Majesty the Heavenly Thunder Emperor would not personally go into battle to carry it. Wang Jue had already thought very clearly from the beginning of planning this matter - he had to resist the whole thing and wait for the execution results from the central government.
Even a fool can see that Wang Futong has long had a heart of disobedience, and even the war situation in Liaodong has long proved that Wang Futong is definitely a mediocre minister who does not act, and it is the responsibility of the empire to maintain the inviolability of the identity of officials, and the dignity and personal safety of officials of the Ming Empire. In any case, Wang Jue's actions must be severely punished to prevent anyone from challenging the authority of the ruling class of the Ming Empire again in the future.
Liaobei is still the same desert scene, and it is still so barren and deserted. In the garrison of the Liaobei Army, tens of thousands of troops have been dispatched and slowly marching towards the territory of Inner Mongolia. They had to go there to accept the rectification and reorganization of the imperial court, and only when they got there could they receive the materials and military salaries allocated to them by the imperial court.
……
"What? What did you say? Wang Jue took over the Liaobei Army? Wang Futong ...... Bastard! Monkey business! He is going to roast the royal family on the fire! In the palatial office that originally belonged to Zhao Hongshou and Zhao Shoufu, Wang Jianfeng slapped his big hand on the desk made of precious nanmu.
He slapped so hard that the water glasses on the table, as well as paperweights and stationery such as pen holders, made a rattle from the vibration. Wang Jianfeng stared angrily at the officer who came to deliver the news to him, and even had the urge to open his mouth to curse.
couldn't help but make him Wang Jianfeng not angry, in the news just now, there were too many things that stimulated him. He even had the illusion that his son seemed to be going to rebel against the Ming Empire in the northeast region of the empire.
Although he knew that this was impossible, what Wang Jue did in Liaobei, was there any essential difference between this and rebellion? That's Wang Futong! That's the commander-in-chief of the Northern Liaobei Army! That's a real second-class member of the imperial court! That's a feudal official who even the emperor doesn't have the authority to directly order the execution!
crossed the area where he served, went to the area of the border general next door, beheaded the feudal officials of the imperial court, and then issued an order to mobilize troops without authorization...... During this period, several large-scale personnel adjustments were also carried out -- thinking of the things mentioned in these news, Wang Jianfeng felt dizzy, and there was a feeling of detachment from top to bottom.
Even a fool can see that Wang Futong has long had a heart of disobedience, and even the battle situation in Liaodong has long proved that Wang Futong is definitely a mediocre minister who does not act. But Wang Jue didn't have the right to kill him, and even Emperor Zhu Mu, who ordered Wang Jue to do so, didn't have the power.
Zhu Mu could order Wang Fu to return to Beijing with him, and he originally did the same, but this matter was persuaded to stop by the Ministry of War. Zhu Mu also has the right to directly arrest Wang Futong and escort him back to Beijing for trial, and then convict and behead him -- but he does not have the power to directly execute Wang Futong!
If the ministers don't pursue this matter, maybe Wang Jue will be punished harshly and will be able to get away with it. If this matter had been placed in a peaceful period in the past, relying on the power of the Wang family and the favoritism of the emperor, the Wang family would at least not be implicated.
But now, just looking at the disgust and jealousy of the government and the opposition towards Wang Jue, the "emperor eagle dog", I know how many people will make a fuss about this matter. According to Ge Tian's charter, the Ministry of Household Officials and even the Ministry of Industry of the Ministry of Lili hope to end the war, and the easiest and most direct way to end the battle of Liaodong is to directly kill Wang Jue, the commander of the new army!
