Chapter 677: Impeachment
The so-called Gonggon Zhugong, to put it bluntly, is the official of science and Taoism, before and after the great victory, they have completely changed their appearance, before mentioning my answer, they are all sad and angry, at every turn is to ride and shoot unparalleled, invincible, lightly provoke the border, and bring disaster to the country and the people; When the good news reached the capital, they immediately changed their faces.
Straighten his chest, speak loudly, and want to carry the jade dragon to die for the king, the prancing horse and the sword, and kill into the grassland, Yan Ran stranded, as if I am a local chicken and a dog, not worth mentioning.
From low self-esteem to arrogance, the transformation is so fast and so sloppy.
Of course, as the commander of the three armed forces, Tang Yi is not blindly optimistic, and at the same time, he will not be inferior and discouraged. Only by looking at the opponent can you see clearly with a calm mind.
First of all, the accumulation of shortcomings in the nine sides has not changed, the generals are incompetent, the military household system is full of drawbacks, and the cities and forts are in disrepair and cannot resist attacks. There is a serious shortage of horses in the army, poor mobility, and few firearms and equipment......
If you don't adjust your own problems, it's not realistic to defeat your opponent completely.
As for Ida, it is true that he has been hit hard, but he has been crisscrossing the grasslands for thirty years, and he has accumulated a lot of power. A fiasco was not enough to cause a group of heroes to rise up and oppose me together.
After being injured, I will take revenge more frantically, and at the same time, I will be more cautious.
Take this time as an example, it wasn't for Tang Yi who used the bait of the mutual market to attract me, Qi Jiguang never had a chance to succeed in the first battle with a long-distance attack.
The time, place, and people are all right, and if you want to repeat the miracle in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it.
The Mongols would certainly have learned their lesson and would no longer engage in large-scale main skirmishes with the Ming army, but instead use the advantage of speed to disperse their forces and at the same time harass the long frontier, leaving the Ming army exhausted and losing the other.
In the face of the new situation, the nine sides, which are full of drawbacks, will definitely be stumbling and unsustainable.
After listening to Tang Yi's analysis, Zhang Rong and Zhang Yongming couldn't help but extend their thumbs.
No success was picked up, Tang Yi's insight was really clever, not arrogant or impetuous, calm and objective, not carried away by the victory at all, but thinking more long-term and more thoroughly, it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have someone so commanding!
Following Tang Yi's train of thought, what Daming lacks most at the moment is time, and it is the best choice to win peace talks, lest I jump off the wall in a hurry and the fish die and the net is broken.
It's just that obviously those Qingliu will be unhappy, and will even accuse Tang Yi of being afraid of the enemy and avoiding war, and being cowardly and incompetent.
In their dictionary, there is no gray except black and white.
It's sad to say that as Sun Tzu's Art of War, the descendants of the 36 strategies are so elm-headed, they don't know how to be flexible, and they don't know whether to cry or laugh.
Zhang Yongming pondered for a while with a calm face, and said, "Tang Shuai, this is a sparse for me!" I suggested to the imperial court that we should take advantage of the victory and seek peace. ”
never expected that Zhang Yongming would be so righteous, but Tang Yi was embarrassed. He just hoped that Zhang Yongming could suppress the official of Kedao as the imperial history of the left capital, so as not to cause trouble to himself.
Who knew that Zhang Yongming was willing to be a pawn for himself and fired the first shot, which made Tang Yicheng panic.
"Lord Commander-in-Chief, as the Governor of Xuanda, the next battle strategy should be proposed by me, how can I bother my lord!"
"Hehe, Tang Shuai is just because you are the governor of Xuanda and the nemesis of my answer, so you can't let you express your position casually, you must know that your words and deeds are very important, and they are much more important than me, the imperial history of the left capital!"
Zhang Yongming seems to be joking, but in fact it is from the bottom of his heart, he and Tang Shunzhi are good friends, Xu Jie is the benefactor who promoted him, it is very difficult to be a person in the middle, Zhang Yongming is getting more and more tired of officialdom, he looks down on the official position, and he does things with his conscience, as long as he is good to Daming, he has no hesitation.
After staying in Xuanfu for five days, Zhang Yongming learned in detail about the battle, checked the heads and prisoners, obtained the list of meritorious soldiers, and gathered the captured Mongolian nobles and traitors, and transferred them back to the capital under the escort of 2,000 cavalry.
When the huge procession arrived in the capital, the people on both sides were crowded, looking forward to it, and it was countless times more spectacular than the great victory commanded by Tang Shunzhi more than a year ago.
Looking at the carts of human heads, as well as countless prisoners, the people were full of red light and amazement.
When the victory arrived at the noon gate, Xu Jie personally greeted him, Tang Shunzhi, and the two newly added scholars Yan Ne and Li Chunfang all followed closely, plus Hu Zongxian, the secretary of the military department, Yang Bo, the secretary of the ministry, Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, and the big names came.
Especially Zhu Xizhong, rushed up, walked around the loot, rubbed his hands while watching, grinned, and smiled so much that he couldn't be happier.
"Haha, it's worthy of my nephew Zhu Xizhong, it's amazing! It's like his uncle! ”
As soon as the adults heard his shameless words, they all turned their heads, let's make a face, if Tang Yi is like you, it will become a rice bucket, can you still beat me?
Zhu Xizhong suddenly didn't realize it, stretched out his big fat hand, pulled Zhang Yongming, and asked with concern: "Lord Zhang, why didn't my nephew enter Beijing to offer prisoners, he fought such a big victory, he should let the people of the world see it, and the imperial court can't treat the heroes badly." ”
Tang Yi had long shirked the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners in the name of war tension. Zhu Xizhong is not unclear, he said it in order to add color to Tang Yi.
How could Zhang Yongming not know, he sighed: "Tang Shuai defeated the strong soldiers with a weak brigade, and tens of thousands of soldiers worked tirelessly to hit me hard, which is really a rare victory in decades, Tang Shuai's strategic merits are unparalleled in the world!" It is even more far-sighted, beyond the reach of others, and I answer the new defeat, it is difficult to guarantee that the dog will not jump off the wall in a hurry. Tang Shuai once said to his official that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Although it is a big victory, you should be more careful. He ordered his officers and men to step up their military training, actively prepare for war, and guard against a counterattack. The imperial court has such people who are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, why worry that the Ming Dynasty is not strong, and I will not be destroyed! ”
Lord General Xian, who has always cherished words like gold, praised Tang Yi so much, which made the officials present even more admired and admired. It's just that a trace of displeasure flashed in Xu Jie's eyes.
Tang Yi's big victory, of course, is good for him, but the biggest benefit is Tang Shunzhi, seeing the master and apprentice join forces and cooperate internally and externally. Lao Xu felt more and more lonely and lonely.
His own protégés and disciples are all over the world, but why can't they get their hands on them!
Xu Jie sighed secretly, quickly adjusted, and said to Zhang Yongming and Zhang Rong with a smile: "Your Majesty is waiting in the Wanshou Palace, you have to listen carefully to the war, you have to think carefully, and be careful to reply." ”
Zhang Yongming was stunned, what does Xu Jie mean by this?
Could it be that I said good things for Tang Yi? People are working hard, and the victory they have won can't be said to be how to drop? When you weren't the first assistant, you were good, how did you become the first assistant, and you changed a person? No wonder people say that Xu Jie is becoming more and more like Yan Song.
Zhang Yongming's qualifications are old enough, and he is not good-tempered, he arrived at Wanshou Palace, and after meeting Jiajing, he didn't listen to Xu Jie's set at all.
Seeing that Jiajing liked it, he focused on how Tang Yi planned a thousand-mile attack, how he confused me answer, and did not avoid the arrow, so he went to the right guard in person, commanded the defense of the city, and pursued me answer.
In the end, he even said Tang Yi's hope to take the opportunity to negotiate with me and gain time to prepare for the war.
"Your Majesty, Tang Shuai is honest in seeking the country, has a strategy, and is more prestigious, he is really an example of the nine-sided generals, and the ministers think that they should reward the meritorious ministers and stimulate morale, so that they can survive a hundred battles and reshape the prestige of the great tomorrow!"
Jiajing listened patiently to the narration, he was amazed by Tang Yi's strategy, and he was also happy because he was fooling and playing with me, and he was even more amazed that he could go to the front line in person and not be afraid of hardships and dangers
In Jiajing's view, if he is willing to do things, he is a good courtier.
It just so happened that Tang Yi had made a great contribution again, wouldn't it seem that Emperor Zhu was too stingy if he didn't reward him.
Jiajing immediately ordered the cabinet and the Ministry of War to jointly draw up a list of meritorious soldiers, the focus of which was how Tang Yi should be rewarded, and it would not be too much to give him a knighthood for his merits. It's just that Jiajing is a little cautious, the civil official knighthood is definitely not trivial, it often means that there is a rebellion in the country and the society is in danger......
Of course, Jiajing didn't want to admit it, Xu Jie's pulse was accurate, and finally decided to add the title of Prince Tang Yi to the Ministry of Young Soldiers, becoming a veritable second-rank officer, and continuing the military affairs of the Governor Xuanda.
There is no controversy about the promotion, but another thing has been met with an unprecedented backlash, and the force is so great that it even exceeds everyone's expectations.
Tang Yi suggested that he and I agreed to win and negotiate peace, even if it didn't work, we could buy time, and the longer it was delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for me, you must know that there are still more than two months before the spring flowers bloom.
Burn the big plate sheng, I have no food, I will definitely die, when the internal instability comes, the voice of opposition to I will come out, Da Ming can take the opportunity to divide and disintegrate, weaken the power of my answer.
God is pitiful, Tang Yi is wholeheartedly thinking about Daming. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this is the safest and most trouble-free solution.
Even Zhang Yongming felt that even if there was some noise, it would not be good.
But when it was thrown, it stabbed the hornet's nest, and the first to fire the cannon was Hu Yingjia, who wrote to impeach Zhang Yongming for two crimes, one of which was to make peace lightly, which damaged the prestige of heaven and affected morale; Second, I answered the fiasco, and at the end of the strong crossbow, I didn't think about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but instead discussed and connived at the enemy, I don't know what to say.
These two charges are nominally to impeach Zhang Yongming, but in fact they point to Tang Yi, especially the second one, his implication is to raise self-respect, that is, to deceive the Son of Heaven!
What a big crime, what a poisonous pen.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are the most important in their conduct, and once they are impeached, they will be punished lightly, and when the investigation is returned to their innocence, they can be re-elected.
Zhang Yongming was full of grievances, and immediately wrote a book, and he mentioned in the recital that the peace negotiation was the result of careful consideration, and I replied that there were still hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were many disadvantages on the nine sides, so the enemy should not be underestimated......
His heartfelt words did touch Jiajing, but at this time, another scolding god Xin Zixiu also wrote a book, and he expanded the target of impeachment to Tang Yi, attacking his border ministers for befriending close servants and lying about the military situation.
There were two scolding gods who took the lead, and then countless officials followed up, and there were dozens of impeachment notes alone, which almost overwhelmed Tang Yi.
"It's madness!" Hu Zongxian slapped the table vigorously and scolded angrily: "I think these beasts don't give loyal ministers a way to live!" (To be continued.) )
